Uncovered Wagon in Tuba City, Arizona in 3d.
For Best view maximize the image and use red/blue glasses.
The covered wagon, also known as a prairie schooner, is a cultural icon of the American Old West.
Although covered wagons were commonly used for transporting goods within the United States, in the mid-nineteenth century thousands of Americans took them across the Great Plains from developed parts of the Midwest to places in the West such as California, Oregon, Colorado, and Montana. Overland immigrants typically used farm wagons, fitting them with five or six wooden bows that arched from side to side across the wagon bed, then stretching canvas or some other sturdy cloth over the bows, creating the cylindrical cover. Sometimes, these wagons would be as long as 15 ft (4.6 m).
Covered wagons were primarily used to transport goods. Small children, the elderly, and the sick or injured rode in them, but since the wagons had no suspension and the roads were rough, many people preferred to walk, unless they had horses to ride.
Crossing the Mississippi on the ice, 19th century
While covered wagons traveling short distances on good roads could be drawn by horses, those crossing the plains were usually drawn by a team of two or more pairs of oxen. These were driven by a teamster or drover, who walked at the left side of the team and directed the oxen with verbal commands and whipcracks. Mules were also used; they were harnessed and driven by someone sitting in the wagon seat holding the reins.
One covered wagon generally represented five people. A well-to-do family might have two or three wagons, or a group of single men traveling together might share a wagon. While crossing the plains, emigrants banded together to form wagon trains for mutual assistance and occasionally defense. The covered wagons and wagon trains were only the first to come in what would be a westward expansion driven by airplanes, rail trains, and automobiles.
Prairie schooner is a fanciful name for the covered wagon; the white canvas covers of the wagons crossing the prairies reminded some writers of the sails of a ship at sea.

Maximize your investment in high-speed continuous digital color printing. The Zero Speed Roll 40 automatically changes input rolls, thus eliminating printer stoppages for roll changes and keeping your printer running at full speed and full productivity.
Printer stoppages due to roll changeover can last up to fifteen minutes. With today’s fast printers running through a roll as quickly as one hour, percentage downtime due to roll changes can approach 25%. With the Zero Speed Splicer Roll 40, this percentage drops to zero. Significantly, the Roll 40 also virtually eliminates the lengthy paper waste associated with printer stoppages due to roll depletion.
Zero Speed Splicer Roll 40 offers a high degree of flexibility to your operation, accommodating a broad variation in paper weights in successive rolls, and even accommodating variation in successive roll widths. The web may be justified to the left, right or center, allowing the Roll 40 to work with varying digital production printers.

To maximize depth of field I used two sperate exposures with slightly different focus points and then combined them in PS. A technique called focus stacking.
Strobist Info: The main light was a YN560-II in a softbox camera left at 7 o'clock, fill light from a Strobie 130 in a softbox camera right at 4 o'clock, back lighting in the center of the flowers was a hand held YN560-II with a Honl snoot behind and below the flower. All three strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

This looks best when viewed large against a dark background, and you can view it in that enlightened manner by pressing "L" on your keyboard.
He laid his head down on a tattered coat over the spiny grate, shoeless feet nestled firmly against the cold hydrant as the sinking sun sent shadows dancing across the nation's capital city. His feet seemed to fit against the hydrant so naturally, like it was made for his feet alone. I was struck by the irony of pristine bank windows in the background, shiny new cars up and down the clean street, people hurrying past, eyes locked on the distant splendor of giant government buildings, monuments, museums and churches. Truthfully, they gazed anywhere but down. Not here anyway. Not now.
Mr. Charles (pseudonym) is one of Washington D.C.'s 5,000+ homeless (1). Nameless and invisible to most, his typical day involves shuffling across the city sidewalks looking for a shady place to rest his tired body and, if lucky, finding food and shelter. Mr. Charles became homeless after losing a job that already barely paid the bills. Rent, medical and numerous other expenses forced him on the street. No family, no friends to help. Despite his misfortune, he remains hopeful that things will turn around.
Mr. Charles is not unlike the hundreds of thousands of other Americans calling the streets their home. Despite being one of the richest nations in the world, the distribution of resources in the U.S. is remarkably lopsided. For example, the top ten percent of wealth-holders in the country own roughly seventy-two percent of the nation's wealth, the bottom fifty just one and a half (2). Poverty is becoming increasingly common. By the age of 75, fifty-nine percent of Americans will have spent at least a year below the official poverty line during adulthood. By the age of 65, two-thirds will have received welfare assistance for at least a year (3). Adding childhood experiences would increase the rates considerably. Millions struggle to make ends meet in an economic system of persistent and growing race, class and gender inequality (4).
What do such broad social divisions mean for a society - its security, its politics, its culture, its ideas, its future? Mr. Charles reminds us that underneath all the ideology, politics, and statistics lies a real human cost. He is the living, breathing collateral damage of a system that, by design (5), maximizes the bottom line of so few and wastes the human value of so many. As I snapped the last picture of our encounter and walked away from Mr. Charles forever, my own privilege was brutally clear. An outsider, I would mingle, explore, photograph, observe, then return to the quiet security of middle class life. I would leave, but Mr. Charles would remain. His impression on me would remain as well, however; not of weakness, but strength and hope. His casual defiance spoke volumes as he carved out his sidewalk bed in the middle of great abundance and contradiction. As if saying, "I am here, I am real, and I deserve my space, too." Like thousands of others, homeless, but not hopeless. Stuck, but not sunk. Down, but not out. Penniless, but certainly not worthless.

