A splash of color to start of the weekend! I really enjoy my Nikon 300mm F;/4 (especially with the 1,7 tc) it gives me a a new way of getting the shot I want and a new perspective at looking at things, as well as framing them. Not to mention the fact that 500mm (effectively if used with the 1,7tc) opens a new world of opportunities quite literally. Thanks for looking/favoring and commenting on my photographs and have a nice -photogenic- weekend.
Returning from our walk along the edge of the Manawatu River estuary recently, this small corrugated-iron hut didn't look to be much of a building - especially when compared to the big home behind it... However, the very colourful three-dimensional art work never-the-less made it a stand-out little building in its own right - and was certainly far more colourful than the rather drab-looking "mansion" behind it...!
(The roofline that appears to be hanging over the hut was (I think from memory) a part of the extensive 'patio' attached to the house behind!).
The building materials used for the hut might not have been the flashiest, but the artwork that adorned it can only be described as standout work...!
New Zealand moves to Daylight Saving Time at 2am tomorrow morning - which means, of course, that we lose out on an hour's sleep...! (Groan!).
Thanks for taking the time and the trouble to leave a Comment beneath this photo Folks! It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always very much appreciated...!

Pretty Valley, Falls Creek, Victoria AUS
Rising out from beneath the deep fog that had engulfed Pretty Valley where I'd been shooting earlier this particular morning lay this surprise.
I'd not been expecting to clear the fog at all, but scored & got really lucky - even more so that I managed to time it just right and had the sun crest over the hills to the left, bathing this shot in glorious warmth. Just enough fog lingered to give some interesting atmospheric effects and a feel of warm vs. cold too - got to love the high country!
Shiprock was such an imposing sight that I still cannot get it out of my mind.
I submit this photo for your inspection.
This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SO56•2C(YA3) filter using Rollei RPX 25 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals a glistening and ancient globular cluster named NGC 3201 — a gathering of hundreds of thousands of stars bound together by gravity. NGC 3201 was discovered in 1826 by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop, who described it as a “pretty large, pretty bright” object that becomes “rather irregular” towards its center.
Globular clusters are found around all large galaxies, but their origin and role in galaxy formation remain tantalizingly unclear. Astronomers recently discovered a black hole lurking at the heart of NGC 3201 — its position was revealed by the strange movements of a star being quickly flung around a massive, invisible counterpart. This sparkling group of stars also has some strange properties that make it unique amongst the more than 150 globular clusters belonging to the Milky Way. NGC 3201 has an extremely fast velocity with respect to the Sun, and its orbit is retrograde, meaning that it moves speedily in the opposite direction to the galactic center.
The unusual behavior of this cluster suggests that it may have extragalactic origins but at some point was captured by the Milky Way’s gravity. However, the chemical makeup of this intriguing cluster tells a different story — the stars within NGC 3201 are chemically very similar to those of other galactic globular clusters, implying that they formed at a similar location and time to their neighbors.

With autumn just around the corner, here is a shot from the archives or a white mum nestled in amongst a group of deep red ones.
Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend ahead :)
This little tree's golden foliage has been quite a standout this fall, especially on a dreary day like today.

Two standouts in the first crop of Sunflowers. Mid July. These were very tall. Some six feet or so. Shot with a polarizer late in the afternoon on a 100 degree + day. Have a Great Evening and thanks for the look.
The white winged Oculus is an organic form in the center of a new complex of towers, and memorial pools at the sites of the two that fell in 2001. As expected on such an emotionally charged site, the structure was not without its own controversy (it came to fruition seven years behind schedule and severely over budget, though much of the problem was due to owner holdups). However, the soaring form with its vast interiors is a standout among a sea of Lower Manhattan rectangles

This Coral colored 1964 Ford Thunderbird was a standout in my opinion. Was in excellent condition and the first time the owners had taken it to a car show/
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. The species are native to meadows and woods in southern Europe and North Africa with a centre of diversity in the Western Mediterranean, particularly the Iberian peninsula. They are predominantly spring perennial plants. They have conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow or orange or pink, with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. 11766

Registration: F-WLXV
Type: A350-1041
Engines: 2 × RR Trent XWB-97
Serial Number: 065
First flight: Feb 7, 2017
One standout in the A350 family is the A350-1000 test aircraft, registered as F-WLXV (MSN065), which played a pivotal role in the type’s certification campaign. As the second A350-1000 built, it rolled out of Airbus’s Toulouse paint shop in September 2016 sporting the striking Carbon Fiber livery—a visual nod to the aircraft’s composite-heavy construction. Unlike its siblings, F-WLXV was uniquely equipped with a fully fitted passenger cabin during testing, allowing Airbus to evaluate real-world systems performance on long-haul flights, including a notable 2017 test campaign that pushed its endurance and reliability limits.
Beyond its technical contributions, F-WLXV doubled as a promotional star for Airbus. The Carbon Fiber livery, with its sleek black-and-gray weave pattern, became an icon of the A350 XWB program, showcasing the advanced materials that define the jet. This aircraft toured global airshows and demonstration flights—like its 2018 appearance in Sydney—captivating aviation enthusiasts and industry insiders alike. Even after its test duties wound down, F-WLXV’s legacy lived on; it was later repainted and delivered to Air Caraibes in 2019, transitioning from a testbed to a commercial workhorse while retaining its historical significance.

Ella sobresalía entre la multitud. Ibamos en la Marcha del 1º de Diciembre y era imposible no verla.
She stood out from the crowd. We were part of the December 1st demonstration and it was impossible to not see her.
This 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante Coupe' is the only one of the 17 Atalantes to be painted in this yellow and black manner, most being all black or black and red. The Type 57s were the most successful of the touring Bugattis, and remain eye-catchers today.
Designed by the scion of the founder and chief engineer, Ettore, his eldest son, Jean showed early genius in both engineering and body design.
Jean Bugatti (Gianoberto Maria Carlo Bugatti; 15 January 1909 – 11 August 1939) was born in Cologne, Soon after his birth the family moved to the village of Dorlisheim near Molsheim in Alsace, Germany, where his father built the new Bugatti automobile manufacturing plant. Born into a family of creative people, from boyhood he was interested in his father's business. His grandfather Carlo Bugatti had lived in France for several years when he relocated from his native Milan to live in Paris. The Bugatti family were multilingual and in France, Gianoberto became known as Jean.
During World War I, the family lived in Milan, Italy. After the ceding of Alsace by Germany to France after the end of the war in 1919, the company became subject to French jurisdiction. By the late 1920s, young Jean Bugatti was an integral part of the company and had already demonstrated his vehicle design abilities. In 1932, at the age of twenty-three years, he did most of the design for the company's Type 41 Royale. His body designs complemented his father's engineering skill, making Bugatti one of the greatest names in automobile manufacturing. Additionally, Jean Bugatti designed four bodies for the Type 57, the Ventoux, Stelvio, Atalante and Atlantic models. Regarded as the finest of all the Bugatti touring models, the supercharged Bugatti 57 was debuted at the 1936 Paris Salon. Jean also showed his engineering skills by working on new independent suspension systems to replace solid front axles and on twin-cam engine applications.
He frequently tested the company's prototypes. On 11 August 1939, while testing the Type 57 tank-bodied racer which had just won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race that year, not far from the factory on the road near the village of Duppigheim, 30-year-old Jean Bugatti was killed when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree after avoiding a cyclist.
