I recognized your number
It's burned into my brain
Felt my heart beating faster
Every time it rang
Some things never change
That's why I didn't answer
I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a country song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in a bar
'Cause I'm always your last call
I don't need to check that message
I know what it says
"Baby, I still love you"
Don't mean nothing when there's whiskey on your breath
That's the only love I get
So if you're calling
I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a cheatin' song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last
Call me crazy but
I think maybe
We've had our last call
I bet you're in a bar
It's always the same old song
That Johnny Walker Red
By now it's almost gone
But baby, I won't be there
To catch you when you fall
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last call

The nation's tallest monument at 630-foot-tall. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States and officially dedicated to "the American people", the Arch, commonly referred to as "The Gateway to the West", is a National Historic Landmark in Gateway Arch National Park and has become an internationally recognized symbol of St. Louis, as well as a popular tourist destination.
The Arch was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen in 1947; construction began on February 12, 1963, and was completed on October 28, 1965.
The Pabineau Falls are recognized in the Chaleur region of New Brunswick for their grandiose beauty! Located in the Pabineau First Nation, the falls are on the Nepisiguit River and are surrounded by breathtaking nature. Gegoapsgog is the mi'gmaq name for this location, and it means "at the top of the falls".

In various regions of Asia—especially Korea, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia—cats with short, curled tails have been a familiar sight in both urban and rural landscapes for centuries. These distinctive tails, often twisted like a spiral or loop, are the result of a natural genetic mutation that has persisted in local populations, particularly in isolated or inbred groups. In Korea, these cats are not an officially recognized breed, but they are common as both stray and domestic animals, and are often viewed fondly by locals.
The cat shown here—a calico female with a short, curled tail—is a beautiful example of this trait (although it is not clearly visible in the image). We found her at the harbor, keeping a vigilant eye on everything around her, full of curiosity and poise. After the photos were taken, she stayed close to us, gently asking for affection—clearly a lady of the port, confident and at ease in her domain. Her tricolor coat, typical of female calicos, adds symbolic value: in many Asian cultures, this pattern is associated with good luck and protection of the home.

The Mallard, or Wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos[1]), probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical Americas, Europe, Asia, New Zealand (where it is currently the most common duck species), and Australia.
The male birds have a bright green head, while the female's is light brown. The Mallard lives in wetlands, eats water plants, and is gregarious. It is also migratory. The Mallard is the ancestor of all domestic ducks, and can interbreed with other species of genus Anas.[2] This interbreeding is causing rarer species of ducks to become genetically diluted.
The Mallard is 56–65 centimetres (22–26 in) long, has a wingspan of 81–98 centimetres (32–39 in), and weighs 0.9–1.2 kilograms (32–42 oz). The breeding male is unmistakable, with a bright green head, black rear end and a yellowish orange (can also contain some red) bill tipped with black (as opposed to the dark brown bill in females), and is also nature's most feared duck. The female Mallard is light brown, like most female dabbling ducks. However, both the female and male Mallards have distinct purple speculum edged with white, prominent in flight or at rest (though temporarily shed during the annual summer moult). In non-breeding (eclipse) plumage the drake becomes drab, looking more like the female, but still distinguishable by its yellow bill and reddish breast.
In captivity, domestic ducks come in wild-type plumages, white, and other colours. Most of these colour variants are also known in domestic Mallards not bred as livestock, but kept as pets, aviary birds, etc., where they are rare but increasing in availability.
A noisy species, the male has a nasal call, the female has a "quack" stereotypically associated with ducks.[3]
The Mallard is a rare example of both Allen's Rule and Bergmann's Rule in birds. Bergmann's Rule, which states that polar forms tend to be larger than related ones from warmer climates, has numerous examples in birds. Allen's Rule says that appendages like ears tend to be smaller in polar forms to minimize heat loss, and larger in tropical and desert equivalents to facilitate heat diffusion, and that the polar taxa are stockier overall. Examples of this rule in birds are rare, as they lack external ears. However, the bill of ducks is very well supplied with blood vessels and is vulnerable to cold.
For me entering juried exhibits are paths to both personal and professional growth. For some of us it is a bit intimidating to enter our work in these exhibits because we are exposing our innermost self, opening us up to possible rejection. However, it also builds character, confidence, and...

