Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week. This is edition #287 covering 27 October to 10th November 2013.
Sorry to be a bit late starting this week, no-one has volunteered to do this one so I am carrying on for another week! POTW is a great spot to show off any shots you take in the upcoming week, or last week that you haven't processed until now. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.

Same rules:
1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.
2) 5 or less images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big.
3) Any Pentax or Samsung camera, film or digital.

The current host will invite a new host 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 records of previous POTW threads: 1 Peter Zack, 2 Eaglerapids, 3 rmtagg, 4 Peter Zack, 5 daacon, 6 Bramela, 7 mtnbearhug, 8 dantuyhoa, 9 gawan,10 roentarre, 11 daacon, 12 Kris, 13 mtnbearhug, 14 SCGushue, 15 daacon, 16 maxwell1295, 17 dantuyhoa, 18 daacon, 19 maxwell1295, 19(2) daacon, 20 Bramela, 21 Syb, 22 maxwell1295, 23 maxwell1295, 24 dantuyhoa, 25 Gawan, 26 Peter Zack, 27 borno, 28 daacon, 29 gawan, 30 Damn Brit, 31 maxwell1295, 32 maxwell1295, 33 dantuyhoa, 34 daacon, 35 Peter Zack, 36 Damn Brit, 37 Borno, 38 Kevint, 39 Peter Zack, 40 Timbo13, 41 daacon, 42 daacon, 43 gawan, 44 dantuyhoa, 45 daacon, 46 Rense, 47 daacon, 48 Rense, 49 borno, 50 Rense, 51 daacon, 52 Peter Zack, 53 Peter Zack, 54 dadipentax, 55 David Whiteley, 56 planedriver, 57 daacon,58 Bramela, 59 daacon, 60 gawan, 61 virgilr, 62 daacon, 63 RickL, 64 Peter Zack, 65 Peter Zack, 66 Causey, 67 daacon, 68 Bramela, 69 georgeweb, 70 daacon,71 seacapt, 72 daacon, 73 AOski, 74 Rense, 75 eccs19, 76 daacon, 77 xs400, 78 daacon, 79 Bramela, 80 Borno, 81 legacyb4, 82 daacon, 83 gawan, 84 Rense, 85 Peter Zack, 86 davef, 87 davef, 88 xjjohnno, 89 Bramela, 90 Peter Zack, 91 daacon, 92 stevebrot, 93 reeftool, 94 jezza323, 95 oldschool, 96 Iris, 97 Rense, 98 planedriver, 99 xs400, 100 Peter Zack, 101 Netuser, 102 Photolady, 103 Tamia, 104 Irishwhite, 105 Ramseybuckeye, 106 xjjohnno, 107 Bumbibop, 108 JeffJS, 109 Tpeace, 110 Nomad, 111 Photolady, 112 rparmar, 113 Peter Zack, 114 casil403, 115 Tamia , 116 JeffJS, 117 bbluesman, 118 Clou, 119 ruggiex, 120 Jimbow007, 121 jmschrie, 122 VaughnA , 123 pop4, 124 casil403, 125 woof, 126 twitch, 127 stevebrot, 128 ohce, 129 jmschrei, 130 photolady, 131 photolady, 132 bbluesman, 133 rparmar, 134 reeftool, 135 reeftool, 136 Oldschool, 137 xjjohonno, 138 KarenH , 139 Rense, 140 daacon, 141 Tamia, 142 JeffJS, 143 bbluesman, 144 fotaki, 145 fotaki, 146 Woof, 147 Bramela, 148 Bramela, 149 Tamia, 150 Nomad, 151 Clou, 152 drugal, 153 rparmar, 154 Nomad, 155 jmschrei, 156 noelcmn, 157 noelcmn, 158 rwfarnell, 159 ramseybuckeye, 160 christophleipzig, 161 JeremytheIndian, 162 SpecialK, 163 emetcalf, 164 emetcalf, 165 stevebrot, 166 rparmar, 167 Mattt, 168 JeffJS, 169 jmschrei, 170 fotaki, 171 xs400, 172 TOUGEFC, 173 TOUGEFC, 174 Warped, 175 MaryAD, 176 Davidw0815, 177 baro-nite, 178 baro-nite, 179 pentaximus, 180 lukulele, 181 lukulele, 182 rob 1234, 183 lukulele, 184 lukulele, 185 pentaximus, 186 ramseybuckeye, 187 ramseybuckeye, 188 StDevious, 189 Free Soul, 190 Clou, 191 brvnara, 192 pentaximus, 193 Noelcmn, 194 Noelcmn 195 GmcarsMAN, 196 jmschreii,197 wolfiegirl, 198 xjjohnno, 199 Arn , 200 Peter Zack, 201 bluestringer, 202 cif, 203 Rollsup, 204 noelcm, 205 Davidw0815, 206 Davidw0815, 207 cif, 208 ramseybuckeye, 209 paulh, 210 Oldschool, 211 SpecialK, 212 mecrox, 213 pentaximus, 215 bramela, 216 jmschrei, 217 Exandr, 218 Noelcmn, 219 Noelcmn, 220 sergiu, 221 sergiu, 222 sergiu, 223 sergiu, 224 sergiu, 225 sergiu, 226 sergiu, 227 sergiu, 228 Davidw08, 229 reeftool, 230 reeftool, 231 cif, 232 mecrox, 233 mecrox, 234 glennbp, 235 glennbp, 236 pentaximus, 237 pentaximus, 238 pentaximus,239 Paul, 240 Nick Nero, 241 Arnold, 242 Arnold, 243 Arnold, 244 Arnold, 245 Nick Nero, 246 ramseybuckeye, 247 ramseybuckeye, 248 Douge, 249 Douge 250 Douge, 251 Dr Orloff, 252 lukulele, 253 lukulele, 254 nosliwmit, 255 nosliwmit, 256 nosliwmit, 257 casil403, 258 casil403, 259 Davidw0815, 260 Davidw0815, 261 ruggiex, 262 ruggiex, 263 mecrox, 264 pentaximus, 265 pentaximus, 266 SpecialK, 267 SpecialK, 268 filoxophy, 269 mecrox, 270 mecrox, 271 mecrox, 272 Paleo Pete, 273 Paleo Pete, 274 geomez, 275 geomez, 276 geomez, 277 mecrox, 278 mecrox, 279 mecrox, Noelcmn, Noelcmn, Noelcmn, Noelcmn, Alkazalsir,286 287StephenHampshire

