Actually it is a tiny bridge, but with the same structure, but smaller though there are often men at the end playing with their toy boats
Actually it was a decent looking sunset with mixed clouds. Dramatic tone art filter and lighting applied gave it this rather bizarre look. Happy Slider Sunday!
Actually, this big gang is from 2015, six out of seven heads showing. They're actually fuzzier and evidently younger than the brood from same time this year, pretty much the same burrow. I'm in a world of hurt in terms of owl backlog - I just found 350 more images from the day before I left for Big Sur, plus the 700 I shot yesterday, and the 1000+ I still have from the past year. So, my owl-loving friends, be ready to indulge (or bear with me).
Actually, it's that pink goop dropped by airplane along the ridges during one of our many fire seasons.
This is about the beginning of the Transverse Range which extends West to East, from Pt Concepcion (or Channel Islands even) all the way thru 6 counties to the Mojave Desert.
Notable for its steepness (elevations 3 to 8 thousand feet) there are very few Passes thru (think Tejon) which definitely affected the growth of 'Southern California'
Actually somebody warned me that these guys are terror. They not only destroy your lawn by digging holes all over, but also attacks birds, steals bird eggs etc . I can neither confirm or deny ... ;-p
actually losing track of when abouts in the week my 52 is supposed to be posted.. probably a week ahead or behind..

I was actually embarrassed to be seen with my camera this day after seeing a group of 5-6 birders/photographers far ahead of me walking about 20 feet apart herding these birds down the beach. It seemed that whenever the Bluebirds landed the photographers started to circle around them and the birds were pushed further along the beach. We all make the mistake of getting to close and flushing the birds at times but this was ongoing, apparently the photos were more important than the birds having a chance to feed. I turned away from the beach and went in search of other birds. Later in the day I returned to the beach. Upon seeing the bluebirds again I got a bit closer then planted myself down in the sand; I was rewarded when (see next photos) this bird landed only about 10 feet in front of me.
Calke Abbey, between Staunton Harold and Foremark Reservoirs, Derbyshire. The 'abbey' (actually a manor) lies on the site of a priory dissolved by Henry VIII, and lies adjascent to the corners of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
Recently featured in the 2010 BBC series 'Survivors'.
Taken on a walk with the NTU Chaplaincy with a Pentax Optio S.

I really wanted to build something different this year, so I dug into my AD&D roots and built a Spell Jammer. I have fond memories of the campaign setting and its zoomorphic ships.
I had a lot of other things going on this month, participating in booths at two different shows and some medical complications that made getting this built a bit daunting.
Someday I'll actually learn to post process my photos, but hopefully these will work for now.
Well actually on this picture she was 10,5 weeks old.
the niece of my bf is a photographer and she thought it was fun to do a photoshoot with Laikha. so we were extreemly happy that she wanted to do this for us. and we LOVE the pictures... this is 1 of the 60 lol it looks like a picture for a dog food commercial or something haha Im in aweeee ♥♥♥
These are actually Ring-necked Parakeets aka Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri), though they are quite closely related to Lovebirds: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50943147766/in/photolist
In Britain, breeding was first proved in 1971 in Kent though it was suspected a year or two prior to this. Despite rumours involving Jimi Hendrix and Humphrey Bogart, there is no evidence that either had anything to do with their introduction to Britain. Paul Dunham mentions below about mass escapes in the 1970s involving more than a thousand birds when they pecked their way out of wooden holding crates. The population increased ten fold in Britain between 1995 and 2010 and is now well-established in south-east England (centred on London) with a population around 12,000 pairs, but there are scattered breeding populations elsewhere. The English population is the most northerly breeding parrot species on the planet, and this breeding pair in South Yorkshire are currently one of the most northerly in Britain. Abroad they breed in both Asia and Africa, and biometrics suggest that British birds are from the larger Indian subspecies borealis, though this was not conclusive. The scientific name Psittacula krameri commemorates the Austrian naturalist Wilhelm Kramer. It was named by Johannes Scopoli in 1769, four years after Kramer's death and was originally known as Kramer's Parakeet.
I photographed this mating pair this morning near Barnsley. There were two pairs present and they were going in and out of holes in some dead trees. These are the first birds I have seen in Yorkshire.
No cropping on this one.....straight from the camera......just didn't think it was necessary...........I'm used to getting much closer to a drop...........but liked the depth and effect of this one.
...is actually in my home town of Eufaula, Alabama, near the banks of the Chattahoochee River. I have taken it to Bream Lake in North Central Florida. The house is an ante bellum structure, quite "old South". A variation on a previous image.
Happy Friday everyone!
My Friday is turning out great since my photoshop actually decided to work today.

