Perrty pictures, people. Time to lower the bar.

This was taken in Lucerne (sp) Switzerland. It's still one of my favorite pictures:




And now for something a little more Doorman-ish:





This one was taken by a friend of mine after we had gotten home from a kegger. Upon suggestion I ended up sprinting away from the party with that keg on my back. Now it's an endtable in my apartment.


Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it, and then move on.

I also bought a new camera today, been messing around with it all afternoon. Anyway I took this picture of an outdoor tap, not the most interesting subject but I think the detail is pretty good.

I didn't actually take these pictures, my dad did.



This is the decapitated head of a sunflower, the poor victim of what I call brutal murder, and what others call an unseasonably
strong wind. There's a photo that I think goes with it, of some sunflowers in shillouette, standing around and looking suspicious.
Well, its of some sunflowers anyway. But i think they look guilty.



This is a picture of a bumble bee. Perhaps on the aforseen sunflower before it got killed. Perhaps on a different one.
But the detail is nice.


That would also be... CONDENSATION.

I did not take this but a friend of my mother did down in Florida of the shuttle launch not to long ago.

5 more rocket pictures can be found here.

I can't see the image in your post, Faerie.

Edit: Or, indeed, any of the others, or your avatar!

The space shuttle images in the link are fantastic though, I'm quite jealous.

I unwillingly copied Delphine's Dad, not my fault if bees love sunflowers





Edited to add a last one : taken late last night...



Damn Spider pig

It looks like your brain - on drugs. The good kind.

It's my brain on plain old fatigue and chocolate cake with custard...

I spent the hour-long trip home from a friend's place taking long-exposure pictures of the road ahead... That's all it is. It was 1 am by then, you're allowed to do stupid things like that after midnight
