Very David Lynch.

Yes, a lot to ponder here and an interesting blurb, even if slightly out of character.
What an amazing set although the first blows the others away. Gorgeous photo. The last is nice too.
That's maybe why my outbox is so cluttered, because I never remember to remove stuff I've previously posted.
Urban Crossroads
Departing downtown Toronto and heading West...
I like these behind the scenes shots from other countries.
Humans above humans.
Again, clearing the clutter from my outbox and these seemed to have something in common.
This is well spotted.
A slice of Turkish life.

Football reigns as the most beloved sport in the country, while tea is the drink of choice, with Turkey leading the world in tea consumption by a significant margin.
Interesting shot to life of locals.
But I’m not at all surprised about this tea being drink of choice, considering the taste of turkish coffee 😀
Tithe Barn
Still much too hot to think about doing any photography here.
Near to where we were staying in Newent, on my recent holiday in the UK, I came across this Tithe barn in a hamlet called Hartpury. It is in a bit of a sorry state. The Bee shelter in the churchyard was pretty cool.
Sad to see those mangnificent and built with care buildings in sorry state. And have to agree about bee shelter, I don’t think here is anything similar built.
Fluffy clouds on the top of Schneeberg
Maybe you already saw the photos I posted here this week in the Wednesday C&C thread. Here’s some more from that trip.
We, rode up in the “Karbachalm” cable car in Mühlbach, Austria, then hiked on up to about 350m higher to the double summit of the Schneeberg mountain ( at 1938m above sea level).
Then walked all the way down to the Dienten saddle where we’d parked a second car.
Not too hot, a great day for hiking and it didn’t rain until we got back to the car. Well it did rain once, but we were sitting in a mountain hut at that time enjoying the local products and a good beer, so really lucky 😊These are the views on that day from the top looking over to the Hochkönig mountain range.
The clouds looked nice; big, white and fluffy.
My favourite shot is the first with the photogenic B&W cows sitting down taking a rest, chewing the cud or perhaps just enjoying the view
I have to agree, first shot is best, cows being subject there make it more interesting.
The Penkiln Burn has been in spate this week, though subsiding now - at least for the time being.
A daily walk takes us over this bridge and past the old mill. The recent stormy weather saw the water level almost up to the lower windows, with the old wheelroom a metre deep in water. Huge boulders have appeared and disappeared, along with tree trunks that have been stuck for years now gone without trace.
The peaty water always puts me in mind of dark bottle glass or even vocanic obsidian glass.
Humans above humans.
Again, clearing the clutter from my outbox and these seemed to have something in common.
These two are both well done.

I'm ashamed to say I have never visited Hartpury tithe barn, though I'm familiar with others in the area, and indeed have even sung in concerts in some of them! The bee shelter is wonderful. It takes a visitor to unearth things that the locals don't know or bother about. Thanks for this - it'll go on the list for next trip south!
A slice of Turkish life.
A glimpse into Turkish life reveals a workplace that reflects the country’s unique character, passions, and heritage. President Erdogan’s influence is evident, not only as a dominant figure in the space but also as a key shaper of Turkey’s modern history—a legacy that may last well beyond his time. The Turkish flag stands as the most powerful symbol of national pride.
Football reigns as the most beloved sport in the country, while tea is the drink of choice, with Turkey leading the world in tea consumption by a significant margin. An old-fashioned TV plays a popular reality show that solves murder cases live, capturing the attention of many viewers.
The beauty of Istanbul, the country’s crown jewel, is represented by the iconic Suleymaniye Mosque. The workplace also features a musical instrument and a sign of a local musician, hinting at the rich cultural life that thrives in Turkey.
(I asked ChatGPT to edit my text , I loved it 😎 )
A wonderful slice 😃 The blurb does read a bit like a museum info board 😁
Fluffy clouds on the top of Schneeberg
looks almost as if the clouds are running out and trickling down the nountain, but these are in fact gravel paths
The scree rivers look really interesting, as you say, streaming out of the clouds.

Railway lines like this are so evocative.
A square crop might work well here?
Urban Crossroads
Departing downtown Toronto and heading West...
Very nice scene and the rail lines work well as leading lines but as in the other thread you posted your image, the near blown sky is a distracting eye magnet for me and so detracts a little from the image.
It was shown in the other thread that the sky is largely recoverable (using ACR). To what extent the sky is recovered is obviously up to you.
Penkiln

Huge boulders have appeared and disappeared, along with tree trunks that have been stuck for years now gone without trace.
These came to life when I saw them enlarged, especially the third shot. I like the idea of the water going in different directions.