Hjerl Hede’s Open-Air Museum is an officially recognized privately funded theme-specific museum for cultural history.
The museum was founded in 1930 by director H. P. Hjerl Hansen and was run by the Hjerl-foundation until 1979 when the museum was separated from the foundation as a self-owned institution.
The museum consists of the Old Village, the Jutland Forestry Museum, and the Museum for Peat production. More than 50 different buildings can be seen at Hjerl Hede’s Open-Air Museum, showing the style of building and furnishing in the rural areas, as well as showing a number of elements which are characteristic for the surroundings of an old Danish
village. Among these are the rural craftsmanship.
I was alerted this morning that this creep stole many of my photos & posted them on his Flickr page. I also saw one of Karo's images of her son & I'm sure that none of the other photos on his stream are his own. Please check & if you recognize someone's image, please let them know. It's beyond frustrating. It's a true violation! I would appreciate any advice on how to handle this. Thanks!
ETA: He has deleted the set that I had linked. Thank you to all of my wonderful Flickr friends for the support! Y'all are the best!
Excerpt from establishmedia.ca/stories/press-releases-stories/public-a...:
The City of St. Thomas and Elgin County are pleased to celebrate their 140 year relationship through the artwork in the new Southdale/Fairview roundabout. Mayor Joe Preston and Warden Tom Marks officially unveiled the new art piece today.
“The public art piece at this roundabout is a great tribute to our agricultural history and the working relationship between the City and County.” stated Mayor Preston. “I look forward to many years of continued partnerships.”
“I am delighted to see the roundabout at Fairview Ave and Southdale Line open to the public, and it is exciting to be able to incorporate a public art element into this project,” said Elgin County Warden Tom Marks. “This roundabout will ease the flow of traffic between the City of St. Thomas and the County of Elgin, ensuring that our residents can travel seamlessly through this high traffic volume connection. The City of St. Thomas is our closest neighbouring municipality and this project is a shining example of what teamwork and strong partnerships can accomplish.”
The Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) also known as the common pied oystercatcher, palaearctic oystercatcher, or (in Europe) just oystercatcher are easily recognizable birds with their black & white bodies, orange bills, rose legs and red eyes.
The oystercatcher is one of the largest waders in Europe. It is 40–45 cm long, and has a wingspan of 80–85 cm.
These igratory birds have a large range stretching across Europe, north Africa, and parts of Asia. Most of the birds spend the winter in the warmer parts of this range, primarily in north Africa and southern Europe, moving northwards to breed.
De scholekster (Haematopus ostralegus) is een gemakkelijk herkenbare zwart-witte steltloper met een oranje snavel en roze poten. Rondom de ogen heeft hij een oranjerode ring. De lichaamslengte bedraagt 40 tot 45 cm en de vleugelspanwijdte is 80 tot 85 cm. Het verenkleed is bij beide geslachten gelijk.
Het is een trekvogel, die in Europa, delen van Azië en Noord Afrika leeft vooral langs kusten. In gematigde gebieden, ook in Nederland, trekken veel vogels in de winter niet naar het zuiden.
De scholekster komt in Nederland in kleinere aantallen ook in het binnenland voor. Het voedsel van de scholekster bestaat uit schelpdieren, wormen en krabben.
Deze opname is gemaakt in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem.

