Because I'm always looking stuff up ... have you managed an evening or night shot of the Domino's Sugar sign?
Went for a wander in a local(ish) country park yesterday and the lake was looking really atmospheric and moody. I managed to successfully cock up all of the shots I took of it for some reason. I must be out of practice. This one was the least terrible and it's still not that great. A very disappointing afternoon photographically.
Pretty dismal wet/foggy day here so took your location advice Ian. Used Nik for the conversion since it involved a bit too-much playing with in C1P. Comments always appreciated.

Glad you enjoyed it ... Both of my grandparents former houses are in New Ferry close to the water. I spent the first five years of my life in one of them before moving to Bebington. The Esplanade (in the other direction from this shot) has some really nice older houses that were very 'posh' for the area.

Not specifically but I did capture a shot last year that has the sign in the background. Sometime this year I hope to shoot the sign from different vantage points and see what I can come up with. That sign is so iconic around here I've kind of shied away from doing this, you see images of it everywhere.
What is the story here!? Inquiring minds want to know.

Nice! I love Alaska...IMO, the most beautiful state in the US.
Nice... but could you not have took a stroll round the corner and taken a shot of all of it?

See there you go... and you're off.... interesting angle, curious subject matter...

Too hard on yourself...

So would I. I just happened to see them while sitting on a tour bus in London, and I had to take a few shots. My guess is they're some sort of Charlie Chaplin group.
Only the second time I've left the house in two weeks due to illness. I'll blame it on that

Been too busy to post much round here lately. Hopefully this can change in 2017:

Cool. Sometimes the best stories are the ones you imagine when you don't know the real story.
Our first Water Lily flower for the Summer season.
You're right - a few examples of Victorian and Edwardian splendour. Another one from that location. Comments always appreciated.

A little over done, but I like the effect...

A young alligator and a turtle in the mid day sun.
New Years day trip to the zoo, and was keen to get shots of animals I missed last time, as well as see if my shooting skills improved, obviously with my Nikon and not firearms of any kind.

Yeah I know. I personally would have liked to have seen the church in full but when traveling with the extended family I try not to push it too much ("I know the kids are hungry but give me a little more time to capture a few more pictures of something you don't care about").

Sounds like you rank as low in your house as I do in mine....
