Storm Chasing Video from afternoon / evening on Flickr Click Here
Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...
First few shots of the day as this already severe warned storm was approaching from the northwest of my current location. Got in alignment of where I thought I had the best possible chance for pics & video. An open view with no power lines. Which is rare. Even in Nebraska.
There were actually 2 storm cells. Both were severe warned. I was on the outer boundaries of the western storm. The eastern storm was going to eventually merge with this storm & become one.
The lean or tilt in this storm meant business. Nothing to take away its energy for doing its building process. Rotation was imminent, though question was would this storm produce a tornado?

The Skeleton hangs down the Tree
Long before this HALL🎃WEEN
It’s dancing Twist in the strong Wind
But rather had a Peppermint
To fresh the Air
And does not dare
Asking You for Sweets to share
Although today it’s “Trick or Treat”
There’s Nobody here to give him a Sweet

"Ahhhhhhemmmmm??" a deep rumble shattered the peaceful solitude in the forest,"Young fellow, what are you doing?"
"Oh you startled me... errr, hello Mr Oak!" I turned on my side to see the old face looking at me.
"Mister Oak?, oh no, I am not a Mister Oak, they call me the Wise Oak in these here parts" he said in that deep rumbling voice.
"I do apologise, Wise Oak" I replied respectfully looking up at that giant ridged face.
"Mmmmm, i've seen some strange things in my time, many changes, but nothing like what you are doing lying down on the leaf litter there?" he pondered.
"Ohh, I was only taking some pictures!" I replied
"Taking some pictures, and where are you taking them to?" he asked
"I'm not taking them anywhere yet, I just took some pictures of the fungi" i got up and dusted myself down and put the lens cap on.
"Mmmm, yesss well, I've have been here for over four hundred years...sigggghhhh... and I have seen and heard lots of things"
"I'm sure you have" I looked at him with even greater respect
"Mmmm, yessss, well I remember when they used to cut all the branches off of my Hornbeam friends, used to let lots of light into the forest, that was only about a hundred and fifty years ago"
"Thats called pollarding" I replied
"One hell of a haircut, I thought" he said and let out a jolly laugh, his branches shook and a shower of tired leaves fell.
"Yes, they used to harvest the wood and graze the animals here"
"Yes, thats right, I remember, sadly, a lot of my Hornbeam companions have fallen over now, they just got too heavy from not having a regular haircut"
"Yes, I have noticed, quite a few have split apart"
"Pheww, ohh, I saw that happen many times, so painful, some good friends I lost there" his eyes showed the pain and sorrow.
"I'm sorry"
"Yes, well I think I'll have alittle sleep now" he replied with a gaping yawn
"Well Wise Oak, have a nice rest, I'm sure you will live another four hundred years or more and see more strangers taking pictures, goodbye for now"
"Goodbye young fellow" and as he closed his eyes I took one last shot and then walked off into the distance leaving Wise Oak in a deep slumber....
The face of a New York City police officer during the Women's March on January 21st, 2017. I call this Respect because of how these men and women in blue treated the marchers with respect and how the marchers, in turn, treated New York City's finest in a similar fashion. There was no show of force with batons waving in the air or any sense of a military-style occupation. The police were there to help route the march and the flow of traffic, as your friends. The march of 400,000 was peaceful in the tradition of those I marched in back in the 60s for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam. The NYPD has a tough job ahead of them with Trump Tower, the new President's home away from DC, being located in the heart of midtown Manhattan. I salute them for their courage and respect.

