Friday Foto Fun 15

Downtown Action Raipur City, India
Originally uploaded by philputnam.

Another Friday, another new foto, never before seen on Theep Doughts. Of course, if you check my photoblog daily, you saw this last week. (You have bookmarked my photoblog right? Or subscribed to the RSS feed? What? You haven't? Fine, your loss.)

This was obviously taken on my trip to India, exactly a year ago actually. Boy, time does fly. The action in the city never really slows down, even at night. People are always going somewhere, usually on bikes or rickshaws, and the occasional water buffalo. (Sing with me, "Everybody's got a water buffalo, yours is fast but mine is slow.")

Enjoy your weekend. It's lovely fall weather here in Texas. And have a Happy Thanksgiving. I personally am thankful for all 3 of my readers. Even "anonymous".

Wow, two weeks in a row of previously unblogged photos. This is a rare treat for you. This is in Puerto Rico, on the southwest point. The spot where I'm standing to take this shot is the same place the girls are standing in this shot. Here I'm looking back north, and in that one I'm looking west.

You have been checking my photoblog everyday, right? I mean, I'm posting a new shot there everyday, so I hope you're taking advantage of it. It has an RSS feed, so you can subscribe and get the new shots automatically with a feed reader.

OK, enjoy your weekend!

Election Day

Vote early, and vote often, like me.

That is all.

Friday Foto Fun 13

A Break in the Clouds

Ah...finally! A Friday Foto that isn't a repeat. This was a shot from an epic journey I took with some friends a couple of years ago, a journey to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and back again. The weather on this trip was unseasonably wet for the canyon. Lots of rain at night, usually right at bedtime. Huge gusts of wind whipped over the edge of the rim, along with lots of precipitation.

This shot was taken on the ascent out. A strong storm had just hit the opposite rim, which was about 8 miles away. Suddenly, the sun broke through the clouds for just a moment, and I snapped this shot.

My Flickr page is located here. Don't forget my new photoblog here for daily pictures.

A sister for Theep Doughts!

Fresh on the heels of a new sister for Abraham and Rachel, I'm proud to announce a new sister for Theep Doughts. A sister blog that is. I've started a photo blog, named Phetty Protos.

Why, you may ask, would I do such a thing, when all I do on this blog is post pictures anyway? Well, Phetty Protos uses a service called Aminus3, and is a true photoblog. The focus is on the images, and allows a better platform on which to view them. It also has a really groovy comment system. My goal is to have a photo posted 6 days a week. So you'll want to check it daily, as well as Theep Doughts. If you use RSS, you can track both of my blogs through feeds. If you don't use RSS, you really should.

I'll still post a Friday Foto each week here, but I'll try to add some other things and free up Theep Doughts to be what it was created to be...a compendium of thought...now with more raisins!

Enjoy the new photoblog, let me know what you think.
