Un cantiere edile, in cittĆ , le gru, un temporale lontano, rigurgitante di lampi, ma nemmeno una goccia d'acqua.

currents flow through my skin
emotions strike deep within.
up one day, down the next
I'll stay true unlike the rest.
Never changing, loyal, and kind
I swear to be your electrical twind.

Haven't been out with the camera for a while as my number one is in for repair. Couldn't resist going down to the front last night with my spare camera for the free light show. The sheet lightening went on for about an hour, right over my hometown (Swansea) across the bay.
An intense electrical storm rolled over Kelowna, British Columbia last night. People were out with their cameras at the marina going crazy trying to capture the elusive bolt. It's all in the wrist!
Our first day in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe staying at Camp Hwange. This was later in the evening before supper. A great day to remember.
Artistic electrical junction box
Another one of these hand painted junction boxes in and around The City Beautiful downtown.
Here's another stacked image from last week that shows a house being struck numerous times. Turns out the storm was more than 40 miles away in line of sight between me and that house. Four cloud to ground strikes occurred in less than 3 minutes. This is a cropped depiction. A Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens was used.

Todays challenge for the daily shoot was, Graffiti is something you can find almost anywhere. Make an interesting photograph of some graffiti and post it.
My knees were really playing up today and walkign was quite painful, so I only did a real short walk to find todays assignment, and only took two shots.
Neither of them very colorfulor artistic but I think they meet the Graffiti assignment
This one on a Electrical panel, and I see to be looking for shadows more this week as per the shot below
MY Knees are still not to good so not sure I will be sitting at the PC for to long tonight so sorry if I dont visit your streams tonight but will catch up tomorrow
Yesterday we had a rare day out and we visited the Brisbane Powerhouse at New Farm, which in bygone times was actually the Brisbane City Council's New Farm Powerhouse that supplied power to Brisbane's long gone and longer lamented trams.
For many years it sat rusting and deteriorating, until someone with a bright idea got it accepted and it was turned into a performing arts venue. A lot of the building was torn down and the majority of the generation equipment including turbines, gensets and associated switchyard were ripped out. But the building which has had a remarkable transformation is not only a great performance space inside but still retains its bones and the odd bits and pieces including murals and also the odd unexpected humour which I will get too another time. Of course, it also has admin offices and a lot of artsy people suitably attired in black! Needless to say, we stood out as the old people who have bumbled in, just as we are and did!
It is open to the public to stroll around although this is the first time we have ever been inside despite how long it has been open. It also has lovely clean toilets (well, that's practical isn't it?), a great cafe and it sits on the Brisbane River with a fabulous outlook and is embraced by New Farm Park. It also has great shows.
I worked in the Electricity Department of the Brisbane City Council until it was morphed into a Queensland Government Board and late a Government Owned Enterprise and used to visit fellow staff in one of the outbuildings in my younger years but never got to see inside whilst the Powerhouse proper laid idle before the refurb. What a place with all that abandoned gear to have seen and indeed, taken some pictures of. But all is not lost, as I said much of its bones are still part of the new venue, rusting and/or deteriorating mysteriously for all to see and enjoy. The main performance space is in the old turbine hall. And here is just a little bit, a total unidentified electrical object or UEO. And it's not even live so if you should manage to reach out and thrust a finger in, you will live to tell the tale.
