After seeing this iPad billboard out of the corner of my eye once last winter, every time I saw it I’d think of this Flash statue. [K] #signs #theflash #apple #ipad #billboards #jaygarrick

Fireworks Without Focus
I took a zillion photos of last night’s Independence Day fireworks display, but this one stood out for an odd reason: The camera didn’t focus properly. I’m not sure why “fireworks mode” doesn’t automatically set focus to infinity, but it made for a really interesting effect.
Here are ten more highlights from the evening.
We went out for coffee on the pier after fireworks last night and found this thematically appropriate sign
Fireworks for July 4. As it turns out, the cloud cover wasn’t a problem after all.

The challenge is still open!
The #speedforce5th challenge is still open! Post your favorite flash memorabilia with that tag. As for this pic, I love the expression on the doomed construction worker that the Flashes of two worlds are racing to rescue. I couldn’t use this for the announcement, but wanted to put it somewhere.

Curves of Morro Bay
Morro Bay lies along the central California Coast near San Luis Obispo, and is known for two major landmarks: Morro Rock, a large volcanic dome right near the shoreline, and a power plant with three very tall smokestacks.
Some miles north, Highway 46 cuts through the coastal mountains from Cambria to Paso Robles, revealing cattle ranches, wineries, and empty hills. There’s one spot along the road where the hills part, revealing a perfect view of the bay and the rock. Better yet, there’s a turnout, making it easy to stop and look.
The first time I drove this way, it was gray and overcast, and might actually have been raining. A year later I took the same drive again on an sunny day, unable to remember how far along the turnout was but watching for it the whole way. The result: this shot.
The curves of the dome, the bay, the rolling hills and the patch of heavier vegetation all fit in with this week’s photo challenge theme.
