Toyville/American Waterfront/Waterfront Park
Tokyo DisneySea
April 2013
Although I have panoramic cameras I am a little fond of the iPhone panoramic - it’s interpretations of moving people and vehicles is quite fascinating, I will post some from Shibuya, Tokyo soon - truly bizarre.
This triptych - if that’s even the right way to describe it features three shots from Tokyo DisneySea:
Top: Toy Story Mania/American Waterfront
This was around 10.15 am - the park opened at 10.00am. By this time the stand-by queue for Toy Story Mania was 180 minutes. The people to the left of me were in the Fastpass line to collect Fastpasses - that was already showing at near 7pm.
Middle:
Waterfront Park - waiting for a show in the seasonal Spring Carnival. 10 minutes later this area was cleared as the show was cancelled due to extreme high winds - as would all outside entertainment be bar one further show at the Lido Isle.
Base:
Toyville/Toy Story Mania - battling those exceptionally high winds can play havoc with a panoramic shot :))

Seen at the POPS Rally at Chatterley Whitfield Mining Museum was a lineup of Leyland Atlanteans.
Furthest left is the ex-Wallesey FHF451, the first production Atlantean; by it's side is 766 EVT, the first PMT Atlantean and preserved by POPS and the last one was an ex Portsmouth BBK 236B, which was owned at the time by POPS members Steve Mellor from Harrow.
The early 13th century Biblical window in the north choir aisle, amongst the very finest medieval windows to survive. The panels represent subjects from both Old and New Testaments; the original panels from the two lowest rows have not survived and their places have been filled by scenes from other windows of the same date (mostly from a now empty window in the north east transept).
Arguably the most important of England's cathedrals and its Mother Church, few other buildings embody the nation's history as much as this one. It also bears the distinction of being the first major example of Gothic architecture in Britain, where French masons introduced the style during the rebuilding of the choir following a major fire in the 1170s. Throughout the following centuries it became one of Europe's leading centres of pilgrimage, when thousands flocked to venerate the shrine of murdered archbishop St Thomas Becket, but brought to an abrupt end with the English Reformation, when a saint who defied a monarch was viewed with particular enmity. Though all traces of the rich shrine were destroyed, the site of Becket's martyrdom in the north transept remains a place of reverence to this day.
The cathedral is a stunning building which represents both the earliest and latest styles of English Gothic architecture, from the French inspired eastern limb and apse, to the nave, transepts and the three towers, all soaring examples of the Perpendicular style, the central tower (the 'Bell Harry') being an especially fine structure (the north-west tower was rebuilt in the 1830s as a copy of its medieval neighbour on the south side following the demolition of an earlier Norman tower, thus the present symmetry of the west façade is a relatively recent feature, originally its mismatched towers would have given it a more Continental appearance).
The earliest parts of the cathedral however are Norman, represented the easternmost chapels and transepts flanking the choir, survivors of the fire of 1174, each transept being adorned by a richly decorated miniature tower. The crypt below is the finest in the country, extending below most of the east end (with a transitional early Gothic extension to the east under the apse). Superb examples of Romanesque art can be seen in many of the crypt's sculpted capitals, and the unusually well preserved murals in St Gabriel's chapel (sadly photography is forbidden in these areas).
The cathedral contains many notable tombs and monuments of all periods from the 13th to 20th centuries, foremost amongst them being the tombs of Edward the Black Prince (with a superb bronze effigy) and King Henry IV.
It's most celebrated feature is its wonderful collection of stained glass, much of it dating back to the late 12th and early 13th centuries including a sequence of the Ancestors of Christ and the especially beautiful 'Miracle windows' in the ambulatory (relating various miracles associated with Becket's shrine). The glass is justly famous as the very finest in Britain, its deep blues and reds often compared with the famous windows of Chartres.
On the north side many of the former monastic buildings remain, with a fine late medieval cloister and a vast rectangular chapter house. The cathedral library also stands here, but was rebuilt after being destroyed by bombing in World War II; fortunately all the medieval glass in the cathedral had been removed for safe-keeping throughout the war and damage to the building was otherwise superficial.
Canterbury Cathedral put simply invites superlatives, one of the most rewarding churches anywhere and a magnificent testament to England's Christian heritage.
taken through a prism. A lot of fun.

The Three Mile Island nuclear power station, near Harrisburg, PA, where a nuclear accident happened in March 1979. Unit 2 has been innoperative since the accident, Unit 1 is still in operation (as can be seen by the smoke in its cooling towers).
Since my childhood I have been to this place for a lot of times, but not before yesterday I noticed these three men, watching from above.
It's the Museum of Natural History (Naturkundemuseum) in Berlin/Germany, district of Mitte, Invalidenstraße 43, built by August Tiede and opened in 1889. The three men over the entrance are Alexander von Humboldt (centre), maybe the most influential naturalist-explorer of Germany, Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (left), biologist, who's scientific collection was handed over to this museum after his death, and Christian Samuel Weiß (right), director of the Mineralogical Museum which later was integrated into Naturkundemuseum.
Spot this Three Wheel car in a Service near M5.
I've never ever seen such three wheel cars except bond type movies.
Basingstoke. During the recovery from a major signal failure at Woking, a northbound container working disappears towards Reading while a Salisbury line train eases out of the up sidings. In the background, Stanier 'Black Five' 44871 coasts towards its booked stop at platform 1 with the 11 December run to Sherborne. Shortly after this shot was taken, all four through platforms held down passenger trains!
Shot just after sunrise, while we were riding down the road in Jean's truck, with me telling her "stop hitting bumps!" LOL
The Navajo people see the Three Sisters formation differently. The three pillars of rock represent a man and his strength and courage, a woman and her softness and kindness, and a child who the man and woman hope grows up into someone special. "It represents faith, hope and charity,"
I still haven't found why it's called "The Three Sisters"
Left to right is Elliott, Corbin and Liam == they live in dairy country - Northern Illinois. They are my friend's, Aaron and Jenny's, three oldest children.<
I took some shots of the moon tonight, and I happened to have the camera set for bracketing. so I thought I'd see what it produced when I ran them through photomatix. not much really. here's the three attempts I made using different settings.
eh.
I'll post a single frame for comparison.
Three nearly grown owlets wake up from their nap to find that mother has gone away--social distancing in a palo verde tree about 100 feet down the wash. As the owlets get older, mom will start to spend more and more time away from the nest-- though never far away-- to encourage the owlets to start exploring on their own.

A mated pair of Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) have used this broken cactus (it's missing its center column) as a nest site for at least the last eight years. Our great horned owls are one of the earliest birds to nest-- beginning around mid-late February with owlets hatching around mid-late March or the first week of April. The female will sit on her eggs for approximately 30-35 days before they hatch; during this time, the male will bring food for her.
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics."
