In the old city of Oxenfurt, the central square once gleamed with perfect stonework, but years of heavy trade had left it scarred. Deep holes now marked the plaza where once polished stones lay, worn down by carts, feet, and time.
This year's harvest had been generous. Fields outside the city offered up golden grain in abundance, and workers hauled the crops back into town, storing them in large wooden boxes. A new supervisor, eager to impress, rushed the process. Without care or planning, he pushed the workers to move faster, stacking the boxes hastily and unevenly.
The result was a dangerous mess — tall, unstable piles, ready to fall with the slightest shift.
Life continued around them. Locals still filled the square daily, selling fruit, bread, and goods from makeshift markets set up at their doorsteps. Children played, elders shuffled carefully.

This is made for the "pick your poison" Category for the Summer Joust 2025.
The 3 Crits I used, are Overpopulation (15 or more minifigs), Unstable load, the boxes on the right that are about to collaps, and the weathered townsquare.
after more than a year inactive(due my father passing away) I can finally say I have finished a build.
50049 and 50007 zip along the Up Derby Fast towards Washwood Heath East Junction running as 0Z50 Duddeston Junction to Leicester L.I.P. The pair had headed 5Z50 and were due to drop off the train at Hams Hall but much to the surprise of the gallery at Whitacre the train continued towards Birmingham so myself and young Rob made haste to Bromford Bridge and captured both 5Z50 and 0Z50, nice.
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.

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.
It's another zoom-blur bike racing shot taken recently in West Dundee, Illinois, this time featuring women racers. The effect was created by zooming the lens during the exposure.

"Amo la fotografia e, soprattutto, amo la fotografia di strada, per questo motivo fotografo spesso nei luoghi pubblici in cui appaiono le persone.Nella maggior parte dei casi non chiedo il permesso di fotografare perché probabilmente cambierei le immagini che cerco di ottenere. Queste foto obbediscono sempre ad un intento culturale, estetico, artistico e / o documentaristico e in nessun caso hanno lo scopo di mostrare a nessuno una situazione che potrebbe lederne l'immagine, minacciare la loro dignità o ottenere un beneficio economico. Tutto questo non significa affatto che non mi interessi delle persone che appaiono nelle mie immagini, quindi se ti riconosci in una delle mie fotografie e questo ti infastidisce, devi solo farmelo sapere e la ritirerò immediatamente . Allo stesso modo se vuoi una copia della tua immagine su carta o in un formato che ti permetta di stamparla tu stesso , ovviamente è tua. Grazie."
It's amazing how fast photography is changing. I never gave HDR a thought until just under a year ago when I used my own car for my first HDR experiment on Jan.1st of this year. This photo now just happens to be my #1 most viewed photo at about 50,000 views (mostly because of you do a search for HDR it's usually the #1 or #2 most relevant photo).
And this photo is another in the series I did with my work buddy Jeff. The original Viper photo I posted is now my #1 most interesting photo of all time.
And according to my most interesting photos, the top 14 shots are all HDR shots, all taken this year. My previous #1 shot held that position since I initially posted it over 2 years ago. This was when I was at my peak of doing night-time long exposure shots. At that point, my photography was all about going out somewhere random late at night and taking long exposures at night. I also had my times doing tilt shift miniture fakes and using toy cameras for another way of looking at things as well as using textures to help enhance a photo.
What I'm getting at is that these fads come and go. Who knows what will be next? Years and years ago, improvements in photography came at the advances in use of film, and better lenses, and artificial lighting, but these came at a rate of every few years.
My next goal is to obtain and use slip-in filters to create more natural, even exposures.
I know a lot of people going back to film and understanding the original principles of what makes an out-of-the-camera photo more interesting. I think if we all strive to start there, we'll need to do a lot less enhancing to obtain Explore greatness.. or even the accolades from our peers.
Happy rainy Monday. I hope most of you have all your shopping done.
A few weeks ago I didn't feel like travelling a lot, so it seemed like a nice idea to check out my own environment.
This appeared to be a good decision. I found some barn swallow with their youngsters. It was great fun to watch the parents fly off and an on while the baby swallows cried for 'Bigger, Better, Faster, Moooooore..!'
Normally I bike around and -unlike when driving in a car- every animal runs, flies or swims away as soon as they see me and my Giant. So this time I slowly walked towards them, closer and closer and finally they were in the reach of my 300mm and...stayed there! ;)

While all the mayhem was happening this morning, a Pale Faced Rosella briefly dropped through. This little one has dropped in several times lately.
Duncan may be good. Foske is fast! How shall I put it? She cruises at extreme low altitudes most of the time. Man, she's fast! She is so fast, she overruns the general game population and then sits back to watch them catch up...gently inquiring as to their stamina and such.

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.

The low clouds on this morning were moving very fast. This is only a 61 second exposure ... in one minute the clouds had moved that much in the sky. Sometimes you can only get this motion with 3 to 4 minutes.
Nice part with the fast moving clouds, you do not have to extend the shutter all that much to get the neat view, allowing for more compositions and photos to be taken :))
