Your thoughts?? Yesterday one of my Flickr friends raises an interesting question whether or not I should have moved the blue recycle bin out of my shooting scene (see image below). It was an intentional decision on my part to leave the blue recycle bin in the photo. My reason’s included 1) I liked the blue yellow colour match, 2) that triangle created by the bin-bikes-yellow building provided a leading line to the colourful building and 3) it was garbage day and in my street photography, I strive to present things as they really were.
For interest, and as a good Photoshop learning exercise, I tried to remove the bin from the image and see how it looked. It was a very challenging exercise and clearly I have to work on my PS skills more. However, I am curious as to your thoughts on whether the image is better with or without the blue bin and why. Thanks.
Thanks Lisbeth for sugggestion.
Adrienne gathered a few things, having no idea what might be needed or for how long. She pulled on her sweatshirt, her mind still swimming with unanswered questions.
“Who are they—the men that are after me… us?”
Kayla met her gaze, her expression serious. “I’ll explain everything soon. But they’re not men. They only look that way so they can be among humans can hide what they really are. They can look any way they like”
Adrienne swallowed hard.
“Then… what are they?”
Kayla hesitated, just for a moment. “They’re descendants of the Earth’s original inhabitants. In their true form, they’re reptilian—very dangerous, cunning, and completely ruthless.” She exhaled sharply. “They want the power the VDD gives us, but the device doesn’t work for them. They need a jumper—like us—to operate it.”
Adrienne’s pulse quickened. “And you said I was ‘one of us.’ What does that mean?”
Kayla’s focus remained locked on the window, scanning the street outside. “Forget everything you think you know about history and the story of mankind. Our ancestors arrived on earth millions of years ago—long before recorded history. You’re living in the fourth great civilization. But the reptilians… they control almost everything again.”
“You, I, are both are of the ancient bloodline of the Jahri.”, continued Kayla. “Only people like us can access the power of the VDD”.
Before Adrienne could process the revelation, both girls sensed danger. Then the sudden creak of the back door shattered the moment.
Both girls spun around.
“They’re here!” Kayla hissed. “Time to jump. Take my hand—just like before!”
And in an instant, they vanished.

Elle rassemble les corps de 2208 soldats, dont 577 inconnus. La bataille de Morhange dont il est question s'est déroulée du 19 au 20 août 1914 et fit plus de 8000 morts.
It was late at night, at the end of another Saturday night demonstration in Jerusalem.
The policemen were evacuating the last young and enthusiastic protestors (this time without any violence).
She sat at the main junction were the demonstration took place; probably a bit tired.
*
Many argue these demonstrations are 'the best show in town'; I tend to agree. A photographer can return from them with a cam full of photos.
I can't recall any other 'photographic workshop' in Israel, in which I took so many photos :- )
Will the demonstrations have any effect?
This is the million Dollars question, no one knows to answer.
At least they are a great fun :- )

Well, some people may question me how i take those interesting images?.....
I often reply them with a laugh, just my pure Luck!
No, Not really so effectively, it fundamentally fall into my basic photography instinct Plus the game of patient waiting.
Waiting for the right moment will stand you higher chance succeding if you are also patient enough to expect what u didn't expect to turn out as primarily we can never able to control their subtle mind, but the rewards of patient to wait for the right moment to strike would be fruitful after plugging out some great courages tries..
Candid street photography is definitely exciting and super challenging, people been suspicously shot would be intimidated by your move after they discover your intention.
However, don't be intimidated and quit if you kept really a distance away with them as they might express the moment of time correctly suitable for the next golden call shot of the day.
My little secret to share, when i spotted what interest me no matter the distance is too far away, i will first subtly hit few triggle trial shots quietly to test unawareness is possible, then i will advance quickly closer to my target and compose shot that well fits with another few shots all in silent mode and auto ISO. if the angle wasn't right i would quickly recompose decisively as too many rowdy movement may alarm your target quickly and thing you don't want start fall apart wrongly. The vital elements is see the correct light and shadow fall and follow the direction of lights to position one-selves to capture them with as many possible good shots as require
The helmet was made with a brickarms US helmet then the mask was sculpted, the chest armour was also sculpted. The jacket was made with e-tape then the whole fig was painted, I’m pretty happy that I was able to paint the fist on his armour. Please tell me you favorite part about the fig and any questions should be answered!
