This hawk picked a perch that was just a bit too thin to support his/her weight. It took a while but eventually equilibrium was found and order was restored.
A number of contacts have recently been on trips down their memory lanes. This, together with several mentions of George Best on Gary's stream, prompted me to have another rummage around the attic.
This is my membership card from Slack Alice's, commonly known in Manchester as Slack's. Owned and frequented by George Best, the greatest footballer I have ever seen play live, it was a classic rather upmarket disco in which I spent far too many late nights and early mornings during the 1970's.
Here is one of the numerous floor-fillers of the time.

And no, I didn't have a Saturday Night Fever white suit 'cos by the time that filM was released Punk was smashing it's wicked way across Britain.
"Sexy....
Woman, take me in your arms
Rock your baby
Woman, take me in your arms
Rock your baby
There's nothin' to it
Just say you wanna do it
Open up your heart
And let the lovin' start
(Chorus)
Yeah, hold me tight
With all your might
Now let your lovin' flow
Real sweet and slow
(Chorus + repeats)"

I talked with this gentleman while he was taking a water break. He told me this was "slack-line walking", it is "Awesome" and when I asked him who was the best at it, he told me he was (and after watching, he was telling the truth). He was working on going from standing to sitting on the line and then do a handstand.
I'm too frustrated shooting rodeo at night under inadequate stadium lights. So, I went to Slack today. Enough light to satisfy my voracious lumen appetite. The only problem - no roughstock....

WEEK 46.2 – Horn Lake OfficeMax Closing, One Year Anniversary
Eh, I can't criticize these letter tray stackers of being slackers too much – more accurately, it's just that nobody bought them. This image from last Halloween shows that these things had been hanging on for quite some time, considering this branding look had changed to incorporate the more trendy minimalistic style and such with the rubberband ball logo. See here for examples, or, alternatively and more amusingly, here :P

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

Great shot of me and Ken bursting out from under Beeches Road bridge with no 6990 'Witherslack Hall'. We had very dusty Welsh coal in the tender and the pressure was a bit slow to come round after standing for an hour in the station but once the engine got hot she steamed like a dream - and sounded great too.
Great Central Railway Autumn Gala.
Under normal conditions, the Assiniboine River is a slow, meandering waterway, but recent rains (and snow to the west) has resulted in a more turbulent flow.
This male wood duck found a place to rest in more slack water near shore. The early morning light was sublime today, but there is more rain in the forecast for the rest of the weekend :(
Walking along the beaches of LA is quite an experience. There is no such thing as a tall poppy syndrome in the good old city of angels, and definitely no shortage of self confidence. This guy was one of a group of kids absolutely going hell for leather on the slack line. A slack line is basically a "slack" tight-rope a few feet from the ground. It is a feat to even balance and walk on one, let alone flip in the air like this dude. Shrinking violets need not apply as the whole beach is watching!!
Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and awarding my picture!!!
