My favorite African prededator. Ironically, one of its favorite meals is my favorite, African vegetarian: the Spring Bok. We need a few cheetahs, lions, leopards and crocks around here to thin out our deer over population. It seems deer hunting has gone outta style around here. Thanks to ignorance and blood lust, we have no bobcat, coyote and other predators to keep the beaver population down. 'Nuff rambling. Gorgeous creature, that cheetah.
It's a little red for me; nonetheless, it's a wonderful image. Musicians in action and "lost" in thought make good subjects. This closeup is good work.
Nice shot. In years past, I've taken a few sunrise images from the north end of Mobile Bay at the mouth of the river and some including the silhouette of the USS Alabama. But I've not moved further south for any shots. I've taken many sunset images from the east side of the bay, especially from the delightful little town of Fairhope and the quarter mile pier. It is also a grand place to capture lightening over the bay as it typically comes from the west. :-)
For those of you unfamiliar with Chimney Rock, what you see here is the top of the rock. In the near distance you see the peak of a mountain with bare rock. Between Chimney Rock and that mountain is a long valley, far below the top of the rock. From the tourist trap road down in the valley, Chimney Rock indeed looks much like a chimney on the side of a sloped roof. Follow the railed walkway back to the left, it's not far to the visitor center and gift shop. The elevator is actually in the mountain rock back the other side of the gift center. A tunnel was cut from what is now a parking area, well up the mountain. The tunnel goes into the mountain to the bottom of the elevator shaft. The lighting in the tunnel is minimal and makes for a great time-lapse (bulb) photo. The view from the rock looking to what would be the right of this view is very impressive. An internet search engine should bring up some good data on the area.
Also, just to the left of the rock, per the view in this photo and further out over the valley is a rock perched on a ledge called "Devil's Head." From this side it is very easy to understand the name it bears. From down in the valley, the other side of the rock has no particular design. The "face" of the devil's head rock looks out toward the length of the entire valley as if it has some kind of authority over it.
Powerful composition, including the clouds. You certainly pushed the envelope with the Rule of Thirds! The relation of your lens axis to the subject matter is, well, powerful (if I may repeat a word). And the lines: parallel, fanning and forming repeating patterns! Very simple color scheme.
Trust me, "awesome" is a word I use sparingly. When I need a superlative to mean something, it's available. This image has garnered awe from me.
You have very many images here on Fotki. I don't know when I'll get to see them, but I'll try soon. Thanks for sharing.
Pacuare River is such a beautiful place in Costa Rica. It is also famous for white water rafting. Nowadays am planning a tour to this place and would like to enjoy most of the water activities like, whitewater rafting whitewater kayaking, river boarding, etc. Can you me an appropriate cheapest youth travel tour? One of my friends suggests me a trip. Here goes the link: http://www.ekoventure.com/trips/27703. How is it?
My family and I have a lot of great memories from the many train rides that we took on the D & U. The RS36 is an absolute must see for any fan of the Delaware & Hudson or fans of Alco diesels in general. It really is in tip top shape and well worth the trip to see and ride behind.
I'm impressed and thankful. I Googled 1958 ferrari testarosa 250 on whim and came up with a link to this collection of photos. I'm glad that are others with an interest in amazing feats of automotive engineering.
