I know this is not the best evening flight shot but for the Nikon Coolpix B700 it is as good as it gets, the sun has set, aperture is set to 5.6 and the ISO 3200 to squeeze out a 160 shutter speed, Today the Inspire Me Thursday goes to this little camera. The geese are waiting for that last light to leave and fly to roost on the river. I know they are about to leave out, they are swimming to formation, they are cackling to each other, they are raising and flapping, they are honking in excitement then boom they take flight all in a group.
Yes indeed, Autumn is a feast of color, shapes and beauty. So much to do as a photographer in this season, it truly is an inspiration. I keep remember what my photographer teacher tells me once in a while, "don't let color fool you, you need light too to have a good photograph". Of course it has to be the appropriate light, no too much, not too little...
I've been absent of Flickr for a while taking care house renovations, trips and more. I missed you all, and hope that all of you are doing well.
Have a fantastic season, and for the ones that celebrate Halloween, have a great time, and be safe, most of all...
Somehow Fall brings peace and serenity, take a look at this, and enjoy this awesome song...

I enjoy nature photography the most, since I love the outdoors and long hiking trips. Macro photography is a true passion for me, since I get to watch a miniature world that opens without limits, before the camera makes the funny sound.
Graphic design is another way to express myself. I love reinventing a photo that I have seen in different ways. Sometimes, I use my own textures to do so.

The church of Ingjaldshóll sits atop a hill overlooking Snæfellsjökull wreathed in clouds here, the higher slopes barely visible to the left of the steeple. Ingjaldshóll is the oldest concrete chapel in Iceland (1903), although there are references to a church at this site that date back to at least 1377.
Snæfellsjökull (1,446 m; 4,744 ft) is a relatively young volcano (700,000 years old), with the last eruption around 1800 years ago. The mountain is famous from Jules Verne's book "Journey to the Center of the Earth" where the portal was found on Snæfellsjökull.
Merry Christmas / Gleðileg jól to all- Peace on Earth, good will to all people

Taken in Moncton, NB, Canada on 28 May 2017.
Summer is fading away. This spot was filled with beautiful, golden light all around when the northbound dinner train would pass through earlier in the summer. A small amount of light is present tonight, illuminating Mass Coastal 2007 with the dinner train like a spotlight. Enjoy the last bit of summer, as winter will be here before you know it.
The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live

Passu is a small village on the Karakoram Highway, beside the Hunza River, some 15 kilometers from Gulmit, the Tehsil headquarters of Gojal in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, and about 150 km upriver from Gilgit. It lies very near the tongue of the Passu Glacier, and just south of the tongue of the Batura Glacier. The latter is the fifth longest non-polar glacier in the world at 56 km and reaches very near to the highway. The people are Wakhi and speak the Wakhi Language. Religiously they are Ismaili, a sect of Shia Islam.
Tupopdan, 6,106 metres (20,033 ft), also known as "Passu Cones" or "Passu Cathedral", lies to the north of the village; it is the most photographed peak of the region.Also nearby are the high peaks of Pasu Sar, Shispare Sar, and Batura.
"What is that?"
"Coffee or life as my mother sometimes calls it."
"Well it sure stinks!"
"Yes and I hear my mother say life stinks sometimes."
"So why does she drink it?"
"Because she says it gives her life."
"Where is her life going?"
"She says work sucks the life from her, aunt Carol sucks the life from her, her kids often suck the life from her and sometimes I hear her say 'life sucks'."
"Wow, I guess it works 'cause she is still alive. So why do you have a cup?"
"I figure if I feel pretty much alive and have all my parts still to myself that maybe coffee will give me super powers and then I can go around and save all of the adults from having the life sucked out of them."
"What if it tastes gross?"
"We'll come up with something else. Maybe eat more spinach."
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen with my eyes!
Shimmering in silky tones I discovered these, a mix if white and pink I had NEVER seen before!
The petals look 'waxy' but feel silky soft!
The peony was originally introduced as medicine.
In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed. In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
THANKS for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

