Not the best lighting in this shot due to the harsh sunlight but it is a decent spot. Loving the wheels on this. Owner was friendly and told us that if we stayed in school we could get ourselves one of these. :P
This is just the start of a R8 invasion on my stream.
"Shrink wrap" is how I refer to freezing rain. These are icicles on a bird house.
For my friends in warmer climates, freezing rain falls as liquid, then freezes as it coats the ground, plants, cars, and other objects. It often encases them in ice.

With the Moffat Tunnel ceremonies concluded, the crowd begins to disperse and head back to the cars. Prominent in this view is GP40-2 3119. It had been built by EMD in 1974. 3119 would make to both the SP and UP rosters, with the Rio Grande paint disappearing in 2000. At that time it became UP 1370 and is still in service.

An unknown couple on the eastern lakefront of the Kochelsee (in English: "Lake Kochel") with the mountain Herzogstand (in English: "Duke’s High Seat") in the distance, Bavaria, Germany
Some background imformation:
When we visited this place, the air pollution was rather severe. A lot of Saharan dust had reached southern Germany and that’s why the sky looks rather grainy and opaque in all my photos taken on that day. I remember having heard about Saharan dust reaching Germany for the first time about fifteen or twenty years ago. But I cannot remember Saharan dust having reached Germany already at the end of March. That’s much too early. For me the trend is quite disturbing and I summarize such trends under the heading "climate change". Obviously, we really have dealt ill with our planet. I fear for the future, actually.
The Kochelsee is a lake located about 70 kilometres (43 miles) to the south of Munich on the edge of the Bavarian Alps. The lake lies within the municipal areas of the communities of Kochel am See ((in English: "Kochel by the Lake") and Schlehdorf. It was created during the last glacial period of the current ice age by the Loisach-Isar glacier. The bottom of the glacier scraped out the lakebed. The basin then filled with water at the end of the glacial period while the northern end of the lake silted up forming bogs. Thus, the northern shore is bordered by bog lands and the southern edge of the lake lies up against the mountains.
The Loisach river flows into the lake at Schlehdorf and out of the lake at Kochel am See. Hence, it’s the Loisach river that provides the lake‘s consistent water level. The river flows through both Tyrol, Austria and Bavaria, Germany. It is a 113-kilometre-long (70-miles-long) left tributary to the Isar river whose source is near Ehrwald in Austria. It flows past the Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and after flowing 25 kilometres northeastbound supplies the Kochelsee with water. The Loisach then flows out of Kochelsee and joins the Isar at the town of Wolfratshausen.
The Herzogstand is a mountain on the edge of the Bavarian Alps. Geographically, it still belongs to the Bavarian foothills of the Alps and hence, cannot compete with the much higher mountains of the High Alps in terms of elevation. However, with its elevation of 1,731 metres (5,679 feet) it is still a quite impressive mountain that dominates its surroundings.
Maximilian II, King of Bavaria from 1848 to 1864, had a hunting lodge built underneath today's so-called Herzogstand House in 1857. And his successor, King Ludwig II, had a royal lodge built further up the mountain in 1865. The Herzogstand Cable Car, runs to Herzogstand-house at 1,575 metres (5,167 feet) above sea level, and then continues on to the summit of Farnkopf at 1,627 metres (5,338 feet).
The commune of Kochel am See, where I took this photo, is a little town in the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen. It has almost 4,200 residents. The town is home to the Franz Marc Museum, which is dedicated to the famous German painter Franz Marc, who loved the area around Kochel and also bought a house there. The museum exhibits paintings from Franz Marc and other well-known expressionists (mainly from the artist circle "Blauer Reiter"), such as Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Alexej von Jawlensky.
Apart from its scenery, the Kochelsee (in English: "Lake Kochel") and the Franz Marc Museum, the settlement is known for the Blacksmith of Kochel, who may be considered as a local folk hero. According to legend, he was a soldier in the army of the Holy League during the Great Turkish War. As the word is, he was only armed with a rod when he stood in front of the city gate of Belgrade. With his rod he rammed the gate and forced an entrance for his comrades-in-arms, so that Belgrade could be conquered in 1688.
Later, legend has it that the Blacksmith of Kochel led a Bavarian farmers' rebellion against the imperial troops of the Habsburg Emperor Joseph I during the War of the Spanish Succession. This rebellion culminated in the Sendlinger Mordweihnacht (in English: "Sendling Christmas Massacre") of 1705. In literature, the smith is described as a man of over 70 years of age, yet great in stature and power. For the revolt, he supposedly armed himself with a spiked club of his own making that weighed over 50 kg (100 pound) . In the night of the massacre, the smith fought in the ranks of the rebels at the Sendling Parish Church. There he died heroically, the last man to fall. Well, at least that's the legend.
Hey guys! (And maybe girls??? haha ;)
I thought I would show you all how to make a wrapped Mosin. Note that this method applies to most 3D camo style rifles!
What you will need: (image 1)
-Some kind of material for Camo such as fabric, string, leaves, etc..
-Scissors
-Tweezers
-String
-Glue and some kind of fray stopper (which is optional)
-The Rifle of your choice (I used proto brown mosin for the actual wrapping part but the image 1 shows the standard black version)
Step 1: gather supplies. Make sure you have everything before you start or you could end up wrecking your rifle.
Step 2: cut a narrow strip of fabric around 6-9 centimetres long depending on the rifle. Use the fra check of you have it to make the edges stay ‘sharp’.
Step 3: Glue the end to the receiver end of the rifle using your glue. Don’t use too much or it will look sloppy and will take forever to dry. Don’t use to little or it obviously won’t stick. A little DOB is good. Use the tweezers to hold the strip to the rifle while it dries. (See image 2)
Step 4: wrap the fabric around until it reaches the front of the rifle. You can wrap can choose to do a double wrap and bring it back around to the receiver or glue it at the front. In this case I did a single wrap. Glue it to the end of the fore stock and hold the excess to prevent it from coming off during drying. Don’t pull to tight or it will spring back when you let go!!! (See image 3)
Step 5: once it dries trim off the excess fabric. Don’t do this until it’s very dry or it will come loose and you will have nothing to grip! This is why you have to keep the excess in place for a while. (See Image 4)
Step 6: do the same for the string. Start at the receiver and make sure to have a bit of extra so you can hold it. (See Image 5)
Step 7: Wrap it to the muzzle. In this case I did the double wrap mentioned before. Glue it and hold onto the excess until it dries. (See Image 6)
Step 8: let it dry completely. Cut off the excess, and arm your trained sniper!
Something resembling winter is finally upon us here in Wollongong, so I had to chuck on a few layers for my journey into work yesterday.
It is the time of year where colours come front and center! I did some late night wandering to get some lights for the season!
Kendall Katwalk, part five - from Hikes of 2024.
The last few from the Katwalk. The next few days hold the promise of wintry weather in the mountains, which always makes me a bit sad. There are still places to get up high and snowshoe, and plenty of hiking without snow in the Gorge and coast and other places, but these higher elevation trails and alpine wonderlands are largely inaccessible in until next summer.

