An iPhone shot of Waterloo station, London, using the Fjorden grip.
I was taken by the two different levels separated by the hand rail, and the geometric shapes, plus
the fairly minimalistic nature of the scene, given that it’s probably very busy at other times.
The two guys walking at right angles to one another also caught my eye.

Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !
A magical landscape of slate covered hills from the former quarry, alive with Foxgloves and Navelwort.
My child self still plays here
This Monarch butterfly came and went from all the volunteer Swamp milkweed plants in the garden several times. I tried to get close with the macro lens and she was having none of it. The big glass worked best with me keeping in the shadow of the patio roof and shooting into the milkweeds around the pond.
I wonder if this is as disorienting to everyone as it is to me to look at. I took the image, and I have rotated it in a certain manner. I wonder if the sort of weird feeling I get when looking at it has to do with my knowledge of the image's proper orientation, or if it visually does that to the viewer even without knowing the proper orientation.
Don't get me wrong, after much internal debate, I find the current rotation makes the greatest visual impact and is the best for this image, but then again I keep getting a little dizzy every time I look at it, so perhaps I'm way off base!! :-)))))
More from 'that walk'. I think animals "trimmed" that tree so neatly. Otherwise the branches would reach down to the ground I think 🌲

The side of a local eatery.....the challenge this time was to group a portrait shot, a square shot and a landscape version of the same subject.
