First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.
Used the following effects on original macro of yellow Pansy with dark purple: carmine, then inverse, then normal oil painting effect at 85%.

I have a feeling that title has been used before :) Yes, took my fisheye on the train to Boston which gave me something to do as everything rushed past. Have to make fast decisions!
Edit: 16 mm f2.8 Nikon fisheye bought secondhand about 25 years ago and no electrical connection for camera to know what it is. I bought it not long after we married and my was impressed it paid for itself almost immediately when a photo won a competition. About the last one I won with any money attached :)

La città di Shanghai, situata sul fiume Huangpu presso il delta del Chang Jiang, è la più popolosa città della Repubblica Popolare Cinese e la città più popolosa del mondo.
Shanghai è vista come capitale economica della Cina.
Grazie allo sviluppo dei passati decenni, Shanghai è un centro economico, finanziario, commerciale e delle comunicazioni di primaria importanza della Repubblica Popolare Cinese. Il suo porto, il primo del Paese, è uno dei più trafficati al mondo con Singapore e Rotterdam. Nel 2010 ha superato Singapore come volume di traffico.
Per quanto concerne l'estensione superficiale, quindi la vera grandezza di una città, è la terza realtà più grande del mondo, inferiore soltanto alla sua connazionale cinese Pechino, che la supera di oltre 2 volte e alla seconda classificata Tsingtao, quasi il suo doppio.
I maestosi edifici lungo il Bund, la magnifica passeggiata di circa 1 Km e mezzo regala una vista mozzafiato sullo skyline di Shanghai: il Pudong (a est del fiume Pu). “L’isola” di Pudong è l’area più moderna della città: è proprio qui che troverete i palazzi più famosi e imponenti, come ad esempio la Jinmao Tower, il World Financial Center e l’Oriental Pearl Tower che sono considerati la massima rappresentazione dell’architettura moderna mondiale, nonché espressione dello sviluppo della città negli ultimi 100 anni.

A vintage display in the middle of the country west of Milledgeville,IL. This is on the property of an Illinois centennial farm. Have a great truck Thursday all and pray for rain-no rain in my area for almost 3 weeks! Couldn't get my planting done till early June because it was too wet and it hasn't rained since.I guess you can't mess with Mother Nature! LOL
This farmer ran a local filling station for many years as well,thus the Mobil memorabilia...
The Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists and Church Army all used 'Gospel cars' in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Within Methodism, horsedrawn wagons were partly replaced by hand-pushed 'trek carts' in the inter-war years, and finally by deaconess' caravans in the 1950s. Gospel Cars were used for ministry in markets, fairgrounds, at overnight moorings for barge and boat people, and to traveller camps, and to reach rural locations.
This faithful reproduction of Car No 11 was built in 2011, and is currently housed on the Boat Dock at the Black Country Living Museum. This serves to link it within the museum campus with one of the historically marginalized groups - the boat and barge people - to whom the Gospel Car missioners were reaching out. The inside of the Gospel Car can be viewed from the front platform even when no-one is specifically on duty, so visitors can see for themselves how the Gospel Car operated. It was a little home on wheels - what are seats during the day were beds at night. It was a little church on wheels - the bigger audience would be addressed from the platform while the smaller audience would be invited inside. It was a little audio-visual centre - see the organ and the pictures hanging from the wall. What you may not see, because they are stored out of sight, are the gramophone, the percussion band instruments and the magic lantern. It sounds wonderful, but with walls of just a single plank thick it would certainly be very very cold on many a winter night.

