Hologram on a Canadian $20 bill - the colors and the lettering emerge when the light hits the hologram at just the right angle.

One of my test shots with the 800mm. From my exif data, you can see my settings. I wanted to get an idea of how noisy a photo would be if I lowered the ISO a bit, in this case, down to 1250 and I cropped in really close on this photo and there is virtually no noise visible, at least to these old eyes on my large computer screen.
Still greatly limited by the fixed f11. Someone yesterday commented that I seem to have a love/hate relationship with this lens. Well, lets just say I'm glad I didn't pay thousands of dollars for it, LOL. But again, in the right conditions, it's fine.
Dollar Lake is a natural lake at about 10,000 feet in the West Elk Mountains. I could see trout in the shallow water in the foreground.

Happy Sliders Sunday!
We have some "silver dollar" plants growing on the side of our house so I cut some and put them in a vase. Not sure how common these are. They were here when we purchased the house and they come up every year.
Dollar Glen has deep gorges, cascading waterfalls, Castle Campbell and woodland walks in the Ochil Hills.

Fascinating is the plant that can visually hook gardeners, not with fancy foliage nor flashy flowers, but rather dried seed pods—those faded leftovers of a glorious growing season. Well, welcome to the strangely fascinating world of lunaria (Lunaria annua) also known as silver dollar plant or money plant because of the round, parchment-like seed casings it produces in late summer that have the shimmer of freshly minted silver coins.
ON/OFF - Thank you very much for visiting and commenting! Really appreciated!

Y'know, I wanted bigger seas, more clouds, fewer footprints in the sand, a higher tide ... then there was no room at the nearby inn for dinner so we had to settle for fish & chips beside the harbour in Porthleven ... what a wasted evening! 😠
Dollar Cove, near Gunwalloe on Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula, is a small but picturesque beach with rocky cliffs and golden sand. It is famous for its shipwreck history and the legend behind its name. The cove is said to be named after the Spanish treasure coins that occasionally wash ashore, believed to be from a 17th-century shipwreck. The San Salvador, a Spanish galleon, reportedly sank nearby, spilling silver dollars into the sea. Even today, beachcombers occasionally find old coins. The rugged beauty, fascinating history, and connection to lost treasure make Dollar Cove a captivating spot for visitors and explorers.
They are now hanging in my garden...
Thank you for looking and for your faves, I really appreciate you all... and I'm sorry to be posting so much... just trying to clear out my folder!!
Enjoy the day and the rest of the week!!
Abrams Peak and Uncompahgre Gorge, U.S. Route 550, Million Dollar Highway, Ouray, Colorado
If you want autumn colors, incredible views, and some fun driving then you cannot go wrong with the Million Dollar Highway in the San Juan Mountains in early October. Uncompahgre Gorge, along with the scenic nearby mountain town of Ouray, is known as "The Switzerland of America". The changing aspen foliage here in autumn is truly lovely, so driving the highway in late September to early October is an important factor.
The Million Dollar Highway has a reputation for both great beauty and, for America anyway, hazardous driving. This is exaggerated certainly; in clear weather and maintaining the speed limits, it is fully safe as long as you can keep your eyes on the road. But I would not drive it during inclement weather, especially storms - sudden waterfalls appear and wash across the road, which in most places does not have guardrails (enabling fast snow removal during winter).
This is from Bear Creek Falls viewpoint, just South of Ouray. I highly recommend this dizzying stop. Standing on the platform, this view is in front of you; look extreme left and down and the bridal veil-like Bear Creek Falls is almost directly below you. Not recommended though for those folks who have vertigo...

A testa rossa (redhead, and yes, even before Enzo coined the name there were testa rossas) absorbing a 1951 "bullet nosed" Studebaker, and not sure what to make of it! Her thoughts might be, "...weird, but maybe in a nice way, yes, weird! I kinda like it. I think!"
And I think that's how many would have felt about the late forties and early fifties Studebakers back then. The designs were met with a mixed reception and definitely a mixed audience of lovers, and haters, and probably little middle ground. The design of the late forties / early fifties Studebakers included both the Starlite Coupes and the later bullet nosed models, and they came from the pen of Robert Bourke. Bourke had started with Studebaker as part of the design team in 1940 earning $75 dollars a week. The team was led by Raymond Loewy during the 1940s, and Loewy had a talented team working on Studebaker designs, including Bourke, Vince Gardner and, Gordon Buehrig (who was responsible for the great-looking Cord models), and Virgil Exner, (Exner later went on to work for Chrysler Corp and was responsible for their "Forward Look" designs of the fifties and beyond)

Took this shot, while sitting on the dock of a friends house, overlooking the Rideau River. Across the river is where the rich live, as you can see this huge house in construction is worth over one million dollars!
Unparalleled views reward you from the Last Dollar Road as you descend down the mountain. The Last Dollar Road winds through valleys surrounded by jagged peaks and deep-blue skies and each bend delivers jaw-dropping scenery. At one turn you’ll find a cathedral of sun-bathed aspens; at another, a flat vista with views of a quilt-like terrain of furry pines and aspens; turn again, and you’re in a wide-open grassy field, where pristine nature is the only thing between you & the San Juan Mountains.
