Storms brewing over the Atlantic Ocean off Fort Lauderdale Beach made for a fantastic light show courtesy of Mother Nature :)

A gift of figs from my elderly neighbour's tree in Crete, Greece:

Crops in central California. I don't miss living in Los Angeles.

A glass vase displays a colorful bouquet of floral favorites from my garden, including cosmos and lady's mantle. A French country postage texture compliments the image.

1949 Red Ford F1 Pickup Truck

I'm presently uploading some of my Black-eyed Susan Series. This is one of them!
Oops! I see I named it brown eyed instead. We always called them that; will correct the other ones, but this one stays as is.
Outa be good for the flora scientific people to jump on...
Wonder if that's classified as artistic license!?!

I wasn't sure if the picture had to have been made in August or just uploaded.

This is St Mary's Shell, I had perfect condition the evening I made it. Super calm water and clear skies. Taken about 20 minutes after the sun had set hence the lovely purple tones.

View to Caribbean sea from the beach.

Up close and personal with a train engine in oranges and blacks.

Beautiful mountain lake near Mt.Baker ski area, North Cascades.

Paris - France

Sunset with the sun peeking through

I just came back from a few days of R&R at this magic place. Holbox, Mexico. Every single day, sunsets were truly amazing.

Trail in North Cascades:

A view towards Locust Point in Baltimore MD, where the Zuni Tamaroa is docked and the Domino Sugars plant is in the background.

Here are a couple of pieces great for any man cave! The first is a headlight capture of a yellow 55 Corvette Roadster. The other is of an air filter / air intake from a hot rod.

Well, it's pouring rain again today - but this morning was fairly nice, sun and a few clouds. We stopped on the road to take these photo's of Long Horn cattle. I need to go back and get a photo of the big, and I mean big, red bull that came an put this long horn in it's place. I did get my feet wet though - the ditch between me and the fence may have looked dry - but there was a couple of inches of water hidden under the grass.

Two of the six that I uploaded from a trip to the Indian Peaks Wilderness in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, on Monday. A wildflower and mountain landscape, as well as an Indian Paintbrush macro.

An image of a pair of windows on a brick wall with iron bars and the glass panes broken. In this version, I added a texture to the brick wall and removed parts to create an effect of the exterior pealing away to reveal the brick beneath.

This is one of those color combinations that make me go yummm.

Not many flowers out in the woods, but lots of these"

My nemesis and my fascination.

upper part of Berlin Central Station and ...



... the underground part :

Last Saturday, a buddy and me stopped at an old depot in McBee, SC. The depot is situated where it is hard to shoot, but I did get this shot



There is also an old caboose on property. The line was once Seaboard Air Line, who built the depot. Only thing about tis caboose is that it was an old Atlantic Coast Line caboose. The ACL and SAL were fierce competitors for many years.

Rudi,

Great shots of the Berlin train station. I'd love to go there!
