"Farmers' Golf" 2010-08-16: This rural form of 'golf' is played with boots instead of balls, with various 'holes'. There are 21 such holes. You stand behind the hay and throw various sized boots. This is hole 4. Four points for throwing the boot through the loop without touching the loop. An extra point if it doesn't touch the bell. Number 23 has trained hard and managed this shot and many of the others perfectly. The championship matches were held in Vienna this year. This shot has been manipulated of course - vignette and text added. Thanks for the amazing number of comments on my really yucky slug picture. You are a wonderful group of people. Off to another busy day. Enjoy Monday.

Please Disrobe Here! 2010-08-12: The EuroVelo long distance bicycle Route 6 goes through Vienna on its way from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, and in Vienna it goes right through an FKK area. FKK = Freikörperkultur = Nudism. The nudists are primarily down near the water. This is of course a set scene for the photo - nudism is not required, only permitted. Still, it has widened the eyes of unexpecting cyclists on occasion (especially those who don't speak German). Have some fun today.

Fish! 2010-07-28: Back in the Danube Wetlands in Vienna - the water does flow (and this year there certainly is enough). Not too sure about the processing on this - I haven't done much B&W. Thanks for your generous comments on my street scene.
