> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > This is super cool. Do you have it enlarged & framed? > > mmm Thank you; I do not. One Sunday I went to get some art supplies and because traffic was light, I decided to drive down Charleston rather than get on the highway to get home. Saw the building, stopped and took the pano and went on my way. I do this all the time, stop to take pictures of graffiti, so I have quite a few. That one looks pretty good, tho, because it was relatively fresh (and protected) and because I had the full afternoon sun behind me. IIRC the wall was done to raise money for and awareness of childhood cancer treatment. ---

I love this one. The texture of the feathers, the lighting- very striking. And I agree that this would be a good thread for a “like” button- 83 posts in, there are too many that I love to list them all out. ---

This one might be a bit of a cheat since it is a composite of lots of photos (the original is 76 MP, taken with a 12 MP camera): [![](https://i.imgur.com/NmKJ5tN.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/NmKJ5tN.jpg) Data missing in the corners, but what’s there can be framed in several ways (I have it saved as an oval with the missing areas “rounded out”.) ---

That osprey shot is a once in a lifetime thing to see, let alone photograph. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > That osprey shot is a once in a lifetime thing to see, let alone photograph Yeah, I got lucky. It was actually on a family vacation to Florida, taking a boat trip, so I didn’t bring my Canon 400X lens that cost more than my camera, I had a relatively inexpensive 50-300X prosumer lens. Getting that shot off a moving boat was again, pure luck. I also got a good shot of the osprey coming up out of the water, but unfortunately, without a fish in its claws, or that would’ve really been a killer shot 😞 ---

Pennsylvania black bear. Pic taken from my Jeep, about a mile from work. I drove by slowly, taking pics. Only one was any good, and this is it. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/D1tsqEx.png "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/D1tsqEx) ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Pennsylvania black bear. Nice pic. Years ago when I was hiking in the Porcupine Mountains with a friend, a black bear came walking down the trail and came right up to us. He backed us up to a lake until we almost in it, getting within a few feet of us before changing his mind and walking away. He didn’t seem aggressive, more like a big friendly dog who was curious or looking for a handout. It wasn’t until he was walking away that I remembered I had a camera around my neck! I finally took a couple shots before he disappeared into the woods completely, but the pics were just blurry dark blobs. ---

Thanks! (I was going to make a joke about how that’s high praise coming from someone with your username, but a quick googling tells me that herons and cranes, though similar looking, are from entirely different families of birds). ---

These things never get old for me - I’ve just loved all the wildlife photos in this thread. Change of pace - oyster stall by the beach at Cancale, Brittany. One of about a dozen, all doing decent business.

And now for something completely different. I have absolutely no idea what this is or how it happened. It showed up in my camera between a bunch of cat pics. But I think it’s pretty cool.
