** Weekly X-Series Photo-Sharing Thread 12 MAY – 18 MAY**

We have the same rules here —but there’s plenty of gravel. Not to mention non-cycling opportunities.

Thanks. Finally getting better, I think! Hopefully the echo chamber stops soon and my chest doesn't feel like garbage.

I shoot Nikon these days, but really enjoy this thread. The different structure of the forums here at dprevived makes me more likely to visit it, than previously at dpreview. Nice work folks - some terrific images this week!

FWIW, I still have considerable affection for my prior X-E2 & the brilliant Fujinon lenses… which are still used by nieces & nephews to this day.

Nice words and thanks. Feel free as a "prior X-E2/Fujinon lens shooter to post some images.

Scaligero Castle in Sermione

It was wet. I've posted views and the bicycle. Thought I'd post the facade. It is totally empty but they charge to go in and explore. Love medieval castles!!!! Craft a European trip focusing on castles and I'll be first in line!!

Maria Malibran from La Scala Museum

Nothing too special from a photographic perspective....just historical. A lot of paintings and busts in the Museum. There were so many people it was difficult to get images of almost anything. However I was able to bond with Maria who, according to sources, was a Spanish singer and allegedly the best known opera singer of the 19th Century. I'll pick something a little more special for the beginning image for next week.

On the road, again !

Well... maybe second in line. Really lovely shot, and the people really add a nice sense of scale.

I'm also pretty enamored with castles as well as cathedrals, both of which are places we try to visit when we head to Europe. Alas, thanks to COVID, it's been a good while since we've been able to do that (but finally, some plans in place for a trip there in August).

Not sure how I missed it. That image of the falls is nothing less than superb!!

Typical for April, but unusually for Ocracoke in May, winds and seas have been ferocious every day for the past week, so we haven't been able to take the sailboat out.

An island house on the water:

A few of the dogs in action in wild surf (I don't take the Fuji equipment on the boat unprotected or out in blowing salt spray and sand):

We set up a little tent in the lee of the truck to protect them from the sand that was blowing hard enough to sting exposed skin:

Ferocious weather again today. Looking into the crystal ball, I think I see "shopping" in my immediate future this afternoon. 😁

Great images and excellent editing as usual. But you should have saved these for the new Weekly Thread which starts tomorrow! Or you can post the same ones!

Bob

Thanks Greg! You are way too kind...

Amazing waterfall photo. Where was it taken?

This is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland.
