What a fine story. The light isn't all that bad with the way you have toned the shot to make it look old. It's great that you still have it to go see. In time, like us, it will be gone. It's good to be able to at least keep our images of the things like this that mean a lot to us. You should try to shoot a few with your family in front of it.

That is a very nice finish for this shot. I like the water color a lot, and the low key of the whole thing, though I know that it must have been bright, by the light and shadows. It's a lot like moon light on a full moon night. I think the green in the water is awesome.

Waves - Triptych - Day 7

This is a good trip'. The repetition is sort of like watching the waves lull the mind off into the alpha zone. Too bad these photos don't have sound.
If you were to mirror flip the center shot, then the waves and shorelines would make a sort of S line thru the whole image.

Thank you Shez, for adding the rest of the story to this shot. I am very happy to see that you are able to be back at your keyboard too.

This is very nice the way the sharpness fades off beyond the cat's face. Cool Cat!

Dillon and the dogs

He is a lucky boy to have parents who live where you do, and that are exposing him to the rural way of growing up. I hope that his bent for photography will pay off in later years for him.

I love all the snow and beautiful power lines....Day 6

Wow! That spot looks like the North Pole. Maybe all of us on this challenge should chip in and buy you a wireless remote?

This looks like a little bite of the 50's. The story with it is good too. I see that you had a rather late breakfast. B&W is great for this shot, so don't feel bad about the white balance thing. Sometimes we err correctly.

That's funny in a Monty Python sort of way : )

Yep, you can tell that they are punkers all right, by their indistinct features and fuzzy outlines with lots of piercing. This is a good slow shutter shot. You may want to put it in the "blur" gallery.
