This has to be one of the best looking Boeing 737 special schemes so far unveiled by Seattle based carrier Alaska Airlines recently. Named "UNCF Our Commitment" is seen here landing from Sacramento in some fantastic light with Mt Rainer.
Was very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph this amazing looking scheme this weekend. On this side it features a quote from the great Martin Luther King Jr, "The Time is Always Right to do What is Right." On the first officer side it features a quote from Nelson Mandela.

I had a previous commitment Thursday evening and had to be back in the city by early evening. My wife and son stayed another night in Hillsborough, so I took advantage of having a few free hours along with the budding autumn leaves. I didn’t time it quite right, as I arrived in Moncton the same time as 407 did across the river. Plan B was 406 who took a fair amount of time to get going. I knew I’d be cutting it very close for time, but I was dedicated at this point, and headed further west scouting colour. River Glade looked sharp, and in hindsight, was likely the best I’d come across, however I thought Petty might be brighter. While the leaves weren’t terrible, I knew I’d tie the train if I dare ventured back to River Glade, so I stayed put. With the growing rumour that a bunch of the 56/5700’s are going to be rebuilt as SD70ACu’s, it makes it all the more important to shoot the 70i/75i’s before they receive their makeover.
Time and family commitments stopping me getting out so I'm playing with Silver Efex Pro.

In the late 1950s, Wolverhampton Council proposed a controversial and costly project to build a ring road around the town, to divert ‘through traffic’ away from the town centre. As with most towns in Britain, the huge increase in private car ownership was becoming a headache for the town’s planners.
As part of the town’s future road planning, it was decided that the building of the ‘Ring Road’ would also force the abandonment of the town’s trolleybus system, as the council wanted ‘no trolleybuses or trolleybus infrastructure’ to encounter the new Ring Road! This commitment would become a huge finical burden on the local rate-payers, so budgetary restraints were made where possible. Construction of the Ring Road began in 1961, but took almost three decades to complete.
Between June 1963 and March 1967, Wolverhampton Corporation Transport purchased 146 new double-deck motorbuses to replace the post-war trolleybus fleet. The financial enormity of funding the conversion program impacted on the quality of the new motorbus purchases, with savings having to be made. From 1965 – 1967, the Transport Department’s budget constraints forced them to opt for cheaper bus bodies to be fitted to the locally built Guy Arab V motorbus chassis that the council were duty-bound to purchase. Strachan (Coachbuilders) Ltd of Hamble, Hampshire became the new bus body supplier, but these budget built bus bodies for the Guy Arabs would soon prove to be sub-standard, resulting in short service lives due to structural fatigue.
On the demise of the town's last trolleybuses in March 1967, came the news that twelve high-capacity single-deck buses had been ordered. In July 1967, the ‘Transport Department’ took delivery of six AEC Swifts (708-713) and six Daimler Roadliners (714-719), all having Strachan built dual-doored bodies. This may have been seen as an extravagant purchase in lieu of the tax payers money recently spent on the trolleybus replacement fleet?
The buses appeared very modern looking, with large windows and spacious high-roofed interiors, being very similar in design to London Transport’s Strachan bodied ‘Red Arrow’ buses that had been new to the capital in 1966. The intension from the outset was to trial the concept of ‘pay-on-entry’ buses, with passengers paying the driver on boarding the bus.
The new buses were initially put to work on the No1 Tettenhall service to gauge public reaction to 'pay-on-entry, and assessing operational issues. However, after a few weeks the experiment was ended and crew-operated double-deckers reinstated to the route. Against all expectations, the costly experiment hadn’t been a success, having been met with mixed reactions from the travelling public who were not used to paying the driver on boarding, much preferring bus conductors to take their fares. It was also found that the ‘Cummins V6’ engined Daimler ‘Roadliners’ in particular, didn’t like the intense ‘stop and start’ work on this short urban service. Therefore a decision was made to redeploy these buses to rural services, such as the lengthy No17 and No31 routes to Bridgnorth in Shropshire. In this setting, the stops were fewer and the average speeds were higher, but as a cost saving measure the buses continued to be used as ‘pay-on-entry’ vehicles.
In October 1969, 708-719, along with the rest of the former Wolverhampton Corporation bus fleet, became part of the newly formed West Midlands PTE, whereupon they were renumbered 708N - 719N.
The first victim to early withdrawal was Roadliner 714N, which was lost to fire when working the No17 Bridgnorth service in November 1971. The following year, AEC Swifts 708, 711 were withdrawn and sold to Northampton Transport for further use.
The remaining buses continued to be allocated to Wolverhampton’s Bilston Garage, their duties staying much the same until the loss of the rural bus network in December 1973. The Midland Red taking over these services from WMPTE as part of a wider operational agreement between the two concerns.
Being relatively modern buses and suitable for one-man-operation, WMPTE continued to use the remaining Roadliners and Swifts, but with an eye to disposing of them when the opportunity arose as they did not fit the general fleet profile. Despite the Roadliners continuing to be mechanically troublesome, 716-719 received repaints into WMPTE livery in 1972 and 1973, and may have received body strengthen modifications in preparation? However, the AEC Swifts were never repainted out of their Wolverhampton colours.
Following the premature exit of 708N, 711N (pictured) and 714N, the next to go was Roadliner 715N in July 1973 suffering structural faults to its Strachan built body. It was sold for scrap in May 1974 still wearing WCT green and yellow.
The remaining AEC Swifts came out of service between 1973 to 1974, and the last Roadliners were finally withdrawn between the end of 1974 and January of 1975. Some of these buses found new owners, but all eventually ended up being scrapped with the exception of 719N. Today, 719(N) survives at the Transport Museum Wythall, restored into WCT livery.
The picture taken by the late Dave Everitt, show AEC Swift 711N pulling out onto Railway Drive, as it departs Victoria Square Bus Station for Cheslyn Hay in July 1970.
As for the previously mentioned ‘Ring Road’, that has further relevance to this picture, as part of its Eastern section runs right through the location where this picture was taken.

