The Olympics are not what they used to be...  The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has added venues that seem less than less competitive and more entertaining.  This, probably, is due to wanting higher ratings on television.

The following pictures are from a new venue that will run in conjunction with Synchronized Swimming.  It is call Synchronized Flying, which in keeping with the IOCs penchant for PC and parity, the scale is tilted to the Canadians.

There are two classifications, Pairs and Ensemble.

The Pairs.

The Ensemble.

Only three pictures today, from some of my favorites.

Here are a few more pictures from the past.

Yes, the picture of the barn with snow was taken in Cumming, GA.

The tree growing up the chimney caught my eye as I drove by one day.  I went back a few days later to take the pictures.  The barn has since collapsed totally.

The next scene is on one of the ways that I use to go to and from work.  The sunflowers face the sun in the East in the morning and in the afternoon, they face the sun in the West.  I think that a spiritual lesson from the sunflowers would be "Follow the Son."

This month's photo project are photos taken in the evening, without any natural light.  I still have take a third photo.  I look forward to the assignments because it requires one to get out of their comfort zone.  Portraits would take me as far out of my comfort zone as I could go.

I may re-take the scene at an intersection, although I do like the 'light-stars.'  Although, there is only a slight difference, if you had to choose one of the photos of the Forsyth County Courthouse, which would you choose?

York Beach, Perkin's Cove, and Ogunquit, Maine are some of our favorite places.  I came across these pictures, which brought back fond memories.

The first three pictures are from York Beach.

The chairs are on a lawn along the Marginal Way, which is a wonderful walking path from Perkin's Cove to the Town of Ogunquit, along the rocky coast and ocean.

And my favorite!

Here are a few more pictures from the past. 

The bridge is on a plantation outside of Charleston, SC.

This duck, taking a dive into the water, was taken in Goffstown, NH.

The eagle is a statue... at Rock City in Chattanooga, TN.  I took out the pedestal with my software.  Who would have thunk it?

The fungus was taken in Highlands, NC.  If I, as a ''fun-guy,' taking this picture, could we call this a fungi???

Every so often, I go thought a period of not taking many pictures, for one reason or another.  I did have time to go through an hard drive that has pictures going back quite a while.  Some have been posted in the past.. I will posting some of them in the days ahead.

Thee were taken about 4 years ago on a trip o Cades Cove in Tennessee.  The first two pictures were taken in the Cove, the third was shortly after leaving the area as we drove through Fort Hill, Tennessee.  The last picture was taken in Ellijay, GA, on our way home.  It is at the rest stop, just south of Ellijay.