actually 4 people here .
its traditional to eat with ones hands . which is why the girls hands are being washed with water
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.
We actually had a sunny day today. Very cold at only 2 degrees but such a change from the grey and rain we have been having lately. So off we went into the Forest. This group of pigs were having a blast running here there and every where. Phill and I were discussing what a group of pigs are called. I said it should be an "oink of pigs" - Phill decided on a "snort of pigs": it is actually a sounder of pigs so now we all know
Actually the photo is about two person who have no home to live and no bed for sleeping. So they choose a platform of a railway station where people sit. And they are sleeping there but in the frame we are seeing left person's legs and right persons half of the body. And it seems like a tallest person is sleeping in a railway platform.
Actually, the poor guy lost the fish as he was manuevering it to swallow !! Seen in the Japanese Garden on Woodley Avenue Van Nuys CA.
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.
It's actually quite embarrassing for me to admit this. I've now been living on this farm here in Gouna for 10 months, and yesterday was the first time that I noticed this composition... less than 300 metres from my front door!?
Of course I've explored this garden many times before, but this particular view has always been obstructed by lots of tall vegetation in the foreground. The sky was looking quite impressive yesterday afternoon, so I decided to explore this part of the garden with my camera once more. When I reached this corner of the (fenced-off) garden I noticed a gate. And lo and behold... just outside the gate I noticed a small elevated ledge right at the edge of the cliff... with no troublesome plants blocking my foreground.
There were lots of dark clouds (as you can see), so most of the time the sun was hidden behind a cloud and the foreground was completely dark. I knew exactly what I wanted from the light... but would it provide what I was after? Weather-photography can be so hit-and-miss! As you can see in this photo... mother Nature did provide me with exactly what I was looking for... at exactly the right moment! Lucky me?
P.S. This is not a sun-star photo... these are light-rays. ;)
Taken on a motorcycle trip back in 2002. I believe it was about 23:00hrs local time.
And on Kodachrome 200 slide film at that.....yes there is a narrow exposure latitude.
I was actually off from work on this past Memorial Day, and when Grundy popped me a text saying he was going to be in the area and to "stop in", I figured, "Why not?"
That Monday was gorgeous for weather, sailing, barbecues, baseball and rail-fanning. I failed to get my ass out of bed for what was probably a great sunrise, which is what, "back in the day", I've been noted for attacking. I guess I'm getting old. If I had done that, I'd probably have been back in bed by 10:30AM to rest up to cook my chicken. I've also let go of the neighborhood. Ignoring much of what the railroads in the area offer, and forgetting what "Mother Nature" does offer in the area where I live.
I don't believe anything is going to change in the Hudson Valley anytime soon, railroad-wise, but I could be wrong. My gosh, MNCR has been running these passenger GE's for over 30 years now! BUT, these have become disposable, and I'm pretty, pretty sure they will be following Amtrak's lead soon, with the new Siemans locomotives. Think about it. The EMD FL-9's were retired a bit after 30 years! I am getting old!!
CSX, well, what can I say. Okay, I'll say one word; BORING. I'll probably be buried before any Class I excites me again.
However, the land that the monotonous parade of identical locomotives travel through, which will NEVER change, provides something to inspire to photographer in me. For me, when it comes to the railroad, "big guys", I need to photograph the setting. Not the train, but where the train run through.
Yup, just as expected. A wide yellow nose of a modern era General Electric has poked into the viewfinder dragging along 80 to 100 empty oil tanks northbound in the high sun at Fort Montgomery, NY. Let's just try to make it a bit different this time as these railroaders that unfortunately have to work on a holiday, travel though their settings, on what they have called for years, "The Sewer Line".
Thanks to BP for shaking this apple from the tree for a day.
Actually, from the way this turned out, I wouldn't mind sitting there right about now and relaxing....
xxoo
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, 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!
Someone actually had the guts to challenge me into drawing a serious Inuzuka Minako pic. Normally I will just laugh and do it, but this challenge was frustrating, so there! Here's the pic! I hope you get a punch out of it.

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 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 like the harsh shadows, but here i prefer the full dynamic range in connection with a soft contrast. Post edited in Lightroom Classic & Nik Collection
There are few shows on television that actually entertain me long enough to sit through. No Reservations on the travel channel is however, not one of those. If you haven't seen it, Anthony Bourdain, previously a chef in New York, hosts a rather brilliantly produced travel show with a rather uniquely cynical and humorous approach. If there is one thing that would tempt me to absolutely change careers, it would be to travel with this crew. Zero Point Zero production crew...are you there?...hint hint. Have passport, will travel!
Speaking of travel, this was shot at the Fort Lauderdal International airport. As I was making my way to the car upon an arrival from somewhere in the world, this colorful structure around the escalators caught my attention.
Well, the seasons premiere of the show is on, gotta go!

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 not a bog at all, but rather a fen...but, still, a good place to wander on a dreary afternoon with friends and a camera.
Actually the head is smaller and the legs look longer than they in the photo.
I'm thinking to buy a new camera.
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.
