The Scripps Center is a high-rise office building located at 312 Walnut Street at the corner of 3rd Street in the Central Business District of Cincinnati, Ohio. At the height of 468.01 feet (142.65 m), with 36 stories, it is the fourth tallest building in the city, and the tallest added between the building of the Carew Tower in 1931 and the opening of the Great American Tower at Queen City Square – the tallest building in Cincinnati – in 2011. It was completed in 1990, and includes 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2) of office space. The building was designed by Houston architects Hoover & Furr; Glaser & Associates was architect of record. Space Design International was also involved with the building's design.
The headquarters of the E. W. Scripps Company is located in the Scripps Center.
In connection with the 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game played in Cincinnati, the upper exterior of the Scripps Center was decorated with a gigantic hat and mustache, giving it the appearance of a 19th century Cincinnati Redlegs player. Despite public support for keeping the decorations permanently, the mustache and hat were removed after the game. Television cameras were also mounted on the building's roof to provide aerial views of the game.

The Milky Way Rises behind Delicate Arch at Arches National Park in Utah, United States. Delicate Arch has become a widely recognized symbol of the state of Utah and one of the most famous geologic features in the world. The light opening beneath the arch is 46 feet high and 32 feet wide, making it the largest free-standing arch in the park. Arches National Park is a national park of the United States in eastern Utah. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 mi north of Moab, Utah. The park contains more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the well-known Delicate Arch, which constitute the highest density of natural arches in the world. It also contains a variety of other unique geological resources and formations. The national park lies above an underground evaporite layer or salt bed, which is the main cause of the formation of the arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths in the area.

When I looked out to this residential building where was very close to me, maybe less than hundred feet away。It did really look like lego block to me, very dense。That's how it was in China。
I don't have any neutral density filters for this lens, so the darkening on the side is just through the vignette feature of Microsoft's photo editor software. At some point I will buy the right equipment to capture these shots.
No need for words: It was summer, it was hot, it was a great day in the fields round Cologne!

The final shot (probably) from my morning at Catherine Hill Bay.
My beloved but under-utilised Hoya ND400 got pulled out for this one - 30 second exposure. A touch overblown - need more practice!
I am definitely coming back here again. :)

Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau is well positioned as Canada's third busiest airport behind the likes of Toronto-Pearson and Vancouver. For Montréal, as Quebec's largest airport, the French-speaking region is best known as a major transatlantic hub and is just one of 2 airports in Canada that serves 5 continents of world.
Given Montréal and Quebec's French-speaking population, the busiest long-haul flights for the hub are to and from the Paris metropolitan area; both Air Canada and Air France operates twice daily flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau during the busy summer season, with French Bee also joining the fray with 4-weekly flights to and from Paris-Orly. In total, Montréal sees 32-weekly flights to and from the Paris metropolitan area.
Year-round, Air France operates twice daily between Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Paris-Charles de Gaulle; capacity varies depending on the year but typically their year-round AF344/345 uses their leisure-configured or high-density Boeing 777-300ERs during the summer, with Boeing 777-200ERs also frequently used year-round, whilst Boeing 787-9s operate typically in the winter.
Ironically, Air France has a summer and winter only daily flight; AF342/343 operates during the summer only with Boeing 787-9s (Boeing 777-200ERs do frequently deputise), whilst AF346/347 operates during the winter only with Boeing 777-200ERs commonly utilised alongside the high-density Boing 777-300ERs.
Air France has 3 different configurations of the Boeing 777-300ERs in their fleet; the most well-known being their 4-class 'La Première' examples which are the only aircraft in the flag-carrier's fleet to feature First Class interiors, the second layout goes to their 3-class High-J configured examples which are in the process of being retrofitted with new Safran Cirrus 5C03 Business Class seats.
Another layout as featured by Air France's Boeing 777-300ERs is their leisure-configured or high-density fleet; 12 feature this configuration and are typically used on Air France's Caribbean and Indian Ocean long-haul flights. The aircraft feature 472 seats in total, 430 seats are located in Economy, with just 28 Premium Economy and 14 Business Class seats.
Currently, Air France operates 63 Boeing 777s, which includes 18 Boeing 777-200ERs, 43 Boeing 777-300ERs and 2 Boeing 777Fs.
Golf Zulu November Foxtrot is one of 43 Boeing 777-300ERs operated by Air France, delivered new to the flag-carrier on lease from BOC on 23rd June 2009 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GE90-115B engines.

