nrhp # 89002223- The Burt County Courthouse is a historic building in Tekamah, Nebraska, and the courthouse for Burt County, Nebraska. It was built in 1916-1917 to replace the old 1878 courthouse.[2] It was designed in the Beaux Arts style by Rose & Peterson.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 10, 1990.

nrhp # 71000406- The Gros Cap Cemetery, once known as the Western Cemetery,[3] is a cemetery located southeast of Gros Cap, Michigan on US 2. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the United States to be continuously used,[2] and a portion is contained in the Gros Cap Archaeological District. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1970[2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
In the late 17th century, a group of Ottawa Indians settled in the area around West Moran Bay.[4] The village had, at one time, 1500 people living in it.[5]
The Gros Cap Cemetery was originally adjacent to the tribal village[4] and was used as their burial ground.[2] As more European settlers moved into the area, the Ottawa population decreased due to further emigration or intermarriage with the arriving settlers. However, the cemetery continued to be used by French, English, and eventually American settlers.[2] In 1889, the cemetery was placed under the jurisdiction of Moran Township, at which time the size of the cemetery was reduced and some of the remains reburied within the smaller remaining area.[3] Later, the cemetery was increased in size to the north and east.

St. Louis, MO. June 2009.
I got a wild idea to build myself a beauty dish the other day. I found one online that cost about $30 plus $12 shipping so I set my DIY project budget at $10.
I already had some paint (though I bought some more today) and some sandpaper.
My beauty dish is actually more of a beauty bowl 12" diameter and well bowl shaped because it's made from a bowl.
Bowl (thrifted) $2
Various bolts, washers, nuts $3
Round electric box cover $2.50
I probably had at least three of those sitting around my old house before I moved).
The expensive part was this dryer vent coupling thing that I had never seen before. It has two halves that twist and lock together in order to take your dryer vent duct hose apart. Now why you would want to do that or why you couldn't simply unscrew it I don't know. It's really sort of a silly product. It cost $6.50 but really yields two parts that can be used to make two separate dishes.
So anyway with a little paint I am probably closer to $15 which is probably money I could have used to buy the real deal but then I would not have wasted had a fun day making this.
So this is the first shot out of the thing. Apologies to my model who had no time to escape prepare and the fact that I did zero post-production work on this with the exception of increasing the exposure slighty.
Strobist info: Manual flash 200th at f11 approx five feet away from subject. No ambient shown in test shot without flash. sb800 1/16th power triggered with cactus v2. Auto white balance.
This came out slightly underexposed which is not a surprise because the camera was set on ISO 200 and the flash was set on ISO 400 (don't ask)
What I have learned so far: "What? This is supposed to be a learning experience?"
1)My bowl dish is probably too small in the classic sense of what a beauty dish is supposed to be. It's apparent size makes it more of a hard light source.
2) It would be nice to have a boom for my light stand.
3) Time is money (I'm off today so it's my time).
4) The shape of this thing is way wrong. It bounces light all over in addition to what you are trying to send to the subject. The best way to see this is to shoot a bare wall at different distances (more on this later). This thing is acting sort of like a mini umbrella creating sideways fill. Of course if I can figure out how to exploit that it can be a good thing.
5) Think dish not bowl if you are going to make one of these.
6) Experimenting with lighting is a great way to waste time learn.

Bateleur
The bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus) is a medium-sized eagle in the family Accipitridae. Its closest relatives are the snake eagles. It is the only member of the genus Terathopius and may be the origin of the "Zimbabwe Bird", national emblem of Zimbabwe.[2] It is endemic to Africa and small parts of Arabia. "Bateleur" is French for "street performer"
The average adult is 55 to 70 cm (22 to 28 in) long with a 186 cm (6 ft 1 in) wingspan. The wing chord averages approximately 51 cm (20 in). Adult weight is typically 2 to 2.6 kg (4 lb 7 oz to 5 lb 12 oz).[4]
The bateleur is a colourful species with a very short tail (ecaudatus is Latin for tailless) which, together with its white underwing coverts, makes it unmistakable in flight. The tail is so small the bird's legs protrude slightly beyond the tail during flight. The bateleur is sexually dimorphic; both adults have black plumage, a chestnut mantle and tail, grey shoulders, tawny wing coverts, and red facial skin, bill and legs. The female additionally has tawny secondary wing feathers. Less commonly, the mantle may be white.[5] Immature birds are brown with white dappling and have greenish facial skin. It takes them seven or eight years to reach full maturity

