With the music : George Michael - One More Try
and : George Michael - Careless Whisper (Official Video)
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (1963 – 2016), known professionally as George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer, initially a member of the music duo Wham.
He was best known in the 1980s and 1990s with his style of post-disco dance-pop, with many best-selling songs such as "Last Christmas", "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", "One More Try", " Careless Whisper", and many others ....
My special homage to this unique artist that marked a entire generation, a generation who fought for freedom and the acceptance of the right to a different sexuality !

When I was quite young I had a stamp collection book and my mom saved it and at some point it was returned to me. I recently looked through it and the loose stamps and decided to photograph some of them. I was struck by this one of George Eastman who perhaps more than anyone brought photography to the average person in the form of a Brownie camera. Some details from Wikipedia are below. This stamp was issued in 1954.
In 1884 George Eastman, of Rochester, New York, developed dry gel on paper, or film, to replace the photographic plate so that a photographer no longer needed to carry boxes of plates and toxic chemicals around. In July 1888 Eastman's Kodak camera went on the market with the slogan "You press the button, we do the rest"."History- Kodak". www.kodak.com. Retrieved 4 December 2021. Now anyone could take a photograph and leave the complex parts of the process to others, and photography became available for the mass-market in 1901 with the introduction of the Kodak Brownie.
The Brownie was a series of cameras made by Eastman Kodak. Released in 1900, it introduced the snapshot to the masses. It was a basic cardboard box camera with a simple meniscus lens that took 2 1/4-inch square pictures on 117 roll film. It was conceived and marketed for sales of Kodak roll films. Because of its simple controls and initial price of $1 (equivalent to $31 in 2020) along with the low price of Kodak roll film and processing, the Brownie camera surpassed its marketing goal.
It was invented by Frank A. Brownell. The name comes from the brownies (spirits in folklore) in Palmer Cox cartoons. Over 150,000 Brownie cameras were shipped in the first year of production. An improved model, called No. 2 Brownie came in 1901, which produced larger 2-1/4 by 3-1/4 inch photos and cost $2 and was also a huge success.
Brownies were extensively marketed to children, with Kodak using them to popularise photography. They were also taken to war by soldiers. As they were ubiquitous, many iconic shots were taken on Brownies.
Union Pacific 4141 was painted to honor George HW Bush, the 41st President of the United States. The 4141 saw some freight service before being stored at North Little Rock.
While visiting HoggerMatt in Fort Worth, we caught the MHOFW-15 stopping at Tower 55 for a crew change on December 16, 2005. The UP kept this set together for quite a while between Fort Worth and Houston.
Today it was announced the former President passed away and the UP 4141 is moving to Texas, rumored to pull some sort of funeral train. Rest in Peace Mr. President.
This is my old mate George the Tri Coloured, Angel Eared Bull Terrier, taken around 1995 so he would have been about 10 years old. Inspired by Christy, thanks.
The memorial's landscape architect was Faye B. Harwell and the sculptor was Wendy M. Ross. The sculpture is one third larger than life.
The George Washington Bridge spans the Hudson River connecting New Jersey with New York City. Construction began in 1927. It was opened to the public on October 24, 1931. Both New Jersey governor Morgan Foster Larson and New York governor Franklin D. Roosevelt gave dedication speeches.
For Macro Mondays Smaller than a coin, it's George (as in Washington) meets Tiffany (as in Tiffany earring back, which my wife made me promise not to lose!). HMM!
Taken using Easy-macro lens, A Better Camera Unlocked app v 3.39, and Adobe Photoshop Express app v 2.63. All processed on my Motorola Droid Turbo.
1930s George's Dock Ventilation and Control Station for Queensway Mersey Tunnel, Liverpool Pier Head
The George's Dock Building was designed by Herbert Rowse, chief architect of the Queensway tunnel, and is the most ambitious of the six buildings built to provide ventilation for the 2.1 mile long road tunnel under the River Mersey.
The building takes the form of a square engine house, with extensions north and south rising five double-height storeys containing offices. Above the engine house is the air shaft, a square column rising to the height of the neighbouring Port of Liverpool building. The building is finished in a spare Art Deco style and faced with Portland stone. The exterior has a number of sculptures and a decorative frieze, executed by Edmund Thompson and George Capstick

A shot I took on a storm chase last summer and finally got around to processing it...
This is Lake George, an ancient lake, believed to be more than a million years old.
Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake. Lake George has in previous Ice Ages been much larger and deeper.
Currently, the lake is dry and has been for many years... I cant imagine what it would look like full of water and life...
Lake George, nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes, is a long, narrow oligotrophic lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. It lies within the upper region of the Great Appalachian Valley and drains northward into Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River drainage basin. The lake is situated along the historical natural (Amerindian) path between the valley of the Hudson River and that of the St. Lawrence, so lies on the direct land route between Albany, New York and Montreal, Canada. The lake extends about 32.2 mi (51.8 km) on a north-south axis, is quite deep, and varies from 1 to 3 miles (1.7 to 5 km) in width, presenting a significant barrier to east-west travel. Although the year-round population of the Lake George region is relatively small, the summertime population can swell to over 50,000 residents, many in the Village of Lake George region at the southern end of the lake.
Lake George drains into Lake Champlain to its north through a short stream, the La Chute River, with many falls and rapids, dropping about 230 feet (70 m) in its 3½-mile (6 km) course—virtually all of which is within the lands of Ticonderoga, New York and near the site of the famous Fort Ticonderoga. Ultimately the waters flowing via the 106-mile-long (171 km) Richelieu River empty into the St. Lawrence River downstream and northeast of Montreal and then into the North Atlantic Ocean above Nova Scotia.

A sculpture of the first president of the US. Sixty feet from head to chin. Oh, and catch you later.

This is a copy of an original bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. The original was created in George Washington’s home.
The colored rectangles on our national hero, our Republic's Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, our number one founding father, are my two cents of comment.
A five minute water taxi from Kastellorizo is well worth it. Church of St. George is adjacent to St. George Beach. It appears as though many thought quite highly of the man, naming everything in sight after him. There is a bar that adds an old world charm to it as well. I imagine it’s named St. George Bar.

A shot looking straight up with my UWA lens and head on the ground. I know similar shots have been done in the past, but I wanted my own here...
There are a couple of these inspection openings on the nature strip at the northern end of St Georges Rd. This artist now uses both of them... and, entertainingly, changes the theme quite often. A main artery into the cbd, no parking nearby... it was an experience to hear the sound of so many different car horns when I pulled over for a quick photo in the rush hour.
