She was closed when we were there, but it's certainly the brightest red I've seen.

Braved the 115ºF(46ºC) temps to get a shot of the sheikh zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi, UAE. My buddy taking it all in.

Trying my hand at cloning / stamping / erasing objects. The original had several trees, light poles, and other objects in it. I just wanted the sky.

Sorry your not going to get away with that. I'm sure there must be more to this story.
I live in a small town, and there's really only one street conducive to street photography, so I hang out there quite a bit. For months now I've been seeing this guy on a scooter flying down the road with a raccoon crawling all over his back and head as he drives. And for months I've been trying to steal a photograph, but he's usually moving too fast and I notice too late, so the moment eludes me.
Today was a lovely day, so I took a walk down my lone street, and I stumbled upon this man and his pet raccoon, this time parked and refueling. A crowd began to form, and all manner of tourists and shopkeepers came out to see this animal. The raccoon was quite popular with the ladies. One shopkeeper brought a banana. I snapped away, but even on the sidewalk, the man barely stood still. I asked him for a portrait, and he gladly agreed, but he moved around so much it was tough to capture a good shot.
And that is the story of how I photographed a man with his pet raccoon.
Thanks for the back story! Nicely captured. A good street shot should leave you wanting to know more. You captured that essence perfectly!I live in a small town, and there's really only one street conducive to street photography, so I hang out there quite a bit.

Looks like a lot of fun! Very cool!
Thank you. I'm still running in at the moment but it seems to be powerful enough for just a 250

Nice. Just in time for the good weather.
And just in time for retirement. That can't be a coincedence. Have fun Hughmac
I've had bikes of some sort for nearly 40 years - it's just a whim that bought me this, that and the previous machine was just not powerful enough
35 days to go though (I'm not counting)

Gorgeous colours. Mother nature has the best paintbrush!

Stop it Dad!
You from Newcastle?
Did you miss that.
It's not shot with a Leica, so the resolution is poor. Sad times are these.

No the Leicas are in Germany getting some TLC... expected back tomorrow...
