Only one more day until children(and adults as well) from around the World are able to open their dreams and cast their joy and radiant smiles...the wait is almost over :))))
Well, a one-antennaed bandit, anyway. These voracious little warriors are covered in a tough exoskeleton to protect them, but somehow this one lost one of its sensor antennae.
This will be it on these for a while but I think I saved the best for last...or at least my favorite.
While the boys and I were playing on the beach with these I told them that we really needed to get out into the water and get a reflection shot. Dylan, my 13, practically ran into the lake even though it was NOT that warm outside and the water was pretty danged chilly. We did several of these. Since he was in the water and there was no way in the world I was going in there he had to light the steel wool himself so in a few you can see he is holding the lighter between his teeth while spinning the burning steel wool over his head. The kid has talent! ha! My nine year did a couple of these as well. They were cold, happy little campers ;)
But there are other pictures from the Thanksgiving vacation waiting to be seen so we'll give this type of playing with fire a rest...and move on to some others ;)
View this on black...it's better that way!
This instantly grabbed me because of the stark contrast between the colour of the subject and the background bokeh
With the car packed up, ready for the journey home, one final 37 departure could be had before setting off. The splendid station sign at St Bees makes for a nice focal point as 37 424 powers south with 2C40 Carlisle to Barrow.
It is late afternoon at Lake Bonney, South Australia.
I focused the lens on the footprint in the sand, took a shot, then shifted the lens up, and took another shot for the trees.
The two shots stitched together.
This Amsterdam cyclist appears to be quite concentrated on her task. But the cyclists are not the only ones who must concentrate. Pedestrians beware!
I composed this image while walking the streets of Amsterdam, a city of bridges and bikes. For those interested in the history of the bicycle in Amsterdam, further information is presented below.
Anyone who has ever tried to make their way through the centre of Amsterdam in a car knows it: the city is owned by cyclists. They hurry in swarms through the streets, unbothered by traffic rules, taking precedence whenever they want, rendering motorists powerless by their sheer numbers.
Cyclists rule in Amsterdam and great pains have been taken to accommodate them: the city is equipped with an elaborate network of cycle-paths and lanes, so safe and comfortable that even toddlers and elderly people use bikes as the easiest mode of transport.
The Dutch take this for granted; they even tend to believe these cycle-paths have existed since the beginning of time. But that is certainly not the case. There was a time, in the 1950s and 60s, when cyclists were under severe threat of being expelled from Dutch cities by the growing number of cars. Only thanks to fierce activism would Amsterdam succeed in becoming what it is, unquestionably, now: the bicycle capital of the world.
At the start of the 20th century, bikes far outnumbered cars in Dutch cities and the bicycle was considered a respectable mode of transport for men and women. But when the Dutch economy began to boom in the post-war era, more and more people were able to afford cars, and urban policymakers came to view the car as the travel mode of the future. Entire Amsterdam neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for motorised traffic. The use of bikes decreased by 6% every year, and the general idea was that bicycles would eventually disappear altogether.
All that growing traffic took its toll. The number of traffic casualties rose to a peak of 3,300 deaths in 1971. More than 400 children were killed in traffic accidents that year.This staggering loss led to protests by different action groups, the most memorable of which was Stop de Kindermoord (“stop the child murder”).
The 1970s were a great time for being angry in Holland: activism and civil disobedience were rampant. Stop de Kindermoord grew rapidly and its members held bicycle demonstrations, occupied accident blackspots, and organised special days during which streets were closed to allow children to play safely.
Stop de Kindermoord became subsidised by the Dutch government, established its headquarters in a former shop, and went on to develop ideas for safer urban planning – which eventually resulted in the woonerf: a new kind of people-friendly street with speed bumps and bends to force cars to drive very slowly.
Two years after Stop de Kindermoord was established, another group of activists founded the First Only Real Dutch Cyclists’ Union to demand more space for bicycles in the public realm – organising bike rides along dangerous stretches of road, and compiling inventories of the problems encountered by cyclists.
“First we would be arrested by the police, of course, but then the whole thing would be in the newspapers and municipal politicians would eventually listen. We had a great fighting spirit and we knew how to voice our ideas. And in the end, we would get our bicycle lane. Even in the 70s, you know, there were politicians who understood that the general focus on cars would eventually cause problems.”
As the first of eight Model 1049G Super Constellations for Lufthansa was rolled out of the Lockheed facility in Burbank, California, on 28 February 1955, company photographer Erik Miller captured the image of his shadow as well as the aircraft. The Model 1049G was the most successful version of the Super Constellation, with a total of 102 aircraft built. Often called the Super G, the Model 1049G was flown by TWA, Eastern, and Northwest domestically, and Air France, KLM, Varig, Air India, TCA, Cubana, TAP, Thai Airways, Iberia, Qantas, Avianca, and Lufthansa internationally. One Model 1049G was flown by the Hughes Tool Company as its corporate aircraft. The first Model 1049G—one of the four aircraft for Northwest—was first flown on 7 December 1954.
