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.

This is my much loved Ferrari Testarossa. Not the real thing, but a prized, die cast and rather rather large 1/8th scale model.

 

It was made "way back" last century by a company called Pocher, (sadly no longer in business) who made the most amazing and detailed large scale models. This is actually one of the less detailed kits with just over 500 parts. It includes such detail as pop up headlights, fully opening doors, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk - which is actually at the front of this car, being a rear engined one). The fully working steering wheel is linked to the front wheels and it has full suspension. The engine has amazing detail with real rubber fan belts and the like. It is a treat to view on its own. Inside, the seatbelt material is real, and the gear lever moves through that wonderful chrome slotted H pattern gate. The seats move fore and aft, and even have reclining backrests! It even has a tiny key on a keyring which will unlock and open the doors! Some of the other more detailed vintage models go as far as having working brakes, and have real leather upholstery.

 

My model is in a bad way and needs some tender loving restoration. Through moving house no less than nine times, it has suffered a little with every pack and unpack. Normally it would have lovely wing mirrors, but both have broken off several times. I still have them but need to do some detailed work to get them back on again.

 

I will hopefully present it again one day in a better setting and with a little more attention paid to getting the forced perspective right. Here it is in our front garden under the dappled shade of our silver birch tree. In over 30 years of owning this car, this is the first time I have photographed it. I even washed and polished it (with real Meguiar's car polish) just for the occasion! (What a geek!)

Actually a shot where I can say, "best viewed large"

Actually did not have much time to take this shot as the sun went behind the clouds seconds after this shot and I ran out of waiting time.

I actually dragged the Deardorff 5x7 with the 210mm lens out canoe camping so this image is from a remote lake which required a 1.8km portage to get to. I love these old, weathered stumps that lay in the shallows of these lakes.

Actually, shattered fragments of car window on the roadside

Actually, the title is inaccurate. This Shag (Cormorant?), isn't riding anywhere because the duck is anchored. Taken from the Two Islands Road bridge back in 2003, the duck was sharing the waters of the Parrsboro Aboiteau with its companion, a Sea Serpent made of tractor tires painted green. I have a pic of the serpent buried somewhere but nave yet to locate it. Both creatures were a familiar sight to visitors stopping in Parrsboro but have gone missing over the years.

Actually one of the two demonstration lines at Didcot Railway Centre which beautifully replicate the sights and sounds of a GWR branch line.

 

Railcar no.22 trundled back and forth on one of the Centre's Diesel Days for anyone who wanted a ride - or four in my case, as I was a fan of No.22 way back when I was a kid.

 

No.22 was built in 1940 and ran til 1962. It was preserved in 1967 and spent 11 years on the Severn Valley Railway before moving to Didcot. One of three surviving examples, it is the only one in service. Sadly the condition of the railcar's chassis means it isn't fit for travel to other railways, otherwise it would be fantastic to see in its native territory on the SVR again.

Actually, this was near the end of the geyser's eruptive phase. And the image is from a slightly different perspective than what you normally see.

 

I was carefully making my way downhill along the boardwalk when I happened to look up and see the end phase of an Old Faithful eruption. Naturally, I had to capture a photo. The morning backlight adds an interesting dimension to the image in terms of texture, shadow and light.

Actually was a wire tree until I gave it life! Now its ALIVE!...more or less.

Taken with the Nikon Z 8 w/ Nikkor Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S w/ Z TC-1.4X teleconverter. As you can see it's a fabulous lens, and so light weight I miss it already. However I actually don't think it's that much better than my NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR w/ Z TC-1.4X teleconverter.

 

The weight factor is a big deal at just over 3 lbs. But even at only 3 lbs. it's still to heavy for an 81 year old fellow that has been beating the stuffings out of myself my whole life.

 

With, count em' 2 torn rotator cuffs. And if I have to go through that much pain to left my camera and lens, it's hardly anything compared to the pain I've been going through thinking about the pain and suffering I have to endure parting with nearly 5 grand, now that's real pain. If had unlimited funds, I'd keep it in a heart beat.

 

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------

 

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!

 

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

 

❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️

 

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)

 

16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)

 

1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

 

3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

 

9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)

 

7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

 

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

 

5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)

 

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

 

So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Actually a semi-frozen Kelly's Slough.

Actually the pictures are older, one shows the morning, the other the evening. But because they show exactly the same motive, I wanted to show the course of the day.

 

Eigentlich sind die Aufnahmen schon älter, eine zeigt den Morgen, die andere den Abend. Da die aber exakt das gleiche Motiv zeigen, wollte ich hier einmal den Verlauf des Tages zeigen.

Actually, there's good reason for her sleeping in the hot sun when there's plenty of shade nearby: she wanted to get her tummy tanned...

actually he's listening to the neighbor bbqing steaks. probably more smelling than listening.

