Actually: don't, because it is a vertical wall painting, called "Optical Glade" (2017) by Stanley Donwood at the remarkable tower that is the heart of Bonnefantenmuseum (1995, Aldo Rossi) In Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Actually, this is not a wolf, but my border collie mix, Ugo. He stands up at the bay windown barking at who knows what. This time I had my camera by my side and just clicked without even looking...a lucky shot!
I actually have made a lot of Flickr Fighters that I haven't uploaded. I'll probably post Wavelength soon since I already took pictures for him.
Anyway, I decided to play today and saw TC and decided to upload him since he's just so stinkin' cool-looking. :P
Besides the normal scripting, he is scripted to have the happy drama mask emotion appear whenever he picks up a weapon. (Except I scripted it wrong and the weapon displays the emotion for some reason...) I would've given him superpowers but he doesn't have any so...
I hope you like it Boondoggle!

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.
Actually Cobar isn't a hole. This is one of of the gold mines around Cobar and it's an impressive hole; difficult to get a true sense of the scale here.
Taken from the information board at the site:
The pit you are looking at today started out as a small opencut mine in the late 1890s.
Within the space of two years (2001-2002), using modern equipment, the pit was extended to 150m deep, 200m wide and 380m long, considered in today's standard as a medium-sized opencut.
A total of 3.6 million tonnes of waste rock was removed and stockpiled on the western flank of the Fort Bourke Hill.
I wonder if the hole will be filled with the stockpiled rock when the mine is exhausted?
Interesting to see the tunnels on the face in the top right following the vertical seam.
Panorama. Six photo stitch.
Actually, there was a lot of sunshine in the Dubai Miracle Garden which we visited last January.
EXPLORE December 1st 2016

Title is a Bill Withers song
, i actually changed the color a bit, and slightly air brushed my face marks and lines, (vain i know..) i am afraid of how pale (esp. for a black guy) my skin is to my face so i tried to even the tones a bit..much respect
Not actually 1924, the buildings would have been in a better condition, but 21/10/2024 and one of Wick's less loved streets, despite it being the main route away from the very nice Mackays Hotel. Union Street, very much part of Wick's 'conservation area' basically is rotting away slowly. There are a couple of thriving businesses on the street and some residential properties, but this particular row of terraced housing just adds to the feeling of desolation in the area.
My new project for the BrickLink Designer Program that could become the next set with your support.
A boy’s dream becomes reality as he and his parents spend their holidays on the farm. Explore a model full of little stories and details of the farm life. The farm comes with a big farmhouse, a barn with a garden, a tree, a van, and many accessories such as a wheelbarrow and a kite.

This is a digital rendering, but I built a 'proof of concept' to make sure it works with real bricks too.
Actually, no. I don't have THAT sweet a tooth! I was in Carluccio's in Brighton, buying some Italian coffee, when I spotted these humongous meringues. I didn't think 'Yum', but I did think 'Photo opportunity'. :))
Actually, they are Hooded Merganser's. Not common in this area. See next post for closer look. Carson Valley, Nevada.
i'm sorry for the massive upload today, but i'm trying to make up for the past few days that i missed for my 365 project.
i love colbie caillat's new song, falling for you. listen to it!

Well, actually, of this hollyhock. I love hollyhocks and this was taken last July when I visited my sister in London. The centre looks to me so much like a sea anemone. Hope you like it too.

