Helping Hand

This is not actually a junk yard!

At Chump Car 2011, the man who drove the crane truck was very helpful when not needed to get broken vehicles off the track. He lifted this car on and off a raised area so the team could work underneath it more easily. Beautiful image with the setting sun in the background.

Peacock

Wandering around Toulouse, France, we found a beautiful park... with peacocks and peahens, just wandering around! What wonders you find in a milder climate. :)

Little Lizard

This adorable little one is just tiny. Wish I'd had a macro lens back then! Or at least taken the time to use the macro setting on my camera.

Classic car

I love classic cars, and here is another one that has been beautifully restored.

And the dash - so simple, clean, gorgeous!

View from La Romieu

Yesterday I showed you the doorway to a flight of narrow stairs. Well, I DID climb (and descend) those horrible stairs, and I was rewarded with this view, about half way up. (The mesh around the top spoiled my pictures, but the view was incredible.) It's really beautiful countryside.

Tiny Passage

The picture isn't straight. I'm not up to fixing it right now. Let's move on.

This small doorway to a small, narrow, tall, twisty stairway is in a stunningly beautiful church in La Romieu, France. The church was built before Europe knew there was a "new world". Walking on stones laid so long ago was an amazing experience.

Young Deer

On Flickr I captioned this one "What big ears you have..."

I was the passenger, and this little one was on the driver's side. Taken in Jasper National Park.

Tips from the pros

I haven't posted an outside link in ages! Here's a good one. (15) Photography Tips That 96 Photographers Wish They Would Have Learned Sooner. (The title makes the article sound scary, but it is boiled down to 15 fairly concise tips.)

Flower Stairs

I guess they must use the backdoor now.

Limos!

These limos mark one end of a salvage yard. Very creative! I like the dark sky with the (mostly) white limos.
