Possibly it is the most pathetic picture in my photo album, but every time I see it ... I can not stop laughing ...... Sorry!
Have a fantastic friday, and laugh with me! HFF!
possibly a Geoglossum fallax ( Schuppige Erdzunge ) or close relative in our garden in Poole. Approx 3 cm tall
Possibly one of the nicest staircases you could wish to photograph can be found in the heart of London.
Possibly the most maligned bird in the Uk, but I love them.
Herring Gull - Larus Argentatus
Ardmucknish Bay Scotland
Many thanks to all those who take the time to look at fave and comment on my photos. Although I do not reply to each and everyone they are all truly appreciated and welcome.
DSC_2869
possibly one of the most challenging birds I have photographed so far .. they seem to be in perpetual motion.
Possibly the most photographed tree on the planet. In the running at least, and rightfully so, it is a glorious tree on screen. I had the good fortune of a trip out to Portland during fall season so this was an absolutely *mandatory* stop. It was not quite peak fall color, was about a week early for this particular tree, though some of the other japanese maples in the gardens were in the deep rich red stage. In my previous post I talked about not having done much image modification with Photoshop yet. However, I sometimes do quite a lot of tweaking in Lightroom, so In FULL disclosure, I have shifted the colors in this image some to bring out a little more orange and red. In my initial take I shifted it dramatically but then realized that the near rainbow of colors here was quite compelling in its own right and decided to pull back to a more delicate shift in the 5-10% range. Clearly a lot of vibrancy used in this too, though I went pretty light on the saturation (+5). It's one of those images that depending on my mood and the lighting in the room, etc., I will either be very happy with it or want to continue tweaking it.
Met up with fellow photographer Kevin Benedict on this trip. There was a major downpour for multiple days in Portland but we managed to catch a small window where the rain lightened up enough for us to hit the famed Japanese Gardens for this epic tree. The tree is surprisingly small, and even after reading very specific descriptions of its location and warnings that you can easily walk right by it, I did in fact walk right by it. To shoot it, one needs to set up very low to the ground and so it was a bit of a challenge shooting upwards through the dripping canopy in rather dreary light (although that ultimately helped make the dynamic range more manageable). It took multiple attempts with the drying towel handy before getting a clean shot. Fortunately the poor weather kept most people away and so we were able to shoot in peace for quite a while. There was almost no breeze at all so the "Pixel Shift" feature on the K-1 together with the terrific Tamron 15-30 lens grabbed some nice detail.
For those who have the opportunity, the Gardens are well worth the effort and time, they are gorgeous, especially in fall, and recognized as one of the finest public Gardens in all of the USA. An absolute treat for fall color photographers.
Best viewed in full screen.
Possibly the work of a pine beetle (Dendroctonus), although there are many other kinds of bark beetle. All these photos show the large grove made by an adult female. The smaller grooves were made by her larvae as the bored outward.
After a big thunder shower the previous afternoon, the next morning was so hot. I thus hid in the shade for butterflies beside the puddles.
At first I would think this is a new swordtail, but it turns out to be a subspecies of Graphium aristeus.
I can only find one specimen picture of this subspecies (Graphium aristeus timocrates) in the internet.
Graphium aristeus is widespread and common, but this subspecies looks somewhat different from the subspecies I have ever seen and is more appealing to me.

