Fall sunsets are often lovely in South Carolina. After a stressful election season, tonight's sunset seemed like a celebration of peaceful voting.
I happened to be staying in our nation's capital on the day of our national election and fog was forecast.... and fog it was.... except in this location. Commonwealth Avenue bridges leading to parliament house and the flag on top. Forgot to bring my filters so the foreground water is sharp but with the fog dissipated the balloon had just taken off which made up for it. Bit of a rush as the balloon was starting to move quickly but I just managed this one before 24mm was not wide enough. Ended up a nice balance I think.
Palomino Valley in Washoe County, Nevada. I wonder how long it will be after the election before this election sign is taken dow. There were places with over 20 election signs in a row at some crossroads.

It is such a lovely day, spring!
(Looks like a good turnout this election, probably 80%)

I'm torn between continuing to scream out the frustration and pain, or whether I should just shut up and try to post beautiful pictures. I try to look away and concentrate on my little world. But as I know myself, it will still burst out of me from time to time. Thank you for tolerating my opinion on this election and on the overall development of our world.
This truck had a UAW Kerry sticker on the driver's side and a Bush sticker on the passenger side. Couldn't get close enough to get a clearer picture.
It'll be interesting to see what smart aleck comments show up on this one.
56094 comes off the Strood (Medway Valley) line at Paddock Wood with 6Y86 1330 Halling Colas to Hoo Junction Up Yard departmental working conveying new concrete sleepers. Not only UK election day but American Independence Day, we're going left it seems while all around turn to the right!! The main line here has certainly seen a decline in importance in recent years, Eurostars used this route until HS1 opened and prior to that London Victoria-Dover/Folkestone boat trains plied these metals. These days it's not much better than a half hourly interval local service southeast of Tonbridge.

Picture taken only 8 hours before general elections in Albania on 28th June 2009. Let's hope Elections will not go this way :P :)
Taken with a manual zoom in difficult light situation (could not see the viewfinder).
I have taken like 30 of these in order to take the lamps! And I got lucky, 3 in the same shoot time :)

P.S. And I swear! No HDR!!
I did not vote in this by-election. It was my way of protesting Liberal party and their way of mis-spending our precious tax dollars, in project fiasco like E-health. Also the HST proposal, which, I do not thing will create more jobs at all. In last election less than 2 years ago. I voted for George Smitherman. He won by a landslide of margin. People had high hope of him to make a difference. In return, he did not stick around at all. He was eyeing for a bigger position -- the Toronto mayor seat.
I could've voted for either NDP or Tory. But these candidates and their supporters (including Liberal) were pestering me everyday. They were outside subway entrances, in my apartment building at dinner hour, knocking on doors and littering a trail of flyers as they go from floor to floor. It was pretty disgusting.
In the end. Liberal has won again and it has some cleaning up to do. Not only its image. But first it has to clean up the streets!
I could tell it was election time in Canada and Ontario.
Had a rafter of 7 turkeys show up in the yard today.
Not sure which political party they represented but they all fed off the corn that was out for the little birds.

A Moussavi supporter was injured in a demonstration. Witnesses reported that at least one person had been shot dead in clashes with the police in Vanak Square in Tehran.
Tehran’s streets erupted in the most intense protests in a decade as the police clashed with demonstrators who claimed that former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had stolen the election.

At the end of the election, families and friends gathered in a restaurant next to a temple to watch the results come in on the TV. Was almost like watching soccer match.
A poster encouraging people to vote in Israel’s 2022 General Election. The slogan says “If you don’t wake up, a surprise awaits you in the morning. On 1 November go out to vote for what’s important to you.” A shocked man is in bed next to the smiling features of the leader of Israel’s religious-right, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
This poster is in Nazareth, an almost entirely Arab city, and was presumably aimed at countering what had traditionally been low turnout among Arabs in Israel’s elections. 2022, however, like most recent elections, saw high Arab voter participation, and Ben-Gvir entered government anyway.
Today (sunday) has been Election day here in Sweden and I have been voting and up following the results which are very even, so it is hard to tell what our government will look like.
Check out this short article and see why:

I was on a brake between assignments with the railroad. There was a roll of film that had a few shots left so I decided to grab the camera and take a walk from Union Station, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the The Ellipse, just out side of the south lawn of The White House. I wanted to document the mood during this important day in our nations capitol.
