“Bhutan in South Asia.”
– CT Feng, LAPD
Noelle’s comment: Whoa, CT, what a shot! It’s breathtaking … and not just because the cliffs look dangerous. The angle of your shot highlights the foreground, the mid-ground (fantastic object) and the breathtaking background. Well composed and well shot – thanks for submitting!
“While curiosity may have killed the cat, the same – fortunately – cannot be said about these donkeys at CrossRoads Donkey Rescue in Fayetteville, Tennessee.”
– Yves Didier, Airport Police
Noelle’s comment: I love a good pet’s-nose-on-the-lens shot, Yves. It makes for a good start to the New Year! Thanks for sending it in!
“Here’s a photo taken in Auckland harbor of a Russian mega yacht launching its tender (small motorboat) through its open side. I gave up all that kind of work when I retired from the City of LA!”
– Capt. Michael Barnes, Retired, Harbor
Noelle’s comment: That’s living life dangerously, Captain! But I guess if you have that kind of money, what does it matter if your yacht sinks? Just buy a new one! Thanks for the startling view of how others live.
“It was hot and humid, and it rained most of our summer day visit, but that didn’t deter some folks (especially the little ones) from dressing up to blend in with the traditional beauty of Kyoto’s Pontocho Alley.”
– Dominique Daito, LAPD
Noelle’s comment: The world can be so formal – all it takes is one child to think differently and wear the pink/salmon Chucks to create an unforgettable moment. These quick flashes of personal expression are everywhere, if only we are open to capturing them, as you were. Thanks, Dominique!
“A very California winter! Chasing sunsets in Carmel.”
– Daisy Gomez, Rec and Parks
Noelle’s comment: What a gorgeous shot, Daisy! I felt myself exhaling the moment I saw it. Peace and chilling-out – that’s what this is all about. Thanks!
