PS-It's exciting to note that this image had the "honor" of being chosen by flickr as an "EXPLORED" image- what is EXPLORE ??
Explore is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute --
That's about 8.6 million photos a day!
From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm selects only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period.
That's only one image in every 17,000!
Pretty Cool - huh?

I never thought much about rodeos until I went to one and had a chance to shoot it. I came to appreciate an entire culture and way of life I knew nothing about, and a contest of man vs animal that has been played out for many generations. This is a bull rider, generally accepted as the craziest of them all, less than half a second into what he hopes will be his 8 second ride. The bull, for his part, hopes to see to it that he does not make the 8 second mark. His opening moves are strong. We’ll see who gets his way. Eight seconds is a long time on a bull.
Had an amazing weekend away with the Focus committee down at Narooma. This is one of the new locations we went to.

Idaho's Initial Point is a volcanic butte rising from the western Snake River Plain. Beginning on April 19, 1867, surveyors mapped the entire state starting from this butte. Every piece of land in the state is referenced by its direction and distance from a brass survey marker located on top of the butte.

I decided to look at my digital archives, to recover and reprocess some old straight-out-of the point and shoot camera jpgs.
I'll post one picture every thursday, with the motto "Great places, bad cameras"

Ho deciso di dare un'occhiata nei miei archivi digitali, recuperando e rielaborando vecchie foto dei miei viaggi riprese con fotocamere "Point and shoot".
Cercherò di postarne una ogni giovedì, all'insegna del motto "Great places, bad cameras"
It's fascinating how the point of view affects the things you see. This monument is actually about one meter (~3 feet) tall and is located in a park Hanhipuisto in Pori, Finland. Looking at things from a different perspective doesn't apply only to photography but also to life itself.
Sospeso tra cielo e abissi, il Dead Horse Point State Park domina il fiume Colorado come un balcone sull’infinito. Qui il vento racconta una leggenda amara: quella dei cavalli selvaggi lasciati intrappolati dai cowboy su questa lingua di roccia, destinati a morire di sete mentre l’acqua scorreva beffarda centinaia di metri più in basso.
Oggi resta il silenzio, immenso e solenne, rotto solo dai colori sempre infuocati che trasformano la valle in un dipinto vivo. Un luogo dove la bellezza è così potente da lasciare senza parole… e la storia così dura da non farsi dimenticare.
Suspended between the sky and the abyss, Dead Horse Point State Park overlooks the Colorado River like a balcony overlooking infinity. Here, the wind tells a bitter legend: that of the wild horses left trapped by cowboys on this rocky spit, destined to die of thirst while the water rushed mockingly hundreds of feet below.
Today, silence remains, immense and solemn, broken only by the ever-fiery colors that transform the valley into a living painting. A place where beauty is so powerful it leaves you speechless... and history so harsh it will never be forgotten.
Street photography continued.
One day there was a parade of Fiat 126p cars. The one shown here is painted appropriately to commemorate August 1, 1944. This is the date of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising.
I am adding a link if any of you would like to know this story card.

My motivation to take a quick shot was also the surroundings. I hope you will like this photo as well.
For those of you that follow my posts, you've already seen a photo close to this taken with my iPhone. This is a similar shot taken with my T5i.

Sunderland Point, a hamlet of 20 or so houses on a tidal spit at the mouth of the River Lune, Lancashire. It was once a thriving fishing village but now there are just a few boats left operating. 'Jayne' LR448 was built in 1978 and was registered as a potter, but was de-registered in 2018. In the background is Samyork LR205 built in 1991, registered as a netter-trawler and is still fishing.

I bet you £5 (29 SR) that this guy was taking a picture of a flying bird :) .. you better call the bet 'cause I saw him taking the picture :P
Enjoy -.-
Rattlesnake Point receives its name from the snake-like path cut by glaciers along the edges of the Niagara Escarpment, rather than from the Massassauga Rattlesnake. It is one of the most scenic areas between Toronto and Hamilton, with old cedars, limestone cliffs, beautiful caves, and hiking trails. It is a United Nations Biosphere-protected area.