Thanks, as always for your wonderful friendship and support. Your faves and comments are much appreciated. Sorry if I've been slow this afternoon - I've had a lot of trouble with my computer, but I'm switching over now to a reliable one !
Actually a very benevolent and a very old black oak double trunk tree that I have visited in my youth to climb its long web like limbs. In my golden years I now sit on the bench you see at peace and thankful to be able to do so. The bees are active today as they return this afternoon to their hive that is at the base of the trunk in the foreground.
Our Daily Challenge:
THE FOREST is the topic for Saturday, April 16, 2022
Actually there are four trees but from this angle one is hiding.
Explore #24 on Saturday, April 4, 2009. Thx everyone!
Brown Lake, Kissimmee, FL. I ran across this armillary while taking some sunrise shots on Brown Lake in Kissimmee. Normally the sun is the center of an armillary, so I thought this was an interesting way to set up the shot. This actually came out better than I expected and better than most of the sunrise shots I took.
Actually the county waterline runs down this road and hydrants are spaced at standard intervals. Henry County, Georgia
Nikon 35Ti point and shoot camera with Ilford HP5+ film.
Actually, Wilmur danced with quite a few nice ladies! Rosalind finished Wilmur's dance card. She was a very skilled dancer.
Actually I think before we grew into "reasoning beings", (the thing that makes us unique), we only craved need. As infants without reasoning abilities, hard to know if we felt love or just need. Closeness or love instinctively means safety, and that was all we "needed" before reason made us self-conscious, aware, or the word bandied around lately, we became "woke".
I think we are more than chunks of meat with firing neurons, the ability to "reason" about our place in the universe makes each of us special among all life forms. Our uniqueness gives me reason to suspect none of this is just a random quirk of nature. Was there nothingness before awareness, and will there be nothingness after? I don't think so, otherwise what's the point? Too many things have had to happen over time beyond our comprehension to be just luck or chance. We are part of something special. The natural man is a beast, cruel beyond anything else in nature. We have thousands of years of history to look back on to see the truth of that. Right now the world of man (and woman of course) is at a time of peace and prosperity never know before. We're at a precipice, do we continue to lift humanity to even greater heights, or revert to our bloody, enslaved past? Did God roll the dice on mankind, and was everything for nothing. We have free agency and reason, are we up to the task?
What a ramble, sorry for getting carried away. Just wanted to post a picture. ;>)
Actually that was about 10 pm landing to the airport and sunlight shining on the wings bits...;-))
Really spectacular view with all those colours...;-))
Hi everybody, it's nice to be back in a mad heat ....lol...here is +36C at the moment...a bit of shock after +20C.
Actually, it often comes on a local waterway and although wild, is somewhat used to people being near.
I actually spotted this place on street view, and went to go see it for myself. And from what I can tell, I think this place was a sod home? What do you think? I can’t quite tell if the bricks are, well, brick, or if they’re made of earth or mud and dried. I’m sad to see it falling down but glad I found it when I did! Just look up “sod house” and see what I mean. It’s similar, at least. This place was clearly posted so I couldn’t go further than these photos, unfortunately.

Conrail actually had quite a few EMD SD50s on their roster, and here one of them is leading a very fast moving westbound TV train near Melbern, Ohio the evening of July 9th, 1998.
In looking at a satellite map of the area now I am fairly certain that this was the bridge for County Road 8, and even back then it looked like it had already been closed to traffic for quite some time, (And I am not so sure that I would have chanced driving over if it was still open !)
Just imagine for a moment all of the great steam and diesel powered New York Central trains that passed beneath that ancient bridge – Or for that matter all of the neat old cars, trucks and farm equipment that passed over it. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
Yellow-pine Chipmunk (Tamias amoenus) at Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park near Merritt, BC.
Note the notch in the middle of Ypchip's tail....
actually windshield water, I'm sitting in my car taking a picture of the post office wall while it is raining.
on google+ another B&W version looks like this:

Actually, I wanted to take a portrait of Candor dozing in front of the cactus that can be seen in the background.
But the moment I had my camera ready, he decided to jump at me, believing it's playtime. So this is what I got... it's not technically perfect, but I feel it really shows his joy and enthusiasm ;-)
Actually, just a close look at the complex underside of a Green Fig Beetle (Cotinus mutabilis) thorax. Two-shot photo stack at about 3X magnification.
A very small frozen rivulet on the face of a bolder (it was not much more than a trickle actually). The sun was bright and warm enough for it to begin to melt ever so slightly. (One of the very few photos I took this past less than brilliant winter.)

