Lots of gear om hand to capture the action at the Toronto Honda Indy Practice sessions. Everyone focused on incoming action in the United Pits.
Was out in the garden with one of my wee hearts and as i passed this spiders web, I wondered if the heart would get stuck in the web...and it did. Although the spider was none too pleased, more of which later on.
Captured this scene with only a few minutes of dusk left. As the light was filtering thru I zoomed the lens in. The effect I got was unexpected.
taken on Ditchling Common Nature Reserve, Sussex, just as tun peeped through the darkness...

A capture I took during a walk with my parents near my childhood home. Even so the capture looks confusing at first glance it has some special mood to it. At least in my opinion.
The Image was taken with my new Nikon 20 mm 1.8G lense. I think it is going to be one of my favorite lenses.
Friendship & Vision emanate at Founders Corner...
Life-size bronze sculptures were unveiled earlier today of Mr Alan Bond and Mr Harunori Takahashi, who shared a vision which became reality... that of Bond University.
Alan Bond, 1987:
'The establishment of Bond University will herald innovation. It will be a practical University. Bond University will set new standards in excellence for other institutions to copy and follow.
'It will be bold and pioneering, resourceful and determined. Its graduates will have demonstrated they are hard workers and will be in demand around the world.
'Bond University will always look and plan for the future - a future where Australia is a partner in business ventures and joint developments throughout the global village.
'Bond University is now in place. Vision has become reality. The way is now - ahead.'
Harunori Takahashi, 1987:
'We are able to join with Australia in the project of Bond University with the highest aspirations and motivation to set new standards of achievement.
'Bond University will offer education in a specialised way to Australia and to other countries, enabling its students to take their place in a world of rapid technological change and equip them to Take advantage of technology to reach out and achieve new goals and new horizons.
'We are honoured to be a partner in a venture which marks an historic new milestone in Japanese-Australian friendship and co-operation.'
The Nigella (Love-in-a-mist) have been very prolific this year. This flower bud was taken in the middle of a Nigella forest on the drive of my daughter’s home.
They’re a really odd plant to look at, with spiky leaves and strange flowers, and even stranger seedheads. Very alien.
This was cooked, monochromed and blue-toned using Silver Efex. Before that, though, it had a fair bit of prestidigitation in Viveza and Color Efex, and it was finished off with Topaz DeNoise. In other words I was having too much fun playing. I hope you like the result, though, a heart in a cage.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Donnerstagsmonochrom :)

NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough and ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured and berthed Japan’s HTV-6 supply craft on 14 December using the International Space Station’s 17 m-long Canadarm2 robotic arm.
The H-II Transfer Vehicle, or HTV, is also called Kounotori – Japanese for ‘white stork’. The sixth craft in the series, it was launched from Japan’s Tanegashima spaceport on 9 December.
Setting up a temporary robotics workstation in the Station’s Cupola observatory module, the astronauts monitored the approaching six-tonne craft until it stopped 10 m from the Station. Working two joysticks, Shane moved Canadarm2 to grasp HTV-6 before berthed it at the Station’s Harmony module.
The six astronauts on the Space Station have already started unloading the four tonnes of supplies, including food, equipment and new batteries to store solar-generated electricity. The batteries will be installed next month during a spacewalk.

Passing Killington lake this evening the lake was like a mirrow so I had to stop to see what I could capture. The sky was plain grey and the light was going fast but I had to try and with a little help from Lightroom this is what I got. The eye of the serpent is Killington services.

At The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 23rd June 2023.
About the photograph.
On the left side of the photo, are two of the re-enactors dressed up as Second World War American soldiers, often nicknamed as GIs. There is also another re-enactor dressed as a GI, barely noticeable behind many of the guys seen on the right side of the photo.
The two on the left are seen carrying Thompson M1928A1 submachine guns, while the third one is almost hidden, therefore difficult to see what weapons he got.
The guys who are holding up their hands, are re-enactors dressed up as Second World War German soldiers. A common popular belief is that they’re called the Wehrmacht, but this is partial true.
Wehrmacht is a German word made up of wehren meaning “to defend” and Macht meaning “power or force” thus imply the meaning of “armed forces.”
Britische Wehrmacht mean British Armed Forces, therefore the German Wehrmacht would mean the whole of the German armed forces, therefore the whole of the German military.
They are correctly referred as the Heer, a German word meaning Army. A Heer soldier, or in German language (as far as I know) a Heer soldat.
The Wehrmacht is made up of the Heer (Army), the Kriegsmarine (navy), and the Luftwaffe (air force).
The action they are carrying out, is a re-enactment of the Americans capturing a group of German soldiers whom have surrendered.
In the far background, near the top of the photo, are what looked like three of the Tank Museum’s own staff, doing filming of the re-enactment action.
The photograph was shot in colour, but I converted it to black and white in Adobe Lightroom and cropped for a more dramatic action, and as homage to the WWII era where black and white photos are more common than colour photos.
About TANKFEST and The Tank Museum.
The Tank Museum is found next to the British Army military base, simply called Bovington Camp, and is used by various tank regiments.
The writer Rudyard Kipling once visited Bovington in 1923, and saw some damaged tanks left from the First World War. He recommended that a museum should be set up.
However the museum was simply a shed, and was not open to the public until about 1947, when the museum was finally set up.
By about 1982, the museum was expanded and modernized, it housed many various different tanks in the Exhibition halls, along with working tanks which are often show in the live action arena.
The museum also has the only working German Tiger I tank, known as Tiger 131.
TANKFEST is an annual live action re-enactment event showing off various working tanks in staged display, in the museum’s showground known as Kuwait Arena.
For more information, just Google “TANKFEST, The Tank Museum, Bovington.”

Here's a beautiful perspective of the up-left blowhole of a sperm whale. This is absolutely my best shot for me, also because of the story behind it. I was observing and taking pictures of this individual as always. Then, I realised it was coming toward the boat. In the beginning, it seemed it was directed to the front of the boat. However, it suddenly changed its route and came directly in front of me. I was totally amazed and I was silently crying. Because it didn't stop. It continued to come towards me, every shot nearer to me. And this was the last shot I was able to take before it was right in front of me, so close I could have touched it. I have some really beautiful (but unclear) close-up of the whale because I was only able to take pictures, without even changing the zoom. Shots that represent a small part of the individual (the head, the tail) in an impressive detailed manner. They are so lovely to me, but they really don't say anything to someone external to this story. Although, this picture shows the unicity of the sperm whales and, to me, their incredible beauty. I hope that everyone that can see this photo could be able to feel the same love I feel.
