An incredible variety of tombstones. And the statue photo up top is beautifully composed.
Weird midsection stuff on going on, though. Doubly weird... LOL!
Thanks!
I'm guessing you're referring to the view of the rooftops of Prague. I overly-saturated them to make them stand out and add color to the image, but you can't please everybody.
Most people would have placed such a statue in the centre of a photo, but what GG did was not only provide a balance with the distant building images to the left side bordered by the church, but in a way the photo speaks of overlooking similar to the statue of Jesus at Rio.
I like the color enhancements on your work ...
Nah, I was talking about the midsection of the statue itself. It cracked me up when I first saw it. Bad, mischievous joke, I guess.
LOL. I had to take another look at the statue to realize what you were talking about.
I had to scroll up and look. not an exciting view, apparently. are you trying to work my side of the street now? wtf? ...
I think he was referring to the upturned hand that disappears in the silhouette of the statue making the finger and thumb that protrude look more like a penis and perhaps the corner of the pants open fly just below. Makes the photo yearn for the caption "Whizzing on the world".
It never went through my mind until he clarified what he meant.
We should rename this article Kindergarten Arts.
Not without A.Mac's permission.
Wasn't Praque occupied by Nazi forces dueing WWII? (I'm surpeised they didn't totally destroy all the tombstones.)
Last week I said I would post a wet-market series of photos. This market was within walking distance of our apartment in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

No shortage of food here.
I hope that stuff sells fast. Talk about an open air bacteria farm.
At least it wasn't covid.
I looked it up, and according to the internet they've recently changed things a bit to make them safer. But you're there so you'd know better than me. Do they still do it like that? Meat hanging in warm air and sitting on what looks like bloody plywood in the 4th photo? The woman is wearing a short dress so it's plenty warm outside. I mean, that looks dangerous.
I haven't been to a wet market for almost a decade, not since we moved from Chengdu to Chongqing, so I'll assume you're right that positive changes have been made, especially after the pandemic.
wtf? you don't hang your butchered pork outside in the shade during the summer?

Arvo..
The Southern Right whales are back in the harbour and so is Mr Blubber elephant seal..
The whales swim along the pier watching people..no need to go out in boats here...they come to you...
those last 2 pictures looked a bit like me on the beach, before I lost 45 kg ...
Morning...well done you losing 45kg..that's a lot of weight..
Yes Mr Blubber gets bigger and bigger everytime he rolls up...which on average is every 4 months..
He body surfs in the waves, not sure how but he does..
... meh, that's nothing. I lost about 65kg of excess weight instantly when I got divorced 20+ years ago ...
Good to hear that the right whales are finally back. (Having the wrong whales in the harbour always spreads confusion!)
And that's a whale of a comment.
The wife and I went on a mini vacation to WI Dells and Oshkosh Wisconsin. We left on Thursday and came back last night. I'll have more photos next week...
Witch's Gulch, WI Dells, WI
claustrophobic canyon ...
It gets really narrow in a few places. It's part of the Upper Dells 2 hour boat tour... one of two places that people get dropped off to walk.
I really like that photo - it has a 3-dimensional effect. I'm looking forward to more next weekend. It reminds me of one of the times I was in Israel - this is known as the "Flour cave" on the way south to Eilat.
We will keep this article open through tomorrow for the Labor Day Holiday weekend.