Possibly the remains of a chambered cairn
Isle of Arran
Beinn Bharrain is visible in the distance.
The standing stone 'Machrie moor 7"' is on the horizon to the left. The stone circles start below to the right.
No Photoshop, no Lightroom - just RAW.
This is possibly the only former Peoples Drug in existence that is still a drug store and has its original lighting, windows and entrances. Unfortunately the disco-tastic interior did not survive. :-) This store opened with the mall in 1974, became a Revco in 1993, then converted to CVS in 1997. I don't know of any other CVS stores in enclosed malls in Southwest Virginia, either.
__________
University Mall is a shopping center in Blacksburg, Virginia adjacent to the Virginia Tech campus at the intersection of Prices Fork Road and University City Boulevard. Opened in 1974, the original enclosed mall contained about 250,000 square feet of retail space and was anchored by Woolco and Roanoke-based Heironimus, with Kroger on an outparcel across the street.
During the 1970s and much of the 1980s, this was the hottest retail address in the New River Valley. The center featured a strong mix of regional and local tenants including Mills Fabric, Ritz Camera, H&M Shoes, John Norman (menswear), Sidney’s, The Sickle Moon, Dana (all three were women’s apparel stores), Printer’s Ink bookstore and Peoples Drug. Even Woolco’s closure in 1983 didn’t cripple the place; Roses quickly moved in to replace it.
What did take this place down was the opening of the New River Valley Mall in neighboring Christansburg in 1988. Though the anchors stayed in place, the small shops inside the mall largely closed or moved.
In the early 1990s, both anchors folded and Virginia Tech took over their spaces for various university services and a branch of the University Bookstore. During this time, People Drug became Revco and then CVS and the mall interior slowly filled back in with various local businesses.
In 2004, the mall was sold to a group of local businessmen and plans were made to eventually donate the property to the Virginia Tech Foundation, the mall’s primary tenant. During this time, the interior of the mall received its only renovation. Its tile and concrete floors were carpeted. The globes of its pole lights were changed, and the mall was painted. Two large mobiles were placed over its pair of fountains, which have were thoroughly cleaned. On the exterior, the south end of the mall was expanded and heavily renovated with a parking garage and multistory office building added next to the intersection of Prices Fork Road and University City Boulevard, along with an outparcel for Panera Bread.
Though the center is almost fully tenanted now, the interior mall remains a well-preserved relic of 1970s retail design. Many storefronts are still original and substantially all of the interior décor from 1974 is still here. Even the CVS is still here, largely unchanged from its days as a Peoples Drug.

EXPLORED!!! (Nov 23, 2010 #2)
Possibly the most photographed 1937 Chevy sits watching time pass at the Bodie State Historical Park.
Possibly the biggest, baddest, most bulbous speeder bike to emerge from the drawing boards of Llwyngwril Systems. The Turbinia was based around a massive turbine.
Centuries later, all the evidence left for its existence are these four archive photos. They leave many questions unanswered:
Was the giant turbine some form of centrifugal compressor? If so, were did the all of air go? The nozzles on the rear of the bike are quite small.
As the turbine made up a considerable part of the mass of the speeder bike and was effectively a large gyroscope, how the Turbinia generate enough turning force to manoeuvre?
How did the pilot get up to the cockpit?
The mechanics of the anti-gravity systems needed for the Turbinia to hover are, of course, simple and well known.
The ancient signal tower at Black Ball Head.I took a shot of here a few years back but it was no more than a snapshot really.This was taken on the second morning on the way to Garnish and i just hoped there was enough reach with my lens,turned out it was just right.The second one below was taken a few minutes later and funnily enough at times i think i prefer that one but then i look again and i prefer the first one.
View on black.Beara Peninsula Co Cork.
possibly... at least 10mm long, which is suggestive according to the books. Aston Rowant NNR, Oxfordshire
Possibly one of the more spectacular sunsets I've photographed this year, at least while at home in Sweden.
Possibly by Davtex, this a clone of Debbie The Elegant Doll (New Zealand) or Tressy.
Headmold is similar to Tressy´s but makeup like Debbie´s and body is Davtex-type but you never know, it may have been swapped. Body is marked Davtex.
Oh, forgot: pic is collector friend´s - doll is from her collection.
Quite possibly my oldest image of
Garden of the Gods Park
Colorado Springs, CO
This shot was taken with film long before I moved here, and just recently scanned to digital. Even though I have not yet scanned all of my film images, I don't think I have anything older of this park as prior to 1990 I had not spent very much time in Colorado.

Possibly the most well known waterfall in Norway.
Unfortunately it was foggy when I visited it.