RCAF 188735 - McDonnell Douglas CF-188A Hornet - Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)
at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
2021 RCAF CF-18 Demonstration jet “Strong at Home”, represents the commitment to domestic operations that the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are involved with throughout Canada. The RCAF is committed to 24/7 operations in the defence of Canada and North America. Each day, aviators work hard to protect the lives of Canadians through NORAD operations, aeronautical Search and Rescue across Canada, rapid response to natural disasters, and operations to combat COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic. This season the CF-18 Demonstration Team will also recognize the strength of Canadians who have sacrificed so much and shown tremendous resiliency throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2021 paint scheme design was developed by RCAF Reservist Captain Jeff Chester and brought to life by a talented team of Aircraft Structures Technicians from the Aerospace Telecommunications and Engineering Support Squadron at 8 Wing Trenton, ON. The paint scheme for 2021 utilizes a classic hornet-grey palette representing the importance of operational excellence in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The Eagle featured on the tail of the CF-18 Demo Jet represents vigilance, agility, readiness, and speed. This speaks to NORAD operations in particular, but also the immediate response in protecting and defending Canadians through SAR or Operation LENTUS as 24/7 operations. The feathers of the eagle are represented with Maple leaves, an iconic symbol of Canada that is proudly displayed in the Canadian flag and on the Royal Canadian Air Force roundel.
In tribute to 50 years of inspiration, including their mission to uplift us all this past year, there are eight maple leaves representing eight of the nine iconic CF Snowbirds Tutor aircraft that perform during an air show. Like in the missing man formation, the ninth is missing, in solemn remembrance of all the Canadians who were lost this year, including members of CAF, the Snowbirds own Captain Jenn Casey, and our airshow family.
On the underside of the Demo jet, the single missing Snowbird can be found – represented by the signature Snowbird SPEEDBIRD in the exact dimensions that are found on the CT-114 Tutor.
The CF-18 false canopy paint remains alongside the SPEEDBIRD highlighting the operational nature of the jet and the Snowbirds pilots, technicians and support staff who spent their careers contributing to operational missions on the CF-18 and other RCAF aircraft.
The large maple leaf on the inner tail pays homage to our home and native land that the Royal Canadian Air Force has proudly served for 97 years.
Listed on the upper and lower portions of the inner tail are the 12 domestic operations that the Canadian Armed Forces currently participates in including, Search and Rescue and NORAD, then in alphabetical order, Operation BOXTOP, Operation GLOBE, Operation INSPIRATION, Operation LASER, Operation LENTUS, Operation LIMPID, Operation NANOOK, Operation NEVUS, Operation PALACI, and Operation VECTOR.
The leading edge extension (LEX) fences feature the 2021 theme hashtags in both languages: #StrongAtHome and #ProtectionduCanada.
The pilot for the 2021 CF‑18 Demonstration Team is Captain Dan Deluce.

