Anzac Bridge with high contrast, originally uploaded by ximenatapia.
Never thought much of the program Preview (that automatically opens your photos) but I found out that it has a handy set of basic actions.On this one I manipulated the saturation, contrast and sepia tone in Preview.

I woke up this morning and it was as if somebody had gone mad with a paint brush. Jet contrails criss crossed the sky in every direction.

DSCF1467 - the Beijing Acrobats, originally uploaded by [Satbir].
Some laugh, others just look scared and confused. These children are trained from as early as five or six years old in the most brutal way possible. They are stretched and contorted and suffer mental and physical abuse in order to create a performance based on the same discipline and precision that underpins modern China’s external image.
Many looked genuinely terrified when they made a mistake on stage. As far as I’m aware, apart from a BBC documentary (Storyville), this is the only photo ever taken of the Beijing Acrobats outside performances.

Oaken Jewels Of The Forest, originally uploaded by peasap.
Finally back from my trip to Oregon. The trees were just turning and I had a brief moment one lunchtime to grab a few shots of leaves on the ground.
This is a rain soaked Oak leaf laying on the ground and at first glance looks nothing out of the ordinary, until you get up close. Then a whole new world emerges.
