A Metal watch stem for Macro Monday's theme. The watch movement and face are in the background. I had a couple other photos that I couldn't choose between, but ultimately decided this one fit the theme the best.
Here is one of the hands of the watch:
And, a die-cast model of a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette:
Out for a walk with camera in hand, the vibrant orange of wild daylilies initially caught my attention. However, between them a few smaller and more delicate Chicory flowers seemed to be a strong contender too - ultimately winning me over.
Terra Cotta After many years of preservation advocacy, the old Cedar Hotel reopened fall 2017 as an 18-story boutique hotel called the Viceroy Chicago. An anchor building at the intersection of Cedar and State streets in the heart of the Gold Coast’s Rush Street District, the original 1920’s neo-classical, four-story brick-and-terra-cotta façade of the original Cedar Hotel was carefully removed, catalogued, stored, restored, and ultimately rebuilt onto the new building’s base, which serves as the building’s main entrance, three-story lobby and restaurant.
I'm sorry about the appearance of the three cranes, but ultimately I thought they would make a beautiful image, although the most important element is the colorful clouds illuminated by the last rays of the sun before sunset. I could title this picture as: "Human elements versus Nature", I don´t know.
This view faces east, so the light is projected from the opposite side.
As you can see, the sky was truly picturesque with dazzling clouds, clouds that brought us this morning's rain.
I hope you like the photo.
I wish you a happy week and lots of peace and love!

Atardecer del domingo, Madrid, España
Lamento la aparición de las tres grúas, pero finalmente pensé que formarían una bonita imagen, aunque el elemento más importante son las nubes de colores iluminadas por los últimos rayos de sol antes del ocaso. Podría titular esta foto como "Elementos humanos frente a la naturaleza", no sé.
Esta vista está orientada hacia el este, por lo que la luz se proyecta desde el lado opuesto.
Como podéis ver, el cielo estaba realmente pintoresco con nubes deslumbrantes, nubes que nos trajeron la lluvia de esta mañana.
Espero que os guste la foto.
¡Os deseo una feliz semana y mucha paz y amor!

Due to 90049 bringing down the OHL at Channelsea whilst working 4M42, the North London Line was closed on Friday 7 October 2022 so intermodal traffic to and from the port was diverted away from London, including 4L89 04.10 Crewe Basford Hall - Felixstowe North.
66501 'Japan 2001' piloted 4L89 from Nuneaton where the train went on a diversion through Leicester, Peterborough, and Ely to reach Ipswich (and ultimately the port). 66501 is seen here crawling past Cattishall with 90048, 90045, 90010 and 90005 dead in train.
Excerpt from the plaque:
“Topo”: Hiking off the grid is typically possible using topographical maps. Reading the contour lines helps to determine what routes are possible and areas that might be too steep to navigate. I have always loved looking at these maps, particularly when you can see small lakes and ponds outlined by the contour lines.
This water sculpture is a fusion between a map and a lake. Perhaps it is where your imagination takes you while reading a map. It’s always exciting when you imagine a place based on information given to you and to ultimately discover your perceived vision is a reality.

Notice the green lores and the lacy feathering. It was those feathers that women of the late 1800s wanted in their bonnets. In fact, not only feathers but sometimes wings and even entire taxidermied birds. In 1886 it was estimated that 50 North American species were being slaughtered for their feathers. In fact, this practice ultimately resulted in the formation of the National Audubon Society and passage of the Weeks-McLean Law, also known as the Migratory Bird Act, by Congress on March 4, 1913. The law, a landmark in American conservation history, outlawed market hunting and forbade interstate transport of birds.

I have been struggling to convince myself, at times, to go out and shoot certain areas. Cataloochee Valley is one of those locations. As I pushing against my comfort zones in photography I went out with conflict, Sunrise, or Wildlife. I could, technically of shot both I know, but switching lenses, breaking composition to shoot an interesting animal, or swapping from mindsets is a bit difficult for me. Because of the heavy fog, I determined that I wanted to try and get interesting compositions of these Elk wandering and grazing before they ultimately retreated into the woods.. This is an example of what I did.

