“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” - Dr Seuss

Thanks for viewing my photo albums:
Considerably less beloved than E8s were the low-slung Bombardier LRC locomotives, built to power matching trainsets. At least in the early days they looked somewhat impressive as eight and nine car consists with an engine on each end, as in the case of VIA No. 6908 at Brockville on 6 July 1986 with a corridor train.

Hadn't noticed before that a neighbouring chimney stack has a 'Hawk' on the pole that holds the satellite dish. Keeping other birds off the chimneys I suppose. Just sits and stares towards the peak of Snaefell in the distance as if longing to go there.
Get the evidence.
"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an adage in multiple languages meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.
But can you trust it? Photographic chicanery has been going on almost since photography was invented. Back in the days of film, plates and chemicals it took longer than "Photoshop" does - but it was still possible.

The neighbors had a bbq in their backyard yard with about 20 or so adults and children that required close monitoring.
This is not selective colouring btw, the photos are in b/w...and the watcher is non other than our dear friend SonOfJordan :)))
With her head laid on her back, this female Canada Goose sat quite contently and watched what I was doing. I didn't get close as to disturb her, but as I got up to leave she lifted her head ever so slightly. I left some corn close by for her and went on my way.
Hawaii. As the lava reaches the sea, the water hisses and boils and there is a lot of steam. Quite exciting really - and utterly awesome when you get to about 10ft away from the flow...
A snippet of brutalist architecture. Definitely not to everyone’s taste - the picture or the architecture.

This shot made Explore many years ago, but I wasn't happy with it. I took this with my first digital camera, a little Kodak point and shoot, that took great pics for what it was, but wasn't good at all for low light shots, which this was because of the storm rolling in. Also, at only 7.1 megapixels, it had about half the detail or less that some of my other point and shoots have, and a whole lot less definition than my DSLR! That said, I caught shots with it that I haven't been able to since, like the three or four lightning shots I managed to capture that day!
This was taken at Veteran's Memorial Riverfront Park in South Daytona, FL, right on the Halifax River. The storm was a nasty one, but it took a long time to actually drop any rain. Meanwhile, I was all over town capturing some spectacular shots that I only wish I could have gotten with a better camera! This was my favorite of the day. I was that close to the egret, and it seemed to be watching the water as if to decide what to do while I was watching it. I loved the moodiness of the shot, and though I might have cropped it more to be more in keeping with the rule of thirds, doing so would have cut off the bottom of that cloud ridge that gives dimension to the sky. Some rules just have to be broken! I did crop it some, and I think it was effective.
Some of the post processing tools that I use now were unavailable to me when I first processed the shot. I think this is an improvement over the original edit, which is below under the original.