Johnny Thunder just found a big hole in the ground. Is it a tunnel where pirates hid their treasure? Is it a secret passage to ancient castle? Is it someone's home, sweet home? Very giant someone, probably dangerous...
Oh wow, I took this picture one year ago, and yesterday was the last visit to that area to took the things I forgot and/or left intentionally on the day of moving. *sigh* I loved this place, I wish I wouldn't put off some of my plans to explore the area more. Two and a half years and never found spare money for a hot chocolate in the cafe across the street?! Two and a half years, but I found the most beautiful route in the forest only when I already knew I have to leave?! Two and a half years, but never walked my PC Lego car on those beautiful pavements?! Two and a half years, and still no picture of my giant T-Rex with a fence, because I never had time?! Oh, come on, I am a dictionary definition of delayed life syndrome!
Anyway, I saw that hole in the forest. I think a mouse lives there, I hope it wasn't too stressed out because a curious human shined a flashlight in the hallway. xD Well, their tunnels are long and complicated, so it probably didn't even saw the light, but it probably heard my footsteps above.
I wanted to show Johnny's face, but the soil was too soft and it was tricky enough to place him and avoid falling down...
P.S.
IMPORTANT QUESTION -
Do you see my pictures in your activity feed or in the groups only? Or do you check my profile specifically (like I do with others)?
It seems there is an issue with my pictures in the feeds since July, I contacted the support and they did something, I need to know if the issue is resolved or is it still there. Thanks in advance!
Je n'ai pas boudé mon plaisir de photographier sous toutes les coutures cette fresque murale sur le thème de la Commune de Paris, rue de la ferme Savy (où furent situées les dernières barricades), au bas du parc de Belleville à Paris. Une fresque réalisée à l'occasion des 150 ans de la Commune par l'artiste Question Mark (projet des Amies et Amis de la Commune)

Одно из самых популярных мест Санкт-Петербурга это музей квартира Достоевского. Этот район города до сих пор обладает магией экзистенциальности автора . И всегда найдётся тот вопрос ,который может поставить в тупик даже профессионального экскурсовода! В этот раз дух Федора Михайловича коснулся и фотографа…
"Хорошая фотография это знать где стоять» Ансель Адамс
——————
One of the most popular places in St. Petersburg is the museum-apartment of Dostoevsky. In this area of the city, the magic of the author's existentialism has been preserved. And there is always a question that can baffle even a professional guide! This time the spirit of Fyodor Mikhailovich touched the photographer too...
.
Ansel Adams was quoted as saying, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.”
The questions continue...
You might remember this little hole in a fence post at St Cyrus. A few weeks ago, I'd noticed a couple of male leafcutter bees on these posts, so on another visit I looked for nest holes in the posts, and was thrilled to find one occupied hole, but was then surprised to see that it was occupied not by a bee, but by a digger wasp (`Flick' back about 10 images in my stream). Since then, when I've been at St Cyrus, I've keenly looked in on the digger wasp as I passed; it was there every day I checked. Yesterday, after a break of about 6 days, I think, I was back and checked the post to find not the digger wasp but a cute bee in the same hole! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, so this is a quick snap on my phone.
I'm curious about what's gone on here; could they both be using the same hole?; did the wasp move out naturally, and then the bee moved in?; did the bee evict the wasp?; is one a parasite?; are they both nesting?; was one or both using it as shelter?
I'm also not sure what type of bee this is. The leafcutters I saw (a few photos in my recent uploads) have now been kindly IDd by the expert Steven Falk, as one of the rarer leafcutters, the black-headed leafcutter bee (Megachile circumcincta). This could be a female (according to his book, they usually nest in sandy ground, but have also been reported to nest in wood), but that's a wild guess.
