Some danced, some lept and twirled, and others didn't even tap their feet. Flock ballet interactive installation, Trafalgar Square, London
Taken during a Meetup with the Cincinnati Camera & Photography Club held at E-Town Landfill & Recycling's yard in the North Bend suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
From the web:
"Bomag landfill compactors are multipurpose, heavy-duty machines that provide optimal utilization of capacity allowing the best possible compaction of household, construction and industrial waste materials.
The Bomag refuse compactor surpasses industry standards with its intelligent machine concepts and design making for a durable and efficient package for all landfill sites."
Another collection of People, Posters, Bikes and other things that I've seen in the streets plus a few shadows (these are harder to come by). Have a good weekend.
It was such a hot, hot day and I was envying that dog that was having so much fun in the water. His owner kept throwing out a stick and that "lucky dog" got to run out and swim to retrieve it. Several times the owner tried to leave, but the dog refused to get out - he did not want to stop playing! Just watching them put a smile on your face.
One of the last remaining P40s leads Amtrak 125 south toward Newport News. Since being bumped from Auto Train duties, these engines have dwindled to near-extinction with some cameo appearances on Virginia regional trains.
Been stuck at the house all morning waiting for a delivery, so I decided to really try and get to grips with the manual focus on my camera. What else was I going to photograph other than water droplets?! :-D Still can't fathom the MF though - sometimes it seems to do what I ask and other times it refuses, and I still can't seem to get quite as close as the 1cm it's meant to, most of the time. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can't work out what. I'll find out in September when we go back to French Photographic Holidays and I can ask an expert!!

"Kessie told me to check you out...."
January 21, 2019: While this one is similar to "Whiskers," it lacks his/her prominent black dot below the left eye. To be fair, that could have come in the month or so after this photo was taken, but I'm guessing this the fourth Harris's, which I have yet to name....
Taken at my studio. He refused to give me a clear full body shot so I made due with this head shot. He was calling to his mate who was in the forest calling to him. Looks like I'll have a mating pair again this year.
It seems that this church was restored by the communist state this way and the orthodox church of Bulgaria refused to use it. It works as a museum now.
The streets were filled with foliage and broken trees from the storm. Now it's organised in neat piles, and teams of council workers and army dudes(!?!) are going around and dealing with it.
another one from my early morning puddle reflection sortie.
as I waited for an uninterrupted view on the street I heard the rumble of a truck moments before it came into view, I rallied to the challenge of tweeting the camera settings in just five or six seconds to capture the moving vehicle in the dawn light.
Rather than being an annoyance to the street it adds a Wonderfull feeling of reality to the early morning setting. The driver was most curtious and careful to avoid the puddle in which my camera was located, Thankyou.
The irony was that I crouched next to the bins which this truck was on its way to empty. I was subsequently able to relocate the bins and progress with my session with more of the puddle in view.
"Qué difícil habitar la piel de los otros; y qué necesario. Imaginar el sufrimiento cotidiano de los 60 millones de personas sin raíces y forzados a dejar sus hogares que buscan un lugar en el mundo".

In autumn (and perhaps increasingly) we are visited by accidental HASPs. This is the first time, however, I've been able to photograph one of them. It appears that there are three juveniles in this group which has occupied this location since December 5. I've seen them before, but today was THE DAY this one (and the sun) chose to cooperate. Because this is such a special occasion, I'm presenting four different views of this friendly little fella/gal....
January 21 update: Now have a name for this one: "Whiskers" distinguished by some black in his/her bib and a distinct black dot under the left eye....
Nature...you have to take what you can!
This was my closest encounter with a stunning Giant Kingfisher...keeping herself well hidden amongst the branches. Just a hint of her rich chestnut belly feathers are visible on her leg....if only she'd turned!! And moved to a less cluttered location! 😁
The Giant Kingfisher visits rivers, streams, lakes, dams and even mountain streams with marginal wooded areas, both in forests and savannahs. It is also found in seaside lagoons, mangroves, inlets and seashores. It can be seen up to 100 metres from the water.
In 1955, the late TRAINS Magazine editor, David P. Morgan, wrote what would become one of the greatest pieces of railroad literature in history - an article titled "The Mohawk That Refused to Abdicate." While relatively short, it covered the story of a worn out New York Central Mohawk locomotive on one of its last runs during the final days of steam.
Twenty years later, it and several other articles were compiled to create a book of the same name. This book and the initial article were the inspiration for me to pick up photography and writing.
Today (October 9, 2024), it was announced that another Mohawk is refusing to abdicate. The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society has acquired this locomotive, No. 3001, which is one of only two surviving Mohawks. Currently displayed in Elkhart, Indiana, it will soon be moved to FWRHS' shop in New Haven for a full restoration to operating condition (as funding allows).
Since my career more or less started from a picture and article about a Mohawk still going strong in the age of diesels, news that this will continue with No. 3001 is very exciting for me, and I know I'm not the only one who can't wait to see it run again. It is no doubt that David P. Morgan would also be very pleased.
Pictured here is No. 3001 as it appeared in early 2024.

The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is a "Heritage Grand" class five-star hotel located in the Colaba region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, next to the Gateway of India. Historically it was known as the "Taj Mahal Hotel" or the "Taj Palace Hotel".[4] or simply "the Taj". The hotel's original building was commissioned by Tata and first opened its doors to guests on 16 December 1903.
It is widely believed that Jamsetji Tata decided to build the hotel after he was refused entry to one of the city's grand hotels of the time, Watson's Hotel, as it was restricted to "whites only"...The Taj Mahal Tower, an additional wing of the hotel, was opened in 1973 - Wikipedia
Now for the pizza lover, it's rest, relaxation and a large chicken pizza. Who says hard work never pays off?
Caught in the act of blatant corruption!? (Just for the record, London happens to be one of the cleanest cities I have ever visited; a far cry from New York City, my (childhood) home town. The photo is entirely intended as tongue-in-cheek humor. I adore London!).
