Breaking my silence
Originally uploaded by butterfly31

I'm not sure of the bird's type, but it appears to be one that feeds in shallow water, given its long legs. The photograper says, "I see your true colour!"

Nice composition of the row of birds. In the photographer's caption for this photo, he refers to a "SB600", which is a NIkon flash unit that was used to light the seagulls. The picture was taken at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.

Apparently taken at an Indian Temple, I love the unexpected face color against the subtle background colors. And also the captured moment of the child's expression.

A window seat in Rome. As one commenter at Flickr noted, it brings to mind the work of Vermeer. The light is just beautiful.

A decisive moment captured on a Brazilian beach. Very reminiscent of the famous picture by Henri Cartier-Bresson. See the post above for a glimpse of that gem.

People in Dust

This photograph captures my impression of crowded South Asia. Taken in Pakistan following a bull race of some kind, the dust, density and subtle tones are beautiful.

This lovely, peaceful view of the English coast may not be totally natural, in that an HDR program appears to have been used. In any event, the exposures of sea, sun and beach makes for a beautiful photograph.

Something abstract
Originally uploaded by horstgeorg.

The photographer's tags for this picture include "cleaners sticks", which doesn't help explain what this abstract image was a part of. Still, the colors and the lines make it very interesting.

Location unknown. But, the photographer's eye is much in evidence as he or she wandered in this unnamed city.

DSC_653 Elderly Beggar Near Red Square
Originally uploaded by jphimself.

This is a picture of my own, taken in Moscow in July, 2004. To the right of the old woman is the wall surrounding the famous St. Basil's Cathedral at the end of Red Square.

President Putin should be reminded that states with failed economies have seldom achieved wide spread income improvement through the use of repressive tactics. Investors from abroad are reluctant to participate in countries where the stability of the government is largely dependent on the strength of its police. Homegrown entrepreneurs will also not allow themselves to grow too successful. Some have been jailed for such sins.
