Our back yard at the dead of night with the pots of spring bulbs and the coloured night lights lighting the way across the decking. A 20 second exposure at f5.6 and ISO400. The pseudo HDR look has been given to it in the RAW setting by increasing the Clarity slider to almost +100 in ACR in Photoshop CC

Given the low clip-on handlebars and forward-set foot pegs, the steed on the right is more suited to a rider of simian rather than homo sapien tendencies.
When the parking garage was here that was a great dark dank narrow alley. So great that they used it in the set for Spiderman3. The fact that this is the back of Cordatos and The Pussycat Lounge gave it that much more character.
The lake was too foggy to shoot but when I turned to look back at the land I realized that the light was perfect in that direction.
Run that back, Turbo
[Verse 1: Lil Baby]
You can get the biggest Chanel bag in the store if you want it
I gave 'em the drip, they sucked it up, I got 'em moanin'
I bought a new Patek, I had the watch, so I two-toned 'em
Takin' these drugs, I'm gon' be up until the mornin'
That ain't your car, you just a leaser, you don't own it
If I'm in the club, I got that fire when I'm performin'
The backend just came in, in all hundreds
Fives galore, cute shit, they all on us
I'm from Atlanta where young niggas run shit
I know they hatin' on me, but I don't read comments
Whenever I tell her to come, she comin'
Whenever it's smoke, we ain't runnin'
[Chorus: Lil Baby]
Drip too hard, don't stand too close
You gon' fuck around and drown off this wave
Doin' all these shows, I've been on the road
I don't care where I go, long as I get paid
Bad lil' vibe, she been on my mind
Soon as I get back, she gettin' slayed
Do this all the time, this ain't no surprise
Every other night, another movie gettin' made
Drip too hard, don't stand too close
You gon' fuck around and drown off this wave
Doin' all these shows, I've been on the road
I don't care where I go, long as I get paid
Bad lil' vibe, she been on my mind
Soon as I get back, she gettin' slayed
Do this all the time, this ain't no surprise
Every other night, another movie gettin' made
[Verse 2: Gunna]
Yeah, every other night, another dollar gettin' made
Every other night started with a good day
I feel like a child, I got boogers in the face
Diamonds dancin' in the dark like this shit is a parade
I don't want your chain, Young Gu-wunna not a slave
I had to draw the line, too many bitches gettin' saved
TSA harass me, so I took a private plane
These pussy niggas lackin', why I'm workin' on my aim
Drip too hard (Too hard), charge it to the card (To the card)
Designer to the ground, I can barely spell the names
Drip too hard, caution on the floor
You gon' fuck around and drown tryna ride a nigga wave
[Chorus: Lil Baby]
Drip too hard, don't stand too close
You gon' fuck around and drown off this wave
Doin' all these shows, I've been on the road
I don't care where I go, long as I get paid
Bad lil' vibe, she been on my mind
Soon as I get back, she gettin' slayed
Do this all the time, this ain't no surprise
Every other night, another movie gettin' made
Drip too hard, don't stand too close
You gon' fuck around and drown off this wave
Doin' all these shows, I've been on the road
I don't care where I go, long as I get paid
Bad lil' vibe, she been on my mind
Soon as I get back, she gettin' slayed
Do this all the time, this ain't no surprise
Every other night, another movie gettin' made
It's that time of year... Time for back to school... And this year, my girls are not students... My oldest daughter got a position as a Parapro for a Pre-K class and my youngest daughter is doing her internship in Kindergarten... Luckily, they are at the same school and will be just across the hall from each other... Today, they had Open House and got to meet their little students...

Aaah, finally made it back to Flickr! It's a good feeling! ^_^
I haven't had the time to make new photos, so this is a photo from last week.
I've never photographed a train station or the rails before, so I've tried to find some good lines.
Also tried something new in editing a photo. In photo class, we've learned to do some selective coloring, so I gave it a try on this one. I'm starting to like this kind of editing, so I think there will be more of this! =)

The back of this piece is covered with bezel set diamonds that are polished shards mostly flat, predates rose cuts. APPRAISER LADY, tell me about this!

After morning having a look around Boboli Gardens, we started to make our way back to the other side of the Arno River in Florence. Was hoping to cross the Ponte Vecchio, but my route took us a few bridges to the west.
So once on Lungarno Guicciardini, walked between the Ponte alla Carraia and the Ponte Santa Trinita (the bridge we had earlier crossed in a taxi). But did get to see the back side of the Ponte Vecchio that I wanted to see!
The Ponte Santa Trìnita (Italian for Holy Trinity Bridge, named for the ancient church in the nearest stretch of via de' Tornabuoni) is a Renaissance bridge in Florence, Italy, spanning the Arno. The Ponte Santa Trìnita is the oldest elliptic arch bridge in the world, characterised by three flattened ellipses. The outside spans each measure 29 m (95 ft) with the centre span being 32 m (105 ft) in length. The two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Vecchio, to the east, and the Ponte alla Carraia to the west.
The bridge was constructed by the Florentine architect Bartolomeo Ammannati from 1567 to 1569. Its site, downstream of the Ponte Vecchio, is a major link in the medieval street plan of Florence, which has been bridged at this site since the 13th century. The wooden bridge of 1252 was swept away in a flood seven years later and was rebuilt in stone; this structure was in turn destroyed by a flood in 1333. The bridge of five arches constructed by Taddeo Gaddi was also destroyed in the flood of 1557, which occasioned Ammannati's replacement. Four ornamental statues of the Seasons were added to the bridge in 1608, as part of the wedding celebrations of Cosimo II de' Medici with Maria Magdalena of Austria: Spring by Pietro Francavilla, Summer and Autumn by Giovanni Caccini, and Winter by Taddeo Landini.
On the night between 3 and 4 of August 1944, the bridge was destroyed by retreating German troops on the advance of the British 8th Army. A Bailey bridge was built for temporary use by the Royal engineers. The bridge was reconstructed in 1958 with original stones raised from the Arno[4] or taken from the same quarry, under the direction of architect Riccardo Gizdulich and engineer Emilio Brizzi. The missing head of Primavera was recovered from the bed of the Arno in October 1961.
View to the Ponte alla Carraia.
The Carraia bridge is one of the bridges that cross the Arno river in Florence between the historic centre and the Oltrarno district.
It was the second to be built after the Ponte Vecchio and its first name was Ponte Nuovo.
The earliest records of the construction date back to 1218 : the initially wooden bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1274 . It was rebuilt early, but as early as 1304 it yielded again by the weight of the crowd that overhung it to watch a show on the river.
After the disastrous flood of 1333 it was the first bridge to be rebuilt, it seems to follow a project by Giotto .
Damaged again in 1557 , it was still rebuilt at the behest of Cosimo I, who commissioned the work to Ammannati who was already working on the Santa Trinita bridge .
At the end of the nineteenth century it was enlarged to allow a smoother passage for wagons and carriages.
Later it was mined, like all Florentine bridges, during World War II and blown up by the retreating Nazis to prevent the passage of allied troops.
In 1948 it was rebuilt again, as it is now visible, maintaining the structure of the ancient 5-arch project by architect Ettore Fagiuoli .