It's always nice when I recognize a place I've been before in one of my photos, because the memories of that moment immediately come back to me. And then I have two wonderful memories that I associate with just one photo. It's an emotional double decker, so to speak.
That's how I feel when I look at this photo that I took last year at the Schrammsteine in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
The view here is in the direction opposite the Schrammsteine and shows a lonely rock (if someone could tell me the name, I would be very grateful) around which a clearly visible path runs. I spent a morning there about 2 years ago waiting for the sunrise. I still remember that day there was a pretty cold wind blowing in my face and I mostly tried to hide behind the rocks. This was also my first tour where I spent the night in my camper. It's great to be able to get everything out again so quickly. And that’s just through a photo. Gosh, do I have a really cool hobby.
Es ist immer wieder schön, wenn ich auf einem meiner Fotos einen Ort erkenne, an dem ich schon einmal war, denn sofort kommen die Erinnerungen an diesen Moment wieder in mein Bewusstsein. Und dann habe ich gleich zwei wunderschöne Erinnerungen, die ich mit nur einem Foto verbinde. Das ist das sozusagen ein emotionaler Doppeldecker.
So geht es mir, wenn ich mir dieses Foto hier anschaue, welches ich letztes Jahr an den Schrammsteinen im Elbsandsteingebirge gemacht habe.
Der Blick geht hier in die den Schrammsteinen gegenüber liegende Richtung und zeigt einen allein stehenden Felsen (wenn mir jemand den dessen Namen verraten könnte wäre ich sehr dankbar) um den herum, klar sichtbar ein Weg verläuft. Dort habe ich vor ca. 2 Jahren einen Morgen verbracht und auf den Sonnenaufgang gewartet. Ich erinnere mich noch, dass mir an dem Tag ein ziemlich kalter Wind ins Gesicht bliess und mich meist versucht habe hinter den Felsen zu verbergen. Außerdem war dies meine erste Tour bei der ich in meinem Camper übernachtet habe. Es ist schon toll, dass alles so schnell wieder hervor holen zu können. Und das nur durch ein Foto. Ich hab schon ein echt cooles Hobby.

Recognizable by its striking, leopard-like shell patterns, this species thrives in arid savannas and scrublands, where it feeds on grasses, succulents, and occasional fruits.
As part of Africa’s “Small Five”, the leopard tortoise joins the elephant shrew, ant lion, rhinoceros beetle, and buffalo weaver in a playful twist on the iconic “Big Five”. This concept highlights smaller, often overlooked species whose names echo their larger counterparts. While the Big Five symbolize Africa’s majestic megafauna, the Small Five remind us to appreciate biodiversity in all forms.

I joined the Flickr community back in 2014, and I wish I would have joined years before. Like just about every other aspect of the internet, it can provide information that leads to education. Because it is a photo sharing community, for me, it shares beauty and adventure…not to mention as I see where others are “getting the shot” so I can make plans to eventually go there! I have learned so much from those that I follow on Flickr, they truly have no idea how much they have elevated my passion. The downside to the internet, and Flickr is not immune to those who use it to promote their politics and perversions…easily avoided but sadly still there.
I probably spend an hour a day on Flickr, liking and making comments on others posts and enjoying their kindnesses on mine. I still sit in amazement when I post a photo, and a second or two later someone in India, Holland, Australia and Russia have already liked it. As one (back in my Navy days) who use to wait to hit ports to call home or receive a letter that was mailed in my direction a month earlier, my old man brain just can’t wrap itself around the speed of communication today.
It was probably sometime in early December that I opened Flicker to see what others had posted. One of the first photos to pop up was that of a young lady petting a horse. It was a fantastic photo but something came over me…a chill, a feeling of deja-vu that made me sit forward in my chair and place my face closer to the screen of my computer. It wasn’t the young lady, as she was a stranger and that would make me a pervert…it was the horse…I had seen that horse before. The feeling of familiarity and mild ADHD led me to drop what I was doing as I needed to investigate.
I minimized Flickr and opened my Lightroom program where I still had some 900-1000 photos to edit from Ireland and the second half of Scotland. The horses distinct color, the pasture with the ocean behind it started to drive me crazy! I could remember photographing the same horse, I just couldn’t remember where.
It didn’t take long to find the file. Opening Flickr back up, I did a side-by-side comparison, sitting in amazement that it was in fact the same. At no time in my life has the world felt smaller…someone, a total stranger from Germany that I follow on flicker and I think may follow me was on the same Irish backroad near the Cliffs of Moher just a few days before…photographing the same horse.
I started to research the probability of this happening…I can’t...I hate math. But here are a few Flickr facts:
Number of photos shared daily: 3.5 million
Number of photos shared: over 10 billion since its founding in 2004
Total number of users: over 112 million from 72 countries
Most popular cameras used: iPhone- 54% / Canon- 23% / Nikon- 18%
This makes me wonder just how often that horses photo is taken…
Like it or not, we are all getting closer to knowing Kevin Bacon by the day!

