This is a 8 image stitch (2 rows of 4) images shot with a Toyo View 45 CX, Calumet Caltar S-II 135mm lens, Fotodiox Rhinocam, and a Sony A6000.
Photoshop and PTGUI refused to put this together. It required manual stitching. Thanks to Sean at Fotodiox for the idea and tutorial.

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.
"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.
A pair of Banksy Art Posters, one showing Queen Victoria, possibly because she refused to pass the law outlawing Lesbianism !

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.

Daffodil, or botanically Narcissus, is March's celebrated flower. Daffodils are the mark of spring and usually known by white or yellow petals surrounding a yellow, pink or white center.
Narcissus is named after the character from Greek mythology who was said to have been so in love with his own reflection that he was turned into a flower. It is said that these flowers appear to face downward because Narcissus refused to look up from his own image reflected in the stream where he became frozen and withered in time.
The first woman we were searching was dead, the second we found was ill and i refused to take any picture of her, the third, on the picture, was very happy to meet a foreigner, it was the first time she had such a visit. She has the face totally tattooed in black. It was a tradition in the Chin state of Myanmar. She said it was just normal to be like this at this time as any woman with white face was seen as ugly! Few hours from Mindat and after thousands of curves in the hills, Myanmar...
The Alyscamps is a large Roman necropolis, one of the most famous necropolises of the ancient world.
Located outside the city of Arles.
The name is a corruption of the Latin Elisii Campi(that is, Champs-Élysées or Elysian Fields). They were famous in the Middle Ages and are referred to by Ariosto in Orlando Furioso and by Dante in the Inferno.
Roman cities traditionally forbade burials within the city limits. It was therefore common for the roads immediately outside a city to be lined with tombs and mausoleums; the Appian Way outside Rome provides a good example. The Alyscamps was Arles' main burial ground for nearly 1,500 years. It was the final segment of the Aurelian Way leading up to the city gates and was used as a burial ground for well-off citizens, whose memorials ranged from simple sarcophagi to elaborate monuments.
The Alyscamps continued to be used after the city was Christianised in the 4th century. Saint Genesius, a Roman civil servant beheaded in 303 for refusing to follow orders to persecute Christians, was buried there and rapidly became the focus of a cult. Saint Trophimus, possibly the first bishop of Arles, was buried there soon afterwards. It was claimed that Christ himself attended the ceremony, leaving the imprint of his knee on a sarcophagus lid.
The area became a highly desirable place to be buried and tombs soon multiplied. As early as the 4th century there were already several thousand tombs, necessitating the stacking of sarcophagi three layers deep. Burial in the Alyscamps became so desirable that bodies were shipped there from all over Europe, with the Rhône boatmen making a healthy profit from the transportation of coffins to Arles.
The Alyscamps continued to be used well into medieval times, although the removal of Saint Trophimus' relics to the cathedral in 1152 reduced its prestige. During the Renaissance the necropolis was systematically looted, with city councillors giving sarcophagi as gifts to distinguished visitors and local people using funerary stones as building material. It was further damaged by the arrival of the railway and a canal in the 19th century, both of which sliced across the site.
In late October 1888 Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin chose the Alyscamps as the first site for their expeditions where they painted side by side.
It has since been somewhat restored as an open-air museum.
I wanted to take some photos of Fynn in the garden but my photo model refused to leave the porch. The sun had come out for a moment and it was quite warm, very humid too, and Fynn doesn't like that. That's why I had to change my plans and take my photo on the porch although some flowers would have made a nicer backdrop than a table and chairs.
Taken a while ago at Alner's Gorse, not been doing much lately due to extremes in temperature. I quite like warm weather, but refuse to poach.
Almost done with the first texture base pack you get with the purchase (fitmesh one size object) .
My RL net company dumped me after just paying my bill then tried refusing me a refund, after much fuss they finally gave me my full refund back. (Btw americans do NOT go with Clear internet... 3yrs of loyal payments to them and they screw me over taking the tower away and never telling someone!)
So right now I'm on my parents internet while I finish this project up, I think I'm about done! I love love love how this is coming out and I couldn't be happier as a month of meshing this beauty out and I have worked so hard to every little detail!
I hope you guys like, there will be different HUDS available for the skirt, sweater, tie The shirt base color HUD will come with the base package to change into like rainbow o colors. I might eventually do striped versions of the shirt! Let me know what you think!

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!).
The rich colours of damp brickwork and a family of refuse sacks patiently awaiting a day out on the dustcart.
One I forgot to post ages ago.

