I affectionately call this hawk/hawks the "Hopewell Hawk". More often than not there is a hawk hunting from power lines in the area near Hopewell, IN. It's not a picturesque setting, but occasionally I'll pull over and take a few shots.
Watching this horse with her baby foal was lovely. I was so pleased to be in the right place and at the right time to take this photograph. (Photograph taken in Jamaica).
An affectionate pair of Puffins at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
We spent a lovely day on Sunday at Bempton Cliffs, on the Yorkshire coast. There were plenty of Gannets and other birds such as Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Razorbills and Fulmars but the Puffins always steal the show.
A couple more shots below.

Rio Grande Southern Railroad (RGS), Motor Number 6 (affectionately nicknamed Galloping Goose Number 6) is a gasoline engine powered narrow gauge railroad motor car. The Galloping Goose body and chassis were built from a Buick automobile. The new Buick body was cut off behind the front seat and a new rear wall installed. The steering wheel was removed as it was not needed, but the other controls remained. The front axle was removed and replaced with a swiveling two axle lightweight railroad truck with sixteen inch diameter wheels that carried and guided the front of the Goose. Ahead of the front truck is the pilot (cow catcher) attached to the frame. Two small pivoted scrapers attached to the rear of the pilot slide on the rails to keep small objects on the track from derailing the lightweight front truck. During the winter season a small snow plow (now stored on the car's flatbed) was attached to the front of the pilot. The rear of the car frame was lengthened using steel channel riveted together but welded to the frame to carry the truck type flat-bed platform. The bed has short stake racks around the sides to keep materials from falling off. The Goose was originally powered by the 6-cylinder engine, clutch and transmission that came with the Buick. The drive chain powers the rear swiveling two axle truck assembly mounted under the rear frame and platform bed. The drive shaft turns only the forward axle. The rearmost axle is driven by roller chains and sprockets mounted outside of the wheels on each side. The rear truck has twenty four-inch diameter cast wheels. The braking is accomplished by brake shoes between the axles on each truck being pushed against the wheel treads. These are actuated by linkage connecting them to the normal foot pedal and parking brake lever. The foot brake is connected to the front truck and the parking brake lever is connected to the rear truck. Goose No. 6 received air brakes about 1939. The paint colors of Goose No. 6 early on is still an item of much discussion. Examination of the paint layers on the rear bed revealed only black and then aluminum that was used after 1935.
The Buick body on Goose No. 6 was replaced around 1942 with the body of a Pierce-Arrow automobile, probably a Pierce-Arrow Model 36. The Buick engine was also replaced with the Pierce-Arrow engine. Soon after a small box was attached behind and above the rear seat, probably to carry lunches and small tools. Around 1949 a second gas tank was placed on the cab roof. This was in addition to the other tank under the right front of the bed. Both tanks were hooked up to the engine. The automotive style marker lights were removed from the side of the cab and railroad style markers were placed on top of the cab at the outer edges. This is its current configuration as displayed at the Museum.

The Westiepoo is a mixed breed dog — a cross between the West Highland White Terrier and Poodle dog breeds. Clever, active, and affectionate, these pups inherited some of the best qualities from both of their parents. Westiepoos are also sometimes known as Westiedoodles and Wee-Poos.
Affectionately known as Battleship rock off Wreck Island, Georgian Bay. Depending on the water level it is either a peninsula or single island, in the shape of a submarine (more or less). This year the water level is approximately 40cm higher, so now it sits as an island.

Here's a pre-dawn shot in of a mother and cub I ran across earlier this year. I've worked really hard to reduce then noise to a usable level because I love the moment between these two. I'm not sure I succeeded, but I still love the interaction.