Here is an image I took on my last trip to Yosemite. I am going back there again in the morning to hang around for a few days as the weather forecast is perfect and there should still be some fall color left. I am sorry I wouldn't be able to comment on your images until I get back.
This is a Sagebrush Sparrow, mostly found east of California, but it does look very much like a Bell's Sparrow. Another birder found it in advance of the annual Carrizo Plain Christmas bird count, and it stuck around for count day, for which I'm grateful
This is my entry to the Postcard Mail Art Exhibition at the Birmingham Zine Festival.
The festival is happening from the 10th-12th September with a zine fair being held on the 11th. It should be a cool and crafty weekend, so if you're in the area it's well worth checking out. I'll be mooching about at some point I'm sure.
And if you've entered something to the Postcard Exhibition too then you might just get this in the post!
Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.
At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.
On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.
How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.
Best enjoyed 'large'.
A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.
This is the east window, designed by Charles Eamer Kempe. A crucifixion scene, it has the Virgin on one side and St John on the other. It was dedicated to Rev. Alexander Fownes Luttrell, rector of the parish, who died in 1888. Irritatingly out of focus is this charming row of angels at the top.
This is one stretch of the bamboo forest, part of the Pipiwai Trail to Waimoku Falls near Hana, Maui.
When the wind picks up, the bamboo sways and makes a fascinating sound.

Fort Lauderdale station is an inter-city rail station located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is served by Brightline, which connects Miami, West Palm Beach, and Orlando International Airport. The station is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on NW 2nd Avenue between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street, adjacent to the Broward County Transit's Central Terminal.
Construction for the station began in October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex consists of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot-long (240 m), 35-foot-wide (11 m) island platform for the trains. The station is a modern-style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse, echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects, and was completed in January 2018.

This is a focus stacked image using Helicon software. The subject was visibly moving while the sequence of images was obtained. I was quite surprised with the result. Very little touch up was required.
Back to our three day weekend in Christchurch...
Arriving back at our Motel from our trip across The Canterbury Plains to Springfield and Darfield, this 1971 Buick Riviera was shimmering in the late afternoon sun on the forecourt of the motel...
Beautifully prepared and presented with an eye-catching paint job, this Classic would probably fetch NZ$20,000 to NZ$25,000 on the New Zealand market...
Sadly, however, there was nothing to suggest that a For Sale sign was about to be placed in the windscreen...
So Christie, and all you other Classic Car lovers: all you can do is dream...
Thanks so much for visiting my Site, and thanks especially for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment; it's always nice to hear from you...!
(Left (or Right!) click the Mouse to view Large; click again to return to normal).
This is a bit of a cheat, well kind of. It's a picture of two parts, both shot at the same time, same place just needing totally different exposures. If I metered for the hay truck the sky became totally washed out, which wasn't what I was seeing.
My justification is that this is what I saw if not what the camera saw - and besides I shouldn't need to justify a nice image, so I won't. So shut up then…err okay!
I got Lego Dimensions and the portal pack and it is an amazing game! Batman in Springfield, Chel in the old west, Awesome!
After I played that for a while I got back into portal, and passed the first one in a few hours, so decided to make this little guy because the one that comes with the Portal pack is way too big.
Please comment if you favorite, and let me know what you think of Dimensions!

Carthage College is a private college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. It enrolls 2,600 full-time and 200 part-time students.
Carthage awards bachelor's degrees with majors in more than 40 subject areas and master's degrees in three areas. Carthage has 150 faculty. It is an affiliate of the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium.
Carthage College was founded in Hillsboro, Illinois, by Lutheran pioneers in education, and chartered by the Illinois General Assembly on January 22, 1847. Originally known as The Literary and Theological Institute of the Lutheran Church in the Far West, its name was soon shortened to Lutheran College and known locally as Hillsboro College. With a two-person faculty and 79 students, Hillsboro promised "a course of study designed to be thorough and practical, and to embrace all the branches of learning, usually pursued in the best academies and colleges".
In 1852, the college moved to Springfield, Illinois, and assumed the name of Illinois State University. During this period, Abraham Lincoln served briefly on the Board of Trustees from 1860 to 1861, while his son Robert Todd Lincoln was a student in Illinois State University's preparatory academy from 1853 to 1859. Illinois State University's enrollment dwindled during the Civil War and closed in 1868. In 1870, several faculty reestablished the college in the rural west-central city of Carthage, Illinois, where the college acquired its current name.
After years of financial challenges, shifts in Lutheran synodical support, and searches for a suitable location, Carthage's board of trustees voted unanimously in 1957 to open a campus in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The lakeshore campus was dedicated on October 14, 1962.
By 1962, the college launched an era of growth. The next decade brought a period of continuous expansion. Enrollment increased fivefold, endowment tripled, and physical assets increased 600 percent. In Fall 1995, Carthage enrolled 1,527 full-time students, setting a new record. Intensive national searches have built a teaching-oriented faculty holding Ph.D.s from major graduate programs across the country. Since 2001, the college has invested more than $130 million in new construction, major renovations and technological acquisition.

