Actually I guess it's a country wide waterfight! And they do it in Laos as well. So practically 1/2 of south east asia shuts down and has a huge region-wide waterfight!
Songkran Rules!
Actually this was taken at Fullerton Railroad Days, May 2015. Thanks to the Santa Fe 3751 and SBRHS crew, we were able to recreate this scene from WWII when many women were employed to fill the jobs vacated by men called to duty.

It was actually fairly dark when I photographed this lil' fella with his four siblings and mom lounging in a squirrel drey about ten feet over our garage. Gotta love a full-frame sensor.
It's actually an old water tower and it's located on a nearby cemetary. It's not in use anymore.
The symmetry is always harder to achieve than it first looks like. I got the framing to what you see relatively easily, but it also might seem like easy because what came after it. And yes... Even the framing is not quite as symmetrical as I would like, but I think it is actually pretty much as symmetrical as the building itself is. (In reality very few things are just that perfect anyway... I think that this building is actually remarkably perfect for something that was built in 1930's.)
But then... The hard part: Placing myself in to the frame, face down within the limits of the 10 second timer and trying not to break the symmetry too badly while doing so. It only took 14 times to get it good enough. (although one of them was deliberately not symmetrical.) The distance from the camera was probaly over 5 meters and those stairs are really steep. I could get to the spot fine but there was really no time for fine tuning my position.
The best position for the shadow the pillar on the left casts to the center was on two takes and about two minutes before this.
Actually, Atticus has a hotspot on his leg and he loves to lick the medicine off. I think you can also tell from the shot that it doesn't diminish his appetite.
... Actually a number of exits lead you to various themed gardens at the Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra.
This picture of St Katharine's Precinct in Regent's Park, and the adjacent Danish Church, is deceptively reminiscent of Oxford. Theme: my town / where I live / postcard
Actually we have two little husky pups right now. Tomorrow I will be driving one to Colorado to meet someone who lives in Texas. This one will be living in Texas with her new daddy.
Now this is the one thing that is quite wearable with few to no modifications. You can tell that they were quite proud of it. 100% cotton, too.
Yea...I know it's very simple.. =/
I was going to add in a person on the bed or beside or something but couldn't find any that would've worked...I didn't want to take one just for it b/c of the child molesters! :O
haha
the fog is a bit much also...but...yea..
I didnt really take very much time on this...i was just really bored and decided to make something ...haha i might go back later and fix it up some...
Actually a form of freshwater catfish. Difficult to photograph without flash because they're always moving.
Actually a national park in western Manitoba. I've always figured there was a strong similarity between the two places in terms of vegetation and climate.
Actually, I made a large mistake!
I wanted to put this inner fabric on the purple box! I noticed it after I finished this box...
Actually it is more like semi new but you know, it was delivered in early 2019 so it's technically a New Rainbow.
Actually my first in the wild, no fence between us, photo of a Bull Moose. Taken a few days ago (August 2008) in the Rockies in northern Colorado. Because of the snow and my concern about being so close (50 feet, or less!) I did not get many good shots of the 5 moose we saw that day, the others we saw were two cows with calf's.
What an awesome experience!

Actually, a small city with such strong defenses, such a large garrison, that it was never conquered.
Actually shot @ 21:59:58 ;)
Sunset was at 10.02 p.m. (22.02). Taken at our beach in Nyhamnsläge, Sweden.
Directly as captured from the camera - no post editing at all (just a little crop and straightening of the horizon).
Papilio anactus. I wasn't actually thinking about butterflies when I pruned my Ugli (mandarin x grapefruit hybrid) to within an inch of its life about a month ago. That stimulated heaps of new growth and that is exactly the kind of fresh citrus foliage the Dainty Swallowtails seek out to lay their eggs on. Yesterday I found two large larvae feeding on the fresh growth. Today one set about the metamorphosis to a butterfly.
This sequence begins with a variety of shots of the larvae feeding and then some final shots of the more mature setting itself up on a stem. While still distinctly a caterpillar in appearance it has already taken on a grey appearance and created the silk girdle which will hold the chrysalis in place until it emerges as a butterfly. All may not go well however, as a predatory wasp can be seen at the lower end of the lava. The sequence ends with a couple of shots of this tiny wasp which I could barely see with the naked eye.
Actually, it's the same dawn at Marinha, just found a shot I liked that I didn't use last time.
So, back to Portugal today, photographically speaking, we will return to Ireland tomorrow.
"What I Actually Saw, Watching It Snow I"
The snow still has not melted from the last blizzard, and here it is coming again. Yesterday and last night it rained, with freezing rain, and freezing drizzle, sleet and snow. Now it is light snow and by later this afternoon, the full fledged blizzard will arrive. Fun stuff!!
Actually he's probably cutting, not welding but I thought the title was good :)
This is a view of the repair work taking place on Eastbourne Pier at present. Part of the Pier was ravaged by fire on 30th July 2014 but thankfully the damage was mainly restricted to the front end. Though the repair work continues the Pier remains open and they've kindly added some Perspex windows to allow you to view the work. I managed to find one that wasn't too smudged :)
Actually, I wasn't really in the mood that this picture portrays, but it was the mood I was going for.
I decided this could apply for the Extreme theme of the week, because it's extremely dark and moody. Or something.

Actually, it was the same type of panda as Ken'ichi Matsuyama was photographed with acting like Death Note's L.
So I was riding a panda just like L ^^
Actually just a snapshop of the wonderful Messeturm in Frankfurt, Germany, which turned out really nice. Shot with the Canon 300x and the pancake 40mm 2.8 STM on Fujifilm. Scanned raw with Vuescan and processed in The Gimp.
Actually, just a little and got some party pictures, but nothing greatly creative... so I am back to my 26th floor, waiting for the last day of the GREAT conference.
Actually this was just a snapshot, while I was using my tripod for the first time. But I like the atmosphere of the picture, with its warm colors.
Actually I have never been inside. It's a bar on Montana Street.
I have two IDs on FlickR

We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.
With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.
We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.
We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.
We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.
Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw. Time to get back to editing.
