Me, at the landing zone of a property that used Treasure Quest tokens to collect for free Lindens.
There are a variety of groups you can join in Second Life to make money, however, not all games require a group membership and are available to anyone. I think of the games offered as the current version of "camping," where residents used to stay in a designated area or on a chair in location for a period of time before they could earn some Lindens. Sometimes, camping residents might have to perform a service like scrub a floor, etc.
Property owners purchase the items that distribute Linden money in order to attract visitor traffic to their properties or businesses. The number of visitors is then used to rank these properties in terms of popularity when people use keywords to search for places in Second Life that match keywords in the description of the location.
For me, collecting money through these games helps provide me with an income that I can use in turn to not only buy goods and supplies for myself, but also to use for tipping entertainers and businesses...spreading around the wealth, as they say. Second Life definitely has a diverse economy to support!
This little solitary bee has collected a lot of pollen!
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I don't know why, but sometimes a bee's metabolism will tank. This flower was in the shade, and maybe the transition from being in the sun to being on the flower was enough to cause the critter's metabolism to drop. But whatever the reason the bee allowed me to get close enough for this shot. Some of you have asked me how close I get to my subjects, and if you look in the lower left corner that's my index finger :)

*50 Jahre TMZ Tram Museum Zürich 1967-2017*
Le 20 août 2017, le TMZ a organisé une journée spéciale pour les autobus historiques.
Malgré l'éclatement de la collection qui avait fait couler beaucoup d'encre il y a quelques années, une rencontre d'autobus hébergés par divers groupements a pu être mise sur roues.
Le TMZ a récemment pris de nouveaux véhicules dans sa collection d'autobus.
Entamée il y a de nombreuses années, la restauration de l'autobus Saurer 4ZP 305 (1953)
arrive à terme. L'aspect de la carrosserie Tüscher les rendait difficiles à distinguer des FBW contemporains.
Les VBZ avaient tenté de revendre un grand lot de ces autobus "présélectifs" (sélection de la vitesse à la main avant le débrayage au pied) à la fin des années 70 en les repeignant en orange, clin d'oeil à la couleur recommandée par l'UST et qui ne fut appliquée que sur un seul véhicule en service aux VBZ.

From the LEGOLAND Ambassador Class.
The top moddle mosaic is another one of our Master Builders but it looks a bit like the series 3 Octan Racer.
AMTK 184 was painted into Heritage colors in early 2011. Even though it has passed here at least twice before, it managed to elude my camera until now. Here it leads the Boston section of the Lake Shore Limited past the west end of Nevens Yard in Framingham. The white shed at right holds the compressor for yard air.
In a sunny Mediterranean courtyard a lady and her young child collect oranges as their westie waits patiently.
Prompt: create a digital fine art of a child sitting on the ground, surrounded by oranges, while his mother is picking them, Westie puppy sits patiently, in an outdoor courtyard with steps leading to it, john singer Sargent–inspired illustration, vertical aspect ratio, full camera view, no watermarks
This digital fine art was created using Google Flow AI and Photoshop
The fisherman, semi-hidden by his hanging net, is beating the net with a paddle to dislodge the small fish from the net. This is scene from the floating village that migrates between Tonle Sap Lake and the Siem Reap River with the monsoon rains.

My New Year project is now underway. Studio work...lots of it. I'm using this first-processed Christmas Collectibles image to explain what will be happening. This, for the four or five who will read this.
I anticipate a large number of Christmas items will be photographed. Have already done so with a couple of dozen. I'll process each one to my own individualized standard. Then I'll add them to my photostream so that I can get them into a special album.
Most won't want to look at Christmas images in February and March. I can't upload directly to album though, so must upload to stream. This means that anyone following me will see up to five uploads at a time. Because of that I'll wait until I have quite a number of the photos completed, and then upload all at once. I'll add them to the Christmas Collectibles album, and then batch alter the date taken so that they don't sit at the top of the stream.
There is no need to interact with any of these, and I'm not soliciting comments or faves. It's just the necessary procedure to get the photos into that album for various future uses.
After the Christmas items there will be several more additional categories and types of studio photos, large numbers of each. It is just me doing what I do.
