Death Valley National Park
Hope you're not tired of my shots from Death Valley cause I'm going to be uploading a lot of them.
This shot required quite a drive up narrow roads and a six mile dirt road culminating in a drive up to the peak of this mountain on a very narrow road with no barriers and a 6300 drop on one end. Once you're on top of the peak, it was pretty cold but the view was spectacular. This picture hopefully conveys the view and the depth of the Valley. In the background are the salt flats of Death Valley.
There's a 20 degree difference between the flats and the point.
Have a great weekend folks.
Best if viewed large on black
History on the point from the Death Valley Chamber:
Pete Aguereberry was an unusual man among the prospectors in Death Valley. For one thing Pete, who was Basque, actually found gold and, rather than selling his claims to a mining company to develop, he worked them himself (in later years a nephew helped him) until his death in 1945. In 1906 he and Shorty Harris were travelling in the area together when Pete found a ledge that looked promising. When he showed it to Shorty, they both became excited. Pete filed claims on the north side of the hill while Shorty filed claims on the south side. They named the town that sprung up Harrisberry, after both of them. Later Shorty managed to change the name to Harrisburg. Long after the town died out and Shorty moved on, Pete stayed and worked in his Eureka mine, which today is open to the public during the spring and summer months. In the winter months the mine is the hibernating spot for the rare Townsend's Big-eared Bat and is gated to protect the population. Pete's cabin and a guest house he built in 1941 are still at the site. Around the corner from the mine is the ruin of the Cashier stamp mill. Further down the unpaved road is the view that Pete loved to show to visitors and was named after him by the AAA auto club. Aguereberry Point is a breathtaking panoramic view of Death Valley from almost 7,000 feet. The last section of the road to the Point is very steep, narrow and rugged.
Following an extreme cold snap that caused temperatures drop to their lowest levels in 25 years, many Chicago area companies had to adjust service schedules after having cancelled pickups on both Wednesday and Thursday of that week. Groot Industries' Elgin, Illinois location cancelled pickup for its Wednesday residential customers entirely, and picked up its Thursday and Friday routes each a day late.
This Autocar ACX Heil Python is seen collecting recycling in Hanover Park on Saturday morning.
This is one of 5 Pythons currently being run by Groot Industries, a Waste Connections company, that were acquired following an asset swap with Republic Services that took place in 2017. There are multiple spots on the unit where you can see some Republic Blue bleeding through. This is the only Python mounted on an Autocar; the other Pythons are all mounted on Mack LEUs.
cause this is like hell, and i hope is worth it
me- Mica, you'll LOVE the new place, ut has a room for the nomads to be without being scattered in pieces
Mica- Oh, GOOD! cause , you know, it's not nice having bodies and eyeballs by my side while i try to ignore those are pieces of my body too....
A Chilly Morning in Bradgate Park -
Despite the freezing 0°C temperature this morning, I couldn’t resist heading out for a photo tour. The grey winter skies, often caused by increasingly frequent storms due to climate change, can be quite discouraging. However, the soft, glowing hues of the early morning sun always have a magical effect on nature, enhancing every frame we capture and bringing joy to photography enthusiasts like myself. Even the simple act of saying good morning feels different on a bright, sunny day.
