POTW 6/3/2012

<p>I'm going to cheat and post a few from the past month. I struggled to get enough of an internet connection to post these from some pretty remote places.<br>

I'll start with two views over the Naryn River in Kyrgyzstan:<br>

<p>What a great start Henk, thanks.<br>

The soft portrait lens at its strongest setting :-)</p><div></div>

<p>Soon I have enough shots for a small publication about vegan food choices.</p><div></div>

<p>a late Breakfast </p><div></div>

<p>A couple more from Yellowstone. The water in the pools there is colored by microorganisms, not minerals. First is the one that's called Morning Glory.</p><div></div>

<p>Second one. I forget exactly where this was (gimme a break, I took close to 700 photos).</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos,like pic of Morning Glory with ton of solid misticism .<br>

First on from the Gulf </p><div></div>

<p>second cover activity from same place</p><div></div>

<p>last pic</p><div></div>

<p>Haven't posted in a while. All with my K-7 and FA35.</p><div></div>

<p>Curious about DOF at f2, so set focus to minimum, put it on a bench with the lens cap under the lens, and shot. Kinda like the result.</p><div></div>

<p>B&W conversion and slight tweaks in LR 3.</p><div></div>

<p>Great pics evryone. Dave that pool would be Grand Prismatic. If you had climbed the hill behind it you would have gotten a grand view of Grand Prismatic.</p>

<p>Many large cities have a mix of old & new heritage but nowhere is it more apparent than beautiful Montreal.</p>

<p>While I was waiting for my grandsons team to take the field I saw a couple of birds entering and leaving this hole.</p><div></div>

<p>I went for a walk last evening just before dark</p><div></div>

<p>Here's my flower of the week.<br>

Markus I like the soft glow on your flowers </p><div></div>

<p>We have had a terrible week here in Thunder Bay. A sewage plant failure caused hundreds of basements to flood. Many people without insurance or the appropriate insurance to cover damages. Lots of homes will be lost. However, the high water levels have made our waterfalls even more amazing.<br>
