I don't really have an explanation for this. I came across it/them/this in neighboring windows while doing a photowalk yesterday.
I'm honestly not even sure what the message is supposed to be.
Another image from my 'Birds in Flight' series. This is a Great tit defying gravity. Appologies for the excessive grain (Noise) in the image but the poor light and very high shutter speed necessary to capture the image means that high noise is inevitable. Hope you like it.

Technically the front yard, but close enough. No chance of shooting anything green today as everything is burning up in this heat wave/drought. Our plants are all dying. :(

Sometimes gravity wins the battle between the steel wheel and the steel rail, and equipment goes on the ground. That's where companies like RJ Corman come in - to put things back on the rails. Here a pair of Corman sidewinders work to re-rail a pair of Providence & Worcester locomotives in Groton, Connecticut.
Times when I just can't
Bring myself to say it loud
'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry
That is when it seems
We move in circles day to day
Twist the drama of the play to get us by
And it feels like fear
Like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait
Like nothing's wrong
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear
Like the other day
I thought you won't be coming back
I came to realize my lackluster dreams
And among the schemes
And all the tricks we try to play
Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
When it feels like fear...
Concrete and steel sweep confidently through the skies, suspended in symmetry above Humber's cold estuary waters.
Breaking the rules is what photography is all about.. Capture what the average eye fails to see on its own.
Feel free to guess what this is a picture of.. If you get it right you win a free PANDA BEAR OMG! (Humor me please)

Well, a big hello to everybody. I think this is the first time I have a picture of myself where you can at least see my face :). This is an experiment on unique perspectives and I achieved this with minimal use of photoshop editing.
I know this is a bit weird and creepy and stuff like that but I think I got exactly what I wanted here. I have been thinking of this shot for a long long time but was not sure of the location but finally when we planned to trip to Vizag, I thought this was the most perfect location. I think most of you will be able to recognize this place from my previous posts. (see comment below)
I wanted to get a shot like this with 0 photoshopping possible but I could not get a few things right so I had to be satisfied with just a tiny bit of cloning here and I think most of you will be able to guess what it is.
Have a wonderful week ahead. Cheers!

I was early in the morning and saw beautiful sunrise followed by a group of galloping Mike deers, all at the Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park.
A Blue-winged warbler defies gravity and all laws of avionics and dives after a bug. The blue-winged warbler was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, Systema Naturae, though the scientific name has changed several times.The species epithet Pinus was given by Linnaeus in 1766 but was a mistake as the original description of the species was actually based on illustrations of "pine creepers" drawn by others. The drawings depicted two different species, what we now call a pine warbler and blue-winged warbler. In 2010 the blue-winged warbler's scientific name was changed by the American Ornithologists Union to correct the error. Pine warblers retained the species name Pinus but the species epithet for blue-winged warbler was changed to cyanoptera.
Thank you for commenting and faving my photos :-)

Murphy's Haystacks, South Australia
Murphy's Haystacks are inselberg rock formations located at Mortana, between Streaky Bay and Port Kenny on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
They are of a 'tumulus' form of weathered granite outcrop. They are made of a pink, massive, coarsely equigranular rock consisting mostly of quartz and orthoclase. Their appearance may be due to a combination of erosion by underground rainwater and then by subsequent weathering after they were exposed. Most of the pillars emerge without a break from the underlying granite. Their structural base may be of orthogonal or vertically-aligned sheet jointing.
They obtained their name because a traveller in a coach saw the formation in the distance. He asked how a farmer could produce so much hay. As the farm was on a property owned by a man called Murphy, the rocks became known as Murphy's Haystacks.
The site is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

A family gathering gave me the unplanned opportunity to see these high flyers at the local skate park. They were great kids just hanging out, but man could they fly!
This is a vertical bowl and yes... they are upside down.
How many ways can I shoot a daisy... I don't know, but I'm gonna try and hit them all. Florabella textures- Patina bw and Notalgic in hot pink both 40% opacity with a blending mode of soft light. Soulful Action- primrose- 40% opacity.

I am becoming overwhelmed with the baby snails and have decided it is time for population control. My project will continue but somehow I have to limit all of the mating? Is it time for a beer party?
Something has changed within me.
Something is not the same. I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. Too late for second-guessing. Too late to go back to sleep.
It’s time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes, and leap.
I’m through accepting limits “cause someone says they’re so. Some things I cannot change
But ‘till I try, I’ll never know
It’s time to try defying gravity.
I think I’ll try defying gravity. And you can’t pull me down.
