    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Apparently these are folks that didnt want to walk on the sand, are on the edge of the pavement.

THe lighthouse and the beacon tower both have lights that flash (rotate?) at a different rate. In this picture I took the effort to get the picture when both lights were on. Oh, Man, I need to get back on the bike.

I feel your pain Dave; I'm seriously debating trying to get back on mine today but we'll see how the day goes. The ligaments/tendon (not sure which it is) on the top of my leg feels like someone is just twisting the heck out of it - much like an old style Indian Burn we used to do as kids. I can walk fine but that portion of my leg gets very tight very quickly so it makes for a soreness you wouldn't believe.

Meanwhile, I'm working on my second clock project; it's got a long way to go still. I hope I'll have it done by Columbus Day as I would like to make a ride out to Maryland to meet the Uncle this is for (never have seen him)

In my experience, no two images are ever the same, and repeatedly visiting the same location can yeild countless different results depending on conditions. These conditions also include the the mood of the photographer .

Who was that French painter who brought about twenty canvasses to his spot each day and changed them out every quarter hour because the light was changing?

Monet's Haystack series. And I know, because I've loved, and studied, his work since I was 14.

20-25 years ago, the Art Institute of Chicago had a major Monet exhibit.
Included was a large number of Haystack paintings, along with so much other goodness.
When you see several at once, it is incredible. I sat in that room, with haystacks all around me, for a couple hours.

Visiting Monet's Gardens, is very, very high on my bucket list.

One of the haystack paintings...
Wheatstacks (End of Summer) 1890-91
 
Yesterday was Granddaughter Lo's 7th Birthday party.

Here she is with a cupcake hat....go figure...

 
Dave, I dig your take on the haystack series...
Took about a 2 hour ride with my son tonight. We rode to the ice cream store, then around town. I brought the camera. I liked this shadow image. His idea to add his shadow. Interesting how the multiple lights created some ghost shadows.
A bit of a tough background as I had to work around a big ugly door.

Ha! I happened to be in Chicago that summer, my brother who lives there got us tickets.

You could get up close and see the individual brush strokes, then back away and take it all in.

One of my favorite art exhibits, along with Son of Heaven (Terra cotta warriors, etc) and Birds in Art

Redman Haystack Series (just the first four I could find, there are more)

I know, is not the same sort of "series". Are not the same place.
But, there for a moment, I could say I had the same idea as Monet.

Very good....That was a great day for me...
 
Sandy, beautiful shot as per typical. I particularly like the second one with the mountain near- ish to the camera jutting above the horizon line.

Impressive.
Imaginative!

But that is about as much as I can figure out.