Austinmer Beach, Illawarra, NSW, Australia
After my Olympus E-M1 died (PESO entry of 27 Dec 20), I was left with my second hand E-M5 Mk II backup camera. (It had been purchased as a second camera to do a wedding with; 12-40 lens on one camera, 40-150 on the other. Two bodies, no waiting. I did something similar when I went on a helicopter flight over Sydney; one to take the ground shots, one to take the aerial shots since we could take only one camera.) Make no mistake, I like the E-M5 II. And because the Mk II was released a year and a half after the E-M1 Mk I (February 2015 vs September 2013), they shared the same TruePic VII image processor. That doesn't mean that they were feature-identical - the E-M1 was a top tier camera, an E-M5 the second tier - but they were in the same ballpark in terms of a lot of important metrics.
Still, by the end of 2022 I was feeling a bit behind the curve. Coming up to 8 years behind the curve, to be precise. New features were continually being added, which I did not have. (Especially with regard to video which I want to do more with.) The OM-1 Mk I was out by then. I liked everything about it but the price, considering that it was a want rather than a need. But then the OM-5 came out. While I did have a desire to return to the top tier, the OM-5 would still almost feel like I had done so with 8 additional years of development behind it.
One feature of the OM-5 that I could see the potential of was virtual neutral density (ND), also known as Live ND. That is, virtual filters to reduce the amount of light on the sensor without changing its colour or other qualities, just like using a physical neutral density filter fitted to the front of the lens.
So why not just use regular ND filters? Because I can turn the virtual one on or off by just flipping a menu item, without needing to physically attach something to the front of the lens. I can change the level of the density in the same way.
"But can't you do that with a variable ND filter?", I hear you ask.
Kind of. But I always found variable ND filters a pain to work with on the E-M1. The electronic viewfinder would always tell you what it thought you should be seeing rather than what the camera really was seeing. (Unlike a DSLR, where what you see is what you get.) It made getting the exposure that you were aiming for tedious at best. The OM-5's virtual ND, though, will show you an approximation of what you're getting. The only real downside is that you're limited to ND16 (4 stops of light) on the O-M5 versus ND64 (6 stops) on the OM-1.
I've used it once or twice before this, but given that I live a shortish drive from the sea and its many beaches, there are a lot of opportunities to use the ND for water flow in particular.
On this occasion I was standing on the headland above Austinmer Beach with the 40-150 up front, looking down on the waves breaking over some rocks at the edge of the beach. I'd be lying if I said that the waves were particularly powerful, which probably worked to my advantage if I'm being honest. Sunrise was 10 minutes earlier, but the golden light was of course obscured by the cloudbank that seems to be magnetically attached to the horizon. This was one of the shots where I waited for the sun to rise above those clouds so that I would get at least some golden light on the rocks, but had I not told you it was there you'd be hard pressed to see it.
If you were to rank countries by population density (people per square kilometers), you might be surprised to learn that Hong Kong actually ranks number 4, after Macau, Monaco, and Singapore, and that Bangladesh is a distant 10 on the list. Nevertheless, there are a lot of people in Hong Kong all competing for a small amount of space, so the government started to build affordable multistory public housing in 1954. There are many public housing estates in HK, but this one is unique in that it is circular in design, and the only one of its kind in the territory. The resulting spiral effect is a photographer’s dream. There are over 11K residents in this estate and by my count each floor has about 8 flats. In 2016, a circular atrium of this estate was used as a location for the filming of the movie Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson.

