    This is the weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Any Brand thread where we invite you to show your own pictures. It is collegial in that it is a pleasant and friendly place among photographers to share.

    I will begin this thread each Monday (Pacific Standard Time) to give each of you all the chance to share your weekend photos with us, for those that follow a regular work week schedule and choose to do it that way. But the pictures can be taken at any time with any camera, including your cell phone. It's open to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. The images posted can be anything from casual snaps to extraordinary. I'll be sure to comment to each of your photos, if you choose to share. Replies from others are encouraged also.

    The intent of this thread to mainly to just show photos in a relaxed way and to generate replies or comments about them. Generally I'm not planning to critique any image unless asked. But I or we may ask things about a photo that may develop into a discussion, always being friendly and helpful. It has been a request that I mention this and from what I've learned from past experience: Can you ask a member first if they would mind you editing their photos?

    Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each. Please share any tips or techniques too. A narrative sometimes also helps. Thanks everyone for your participation.

    Subject: Rainbow

    I was traveling in a car as a passenger and happened to see this rainbow. It was beautiful but it dissipated fast. So I was limited to only a few photos.

    Subject: Trip to California

    On the way to California I took many photos from the car. Here are a few of them, starting in Southern Oregon, reaching the California border and then a few of them of Mt. Shasta and the surrounding area. Mt. Shasta is in Northern California near the I-5 interstate highway. It reaches about 14,179 feet or about 4322 meters high.

    You reminded me. In June I drove across Hungary and had to pull over to take a photo of this rainbow: one of those subjects that requires a lot of luck for success!

    L1002375_b.jpg

    The Tokaj synagogue, destroyed by the Germans.

    Restored, though there are not enough jews there today to make use of it.

    A memorial for the deportation of the jews in 1944.

    What remains of the line that led to Auschwitz.

    David,

    That's a large nice rainbow! I'm glad they restored the synagogue. It's beautiful inside and out. That's interesting that they left the tracks in place, as a reminder of the horror of the holocaust.

    Thatá a lot of nice photos guys👍
    Bit busy on my side at the moment so almost forgot the photos 😁
    The weather was greyish, but dry so we went out for a hike close to home
    Visited Boswachterij Smilde near Hoogersmilde, used the wandelknooppunten (hiking nodes) network again for a nice hike.

    Photobygms,

    I like your autumn scenes. In addition to being cloudy, everything looks so cold and wet. It's pretty much the same here where we live. Yesterday, we had some sunshine. We have had a little bit of a dry spell. There's a high pressure system out in the ocean holding off the storms. So we are enjoying it for a while.