Actually this is a photo of a heater , not eclipse or graphics

I came across this fabulous mural while taking photos in Harlem.

I was sure I recognized the name of the artist: Jocelyn Marie Goode, and sure enough I had interviewed her and filmed her "live painting at the DL, a while back.

www.flickr.com/photos/jaygeeoh/52424684776/in/album-72177...

 

she is fabulous, I haven't seen her in a long time. I checked her instagram and she has a short vid of herself creating the mural--she's actually painting it at one point while wearing rollerskates. she is Fabulous--check it out

"Ah, it was a time of sharing, of remembering, building, adventuring, dreaming ... but above all, it was the time of my kind, the time of mask makers ... those for whom the art of creating great Kanohi Masks from Kanoka Disks was all that we lived for."

 

The red light effect is actually an LED tube rolled in some red sheets, complemented with a faint blue light behind his back.

Actually a very friendly and pleasant man, even though the photo makes him look a bit terrifying.

366/352 - Year 8 Photo 2908

The Egyptian Goose is not really a goose, but is actually a Shelduck. It is a cross between a goose and a duck. It has many duck-like characteristics, but it also has some external goose-like traits. It is the most widespread of all the African waterfowl. These old-world shelducks were domesticated by the ancient Egyptians, who considered them to be sacred. The Romans and the Greeks also kept Egyptian Geese in domestic flocks.

 

Egyptian Geese are mainly found south of the Sahara in Africa, along the Nile River Valley, and in southern Israel. They were introduced into England in the 1700’s, and some feral birds can be found in the United States. They are usually found inland, close to wet areas, and can sometimes be found on the open plains.

 

The Egyptian Geese are terrestrial; they spend a lot of time ashore. They feed both day and night sometimes far from the water. They are good swimmers and divers. They mainly eat seeds, leaves, grass, berries, and herbs. They also eat locusts, worms, insects, and small animals.

 

Egyptian Geese stay in small flocks of family units for the majority of the year, and pair up only during breeding. They usually walk away from danger, seldom flying unless they are surprised. Their flight looks heavy and goose-like, with slow wing-beats. They may fly together in an irregular V-shape formation or in a long line.

 

Egyptian Geese are sexually mature at two years. It is believed they mate for life. They can breed year around, but usually breed in the spring or at the end of a dry season. They have a noisy courtship with much honking, feather displays, and neck stretching. Pairs nest alone and are excellent parents. They build their nests in a variety of locations including: trees, ledges, on buildings, on the ground, in burrows, and on cliffs. They also use a variety of nesting materials, but the nests are always lined with soft, downy feathers. The female lays 5-8 eggs which are incubated for 28 days. If the nest is built up high, the parents will call to the chicks from down below, until the chicks jump to the ground. The young chicks are reared by both parents. They fly at 11 weeks, but remain with the parents for more several weeks.

Actually a New college Oxford grotesque.

Actually, it's the Morning Glory Pool -- a hot spring in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. But it sure is creepy and surreal looking! It also resembles a giant egg with a green yolk, freshly cracked and ready to fry. The colors are caused by bacteria, different species of which thrive at different temperatures.

Actually got a decent photo of the hawk flying.

I was actually surprised to see this Confederate memorial this far west in Texas (Lockhart is near San Antonio).

 

There are a lot of different ways to define when you are in the "South." Sociologist John Shelton Reed has written extensively about this and has suggested a number of interesting definitions based on, for example, the number of "Dixie" listings in the phone book, where kudzu grows, the percentage of Baptists, and where the subscribers of Southern Living magazine live.

 

history.sandiego.edu/gen/st2/xroads.virginia.edu/~DRBR/RE...

 

By most of these measures, central Texas, like southern Florida, isn't particularly "Southern." Reed concludes that only the far eastern part of Texas should be thought of as "Southern."

 

And, although it's not one of Reed's Southern "markers," I would think having a Confederate memorial on the courthouse lawn is a pretty good indicator that you're in the South.

 

So, having pretty much accepted in my mind that central Texas is not really the "South, this monument seemed incongruous to me. Travel is educational.

  

Actually I saw this in two different locations, Kenya and Tanzania Things are a changin me thinks... Look out Leopards!, here come the Lions!!

actually, this one was taken in the middle of the winter, some years ago

 

Testing my new Lum Cube mini panel and wondering how I lived without it.

Actually, there's a lot more statues of Buddha than 1000. Most of these huge caves are open to the weather, but the statues have survived since the 400s!

This is actually a square format crop of my previous upload of this stair in the Citizen M Rotterdam hotel. On one hand the crop makes for a stronger image but then it also loses quite a bit of detail so I'm not really sure which version I prefer.....

 

Click here to see more of my shots from Rotterdam :

From Wikipedia "Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands, in South Holland within the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt river delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte river, after which people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland.