Caïre (ou cayre) signifie en langage local un sommet rocheux. Les Caïres dominent la vallée du sanctuaire de la Madone de Fenestre. Le sanctuaire est établit depuis le moyen-âge (année 887), refuge d'étape pour ceux qui désiraient passer du comté de Nice (dépendant de la Savoie) au Piémont italien par le col de Fenestre (2474 m), sur le chemin duquel la photo a été prise.
Au cours de la seconde guerre mondiale, le col a servi de route d'exil pour les juifs niçois réfugiés à Saint Martin-Vésubie fuyant la persécution nazie (650 personnes à partir du 9 sept. 1943). Malheureusement, nombres d'entre eux (350) furent internés dans un camp de concentration Italien (Borgo San Dalmazzo) puis déportés à Auschwitz.
J.M.G. Le Clézio, prix Nobel de littérature, a écrit un roman au sujet des juifs de Saint-Martin-Vésubie : Etoile Errante, 1992, Gallimard, Paris.
Caïre (or cayre) means in local language a rocky summit. The Caïres dominate the valley where the sanctuary of the Madone de Fenestre is located. This sanctuary has been established since the Middle Ages (year 887) and was the refuge for those who wanted to pass from the county of Nice (depending on the Savoie county) to the Italian Piemont by the pass of Fenestre (2474 m), on which path the photo was taken.
During World War II, the pass served as an exile route for Jewish people from the city of Nice fleeing the Nazi persecution (650 personnes from the 9 of sept. 1943). Unfortunately, many of them were interned in an Italian concentration camp (Borgo San Dalmazzo) and next deported to the Auschwitz camp (Poland) from which they never came back (350 people).
J.M.G. Le Clézio, Nobel Price of literature, wrote a novel about this sad story of Jewish people of Saint-Martin-Vésubie : "Wandering Star", Willimantic: Curbstone Press, 2004.
Nothing of all you have longed for or have sought to hold fast can relieve you of your thirst, your loneliness, until you learn to take in your hands and raise to your lips this cup of solitude his chalice of the void and drain it to the dregs.
-Paul Murray, Scars, p. 101.
The sight with which the soul is endowed by nature is Charity. This sight has two eyes: Love and reason. Reason can see God only in what He is not; Love rests not except in what He is. Reason has safe paths along which to proceed; Love feels Her failure, but this failure makes Her advance more than reason does. Reason proceeds towards what God is by what He is not; Love sets aside the things that God is not and rejoices in Her failure, as regards what God is. Reason is more easily satisfied, but Love has more sweetness and bliss. However, these two are of great mutual help to each other, for reason instructs Love and Love enlightens reason. When reason is carried away by Love’s desire, and when Love accepts to be guided by reason, within reason’s limits, together they can accomplish a wonderful work. But you cannot be taught this except by experience.

There are certainly countless motifs that can be used to symbolize the new beginning of a year. A sunrise outside in nature (in this case on the Hoher Schneeberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains) is my favorite.
In both cases we are on a path that leads us into a new phase of life. A path that is only known to us to a certain extent and where a big surprise (or challenge) can be waiting for us around the next bend.
Now you could object that a day is just a day and in comparison a year must be much more significant. I would like to show you why I don't quite see it that way.
On the one hand, this assessment is based on our standards, which are based on a human life. If we look at it from the perspective of the lifespan of the universe, a year is just as insignificant as a day (basically the effects of neither are noticeable).
On the other hand, a single day, a single decision is enough to fundamentally change our own world in every conceivable direction.
So what if we didn't wait for a specific date every year to realize where we want to go, but could use every single day of the year to do so?
Our creative possibilities would increase many times over and we would have so much more room for directional corrections. We could learn, try things out and gain experience without having to ask the fundamental question every time.
With this in mind, I wish you all a good start and an exciting and fulfilling journey.
Because today is the first day of the rest of all of our lives.
Es gibt ganz sicher unzählige Motive, mit denen man den Neubeginn eines Jahres symbolisieren kann. Ein Sonnenaufgang draußen in der Natur (in diesem Fall auf dem Hohen Schneeberg im Elbsandsteingebirge) ist mein Favorit.
In beiden Fällen befinden wir uns auf einem Weg, der uns in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt führt. Ein Weg, der uns nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad bekannt ist und auf dem hinter der nächste Kurve eine große Überraschung (oder auch Herausforderung) auf uns warten kann.
Jetzt könntet Ihr einwenden, dass ein Tag ja nur ein Tag ist und im Vergleich dazu ein Jahr doch viel bedeutender sein muss. Ich möchte Euch aufzeigen, warum ich das nicht ganz so sehe.
Zum einen fusst diese Einschätzung auf unsere auf ein Menschenleben ausgerichteten Masstäbe. Betrachten wir das ganze aus Sicht der Lebensspanne des Universums ist ein Jahr genau so unbedeutetend wie ein Tag (im Grunde sind die Auswirkungen beider nicht spürbar).
Andererseits genügt ein einziger Tag, eine einzige Entscheidung um unsere eigene Welt grundlegend zu verändern und das in jede nur denkbare Richtung.
Wie wäre es also, wenn wir nicht jedes Jahr auf ein spezielles Datum warten würden um uns bewusst zu machen, wohin wir gehen wollen, sondern dafür jeden einzelnen Tag des Jahres nutzen könnten?
Unsere gestalterischen Möglichkeiten würden um ein vielfaches steigen und wir hätten so viel mehr Raum für Richtungskorrekturen. Wir könnten lernen, probieren und Erfahrungen sammeln ohne jedes Mal die Grundsatzfrage stellen zu müssen.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen einen guten Start und eine spannende sowie erfüllende Reise.
Denn heute ist der erste Tag vom Rest unser aller Leben.

