Someone's been making little wing stickers and putting them up on these signs around town.

From the parking garage this morning. First real snow of the season.

These are great.

No Photoshop with me and my camera sucks, but if you'll pardon the poor img quality, I'll play too:

From a previous thread, some vinyl characters hangin' around my house...

You must live in a darn nice place, workerant, or at least you've found the best of it.

Just about every day starts at the train station.

These are all great! BoPo - I didn't realize you were right in the thick of it. We have exact opposite work settings - you're around tons of people and I'm around 4 cats. Here's the place where I spend fives days a week...

Usually there's a cat nearby, in this photo, it's Norma, who loves a good photo op.

I live in heaven. My road dead-ends into Great Smoky Mountains National Park in beautiful East Tennessee. From yesterday's thread, this is the closest webcam to my house. I take pictures in the morning as I walk my dog, though I have few winter pictures because it's still dark when we walk.

One more, taken on the way home today: inside the train station, via a little HDR app on my phone.

I have to apologise that my photos weren't taken today, or even on the same day (due to time pressures) but I hope I won't get banninated because of that.

posted by Senyar 13 January | 14:32

I don't think that was a requirement, Senyar...

posted by BoringPostcards 13 January | 14:56

Baninate Senyar! OFF TO METATALK!! Where's Jessamyn, is she still the Banhammer? Wait, that was 2002. And MetaFilter. Nope, you're okay, Senyar.

I keep trying to Like comments here. Guess I've been gone for a while. That's really cool, workerant.

workerant is close to me! We should do a meetup sometime. When it's more than 19 degrees out. ;-)

Many if not most of these have probably been seen here before but, oh well, here they are again.

Just around the corner; some older houses that used to be outside the city limits but are inside Utrecht now.

My camera was hanging from my neck and I was looking in another direction. So the woman of moroccan descent didn't know I was taking a picture and thought I didn't see her.
Makes me wonder what she was thinking while inspecting me. Strange.

Part of the bike parking at the central station in Utrecht. In front is a bike path.

View from the train going to Amsterdam. Polders, sheep, windmill, small canals to drain the water. The old fashioned Dutch landscape.

Some brick ornament in A'dam.
Rather heavily processed to make it clear what struck me about it.

Btw I took these pictures yesterday for this metachat post. Rapportage!

I liked your pictures as well:
theophile: urban fox pictures. Makes me wonder how you capture them.
tommasz; snow!
shane: working with blood!
workerant: a fearsome owl in the backyard!
boringpostcards has very interesting looking work environment
mygoth: hoola hipsters in Asheville. And I have no idea where Asheville is.

jouke, there's something about those purple chairs that makes me think that when no one is looking they get up and gallop about joyfully.