Tesseracts and other shapes within them selves revealing imagination and potential.
Maybe we can all agree to disagree that there was, “There was a crooked man,” or at least hold different notions of who the original is and how other visionaries have seen within the, “little crooked house.” One starting point could be, “—And He Built a Crooked House—,” by Robert A. Heinlein first published in, “Astounding Science Fiction,” in February 1941.
There again that work looks in on this one,
There was a crooked man and he went a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all liv'd together in a little crooked house.
James Orchard Halliwell set this in print in, “The Nursery Rhymes of England,” 1842 followed in 1849 with, “Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales,”this was a sequel to, “The Nursery Rhymes of England.” Halliwell was banned from The British Museum suspected of taking documents from Trinity College, Cambridge, no prosecution ensued, but even his father in law a noted bibliophile refused to see him, or his daughter again. Halliwell literally created books within books and pages coming from and leading off to further illumination as he cut from old books and made scrapbooks of his cuttings. The destructive process of his book cutting and pasting was enough to close doors and have him excluded from rooms whilst he made new perspectives and gave food to fuel imagination opening doors that others could never follow him through.
I feel sure that there are those still enraged by his actions.

This was my highest positioned Explore photo. Not even a macro which is my passion.

I shot this picture in 2008
This guy was trying to get his horse to go across the bridge so he could meet the 2nd Line, but the horse was very adamant about not going across the bridge. He told me that the horse went before, but there were other horses crossing at the time. It probably remembers how slippery the iron grate is. It was a funny scene.

Brussels manufactory - Tapestry depicting Elisha refusing the gifts of Naaman (1550-1560) - wool/silk loom work measures: 404 cm x 350 cm - Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco Milan
L''arazzo illustra l'incontro tra Eliseo e Naaman, capo dell'esercito del re di Siria, quando il profeta rifiutò i doni offertigli dal condottiero. Nella parte sinistra dell'arazzo è raffigurato Naaman, coperto da un veste rosata e da un mantello blu, con un turbante sul capo. Egli cammina verso Eliseo, posto sulla destra, indicandolo. Naaman offre al profeta dei doni: i dromedari, i buoi e le greggi che sono raffigurati sullo sfondo e verso cui Eliseo apre la mano sinistra. La mano destra aperta di Eliseo sembra indicare il suo rifiuto.
The tapestry illustrates the encounter between Elisha and Naaman, leader of the army of the king of Syria, when the prophet refused the gifts offered to him by the leader. The left side of the tapestry depicts Naaman, covered in a rosy robe and blue cloak, with a turban on his head. He walks toward Elisha, placed on the right, pointing at him. Naaman offers the prophet gifts: the dromedaries, oxen and flocks that are depicted in the background and toward which Elisha opens his left hand. Elisha's open right hand seems to indicate his rejection.
Collected in Scotland in 2013 but never seen the light of day or taste of lips! From left to right - and add at least eight years now - even though I guess it wasn't further aged in the wood.
- Balvennie Doublewood aged 12 years
- Dewars Aberfeldy 12 years
- Glenfiddich Valley of the Deer aged 15 years.
What to do on a wet and grey Australia Day perhaps.
But here's my admission. Neither of us drink much at all in the way of alcohol, and certainly not Whiskey with or without an "e"! Not even Bourbon. My first headache was caused by Scotch and unlike Lot's wife, I refused to look back, ever. But yes, it's all genuine of course but the only place we visited of the three was Dewars in the delightful village of Aberfeldy. And horror of horrors, none have or will be opened, the crystal contains something I do like, Lady Grey tea. A prop like they use on TV!
On a fine winter's day, standing sentinel over the Calder Valley is the elegant Stoodley Pike Monument, a 121' high stone structure completed in 1856 and replacing a monument built some 40 years earlier celebrating the defeat of Napoleon.
Visible from miles away it's a familiar sight both to locals, and hikers from further afield lying as it does on the 270 mile Pennine Way walk between Edale in Derbyshire and Kirk Yetholm in Scotland. For the latter it represents a fine resting spot after a long day walking the peat moors in these parts before making the trek downhill to the fleshpots of Hebden Bridge and a decent night's rest. In fact the Monument contains an unlit spiral staircase that leads to a balcony on the west face, some 40' above ground level - those with surplus energy (and a torch) can enjoy an even better view over Calderdale towards Todmorden and the westerly extremes of Yorkshire.
Not all walkers will be dwelling though. The "Howarth Hobble" challenge walk, an event for teams of two in mid-March, also passes this point on its 32 mile circuit. With 4400' ascent and a time limit of 10 hours for completion, competitors generally have their heads down and by this point, circa 19 miles into the route, are maybe even daring to dream about the finish and the meat pie and mushy peas that will greet them back in Howarth. Most normal folk complete the course in 8-10 hours, but the winning team gets around in a mind-boggling 4 hours!
Well I wasn't up to much hiking today but, while waiting for my snapping target, had at least time to dwell on the dozen or so times I've enjoyed the view from up there. Indeed, if you look carefully, you'll see at least one hiker stood beside the monument no doubt taking in the splendid scenery.
If it's the train that interests you, well it's the 07.20 Wilton EFW Terminal - Knowsley Freight Terminal (6F16) domestic and industrial waste in the hands of DBS Shed 66034, approaching Todmorden. And who knows, maybe carrying some of your Christmas garbage.......?
