Pictures: something unique / common in your neighbourhood

[Nick]

Nick, we always miss you when you're away.

I've enjoyed your photo very much and for this reason.  
It sets the sun up for special importance with the many horizontal layers and the vertical poles.     Your appreciation for it's natural beauty was an excellent choice.      I'm not an expert on photos, but I do appreciate the many layers of different natural elements captured.     I've counted at least 7 horizontal layers and 8 if I include  the road stripes.     

Haha, the power poles do add a certain lovely aspect to it. I was actually on my way home from LA and I was eating Taco Bell so my mom was driving and I told her she had to pull over so I could take that picture.

It's amazing what you can find hiding in the plants.

Were you busy filming your back yard (again) while Ming cleaned the roof? You are lucky she didn't sweep some fruit on your head!

Those photos are great though! Were they shot with your video camera?

[PK]

Actually Ming was busy teaching the kids class.

Yes, it was with the video camera. thartley inspired me to shoot some extreme close-up shots.

Shot this the other evening. It's a typical sunset along the Mekong River.



A few doors down from the ILC is this new shop. It's a 4D Ultrasound Pregnancy Center and Coffee/Cake shop all-in-one location. Unusual combinations like this are very common here and they almost always involve food. Ex: Law Office and Restaurant. Mechanic and Bakery.

[KitKat]

Wow! thartley those shots are amazing.  Thank you!!   

[Ginafish]

Beautiful! All the way down to your cup!

[Nick]

Great shots. What camera did you use for the moon one and can I have it?

Wow.. this is nice.. I saw the Mekong river while I was at the Golden Triangle last Dec.. but it was during day time

I like this shot too

[pohui]

Think somewhere Iast year I posted some pictures of famous landmarks constructed using biscuits at a shopping mall, days ago was at the same mall and on display they claimed this to be the BIGGEST biscuit on display

[Ginafish]

I can smell it from here! Thank you Pohui! I always enjoy your pictures

Look ma, I made art.

[PK]

Very cool, Mus. Great dimensions and colors. Would make a nice mural on a wall.

[Ginafish]

That is a cool shot of the train station. I don't see anyone in shorts so I wonder if it's chilly? The rustic color makes it feel warm.

[Mus.]

Well fall is coming and it's about 18 C. That's 64.4 Fahrenheit for you europeally challenged. So not that warm.

More quick edits art!



And some random snaps. I used my four-year-old phone's camera, bear with the quality. I don't mean that literally, there's no bears.



I could translate the text on the sign in the last picture but I think it's better when it seems like it tells you to not ski on grass.

[Ginafish]

Bear with me, but what does the reverse of the first picture look like? I can't quite figure out what the black shape is.

Love all the pictures! I tried to pick a favorite, like the bike or the little dock in the water, but then, they are all nice so I couldn't let them get jealous of each other by singling one out.

Thank You Mus!

[Mus.]

Why thank you. Or, you're welcome? Both? Wait, I got confused. Anyway, here be the positive of the negative.

[M3R1IN]

Ive got some stuff to post in this thread tomorrow just so you guys know

[Mus.]

I'll be waiting here with Red Bull and a turtle.

They have a ton of street views in maps.google.com now.  I found one of the house I lived in when I was
in junior high, and just about every other house I lived in in Houston.

[KitKat]

Cool!!  That's a great shot.  LOL   Can you find our house in Aledo on Belle Circle?  lol   And what about the one on Winged Foot in Conroe?
And what about........ and what about........ hehehehe           I know enough is enough, right?   

[Nick]

For some reason they have everywhere around me but not where I live. Even the more remote/outlying areas!

Here's a quick sunrise shot I took this morning with new iPhone (testing out the camera feature):
