A 1000' (304.8m) reel holding red leader film, normally used to signify the tail end.
Even though it's called leader, red brings up the rear, so to speak. It's just like previews, nicknamed trailers even though they appear before the movie (originally, they followed the movie, hence the name).
The October full moon is called the Harvest Moon as it signified the latest part of the year that American native Indians could harvest any crops before Winter set in. It was also called the Hunters Moon for those tribes whose food for the winter consisted mainly of wild animals they could kill before the snows came.

When Alcyone became a bird (Kingfisher in English), I imagine she came with her beloved Ceyx and settled near this coastal path. It is the path of Alcyone. The history of Alcyone is well known. Alcyone and Ceyx were a couple, so beloved, that even the gods envied their happiness and beauty, which was unparalleled. But once Ceux humorously called Alcyone as Hera and then Alcyone called the Ceyx as Zeus. The father of the gods, Zeus, was angry, when he heard his own name and the name of his wife, goddess Hera, from the mouth of this enviable couple. So he watched Ceyx and the other day caused an accident on a boat trip.
The lovely Alcyone was waiting day after day for her husband. Goddess Hera felt profound sorrow for her and the tragic fate of Ceyx. She sent her messenger Iris, goddess of the rainbow, to look for Hypnos, the god of Sleep and comforter of the afflicted, to whom was assigned the mission of gently informing Alcyone about the death of her husband. Hypnos, in his turn, was very sorrow to inform and in his turn entrusted the mission to his son Morpheus, an expert in forming visions.
Morpheus created a life-like specter of Ceyx which revealed everything to Alcyone. “My love, I am dead. I always love you”. He explained the tragic circumstances concerning the shipwreck and his death. In profound grief, Alcyone ran to the seashore beating her breasts and tearing her garments. She suddenly beheld the body of a man that had been washed ashore. Coming closer, she realized it was the body of her beloved Ceyx. After performing the last rites and unable to continue living without her husband, Alcyone threw herself into the sea and got drowned, determined to join her husband in the land of the dead.
The gods on mountain Olympus were sad and profoundly affected by the tragic fate of Alcyone and Ceyx, as well as their wonderful love for one other which not even the frosty hands of death could extinguish. In order to atone for his rash action that was responsible for this tragedy, Zeus transformed the couple into the Halcyon birds (kingfisher).
The myth lives till today between the people of my country. The Greeks even today say the phrase "halcyon days". This phrase owes its origin to this beautiful myth of Alcyone and Ceyx. According to the legend and for the fact that fathers love so much their daughters, for two weeks every January, Aeolus, father of Alcyone, calms down the winds and the waves so that Alcyone, in the form of a kingfisher bird, can safely make her nest on the beach and lay her eggs. Hence, the term "halcyon days" comes to signify a period of great peace and calm!

The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt’s shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big “T” (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality.[1] The company's hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor Corporation, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo Trucks, Inc.[2]
During World War II, Diamond T produced a prototype of a heavy truck in the 980/981, a prime mover which was adapted and quickly acquired by the British Purchasing Commission for duty as a tank transporter tractor. Coupled with a Rogers trailer, the truck gave sterling service with the British Army in North Africa Campaign, where its power and rugged construction allowed the rescue of damaged tanks in the most demanding of conditions.[3] [citation needed] In addition Diamond T built the entire range of the G509 series 4 ton 6X6s, including cargo, dump, semi tractor, and wrecker trucks,[4] as well as some lighter trucks, and even G7102 half tracks.[5] Diamond T ranked 47th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[6] Diamond T manufactured three pickup trucks: The Model 80,201 and the Model 202. The pickups were powered by the Hercules QX-series 6-cylinder engines. The model 80 was produced from 1936 to 1938 and the Model 201 was produced from 1938 to 1949.
Commercial models
1928–1929 brought major mechanical improvements across the entire range. A closed cab with doors was introduced. All-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were used. Six-cylinder engines were available from Continental and Hercules for heavy trucks and a four-cylinder Buda powered light trucks. All trucks had geared-differential rear axles. By 1929 there were chassis load ratings (the weight of the body and payload) up to 12 tons (10,900 kg) on three axles.
1933–1935 In 1933 a new all-steel covered cab with doors and roll-up windows was introduced. In a 1935 model year style change it had been improved with a "streamlined" V-style windshield. This cab would be used on commercial and military trucks until replaced in 1951. In 1935 the trucks were also improved mechanically and new models were introduced. They developed through the rest of the 1930s. In 1935, Diamond T sold 6454 units and in 1936 it increased to 8750 trucks [8]. In 1938, Diamond T sold 4393 units and in 1939 it increased to 5412 trucks [9]. In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced in 1940.
1940–1942 In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced. In 1942 improved models went into production and then stopped after only 530 units for military production of tactical trucks and half-tracks.
1946–1947 Production of commercial trucks was stopped for military production in 1942. A small number of commercial trucks began to be built in 1944 and more in 1945. In 1946, the first year of full commercial production, there were five models, in 1947 there were fourteen. After World War II heavy trucks were measured by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the total weight of the chassis, body, and payload. In 1947 there were chassis rated from 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) to 36,000 pounds (16,000 kg) with conventional, sleeper, and COE models. Annual model changes were discontinued and many models continued unchanged until 1950. Gasoline and diesel engines were offered by Continental, Cummins, and Hercules. Single and tandem rear axles were available in many wheelbases.

