    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.

    Alan,

    The statue almost looks like a real person. I like all of that blue sky.

    Subject: Casino Tent

    While traveling in a car, I am able to take pictures of some interesting things. Here's a casino within a tent that I found in Northern California. I've never seen anything like it. I took this through the windshield (windscreen) of our car.

    Subject: State of Jefferson

    I've taken pictures of this sign before. As we were traveling down the interstate I saw it again and took this quick snap through the car side window. The rain had abated a little by then. I thought that when we were on our trip home where we passed by it another time, that we should stop the car and take more pictures. So I did, which is what you all can see in the two subsequent pictures. I was able to read more about this sign on the internet; I hope you all can too.

    It does look like a real person (like Digirame already wrote) With nice colors a nice shot @AlanSh
    @Digirame, Looks more like a Circus tent (is that correct English?) 😁
    I do like the mood in the first "State of Jefferson" picture.
    The other two are also nice because the weather that seems to be better
