The side of the University of Puerto Rico's house in the 2009 Solar Decathlon in the National Mall, Washington, DC.
Inspired by the wonderful glass work of Karen_Chappell.
(My daughter-in-laws glasses. Taken on a kitchen counter without my studio lights as I am away from home, so not as crisp as I would have liked. But I loved the variety in these glasses anyway.)

Dispite what the US Postal Office may infer with their recent postage stamp issue, this is the longest covered bridge in America, North, South or Central. In fact at 1280ft., it is the longest covered bridge in the world! And it can be found in Hartland New Brunswick.
Thanks to my brother John (Something.in.my.eye) for reworking this picture and making some real improvements. This is a great version John. Thanks.
Count partials, please.
If anyone can read the cryptic cursive message scrawled across the center of this picture, please post a translation here.
Hundreds of thousands of these flags were distributed for free. Unfortunately they made excellent devices for:
1) Confusing the Auto Focus on cameras
2) Blocking a shot as you are about to take it
3) Poking you on the side as people walked by
OK, so this is for a counting game that has been stalled on 116 for 20 months now. 116 seems like an ignominious number for the group to die on. (Apologies if someone likes 116 better than i do.) 117 is not a lot better, but 121 is not far away. Does anyone out there have a 118 to keep us bumping along toward a higher-class final resting place?
alternatively, can anyone add to this list of the minor virtues of 117?
it's 9*13 (approaching square);
it splits into lucky 11 and lucky 7;
1+1+7 (small dots) = 9 (big dots);
element 117 can be made from berkelium-249 and calcium-48 -- BC, get it;
...
you all can improve on those lame virtues, i'm sure. mag?anyone?

Seems to be all I have at the moment. Count the ones showing enough to grab onto, not the little tinies just barely showing through.
Canadian National's 4-8-4 Northern Class heading up a fan trip from Montreal to Ottawa, stopped on the main line for a photo opp.
Oh, drat, Eva says this is not FORTY THREE pipe weights used for sinking fishing nets, and I have to agree.
Yesterday there was no sunshine available around here to get a shadow shot, at least when I was available to get a picture. Today is a different matter and I went looking for an unusual shadow subject. This is the wall of the local Bell Canada building a few blocks from my hoem, and the shadows cast an interesting pattern on the wall. So here is my Official entry for the shadow challenge. Something I created for the challenge.
This is not a black & white image, and has not bee adjusted to eliminate the colour of the wall. The adjustments that have been made are to correct the perspective, (because I didn't keep the camera parallel to the wall) and some attention to the lighting/contrast.
The Banco Popular building is one of the tallest buildings in Old San Juan. Its Art Deco styling gives it a distinctive look as it is surrounded by traditional Spanish colonial architecture.
THIRTY SEVEN pottery pieces on display. I'm counting the saucers on the bottom shelf as separate pieces.
CIENTO DOS líneas textos de productos en Español -- but only 101 in English. Reconciliation is harder than you might think.
TWENTY THREE pairs of reading glasses. Don't be distracted by the sunglasses -- they are not for reading.
I know from personal experience that this is hard to count, even in original size. If you don't like it, let me know; I've got others.
A drop of red wine hits the water and splashed right back. I can't seem to get the exposure right on this one, hence the dark/gray look.

Seen at the Burl's Creek Automotive Flea Market yesterday, I was working for the Stayner Lions Club, selling tickets on our 1967 Chevrolet Pick-up truck when aircraft attending the air show at Base Borden started flying overhead to land at the local airport in Oro, Ontario. This was the snowbirds' first pass over the airport, After the fly over, they returned in a line and peeled off in order to land.
