Ukraine - well done Milt, Michelle, Mike Di., Elaine, Joani, Jim and first time responder, Tony M.
"All that Jazz!"
Still in July, it's the annual New England Camera Club Council Conference at UMASS, Amherst! I have been a regular attendee for the past ten years. The last few I have packed my camera and shot the models. This energetic young lady was moving all around. I saw her pose similar to this with an earlier photographer and asked her for a similar pose with the red fedora.
I knew this would make a great B&W with just the hat left in full color!

Where in the World?
Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be?
This country is the westernmost country of the European mainland.
It became the first global maritime power during the 15th & 16th centuries.
Its Empire was the longest-lived of the modern European empires and was
spread throughout areas that now make up fifty-three different sovereign states. The
legacy of this exploration is that its language is today the 6th
most spoken first language in the world with over 240 million speakers!
Over
the years the empire has slowly been broken up, with Brazil gaining
independence after the revolution of 1910 and the African colonies of Angola,
Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor-Leste, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau in
1974 and 75. Macau was handed over to China in
1999 and East Timor granted sovereignty in 2002.
Its capital city is the oldest city in Western
Europe and one of the oldest cities in the world. It was devastated by a
major earthquake in 1755. Although the city was rebuilt within a few years, the
quake led to the country losing much of its wealth and status.
The
Vasco da Gama Bridge, over the Tagus River in the capital city is the largest in Europe
at 17.2 km's (10.7 mi).
The
cork tree is one of the few native trees still found here. The various
uses of the soft, spongy bark of the cork tree has made the country the largest
producer of cork products in the world.
Interesting Thought. . .

Worrying does
not take away tomorrow's troubles,
it takes away today's peace.

Leaving on a humorous note, I hope!
Why
does someone believe you
when you say there are four billion stars in the sky,
but checks the park bench
when you say the paint is wet?
