JCC Post your photography.

I went hiking with some friends yesterday, here's some of my best stuff:

 

That's a beautiful spot, CT1138. Where is it?

 

Thanks! It's a little spot called Matthiessen State Park, about a mile south from Starved Rock State Park in Illinois.

 

Was visiting Poipu Beach, Kauai and saw some of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen.

 

Just finished 5 weeks of training in Philadelphia... and spent a weekend in NYC and DC too:
















Now on to DC, my favorite of the 3 (I'd like to know why the Treasury Department was blasting "Killing Me Softly" at 2am)

 

^^^^


Awesome pics!!

 

DC continued (including seeing the Korean War memorial at night, very creepy)







Manhattan:
(including finding the names of Shawn Nassaney, my cousin's friend and next-door-neighbor, who died with his fiancé Lynn Goodchild on the second plane to hit the WTC,
and inside the American Museum of Natural History)

 

You should show those last pics to some football players who don't believe dinosaurs existed.

BTW, the pictures are very lovely.

 

From a recent trip down to Kamloops and Kelowna and Lake Okanagan



Capellano Park

and its famous suspension bridge


Canadian Parliament chamber at House of Commons in Ottawa


Senate chamber


HoC Library


Niagara


Sunset on Hawaii


This ancient but very well restored paddleboat takes mainly older folks on nice cruises along the Fraser river; I bought my parents, pictured, tickets for their anniversary last year


Few pics of downtown Moscow, from my trip back to the Motherland with mom couple years ago, to work out some family business





I have to say, some people grumble about the mayor, Sergey Sobyanin, who took over back in 2010; but, the city looks AMAZING. Never seen it so bloody CLEAN before. No trash thrown about, all over the place. And not a single homeless alcoholic anywhere... Yes, these are more upscale areas and police do not allow the riffraff here, and it is cleaned better than in other places, the top levels of Coruscant, so to speak lol But, still... I remember our own neighborhood, used to be a very, very different place... I remember literally stepping over passed out drunks and addicts on my way to school. Gone. All of that. Gone, like erased with a plastic eraser. Crazy... Looks like a nice European city now. Gotta give Sobyanin the credit he deserves here....

BTW, when I first read the title of this thread, I thought it said "Post your pornography" lol I was like, I thought this was supposed to be a "family-friendly" forum

 

LOL! Really? I can't decide if that's better or worse that people who insist that there were dinosaurs on Noah's ark.

 

New Hampshire (including Mount Washington), Marblehead and Salem Massachusetts, and Providence Rhode Island during WaterFire:

 

I love photography! Especially of people... I'm antisocial at my core but I feel doing photography of other people helps me to overcome/deal with it, etc.

So, here's a few of my favorite shots over the past year or so.

 

Compressing images indeed often does lessen their impact for a viewing but this one above is AWESOME!!!!!!

Love the DOF on this shot!

My fave of the ones you posted,love the feel it evokes.

 

So just before 2017 ended there was this event called "Comiket", which is short for Comic Market. Known for being the biggest marketplace event for fan-created comics, and the biggest gathering of cosplayers. Here's some of my favorite shots from the event:

 

Close to the north end of Rt 95, looking west at Mt Katahdin, tallest mountain in Maine.

 

This past weekend there was another great event, called Tokyo Auto Salon. It's a showcase/exhibition for customized autos and their makers/manufacturers....
