I have shot August moonrises from the 156 St overpass above Yellowhead freeway many times but this was perhaps the cleanest sky ever for this location (the day before had a significant rain storm which cleaned the air nicely). While Alister shot an HDR timelapse and Vivek tried some handheld camera work, I captured this multi-composite spanning 32 minutes (22:28 to 23:00 MDT).
The bottom of the frame is constrained by the roof of an auto dealership but the distant horizon can be glimpsed silouhetted by the rising Moon at the lower left, just right of the Hat at Five Corners. From this viewpoint, the Moon clipped the Epcor Tower and then glided over the Edmonton Tower (displaying the perpetual aurora video to no one in particular), the JW Marriott Tower (housing the NHL's West Playoffs bubble players including the soon to be bounced Edmonton Oilers), the Stantec Tower (reminding of a certain monolith) and the now rather short looking Manulife Tower (whose alternating glass facets reflected the deep twilight sky glow from the NW).
Before the Epcor Tower was built one could see the CN Tower from here, but a blinking glimpse of it remains as a reflection below the video screen on the Edmonton Tower.
Alice and Daisy take life easy, and are probably not the cleanest they've ever been, but who really wants to sleep in a basket in the kitchen?

"Well, what do you think?"
"You have something here. I think we could sell this stuff. Now you are going to need to show me your secret and I think it would be best if I said I made it. Cats don't have the cleanest of paws."
"OK, but promise you won't freak out?"
"Oh no, I am afraid to ask."

Alternative Title: Know your Leica Ms.
Who'd have thought, when i got my very first Leica, my M2, that i would own such a wonderful set of cameras as this?
Spanning 54 years, here we have the Leica M2, Leica M6 TTL, Leica M8 and Leica M9.
Each have their own charm and skills, tho they share a strong family resemblance.
The Leica M2, from 1957, is a fully mechanical film camera, even down to the self timer on the front. It has no built in light meter, tops out at 1/1000 shutter speed and only framelines for 35mm/50mm/90mm lenses. It's the biggest, brightest, cleanest viewfinder (0.72x) of the lot and feels wonderful to use.
The Leica M6 TTL, is a mostly mechanical film camera, similar to the M2 in many ways. It's a little taller, is TTL flash compatible and has a built in light meter. It's operation is still fully mechanical tho, and while it uses batteries for the meter, it can be used without. Also topping out at 1/1000 shutter speed, it has a 0.85x viewfinder and paired framelines (35/135, 50/75 and 90mm) making it a bit more zoomed in and cluttered. It has no aperture priority setting, that came with the M7 and it's electronic shutter.
The Leica M8 is a digital camera, Leica's first digital M, and my favourite camera for a long time. It's a bit thicker and heavier than the film Ms, but still feels and works just the same. It's a quirky little camera tho, something that in many ways makes it stand out from the other 3, tho not nessicarily in a bad way. It uses a 1.3x crop, 10.4 megapixel, CCD sensor with no AntiAliasing (AA) filter and incredibly thin InfraRed (IR) filter. As a result, the images are very sharp and at least as detailed as any of my 35mm film scans, but can exhibit shifted colours due to the IR sensitivity. This of course, can be a positive, as it allows out-of-the-box IR Photography with a simple filter, but many choose to use IR-Cut filters on the front of the lenses. If you're shooting B&W, as i mostly do with my M8, it's never an issue and gives outstanding monotone images. The 1.3x crop means that all your lenses move by one stop/lens angle. For example, your 15mm becomes a 21mm, your 21mm becomes a 28mm, and a 35mm becomes (practically) a 50mm. This has it's own pros and cons, but with a solid selection of primes, you can generally just select one to the left. The framelines for each lens reflect this, and again, it's a similarlly cluttered (0.68x) viewfinder. The pairs this time, are 24/35, 28/90 and 50/75. Being fully electronic, it always requires a battery and has Aperture Priority as a shutter option. It also allows Auto ISO selection and an amazingly fast top shutter speed of 1/8000 - amazingly good when used with an F1 lens in bright daylight, as no ND filters are needed. It is the loudest shutter of the 4, but also the fastest and still quiet by SLR standards.
The Leica M9, this model from 2011, is the newest M here and the latests in my collection. Still sold by Leica as the ME, it is in many ways, a blend of the M8 and M6. Almost all the pros of both, with almost none of the cons of either. It's sensor is a full-frame, 18 megapixel CCD sensor, with no AntiAliasing (AA) filter and a new thin, but effective, InfraRed (IR) filter. As a result, the colours are outstanding, and the thing i found most surprising. The sensor has the same pixel density as the M8, but with the extra space around it's 1.3x crop sensor, filled in with another 8 megapixels. This means that you have the full width of your lenses, for better or worse, at your disposal again, like the M6 and M2. It's physically the same size as the M8, with only the top LCD missing (which i miss). The viewfinder is the same 0.68x one found in the M8, but with new frameline pairings of 35/135, 50/75 and 28/90 to reflect the full frame sensor. The shutter has changed, losing the 1/8000 speed in favour of a 1/4000 top end, but it's considerably quieter as a result. I was surprised how much quieter in fact. It's new IR filter means that IR photography is no longer possible, but it's worth it for the outstanding colours it gains instead. Unlike the other 3 Ms here, which are either chrome or black chrome plated, the M9 has a silk black paint finish, over machined brass. It's not as hard wearing, but shows glimmers of brass metal underneith where it does in a far more attractive manner than a chrome finish does. Mine has a little brassing as it was second hand, but very little.
This year, the M9 was replaced by the new CMOS based, 24 megapixel "M" (also called Type 240 or M10 by users). The M9 wasn't entirely replaced tho, it was given a new grey paintscheme, had it's frameline lever and USB port removed, and was rebranded the ME. It's otherwise, identical in use, results and appearance.
Not the cleanest shot of a Kestrel I've taken, but I liked the backdrop of Sea Lavender, makes it a bit different from the norm :-)
Australias first legal nudist beach situated in South Australia with the cleanest water and sparkling white sand.
A shot I took last week on a photo walk with my mate. This is Newcastle beach, Northern Ireland at around sunset. Not the cleanest or prettiest beach in the world but I liked the colours and wanted to silhouette people enjoying a nice walk.
Rumor has it, this Phil's has the cleanest bathroom this side of Bob's Big Boy near mile marker 310 just outside of Yuma.

