Here’s a fall color shot that reminds me of a Monet painting. This shot was taken this past Monday by redow in the Missouri Ozarks along the spring branch of Alley Spring. It looks like the part of the country where my mom is from in Southeastern Kentucky.

There is something so visually arresting about this photograph. Sure, it’s nothing more than a simple blue bike leaning against a yellow wall, but for whatever reason it’s actually a whole lot more. Perhaps it’s because bikes are strangely photogenic. And, of course, we just all love bright yellow walls, don’t we? So I guess that everything just came together with perfect balance to transform what should be just an ordinary shot into an extraordinary one.
Congrats go out to Damon Green for turning something so very simple into so much more.

Shot by borderfilms (Doug) in Ghana. (See it on flickr!)
Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes it is nice to hear the story behind a photo. Doug, the photographer, says: “Mary runs a little shop in Takoradi, Ghana that I pass each each day on the way to work. There are thousands of little kiosks like Mary’s around the country. They sell the staples: tomatoes, onions, and kenkey… plus the worst red wine ever (still good in a pinch). Mary always has a good story and a big smile. It makes living far from home seem… more like home.”
I would just add that I like the way the plastic bag blends in with the light. Makes me want to say something profound about the future and windows of opportunity, but I will spare you my Monday blues. That is, after all, the beautiful thing about photography. You don’t have to say anything.

Well, if this isn’t just the prettiest cemetery you’ve ever seen!
Was there an Easter Bunny massacre or something? I don’t know about you, but such frilly, girlie gravestones would be an affront to my manhood and if anyone places such a thing six feet above my prone body, consider yourself haunted.
That being said, hats off to Rambling Traveler for spotting such an odd place in Guatemala and capturing it on film for the rest of us to enjoy.

If landscape were desserts, I’d gobble this one up in a moment.
I’m not sure why “yummy” comes to mind when I look at this photograph taken by Ylwstonegirl98. Perhaps it’s the soft light and pink tones. Or the pleasing way it stirs my soul–a place located not so far from my stomach.
Whatever the reason, I think you all will agree that this is truly an outstanding shot of Oxbow Bend in the Grand Tetons, Wyoming. And, I’m sure Omnipotus would simply love it.
