Wonderful to see images of locations I will probably not get to. Expands the world.
Yes, photography is a wonderful medium allowing everyone to armchair travel.
Great photos of a beautiful place. But I'm intriqued by the identity of that aircraft. Wondering if anyone can tell us what it is exactly??

the street ones.. beautiful!
I always loved the rustic "feel" of old small town roads and streets.
Sadly, not many left of these in my town :(
Thanks tamalero. "Rustic" always provides great photo opportunities.

Appealing, varied series. Thanks for the tour!
Thank you Linda. I do shoot lots of variety. Probably has something to do with my A.D.D. !
Thanks ebrunner. I was debating whether to crop the top of the second one but decided I liked the perspective it provided. What do you think?
Brazil is a colorful place with lots of photo opportunities. Here are a few I captured while roaming about last Fall.
Some very nice shots Earl. How about a picture of the pub ?
Your bugs are Large Milkweed Bugs. They are in the same order as Assassin Bugs, Hemiptera, but they are non biting Seed Bugs in the family Lygaeidae. Large Milkweed Bugs, Oncopeltus fasciatus, feed on the juices of seeds of Milkweed and some other plants, reducing the number of viable seeds, but otherwise not doing significant damage to the plant.

Going to India next week, Deli, Jaipur, & Agra. Any suggestions of can't miss sites besides the usual? Any thing we should be aware of that travel coordinators wouldn't know?
While at the Taj Mahal in Agra be extremely cautious with the band of monkeys that live around there. They will attack you trying to steal your camera, purses, or anything else you may have. No shiny loose jewelry or equipment hanging around your neck. These are the nastiest most aggressive monkeys I have ever seen. I witnessed one monkey jump on the back of a small Japanese man, grab the camera strap around his neck and drag him over ten feet before his friends rushed to rescue him. The other monkeys surrounded him like a group of thugs in a back street alley. Just challenge them if they approach and don't try to get down on their level and up close to photograph them. It appears that is what they want you to do so they can grab your stuff ! Seriously.

These are really nice shots and they look very colorful and natural. You did well taking and processing them.
Thanks Carol. I am trying to keep my photos as natural looking as possible, but I do love to boost the color saturation and correct the haze factor.
This is my first attempt at using Lightroom on a trial basis. Here are a few random shots I took and ran through the program. I have no idea what I'm doing in PP so I simply adjust things until the photos look good to me. Any C & C on my photos would be most appreciated.

You're right in my wheel house. Noticed the Brown was caught on a terrestrial, what was the yellow fly you used in #3.
I'm moving about 6 hrs North of there.
It was a big streamer which you had to keep moving fast.

:thumbup: :thumbup: great series Jim, I had a fine time looking so you must have had a wonderful day fishing and photographing . Thanks for sharing. #3 WOW!
Thanks for looking Marsdad. It was two full days float fishing, one day wade fishing. I much prefer the float fishing as it's much easier and you cover lots of water. Plus my wife abhors how she looks in those bulky waders !
