(three more 'fun photos from this marina' in the comments)
***************************************************************************************
Key West Bight Marina is nestled in the middle of the City of Key West's Seaport properties located in the historic district. The Key West Bight is a twenty acre facility that has become a major destination for those wishing to experience the ways of the old waterfront of Key West. A visitor to the "Bight" can enjoy a blend of the old with the new. You can go sailing on a historic schooner one day and go diving, fishing, parasailing or take a catamaran trip to the reef the next. Key West Bight Marina has quickly become the most sought after marina facility in the City of Key West. Live-aboards enjoy it's affordable rates and nearby location to old town. This also is a great benefit to the marina's commercial tenants. The beautiful HarborWalk is lined with fine restaurants and other food orientated businesses which attract tourists and locals to the Bight area where it is easy to browse near the commercial, water oriented activities that are available here. It is truly amazing! Come and visit the island!

'On Feb. 22nd 1968 Mike Walker and I completed a most successful day in Cheshire by visiting the MPD at Speke Junction. Mike uses his cine camera to record the spectacular departure of 9F no 92091 on a heavy mixed freight.'
An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.
browsing through old pictures i didn't get to upload.
i really envy you who are having autumn. it's almost 100 degrees here!
Sorry for another image dump guys but I want to populate a new album of insects for 2020, please feel free to browse if you want or just ignore.

After browsing the site for a while, I decided that I'm going to give this 365 self portraits project a shot :) I have a feeling it will be great for my creativity. Seems like this will get me shooting even on days when i don't feel like it. Looking forward to learning and growing over the next year!
(oh yeah, and hopefully by the end of the year, I wont have any shots with cigarettes in them. Time to quit haha)

As you drive through Zion National Park you see these beautiful cliffs all along the road. Photographed this view during our visit in the Spring (May) 2018. With this shot I used the Sony A7RM3 with the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4.0 ZA OSS lens. This was a handheld shot at 1/1250 sec a f/4.0 with ISO 100. Post processing with Adobe Lightroom Classic and Luminar 4.

Just after coming into the park there is a visitor center. A trail leads off of the visitor center, and on the beginning of the trail there were three female mule deer browsing on trees. This is one of those deer, and they did not seem to mind the people walking on the trail. They were very close, but hidden off to the side. The deer seemed a little scruffy in appearance. They seem to have become habituated to people visiting the park. In all my time in the parks I visited, I never saw a male mule deer.
The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is a deer indigenous to western North America; it is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. There are believed to be several subspecies including the black-tailed deer.
Unlike the related white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer are generally more associated with the land west of the Missouri River, and more specifically with the Rocky Mountain region of North America.
Ik was twee weken terug in Ede en had gezocht naar wat invulling voor mijn dagen. Het Historisch museum leek mij wel wat.
En klein half uur lopen naar het station, door getreuzel onderweg zag ik alleen nog maar de achterlichten van de trein. Wat nu? half uurtje wachten of een goed half uur lopen naar het centrum. Dan maar aan de wandel. Onderweg nog ergens een kop thee genomen en toen naar het museum. Een museum dat ik niet vinden kon. Op Google maps veranderde mijn zoekopdacht "historisch museum ede" in "erfgoedcentrum ede". Ik kwam bij een gebouw dat niets had van een museum. Op het gebouw staat "cultura" en is versierd met allemaal vlaggen waarop allerlei culturele uitingen staan. Toch maar naar binnen en dan maar vragen waar het museum gebleven is.
Wat een herrie, schreeuwende, gillende rennende kinderen. En ergens in de verte was iemand aan het oefenen op een muziekinstrument, zo te horen een bas.
Ik naar de balie en vragen waar het museum gebleven is.
"De expositie is op de tweede verdieping", zei de mevrouw. "Nee, ik zoek het museum". "Ja, we hebben een posterexpositie op de tweede verdieping". "Dus het museum is weg?" "Nee, we gebruiken materialen uit het museum". Ik besloot dan maar boven te gaan kijken, maar vroeg de mevrouw eerst nog even of het boven ook zo lawaaiig was, want dit trek ik niet. "neeeee, boven niet hoor". Die vrouw is echt nooit boven geweest. Boven, beneden, het was één ruimte, wat een herrie. En er was niet veel te zien. Een zeer kleine, maar wel leuke, expositie over Engel Verkade, uitgever van de posters uit mijn jeugd. De bekende poster diplays waar je door de posters kon bladeren. Ze stonden bij de V en D en grotere boekhandels.
Ben ik normaal toch 1,5 tot 2 uur zoet in een museum stond ik nu zo weer buiten. Zoals te zien is heb ik me toen maar vermaakt met de Ede's kunst. Eerlijk is eerlijk, ze hebben genoeg kunst in Ede.

