It's February on the International Dateline.

Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

Step up

Lovely angle, nice light but.... you need to help us understand what it is. Is it a kissing post for short men to raise themselves up for a smooch? or something less exciting?

It's the base for an old binocular viewer at a park.

Old scan (hence the odd hair) from an old photograph taken on a happy day many years ago.

It was the duck that caught my eye I think (as usual) I would have had a 50mm f1.4 on board so click away anyway.

One for today from the past. Maybe some from my life now - later.

Regards

Sharkey

Thanks, Peter. Here's s close up shot using a 1.4x tele extender on my 70-200 lens of the ridge line immediately adjacent to the take off of Upper Yosemite Falls. This was taken from the Sentinel parking lot for those familiar with Yosemite NP. It had snowed the night before.

OK, so I got a bit of a pat on the back yesterday! coming home, my wife posted on facebook that this picture had been shown on the BBC Scotland site. I thought that was AMAZING! I punted it in and thought nothing of it because BA ignored one of my previous pictures that I sent in.

HOWEVER!

Last night, on the evening news, they did a slot on the Nacreous clouds on BBC Scotland News.... and they led with MY PICTURE!!!!! I am so chuffed about it. I was grinning like a cheshire cat!