Music isn’t about being the best or being the greatest. It’s about being YOUR best, YOUR greatest, by being the best that YOU can be. No Competition...we all just do what we do said Pete Metropoulos “Rocktropolis”.

Designed to maximize the day-to-day activities of players, coaches and staff, the new Allen N. Reeves Football Complex elevates the Clemson University football program, and promotes the recruitment, training and development of student athletes with likely the most functional facility of its type in college or pro football. The building, designed by GMC's sports group and HOK, adjoins the indoor practice facility and outdoor practice fields, consolidating football operations into one complex. Clemson staff visited 36 similar faciltiies across the country and took the best parts from each and made them better. The 142,500-square-foot complex is the largest and most programmatically inclusive football-specific training facility in the nation. Knowing that this facility will serve as a home away from home for many of the users, the project provides amenities that allow the student-athletes to train, study and unwind in the same place. Features include 1.5 acres of outdoor leisure and entertainment space, state-of-the-art hydrotherapy, training, weight equipment and technology, a steam room and recovery room and a Gatorade fuel bar. The design maximizes adjacencies and functionality, with a centralized player concourse that allows coaches and athletes to move efficiently through their routines and better utilize valuable practice and training time. The concourse is connected to the lobby through a slide, bringing Coach Swinney’s focus on fun to the forefront in the design. The multiple atriums in teh facility keep the coaches on the second floor in constant contact with players on the first floor. The complex also features miniature golf, bowling, a movie theater, gaming lounge and basketball, volleyball and bocce ball courts, giving players an opportunity for some friendly competition. Compelling graphics and displays throughout the facility celebrate the team’s storied history and reflect the Clemson spirit, including a scale replica of Memorial Stadium’s famous Hill and Howard’s Rock. Of course the home of the national champions would not be complete without a prominent spot to display their trophies including the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship trophy, which sits proudly in the main atrium. The project is targeting LEED Silver certification.

MaXimiZed interior for everyone to gather in. If you have to wait to get behind this thing and ride, you better be comfortable.
In many cases space is limited. Work with Tuff Shed to maximize the use of your building. In the pictured building not an inch went to waste in this wall. This building contains a full sealed partition allowing for linen storage on one side and chemical storage on the other.

This is our last spring in Japan, by this time next year we will be back, living in Brazil. So after six years of taking pictures of sakura we decided to try something a little different for a change, with my favourite model, of course. I hope you like it ;-)
Tip: Maximize your window and see this large on black.
Details about the image: This was taken with the 135mm wide open at F2.0 creating a very shallow depth of field. The place is called "sakura dori" (cherry blossom street), located in Minoh, about 5 min walk from the station. It was about the end of sakura season, so many petals accumulated near the edge of the side walk. Helena collected those and crossed the street jumping, throwing the petals, and posing with a smile, all at the same time. I post-processed to get more vivid colors and tone-mapped in order to augment the perceived dynamic range. After that more, post processing, working the color balance, sharpening, blurring the edges of the frame a bit, etc.
