Pictures Taken By you...

My dad and I were taking a walk in the coulee while I was home for Easter and we came upon this tree. Dad got the great idea of taking a picture looking up into the middle of the tree and it was quite brilliant. It was his idea, but my version of it turned out better than his.



And because I mention him so often in this photography thread, here is a picture of my dad getting ready to shoot up into the tree.



And one of the things we did for Easter was to take a trip to visit graves, an odd thing to do on an Easter afternoon but my youngest son had mentioned that he'd never seen the graves of any of his relatives so we took a little trip to where my dad grew up, about 45 minutes from where they currently live, to visit the graves of his parents and grandparents. His parents are buried in the city graveyard but his grandparents are buried in this great spartan graveyard in the middle of nowhere, nothing but prairie and buttes as far as the eye can see. This is the view to the south of where my great grandparents lie. The buttes are called Teepee buttes and someone has erected this wierd metal cross there, it made for a very striking view. Sam, my son, has decided that's where he wants to be buried.

Maddie, your pictures are awesome!

AdoreroDio, gorgeous shots of the orchids!

Dori, your sunrise photo is beautiful!

vheissu, the red neurons were totally unexpected -- what great pics!

Sleepy, I LOVE the pictures of the wild boars. Wish we had them here, they are sooooo cute!

Idril, Your pictures are so clear and well centered, and all of it (you are a great photographer)! The pic of your father was cute -- a photographer at rest.

Here's another sunrise shot:



Nothing better than quickly scarfing my sister's camera and sprinting 100 meters or so to an ideal spot and taking pictures of the sunrise. Especially in the winter!

My friend took this yesterday, we spent a lot of time finding the location running around in the deserted bunkers outside copenhagen, we took hundreds of photo's, so I felt compelled to share. An awesome experience.

Idril, it's nice to see your father! The picture with the buttes is striking indeed. I think your son has good taste.

Dori, I love sunrise pictures; I have very few sunrise pictures but many sunset pictures because I'm too lazy to ever be up before the sun.

Chava, thanks for sharing that lovely photo; I really like the composition and the muted colors. It looks like wandering around those bunkers would be a surreal experience.

vheissu: I really liked your red neurons. Have you got any more?

SleepyWitch: Lovely piglets (who needs a bulldozer when you have them around?).

Idril: You keep coming up with inventive shots.

Dori: Excellent sunrise shot, and you are right: One has to be quick getting to the right spot at the right time for those shots.

And last but not least, Chava: That is a remarkable shot. I'm sure there must be a lot of work behind it. Very impressive.

I have had very little time for photography lately (Just too much work and no fun ), but I have managed a few shots. Here we go:


Early spring, and finally things are coming back to life again.
The light conditions were a bit unusual here. Diffused light seemed to come from all directions.


Beavers at work along my route to work (I actually go cross county on my MTB to get there).


Still some work to do here.


Wood Anemones. The first flowers we see in the spring.


I actually don't know what these are called, but they turn up very early in the year too.


A close up of the same.


Close up of the first small Birch leafs. Notice the occupant on its opposite side?


The final part of my route to work (500m to the left of the red building in the background.
This was taken with my 2 Mp phone cam, btw).


Apple blossoms in Esklstunas old town. This place is a restaurant located by the river
(the landing is in fact on the river) in a 18th century building.
Picture taken with the phone cam.

Awesome photos everyone!!


I love these types of photos, like the one I'm about to post here:



Hope my friend doesn't mind me posting this, as it's her in the photo

I took this on camp, we were walking somewhere and I saw the sunlight and I went off and took a photo of it shining through the trees, and then she began to walk in front of me so I took a photo of her and I think it's pretty cool And also it really suits her personality (most of the time)

A look at Prague:

Very nice Themis. Looks pretty.

I was at a wedding last year where the affair was held overlooking the New York harbor from the Brooklyn side. Here are soem pictures.







Now what you're seeing in those pictures above is the downtown Manhattan skyline with the Manhattan Bridge in the fore with the Brooklyn Bridge behind.

Here are a couple of photos of the Empire State Building.

[kiz_paws]

Chava, your picture is stunning. Well done indeed.

Claes, beautiful work -- the flowers are gorgeous!

kelby and sprinks, cool pics!

Themis -- great shots of the incredible architecture of Prague (wish I could go there!)

Virgil, great shots of New York, another place I should love to visit some day.

Time for another round: I have been out and about a bit.


Bowling with a bunch of friends from work.


Colourful, eh?


Sunset seen from a boat on lake Mälaren near Eskilstuna.


Same sunset as above a couple of minutes later.


And again....


Traffic jam due to a highway accident, close to my home.


I have no idea what those are called in English, but a straigtht translation
from Swedish would be "Luitenants Heart".


A closer look.


I have to admit that I dont know the name of those either... in any language.


A composite panorama from our bedroom window, put together from 20 different shots.

I love your sunsets Claes. Very nce.

I have no idea what those are called in English, but a straigtht translation
from Swedish would be "Luitenants Heart".


A closer look.

I believe those are called Bleeding Hearts in English.

I have to admit that I dont know the name of those either... in any language.

Those look familiar too but I can't quite place the name.

20 different shots pasted together is quite a feat. Nice work.

Thanks for all that Claes. I enjoyed it.
