I rode a bike trail a few hours north that looked a lot like this. Those boards on the deck are slick when wet. Probably not what they intended. I had a couple of bruises from hitting the railings like a pinball... Loved every minute of it. Great picture!
Looks like The Prisoner, with the inflatables ready to attack...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.

My traditional New Year's Eve detritus picture to start off the year:
Due to the special circumstances, this was actually the first time I had to arrange it.
Another old one from NYC. Not selective colour processing, it was just like that!

A bit of a challenging subject for my Fuji XP90 camera which has no RAW. Required an overcast sky, a slight negative exposure value bias, perspective correction, slight crop, and some density compensation to get an image I liked.
Yes indeed. That was probably shot #5 with it (I would take a shot, move up, take another, move up some more, until he spooks). That was at 400mm, 1/2000, ISO 400. I wasn’t minding my settings very well, as I could have easily dropped to native ISO and leaned on OIS+IBIS to do the rest. 1/2000 is overkill for the gear in a still frame situation. I’ll often go down to 1/125 for the 75-300 at 300mm if the subject isn’t in motion.
This morning the lake was partly iced-over and there were loads of geese on it, trying to navigate their way between ice floes. Some were sitting or standing on the ice while others were sloshing along in the water with ice just beneath them.
Not often you see a goose walking on water:

I miss those central-belt Victorian Scottish sandstone houses. Nice capture of the blackbird by the way
Whenever I see birds in ice cold water, I wonder how their little feet don’t freeze off.
The other side.

Stunning.