De la majestuosidad, belleza y frialdad del Matterhorn o Cervino, vamos a la calidez de un atardecer veneciano por excelencia. Cada vivencia en esta mágica ciudad es única e irrepetible, no importa cuantas veces la visitemos... siempre se tiene la sensación de que es la primera vez, porque nunca deja de sorprendernos muy gratamente...

From the majesty, beauty and coldness of Matterhorn or Cervine, we turn to the warmth of a quintessential Venetian sunset. Each experience in this magical city is unique and unrepeatable, no matter how many times you visit ... always have the feeling that it is the first time, because it never fails to surprise very pleasantly...

Inside tuk tuk - Bangkok - Thailand
Hace mucho calor, el ruido es insoportable, el aire que respiro esta ardiendo son las 12:00 h de la noche y parece de dia.
Velocidad, desenfreno, osadía, y un ritmo trepidante, estoy en el interior de un TUK TUK...
Le he dicho al conductor que yo tengo prisa, he cometido un gran error, el miedo , me acompañará durante 20 minutos fuera de control, en una ciudad increible es Bangkok.
It is very hot, the noise is unbearable, the air we breath is hot is 12:00 at night and by day it seems.
Speed, wildness, daring, and a hectic pace, I am in a TUK TUK ...
I told the driver I have a hurry, I have committed a big mistake, fear, accompanied me for 20 minutes out of control, in an incredible city is Bangkok.

Spanish
La Puerta de Alcalá es una de las cinco antiguas puertas reales que daban acceso a la ciudad de Madrid (España).
Se encuentra situada en el centro de la rotonda de la Plaza de la Independencia, diseñada por el urbanista Ángel Fernández de los Ríos en el año 1778. En el cruce de las calles de Alcalá, Alfonso XII, Serrano y Salustiano Olózaga, junto a las puertas del Retiro: Puerta de España, Puerta de la Independencia (entrada principal a los jardines del Retiro) y Puerta de Hernani.
La puerta daba acceso a aquellos viajeros que entraban antiguamente a la población desde Francia, Aragón o Cataluña. En la actualidad es una puerta monumental que se encuentra ubicada junto a la Fuente de Cibeles y el Parque del Retiro. Fue construida por mandato de Carlos III en sustitución de otra puerta anterior que existía ya desde el siglo XVI. El diseño y obra pertenece al arquitecto italiano Francesco Sabatini. Compitieron con Sabatini otros proyectos por parte de arquitectos españoles: Ventura Rodríguez y de José de Hermosilla, siendo finalmente elegido personalmente por el Rey el diseño de Sabatini.
Se trata de una puerta de estilo neoclásico y aspecto monumental similar a los Arcos de Triunfos romanos, se erigió mirando su exterior a oriente en el año 1778. La puerta ha sido posteriormente restaurada en cinco ocasiones en más de dos siglos de existencia, siendo la última a finales del siglo XX. La originalidad de su fábrica consiste en ser el primer arco de triunfo construido en Europa tras la caída del Imperio romano, siendo precursor de otros como el Arco de Triunfo de París y la Puerta de Brandeburgo en Berlín.
Ha sufrido desde sus comienzos diversas transformaciones urbanísticas en su entorno. Pasando de ser la frontera exterior de Madrid, a un centro turístico de obligado paso que aparece insertada casi en el medio de la misma ciudad. Este cambio se ha debido al ensanche del siglo XIX a lo largo del barrio de Serrano y la prolongación de la calle de Alcalá. Finalmente es desde 1976 considerado por el Estado Español como un Monumento Histórico-Artístico, extendiendo su categoría a la misma Plaza de la Independencia.
La puerta ya desde su ubicación final fue adquiriendo desde finales del siglo XVIII relevancia en el pueblo madrileño, y a finales del siglo XIX era ya uno de sus iconos más característicos que aparece en numerosas ilustraciones de la ciudad. Al ser uno de los monumentos más representativos, en su doble condición de mirada hacia el interior de la ciudad y al exterior de la misma. la Puerta de Alcalá ha servido como soporte para todo tipo de manifestaciones políticas y artísticas y en sus inmediaciones se han producido numerosos hechos históricos.