Here are a couple to start off, from Lyme Regis in Dorset here in the UK

[dave kitson]

Thanks for doing the honours again, I like that last image of the breaking wave.

I managed to take an hour out to play with the new toy on Sunday, and took some images at the 'Deutsche Soldatenfriedhof' on Cannock Chase close to where I live,

I can never pass this place without thinking 'what a waste'.

Thanks for Round Two Stephen,
Yesterday's hike and this evenings wavy sunset over our Interstate Highway intersection.

[ramseybuckeye]

Thanks for hosting and getting this off to a good start, followed by good contributions from Dave and Luke. I'm already noticing themes of water, fall trees, and cemeteries.

[SpecialK]

Dia de los muertos...

[noelcmn]

Thanks for hosting Stephen, and already a super batch of photos- Like your boats and that curve on that Pier?? is superb.
Dave, I agree-what a waste. Like that last one of yours.
Lukelele- what lovely Autumn colors. At my weekly Pastors fraternal today, where we have one that has lived in the USA for many years, it was mentioned that the autumn colors in some (though I'd guess most) parts of the USA is unbelievable. You certainly confirm that view.
And the same applies to Tom's shots-Nice double take on "fallen" there Tom.
SpecialK-talk about a riot of color. That madam with the pumpkins on her head is gonna have a cranked neck any minute now . Did you attend the Johnny Ramone Tribute which I read about :Johnny Ramone Tribute to Be Hosted by John Waters - The Hollywood Reporter
Steven-A matching wave for that of Stephen's-Hope that last one is NOT your garage- cause then I'll be feeling pretty good about the state of mine .

Visited the James Hall Museum of Transport (Introduction James Hall Museum of Transport, Johannesburg, South Africa) on Saturday and found these 2-and a flood of memories arrived. These are "township" cars, township being a reference to the apartheid days, when non-whites were plonked into a geographical area, usually a good few kilometers from the major cities, and called townships. As a matter of interest, the famous Soweto, is actually an acronym for South Western Townships. Economic deprivation and excessive transport costs (basic tenets of apartheid) dictated that we made our own toys-and these wire cars were immensely popular, and I recall making a few of these in my young days. Except the first one has pretty decent wheels- whereas the ones we made were shoe polish tins, and as can be seen in the 2nd pic, larger cars and trucks made use of bigger polish tins-Sunbeam is a floor polish and/or what we know today as soft drink cans. As seen here, old rusty biscuit tins came in handy when you wanted to build a pick-up. And if you drove these well over the ridiculous speed limit the lids and bodies of these polish tins separated, and then you had a cacophony. Imagine a few boys running down the street with those things. Those long steering wheels were to die for in those days.





Ok enough nostalgia- this crane fly decided to hang under the hob of the oven-I cranked my neck trying to get this-no chance for a tripod. Time: 10:03 Pm. I shoot crane flies at that time of the night

[ramseybuckeye]

I really liked the view on the read of these highly polished granite slabs:



Here's the front of the monument:

Here are two of the images captured with a K-x in a local park.

Thanks for hosting again, Stephen. I'm enjoying the spectacular photos so far this week, esp the Fall themed ones. Here's a few recent ones - we're finally seeing something resembling Fall color here....

[bucfan1234]

Great shots so far! Love all of the fall colors.

I hope not to ruin the fall vibe by posting something different but here is a film shot from a recent outing with a very old rangefinder.

Many thanks for hosting again, Stephen. Super images again this week, very colourful. particularly the autumn/fall ones. I love that scooter with the Who colours on the helmet, and all the monochrome images, too. Here are a few of mine, landscapes this week. The weather has been perfect for a last few trips to local spots with good views while there are still leaves on the trees and the sun clear in the sky rather than hidden in wintry clouds.

Very nice series. The fourth shot is great. i can almost sense what it would be like to walk that path to see the view that lies just around that last bend, and I imagine that to be your fifth shot, which is equally impressive.

Thanks! Yes, You are quite right. Just a couple of thorn trees on the peak of the hill.
