A Blog for the flickr.com group "A Big Fave"
BamaWester describes himself as a "full-fledged, non-recovering waterfall-aholic," and with an ability to take amazing photos like this, it's no surprise! I am too a waterfall-alohic, I can't seem to get enough of photos of them! This photo is particularly beautiful as the water is so delicate as it heads towards the bottom. Thank you BamaWester for feeding my addiction! I hope you never "sober up"!

Here's a very unique photo of the Sydney Opera House. While a magnificent piece of architecture to photograph, the starburst effect in this particular photo makes the scene extra special, in my opinion. Excellent work! Thanks for sharing it with us in A Big Fave!

Sometimes you run across a photo that just makes your jaw drop. This photo did it for me. What a masterpiece! What a beautiful world!

I love the saturation and the square format used here. That is what caught my eye and made me take a closer look, but that's not why I blogged this. I love the concept that the title portrays: Heaven is an accessible place, a tangible location, a natural pastoral setting where people can actually go, not an inaccessible "Ivory tower" where only certain people go because they're more worthy in some way...

Hey, it's not every day you find Tom Sawyer! Excellent portrait, really seems like it's from another time period, and the boy himself seems so at ease!

I feel that this photo captures how we as a nation felt the day we found 32 minds snuffed out before they were given their chance to show the world their greatness.

It's been a rough week for us here in the United States as we mourn another terrible tragedy. I don't know about anyone else, but I need a little peace at the moment. This beautiful photo made me feel tranquil. Thanks for being such a great community here at A Big Fave!

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Spring is here. At least it is somewhere...
The beautifully saturated colors jumped right out of the pool and begged me to walk barefoot through the grass and onto the path that leads us right into the frame. Great work!

I saw this photo in a new members photo stream, and I immediately thought of the warm caramel nights in my home town, slow and lazy, but with a twinge of excitement for what ever the reason. This photo captures it right away... calming, yet exciting.

What can I say? I may officially be an adult, but I felt exactly like this little girl as another April day was wasted in cold, gray skies and rain. In my neck of the woods, winter is dragging on and spring is refusing to come! Is it true for you too? This fabulous photo made me smile. On another dreary day, at least we have Flickr friends we can share it with!

This is an astoundingly beautiful flower macro. I can hardly wait for summer when lilies come into bloom here!

This is such a beautiful photograph! The black and white really brings out the romantic and historic mood of the scene. Absolutely wonderful!

Truly a "revolutionary" photo! One can almost hear the noise and excitement of the crowd, fighting for the people's rights today, just as they did at L'Assemblée Nationale over 200 years ago!
Fantastic moment, great lighting and a wonderfully historic photo!

Wonderful portrait of this Hummingbird. So sharp, full of detail with fantastic colors !

I really like this unique & creative photo. The photographer's description is even better because it gives the subject a background story of interest:
Suffering years of abuse at the hands of a mad pianist this fine piece of melody making machinery lies bruised and battered waiting for tender, gentle hands to come by and caress its keys once more.

This abstraction is just astounding. I love the blue and the way this is framed. The reflections of the other buildings, and the short panels at the bottom add a nice anchor to the bottom but allows the eye to be drawn up. The warped perspective is superb. Fantastic work!

I love it when DOF was used creatively to get nice graphical image from ordinary things.

I love how the tones in this photo are dark but rich, making a very interesting mood! so artistic!

This is one of those ageless photos that speaks volumes! Beautifully done!

Wow, taking photos of animals is tricky, especially ones that fly! This photo was obviously snapped at the absolutely perfect moment and well...it's one of the most amazing animal shots I've ever seen! Congrats on a photo that made my jaw drop!

I am simply swept away by this photo! absolutely amazing, One can feel the drama of this photo as the yellow line forces you to look around the bend and ask your self, where will it lead, much as it is in life at times.

This beautiful photo made me smile on this wonderful spring day!

... and quite landing. That's what I am going to do now. Take a ride back home and land into my deserved leisure-time. It's a pleasure to do this with the amazing image from imapix! If you have left some time: Take a ride to his stream! Glad to have him as a regular contributor to ABigFav! And thank you all, for inviting such amazing images to our group!