 

A major logistic and economic centre, Rotterdam is Europe's largest port, and has a population of 633,471 (2017), the second-largest in the Netherlands, just behind Amsterdam."

My thank you to Snipes.

 

"In late 2010, Sweetwater receiver a call from the SAS, who had intercepted a Russian Convoy, which were carrying nuclear components.

 

The SAS operators found multiple 'Korobovs', TKB-022s, which were in perfect condition, but very primitive.

 

The SAS wanted Sweetwater to modernize the TKB-022, but nobody at Sweetwater Texas was able to do the job, as it is a very difficult weapon to work with.

 

A few months later, in 2011, Sweetwater Holland was opened, which had a new crew of designers, to modify and create weapons, all in their own ways.

Sweetwater Texas asked Sweetwater Holland if they had anyone to do the job of the Korobov, and Sweetwater Junior Designer 'Juice' said yes."

Was actually trying to get some decent blue hour shots with my "new to me" camera. I just happened to take a second and look around, which made me notice all this great light coming from the freeway on the other side of the fence. I love me a moody composition.

Actually they're eating Joumou: Haitian pumpkin soup traditionally served on New Year's Day as a celebratory reminder of Haiti's hard-won liberation from slavery and independence from France.

Actually, I don't know if Rondout is just a railroad name or what municipality it might be in. It is marked on my Atlas as "Rondout" so I'll go with it. And I must have rode my bike to Northbrook and then rode a Milwaukee Road commuter up to this interlocking tower where the Road crosses the EJ&E, and where the mainline to Madison (and once beyond even as far as Rapid City, So.Dak.) parted ways from the mainline to Milwaukee. The eastbound "Sioux" from Madison to Chicago approaches the EJ&E crossing behind E7 (17-A); until the North Shore quit operations in January '63, one could have seen one of their interurban cars crossing above, just about at the second coach. That is now a recreation trail and a bridge has been installed where the North Shore once went across. It was the branch to Mundelein, so an "Electroburger" would not have been a possible meal! The well-known Rondout interlocking tower is behind me.

Actually, this display has been changed again, getting rid of the "Christmas colors" for something that hints at spring. I couldn't resist getting this window display one more time, especially as this was at night. For this, it works well at night, as the ambient daylight isn't overpowering the lights in the display window.

This DC-3 (actually a C-47) originally overturned during landing, January 19th 1974, 20 kilometers to the south Chaitén. The wings of this DC-3 were found weeks later by the Army and Air Service Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel who went looking for the C-47 " flight T 212". But they never did find the fuselage!!

 

The DC-3 had six crew on board and a civilian, a boy aged 10, Raul of the Villar Andreuzzi, he was the son of a battalion commander and pilot of this DC-3 named Juan Raul of the Villar Arrieta.

 

In spite of passed time, 24 years later, the young boy has fresh memories of the accident. He was on a trip/vacation to Montt Port and at that time, the Air Force was in charge of supplying places in South Chili that were separated from the regional capitals. "The DC-3 was filled with milk jars and food" he said.

 

The young boy, now a publicist and age 34, remembered that he often accompanied his father during the food distribution tasks in all the elements and in 10 days, the work was completed in normal fashion without incident.

Nevertheless, the day of the accident changed time abruptly in the south of Chile, "It all happened in a ½ hour". "When the airplane began to fail, my papa piloting the DC-3, tried to follow a track toward a valley located between several hills. He made a forced landing and the ship was almost completely buried in mud and badly burning ".

 

The registry entry within the logbook of the Air Service Search and Rescue (SAR), about this particular accident, notes that six people were on board, all military, and were seated on the DC-3 in a way to keep the airplane trimmed. There were no victims, but these people have the accident embedded in there memories forever . "In the mind of a boy aged 10, you imagine that anything can happen, especially when not fully understanding what is going on". "My papa explained to me that, even with the complications of the situation, everything was under control ", said Raul of the Villar Andreuzzi.

The publicist indicated that his father radioed to give an alert/mayday in order to give exact coordinates where the accident happened, so that the authorities could activate a search. " This happened about 4.00pm in the afternoon and 'customs officers?' were sent and started looking for us in a jeep about 9.00pm that night (6 hours later). The geography in that area is quite complicated and we had crashed in a valley between hills, filled with vegetation and two meters (over 8 feet) in height and, we had extreme and drastic bad weather.

 

Raul of the Villar Andreuzzi never returned to the scene of the accident, but later found out through a friend, that an airplane fuselage had been turned into a house by a group of peasants with a chimney on top of it near the place of the original C-47 crash of 1974.

