I am this weeks judge and executioner of the POTW contest and this weeks topic is tools. So I thought it time to do a picture of my dad's Brunton Pocket Transit. This one made in the late 1940s, but they are still made today.

Weekly Contest December 6 - December 13, 2021 : Tools
Tools, the things we use to make a task either easier or possible: An incredibly broad topic, that only excludes politicians and similar riff-raff. Feel free to do some archive diving, if you must. However tools surround us and fresh shots should be possible for anyone using whatever camera you...

Been a busy end to this semester so haven’t had much time to take photos or post, but got this today from the Public Library, through the window with my iPhone.
Pastel homes on this street near where I grew up in the bay area.
Close, it's Daly City... it actually has some color when there's no fog
Darn. I knew had to be one of those two!Close, it's Daly City... it actually has some color when there's no fog
Beautiful shot. Do you suppose the homeowners coordinated the colours so they wouldn't clash? I like the contrast of the variety of colours in the houses to the bland homogeneity of the cars (except for the nonconformist red car)...
It's a great question, sure seems like it, right? What I like about is is there's no HOA or any of that, otherwise these homes would all be a homogeneous pale shade of brown with absolutely no character.

please note all photos should be your own, per the rules in the first post. ?
Is that quote what you mean? I don’t see anything else specifically saying it must be a photo taken by the poster. Though that should be added.
What part of "YOUR best pictures" wouldn't a reader understand?
Also in reading the rest of the text, it's pretty obvious (at least to me) that the photos must be shot by the member posting them.
"Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.
Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.
Policies
*One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day.
*Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.
*SFW (Safe for Work) only - This is a site - wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.
*Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens."
ETA: From iGary's original post on May 27, 2006:
Thought it would be fun to share one of your best every day - doesn't matter what it is, just as long as it is decent (no nudes or overly graphic shots). You can add a picture everyday as long as it is different.
It does not matter when the picture was taken, as long as you only post ONE SINGLE IMAGE per day. Make sure to post a date, location and description.
