The gulls will dive at the egrets in an attempt to get them to drop the fish. The Reddish Egret was having nothing to do with that idea.
Is 37407 "Blackpool Tower" hauling the Severn Tunnel rescue train in this shot? I'm not sure. Seen here passing Coed Kernew back in 1998. Canon EOS3, Fuji Superior 200.

Gwrych Castle is not a true castle but was built between 1812 and 1822 by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh as a memorial to his mother’s ancestors. Eventually, the place fell in to ruin until an 11 year old boy saw it one day and thought it should be saved. So he founded Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust at the age of 12 and slowly it is being restored.

Cubist Idea - Every now and then my business travels allow for some downtime.
I was fortunate to find this very interesting staircase at The House of the Black Madonna, Prague, which is a Cubist building example and houses the cubist museum.
I am a sucker for these kinds of shots if I get a chance. Hope you like it.
"Releasing Ideas"
This concept has been on my mind lately. Nature can unlock the answers to our questions if we look hard enough don't you think? Composite of two photos blended in PS.
This image is a labor of love. Originally begun in 2022 and finally finished this year. It is comprised of images from 2 different telescopes, 2 different cameras, two types of binning, and 9 different exposure lengths. I had no idea how difficult it would be to marry all this data together. Finally, here it is.
Discovered in 1702 by the German astronomer Gottfried Kirch, M5 is one of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 6.7 and a location 25,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens, M5 appears as a patch of light with a pair of binoculars and is best viewed during May.
A majority of M5’s stars formed more than 12 billion years ago, but there are some unexpected newcomers on the scene, adding some vitality to this aging population.
Stars in globular clusters are believed to form in the same stellar nursery and grow old together. The most massive stars age quickly, exhausting their fuel supply in less than a million years, and end their lives in spectacular supernova explosions. This process should have left the ancient cluster M5 with only old, low-mass stars.
Yet astronomers have spotted many young, blue stars amongst the ancient stars in this cluster. Astronomers think that these laggard youngsters, called blue stragglers, were created either by collisions between stars or other stellar interactions. Such events are easy to imagine in densely populated globular clusters, in which up to a few million stars are tightly packed together. Text from NASA/Goddard

M5 V2 is perhaps slightly better. V2 used a masked stretch, which made the stars smaller but resulted in a clouded overall look. In V3 I decided to go with a more conventional stretch for better clarity.

whole concept of this shot was to portray what was going on in my head. Lately, I've been having lots of ideas floating around. All i want to do is find an empty field, sit down, and write all of them down.Please press 'L' . More of this kind of work to come ;) instagram.com/yanweitan
Macro Mondays - Contraption
I started the week by searching the house for some mechanical device to photograph, but found nothing that excited me. I then decided I would have to build my own contraption and that it should be an idea generator for MM. I know my contraption looks like a pile of junk, but use your imagination and allow me to explain a bit. I wanted to use some commonly photographed items for MM to build the device. You will see a light bulb, feather, match, die, key, paperclips, binder clips, and Scrabble tiles. I also used a key ring, wire nut, clothes pin, spring, L bracket, radiator clamp, rain jacket, Bible, and twist ties. The Bible is used as the base to provide a solid foundation and the red jacket made a nice backdrop. The light bulb represents the idea that is generated. The Key to sparking (match) a great MM idea involves some prayer (Bible) and taking a chance by rolling the dice. I usually like to inject some humor, which is represented by the feather (tickling device). The bracket, clips, clamps, ties, tiles, etc. hold everything together. Let me know if you want the complete plans for the MM Idea Generator. HMM
Theme is "keychain" which is US English for key ring (I dont think I had noticed/realised that they used a different word prior to seeing the wording of this challenge)
I carry one of these for reviving bees. It contains a vial of weak sugar syrup. Great fun to get a bumble bee going again, especially the big buff tail queens in the spring.

The paper kite, rice paper, or large tree nymph butterfly (Idea leuconoe) is known especially for its presence in butterfly greenhouses and live butterfly expositions. The paper kite is of Southeast Asian origin.

No idea where this is except foe a guess of somewhere on the Windsor-Montreal corridor. CN 6774 with a couple EMD F's and another MLW cab work a passenger job. No photographer to credit. Chuck Schwesinger collection. September 1972. Great info from Lorence Toutant!
Hi Chuck, this is Iroquois station at milepost 100.2 Kingston subdivision with a WB passenger. You can spot the letters OIS near the top of the station next to the train order mast. These kind of station are easy to spot and were built after the mainline relocalisation project in order to give space for the St Lawrence seaway project who moved the right of way a few miles north of the original location of the GTR construction who was now sitting under water.
Cornwall, Ingleside, Morrisburg and Iroquois were all built new in the late 50s on the new mainline alignment. Only Morrisburg survive so far...
Good lord! how silly of me, AGAIN too late.. but YOU know me very much.. always dark for mine.. so now take it-Tuberose and Red rose!! hey just remember- this day people will celebrate the fact you were born.. You're not getting older, you're getting better.. ;)
