So far this year has been very warm here in Fairbanks. For the last two weeks we've been seeing temperatures in the 30's F and even 40's F which contrasts with averages for this time of year that indicate lows of -20F and highs of -2F. It has been caused by a strong southerly flow that when it hits the Alaska Range causes a mountain wave and downsloping winds that are warmed by compression as the come into the lower atmospheric pressures.
Another effect of the down sloping winds are the high cloud formations that make for dramatic sunrises and sunsets. This morning is especially nice.

You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him

Cause The Marvel Family deserves a sitcom, honestly.
King Kull: I don't think I've ever seen this guy done in Fig form before. Ooga chakka.
IBAC: Isn't there like a Satanic version of this guy too? Sabac or something? I dunno. Either way, this is not an easy dude to make look interesting.
Black Adam, Mister Mind and Doc Sivana are pretty much the same as ever.
Mister Atom: Didn't want to build a robot, so pretend this Sentinel is blue and yellow.
Aunt Minerva: This is a weird character, who I kind of love.
Captain Nazi: I hate Fawcett City Nazis. Boots are painted from something else.
Lemme know what you think!
... (what are those Kleshas and how many are they?)
Avidya (Misapprehension about the real nature of things), asmita, (egoism), raga (attachment), dvesha (aversion) and abhinivesha (fear of death) are the five kleshas (afflictions).

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Took this the other night when I was hanging out with my best friend, Brittany. The moon was so bright you could actually walk around outside without any lights. It was amazing. And this is totally, 100% unedited. Straight from the camera, to the computer, to flickr.
So I think I've decided that I really want to quit the 365 Days project. I'm so broken up over this cause I've learned so much because of it. It's been a huge help and a great experience. It's just really hard to keep up with and very stressful. I hate having to post crappy pictures. That's not what this is about to me. I don't want to have to force myself to create something. I'd rather have it come naturally.
Of course this doesn't mean I'll stop posting pictures or self-portraits for that matter. I may start this project up at a better time also.
Sorry guys. I know some people were really interested, and that makes me incredibly happy. Knowing that I inspired someone or that someone looks foward to something I do is the most rewarding part. I promise I won't let you guys down. I just had to end this before it went further downhill.
Can't wait to post more pictures!

The freeze Wednesday night seems to have caused the trees to start loosing their leave amass. Three exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
Second attempt at off camera flash with 7d. Black background seems to be much harder than white and I had to play with the levels in Lightroom to avoid shadows. Two flashes - 430 EX II as fill flash at 3 o'oclock and one Yn 568 at 7 oclock and elevated. Had to hide the 7d pre flash as it was causing a reflection.
The Towers of the Virgin in Zion NP is a great mountainscape to shoot at sunrise. The sandstone monoliths light up even before the Sun peeks over the mountainous eastern horizon, and we had some cotton-candy clouds in the scene as well on this morning, which turned a pretty pink. When this formation gets direct sunlight, as it did shortly after this shot was taken, the contrast gets harsh and all subtlety of hues is lost.
After doing some reading, I can now identify several of the named peaks in the Towers formation. The big guy on the left with the cap rock is West Temple. The snowy peak to its immediate right is The Sundial, and the prominent peak to The Sundial's right is The Witch Head. And my favorite, the flat peak to the right of center is the ghoulishly named Altar of Sacrifice, which has "red blood" running down its walls (caused by iron oxide in the rock).
Late afternoon at Trearddur Bay, Anglesey.... The weather front which had brought rain to the island on Sunday was passing over, but the winds were whipping up the high tide causing choppy conditions in the bay... Happy days (for a photographer!!)
Cause I needed a new profile piccu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yes the term "hoe shine" is a joke for the special snowflakes out there ♥ Still an old hag at ripe ol 28 ROFLMAO

The stripes in this field were caused by silage swaths lying for a few days which yellowed the grass underneath. A nice effect as the grass starts to grow again. Lovely September weather in Northern Ireland with lots of mist in the mornings.
Cause of death...

The Mississippi River has caused alot of headaches in the Midwest with the railroads this spring. The river crested at Burlington, IA, (19 miles upstream) on 6-02 at the 3rd highest crest on record at 24.48 feet. The record was set in 2008 at 25.78 feet. The water at Fort Madison is starting to go down, but it has a long ways to go before the yard can be put back in service. A westbound auto train blasts off for KC with a new crew on board. To the left of the train everything is completely under water. The BNSF is doing a good job keeping the busy Transcon main open considering all the high water thru town. Pretty sure back in 1993/2008 the mainline didn't do as well with higher river crests. They have sand bagged the depot and moved the employee parking lot to the north some for this flood.
The South Bank of the River Thames. A warm, summers day in Central London capturing both the people and the architecture. Truly an amazing city in all seasons.
A flowering head of blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), very difficult to control in farmers fields and if left unchecked can cause large reductions in yield