"The whole world is, to me, very much 'alive' - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them." Ansel Adams, photographer and environmentalist, 1902 - 1984

Thank you for visiting. Comments and/or faves are truly appreciated.
Actually from the trail down the side, instead of from the tower on top... I finally remembered to use the exposure lock on my camera, so the panorama doesn't have all of that weird multi-exposure banding going on!
It's too bad about all the dead trees... evidently, GSMNP is infested with the Balsam Wooly Adelgid, which is an invasive species from Europe killing a lot of the fir trees. (Ignorant comment fail: somebody was reading one of the interpretive signs in the parking lot and grumbled "We go save their asses in the war, and they pay us back in bugs.")
Newport News Shipbuilding is Virginia's largest industrial employer and the sole manufacturer of US aircraft carriers. The Huntington Ingalls Industries company operates its own rail network with (at least) two locomotives, one being this GE 50 tonner (NNSX 41809) and the other a new NRE 1GS7B (NNSX 507). I had originally thought the 507 had replaced this unit, but to my surprise I saw this thing chugging away near the CSX interchange. While a lot of the shipyard rail freight is intra-plant, the plant does receive a variety of flat car shipments on occasion, tank cars I believe, and sand hoppers as pictured here. The rail network is almost exclusively paved, with these two tracks sharing an access road straight down to the shipyard. All of the adjacent warehouses are part of the shipyard complex, with this particular one receiving hoppers regularly via a spur that crosses the second track that runs all the way down to the shipyard. Here the crew spots a loaded hopper after having taken an empty to the interchange. This is taken from the only public crossing of the operation although there are places to watch them switching in the shipyard through the fence if they're out working. While I was hoping to catch a glimpse of these guys, it was plain luck to actually catch them working. And yes, the light is awful but this serves as documentation of a neat little operation that I've been meaning to get a glimpse of. Newport News, VA
Actually spent several days working on this before posting...(!)
So even if I do not like it 100% I am pleased about that...

Actually there are only 8 limestone stacks remaining after some collapsed, so it's really more like the Eight Apostles. You can see the stumps of where some used to stand.
Kukulcania sp., sometimes called a crevice weaver, coming out of her burrow at night. She looks a bit tarantula-like, but actually isn't closely related to that group. These velvety spiders do share one trait with tarantulas, though -- apparently the females continue to molt (shed their exoskeletons) even after they're mature, which I had thought was something only done by tarantulas and their relatives. This is a different female than the other pic I posted. Anza-Borrego Desert, California; thanks to Marshal Hedin for the find and ID!
I guess you can say that the sun did not "look" this way when I took the picture, but in fact this is actually how I remember it looking. A different crop of the shot I posted some time ago.
Don't mean to saturate the photostream with all of these similar shots but winter is basically over and I tend to be heavy into spring so want these out of the way until some 100 degree day in July. It was hard to take a bad shot this day here, conditions were perfect. The water here is fed by warm springs thus an increase in the "steam" factor. I actually desaturated this photo quite a bit to give more of a bleak winter look.
Neither actually....I was taking photos from different angles of this bridge across the River Trent at Wilford in Nottingham and had my camera mounted on a tripod. This runner came bearing down on me and was so fast that I stood stock still as stepping either right or left could have caused a collision. The runner panted past me with a quick "excuse me " and on he went....Yes it was a man and to this day I have not the slightest idea how he came to appear as a woman in a red dress honestly. I have the same shot processed in b&w but actually either in colour or b&w both fill me with a sense of unease that I can't throw off. I find it compelling at the same time though......
Btw..this was taken set to manual at 24mm f11 and rather than a high iso was taken on a wired cable release and as it was dark was a fairly long exposure 15 seconds actually - hence the movement. I always hoped to get someone walking across the bridge as it can be quite a busy place but was happy with the running man and the effect it had, making him appear quite spectral. The LE blew the left hand light where a lamppost out of shot lit up one side of the bridge as you can see by the shadows it threw across to left hand railing's and by the light hitting the brickwork :)