So much to learn :D
This is one of my favorite butterfly photos due to its rare appearance. I have only seen this species in our garden in 2014, 2015, and 2019. Now, it seems that even the most common butterflies are rare to see.
A very weird unmarked sculpture in the Columbia Slough Wildlife Refuge, in Portland OR, shot with my holga and filtered through photoshop.
I have a question for any experts out there. Anyone with knowledge of lightning and atmospherics, and also anyone with working knowledge of camera sensors.
I took these two shots yesterday, more in hope than anything, Being lucky enough to have the Sony RX10 that shoots at 24 frames per second, I pointed at the sky across the street and held the shutter for a second. I got lucky and managed these two shots. Not very exciting looking, being daylight lightning shots, but I am intrigued by the difference in the two shots. They are consecutive frames 1/24th of a second apart. Bolt 1 shows up the brightest, and actually shows the lightning in its ground to air phase and the bolt is only half completed. Lightning bolt 2 shows the completed bolt all the way to the cloud, but is fading in brightness. The bolt itself was very close with barely a second elapsing between flash and the window rattling thunderclap!
My puzzle is the first shot that shows a purple halo around the upward end of the lightning, and a corresponding colour shift across the image in the sky below the top of the lightning.
I'd love to know is this just an issue with the sensor and its response to a sudden intense flash, or is it atmospheric?
My guess is the sensor, but I'd love to hear other opinions or experiences.
These two shots are both cropped heavily from the left half of the wide angle image, hence the slight distortion in the vertical lines of the house.

Meet Eliza
Was in DC a few days ago to photograph an elopement at the Constitution Gardens. Since I was early to scout the location and set-up, was walking around when I noticed Eliza walking with her friend ( Alex) around the landmarks, a camera in hand and carrying some gear. I had seen them earlier too when I was parking my car but they seemed busy and I had other things on my mind then. But seeing them again gave me a second chance and I went ahead and made my request to this striking young lady. She obliged but I could sense some hesitancy - primarily because they were a rush and didn't have a lot of time. I promised to these pictures in a few minutes; honestly, I did think that we could have done even better if we had a little more time but sometimes you got to roll with what you have. I found a spot with some good open shade and we quickly shot a few quick clicks after judging the light.
Even as I clicked had a few questions for the lady - turns out Eliza hails from Ecuador and is a student at George Washington University studying political science. She and her friends were out with a camera and gear as they were working on an art project. One quality she loves about herself is her curiosity. She is happiest when she is learning new things. Her favorite memories - are anything that involves the beach which she is really fond of.
As photogenic and almost childlike as she was with really beautiful eyes ( angelic is the word that first came to mind) what I liked most about her (and this is just an impression n my few minutes of interaction) was a sense of determination and almost steely focus she conveyed with her gaze - kind of a resolute strength beneath her soft exterior façade.
Thank you Eliza for your time and trust - - special thanks to Alex for her patience. It was wonderful doing these pictures. All the very best in all that you do a- was indeed great making your acquaintance. If you stop by and like your pics please feel free to contact me for hi-resolution copies of the same.

Our planet is need of balance. Balance of our use of it, balance of our dependence on it, balance of exploitation of it. Balance of its wildlife, its resources, its land, its sea, its air. It's all a question of balance.

"any questions?" Defender of the Realm. if you've ever met a mockingbird, you know what this is about. he's "da man"... ;)
lots of folks don't appreciate this fine feathered fellow, even folks that call themselves birders and claim to luv the members of Class Aves. these guys are birds that everyone needs to cultivate an appreciation for, 'cuz they're among a small handful of bird species that can adapt and survive in stupid human landscapes. their tenacious defense of their hime turf is admirable at the very least. they're just being mockingbirds, and they're pretty damn good at it. ;)
Back in 2014 it was a bit easier to get thru the bramble and have a closer look at this place. Photo was taken thru a window though .... didn't trust walking on the rotten floor boards. Seeing the interior conjures up even more questions/stories.