A good birding day, but ultimately frustrating as far as photos go... I popped into Loxley woods on my way to the Avalon marshes hoping to find some early bees, but blanked. All the usual ducks and egrets at Shapwick and Ham wall, three Bitterns flying about and a pair of marsh harriers doing a food pass, all of which were just a tad too far away. So I thought I'd wander a bit further on and try for a few grebe shots only to find Simon king up to his waist in water in the prime spot so no birds with golden reed reflections either... Hey ho. :@\
I was on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park to take photos of Comet Neowise and was ultimately disappointed with my images, mainly because I got there too late to get a good spot for photos.
So, I got back in my car and drove to Hazel Mountain Overlook to try to capture the Milky Way. I'm quite pleased with this. It is one exposure. Exif - 14mm, f/2.8, 6s, ISO 20000.
You can also see Jupiter and Saturn to the left of center.
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

There is an old tractor overgrown with weeds on my bike route. You see part of the steering wheel and some other tractor parts in this shot. Apparently weeds will ultimately outlast any tractor ever built.
Six-legged Long Necked Plover
Not actually a new species, just a Piping Plover with a couple of chicks beneath. Laying on the beach, we got really lucky a couple times when one of the parents would come close. The chicks would run around foraging and then ultimately return to shelter for a few minutes before running around again.

A bald eagle was flying across the lake and coming directly at us and ultimately flew over us. This was one of the most exciting interactions I've had with the eagles.

Sunrise at Frenchman's Bay, Bar Harbor in Maine. I had chosen this particular spot because It was the only place that had large rocks and wanted to incorporate them in my composition. As I waited for the sun to come up, the red hues ultimately changed into a bright blue color.
Thank you for your comments, have a great weekend.

The 1924 Lancia with its outstanding technical innovations more than its performance, took part credibly in the first Mille Miglia race in 1927 where Lancia took the first three places in Class D (3,000 cc).
The following year, a factory entered car almost finished second place to a supercharged Alfa Romeo, a victim of a dropped valve near the end of the grueling race. Later, the Lambda replaced by the more formal Dilambda and no longer competed seriously in sports car racing for several years.
Why was this car so important technologically? First, it was the first car to feature a load bearing monocoque body which, ultimately, became the standard of auto manufacturing a decade later. Someone once said designer Vincenzo Lancia divined the idea when he contemplated the design of ships in which they incorporate the hull as part of the aggregate strength. With body sections stamped along with a chassis, the car was remarkably stable, easy to manufacture, but limited in terms of the ability to add different carrozzerie. Lancia abandoned the design in the early 1930s when the desire for different bodies in the now more luxurious idiom demanded a different platform.
By the mid-1930’s this unibody technique became universal. The driveshaft tunnel was the backbone of the car and they could seat the passengers beside rather than above the tunnel there by lowering the overall profile. An equally dramatic innovation was the independent sliding pillar front suspension comprised of an oil-filled tube with springs, adjustable through an opening on the front fender by which each wheel could move vertically through a significant radius, an important first.
The engine itself was different. A V4 in construction the angle of which was only 14 degrees with an overhead valve drive train. Finally, the external design was dramatic and very attractive. Because of the low set frame, a lithe profile was effected. Sweeping flared fenders graced the simple body which tapered nicely in the rear. Although not the first to do so, four-wheel brakes were standard on these cars since 1923. With this significant change, many consider Lancia the first mass-produced cars whose stopping power equaled their acceleration. They made Lambdas right up through 1931 when the Dilambda supervened. There was a progressive increase in displacement and horsepower.
AP-AMJ : Boeing 720-040B : Air Malta
Air Malta's first jets were a pair of Boeing 720s leased from PIA in 1974 (and ultimately bought and put on the Maltese register in 1979).
what I would call the ‘deep composition.’ Photography in the field is a process of creation, of thought and technique. But ultimately, it’s an act of imaginatively seeing from within yourself :-).

