La fotografía macro en general, y de insectos en particular, es uno de los campos que quiero probar más a fondo en este 2023.
Que sea un año al menos tan bueno como el que acabamos de despedir. Salud para todas!
I apparently ticked off this bumblebee that was intently feeding on clover...When he finally noticed he was being watched he angrily buzzed my head several times to let me know that I had overstepped my bounds.

Buzz Lightyear stands tall near the Mission: Space attraction at EPCOT. Mission: Space has had its share of controversies and may not be for everyone, but I really enjoy it. That being said, I have a pretty strong stomach for thrill rides.

Summer Streets are BACK!
Sunday May 1st, our buzzing main street called Laugavegur was officially closed off to motor traffic! It´´s been done in previous years and the transition to closed streets has been given the title of ‘Summer Streets’. To us Icelanders, this means more than just pedestrian dominated streets closed to vehicles. This means much longer days with more sunlight allowing us to stay out in the wilderness longer and enjoy a beer (or two) on a patio outside.

A very trying process, sitting on damp grass in a gale trying to photograph bees. I never realised just how fast they move!

Two of the many perks of running an online business.
1.You get to work from home, or in my case, from the other side of the world!
2. The cast is perfect for some juicy advertising space!Branding buzz!
Famous aerobatic pilot Dave Mathieson flies upside down as he buzzes San Francisco Bay in his two seat tandem Scheyden MX2 sport aircraft produced by MX Aircraft of North Carolina. It is one of the world’s most advanced aerobatic aircraft.
Met Buzz Lightear on my travels this morning. This dude was happily chewing the cud while I composed the shot.

The Fremont Bridge is a steel tied-arch bridge over the Willamette River located in Portland, Oregon, United States. It carries Interstate 405 and US 30 traffic between downtown and North Portland where it intersects with Interstate 5. It has the longest main span of any bridge in Oregon and is the second longest tied-arch bridge in the world (after Caiyuanba Bridge across the Yangtze River, China). The bridge was designed by Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas, and built by Murphy Pacific Corporation.
The bridge has two decks carrying vehicular traffic, each with four lanes. The upper deck is signed westbound on US 30 and southbound on I-405. The lower deck is signed eastbound on US 30 and northbound on I-405.
Due to the public's dissatisfaction with the appearance of the Marquam Bridge, the Portland Art Commission was invited to participate in the design process of the Fremont. The improvement in visual quality resulted in a bridge that was nearly six times as expensive as the purposely economical Marquam Bridge. Designers modeled the bridge after the original 1964 Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The steel tie-girder (I-beam) is 18 feet (5.5 m) tall and 50 inches (130 cm) wide. On October 28, 1971, while still under construction, a six-foot-long (1.8 m) crack was found on the west span of this girder that required a $5.5 million redesign and repair. The ramps and approaches are steel box girders. If the lanes of the bridge were placed end-to-end, there are 3.27 lane-miles (5.26 lane-km) on the arch bridge and 14.12 lane-miles (22.72 lane-km) on the ramps and approaches.
The center span of the bridge, where the rib of the arch is above the deck, is 902 feet (275 m) long. It was fabricated in California then assembled at Swan Island Industrial Park, 1.7 miles (2.7 km) downstream. After assembly it was floated on a barge the 1.7 mile trip to the construction site. On March 16, 1973, the 6,000 short tons (5,400 t) steel arch span was lifted 170 ft (52 m) using 32 hydraulic jacks. At the time, it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the heaviest lift ever completed.
The bridge was opened on November 15, 1973, at a final cost of $82 million (equivalent to $524 million in 2020), most of which was financed by the Federal Highway Administration. In 1976, an American flag and an Oregon flag were added atop the structure as part of the bicentennial celebration for the United States. The flags were installed with the use of a helicopter. The 15-by-25-foot (4.6 m × 7.6 m) flags are attached to 50-foot (15 m) tall flagpoles at the crest of the arches.
The Fremont Bridge was also the 26th Peregrine falcon nest site designated in Oregon in 1995 after the raptor was placed on the U.S. Threatened and Endangered Species list in 1970.
The bridge as well as Portland's associated Fremont Street were named for John C. Fremont (1813–1890). Fremont was an early explorer of the Oregon Country. He served in the United States Army at the time as a Captain and later promoted to General. In 1856, he ran for president, but was defeated by James Buchanan.
