I really have trouble giving this one a name. This one caught my eye even it is not in focus. The out of focus factor is kind of cool in my opinion. I just took this one of my daughter this morning when I was driving her to school.

eek...things look off here....studio photography....not my strong suit.......
If you squint hard enough, or dream big enough, that black and orange Gevo could pass for a Milwaukee Road train out of Tacoma headed for Chicago. In reality, it's BNSF and the is the LAUNTW from Laurel, MT, to Minneapolis, MN. Railroad name notwithstanding, the scenery is beautiful and the small towns friendly. I enjoy South Dakota.
My name is Michael Palledorous, but my friends call me 'Squints" "For-Ev-Er"

i know the light's a bit harsh, but is it possible the x-rays have made this film unable to render true greens? the lawn looks a bit off color.
Most farmers in Melrakkaslétta, NE-Iceland, put up flags to let the eider know where it is safe to lay nests, some put up scarecrows to fend off birds so the eider can lay it's eggs in peace.
This farmer had put up a chair, a few feet away was a "dead" scarecrow, staring with no eyes up at the sky.
At least that lonely, and now late, scarecrow got front row seats to the north Atlantic ocean.
-and if it had squinted (if it had eyes...) then it might see the coast of the arctic.
Perhaps skua and other predatory birds hate the color of lime green?
I used this shot for a "coming soon" announcement on my web page:
I am working on the page, always changing my mind though.....which makes it bloody difficult to finalise.

Sometimes you see things looking familiar - as here a building staring at me. No one lives in this house - it’s in use as a water plant.

I thought I was being the king of stealth when I snuck up incredibly close to this American goldfinch. Turns out he just had avian conjunctivitis. He seemed to have no issues feeding, which is good, but he clearly was unable to see me, even though I was about an arm's-length away. Kinda sad, but oh well I guess.
The Sun goes down and the young sliver of the Moon lights up the sky and so do the electrical storms dances in and around out atmosphere. I am sketchy on the science, I am oils and tones on these offerings. My camera was set to create an auto white balance and it did. The camera did follow the workings of the system it has, but it was not an accurate representation of the sight seen by my eyes. The initial colours and intensity of the image would look similar to how the scene could be seen when squinting your eyes. The colours and intensity given in these edits has been increased for a visual effect. Astronomy does use many filters and settings to see through some reflective gases and dust clouds and colours are sometimes generated to better distinguish the elements within an image. Here there is no science and no exact setting, here there is feeling and enjoying that is now delivered in this sharing. The original picture was edited into the style of an oil painting. I pushed myself too hard last night and today I am bits and pieces so I am might either revise, or completely redo these images. They are artistic representations of last night initially generated as a photograph and then altered and style into digital versions of oil paintings.
I am going off to collapse again into a sleep deeper than the dancing portals opening and closing in the sky last night. I do not know which decade I will wake back up in. It is often the 1980s and it takes a strange while to return to contemporary reality around me.

I watched this Yellow-crowned Night Heron squint in the early morning light as it searched for an easy meal. Chassahowitzka, Florida.
I was driving by 2 Mile Landing the other day and decided to stop real quick to see if anything was poking around in the marshland off the side of the road.
It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and so bright out it was tough to make out anything moving at all out on the mudflats and in the reeds. I stood there for about 5 minutes, squinting into the landscape without seeing a thing.
It was only when I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye, I realized this killdeer was only standing a couple of yards away. I could hardly see him through the glare but managed to get a few pics of him.
You’re looking at a 1938 Cadillac 75 2-Door Convertible which just about didn’t make it off the drawing boards, as far as this composite goes. Both, the picture of the large barn-like structure in the background and the picture of this ’38 Caddy were recorded at the Grand Experience classic auto show at the Gilmore Museum in 2014 ……….but at different times, different locations and under slightly different lighting condition. The “time and place” posed no particular problem but the lighting conditions were the challenge which, quite frankly, I believe I have not fully overcome. Shadow, shadow……everywhere a shadow,
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you do the shadow?
I told myself I would never attempt to place a car into a mixed lighting area (part sunlight, part in shadow) but as you see I did and although I attempted using about fifty different mixed shadow effects (as reflected on a portion of the car’s body by the tree on the far right), nothing looked right or believable. At somewhere around fifty, I threw up my hands and said - well, you don’t really want to hear what I said so let’s just say, I was at my wits end. I am sure if one looks at this scene critically, one will spot the inconsistencies, so don’t look at this scene critically. Just squint your eyes and imagine that everything in the picture is hunky-dory.
I believe the following, which was obtained from the conceptcarz web site pertains to ‘this particular car’ but without having the chassis number, I can’t be positive. Here is what conceptcarz/Daniel Vaughn writes I believe about, this car.
Coachwork: Fleetwood
Chassis Num: 3271250
High bid of $65,000 at 2008 RM Sothebys. (did not sell)
For 1938, Cadillac moved the headlamps into the front fenders for the up-market Series 65 and Fleetwood Series 75 models. The bodies became more curvaceous than that of the prior models, particularly from the rear. Optional dual sidemounts covers were hinged to the fenders. Quarter windows were sliding rather than hinged construction. Technical innovations for 1938 included column shift, a transverse muffler just behind the fuel tank, new wheels, a hypoid rear axle, horns hidden behind the grille, and a Synchro-Flex flywheel.
The Series 75 was given an increase in compression which lifted horsepower to 140. * Sporty looking but certainly not a speed demon.
This particular example wears an older restoration and painted in a soft yellow color. There are wide whitewall tires, a tan cloth top and refinished chrome accents. The interior upholstery is dark brown leather, and the dashboard is dark chocolate brown.
In 2008 this 1938 Cadillac Series 75 Convertible Coupe was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $75,000-$100,000. A high bid of $65,000 failed to satisfy the reserve and the car was left unsold.

PS: I know who the current owner is and where he lives but I would rather not say under this format. Actually, it’s immaterial since I know that I don’t! (own it, that is ;)
Hope ya’all enjoy…………………..
I spent hours rotating this one and couldn't get is straight. I think I see why now - I missed the real horizon. I am too lazy to go back and fix it.
I only ever post shots I like but quite often I don't know why I find them attractive. This is one of those. So if you have the time, I'd be really grateful for your completely honest views.
I've changed the original to black and white, cropped it to square and added a small vignette. Otherwise, it - including the squint horizon - is what came out of the camera.
If you have a moment, please take a look at tartalom's great work in this new gallery.