No significant changes to this fountain after a major make over of the Suntec Mall. The light shows nightly seems to be loosing its attraction compared to before.
ABOUT THE FOUNTAIN OF WEALTH:
The Fountain of Wealth symbolizes wealth. In Chinese culture, water symbolizes wealth and life and the inward movement of water signifies the preservation of wealth for Suntec City. During certain periods of the day, the main fountain is turned off, so visitors are able to walk around a mini fountain at the center of the fountain’s base for good luck. At night, the fountain is the setting for laser performances, as well as “live” song and laser message dedications.

Black Redstart, juvenile I believe. Czech: rehek domácí. It is said that the Redstart bird is a symbol of transformation and new beginnings. The bird's presence in folklore often signifies a period of renewal and change in life.
Now it takes TWO rebuilt GP9's to build a train in the yard that stretches east from the Western Division headquarters. A change was taking place, signified by the presence of those blue boxcars for hauling woodchips, from Whitewood, So.Dak., to the Consolidated Paper mill in Wisconsin Rapids. Little did I know that in three years I'd be seeing them at the other end of their route. These cars used to head east from Rapid City on the line to Winona, Minn., and on to Adams, Wisc., before being sent up to "Rapids." Now they were being sent down to Chadron and east to Wisconsin via the "Cowboy." I assume that once they got into Iowa, they would head up the former Rock Island to intersect with their former routing, and east to the paper mill. By this time the C&NW was seeking to end service on the "PRC" (Pierre to Rapid City), so traffic was being diverted. Money was being poured into this end of the railroad; I recall being told that the ties were from more heavily used parts of the C&NW. They might have been too worn out for those mainlines farther east, but in better shape than the ties - or the remains of them - that were being replaced. And rock ballast was being poured into a roadbed that was badly in need of it. Things were looking good for a "Cowboy" line rehab! For now.
This design signifies honesty in the Awen’ art sculpture. It represents the herbacious vegetation that is easy to identify and includes good edible foods and medicinal plants. The pattern was inspired by wild strawberry seeds. The way the shadows appeared on the poles made it very dark with the sun at this angle. I love the bold contrast the light created.

_ The Politics and the Passion _
Some artists who design and create these murals across the country prefer to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. The process of creating a mural takes time, and while a traditional artist is safe in their own studio,the street artist has a minefield of social and political issues to address ...
‘' If these walls could talk ... " A statement animated and invigorated in the murals of Belfast "
The historical ones are brilliant especially If you don't know much about "the troubles" ( Na Trioblóidí ) and the ethno-nationalist conflict in NI during the late 20th century.
Murals or ‘murials’ as they are often wrongly labelled in the Ulster vernacular, have become one of Northern Ireland’s top tourist attractions.
The pride instilled in the production of the opposing political murals embodies the maxim repeated across Northern Ireland :
"Some gave All and All gave some". Whether Loyalist or Republican,both sides lost cherished members in defence of the crown or in defence of an autonomous Ireland.
Most mural attempt to demonstrate what the artist perceives to be the correct.They reflect the troubled history of Northern Ireland in a glaring and overwhelming fashion.
Republican murals and the Loyalist equivalents are known for exuding a more defiant and militaristic tone.Perhaps a cathartic and reactionary outlet for frustration and change.
Yet,they are an important part of the NI heritage and culture and give so much colour and vibrancy in the identity of the city.
But there’s a new kind of cultural expression in the city which is not only about the troubled past but one which is more forward looking and more positive sending out powerful messages.
“Northern Ireland's mural painting tradition dates back to 1908 and is the oldest continuous one in the world.In 1981 there was an explosion of republican murals due to the culmination of the hunger-strikes.
After the 1994 ceasefires and the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 painters in republican areas decided not to paint hooded gunmen any more. The guns are still there, but only in murals with historical or remembrance themes.They are open books of contemporary history.
Respect to all the political figures who wrote contemporary history,no matter our beliefs and our political positions ...
"The soul exceeds its circumstances". Yes.
History not to be granted the last word