R143 no. 8245 is on point of a Canarsie-bound (L) train as it arrives at Sutter Ave station. This trainset was recently decked out with a full-train wrap promoting the Halo television series on Paramount+. While historically rare, aside from the Times Square Shuttle, this is the second full-train wrap on the (L) in less than a year, the first being the Supreme wrap that was around in August 2021.

Visited Petworth House in West Sussex with my wife the other day. As usual the interior had some great light entering the dimly lit rooms inside, just the sort of conditions I like for taking a few shots.

My first time trying the chocolate wrap technique...and it was disasterous! Somehow it turned out pretty good in the end but I made a terrible mess! I spread the chocolate too thick I think. The ends started setting up before the middle. I thought I had better attach it to the cake before it set up too much. The chocolate from the mid section gushed off everywhere when I picked it up. I spent quite a long time scraping it all off. I am surprised it looks this good :) I made this for my husband's birthday to share with the family. A great time to try new things. I think I need to practice several more times before I would be confident selling one!
Based on the look of "emmascakes" which are done MUCH better than this!

Tofurky wrap on whole wheat tortilla, veggies -- raddichio, beets, cucumber, carrots, olives and bell pepper -- and hummus, raspberry soy yogurt with berries, and my afternoon snack: peanut butter and graham crackers with raisins and a dried hibiscus flower.
I discovered it takes over 16m of bandage to wrap my head. I'm not sure if I should be proud of disturbed by this discovery.

Al cementiri de Sabadell vaig trobar aquesta escena un pel inquietant: una estatua de marbre, de tall classic, embolcallada en plastic transparent. Què hem de pensar? L'acaben d'instal·lar i encara no l'han desembolicada? Porta així anys? Ningú ha possat aquest plastic? Ai...

==============================================
In Sabadell cementery I found that creepy sight: a plastic wrapped classic-style marbre statue. All in the middle of a obergrown lot. Have the statue been left there with the wrap on? There's some more unerving explanation? I've been reading H.P. Lovecraft in these days..
