    Happy shooting!
    Again, the rules are simple:

    Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    and most importantly have fun.

    This is a well thought out image Ohm, it beats my image I drove though the intersecton heading to my exercise class, I imeadiately turned around and parked near the interchange to take some images.

    Craig, the photo of the intersection looks good, and a scooter appears in this busy area.

    This way of painting direction lines, "dot and line," isn't found around here.

    IMG_5474.jpg IMG_5481.jpg Looking up the word "Dots" in the dictionary, its most important meaning is punctuation marks. I remembered an old book my little brother brought home from some aunts in Torredembarra. In the 19th century, from 1820 to the 1860s, serialized novels or feuilletons became fashionable. Basically, several pages were published each day in newspapers or magazines, and once the novel was finished, readers who wanted it could have it bound.
    They were usually about some medieval figure, the more lurid the better. The book contains two biographies: one of Men Rodríguez de Sanabria, lieutenant to Pedro I, the Cruel of Castile (during the time of the Black Prince), and the other, a little later, around the year 1400, about Constable Álvaro de Luna, the illegitimate son of a nobleman, who befriended John II of Castile, rising to the position of Constable (commander of the armies) and becoming the richest man in Castile. He also made many enemies, who eventually led to his execution in the main square of Valladolid. The literary quality was generally low, and they had to be written quickly.
    The photographs are:

    1. Photograph of the closed book.

    2. Photograph of the open book.

    And 3. Photograph of a page showing some punctuation marks.

    No shower tray. Glass ball (plexiglass) with bubbles in it. I like the way it plays with light.
