Actually we have not so much of snow this winter, about 30 cm/1 foot. But these bikes are near the apartment entrance and housekeepers shovel snow from footpath aside, causing these 1 meter high snow piles.

With respect, I disagree. The variety of material is interesting, and the lower third creates the right aspect ratio.

Really cool... after the rain at night is a magical thing. And the ground-level angle. I have a coffee cup with the The Shard on it (got it from my wife who visited with her girlfriends a few years ago).

Really cool. Brings back memories from my old HVAC drafting days... but I was only using "cheap-o" Pentels, Koh-I-Noors, and Steadtlers (0.5, 0.7, 1.0) with graphite for paper and some sort of "plastic" lead for use on Mylar sheets.

Wonderful scenes and the shapes, too. You've given me an idea! Here in the neighborhood... a tree! LOL.

Nice! Intriguing perspective. A station in the suburbs with a wonderful feel, the weather, the louvered window, and the possibilities of where things may lead.

I like cars shows... a "target rich" environment! I have not been to a car show in YEARS. Of course you can use you cell phone, but my guess is that any camera with removable lenses (let alone a tripod) would be verboten. The organizers should simply offer a premium "photographer's ticket" -- they might sell more of them than they realize? Of course a tripod would be problematic in a crowd. Allow early entry for the photographers with a premium ticket! LOL.

The first pic... #1 is marvelous.

Those a great! I love you sense of humor. :-)

GEORGETOWN - Occasionally, I get "out" into the countryside and wilderness... which is nice in many ways. Here in the urban area, I find some peace and quiet in industrial settings that are a little "off the beaten path" in terms of the general public... rail yards and the port are two of my favorites. In this instance, I noticed a group of locomotives that were parked "ahead" of where they usually sit -- and I probably noticed them because of the high-intensity lighting from adjacent buildings. So I pulled off on the side of the road to take a picture. Always fun. But just as I was wrapping-up, I did have a run-in with Railway Security... since I was behind a fence and it was late (around midnight... since I had been out for dinner, etc. with some friends). Etc. All good. I showed the security agent the pics on the rear screen... he thought they were pretty cool... and when he realized I was just a photography goofball, he laughed and said "Have a nice evening!" :-) Taken with the 85/1.8 (a nice lens that is fairly inexpensive). The first one is a cropped stitch of 3 frames (portrait) and the second is a singe shot. Same location. I took the loco pictures and then turned the camera the other direction (didn't even move the tripod). And then the security guy showed up. LOL.

Holy crap, there's some real detail in these, I found myself poring over minute tidbits of the train. I think the first is the better shot in terms of impact. Very good indeed.
It's a shame for you that you post late in the weekend as you miss out on other's comments a little, tends to die a little in here after a couple of days. This thread used to be a very busy place back in the days of DPR and run all through the week, reaching hundreds of posts. We moved here then DPR never shut down.