Águia Nailarina
A Águia-nailarina (Terathopius ecaudatus) é uma águia de tamanho médio da família Accipitridae. Seus parentes mais próximos são as águias de cobra. É o único membro do gênero Terathopius e pode ser da origem da "Zimbábue Bird", emblema nacional do Zimbábue. É endêmico na África e em pequenas partes da Arábia. "Bateleur" é francês para "artista de rua"
O adulto médio tem 55 a 70 cm (22 a 28 polegadas) de comprimento e uma envergadura de 186 cm (6 pés 1 in). O acorde de asa mede aproximadamente 51 cm (20 pol). O peso adulto é tipicamente de 2 a 2,6 kg (4 lb 7 oz a 5 lb 12 oz).
O bateleur é uma espécie colorida com uma cauda muito curta (o ecaudatus é latim para o rabo sem cauda) que, juntamente com os seus mantos de asa branca, o torna inconfundível em voo. A cauda é tão pequena que as pernas da ave se projetam ligeiramente para além da cauda durante o vôo. O bateleur é sexualmente dimórfico; ambos os adultos têm plumagem negra, um manto castanho e cauda, ombros acinzentados, coberturas de asas amareladas e pele vermelha facial, bico e pernas. A fêmea também tem penas de asa secundárias tawny. Menos comumente, o manto pode ser branco. As aves jovens são marrons com dappling branco e têm pele facial esverdeada. Leva sete ou oito anos para atingir a maturidade plena

Strobist info - Canon Speedlite 550EX with diffuser +2 power. camera right (it was sitting on top of two camera bags as I can't afford a lightstand and brolley yet, - the holidays were &^$£ expensive) and oh yeah, no post-processing whatesever...ok, ok, I cropped it just a tiny bit from the bottom
This shot is exciting for me for a number of reasons
1 - Its my very first proper SP posted here on Flickr - Never was interested in SPs and just didn't get it at first. But must admit, have grown to like the idea just enough to do one myself. Plus, its a fantastic way to practice.
2 - It my first off-camera flash shot - I never liked flash. But having to use it for a couple of clients, I learned that flash is your friend. Now I just have to learn how to use it properly. This shot was the last of about 50 taken tonight.
3 - Its my first post in the New Year of a shot TAKEN during the New Year.
Lots of firsts and I have a good feeling this year about me and my photography. Thanks to all the flickrites, I am growing more and more each day....(ok, nuff sobby stuff)
ps. this is the first time i have babbled this much about a shot!

Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts was founded in 1831 as "America's first garden cemetery" or "rural cemetery". With classical monuments set in a rolling landscaped terrain,[2] it marked a distinct break with Colonial-era burying grounds and church-affiliated graveyards. The appearance of this type of landscape coincides with the rising popularity of the term "cemetery", derived from the Greek for "a sleeping place." This language and outlook eclipsed the previous harsh view of death and the afterlife embodied by old graveyards and church burial plots.[3] The 174-acre (70 ha) cemetery is important both for its historical aspects and for its role as an arboretum. It is Watertown’s largest contiguous open space and extends into Cambridge to the east, adjacent to the Cambridge City and Sand Banks cemeteries. It was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2003 for its pioneering role in 19th-century cemetery development.