We were watching this pair of Great Horned Owls in Fish Creek Park yesterday morning. Before seeing these owls, we had just been watching another pair of the same species ("my" owls) a few minutes away. I'm pretty sure that the female is on the left and the smaller, darker male is on the right. They think that this species mates for life.

So as this year draws to a close and my project is completed for this year, I feel nostalgic for when I first started photography but I also love how much I've improved. I hope you've also enjoyed my journey through photography, seeing my failures, and my successes. My 52 week project folder for 2014 is now filled with 52 photos that best capture this year and I couldn't be more proud.
Thank you for sticking with me through this project and more importantly this year. I will be starting my 2015 52 week project so don't fret!

This loveseat was positioned to perfectly view the sunrise coming over the Salton Sea. The sunrises over the sea can be incredibly stunning. It's an eerie feeling to be hit by intense pinks and blues bouncing off the mountains and into the water as trailers very slowly decay next to you. It kind of makes it more perfect for me. In nature's reclamation, we must have decay. It defines beauty and rebirth. All those moments happen simultaneously here.

The largest current commitment for the Alexander Dennis Enviro 500EV from a Hong Kong operator has been from the MTR Corporation, with over 30 units on order. At the time of this view of Z04 on layover at Sui Hong Railway Station, 12 have been registered and are generally to be found on routes in and around Tuen Mun. They also carry a revised livery which unsurprisingly includes green in the colour scheme.

