Early start for me this Friday. Welcome. Time to show your favorite pic of the week. Looking forward to seeing some more great photos! I'll start with one from Crescent City, CA which is in the very Northern part of the state. Lets see yours!

Uhooru. Is there any grace or merit in valorising alcohol?. I will take the demurrer on your shot. Billbllackwellphotography you continue to deliver unbelievably crisp and contrasty shots. And a good shot michael_levy. But remember Ansels shot was subject to profound manipulation. Still on hols. Keep safe all. And looking 4ward to more images.

Well, going by all the poems and songs about the benefits of drink, "valorizing" drink is a cultural past time. However there could be a different interpretation to this photo that maybe you haven't considered, such as a depiction of the beautiful, sad, ugliness of this liquor store and a statement about a certain no-frills, honest banality in such places that I find interesting and a tale of somewhat marginalized people who spend their money on booze, smokes and lottery tickets.

Bertliang: Where was the barn photo above taken? Nice!

It's in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, off one of the less traveled roads.

So, my contributions. Following a 'holiday' in Tasmania - wet, cold, windy, but exhilarating. The first two are fisher folk, trying to snare a catch at St Helens (gateway to the Bay of Fires), badly focussed - eyesight fails in the declining years. The third is an oyster shucker (food for love) on Bruny Island. The fourth is a woman we had dinner with at Cradle Mountain - she told us of rearing an orphan wombat and the pain of separating from it - when she rarely visits, it is in a wildlife refuge, unable to be re-integrated to nature, it still recognises her, grunts in the way wombats do, and cuddles up still. The final is a glass laden photographer, also out in the morning to capture life. All with M6, 75mm voigtlander lens, FP4, Ilfosol, and scanned. Arthur (apiarist1). And Uhooru - point taken - mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