The Indiana Roof Ballroom, affectionately called the “Roof,” has been an important part of downtown Indianapolis since 1927 when it first opened it's doors. Located above the Indiana Repertory Theatre, it has hosted famous performers, big band dances, fundraisers, corporate parties, weddings and special events for nearly a century, and is considered one of the most historic venues in the entire Midwest.
Dreamed up in 1926 by Edgar O. Hunter and Preston Rubush, the Roof first opened in September of 1927. Designed to appear as if you were in a European village, no detail was forgotten. Painted grapevines creep up plaster columns and the stucco facades, doorways and balconies contain exquisite details and even the staircase railings have ornate woodwork. The domed ceiling resembles a starry night sky, with soft clouds and a crescent moon.
ndiana Repertory Theatre, frequently abbreviated IRT, is a professional regional theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana that began as a genuine repertory theatre with its casts performing in multiple shows at once. It has subsequently become a regional theatre and a member of the League of Resident Theatres. A standard season typically consists of nine or ten plays on two different stages (with at least two selected especially although not exclusively for student audiences, one of which is often a Shakespeare play) and the bulk of its season (including a holiday show, usually Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol) performed on the OneAmerica Stage.
The theatre company has history in two theatre buildings. It began in 1972 in The Athenaeum. In 1980, the IRT moved to its current home, The Indiana Theatre, a former Paramount Pictures Publix Theatre at 140 West Washington Street, built in 1927 and converted from a movie theater for IRT's
Sturdy and fun loving, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier dog breed is a friend to one and all. They’re relatively easygoing for a terrier, need a moderate amount of exercise, and can make a great family dog. These affectionate pups love just about everybody they meet. They’re even good for first-time pet parents and apartment dwellers. But beware: that soft, silky coat needs a lot of grooming, and the Wheaten can occasionally be hard headed when it comes to training.
My somewhat clumsy yet affectionate tribute to Ursula Le Guin's beautiful novel and second entry to the Hammertime figbarf contest. I've done four of the main characters and two generic Gethenians. If anyone has read the book and has some advice of what I could improve please let know.
Estraven, Prime Minister of Karhide. One gets the sense of Estraven being someone who has much to say but feels that he cannot, so I tried to convey this by having his beard cover his mouth but retaining his expressive eyes.
Genly Ai, the Terran, sent to Gethen on a mission of first contact. He finds the extreme cold of the planet difficult to acclimatise to so I've got him pretty much bundled up in layers of clothing. Also he's taller than everyone on Gethen; the cold has given the local people shorter statures.
King Argaven, the paranoid ruler of Karhide. At the start of the novel, his is officially opening a new bridge, so I've decided to suggest some ceremonial attire of that occasion.
Faxe, a Foreteller of the Handdara. Faxe is described as being a very beautiful so I've attempted to suggest his calm and angelic demeanor. I struggled with his design the most.
A typical Gethenian out collecting seeds, he could be Goss whom Genly meets in his travels. He is wearing a thick pouch around his neck that he can pull over his head if he gets cold. Similarly, on his wrists he wears gloves that can be rolled back as need.
A guard of the Orgota, which is something of a Communist country and also trade partner of Karhide. He is holding a sonic gun, shield and is wearing an animal skin fur uniform.
Affectionately know as "Bug Light"
The lighthouse was first built in 1855, as a wooden structure, but the breakwater was extended and a new lighthouse was constructed at the end of it in 1875. The new lighthouse was made of curved cast-iron plates whose seams are disguised by six decorative Corinthian columns. Its design was inspired by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, made well known by engravings. The architect was Thomas U. Walter, most noted as the designer of the U.S. Capitol east and west wings and its current dome. Wooden sheds and a six-room house for the lighthouse-keeper were added incrementally as needed. In 1897 Spring Point Ledge Light was erected and the houses around Bug Light were demolished and the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse keepers tended to both lighthouses. During World War II, the breakwater was slowly absorbed by landfill as the New England Shipbuilding Corporation built two shipyards next to the lighthouse. These shipyards produced Liberty Ships for the war effort. Because of the smaller breakwater, there was a lesser need for the lighthouse and it was decommissioned in 1943.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, also affectionately known as the 'Coathanger', was opened on March 19th 1932.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore.
The dramatic view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of both Sydney and Australia.
Known affectionately by the locals as Thieves' Market (Singapore), the sungei rd flea market will soon make way for new residential project on 11 July 2017.
This is a place that I affectionately refer to as my back yard. A few years ago before I bought my house, I rented a place just down the hill from here, so it really was my back yard. Now I’m 9 miles up the road, so it’s more of my front yard these days. I’ve been in love with these hills for over a decade, and I’ve tried to photograph them on several occassions. I’ve never gotten anything I’ve been happy with until now. We’ve been having some unseasonally late storms roll through the area, and I got this shot about a week and a half ago as one of the storms was clearing out. In a couple more weeks, these hills will be turning brown. In fact, they are already less green than when I took this.
If you happen to love these hills too, check out Galen Rowell’s book Bay Area Wild. This was literally his back yard as he was growing up, and he’s got some fantastic images of these hills, as well as a ton of amazing images from all over the Bay.

The Argus C3, affectionately known as "The Brick," boasts a fascinating history. Introduced in 1939, it emerged as a symbol of reliability and simplicity in the realm of 35mm film cameras. Its robust design even earned it the moniker "The American Leica."
During World War II, the Argus C3 gained popularity among soldiers and war correspondents for its durability. Beyond its wartime significance, the Argus C3 continued to be a favored choice for amateur photographers post-war, selling a record-breaking 2.2 million units over 33 years of production. Its affordability and straightforward functionality made it accessible to a broad audience, solidifying its status as one of the most popular American cameras in history, a distinction it maintains even today.
The camera's unique design and its substantial contribution to photography cement its place as a noteworthy artifact in the evolution of film cameras.

Affectionately known as 'Billy' at the ELR, 4002 is one of a pair of Hudswell Diesel-Electrics which were used by the Manchester Ship Canal Company as part of their extensive fleet operating around Trafford Park.
The pair were numbered 4001/2 at the MSC. Sister loco 4001 also survived for many years as a static non-operational exhibit at the Winfields Store site at Acre Village (between Haslingden and Accrington) however the loco was cut up in 2018 as it was in a poor state. 4001 has donated many parts to allow 4002 to live on as a working example. Information from East Lancs Railway diesel web site. Billy is seen here with a demonstration photographic train at Castlecroft diesel depot
