Here's a slick image from Andrés Nieto Porras under the CC-SA licence where the original can be found @ www.flickr.com/photos/anieto2k/15756294108/
I enhanced the sky by adding more colour + created of a dreamy effect by blurring selective areas of the clouds. I also neutralised the strong orange + purple colour cast and selectively dodge and burned areas of the photo to give the mountains that extra pop. This image is now free to download under the CC-SA licence!
Originally taken using a Canon EOS Mk2 with the EF24-105mm f/4 lens, this is a stellar example of how you don't need top of the line camera gear to take the most stunning photos.
Bicycle near the stairs in the park, in the city of Konakovo, Tver region. Russia.
The main attraction of the city is nature. The park is located in a pine forest on the banks of the Volga. A very cozy clean place with numerous paths, gazebos and wooden figures. There are few cars in the city, everyone uses bicycles.
In 1817, the German professor Baron Karl von Drez from Karlsruhe created and in 1818 patented the first two-wheeled scooter, which he called the "running machine" (Laufmaschine). The Dreza scooter was two-wheeled, equipped with a steering wheel and looked as a whole like a bicycle without pedals; the frame was wooden.
The first bike, similar to those used today, was called the Rover - "Drifter" (or "Tramp"). It was made in 1884 by English inventor John Kemp Starley and has been in production since 1885. Unlike the penny-farthing bike, the Rover had a chain drive to the rear wheel, wheels of the same size, and the driver sat between the wheels.
The first folding bicycle was made in 1878, the first aluminum ones were made in the 1890s, and the first ligerad (sometimes called a rikambent, a bicycle that can be ridden in a recumbent position) in 1895 (and in 1914 mass production of liguerad began by the company " Peugeot ").
Bicycles continued to improve in the second half of the 20th century. In 1974, mass production of titanium bicycles began, and in 1975 - from carbon fiber. In 1983, the cycling computer was invented. In the early 1990s, indexed gearshift systems became widespread.

Some of you will be aware that this image was selected as one of the 12 finalists from over 42,000 entries for this year's BBC Countryfile photographic competition. On the programme a couple of weeks ago it was announced that my entry had been unanimously selected by the judges as their favourite!
'Dune Drifter' will be the June photo on the BBC Countryfile 2020 calendar. Last year the calendars sold raised more than £2.4 million for BBC Children in Need charity and a minimum of £4.50 from the sale of each 2020 calendar will be donated to the BBC Children in Need Appeal. If you are interested in buying a calendar to support this very worthy cause they are on sale now. Please visit: www.countryfile.com/countryfile-tv-show/countryfile-calen...
Many thanks to those of you that voted and those who buy the calendar. If you are feeling a sense of deja view, I did post this image a year ago but had to temporarily remove it to comply with the competition rules. So here is the return of the Luskentyre Pony!
Ein Monolith aus Beton schwebt scheinbar schwerelos zu unbekannten Ufern
A monolith of concrete seems to float weightlessly to unknown shores

One of pictures in my Mad City gacha collection shot at the incredible H22O sim.
I have no information about this lone float home that appeared to be tied to a post on the Pitt River.
Definitely not a common sight along this particular stretch of the river.
Obviously a temporary lodging spot, with the future destination / location left to be anyone's guess???
This residence was an interesting find....perched upon a floating platform, equipped with some comforts of home including various other paraphernalia.... a BBQ, patio loungers, adirondack style chairs, ladder, a hose, wooden storage containers, safety flotation ring, an anchor, seahorse bench, table, stool, a few potted plants, possibly a log and a Canadian Flag. : )
I don't know if the platform itself had a list to it....but the house appears to have a significant lean to one side.
I had to reach a distance with my lens to capture this image, the water was unusually shallow, so we didn't dare travel any closer.
It's quite possible this home ran aground while in transit ?!