The chital, commonly referred to as the spotted deer, is a medium-sized deer native to the Indian subcontinent. It is recognized for its captivating spotted coat, which varies in shades from light brown to reddish-brown. Its antlers are notable for their size and graceful curvature, with multiple branches that gracefully extend outward and upward. These antlers not only signify its strength and dominance but also play a role in attracting mates and safeguarding its territory.
With alert, pricked-up ears, the chital possesses excellent hearing, enabling it to detect potential predators from a considerable distance. Its bright eyes are adapted for both daytime and nighttime vision. When holding its head high, the chital exudes an air of confidence and majesty, a posture often associated with dominant males.
These sociable creatures live in herds and primarily subsist on a herbivorous diet, feasting on grasses, leaves, and fruits. Renowned for their grace and agility, chital are also known for their remarkable speed, reaching up to 50 miles per hour in full sprint, making them one of the fastest deer species on the planet.
Daffodils are by far my favourite flowers of the year. Their arrival signifies new hope and the approach of better weather. They always lift my sprits from the gloom of winter.

Interestingly, the feathers around the beak are drawn forward signifying a relaxed state. A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests. 7914
This collection of headstones neatly tucked against the wall reminded me of a family of chess pieces, and I suppose they do signify the absuloute final move of the game.

Apparently, some 'serious' photographers find the bluebell season 'controversial', but I always look forward to it. The appearance of bluebells and tree foliage signifies the end of dormancy and generates feelings of optimism about the months ahead.
Diwali one of the largest and brightest festivals in India, spiritually signifies the victory of good over evil. Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali !
A door can symbolize many things in our lives.
It can be something that represents the hope of possibilities;
the promise of new opportunity. It can convey the idea of change or transition. Sometimes it signifies prevention.
We often use the expression, 'when one door closes, another one opens' and it seems to be a truism in life. We think we know exactly what we want to do, or have, but despite our best efforts and how frequently we try to smash our way through, the door remains firmly shut. That's when frustrations can be calmed with the notion that perhaps there's something better ahead than we're presently aware of if we're patient and vigilant.
The phrase, 'the door of opportunity' is another truism and sometimes when we think back on our lives we can see where we successfully took advantage of the moment and the opportunity presented to us. Conversely, one of life's regrets can be the open door we ignored.
"What's it going to take to open the closed door?" We know we need, or want, to get to a certain position but some type of key is required. Many times that becomes a time of emotional, spiritual or intellectual pursuit of an answer to a mystery.
I suppose it's also true that doors can be the stuff of nightmares. What frightening thing is on the other side? But for the mostpart, at least to my way of thinking, a door can be a golden opportunity.

This was supposed to be a collab to signify the end of The Survivors RPG. However after a few months most people have slowly dropped out due to personal reasons. Im still extremely happy to finally be able to show this to you all. I built for about two weeks nonstop when I wasn't working. I tried to pack as much detail as I could into this and didnt want to leave anything feeling empty. I think I'm riding the line on having too much in the end but... its fine for what I like. I hope its what you like too!! The story behind the build is that my sig-fig (Cray) and The Survivors push into this command center to extract coordinates for the high ranking Imperial Officer in charge for enslaving the Wookiees. Thank you for taking to time to check out this build. Always extremely appreciated.
Thank you for a year of inspiration, support, lovely words in your comments, for the chance to learn from your fantastic contributions to this huge group. I am happy to be part of it and I am looking forward to a new year of foto adventures with you.
Have a great New Year's Eve and a healthy and happy 2020 full of light and new ways to walk with your cameras.

The following practices and traditions are associated with the beginning of the new year in German-speaking countries:
Bleigießen (pron. BLYE-ghee-sen)
“Lead pouring” (das Bleigießen) is an old practice using molten lead like tea leaves to predict the future. This process is called “molybdomancy” in English. A small amount of lead or tin is melted in a tablespoon (by holding a flame under the spoon) and then poured into a bowl or bucket of water. The resulting pattern is interpreted to predict the coming year. For instance, if the lead forms a ball (der Ball), that means luck will roll your way. The shape of an anchor (der Anker) means help in need. But a cross (das Kreuz) signifies death. For more, see our Bleigießen page with sample videos and links to a Web page for more about the possible meanings (in German)."

Last year marked the Year of the Rat, the first animal on the Chinese zodiac, while 2021 will signify the Year of the Ox, the second in the cycle. Some view the ox as being symbolic of hardworking attitudes and reliability because of its role in agriculture. -- Google search by "ox year" ;-)
The Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the final rest of the soldier, and the duty of the dead. Ralph kindly posed for me in the light of a stained glass window. His grandmother's first fiancé died in France in 1917, his great uncle was a pilot who died in 1944. We have been fortunate to avoid a world war for nearly 80 years but will that last?
