A thunderstorm approaches Sydney's Northern suburbs. A spectacular sound and light show, heavy rain and pea-sized hail soon followed.
A lot of my approach shots were a bit soft thanks to too slow a shutter speed (my fault) and some pretty good bumps and bounces but it's still London and that's what matters.

Taken while riding my bicycle. I'm about to pass between these two streetcars, but the real hazard is the oncoming RTA vehicle, which can be seen in the distance. Not to worry: I survived.

Approaching the Mombasa Terminus at the half-way mark of our day trip from Nairobi to Mombasa and return, by the new Chinese built Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
My first shot of a flying aircraft from ground. This Finnair bird flew in from Miami and I got to step onboard a couple of hours later.
My old Flickr user icon was taken onboard this aircraft on that day.

Now on home rails and nearing its destination, Wisconsin & Southern train JH03 (there was probably a new train number by then, but I still go by the old ones) gets ready to cross WIS-67. That's conductor MFJ blowing the horn.

Arrival at Belize International Airport, after the ten minute hop from the Cayes. Better in-flight entertainment than Air China any day.
This is a painting of my interpretation of the I.N.S.S. MacArthur from The Mote in God's Eye, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. I built this as a model in 2000, and it sits on my shelf today. I used a photo of the model as an underlay, which proved convenient. The approaching spacecraft was entirely hand illustrated
This approach to DTW (Detroit Metro Airport in Wayne County) passes the pyramid of solid waste visible from the air in the foreground. Generations of consumer and business decisions result in throwing away the packaging, the left-over or unwanted portions, or the worn out things displaced by the newer acquisition. Bagged up into weekly deposits, these collectively form a man-made mountain of waste. Archaeologists, engineers and other scientists, beginning with the late William Rathje’s Garbage Project in Phoenix, AZ, have mined the waste heaps of metropolitan areas on several continents as a source of social information about who buys what and how that is used, disused, or abused. Individuals and businesses consider waste, “out of sight is out of mind,” but it doesn't really go away unless incinerated. Instead it goes to the “long term storage” of landfill sites.
Goldfield is an unincorporated community and the county seat of Esmeralda County, Nevada, United States, with a resident population of 268 at the 2010 census. It is located about 240 miles (390 km) southeast of Carson City, along U.S. Route 95.
Goldfield was a boomtown in the first decade of the 20th century due to the discovery of gold — between 1903 and 1940, Goldfield's mines produced more than $86 million. Much of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1924, although several buildings survived and remain today, notably the Goldfield Hotel, the Consolidated Mines Building (the communications center of the town until 1963), and the schoolhouse. Gold exploration still continues in and around the town today.
