"There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world; but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs. "
- 1 Timothy 6:6-10.
This was today's first reading at Matins, and it prompted fresh reflection given the turmoil in the financial markets.

Carrocería/Bodywork: Castrosua Magnus E
Chassis: MAN CO 19.360
Lote/Batch info: 2/2 - 15 total (1676-1690)
Matricula/Plate: 8372-KGJ
Longitud/Length: 12m
Servicio/Service: 2018 - En curso/Ongoing
Info (SP): En 2016 introdujeron las primeras unidades de 12 metros con motorización MAN y configuración interurbana. La empresa volvería a comprar 15 mas en 2018 y hasta ahora continuan todos de servicio.
Info (EN): In 2016 Global introduced the first 12m long units powered by MAN and with an intercity configuration. 15 more would be purchased in 2018 and to this date all of them remain in service.
Flota/Fleet: Global Salcai Utinsa (1573)
Carrocería/Bodywork: Castrosua Magnus E
Chassis: Scania K400IB
Lote/Batch info: 1/3 - 15 total (1563-1577)
Matricula/Plate: 3926-HNS
Longitud/Length: 15m
Servicio/Service: 2013 - En curso/Ongoing
Info (SP): La combinación Scania con la carrocería Castrosua siempre fue la combinación de la que la compañía mas se podia fiar, y con el lanzamiento del nuevo Magnus E en 2010 la empresa encargo 15 unidades de 15 metros de largo que llevan prestando servicio desde 2013. Le seguiría otra remesa de 15 unidades mas en 2020 y 7 mas en 2022.
Info (EN): The combination of a Scania engine and a Castrosua body has been one which Global always could trust, and which the launch of the Magnus E in 2010 the company ordered 15 15m long vehicles which have been on the road since 2013. These would be followed by another 15 more in 2020 and 7 in 2022.
It looks like 1334 was the vehicle used for RU7A in 2016. The Scania K114s were fairly bullet-proof so a fairly obvious choice for being well away from base. It would visit all seven islands during the trip. It was imaged leaving Faro bus station on 15th March 2015 already vinyled up for the assignment. It was working service 30 to Las Palmas and had sustained some light panel damage to the lower side. (d13-1012f)

You probably thought I was done. This shot seems similar to the solar Flares shot but looks like an alien planet. Yeah, an alien planet that just got a shot from a photon torpedo from Kirk's Enterprise. Could be that this was the Earth when the moon was blasted and dredged out. I HAD to work on this one; I like it. I like the flare that seems to be erupting from the surface of the planet. Apparently there was less motion but some shakes as the fireworks erupted. What day is it? What day is it? ...It's the Fourth of July!
It has been three years since Phil and I enjoyed the Frogmont fireworks when we got a spot on the hill. This time I parked over at Golden Ponds and walked over to Roger's Grove to be the closet to the launch site. Longmont bagged fireworks in the forest fire year. I got stuck some distance across Hover for last year. I was determined to get a lot closer this year. After switching to hand holding long exposures for the carney and Christmas lights, I had great luck so I had that in mind this year. I started out just after 7:00 in the evening but I only managed one of the last two spots at the park.
This is like a box of chonklits; you never know what you gits. After slipping this into Photoshop, I adjusted for the exact perspective for better presentation. The fine coloration was really untouched. I tried to maximize the light streaks. I didn't even need to jamb hell out of color balance and pump the saturations. I left them untouched.
This shot is clearly zoomed even though the EXIF relates 70mm. That must be logged at the end of an exposure. The zoom effect increases at the perimeter of frame and the jiggles were milder at wide angles but because I got tight, lights were kept out of wide shots. I got a lot closer. I did a zoom along with intentional jiggles AND movement to add to the action. I am going to try as many as I can snag. Reality is highly overrated.
I never have finished my previous color lights or rose garden experiments. I will take the opportunity to try out more tricks before the next fair rides. I am still not out of snaps of other subjects but I hope my breadth has expanded. I did vewwy, vewwy wittle warping and editing, for me at least, to present these the way I wanted. I have learned to slow the camera down even further to three seconds this time but I boosted the lens setting to f:/22. Three seconds is about enough to accomplish a wide array of tricks if prepared and prepanned so to speak. Of course this digital experimentation is cheap. I had fun shooting all of these and they were a breeze to edit! I get mostly muted colors in the ag settings I have shot, so I revel in JUST COLORS. And this title DOES have a nice touch for the actual scene, don't you think? I spent hours giving this stuff titles.

Big question... then I saw this in London earlier today
