M62M-012 ze składem ładownych cystern wypełnionych paliwem lotniczym relacji: Płock Trzepowo - Warszawa Okęcie, przed chwilą wyjechał ze stacji początkowej i zmierza w kierunku Płocka.
Getting as close as I possibly can on a circuit board, harvested from a remote-controlled power outlet whose remote went belly-up, capturing examples of tiny surface-mount devices, possibly resistors. The ruler scale at the bottom is in millimeters.
Taken with the Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens at 5X magnification. At that setting, the lens has to be less than an inch (25.4mm) from the subject, making lighting difficult. The lens and camera were attached to a macro focusing rail, a necessary but very finicky device (more so at extreme magnification) used to move the camera fore and aft to focus. Given my sometimes uncooperative set of hands I have, it was a challenge, indeed.
When this day began, I was comfortably trapped in my chic little Icelandic hotel cabin by snow drifts covering the door that were over five feet high. I heard some scrapping noises and peered out the window next to the door. The ever cheerful English guy in the bright red parka grinned back at me with his infectious smile. With a loud "good morning, Anne!", he waved the tiny shovel that he'd purchased at the Iceland version of the convenience store just the day before in the 'remote' chance that we might be snowed in at some point in the trip. Within time, I was freed into the wildly blowing subzero winds.
Our destination was Reynisfjara, one of the most beautiful and yet dangerous beaches in Iceland. I had seen the videos showing tourists trapped in terrifying sneaker waves on this beach and so I was careful not to get caught in one myself. We had not been so lucky a few days earlier at the beach in Vik which managed to swamp us with a rogue wave of freezing water - despite our best efforts to keep an eye out.
The temperatures this day were so far below freezing that it didn't matter what the number was -it was just bitterly cold. The winds were so strong that I felt that I was pushing against a wall just to walk forward. I took off in an opposite direction from my friends to find a different point of view. Hiking up to this overlook, I found a little shelter from the wind and I was able to set up my tripod and catch this scene just as the morning sun began to light up a bit. The sea looks almost benign in this image but believe me, it was very rough and thunderously loud as the crashing waves landed on the obsidian sands and rocks.
I know that I had a huge smile on my face that morning. I'm smiling right now just thinking about how good it feels to be in places like this which challenge us to thrive in adverse conditions. On this International Women's Day, don't give me a pair of fancy designer shoes, but give me more days like this one.

Wakering Photography Group Street Photography Printed Challenge.
This is my entry for the printed challenge, I was passing this row of shops on the way home and spotted this fellow sitting outside a clock repair and sales shop.
I did a u turn and was lucky enough to photograph him at this appropriate moment, I was pleased the group voted this in third place.
Florida has one of the densest concentrations of nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states, with an estimated 1,500 nesting pairs. Concentrations of nesting territories are clustered around several significant lake, river, and coastal systems throughout the state. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has monitored the population of nesting bald eagles in Florida since 1972.
The bald eagle was removed from the USFWS endangered species list and the FWC imperiled species list in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The bald eagle continues to be protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, along with the state bald eagle rule (68A-16.002, F.A.C.).
This male and female were issuing a challenge (or warning) to another Bald eagle couple which had flown into their territory!
I suppose the fog would make "observing" a challenge.
The Dominion Observatory was an astronomical observatory in Ottawa, Ontario that operated from 1902 to 1970. The Observatory was also an institution within the Canadian Federal Government. The observatory grew out of the Department of the Interior's need for the precise coordinates and timekeeping that at that time could only come from an observatory. For several years they had used a small observatory on the Ottawa River for this purpose. In 1902, it was decided that Canada needed a larger national observatory similar to the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Britain.

Saturday Self Challenge: Surprise
When we saw our 14 year old grandson just over two months ago, he was playing pleasant tunes on the piano, Returning this week, we were amazed to hear classical music wafting through the house. Here he playing the main theme from the movie "Interstellar". A most pleasant surprise indeed.
Okay, girls I've got one!!!! He's headed for the hummingbird feeder to drink the nectar. Challenge met!

The resistance.
The Challenge was take a photo of a memorial, all the ones I thought of were understandably in use this week with D Day 75 so I took a photo of a memorial seat in a churchyard (zoom in to see the plate) I don't know whether this is a British thing or everyone has them. we get them on the seafront still being decked with flowers. but I liked this peaceful one under a tree.
My thanks to all who visit and comment

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

Our Daily Challenge 16-22 January : One of my Favourite Songs.
I actually much prefer music without words, but I do have lots of songs that I like, although the tune is always more important to me than the words!
Here is an upbeat version of Amazing Grace by Mumford and Sons which is very enjoyable for the enthusiasm and musicianship.
I belong to a group on Facebook called 52Frames where each week a challenge is give for a certain type of photograph. This weeks challenge was Bokeh and this was my top choice of all the photos I took. You can see a couple that did not make the cut in the comments below, plus the photo from yesterday. I liked this one because of the composition, the softer colors and the ornamental grass seed heads looked a bit like a Fleur-de-Lis. One of the more fun challenges! Next week it will be photographing a bathroom with an extra challenge being a public bathroom which.... Mmm. Not going to happen! LOL