Not much question, Turkey Vultures are so ugly that only their mothers could appreciate them...and then only if eyesight was failing. BUT...When these big birds are soaring on the updrafts, their flight is incomparably beautiful.
And they do provide a VERY useful ecology clean up function.
Well actually it’s not a fungus at all, meet Badass* utricularis who is a rather fetching Slime mold.
Slime moulds are a group of single-celled amoeba-like organisms that hunt bacteria and form a commune to reproduce. They then produce plasmodia (the caramel sauce) which can grow to quite a large size. When food supplies become scarce they produce the fruiting bodies that we see here and release spores which hatch into amoeba, starting the cycle all over again.
They are not part of the fungi kingdom but their fruiting bodies might suggest they are related.
If you want to know more, (which of course you do, how could you not be fascinated by this amazing organism), then watch this rather entertaining video.
I’ll be asking questions at the end just to make sure you’re behaving and doing your homework.
* It's actually Badhamia but Badass sounds much better.
Whenever I dig into my old stuff the question always creeps into my head, "What would I tell that kid if I could tell him anything?"
You are going to do OK for yourself but in a quiet, unspectacular way. He (I) already knew that. In fact I took that for granted.
You are going to lose people that mean the world to you and you will never stop grieving for them. I knew that too ( we all do ) but I would have never admitted as much, preferring to only recognize those bitter truths as I was being run over by them.
I suppose I couldn't resist giving some sage advice but I wouldn't listen to myself. I remember making a point of not acting on good advice when dispensed by anyone professing to know what life was really about.
All in all it's a good thing time travel isn't possible. Aside from being freaked out by my wrinkly old self showing up to tell me crap I knew but didn't have the courage to act on, I would have been angered that all the suspense and mystery had just been taken out of life. For all the effort that goes into fiction about jumping back or ahead in time I think it is good that we have to crunch along alone without the aid of a nebbish future self showing up every so often to whine and moan about how I'm so lacking in ambition. I'm peeved at myself right now just for thinking up the thought of it.
I first put this together in 2012. Today I thought about it and made an effort to find the original images. 1974 was taken with a Canon F1 and a 50mm f1.4. 2012 was taken with a Pentax K10D and the 18-55 kit lens. In 2012 I used Gimp to stack the images. This time around I used Affinity Photo.
A question to all my followers playing Horizon 4: Are you one of these people who just maxes every single car you own, so you can then drive around spamming head-to-head challenges at cars 3 or 4 classes slower than yours?
If you answered yes, why do you bother? It looks no fun at all and most of the people who do it, can't even drive the awful cars they've built (or auto-built). I dunno about you but I start getting frustrated when my car always understeers on every corner while also being uncontrollable when I get on the throttle. These idiots seem to make all their cars behave that way on purpose. I'm really glad collisions are turned off
I received a lot of questions about the aquarium in Sydney
Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is a public aquarium located in the city of Sydney, South . It is located on the eastern side of Darling Harbour to the north of the Pyrmont Bridge. It is a full institutional member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
The aquarium contains a large variety of Australian aquatic life, displaying more than 650 species comprising more than 6,000 individual fish and other sea and water creatures from most of Australia's water habitats.
Its key exhibits in the aquarium are a series of underwater, see-through, acrylic glass tunnels where sharks swim above visitors, and recreation of a Great Barrier Reef coral environment.
{Note} some phrases from Gilson ({ The} Spirit of Medieval Philosophy30) on the Cistercian theology of love: (1) “Born of love, the whole universe is penetrated, moved, vivified from within, by love that circulates through it like life-giving blood through the body” (p. 276); 31 (2) “Human love, in spite of all its ignorance, blindness and even downright error, is always a participation in God’s own love for Himself.… even in the midst of the lowest pleasures, the most abandoned voluptuary is still seeking God” (p. 274); 32
“The question is then not how to acquire the love of God, but rather how to make it fully aware of itself, of its object, and of the way it should bear itself towards its object. In this sense the only difficulty is that of education, or, if you prefer, the re-education of love. The whole effort of Cistercian mysticism is therefore brought to bear on this point.” 33

Unfortunately the XB, like the most famous of all the Falcons, the XY GTHO, never tasted victory at Mount Bathurst.
