I did this thing because I wanted to make something out of my reaching 555 posted pictures. I've lasted longer than I expected; I've learned more than I thought I would; and 365 has become more than just a source of inspiration and ideas to me. I wanted to remind everyone of just how very different we are - even as we find joy in very much the same things! This community is just so cool... ;-)

Ooh, I'm not sure I'm that patient...? ;-p How about you do this when the time comes around? ;-)
@stoat
That was pretty - and weirdly christmassy for a July picture... ;-) Reminds me I never got a round to using my glass spheres much... ;-p
@sjodell
Ooh, Sarah, that's cheating! ;-p You have to post a new one in a few days...! ;-) Nice try, though; very nice. ;-p
@soboy5
I love that building! I've never been there, but I've seen loads of pictures of it over time. It's very iconic, and your take on it is very good! ;-) But, uhm.. isn't that your 556th? ;-p
@la_photographic
Ok, I'm curious; what exactly are we looking at? The heavy silhouette is a cross? Tell us more!
@seanoneill
That's one of the best shots I've ever seen of the Battersea Power Station...! Utterly cool processing! ,-)
@peterdegraaff
That's a beautiful landscape... A great reminder to once in a while to stop and notice the things around us. Sometimes I think that - just as 'you can never be a prophet in you own land' (Does that expression even work in English?) - you grow blind to the beauty of the land surrounding you.
@leananiemand
Such a great match for the picture posted just before yours! ;-) Loving the lines and the layers of the landscape. You bring us such wonderful glimpses from the world...
@roachling
What a jagged landscape...! ;-) I've got to say; that really doesn't look like it was taken in a 30 degree temperature... but the I'm used to the Centigrade scale... ;-p It looks like an impressive place; wild, untamed and beautiful...
@smevvy
Looks yummy... ;-) Have you ever tried making cocktails with fresh raspberries? Makes me wonder if you could make one like a Mojito - just with raspberries instead...) ;-p Hope your enjoying the new house!
@wenbow
I realize it's waterlilies and a summer shot, but my first impression was autumn and wet leaves... ;-p Loving the colors and the angle of the shot. ;-)
@kalexa
I love the way you combined picture and text in that one. "One Day" has also been one of my favourite Ultravox songs... ;-p For some reason, the Tom Hiddleston quote reminded me of that.
@salza
I'm loving the quiet majesty of that shot. It looks like a fascinating place to explore.
@kannafoot
Great composition. Reading your accompanying text, I think it relays the feel of history very well. I like how you've managed to capture the glow of the lamps, even with the competing natural lighting.
@lynnb
The choice of high key lighting/processing makes this an almost abstract play with colours. I like the warmth of it.
@sjoblues
"Sometimes it's annoying that camera can't capture the full effect of what it is your eye sees." I so very much agree with you on that one! ;-) Makes me wonder what you saw that you couldn't bring into the shot - because that isn't bad at all...
@grizzlysghost
I love the result! That picture speaks to me. ;-) It contains several of my favourite things; a nice cuppa, books and photography! ;-) I've got three of Scott Kelby's books myself.
@michaelelliott
I absolutely love that composition! It's fav'able, I say! ;-) But it's either the 144th shot in your second year or the 502th over all? Show us the 555th over all, please! ;-p
@sunnygreenwood
I remember these from my mum's garden, although I forget their name in Norwegian. A fitting picture for this time of year. ;-)
@emmapureangel
You can NEVER go wrong with chocolate, I says! ;-p Looks yummy. Judging by your faces, one of you more than the other... ;-p
@calm
Wow... as I've never seen a turkey up close in real life, I appreciate the details in this shot... ;-) Would have been a freaky halloween mask...
@johnnyfrs
I felt there was something vaguely familiar... and of course; Oxford Station! I was there this summer. Never noticed that ball, though... Kicking myself. As for your shot; never mind grainy; the mood and feel of the shot is brilliant! ;-)
@harley84
The best 'Smiling Buddha' I've ever seen! Could it have anything with the 'empty' bottle of Coke behind him? ;-p
@jantan
Talk about a story of contrasts... ;-p I love how you've managed to blend a feel of silhouettes and details in that 'skyline'. ;-)
@sewsharyn
Ok, the punishment is that you'll have to do this for the 888th! ;-p (Sadly, I wont' be able to take part - yet...)
@grizzlysghost
Such a contrast to your first... ;-) Kind of envious of your having time enough to be that active. My new job really took off this year, so my decision to take a more relaxed approach this year was a wise one. ;-p
Everyone; thank you so much for following up on this one and sharing your moments! ;-D
@mittens
I like that colour splash the sun makes; it's very warm and summerly. It's raining here at the moment... ;-p
@bobfoto
Great match for Mittens' picture! ;-) Your line would make a great book title by the way; "Coconut in a mountain village". ;-) Your pic is post card material.
@shawnasays
Made me laugh a bit. Pets can be very human. And of course they prefer animal shows...! ;-)
@la_photographic
I get that; dividing your composition into thirds and moving your focus to the sides or bottom is always a great tool when looking for a more expressive shot. What I was really wonder about, was that great roundish shape; is that really a cross? Looks kinda cool.
@roachling
I took a peek, and man would I love to spend a few days in that landscape...! ;-)

Great show of community spirit - in more ways than one! ;-) Nice catch.
Thanks for the reply! The photo was taken in the evening, when it had cooled down! It is a rugged and beautiful landscape :) http://roachling.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/summer-evening-frolic.html
