It is an experience, think Wicker man meets Midsommer. If you fancy visiting....as an outsider.

Here is a lighthouse I have shot before, but this time I shot it through a sculpture which is located ca 250 meters away from it. The sculpture is a stone structure with a large, circular hole in it.

I just realized, I'm entering some photos into an art show at my sailing club. I don't know if they'll sell - if people are interested in abstract nautical images. I could use you guys as alpha testers!

And its high time for varnish on that marina dock. And for non skid: one coat then sprinkle sand. Let dry then 2nd varnish coat

Because you didn't wear your gi to the dojo picnic?

And when she gives you that look: Ok that was staged but she's for real and good backup around here. Had a little problem with this other Thai lady today, and one phone call from my girlfriend , Neng 39. Problem gone.

Noice! That look seems to be a universal property of teenage daughter objects:

Some nice red flowers shot today, Linum grandiflorum:

Ok, another flower, if I may...
...I got pleased with the light (and, actually, lack thereof*) in this one.

Purple Cape Marguerite daisy:

* I've realized that my own favorite flower shots are actually those where the flower(s) are unevenly lit, like here (part in direct sunlight, part in shadow).

Jomtien Beach today, with more photos of girlfriend Neng- If I may

Just back from a marvelous trip to Tatra mountains

Lomnica peak:

Lake Morskie Oko

Debris (around 10m thick) from an avalanche a few years ago ...

Some advice:
- take mountains seriously. That pic above is about winter: but even now, the rescue helicopters made trips up the mountains a few times a day
- any cam will worth nothing if you forget to pack the charger...

Very informative. Avalanche debris is something I had not thought about before. I'm used to seeing videos of snow coming down an open area. Hadn't thought much about when it hits the tree line.

These big bright flowers showed up in the hood recently:

I entered the feared maze yesterday...

It was tough, but I managed to get out without too much extra items in my cart
(I bought some extra art frames in case I would need them ).

Behold the citadel of temptations...

...yellow and blue are the colors of cheap indulgences...

...oh no, I'm lost! And there are so many items to look at...

Aah, I finally found the escalator to freedom... I will soon again breathe the fresh air of economic moderation. Free at last!

Sorry for the boring photos, I just wanted to have some fun in this post .

Getting past the roaming minotaur can be a challenge.

Only in Thailand: Haven't heard from my regular girlfriend Neng for 3 days - mmmm? So I meet this Thai lady at the bus stop and invite her for seafood in Jomtien and photos at the getaway.

Indeed. I think my daughter thinks I took one too many pics at her graduation

 

[berkeman]

What's wrong with this picture? (screenshot of a Toyota truck commercial on TV just now)...

 

[Borg]

The ramp is to small to jump the truck.

A couple of shots from around the city...

The Town Hall (built 1546):

A small old house (built 1842):

A very old house, one of the oldest in the city (16th century):

The corner of another old house:

And last, sunlight through leaves:

LOL, nope.

Spoiler

I don't know anybody who pushes/maneuvers their motorcycle from the right side. We follow the horse example and always get on from the left side. If I tried to push my dirtbike around from the right side, I'd fall over for sure.

That handsome model has never been on a motorcycle, I'm guessing.

You're certain that's "not a cellphone mirror-image?"

Excellent question! But no, the dirtbike's drive chain is on the correct side.

Wow, doesn't look big enough to me.

But he's putting it on [or taking it from] the left side of a trailer that looks a lot like the one below; he doesn't have a choice.

Note also that in the previous video, one bike has its chain on the left-hand side (Honda) and the other on the right-hand side (Husqvarna). There is no "correct" side.

Does Husky still put the chain on the right side? I though that they only did that back in Malcom Smith's day (On Any Sunday)...

To be honest, I was with you on the "correct" side of the chain until I saw the video I uploaded where two bikes were side by side with the chain on different sides. (So not a mirror effect of some sort.)

The bike is obviously of relatively recent time. with a quick search, the most recent model I found was a WR250 2013.

I also found ATK which did this, the latest model year being 2008, Husaberg until 2008, Praga ED 250 & 610 until 2003, Maico in 2014, and KTM as late as 1999.

Oh, yes. So you've been there? Very fun to see an old photo of it!

Here's a shot of the mill from August this year:

And right next to that mill is a communal garden which is one of the best places in the city to shoot flowers. Some of my flower shots in this thread are from that garden.

Yes, it's from summer 1978. A friend and I arrived via the hydrofoil ferry from Copenhagen.

We spent a few hours walking around and eating dinner, then left via the night train to Stockholm, en route to Finland.
