Wall, Banjul, The Gambia

Street-side wall of some buildings in Banjul. Taken from the tour bus, as we traveled through the city. Appears to be political graffiti on the wall. Do view on a black background. Image processed with GIMP.

Street, Fence, Gates, and Bench (HFF,HBM)

The street where our ship was tied up. This is one of the major streets in St. Johns, Newfoundland. It is quiet now, but later in the day, there was a constant stream of cars, motorcycles, and trucks passing by. The security fence had only one opening, so we all passed through the covered area going one way or the other. Some of the local folks brought their huge Newfie dogs to the port; very interesting. The tanker truck near the right is fueling up the ship. The busses are for the shore excursions. There are a few specks of orange/red color to liven things up. Note the bench across the street. The security fence has, of course, various gates, including the one that we had to walk through. Image processed with GIMP.

The Tables Are Ready (HTT,H.A.N.W.E.)

Street scene in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Our cruise stopped for a Sunday in this lovely port. Nothing much was open, but later in the day the main street was jumping (screech anyone?) I really liked the paint job on the Commercial Chambers building. So these tables aren't in use, but they are ready. Didn't expect that I would be taking "street photographs", but the fellow on the left had some business or other here, so he became part of the street scene. Image processed with GIMP.

As we walked around the town of Parintins in Brazil, I noticed these interesting statues of animals. It was raining. Image processed with GIMP.

Lahaina, Maui, Hawai'i, Baldwin Home Museum Ground…

The front area of the Baldwin Home Museum in Lahaina. We were there around the holidays, which explains the Christmas decorations on the street light poles. Looks like a nice place to sit and enjoy the endless parade. (UPDATE 2023: I fear that these buildings are now just smoking ruins.) Image processed with GIMP.

(Fire)Truck in Talkeetna, Alaska

This Mercedes (fire)truck was parked in downtown Talkeetna, Alaska. Just had to get a photo of it. I think that it has been restored as a vehicle for one of the local bars. (There seem to be a lot of bars in Talkeetna...) Image processed with GIMP.

Aren't they all? Taken during our visit in 2010. One point of view (observation) of people for the Sunday Challenge. Image processed with GIMP.