This is not a crop. I was fortunate to approach this bird seated on a low limb and get a good picture before he flew away.
Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge is located seven miles west of the city of Boynton Beach in Palm Beach County, Florida. The refuge was established in 1951 under the authority of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act and is managed through a license agreement between the South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In total, the refuge includes 145,800 acres of northern Everglades habitat.

This is one of my favourite roses(yes,I have many) which grows in my front garden. It is very disease & aphid resistant, my specimum is at least 20 years old & produces a wonderful display throughout the summer months. I like the subtle blend of colours as every rose is slightly different- definitely recommended.
Camogli is a fishing village and tourist resort located on the west side of the peninsula of Portofino, on the Golfo Paradiso at the Riviera di Levante, in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, Liguria, northern Italy. As of 31 December 2011 its population was of 5,455. The name Camogli is of disputed but ancient origins. Camogli is one of the largest part of the Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino, and a part of the Portofino Marine Protected Area.
In the late Middle Ages Camogli was a considerable seaport. In its heyday, its fleet consisted of hundreds of Tall Ships, and it was called the "city of a thousand white sails". In 1798 the city hosted a large contingent of Napoleon's fleet, which was then beaten in Egyptian waters of the Nile by Admiral Nelson. A prestigious naval college, Cristoforo Colombo, was founded in Camogli in 1874.
In 1880 the former fishing village had (in a population of 12,000) 500 registered ship captains. Camogli now lives mainly from tourism and is known for its colorful houses that line the beach. The house colors once helped the fishermen of Camogli find the way back to their port.

"How green is my valley?"
Corry taking in the rural beauty of the countryside and enjoying the wide angle view on Poynings during our walk along/ from the Devil's Dyke. The views continued to be stunning, with Fulking village in the distance.
A legendary beauty spot on the South Downs:
Devil’s Dyke, just five miles north of Brighton, offers stunning panoramas, a record breaking valley, a curious history and England’s most colourful habitat.
At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. Legend has it that the Devil dug this chasm to drown the parishioners of the Weald. On the other hand, scientists believe it was formed naturally just over 10,000 years ago in the last ice age.
When John Constable described the panorama from Devil’s Dyke as 'the grandest view in the world', he wasn’t wrong, but there is so much more to discover here than just a beautiful view.
This area is Natioanl Trust.
We did one of the walks and started from the Devil's Dyke Pub.
NATIONAL TRUST WALKS- DEVIL'S DYKE
From my trip to the UK: Visited Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large sub-Saharan African bovine. There are five subspecies that are recognized as valid by most authorities:
Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the nominotypical subspecies, as well as the largest, found in Southern and East Africa.
S. c. nanus, the forest buffalo, is the smallest subspecies, common in forest areas of Central and West Africa
S. c. brachyceros, the Sudan buffalo, a smaller version of the Cape buffalo, found in the drier, northern areas of Central and West Africa.
S. c. aequinoctialis, the Nile Buffalo, sometimes considered identical to the Sudan buffalo, found in the drier, northern areas of East and Central Africa.
S. c. mathewsi, the mountain buffalo, a disputed subspecies from the Virunga Mountains in Central Africa.
The adult African buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature: they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield across the top of the head, referred to as a boss.
The African buffalo is more closely related to other buffalo species than it is to other bovids such as American bison or domestic cattle, with its closest living relative being the Asian water buffalo. Its unpredictable temperament may be part of the reason that the African buffalo has never been domesticated, which would also explain why the African buffalo has no domesticated descendants, unlike the wild yak and wild water buffalo which are the ancestors of the domestic yak and water buffalo. Natural predators of adult African buffaloes include lions, African wild dogs, spotted hyenas, and Nile crocodiles. As one of the Big Five game animals, the Cape buffalo is a sought-after trophy in hunting.
The African buffalo is a very robust species. Its shoulder height can range from 1.0 to 1.7 m (3.3 to 5.6 ft) and its head-and-body length can range from 1.7 to 3.4 m (5.6 to 11.2 ft). The tail can range from 70 to 110 cm (28 to 43 in) long. Compared with other large bovids, it has a long but stocky body (the body length can exceed the wild water buffalo, which is heavier and taller) and short but thickset legs, resulting in a relatively short standing height. Cape buffaloes weigh 425 to 870 kg (937 to 1,918 lb) (males weigh about 100 kg (220 lb) more than females). In comparison, African forest buffaloes, at 250 to 450 kg (600 to 1,000 lb), are only half that size. Its head is carried low; its top is located below the backline. The front hooves of the buffalo are wider than the rear, which is associated with the need to support the weight of the front part of the body, which is heavier and more powerful than the back.
Other than humans, African buffaloes have few predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and killing) lions. Lions kill and eat buffaloes regularly, and in some regions, the buffaloes are the lions' primary prey. It often takes several lions to bring down a single adult buffalo, and the entire pride may join in the hunt. R_48461
This is Zaanse Schans. I visited this area (about 15 minutes north of Amsterdam) on the last night of my trip. It was one of the main things that I absolutely needed to see before I went home. The moment I arrived, I knew I had made a good decision. :)
This was the last photo I took at Zaanse Schans. Had to get one from this point of view one more time before I left.
Explored. :)
This is a special message from Chevron and Muppet Sam the American Eagle for those weirdos Andy & Mike of the Yes Men.
Chevron recently rolled out their ridiculous new "We Agree" advertising campaign. And they were immediately punk'd by political pranksters The Yes Men.
Now the Yes Men have put out a call for more spoofs, mash-ups and remixes of Chevron's print ads and TV commercials. This is one of my contributions.
Find out more and join the fun here:

