Scott Fountain was built on Belle Isle with funds left to the city of Detroit by millionaire James Scott in 1910. The bequest was conditional: to receive the funds, the city also had to erect a life-size statue of Scott. This condition outraged the respectable citizens of Detroit; Scott was a playboy who played elaborate practical jokes, feuded with his neighbors, told dirty jokes, drank, gambled, and probably consorted with loose women. In spite of the controversy over honoring such a disreputable scoundrel, the fountain's supporters eventually prevailed. The fountain, designed by architect Cass Gilbert, was completed in 1925.

Scott Air Force Base (IATA: BLV, ICAO: KBLV, FAA LID: BLV) is a United States Air Force base in St. Clair County, Illinois, near Belleville and O'Fallon, 17 miles east-southeast of downtown St. Louis. Scott Field was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entered World War I in April 1917. It is headquarters of Air Mobility Command (AMC), and is also the headquarters of the U.S. Transportation Command, a Unified Combatant Command that coordinates transportation across all the services.
The base is operated by the 375th Air Mobility Wing (375 AMW) and is also home to the Air Force Reserve Command's 932d Airlift Wing (932 AW) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing (126 ARW), the latter two units being operationally gained by AMC.
The base currently employs 13,000 people, 5,100 civilians with 5,500 active-duty Air Force, and an additional 2,400 Air National Guard and Reserve personnel. It was announced in June 2014 that two new cybersecurity squadrons will be added to the three currently on base.
Its airfield is also used by civilian aircraft, with civilian operations at the base referring to the facility as MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. MidAmerica has operated as a Joint Use Airport since beginning operations in November 1997. Allegiant Air, the only commercial airline with scheduled flights at the airport, pulled out of the airport on January 3, 2009, but now has multiple nonstop destinations.

Nice Gothic Tower - I like how the white clouds and blue sky could represent the colours of the Scottish flag too.

Scott Monument in Edinburgh. Took three images and used HDR Efex Pro to merge them together. First time doing HDR - hopefully did not overdo the process.
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet FRSE FSA Scot was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, playwright and historian. Many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature.
Tried a bokeh panorama on Roffe's mountain bike while at the cafe yesterday afternoon. Wrong lens, should have used the 85mm, and not the nifty fifty, but it worked out okay, (ish), anyway.

Commemorating Captain Scotts expedition to Antarctica. A particularly misty morning in the park on Sunday.
1912: After much bad luck on the voyage southwards his sledge party consisting of himself, Edward Wilson, Lawrence Oates, H.R. Bowers and Edgar Evans set out across the snow and ice. They finally reached the Pole on the 18th January 1912 but found that they had been beaten there by one month by the Norwegian Expedition led by Roald Amundsen. Disappointed they turned back but faced severe blizzards and the illness of Evans and Oates who both died en route. Finally the remaining members of the team including Scott perished near the One Ton Depot in March, all succumbing to starvation and severe cold. Their bodies and significant diaries were found by a search party eight months later. Scott was Knighted posthumously because of his bravery and the Scott Polar Research Institute was established at Cambridge in his memory. Despite their failure to arrive at the South Pole first much important scientific findings had been made during the expeditions.

Monument to Sir Walter Scott
Following Scott's death in 1832, a competition was held to design a monument to him. An unlikely entrant went under the pseudonym "John Morvo", the name of the medieval architect of Melrose Abbey. Morvo was in fact George Meikle Kemp, forty-five-year-old joiner, draftsman, and self-taught architect. Kemp had feared his lack of architectural qualifications and reputation would disqualify him, but his design (similar to an unsuccessful one he had earlier submitted for Glasgow Cathedral) was popular with the competition's judges, and in 1838 Kemp was awarded the contract to construct the monument.
The tower was completed in the autumn of 1844, with Kemp's son placing the finial in August of the year. The total cost was just over £16,154. When the monument was inaugurated on 15 August 1846, George Meikle Kemp himself was absent; Kemp having fallen into the Union Canal while walking home from the site on the foggy evening of 6 March 1844 and drowned.

For the last few trips into Melbourne, I'd waited at this spot, under the awning of Flinders Street station. The harsh sun is cut off and a ton of light is reflected from the pathway. Next to the wall also cuts reflections to one side.
Scott is one of two that I shot close to each other. Neither of them wanted me to email the photo back to them. I considered making up something cool, like this guy's name is Boris, and he's just come back from a 6 month stint in the Antarctic. Or that he trains helper monkeys. That might be true. He didn't tell me much about himself.
Scott's Oriole (Icterus parisorum) male in the Cave Creek Canyon area near Portal in southeast Arizona. This area is located in the Coronado National Forest and on the east side of the Chiricahua Mountains.
This bird showed up at the lodge "Cave Creek Ranch", we were staying at for a few days but it only afforded me one opportunity to photograph it and this was the result, not exactly one of my better images but it is my only record of the species I can share with you.

I'm not a huge fan of the processing now that I look at it, but can't find the original...
"For some reason I never listed the Strobist info on this shot, and therefore never submitted to the pool, until now, 2 years later. If I had, and it had gotten deleted because of lack of info, I would've understood and simply fixed it. Kudos to Wiredfool and SteveKorn for all their modding generosity. "