Three repainted DMIR tunnel motors assault the 2.2% grade out of Duluth with an empty taconite train that will ultimately be destined for Minntac.
We hired someone do some tree work, including removing some of the top of a cedar snag (standing dead tree) for safety reasons. At the last minute, it occurred to me that the cats might enjoy the cut-off piece in the cat enclosure. Ultimately, it will be upright, but Cricket seems to be enjoying it in the horizontal position.
The right to PURSUE happiness, not GUARANTEE happiness. An individual’s happiness ultimately comes from that individual.
Boat fishing at Topiary Park in Columbus, Ohio. The park, fully recreates the scene depicted in Georges Seurat’s famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by the sculptor James T. Mason and his wife Elaine to make a topiary sculpture for their backyard.
Ultimately spiraling well beyond backyard-project scale, the couple pitched the idea to the city of Columbus, and work on the installation began in 1989 with the creation of artificial hills and the digging of a pond to stand in for the River Seine. James shaped the bronze frames and planted the associated greenery, and Elaine served as the original topiarist.
This image was shot for - but ultimately not exhibited in- the "Souvenirs" exhibition curated by Llorenç Rosanes, May 12 to July 17 2011, Lleida, Cataluña, Spain.
A struggling MRVEP emerges from tunnel 5 spewing exhaust as the lead unit wouldn’t go pass Run 6 and its rear DPU also wasn’t cooperating and ultimately stalled at Cliff less than 5 minutes later.
Right now, sockeye salmon are pouring into Southwest Alaska by the tens of thousands. Escaping ocean predators, running the gauntlet pass the commercial fishing boats, and pushing upstream against the current to ultimately spawn and die. Where this female is set to spawn is the same spot she emerged as a tiny, inch long fry several years ago.
She is a true survivor and will pass along all that she has experienced in her off-spring.
The first rays of golden morning light illuminate the tall trees at Novar, Ont., as test train P300 dashes along CN's Newmarket Subdivision towards Huntsville and ultimately Toronto's Union Station.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "pheasant" ultimately comes from Phasis, the ancient name of what is now called the Rioni River in Georgia. It passed from Greek to Latin to French (spelled with an initial "f") then to English, appearing for the first time in English around 1299.
"It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world."

This little guy was holding on for dear life while a gentle "gale force" breeze blew through the long grass on this warm evening in Bristol. The effort was ultimately in vain, but I'm sure the adrenaline rush was immense ! 😆
Arundel WWT.
I spent the last couple of days of 2025 in a literal but ultimately fruitless wild goose chase with only this distant flight shot to show for it.
The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone offers visitors to the Yellowstone area an opportunity to observe, understand and ultimately appreciate grizzly bears and gray wolves. All the animals at the Center are unable to survive in the wild and serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.
Macro Mondays theme: Broken
It lived for years on my mother's wall but ultimately succumbed to gravity after three carefully packed trips. Hubby's heart was broken when he dropped it, but the wing has the more visible damage. Not sure if it is a serpent or a worm, but sweetly unique.
Not quite sure how to reattach -- milliput or hot melt glue?
HMM
All frogs start out as tadpoles and eventually form legs and ultimately lose their tail when they are ready to completely leave the water. This one still has a bit of a tail left.

