Terrific theme by Pat and thanks for using my photo as a banner, Mitch.

Great theme and a marvellous banner shot by Anders. I love that little boat; I wish I had one for myself.

Here are my pictures:

Scratching your backside can be difficult.

Dolphin tail

Capturing dolphins in the wild can be challenging. But I did get the back side.

Many thanks to Pat for hosting this week, and an intriguing theme she has chosen!! Took me some time to find some shots that fit the theme!! These are mostly older shots. 

1) The 'back side' of Liberty!!
Liberty 21

2)  The rear-end of the ferry to Ireland.
Reversing

3) At the back of the worker's houses in Batsto industrial village are some very important facilities!!!
Outhouses

4) You wouldn't think photographing the back of someone's head would be a good idea, but I still think this is one of the best candid shots I've taken.
No Worries

Hi Anders!  Seeing a boat as a banner image is always good but on a sunny and warm day like today here, in Lisbon, is really pleasant! What a coincidence.... In the afternoon, I will go on a sunset cruise...
A very uncommon and creative subject, Pat!

My interpretations of Pat's choice of theme range from people and things to animals...

Picture This #418 ~ Modes Of Travel

Many thanks to Heidi for hosting this week. Hope everyone enjoyed their 'break' from PT.  Here's my take on the theme.....four different types of transport.

1) Steam train. I kinda miss the days when train carriages had separate compartments, and a corridor. 
Going Loco

2) Similarly, old-fashioned sailing vessels seemed to have more character than modern liners. This schooner was moored in Cardiff Bay.
We Are Sailing

3) When in New York........hail a yellow cab!!
And They're Off

4) But really, there's only one way to fly.......

Thanks for hosting Benni and a wonderful banner photo.


A sunflower field in the area around Schaffhausen. It is an area where they grow them for the sunflower oil production.

This is what happens when the field has been mowed. It is left to dry in the sun to provide hay for the animals in the winter.

This field is in our village and in summer the cows take over.

And here another sort of field: vineyards in the Mosel area of Germany. The fields at the front belongs to the parents of my daughter-in-law. They also have a couple in higher places, but everything seems to grow on a slope in that area.