I was back in Ede two weeks ago and had been looking for something to do. The Historical Museum seemed like a good idea.
A short half-hour walk to the station, and because of the delays, all I could see were the train's taillights. What now? Wait for half an hour or walk a good half hour to the city center. So, I decided to walk. I stopped for a cup of tea somewhere along the way and then headed to the museum. A museum I couldn't find. On Google Maps, my search for "historical museum ede" changed to "heritage center ede." I came to a building that didn't look like a museum at all. The building says "cultura" and is decorated with flags depicting all sorts of cultural expressions. I decided to go in anyway and ask where the museum was.
What a racket, screaming, yelling, running children. And somewhere in the distance, someone was practicing a musical instrument, a bass by the sound of it.
I went to the counter and asked where the museum was.
"The exhibition is on the second floor," the woman said. "No, I'm looking for the museum." "Yes, we have a poster exhibition on the second floor." "So the museum is gone?" "No, we use materials from the museum." I decided to go upstairs, but first asked the woman if it was also this noisy upstairs, because I can't stand this. "Noooo, not upstairs." That woman had never been upstairs. Upstairs, downstairs, it was one room, so noisy. And there wasn't much to see. A very small, but nice exhibition about Engel Verkade, the publisher of the posters from my childhood. The familiar poster displays where you could browse through the posters. They were at V&D and larger bookstores.
I normally spend an hour and a half to two hours in a museum, but this time I was out again in no time. As you can see, I enjoyed myself with Ede's art. To be fair, they have plenty of art in Ede.
Information about Engel verkade:

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)
Cascade Mountains - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

I've added lots of Flickr Notes to this image. Not all browsers support them, but if yours does, there's plenty of additional information in the notes. Simply hover your cursor over the image and you should see the Notes.
If you're interested in the 1960s restoration of Lower Manhattan as well as detailed information about the politics, economic factors, the war between the Port Authority and Mayor John Lindsay which were all in play during the planning and construction of the WTC, I highly recommend the book "City In The Sky" by James Glanz and Eric Lipton.

Interesting design.
Browsing some old National Geographic mags of my father I came across all this great camera ads, too good to keep them hidden, although I don't like to post this kind of stuff on my Flickr.

The weekend street market in the Old Town's Grassmarket has returned as Covid restrictions ease. Including the music stall. So as well as having a photo stroll I got to indulge in my first browse of some vinyl records in many, many months, and very satisfying it was... (and yes, of course I treated myself to something, picked up a nice Ornette Coleman live album)
A quick browse failed to identify this plant in the Townsville Palmetum, but I was grateful for the two butterfly species that chose it, almost simultaneously.
This first fly-in feeder is the common Lemon Migrant, familiar to observers throughout tropical and sub-tropical Australia, Asia, the Pacific and Africa. Four species of Migrants reach Australia.

Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
"Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" is an English nursery rhyme, the earliest surviving version of which dates from 1731. The words have changed little in two and a half centuries. It is sung to a variant of the 1761 French melody Ah! vous dirai-je, maman. Uncorroborated theories have been advanced to explain the meaning of the rhyme. These include that it is a complaint against Medieval English taxes on wool and that it is about the slave trade. In the twentieth century it was a subject of controversies in debates about political correctness. It has been used in literature and popular culture as a metaphor and allusion. The Roud Folk Song Index classifies the lyrics and their variations as number 4439.
The rhyme is a single stanza in trochaic metre, which is common in nursery rhymes and relatively easy for younger children to master. The Roud Folk Song Index, which catalogues folk songs and their variations by number, classifies the song as 4439 and variations have been collected across Great Britain and North America.
The rhyme is usually sung to a variant of the 1761 French melody Ah! vous dirai-je, maman, which is also used for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and the "Alphabet song". The words and melody were first published together by A. H. Rosewig in (Illustrated National) Nursery Songs and Games, published in Philadelphia in 1879.
As with many nursery rhymes, attempts have been made to find origins and meanings for the rhyme, most which have no corroborating evidence. Katherine Elwes Thomas in The Real Personages of Mother Goose (1930) suggested that the rhyme referred to resentment at the heavy taxation on wool. This has particularly been taken to refer to the medieval English "Great" or "Old Custom" wool tax of 1275, which survived until the fifteenth century. More recently the rhyme has been connected to the slave trade, particularly in the southern United States. This explanation was advanced during debates over political correctness and the use and reform of nursery rhymes in the 1980s, but has no supporting historical evidence. Rather than being negative, the wool of black sheep may have been prized as it could be made into dark cloth without dyeing.

