Was trying the rule of thirds. If only the kid walked in the opposite direction this would've been a better shot but thats the thing about street photography. Every given shot is a gift. n_n

This is an outtake of This. Niether went as planned. Logan has his own rules.

This certainly qualifies as a part of the gear head series. There could be no other title for this image. I had to track down the actual name because I have watched fewer than 10 seconds of it; I have to protect my standards. This machinery is for the ages and is a real puzzlement! I ought to go again and shoot a wider shot to figure out how some of the gear head series of implements were used. Obviously, some of the castings were blown out during use and I bet it could used some lube! A rock or two in bevel gears can do that. I wonder how long it served afterward? This was a tight composition that I fancied but explained no signs of it's usage. It is a puzzlement and needs further investigating.
This April marked the reopening of the Lohr/McIntosh Agricultural Heritage Center and I decided to travel the access to Mac Lake... but then I turned and snagged shots from the implements for gear heads. I got hung up on my sidetrack project on that day. This implement is pretty old, judging from the rust.
The terrain slopes down to McIntosh Lake in northwest Longmont. The loop trail around the lake is accessible from the ag center. I walked down to the inlet later to search for the mink but got spawning carp? and mallards.
Highway #66 seemed overloaded with early spring travelers to the hills, probably not knowing summer might not arrive until July in Rocky. There are several exhibits inside the red barn waiting for momma's explanations to the kiddies. All the kiddies want is a cool soda pop as long as they have to walk. Sunday offered them a look at a new lamb. Careful, the chickens and bunnies were under foot; a delight to the kiddies no doubt. This is a grand place for families.

Sun, sand and much water... rule of thirds.
Goodman´s Bay Park - Nassau, Bahamas.
an old pic added for "Smile on Saturday" theme #less_is_more.

Haven't employed the Iconic red telephone box for a while , so here it is with the 1A51 Avanti West Coast leaving Platform 1.
Unusually for a Sunday , it was formed of two Voyager units.

I think this lady did an incredible job taking an iconic male character and keeping one of the most endearing sides of his personality - the swashbuckler - and made it work as a feminine character. Her make-up (notice the chin and eyes) and streaking her hair with dark blue color works wonderfully. This is one of the elements I love so much about cosplay, taking a well-known and recognizable character and still add in individual flourishes and make it your own. Brava!
Cosplayer: Echo Endless (no, I didn't realize it was her!)
Tech stuff: used a B&W layer and a darkened brightness/contrast level in PS to make her the brightest and most in-focus item (via Lens Blur filter) in the picture; used masks on Nightcrawler (her hair took forever!) on those layers with a radial gradient then erased the outer areas of the gradient with a dry rag PS brush - added a bit of texture to the gradient's fade.
UPDATE: Nightcrawler's picture was featured in Uproxx's A Compendium of Cool Comics Cosplay: August 23rd (2013). This makes me very happy as I think she did a great job and I - hopefully - did a good job in presenting her to the 'Net.
UPDATE 2: This image is featured in the French and Dutch (Netherlands) articles on "Nocturne." Unfortunately, she is not cosplaying Nocturne (daughter of Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch) but the mix-up is understandable. Nocturne looks a lot like a female version of Nightcrawler.
Goethe's approach to understanding nature: quotes from his writings
“After what I have seen of plants and fish in Naples and Sicily, I would be tempted — were I ten years younger — to undertake a journey to India, not to discover something new, but to view in my way what has been discovered.”Goethe (CH; Letter to Knebel, summer 1787)
“If we want to behold nature in a living way, we must follow her example and becomes as mobile and malleable as nature herself.”Goethe (CH; in Miller, p. 64)“There is a delicate empiricism that makes itself utterly identical with the object, thereby becoming true theory. But this enhancement of our mental powers belongs to a highly evolved age.”Goethe (in Miller, p. 307)“... Dr. Heinroth speaks favorably of my work; in fact, he calls my approach unique, for he says that my thinking works objectively. Here he means that my thinking is not separate from objects; that the elements of the object, the perceptions of the object, flow into my thinking and are fully permeated by it; that my perception itself is a thinking, and my thinking a perception.”Goethe (in Miller, p. 39)“If I look at the created object, inquire into its creation, and follow this process back as far as I can, I will find a series of steps. Since these are not actually seen together before me, I must visualize them in my memory so that they form a certain ideal whole.”At first I will tend to think in terms of steps, but nature leaves no gaps, and thus, in the end, I will have to see this progression of uninterrupted activity as a whole. I can do so by dissolving the particular without destroying the impression ...“If we imagine the outcome of these attempts, we will see that empirical observation finally ceases, inner beholding of what develops begins, and the idea can be brought to expression.”Goethe (in Miller p. 75)“[Morphology's] intention is to portray rather than explain.”Goethe (in Miller p. 57)“We conceive of the individual animal as a small world, existing for its own sake, by its own means. Every creature is its own reason to be. All its parts have a direct effect on one another, a relationship to one another, thereby constantly renewing the circle of life; thus we are justified in considering every animal physiologically perfect. Viewed from within, no part of the animal — as so often thought — is a useless or arbitrary product of the formative impulse.”Goethe (in Miller, p. 121) Goethe on Experimentation and Making Judgments (From “The Experiment as Mediator Between Object and Subject,” written in 1772; in Miller pp. 11-17.) “We can never be too careful in our efforts to avoid drawing hasty conclusions from experiments or using them directly as proof to bear out some theory. For here at this pass, this transition from empirical evidence to judgment, cognition to application, all the inner enemies of man lie in wait: imagination, which sweeps him away on his wings before he knows his feet have left the ground; impatience; haste; self-satisfaction; rigidity; formalistic thought; prejudice; ease; frivolity; fickleness — this whole throng and its retinue. Here they lie in ambush and surprise not only the active observer but also the contemplative one who appears safe from all passion.”
“I would venture to say we cannot prove anything by one experiment or even several experiments together, that nothing is more dangerous than the desire to prove some thesis directly through experiments. ... Every piece of empirical evidence we find, every experiment in which this evidence is repeated, really represents just one part of what we know. ... Every piece of empirical evidence, every experiment, must be viewed as isolated, yet the human faculty of thought forcibly strives to unite all external objects known to it. ...”
“We often find that the more limited the data, the more artful a gifted thinker will become. As though to assert his sovereignty he chooses a few agreeable favorites from the limited number of facts and skillfully marshals the rest so they never contradict him directly. Finally he is able to confuse, entangle, or push aside the opposing facts and reduce the whole to something more like the court of a despot than a freely constituted republic.”