Antwerp (Listeni/ˈæntwɜrp/, Dutch: Antwerpen [ˈɑntʋɛrpə(n)] ( listen), French: Anvers [ɑ̃ˈvɛʁ(s)], Spanish: Amberes) is a city and municipality in Belgium and the capital of the Antwerp province of Belgium. With a population of 510,610,[2] it is by far the most populous city in Belgium. The capital region of Brussels, whose metropolitan area comprises the city itself plus 18 independent communal entities, counts over 1,190,769 inhabitants, but these communities are counted separately by the Belgian Statistics Office.[3] The Antwerp metropolitan area is currently the second largest in Belgium.[4] Antwerp is located on the river Scheldt, which is linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde estuary. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest ports in the world, ranking third in Europe and within the top 20 globally. Antwerp is classified as a Global City.
Pins 16 and 2 are both strapped to +5V. This mod separates pin 16 from pin 2, and the wire brings +5V back, to power the multiplexor. Note that the solder (and pin remnants) have been removed from the pass-through hole. Since this hole connects through to pin 2, it will be used to take an the address line through from underneath.

Saw Sharrington's photo and could definitely relate - I have drawers full of yarn, loads of patterns saved, and no time to make use of any of them. SO instead, I thought I'd wrap my head in this awesome rainbow yarn, one of my favourites, about time I actually used it for something.
Things I discovered today:
1. It's quite hard to wrap your own head in yarn.
2. It's quite hard to breathe once you've wrapped your own head in yarn.

I go through the Mailbox in Birmingham quite a lot, and one thing's always struck me, well several things actually.
1) It's cold and wet and the wind whips through the narrow building.
2) It's on the wrong side of New Street station for the rest of retail Birmingham.
3) I've never seen anyone buying anything in the shops.
4) There are precious few people in the complex full stop.
I therefore wasn't surprised when I saw the first closing down sale signs appearing.
Rents must be expensive in this high-profile building, and I've never seen the number of people I would have thought necessary to make having a shop here profitable.
I've never visited at lunchtime however, so it may be a different story then, but I can't help feeling that this sign might be the first of many.
The Oregon Zoo was founded in 1888, making it the oldest North American zoo west of the Mississippi.[2] It all began with two grizzly bears purchased by Richard Knight.
A former seaman turned pharmacist, Knight began collecting animals from his seafaring friends. He kept his collection in the back of his drug store on Third & Morrison streets. When caring for the animals became too large a responsibility he sought to sell them to the city of Portland. Instead of buying the animals, the city offered to give Knight two circus cages and allowed him to place the caged bears on the grounds of City Park (now called Washington Park).
Care and feeding of the bears, however, still fell to the Knight family and friends. It wasn't long before Knight addressed the city council again regarding the bears. Just five months later, he offered to donate the young grizzly, along with its cage (it is unclear what happened to the second bear) to the city. Portland City Council accepted his offer on November 7, 1888, and began the Portland Zoo.
By 1894 there were over 300 animals in the zoo’s collection. In 1925, the zoo moved to the site of the present Portland Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its current site, designed by Lawrence, Tucker & Wallmann.[7] The zoo was renamed the Portland Zoological Gardens in 1959.[2] At this time, Washington Park and Zoo Railway was constructed to connect the zoo to its former site, and the other attractions in Washington Park.
The zoo became popular locally in 1953, when Rosy the Asian elephant was acquired. The zoo became world-famous in 1962 when the Asian elephant "Packy" was born. He was the first elephant born in the western hemisphere in 44 years and is (as of 2010) the tallest Asian elephant in the United States at 10.5 ft (3.2 m) tall. A total of 28 more calves have been born at the Oregon Zoo, including seven sired by Packy (two of which still live with him), making it the most successful zoo elephant breeding program in the world. On August 23, 2008, Rose-Tu, the granddaughter of the zoo's first elephant Rosy, gave birth to a son named Samudra. This makes Samudra the first third generation captive born elephant in North America.[8]
In 1971, management was given to Metro, which continues expansion projects, aided by donors, sponsors and volunteers.[2] The zoo was renamed in 1976 as the Washington Park Zoo after a naming contest.[2] The Metro Council changed the zoo's name from the Washington Park Zoo to the Oregon Zoo in April 1998.[3] In September of that year, the zoo became accessible by the region's MAX light rail system, with the opening of a Westside MAX line featuring an underground Washington Park station.[9] In 2003, the zoo began participation in a California condor recovery program started by San Diego Wild Animal Park and Los Angeles Zoo. The program is designed to breed California condors to be released into the wild and save them from extinction.[10]
In November 2008 regional voters approved a $125 million bond measure to improve infrastructure, enhance older exhibits and increase access to conservation education and the degree of sustainability.[11] Attendance at the zoo reached a record 1.6 million visitors for their 2008 to 2009 year.[6] The record was due in part to the birth of another baby elephant.[6] A new record was set the following year with 1,612,359 people visiting the zoo.[12]

