Show Your Snaps...October 4, 2022

This is the weekly Show Your Snaps thread where we invite you to show your own snapshots or even choice pictures. I'll be sure to comment about your photos, if you choose to share.

Thankfully I wear my glasses to protect me from grain shrapnel!

In the first picture, what type of boat is that? Is that a transport for people?  The second photo of the sunlight, darkness and clouds is absolutely beautiful.

Lake Tahoe - Thanks

Thanks.  I had to climb up high enough above the trees for that view.

According to Wikipedia, Octopus is a 414-foot (126 m) megayacht built for Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. She is one of the world's largest yachts. Launched in 2003 at a cost of $200 million, Octopus is a private vessel that has been loaned out for exploration projects, scientific research initiatives and rescue missions.[1]

Thanks.  I purchased the Canon 18-135mm USM lens for less than $150 (USD) on Ebay.  It replaced the Canon 18-55mm lens that I was using. I've never seen another one at that low of a price.  Usually, they are a little more than $200.
