Photo of the Day August 2017

We're doing fine thanks. Our Premier League season kicks off tomorrow against Manchester United.

We both know I'm considerably younger than you! Especially as I'll be back at work Monday morning where as you are probably off to the Zimmer frame fitters!

You made me get off my commode to see this abuse?

Cheers

Arctic Tern - Iceland

Very nice. A challenge for your camera's autofocus no doubt. Just as well you didn't have an inferior brand!

That is amazing separation you have got there and crisp details. Very nicely done!

Very good. Bubbles are surprisingly difficult to capture arent they? nice bit of detail in the reflections of the main one.

They were! I love the reflection of our beach cottage (we are on vacation until tomorrow) in the bubble. Very cool!

More Amish Country...
Amish Country Tour 18 by US Antigoon, on Flickr

Where is this? I grew up in western Pennsylvania in Amish country (though most people associate it more with eastern Pennsylvania).

Another shot of LA that could really have used a tripod. Still I was happy how it came out considering.

My favorite make. Favorite model is the 86/87 911 Targa (no whale tail) in red.

The Avenue of Oaks, Boone Hall Plantation

We toured the Boone Hall Plantation just outside of Charleston, South Carolina on a recent trip. It is one of the countries oldest working plantations having continually grown crops for over 320 years. This 3/4 mile stretch of Southern Live Oak trees were planted in 1743 and comes complete with Spanish Moss hanging from them (very southern). This is the view from near the main house back towards the entrance. I love history so I found the more than three hours we spent there fascinating. Expect to see a couple of more pictures in the next few days.

As you know AFB...Nikon: There is no substitute!

Thanks guys. We have Common and Caspian Terns around here but the Arctic Terns are smaller and much faster in flight so I was quite happy to get the shot.

A fun day riding in the hills, getting into all sorts of tight spots.
