I really liked the BP build and wanted to do things reminiscent of it. My lost BL order came today after I built this hopelessly in spite of my loss and was going to just put the volume one suit in there but now I have a proper Miles which makes me very happy.
Barbie & The Ol' Lady in the Shoe posed for me, allowing me to participate in the Macro Monday - Toy Challenge. It was fun to get out my daughter's old toys.

He titulado esta foto "Miles" porque si observáis el tamaño grande de la foto podréis ver la gran cantidad de pájaros que hay en el cielo. Quizás miles.
La foto está tomada en La Albufera de Valencia (España)

I have titled this photo "Thousands" because there are many birds in the sky, maybe thousands. You can see it in the large size of the image.

Another shot without tripod. I took this one on the same night as the last one in the stream (so still boozy and bleary eyed!) but this one is looking down the Magnificent Mile to the North - heading back to our hotel late at night.
I put the camera against the wall on the left to get this shot of the beautiful Old Water Tower - more info on that to follow - and the impressive John Hancock Centre topped with pink lights. Shame the sky is so dark but it was very late I guess. Again, no editing required on this one. I love my new camera :-)
If you like my work and wanna show it by inviting me to one of your groups, you are very welcome to do that, but please do not leave any graphic logos! I'll delete them.

With the County removing trees left and right after the storms I think I've found my next shooting location. The view is much more open than before.
The summer heat has kicked in an our silver haired boy has been wanting to be inside more. Hope you all had a great independence day!
Have a great week everyone!
A downbound ore freighter makes the turn around Whitefish Pt. (August 22, 2023), a part of the "15 more miles" needed by the 'Fitzgerald to avoid sinking almost 50 years ago. The gale sanctuary of Whitefish Bay recently saw several upbound freighters anchored to wait out a "gale of November" that came early.

I shot this image from the middle of the suspension bridge that crosses over the Yukon River, as it flows through Miles Canyon just outside of Whitehorse.
The surface of the water may look smooth, but there is a strong current and undertow that you will not survive should you be unfortunate enough to lose your step and fall in. Notice the worn paths to the right? A lot of people walk those paths with no barrier between them, and the icy water below. Back in the gold rush days - many a miner lost their lives and everything they owned traversing Miles Canyon. It is beautiful to look at, and just jammed packed full of history, but one must be very careful when visiting.
This Chichester-Miles Leopard is the second prototype of a four seat, twin-engined 'personal jet' in development since 1982. The first prototype G-BKRL flew in 1988 but after the engine manufacturer folded, this second aircraft was built using Williams FJX engines and adding other refinements including pressurisation.
G-BRNM first flew in 1997 and carried out 84 development flights. The aircraft was previously on display at the Bournemouth Aviation Museum, and was donated to the Midland Air Museum by Ian Chichester-Miles.

Lovaina (Leuven, Louvain, Löwen) es una ciudad de Bélgica, ubicada en la confluencia de los ríos Dijle y Voer. Y capital de la provincia de Brabante Flamenco, en la región de Flandes.
El principal recurso económico de la villa es la universidad, lo que hace que se le conozca desde el barroco como «ciudad de estudiantes y monjas». Y durante el año académico la mayoría de los habitantes del centro son estudiantes.
La Universidad Católica de Lovaina (KU Leuven), fundada en 1425, es una de las más antiguas del mundo, es la más grande de Bélgica y está entre las mejores del mundo. Según el ranking de Reuters, la KU Leuven es la segunda universidad más innovadora de Europa, solo superada por el Imperial College de Londres.
Lovaina es el lugar de nacimiento de varias cervezas como Stella Artois, Leuvense Tripel, Domus y Keizersberg. Y tiene varios bares que se enorgullecen de ofrecer una amplia variedad de cervezas locales e internacionales (uno de ellos presume de ofrecer más de 3.000 cervezas diferentes.
Entre sus monumentos cabe destacar la biblioteca de la universidad, incendiada durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y reconstruida con aportaciones de las universidades estadounidenses. La plaza Mayor o «Grote Markt», con un espléndido Ayuntamiento típico de la arquitectura flamenca. La «Oude Markt», o plaza vieja, centro de la noche universitaria.
Especial atención merece el beaterio o begijnhof o Beguinaje, que la Unesco declaró patrimonio de la humanidad y que es en realidad un viejo monasterio habilitado como colegio mayor de estudiantes.
La iglesia de San Pedro (1425-1500) fue acabada por Jan Keldermans y Matheus de Layens. y hay varias pinturas de los siglos XVII y XVIII, pero la más famosa es la gótica Última cena de Dirk Bouts. Aquí se encuentra la tumba del duque Enrique I de Brabante. Su torre, de 50 metros de altura, estaba pensada para alcanzar los 169 metros, pero nunca se completó, alberga un carillón. Y fue incluida en la lista de la Unesco de «Campanarios de Bélgica y Francia» en 1999.

Just got back from a bucket list trip through the South West US. Drove over 3000 miles, visiting places such as San Francisco, LA, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Page, Monument Valley, and Bryce Canyon. I didn't particularly focus on photography during the trip but was still able to take some nice pictures.
The 17 mile drive from the title comes from a, you guessed it..., a 17 mile drive along the coast of Monterey, CA.
