The Powder Tower a main entrance into "Old Town Prague"
This was also the place where the coronation processions of Bohemian kings would enter the town. The Powder Tower thus marks the start of the Coronation or Royal Path to Prague Castle.
Construction began in 1475 and halted in 1488, probably due to the fact that the royal residence moved from the Old Town back to the Castle. Further construction works were only started in 1592.
Today’s name Powder tower has been used since the beginning of the 18th century, when the tower was used as a gun-powder storage place.
The Powder Tower is 65 m high, the observation gallery is 44 metres above ground, the spiral staircase is made of 186 stone steps.

Strobist:
Two speedlights on 1/2 power in one silver umbrella, quite high (~ 2,5 m), 45° to the model. Why did we use two speedlights on half the power instead of one on full power? Makes them faster ..., to freeze the flying colored flour. The umbrella was half-collapsed to concentrate the spotlight.
Special thanks go to Martin Piechotta for the great helpfulness:
East Peak summit at Heavenly Ski Resort yesterday. Elevation 9,591 ft., temperature 8 degrees.
If you like snow sports, this will get your juices flowing. Full on rock & roll winter here. Search and Rescue was busy chasing down lost snowboarders, trying to make it to the valley floor almost 5000 feet below.
Low southern December sun is just out of frame to the right; me being lazy, I decided to leave the blue flare in the pic.
Cheers, Steve
Chefchaouen's powder-blue buildings mirror the cloudless Moroccan sky - but religious rather than stylistic reasons are behind the design choice. Jewish teachings suggest that by dyeing thread with tekhelel (an ancient natural dye) and weaving it into prayer shawls, people would be reminded of God’s power. The memory of this tradition lives on in the regularly repainted blue buildings

Amazingly, this is the first ski photo of my wife I've shared on Flickr. There are lots of mountain bike and snowboard photos of her but this is the first photo of her on skis.
The snowboard is her first love but she's starting to be a very good skier and getting confident in the pow now, too. In fact, this photo was an Alta Ski Area Photo of the Day, last weekend. This is also a good photo of our current weather situation - the pattern has changed and we've been getting regular winter storms and the skiing has been great. So if you like powder porn, you should be seeing more in my feed.

ST44-1265 (ex-1083) ze zwartym składem wagonów 408S (Uacs) po wyładunku cementu, jako pociąg towarowy TMS 524009 relacji Lipusz - Małogoszcz, wjeżdża do stacji Kościerzyna w chimeryczne pogodowo popołudnie 8 lipca 2020 roku.
W sezonie (na kręcenie betonu) do Lipusza zawijają składy z regularną częstotliwością 1-2 razy na tydzień. Tam mała lokomotywka SKPL zabiera składy w częściach do Osławy Dąbrowy na bocznicę Prefabetu. A na gagarina przybyłego ze składem do Lipusza nierzadko czeka próżne wahadło.
Sam gagarin wtedy był niecałe dwa miesiące po "kołomnizacji" (modernizacji na czterosuwowy silnik 12CzN26/26 produkcji zakładów w Kołomnie) i był najnowszą zmodernizowaną lokomotywą.

We are buying a house (yay!) and selling ours. (Yikes!) So over the next few weeks I will be shooting pix that will go up on our real estate listing.
We have a long way to go as far as getting our stuff out to make it ready to sell. But the powder room on the middle floor is ready. So I shot that first.

When the Powder Point Bridge was originally built in 1892, it was the world's longest wooden bridge. The half mile bridge was rebuilt in 1980's and lost its place in the record book. It provides access to Duxbury Beach and the Gurnet.

Madness - Powder Blue
The birds have started singing
So can't we just stay?
Can't we just stay?
The world is giving up
And there's just me and you
Together slowly drifting into the powder blue
Into the powder blue

This is a very small quarter pound can of gold powder from the United States Bronze Powder Works. The can is dated 1923. This brilliant gold powder is actually a mixture of bronze and zinc. I thought I had a quarter pound of gold. Actually bought it for the can, wanted it for the gold but still have both! Bought in New Market, Maryland.
