Continuing from last weekend. Also no one recommened what my next build should be, so ill have to choose i guess
WAMX 4177 continues west with the L463 through Devil's Lake Sate Park on October, 19, 2017.
What a beautiful fall day to be on the rocks and record the Wissor through the park. Was able to get 5 or 6 decent shots from the rock perch as the train slowly worked along Devil's Lake. Easy to get many different views up here with the train trundling west at 10 or less, along this former North Western mainline. Sharing a couple of these from the park on my westward chase of L463.
Issue 7 comes out this week, and it'll be a standalone issue that maybe set the stage for a solo Grey Cop series, and this is a prelude to it. The main story features Adrian going to Italy to find an assassin named the Tranquility.
Also features a little bit of inspiration from Human Revolution, Blade Runner and some related sci-fi media.
Question to all here: Who has read Wildstorm that came out this year and the ones from the 90s, and also played games from the Deus Ex series (including Human Revolution and Mankind Divided)?

Ravon continues to WOW the judges with her confidence and fierceness. She scored 18 out of 20 and received her second first call-out of this season.
Thousands of snow geese gathering to rest before continuing on their long migration to their breeding grounds in the far north. Tens of thousands were already on the lake, and as more and more flew in the remaining empty spots on the lake were quickly filled. This group had to settle for resting on a patch of ice, but they didn't seem to mind. Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, Kleinfeltersville, Pennsylvania.
She climbed down from the feeder.Then she went to the bird bath and carefully washed her tiny claws ( even between her toes) and scrubbed her face and whiskers. Then she stood at the base of the oak tree. linda yvonne was standing at the window. Caroline put her paws over her heart and sweetly asked linda yvonne to help her. Caroline's toes were getting very cold.

Continue to do the overlayering artwork creation, and this bunch concept is focus at the " missing emotion" .
Through the combination & overlayering among the dove, the tree and the water , I aim to create a emotional mood of missing someone it love.
Continuing my recent project, this is another one from Curbar edge and my first attempt at blending two exposures, not sure if I've got the results I'm looking for but practice makes perfect. Many thanks to all my friends and contacts for all your comments and advice which has really helped me greatly.

Stopped in to a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day...

Continuing the recent series from my early morning at the cottage that included both lake and road shots, this was the scene from near the house. The cottage was once a farm of sorts, and most of the family still call it the farm. I call it the cottage because saying that we're going to the farm connotes chickens and cows and people scratch their heads. And oh ... it's Friday, and there's a fence.
HDR rework of an old shot of mine. Probably the best mushroom refraction I've gotten. Still digging in my archives, as you can see.
The dew drop acts as a wide-angle lens, and because there is only one lens it inverts the light passing through it, which turns the scene upside down and reversed. Think of all the light as converging and crossing over inside the dew drop. It is not a REFLECTION. It is a REFRACTION. Reflection is when light bounces back. Refraction is when it passes through and is altered. Clearly the light here is passing through as the mushroom is behind the drop.
Check out our refraction group for lots of discussion on this topic, how-tos, examples, etc.
Continuing bird at the MLK Promenade in San Diego. Palm Warbler used to be a big nemesis bird for me, taking me a ridiculous 14 tries to get! Luckily this one was quite easy, probably due to the fact that it seems to inhabit a 20 sq ft area. Unfortunately this picture isn't that sharp... my lens seems to be doing that lately. Might need to send it in to get cleaned up.
Continuing with the posting of some previous images (missed while I gave up my Flickr pro), here is the stunning Alicia again from our second shoot back in 2020. I've now had the pleasure of working with Alicia six times and every time she bring amazing looks and poses - definitely makes my job very easy. For this shoot we had a number of outfits but I really love this low cut animal print dress on her along with her beautiful smile. Lots more to share!
Continuing my look back at some Alder Valley bus depot visits from the 1980s and early 1990s.
Here we see the Hindhead depot in January 1992. Not the best shots but hey ho.
Continuing on our trek down the brand new section of McIngvale Rd. in Hernando, looking left we see the intersection where the now orphaned part of McIngvale will start. It looks nearly complete from here, but will have to be grafted onto the actual old section of road.

