Some Pictures I’ve Liked volume 35

A little late, but here are some pictures I’ve liked with a few Maine shots that I’ve stumbled across, in the spirit of our recent vacation:

• teahole at seal rock… from incidence; a wonderful pinhole–I love the line of rocks fading off to the left.
• Helianthus annuus…really. from a view from the 6oh lens; these sunflowers really pop in black and white; gorgeous.
• Sunflowerpower from moodaholic; yup, I love sunflowers.
• swimming-pool from sguardo.org; the hint of cloud in the pool makes this eery and restful at the same time.
• Vacuum from Markus Hartel; she’s one serious street cleaner.

Some Maine views:

• sideshow freaks and the maine event from Calebs Creek; ayuh, lobster buoys are the great cliche of Maine coastal scenes, but they’re still great.
• Puffin from Calebs Creek; so still.
• Great Grizzly bar sign from What the Sock Saw; looks like the sort of place a real bear would sit down for a drink. (Newry is just a bit to the north of Granddad’s house, which has a resident bear.)
• The Fisherman III from We’re All Afraid; open and peaceful.
• please don’t chop off my head from uncapitalized; goofily sweet.
• old orchard beach at night from Sara Lovering; Palace Playland at its magical, tackiest best.
• pine point, maine from Sara Lovering; timeless.
• Maine Coast No. 2 from f/1.4; a Wyeth painting indeed.
