Congrats to Randall, Gloubiboulga, and Gary! All very cool shots. Randall...where do you find this stuff? It's got to be like, a hippie colony in the desert or something?? I love it!!:D As usual, some great shots from everyone again this week! Thanks, Mfor, for an interesting topic, and another fun challenge!

Mike

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks MFor and Michael, and Congrats to Randall and Gloubiboulga!

Those are two glass containers that were made in a glass factory in Brazil
Campo Grande area, they were still making some rather bizarre bottles,
still learning the process, I found these two and took some shots of them
with a piece of paper draped behind them and ambient light, hand held very
still, the glass has nice range of colours and the shapes, well, were intriquing...

Thanks for the background, Gary...I was trying to ID the bottles, but finally gave up and decided to empty one of my own!:D

Congrats to the winners! Randall, I loved your photo...it was my fave entry as well. Thanks for the terrific hosting job MFor :)

[Randall n LV]

Thanks MFor for the challenge, and placing my photo first. Congrats to Gloubiboulga and Gary. My photo was taken in the little town of Goldfield, Nevada. Its half way between Las Vegas and Reno.Thanks Michael , you are very close except I think it was a very BORED junk yard/ tow truck/ rv park, owner in the middle of the desert.

You can check out the large version on my flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/29005507@N07/3342874559/

Congrats to Randall and Gary! Thanks MFor for hosting and judging this challenge…*and for placing my photo :)
When I've shot this cloud my G9's battery was very very low and it was a pity as the cloud kept on changing it's shape in many interesting ways, but I couldn't take more photos :(

Randall, I remember this series (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6165684&postcount=15) of photos… but still interesting and REALLY weird! :D ;)

[Kevan_G9]

Here I am...living in New York and I couldn't find anything weird. What can I say?

I suppose I could congratulate the winners here for some bizarre perspective. Just my kind of people.

I did have to quickly scroll past the piercing photograph. Squeamish...me with needles.
