Again,...... this is going to be fun.

Structure is a fundamental and sometimes intangible notion covering the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and
relationships of entities. From a child's verbal description of a snowflake, to the detailed scientific analysis of the properties of magnatic field, the concept of structure is an essential foundation of nearly every mode of inquiry and discovery in science, philosophy, and art.

Hey, I tried tonight, despite boring sky. So I zipped down 89 and went to an old bridge, only to find this:


Just my luck.

Well, it technically is still a "structure"...

Is it just me or are they trying to fix the bridge by fumigating it?

The lead in the paint is an enviromental hazard. It will be scrpaed off and placed in special bags and transported to a toxic waste facility. At least that's my jaundiced guess, you know, the EPA has nothing better to do than to "fix" this bridge in the middle of nowhere!!!!

I found another setting.

There, I didn't space out this month.

Dave, why do you have a cute doggie for an avatar? Can the rest of us have custom avatars now?

1. Cuz he's a meanie and wants to constantly remind me of the dog that I can't have yet.

2. I think Mark is the one that makes that decision..

... or continue with a broad theme again, but use the opposite "unstructured".

...or perhaps an easy one for me, "Cluttered"

That's a very beautiful photo.

I'm not sure what the topic is yet, I was going to go with SIGNS (due to the fact that I recently had to get glasses cuz I am unable to read street signs when I'm driving ) or perhaps LIGHTS. I'll run those two by dave when I see him later on tonight (I'll try to think of other topics while I'm on the plane) and I'll get him to post up a topic before 10pm hopefully.

If you really want Sunset to be the theme I do take bribes..

Why not something like:
Saturation
Shallow Depth of field
Selective color (though that bends the rules, just like ruling the bends)
Flash!
eMOTION

More photographers challenge than MINIature gimmick for lack of a beter term.