My first deep-sky astrophoto since January 2... it hasn't been a good winter for astrophotography!
Comet 41P/TGK orbits the sun every 5.4 years and has an average distance of 3.1 AU. It is conveniently placed for North American viewers, as it is currently near the North Celestial Pole.
These comet shots are always a lot of work, as the comet moves with respect to the starry background over the time of the imaging session. So, stack using the stars, stack using the comet, then mush the two together without messing things up too much.
Just in case you were wondering, that galaxy in the lower right-hand corner is NGC 3978, a 12th magnitude spiral.

Round 2....
It was an intense afternoon of severe weather. Made it back home & got everything downloaded & recharged. Just in time for round 2.
Next storm approached from the northwest. Tons of CC (Cloud to Cloud) lightning burst with some forked lightning. Though the cloud layers before the storm started to block my view as it moved almost east northeast across the city views.

I originally tagged this as "moderate safety", because one animal was definitely harmed in order to make this photo. In my defence:
1) The animal was a giant f*cking wasp
2) It was in my f*cking house
3) I decided to take a photo of it more than a day after I'd killed it
4) This was not a sport killing, it was a primordial instinct, "fight or flight" killing, because... well... giant f*cking wasp
As mentioned above, this wasp somehow ended up in our house, and buzzed my ear at around 1 am the other night. It survived being hit - twice - before I captured it and dropped it into a small jar of alcohol 50%. I am 100% confident it is not an "Asian Murder Hornet" (v. manderinia), because it's got the wrong shape, colour, patterns, and, at 27mm long, it's too small (god help us all).
Anyhow, I decided to take a bunch of photos of it, to try making a 3D model to print off for my D&D games. If it works, I'll post the model online, with a link here.

My talented and lovely Get Pushed!! partner Sue aka green-dinosaur challenged me to create an image entitled "Light Play". Had plenty ideas of sun shining through leaves etc. but a) the sun is on holidays somewhere else and b) I've done something similar already, so I decided to try something new.
As threatened before, I decided to play with light and tried my luck at light painting.
What did I learn?
1. It is fun!
2. It is not as easy as you might think!
3. Keeps one fit - running from camera to the spot and back and trying again and again and again...!
4. I still tend to use too much light!

