This shot was taken out in the Bisit Badlands of New Mexico. I was out shooting with friends in this very remote area outside of Farmington and was delighted to trek in with 5 friends and emerge with nine.

“The vampire groups in this corridor are hopelessly splintered and very likely decimated by the battle at Braila. The humans are in complete chaos, hiding in villages and being picked up by abandoned night creatures loose in the field… We enclose this corridor with all the humans in it.”
CN 2379, 2999, and 5469 are working together to muscle a 98 car U704 up the grade through the rolling landscape of Northwestern Illinois on a clear and calm Saturday morning. The ethanol loads are rolling through the "western edge" of the relatively off-the-beaten-path spot of Council Hill Station, Illinois nestled in the valley of the East Fork of the Galena River. The 1850s-era Council Hill Station general store still exists just a little out of frame to the right of this spot, which also served as the depot for the small community of Council Hill located about 2 miles to the north on the top of the ridge but at an elevation that no doubt wasn't possible for the railroad to reach when it was first surveyed through the area.
The whole climb of the former Illinois Central through this part of Jo Daviess County is full of character in it's twists and turns, clinging to the edge of the river valley as it finds it's way from the Mississippi River level to the top of the hill that is not far from near the highest elevation in Illinois at Scales Mound. It's a character I've always found hard to capture well from a ground-level view, but the drone starts to open up some possibilities of at least sort of conveying the feel and the beauty of this area.
In early September UP's Marketing Team ran a business train on the IAIS in the interest to run grain trains on the west end of the IAIS. The train dubbed that weekend as "The CyHawk Express" also ran UP and IAIS officials plus invited guests to the annual CyHawk Showdown between Iowa State and Iowa at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. UP 4533 and 4404 bring the OCS east out of Council Bluffs headed for South Amana Yard with IAIS officials and UPs marketing team on board.

Turnul Sfatului, also known as the Council Tower, is a historic tower in Sibiu, Romania. Built in the 13th century, it served as a fortification and watchtower. Now a tourist attraction, it offers panoramic views of the city.

Sterling Gardens, St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.
A gleaming blue, 7-metre-tall astronaut has been unveiled in Perth's CBD, taking pride of place outside Council House.
Designed by US artist Brendan Murphy, the sculpture called Boonji Spaceman was a donation by the artist but City of Perth took on costs of transportation and installation, believed to be between $150,000–$250,000.
The acquisition was championed by former Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas who stepped down from the council in March after being elected to state parliament.
Mr Zempilas has long championed branding Perth as the City of Light — as it was dubbed by astronaut John Glenn in 1962 when the people of Perth turned on their lights to acknowledge his mission to become the first American to orbit the earth.
It was that story and meeting Mr Zempilas that persuaded Murphy to donate one of his spacemen to Perth after the pair were introduced by gallery owner Paul Gullotti.
In most parts of the Highlands there is a very great demand for Council houses, but very few become available for relet each year. This means that, although there are thousands of households on our waiting lists (currently over 9,000) only a small number can be housed each year. There is a much greater demand for accommodation than we are able to meet and it will not be possible to house everyone who applies. Our first priority is to give houses to people in the most housing need - to families with children or to other people who may be vulnerable in some way, because of age or health, who are homeless or who live in insecure, overcrowded or substandard accommodation.
My entry to the Castle Collaboration category of the Summer Joust 2017. I built this in June, and it was originally posted by Micah because I ran out of time and had to leave on a choir tour. Micah also gets the credit for the edit, which is better than anything I could have managed. The other members of team Juggler were Hacim Bricks, Michael the Juggler and Reese EH.
The build is supposed to represent a council room carved out of a giant tree stump. Due to me running out of time, the intended bark wall turned into more of a bark border, and half of the floor is just sections of loose brick. I figured it was still worth posting though.
Sometimes when you go out on a shoot of an evening, strange things catch your eye and you end up coming home with something completely unexpected. You head down to a treasured spot as sunset approaches to take photographs of a calm summer sea and end up being distracted by a small gathering on the nearby clifftop.
I'll admit this is one of the more unusual images I've shared with you. For me it's also one of the bravest. I'm always impressed at photographers who have the confidence to stand in the middle of busy thoroughfares and point their cameras into the faces of strangers. Even with 100 yards, a sizeable ocean drop in between us and my car stationed within five seconds of brisk running I don't feel entirely comfortable at tracing a 200mm lens on them. I'm generally much more comfortable dangling over a vertical cliff edge, safe in the knowledge that the subject of my photo isn't likely to stride towards me with a menacing stance and a challenging expression in their eyes.
But there was something appealing in the story of three young people sitting on top of a lonely cliff at Portreath on a peaceful evening, just chatting away about whatever was on their minds that grabbed my attention and I decided it was an opportunity not to be missed. I was able to conceal myself behind a wall as I set my tripod up and made ready to grab a hasty shot. I know this makes me sound even weirder than I already did. In the event two hasty shots were needed, as first the figure on the right leaned forward, and then the figure on the left did the same. "Even I can work out how to blend two images like that in Photoshop," I reasoned. Lastly, a darkening of shadows to turn the subjects into silhouette, and there you have it. A happy little council on a clifftop enjoying each other's company as the dusk settles in around them.
Happy Wednesday folks.
To decide the future of the one ring Elrond calls together a council of elves, men, dwarfs and Hobbits. A fellowship of nine including Frodo the ring bearer is sent out to destroy the ring in Mordor. You have my sword, my bow and my axe. And my bricks!

Yes, say what you like but a good old glass of cold tap water is the best way to quench a thirst/nurse hangover. for the theme 'refreshments' HMM.
If I were to chose a city from Romania where I would love to live, Brasov would be the one.
It is located in the central part of the country and it is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians Mountains in Transylvania region, being the largest city in a mountain resorts area. There is a hill in the middle of the city (900m above sea level)
If you watch the Golden Stag international music festival that it's hosted every year by Brasov, you should see this building, as this is the exact place where the festival is being held.
