VERY good, Detective AFB!!!!! Exactly so!!! I was sitting here and went to wipe something off the desktop, so picked up one of the trivets, which I'd had out earlier for supporting an external drive, and casually leaned the trivet against the 2018 MBP, which is on a stand, using the edge of the round Apple orange mouse pad to support it, keep it propped up while I took care of the sticky whatever that was on the glass desk surface. Then I looked at this for a moment, grabbed the iPhone and took a couple of shots.
As a friend on another forum says, "art is everywhere....."
My personal project reminded me that Dry January is nearly finished...
Well I had insider information. I know orange is your favourite colour, you have the same trivets as me and I know you have a MacBook Pro.VERY good, Detective AFB!!!!! Exactly so!!!

@mollyc Geez Louise - great stuff! Even more than your normal great stuff!
Oh. Wow. Thank you. Zero things inspiring outside right now so grocery store flowers FTW!
Ah, all the hallmarks of a good detective: excellent use of deductive reasoning based on knowledge acquired at the scene or previously, and the ability to pull all these seemingly varying facts together to come to a conclusion! The RIGHT conclusion at that.....
Actually, I suppose I should have addressed you as DI (Detective Inspector) AFB.....(can you tell I love British mysteries and suspense novels?)
One from July 2015; 20 Fenchurch Street in London, nicknamed The Walkie Talkie.
My local churchyard yesterday, shot with iPhone SE 2 against the sun, shaded with my hand to stop the glare...

Nice. I recently read about this building. It had a design flaw; the curved glass side of the building acted as a giant mirror and bundled the heat of the sun (even in London!). So they had to attach sunscreens: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/...ilding-london-melts-sunlight-physics-science/ To make things worse: the architect knew about this problem, he designed a similar building in Las Vegas....

Cracking views from the restaurant on the top floor. Here's the same building from a different perspective in 2017:

Yes, that's right and there were stories of parts of parked cars melting on the street below! ?

Neat trick using your hand. I’ll try to use that; I resorted to using a tree for my graveyard shot.My local churchyard yesterday, shot with iPhone SE 2 against the sun, shaded with my hand to stop the glare...

So hard to take. Had to keep waiting for people to get out of the picture. The would exit, then loiter FOREVER smack dab in the middle of the photo I was trying to take. Gave up with one, and framed where background supported easy cloning.

This is another from an old nearby orchard, slightly botched as I failed to focus on the nearest bit
One of the supports of the High Level Bridge, a Lethbridge, AB landmark. This from 2005, taking advantage of the extreme depth of field that little Olympus camera could deliver. Pretty much as it came from the camera.
Couple of years ago(almost to the day) on Am Bodach, Glencoe. iPhone 6 panorama.
This being Scotland, it rained the next day!
