This was the first image I shot, at this new favorite place. The composition is similar to my previous post; however the lighting is very different. Shot during sunset, I was able to record a wide range in contrast of light. A neutral density grad is necessary to keep both the sky and canyon details as correctly exposed as possible. Adjusting white & color balance in post-processing keeps tones looking very close to the way my eyes witnessed the scene.
This one was on the ground under trees

I was stitting on a bench near the edge of the water when this one flew to a boulder close beside me. Here is a close up showing the red eye ring they sport during breeding season.
William Hawrelak Park. Edmonton, Alberta.
Local urban legend has it that this sturdy landmark on Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard, photographed by George Lilley in 1949, was where prisoners were hanged. Of course, this could not be farther from the truth. A purely functional building, the Kingston Penitentiary water tower was completed in 1895 on the former site of the Penitentiary Farm, now West Campus of Queen’s University.
This photograph was taken this morning from the Heritage Bridge looking towards Orchid Country Club and beyond before sunrise.
The sun was rising below the horizon, and illuminated various clouds and cloudlets of interesting shapes and shades. The colourful clouds were progressively illuminated, with the mirror-like reflections providing added interests to the captivating landscape. The ripples in the foreground, in the middle of the photograph, were probably caused by a fish in the reservoir.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend!
Its heyday was in the 1920s, when together with Potsdamer Platz it was at the heart of Berlin's nightlife, inspiring the 1929 novel Berlin Alexanderplatz and the two films based thereon, Piel Jutzi's 1931 film and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 15½ hour second adaptation, released in 1980. About 1920 the city's authorities started a rearrangement of the increasing traffic flows laying out a roundabout, accompanied by two buildings along the Stadtbahn viaduct, Alexanderhaus and Berolinahaus finished in 1932 according to plans designed by Peter Behrens.
This gentleman was sat in a car park doing some paperwork as I passed by. His cardboard passenger caught my eye. I attracted the man's attention and indicated I was going to take a picture. As you can see, the gentleman had no problem with that......
Thanks for visiting......
I was hidden in tree to make this one
Not so easy in forest because there is no light under trees and birds are fearful

This castle was commissioned by George C Boldt in 1900 the owner of the Landmark Waldorf Astoria in New York, the project was abandoned 4 years later due to the death of his wife he never set foot in it again.
The castle sits on one of more than 1800 islands in the St Laurence River region between Canada and the USA.
I was lucky that my friend Claudia took me for a boat ride I never knew in which country I was in at any given time.

King of road racing and Queen of elegance. This 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Berlinetta Speciale. was built for competition (the C) and yet would transport a couple at very high speed in complete comfort and class. In many ways, the 2900B Lungo Berlinetta was the finest closed car produced in the pre-war era. Built with race-proven engineering and with a style of unsurpassed elegance, these fastback Alfas are among the finest cars in world.
On the track, the 2900 competition cars benefited from a decade of Alfa Romeo progress and became the most successful of their time. A trio of 2900As placed first-second-third at the 1936 Mille Miglia, while three specially built 2900MMs accomplished the same feat at the 1938 edition. The decision to make a road-going variant of these winning designs must have been easy.
Touring of Milan was responsible for almost the entire production of 2900B bodies and their exceptional ‘Coupé Superleggra’ or ‘Coupé Ultraleggro Aeroprofilato’ took advantage of the Lungo chassis and exaggerated it with a huge rear overhang. In total, Touring constructed only around 10 of these masterworks. The 2900 chassis was outfitted very similar to the competition cars.
The engine was similar to the Tipo B unit but was made from new castings in aluminum instead of magnesium. They retained a 10-main bearing crankshafts that sat in white metal babbits. The cylinder head was cast integral to the block with hemispherical combustion chambers and domed pistons. The valvetrain and axillary devices were all gear driven.
The men responsible for this model were engineer Vittorio Jano (designer of Alfa Romeo's P-Series Grand Prix racers and road-going sporting models) and body stylist Felice Bianchi Anderloni (founder of the coachbuilding firm Carrozzeria Touring in Milan). With the help of chief designer Aquino Gilardi, Anderloni helped pioneer Superleggera (super light) body construction. Instead of using heavy frames and rigid axles like so many other competitors, Alfa Romeo employed an intricate latticework of lightweight but rigid steel tubes that formed the framework for the elegant, hand-fashioned aluminum body shell. Shapes were tested by attaching felt strips to the body and the car was photographed while moving to record how wind flowed over and around it.
The original 8C had won LeMans 4 years straight, and this car is a barely detuned racing chassis. What a way to tour Europe!
I was inspired to create these images by the so-called "conspiracy theorists". (German Schwurbler) On various Telegram channels, theories circulate that insects are being bred to secretly vaccinate people. 😂

It was such a dull rainy day... no speed to freeze the movement of the wings or get a good detail. It was a real shame, because in only about two hours that I have been in this small reserve, always under rain, I have met half a dozen hummingbird species that I haven't seen in any other place in Ecuador.