On the estuary of the Loire (south shore), a traditional fishery.
Sur l'estuaire de la Loire (rive sud), une pêcherie traditionnelle.
Saint-Brevin
France
Les pêcheries sur pilotis sont des esplanades en bois, souvent agrémentées d'une cabane, permettant la pêche au carrelet. Elles sont accessibles par un ponton ou bien par une échelle. Une perche amarrée à un câble soutient deux cerceaux où se fixe le carrelet, filet qui nécessite un treuil pour être relevé. La plupart des pêcheurs appâtent en vers de terre le fond de leurs mailles, lesté par quelques plombs.
En France, les pêcheries appartiennent à des personnes privées ou à des associations, mais occupent le domaine public maritime. À ce titre, elles font l'objet d'une autorisation d'occupation temporaire, précaire et révocable. S'agissant du domaine public naturel, les dispositions législatives en vigueur (article 2124 du Code général de la propriété des personnes publiques) imposent que les activités pratiquées tiennent compte de la vocation des espaces concernés, incluant notamment la pêche maritime, mais excluant l'hébergement (location de nuitées comme chambre d'hôte par exemple). La pêche au carrelet est essentiellement une activité non professionnelle, un loisir qui se pratique au printemps et à l'automne. Les prises (mulets, athérines appelées éperlans, anguilles ou bars) restent dépendantes des secteurs, des saisons, voire des jours.
Souvent équipées de façon rudimentaire, très régulièrement dépourvues d'eau courante et d'électricité, les pêcheries peuvent être louées pour une partie de pêche le temps d'une marée, sans hébergement, sous réserve du respect de prescriptions techniques relatives aux établissements accueillant du public et dans des conditions qui ne soient pas assimilables à une exploitation commerciale.
Le bassin d'Arcachon accueille des cabanes tchanquées, accessibles par bateau ou à marée basse. Plus au nord, les pêcheries occupent l'estuaire de la Gironde et de la Charente, le littoral de la Charente-Maritime, de la Vendée et de la Loire-Atlantique, ainsi que l'estuaire de la Loire. Une quarantaine de pêcheries sont construites le long de la rive sud de cet estuaire, de Saint-Brevin-les-Pins à Corsept. Elles sont accessibles par des passerelles horizontales dont les plus longues font jusqu'à 120 mètres. Essentiellement constituées de perches en bois de châtaignier, les ossatures sont enfoncées dans la vase à plus d'un mètre par endroits. Des ancrages au sol sont nécessaires pour supporter la cabane, souvent constitués de bidons enfoncés dans la vase à marée basse et évidés avant d'être remplis de gravats ou de béton.

Aunque mi opinión cuente poco al respecto (me pasa como a usted o a cualquier otro, que no sé nada del secreto cósmico) mi preferida entre las que conozco es la teoría de Arthur Schopenhauer. Si a las filosofías pudiera puntuárselas como a los restaurantes, valorando en lugar de su cocina, bodega, servicio o decoración otro tipo de “prestaciones” –cosmología, antropología, teoría del conocimiento, estética, psicología, elegancia de diseño argumentativo, etcétera-, creo que la expuesta en El mundo como voluntad y representación obtendría en su conjunto cinco estrellas. Tiene una envidiable economía de principios, buenos logros parciales en algunas materias concretas (su teoría de la risa, por ejemplo, o la de la locura), concede importancia a temas esenciales pero descuidados por otros sistemas como la muerte y el sexo, combina con acierto la ausencia de esperanza cósmica y la posibilidad de serenidad personal, incluso desciende a proporcionar algunas indicaciones prácticas de interés para la gestión de la vida cotidiana. Se le pueden disculpar las deficiencias en el terreno político y cierta brumosa mística antivitalista con la que recomienda una forma de santidad que al propio autor por lo visto atraía poco (su mayor empeño personal no era anular su voluntad de vivir sino llegar a cumplir cien años) Objeciones menores si se comparan con las inconsecuencias y quimeras de muchos otros. Desde luego, no parece adecuado hacerle el reproche de ser “pesimista” por pensar que éste es el peor de los mundos posibles (la mayoría de los pesimistas que conozco se caracterizan habitualmente por estar convencidos de que toda situación, por mala que sea, es susceptible de empeorar): el auténtico y descorazonador pesimismo es el de Leibniz, que se atrevió a sostener que éste es el mejor de los mundos posibles, lo que ya ni siquiera nos deja imaginar escapatoria alguna...

Its truly what I wait for every season...
Non Severe late August Nebraska Thunderstorms!
Conditions were just right, almost perfect for capturing some incredible CG Nebraska Lightning. These very slow moving storm cells building just to west northwest of Kearney provided this opportunity that early morning.

Some good photo ops, as I was driving south. Tornado Warning now on the cell just to the east. Had to get to the Hwy 15 / Hwy 41 Junction to watch the wall cloud move just to the west of Wilber Nebraska.
A few of these might be a little blurry, though structure was wanted to show here. It was my only Tor Warned storm all day, as I was now close to 13 hours on my chase day. I was getting tired and I wasn't about to chase a tornado in the dark, so to get close and witness what I could as there was no light left. 1"-2" Hail now was pounding my windshield and it would only get worse. Though I rolled down the window and shot these final shots...
Final Day shots that is...

