So my new toy is the Metabones Speed Booster. It's expensive. It's worth every penny if you (1) have a lot of manual lenses that you would like to use with, and also possess, a (2) Sony NEX camera.
I've started a thread over at Mflenses to test and document compatibility, issues, etc: forum.mflenses.com/metabones-speed-booster-test-thread-t5...

Cycling Through Water
Genk, Limburg - Belgium
Em um área rural na Bélgica, sem importância hidroviária (de navegação) fizeram essa passarela onde as pessoas podem atravessar a água.
Lindo projeto, que educa e estimula o contato com a natureza. Virou uma atração turística valorizando a região.
O detalhe é que em Limburg, se concentra grandes fábricas de bicicletas. Limburg quer se colocar em evidência como um paraíso ciclístico, para atrair ainda mais turistas de bicicleta
da Holanda e do exterior.

Cycling Through Water

Walking on water may elude most of us, but this bike trail in northern Belgium offers an experience that’s almost as divine. The 212-m track, dubbed “Cycling Through Water,” slices through a large pond in the De Wijers nature reserve; in the middle, it dips low enough to put riders at eye level with the water.
The project, which was completed in 2016, is part of the Limburg province’s efforts to bolster its 1,240 miles of biking trails. “We do not want to create more miles, we want to create better miles,” says Igor Philtjens of Toerisme Limburg, the project developer. To date, Cycling Through Water has attracted more than 500,000 bikers. —Casey Quackenbush
ABOUT CYCLING THROUGH WATER
In April 2016 'Cycling through Water' opened, an inspiring cycling trail through a pond of the De Wijers nature reserve in Bokrijk-Genk. Since the opening, already 500.000 cyclists have visited the cycling trail. The project has given a boost to the entire region.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CYCLING TRAIL
The bike trail through water leads cyclists through a 212 meters long and three meters wide concrete path with water at eye level on both sides. Swans and other waterfowl float on the edge and watch the cyclists curiously. Since its opening, the interest in this special bike trail has been huge. An average of 800 visitors per day explore this unforgettable part of the Limburg cycling route network. With highs on Saturday and Sunday and no less than 5.000 cyclists on top days.

Not only cyclists participate. Many walkers also take a peek. It is nice to see how the heads of the cyclists seem to 'glide' across the water surface. That also explains the hype on social media. A lot of visitors post photos and selfies online, even blogs talk about this extraordinary experience.
The project was completed in a very short time thanks to the positive cooperation between the different partners. The construction of the bike trail was combined with nature conservation projects in the surrounding ponds. This resulted in improvement in the water quality and a significant increase in the habitat of amphibians.
'Cycling through Water' provides qualitative improvements to the larger environment. The project not only stimulates the nature reserve and open-air museum Bokrijk, but also the future tourist development of the De Wijers site, a 700 hectare network of ponds. This bicycle attraction is a clear reason for tourists to come and share.
The success of 'Cycling through Water' makes it clear that the bicycle route network in Limburg offers a very strong grid for incorporating innovative tourism projects. Through this and similar cycling experiences, Limburg is taking a place on the international map as a cycling region, where beautiful landscapes and unique heritage are strung together. In addition, these projects can be a stimulus for future development on and next to the bicycle route network.

This was taken outside the store Roden Gray at 6:30 in the morning where over 300 people, my self included, lined up to get a chance to be in a raffle to have the opportunity to purchase the Yeezy Boost 350 Moonrocks. Luckily my group came away with one of 8 pairs.
Its interesting what brings people together.
Although it seemed Guido and I lost the chance to photograph the little owls, late in the afternoon we did got a positive message that they were spotted again. Well worth a try. The sun disappeared and clouds took the overhand so the camera ISO boosted to the limits, After a "little" bit of luck, the only thing left was to get rid of that awful pole on the left (PS)...

I know this is a little blurry... and very dusty... but it just fits with that book title.
I had a very busy and little crazy day yesterday. I plan on doing a lot of underachieving today.

Some like to boost their stories artificially, making a mountain out of a molehill. Since wanting to make everybody else acknowledge the storyteller’s greatness, the whole play forms a buffer layer between reality and wishful thinking. And as the narrative evolves, fear and insecurity behind it slowly disappear in thig fog of hard-earned exaggerations.
Yet, one day this tactic always stops working, causing everything to collapse like a house of cards and ending in a complete mess. But making things bigger than they are, does not automatically make them better. In the end, is it the ones who can do without those pompous made-up stories who can convince by the simplicity of their purity.
The latest ex-Metrobus East Lancs Esteem-bodied Dart to join the Avondale fleet is PN06 UYX (ex-M.B 267). An ex-Abellio London E200 (LJ56 VST; ex-A.B 8102) joined the fleet at around the same time (early/mid-December 2017), the first of it's type to be operated by the company.
Still adorned with it's former owner's name, number & London 'Cleaner Air' credentials, it's seen at a damp Chalmers St with a 200 from Drumchapel to Linnvale.

Gedurende de Eerste Wereldoorlog nam het binnenlandse toerisme in het neutrale Nederland toe. Een uitstap over de de grens was immers niet praktisch mogelijk. Om de binnenlandse toeristen van dienst te zijn, werden er meer wegwijzers geplaatst. Door de oorlogsomstandigheden was ijzer schaars en duur. Daarom werd er een eenvoudige betonnen wegwijzer in de vorm van een paddenstoel ontwikkeld. De paddenstoel paste met de aan natuur ontleende vorm goed in het landschap. In de zomer van 1919 werden de eerste proefmodellen geplaatst. De paddenstoelen waren ontworpen door architect ir. J.H.W. Leliman. Hij is onder andere bekend van het Noord-Hollands Koffiehuis, recht tegenover Amsterdam C.S.
Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd een nieuw model geïntroduceerd. Model “Boost”, genoemd naar A. G. M. Boost.
Hij was voor de oorlog kapitein bij de Genie en had meerdere kazernes ontworpen. De oorspronkelijke versie van de Boost-paddenstoel was voorzien van de letters ANWB in ieder van de vier vlakken van het dakje.
Uiteindelijk bleken de vertikale vlakken van de Boost-paddenstoelen minder prettig leesbaar en werd er teruggegrepen naar een aangepaste versie van het oorspronkelijke ontwerp van Leliman met schuine vlakken.
De afgebeelde Boost-paddenstoel staat nabij Wapserveen in de provincie Drenthe aan de T-splitsing van het Midden-Oosteinde met de Wapserouwerweg.

A couple Flapper employees made a drunken bet against a table of Cirvo-Volador engineers in 1926. Three years later they won a year of free drinks on the rival company's dime, a financial boon which boosted Flapper back into the limelight or aerospace innovation.
(85% sure that yellow bar piece isn't genuine Lego, but, oh well.)
So I made a parrot hardsuit way back in 2012 or 13. I also have in my Flickr gallery a chicken-version made in Lego Digital Designer. And now, years later, I finally revamped the original model that's somehow survived being taken apart all this time. It's my newest League of Lego Heroes entry, Boost-Rooster.
I feel like this guy has to be an anti-hero. Just an exceptionally technically-inclined fowl who probably has a bone to pick with Tyson Foods, among others.
