It seems I uploaded a bit of a lower resolution version of this photo but I'm not going to sweat it. Hope you still like it.

A kayaker navigates turbulent whitewater rapids, captured mid-action amidst churning water. The person is seated in a red kayak, gripping a paddle with bright red blades and maneuvering through the strong current. They are wearing a dark helmet and a black life vest for safety. The foreground is dominated by splashing white foam and flying droplets of water, emphasizing the roughness of the river. In the background, the water continues to flow rapidly, appearing darker and slightly out of focus compared to the whitewater spray in the foreground.
Perhaps one of my favorite accidentally awesome photos. I was shooting a kayaker running a rapid and for a brief moment the whitewater spray stole the focus pushing the kayaker into the #background. I loved the result.

Good summary Nish. I thought the "Practices that emerged as useful" was well stated and shared it with some colleagues since we were having similar conversations internally.
[Color Version] A small, fluffy white dog is lying down on a dark cloth surface. The dog has long fur and appears to be looking directly at the viewer with its head tilted slightly. A silver tag is visible on a collar around the dog's neck. The lighting is dim, creating shadows and highlighting the texture of the dog’s fur.

A white subject for a #lowkey shot? Game on. I posted the color version but definitely went back and forth on it and the #blackandwhite. I settled on the color because I liked the subtle hints especially around his nose.
Which do you prefer? #photography #52frames #52frames_lowkey
A hammer only works if you pick it up. Our checks and balances are the same. The tools are there, but they are not being used.
Thanks.. Makes sense. Was just curious if I was missing something.
What role is openwebui playing for you here as opposed to directly tying the CLI in to Ollama by way of it's Open AI or Anthropic API interfaces? Could it be adding some overhead?
Very nice. I've been playing with CLI w/ local models a little bit but don't have enough memory to really run the better models.
Still, I'm curious. Have you looked at the effectiveness of qwen3.5 vs qwen3-coder-next?
Thank you and the other volunteers.
Looks awesome but where can I go to check out this new bridge? (Sorry I'm kind of new to the area)
Naming Suggestion: "Fiesta Bowl" (given it's proximity to the restaurant) 😂
I also have real questions about how the flow is going to work. Traveling west on 250 it feels like the roundabout is positioned "too far to the right" (towards Brown's Gap).
I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it. 🤣
A kayaker is captured in mid-action, navigating through choppy water. The individual is wearing a shiny gold helmet, along with a bright green shirt and a lime green life vest. He is gripping a black paddle with red accents, with rapidly rushing water passing by. The kayak is a vibrant orange color with the brand name 'Dagger' clearly visible in white text on the side. A large spray of white water is churning up behind him, suggesting he is surfing a wave. The background water features streaks of blue and brown, emphasizing the motion and speed of the scene.
Surfing at Z-Dam in #RVA #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing #whitewater #kayaking. I've had the good fortune to get to know this kayaker. He studies and refines the fine details of paddling. If you ever get to see him in the surf, you'll see a zen like steadiness. #photography
A kayaker wearing a black helmet and a green and black jacket is navigating through turbulent, brown river water. The person is seated in a bright blue kayak that is tilted slightly upward and to the right, cutting through a wave. They are gripping a long paddle with both hands; the blade of the paddle is submerged in the water on the left side, creating a large, dramatic splash of white droplets that are frozen in mid-air. The water around the boat is churning with white foam and brown currents, indicating a fast-moving river environment. The word Jackson is visible in white text on the side of the blue kayak.

I have a nearly identical shot queued up but won't post because yours looks so great! It's always amazing watching them surf Z-Dam in the high water.
This high-angle, aerial photograph captures a river scene from directly above, looking straight down at the water's surface. The majority of the frame is dominated by dark, rushing water that churns into a chaotic swirl of white foam and rapids in the center. In the upper right quadrant, a bright red inflatable raft floats on relatively calmer water next to the turbulent section. Inside the oval-shaped boat, four people are seated in a circle arrangement. They appear to be wearing helmets and life jackets, and are holding paddles with yellow blades. To the left of the rapids, in the upper corner, large, smooth rocks with brownish hues are visible along the riverbed. The composition highlights the contrast between the calm water where the raft is and the rushing, white-water rapids nearby.

A dynamic action shot captures a kayaker navigating turbulent whitewater rapids. In the center of the frame, an orange kayak launches, partially submerged and surrounded by a massive explosion of churning white water. The kayaker, wearing a bright blue helmet, is visible inside the boat with their upper body and arms reaching upwards. They are gripping an black paddle shaft that extends high into the air above their head, suggesting a maneuver to stabilize the boat. The foreground is dominated by the violent motion of the river, with thick white foam and splashing droplets filling the lower portion of the view. In the background, large grey rocks form the riverbank, and patches of green vegetation are visible on the far side.
A kayaker launches out of the Pipeline Rapid on the James river in #RVA #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing #EastCoastKin #photography #whitewater #kayaking
This close-up photograph captures the intense motion of rushing river water in a rapid or near the edge of Z-Dam The scene is dominated by swirling currents where deep blue light reflects on the water with frothy, brownish foam. A large wave is cresting and curling over itself in the center, creating a sense of powerful forward momentum. Streaks of light, appearing as golden and yellow highlights, dance across the surface of the water, contrasting with the cool blue tones. The texture is highly detailed, showing individual droplets and the chaotic, blurred lines of water rushing diagonally from the upper left towards the lower right. There are no visible landmarks or text in the image.
If you know anything about my photography you know I LOVE shooting #whitewater so today's #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing theme is right up my alley. Expect a few posts throughout the day. Let's start with a simple image of the water itself. High flow at Z-Dam in #RVA #photography #EastCoastKin
Nice one! Ya know my flow photos later today are likely coming from z-dam as well. It's such a perfect representation of it.
Comments in the thread from parents seem to suggest the numbers are not what they seem.
Hmmm.. He broke the law (more than once) ... if only there was some kind of remedy for that. I mean, if I was brainstorming here I'd call it #impeachment and I'd expect my #senator to honor his oath of office and do something about it. @kaine.senate.gov
The UVA Rotunda building from directly above the dome. A high-angle, aerial shot captures a circular structure with radiating lines emanating from its center. This central area features a dark, circular opening surrounded by concentric rings of lighter-colored material. The structure appears to be made of light-colored stone or concrete and is situated on a paved surface. Surrounding the circular structure are rectangular sections, also paved, with darker areas that seem to contain landscaping or possibly pathways. Within these rectangular sections, there are hints of greenery and some small, dark objects that could be seating or decorative elements. The lighting suggests it is either early morning or late afternoon, as long shadows are cast across the paved areas. The sun appears to be positioned to the right of the frame, casting shadows towards the left. The overall impression is of a formal, possibly public space with a prominent architectural feature at its heart. The symmetry and geometric design of the structure are notable.
Another view of the iconic UVA Rotunda from directly above the dome.

A high-angle view captures the Rotunda at the University of Virginia, a prominent neoclassical structure featuring a large white dome and red brick facade. The central building is flanked by two long, covered colonnades that extend towards the viewer, framing a large rectangular lawn. Bare trees with intricate branch patterns surround the grounds, indicating late autumn or winter. Long shadows stretch across the green grass, suggesting the sun is low on the horizon, casting a warm golden light on the building's facade and highlighting the architectural details of the columns and pediment.

Great shot! Absolutely perfect for the prompt. I like that there's colored glass in play here.
The 35B variant ran surprisingly well even on my 24GB MBP.
Thanks @jbonewald.bsky.social The texture is a big reason it will probably be my final selection. I hope you're feeling better soon.
A panoramic view unfolds across rolling hills and mountains bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. The sky is ablaze with vibrant colors, transitioning from fiery orange and red near the horizon to softer hues of pink and pale yellow higher up. A shaft of sunlight, a bright ray, pierces through the clouds, illuminating a section of the landscape below. The foreground is dominated by densely forested hillsides, displaying a rich tapestry of autumn colors – deep reds, oranges, and yellows. These forested slopes gradually descend into a valley where scattered houses and fields are visible, their lights beginning to twinkle as dusk settles in. Further back, a series of mountain ridges stretch into the distance, their peaks silhouetted against the vibrant sky. The layers of mountains create a sense of depth and vastness, emphasizing the scale of the landscape. A few scattered farmhouses are visible nestled amongst the trees on the lower slopes, adding a touch of human presence to this expansive natural scene.

A close-up shot reveals a textured, knitted fabric. The material appears to be yarn with a slightly fuzzy, rustic feel. A complex pattern is woven into the fabric, featuring a mix of stitches and textures that create depth and visual interest. The color palette is warm and earthy, dominated by shades of orange, brown, yellow, and touches of purple. The yarn itself seems to have a variegated or speckled appearance, with different colors blending together within each strand. There's a sense of cozy warmth.
Another #52frames_complementarycolors candidate. This one feels like my more likely choice if I don't find something better. #52frames #EastCoastKin #photography #texture
A vibrant sunrise bathes a winter scene in warm hues of orange, yellow, and gold. The American flag waves prominently against the rising sun, its stars and stripes clearly visible despite the bright light. The flag is mounted on a tall pole that stands in front of a snow-covered walkway and a set of railroad tracks. The tracks curve gently into the distance, with a dark train car resting on them. A black metal fence runs along one side of the tracks, separating them from a paved walkway covered in snow. A few streetlights illuminate the path, and small piles of snow are gathered along the edges. Beyond the tracks and fence, a line of trees and buildings forms a gentle hill in the background. The sky is filled with the warm colors of sunrise, creating a dramatic backdrop to the scene. A few buildings are visible on the hill, including what appears to be a brick building with a chimney and some modern structures.
This one's doing double duty as both a #BlueSkyArtShow #sunlight and possible #52frames_complementarycolors. Also thinking a bit about our #teamusa #winterolympics team. From #charlotttesville #EastCoastKin #photography #landscape #52frames
