Amazing photo. Upper West side looking South ?

Yes. It's as close to looking down as possible, The gimbal will not rotate a full 90 degrees.

I have a few more similar photos. Enjoy!

I was visiting my friends in the countryside (Scania, Sweden) this weekend, since I was getting a new cat from them. Yesterday, Sunday, was a lovely autumn day, and we went for a long walk in the countryside, in the forest and along two lakes. It was perfect weather for photography and I took a whole bunch of photos,
among them a couple of panoramas of the lakes in the forest.

Here two of them are:

Lake number 1:

This little fella did NOT want his picture taken and he offered to punch me out if I persisted. I snapped a quick one and ran for my life.

What a cool photo, and what a great photo idea! I have to try to do that sometime!

Reminds me of camping in the wilderness, sleeping under the stars.

Me too, I can hear the crickets and bullfrogs

Thanks. It was taken while we were on a "getaway" trip a couple of weeks ago. You rent a "tiny cabin" like this:

Where you have no cell/wifi ( there is a land line for emergencies), and you can disconnect for a bit.
I took it by laying my cell on the table and using the button on its pen/stylus to snap the photo ( I had to use the "pro" settings for the camera.)

Me too, I can hear the crickets and bullfrogs

The crickets had been very vocal earlier, but it being early Oct, and getting pretty chilly at night, they had quieted down by now.

On the left is a shed between the fence and the house.

I have no clue what kind of fungus or mold it is. It was growing on an alder branch.

Dragon Eye

Often these fanciful names are less than convincing, but this one is truly awesome.

What are the white lines on the right half?

My bet would be on solid build-ups/precipitates on the edge of the pool. I have seen similar ones in karst areas.

And some Detroit Iron. These new cars today look like they are made out of electric shavers.

The purple car is very beautiful, in my opinion!
