It should be (just looked on the web, I know nothing about Entomology) of the Cylindromyia genus, belonging to the family of the Tachinid Flies. View Large On Black.
Another bout of flyposters vs. glasgow shitty council as the battle between them intensifies. This one is particularly reminiscent of some of de Kooning's later and more austere paintings.
... I must be sickening for something. A shot from the landing window, this time looking at Kidsgrove's long disused windmill. The building has been derelict for aeons, though off the top of my head, I couldn't say for how long. I regret that although I've lived in the town all my life, and it's barely half a mile from where I'm typing this, I can't recall ever visiting it.
On the horizon is Cheshire's Delamere Forest

is a piece of modern sculpture by Anthony Gormley consisting of 100 cast iron figures facing out to sea on Crosby Beach, near Liverpool. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea...
Another Place is a subject of local controversy in Crosby. Some consider the statues to be "pornographic" due to the inclusion of a simplified penis on the statues,[citation needed] whilst others see them as beautiful pieces of art which have brought increased tourism revenue to the local area.[3] The debate continues as to whether the town should be able to keep them until 2008, Liverpool's year as Capital of Culture. Those who use the front for watersports voice the strongest resistance to the iron men staying, as the statues do pose a safety problem[citation needed] - especially as the local marina is being closed to public use. While these sportsmen have a serious claim to getting rid of the statues, keeping them until 2008 will no doubt be beneficial for the economy of Crosby and Waterloo,[citation needed] and if they stay it seems more likely a multi-million pound watersports centre will be built. Art lovers and local businesses are lobbying for the statues to stay. Gormley himself agrees with the proposal to keep the statues in Crosby, saying that the current location is "ideal".[4] The works, which had earlier been displayed in Germany, Norway and Belgium, became a major tourist attraction on Crosby Beach near Liverpool.
As of March 2007 permission was granted to have Another Place permanently installed at Crosby. Initially, coastguard authorities expressed safety fears, saying people could become stuck in soft sand and be cut off by the tide when viewing the statues up close.[citation needed]
Conservationists had also complained that bird-feeding areas had been compromised by the extra tourist traffic.[citation needed]
In October 2006, the local council refused permission for the statues to stay, prompting Gormley to criticise what he called Britain's "risk-averse culture." He said "When I have been down on the beach myself, the majority of people have been intrigued, amused, sometimes very moved," he said. [5]
Another Body Place Ltd, a body set up to campaign for the permanent installation, helped to convince the council to change its mind.
Graham Haywood, Chief Executive of Sefton Council, said in a statement "Despite some controversy, this internationally renowned artwork has aroused national and international public and media support." Saying that "The Iron Men have placed Crosby and Sefton firmly in the spotlight and the knock-on benefits of this should be felt for years to come." [6]
The planning committee decided to move 16 of the statues back away from an area used by small sailing craft. Three others are being re-sited away from bird feeding areas. The work on the 16 started on July 16 2007 and the plan is to put them in storage and return them in 2008. The full cost is expected to be £194,000 which will be paid for by Another Place Ltd, with funding coming from sources including The Northern Way and Northwest Development Agency. [7]
On the 14th Feb 2008, five of the statues were used in a costume design project by Edge Hill University students. This involved dressing the statues in various items of clothing replicating different costumes and periods, which were then removed as the tide came in.
Another wacky snapshot that fell victim to a leaky camera. This one looks like a vacation photo. The date 1946 is stamped on the back along with "Hughes Studio, Chillicothe, Ohio (developing/printing service). Found in Ohio.
After a good days work (10 pies thrown in my face), it's time to wipe the pie out of my eyes, enjoy the laughs and drive home in this mess.
Here is another individual feeding the Key Deer this is about 15 minutes after the previous photo.
There were a couple of people that suggested that I send the first photo to the authorities. These photos were taken on No Name Key when we went back to Big Pine we stopped in the Key Deer Refuge to give them the photos. They said it was the Holiday Weekend and there was no law personnel around and they weren't interested in the photos. We didn't know what to say!
I'm just another cat among many. Until recently, I too was homeless, then some good people left food
for me. And, the guy upstairs puts out water and strokes me a little. He calls me Stripey.
Just another cat? I'll bet there isn't a cat anywhere, with the colors and markings in her coat like mine.
I'm good natured too, and have been lucky; the other cats hang out on the far side of the parking lot.

Magic at the Mill, Salem, Oregon
The Thomas K. Woolen mill, warehouse and the mill bldg, are lit up with many thousands of lights every year from Dec. 19 to Dec. 23. This year, unknown to me there was a private party. The site was open so I proceeded to take photos, unobstructed by the usual crowds.
Another shot of the Absolute Touring Setra S431 DT tour bus, reg. no. Mg Z 4422, seen here at Trecco Bay Holiday Park, Porthcawl, South Wales. Planet Rockstock 2015 was being held at the holiday park and I'm guessing this tour bus was being used by Rival Sons who were headlining this day.
The picture was taken on 5 December 2015.
Another model of the city of Singapore in minature in the Singapore City Gallery. This one is incredibly detailed with building features clearly defined. We were able to find our hostel pretty easily.
This is a digital version of the print that I have made using Adobe Photo shop I had added colors that would have been used of album covers
Más flores. Llamando a la primavera a ver si me escucha y no tarda demasiado en llegar.
Gracias por tu visita/Thanks for visiting.
Another pole...
I like very much our poles, they are amazing.
I like the wires and the lines made in the sky.
Another post from my trip to Monument Valley.
The Navajo name for the valley is Tsé Bii' Ndzisgaii which means Valley of the Rocks.
Numerous TV shows and Hollywood movies have been shot here in the valley.
