Sometimes fog is your friend...
I'm a little to pull the trigger on this one. I converted it to greyscale and liked it even better. The upper buildings in the frame seem to be hovering over the ones in the foreground in a more pronounced way.
Nice shot no matter what.

Please, may I steal this for a wallpaper for personal use? In other words, I like it.
As always, lots of good stuff being posted here. These ones caught my eye especially.
This is fun and charming.
This is nice and sharp, and the background branches are clear enough to show what they are without distracting from the bird himself.
Nice composition on this one, as well as pleasing soft colours.
So here's a shot from a wedding we happened across in Taormina, Sicily earlier in the year.

Back to fast again. This car will attempt to break the land speed record for its class at Bonneville during speed week in August. It has already beaten the record during trial runs: ~245MPH versus ~235 for the record.

Interesting caps on the posts. I know the one on the left is the raven, but I can't ID the one next to it...bear?
Been a bit chilly this last week here in the rain forest.
Nice photo. The trees on either side of the windows trapped you into a centered subject, but you handled the limitation well by giving white space below the subject.Here's one of the snow covered memorial garden at my church.

It would be cool if you could catch more light reflecting off the stained glass. Is this lit at night?

Iguana in St Thomas
I was fortunate enough to avoid the pre-christmas snow with a trip to the Caribbean. I used the handy flip-out screen of the Canon G12 to avoid scrabbling on the floor for this angle. This shot was taken just outside the Iguana Bar in the docks at St. Thomas, so I presume it's an Iguana.
Camera: Canon G12
ISO: 320
Focal length: 6.1 (equivalent to 28mm)
Shutter: 1/1250

They taste like chicken..so I'm told. It must be dinner time for me if I look at a reptile and get hungry..

Thanks! I actually had to crop out some extra white space from the bottom because it was too much in the original aspect ratio. I couldn't go up any higher, either, because there's a ladder on the roof that would not look good in the photo. I felt stopping at just below the roof line was the better framing, too.
Unfortunately there wasn't any more light reflecting off the stained glass from the sun. They are actually pretty dark and the color only really showed in the +2 exposure (that picture is combined of -2, 0, +2). I think the only light at night is a security light and parking lot lights behind me. Now, when we have a night church session the windows really light up from inside the sanctuary. I'm saving the night shot for Easter Vigil when we have part of our service there. I think there will be torches there, too, that will add a nice mood. You can see how the windows look from this image taken from a different side of the sanctuary at night.
Dale, the pile cap in question is a beaver, and the other is indeed Raven. The Raven was going to be holding a large jewel in his beak, but the best laied plans of mice and artist do not all ways work out...
They were both done by Tlingit artist Stephen Jackson.
Here is a closer shot from my flickr page, where you can see the chew stick.
They do, My Grandfather brought some back from a fishing trip one time when I was a kid... He was a strong believer in "If you kill it, You Eat It.". He was a big hunter, and I ate some weird things as a kid. Funny I live in Alaska now and have never been hunting... Love to fish tho.They taste like chicken..so I'm told.

Right outside Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico.