Living near the historic Bradgate Park is truly a privilege. As I stepped into the park and took a short five-minute walk, I came across two fallow deer fawns (Dama dama) wandering alone, separated from their herd. Without my camouflage cover, I had to move carefully, stepping only on the damp, soft leaves to avoid making any noise. My 1.4x teleconverter wasn’t attached to my 500mm lens, and attempting to change it would have startled them.
As I observed, a group of jackdaws landed on one of the fawns, searching for ticks and other insects in its fur. It was a beautiful display of interspecies cooperation, and I was delighted to witness this moment of solidarity. Both seemed quite at ease, and the interaction lasted for about two minutes. The young fawn was busy with its morning meal and didn’t allow the jackdaws near its neck. Eventually, it leapt slightly, signaling that it had had enough, and the two little companions trotted back toward their family.
Although it wasn’t the exact shot I had envisioned, I plan to work on this subject in the coming weeks and hope to capture even better frames. One particularly striking moment was when a jackdaw perched near the tail of a fallow deer, beautifully framed against the golden bokeh created by the sunlight reflecting in the background.
During my four-hour tour, I also managed to photograph another fallow deer cautiously keeping an eye on me, maintaining a safe distance. And of course, no trip to Bradgate Park would be complete without capturing my favorite small bird—the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)! I included three different poses of this charming little bird as well.
Now, I leave you with the nine images I uploaded to my Flickr account this afternoon. Thank you all for your comments, favorites, and support. Wishing you a great evening!
Fallow Deer Fawn (Dama dama)
The Fallow Deer (Dama dama) is one of the most recognizable and widespread deer species in the UK, known for its beautiful spotted coat. Its fawns are particularly charming and are a favorite subject for wildlife photographers.
Identification
Size: At birth, fawns weigh approximately 4-5 kg.
Coat:
Newborn fawns have a light brown coat with prominent white spots that provide camouflage in grassy or woodland areas.
As they mature, the spots may fade but are still visible in the summer coat of adults.
Eyes: Large, dark eyes that enhance their endearing appearance.
Behavior
Birth Season: Fawns are typically born between May and July.
Hiding: For the first few weeks, fawns remain hidden in tall grass or woodland undergrowth, relying on their spotted coat for camouflage. They remain motionless when predators or humans are nearby.
Dependence on Mother: Fawns nurse from their mothers and stay close to them for protection. By autumn, they begin grazing more independently but remain within the safety of the herd.
Habitat
Fallow deer are found in parks, open grasslands, and woodlands across the UK. Managed deer parks like Bradgate Park and Richmond Park are excellent places to observe them.
Diet
Fawns primarily rely on their mother’s milk during the first 8-10 weeks.
As they grow, they begin to graze on grasses, herbs, and leaves.
Conservation Status
Fallow deer are not native to the UK but were introduced by the Romans or Normans.
They are now naturalized and thrive in many areas, often managed in parks to prevent overpopulation.
Their conservation status is of "Least Concern."
Interesting Facts
Fawns are born with no scent, which helps them avoid detection by predators.
Their characteristic spots are most prominent during the first months of life.
Fallow deer are known for their seasonal coat changes, with darker coats in winter and lighter, spotted coats in summer.
Where to Spot Them in the UK
Bradgate Park, Richmond Park, and Knole Park are some of the best places to see Fallow Deer and their fawns in their natural habitat. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for observing their activities.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

