Ronda Countryside, Ronda, 2015

Ronda is the most spectacular and popular example of hilltowns in this area. It is easy to underestimate Ronda and not give it the attention it deserves. It is also where bullfighting started and the newer (but still old) town that you can see to the right is quite extensive with some of the best tapas restaurants in Spain. Often a tapas crawl in places like Seville caters to tourists and does not offer a truly authentic experience. Spending less than a full day in Ronda is a crime and several days if you want to take in the local environs is worth serious consideration.

Street art as a part of Palm Beach County's Canvas outdoor museum exhibit. Artists from around the world were invited to "use a wall" in various locations around town.

This is from artist Sean Yoro (a.k.a. Hula), a native of Hawaii. This is under a bridge where the water is several feet deep. He worked off of scaffolding to complete this beautiful work of art.

@kanuck, what's the significance of that stance or technique that these guys are using?

Rented a 200-500 to see how I would be able to handle it and if I could get anything decent with it. Here's a squirrel. I didn't try to optimize depth of field. Just shot the lens wide open at 5.6 to see what I could manage with it.

True statement. I needed that chuckle.

No need for a tricycle when you have a horse.

Ferris Wheel with a Brushed Morning Sky
I guess there are many ways to capture the same subject. This is the same ferris wheel as before but this time using a 10 stop B+W ND filter to extend the exposure to 65 seconds.

Thanks all for taking a look and commenting on my Kenya photos these past couple of weeks. While most of my wildlife shots were taken with a D810, I did have a D800 with me for landscapes and shots like this (it had a 70-200 on it most of the time, which came in handy when animals got close).
