This is from that Houston vacation. Driving by on the tour bus and I saw the fence ..) The place is massive. The place covers 6 blocks.

Since opening in October 2003, Toyota Center has set a new standard for sports and entertainment, becoming one of the premier live entertainment venues in the nation. Laid over the span of six city blocks, Toyota Center is home to the NBA’s Houston Rockets. Toyota Center also plays host to the nation’s top concerts and touring shows.
Happy Fence Friday
HFF!!
Orange is not a common fall color in the American west, but does occur here and there. It's always a delight to see it. This aspen grove was near North Lake.

“They are wrong who say that love is blind. On the contrary, nothing - not even the smallest detail - escapes the eyes; one sees everything in the loved one, notices everything; but melts it all into one flame with the great and simple: I love you.”
I treated my wife this morning for breakfast somewhere in Makati. I was fascinated by the table set up and clicked away. Took some shots of the wifey too and I intend to post one during her birthday, 3 weeks from now. Cheers everyone!
For better appreciation, I invite you to see this Large and in Black. Please click here.
This is an extraordinary minimalist image of the massive Gullfoss Waterfalls; however, i cannot take total credit since i got assistance from the Workshop Pro who was giving me a live demo on how to use the AV and live view features of the Mark IV to provide finer adjustments to the lighting.
Winter is here…
I got soaked!

A Parasitic Jaeger is seen in flight with two small fish in its bill — whether it obtained them itself or by theft from another bird is unknown. It was thrilling to watch the action as several of these members of the Skuas family took passes at various gulls and terns, and made twisting maneuvers when they located a potential ‘donor.’ The interactions took place off Cape Merry near the town of Churchill in the northern part of the Canadian province of Manitoba. [This species is called Arctic Skua in the Old World.]
This is the view we see from our holiday home window in Powys Mid Wales!
Thank you for the visits comment's and favourites my friends...

She is 10 weeks now) A heart on paws. While examining her, I felt one of her front paws must have been broken at one point and healed like that, a bit outward. I will see later if it is in any way painful or keeping her from normal activities.
Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Eighteen days old, this little beauty is about six weeks younger than the colt, shown previously. She is such a little lady! Look at her eyelashes!
She is very sweet and wants to be hugged and scratched. She is playful and funny, and is growing into a beautiful wee girl.
Her mother also appears in my photo stream - “Ride On”, and if the new wee filly is anything like her, she’ll grow up to be a huge, gentle Black Clydesdale.
A lovely wee foal, here, she is in the foal paddock...It’s been too hot to have her out in full sun, all day, so my friends turn her and her mother out when the sun goes down and take them back to the stable in the morning, before the heat builds up.

OR IS IT??? It's hard to believe that I took this shot only 20 minutes after the Twilight Zone shot. This is in the opposite direction and the fog had burned off significantly.

Macro Mondays #InsideElectronics
7DWF: Anything Goes
Height of the frame: 5,4 cm / 2,1 inches
In the year 2112, Starship Cygnus X-1, Rush category, the flagship of the X-Cans fleet, silently orbits planet Samba on an Amazing Journey through the Musical Fidelity Universe. It is on a five-year mission to explore new musical worlds, to seek out new sounds no woman or man has ever heard before...
The subject was a rather "simple" one, because the only easily accessible "Inside Electronics" parts I had were these old tubes that used to be inside of my headphone amplifier. They are made of glass (of course) so you can see what's inside of them; making it a "double peek", if you like - an inside view of something that used to be inside of an electronic device ;-). I always wanted to use these tubes for a photo. The idea was to make it appear like a spaceship. Ever since the new tubes were installed, the amplifier sounds crappy (so I don't use it anymore; but it's 20 years old, so it's probably time for a new one...). I wasn't aware that the type of tubes can make such a difference in sound...
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Das Universum der Musik... Unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2112. Dies ist das Raumschiff Cygnus X-1, Rush-Klasse, Flagschiff der X-Cans-Flotte. Lautlos umrundet es den Planeten Samba auf einer fünfjährigen "Amazing Journey" durch das "Musical Fidelity" Universum. Viele Klangjahre von der Erde entfernt erforscht es neue musikalische Welten, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gehört hat...
Um nicht etwas aufschrauben und dabei womöglich beschädigen zu müssen (oder den elektrischen Schlag schlechthin zu bekommen), habe ich hier alte Röhren aus meinem Kopfhörer-Verstärker genommen, die ich schon immer mal für ein Foto verwenden wollte. Ein "doppelter Einblick" ins Innere der Elektronik, da die Röhren durch ihren Glasmantel sowohl Einblick in ihr eigenes Inneres erlauben als auch zuvor im Innern eines elektrischen Geräts verbaut waren. Dummerweise klingt der Verstärker nach dem Wechsel der Röhren gar nicht mehr gut (ich hätte nie gedacht, dass die Art der Röhre solch einen Einfluss auf den Klang hat), aber er ist auch schon 20 Jahre alt; vielleicht Zeit für etwas Neues...
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Juli-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