An interesting cemetery on top of the hill in the middle of the Cinque Terre village of Monterosso Al Mare.
Otaki mural back in 2021. Such a powerful message.
I couldn't make it to the hikoi yesterday but it was so great to see such a huge protest. A peaceful one that by all accounts had a great vibe. I just hope it makes a difference and The Treaty is upheld.

This young buck is standing at the edge of my drive way, watching a couple of turkeys eat the seed and corn I'd put out for them. He was definitely interested in joining the party, but seemed to be intimidated by the turkeys.

Dark, swirling storm clouds dominate the sky over a green, flat landscape, creating a dramatic contrast. A sense of this supercell's impending weather change is palpable as the horizon stretches out beneath the tumultuous sky.

This image has been MONTHS in the making. When I first found this figurine on Amazon, I knew exactly what I would do with it haha. It got lost in the mail for a month until I got my hands on it finally last week haha.
I took this on Moraine Lake Road this morning. It was cloudy, rainy and cold. All of these images I now have of Highway Patrol Cartman made my drive out there worth while! Oh how I love South Park haha.

Respecto a la Feria de Navidad en Valencia, ya en un reportaje del Mundo Gráfico publicado el 1 de enero de 1913, se decía:
"La Feria de Navidad en Valencia, una de las más típicas fiestas populares de la hermosa ciudad, tiene un antiguo origen. Instálase desde hace algunos años en el Parque de Castelar, y en ella, a tenor de los tiempos modernos, junto a las instalaciones características de dichos mercados, figuran el Circo, los "cines", los lujosos "tios - vivos", el progreso industrial, en fin, en todas sus manifestaciones. La feria es un animado cuadro de color al que pone su nota brillante la arrogantísima belleza femenil valenciana".
La primera atracción de noria fue construida para la Exposición Universal de Chicago en 1893, proyectada por el ingeniero George Washington Ferris. Tenía una altura de 75 metros. Menos de la mitad que la mayor noria de la actualidad, la Singapore Flyer, de 165 metros. Otras norias mundialmente conocidas son la London Eye, en Londres, que apareció en una de las películas de la saga de James Bond, o la del Prater, en Viena.
May an old log beaten by wind and rain,
Grey from the long winter,
burnt at the base in late summer.
May an old log, washed ashore by tumbling waves.
Refuged by the ants and moths, Oh… so surrendered...
May an old log so forgotten today…
command respect for what it once was?!!!
Es gibt viele Menschen, welche nicht einmal ein Dach über dem Kopf haben, geschweige denn, etwas warmes zum Anziehen. Vielleicht sollten wir in unserer glamourösen Adventszeit und an den Festtagen auch an sie Denken.
Gibt es vielleicht in der Nachbarschaft eine Familie, welche sich freuen würde, an eurem Tisch Weihnachten zu Feiern?
Oder einfach mal in einer gemütlichen Stube zusammensitzen zu können?
Gibt es ein Obdachloser, welcher sich über eine heisse Tasse Tee (vielleicht mit Schuss) freut?
Es gäbe sicher noch viel mehr Möglichkeiten, den eigenen "Luxus" für einen Moment herunter zu Schrauben, und dafür einem anderen Menschen eine ewige Erinnerung zu Schenken.
There are many people who don't even have a roof over their heads, let alone something warm to wear. Perhaps we should also think of them during our glamorous Advent and festive season.
Is there perhaps a family in the neighborhood who would be happy to celebrate Christmas at your table?
Or just to be able to sit together in a cozy living room?
Is there a homeless person who would enjoy a hot cup of tea (perhaps with a shot)?
I'm sure there are many more ways to reduce your own "luxuries" for a moment and give someone else the gift of an eternal memory.
Hay muchas personas que ni siquiera tienen un techo bajo el que cobijarse, por no hablar de algo de abrigo que ponerse. Quizá deberíamos pensar también en ellos durante nuestro glamuroso Adviento y las fiestas.
¿Hay quizá alguna familia en el barrio que estaría encantada de celebrar la Navidad en tu mesa?
¿O simplemente poder sentarse juntos en un salón acogedor?
¿Hay alguna persona sin hogar que disfrutaría de una taza de té caliente (quizás con un chupito)?
Seguro que hay muchas más formas de reducir tus propios "lujos" por un momento y regalar a otra persona un recuerdo eterno.

