RKO_2703. I could not resist to share another photo of this little gem! Hope you like it!
Amazing how little they are, how brilliant (iridescent) colors they can have, how fast they move around and how they manage to hover in front of flowers when absorbing the nectar!

Yesterday I only wanted to buy some food for the weekend,
when I passed this flower shop ... I couldn't resist ! :-))
Behind the veil is the machine
It steals your soul, devouring all your dreams
My hand is firm upon the wheel
I control, I am the demon
Hate for the world the birth of a soldier
When I decide if you live or die
Rise of resist and disorder
Rise of resist and disorder
Nowhere to run, it's all undone
Everything burns, everything burns
I'll watch you fall down, I'll drag you face down
Everything burns, everything burns

I couldn't resist using the the colorful leaves in my back yard for this weeks photo. It seems Della thought it was very serious business!
The rails creak as Union Pacific's Marsh Job shoves two-hundred thousand pounds worth of product down the rickety spur to the only brick warehouse near Milwaukee's historic Third Ward still receiving rail shipments. Aside from being one of the only rail customers left in the area period, the 1891-built structure is one of the few old warehouses that still sees industrial use and has thus far avoided condo developers. In the Third Ward across the Milwaukee River, pretty much every brick warehouse that managed to avoid getting razed has been turned into condos and all industry has just about disappeared. Here in the Harbor View area, a handful of old warehouses still stand and are slowly getting turned into condos by the developers, notably the old Wayne Pigment structure just North of here which is currently undergoing conversion. Up until six or seven years ago, Wayne Pigment also still received shipments but has since relocated into a newer warehouse along CP trackage. National Warehouse still occupies the building and receives cars of salt and aggregate probably around two to four times a month. The tank behind the engine is for Elementis, one of the other three customers North of the KK River bridge. The only other rail-served customer with a classic brick building such as this that I can think of in recent memory was Continental Paper Grading in Chicago, which has since relocated and abandoned its 1890-built structure on South Lumber Street. For now, National Warehouse is holding out.

Well, these building may not be the first to catch the eye along Billionaire Row just south of Central Park but I couldn't resist the composition. I thought it interesting to find window A/C units and an old school water tank in real estate that runs way into the millions if not billions. A lot was being prepared for another skyscraper.
Technical Note: The perspective of this image drove me crazy, I couldn't figure out why the bottom of the center-right plane of the building looked a bit off (pulled in) even though the vertical lines are pretty straight. I thought it might have something to do with straightening the perspective or perhaps some lens distortion going on. What I concluded after plenty of study is it's a bit of an optical illusion with the four rows of lower windows having a different horizontal spacing than the top four rows! The result is that they tend to "pull" the image to the right a bit, IMO. Anyway, it was fun trying to figure this out and I was relieved that I didn't have to blame my 24-70. I shot this at 55mm which is a focal length I don't use too often for buildings. That being said, I'll have to run a few field tests next time I'm around tall buildings to confirm my hypothesis.

I couldn't resist posting this shot taken earlier today. One of our village lakes has its own little "desert island". Just a tiny strip of land about 15 feet long and 5 feet wide in the middle of the small lake - complete with a single palm tree! Recently a pair of masked lapwings set up a nest and a couple of days ago, three healthy chicks joined the two parents as the entire population of the little desert island! I was again fascinated by the fact that I got so close without a murmur from the parent birds, but anyone else got swooped! I must be the masked lapwing whisperer! ; )
