We IceCube Winter-Overs here at South Pole have to administrate all the 200+ servers in the IceCube Lab (ICL) building. When the lights are off the server room looks almost like Christmas does ;)

This is one of my all-time favorite shots. I made this while at breakfast in a restaurant. If you view it large some of the details are amazing!
This is ice water; the color comes from the tablecloth underneath the glass.

33°C In my little corner of the world today. I’ve had a "dog pool" (kids pool) out all week. It keeps my dog cool.
This heat doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere in the near future. Phew, it’s a scorcher
Taken a few years back. I was in the Kenia Peninsula area near Seward for this one. Of course the biggest part is underneath. Alaska is so big that they can use this for ice cubes to serve the polar bear ice tea during our shameful global warming.

Depending upon the mood, eh?… I have 16 subjects all told and a couple with a couple of orientations. Just told a bud that there will be major dithering in the next few hours!! I’ll try to leave a link to the album somewhere close by when I get the possibilities narrowed down a bit!
For those who are curious, this is a cord keeper which you stick on someplace and it minds your phones power cord …. grinning bc I’m apt to be buying cute things- especially if they’re small and colorful. This measures out as about 3cms.
…….💙🆒 HMM 🆒💙
Update 6/16….. after all the objects had dried out, I decided to try the cord keeper on a piece of furniture I wasn’t totally fond of. Peeled off the backing stick it on and the cord minder stuck and held for a few hours. Don’t know if it was the ice, the water or the weight, but it gave up the ghost several hours later. I’ll try again with another one and will report back!
A simple sweet girl from a village of Chhattisagarh. This is a simple yet powerfull description of the people of Chhattisgarh..they are pure of heart and always ready to help you.
A home-made multicoloured ice cube made with food colouring. My fingers are now as multicoloured as this small block of ice. Thankfully, the drops on the floor washed out. :-) HMM!
It’s my birthday on Monday and I have four days off work to deal with the trauma of hitting the big Five O. It’s a scary prospect so there’ll be lots of alcohol taken to help me deal with it. 😂 Tonight I’m drinking Chambord and rosé Prosecco. I was looking at the cracking patterns in the ice cubes so thought I’d snap a pic and use it for today. It has rained all day today but if the weather improves tomorrow I’ll try to get an outdoor photo.
Looking Close... on Friday: Spider and/or Spider Web
MSH October 2023: Trick
Somewhere in a kitchen drawer, my parents used to have a trick plastique icecube with a fake spider inside. (There are lots of unexpected things in their kitchen drawers and everywhere in their house, like an ugly plastic chicken in the butter compartment of the fridge. Don't ask.) Anyway, they don't know where the fake icecube is, so I recreated one with a real icecube and a fake spider. Pixie was of course quite amused.
[Made it to Explore #42, Oct 22, 2009] - cool!!
Flying strawberry
I dropped an icecube to make the splash effect. The picture gives the illusion (I hope!) that the strawberry is flying!!. This time the camera was at the angle I wanted.
Strobist
Behind subject: Nikon SB28@1/32 power in Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe softbox
Camera Right: Nikon SB24@1/16 power (snooted with honeycomb). This was aimed at the strawberry.
The glass contained water & blue dye.
Strawberry gives the impression (I hope) of flying in mid-air. I cut a wire hanger and secured to a lightstand to the right of the glass. Then I "punctured" the strawberry with the business end of the wire hanger.
Triggered with Cactus v2s
The white wire hanger was then cloned out in Photoshop CS3.
I added 0.5 f-stops in Lightroom 2.4 to brighten the picture.
I used High Speed mode on my camera (Olympus E-30)
LS&M: bright field (variation)
Soooooo good, you should try it! :-)
Short recipe: Take pieces of a ripe and sweet water melon, rub them through a sieve, freeze. Drink with Prosecco.
LIGHT
Just natural backlight from our balcony door.
No reflector or so involved this time.
EXIF
Canon EOS 5D Mk III with EF 50 f/1.4 at f/1.8. 1/640 sec, ISO 100, WB on auto, JPEG.
Same icecube shot from a different angle. (I prefer this one hehe!)
It looks a lot better larger here
TGIF to all my dear Flickr friends. Since moving house several months ago, I have had very little free time and made the decision to knock our usual Friday night soiree on the head. However, I have had several requests to see the cats again, so here’s one I made earlier. Thank you all for your continued friendship, inspiration, creative commenting and your tolerance of my very 'individual' sense of humour. Take care ♡ Cheers!

Opened in 1959, Sam Jordan's, the oldest black owned bar in San Francisco, closed in November of 2019...
Sam Jordan was born in Texas...after a stint in the Navy, he moved to San Francisco in 1947, where he worked as a longshoreman...He was a light-heavyweight boxer who won the San Francisco Golden Gloves, and a local personality known as “the “Mayor of Butchertown"...He was also the first African American to run for the actual title of San Francisco mayor in 1963, finishing fourth in a field of eight...Fallen into hard times with a debt of $500,000, the bar went through a major facelift on TV's "Bar Rescue" in 2016...but it wasn't enough to battle the gentrification of the once proud working class neighborhood...
