TAKE FIFTY SEVEN a

Another week slips by and we are at the Thursday Challenge yet again.  This week's prompt is TRAVEL (pictures taken away from home...)  HAH!  Regulars will know this leaves the scope so wide open for YAM as to be dizzying.  It is just about everything I have.  I am going to limit myself to one thing though.  

It's a bit like pin the tail on the donkey but have settled on this one of the busy intersection outside the Cchatrapati Shivaji Rail Station in Mumbai. 

Taken with the 'Nik' on auto.

Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

A rather handsome cockerel.  Wish I knew more about chicken varieties.  Taken with the 'Nik' on standard auto.

If you have ornithological offerings please link your post here!

The Tuesday Tease

An intrigue in the street below...Royal Mail post van driver is approached by the courier van driver and a conversation ensued, involving much waving of arms and puzzled expressions.  Address unknown???  The postie signed the electronic list and took a box from the courier to place in his own van.

I hope it got where it was meant to!  Taken with the 'Nik' on stealth mode...heheheh

TAKE FIFTY FOUR a

Monday's Critters

Am still delving into the archives, folks.  This freshwater croc is a resident of the Australian Reptile Park on NSW Central Coast.  It was 'snapped' with the Uniden, but on low pixels, so not all that crisp.

SUNdays

The sun falls early over Edinburgh mid-winter.  Taken with the 'Nik' on auto everything.

TAKE FIFTY TWO a

Saturday Symmetry

Somehow the tracery of towers and wires against a grey winter landscape holds an ethereal beauty. I grew up around these things - my father was an Electrical Engineer, ensuring electrification reached all points of the compass!

Taken with the 'Nik' on B&W mode.... another of the 'drive by shootings'.

This early spring Fuscia taken with the 'Nik' on macro mode.

Here we are at Thursday Challenge time again.  This week we are to share LANDSCAPE... got plenty of those oh dear which to choose??? (Remember you can click in each to get a larger view.)  The Indian and UK photos were taken with the 'Nik' and the OZ ones were from the Uniden.

Rice paddies of Himachal Pradesh?

Or its Mountains?

How about some Aussie grasslands instead?

...or perhaps water views?

Perhaps the UK is more your taste?