13/52 - self portrait challenge
It has been a very busy week and i have had very little time to plan a self portrait - so this will have to do. After the heavy rains from night before last the weather has turned and the temperatures have dropped. We are heading for an early winter it seems.
It looks like i may be able to purchase myself a speedlite - any opinions from other users out there, would be great to know if it worthwhile investing into one for off camera / fill flash.

This young man was trying to draw both giraffes to himself, log enough for his co-worker to run into the habitat to collect a fecal sample.
The giraffes may have been distracted by the lettuce, but my attention was on his tattoos. Even his employer is spelled out in ink.
The cause? Humans....The effect? Drought and heat.
I know this is dark and not pretty but find it necessary to document what is happening in Central Texas...not just here but other places in the world too. Our desperate earth cannot heal unless we step up and do our part. This weighs heavy on my mind during most of my waking hours.
Another point that moderns do not grasp, is that there is no reason for necessarily seeking the cause of a phenomenon on the plane where it is produced, and that on the contrary one has to consider the possibility of a non-material cause, above all when it is a question of a phenomenon whose beginning is unknown a priori, and unknowable materially, as is the origin of living beings.
Transformist evolutionism is the classical example of the bias that invents "horizontal" causes because one does not wish to admit a "vertical" dimension: one seeks to extort from the physical plane a cause that it cannot furnish and that is necessarily situated above matter.
Even within the order of physical causes, one has to take into account the simultaneous presence of the immanent metaphysical Cause: if a seed is the immediate cause of a plant, it is because the divine archetype intervenes in the physical causality. Geometrically speaking, causes can be situated on the "concentric circles" that constitute the Universe, but other causes - and with all the more reason the First Cause - are situated at the Center and act through the radii emanating from it.
The divine Intellect contains the archetypes of creation, and it is starting from this Cause - or from this causal system - at a given cyclic "moment" of the cosmogonic process, that the "ideas" are "incarnated" which will be manifested in the form of contingent creatures.
We do not ask physicists to be content with an anthropomorphic and naive creationism; but at least it would be logical on their part - since they aim at a total and
flawless science - to try to understand the traditional ontocosmological doctrines, especially the Hindu doctrine of the envelopes (kosha) of the Self (Atma): a doctrine that, precisely, presents the Universe as a system of circles proceeding from the Center-Principle to that extreme limit which for us is matter.
For human science does not derive solely from the need to know and to register; more profoundly its origin is the thirst for the essential; now the sense of essentiality attracts us toward shores other than those of the limited plane of physical phenomena alone.

This bald eagle really spooked the other birds including gulls, ducks and sandhill cranes, when it took flight.
Terrell's Island Preserve, Lake Butte des Morts, Omro, Wisconsin
Summer turned to winter
And the snow it turned to rain
And the rain turned into tears upon your face
And god I hope it's not too late
It's not too late
'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your worlds crashing down
And you can't bear to fall
I said, babe, you're not lost
Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away
'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the worlds crashing down
And you can not bear to crawl
I said, baby, you're not lost
In 1959, Ribble Motor Services of Preston caused a stir when they introduced a prototype Weymann (CH34/16Ft) bodied Leyland PDR1/1 Atlantean double-deck coach, registered MCK 812 fleet number 1251.. This would form the ''Gay Hostess'' class of Leyland Atlanteans double-deck coaches, with 50 Chapman reclining seats, and a toilet at the rear of the lower-deck. They were powered by the Leyland 0.680 engine to give a top speed of 65mph. The word gay meant happy in the fifties, all the Gay Hostess Atlanteans would carry a Hostess or Steward who would serve light refreshments and cigarettes. MCK 812 would be the first PSV to use the new M1 motorway when it opened at 9:30am on Monday 2nd November 1959. Production Gay Hostess Atlanteans would enter service in 1960 and 1961, 15 entered service with Ribble, and 22 with its Blackpool subsididiary W.C. Standerwick, eventually all 38 Atlanteans were in the Standerwick fleet.
The prototype ECW Bristol VRL No.50 entered service in December 1968, with the production examples entering service between 1970-1972. The Gay Hostess Atlanteans were withdrawn having covered high mileages. City Sightseeing of London who became Ensign Bus purchased ex Ribble Gay Hostess NRN 607 fleet number 1258 new in June 1960, and painted into this striking Union Jack livery for use on sightseeing services around London. In 1972 production of the second spin off film of the popular ITV sitcom On the Buses commenced this was Mutiny On the Buses. The three spin off films were produced by Hammer/EMI using the same cast as the television series, but the name of the bus company was changed to Town & District, the television series used the name Luxton & District Traction Company which London Weekend Television who produced On the Buses for ITV had registered the name, so nobody could use it, LWT did not get any money from the films, so would not allow the film makers to use the Luxton & District Traction Company name. In the Mutiny On the Buses film, Town & District decide to run a service to Winsor Safari Park, using a double-deck coach, NRN 607 was hired from City Sightseeing for use in the film. This view shows NRN 607 in central London in the summer of 1972, I won the slide on eBay with full copyright, photographer Cliff Essex.
Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust (RVPT) own former Standerwick Gay Hostess No.26.
Trivia about On the Buses: It was created and written by Ronald Chesney and Ronald Wolfe and produced by London Weekend Television (LWT) between 1969 and 1973, 74 episodes in total. LWT was formed in August 1968 and was the weekend franchise holder for the London area, ATV had the weekend franchise in London, but was awarded the 7 day franchise for the Midlands. Associated Rediffusion and ABC both holders of franchise in the London area were forced to join together to form Thames Television who took on the Monday to Friday franchised in London, this happened at the same time as LWT were formed. Thames would take over the former ABC studio complex at Teddington, while LWT took over the former Rediffusion studio complex at Wembley.
The Eastern National depot at Wood Green was used as the bus depot for the television series. Eastern National also proved the buses used, Bristol FLF Lodekka double-deck buses. Reg Varney who played bus driver Stan Butler passed his PSV test with Eastern National so he could really drive the buses. Bob Grant who played Jack Harper the conductor had worked as a bus driver before going into acting. Stephen Lewis who played inspector Cyril Blake (Blakey) came up with the catch phases ''I ate you Butler'' and ''Get that bus out'' himself. Before the first episode was made, Reg, Bob and Stephen spent two weeks at the Wood Green depot watching the people that they would be portraying, Reg once said even down to how a bus driver climbed in and out of the cab of the bus.

