Pretty much all that is in this shot no longer exists as seen here. These semaphores have long ago been removed and the Santa Fe leader has long been repainted. In fact pretty much all that exists on this line is twice a day Amtrak. Model, CO 6.18.00

Delicate Arch as viewed from the longer, more strenuous hike to reach the arch itself with the LaSal Mountains as a backdrop....and yes, I did remove all the touristas as they detracted from the beauty of the scene; LOL!!!! Edward Abbey offers a pretty interesting way of describing this natural phenomenon.....
"There are several ways of looking at Delicate Arch. Depending on your preconceptions you may see the eroded remnants of a sandstone fin, a giant engagement ring cemented in rock, a bow-legged pair of petrified cowboy chaps, a triumphal arch for a procession of angels, an illogical freak, a happening.... If Delicate Arch has any significance it lies, I will venture, in the power of the odd and unexpected to startle the senses and surprise the mind out of their ruts of habit, to compel us into a reawakened awareness of the wonderful-that which is full of wonder."

Sometimes you need to think inside the box.
To get this shot, I had to remove the lens and then resemble camera inside the light pole.
Recent shots from Glencoe. Enjoy folks. Happy weekend :)
Uploaded this again as removed a couple of dust spots.

I removed a ceiling light fixture, inserted the camera in the glass bowl, and explored the subtle variations when it was backlit by different window light sources.
A re-edit of a shot from 2011. Originally meant as a five-exposure HDR, but this time edited as a single exposure in Capture One Pro. Minor reflections were removed in Photoshop.
This pretty geyser is indeed, solitary, all by itself, located a short hike from either the Upper Geyser Basin boardwalk or on the way up or down the trail from Observation Point. This is one of those geysers that people tampered with way back when they didn't understand geysers or geology that well. They wanted to use the hot spring water so they put a pipe in it, which lowered the water level several feet and caused the then-hot spring to turn into a geyser that erupted every few minutes. They removed the pipe and the water level rose again, but it continued to be a geyser that now erupts every 5-7 minutes (give or take). It's not a huge geyser, though. It sort of "burbles" and erupts about 3-4 feet (so the nearby sign says). It was difficult to even see it erupt on that chilly day because of all the steam. I could only tell it was going to erupt by watching for ripples in the water, which occurred just before that "burble" of an eruption.

from Explore. The pic of my son poking his head through an otter head hole, with the private bits of the otter next to him pixelated has been removed from Explore in the infinite wisdom of Flickr reacting to the censorship issues involving our friends from Germany, Singapore, Korea and China. Ah well, so it goes...

As we look through the windows of our eyes, if we remove the filters that have been built up since we were baby's, we find that there is a lot more beauty and love out there than we though possible!
That parking spot from yesterday wasn't good. I had to remove the X-wing early this morning before traffic pours in. Took a photo before liftoff though.
Far removed from the wilds of British Columbia, former BC Rail C40-8M #4609 heads up Canadian National train M337. The train left Hawthorne (greater Chicagoland) a few hours ago and the train is now about to shatter the silence of Seward, IL as it makes its evening run across northern Illinois via the Freeport and Dubuque Subdivisions.
It is the largest member of the water lily family. The lily pads are up to 8 feet across and the large white to pink blooms are very fragrant, having a sweet pineapple-like scent on the first day of is two day lifecycle. Only blooming for a few days, the flowers will open at night on the first day being white, then turn pink after being fertilized.
Giant Waterlily is one of two species in this genus and is not viviparous, meaning that the seeds do not develop before they detach from the parent plant. It is the largest member of the water lily family. The lily pads are up to 8 feet across and the large white to pink blooms are very fragrant, having a sweet pineapple-like scent on the first day of is two day lifecycle. Only blooming for a few days, the flowers will open at nighttime on the first day being white. When they open on the second night, they will be purple-red color and will have lost their scent.
Its leaves are rounded and upturned. It is supported by a ribbed underside and anchored to a submerged stalk, with the leaf floating on the water surface. The stalks can be up to 26 feet long and in nature will embed themselves in the lake or river bottom. This rapid growing plant can expand by up to 20 inches per day. While the upper surface has water repellent properties, the underside is protected from herbivorous fish by its sharp spines. Air becomes trapped between the ribs on the underside, which keeps it afloat.
It is suitable for large water gardens only and grown as an annual without winter protection. It grows best in quiet water as the backwaters of large rivers. In tropical zones, it can be grown as a perennial, where it will grow best when anchored in an organically rich loam. The water temperatures must remain above 75 degrees for the plant to remain as a perennial.
1' to 3' of quiet, still waters are the best growing conditions. In locations that have currents running through, or are subject to heavy winds should be avoided.
Seed can be started indoors in containers that are placed in water that has constant temperatures above 80 degrees. Outdoor planting can be done in late spring, when the water temperatures have reached a minimum of 70 degrees. The plants that are grown in containers are placed into the still waters in their containers. In areas that experience cooler winters, the containers can be removed and stored in a greenhouse in anticipation of the next outdoor season.
Pollination is achieved by the plant attracting beetles with its scent of the flower when it opens its first night. The flower will then close the next day, trapping the beetles. At that time, the plant will change from female to male and produces pollen. Opening again the next night as an unscented, red-purple flower, the beetle, that is now coated with pollen, is released. It will fly to the next white flower and repeat the pollination process. No known insect or disease problem are noted.

Message to Cleggon: Don't tamper with Democratic processes..NO to 55%
April 26 2010 : "It's now all becoming clear - the great plan of Nick Clegg's is becoming clear- he's only interested in one thing and that is changing our electoral system so that we have a permanent hung Parliament, we have a permanent coalition, we never have strong and decisive government."

Another five photos from my last drive, on 28 April. Harsh light and windy.
On 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.
I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.
So, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more shots with the SX60. I can't say that the photos from either camera came out as sharp as I would have liked - very bright out, and windy. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say. I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited.

Remove the pipes, houses and electrical poles and you are back 300 years. Though mostly flat, this is a popular place for mountain biking. laist.com/news/oc-returns-land-to-indigenous-communities?...
With my skirt removed, you can see the bodysuit I was wearing with it. I have a few of these as I find unlike other tops, everything stays in place giving me a nice constant smooth line.

The Croatian loco removes the Slovenian loco that has just brough the train from Ljubljana, as it cannot move forward under it own power, then shoves it back to the other end of the station ready for working back into Slovenia later once the same train has returned from Rijeka..
The suspenders can be removed, which I think is a nice feature. Almost makes the set look like a one-piece.
On a recent trip to Montreal I visited Parc Omega, which had a wonderful collection of animals. Elk and other deer species, as well as hogs, goats and assortment of other animals roam relatively free. Those with teeth, like this guy, were behind fences. I had to shoot this guy through a fence, the shadows of which I removed in PS, as well as some branches.
