Doylem I would have loved to have more time to explore and take photo's of the castle as well but I could only stop for 5 mins as I was heading somewhere at the rime. I plan on going back soon though : )

Freebooter I love the one night only shot !

Solracselbor The tap picture is great, I don't mind the blue drop at all.

Fett I like your Blue drop .

Pdxflint Nice shot, sentiments are usually more powerful than technique.

I was in Blois at about the same time that I took my other picture!
Quite a beautiful place... If I remember correctly, I think that I actually sat on the benches in your picture (They are near the castle which sits above most of the town, oui?) I also recognize the little round thing that sticks out from the wall overlooking the street...

Anyways, I think I'll change my photo in honor of that.. ;)
This is the same church that's in your photo!

What a lovely shot (pity the tower is a bit cut off at the top). Do you remember where this was taken?

Somewhere in the Loire valley, France, I think...

Yep, same place! I've got another photo taken from that little round thing that sticks out from the wall, also. It's really become a small world. I was browsing Flickr one day and happened upon a photo of a tree next to a river in Laos. I recognized the tree immediately cuz I have a bunch of photos I took of some kids playing on a rope swing on the same tree. Also a bit ironically, it's near Luang Prabang, the same place Freebooter has posted pics of recently. BTW, Freebooter, I've meant to say I enjoyed that series as it brought back memories of the time I spent there. Of all the places I went on a recent 8 month trip around the world, Luang Prabang, Laos was probably one of my favorite. Eventually I'll get around to posting some of my photos from there.

Posting Guidelines

In general, I think we really should stick to one photo per day. However, "infractions" thus far are not egregious. If members need to post "just one more thing" in a given day, so be it. The potential danger comes more from those members who then regularly post two, and then three photos per day. Then it turns into Flickr, and those folks should more properly just link to a photo site. (Also, posting 2 photos at once or 2 photos per day is the same "infraction" to some people.)

If a member posted lots of crappy photos each day (or multiple crappies, just once per day) - we would all be annoyed; hence, the guidelines.

Let's just try our best to stick with 1 photo per calendar day. Happy shooting!
:)

any chance to see this without the blue? a bit corny, perhaps I think.

Corny!!!! I'm APPALLED! No, j/k :D
The drop, in fact, is not blue, because everyone knows that water is transparent; it has no color. The blue you see is the reflection through the drop to the ocean in the back. The message I was trying to convey, which most people probably wont see, is that even the smallest things can come from the most necessary sources. Basically, we take the small things for granted and never look at the big picture. In this case, the drop of water comes from a greater source of water, and without this greater source there would be no life. Therefore, we never realize that the drop is only a "little" portion of the greater whole; "More than a little"

I thought it was cute :) Its an out of the box idea and adds a little more to the picture in my opinion.

Picture of a female lion yawning. Nothing special, but I thought it was pretty cool. Taken three days ago.

Nice. I like the shadows from the trees. I'd probably crop it a little closer to remove the out of focus lion at the bottom.

Yawning seems to be a popular past time amongst lionesses...

Taken on slide film in South Africa and scanned, hence the odd colors. It's not cropped, I was that close and couldn't zoom out any further! (38-110 mm zoom)

This photos tripping me out. I get a headache just looking at. Great detail in the photo, but the general content is not doing it for me.

You should change your name to Frodo, because this looks like a scene straight out of the lord of the rings. Great composition and glad to see some blue in the sky! Hope your enjoying the weather.

Nice shot :)

I'm a big fan of focus-pull type shots.

Another one from 3 years ago in france:

Mont Saint-Michele (original, I know..)
