Thank you. It's a family in silhouette before the Pacific Ocean. The tide was coming in and the light and the water on the sand made the beach into a mirror. It was amazing.

Thank you. I hope my photography is improving, but it may be just a lucky shot. I'm mostly just a point-and-shoot type of photographer.

If I'd just got the camera out a couple of minutes earlier it would have been better, half the red had gone by the time I'd got out and over the fields.

Ah still, very nice. I often catch the sky turning but it is mostly hidden by apartment blocks and I am too lazy to wander 15 minutes down the road to get a better view from the river.

Magnifico, why does my admission of laziness get a 4? You should be telling me off for it and smacking me on the wrist to make me go out and take more photos!

Oh, why the 4? Because I can sympathise with laziness.

I was able to cull through my picture collection this week for 'light' photos, but what would be ideal for me would to get the "assignment" for next week's subject today. That'd force me to go do something new, rather than raid the digital archive.

I keep intending to give us all an assignment to do but then the week flies by and it is friday again before I know it.  I think LEP is in charge of next week's photoblog.

How about My Square Mile?  ie a small series of photos that will show everybody the key features of where you live.  We could find out so much about each other!

Anyone who wants to should be able to participate in that.

Great idea. But I'm in France you know; so we'll have to call it "my square kilometre" or we can just say  "my neighborhood."

Wall of old wooden house on the shore road around Lake Tuusula, very close to Sibelius' house 'Ainola'. I couldn't get myself out of the picture and still get the good shadows, so I thought to hell with it.

Another Vic Falls photo - this one of a circular section of the gorge where a rainbow had formed in the mist.  I snapped this shot, but surprise just a little of the rainbow appears with its shadow - somewhat unique.

The nice thing (for me) about this photo is the silvery effect.  The whites and highlights are not quite white but silver. I kinda wonder if this would look even more interesting without the effect of the passing bus.

We have some excellent photos in today's photoblog and now I am going to completely lower the tone.  

This, is a remarkable heart shaped floater that a colleague of mine spotted in the ladies loos which resulted in me being sent in with my then olympus compact digicam to take a photo of it because the guys didn't believe us.


I'll keep it thumbnail sized so as not to overpower you all.

That's really nice. Where was it taken?  I thought I recognised it but then looking some more I probably just recognise the style - the stonework on the arches reminds me of the market square bit in Venice, with the outdoor stalls. Near the Rialto, I think.

it's the central piazza of perugia, the fountain has just been restored,

assisi has a radiantly pink stone, i suspect the stone for these constructions came from around there.

the light has been very dull this last week, i haven't been taking any new pix.

thanks, in wales!