You may think there's nothing unusual about seeing sheep grazing on the Isle of Wight but some are a little bit different. Let me introduce you to the black sheep in the National Trust family...
History
Hebridean sheep are an ancient breed of medium-sized black sheep, which came from the islands off the west coast of Scotland. They're often known as St Kilda sheep.
The first feral animals, small and hardy with hair coats, were domesticated by Iron-Age farmers. Their thick black fleece is a result of selective breeding, and it turns greyer with age.
Had it not been fashionable to keep them in the parkland of country estates, they may well have died out.
But in the 20th century they were brought back from the brink of extinction and now they're widely used by conservation organisations.
The National Trust first bought them in the early 1990s from an Isle of Wight rare breed farm.
What makes them special?
They chose Hebridean sheep because they're excellent at scrub control, preferring to browse coarse vegetation rather than flowers such as orchids and cowslips.
And they'll happily eat docks, thistle flowers and nettles.
They're a low-maintenance breed and are hardy – they don’t seem to mind bad weather conditions or a poor diet, unlike some other breeds.
So They use them to restore and maintain areas of chalk grassland where we want to encourage the return of delicate wildflowers. They're also effective in restoring lowland heath, where they reduce the scrub that shades the heather.
How do They use them?
They move the sheep around quite a bit, using small flocks in places that are too small or unsuitable for cattle.
So you may often see them grazing on St Helens Common, at Bembridge Windmill, on Culver Down and Ventnor Downs, and alongside the Tennyson Trail at Freshwater Bay.
They also help maintain sites owned by the Wildlife Trust such as Bouldnor Heath Forest. We've a small breeding flock at Newtown and Clamerkin, which provides replacements for the ‘satellite’ flocks.
Caring for Their sheep
Their rangers and volunteers are responsible for looking after the sheep and moving them around the Isle of Wight to wherever they're needed.
They shear them in early spring to reduce the risk of ticks and fly-strike, a particularly unpleasant condition that occurs in hot, wet conditions.
But, generally, they're quite self sufficient, enjoying the environment and playing an important part in our family.

Gentleman browsing a street stall on the Royal Mile - not sure as I was on other side of the road, but I think these may be handmade and bound journal or sketching books, as I've bought myself a couple of very similar ones at a craft fair stall in town before.
Browsing the reduced rails and trying on a selection of dresses will banish your worries and bring happiness. This was specially true for me in this dress. As I stepped out of my little room to check this dress in the big mirror at the end of the corridor, another woman said "That's beautiful!" Women are not ashamed to do these things for each other.
With the rains being so late this year the giraffe had resorted to browsing on the new growth from cabbage trees, not something I'd ever seen before.
If you zoom in you will also notice a red-billed oxpecker on the giraffe and a Fork Tailed Drongo waiting patiently for the giraffe to move and stir up some insects.

Grove Arcade Building - Asheville, NC
The Arcade Building was constructed between 1926 and 1929. It was designed by architect Charles N. Parker in the Tudor Gothic Revival style. Built by E.W. Grove, it has since remained one of Asheville's architectural marvels.
It served as a commercial shopping center until World War II, after which it housed government agencies including the National Climatic Data Center. It was reopened as a public market in 2002.
This photograph shows the Grove Arcade Building just after it's completion. It is from the E.M. Ball Collection. Link is to the University Archives of the Ramsey Library at the University of North Carolina at Asheville.
