Your trun now

[MrApollinax]

Here is one from last night. I was able to merge three of my favorite things: Jazz Music, Dancing and Photography:

[Rense]

Dave: I like your paper chaos! The second one reminds me of a money-box I had when I was young.... And it forms a nice "bridge" to MrApollinaxes photo!
MrAppolinax: great picture! There is much movement in it, which I like. Love the bokeh.

And here are mine, from last Friday. I posted several more of this series in several threads before..... (parobably I'm shooting not enough, since this series seems to be my only source)

[gawan]

Good start for the new week, thanks for hosting Dave!
I like the paperish subjects, the last is a Pisa of the paper towers
MrApollinax, I like the violinist, it shows movement!
Rense that flying ducks photo is great and humorous too!

Rense that flying dicks photo is great and humorous too!

I hope you meant ducks?????? You make it even more humorous! But the birds are geese.....

[Peter Zack]

I hope you meant ducks??????

ROTFLMAO

[daacon]

Wow Georg that was a primo typo (and I will not quote it so you change it haha - although Rense already has it )

Here's something from Sunday morning.

Aaaah, I am sinking in the lowest... I really am ashamed now. Meant ducks!!! My wife is laughing, I am not, maybe tomorrow. Please forgive me my bad language! I knew something like this would happen some day, with my otherwise odd but ignorant English.

Anyway, guys, I thank you for noticing and taking this as a involuntary joke and not judging me too badly..

[Rense]

Dear Georg, I think I speak for everyone when I say you should not be ashamed! You made us laugh, it was quite funny!

For myself: of course I'm not judging you for anything! It was just too much asked not to make a joke of it. Hope you will not be offended!

[gawan]

After the latest let's have something not too cheerful — a darkish rock.

For myself: of course I'm not judging you for anything! It was just too much asked not to make a joke of it. Hope you will not be offended!

Thank you! And yes there was no judging at all! I was just rhetoric. You can see that I am already recovering...

To all - awesome shots last week - off to a nice start again.

Wow good start all

MrApollinx - nice I like the blur motion, the BW conversion and the hint of an audience in the background well done.

Rense - Thanks for the comments. Nice isolation on the Benches and what scared all the Geese ?

Frank - I like the grain in that one - I see a close cousin was entered in the New and Old contest - a good idea.

Georg - thanks for the comments. The ribbing it's all in good fun I have spoken and witten english all my life and have made simialr typo's no worries - soemtimes I type a word so badly spellcheck gives up or changes it to something completly meaningless in the context it was meant.

Nice shot I am always amazed at where trees can grow - they don't need much (unless of course you have one planted in your backyard then it will die haha)

Ken - nice seires what is #3 ? I like them all actually.

smf - ahh either of those would have been a good entry.