Heavy thunderstorm caused our train to stop. Soon the lightning show started. I set up my camera over my passenger seat and started shooting. This was the best photograph I was able to capture.

The blues ain't nothing but a good man feelin' bad
I am still here praying everyday for Fall to come, cause this heat is getting a bit ignoring. I cant believe its almost October and we still getting weather above 95 degrees! This is so unusual that maybe this globe warming issue is actually real.
I took this sometime during last week when i visited downtown for my Digital Imaging class. I really like the pattern of clouds, and also the pattern of colors. One of my main category was to express Memphis through color, so this is my first trial shots.
Really liking all my classes, beside the test and homework's.
Look for more shots this coming week! hope everyone have a great Sunday!
expect me on your stream soon!
oh i got featured on thedphoto!! heres the link

A couple I know are going through a major transition. While talking to hubbie about it, I wished him good luck. He said, "this is not about luck. At this point it's all a matter of cause and effect." We left it at that.
Last weekend we had significant rainfall in Nevada City--over 10 inches. On Monday morning after the storm blew through, I opened the door to let the dogs out and was overwhelmed by the chirping of the frogs. All of a sudden, overnight, there were thousands of them, filling the air with their staccato songs. It gave me a moment of pause, and got me to thinking about that cause and effect thing. I think there may be a tad of wisdom in it.

Cause taking a picture is just a very good reason to know more about the world around me. I observe it and then a small piece of it is preserved in the form of light, colour and life. It's my own way to see what I want to really see.

Are gonna keep you alive someday
a lot has happened in the last (almost exactly) 2 years. what i thought was a new beginning and a change to be made and to happen resulted in one of the worst years of my life. and when i say worst, i mean it. most of you witnessed portions of it thru my 365. and i'm grateful for the friendships that came out of that, especially when i just needed it - you know who you are. ♥
I first had months of anticipating positive change, months of being in a horrendous depression & not knowing what to do, and months of re-building. W/o the first two, I wouldn't have been able to get myself better, to know myself and what i know to be what's best for me.
I've never been more confident of knowing I will be able to handle what comes my way and never again, never - knowingly - put up with anyone's bullshit. My life just doesn't have time for that anymore, and honestly it never did.
While, I have moments of sadness b/c something triggers a bad moment, it doesn't dictate the rest of my day, nor define me, nor will I allow it to stand in the way of what other little things make my life awesome.
I wouldn't be able to give my dream a go and chase it, as I intend to now, w/o the whiplash I had last year. I wouldn't do over in the sense that I'd never want to feel what i felt again, but I am grateful that out of the bullshit came opportunity.