 

"Twelve years after this happened, a friend of mine traveled to the south and found an aircraft fuselage turned into a house. It occurred to me that this 'could' be the same airplane that I was involved with re the accident It seemed that the fuselage was moved quite a ways from the original crash site and, for that reason the military at the time, consisting of 14 inexperienced soldiers (who went looking for flight T 212) only found the wings weeks later" said Raul of the Villar Andreuzzi.

The 14 inexperienced soldiers of the Army that participated in the search operation of flight "T 212" got 'lost' in the province of Palena, due to bad climatic conditions and the search was abruptly suspended.

The flights of commercial airplanes to Montt Port were also cancelled leaving more than twenty passengers stranded at the local airport of Chaitén. The helicopters had no luck either, in that they could not defy the ferocious conditions of the climate. They literally had to be anchored to the concrete of the local airport. Even the helicopter of the Chilean Air Force, a Blackhawk, had to be moored to the concrete structures within the airport.

 

The expert terrestrial units were no exception, they had to remain in camp at Port Red Cardinal because of the terrible climatic conditions. Treacherous winds that reached 100 miles per hour, heavy rains, poor visibility and all electrical power shutdown in downtown Chaitén, also placed danger on the security units that regularly patrol the mountainous peaks of the Michimahuida.

 

During the15 day search all meteorological phenomena had been registered by the search party, low clouds, terrential rain, hail, hurricane like winds, etc.,

 

Even the foreign P-3 Orion aircraft could only fly within a limited area of the crash site, and the search flight itself lasted under an hour without any positive results. In addition, the crew on board of the P-3 Orion, composed of 18 'expert' search specialists, would leave the country the following day in the direction of Ecuador, with the purpose of returning part of the crew and then fly on to Puerto Rico.

Actually, the world has neither properties nor qualities, and only our sensory perception gives it certain characterizations.

Actually on this morning the Moon was 99% illuminated -- not quite full. This was shot at sunrise in Smith Rock State Park, where the upper walls of the basalt rock cliffs were bathed in warm sunlight and the light was creeping downward. This is Asterisk Pass, where the distinctive "Snoopy Head" rock at lower right would soon be fully illuminated.

Actually, I had alot of fun doing this photo, specially when my sister joined me.

*sigh*

Actually, I'm rarely a wallflower, though I do aspire to be one.

I typically hide as often as possible, though by looking at me you wouldn't know it.

I'm a total introvert.

People are always talking to me though.....sheeesh. ;-)

 

Unless you get me halfway intoxicated....uh...then I start deep conversations about the universe and parallel galaxies with people I hardly know.....hmmmm.

 

Anyways, I'm in a HUGELY better mood today. =)

Not skating on sunshine, but hell, I'm not in the gutter....he he. *grin*

 

Alrighty then.

Mucho love to all

chow for now.

Actually one of several I found upstairs in his house after he passed away. I never remember seeing this one when I was young.

With our hopes of catching this in daylight dwindling, we almost gave up until reports of this train reaching Cairo emerged and we rushed back to South Deshler where W019 was approaching from the South near Leipsic. The light slowly faded as the train entered the West siding where it would tie down for a crew change. A trio of sd40-2's ducked under the signal bridge in a scene not seen hardly ever in todays railroading landscape.

 

Deshler, Ohio

Mount Gasforta is actually a 217 m high limestone hill with steep, mostly forested slopes. It is located at the confluence of the Black and Sukhaya rivers. During the Crimean War, it became the arena of fierce battles, in particular Balaklava and the battle near Chernorechye (significant events for that time). The war provided a landmark and a name - the Kazan regiment, commanded by Vsevolod Gasfort, held the defense on it.

The limestone quarry and plans to build a mining plant near it are also credited with military significance. Sevastopol legend collectors are sure that the development of limestone was supposed to be a cover for the foundation in the bowels of the mountain of the secret command base of the Black Sea Fleet in case of the Third World War. But the result was a lake - the quarry was filled with water from the keys from the ground. And now the mountain and lake Gasforta perform peaceful duties - they are a popular vacation spot.

 

Гора Гасфорта – фактически известняковый холм высотой 217 м, с некрутыми, в основном заросшими лесом склонами. Он находится у слияния Черной и Сухой речек. При Крымской войне стал ареной жестоких сражений, в частности Балаклавского и битвы у Черноречья (события для того времени знаковые). Война обеспечила достопримечательность и названием – на ней держал оборону Казанский полк, командовал которым Всеволод Гасфорт.

Известняковому карьеру и планам строительства возле него горного комбината тоже приписывают военное значение. Севастопольские собиратели легенд уверены, что разработка известняка должна была стать прикрытием для основания в недрах горы секретной командной базы Черноморского флота на случай Третьей мировой. Но в результате получилось озерцо – карьер заполнился водой ключей из-под земли. И теперь гора и озеро Гасфорта выполняют мирные обязанности – являются популярным местом отдыха.

actually I do not have a garden!
