I've been meaning to do something like this for a while now. This old abandoned building is in Launceston, Tasmania. A photographer friend of mine affectionately calls it "the bunker". So imagine my surprise when this rocket appeared! ;)

Thank you my sweet friends Have a fantastic day/night💕
My Hooded Merganser "season" wasn't as lively this last Winter as they have been in the past, but there WERE some moments. You probably know by now if they have the time (not being chased by another hoodie thief) and inclination, they give those crayfish some good shakes to snap off the legs. This shake evidently backfired and launched the crusty meal, right outathe focus plane. Of course the Hoodie made quick on the retrieve.
Right after I got this shot, this Red-lined Leafhopper launched himself into space--- (the space between the branches.... :)

Swamp rocket ready to go as soon as it is jump started.
Combo of 3 Wombo images, layered and blended in Pixelmator Pro, enhanced with PicLight and my texture.
Using the prompt word, Steampunk, leads to some fun Wombo creations. HDR and VFX styles used here.
Time to take off! Thanks for the visit and your comments!
There are not many groups that I have found to display Wombo works, so I have created one. Please be patient with me, as I have never done this before. Please check it out!

One of the great egrets at Audubon Park taking flight to find another stick for the nest! Ardea alba.
An Atlantic puffin stands on the edge of a rocky cliff at Sumburgh Head with its wings partially raised, preparing to launch off the cliff down to the water. The bird stands with its orange feet on a small grass tuft and is surrounded by blooming sea pinks. Shetland, Scotland.

Ospreys always seem highly motivated for the Christmas Bird Count on Armand Bayou. This one was ready to go right at sunrise.
This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.

A portion of the wintering population of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I love the running crane with the bit of splash.
on the Kennet and Avon canal at Bathampton, Somerset.
The folks a board were wineing and dining.
The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway in southern England with an overall length of 87 miles (140 km),[1] made up of two lengths of navigable river linked by a canal. The name is commonly used to refer to the entire length of the navigation rather than solely to the central canal section. From Bristol to Bath the waterway follows the natural course of the River Avon before the canal links it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and from there to Reading on the River Thames. In all, the waterway incorporates 105 locks.
The two river stretches were made navigable in the early 18th century, and the 57-mile (92 km) canal section was constructed between 1794 and 1810. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway. In the latter half of the 20th century the canal was restored in stages, largely by volunteers. After decades of dereliction and much restoration work, it was fully reopened in 1990. The Kennet and Avon Canal has been developed as a popular heritage tourism destination for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling, and is also important for wildlife conservation.

One of two sculptures at Hudson Yards near The Vessel. The only information that I could find was that the pieces are on display to May 17th - since I took this photo a few days later that's obviously wrong. There's also no information as to why these are here or who sponsored the project.
Happy Bench Monday

Just to reassure that I've not been completely idle of late, but just focussing on street photography as a different challenge! As a result I'm part of a street photography exhibition with 3 fellow photographers, Becky Frances, Joe O'Malley and Kevin Newman. We'll each be displaying 10 prints and for those of you who kindly visited my last exhibition, it's at the same venue, until mid-Jan 2018, but it would be great to see you at the launch, all welcome!
