Got in some flight shot practice on waterfowl and apparently was having a double vision epode when looking at the Canada Geese sitting on the pond ice. Also got a nice Wood Duck on the lawn. Terrace Heights Memorial Park, Yakima, Washington. IMG_0286
A quick stop on the way to Death Valley. Red Rocks in the foreground and Vegas just out of the picture in the distance.
Double Rose of Sharon. This one has had a rough life, for some reason every winter a thundering hoard of rabbits try to eat it. Last winter they did an exceptionally good job of it.
The Normal Theater opened in November 1937 with the Bing Crosby musical “Double or Nothing” opened the theater on Nov. 19, 1937. Tickets were 25 and 10 cents. The Streamline Moderne theater (an international style of Art Deco architecture and design that emerged in the 1930s, inspired by aerodynamic design) had an original seating capacity of 620. It was a state of the art cinema at the time which was built to "show sound movies in the best comfortable environment."
The Normal Theater was designed by architect Arthur F. Moratz. The architect's Bloomington home in Franklin Square, along with his Art Deco-style Holy Trinity Catholic Church on the north end of downtown Bloomington, are earlier posts in this McLean County series.
The original commercial operation of the Normal Theater ended in May 1991 after it had been divided into a two screen theater a few years prior. The Town of Normal purchased the theater later that year. A three year restoration effort came next, with over $1 million dollars in federal grants, donations, and tax dollars spent on restoring the theater, which included the return to a single screen. The grand re-opening was held in October 1994, with a showing of the 1952 musical "Singing' in the Rain."
For more than a quarter century, the Normal Theater has been a fully restored art deco theater and pride of the community. Black Vitrolite glass and a cream stucco exterior showcases the flashing red and green neon marquee. Inside, the restoration installed plush, coral colored seating, maroon and salmon colored walls, high-modern style aisle lights, a recessed double neon ceiling hoop through the auditorium, and a replica of the original carpet design, comprised of swirling swatches of cyan, yellow and magenta shapes.
The Normal Theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, and was the Illinois Landmarks Preservation Council’s "Preservation Project of the Year" in 1995.
The Town of Normal is the smaller of two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Located in McLean County in Central Illinois, the estimated population of Normal in 2019 was 54,469, with a metro population of 191,067.

Thought I'd share one more double rainbow pic. This rainbow dropped way below our horizon down into the Dart Valley and was nice to get this vista as a three shot panorama. Such an awesome morning of bows!
Wanda Beach, Sydney
Had a fairly quiet long weekend.. we stayed over at friends house out west. Got to Wanda Beach yesterday for a quick surf.
I'm now flying to Melbourne on Friday afternoon, which will give us some daylight to play around with.. we booked in at a caravan park on the Great Ocean Road somewhere...
If this is just another boring (double) rainbow to you, you might enjoy a version where it has been straightened...

I started taking these inverted landscapes a couple years ago but still find them difficult to do. Composing the shot is a little tricky, having to balance all the elements in the image when you're looking at it right side up but going for an upside down result. It's also hard to get just the right amount of ripple in the water to make someone look twice. If the water is too still and the reflection too perfect no one knows it's flipped. Sometimes I can't even tell on my own pictures until I zoom in. I guess it's that challenge that keeps me going back for more. That and the great swimming on hot summer days. The top of the mountain has a lot less snow than usual for early summer when this was taken but so far this winter things are looking pretty good with above average snow levels up there. There are a couple more pictures from the same lake below in the comments.