I chose this photo for the 'your best shot in 2017' Group, or should I say it was chosen by you guys (thank you all) out there in the Flickr sphere. I've tried to concentrate on macro shots for a while now and I think this one succeeds quite well in that respect. For me macro is a real challenge, and sometimes my temper gets the better of me, but this time I got a bit lucky as only a good confluence can be. Very lucky indeed as it was meant to be just a trial run for the new camera:)
This game is played like the marble solitaire board game, except with glass pawn-like pieces. As I am intolerant to board games I have no clue as to what that all means:)
Taken some weeks ago after a very brief cover of snow. (It had all melted the day after).
The foot of the 'Campsies' (as Glaswegians call them) are roughly twenty-minutes' drive from where I live, & could be called 'local' in that respect. They offer a little piece of moorland wildlife & expansive views of the Southern Highlands very close to Glasgow.
When I first arrived in Iceland, it took a while to let the thoughts fully sink in that I was indeed, actually, in Iceland; the number one country I had dreamed of visiting for years. The first couple of days passed with that dreamy, hazy feeling, not quite believing life is real. On the third day (a month ago today as I write this), my team and I went to visit some waterfalls... We were at Skógafoss, where I set up my tripod and camera while staring in silent awe at the cascading water. I began to shed my layers of scarves, coat and sweaters in preparation to put on my red dress for this self-portrait... and then I patiently waited. Waited for the sun and clouds to line up correctly to light the waterfall just right. Waited for the surrounding tourists to finish taking their photos. Waited for the breeze to blow the mist away from my camera lens. After almost 45 minutes, I finally saw my chance. I slipped off my shoes and ran towards the falling sheets of water, camera clicking away behind me... and was suddenly engulfed in the freezing, falling mist as I spun around joyously at the bottom of the falls. It was that very moment, when my clothes were soaked through and my feet kept slipping between rocks and I felt absolutely frozen, that my mindset finally changed from "dreamy, hazy" to "Oh my frognoggin' firecrackers this is freaking real" before I had to run back to the safety of my coat and scarf. It was one of those moments where I felt most alive... My heart felt so big and yet the rest of me felt so small. I have greatest respect for these places in nature and I simply can't fathom how beautiful this world is. It blows my mind over and over again.

A vast landscape is dominated by swirling, ominous clouds hinting at an approaching storm. The darkened sky contrasts with the subtle light of the horizon, casting a moody atmosphere over the open fields. Sparse vegetation on the gentle hills adds to the stark beauty of the scene.

Late July 2023...
This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!
90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.
In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.
Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

It was a foggy morning in eastern Kentucky and I was out with a gaggle of other railfans who had descended upon Appalachia for the previous day’s Santa Train festivities. On top of the Santa Train, CSX was running all kinds of other neat things that weekend including this coal empty led by an SD70MACe and a YN2 AC4400CW. Chasing trains on the Big Sandy Subdivision is always fun due to the large amount of C&O signal installations that are still standing, such as this cantilever at EM Cabin in Emma, KY. Us railfans were lined up right in the middle of the gauge on the main track, but the crew didn’t seem to mind. When something moderately cool is running, common safety concerns seem to go out the window. Probably wouldn’t have stood there if I could go back in time, but it did make for a nice angle.

My deepest respect and greetings to all the photographers of the world.
Many people that have mentioned that they’ve never heard of World Photography Day. Why is that? World Photography Day wasn’t ‘created’ by a big brand as a marketing tool. Rather, it’s a day where photographers had started to come together to celebrate photography, just because they could. Any excuse to throw a party right? Slowly, groups around the world have started to get on board with the idea of World Photography Day and you will find traces of World Photography Day being celebrated over the last 20 years or so. Each year, World Photography Day has gained momentum and this year, we’re hoping to bring photographers together once again with an even larger audience.
Why August 19th?
World Photography Day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic processes developed by Louis Daguerre. On January 9, 1839, The French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government announced the invention as a gift “Free to the World.”
Another photographic processes, the Calotype, was also invented in 1839 by William Fox Talbot (it was announced in 1841). Together, the invention of both the Daguerreotype and Calotype mark 1839 as the year that photography was invented.

