-->> Representing another interesting turning point in the 2003 series as the actually, somewhat short-lived, "futuristic" and lighter TMNT: FAST FORWARD line marked the start of a shift in the Toys and animated worlds of the Turtles. All of this was both praised and shunned by many fans of the show. Cut off by the TMNT 2007 film toy line, a whole wave of unreleased characters and fun Turtle variants never made it past TOY FAIR.
Another "alright" reproduction - this one was kind of hard to remove from the base. But it may have just been mine. Small paint apps are missing such as below the knee. Leo's futuristic katanas were partly made of a translucent blue plastic with a painted metallic handle ( representing the lazer-like, lightsabre-ish weapons of the show ). Here they are cast in solid silver. The scabbard on his back is completely blue, the original's scabbard is silver-metallic. While it may just be MY particular figure, it does appear that the head on my repro FF Leo is just a tad off-mold. ~ t
WEEK 52.2 – Flashback 2016: Hernando Walmart (V)
As promised, here we are entering the produce section of the Hernando Walmart from the main grocery actionway. Note how, in the Project Impact era, the layout was very straight: in other words, the two major dry produce stands on the left of the pic are parallel to the refrigerated produce case on the right. In this regard, I have to give the remodel credit: the new angled design makes the space seem a whole lot larger!

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 :)
New, for me, to see a tram doing this right hand turn from the De Clercqstraat to the Marnixstraat in 2019. For some reason the tram modules look uncomfortable. © Henk Graalman
This male gold finch was among 20 others I counted in the yard and on the feeders at one time yesterday. We have never had so many gold finches at once. He is well on his way to summer colors.
AC Loco Group's preserved 86 213 'Lancashire Witch' brings back memories of the late 1980s displaying it's Inter City 'Swallow' livery. Electric Traction Ltd's 86 702 can also be glimpsed in this view seen at Willesden TMD.
About:
One should think this is a sunset over the Oslo fjord. But on the shortest day of the year, this is just about all we get to see of the sun :) I was at home preparing for Christmas, when I saw these fine clouds. So I strapped Ludo (my Alaskan Husky) to my bike and went out to Huk on Bygdøy, a small peninsula on the western side of Oslo. This is my favorite place in Oslo at winter time, when there is almost no people :)

I tried my Cokin ND8 grad filter on this shot. But didn't do much for me :( Guess there is no point in using that when I think in HDR :)
Post Processing:
I turned the temperature up a little bit from 4700K to 6250K in the individual RAW images, giving the scene a warmer tone.

Noise reduction has been applied to get rid of the noise in the sky from the HDR process. A little cloning to fix some lens flares.

The man was demonstrating wood turning in Castlewellan in Northern Ireland. He turned a simple piece of wood into a toy with ease. I used a higher ISO and wide aperture to get the shutter speed up to catch the saw dust as it sprayed off the wood.

Day 207 Year3 of Project365
sorry for being so absent, but life got in the way and I also got a strep throat. Fun times. This picture was taken before I fell of the grid, when we were attending an Indian wedding. I wanted to fit in :)
In these kind of shots the action is normally the other way around. So, ... I think you get my drift....
Ex-United Counties Bedford YRT / Willowbrook RBD 111M is a unique survivor of it's type and was present at the Service 176 Running Day on 30th October 2022 representing sister vehicles that operated from Bedford and Biggleswade during the 1970's. It is seen here turning into Hitchin Street in the town to reach it's layover point at Stand D of the Bus Station.

This is one of my personal favourites of my London images. Everything is sweet about this image in turns of subject matter and composition.
The children are watching what happens when you put a white flower in blue water! The outside petals are turning blue first.

Let's turn around to show you the back of my dress a bit better. The bodice is just as sparkly from the back and the skirt is very wide so I can easily take the top layers in my hands and play with them. Also notice that I'm wearing white stockings and matching lilac high heels to complete the look.
This big bird is hard to get a shot on whole body. My last 8 attempts ended with record shots where it hide in bushes. Today it decided to come out and meet me as my model for the precious 5 minutes!! Love it!!!
Chestnut-winged Cuckoo (Clamator coromandus)
The chestnut-winged cuckoo or red-winged crested cuckoo (Clamator coromandus) is a cuckoo found in Southeast Asia and parts of South Asia. It has dark glossy upperparts, a black head with long crest chestnut wings, a long graduated glossy black tail, rufous throat dusky underside and a narrow white nuchal half collar. They breed along the Himalayas and migrate south in winter to Sri Lanka, southern India and tropical Southeast Asia including parts of Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. It is about 47 cm long.
Description
This dark and crested cuckoo has chestnut wings, a glossy black crest and a graduated tail (the feathers shortening in steps from the center outwards) whose terminal edges are white and inconspicuous unlike the white tips of the Jacobin cuckoo which is found in parts of its range. The black capping on the head is broken from black of the back by a white collar that extends to the sides of the neck. The lower parts are rufous turning to dark grey towards the vent. Young birds are dusky with a scaly appearance to the wing feathers.
Taxonomy
The species was first given its binomial name by Linnaeus in 1766. His description of what he called Cuculus coromandus was based on the notes of Brisson who described the bird as "Le coucou hupé de Coromandel" which was collected on the Coromandel coast of India (probably near Pondicherry which was a French colony). Buffon noticed the close relation to the Jacobin cuckoo and called it "le Jacobin huppé de Coromande". The species was later placed under the genus names of Coccystes, Oxylophus before being placed in Clamator.
Distribution
The species is found from the western Himalayas to the eastern Himalayas and extends into Southeast Asia. It has been recorded from India, Nepal, China, Indonesia, Laos, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Some populations may be non-migratory.
During migration in India, it moves along the Eastern Ghats in its southward migration with exhausted individuals often being discovered in the vicinity of homes.[8][9] In mid-October, they are found in numbers at Point Calimere, possibly in to Sri Lanka. Some appear to winter in the Western Ghats.
Behaviour
This cuckoo sometimes joins mixed species foraging flocks and is usually seen singly. The breeding season is in summer and it is said to lay its eggs mainly in the nest of Garrulax laughingthrushes, especially G. monileger and G. pectoralis. The eggs are very spherical. The calls include fluty twin-notes repeated with short intervals

On the 25th February 2021 the 'Dutch Pearl' (2010) turns 'Wavewalker 1' off Dawlish.
Built at the Shipyard Gebr. Kooiman in Zwijndrecht the 'Dutch Pearl' is a 31-metre long double propelled chine strake hull multipurpose tugboat with stern roll and push bow. The vessel has a bollard pull of 46.2 tonnes and can carry out its work well in shallow as well as deep water. The 'Wavewalker 1' is being returned to Newhaven having provided a platform for piling work at Dawlish.
