My son had testing today at the college he will be attending in September. While he was busy, I roamed the campus and took a few pictures. "Checkmate, Next" was taken from a balcony on Founder's Hall looking across and down to a patio area.

John, This is a very nice, focused image. I can almost see Owd Bob sitting on the other bench! :) I hope your son did well on the testing. sandi♥

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
If Owd Bob is his opponent, he must have gotten up for a potty break, then. Very nice shot, John.

That is a statue, right? Not a real man? Or am I seeing things? Maybe I'm so tired I can't see it right! Please forgive me John, but at the same time this is really a neat capture! Very captivating! Cool!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Nice shot, I'd love to see more pictures from the campus.

Light travels faster than sound.
That's why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak.
Great shot Shads and nice to see you post one again. Your fire should be relit. I think you should make an avie out of this. This is how I view and think of you. A very good thinker. Also a great photographer.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost
I thought it was a real guy at first! lol Where is his partner or does he trade seats and play his partner's moves too? Best of luck to your son and remind him to 'Always go to class. That's half the battle and I wish someone had told me that a long time ago! Good to see you brought your camera and soon found something neat to shoot. Nice one, John!

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
Great shot John. Did you make the winning move there that has the sculpture puzzled? :o) I hope your son did well with the testing.

- Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Love the sculpture and it looks like he's in really thinking hard. He was taking too much time so his partner left for a break, lol. Really like the Title and the story, I wish your son best of luck at school. Fantastic capture, John.

Wonder if you can just sit down and start playing with him...? Would he move or say something? And would you jump up and run for the hills if he did? Lol! Niiice catch, John!

"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty

but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,

"WOW! What a ride!"'
Lost in thought playing chess... I bet this has given some students a nasty surprise after dusk!

Great capture. At first I did not realise it was a statue.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
