For those with other interests (me too) Grimsthorpe Castle, 1720s, by Vanbrugh. Last time I saw a Simca was in "Maigret", and it wasn't one of these. We got in free, of course, the only Renault 12 there. Edited August 1, 2022 by spacecadet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yesterday I had a shoot in an office building across the street from the headquarters of the second largest auto insurance company in the U.S. (GEICO) and so I thought I should grab some snaps of it, who knows, it may come up as a stock need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvallee Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 In the past 4 years, I uploaded every single month. Last month I didn't. 6 sales for $1 was too much for my motivation. I've picked myself up and tried to upload a batch. Unfortunately, my internet connection here in the back of Woop Woop is not good and it dropped after 2 images. So here they are.

Ed Rooney Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) This modern sculpture looks good in Wolstenholme Square in Liverpool, but the high-rise buildings are mostly empty and the square is not being cared for. Our future is fragile in so many ways. Positive expressions on most customers but I failed to get the name of the bistro. I have to go back and find it. Do any of you know this place? Went back and found it today. It's a small unassuming Spanish bar, Spanish Caravan, between Ropewalks and Bold Street.

Avpics Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I've seen many wonderful images of Gotheborg's visit to London, including numbers of drone images which I hope were legal! I like the contrast of the old against the modern skyline of this one. Having posted this image and hovered the mouse over it, I've noticed that the system doesn't recognise the umlaut and has thus renamed the ship Gtheborg. That's something to be aware of.

It's showing on the mouseover on the sales page, it's just missing on the thumbnail URLs. Should be OK for search- the umlaut will just be ignored and the letter treated as an "o". I usually spell the word with "oe" in the tags as well in these cases. Edited August 9, 2022 by spacecadet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a miracle I got some shots at all. There was very little light in that shady creek and the croc was fast.

There was very little light in that shady creek and the croc was fast. I was shooting at high ISO. It would be interesting to know in inches how long the longest teeth are. Getting bit seems like it would be similar to getting stabbed with a few dozen sharp knives. Of course, they rip and roll, I assume, rather than bite in & out. Those are some big-time scary teeth.

I believe that the longest teeth are about an inch long. This specimen is only a small freshwater crocodile but the other specie found in Australia, the saltwater crocodile, has the record of bite force with 3,700 pounds per square inch. They grab you, drag you into the water and drown you rather than shred you to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too like metal sculptures as your images. I came across some last Sunday. I was walking the road route back to my car after walking a section of the Thames Path in Gloucestershire. It was hot and I forgot to pack a hat. Saw them when I diverted for a cold drink in the shade. Photographed but still to upload. I think I remember you uploading some artistic grain silos, they were excellent too. Edited August 12, 2022 by sb photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I had a relaxing quiet afternoon. Took a taxi to the Liverpool Cathedral to do some interior snaps. While there, I had a lovely talk with a female Anglican Priest. Didn't come across a single saltwater crocodile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Gee, Mark -- someone seems to have taken your joke the wrong way. No need for a red arrow, folks. I did walk back to the centre past the arch in Chinatown. It seems that many of the restaurants are still closed. The Asian community here took Covid very seriously. The Shanghai Palace on the edge of Bold Street is open again. I think I'll try that this week. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
