Your first is spectacular, Jeff, an amazing cool photo.

And a double rainbow, so beautiful, even the man with the umbrella looks special in it.

What a great start of this challenge, my friend.

A picture of me that is a little older. This balloon flew over our house. Shortly before that, he was almost in our garden, stuck between the trees.

Snapped this afternoon at a local park - the result came out better than I expected considering the strong backlight.

Again taken this afternoon but with better lighting conditions. Landed and landing ducks (I was a fraction too slow with the shutter to get them both landing)

Ha Martin, I recognize this scene from The Gaia Zoo. I don't live far away from the park.

A lovely photo for this challenge, and it reminds me I have some pictures made from different scene's in the park aswell :), which could be useful for the challenge now.

dochtersions ( ) posted Thu, 05 September 2013 at 8:35 AM

A down feather, I saw floating in the air.

(Don't know if 'down' is the right translation.)

dochtersions ( ) posted Thu, 05 September 2013 at 8:39 AM

Hi Ilona and Carl, I didn't see your superb uploads.

Again The Gaia park, and I love the Plane patterns;

as your pictures Carl, are spectacular, special your second one.

jayfar ( ) posted Thu, 05 September 2013 at 9:57 AM

That is a 'down' feather Jacomina and it is beautiful.

dochtersions ( ) posted Thu, 05 September 2013 at 10:01 AM

Oh, Thank you so much, Jeff!
(two times :))

Hello to everyone!

I have been absent for quite some time... I hope to be more assiduous!

The images of this challenge are really nice. Congratulations to all of you!

In attachment, fireworks taken in early August in a town near my house. The photo was taken from my balcony. :-)
