Very nice Scott; I like the way the clouds seem to stay inline even in the mirror

Love it Bob. Very well done.
That is nice.
Scott, i like how you were able to get some lighting on a part of the waterwheel that I would expect to be in shadow.

I've been in somewhat of a slump lately. I've checked out a few new spots, but nothing great. The time change has made it tough for after work pics. I went out today and tried some more.
Not much good today either, but I did get a couple of keepers.

Random photo...of a painting
Random photo...of a painting
Here's a painting one of our kids did for my wife many years ago. I finally made a frame for it using some funky boards from a pallet.
The boards must have been stacked together in the weather since the mineral stains are the same on each board. I tried to get a mirror image in the frame. Wife's happy, so I'm happy. haha
Here's how the joints stay together.

Today was a really nasty looking cloudy day but I'm thrilled this female Downy Woodpecker gave me time for small photo shoot

Went for an outing a couple of days ago to look for these old bread ovens used by the work crews in the late 1800's when the railway was being built here. At over 120 years old they were in amazing condition. There are several in the area that are way more accessible and have fallen into considerable disrepair over the years. Luckily these are quite hidden in a fairly thick forested area with no trails to them so only a few know where they are. If one didn't see the opening you would just think it was a pile of rocks

Interesting, Sandy.
Was going to ask about the illumination of the interior shot, but then see what looks like the shadows from the camera strobe.
Did that feel strange to go into there? (Did when I stepped into old brick kilns. Especially when others there are collapsed.)
No, I didn't go in. Just stuck the camera through the door and shot. Maybe next time.
I've been reviewing recent work the last two evenings. This was from my moto / photo outing last week.

This is from earlier this fall. I keep going back to it. I pitched a stone into the water to make the ripples. I think it gives an otherwise very static shot some movement. I also tweaked the contrast up significantly in the iphone edit tools. (Pic taken with the digital camera and sent to the phone for sharing, etc).

Rail lines for moving armaments or ammunition I suppose.
Same place as this pic of yours, I suspect.

Yep, that's the place. After stopping there last week it's on my list for further exploration.
Lots of interesting photo ops. Nature, history, ruins, etc. It a 4 ish mile long peninsula with the ocean on one side and the bay on the other.

Saw some relics from the past while riding in Neighboring County yesterday.

What is that, about a '72 Stang?
That's the big one. 71 was the first year for that bodystyle.
