I call that photo "In Hell"

It was taken in a slot canyon I've hiked a number of times. I had been in that canyon the year before and that stump was not there so it had washed in during a flash flood sometime after my last visit. It was at least 20 feet above my head.

You would not want to have been hiking there when that stump got stuck.

You want odd photographs? Here's one. I came home from work one day and saw that someone had dumped an old bathtub and water heater in front of my house. Insert profanity here. Later, some guy came by and offered to remove said bathtub and water heater for, if I remember correctly, $125.

I have always wondered if the guy that dumped the junk in front of my house was the same guy who I paid to remove it. I had to photograph the tub and water heater because without the picture, no one would believe me.

i wished i got more into photography while we lived in SC which has tremendous photo opps; down there most of my shots were long range or landscape. I've learned now from our daughter up here that close ups, portrait modes, etc can be a good thing. Plus having a nice rebel camera now helps, wish i had it down in SC.

But i still had some turn out pretty well down there, figured i may as well add them to the nice thread going on here. And yes i do look for reflections for pix lol.
The pond was up in the mountains, the path bridge at one of the plantations, and the pier near Charleston.

Are you ready for some Graveyard humor?

we like to wander around a popular state park nearby, usually my pix are of the bluffs, water, and so on. But for some reason this old stump caught my eye

Probably hooked up to a battery to make a "hobo" stinger (aka) heater. inmates use them all the time.

Interesting, you have to wonder about that one.

Check my quote to him and wonder no more.

Just a photo opportunity that struck me one morning right in the back yard.

Looks like something from beyond-or a horror flick. Someone really nailed it when he mentioned it and the word: Agony.

You did good on that one. I've tried many times to capture spider webs but it's difficult to do. Congrats!

Are you ready for some Graveyard humor?

Yes, especially from Tombstone's "Boot Hill." I used to have postcards of many of those markers from there but gave em all away to a friend in England.

After looking at innumerable fingerprints, I finally found Mr. Bill.......

Got to admit, that's funny right there.

That's a great tidbit of information. I had no idea.

For once I actually am familiar with some "odd" object pictured on the forum.

The subject of opaul's picture is a wheel off of a rotary hoe, a farm implement I used to use when working my father's farm as a boy. A rotary hoe has two rows of these, the purpose of which is to break up the top couple of inches or so of hard, crusted soil, which hinders the emergence of recently planted corn or soybeans. To work properly the hoe has to be pulled through the field with the tractor in "road gear"(high speed). That was fun, but turning on the ends of the field could be a tad adventuresome if one wasn't careful.

Back to topic; great pictures folks!

Around here those gangs of tines are called "rolling cultivators" Not used in sugar cane fields but for seeded crops.
