( companion to yesterday's posting )
...Several mintues after taking yesterday's image of the sunrise on "The Crooked Street" - I turned the tripod around and caught this image. The jogger is a nice touch I think.
If you look closely - you'll see an ad for Stephen Phillips Photography on the side of the cable car. (please don't tell the Municipal Railway) - shameless self-promotion. The cool thing, though - is that the photo in the ad is the sunrise I had just taken - now showing on the passing cable car.

@Eric Fry: Goes to show - the most effective ad agencies are the ones you sit on.
@Walter: Welcome to AM3!
Your question is a good one. Your best judgment should guide you. Frequently - when a post contains no description, it would be best served to provide one. A beautiful village with colorful people and lush light instantly begs - '...but where is this?'. Rarer is the person that drones on about something that is obvious. That would be the thing to avoid.
Long posts can make for a most enjoyable blog. We are currently being treated to a journal by DJ Tigersprout who flew into an Alaskan Village in the far north on the shortest day of the year. The haunting light in his photographs is fascinating - and I find myself hanging on every word in his story. His blog is http://visionlogic.aminus3.com/.
And I need to mention our daily prose author, Sherri Schaefer Bagby from Little Rock, Arkansas - who treats us to a beautiful image, an insightful narrative, and a closing literary quote - with nearly every posting. She provides a post that has become part of my daily routine - like the friendly neighbor that stops by to chat.
So, again, welcome. Bring enthusiasm to your photography and what you have to say. You will find here a welcoming community of critics and friends.
@alex centrella: Oh, no. No way. Not that. Thank you for the thought but in light of what the current fellow with the position is leaving us - I can't imagine anyone wanting this role. Nevertheless, on a serious note - I pray for leadership. We've been without for so long. We need a Roosevelt like statesman to right our path. There is peril in our land - at the hands of anti-government ideologues, corporations, and the self-righteous.
@Twelvebit: The sunrise on the advertisement is the same sunrise bing reflected in the widow of the cable car - that was the idea. Photoshop®.
@dj.tigersprout: ...you know my plug was sincere. Your Alaskan adventure is a perfect example of how - through blogging - the Internet as a whole, and communities such AM3 specifically - are changing the world and strengthening the bonds of human understanding.
