... here's a French Style Rack of Deer Ribs.

That looks great, good job with making the rack. I use to hunt outside of Bethalto IL, some of the best venison sausage I've ever had.

Hope everyone has a great 2017 and more amazing pictures for the new year.


^^^Taken with my new little friend, I need another camera like I need a hole in my head.

PeteG: I look forward to see more of what you do with that Fuji. Fuji colors are very distinct... and can be really pleasing. I've got the Fuji X100 and have gotten some great images from it.
By the way, I've got that same record on yellow vinyl as well as the same VPI RCM. Were you in my house?

This magnificent creature lit upon the branches of the trees outside the building of one of our Southern Illinois properties this afternoon. I was lucky to catch him, but not lucky enough to catch him
in flight. With the extremely cold, subfreezing temperatures, he was really plumping up his feathers to stay warm.

Wow , awesome Fred.

Nice shot Jon L! With that yellowish color, we now know why it is said that, "The moon is made of cheese."

I was lucky to catch this shot tonight of the Super Moon, in between the clouds, just before the rain.



Super Moon Just Before the Rain

I use a very high end graphic arts CRT and must compliment you on one of the most 3 dimensional pictures i have ever viewed on it, this picture is one in a thousand, if you would like to "Wall it" look to "Ink Jet" find a good machine tho, I swear it looks as if you could reach out and put your hand behind the moon, very hypnotic  congrats and thanks for posting

A slightly more provocative angle of the Liberty Memorial World War II Monument in Kansas City, MO.

This thing has such a wild mystic and daring nature defying look, Fritz Lang's metropolis could have included this, oddly, tho a WW "1" memorial, it has a similar look to Nazi architectural, the style was called "Egyptian Revival" I wonder what the wind sway at the top is ? , a building like this would have a least a built in of 1 foot.

GRACE RUBY: Thank your kind compliments, observations and comments!

[bside123]

Fred: Agree with PeteG. Can you tell us anything about the backstory of this photo? What? When? Where? etc.?

Nice story! And... what an electrifying image! Great timing. I stood in the same spot last year and captured this image. The spot is great
for an urban, cityscape.