The Puerta de Alcalá ("Alcalá Gate") is a Neo-classical monument in the Plaza de la Independencia ("Independence Square") in Madrid, Spain. It stands near the city center and several meters away from the main entrance to the Parque del Buen Retiro. The square is bisected by Alcalá Street, although the street itself doesn't cross through the monument, and it is the origin of the Alfonso XII, Serrano and Olózaga streets. Its name originates from the old path from Madrid to the nearby town of Alcalá de Henares.
Madrid in the late 18th century, still remained a somewhat drab villa in appearance, surrounded by medieval walls. Around the year 1774, king Charles III commissioned Francesco Sabatini to construct a monumental gate in the city wall through which an expanded road to the city of Alcalá was to pass, replacing an older, smaller, gate which stood nearby. It was inaugurated in 1778.

I used to walk by this street very often, but since the new MRT line started last winter, I changed my daily route to another alley: www.flickr.com/photos/shangpc/albums/72157651625181588
That day I was in a hurry to go to a family lunch gathering, saw this scene on the way without my camera in hand. After the lunch, I went straight home, grabbed my camera, and returned to this location. Fortunately, nothing was changed.
The owner of the prosthetic leg was about ten meters away on a wheel chair, selling chewing gums. He asked if I were a reporter. He said he does not need report, nor help from the government or anyone. He just lost his leg a few months ago, things had been tough, but he thought as long as he can sell 40 gums a day, he can support himself no problem.
I thanked him for allow me to take pictures, wished him good luck and left, but didn't ask why he had to put the leg so far away from himself.
A few days later, I bumped into him again, this time I asked him why, and his answer was quite amusing. He said he is sick and tired of looking at the leg, that's why. But once he putted it further away, about triple the distance as it is now, a janitor came by and thought someone dumped it, then tried to carry it away, so he had to chase the janitor (on his wheel chair). Therefore it appears the way it is now: far enough, but not too far.
這張是我入圍2016年邁阿密街頭攝影比賽（MSPF 2016）決選的作品。
那天我正要去參加一個午餐聚會，半路上在我家附近看到這個景象，很想拍下來，但相機不在手上。吃完飯我直接回家，抓了相機再回到這裡，幸好一切都沒變。
義肢的主人，坐在離這裡大約十米的一個輪椅上，正在賣口香糖。他看到我手拿相機，問我是不是記者，他說他不需要報導，也不需要政府補助。幾個月前他才因為工作，失去了左腿，但最困難的時間已經過去。他算過了，只要一天能賣四十條口香糖，就可以自力更生，不需要別人幫助。
我表明自己不是記者，於是他同意讓我拍。拍完之後，我向他道謝，也祝他順利安康，但離開之後才想起，忘了問他為何要把那條義肢放那麼遠？
過兩天再看到他，義肢仍是同樣擺法，我又上前跟他聊了一下，這次沒忘了問他為什麼。他的回答很妙：他說因為剛截肢，不知為何，很討厭看到那條假腿，所以眼不見為淨。一開始他來這裡時，義肢擺得更遠，在這堵圍牆的另一端，離他大約有三十公尺。但有次來了一個清潔隊員，以為是誰不要的，要把它拿去丟，他只好飆著輪椅去追回來，所以現在才擺成眼前這個樣子：有點遠，但又不會太遠。
