Waiting for hours behind a post: as boring as it gets. Tokyo, near Shibuya. Zeiss Planar 50/1.7 at 1.7.
A friend called me this afternoon to tell me he had a boreal owl sitting at his bird feeder.
When I first got there, the owl was consuming a redpoll, so I guess we all have different definitions for "bird feeder"!
This is the current Amtrak station in Pittsburgh. It's clean and serviceable, but hardly inviting. Never mind for a moment that Pittsburgh has two intact neoclassical palace train terminals, including Daniel Burnham's masterpiece for the Pennsy (trial run for DC Union) right above. This station isn't awful - there are vending machines, non-gross restrooms, and baggage service (surprisingly rare). But it's honestly an insult. I've been to bus stations in rural Costa Rica which had more services on offer, and train stations in tiny, two-street Japanese towns which had better seats and 10X more trains daily.
Okay, so I'm only ranting because I arrived 2.5 hours early - in part since I had to check the bike (1 hour) and also because I entered the wrong time into my calendar (something I sometimes do in an attempt to improve my punctuality). Yet the hour ahead is also an infrastructure failure. Amtrak might be bike-friendly by the standards of American intercity common carriers, but it has a bewilderingly complicated bike policy. Only a handful of trains (the California commuters) have equipment that lets customers roll bikes on board. For most long-distance trains, bikes must be checked as baggage - even though many (including mine tonight) run with vast empty rooms on their lower levels. Not only does checked baggage require a much earlier arrival, but also partially disassembling the bike and stuffing it into a $15 box. Even this hassle isn't available at most locations, and not at all on numerous lines serving smaller communities.
Okay, so ultimately it might only be my fault that I got here too early and thus missed out on a drink. However, this situation wouldn't be nearly so dreadful if America had a worthy rail system.
My granddaughter aged 2 got bored on a car journey and found a tin of Sudocrem in the baby bag. This is the result
This is the fountain in the shopping district of Bushnell. This young man is waiting for something to do.
This young boy was obviously bored but the young girl was fully engrossed in her apple.

WAYNE BORING
Showcase 10
Wayne Boring was born on June 5, 1905, in Minnesota. He studied art at the Chicago Art institute and Minnesota School of Art, becoming a comic artist for National Publications in 1937 where he ghosted "Slam Bradley", "Spy" and "Dr.Occult" for Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel.
After the success of "Superman" in 1938 Joe Shuster opened his own studio and pulled a few artists from DC to help illustrate the Superman stories that the studio supplied to DC under contract alongside other artists including Ed Dobrotka, Stan Kaye and Paul Cassidy & Leo Nowak as well as others.
Over the course of the next 30 years Boring did little else than Superman and became one of the most recognizable artists to draw the character. During the early years at the Shuster Studio, Wayne was emulating the "Shuster Style" as were all the artists there. But by 1942 he had developed a clear style heavily influenced by Flash Gordon artist & creator Alex Raymond.
Wayne's work on Superman stories over the next 30 years was a longer relationship than any other artist would have with any other character in the history of comic books. He also illustrated the sunday and daily comic strips from the middle 1940's to the 1960's - though not continually as the strip was illustrated by numerous artists chosen by DC Comics as opposed to the comic strip syndicate.
Unfortunately, his tenure as the Superman artist that was admired by 2 generations of comic fans would come to an end.
In 1968 with new editorship at DC Comics, several long time artists were dismissed as DC decided it was time to go for a new look at the flagship comic publisher. Wayne was let go along with George Papp (creator of Green Arrow) and Sheldon Moldoff (creator of Green Lantern and long time ghost artist on Batman).
After 1968 he quietly ghosted backgrounds for Hal Foster's epic "Prince Valiant" Sunday page from 1968 until 1972 as well as ghosting Sam Leff's "Davy Jones". He also worked at Marvel for a short period in the 1970's (it was actually something of a coup to have a longtime top DC artist at Marvel, although by now it was a pyric victory)
It was hard to believe that unlike Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert & other longtime artists that Wayne was not working in the comic industry and they weren't calling him.. So he went to work part time as a security guard at a Florida bank near where he lived.
However forgotten he may have been by the comic companies, he was far from forgotten by comic book fans who would write him and call him & seek him out at the few appearances he made at comic book conventions.
He loved talking to the fans and the fans loved talking to him, He would do comissions for fans of Superman & other DC characters and would continue to draw great Superman art until he away in 1987 of a heart attack.
Wayne Boring's Superman is one of the most enduring characters in the comics hobby. Boring's stylized artwork and fine linework along with his ability to handle science fiction subject has made him one of the most popular artists of his time, and among the most remembered in comics history.

My family and I went to watch the A380, because they said it was worth seeing. Well I don't think so. The pictures I took were all so boring, so I had to do something. Here's the result :P I'm still not sure about it though.

Normally I am not one to take pictures of people, but this boy was so cute during my daughters promotion ceremony. I set my camera on my legs and tried to point it in his direction so he had no idea I was taking his picture.
When I get bored or can't sleep I take pictures of my legs.
The tights by the way...I got them in a freebee goodie-bag last night at the Elle magazine-gala. Yeah that's right I stole a goodie bag!
They didn't invite me. I just worked and stole there. Hehe.
Fog is common near the Athabasca River valley near Fort McMurray in late summer. This area, near the Bridge to Nowhere, burned about 2003.
In the dog yard, nailed to a large spruce tree above Bozo's house we have a Boreal nesting box. It's been several years since it's been inhabited, but it appears as if we have a nesting pair this spring. I heard the male calling several weeks ago from the box, but I didn't think he was successful in attracting a mate. There have been reports of unexplained Boreal deaths so today I decided to check the box and was completely surprised when this little owl stuck his/her head out. Hopefully there will be enough food around for them to support a little family. In a day or two I'll check the box for eggs.
Looks pretty hip when viewed large.
