It has been 6 years since last visiting the Ironwood, Upper Peninsula area. My wife and our friends make a trip of it to run the Paavo Nurmi Marathon, while I am the smart of the group and don't run, they all enlist me to take their photos of the race. In our off-hours, I go looking for waterfalls - lucky for us, this one was quite close to our lodging. True to the area's name, one can see all the rusty iron in the water. Enjoy!

A waterfall I never tire of seeing is the Great Falls of Tinkers Creek in historic Bedford, Ohio. They are particularly nice when flow levels allow you to get down in the creek and experiment with different perspectives without getting soaked in spray.
National Hobo Convention
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Hobo Convention is held on the second weekend of every August] since 1900 in the town of Britt, Iowa, organized by the local Chamber of Commerce, and known throughout the town as the annual "Hobo Day" celebration. The National Hobo Convention is the largest gathering of hobos, rail-riders, and tramps, who gather to celebrate the American traveling worker.
It's very important to define between hobos, tramps and bums as the hobos are sensitive to the titles. Hobos are workers who travel to find work. Many are skilled craftsmen. They are workers. Tramps travel but don't work and Bums are just those who typically don't work and don't travel.
Parade
Traditionally there has been a parade on the Saturday at 10:00 a.m., where everyone can let their hobo spirit soar as they participate in the parade. A phrase that describes the parade is, "Some in rags, some in tags, some in velvet gowns."
According to the Chamber of Commerce:
"Whether you're part of this large grand parade, or a spectator, the spirit of the day is sure to capture your mood. Marching bands, queens, business floats, children, adults, and hobos all come down the streets in one long line and share the fun that only a Hobo Convention can provide."
From a Convention attendee:
Britt's "Hobo Days" celebration usually draws about 20,000 tourists over several days, and about 75 or 80 tramps. There is usually a carnival installed on the main drag, with a small Ferris wheel, Tilt-a-Whirl rides and so on. Most of the rides are more suitable for smaller children.
There are various food service trucks selling barbecue, pork-chop-on-a-stick, cotton candy and so on. There are often people with sort of "flea market" tables, "farmer's market" tables selling local produce, etc. Of course, the Hobo Museum is open, and Ms. Castillo's portraits of the Hobo Kings and Queens are on display.
During most conventions there is usually live music somewhere downtown in the late afternoon and at night. Saturday morning there is the "Hobo Days" parade. It's a lot like a small-town Fourth of July celebration. The parade includes fire trucks, local high school marching bands, ROTC units, antique cars, 4-H Club and FFA clubs on horseback, restored antique tractors and farm equipment and so forth.
There is always a trailer float for the hobos to ride. Hobos who participate in the parade bring a supply of individually wrapped hard candy to throw to the children along the parade route.
A signature event every year is the selection of the King and Queen of Hobos.
There are rules about who can run and the candidates' qualifications. Men must actually have been a tramp, but there are no qualification rules for the women running for Queen, and no requirement for them to ever have actually been a hobo, although many of the women who have been selected as Queen were actual rail riders with bona-fide hoboing experience. The "election" is done at the town's gazebo, and is preceded by campaign speeches. A group of vetted hobo judges decides who wins by the applause of the crowd. Inevitably, drama ensues.
All this happens as the town is serving up several thousand gallons of mulligan stew.
There is a difference between the town of Britt's "Hobo Days" celebration and the actual convention meeting itself, although visitors are more than welcome to come visit and/or camp in the "National Hobo Jungle" next to the railroad tracks. The actual convention is a convention of members of Tourist Union #63, founded in 1899 and still existing today.
(There were sixty-three original members.) Much of the convention's activities take place in the Jungle, or in the National Hobo Cemetery (which is in a corner of Britt's Evergreen Cemetery.) There is a day dedicated to cleaning, re-painting and mowing the hobo graves, and a Memorial Service the following day. Generally, shortly after the memorial service, a Hobo Council is convened, and this is an activity limited to actual hobos and members of TU63.
You can identify many members of TU63 by a small round patch sewn to a cap or jacket that is a white-bordered black circle with the white numerals "63" inside.
The jungle operates more-or-less on the "honor system."
People with the means to do so are asked to contribute an amount similar to what they would pay for a restaurant meal into the "Frisco Circle" kitty. Those without funds or with limited funds are welcome to eat for free, but encouraged to help with the kitchen chores. (Half the fun of the convention is being "part of the crew" that does the cooking, "pearl diving" and cleaning up.
Newbies are encouraged to report to the "Crumb Boss" for an assignment somewhere on the kitchen crew.) Camping in the Jungle is free. No fireworks, firewater or firearms are permitted within the jungle. (There are several bars and excellent restaurants within easy walking distance.) There are no hotel or motels in Britt.
Tent camping or "tarp camping" within the Jungle is free.

Back in October, two sailboats ran aground near Pea Island on the Outer Banks. Story goes, a man was towing a Hurricane Sandy-damaged one to Florida from New Jersey when at night, they ran aground and washed ashore. At some point in the following months, one of the boats began to break apart on the beach and was cut up and removed. The other, 'Belle,' remains. The man attempted to get them both afloat again in the months after running aground, but has given up and supposedly left the area. The Graveyard of the Atlantic has claimed another.

