Yes, a extreme heatwave has heat Utah, when this photo was taken temperatures reached a seering -16c. Make sure you put on your sunscreen, dip anyone? Photo taken by Canon IXUS
Taken by mobile phone on bike ride at Canal Basin, Stanley Wharf, Wakefield, England. Someone at the Ship Chandlar’s shop front has put two signs too close together – or have they? I’m reminded of the gay quarter in Manchester, England which runs along the length of Canal Street and it has a street sign high on a wall near the entrance- but some wag has climbed up to it and rubbed out the ‘C’.....
441 north is left..how can 411 north be right? And whats up with that straight ahead???!? / This is at the intersection of hiways 411 and 441 in Seymour, Tennessee.
August, 2009 Featured by the MIRTH group here: / Thank you all so much! May, 2006 Location: Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee / Beale Street is a street in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, which runs from the Mississippi River to East Street, a distance of approximately 1.8 miles (2.9 km). It is a significant location in history and the history of the blues. Today, the blues clubs and restaurants that line Beale Street are major tourist attractions in Memphis. Festivals and outdoor concerts periodically bring large crowds to the street and its surrounding areas. * More about Beale Street can be found here*: We took visiting relatives on a tour of Memphis and they wanted to see Beale Street. Since no cars are allowed on the mainly “pedestrian” streets of Beale (as indicated by the barricades that can be seen in the background of this shot) it was rather amusing to us that these signs were posted on every street light pole along the way. My Father, the one who noticed the contradiction, lagged behind the group only to be captured “breaking the law” by not only standing, but “leaning” against the pole. He was lucky he didn’t get a tow or a ticket. LOL!
Found this by the court house Hmmm
Les Quebecois – so accomodating. A room where one can relieve internal pressures and have cosmetic hair removal performed, presumably not at the same time. Taken at Mount Tremblant, June ‘96

Nina is a Western Lowland Gorilla who resides at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. She is a grand little old lady. She really seems to enjoy posing and having her picture taken. She appeared to be somewhat annoyed when one of the younger females decided to move in on the camera action! The Western Lowland Gorilla is a subspecies of the Western Gorilla that lives in montane, primary, and secondary forests and lowland swamps in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Adult male Gorillas are prone to cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease. Babec, a Western Lowland Gorilla on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama (USA) was the first gorilla to receive an artificial pacemaker. Binti Jua, who resides at Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, saved a three year old boy who fell into her enclosure in 2003. / The Western Lowland Gorilla is critically endangered. The gorilla is vulnerable to Ebola, deforestation, and poaching. Canon Rebel XTi – Canon 70-300mm lens

Sometimes little jewels of quirky humour present themselves when you least expect it. This shot was taken in Paddington, Sydney. I was at the wheel of a stationary car when I spotted not one but two grilles of identical colour several metres away on my left – one grille on the pavement and one on the building itself. I composed the shot literally through the passenger window (having hit the button to put the window down, first!) to include the many variations of gunmetal grey. I deliberately shot a vertical frame, so as to include the splash of colour provided by a nearby tree. But a car drove slowly by as I hit the shutter the first time. Then I shot this frame and as I did so, I realised exactly what the street sign said. I’d like to say this shot was the result of sheer instinct, but maybe I should call it ``dead reckoning’’! I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/125 sec, ISO 400, focal length 125mm. Sydney2009-6140
