Great lines and vanishing point - nice use of colours as well.

Yet another one from my day out. This one from underneath a road bridge that itself is built over a medieval packhorse bridge. Comments always appreciated.

That's a great list. You guys will have a blast. Did you know you can camp inside Monument Valley? but it might be too cold now. We woke up with our view to The Mittens. Happy travels.
New in the household: the sleek, elegant. very highly reflective and super-fast Samsung X5 Thunderbolt 3 external SSD! I should've taken the time to do a proper "product shot" but wanted to start messing around with this thing and so just opted for a quick couple of shots instead, setting the drive on a mirror to also show off its nifty red underside. The smooth, glossy Space Grey top nicely complements my Space Grey MacBook Pro while the red bottom adds an unexpected jolt of color. Oh, and did I say it's fast, fast, FAST?! This is not your grandma's old external HDD!

Is it faster because it’s aerodynamic? Enjoy your new drives.New in the household: the sleek, elegant. very highly reflective and super-fast Samsung X5 Thunderbolt 3 external SSD!

I've been there 3 times already but I agree it is a beautiful spot with plenty of sites to photograph. Like this one of Cathedral Rock taken back in 2014.
This shot is.......smoking!
(sorry @kenoh) made me do it!

Beautiful
Thanks! In some review I read the writer mentioned the vague similarity to race car styling..... Maybe so, I wouldn't know, not being into that sort of thing! It is rather aerodynamic looking, and so that suggests speediness, true...... LOL! It is a bit longer and heavier than my Samsung T5 external SSDs. Unlike the latter, due to the different processor and the generation of more heat will in use, it has a heat sink, which accounts for the additional weight.
This thing is fast, no doubt about it! That said, though, in general I have noticed that all of my external drives, even the platter HDDs, seem to be faster on the 2018 MBP than on my 2015 one. What a difference three years and changes in technology can make!!!
Now that I've had my fun with right-out-of-the-box snapshots, then setting the X5 up and putting her to good use backing up my photos, some day when I'm looking for something to do I'll get out the light tent (to work around the reflectivity issues) and spend a little time doing a proper "product shoot" to do justice to this beautiful and intriguing device.

I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately and have vowed to get out more with my camera and get back into the swing of things. Went for a trip to the seaside today and unfortunately the conditions were a bit flat and dull. Here’s one of the pier anyway.

Too hilly for the Netherlands! Nice Monotone.

Another bucket list destination. I better hurry up!

Especially for @Scepticalscribe as I recall her love for biplanes coming up!
Yep.
I may have mentioned somewhere that I love biplanes.
Thanks for the shot - much appreciated.
Well when I read that post this shot came to mind! Also you could always take the position of one of the wing walkers!
This is a picture taken on the iPhone 7 Plus of the Skycoaster at a theme park I went to, I really like the angle I captured this at.
