    I read somewhere that they were into human sacrifice and that they were interested in the way the blood flowed.

    Its a pretty weird place with Box bushes, which are not found elsewhere.

    These two shots stand out for me, the light and colours are really good in both
    Nice use of dark shadows too , to make the lighter parts of the image look even brighter :-)

    The first is a good action shot !
    The lead dog is looking right at you :-)

    The sun dial is very cool, nicely seen and good title, but the time it's showing is a bit off, compared to the EXIF ;-)

    I'm glad to hear you're recovering, there's something nasty going around. My chef had been sick nearly 2 weeks.

    It's a very strong image and really dramatic. I didn’t experience any issues with the site, though.

    A very nice set! The muted colours and contrasty scene work well for me in the first one. The third image indeed looks like a watercolour. The first lone tree works better for me than the second.

    Snowy path

    I didn't get out this week, so here's another older shot of an old favourite path seen from a favourite hike.
    Keeping up with the wintery pics, this one is a December shot with a light dusting of snow

    This is the entrance gate of an empty house awaiting restoration,in Turkey, Afyon, my hometown Currently, no unapproved alterations are allowed as it is a historic building. As restoring the houses according to the law’s requirements is very costly and the owners are poor, many of these houses deteriorate slowly. Interestingly, the metal door seems relatively new and was likely added before the conservation law came into effect. The construction date of the house, inscribed in the Ottoman Rumi calendar, reads 1318, which corresponds to 1902. It’s a fascinating detail, as several old houses still stand in this neighbourhood. Notably, if the construction date is written in Arabic and the Rumi calendar, it indicates that the house likely belonged to a Muslim. Conversely, dates inscribed in Latin and the Georgian calendar typically signify that the owner was a non Muslim.

    I agree with what you have said Steve, but I also believe the size of the so-called "thumbnail" contributes to the effect. The bigger the image, the less blank space to influence our perception. I don't know why the thumbnail is the size it is. To conserve bandwidth? There is a lot of blank space to the right. He_who_finally_left knew how to have the image fill the width. I thought it was an appropriate size for images. Not full screen but not so condensed either.

    It is always sad when these old buildings fall into disrepair. I like distortions that have occurred over time in the first shot.

    Is it a cross country ski path? It looks like a giant snake.

    Yes indeed, a big snake :-)
    It is a normal road for cars, quite steep though, probably just used to bring supplies up to one of the mountain huts there at the top

    Great shot, this light coming from bottom side makes it something special.

    love your posts, they are like short adventure stories.
    First image is my pick, these trees seem like guardians for smaller ones behind.

    Hehe, after snowstorm last weekend this week the time temperature was above zero all the time and it rained quite lot, so not much is left from this fresh snow, just some icy patches. Oh, well...

    I'm not sure my camera's time is correct, I'm tired of adjusting it on my cameras twice a year, I have energy enough just to adjust my wall clocks...

    Yes, I use AdobeRGB.
    You may be right about the issue being perceptual. My PS is set to a dark theme.
    It's just that occasionally I'll start the thread, be disappointed by my image, tweak it and repost it. But only occasionally.
