color study for smellements. I don't think this actually counts as a "color study" but, um, WHATEVER
A few miles downstream from Niagara Falls are these amazing class 6 whitewater rapids, see link for video.
Toward the end of the afternoon lesson, a group of young monks finished memorizing their scriptures at Chimi Lhakhang.

...I had to wait a very long time for my lunch, so I had some time to get my cam out....
I wish you all a great weekend!!!!!!!!!
You probably thought what I did: If I post to an award group that requires 3 awards, then I should expect 3 awards, on average. Obviously, any given photo will get more or less, but you figure on average you should get as much as you give, right? WRONG!!
I’ve done a systematic study of how many awards the different award groups give out, and the bottom line is this: The half of Flickrites who do actually give out rewards get nothing in return from the other half of the Flickrites who post and run.
If you’re posting and running, shame on you. If you’re posting and being honest, then you should check out the list below to see which award groups are best and worst.
Details of the study are below; I welcome any data that the group admins wish to share, or from anyone would like to validate these findings. I realize my sample is small and would like to get more data...
-----------
Purpose: Do you get as many rewards as you give in Flickr award groups?
Method: Sample 20 Flickr award groups. Go to page 24 and count the number of awards given to the first 12 pictures; this is deep enough in the pool that awards have stopped, but not so deep that many images have been pulled. I validated a sample of 12 was sufficient.
Result: From a total sample of 240 images posted to award groups, you get 59% of the awards you give out, or roughly you have to give two awards in order to get one. There is huge variation amongst the groups, as you’ll see in table below.
Discussion: At a practical level, it appears that there are two things that contribute to a higher percentage of reciprocity. First, group cohesion makes a difference—for example Shining Star has a relatively higher percentage because many of the members are contacts with each other. Second, a mechanical pool sweeper, if properly used, makes a HUGE difference, e.g. Global Village 2 and Flickr Hearts. The results also show that there are lots of Flickrites who don’t play by the rules. In the case of group awards, without a pool sweeper there is absolutely no penalty for posting and running because there’s no way to get caught.
Group averages… For example, A+++ has 70%, meaning that for every A+++ award you give, you get 0.7 back… Some of the averages are above 100% because of sampling error, and because of multiple invites.

On the way out of Big Bend towards Alpine, Texas. Doesn't look much like the Alps, if you ask me. They need to study more, whoever named it.

This is my 2nd entry for Summer Joust 2020! It shows Leonardo da Vinci studying some of his invented models gliding through the updrafts of the Tuscany.
I had a lot of fun building the scenery and thinking about miniature models resembling some of his famous flying machines, I hope you like it just as much as I do.
This build is part of a collaboration with Brickleas, Mark and YgrekLego, three fellow members of RogueBricks
