When obsessive photographers become a pain:

One resident told radio station France Info: "We sit down to eat and just outside we have people taking photos, rappers who take two hours to film a video right beneath the window, or bachelorette parties who scream for an hour. Frankly, it's exhausting."

Some 13 years ago, I visited a neighborhood that was lined with cherry trees and when they blossomed it was truly a sight to see.









The neighborhood, for that week, was virtually overrun by invaders. Many were polite, mindful and respectful. Some of them, however, were not. I never went back. I don't know if that neighborhood still opens their doors anymore, but your link reminded me of how things can get.

Maybe we will see a future where you have to get a license to use a camera in certain areas.

To my surprise, that fits also, among many, Amsterdam, Venice and several places in Córdoba, my province, during summer time.

I've been fighting saturated land for nearly a year it seems. The wettest year I've experienced. The path to my shop is no longer passable. Trying to build a shop addition and a gravel driveway to it but the ground is still too wet and keeps getting wetter. I drilled holes in the slop with my tractor auger to drop in a pump and get rid of the water. I lost track of where one of the holes was drilled and my daughter found it for me.

Never before have I seen so dramatic a picture followed by such a lovely one.

Sorry about your shop, but congrats on your beautiful daughter...

Looks great but I'm guessing it's NOT today? Looks too warm.

Not today, just choosing things I want to see... it's snowing here after a couple of warm days. Oh well.

I don't know just how I can see the warmth, but I bet today that water is dark and menacing.

 

A spectacular view of Monterrey's Saddle Mountain at sunrise, looming above the clouds. It's been circulating in the social networks, and I don't know who shot it. But I've been told that it was taken yesterday. And it does match the exact weather we were having at that moment.

​

Here's a stock photo of the mountain as seen from the ground, for comparison purposes.

I'm always awed when you can visualize the fluid nature of the atmosphere. It doesn't "feel" like a fluid in normal daily activities so it's amazing when you can see it flow and fill a void, such as a valley.

My two children and my only grandchild. He’s my daughter’s son. Bright red head!

Great picture, especially since the ex isn’t in it.

 

There is a strong family resemblance.

 

I don't generally post family photos but I can't resist showing off my red heads. Son-in-law and two grandkids.

Nice! Please go back and re-shoot, bracketing the exposure and combine so it is HDR. I want to start playing with that and want some motivation