The Oregon Zoo was founded in 1888, making it the oldest North American zoo west of the Mississippi.[2] It all began with two grizzly bears purchased by Richard Knight.
A former seaman turned pharmacist, Knight began collecting animals from his seafaring friends. He kept his collection in the back of his drug store on Third & Morrison streets. When caring for the animals became too large a responsibility he sought to sell them to the city of Portland. Instead of buying the animals, the city offered to give Knight two circus cages and allowed him to place the caged bears on the grounds of City Park (now called Washington Park).
Care and feeding of the bears, however, still fell to the Knight family and friends. It wasn't long before Knight addressed the city council again regarding the bears. Just five months later, he offered to donate the young grizzly, along with its cage (it is unclear what happened to the second bear) to the city. Portland City Council accepted his offer on November 7, 1888, and began the Portland Zoo.
By 1894 there were over 300 animals in the zoo’s collection. In 1925, the zoo moved to the site of the present Portland Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its current site, designed by Lawrence, Tucker & Wallmann.[7] The zoo was renamed the Portland Zoological Gardens in 1959.[2] At this time, Washington Park and Zoo Railway was constructed to connect the zoo to its former site, and the other attractions in Washington Park.
The zoo became popular locally in 1953, when Rosy the Asian elephant was acquired. The zoo became world-famous in 1962 when the Asian elephant "Packy" was born. He was the first elephant born in the western hemisphere in 44 years and is (as of 2010) the tallest Asian elephant in the United States at 10.5 ft (3.2 m) tall. A total of 28 more calves have been born at the Oregon Zoo, including seven sired by Packy (two of which still live with him), making it the most successful zoo elephant breeding program in the world. On August 23, 2008, Rose-Tu, the granddaughter of the zoo's first elephant Rosy, gave birth to a son named Samudra. This makes Samudra the first third generation captive born elephant in North America.[8]
In 1971, management was given to Metro, which continues expansion projects, aided by donors, sponsors and volunteers.[2] The zoo was renamed in 1976 as the Washington Park Zoo after a naming contest.[2] The Metro Council changed the zoo's name from the Washington Park Zoo to the Oregon Zoo in April 1998.[3] In September of that year, the zoo became accessible by the region's MAX light rail system, with the opening of a Westside MAX line featuring an underground Washington Park station.[9] In 2003, the zoo began participation in a California condor recovery program started by San Diego Wild Animal Park and Los Angeles Zoo. The program is designed to breed California condors to be released into the wild and save them from extinction.[10]
In November 2008 regional voters approved a $125 million bond measure to improve infrastructure, enhance older exhibits and increase access to conservation education and the degree of sustainability.[11] Attendance at the zoo reached a record 1.6 million visitors for their 2008 to 2009 year.[6] The record was due in part to the birth of another baby elephant.[6] A new record was set the following year with 1,612,359 people visiting the zoo.[12]

Patmos (Greek, Πάτμος; Italian: Patmo) is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. One of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese complex,[2]) it has a population of 2,998 and an area of 34.05 km2 (13.15 sq mi). The highest point is Profitis Ilias, 269 metres (883 ft) above sea level. The Municipality of Patmos, which includes the offshore islands of Arkoi (pop. 44), Marathos (pop. 5), and several uninhabited islets, has a total population of 3,047 (2011 census) [3] and a combined land area of 45.039 square kilometres (17.390 sq mi). It is part of the Kalymnos regional unit.
Patmos' main communities are Chora (the capital city), and Skala, the only commercial port. Other settlements are Grikou and Kampos. The churches and communities on Patmos are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In 1999, the island's historic center Chora, along with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse, were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.[4] The monastery was founded by Saint Christodulos.[5] Patmos is also home to the Patmian School, a notable Greek seminary.
Patmos is mentioned in the New Testament Book of Revelation. The book's introduction states that its author, John, was on Patmos when he was given (and recorded) a vision from Jesus. Early Christian tradition identified this writer John of Patmos as John the Apostle, though some modern scholars are uncertain. As such, Patmos is a destination for Christian pilgrimage. Visitors can see the cave where John is said to have received his Revelation (the Cave of the Apocalypse), and several monasteries on the island are dedicated to Saint John.