'74 Ford XB Falcon Coupe (Hardtop). 351 cubic inches, 224kw, 300bhp or at least that was the specs when new. I seriously doubt that she'd meet these specs today.
The Australian XB Falcon is famous for its role as the "Interceptor" in the Mad Max movies & is the most sought after Classic Australian Muscle Car in the US. Probably for this reason & because of its resemblence to the Mach 1 Mustang & the Torino.

Le Perron de Liège est un perron-fontaine situé sur la place du Marché à Liège en face de l'hôtel de ville. Ce monument, représentant les libertés liégeoises, est le symbole de la Ville de Liège.
Progressivement, ce sont toutes les Libertés liégeoises qu’il symbolisera. Il se retrouvera partout où il est question de la ville de Liège. Que ce soit dans les armoiries, sur divers monuments et enseignes et jusqu'à aujourd'hui, stylisé dans le logo de la Ville de Liège.
C'est certainement cette acception qui explique le LG souvent inscrit de part et d'autre du Perron, comme Libertas Gentis, dont la signification première reste incertaine.
Cette icône des Libertés liégeoises devint si forte que le monument fut enlevé de son socle par Charles le Téméraire en 1468 pour être transporté à Bruges où il fut exposé. Dix ans plus tard, il fut ramené de Bruges par le Prince-Evêque Louis de Bourbon qui avait assisté au couronnement de Marie de Bourgogne. Il fut accueilli avec enthousiasme par les Liégeois et devint le palladium de leur nationalité.
Il connut diverses rénovations ou modifications, notamment par Jean del Cour au 17ème siècle qui ajouta les trois Grâces et en fit une fontaine.
Plus tard, certains éléments furent remplacés comme les bustes qui se trouvent au-dessus des portes de l'Hôtel de Ville ou les Trois Grâces, dont l'original est exposé au Grand Curtius.
Vu l'état de dégradation de l'édifice, une restauration globale du Perron, monument le plus prestigieux et emblématique de Liège s’avérait indispensable. Ces travaux ont commencé au printemps 2018, pour s’achever en juin 2019.
The Perron de Liège is a fountain-stoop located on the Place du Marché in Liège opposite the town hall. This monument, representing the freedoms of Liège, is the symbol of the City of Liège.
Gradually, it is all the Liberties of Liège that he will symbolize. It will be found everywhere where it is question of the city of Liège. Whether in the coat of arms, on various monuments and signs and until today, stylized in the logo of the City of Liège.
It is certainly this meaning that explains the LG often inscribed on either side of the Perron, like Libertas Gentis, whose primary meaning remains uncertain.
This icon of the Liberties of Liège became so strong that the monument was removed from its base by Charles the Bold in 1468 to be transported to Bruges where it was exhibited. Ten years later, he was brought back from Bruges by Prince-Bishop Louis de Bourbon who had attended the coronation of Mary of Burgundy. It was greeted with enthusiasm by the people of Liège and became the palladium of their nationality.
It underwent various renovations or modifications, in particular by Jean del Cour in the 17th century who added the three Graces and made a fountain of it.
Later, certain elements were replaced such as the busts which are above the doors of the Town Hall or the Three Graces, the original of which is exhibited at the Grand Curtius.
Given the state of deterioration of the building, an overall restoration of the Perron, the most prestigious and emblematic monument in Liège, was essential. This work began in the spring of 2018, and ended in June 2019.
Question for you east coasters: how do you know when a pond is frozen enough that it’s safe to walk on? I would be constantly afraid of falling through the ice. I guess at the public garden you at least know it’s shallow enough that if you fell thru you wouldn’t die, just ruin your day. But I’ve seen pics of people out walking on some of the natural deep ponds recently. How do you know it’s safe? I’ve read too many stories of people falling thru and coming up under the frozen ice not able to get to the air... I didn’t grow up around natural ice and it just seems way too scary. Anyway, this is an iPhone X shot from the public garden today.
