Angel of the North, Newcastle, shot by ourmanwhere.
Bold shot straight into the sun, very a propos for an angel shot. I like the deep blue of “heaven” against the plain black of “earth”, or “hell” depending on your view of this world. The “little people” at his feet are a nice touch.

I love the simple, Zen nature of this photograph by OurManWhere. At first I thought he might have just tilted the camera, but if you look closely at the trunk of the tree, it comes out of the earth at one angle, and then slowly compensates for its unexpected location on the side of a hill somewhere in England’s Lake District. Isn’t nature just grand?

Ah yes, the old hand painted political slogan on the side of a building. This particular one happens to be San Juan Cotzal, Guatemala. I just love the way the colorful slogan, so very amateur in nature, contrasts almost cheerily against what must surely be a very poor residence in some godforsaken town.
Congrats go out to Sir Isaac Lime for capturing an election in its most primitive form–something so very refreshing compared to what we are currently dealing with here in the United States.

There’s a part of me that hates when summer is over until I think about the fall days up ahead that will look like this one. Not quite like this one–this is on the Snake River in the Grand Teton National Park, a far piece from Ohio. I love the soft dreamy quality of the reflections in the water contrasted with the brittle look of the foliage. The kayakers are the transition between the two. Very cool. Looking at this also makes me feel still, calm and golden. Great job, Bonne Bowne! She took this one the end of September. If you go to the Grand Teton set, you’ll find scads more she’s taken over the last few years. Stunning.

From one of the meccas of adventure travelers, Papua New Guinea, comes this photo by Richard Rees taken at a celebration of opening a new school. The girl’s costume is made mostly from fur and feathers…if you can actually notice anything outside of her magnetic eyes.
