Military base explosion. Or simply portal to another world. Anyone can see what's possible happened to this abandoned location. For those who want more, come and see our video on youtube: youtu.be/-4DarIifnRc
Hey, guess who finally did some photography travelling after all this time? And hey, guess who managed to make it an absolute disaster like most times? Yes, me. Ugh. Let's just say - being dumped, coming off medication AND traveling whilst generally anxious doesn't make for a great time.

Ah, that's where everyone was. As we walked up to the Town Hall we heard the murmur of people. It turned out that a local pub was absolutely full of people - the whole town could have been robbed! Thankfully, Michael and I are not robbers but it does seem as though we managed to visit the town without anyone noticing.

While watching the sun set, and soaking in the beauty with a few shots, we noticed a Dolphin swimming in the Harbor...the picture below.

Neubiberg Air Base is a former German Air Force and United States Air Force airfield which was closed in 1991. Today it is used as a leisure area.
A plane window view looking over the Yukon Territory in Canada (based on the flight information on the seat back) while on a flight out of Anchorage to Minneapolis. What drew me into the setting was a number of things, including sunlight across the snowcapped mountain peaks and the glacier flowing downward to the bottom of the image.
Later update that this setting I was looking at was Mount Blackburn while flying over the Yukon. The image is of Alaska with a north facing view to the mountain massif.
based on thorsten koch's photography "rowing in the clouds". A tribute to a wonderful photographer and flickr-friend.
Calm waters and lovely hazy sunshine down along the Ards Peninsula earlier this morning. A nice wee collection of ducks and ducklings as well :)
This poor old building used to have another sign behind this one. The building caught fire and the back wall has collapsed. There is no roof and I doubt any floors. Salt Lake Chocolates are still in business as far as I know. This sign will be gone sooner than later. Glad I caught it.
Pocatello, Idaho
Sign reads:
SWEETS
SALT LAKE
CHOCOLATES
and the tagline "Are Always Appreciated".
The final round of the Star Wars MOCBattle with Adam! The category was Starkiller Base. Now I really had a difficult time building this at first, but I think it turned out amazing in the end!
This has been an amazing time, and I've greatly enjoyed building all four eras of Star Wars!
Round 1: Old Republic: Alderaan
Round 2: The Clone Wars: Ryloth
Round 3: The Empire Era: Endor
Round 4: The First Order Era: Starkiller Base
Comments and criticism is greatly appreciated!

The Hellenic Army operates a fleet of 20 NHI NH-90 in the TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) version. It is used for special force usage. EΣ851 is one of them and was present as a static airframe during Athens Flying Week.
A recent addition to the great collection of art throughout the city. I thought this was pretty great.
Close in capture of the pretty Moss Glen Falls in Vermont. A stitch of two images here to get a wider view from close in at the base. Had to do this in order NOT to get the large fallen tree that was across the scene.
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Musk Lorikeet
Glossopsitta concinna
Bird Overview: The Musk Lorikeet specialises in feeding on the nectar which is produced by flowering eucalypts, and sometimes also from the flowers of banksias and grevilleas. They collect nectar with their brush-shaped tongues. Musk Lorikeets are usually seen feeding in large noisy flocks in the canopy of eucalypts, often associating with other nectar-feeding birds, especially Rainbow Lorikeets and honeyeaters. The movements of Musk Lorikeets are often correlated with the flowering of trees, with birds appearing when the trees are in bloom, and leaving after the flowering has finished.
Identification: The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, sturdy lorikeet, sometimes seen in large flocks when trees are flowering and often in mixed flocks with other parrots and other birds. They are active and noisy. This lorikeet is mostly green, with a yellow patch at the side of the breast. It has a bright red forehead and band through the eye to the ear coverts. The crown is blue, with females having less blue than males. In flight, brown flight feathers and the golden tail are revealed. Flight is fast and direct, with short angular wings and a medium-length, pointed to wedge-shaped tail.
Songs and Calls: The usual contact call is a shrill metallic screech, higher than the Rainbow Lorikeet, in flight and when perched. They constantly chatter when feeding.
Habitat: Musk Lorikeets are found in tall, open, dry forest and woodlands, dominated by eucalypts and are usually found in the canopy. They are also seen in suburban areas, parks and street trees. They roost or loaf in tall trees away from their feeding sites.
Behaviour: Musk Lorikeets are gregarious, often mixing with other parrots when feeding, including Scaly-breasted Lorikeets, Little Lorikeets and Swift Parrots.
Feeding: Musk Lorikeets feed in all levels of the canopy and are very active when foraging. They eat mainly pollen and nectar from eucalypts using their specialised brush-tipped tongues, but also eat seeds, fruits and insects and their larvae.
Breeding: Musk Lorikeets breed in hollow branches and holes in living eucalypts, often near watercourses. The entrance holes are usually very small, so they have to squeeze in. Eggs are laid on a base of chewed or decayed wood. The female incubate the eggs and both parents roost in the hollow at night.

I've made a habit of photographing the statue of General Gordon in Gordon Gardens, Gravesend: this is its base, a series of concrete circles supporting the column that the statue stands on. Below the concrete circles a further circle of bricks or setts; the little out of focus flecks of green are grass/moss growing between these stones.
I was wandering around the park, hoping to take advantage of the very bright but low sun, hence this. Shot with my Tokina 200mm lens.