Another image of my favorite mockingbird.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather.
This species has rarely been observed in Europe. The northern mockingbird is known for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, "many-tongued mimic".
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land.
The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles.
The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. - Wikipedia

Happy Fence Friday. I came across this paper mache sculpture as I was on a walk past Kitsilano Pool/Showboat last weekend. It has both 'Lupo' and '#Belovedghosts' written on it. I love spontaneous art and this certainly caught my eye.
Then I looked it up and discovered this is the work of a local artist, Lupo: www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/vancouver-street-ar...
"I have been making sculptures in memory of people who have passed away and whose lives are being erased and forgotten. I have been placing these around the city, both to resist their erasure and to reach out to the many others who are grieving or hurting. Please be safe people."Lupo/@lupo.artwork/Instagram

|DE| Beim ersten und wohl auch letzten richtigen Schneespaziergang in diesem kurzen Winter ging ich über ein Feld, und es klirrte bei jedem Schritt. Bei genauem Hinsehen waren die recht großen Eiskristalle zu erkennen, die wohl aufgrund des nächtlichen Nebels entstanden waren. Trotz zitternder Hand (immerhin -12C) gelang dank Macro-Linse diese Aufnahme.
|EN| On my first and maybe last real snow walk in this short winter season I walked over a field and heared a "clinking" with each step. Down in my knees I recognized these quite big ice crystals. Despite of my shaking hands I was able to take this shot, thanks to my macro lense.

The Toco toucan is at home in South America's tropical forests but recognized everywhere. The toucan's oversized, colorful bill has made it one of the world's most popular birds.
The 7.5-inch-long (19-centimeter-long) bill may be seen as a desirable mating trait, but if so, it is one that both male and female toucans possess. In fact, both sexes use their bills to catch tasty morsels and pitch them to one another during a mating ritual fruit toss.
As a weapon, the bill is a bit more show than substance. It is a honeycomb of bone that actually contains a lot of air. While its size may deter predators, it is of little use in combating them.
In addition to fruit, Toco toucans eat insects and, sometimes, young birds, eggs, or lizards.
Toco toucans live in small flocks of about six birds. Toucans nest in tree holes.
Their bright colors actually provide good camouflage in the dappled light of the rain forest canopy. However, the birds commonly keep up a racket of vocalization, which suggests that they are not trying to remain hidden.
Indigenous peoples regard the bird with a more sacred eye; they are traditionally seen as conduits between the worlds of the living and the spirits.

Pyrmont Bridge is an important historic and architectural landmark in Sydney, recognized for its innovative engineering and contribution to the city's transport infrastructure. Today, the bridge is used primarily by pedestrians and cyclists, providing a scenic route across Darling Harbour and easy access from the suburb of Pyrmont to the central city.
Actually the first Burr Truss covered bridge in Lehigh Valley that my sweet west coast damsel and I ventured to that October day last fall, ironic that it’s image would be the last of the three Burr Truss covered bridges that I post, located in Northampton Pennsylvania is the Kreidersville Covered Bridge, built back in 1839 over the Hokendauqua Creek. In 1959 a grass roots movements by the local citizens recognizing the historical significance of the vanishing covered bridges when the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation State Highway Department wanted to knock down the bridge replace it with a concrete bridge, banded together to save the 116 foot long Hummel's - Koch's - Solt's Bridge as it was then known, named after the families that resided near the bridge and organized & formed the ‘The Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of Pennsylvania’ named after the gentlemen whose patented truss design was used in the construction of this bridge and actually the other two which my west coast damsel and I visited on that day. The state has 250 of the remaining 1500 covered bridges left in the United States.

Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. It stands on Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age, although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633. From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognized increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programs have been carried out over the past century and a half.
As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1,100-year history, giving it a claim to having been "the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world". Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century when the medieval defenses were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh, the Royal Palace, and the early 16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland, and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial and administrative. Some of the castle buildings house regimental museums which contribute to its presentation as a tourist attraction.
The castle, in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, is Scotland's most and the United Kingdom's second most-visited paid tourist attraction, with over 2.2 million visitors in 2019 and over 70 percent of leisure visitors to Edinburgh visiting the castle. As the backdrop to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the annual Edinburgh Festival, the castle has become a recognizable symbol of Edinburgh in particular and of Scotland as a whole.

Those familiar with Ansel Adams may recognize this scene.
I used a 5x7 crop instead of the original 4x5 (medium format), and include more of the land on the right side. I couldn't get on top of a van to see more river. Plus the pine tree forest is older and larger with more growth obscuring the left bend in the river, and the mountains are capped by a storm.
What a delight to follow Ansel Adams' footsteps.

This easily-recognized squirrel (Earless or Early for short) has been cutting a rather sorry figure in the yard for about three years. The sculpture was made by Mrs. Orca's grandmother c. 1960s (?), but it seems to me she must have had a paleolithic fertility aesthetic in mind. We'll see if it brings Early any luck this spring.

I recognized this car from an advert I'd seen. It is still for sale: www.autotrack.nl/a/honda-accord-benzine-1986-50707223 . €5950 is all it takes. Seems like a steep price, but it looks as good as new.
Trouble recognizing? Unlike in Stephen Kings fabulous work "The Eyes of the Dragon" (no horror, but a fantasy- book!), this one is standing tall in my backyard. Its the trunk of a walnut tree.
I believe a branch was cut, so the tree formed this bizarre scar.
Probleme beim Erkennen? "Die Augen des Drachen", ein unterschätztes Werk von Stephen King (Fantasy, kein Horror!), aber hier "nur" der Stamm eines Walnussbaumes bei mir im Garten. An dieser Stelle wurde wohl mal ein Ast abgeschnitten und diese bizarre Narbe hat sich in der Rinde gebildet.
Can you guess what it is?
Answer: it's a vintage flower frog (see a more recognizable photo in the comments).
The Mallard, or Wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos[1]), probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical Americas, Europe, Asia, New Zealand (where it is currently the most common duck species), and Australia.
The male birds have a bright green head, while the female's is light brown. The Mallard lives in wetlands, eats water plants, and is gregarious. It is also migratory. The Mallard is the ancestor of all domestic ducks, and can interbreed with other species of genus Anas.[2] This interbreeding is causing rarer species of ducks to become genetically diluted.
The Mallard is 56–65 centimetres (22–26 in) long, has a wingspan of 81–98 centimetres (32–39 in), and weighs 0.9–1.2 kilograms (32–42 oz). The breeding male is unmistakable, with a bright green head, black rear end and a yellowish orange (can also contain some red) bill tipped with black (as opposed to the dark brown bill in females), and is also nature's most feared duck. The female Mallard is light brown, like most female dabbling ducks. However, both the female and male Mallards have distinct purple speculum edged with white, prominent in flight or at rest (though temporarily shed during the annual summer moult). In non-breeding (eclipse) plumage the drake becomes drab, looking more like the female, but still distinguishable by its yellow bill and reddish breast.
In captivity, domestic ducks come in wild-type plumages, white, and other colours. Most of these colour variants are also known in domestic Mallards not bred as livestock, but kept as pets, aviary birds, etc., where they are rare but increasing in availability.
A noisy species, the male has a nasal call, the female has a "quack" stereotypically associated with ducks.[3]
The Mallard is a rare example of both Allen's Rule and Bergmann's Rule in birds. Bergmann's Rule, which states that polar forms tend to be larger than related ones from warmer climates, has numerous examples in birds. Allen's Rule says that appendages like ears tend to be smaller in polar forms to minimize heat loss, and larger in tropical and desert equivalents to facilitate heat diffusion, and that the polar taxa are stockier overall. Examples of this rule in birds are rare, as they lack external ears. However, the bill of ducks is very well supplied with blood vessels and is vulnerable to cold.
Anybody recognize the guy in this pic? Comment below and also comment who he marries... lol Randomness for the day."This year for Christmas, lets give each other more practical gifts like shoes and socks."

