Singapore National Day Parade 2025

(9th August 2025)

 

It looks like someone is working on the pier down at Dick's Lobster in Harpswell. What an amazing place to live and work.

I have so many pictures of my roses that I have forgotten when this was taken.. Right now they are sleeping so enjoy the color when there isn't very much...

Bei der Zersetzung von organischem Material am Grund des Teiches entsteht Methan. Dieses steigt auf und entweicht im Normalfall in die Atmosphäre. Zur Zeit ist das nicht möglich, da eine dicke Eisschicht den Teich bedeckt. So verfängt sich das Gas in kleinen Bläschen im immer dicker werdenden Eis und erzeugt fast wie Skulpturen anmutende Gebilde.

The falls are located just North of Dahlonega, GA in the Chattahoochee National Forest. I had a great time photographing the Falls in the morning with several friends. If you make it to this location the only warning is: be very careful, the rocks may look dry but are still extremely slippery.

I've witnessed a steady progression of technology in my lifetime. Things that seemed like pure fantasy when I was a kid are now commonplace. One of the most revolutionary of them all has got to be the smartphone. An extraordinary amount of capability that literally fits the palm of my hand. It's easy to take all of this for granted, but I can still recall a time when storm chasing was done almost entirely by intuition and guided by luck. Now I'm able to pull top a near real time Doppler radar display pinpointing the exact location and intensity of storms. It's so much easier to see what's going on around me and help steer me in the right direction. On this particular day I wasn't even storm chasing but merely driving home. The Doppler showed storms in the vicinity and some very heavy precipitation. This was confirmed by my own visual observation as my drive transitioned from bright sun to ominous dark clouds. About five miles on I found myself back in partial sun as my route took me beneath the boundary line of the storm. It was then I began catching glimpses of this monstrous wedge cloud through the passing trees. I had seen the bright red splotches on the Doppler display, but that didn't prepare me for the visceral impact of this. At that moment I drove out into the open over a local reservoir. There the cloud formation was fully revealed. I pulled over and ran from my car to the edge of the causeway. The storm was like a living being; swirling and circulating; constantly changing shape; spitting lighting bolts and creating gusty surface winds. I shot a few normal frames with the iPhone but couldn't quite capture a sense for the scale. I punched up panoramic mode and this is the resulting image. The same technological marvel that revealed the storm provided the means to document it (and later disseminate the image). And order a pizza. Just amazing.

This is one of the roses along the driveway.. This one and the Mardi Gras are doing well but the other 3 not so good.. This pic is an oldie moldy that I found that I had processed years ago.. I'm not sure I could even do this now... You do the drips with one of Alien Skin's plugins..

Dick Murphy Park on Tyee Spit behind the Discovery Harbour Shopping Centre in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada, is a pleasant place to stroll.

Here's another version of the Dick Tracy camera, made by Seymour Products of Chicago.

There were three versions made. The most common one has a black faceplate with a silver band around its inner and outer perimeters. Less common is the version with a red faceplate, also with silver bands.

The one pictured here is much harder to find than the other two, and I believe it's the only "Chicago Cluster" camera without a silver band on its faceplate. Of the three Dick Tracy cameras, I think this is the coolest one.

Oddly, Seymour also spelled their name "Seymore" - even within the family of Dick Tracy cameras.

Singapore National Day Parade 2025

(9th August 2025)

Spoilt for choice of titles here; Grave Robber, Highway Robbery, Dandy Highwayman, Essex Boy, Fallen Hero, etc, etc.

 

The truth of it was he wasn’t from York, he wasn’t the dashing outlaw of legend and he didn’t own a horse called Black Bess!

 

Dick Turpin was tried and executed in the city and his grave can be seen in an otherwise unremarkable graveyard.

 

Born in Essex, Turpin was a member of the violent Gregory Gang, becoming a highwayman when they split up. Having shot and killed a man who attempted to capture him he fled to Yorkshire. He stole horses in Lincolnshire and returned with them to Brough to sell, a trade which was exposed while he was in Beverley House of Correction having shot his landlord’s cockerel. He gave his name as John Palmer.

 

He was moved to York Castle, from where he wrote to his brother asking for help. His brother refused to pay the sixpence due on the letter and it was returned to the local post office – where Turpin’s old schoolmaster recognised his handwriting. His identity was revealed and he was sentenced to death.

 

At his hanging at Tyburn (Knavesmire, York), Turpin hired five professional mourners to follow him up the scaffold and he put on a show for the large crowd.

 

His body was dug up by a labourer and taken to the garden of a surgeon, who paid for corpses for illegal medical dissection. York people discovered what had happened and descended in an angry mob on the surgeon’s house, and Turpin was laid to rest for good. The doctor and the labourer were arrested and fined.

 

Turpin became a legend after his death. His story became linked in print with a legendary ride from London to York to establish an alibi, a tale previously attributed to the highwayman William Nevison. This fictional version was further established when it was included in an 1834 bestseller called Rockwood, in which the author Harrison Ainsworth added a new twist: that Turpin’s horse, Black Bess, expired at York after the record-breaking ride. None of this was true.

 

Not the original gravestone either, a local dog walker told me that her friend engraved this new stone twenty years back, then got a bill from the Council for disturbing the grave; Highway Robbery indeed!

This is one of the roses in my front yard.. I plan to replace a couple next spring but this one I want to keep.. Happy Sliders Sunday, Everybody!!

One of my morning shots of the rose, Dick Clark...

I wanted to find an image of me looking smartly dressed and I see I was certainly trying hard that day in 2017 and maybe it's a good choice for Christmas as I almost look like I'm appearing in Panto as Dick Whittington in that short dress and boots.

A cluster of spring blue dicks blossoms.

 

These beautiful – but oddly-named — wildflowers are all over the place in the San Francisco Bay Area during the spring months. They first appear during that magical period when the tall grasses are intensely green from winter rains, and then they stick around as the hills begin to turn brown or, as we like to say in California, “golden.” While I see these flowers every season, this was a banner year for them.

 

I often find individual blossoms or small groups blooming at the end of long, swaying stems. I like to photograph them from the side, often with some appropriate foliage background. But this group was so large and positioned low enough that I could photograph straight down into this nature bouquet, with its flowers in varying shades of blue and splayed out in all directions.

This complete new designed Packard range was styled by Richard 'Dick' Teague (US, 1923-1991). The Packard Four Hundred was related to the Patrician and Caribbean.

For model year 1955 the old pre-war L8 engine was left behind and a modern V8 was introduced.

New for model year 1955 was the wraparound panoramic windscreen on a Packard mass production car.

A special feature on this Four Hundred was the standard air conditioning (note the transparant plastic tubes on the parcel shelf of the car).

 

In 1954 the Packard Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan, merged with Studebaker Corporation, South Bend, Indiana, to form Studebaker-Packard Corporation, South Bend.

 

5360 cc V8 petrol engine.

Performance: 260 bhp.

2157 kg.

Production Packard Patrician series: 1951-June 1956.
