Photos from the past month.

Some of my favorite terrain around here. I've posted shots of this area before, but these are new.
Ochre Cliffs, Rockville, California






Not sure what the story is behind this, but it seems to be a light. Anyway, it's on the Capitol Hill grounds.



Two flag shots:







More images from Arlington National Cemetery

These are gorgeous and heartbreaking ........

Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

I think a monthly display is a great idea--I may do one myself.

Let’s me put out photos I like without requiring some more pointed unifying theme.

I bet The Group would enjoy seeing a monthly collection of images you like.

Mira has been remarking about that during her travels in Europe.

I love the 2nd Ochre shot. All that green surrounding the ochre in the rocks.

Thanks for posting these shots.

But so far too lazy to try to research it. It is a substantial piece of work and I wonder who crafted it.

Would you call it Art Deco?

Hard to know. For me, the scallops are what make it more Art Nouveau.

It is an interesting piece. Sure would be fun to know the history behind it.

make my heart bleed. And my visuals very happy. 'the symmetry is great throughout, but I especially like the second photo. I think a little folder on one's desktop labeled "My month" and then posting it when it's over would be just wonderful in helping us revive discussion and participation in our forum.

I'm going to start keeping a folder, as you suggested, and cull through at the end of each month for something to share. It would be great to pick up participation in this group.
