White-tailed Kites in a courtship exchange where the male holds the prey in his kiting position for her to grab with her talons. It's harder than it looks - she actually misses this try by a feather but he holds steady and she gets another chance. I just couldn't pass up on the light in their eyes on this one.
Do be sure and check it large with a couple of clicks.

I spent a lot of mornings and evenings to get one of this images. Although not satisfied with the cropping I had to do, but at least the image came out fine. Yeah, I know I always complain, but man, so much time spent to get a green background. Fortunately they faced in the direction of the camera.

P.S. I always wanted to do a tribute to this anime and I just never had the drive until this Lion came along. :D So thanks to his attention to detail and inspiration, this photo came together so nicely! This anime series is really one of the best out there and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Thanks to the best partner in crime:- Kai's Stream ❤
The male hands off a leaf (?) to his mate. Perhaps instead of food he is hinting at nest building :-)
The Snail Kite has to exchange the snail from his talons to his beak so he can land and eat his prize.
Another photo from inside the Exchange Bar in Leicester. I'm very much liking this lens/film combination.

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

With retail and hospitality closed and many people still working from home, this usually busy road junction was much quieter and easier to photograph when I was there last Thursday.
Usually, the difficulty here is to get your image in the gap between an endless procession of busses and cars. Now the challenge is to get a clean shot without the abundance of newly installed street furniture, cones and other clutter installed by the City of London to make the streets "Covid secure".
Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmers’ market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]

Over the summer, I did a color project photographing in a number of small towns on the Virginia/North Carolina border. For reasons I don't want to get into, I'm not sure what I'm doing with the project, if anything.
In fact, I just started to develop the shots now.
I decided to shoot the towns on Ektachrome E100S, which expired in 2002, because I had a bunch of it. I understand why I made this decision, but I'm not sure I like it now.
The color I shoot is usually vibrant and saturated due to how I dev it and the stocks I choose to shoot. At this point, Kodak has priced me out of new color. Lomography has as well.
I do have a lot of expired color left, especially in 4x5, but when I shoot through that, I might be finished with color.
This comes out of necessity, but also I never feel quite comfortable in color. I like the results, and I love it when people enjoy it. But it's never been fully me in the way that black & white can be.
Or maybe I'm just telling myself that because what choice do I have here?

Go visit your local collection of trees and ask about their exchange programme of your old carbon dioxide for fresh oxygen. A lot closer than your nearest plankton bloom.

Mormon pioneers established the town of Escalante in the early 1880's. They built many brick buildings; many still stand. The People's Exchange was constructed in 1899 and functioned as a co-op. The building as been restored and might be used as a private residence. Benches are on either side of the front door.
Happy Bench Monday!
The Lumber Exchange Building was the first skyscraper built in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, dating to 1885. It was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by Franklin B. Long and Frederick Kees and was billed as one of the first fireproof buildings in the country. It is the oldest high-rise building standing in Minneapolis, and is the oldest building outside of New York City with 12 or more floors.

I had a "party line" growing up. This was in the 80s, long after most communities had moved on from the archaic system. How ours worked was that several neighbors shared a line, though we all had different number (five digits, though seven could also be used).
When the neighbor's number was called, our phone would ring, but only a quick chime. If we picked it up, we could listen in on the conversation. This was a mostly-unspoken pastime. Everyone did it, nobody said a word (directly).
If you needed to make a call and another party was using the line, you didn't get to make the call. Again, this was in the 80s. The 1980s.
This changed in February of 1988 when the local phone company made the big switch. It wasn't to touchtone (that would still be a few more years), but to mostly private lines.
The dial tone was softer, we had to dial all seven digits. It wasn't a full switch yet, you could still call other numbers on your party line, you just had to dial the number, wait for a tick, hang up and then wait and hopefully your neighbor would be there when you picked your phone up again.
At some point the party lines disappeared - probably in the early 90s. By that time, we had moved into a new house and a fully private line and a touchtone phone were standard. At one point in my teens, I even had my own number.
