Howie, CmdrK and Sat, those are great photos. Each one looks so peaceful and make me want to visit there. Zorba, that is a neat looking temple. I'm glad you said it was the Monkey God, because that's what it looks like and I didn't want to appear rude. OK, one more photo from the ghost town. I don't know what kind of truck this is, but I'd sure like to own it.

CmdrK and Satguru those shots are amazing. Wish I could visit those places! I like the contrast in this shot between the dark clouds on the left, then the red sunset clouds and then blue sky. Unfortunately my camera just could not get in focus with the shots I took of the clouds that day, so it is a bit blurry.

ClaraSue, that might be an International truck. I think they made firetrucks in the 1940s and 1950s. Daniel, that is a great cloud shot. Satguru, your new camera is very impressive. The optics appear to be really good. Any problems using the viewer in bright sunlight? My little dam pond shot is from well within the town limits of Loudon, New Hampshire. Obviously, Loudon is not a large metropolis.

Thanks, CmdrK. I didn't look closely at the truck but you're probably right. Yesterday, hubby and I spent the day in Las Vegas, Nevada and this is the Eiffel Tower replica outside of the Paris Casino/Hotel.

So far as long as I don't have the sun too direct it's behaved itself, the other one shut down when it was sunny if the sun wasn't right behind it. I'm working my way through the functions gradually (not so easy without instructions on paper and a diagram on the screen like the flight deck of a 747 but seem to have avoided the problems I was having when I started so far. The entrance to a pub on Stanmore Hill

You seem to have got great weather in London, Howie. Nice photo, Christinap, it would've fit the Blue theme thread too. ClaraSue, for a minute I thought the truck photo was taken on a 'Cars' set.   Chillies in my grandmother's garden. Edited: Because I forgot to post the photo.

Zorba, what kind of chile is that? Are those cayenne? One more casino in Las Vegas. This is New York, New York.

ClaraSue, they're a local Indian variety called Bedgi.

The "Barge Inn"?  The American version of that would be the "Dew Drop Inn".

I posted this photo in Wimbledon Park on the Ordnance Survey site as usual, and just won photo of the week from 5854 in total.  I was going to link the shortlisting process here, but I think it's members only but it's there just in case. I've been a regular contributor since 2008 and don't think I've even been shortlisted before. I watched it from about 100 to 10 and then one by one over the last few days. Shortlist and announcement
