At least the Venetian equivalent of a street scene. The Grand Canal is the main street. Gondola (taxi) coming in to tie up (park). The vaporetto (bus) station across the canal. Rialto Bridge crowded with tourists.
Quite a contrast to my previous photo of the rock formations in Utah, but I love them both!
Much more to see!
One of Ray Gell's images that really brings home the amount of work needed to restore even a small locomotive. There was nothing on the slide, but I'm guessing early Bluebell Railway?
For the A3C3 monthly challenge, "crime scene". I'm offering 2 different photos. One is a real crime scene and this, which, of course, is totally bogus. The flash on the 4x5 graphic is fired with a wireless flash trigger attached to the Holga, which is more ridiculous than the photo itself.
It's that time of the year for fall colors.This was taken at the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, MI.
Quand la ville devient scène…
Le samedi 24 juin, des animations de rue ont été proposées. Le soir venu, on a été conviés à rejoindre la place du Poulinat pour un dîner sur l’herbe géant au son d’une batucada.
City Prowl top, Paparazzi Darling pants, Elusive Creature FR2 body. Removed the painted upper lashes.
Fully engaged with their behind-the-scenes tour of the American Museum of Natural History, delegates Angel Cabanilla, Solomon Goodwin, and Jace Taliaferro listen and learn, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Behind the scenes of my centenary shot... My work computer is much more powerful than my laptop, so I needed to finish it off there...
The scene of a stabbing in Salt Lake County Utah
Police say the men knew each other, and the victim was told not to come back to the house. The man that was stab
bed in the stomach is expected to survive his wounds.
This turns out to be a case of self defense.
A photo from the scene of a shooting involving a Metro police officer and a guy with a knife near Rice University and the Texas Medical Center yesterday.
After four months of darkness, the Sun finally rises on 11 August at Concordia research station in Antarctica. The crew are understandably reverent.
ESA-sponsored medical doctor Stijn Thoolen is part of the 12-member crew spending an entire year at Concordia. For nine months they are holding down the base in one of the most isolated, confined and extreme environments on Earth, with no way in or out of the station.
They run experiments in human physiology and biology, atmospheric physics, meteorology and astronomy, among other disciplines, as well as maintain the base – one of only three to run year-round on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Four months of complete darkness is quite the challenge, one researchers are very interested in studying from a physiological and psychological point of view. From questionnaires to blood and stool samples, the crew are poked and prodded to understand how better to prepare humans for deep space travel.
Social dynamics are also of interest to researchers during the period of darkness. Stress brought on by lack of sunlight, changing sleep patterns, fatigue and moodiness can affect the group. The crew are especially encouraged to take on group activities and get creative to combat the isolation of the winter.
The first sunrise is always a remarkable moment, signalling the home stretch of their Antarctic residency. From now on the winter crew will start preparing for summer and the return of scientists that arrive for the warmer months starting in November. The base is cleaned thoroughly, machinery is serviced, tents are erected and heated, and the runway is cleared of snow. Extensive work is required to welcome the new arrivals back to the base at the end of the world.
