There are many "eternal flames" around the world, but the one in Chestnut Ridge Park here in NY is special for a few reasons. Typically, eternal flames are fueled by extremely hot, ancient rocks buried beneath the earth's surface. In Chestnut Ridge, these rocks aren't hot enough to create our beloved flame. Instead, there is a natural seep of ethane and propane gases--the highest concentration of these gases in any seep in the world, it seems. More interesting yet is the juxtaposition of Chestnut Ridge's eternal flame against a beautiful cascade of water. It is said that Native Americans were the first to light this waterfall aflame thousands of years ago!
A dial test indicator consists of a gauge; on the gauge is a pin level mounted on a spring. When the pin contacts a surface, pressure forces the pin lever up, causing the dial gauge to move. Numbers marked on the perimeter of the dial test indicator display the amount of pressure applied to the pin lever.

A huge slice of luck with this one; An inflatable space was being erected within the confines of Frobisher Crescent and as they battled the wind to position the inflatable structure I shot away at the shapes and forms within. I liked this one as it has enough to make it legible, yet leaves just a little something for the imagination- Surface Tension felt right for this one

Using Live view and holding camera a couple inches above the surface is tricky with the D500 as DSLRs live view focusing is not the best so you do have to use manual to get in range and hope the focus stays on the subject as it does not track well, plus you get the delay before it takes the picture
These images should be much easier with mirrorless cameras like the Z9
We have a second storm move into Northern California and drenching the entire place with much needed rains.
Used a very brief break in the rains to get this shot in the backyard. I was trying to focus on that one drop that was hanging on with all the surface tension it could muster :-)
The USS Finback surfaces in the rolling hills of Central Texas, near Roundtop, hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Actually this a Drop Tank from a McDonnell F4 Phantom made to look like the US Submarine, USS Finback. It is yours for $3200.00.
If you really wanna get my presence, all right
No sugarcoat, can't be low, I need all facts
Cause baby you gotta know where my head's at

With a few greedy wading birds hanging around, an Anhinga makes a few dramatic gestures with its fresh catch as to dissuade any potential thieves.
Thanks for visiting!
Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias - Valencia.
A Calatrava's building. A wonderful space... really liked the ambient.
Something a bit different - a landscape of droplets on red plastic.
Had the (mis)fortune to be working on the plastic, prepping an art installation for Hobart's annual DARK MOFO. Rained pretty much the whole time and we were well over it by the end.
For this pic however, the sun came out for a few moments and the 'art' was hard to pass up!