The shape of a giant head is highlighted dramatically on the top of these rocks at Porthmeor Beach. The two people silhouetted seem to be standing in awe , almost as if they were in worship.
*
Could it be that we are surrounded
by masters in the form of plants,
animals and minerals, deserving our
deepest gratitude and respect, who
with silent stillness, which we call
meditation, exemplify transcendence
in service to the One beyond attributes
by sacrificing even their presence to
teach, nourish and protect us?

This is the last photo I'll be posting from our recent trip to Iceland. However, because there were species we either didn't see or didn't get many shots of this time round - such as the Rock Ptarmigan - I'm going to be adding a few previously unpublished images from our last visit in 2015. Whilst I enjoyed both trips, I don't think we'll be returning, so I'm going to use this opportunity to make sure my Flickr Iceland album contains all the photos I want it to, particularly as the album I had on my original website is now effectively lost.

'the experiences, the places, the species and more ....'
In respect of my new 'reincarnated' website www.tickspics.com I'm still spending all my current free time in trying to make it 'mobile friendly' - a rather thankless, but necessary task to comply with Google's SEO requirements. As soon as that is out of the way, I'll be regularly adding new content including an extended write-up about both our Iceland trips.
Curiosidades : Respecto a cuánto viven las cigüeñas negras, decir que su esperanza de vida media ronda los 20 años. No obstante, se han detectado casos en que pueden alcanzar una edad más elevada, de hasta 27 años.
Lamentablemente, la mortalidad en los primeros meses de vida es bastante alta, cercana al 60% en el primer año. Esto es debido a la las circunstancias que viven en las zonas de invernada. Mientras más edad van alcanzando, se reduce su mortandad, comenzando a incrementar notoriamente a partir de los 10 años aproximadamente.
With deep respect for the Veterans who have stood between us and a deep abyss.
Currently 100% of our forces are volunteers. They are paid peanuts and their families struggle to make ends meet.
I was surprised to hear on the History Channel this morning that only 20% of the Viet Nam Vets were draftees. I would have thought the inverse from popular lore.
Above are photos of my dad, my two brothers and me. I am the cute baby on the bottom left. My dad with the Lyndon Johnson big ear is on the top left. My older brother is on the top right and I'm pretty sure he is gay - if he is not gay he is missing a good chance. (Just look at the necklace he is wearing.) My younger brother is giving the finger to the world on the bottom right - a trait that he continues to this day.
I thought about the significance of this day when I saw a goofy wall hanging my mom put together many years ago and gave me showing these 4 photos. My Mom and Dad are long gone, but I thought of my Mom carefully cutting photos into circles to place in the frame as a special gift for me. – I removed them to scan for this.
So, my thought is that all of the Vets were once babes in their mom’s arms. They are not statistics to be used by politicians of any stripe. Both sides suck in my opinion.
My dad and both of his brothers served in the Navy during WWII in the Pacific. One of his brothers died in service. My mother’s only brother served in the Navy in WWII in the Atlantic. My brothers and I also served in the Navy.
My Father-in-Law served in North Africa and Italy.
Two of my wife’s 3 brothers served in the Air Force.
My older brother’s son served in the Army in Iraq during the first (1991?) conflict in a WMD unit.
My younger brother’s son is currently serving in Iraq in the Army as an interpreter. (Prayers for his safety are welcome and requested).
All of us volunteered.
I did diddlysquat in terms of personal sacrifice during my time in service.
Today thousands serve in harms way and deserve our prayers or good wishes.
I salute the brave men and women who serve and have served to keep us free.

Storm Chasing Video from that Afternoon on Flickr Click Here
Working on Spring projects with the wife. Enjoying our day together. Plans were made & I had no plans for chasing any storms even if they form.
Honestly, My time with family succeeds any other activity. I knew there were storms to the south of us this day. But again it was family time. I didn't even look on radar.
Finished our projects & went out to the front of the house and my jaw dropped!!! Literally in front of me this incredible updraft on a NON-severe warned storm. This had no warning on it, and I was dumbfounded. Asked... Wife said go get'm Tiger... Rest is History.
Storm Chasing is not always about catching a Tornado. This storm cell was already in its dying stages... Finished off this afternoon with some up close and personal shots of this dying thunderstorm!

No, it's not gratuitous use of the Flood filter, there was plenty of lake in front of this temple; I simply rotated the scene 180 in Photoshop (plus a few other tweaks, of course).

Apologies, my ISP problems have resurfaced, hence no post and no visits to your images yesterday / today (I'm briefly in the office to post this).