I was photographing flying fish when this inconsiderate Puffin got in the way. Another shot of fish in the top comment box.
Have a mad weekend everyone because I sure am. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Click the image to view large if you have time. Cool looking fish and that Puffin is rather sweet.

ÖBB loc 2043 076 was op 28 october 2005 met een korridortrein onderweg van Innsbruck Hbf naar Lienz in Ost-Tirol en werd in Terme di Brennero gefotografeerd.
Am 28. Oktober 2005 war die ÖBB 2043 076 mit einem Korridorzug unterwegs von Inssbruck Hbf nach Lienz (in Ost-Tirol). In Terme di Brennero konnte ich diesen Zug in der wunderschön herbstlichen Umgebung fotografieren...
ÖBB engine 2043 076 was spotted on October 28th 2005 while hauling a regional train from Innsbruck Hbf to Lienz in Terme di Brennero. Although the train travels from one Austrian town to another Austrian town, it has to run through Italy to get there. The picture was taken just a few kilometers south of the Austrian/Italian border...
It was good to do a coastal walk after visiting the Priory. I liked this bird art it was so well done. Holy Island or is not a big island but there are quite a few houses these people will all be conscious of the tide times as the island gets cuts of when the tide comes in.
I was out shooting wildlife with my 150-600 when I came across this beautiful path, just had to get the shot even though I had completely the wrong lens.....
This was more of an experiment than anything. I am only a hobby photographer, my real job is an Engineer for the railroad. The wind was blowing these like crazy and I was seeing if I could freeze the motion and get a somewhat sharp usable image.

Un grand merci pour vos favoris, commentaires et encouragements toujours très appréciés.
Many thanks for your much appreciated favorites and comments.
A much photographed derelict building in the Wairarapa. I stopped to take an image but it was quite rushed as I was standing alongside a very busy road and it wasn't a pleasant spot to linger at that time! Here's the snap though and I've processed it to look soft and grainy to add some extra atmosphere hopefully!

This summer was a blast.🔥💯 I enjoyed every single minute of it. Lots of memories are in my photo album, it will be fun to "re-live" them once.😍
It was somewhat worse late the night before. I put in a path last year as in the last year it's got much worse. I know why but can't comment here.
Usually, I have the lawn like a bowling green by May and I wanted some planting done but it's just still too wet. It's far better today as I post this, yet still too wet to mow and more rain in the forecast.
I was back out in our meadow this morning. No dew today but I found this lonely Lady on a small, dried weed. It was cool out and no wind. She was quite still for me to set-up and take around 30 shots for focus stacking @ 4x magnification.
EXPLORE!
thanking you for looking at my stream. But I must add that these works are original and final images . And are not to be copied or reproduced in any way or form without permission of the artist. wishing you well with blessings and harmony.
Vole was probably an easy catch, little tough to hide lol...they love this weather !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
Tyntesfield was saved by the National Trust and is a wonderful timecapsule of Victorian life in a grand house, upstairs and downstairs. It is just outside Bristol near Wraxall in North Somerset. It comes to life in Spring!
First off this was a great joke and let's not confuse it to mean anything else other than a staged joke that was pretty epic. Try to imagine being a reporter for a newspaper and finding all these guys in your parking lot first thing in the morning. Now I realize some of these might be well before the times of some viewers but I'm sure a little searching the net will help with the rest of the story. Daima and I found it hilarious and we'd like to thank our fellow prankster roleplayers at maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lightning/61/164/23 and a special thank you to P. Allen for making sure it didn't get out of hand.

In mei was ik in Bulgarije, met als hoofddoel de БДЖ/BDŽ 07, Ludmilla, in reguliere reizigersdienst. Naast dit werd ook aandacht bestaat aan de overige lijnen.
Op 18 mei was het Iskar-Dal aan de buurt. De trein volgt hier, weliswaar een stuk hoger, de rivier de Iskar die beneden in het dal stroomt. Landschappelijk gezien is dit een van de mooiste lijnen van Bulgarije en de Balkan.
’s Ochtends begonnen we in Levishte/ . Deze foto, uit de middag, komt vanuit Gara Bov. Gara Bov is een mooi station gelegen tussen de bergen in het Iskardal met zelfs een eigen stations restauratie. Op dit stationnetje stonden onder andere de doorkomst van sneltrein (Barz Vlak) vanuit Vidin, in het noorden van Bulgarije, vlakbij het drielandenpunt met Servië en Roemenië. In tegenstelling tot een sneltrein van Sofia naar Vidin/din in de ochtend, reed deze trein met moderne rijtuigen met centrale treinvergrendeling (die overigens niet in gebruik is, bij lager dan 5 km/h kan je de deuren gewoon openen), automatische deuren, stopcontacten, en airco. Voor de foto iets minder leuk, maar voor de reizigers zeker prettiger met het warme Bulgaarse weer.
Het is 16:34 als 44 147 met Barz Vlak 7623 van Vidin naar Sofia door Gara Bov rijdt.
