<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to everyone. I'm still digging through the post work from a recent day shooting at the Washington DC fire department's training academy. The grounds offer a couple of re-burnable buildings that fill with smoke, debris, and volunteer victims. Here, five members of the US Army Band enjoy a bit of early morning sunshine while waiting for some mass casuality simulation coaching from one of the incident commanders. Musicians or not, soldiers can sleep anywhere, anytime. What snoozed in front of your Nikon gear this past week? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>A peaceful start of the day at Seagull Lake on the Gunflint Trail in Northeastern Minnesota. Taken about an hour after sunrise.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday!</p><div></div>

<p>Too!</p><div></div>

<p>I was out taking fall pictures and this squirrel decided to pose for a while ...</p>

<p>Wednesday greetings! Matt, there's an intriguing surreality to that scene, as though looking down on miniature characters in some sort of tableau. Rich Johnson: breathtaking pristine beauty! I've been out in our gorgeous New England fall, as I'm an unabashed sucker for "stained glass" backlit foliage! I'm posting <strong><em>"Katsura, Luminous"</em></strong>, a nicely side-lit late afternoon scene in a surprisingly well designed and landscaped cemetery, that looks like an Olmstead park.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Wednesday, everybody! <br>

I took this photo of the fall colors along US Route 395, in Eastern Sierra mountains.</p><div></div>

<p>The past two weeks, Linnanmäki Amusement Parkin Helsinki had the "Carnival of Light" with free entrance to the public, with lights, theatre, circus performances, music, dance, and finally fireworks. However, it was raining most of the time ... Here are a few pics of the performers of Sirkus Aikamoinen when the weather was still decent.</p><div></div>

<p>Juggling balls...</p><div></div>

<p>And finally the hoop.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

This one was taken this afternoon in parc St.catherine in Quebec</p><div></div>

<p>Vicky said that her image on the camera's LCD looks better than what she sees in the mirror. High praise for Nikon! Sorry, Canon. :-)<br>

<p>The Autumn shades in the UK are very vivid this year but not much sun to make them shine - but when it does it makes me realise what a great hobby photography is.</p><div></div>

<p>Arlington National Cemetery, recently.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings Nikonians wherever you are in the world! A good Wednesday to everyone. My picture this week was taken with the risk of limbs and life, more or less...You can’t see it from the picture, but the rocks were very slippery near the waterfall. Anyway, it all went well and I got some shots of the waterfall before the sun disappeared behind the mountains.</p><div></div>

<p>A little fall color in my front yard. Of course, when I'm done admiring the leaves I have to pick them all up...</p><div></div>
