Trying second shutter setting - I think I like the 1/50 better less firework trails. Also fast enough that there is no camera shake for surrounding images.
Side note: I don't know how much of my tax dollars went into this display but I read that our town paid out $100,000 in legal fees after firing a local employee who refused get vaccinated during the covid outbreak (yes one of those idiots) then later sued our town through union for wrongful dismissal. So here are two examples of our tax dollars going up in smoke.

The black kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors. Their color ranges from light brown to dark brownish black.
This is predator bird which is found in many Indian cities
Black kites are most often seen gliding and soaring on thermals as they search for food. The flight is buoyant and the bird glides with ease, changing directions easily. They will swoop down with their legs lowered to snatch small live prey, fish, household refuse and carrion,
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."
The Tita Secchi bivouac is built entirely of wood and is located at the Portole pass which can be reached from the Maniva Pass.
It is dedicated to the memory of the Brescian partisan Tita Secchi killed at the age of 29 and his comrades in arms of the Perlasca Brigade.
Born in Bologna but raised in Brescia, great mountaineering enthusiast, he organized a partisan group of the Perlasca Brigade in the Bagolino area. Captured on August 26, 1944 following the fascist roundup, he had the opportunity to be released upon payment of a large sum by his family, but he refused, placing the condition that his comrades were also released.
He was shot in Brescia on September 16 with five other comrades.
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.
Outside my Window - is a dust-cart.
A company called Onyx has the contract to remove Sheffield's rubbish for the next 33 years (or something like that). This white truck that removes shop rubbish is either a sub-contractor or a vehicle hired in due to breakdowns. The term is "refuse collection" although a more accurate description could be "refuse distribution" as more of the rubbish seems to be distributed along the road and pavement than actually gets into the van.
Once on the pavement or road it is no longer bin collection rubbish but road rubbish and that is cleared up by the road cleaning team who rush up and down in miniature road sweeping wagons with double brushes on the front. To be fair it all gets collected eventually but with the basic wages paid to the "waste management operatives" or "dustmen" and "street sweepers" as we know them you cannot expect a great deal of pride in what they do.
Contracting out or "Privatisation by stealth" as we know it has meant that the work force has been pared to the bone and are forced to work at the trot to finish their allotted tasks in the time allowed.
Vulture is not a name that truly reflects the way this machine operates - "pack of wild dogs" may be a better description but even they would probably do a better job not leaving much mess than some of the "operatives" or "inoperatives," as they could be called, do.
That is if they actually turn up!
Seen in Stockholm, Sweden.
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.

A young woman with the local "burqa" ( the name of the mask) that still wear many married women in the area of Bandar Abbas and Minab in south Iran, on the persian gulf. The mask is a way for the women to feel confident and to feel beautiful as they use it in this way for many. The old women would never walk outside their house without it, they would feel naked they told me! In summertime, the mask is also a good way to avoid the sun on the face for many.
Those women keep a strong tradition, and i have decide to publish only pictures of women who allowed me to take their portrait. 70% refuse, 30 % are ok. Very few tourists visit this area, so it is important to show them that photographers can respect them.

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.

Après beaucoup de projets refusés, on opta en 1862 pour la construction de l’actuel bâtiment des » Bains » à Spa. L’inauguration eut lieu quatre années plus tard et dès la première année, on y donna plus de 22000 bains. Le bâtiment fut amélioré et agrandi en 1905,1914 et 1932. On y donnait toutes sortes de bains : des bains carbo-gazeux naturels, des bains de boue et même des bains d’eau de la Reine à laquelle on avait incorporé des émanations de radium (métal extrêmement radioactif, découvert en 1896 par Pierre et Marie Curie).Notons que ce dernier type de bain montre l’ignorance à l’époque, quant au danger que représentait le rayonnement radioactif. Une pareille pratique serait totalement impensable aujourd’hui.
After many rejected proposals, the current "Bains" building in Spa was finally chosen in 1862. It was inaugurated four years later, and in its first year alone, over 22,000 baths were given. The building was improved and enlarged in 1905, 1914, and 1932. All sorts of baths were offered: natural carbonated baths, mud baths, and even baths in Queen's Water, to which radium (an extremely radioactive metal discovered in 1896 by Pierre and Marie Curie) had been added. It's worth noting that this last type of bath demonstrates the ignorance at the time regarding the dangers of radioactive radiation. Such a practice would be completely unthinkable today.

The Western Treatment Plant is a wonderful place to see a range of raptors, but don't expect them to be always posing like this. This was shot from my bird-hide (my car) as we immediately stopped when we saw this fellow. It was a wonderful day of spotting birds, but over half my opportunities for photos were lost as the camera refused to focus, and when I did shoot, a great number were hopelessly blurred. I still had a lot of enjoyment and will keep fiddling with my controls. On Saturday last, I could only get it to take a single photo - the shutter button wouldn't respond, no matter how often or hard I pressed it.
Paramore - Misery Business
VERSE ONE:
I'm in the business of misery let's take it from the
top
She's gotta body like an hour glass that's ticking
like a clock
it's just a matter of time before we all run out
but when I thought he was mine she caught him by the
mouth
(PT.2):
I waited eight long months she finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me
two weeks and we had caught on fire
she's got it out for me but i wear the biggest smile
CHORUS:
No, I never meant to brag... but i got him where i
want him now.
Oh it was never my intention to brag... to steal it
all away from you now
But God does it feel so good cause I got him where I
want him now
if you could then you know you would
cause God it just feels so...
It's just feels so good.
VERSE TWO:
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never
change
Once a whore you're nothing more and you know that
will never change
and about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have
exchanged.
sorry honey but i passed it up, now look this way
(PT. 2):
Well, there's a million other girls that do it just
like you
looking as innocent as possible to get to who they
want and what they like
it's easy if you do it right
well i refuse, i refuse, i refuse.
CHORUS:
No, I never meant to brag... but i got him where i
want him now.
Oh it was never my intention to brag... to steal it
all away from you now
But God does it feel so good to take it all away from
you now
if you could then you know you would
cause God it just feels so...
It's just feels so good.
BRIDGE:
I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...
