The other day, while in the refuge... a young lady was running...
We kept leap-frogging as I would stop for a photo and then pass her
again....

Ok, worked on getting this one just right....

It is a pair of chess photos and the position is from an actual game... From a realism point, that was important to me even know the position is not all in focus!

The position is Karpov–Kasparov Game 16 of the 1985 World Championship Match. Kasparov obtains a dominating position for his knight (which Raymond Keene referred to as "The Octopus Knight") and wins.

Now the photos.....

Chess is a game of many facets, two of the most important are:

Position........




and Time........




Hopefully you enjoyed and were not too bored..
Good, bad or indifferent, I achieved the effects I was looking for..

Calling this Gator Day!


Here is a baby out sunning....




Call this "Eye of the Gator"!




Just a crusty old gator....




Unlikely Friends! I was taking a shot from a different angle
of the turtle... never spotted the gator... Then I moved!
Both just laying there sunning... juvenile gator!

It's amazing how the turtle knows the gator isn't hungry. I would be looking at the gator in case it decided to move. Nice shots Pat.

Good shots of the eclipse Pat. Saw a little bit of it, but it was way cloudy. According to NASA, 6:25am was suppose to be when it was really red.
