    This is the weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Any Brand thread where we invite you to show your own pictures. It is collegial in that it is a pleasant and friendly place among photographers to share.

    I will begin this thread each Monday (Pacific Standard Time) to give each of you all the chance to share your weekend photos with us, for those that follow a regular work week schedule and choose to do it that way. But the pictures can be taken at any time with any camera, including your cell phone. It's open to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. The images posted can be anything from casual snaps to extraordinary. I'll be sure to comment to each of your photos, if you choose to share. Replies from others are encouraged also.

    The intent of this thread to mainly to just show photos in a relaxed way and to generate replies or comments about them. Generally I'm not planning to critique any image unless asked. But I or we may ask things about a photo that may develop into a discussion, always being friendly and helpful. It has been a request that I mention this and from what I've learned from past experience: Can you ask a member first if they would mind you editing their photos?

    Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each. Please share any tips or techniques too. A narrative sometimes also helps. Thanks everyone for your participation.

    Subject: Street Dancing Part I

    A little over two weeks ago I was at Pacific University where I found some benches and red chairs. I posted those photos here under the Lonely Benches thread. I was not expecting it, but suddenly I found that they were beginning to perform some dances in a nearby street. With my camera in hand, I proceeded to take these action photos. I hope you like them.

    Our renovation project is done, a new kitchen, toilets and bathroom are ready and we are enjoying the new looks.
    Still a few small things have to be done, we want a Infrared heater panel in the bathroom for some extra comfort/heating.
    but for now it's okay 😉
    Now we can go out again for a hike and we did.
    Stayed close to home actually didn't leave Assen where we live. In Assen we do have small old-growth forest called Asserbos.
    We both took again a very small selection (one camera and only two lenses each) used the bandolier/beltsystem with M.O.L.L.E/M.A.S attachments again.

    photobygms,

    Asserboss. One of the oldest and largest city parks in the Netherlands. I'd say it's "old growth" all right. Established in 1260 and landscaped in 1760.

    I understand it's famous for birdwatching too.

    @stevet1, correct 😃 This little parks/forest does have an unique character, some parts more "landscaped" and other parts still more or less untouched nature.

    ** GOAL POSTS **

    This is the Bolte Bridge crossing the Yarra River in Melbourne. To the locals it is affectionately known as "The Goal Posts"

    They do resemble the Rugby goal posts in way. do like the colors👍, it has to be at around sunset (looking at the Exif)

    Yes, but Melbourne being an Australian Football League town the towers get their name due to their very close resemblance to AFL goal posts.

    You can tell from the timestamps in the exif that the shot was taken near sunset.

    I like the way the sun reflects off the clouds above it. It really pulls at your soul.

    Thanks Steve for hosting the thread. I'm leaving soon today. Thanks everyone for their participation. 😀

    I'll be back at the end of October, but I'll probably be buried in post processing more photos. I should be able to start the next thread on October 28th. If I do not, then it means I decided to take a little longer vacation or I'm still post processing. 😀 I'll try to let you know if things change from that.

    A nice day in autumn (where we live) and a good day for some testing.
    Bought a new phone, a HMD fusion.
    A few random test shots from a afternoon stroll in our neighborhood:

    Photobygms,

    Nice neighborhood to go strolling in. I liked your second to last shot. Nice, rich greens.

    I noticed that you said your renovation project is done. As a fellow renovation survivor, we can give each other high fives.