Douglas Construction Number: 2202
US Civil Registration: N21798
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-3
The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with conventional landing gear, powered by two radial piston engines of 1,000–1,200 hp (750–890 kW). (Although most DC-3s flying today use Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engines, many DC-3s built for civil service originally had the Wright R-1820 Cyclone.) The DC-3 has a cruise speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), a capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg) of cargo, and a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km), and can operate from short runways.
The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before the war, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the continental US from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours and with only 3 stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies.
Following the war, the airliner market was flooded with surplus transport aircraft and the DC-3 was no longer competitive due to its size and speed. It was made obsolete on main routes by more advanced types such as the Douglas DC-4 and Lockheed Constellation, but the design proved adaptable and useful on less glamorous routes.
Civil DC-3 production ended in 1942 at 607 aircraft. Military versions, including the C-47 Skytrain (the Dakota in British RAF service), and Soviet- and Japanese-built versions, brought total production to over 16,000. Many continue to see service in a variety of niche roles: 2,000 DC-3s and military derivatives were estimated to be still flying in 2013; a 2017 article put the number at that time at more than 300.

a city in Belgium which is the capital of Antwerp province. With a population of 510,610,[2] it is the most populous city in Belgium.[3][4]
Antwerp is on the river Scheldt, linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde estuary. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world, ranking third in Europe and within the top 20 globally.[5]
Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries, both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the Dutch Revolt. The inhabitants of Antwerp are nicknamed Sinjoren, after the Spanish honorific señor or French seigneur, "lord", referring to the Spanish noblemen who ruled the city in the 17th century
nrhp # 72000122- The Unitarian Universalist Meeting House of Provincetown is an historic church at 236 Commercial Street in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival building was built in 1847 to a design by Benjamin Hallett, for a congregation that had been established in 1829. It is a massive post and beam timber frame construction, and was originally built without the tower. The tower, which is telescopic in form, with Greek ornamentation, is the only surviving steeple in Provincetown, and is a landmark for seafarers.[2]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972,[1] and included in the Provincetown Historic District in 1989.[2] It is now called the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House.

Partially still used by Amtrak, partially abandoned and rotty.
I didn't cross the tracks to get a good picture because:
1.) It was raining really hard
2.) It was weedy over there and I was in a dress
3.) I was wearing sandals and in no shape to run away if a train happened to come
Built 1889, and expanded at different points.

Hamworthy station was formerly called Hamworthy Junction with Hamworthy station being at the end of this freight line which runs along the side of Platform 2. It looks as if it’s unused now.
Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts, was founded in 1831 as "America's first garden cemetery" or "rural cemetery". With classical monuments set in a rolling landscaped terrain,[2] it marked a distinct break with Colonial-era burying grounds and church-affiliated graveyards.

Here is version 2. It was supposed to be more of a vintage look. but not too sure now.
I altered the placement of the text on this 1 also and changed the logo colour.
Portsmouth (i/ˈpɔːtsməθ/) is the second largest city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire on the south coast of England. Portsmouth is notable for being the United Kingdom's only island city; it is located mainly on Portsea Island.[2] It is situated 64 miles (103 km) south west from London and 19 miles (31 km) south east from Southampton.
As a significant naval port for centuries, Portsmouth is home to the world's oldest dry dock still in use and also home to some famous ships, including HMS Warrior, the Mary Rose and Lord Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory. Although smaller than in its heyday, the naval base remains a major dockyard and base for the Royal Navy and Royal Marine Commandos whose Headquarters resides there. There is also a thriving commercial ferryport serving destinations on the continent for freight and passenger traffic. The City of Portsmouth and Portsmouth Football Club are both nicknamed Pompey.
The Spinnaker Tower is a striking recent addition to the city's skyline. It can be found in the redeveloped former HMS Vernon, an area of retail outlets, restaurants, clubs and bars now known as Gunwharf Quays.
The City of Portsmouth has a population of 207,100 and is the only city in England with a greater population density (4,639 /km2 (12,010 /sq mi)) than London (4,562 /km2 (11,820 /sq mi)). The Portsmouth Urban Area includes Fareham, Portchester, Gosport, Havant and is the 14th largest urban area in the United Kingdom with an estimated 442,252 residents. Portsmouth combines with Southampton to form a single metropolitan area with a population over a million this is one of the United Kingdom's most populous metropolitan areas.[3]