The gentoo penguin is easily recognized by the wide white stripe extending like a bonnet across the top of its head and its bright orange-red bill. It has pale whitish-pink webbed feet and a fairly long tail – the most prominent tail of all penguin species. Chicks have grey backs with white fronts. As the gentoo penguin waddles along on land, its tail sticks out behind, sweeping from side to side, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, which means "rump-tailed".[15]

Gentoos reach a height of 51 to 90 cm (20 to 35 in),[16][17] making them the third-largest species of penguin after the emperor penguin and the king penguin. Males have a maximum weight of about 8.5 kg (19 lb) just before molting, and a minimum weight of about 4.9 kg (11 lb) just before mating. For females, the maximum weight is 8.2 kg (18 lb) just before molting, but their weight drops to as little as 4.5 kg (9.9 lb) when guarding the chicks in the nest.[18] Birds from the north are on average 700 g (1.5 lb) heavier and 10 cm (3.9 in) taller than the southern birds. Southern gentoo penguins reach 75–80 cm (30–31 in) in length.[19] They are the fastest underwater swimmers of all penguins, reaching speeds of up to 36 km/h (22 mph).[20] Gentoos are well adapted to extremely cold and harsh climates. wikepedia
Well, after recognizing what I have Flickr all to thank for, I decided not to stay away completely. As long as my time allows it I will post some new or old work, but only in irregular intervals.
And forgive me if I not frequently comment & fave your work. Love it anyway :)

If you have followed me on Flickr for a long time, you will certainly recognize this cliff overlook. I have spent numerous days and nights over the past 5 years up at this spot in Utah photographing the milky way and sunrise. I'm always shifting my compositions a bit to include different rock formations in the foreground. This particular image was captured in 2019. Luckily, the clouds started to clear at about 3:30am which gave me an opportunity to capture the early season milky way in April. There were just the 2 of us up there throughout the early morning hours. I photographed the foreground just as the sun threw the first rays of light on the cliff edges. Like we usually do, we scouted the area during the day to find our compositions, and then in the dark of the morning at about 2:00am, tried to find the exact spots again. That's never particularly easy. Once set up, it's time to shoot the sky and enjoy the amazing quiet under the stars. This was a time blend of 2 images. (This was before I started stacking sky images for noise reduction.)

Memphis recognized P.E.O. lighting up the bridge once every half hour with PEO colors of white and yellow in honor of their Day of Service. That was quite an honor and we say, "Thank you"!
Thank you for stopping by.

Alex Scaner has been part of the urban art scene since the late 90’s, when he was graffiti artist in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district. The versatile artist likes to mix different techniques: collage, rolls, aerosols or felt pens. His creations are complex and colorful. Considered one of the leaders in the street art movement, his tag “His inimitable” is one of the most recognizable in the city.
Sadly, he passed away last year following a long battle with cancer.
