POTW #221 - 24 June 2012 - 8 July 2012 Report

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Picture of the Week #221. Thanks to sergiu () for hosting last week. Let's see plenty of great postings over the next week.

This week covers 24th June to 8th July, 2012.

Again same rules as always:

1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.

2) Lets keep it to fewer than 6 images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big each week.

3) Any Pentax camera or Samsung SLR is fine, whether it's film, P&S, or DSLR.

4) Enter anything you shot last week or during this current week until the thread closes.

5) The current host will appoint the new host as an invitation via Private Message (PM). If possible, the new thread will be linked to the previous one and the new thread will start between Noon EDT and 5PM EDT on Sunday. If the thread doesn't start, please contact bluestringer, Moderator via PM.

Here are the links to previous POTW threads:

Nice colors! What are your thoughts on the Shard? What about Londoners in general?

Well there is a big hoo-ha about the Shard. Local communities contested,however the Qataris got the go-ahead to build it. It's the tallest building in Europe at 310 meters; however it does not look that tall. I presume it is because it tapers towards the top. It will become a tourist hotspot; however they will be charging just under £26 to get to the top. That is ridiculous considering they charge around 15 Euro / £11 to go up the Eiffel Tower. Then there are the conspiracists who believe this is an Illumanate building. Google it.. It’s quite ridiculous.

I haven't been able to post many photos lately, focused on getting a nursery ready for a new baby girl, but I just finished up a short vacation with some friends from away. A short collection of pictures.

Congratulations on the new addition! Fantastic puffin shots. Someday I hope to get out to Newfoundland myself.

Thanks. Hell of a job to take them actually. All the puffin shots were taken from a boat on a "Calm" day. Alot of rolling around on the water. Most of the shots were basically tossed and all of them cropped and rotated. All taken with a M 200 f4 using zone focusing.

Low Gap fireworks from 3-4 miles away and 750-800 ft above near the Blue Ridge Parkway plus a few from some Parkway hiking.

A bit of a gathering early yesterday morning. About 20 Cockatoos all congregated in my backyard.
