Picture of the Week #326 9th - 23rd August 2014
Posted By: Jessesdad, 08-17-2014, 04:51 AM

Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week. This is edition # 326, covering 9th - 23rd August 2014.
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.

Some rules:
1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.
2) 6 or fewer 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, 280 Noelcmn, 281 Noelcmn, 282 Noelcmn, 283 Noelcmn, 284 Noelcmn, 285Alkazalsir, 286 StephenHampshire, 287 StephenHampshire, 288 wolfiegirl, 289 Bucfan1234, 290 nosliwmit, 291 wolfiegirl, 292 wolfegirl, 293 ramseybuckeye, 294 ramseybuckeye, 295 josh-fuggle, 296 mattb123, 297 jcdoss, 298 jcdoss, 299 Papa Lazarou, 300 Bucfan1234, 301 Bucfan1234, 302-noelcmn, 303-noelcmn, 304-noelcmn, 305-noelcmn, 306 noelcmn, 307-atupdate, 308-atupdate, 309 mecrox, 310 mecrox, 311 mecrox, 312 Papa Lazarou, 313 Papa Lazarou, 314 lukulele, 315 lukulele, 316 cif, 317 cif, 318 mecrox, 319 mecrox, 320 pentaximus, 321 pentaximus, 322 pentaximus 323 pentaximus 324 StephenHampshire 325 StephenHampshire

Thanks to Stephen for hosting last week but it sounds as if he's been busier than a few well-photographed bees so I'll take the reigns for this week. Post away with your best shots - but - don't expect his clever and careful comments. I'll do my best to keep us rolling for the moment.

It's been a lean time with the camera but I had to take few shots of one of the churches I've been working for. Simple buildings but always lit up by the stained glass.

Hey, nice pictures, acbc. Love the second one. And there's something in the relationship between the second pic and the dragonfly that brings the movie 'Avatar' to mind. That last one has some cool isolation too. Well framed to use as a cover for music or a book.

Anyone else shooting this week or last? Put 'em up here. It's been a brilliant selection so far but there's room for more.

Now, time to start looking for next week's host. Any takers?

Oh, and that reminds me - we're still waiting for scomatic to tell us what 'it' is.

WOW, what a bumper edition of POTW, a few newcomers-a very hearty welcome, and some awesome shots here as usual. Such wonderful talent to be seen around here! Thanks for hosting Jessesdad. How is Jesse? A contribution from me.
Spring/summer magic, which has arrived early this year.






Zoo Lake, where I do my daily 9km exercise walk.


Just loved the look of the bark on this tree


A message about life


And messing around with some Dandelions again.

This is from earlier in the weekend from the first motorcycle rally I intended. Most of my shots were more people than bikes.

What would POTW be without some of your shots, Stephen? Wonderful. I like all of them but today I am particularly drawn to the pastoral nature of no4. Hogwarts here we come. It's always a joy to see machines that are also objects of beauty and which evoke such powerful memories.

Nice to see you again too, noelcmn. And you're on fire with those shots. Spring has almost sprung here in the land of Oz too - and about time. That last one of the dandelion is very special. You nailed that in every way.

More interesting work, reeftool. They look a very civilised lot. But, bikes on trailers!!! I have never understood that concept.

I have to agree on that re Noel's dandelion, a great shot.....the lady biker and dog from reeftool is a classic!

I also agree on the dandelion. I've seen a hundred dandelion shots including my own, but never seen one quite like that. Great picture.

Yeah, you see more and more trailers everywhere you go. For a 2 or 3 day weekend event, why even trailer the bike at all? It rained most of the weekend. I debated whether to just go in my truck but I wouldn't trailer the bike, just camp and enjoy the time with friends. Going south in the winter is another issue and hauling your bike to at least snow and ice free roads. I ended up riding out in on and off rain showers. Riding home on Sunday, it was beautiful.

It seems like everywhere you go, somebody has a dog on their bike. I saw a guy at the Americade with a macaw which I posted back in June.

Off topic, but... If you're a reader and haven't read Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance I think you'd enjoy it though it does get kind of philosophical.

This has been a fabulous POTW thanks to everyone's shots and chat. Closing off today and - hopefully - we'll have a new host. Catscradle has thrown his camera into the ring. Can anyone tell us if POTW has ever had a 'theme' or is it always open house for images?

Anyway, thanks for playing. It's been fun.

Steve
