Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a fishing shack well-known to students of art and art history as "the most often-painted building in America."

Built in the 1840s as Rockport became home to a colony of artists and fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. Painter Lester Hornby (1882–1956) is believed to be the first to call the shack "Motif Number 1," a reference to its being the favorite subject of the town's painters, and the name achieved general acceptance.

I went here in summer and was thinking of getting the bright red building against the blue sky, unfortunately the fickle New England weather turned on me and impending storm turned the entire sky white. So I decided to have some photoshop fun. Hope you all like it.

Another one that had escaped being processed from raw, I was looking for another file when I found this one and thought it was worth converting, taken at dusk at Caernarfon Castle, with the last of the sun just dissapearing and the lights of the castle becoming more prominent, thankfully hardly any wind so it kept the boats pretty still during the exposure, there's a tiny bit of movement in one or two but I don't think it's too distracting.

Le Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen in tedesco; Tré Thìme in dialetto cadorino) sono tre delle cime più famose delle Dolomiti, nelle Dolomiti di Sesto. Sono considerate tra le meraviglie naturali più note nel mondo dell'alpinismo con la Cima Grande che rappresenta una delle classiche pareti nord delle Alpi.

Si possono raggiungere dal lago di Misurina, da Carbonin e dalla val di Sesto e permettono la vista panoramica delle cime circostanti e del parco Naturale Tre Cime. Le Tre Cime di Lavaredo assomigliano vagamente a tre dita, che puntano verso il cielo compatte, armonicamente allineate, apprezzate dagli estimatori per forme e colori.
