I loved that dry leaf!
By the way, does anyone know the reason for those words marked in yellow that appear in some of out texts?
If you arrive at a forum page through a search using the native search engine, the words in your search will be highlighted.Quote:

Thatīs quite a romantic picture with the dark sky and the atmosphere of solitude it sugests to me. Again, in my low resolution PC it resembles a painting.
Helping out the son and his team partners with their electronics class project. They chose to construct an RC car, in this case they were required to design and fabricate the their own circuitry and control signal device.
As for the actual car, that's where I came, I couldn't imagine a better application for a rice strainer. They christened it: "Beyond Thunderdome".
A few views of the car minus the circuitry, batteries (from my developing "Workbench Composition" series gallery):

Had to look up rc car - radio-controlled! I have a lot of admiration for folks who can build such things.
Thanks for taking a look, a fun project.Quote:

I donīt understand anything about cars. This one has certainly an original form.Is this upper part made out of a tea sieve?
The guys opted to steer the car by alternating the acceleration/ deceleration of each wheel, so I suggested they use a swiveling tail wheel approach which led naturally to a triangular shape. A trilobite was the secondary inspiration for the shape.Quote:

Yes, it certainly went off on a bizarre tangent, see above.Quote:

Thanks. Abandoned buildings is a genre that I enjoy, alot.Quote:

Again a pattern. This time the dominant pattern are the vertical bars of the staircase.

It looks small on the picture. Anyway a gigantic tea sieve then.:smile5:
Not to mention that the trees visible from the window in the photo are really just more straight(ish) lines..Quote:

Its the same here: went from chilly windswept winter to full summer in early May - overnight.
Yes. I noticed that. I do like the straight-line theme in the picture which I think you were emphasizing. I don't think I could find so many straight lines in the home where we live which makes the picture unusual. We have plants all over the place along with a cat.Quote:

Usually these beautiful landscapes convey a feeling of loneliness to me. I live in a densely populated city and when I look at this wood, that seems unhabited, I ask where are all the people of Finnland.Quote:

Lovely picture, the pier looks suspended over the water, while the horizon is hazy, altogether very hazy, even the closer part of the pier is hazy.
A beautiful image. The rainbow lits the beautiful but solitary landscape, like a blessing of nature or of another dimension if one believes in it.
It adds a nice touch when a rainbow ends close to the house, especially if the house is yours.
That post seems to have enlarged the pixels and made it much blurrier than my S7 camera took it. I'll try a smaller version:

It looks like there's fog blurring the trees. Shouldn't the trees in the background be greener than they are?

There's some beautiful formal gardens and nature walks in Charleston, South Carolina. Love taking friends and family who visit from California to Magnolia Plantation & Gardens... a nature walk that includes alligators! http://www.magnoliaplantation.com/gardens.html
