Installation auf der Neckarmauer fast in Sichweite seines Turms vor der Neckargasse in Tübingen zum 250. Geburtstag Hölderlins. Mit einer kleinen Überraschung in der Mitte. Soll das etwa eine Badenixe sein??
Wie man sieht, die Leute fallen über sich selber her, um Bilder zu machen... :-)

Part of an art installation on the wall along the River Neckar in front of the Neckargasse in Tübingen as part of the celebrations for the poet Friedrich Hölderlin's 250th birthday - with a small surprise in the middle of the row.
Apparently, people are falling over themselves to take pictures...

Hold me fast, hold me fast, cause I'm a hopeless wanderer - Mumford & Sons
Here's a (German) article about the project I'm incredibly proud to be part of:
70013 "Oliver Cromwell" powers past the lens on a fast vans working through Quorn & Woodhouse on a TLE charter.
I blew up a suitcase.
But that's probably not enough info.
Briefly - Tannerite is a legal binary explosive used in reactive targets for long-range shooters. When its two components are mixed, it is still stable, only detonating if struck by an object moving at 2,000fps or faster.
The charge in this video is a half-pound, the standard-sized charge. I had shot at over a dozen Tannerite targets prior to this shot, and while the explosions were loud, they weren't all that impressive. So when my neighbor gave me an old suitcase he was throwing out and I got the brilliant idea to put a Tannerite charge in there, I thought that, at best, it would simply tear a big ragged hole in the suitcase or something.
Had I actually taken a physics course in college, I probably would have had a better understanding about explosions and the expansion of gases and such. Hell - I even got CLOSER because I didn't think it'd be that bad. As you can see, this went way beyond a ragged hole in the suitcase - the whole damned thing blowed up, smacking me and my friend Jose with debris.
This was actually incredibly stupid and not something I'd repeat - at least not at such close range. We really could have gotten hurt.
That said - it's still funny as hell and I can't stop laughing about it.
Killin is a small village at the Falls of Dochart, a spectacular series of rapids, at the western end of Loch Tay.
The village makes an excellent base for walks in the surrounding mountains of Breadalbane while Loch Tay is a popular destination for both its salmon fishing and watersports. Killin sits at the edge of the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve and the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, ideal for enjoying a lovely mix of wildlife spotting, outdoor activities and walking.
The fresh paint is barely dry on the brand new scheme for the Reading and Northern's fast freight units. 5019 seen sitting here on the turntable at the steam shop north of the yard is a rebuilt SD50-2 acquired from CSXT that was blt. Mar. 1984 as Seaboard System 8550.
She wears a scheme that is more closely reminiscent of that found on the new ex NS executive F units. Sister 5018 was painted in a red and white iteration that was not favored for whatever reason and will presumably be modified into this scheme if it is universally adopted. I did get a shot of that unit earlier in the year as seen in this image:
I honestly wasn't sure I was going to like this as much as the red version or the classic green and yellow, but I dare say in person this is one good looking machine!

Die Marxloher Moschee, eine der größten Deutschlands (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DITIB-Merkez-Moschee), dahinter Schwelgern, eines der größten Hüttenwerke Deutschlands, jedenfalls das mit den höchsten Schornsteinen... de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThyssenKrupp-Stahlwerk_Schwelgern
Im Vordergrund, die Auffahrt zur A 59, in eine andere, unwichtige Stadt, fast in eine andere Welt...

The Marxloh Mosque, one of the largest in Germany (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DITIB-Merkez-Moschee), behind it Schwelgern, one of the largest smelting works in Germany, at least the one with the tallest chimneys... de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThyssenKrupp-Stahlwerk_Schwelgern
In the foreground, the slip road to the A 59 motorway, into another, unimportant town, almost into another world...
Sony 135mm 1.8 GM.
This fast moving Thunder Cloud caught up the sun much faster than I thought, so I could not reach to the spot that I wanted, I had to stop and find the best possible place. For Landscape Photography the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM is very sharp, with excellent contrast and colors.
Our Frodo loves to sit in his window perch where he can look out of three different windows at once, taking in all the sights of the bird, squirrel and chipmunk activity.
Lately Frodo has become a fast-footed feline of expert escaping! Thankfully the times he's escaped the weather has been most unpleasant and he has returned without too much time lapsing... once he realizes there are no treats, tummy rubs or nice comfy perches to sleep on.
Today was chilly, windy and very rainy, and it looks like I captured him day dreaming - most likely wondering why he keeps trying to escape when it's just so darn nice inside!
The Kuang Si (Kaung Xi) waterfalls southwest of Luang Prabang in Laos is a travertine falls where the water flows over a series of limestone ledges. During the fall monsoon season the water levels rise resulting in some great photo opportunities. This is a long exposure of one of the lower falls.

Three NS GP38-2s roar westbound through Tipton with a long consist in tow. Most, if not all of these cars are from the Nittany & Bald Eagle interchange at Tyrone, PA.

A quiet, cloudy afternoon in Tamaqua is interrupted by the passing of Reading & Northern's train NRFF, powered by five SD50s as it passes the ex-Reading station in town. This was the first time catching one R&N's SD50s in the gray "Fast Freight Service" in the lead.

A man with two crutches, a cell phone, and pile of stuffed shopping bags, hanging out on the main promenade in Riyeka, next to Zara. Sincere best wishes to all who see this.
Happy Mono Monday, Happy Bench Monday.
I’ll be traveling again mid-week to begin our planned 2020 trip to Portugal. Much more Croatian beauty to express after this rather dour start. Probably highlights of our Douro cruise will intervene for a couple of weeks.
