Official Roleplay Today
View allAll Photos Tagged Officials,
To get this shot, good, bad or indifferent, I laid down flat in the road, without thought or consideration, across a narrow bridge, no railings. It's official. I'm addicted. There is no hope left for me now...
I will be a Grand-Butter again!!
Today I spotted a female fluttering around the milkweed... as of tonight, I collected 83 eggs!!!!
If I hadn't seen her, I wouldn't have even checked the milkweed... it was perfect timing that I was outside this morning when she visited!
If you have room in your garden, please plant milkweed... it's the only plant the Monarch will leave her eggs and the only plant the caterpillars will eat!!
You certainly don't have to do what I do, they can take care of themselves if left outside... but their chances of survival are much less...
I was heading toward Tegel Airport to try and capture some skylight trails, when I happened upon this abandoned office chair next to the wall of this walk way. So I positioned the chair in the middle and took an LE shot as quite frankly, it reminded me of those modern Asian Ghost movies, those ones that are actually scary and well acted, unlike the Western crap we get today.
I had to reduce the contrast light considerably to take out the background, which hopefully I've done and haven't compromised the image too far, so let me know what you think. Unfortunately, directly behind the chair and up a bit, there was this big, bright red side panel of a balcony that really screwed up my composition; hopefully that is now hidden. I guess this is a bit of unexpected fun, but certainly another for the Dark City Deutschland collection!
The weekend is here my dear friend, enjoy and have a good one, so as always, thank you! :)

It is now official that 2019 has been a bonanza Painted Lady butterfly season in Britain. Butterfly Conservation uses a wide variety of recording techniques to get as broad a picture as possible of how our butterfly (and moth) species are doing. One of these is the annual Big Butterfly Count aimed very much at people who may have at least a general interest in wildlife and the environment.
Results from the Big Butterfly Count have now been collated. Top of the chart was, you guessed it, Painted Lady with a stunning 420,841 counted. This was almost 30 times greater than the PL count in the equivalent 2018 survey!
With a major change downhill in the weather forecast for this weekend, let's celebrate this rare good news wildlife story with one last 2019 look at the much loved Painted Lady butterfly.

This is the first official photo of King Autumnus "Pepo" Cucurbita. It has always been the tradition that the first official image of the new king or queen of autumn is a painting but "Pepo" I. wants to be a modern king so he asked for a photograph, and who am I to refuse a king's request? For the photo, Pepo I. proudly wore his super comfortable, velvety-soft coronation mantle that was exclusively designed for him by Kale Lagerfeld.
Since Pepo is such a modern ornamental gourd, pardon, king, he also spends much of his free time searching the internet. Most recently, he developed a keen interest in body enhancements. As a first step, he requested a second eye. Born a cyclops (he's always been fine with it and it has never impaired him whatsoever), he for once wanted to have the "stereo view" experience "just like everybody else." So I made him a second eye from modeling clay, not expecting much of a "stereo view" experience for Pepo but he's delighted about it and keeps assuring me that he "sees like I have never seen before. By the way, Silke, when was the last time you dusted that corner, if I may ask?"
Originally, I wanted to use a tiny chestnut that I had picked up in front of my house (it's a tradition to pick one up and keep it as a good luck charm) but then I saw these small ornamental gourds at the supermarket the other day and took a closer look. One of the colourful little gourds had a tiny head with one "eye" and a huge pug nose and I kind of fell in love with it. Since there also was the first kale at the Whole Foods Market, an idea formed and I decided to stick to it and try to make it work: the birth and coronation of King Pepo I.
So the autumn traditions here are quite obvious: collecting leaves, and cooking with pumpkin and kale (the latter I didn't like too much as a child because back then it was the fashion to almost cook it to oblivion). Even the modeling clay eye represents a typical at-home autumn activity: crafting.
In-camera focus stacking yielded the best results, and combining the 15 ORF files in Helicon Focus yielded a better result than the in-camera stacked final JPG which had some artifacts. Illumination: natural light from above, yellowish light from the right, and indirect, reflected light from the left.
Size info: The width of the frame is a little less than 7 cm/2, 75 inches. I went as close as possible and measured the scene before taking the photo to make sure it didn't exceed our size limit. And you've seen the tiny crown before, it is 2 cm/0,78 inches "tall".
HMM, Everyone! (I will catch up with you a little later.)

The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
As completed, the overriding exterior form of the Winter Palace's architecture, with its decoration in the form of statuary and opulent stucco work on the pediments above façades and windows, is Baroque. The exterior has remained as finished during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The principal façades, those facing the Palace Square and the Neva river, have always been accessible and visible to the public. Only the lateral façades are hidden behind granite walls, concealing a garden created during the reign of Nicholas II. The building was conceived as a town palace, rather than a private palace within a park, such as that of the French kings at Versailles.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style".

The official City Explorer Tour Trams. 2011
I think these have been replaced by hop on - hop off Double Decker red buses today.
These Trams seemed a little bit slow and may have held up the traffic flow. They didn't run on rails but had tyres and could travel anywhere.
(Perth Tram Company.)
Climb aboard a wooden replica tram that resembles the first trams to operate in Perth. Friendly drivers provide a commentary as the tram passes by historic points of interest, like Barracks Archway. The journey travels to Kings Park, with spectacular views over the city, and across the river to Burswood Resort and Casino. If you take the morning tour you can stop over at the Casino or Kings Park for no extra cost, then catch a later tram when ready.
Norfolk Southern 955 OCS train heads around the curve just before Alliance, Ohio. This train is heading to Chicago, Illinois.

Vanessa Hudgens holds onto her Gibson Flying V guitar as she stands front and center on the official poster for her upcoming flick, Bandslam.
In the flick, a high school outcast (Gaelan Connell) bonds with a popular girl (Alyson Michalka) over their shared love of music and results in them assembling a rock group that looks to win their school’s upcoming battle of the bands competition.
Bandslam hits theaters on Friday, August 14th.
