Admirable scenes, Stevecim, Jcoffin and Greg. : )

Very variable weather conditions all round the World. Some frosty beauties in some parts while mild waterscape scenery in others. The diversity is amazing.

Enjoying them very much personally since we are far from getting any snow or frost in Istanbul. : )

We had fog since morning and it's clearing just a little bit right now. Same scene, same fog, different date. : ) I have plans to shoot around the city too, I promise.

Wonderful weather scenes everyone, but an extra doff of the cap for Jcoffin's frost scene - bravo! Encore!

Looking forward to your street scenes Yildiz - its seems a long time since you have taken us all through the streets of Istanbul. Talking about street shooting, I haven't noticed Henry about for some time. Is he off on a trip?

[Greg Beetham]

Wow still with the pea soupers I see Yildiz, but you are doing some nice scenes with it just the same.
I seem to recall there was loose promise made in conjunction with Istanbul and some walk around snaps some time ago...
Greg
Ps. Yes I'm sort of missing Henry as well, he might feel a little self conscious about using his Canon and posting pix taken with it, seeing as how he doesn't have a fully serviceable Sony...just a guess.

Yes, I repeat that I love the latest shots of our members very much also.. : ) Very refreshing..

I'll be happy to realize the town walk myself Birma. I hardly used the camera efficiently in the last couple of months unfortunately.

I miss Henry as well. I thought we all came to the agreement that it was no problem that he was shooting with no Alpha camera and that we liked seeing his photos all the same. I hope that he's only on one of his 'on-the-spur-of-the-moment' trips and nothing is wrong with him.

Charlie is also missing with his gorgeous mountain shots. I hope he also is fine. His mountains must be getting some snow and skiers for sure. : )

Yes, you caught me right there in my guilt pangs on photography, Greg. It was a busy summer for me and not so enjoyable one either. It could have been better but local small matters kept me from doing many things that I usually do around town. I think I have a better chance nowadays...

We may have pea soupers for a couple of days more but I'll see if that can contribute to my town shots...

Wooooooooooooooooow, wonderful shots today.

[jcoffin]

Thanks for the kind words Birma and Yildiz. I really appreciate them. At the risk of sounding conceited (since he didn't mention them directly), I'll say thanks to Dr. Harout too! Given how cool Yildiz's latest picture is, he could very well be talking about that. I certainly think it merits a "wow!" anyway.

[Dr. Harout]

Jerry, i meant yours and Greg's too.
If I had to pick just one it would've been hard for me to decide which is best, yours (the top of the tree) or Yildiz's shot.

[Greg Beetham]

Well how about that, I missed that last frosty one somehow jcoffin, very Christmassy looking, I bet it's as cold as it looks, and yes those mountains of yours are stubborn with the mist and fog alright.

Hi Jcoffin, : )

When truth prevails there's no conceit involved. Your photos as well as the other wonderful ones are getting that memorable 'wow' from Dr. Harout.
My photo can't compete with any of those great shots. It's just a 'weather shot' showing what it would be like on the Bosphorus in Istanbul. But still a big 'thank you' to all of you. You're too kind. : )

Keep sending them!

Yildiz, don't be so modest. Your shot can easily beat any other in many many competitions.
At least, I would definitely vote for it (so try to find a competition where I'm a jury member)

It's a deal, Dr. Harout!

Thank you. One vote in my wallet...I'm pretty rich for it. : ))

It’s been raining all day on and off, the poor old Hibiscus looks all waterlogged, I think it even affected my balance.

Not the fastest bridge builders, but it's quality that counts...right?

The dog walks on the footpath and the owner walks on the edge of the road.

Aaaah, Spring. Enjoy it Greg, enjoy it...

[Birma]

Well Greg, you do live near a rain forest .

Lovely spring pictures. They are certainly taking there time on that bridge. How long has it been now? Over a year?

[aster]

Hi Greg, : )

Lovely refreshing flower shots under the loads of rain drops..The Hibiscus indeed looks beaten but will recover short after I'm sure.

I can't quite outline the bridge from this far. But quality matters and if that's what Townsville is going to get then worth the wait. : ) With those cranes, though, the whole construction looks awfully important.

Good find of the tactful dog and his straying owner. Sweet irony; rules were made for men only to be broken but to be followed meticulously by the animal friends, it seems.

Great little passages from around the town.

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz
