Fantastic image, Tammy! So well-shot and processed, it might just jump right over the EP AND silver badges to reach the Golden Circle! #10619353Jim Baines March 22, 2013
Humans are usually thought to be the only beings who have a sense of humor. However, there are many people who do not have it. It is my opinion that people who have a good sense of humor have an advantage over those who don't. Therefore, I strongly believe that a good sense of humor is one of the most important human qualities. My first point is that people who have a good sense of humor are often more popular with others than those who don't. It is simply because humans find it more interesting to talk with people who are able to inject some humor instead of only talking about everything seriously. Also, having a good sense of humor can cheer up other people. To illustrate, if a person has some problems, he or she may "cheer up" after talking to a person who can make some non-offensive jokes. Thus, having a good sense of humor can make one more popular among others, which is very important in so many situations. Secondly, a good sense of humor can help a person in making a career. People who have this sense usually get on well with their colleagues and with their bosses; thus, they are more likely to be promoted. This is another reason why a good sense of humor is one of the most essential human qualities. Last but not least, people who have a good sense of humor enjoy their lives more than those who do not. They usually are optimistic about various situations, and, as a result, they are more likely to have success not only in their "working" life but in their private life too. These people can more easily bear the difficulties they face with their families. Thus, they live happier lives.~ Jimbogh

All the hard work and the not giving up paid off for you City. I love how the gorgeous colors change so slightly starting at the top and changing on the way down. Beautiful work and look dear friend. Have a great day. #10619543Carol Teal March 22, 2013
Jim, I totally agree with your perspective on humor. And while you didn't mention it, I am sure a good laugh has health benefits attached too! #10619797Terry Cervi March 23, 2013

Well, all I can say is that trek up the highest peak in NV in the wee early morning hours, complete with a mule train to carry your equipment over the treacherous mountainous terrain - fighting off hungry coyotes and evil-tempered rattlesnakes - paid off handsomely with that one perfect shot. Yes, just one - all that's required of a photographer of your enviable vast knowledge and expertise. I'm humbled in your presence, oh Magnificent One. Onward to the GP!!!!! #10673937Val Feldman April 29, 2013
