One of my favourite features of the show is waiting until sundown when the traction engines light up while powering the funfair.
Big George lives with his family in Lion Park, Johannesburg, S.A.. Lion Park is a vast savannah land with many African animals living almost in the wild . Meaning, their enclosures are huge, and appropriate to their needs.
The lions of the Lion Park are taken care by vets and fed by the Lion Park programme. The fact that they do not hunt does not mean that they do not have a normal life. Their very big enclosures are part of the natural African savannah. Each lion family/pride lives in separate enclosure, because each dominant male lion is the head of his pride and he protects it even against other lions.The lions are the only big cats that form a family/pride. Each pride consists of one or more males, but the one of them is the dominant.
The Lion Park has about 85 lions!! That are NEVER bred or moved elsewhere for “canned hunting” www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jun/03/canned-huntin... !! Canned hunting is a fast-growing business in South Africa, where thousands of lions are being bred on farms to be shot by wealthy foreign trophy-hunters!! According to me , ALL these persons involved in canned hunting are sick!! ”
“Sport Hunting” is a sickness, a perversion and a danger, and should be recognized as such!!
People who get their 'amusement' from hunting and killing defenseless animals, can only be suffering from a mental disorder.
In a world with boundless opportunities for amusement, it's detestable that anyone would choose to get thrills from killing others, who ask for nothing from life but the chance to remain alive. ” Sir Roger Moore
( All these photos are taken from a protected , "caged" Savannah jeep, where I had to place my camera to shoot through the iron protection holes. Wherever the photo shows a foggy area , these are the iron protection bars of the jeep. In this splendid case, I was the caged one and not the adorable lions!)

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 !

George Street is the central thoroughfare of the First New Town of Edinburgh, planned in the 18th century by James Craig.
The street takes its name from King George III and connects St Andrew Square in the east with Charlotte Square in the west. It is located on the north side of the Old Town of Edinburgh, to the north of the Princes Street and to the south of Queen Street, running straight along the high point of a ridge.
George Street, as first proposed in 1767 and initially built, was a residential area. However in the Victorian period the houses were replaced by shops, showrooms, banks, small department stores and hotels. A number of the grander of these buildings were designed by the prominent Victorian architect David Bryce, who lived in the street.
George Street in the 21st century remains essentially a Victorian townscape, but the use of many of the commercial buildings has changed to restaurants, coffee shops and bars, with many high quality clothes shops.
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.
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!

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...
When I was sure George was indeed leaving I picked the camera up. Thank goodness for image stabilization as my adrenaline had kicked in and I was shaking. Taken at 200mm, and talk about missed opportunities I could have zoomed right in on his face...missed it, didn't even think about doing it at the time :( I uploaded this the original size so feel free to zoom in.

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 successful experiment as I got to grips with a new (to me, anyway) camera, placing it directly on the pavement shortly after a shower. I hope it captures some of the atmosphere of a winter's evening in George Street.
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.