The beginning of the Grey's River which flows into the Snake River and ultimately the Columbia River before flowing all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Excerpt from the plaque:
Railway City Little Free Library Kettle Creek Village: Before the name ‘St. Thomas’ took hold, the small settlement in this area was known as ‘Kettle Creek Village’, a reference to the waterway in the nearby valley. Daniel Rapelje was one of the original settlers and had a farm here, later laying out the plan of subdivision and making land available for the Church that was completed in 1824. Today, the Church is still standing and is referred to locally as the ‘Old St. Thomas Church’. After the Church opened, some visitors began referring to the community as “Saint Thomas’, which may have served also as an acknowledgement of Col. Thomas Talbot, the founder of the Talbot Settlement. Eventually, the post office in the area was named ‘St. Thomas’, and the name stuck. ‘Kettle Creek Village’ is the perfect name for this neighbourhood, recognizing the past as well as connecting to the waterway and ultimately the Great Lakes.

In a fashion reminiscent of Turn 4 at Daytona, BNSF manifest H BRCNTW1 06A on the near Main 1 has a couple carlengths on fellow westbound H GALNTW9 06A powering out of Savanna, IL, skirting the Mississippi River and its corresponding bluffs as they will for the remainder of their trips to the Twin Cities. The adversaries came together on the other end of Savanna at the junction of Plum River, GALNTW coming off the Barstow Subdivision from Galesburg just behind the BRCNTW from Chicagoland. The BRC train will ultimately go to victory lane, as its competitor will concede at the the upcoming crossovers CP 1569 to wait to fall into line due to oncoming traffic.

And the poet Rilke prays, “It is only in doing, that we can understand You.” The things in life that we do with our most genuine enthusiasm are ultimately empowered by Mystery, and are—if only we wake up to it—ways of coming to know God. Enthusiastic is, in fact, originally a Greek word meaning “inspired by God within.”

Jasper gave the playground equipment a quick try. Fun, but ultimately not his bag. There's no Oddball involved - how much fun could it be?
Is it an optical illusion or is that right handle bigger than the left? Did the designer have no sense of symmetry? Just something I noticed.
It is sometimes said that each of us is ultimately alone. This idea is compelling not because of birth and death, but because so often our moments alone seem more true, more real. I need solitude like I need food and rest, and like eating and resting, solitude is most healing when it fits the rhythm of my needs. A rigidly scheduled aloneness does not nourish me. Solitude is perhaps a misnomer. To me, being alone means togetherness - the re-coming-togetherness of myself and nature, of myself and being, the reuniting of myself with all other selves. Solitude especially means putting the parts of my mind back together, unifying the pieces of my mind back together, unifying the pieces of myself scattered by anger and fear, until I can once again see that the little things are little and the big things are big.

Coming to grips is a process longer, more intricate, than I thought. I know now, in the grand scheme, no one could love her as deeply as I had. Others might try, more likely throwing out that word, lures, or various sweet nothings in an ultimately meaningless bit to get their phallus moist, give off the appearance of succession in the short-term. It'll feel ecstatic; blissful, even. But, it'll ultimately be fleeting, everlastingly pointless, and considerably empty.
They couldn't understand her as I had, and even then, the surface seemed barely scratched in the realm of understanding. They'll fall for her body, words she may flippantly throw out, and nothing more. But, they could never have the courage to fall for her mind; her soul. One of a kind. Never knowing which way the ride will take you, but you're just happy to tag along because... well, that's devotion above all. Doesn't matter what form of relationship you're in. Devotion is hard to come by and you won't find it by searching for it. It'll come when you least expect it. And when it's gone, it's gone. Try as one may to get some form of it re-established, it'll never be as it was.
And that's what I've needed to tell myself.
It'll never be as it was.
Picard: "...but, you know, Number One. Some relationships just can't work."
Riker: "Yes, probably true. She'll be difficult to forget."

It was difficult to leave the Thar Desert. Ultimately it became one of my favorite places in the world. All of the surprises were hard to surpass. I saw a caravan city of old and had enthusiastic young "directors" helping me capture some of my favorite sunset pictures.
My sadness, however, was quickly overshadowed by my curiosity to see the next remote and another unique area of India. Along the way, there were so many lovely pastoral scenes to appreciate as well.
