One of the best murals I’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever. It has such wonderful depth and there are actual pieces of rebarb protruding from the artwork. Located near Chico State University and across the street from an awesome New York style pizzeria.

Interesting fact: this is the second version of this mural in the same spot. The building was remodeled, but the company loved the mural so much, they hunted down the artist and requested it be recreated exactly as it was before.

So yesterday, during Pride month, the US government announced it was cutting off funding to the suicide hotline for LGTBQ people. The Trump White House called it "a chat service where children are encouraged to embrace radical gender ideology by ‘counselors’ without consent or knowledge of their parents." LGTBQ youth are four times more likely to attempt or commit suicide than their straight peers. The Trevor Project provides 24/7 support for LGBTQ youth in need of support and counseling; please help if you can.

"Our Gang" (The Little Rascals) Signed 1968 "Support Our Youth" FDC

A nostalgic artifact of early Hollywood history featuring the signatures of two members of the legendary "Our Gang" comedy series. This 1968 cover perfectly pairs the "Support Our Youth" theme with the faces of America’s most famous screen children.

The Signatories:

Jackie Davis: An original silent-era Rascal. Inscribed "Our Gang 1922"—the very year the series debuted.

Joy Wurgaft: A 1930s-era Rascal (notably from Honky Donkey, 1934). Inscribed "1934" in her characteristic later-life hand.

Key Features:

The Stamp: 6¢ "Support Our Youth" Scott (#1344), issued May 1, 1968.

The Cachet: ArtCraft Centennial of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (1868-1968), an organization long associated with youth charity.

Thematic Synergy: A rare pairing of early 20th-century child stars on a stamp dedicated to the welfare and support of the next generation.

Technical Details:

Signatories: Jackie Davis & Joy Wurgaft (The Little Rascals)

Medium: Black ballpoint and fountain pen ink

Postmark: Chicago, IL (May 1, 1968)

Jackie Davis (1914–1992): An original silent-era Rascal and the brother of Mildred Davis (wife of Harold Lloyd). His "Our Gang 1922" inscription is a premier historical marker for the very first year of the series. After his acting career, he became a prominent physician, making his signatures on show business memorabilia quite prestigious.

Joy Wurgaft (1927–2018): A mid-1930s Rascal whose "1934" inscription perfectly dates her era in the shorts. Joy Wurgaft was a child actress who appeared in the "Hal Roach" era of Our Gang (The Little Rascals). She is most famous for her appearance in the 1934 short Mike Fright and the 1935 short Our Gang Follies of 1936, where she appeared as a hula dancer. She later performed under the stage name Joy Lane. Her later-life signatures—as seen on the cover above—are often characterized by the "shaky" handwriting of a senior collector responding to fan mail.

And the award for the best supporting act goes to........

37716 and 37422 outside York Thrall (Holgate) during the evening on Sat 16th December 2023.

These are 2 out of a total of 5 Class 37’s that were included in the line up, following the end of the locomotives use on the 2023 railhead treatment trains based at York. I feel a bit mean referring to these 2 as a mere supporting act. They were of course much more than that, although it's probably fair to say that the majority of attention went the way of the other 3.

The photo shoot was organised by the well respected Network Rail Director Chris Gee, and involved a huge amount of detailed preparation and organisation amongst both DRS and Network Rail, as well as numerous individuals. It was a great success and all of the proceeds raised (£3,000.00) will be donated to Martin House Hospice.

Gone are the days with cropped sensor DSLR. I have finally got "approval" from my "boss" to get 5D mkii, a FULL FRAME digital slr. Now at 24mm with my 24-105 F4L, I can get a satisfactory wide angle which previously the widest I could get is 38mm (with 1.6 crop factor). I'm truly impressed how 5dmkii handled noise at high ISO - this is crucial as I always like to shoot handheld without tripod.

Took this shot with my brand new 5dmkii with 24-105mm F4L lens at 24mm. 3 exposures HDR tonemapped in photomatix. Added a curve, fine tuned brightness, removed noise, added photo filter affecting the orange, adjusted color contrast in Topaz Adjust, and finally applied unsharp mask on the image.

All comments and critiques are welcome. Thank you.

Another one for you Mom. I would like to thank everyone for all prayers and well wishes for my mothers speedy recovery. I sincerely appreciate your support, it means the world to me.

She is stable and doing ok at the moment! :-) Still in intensive care though!

Wishing you all a wonderful and most enjoyable day!

Will try and catch up with everyone after work, keeping up has been challenging lately!

This is the bottom side of a bridge crossing the Charles River.

I've checked the manual, read the FAQs and raised a support query but, frankly, I don't think this is a known issue.

I reckon I've come up with a new building technique using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 as rafters.

The advantages of using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 piece in this context is allowing the roof to be structurally stronger and they also represent the wooden rafters that go diagonally across a typical roof. Follow the link below to see the technique used in context.

Thank you for viewing this image.

Years ago, a center support was added to the bridge for reinforcement due to the increased weight and volume of traffic. This is one of the main routes though the park even though the bridge is only one lane.

Mill Creek is exceptionally low for this time of year which allowed me to get right down under the bridge. The area in front of where I shot this photo is normally under water. I have marked the highest water level that I have seen and the high level from ealier this year with notes.

There have been studies in Algonquin Park that supports the decline of our Canada Jay. Claiming Global Climate Change. However I am not sure if it was the only determining factor this year. Birders I talked to told me that the increased in Blue Jays are stealing the Canada Jay's stash. Canada Jays depend on those stashes and are far less aggressive than the Blue Jays. An obvious observation I seen this year is there are far less birds in Algonquin Park that i am use too. This image of the Canada Jay has been edited to reflect the softness and kindness of the Canada Jay.

This is a 9 legged wooden lighthouse located at Burnham On Sea in Somerset and was constructed in 1832.

The lighthouse has a focal plane of 7m and provides a white flash every 7.5s plus a directional light (white, red, or green depending on direction) at a focal plane of 4m. The light is shown through a window at the front on the westerly side towards the Welsh Coast just beyond the small island (Steepholm) to the left of the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is painted white with a single vertical red stripe on its front face and is 9m tall with a conical roof and mounted on 9 timber pilings.

It remains an active aid to navigation.
