A woman sits on a stone bench and checks her phone at night, Madrid.
We were in Madrid this past December. One reason for going at this time of year was that our previous visit was during the torrid month of August — and we vowed not to do that again! And generally we expected that things would be calmer with no crowds of summer tourists. But, as we discovered, Madrid goes crazy right before Christmas. Thousands of people crowd the streets, though this crowd has far fewer foreign tourists. And yet, I made this quiet photograph of a solitary person in a place that was directly adjacent to the hubbub.
We had been out on a walk and a visit to some interesting places to eat and drink earlier in the evening. If I recall correctly, we were now starting to loop back toward our hotel when we walked up this side street and I found this fascinating brick wall covered with posters and a tangle of wires. Perhaps the woman in the photograph had also sought a bit of refuge from the crowds on this quiet street?

A lone Lobster fishing boat out checking pots at Somes Sound, Mount Desert Island ( Acadia National Park ) Maine. Taken from a cliff on Acadia Mountain.
Somes Sound is unique in that it is considered to be the only fjord on the East Coast, practically splitting the island in two. Lacking the extreme vertical reliefs associated with Norweigian fjords, it is technically considered a fjard (an inlet formed by the marine submergence of formerly glaciated valleys within a rocky glaciated terrain of low relief).
For anyone interested, the Acadia Mountain Trail is a wonderful trail that passes through fine boreal forests of Cedar and Spruce, then broad open ledges of glacial scarred pink granite with stands of gnarled Pitch Pine and the bonsaied Banksiana (Jack) Pine. The pitch down towards Somes Sound and Valley Cove is quite steep and ledgy but offers dramatic views well worth the effort!
it had been a long time since i saw a check point at this place, so this one came as a big surprise and a great opportunity for a photoshoot. with permission, so as not to antagonise anyone, i took these series of shots. due to recent incidents involving radicals and terrorist attacks, this check point was organized to control their harmful activities . it could be an inconvenience but for the safety and security of the peacful citizens, it is , in my opinion, as long as it is properly organized and implemented, necessary to have regular check points

I was working my way through a marsh to get to the edge of the lake when I saw this guy watching me. I had to shoot through a lot of small trees and bushes but was able to get a picture before he took off.
For those who don't get it, most of the states here in the US require all vehicle owners to pass a smog check/test.
Thanks to the person who parked a magenta-coloured panel van across the street from some white-blossomed cherry trees a while back -- you made my day.
This sign is always a fun place to take pictures; I'm thinking that I need to pick up a fast prime one of these days so I can get some creamy, out of focus backgrounds.
I don't usually give shout outs, but I felt it was necessary in this case. BuiltWithBricks has some really great customs and he's only been on flickr for a month. As of typing he's only got 46 followers. Lets get him to 100 by the end of the day. Go give him a follow!

This Western Scrub-Jay had no objection to me photographing him while he hunted and consumed acorns. But at one point he stopped and gave me a good look over to see if I was a problem or not and then went back to what he was doing; hunting and eating acorns.
I looked for them again this morning but they had not shown yet.
I spent December in Thailand.
This is one of the family dogs. He is an impressive watchdog, not the one you want running after you......
A bit of walking may cause hold-up stockings to slide down a little, so I'd better check if my stocking tops are still aligned well. I'm looking to see if there's anybody around and I seem to be on my own. Great, then I can safely lift my skirt a bit for a stocking check. Due to my frilly skirt I can't see my stocking tops very well though, so maybe you can help to check my stockings? Are they alright or do they need adjusting? And if needed can you please help to carefully pull the stocking tops a bit upwards...
