Fever Tree (Vachellia xanthophloea)
Colonists moving higher up in the past into South Africa contracted fever when these trees were in sight, so they called them Fever Trees, not knowing it was caused by mosquitos....

Of course a red barn will stand out in late autumn when most of the colours are quite muted. This is a pretty modern farming operation with many silos and often the harvesting is contracted to custom operators. Quite often the corn crops are not harvested until the fields are frozen to allow better access to the fields!
Oh, and the actual shutter speed was 1/800, with a +2/3 bias:)

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 7th 2018 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #80. This is my 103rd photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 17.950 Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****

Driving and walking rovers competed to survey a shadowy analogue of the south polar lunar surface for useable resources during the inaugural ESA-ESRIC Space Resources Challenge. Some 13 teams from across Europe and Canada took part in last month’s field test, with the winners due to be announced shortly.
The Space Resources Challenge – supported by ESA and the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) in Luxembourg – is asking European (and Canadian) researchers and institutions to develop and demonstrate a system of one or more vehicles capable of prospecting resources on the Moon in the near future.
Massimo Sabbatini, overseeing the contest for ESA, comments: “ESA is analysing the results of the first field test of the Challenge and the competition is fierce. There was a wide range of participants and technological solutions to the problem of prospecting: notably different locomotion techniques – legged, wheeled, tracked, and so on – and approaches, such as single versus multiple vehicles and aerial vehicles. The jury is out!”
The emphasis of the contest is on prospecting: pinpointing promising resources within a difficult lunar environment then characterising them in as much detail as possible, such as through visual inspection or spectral analysis.
The lunar poles are a focus of interest for future exploration. They do not experience the crippling temperature extremes of the Moon’s two-week days and nights, and frozen water and other deposits are believed to be buried within permanently shadowed polar craters.
The Space Resources Challenge teams gathered at Valkenberg in the Netherlands had to contend with challenging illumination conditions and potential loss of signal events to locate resources, including mapping a small impact crater in the vicinity of the rover’s lander – all within a two and a half hour time limit.
The five winners will be awarded €375 000 in ESA contracts, with a larger prize pool on offer after a follow-on field test hosted by ESRIC next year.

New contract - London Sovereign ADE40429 (YX12GHK) on route 142 at Brent Cross on 06/01/2018
After 32 years of being run from Garston garage, route 142 was awarded to London Sovereign from Edgware garage.
ADE40429 represents the new order, approaching Brent Cross bus station having gained a refurbishment. As with most of these refurbishments, they mistakenly have London United logos instead of London Sovereign ones.

OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.
Please type "L" for a much better view.

Batman would feel right at home there. The Kanne cave complex in Belgium is an ingenious maze of corridors between 2 mountains and is unique in the world. Millions years ago, the famous Mosasaurus lived here in this area. A Dinosaur that you would not like to encounter in a dark corner of the Sea during a nightmare, but this aside. Part of this cave system has half collapsed and it is strictly forbidden to stay in that part without a special guide person. It is really dangerous there.That hasn't stopped a number of mountain runners from turning it into an illegal cafe and there are also the horror stories of people who have grabbed bats in the hand and contracted rabies. Dangerous drugs that cause psychosis were also found there. You can easily get lost in the dark while the bats sometimes fly over you and the caves have the scariest crawling insects in the holes. Well, a bad trip is quite conceivable. Some young people who stayed there illegally have even conjured up ghosts and ran there for hours in sheer panic. Yes, the caves appeal to everyone's imagination. Nowadays you can get married there, drink a beer, drink mushroom soup and eat rice cake. Kanne Cave complex is also a popular filming location for film makers. For example, The Dance of the Pharaoh was shot there once and another movie Day of the Blood Moon was recorded not long ago. Well You will think what a bizarre cave complex it is. Well, it can get even crazier. For a TV program and calender 6 Dutch women were undressed at the cave for a bodypaint photoshoot. The then naked women were part of a action group against animal testing. All in all I can say that it is a very special cave side with a lot of history that is definitely worth visiting with a guide in the summer months

