I am partial to the one from Cocoa Beach looking over the Banana River, behind that restaurant, the name of which I cannot remember, but I liked the food. I took a similar shot many years ago.
The boardwalk pic is on the wall in the concession shop.
Thanks! It was the bottom left one that stole the fish I mentioned. I lured them out with m oist kitty treats and took their mug shots as they appeared. My camera (Canao AE-1) was on a bean bag in the parking lot, the kitty treats on the sidewalk.
I have very few sunsets, but people always seem to think my sunrises are sunsets. It's nice to have another early riser posting!
Where exactly is this? I live in Altamonte and would like to explore it.
These cats live in the rocks under the Jetty Park Boardwalk at Canaveral Inlet in Cocoa Beach. It is where the big cruise ships come in to dock and discharge and board passengers. It is also a favorite spot for fishermen and women complete with a fish-cleaning station near the shore end. I watched one guy cleaning a catch and then turning and bending to open his ice chest. When he turned back to the cleaning station, his fish was gone. I saw one of these guys grab it and pull it into the rocks as soon as the guy turned his back. The first pic is self explanatory. The second it a sunrise at Jetty Park Boardwalk.
If he had thumbs, he'd pet my wife - First cat I ever knew to attach itself to one of a family, and just sort of tolerate the rest.
I think a tad smarter than my phone.
I did nothing in post. I was just trying to get his eye while he has slowed down from his normal high speed antics. He chasses and retrieves balls, opens doors both inward and outward, and has a vocabulary that includes things like "look behind the door." He also figured out how to move a door that had a door stop holding it to close to the wall for him to get behind. It is a wooden loon's head, and I put velcro on the bottom to keep it from slipping on carpet. He looked at it for a minute, then grabbed the loon's beak in his mouth and lifted it up, then slid it out and got behind the door. We think he is an evolutionary link. Or maybe a hybrid with some Malinois brains in there.
Round Pixels in the Sony?
This was taken with a Samsung S7, at maybe 4-5 inches.
I grew up in the only county in NYS that was a part of Lyndon Johnson's Appalachia program. It was a very poor and sparsely populated area. My high school graduation class had 34 kids. To date, 19 of them have died either in Viet Nam or as a result of it. The most recent was brought home as a vegetable in 1968 and lived out his "life" in a VA hospital. He finally died in February of this year. I, too, was drafted and know what it is like to be a number, and nothing more. And we continue to send kids to senseless wars, and count them a a casualty, a number. Some of us lived to tell about it. The next time you see a Viet Nam vet, tell him "Welcome Home."
The Nina & Pinta replicas came to Ponce Inlet, at the bottom of Daytona Beach a few years back. I was shooting for some publicity, especially of the grade school classes that went through them. I heard comments like "Nah, they couldn't have come across the ocean in this. It's too small." And it sure looked like that should be the case, and these were full-size replicas. Anyway, it was a beautiful day, and in between tours I just wandered and took shots that I liked. This is one. I particularly like the counter position of the lines from the mast and the clouds above.
Thanks All. Yes I have a multitude of sunrise shots - from the Caribbean to Canada. I lost all the pics I took in Colombia in 1958, so I I can't show those of the north Andes.
Her's one of Ft Lauderdale taken in 2006 with a Canon EOS 5D, f10, 10 sec., ISO 200. I do not recall what lens I was using.