Geneviève Bujold (1942) is a Canadian actress. She was nominated for an Academy Award in 1970 for her leading role as Anna Boleyn in the historical drama film Anne of the Thousand Days (1969). She has played roles in more than fifty films and played both English- and French-speaking characters. Her other films include The Trojan Women (1971), Earthquake (1974), Obsession (1976), Coma (1978), and Dead Ringers (1988).
Geneviève Bujold was born in 1942 in Montreal in Canada. She was the daughter of Laurette (née Cavanagh), a maid, and Joseph Firmin Bujold, a bus driver. After twelve years of strict education in a Catholic convent, she attended the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Montréal. Her acting training was classically French. She first rose to prominence in French-language cinema in the 1960s. Her Canadian feature film debut was in the psychological horro-fantasy Amanita Pestilens (René Bonnière, 1963). She appeared in several films by Canadian director and cinematographer Michel Brault, a founder of cinéma vérité. In France, she made two films: Philippe de Broca's Le Roi de cœur/King of Hearts (1966), with Alan Bates, and Louis Malle's crime film Le voleur/The Thief of Paris (1967), with Jean-Paul Belmondo. Bujold won the Prix Suzanne as the Discovery of the Year and Elle magazine called her "The Girl of the Day". Despite having established herself in France, however, she returned to Canada. In 1967, Bujold married the eleven years older director Paul Almond and they had a son, Matt Almond. Matt now also works in the film world, but mainly behind the scenes. Bujold was directed several times by her husband in such films as Isabel (1968), Act of the Heart (1970) and Journey (1972). After their divorce in 1973, she continued to play in his films, such as Final Assignment (1980) and The Dance Goes On (1992). Bujold gave birth to her second son in 1980 with her new partner Dennis Hastings.
Geneviève Bujold earned a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for the title role of Anne Boleyn in the British production Anne of the Thousand Days (Charles Jarrott, 1969), with Richard Burton. Producer Hal B. Wallis cast her after seeing her in Isabel. In 1971, she was sued by the studio for US$450,000 in damages after she withdrew her commitment to play in Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (Charles Jarrott, 1971). Instead, she played the role of Cassandra, a Greek prophet, in Michael Cacoyannis's film version of The Trojan Women (1971), opposite Katharine Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, and Irene Papas. She settled the lawsuit with Universal, agreeing to a three-picture film contract starting with the disaster film Earthquake (Mark Robson, 1974), starring with Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner. The film is notable for the use of an innovative sound effect called Sensurround, which created the sense of actually experiencing an earthquake in theatres. A year later, Philippe de Broca cast her alongside Jean-Paul Belmondo and Capucine in the comedy L'incorrigible/The Incorrigible (Philippe de Broca, 1975). In 1976 she appeared in Brian De Palma's thriller Obsession opposite Cliff Robertson and alongside Jack Lemmon in Love and Other Crimes. In 1977 she starred in the French Western Un autre homme, une autre chance/Another Man - Another Woman (Claude Lelouch, 1977) with James Caan. She played classic female title roles of stage literature in theatre productions recorded for television, such as Saint Joan in George Bernard Shaw's play of the same name for NBC in 1967, Antigone in Jean Anouilh's adaptation of the Greek tragedy on Broadway in 1974 and Cleopatra in Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra in 1976.
Geneviève Bujold attracted attention when she became one of the first women to play a leading role in an action film in the medical thriller Coma (Michael Crichton, 1978), which was a box office hit. Murder by Decree (1979) was a Canadian Sherlock Holmes adaptation starring Christopher Plummer as Holmes and James Mason as Dr. Watson. Bujold appeared alongside Clint Eastwood in the Neo-noir slasher Tightrope (1984) produced by Clint Eastwood and written and directed by Richard Tuggle. She also starred in ambitious independent films including three films by Alan Rudolph, Choose Me (1984), Trouble in Mind (1985) and The Moderns (1988). That year, Bujold also starred in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers (1988) opposite Jeremy Irons. In the mid-1990s, she left the US TV production Star Trek: Voyager after only a few days of shooting, leaving the leading role to Kate Mulgrew. In the new century, she played a supporting role alongside Ewan McGregor and Ashley Judd in Eye of the Beholder (Stephan Elliott, 2000), the US remake of the French thriller Mortelle Randonnée/Deadly Circuit (Claude Miller, 1983) with Michel Serrault and Isabelle Adjani. Another supporting role followed in the Canadian romantic drama La Turbulence des fluides/Chaos and Desire (Manon Briand, 2002) with Pascale Bussières. In 2006 she starred in the Canadian drama Délivrez-moi/Deliver Me (Denis Chouinard, 2006) alongside Céline Bonnier. More recently, Bujold played a woman battling dementia in the sleeper romantic drama Still Mine (Michael McGowan, 2012) with James Cromwell. The Washington Post called her performance "superb" and "remarkably detailed".

