This is a photo I took during a business trip to St Louis last November. I posted an earlier version of this that was a single photo. I’ve revised it a bit and used several photos to blend in different times of day into one photo. Thanks for looking!

I am afraid to have previously described my photo as shot at sunset. I took it in fact at dawn & could remember it later on.
Checking the photo data, it says in fact as taken in August the 18 2016 at 06.34 CET
There is absolutely no retouching nor post-processing of any kind in this photo.

I'm calling this my "Best of 2021" image. I don't know if there was a clear standout from this past year, but I really like this view of the Columbus skyline (and at this time of day).

Vintage Kodak Ektachrome slide from 1969 -54 years ago.
The emulsion is chemically deteriorated and the color has gone off ,but yet I remember this summer trip when I was sixteen, armed with the family Agfa Colorflex 35mm camera with it's waist level viewfinder and excellent built in (manual) meter.
I am hopeful that I can restore nearly 600 slides left to my keeping by the family I grew up with.
The Sixth Street Viaduct, also known as the Sixth Street Bridge, is a viaduct bridge that connects the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles with the Boyle Heights neighborhood.
The Sixth Street Viaduct spans the Los Angeles River, the Santa Ana Freeway (US 101), and the Golden State Freeway (I-5), as well as Metrolink (Orange County and 91 lines), Amtrak (Pacific Surfliner and Southwest Chief), and Union Pacific (along with Metrolink's Riverside Line) railroad tracks and several local streets. The original, which opened in 1932 and demolished in 2016, was replaced; the replacement was officially opened in 2022.
The predecessor was composed of three independent structures: the reinforced concrete west segment, the central steel arch segment over the river, and the reinforced concrete east segment. In 1986, the Caltrans bridge survey found the Sixth Street Viaduct eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
The demolition of the predecessor bridge was due to serious structural issues, including several large cracks, resulting from the high alkaline content of the concrete composition, due to architectural unsophistication. As a result, concerns over the structure’s seismic instability outweighed its historical status, leading to its closure for demolition and replacement in January 2016. The new replacement bridge was completed six years later and opened on July 9, 2022.

Optical Art, also known as OpArt, is an abstract style developed in the 1960s, featuring geometric shapes and lines in black and white or vivid colors. Based in theories of color and perception, Op Art compositions often create optical illusions of vibration or depth.

Apache Helicopter sitting next to the largest wooden airplane in the world (the Spruce Goose); at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.
The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an American twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 has significant systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.
The Apache began as the Model 77 developed by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra. The prototype YAH-64 was first flown on 30 September 1975. The U.S. Army selected the YAH-64 over the Bell YAH-63 in 1976, and later approved full production in 1982. After purchasing Hughes Helicopters in 1984, McDonnell Douglas continued AH-64 production and development. The helicopter was introduced to U.S. Army service in April 1986. The advanced AH-64D Apache Longbow was delivered to the Army in March 1997. Production has been continued by Boeing Defense, Space & Security, with over 2,400 AH-64s being produced by 2020.
Now, for the 3rd year running, we have another 3 young House Martins developing fast. These are the 3 egg shells found in the garden, 2 on the 29th May with an interesting fine pattern inside, (showing through the light) and the last one found 2 days later on 31st May with no patterning inside?
The shells are incredibly delicate and only the size of a small fingernail. Alas, since this photograph was taken, the birds have not visited again since 2020.
