Taken with a new invention I have been working on. (See below)
This is a shot of the Phoenix Convention Center taken last night from about six feet above my head.
I never thought this thing would be stable enough to do long exposures, but this shot was a one second exposure, and it's crystal clear.
As Saturn climbs higher in the night sky, the clarity improves. With only a camera for imaging, it's amazing what can now be achieved. I'm off to New York state next week, where Saturn and Jupiter will be much higher in the sky...
Another squirrel that fled from me. At a safe height, however, it paused to look down at me and scold loudly

In 2005, First Cymru received 21 Plaxton Profile-bodied Volvo B7Rs (20354-74) with what proved to be troublesome wheelchair lifts fitted within their passenger entrances.
Seven (20357-63) were allocated to Swansea Ravenhill depot to upgrade "Shuttle" Service 100 (Swansea-Sarn-Cardiff), for which they received attractive vinyls and third party sponsored SuperRear adverts.
FirstGroup was keen to bring the Greyhound brand to the United Kingdom. However, an attempt to compete against National Express between the South Coast and London failed, and the decision was taken in 2010 to transfer four of the surplus Greyhound-liveried Irizar PB-bodied Scania K114EB4s (23315-8) to First Cymru to replace four of the remaining Volvos used on the X10. The surplus Volvos all then found a new home in East Scotland.
This shot from May 2010 shows 20363 in Albert Row in Swansea when setting off for Cardiff, with one of the company's Plaxton Paragon-bodied Volvo B12Ms allocated to National Express work emerging from nearby Wellington Street, Swansea was without a Bus Station at the time - the Quadrant Bus Station closed in June 2009 and the City Bus Station opened in December 2010 - which led to all bus and coach services being dispersed to the City's streets.

On a warm May morning in 2013, the herd of goobs gathered along the NKP mainline for a 765 deadhead move were treated to an even better catch in the form of this ex-Southern GP38-2 leading L75 east towards Leipsic. After letting 234 go by them at Continental, the two EMD's split the NKP intermediates at Kieferville.
The "Manchester Wheel" circles above the crowds. Higher still is the trail of an airplane. Both are real and reflected in Selfridges (I think) windows. This is one of the few images on my photostream that I conceived beforehand, but I hadn't planned for the airplane trail (which I think adds something to the overall result)
I took quite a few variants of this, each from a slightly diffferent perspective. It seemed obvious to angle it so the line of the glass split the image exactly in two down the centre, with the airplane trails nicely joining up. But in the final analysis I much preferred this offset version.
