This one really grabbed me. I guess it's because of all those fairy tales I remember from my childhood. Where is the big bad wolf? Just off stage to the camera's left, I suspect.

It’s not a matter of memory (god knows that would not work…). I have been keeping (for 15 years now) a dedicated gallery of all my submitted images to the Weekly Wed C&C, to which I add a copy of every week’s new image, with attached the link to the forum thread.
More from the Takayama Museum that preserves memories of the 1950s.
The Classroom. Another "How Quaint"
A nice series showing how these kids are reacting to the antique devices. Certainly having fun!
Looks like a good hands-on type of museum.
Not sure most would laugh at everthing, maybe they just had the giggles that day :-)

Last beam
Image taken just few weeks ago. Attraction for me was to capture the last moments of the sunset reflected in the office building with bronze cladded windows.
At present, the Great White Frozen North is experiencing up to -20C temperatures and loads of snow. This capture brightens the day...
At least the light is warm here when everything else is at -20°C :-)
The image could handle a bit of straightening.
I took this during a foggy day walk.
You've captured the atmosphere well. It certainly looks foggy, and very cold too.
A Colorful Winter Afternoon
at the country house, where Zeke and I take several walks a day through land that has very little to commend it for photography. I hope for good light, and look for things that could be made interesting in a camera's framing. This is the east hayfield, which Perteet failed to clear this fall due to equipment failure. He promises to do better next year.
Well you found some good light here!
Nice and bright and colourful too, with some good cloud patterns as a bonus
Closing In
When I first go through the photos from one of my trips, they all seem to be crap. This is a phenomenon that seems to repeat on every major shoot. I've learned to let the images "marinade" for several weeks, and then the pixels seem to settle into place.
HaHa! I know that feeling too, and the time in the "marinade" really does help :-)
This image was from my October trip to the Pantanal. I was in a moving boat and was panning with a relatively slow shutter speed, so I passed over it originally because it wasn't sharp. But recently I looked at it again and saw some potential. What do you think?
I'm glad you came back to this one.
The panning effect shows the speed with the big "movement blur" in the background.
It doesn't matter that some parts of the powerful animal are also a bit blurred, in fact it just adds to the feeling of its fluid running movement; his shoulder is moving faster than the rest of the body and its head. Nice that the whiskers are in good focus.
I just noticed that there is sort of optical illusion effect going on (at least for me).
It's coming from the pattern of the fur. The still image seems to be moving very slightly, almost like it's breathing