while walking around at longwood, this colorful one caught my eye because it looks like while the stamens are all playing around in a circle, one of them stops and smiles at the camera. what do you think?
speaking of which, while thinking a lot about my style and how i can improve my photography this year, i came across this very interesting article by darwin wiggett that talks about style and vision development. after reading this article, i think i'm gonna continue on my path of shooting anything and everything (instead of just sticking to one subject, like landscapes) to further improve my skills and see where i go this year. :)
Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a stop in Tubac, AZ. This is stage 3 of 9. This is a place I plan on revisiting.
I toured the Presidio of Tubac and the Museum. As I turned a corner in the Museum, I was pleasantly surprised to see this Tallit (Jewish Prayer Shawl). This is a very nice and ornate example. Jews played important roles in the development of the State of Arizona.

Southern Arizona Adventure 2024
The rock continued on like a never ending stream rounding bend after bend. I would look up occasionally to the mountains around us and off in the distance and realise how far we have yet to go; in my mind thinking that our end goal, The Nuns Veil, would be looking down over all those ranges that now tower over us.
It was a sobering though, but for the most part my time was consumed focusing on each step and making sure I'm heading in the most direct and efficient path through the rock maze.
The three of us wandered between the rocks at times all in a line snaking up the stream and at other times we would split, each of us thinking we had found the most efficient path through the rock ahead only to find that we would all converge almost every time at the same spot. Never the less we continued on in this fashion.
It was a constant decision making process and nothing like following a well trodden path where the mind is able to wander off to far away places. Here it was a constant considering of whether to take the more direct rougher path of the less direct smoother path. Not one of life's bigger decisions but in a marathon mind game it all counts.
De Bijenkorf (literally, "the beehive"[1]) is a chain of high-end department stores in the Netherlands It was founded by Simon Philip Goudsmit (1845–1889).starting as a small haberdashery shop at 132 Nieuwendijk, one of Amsterdam's oldest streets. Initially limited to yarn and ribbons and employing a staff of four, the stock expanded gradually. After the death of Goudsmit in 1889, Goudsmit's widow expanded the business with the help of a cousin, Arthur Isaac, and her son Alfred, eventually purchasing adjacent buildings. In 1909, these connecting shops were replaced by a new building.
The surface fog continues to linger on the water as the rising sun makes the new leaves glow. As pretty as it gets if you ask me. Can you see the two Canada geese?
Photo was taken just after sunrise, Saturday, May 2, 2009 at Gray's Lake Park, Des Moines, Iowa.

Today is a special day.
First up, it’s the 4 year birthday of my photoblog, www.murphyz.co.uk. 4 years ago today I started posting images there, and after a month of daily posting I cut back to Monday thru Friday of posting a new image, so just 5 per week instead of 7. That has continued throughout. Through busy schedules, illness, travel and various other distractions, I have somehow managed to post an image without fail during the whole of that period.
I think that’s pretty awesome.
I've learnt a lot in the past 4 years, and improved greatly. I've met some amazing people, and made some great friends. I've also changed as a person. From someone who never used to like to travel, I've started to do a lot more of that. 4 years ago when I started the blog I had visited 5 foreign countries; by the time I finish the trip I'm currently on that total will be 34 countries…and that’s due to photography.
However, it’s now at an end. As the title of this post suggests, I will not…indeed I can not…continue to do the same. I’m not sure I’m learning anything through posting daily. I’m no longer finding that I am enjoying it in the same way as I used to either. Sure, I love being out there and taking photos, I love processing them, and I love to share them – however I can do all of that without having to post daily. There were too many times last year when I felt I had to post just for the sake of posting, and my heart wasn’t in those particular images. There’s one thing for creating something and sharing it because you want to, but it’s another thing when you are just going through the motions and creating something because you feel you have to. Quality suffers as a result.
I also want to free up more time to do other things. Work takes up a large portion of my life, and much of my ‘spare’ time in the past year has been travelling. In between those and trying to maintain some sort of social life I had tried to fit in photography and daily posting of images. That doesn’t leave time for much else, and there are lots of projects I wish to work on. If I can free up the hours I spend on processing and apply these elsewhere, I think that would be a great thing.
It’s not the end completely. I will still be posting images, they just won’t be daily any more. Chances are, if you follow me on the social network sites instead of the blog itself, then you may not notice any difference as I don’t post all of my images on sites other than my blog. However, I can’t guarantee when I’m posting. It won’t be daily, it may not even be weekly or monthly. I guess it just depends on how I feel, what I’m up to, where I go, and those kinds of things.
In one way it will be sad to stop. Part of me thinks ‘give it another year’ as 5 years seems like a better number to end on. However, as I’m typing this I’m feeling pretty pleased by it.
For the next 10 days I’m going to be spending time in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand – so the chances are these will be the next images you see from me once I’ve returned.
See you soon.

Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a stop in Tubac, AZ. This is stage 3 of 9. This is a place I plan on revisiting.
This is a Hudson Hornet displayed outside the Old Presidio Traders store on Tubac Road.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Hornet
The Hudson Hornet is a full-size car manufactured by Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan from 1951 until 1954, when Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson merged to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). Hudson automobiles continued to be marketed under the Hudson brand name through the 1957 model year.
The first-generation Hudson Hornets featured a functional "step-down" design with dropped floor pan and a chassis with a lower center of gravity than contemporary vehicles that helped the car handle well — an advantage for racing.[1] The Hornet's lower and sleeker look was accentuated by streamlined styling, sometimes called "ponton" styling.
Hudson was the first automobile manufacturer to get involved in stock car racing.[12] The Hornet "dominated stock car racing in the early-1950s, when stock car racers actually raced stock cars."[7]

Southern Arizona Adventure 2024,
My walk in Old Town continues. It is one of the most attractive tourist locations in Stockholm, so there are cafés and restaurants everywhere.

Awful quality, but couldn't bring myself to delete it : ) This Snowy Owl, seen way off down the road, decided to take off just when I clicked. I like my owls to be sitting still - I know most people want in-flight shots of birds, especially owls. Taken at Focal Length (35mm format) - 1200 mm, and then cropped. I love those mighty wings.
Yesterday, 14 January 2017, I drove to Fish Creek Park to meet with others to go east of the city, looking for birds. Everywhere looked so pretty down by the river when I arrived, with everything covered in frost and a thick layer of mist rising from the water.
I think there were about 8 cars in convoy, as we headed eastward, out of the city. For much of the day, birding was extremely slow, especially as we were not seeing any owls : ) As the day wore on, several cars returned to the city.
The first owl to be seen was a Great Horned Owl, perched in a row of trees alongside the road. It was so well hidden by a tangle of thin twigs and branches, making it impossible to photograph, but still a treat to see.
Eventually, we saw our first Snowy Owl at 2:30 pm, perched on a very distant fence post. A second Snowy was seen 15 to 20 minutes later, again very, very distant. Then, shortly before the trip ended, the friends in the car in which I was travelling, decided to go back to a certain area to see if we could see any Short-eared Owls. On the way there, we spotted another Snowy Owl (seen in this photo), on a power pole way, way down the road. Managed to get a quick couple of very distant shots before it flew off to hunt. I had found no Snowy Owls or Short-eared Owls the previous afternoon, when I had gone there on my own. This time, we spotted two Short-eared Owls, perched far, far away along a fence line. Useless for photos, though.
Thanks so much for driving the whole day, Carolyn - greatly appreciated by all of us! So glad you wanted to stay a bit longer than the actual trip, as we had a few lucky sightings, even if they were all very distant. A beautiful, sunny day to be out, too, and thankfully the deep-freeze had just ended.
Thanks so much, Terry, for organizing this trip! It always makes for a very enjoyable day out. Nice to see a few other birds, too, including Horned Larks and Snow Buntings.
Long-legged Marsh Glider (Trithemis pallidinervis) Male
The male and female have similar marking. However, the face of male is metallic purple but rather yellow white in female. The side of thorax and the basal half of femora of first pair of legs are brownish in male. In female all these parts are bright yellow.
And as usual, the males have thinner abdomen because they need not have to lay eggs. :)