Hello my Friends todays painting is called (Involuntary Commitment) A Involuntary commitment is the practice of using legal means or forms as part of a mental health law to commit a person to a mental hospital, insane asylum or psychiatric ward against their will and/or over their protests, Involuntary Commitment takes place when a person is ordered to be admitted to a hospital or treatment facility in order to prevent harm to that individual or others. The purpose of involuntary commitment is to help a person receive necessary and appropriate mental health and/or substance abuse treatment. In order to be hospitalized against an individual's wishes, the person must be mentally ill or under the influence of drugs or alcohol and dangerous to self or others. A person may act very strangely. displaying abnormal behavior but not be committable. An individual is considered dangerous to self if the person exhibits the following behaviors:
is unable to exercise self-control. judgment and discretion in conducting responsibilities of daily life without care/supervision. or
is unable to satisfy need for nourishment. personal care, medical care. shelter. protection and safety and there is a "reasonable probability" of serious physical debilitation unless adequate treatment is given, or
has attempted or threatened suicide and there is "reasonable probability" of suicide unless treatment is given. or
has mutilated or attempted to mutilate self and there is "reasonable probability" that the person will seriously mutilate self again unless treatment is given,steve
“ He told me he was afraid of commitment with thirteen tattoos on his body."
photoshoot edits of Billy and Mandy in style of a magazine spread hahaha lol.
(I suck, and I went to school for this too lol)
What can I say... I am in love with this Limhwa body...
she is so curvy and healthy(?) looking compared to the supia old body...
but I still love the supia body...
I need to find some time to make her cute dresses... ugh.
The clothes I ordered from Alice's collection came,

He looks perfect in that outfit <3
ANNNNNNNNNNNND the long overdue(?) couple shot Nang been asking for. THERE YA GO!
By juggling some commitments I was able to spend late afternoon/early evening at Ham Wall. At one point I noticed this bittern venturing out of cover and was able to get a couple of shots into the sun - by using manual focus I was able to get the bird sharp, what an artist I know, despite the foreground reeds. I quite like the effect of the light and the bird still half hidden by its reedbed home - there was no-one else in the hide at the time.
Loads of Great White Egret activity, a handful of Marsh Harrier sightings and an Osprey was seen, not by me though, fishing and then being given what for by a buzzard and marsh harrier.
Large in Lightbox - even clicking on the image to go Large works as the bird is pretty sharp.
Wandering the streets in Colonia Roma we spotted Casa Universitaria del Libro (CASUL) - UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico)
CASUL:
The structure was built for Don Joaquín Baranda MacGregor and his wife Doña Dolores Luján Zuloaga.
2020 it celebrates 100 years of its construction and 34 years of its inauguration as a university house.
Construction started in 1920, when the Roma neighborhood became an area that housed families from different cultures, something that would place it as one of the most desirable neighborhoods for residents of higher social status.
Its architecture is distinguished by having styles that predominated at that time such as Art Nouveau, Art Déco and eclectic.
The house was completed in 1925 and despite the expectations it created, it was not occupied until 1929.
From 1940 to 1945 the house was occupied by the Brazilian Embassy as Mr. Baranda died in 1941 at the age of 63.
In April 1945 Dolores Luján widow of Baranda sold the residence to the Asturian Center of Mexico AC and the house was used for the social and cultural activities of the Center, transforming the rooms into rooms for dominoes, billiards, bowling alley, dance hall, banquets, auditorium and restaurant.
In 1985 the Austrian Embassy moved to Colonia Polanco.
October 22, 1986, Adolfo Graña Reguera, president of the Center; José Manuel García Rodríguez, secretary; and Jorge Carpizo, rector of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, signed a loan contract whereby the Asturian Center gave the University the use of the house for 10 years.
On December 10, 1986 , the University Book House was formally inaugurated with the assistance of Lic. Jorge Madrazo, Coordinator of Humanities and Miguel González Avelar, Secretary of Public Education.
August 2018, Casa Universitaria del Libro became part of the Coordination of Cultural Diffusion and amplified its activities, becoming a meeting place for writers, editors, painters, poets, researchers and readers, assuming the commitment to link more closely with the society in general and act as a forum for expression of the sectors of the population of the work of the Coordination of Cultural Diffusion, thus participating in the professional and comprehensive training of different sectors.
