Blasphemy I know but I'm a sucker for sharp images, contrast and shadows...I like your shot a lot more than Ansel's.

~ Peter

Thanks ….. But you wouldn't be saying that if Ansel hadn't left his red #25 filter back at the hotel .

Just as an aside , I believe the folks at the Ansel Adams Trust monitor POTD and may be sending some goons to your place later to gently persuade you of the error of your way .

Are you sure? Is that you in the fender?

@OzBok Thanks for the kind words! Love that shot. Hope he didn't notice you

Mine for today: took the kiddo to the local children's museum late yesterday. As on previous trips, the "water room" was the biggest hit. It's very interactive and that water cyclone in the background "loves" to be fed balls (and other supplied objects) which get sucked down and then spat out the bottom

I like the composition here but... what is it?

Thanks, Ken. It's just a close-up of an old pail handle that is chained in place to stop its theft.

New day on the east coast of the US . Today's pic is a follow up on yesterday's. Another pic of the kiddo from the Children's Museum. Thank heaven for the supplied smocks as he would have been a wet mess otherwise

Taos through the trees…
The taller part of the structure is alleged to be the oldest continuously inhabited structure in the U.S. . About 900-1000 years old . Some folks still live in the Pueblo . No indoor plumbing , no electricity , get their water from the nearby stream … Thoreau would be proud .

Doylem?

Not my glasses (the eyebrows aren't attached)...

I can never visit my favourite stone circle - Long Meg and her Daughters - without taking a few pix...

It's me all right - but I call that a shadow.....

Really like that image! very nice!!!

Thanks Kenoh. As shot, it was an ordinary pic, but amazing what lightroom can do.

Lol. You're a bad man!

Actually I'm fine with moths and butterflies.

Nah, just a non committed chef, I only like to stir the pot occasionally!

That would have to be some of Jaguars finest work.

Hope nobody is getting sick of the zoo day, another one.
I think the Lemur saw somebody tasty walking past...

One of several statues commemorating the civil rights movement in Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham, Alabama. I found it quite effective in putting me in a specific time and place walking the path through this.