MRL 256 and BNSF 1902 switch cars in Laurel, MT on an RCO job at the east end of the yard.
After the MRL takeover, BNSF power has started making more appearances on yard jobs and locals throughout the former MRL system. While the takeover is unfortunate, it has brought in some interesting BNSF motive power. Pairs like this are now common in Laurel for their BNSF counterparts RCO capabilities.
The noisy miner is a bird in the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae, and is endemic to eastern and southeastern Australia. This miner is a grey bird, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye, and white tips on the tail feathers.
The Noisy Miner birds also love to feed on our Grevillea bush. While they are native to Australia, they chase most of the smaller birds away, so they are not my favourite birds.
After 2 days of 41 C temps (night time temps didn't go below 29 C), tomorrow is supposed to be around 26 C. 41 C forecast for Tuesday. Tomorrow is the first official day of Summer and if the recent heat is any indication, it will be a long hot Summer.
The flowers in my photo from yesterday are all burnt off from the heat and I am hoping that if I cut them back, they will flower again.
The Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, sharp pointed bill, and long, rounded tail. Male birds are dark brownish black with glossy black upperwings, streaked and spotted white, silver-grey and brown. The strongly kinked neck has a white or pale brown stripe from the bill to where the neck kinks and the breast is chestnut brown. Females and immatures are grey-brown above, pale grey to white below, with a white neck stripe that is less distinct in young birds. The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water.
This is a close-up B&W photo of air bubble patterns in the river ice. The crystalline ice bubbles look like the gelatinous spheres of developing amphibian life forms.

Here I am in the city of Barcelona trying to capture a somewhat interesting street scene, it seems that this man was looking for or waiting for someone who did not arrive or could not see...anyone out there?
Have a happy day!
Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire is one of the most visited places of the National Trust. There is always somebody ready to tell you what goes on. Though there are proper places to eat, you can also do it al fresco, like these school children here. Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at approx. F11.
This is a close-up photo of the texture of the bark of a birch tree. I see a pareidolia face in this image, just to the left of center. It must be a dryad, the mythical nature spirit of the tree.
This is the last mult-panel panorama I have to share. Maybe I'll take more at some point. They're fun, but quite a time-suck.
This is a 4-panel version of a 3-panel pano I did at the same time. This one has no edits between photos.
It's so strange to see the two shiprocks together though. In real life you don't quite get this view.
All I can really say about these is that they're harder than they look. Not much harder though. With a little pre-thought and some planning, you can pull it off.

AMSTERDAM -The “Stopera” is a building complex in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, housing both the city hall of Amsterdam and the Dutch National Opera & Ballet, the principal opera house in Amsterdam that is home of Dutch National Opera, Dutch National Ballet and Holland Symfonia. The building was designed by architect Cees Dam and Wilhelm Holzbauer.
The name "Stopera" is a portmanteau of stadhuis (Dutch: "city hall") and opera.

The green waves now follow the green wall.
This is the second photo from the Rolling Hills location in Moravia, Czech Republic.
At the same time, this is my absolute favorite photo from the entire tour. If I had returned home after three days with just this photo, I would have been completely satisfied (of course I'm still happy that that's not the case).
This picture shows a slightly wider view of the hills behind the line of trees. Because of this, and because of the more intense "light and shadow play", it has a completely different dynamic than the version I showed you last week.
My wish as a photographer is to create at least one photo every month, which I really like. With this photo here, I have definitely achieved this target for April.
Nach der grünen Wand folgen nun die grünen Wellen.
Dies ist das zweite Foto von der Location "Rollende Hügel" in Mähren in der Tschechischen Republik.
Gleichzeitig ist dies mein absolutes Lieblingsbild von der gesamten Tour. Währe ich nach drei Tagen nur mit diesem Foto zurück nach Hause gekommen, wäre ich voll zufrieden gewesen (ich freue mich natürlich trotzdem, dass dem nicht so ist).
Dieses Bild zeigt einen etwas weiteren Blick auf die Hügel hinter der Baumreihe. Dadurch, und wegen der intensiveren "Licht und Schatten Spiele" hat es eine völlig andere Dynamik als die Version, die ich Euch letzte Woche gezeigt habe.
Mein Wunsch als Fotograf ist es jeden Monat mindestens ein Foto hinzubekommen, was mir richtig gut gefällt. Mit dieser Aufnahme hier, habe ich dieses Soll für den April in jedem Fall geschafft.
