I think it’s a damn shame that some people feel the need to tear things like this down. I despise vandalism. I live in a quiet little beach community and a few assholes decided it would be amusing to use an as yet undetermined explosive to blow up a Port-a-John. Why? Is that a thrill? Wait until they see how thrilling it is to spend a few months in Rhode Island’s Adult Correctional Facility (read “prison”).


Yes, it is unfortunate. I usually take a large bag and collect all their trash as well.

This art of wood had been washed ashore and I was wondering what I could do with it as I do have an ongoing, but not often, driftwood project.

Then I looked closely,,on the bottom a bit to the left I see a dog's muzzle, two eyes, a nose and it is like the dog is hiding in the tree. Up, from the middle leaning to the left I see teeth and finally that hole on bottom on right I see a Ha-Ha smile.


I do see it!

I totally get where you are coming from, Jim. Even when I'm out with
family and friends walking around, I'll see something that catches my
eye and I'll stop, change perspective, get down on the ground trying
to really "see" the shot...my wife and close friends accept that.

Came across a good quote on solitude: "There is a world of difference between solitude and loneliness, though the two terms are often used interchangeably. Solitude is a state of being alone without being lonely and can lead to self-awareness."

Thanks Roadrunner for hosting this challenge. I believe it will be an interesting one.

I like your shot here of some one just enjoying the time and relaxing..

One thing I find solitude in is Flying although hard to believe but YES it can be peaceful and quiet at times.

And also busy with cockpit management.


pg 2 nice ones Bob!

Solitude, MMmmmmm yes indeed Rr, there is no other way
I tried taking my partner with me many years ago she complained
That I was embarrassing here stopping then laying on the ground and taking far too long
Just press the shutter button and lets go
That was the last time some 20 years ago, never again
I shoot on my own, edit on my own then create on my own
Maybe that is why now I live on my own haha
When I shoot I need to think and take my time, can only be done in solitude
Working the work can take hours sometimes days or weeks, can only be done alone
Then the work is shown too all whether they like it or not and the solitude ends
Until the next shot is taken
Solitude, MMmmmmm yes indeed Rr, there is no other... (show quote)


pg 2 Simon, I'd say you've outdone your self here. Love the progression.....

Thank you for a wonderful challenge, here is a quote I think just nails it perfectly and a sample of my solitude....


Love it HwG! We bought kayaks this summer and I am dying to take my camera out - but I'm so worried I'll drop it in the water! How to you store your camera equipment while on the kayak?

I carefully wrap it in Plastic seal bag...Take it out when I think I'm fairly safe...It is a challenge, for sure!
