For the 30-Day Challenge — June 2011
Day Six: From a Low Angle
I think people are interpreting this challenge differently, ignoring the "angle" part; that is, they are shooting things that are low to the ground, but their cameras are pointed at it from above. Or they're just shooting low things. My interpretation is that you put your camera down low and angle it up a little. Hence the power lines in the background. OK, whatever.
BTW, I titled this because the heads look like little notes on the power-line musical staff.
You have to be a little careful wearing a short pleated skirt on a windy day (is that a wolf whistle I hear?). It does feel wonderful when the wind blows one's skirt up. I'm a bit of a joker, I hope this gives you a little smile.
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's monumental sculpture Bottle of Notes soars nearly thirty-five feet and is the first public sculpture in the United Kingdom by these two internationally renowned artists.
Bottle of Notes is inspired by the history of Captain Cook, born in Middlesbrough featuring words from his logs as well as poetry built from tempered-steel echoing Middlesbrough's industrial heritage and continuing the legacy of the town's Ironmasters.

First of the Class 254 High Speed Trains, 254001, with power car E43057 leading, opens up as it departs Doncaster for London King's Cross on 8th June 1979.
HSTs had been on the East Coast Main Line for just under a year and still provided some fascination for spotters, including this one here, although like me, he may have begun to realise the mighty Deltics' days were now numbered.
The power car is in original condition and has yet to receive the rooftop smoke deflectors which were eventually fitted to the class.

Don't let the only picture you take of an event be directly into the sun, or you may have to resort to tricks like this. Monson Bike Show and Swap Meet.
The result of an experiment one night.
More musical stuff over here. (You can also go buy this image, if you want).

Just a thank-you note after my daughter had left!
Battered table, battered chair, and handwritten note on paper torn from a memo-pad!
All very simple!
... on time.

Just a note for anyone like me that is desperately looking for some Fall color around Huntsville…
There are a few very nice trees around the edge of Madison County Lake. The mountains are still all green/brown/bronze. But there are some nice yellow, orange and reds around the shore of the lake.
