Here we are all you Ugly Hedgehogs, and I mean that in the most complimentary way, it's another Free Sunday. I'll kick it off with a few shots that didn't get posted last week, but don't let that influendence what you post. It's you oportunity to think for yourself and post what you want. I'll look forward to it.
I'm bummed that the photographers name(lower right) that the Marine Memorial is based on got cropped from this shot.

A path to a contemplation seat, the contemplation seat and the natural stone step access from below through a gate coming up to the contemplation seat.
I grabbed a shot of Sam the other day - the sun was behind him and I accidentally overexposed with an f/2.8 setting but was able to salvage the image by converting it to a high key B/W.
I found these out in the yard after a rain.

Here is an orchid. I found that the University of Wyoming's Botany Department was accessible and had great specimens.

I thought I would try and add a couple of my favorite B&W shots. Have a great Sunday everyone.

Those two first cool shots are memorials. Maybe this touristy snapshot from my P/S Canon G7X-II shows a different sort of memorial. Taken at the Space And Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, it pictures the business end of the last Saturn V rocket built, intended for a mission that was ultimately cancelled. The other end is about 350 feet off to the left. Barely visible off in the corner at right stands a V-2 rocket, designed in WWII times. It is not as tall as the Saturn beast is wide. Thus, in this photo we can see the effects of technological advancement in rocketry in the short span of only about 20 years. So, maybe this is a memorial to the onrush of technology. We can also see how young kids are less than impressed with artifacts of the past: witness a red hat that some kid or other tossed up into the exhaust nozzle of one of the engines. The Saturn was/is a mighty machine, an engineering marvel, and my tiny contribution to it all those years ago kept me โoff the streets and out of troubleโ, as my mother might have said.

Nice presentation, 1776. Although I think all I would be contemplating would be how uncomfortable that seat was๐๐๐
