Awesome R8 in Edgecliff, I loved how it stood out from the other traffic, let me know what you think of the shot and editing
Discover a standout piece of San Francisco’s architectural landscape at Sunset Co-op Nursery School. This modern building, with its vibrant yellow exterior and expansive glass windows, exemplifies the city’s blend of contemporary design and historic charm. Situated at a bustling street corner, the school’s bold color and sleek lines create a striking contrast against the traditional residential backdrop. This structure not only serves as an educational institution but also as a symbol of the community’s forward-thinking spirit. Its flat roofline and clean angles offer a refreshing departure from the classic Victorian and Edwardian styles that dominate the area. Perfectly capturing the eclectic essence of San Francisco, this building is a must-see for architecture enthusiasts and locals alike.
These are not standout photos of mine. They were taken many years ago, probably about 2003 to document the fact that I hand-raised a little dove that we called Duck. My grand daughter Tamika named him that and I have often wondered if that caused any identity problems for him lol.
I kept him for a very long time and one day quite by accident he got out of his cage and flew away. He never looked back .... the ungrateful thing.
Actually he never really left. He stayed close by and came to feed at my frontyard feeder with the rest of the birds that come daily. Eventually he found a mate and brought her along too and then one day he turned up with his partner and 2 baby doves. I was so HAPPY. I'm sure duck has passed on now but I still have his descendants come very day to eat at our feeder which is a constant reminder of a gorgeous little pet.
Another from Saturday morning's fantastic sunrise and featuring the spectacular "melted" white rocks that are scattered along this stretch of industrial coastline.
White rocks are a godsend to photographers. All of a sudden most of the problems of balancing the strong sunrise with the dark shadows on the far edge of a dark rock disappear, and you are free to focus on composition. With a strong foreground element like this one, I decided to exclude everything else and leave it as a sole point of focus for the image.

Easy to find
It’s hard to hide in this kimono. It’s large and in charge.
No rest for the wicked. I returned from travel to assist with a conference with 100+ attendees. If the event coordinators needed to find me, I was easily spotted in this ensemble. This kimono stands out in a crowd.

Standout car in this scene is the black Morris Minor LRX273. DVLA says it was a 1955 model, last on the road in 1993. It would be nice to think it was stored somewhere, but maybe all those years of daily driver use finally took their toll?
Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, another Subaru estate and a Mitsubishi L300 van of most interest to me.

Tywappity Lake Trail
Scott County Missouri USA
When I started this hike I wasn't going to take my camera. Sometimes I just like walking in the woods, and let my mind wonder, without contemplating on what would be a good photo, as I often do when I have my camera in tow. However when I started my hike and observed the water, how smooth it was, how calm the forest was on this beautiful autumn evening, I went back and got my camera, knowing that I would find ample subjects with little or not thought.
This lone tree that was turning ahead of the rest really caught my eye. Colors are most noticeable when the background does not compete. The yellows in these leaves would not be near as impressive if the surrounding trees did not provide contrast to these bright hues. The background is green and muted and there appears to be a slight mist in the upper part of the image.
The foreground is supplemented by a branch sticking out of the water. This partially submerged branch is important for the composition, because it breaks up almost perfect reflection on this very calm evening. This little imperfection adds interest to the image.
If you want to go far in life, follow this cloud's example!

I could not miss her, because she was sitting in the row on the edge of the aisle, and right below me - but I am sure there were many I missed, or did not get a good look at!

Maybe I didn't convey the situation on this one very well. It looks abandoned and in lots of disrepair. However, there are people living in it, and it is not scheduled for any renovations that I know of. I didn't put it on the Abandoned groups because it doesn't appear to be. I think it could be an absolute standout home if someone did a lot of work on it, a really valuable asset to the historical part of Corvallis; however, I don't see that happening. It isn't up to me to advise or tell people what they should do with their home.
This home is in Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon USA. I purposely did not put it on my *map* nor give the street address.
The photo of the very old school house that I posted recently does look like it is being restored. That gives me faith.
When I was in Hillsboro, Texas I saw many homes that used to be very stately; and now they are just going to ruin. Sad, but it happens.