As I took the short walk down to Elakala Falls #1, I couldn't help but notice the lush greens covering the gnarled roots of the trees along the trail.

The Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 LM WR is the premium standard zoom for the Fuji X system. It has a full frame focal length equivalent of 24-84mm, meaning that it can cover everything from landscape to portraits (as you can see in this gallery). While not a perfect lens, it does most everything very well, and the images I was able to get with it really pleased me. My review coverage can be seen here:

While out photography high contrast images of tree trunks agains the snow I couldn’t resist photographing this lovely isolated tree coated in hoar frost. I was looking uphill and had to actually tilt the camera to make the “horizon” level.
I shot two compositions: square with the tree centred in the frame; and a 16x9 horizontal with the horizon and tree aligned to the rule-of-thirds grid lines. Neither composition is very fancy, but they work, given the subject and the perspective.
I used a polarizer to darken the sky. The sun was almost perfectly 90° to the right so the polarizer effect was quite dramatic. Still, in Lightroom I darkened the sky even more with the B/W mix tool and added quite a bit of vignetting. I think to cool toning really adds the cold atmosphere too.

Questa megattera si chiama Burst ed e' stata avvistata per la prima volta nel 2009 (grazie a watsonfoofy per l'identificazione)
This humpback whale's name is Burst and it was first seen in 2009 in these waters (thanks to watsonfoofy for the identification)
Da Boston e' facilmente raggiungibile la riserva marina di Stellwagen Bank che da aprile ad ottobre inoltrato pullula di balene che vengono in queste ricche acque per nutrirsi. La specie preponderante in queste acque e' la Megattera (Megaptera novaeangliae), cetaceo di dimensioni medie (12-16m) che si caratterizza per la presenza di lunghe pinne pettorali (1/3 della loro dimensione) e un numero cospicuo di gibbosita' sulla testa e sulle pinne pettorali. Altra caratteristica di questi cetacei e' la presenza al di sotto delle pinne caudali di chiazze e/o cicatrici bianche e nere, uniche per ciascun individuo e che di fatto a mo' di impronta digitale permettono una facile identificazione di ogni esemplare. Questa e' la foto di una megattera che ho scattato durante un viaggio di whale watching partendo da Boston. Altre foto che ho scattato durante quel viaggio le potete vedere qui.
Il comportamento piu' spettacolare di queste balene e' il breaching, ovvero il salto fuori dall'acqua. Finora in 2 viaggi non sono riuscito ad assistere a tale comportamento. Ho gia' in programma di tornare a vederle altre 2/3 volte sperando di avere piu' fortuna!
From Boston one can easily reach the marine sanctuary of Stellwagen Bank which from april to october pours of whales coming in these rich waters to feed. The most popular species is the Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), a cetacean of intermediate size (36-48 feet) which has very long pectoral fins (long 1/3 of its size) and several knobs over the head and pectoral fins. Another characteristic of these whales is the presence of patterns of black and white spots and scars under their tail flukes which allows an easy identification of each specimen just like fingerprints. This picture shot during a whale watching trip from Boston show the underside of an humpback fluke with these particular pattern. Other pictures I shot during that trip can be seen here.
The most spectacular behavior of these whales is the breaching, i.e. a leap out of the water. So far in two trips I have still not been able to see this behaviour. I have already planned to come back and see then 2/3 times hoping to be more luck!
just another reflection shot of the Crown Fountain (the north block) at Millenium Park in Chicago...i had to call out that lady's attention as she was about to walk into the reflection pool and get her shots in as well...i was glad she stopped while i shot my frame, as she would have caused some ripples in the pool....it took some time, a long time for the area to clear out a little bit so i could get this frame in.....you have to try and View On Black!!!!
On our way back from the wine country, my girlfriend and I stopped by Muir Woods for a beautiful afternoon and walking and taking in the fresh air. As we walked along the path, we came across a huge redwood that fallen. This tree is about 5 feet in diameter, huge!

Another from yesterday early evening. After the torrential rain we've had today I'm sure this scene looks very different now.
One of my favorites times is when you look from a high hill to a land and preferably to be country side or forest ... Australia , i miss you .... I remember this day i went with one of my flickr friends to the top of the hill and we got our gears out and start capturing ... i really need a new photography adventure ...

The light on the perfectly fanned out palm frond contrasted perfectly with the dark pinks behind it. Tropical sunlight...sounds good about now!

this is the barn/visitor center at the Volo Bog State Nature Area in Volo, Illinois....used a circular polarizer with this frame and the color version came out with great color saturations and contrasts so i figured that it may turn out nice if i convert it to a monochrome image...hope you like the results...pls.

A closer look at just the Wonderful Barn (not showing Barn Hall).
Something I love about this building is the repeating triangle motif. You see it over the door and in all the windows apart from the round portholes in the very top floor.

Long exposures can really bring out some deliciously awesome color tones when you photograph a big city like Chicago at this time of the night...when you wait at that right moment when the sun is just throwing out the last rays of it's sunset colors and blue hour is transitioning plus the vapors of light pollution from the city gets into the action, you can get some pretty colorful frames of the city...
Canyon Falls is a well hidden gem in Twinsburg, Ohio that sits unbeknownst at the head of a deep gorge right next to I-480.
