Those beautiful shots from both, Carin and Lucinda!
I love the depth created within.

BTW, : Lucinda, never have seen clouds in a carwash, but you captured it :)

@Carin   I like the colour contrast of this shot, very warm!

@Lucinda    I agree, beautiful car wash clouds :-)

@Angel    Ya, muchas líneas verticales, y HERMOSA reflejo en el agua verde.

Congratulations to all for the beautiful images included! :-)

I looked in my "photographic archive" some images that matches for this challenge... I hope I succeeded in my intention!

The Elephant Fountain is a monument built between 1735 and 1737 by the architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. It is located in the center of the Piazza del Duomo in Catania. Its main element is a statue of black basalt depicting an elephant, commonly called "u Liotru" and considered the emblem of Catania.
On the back is an Egyptian obelisk of granite, 3.66 meters high.

Beautiful Makron! I love the reflections.

Wonderful Maria!  I've never seen an obelisk on an elephant's back.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend! :-)

Beautiful image, Maria!  Lovely light and clouds.  What a narrow trunk to be so tall!

Lashia ( ) posted Sun, 17 July 2011 at 12:42 AM

@Maria    This reminds me of a black elephant tea pot my sister got me. Beautiful shot, great TAAAALLLL lines :-P

@MC     Love how the picture is saturated in red, makes me think its hot there! Beautiful shot and thanks for spreading the warmth :-)

 

STILL searching for my 3rd shot, good thing we're only half way done the month.

Very nice shots you've made, Christo!!! Great POV, all three.

b.t.w. I have a pair of vertical photo's taken, but unfortunately, I think I've already posted three. "(

emmecielle ( ) posted Sun, 17 July 2011 at 3:23 PM

 We should say to Carin to insert more images, instead of three!  :-)

If I may add this image...it was taken back in May at Tenerife (Canary Islands) on a beautiful morning (as usual !). These are the chimneys (for AC I guess, 'cause they never heat the rooms there...) of a Sheraton hotel. Some postwork in Photoshop (hue and light). Have a good week.

kgb224 ( ) posted Mon, 25 July 2011 at 11:17 AM

Love your upload gaius.

Perfect for this challenge.

God Bless.

Thank you very much , I'm very pleased if you like it.

Lashia ( ) posted Mon, 25 July 2011 at 5:54 PM

@Kgb   High contrast colours in your first shot, great DOF in the 2nd, and I like the lighting and shadows in your third shot, beautiful
@Gonzo   GREAT lines in this bridge shot, so many awesome examples
@Gaius   Glad to see you posted this one! Love the pastels, great colours and lines

 

eep! only 5 days left and I still have my third left! It'll hit me :-) Hopefully I'll get some photo editing in tonight

@ gaius I agree with kgb224 and Lashia. Perfect and great lines!  Congrats on LWIG! 

gaius ( ) posted Tue, 26 July 2011 at 7:32 AM · edited Tue, 26 July 2011 at 7:34 AM

@Lashia and myrrhluz : thank you so much...I was on the terrace of my (cheaper !) hotel at Costa Adeje, looking at these chimneys and thinking "there is a photo ! there is a photo..." When I got back home, I was not very pleased with the photos....but after almost two months (as usual !), I said to myself "this one is not too bad".

dochtersions ( ) posted Tue, 26 July 2011 at 9:39 AM

LOL Gaius : "not too bad"!
Perfect verticals, my friend, also on those 'windows' in it.

Gonzojr, I very much like all those verticals, captured on that stunning bridge-picture.

gaius ( ) posted Tue, 26 July 2011 at 11:14 AM

@dochtersions : thanks Mies, I appreciate. I agree with you gonzojr's photo is excellent.

gaius ( ) posted Tue, 26 July 2011 at 11:21 AM

@kgb224 : thanks much...thanks to you and to the other participants I really feel welcome.

I found another "vertical lines" photo taken back in 2006 in England. This photo, let's call it "Pencils", was taken in the playground of a primary school, where ? I can't remember, maybe not too far from Nottingham.

kgb224 ( ) posted Tue, 26 July 2011 at 12:48 PM · edited Tue, 26 July 2011 at 12:49 PM

Excellent capture gaius. love the pencils. I imagine this is a fence.

God Bless.

A few blades of grass can make the difference maybe? <:)

I do not know for what mysterious reason I have not received the messages of the new entries. 

 

Congratualtions to all !!! Very beautiful images !!!

 

 

Interessante l'eventuale aumento del numero delle foto!

Interestingly the increase in the number of photos!

gaius ( ) posted Wed, 27 July 2011 at 6:40 AM

@ dochtersions : thanks Mies, I'm glad you like it...you should spend some time in France and visit this bambouseraie which is magnificent and very popular (it's crowded in the summertime !).

@ mariogiannecchini : thanks much. To be true, I'm impressed by the quality of your photos...and there are bamboos too where you live !