My view-finder was all but obliterated, I was drenched and my car was the cleanest it had been in 2 months! Wheee!
Has to be the cleanest MK4 I've seen for a long time, This has been with its current owner since 2003 & had Bristol Street dealer plates.
My first attempt at digitally creating a lightsaber and motion blur. It's not the cleanest, but I think I did a good job on my first go. Very proud :D

This must be the cleanest Charger I have ever seen, and yes - the owner was an older man, as is to be expected, as I saw him get into it less than five minutes after I took this picture! I truly adore the Charger - I'll take it any day over a Monaro or Falcon Coupe.
Funnily enough, I received a model of a VJ Charger XL for Christmas from family, and it's near enough identical to this one! I've taken some shots of it, and they're on their way...
One of the cleanest Pandas I've seen in quite a while. Bit of sagging on the front bumper which I'm sure wouldn't take much to fix. Not sure if that was a common fault, I saw a Panda at a car show last year with the same problem.
This might be the cleanest Type 3 Notchback VW I've ever seen!

At this place you can get fresh spring water that apparently is some of the cleanest water you can find in Hokkaido.
Famous for 2 things: John Lee Hooker got his start here in 1943 when he made Detroit his home and was one of his favorite places to play, often returning to perform there. The other is it's reputation as "the cleanest bar in Detroit". Yes. The cleanest. Currently open but no longer has live bands. This was part of the Historic "Paradise Valley" section of Detroit, known for it's night life in the thirties, forties, and fifties.

204 along with 202 were chosen for the bus wash which allowed passengers to see how Lothian wash their fleet. Attention to detail as every bus gets washed, waxed and cleaned inside every single day of the week after being in service. Now i will bet not many operators can boast that.
204 is one of the 15 Alexander Dennis Enviro 400H (Hybrid) delivered in 2011

Cart Marking showcases a truly unique collection of transport dating back from the horse and cart, to the latest, cleanest, greenest, and safest in use today.
The regulation of carts dates back over 750 years to the early days of The City with the ceremony of cart Marking evolving over time.
Today we bring all that history back to life with a modern twist. You will see vehicles ranging from handcarts and horse-drawn carts and carriages to steam engines, military vehicles and motorcycles. With historic, vintage and specialist vehicles – new and old – including the latest sustainably-powered vehicles on display.
The vehicles enter Guildhall Yard through the arch to be branded as part of this unique ceremony. As each one is presented, a commentator tells visitors about its history and relevance today. Once in position the Sheriffs, Master Carman, his two Wardens and the Master Glover, dressed in traditional robes will brand each vehicle with a red-hot iron, a ritual known as Cart Marking. It takes about two hours for all the vehicles (carts) to pass though Guildhall Yard, get marked and then process through again on a celebratory drive-past.

NEW JERSEYâS BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR
January 14th, 2016
CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.
âWith 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year â up from just a single nest in the early 1980âs â the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,â said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. âThe thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.â
The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.

A few choice photos from Lake Konigsee. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric-powered passenger boats, rowing, and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. You can only reach most points along the lake by boat (or I guess hiking). The lake is the deepest in the alps and is surrounded by very steep mountains that rise up 2000 m above the lake level. About halfway from our starting point, we came to a flat peninsula at the base of the mountain where the famous onion-domed church of St Bartholoma lies. This world-famous pilgrim church was first built in 1134. In 1697 it was rebuilt with two onion domes and a red domed roof that still exist today. Near the chapel lies the old hunting lodge of the same name. The lodge, which was first erected in the 12th century with the church, has been rebuilt several times. Until 1803, it was a private residence of the Berchtesgaden Prince-provosts; after their territory had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810, the building became a favorite hunting lodge of the ruling house. It is now an Inn and restaurant where we had fresh trout caught right out of the nearby lake.

I really liked the pose and bokeh in this shot. Many people consider them a nuisance bird, since they sometimes destroy the eggs of smaller songbirds. Cowbirds often flock with grackles and various species of blackbirds. They are noisy too! So when they show up in your yard in large boisterous groups they can clean out your bird food in a hurry.
I spread my bird seed out in a 10x20 foot grassy area of the lawn for this ground feeder.. This disperses them and makes them work hard and long to find all the seed.
They are also very cute in their matting dance, when they fluff out their feathers or splishing and splashing in the birdbath! They're the cleanest bird, always in the birdbath, more so then the Starlings or Robins. These three birds are the cleanest in the neighborhood!
