Photo of the Day September 2020

[Alexander.Of.Oz]

Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.

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.

Policies

*One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day.

*Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.

*SFW (Safe for Work) only - This is a site - wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.

*Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.


Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.

Looks like the COVID situation might be with us for a little while... I'm not washing my hands here any time soon!

More old stuff that nobody dares to use.

Oh, damn, that was in the "possible future blackmail" folder, not the "ready to use" folder. Another fiscal opportunity missed! 🤣

I know, the luxury! We still have to bucket water from the stream.

 

[stillcrazyman]

A bucket ? Luxurious living ! We had to....

Actually we're quite proud of our retro rooms

Even though this is lovely and crisp, there's a wonderful delicateness to this image. Great job!

He's one of the 20-odd sparrows that regularly visit my deck to feast and share fellowship! LOL! Shot him a day or two ago when he was looking out over the lake waiting his turn at the trays. Sometimes they all crowd in and around the trays, so someone has to back off and be patient!

Funny. In dutch it's called a 'KBV' too ( Klein Bruin Vogeltje = litte brown bird )

 

[Alexander.Of.Oz]

Not Arizona! And, yes, the sun did glow off the wall like that! If you look at the cactus you can see the sun bleaching of it on both sides!

This place was rather large as it stood and was designed to have yet more added on at some stage, hence the keystones jutting out of the corner section for the extension to adhere to and this fireplace would have become internal.

I didn't get a chance to comment before, but am on a quick break now. Moths have this same scale type thing happening on their wings too. As you mentioned a while ago, it creates that sense of lack of detail when initially observed!
