No Portraits allowed!

I feel like starting a discussion where we post photos that are not portraits (no people). While Neil's forum and tangents are dedicated to photos with people in them, most photographers I know shoot outside of their expertise.
A few rules:
1) The photo must be part of the text. I do not like having to download the photos to view them. Please use the INSERT IMAGE icon.
2) Lets limit the photo to 1024 on the largest size since bogging down Neil's bandwidth is not the goal here
3) One photo per post.
4) Please post more after someone else had their turn
5) Suggestion?
6) Is this discussion OK with Neil?
This photo was one of the first times that I "saw" the light. A cheap Canon T1i and a 85mm f/1.8 lens was used. It was several years back but remains as one of my favorites. The metallic print looks stunning...even if it is just a bench. A little bit of "vintage" processing was added for effect.

Shot with the Fuji X100s ... my walk-about camera.
I did bring up some detail in post, and added more punch to the image.
I spent a lot of time with Steve's wife, Linda helping her with her 650D. Anyway, this is a shot of an old truck in his "bone yard". Its an old Chevy. Two remotely 600EX-RT triggered speedlites here, left and right.
Awesome photo. Love the colors and details.
Update: I just recalled that the speedlite to the left was in a soft box as I had just done some portraits - apologies! It's a Glanz speedlite soft box. Here's the portrait: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=362602860529660&set=pb.180674968722451.-2207520000.1376739531.&type=3&theater

the high horizon line was an excellent choice and the drift wood gives the comp a nice anchor. Overall, the photo has a very calming effect. Send me a large file
This is a 200 second exposure with almost no color tweaking. I removed some weeds and dead pixels and not too much else for editing. The colors were caused by the "neutral" density filter and a custom WB. The B+W 10 stop is expensive but it does add a little color even if the claim is that it is neutral.
PS: When you know the rules, you get to break them. Rule of thirds can't always apply.....
Once you upload the file, you will then see an option to Insert Image come up, click that.
Also post one photo at a time. This is designed to keep the discussion alive and should keep it from turning into a "post 20 photos and run" type of thing...

SkyWheel in Myrtle Beach Ohio, long exposure
Ok, second shot has got a person in it, but he is a chef which makes him only half human, plus the focal point is the delicious looking lobster.
First, very nice shot, my mate is a macro nut, and, his favourite subject: Dragon Flies.
As to how to insert the image, once you upload it, a link then appears to 'Insert Image'
These shots, taken out of a small plane window during a trip back from an island wedding I had just done and a large storm was brewing, we touched down back on the mainland with 3 minutes of 'allowed' flight time left on the Civil Aviation Safety Authority's pilot's licence as there were no night time instruments, and hit the tarmac just before it bucketed down with rain and some hail.
Very bumpy ride but the shots of the storm so worth it, and yep, the sky was that black, the pilot took a large detour around the storm and it took 30 mins to get back instead of the usual 15-18 mins.
Also the last sunset shot was taken a week prior I had to work with on a late afternoon wedding. Islands, sunsets, what more can one wish for. The land you can see on the sunset horizon is the mainland, and there are small boats anchored in the bay behind where I was shooting.
Love it! Gonna steal it!
