Eurasian Griffons
I spent a lot of time at a stinking carcass dumping ground. Sometimes lying in the dirt and sometimes crawling through the prickly desert shrubs. Lying amidst these winged scavengers as well as rabid dogs that always perceived me as a threat to their "food".
Since I've gone through all that I decided to pass on some of it to my loyal friends/followers. Of course, you don't have to be in the middle of rotting dead bodies to view the images :P But buckle up for more vultures
Two Cool Dudes, Matt Chapman, in the Embry Riddle Extra 300L, and Bill Stein, in the Edge 540, half of the 4CE, performing at the 2016 Oregon International Air Show held August 5-7, 2016, in Hillsboro, Oregon.
A medium-sized buzzard-like raptor but still unmistakably eagle-shaped, with long fingered primary flight feathers, a long square-shaped tail, and feathered legs (boots) prominent when perched. Two color morphs: pale morphs are distinctively two-toned and contrasting, whereas dark birds can be confused with Black Kites and Marsh Harriers. Look for distinctive pale "landing lights" on the shoulders when viewed head-on. Found in forested country with open patches, often in hilly areas where it frequently soars with wings slightly pushed forward.

ok this is it for a while, folks. we're leaving for vacation very early tomorrow morning, but i'm saying farewell to flickr tonight so i can pack and get ready for two weeks in maine -- wooot! we'll be in portland for a week with old friends, then a pitstop at llbean, then a week just with the hubs in a cottage on the coast, with some books, some wine and the ocean.
so i'll leave you with some lines on the asphalt and some lines from the boss:
hey what else can we do now
except roll down the window
and let the wind blow back your hair
well the night's busting open
these two lanes will take us anywhere
we got one last chance to make it real
to trade in these wings on some wheels
climb in back
heaven's waiting on down the tracks
oh oh come take my hand
riding out tonight to case the promised land
oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road
oh thunder road
lying out there like a killer in the sun
hey i know it's late we can make it if we run
oh thunder road, sit tight take hold
thunder road
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

100 Block of S. Michigan Ave.
Chicago, Ill
Walking south on Michigan Ave. I heard a woman say, "Oh, my. I think I'm going to get sick." Then another woman say, "Disgusting." People in front of me were gawking to my left. Turning, I see two young ladies, dressed in bride dresses being photographed on the median in the center of Michigan Ave. If it was a show it was an impressive one as they kissed, they dipped and they held each other close. Passersby stopped and stared, cars stopped as drivers and passengers alike stared or got out their picture phones and the onlookers on the sidewalks pulled out their cameras. It was one of the most interesting random events I've ever seen, not because of the photo shoot, but how everyone reacted to it, only in Chicago.

I used Shapecollage to create the two women. The tiles came from my favorite Flickr artists set. Post processing was done using Gimp where I added a background and a reflection.
Same guy from the other day. Which do you like better, wide open aperture or narrowed?
First:

London United TA209 (SN51 SYH) loads for Surbiton on a 281 journey, with another bus running full route to Tolworth behind.
Bringing up the rear of all four buses is an Abellio Surrey 514 - I'd seen enough of the Christmas chaos in Kingston and escaped on said 514, heading to Surbiton to find the new Enviro200 I'd seen (and missed) on the other 514 working earlier in the day at West Molesey.
Eden Street, Kingston, Greater London.
I SO named this after a song off the Tarzan soundtrack.
As usual, it started with a simple desire to draw these two, but I wound up experimenting with shading for future stand-alone pictures - maybe comic pages in the future, as it evolved from a technique I kinda use on some O31 page backgrounds. I'm happy with it, for what it is.
This is relatively soon after the two met compared to the other pictures I've done...as such they are dirt poor hobos who travel via sneaking onto boxcars. Sebastian has yet to get jaded by his situation as a whole, and Bjorn has yet...to get any pants.

This image is a grid of various blends of the numeral 2 that I created on my way to the final, Too Many Twos, which you can see here:
www.flickr.com/photos/qthomasbower/3563416561/
Each is a processed blend of some of the most "interesting" numerals 2 on flickr, composed with some of the best images of the number 2 in modern art, composed with images from the Visual Mashups pool that, while entirely abstract, had the same basic form as the number 2.
