It's a card game that can be a lot of fun with the right group. Anyone ever played cards against humanity? That one can be fun too, with the right group. It can also be incredibly awkward. Played it once with my son and his girlfriend, my wife and her sister. Never again. I can't even mention the awful things my son's girlfriend (a real sweetheart that the whole family loves) was forced to read from a card, to me. Awkward just doesn't cover it. And Who are you calling a Millennial?lol

I had grandpa duty tonight and stopped by a windmill on the way home to see if I could get a picture of the moon and clouds. Kinda funny, the kids got soaked riding home from their volleyball game but there wasn't a drop on my ride.

Ain't much of a picture but it was pretty cool looking in person.

many that are quite impressive that i could comment on, but will mention bob baatfam and glen dorkburger

and vote for mr roger burque, whos picture was quite striking.
 
Lightening, rainbows, sunsets, and more....Great theme...great photos...
Several stunning "phenomenal" events...

But one stands out to me, because of it's wonderful composition.
Rich, I don't know if it is formal training, years of experience, born talent, or just luck, but this is not the first time your photo composition has impressed the heck out me.

Aside from the rainbows, (which are hard enough to shoot on their own), the wonderful light, and fantastic color, look at all those leading lines.

Every line takes you into the photo. The bike, which has plenty of room in front of it, is nestled in the bottom right third, pointing at the unseen destination, (past the far end of the road), in the left third. The right side of the road is a direct line from the bike to that destination, with the bike sitting right on that line. Even the overhead wires lead right to the destination. And the rainbow? That just tops things off, starting at the bike, and wrapping up and around to the destination, keeping your eyes stuck in the picture.

Beautiful. Print it, frame it, hang it. I could go on....;)

So I guess my vote goes to Rich82GS750TZ

Thanks so much for the compliments. I studied photography at New England School of Photography in Boston in the late '90s. Sadly, NESOP will close after the current class finishes. Worked as a freelance photog for a few years while managing a photo lab, and as a dedicated wedding photog for a year after we moved to PA. I absolutely hated that and gave it up professionally. Sold all of my film gear too late and took a huge loss. I think I always had an artistic hand and eye. Prior to NESOP, I studied architecture for few years, probably where my sense of space and proportion come from. My wife teaches middle school art. One of her favorite lessons for her kids is single and two point perspective drawing. For the rainbow pic, in particular, I was editing it for color saturation (which I usually only do sparingly, but it's pretty heavy in this pic), and I was starting to attempt to remove the power lines and poles. She happened to see what I was doing and convinced me to leave them. She was right, of course (don't tell her I said that).
 
It's rare enough to get a good pic of a rainbow, even a complete arch. A double rainbow and both are complete is really neat to see.
Rich for me this week.