Batman zou zich er echt prima thuis voelen. De grotten van Kanne in België zijn ingenieuze gangenstelsels tussen 2 bergen. Echt uniek in de wereld. Hier werd decennia lang mergel gewonnen. Miljoenen jaren daar weer voor leefde hier zelfs de bekende Mosasaurus. Een Dinosaurus die je niet graag in een donker hoekje van de zee zou tegen willen komen tijdens een nachtmerrie, maar dit terzijde. Een deel van dit grottenstelsel is gedeeltelijk ingestort en het is ten strengste verboden om in dat gedeelte zonder begeleiding te vertoeven. Dat heeft een aantal berglopers er niet van weerhouden om juist daar een illegaal café in te maken. Er is ook wel eens brand gestoken door jongeren en er zijn de griezelverhalen van mensen die vleermuizen in de hand hebben gepakt en hondsdolheid hebben gekregen. Bij de ontmaskering van het café is er zelfs drugs aangetroffen die psychoses veroorzaken. Je kan er makkelijk verdwalen in het donker terwijl de vleermuizen er over je heen vliegen en er in de spelonken de engste kruipende insecten zitten. Tja een bad trip is dan best goed denkbaar. Jongeren die daar illegaal verbleven, gingen zelfs geesten opgeroepen en in pure paniek hebben ze er verdwaald urenlang rondgelopen. Ja, deze grotten spreken tot ieders verbeelding. Tegenwoordig kun je er trouwen, een biertje drinken, een rijstevlaai eten en champignonsoep drinken. Het grottencomplex is ook een populaire filmlocatie voor filmmakers. Zo is daar ooit The Dance of the Pharaoh opgenomen en is niet lang geleden een andere film opgenomen, Day of the Blood Moon. Tja, je zult denken wat een bizarre grot is dat. Nou, het kan nog gekker. Voor een tv-programma gingen 6 Nederlandse vrouwen uit de kleren in de grotten voor een bodypaint playmate kalender fotoshoot. De naakte vrouwen daar maakten deel uit van een actiegroep tegen dierproeven. Al met al kan zeker wel geconcludeerd worden dat het een heel bijzonder grottenstelsel is met veel historie die in de zomermaanden zeker de moeite waard is om met een gids te bezoeken.

The Great East Window at St Mary Redcliffe.
St Mary Redcliffe lost the majority of its medieval stained glass during the damage done by Parliamentary forces in the 17th century. In 1842, the committee responsible for the restoration of the church were mostly concerned with the condition of the stonework which was estimated to cost some £40,000 to repair, but were determined to have the large east window, which at the time was bricked up, filled with glass. In 1847, the committee awarded the contract for its design and implementation to William Wailes of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, one of the most prolific stained glass designers of the 19th century, who estimated the cost at £330. This window was replaced in 1904 by a design by Clayton & Bell; Wailes' window being destroyed.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin, widely known as St Mary Redcliffe, is the main Church of England parish church for the Redcliffe district of Bristol. The first reference to a church on the site appears in 1158, with the present building dating from 1185 to 1872. The church is considered one of the country’s finest and largest parish churches as well as an outstanding example of English Gothic architecture. The church is so large it is sometimes mistaken for Bristol Cathedral by tourists. It is, unsurprisingly of Grade I listed status.
The church is notable for its many large stained glass windows, decorative stone vaults, flying buttresses, rare hexagonal porch and massive Gothic spire. With a height of 84 metres to the top of the weathervane, St Mary Redcliffe is the second-tallest structure in Bristol and the sixth-tallest parish church in the country. The church spire is a major Bristol landmark, visible from across the city and until the completion of Castle Park View in 2020, was the tallest structure ever to have been erected in Bristol.
St Mary Redcliffe has received widespread critical acclaim from various architects, historians, poets, writers and monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I, on a visit to the church in 1574, described St Mary Redcliffe as “The fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England”; Simon Jenkins gives St Mary Redcliffe the maximum five-star rating in his book ‘England’s Thousand Best Churches’, one of only eighteen to receive such a rating, describing it as a “masterpiece of English Gothic”; and Nikolaus Pevsner says that “St Mary Redcliffe need not fear comparison with any other English parish church”.

So on a whim I watched Judas Contract, the newest movie from DC's animation studios, and as someone who's never read the story it's based on, and isn't actually a Titans fan, I honestly thought it was pretty good. Bizarrely enough it may be one of DC's best animated movies to come out after the Flashpoint movie.
Anyways, here's some figs.
Brother Blood: I didn't originally intend on making him but he had an interesting presence in the movie (at least until he turned into generic supervillain number six-million) so I ran with it. Elrond head, Indiana Jones torso, two capes, Glam Rock Bats legs.
Slade is an Onlinesailin in Ninjago armor.
Terra: Harry Potter head, CMF Amazon warrior torso.
Beast Boy: Put together this outfit after I used all the black and purple Beast Boy parts to make better figs. Clone armor, CMF robot legs.
Nightwing: Now with LBM Bruce Wayne hair.
Starfire is official, and Raven I posted long ago.
I didn't include Blue Beetle cause I killed his fig almost as soon as I got it (and also he had no bearing on the film whatsoever) or Damien cause it'd just be the official fig.
Let me know what you thought of the movie!
Cheers!

May 1996.
In early 2022 there is a similar long-term closure on the Bank Branch of the Northern Line - but on this occasion the replacement bus is numbered 733. In 1996 London Central were operating it.
T1000 was one of a handful of T's fitted with dot-matrix blinds (intended for the night bus standby contract). It seems to have got some jumbled up wording!
