Thanks Asher,

A couple of years ago I lost the RAW file for this photo together with at least several hundred more because of a stolen hard drive. This is from a "backup" jpeg file (at some moment I was short of disk space), so IQ is far from optimal.

Thanks Asher!

This is in Bocas del Toro, Panama, I was in a boat heading to a nearby island. I have many photos of the area for sure.

Cem - I like the overall composition paired with a nice color contrast.

Ruben, Cem, thanks, but the compliment goes to the original artist.
I do not know who did this, but I like the imagination and creativity people put into these works.
There is a lot of art outside galleries and museums.

I was just there with my camera.

Best regards,
Michael

Nice ones! I do not have any sunbathing images. Here is an old man chilling out with the morning newspaper (Chennai, India, 2010).

We do not limit ourselves to sunbathing images, anything goes. I like how he holds his cigar and how at ease he is with himself and with his environment.

BTW, I am always amazed by the very casual and common squatting/crouching found in various cultures. I find it very uncomfortable myself but perhaps it is because my big belly gets in the way, lol.

Cem, Vivek, Fahim, very nice and original additions!

I'm thinking that it will be good to add a pic every Friday or so (while stock last).