West Runton and Beeston Regis Heath
Quite a few different tree species in there. Rowan, Beech, Silver Birch, Holly, Oak, and I think that’s either a Maple or a Horse Chestnut with the bright green leaves on the left.
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Cincinnati (/ˌsɪnsɪˈnæti/ SIN-sih-NAT-ee) is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the government seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers. The city drives the Cincinnati–Middletown–Wilmington combined statistical area, which had a population of 2,172,191 in the 2010 census making it Ohio's largest metropolitan area. With a population of 301,301, Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and 65th in the United States. Its metropolitan area is the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on increase of economic output and it is the 28th-biggest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S. Cincinnati is also within a half day's drive of sixty percent of the United States populace.
In the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was an American boomtown in the heart of the country. Throughout much of the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 U.S. cities by population, surpassed only by New Orleans and the older, established settlements of the United States eastern seaboard, as well as being the sixth-biggest city for a period spanning 1840 until 1860. As Cincinnati was the first city founded after the American Revolution, as well as the first major inland city in the country, it is regarded as the first purely "American" city.
Cincinnati developed with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than east coast cities in the same period. However, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on strong commodity exploitation, economics, and the railroads, and St. Louis, which for decades after the Civil War served as the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to three major sports teams: the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball; the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League; and FC Cincinnati, currently playing in the second division United Soccer League but moving to Major League Soccer (Division 1) in 2019. The city's largest institution of higher education, the University of Cincinnati, was founded in 1819 as a municipal college and is now ranked as one of the 50 largest in the United States. Cincinnati is home to historic architecture with many structures in the urban core having remained intact for 200 years. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as the "Paris of America", due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.

The second data release of ESA’s Gaia mission, made in April, has marked a turning point in the study of our Galactic home, the Milky Way. With an unprecedented catalogue of 3D positions and 2D motions of more than a billion stars, plus additional information on smaller subsets of stars and other celestial sources, Gaia has provided astronomers with an astonishing resource to explore the distribution and composition of the Galaxy and to investigate its past and future evolution.
The majority of stars in the Milky Way are located in the Galactic disc, which has a flattened shape characterised by a pattern of spiral arms similar to that observed in spiral galaxies beyond our own. However, it is particularly challenging to reconstruct the distribution of stars in the disc, and especially the design of the Milky Way’s arms, because of our position within the disc itself.
This is where Gaia’s measurements can make the difference.
This image shows a 3D map obtained by focusing on one particular type of object: OB stars, the hottest, brightest and most massive stars in our Galaxy. Because these stars have relatively short lives – up to a few tens of million years – they are mostly found close to their formation sites in the Galactic disc. As such, they can be used to trace the overall distribution of young stars, star formation sites, and the Galaxy’s spiral arms.
The map, based on 400 000 of this type of star within less than 10 000 light-years from the Sun, was created by Kevin Jardine, a software developer and amateur astronomer with an interest in mapping the Milky Way using a variety of astronomical data.
It is centred on the Sun and shows the Galactic disc as if we were looking at it face-on from a vantage point outside the Galaxy.
To deal with the massive number of stars in the Gaia catalogue, Kevin made use of so-called density isosurfaces, a technique that is routinely used in many practical applications, for example to visualise the tissue of organs of bones in CT scans of the human body. In this technique, the 3D distribution of individual points is represented in terms of one or more smooth surfaces that delimit regions with a different density of points.
Here, regions of the Galactic disc are shown with different colours depending on the density of ionising stars recorded by Gaia; these are the hottest among OB stars, shining with ultraviolet radiation that knocks electrons off hydrogen atoms to give them their ionized state.
The regions with the highest density of these stars are displayed in pink/purple shades, regions with intermediate density in violet/light blue, and low-density regions in dark blue. Additional information from other astronomical surveys was also used to map concentrations of interstellar dust, shown in green, while known clouds of ionised gas are depicted as red spheres.
The appearance of ‘spokes’ is a combination of dust clouds blocking the view to stars behind them and a stretching effect of the distribution of stars along the line of sight.
An interactive version of this map is also available as part of Gaia Sky, a real-time, 3D astronomy visualisation software that was developed in the framework of the Gaia mission at the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, University of Heidelberg, Germany.