And these are the real ads. Chevron must think we're all stupid:

Love is Colorful
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Love is colorful
In its true simplicity
With its inside pull
Always more to be
Like a cloudless sky
In the never ending
Reaching high near by
With its color blending
Love is for all
Always true and new
Summer’s winter fall
As they both come thru
Every freshly take
That never stays for long
In its happy wake
Of a summer song
Love is all of this
Never ending glow
Mystic light in bliss
In its evening flow
Rising skies dawn
With their moments give
Where feelings are drawn
And in heart shall live
This is part of a community project under construction. For now i made 9 buildings. My goal is to get 12 to 15. For now i will do lower house and some street ornaments and vehicles.

...is all it takes to get this view at the otherwise quite unscenic Pine Junction, where the action is heavy but the angles are not.
For those not from around here, Pine Junction (though not much of a physical junction anymore) is a very popular spot for rail enthusiasts around Northwest Indiana. Located at the end of Clark Road in Gary, both the NS and CSX's busy eastward corridors out of Chicago have crossings at grade, and the CN's extremely busy ex. EJ&E Kirk Yard always has something moving in and/or out of it. But the underdog of the all of the lines off of Clark is the former EJ&E City Track. Traffic is slim, but interesting. The only two moves you can realistically catch are the South Shore's AF2 Kirk Interchange turn, and both the loaded and unloaded CSX Coke Express trains.
Coke Express, you might ask? Those of you that pay even the slightest attention to my uploads will know that steel mill rails are, by far, my favorite. I'm very lucky to live where I do - right in the center of the "industrial megaplex that never sleeps". While most of my steel mill adventures have led me to Cleveland Cliffs' Indiana Harbor Works, I have never once focused on Gary Works - owned by US Steel. As of late I've taken a huge interest in it, as far less people (myself included) follow what goes in and out of it: a new railroading puzzle to solve, and (hopefully) more interesting trains to start following!
The first I decided on were the CSX Coke Express trains. These K182 and K183 trains run (essentially) daily, between US Steel's Gary Works and the company's Clairton Coke Works near Pittsburgh, and serve the obvious purpose - delivering coke for Gary to use in their steel production. I won't go in to too many specifics, as like B09, the Short Line and several other interesting steel mill trains, I plan on making a new series following these trains...
So, back to my initial statement. A three minute walk off of Clark Road along the City Track leads you into DNR-protected dune - a landform that is another thing unique to the place I call home. The peace and tranquility is broken as CSX K183, the empty Coke Express bound for Clairton, PA for reloading, begins it's journey. Despite starting in CN territory, a CSX crew has assembled this train and is running it.
