Not liked by the average person but some species of blow fly can help forensic scientise pin down the time of death of a body by looking at the size of the maggots. Some species can live for several months or even a year if overwintering. Here you can see the extended mouth part called the pseudo trachea and at the end what looks a bit like a mop is a device that consist of many tubes. Through these tubes the fly will gulp its stomach contents over the food to help digest and turn the food into a liquid to be swallowed up. Which reminds me where did I put my last large slice of Victoria Sponge as I'm very hungry now !

Magnificent Frigatebird ~ (Fregata magnificens)
"In the unlikely event of a water landing, your throat pouch can be used as a flotation device".
I always wondered how much the inflated throat pouch got in the way when these birds come down for a drink.
Thanks for visiting!
“Black-headed Grosbeak parents fly south with worn feathers after breeding season. Their molting locations had been a mystery. The California scientists solved it with relatively inexpensive Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving devices.
They attached the 1-gm electronic devices to a leg of each grosbeak. The devices wake up every 2-6 weeks, record the GPS position and switch off. The GPS device, leg harness and leg bands weigh less than 2 g, or the equivalent of a long-distance runner carrying a laptop in a backpack. Each bird must be recaptured to download the data.” Topbirdingtours.com

I was rummaging through some stuff recently and came across a little demonstration circuit board that I obtained during my working career as a trade journalist. The board contained this device, which is smaller than my thumbnail, and I thought it might make a cool macro.
I don't remember a lot about it, but I think this device was intended to demonstrate the ability of the sponsoring company to construct tiny circuit connections. This would have been from the early 1990s, and must have been a device made for Sandia Labs and Aptos Corp. It was photographed at 2X magnification. You can zoom in for a closer look.
IED, improvised explosive device , are modern soldiers worst nightmare.
By the end of 2007 they have been responsible for at least 64% of Coalition deaths in Iraq.
Here is a picture of us special forces targeted by an ied during a night mission in the afghan's desert (yeah it's not in the snow). I keep exploring in the live explosions area, made with bengal fire. You stick several together, and you should get a big blow.
A big thanks to Tiny Tactical and their amazing gear to make this one possible. www.tinytactical.com
Be sure I will do some more modern military pictures !
The Zollern colliery in Dortmund is one of the most beautiful testimonies to Germany's industrial past. An icon of industrial culture made of steel and glass is the machine hall with the stained-glass Art Nouveau portal. Discover the "Palace of Labor", look behind the magnificent brick facades, climb the headframe, follow the coal path and immerse yourself in a world of hard work underground.
Wat Saket, the Golden Mount temple, illuminated in festive lighting during a temple fair in November.

A few years ago I had been at this view point to shoot the sun setting behind the temple, but the decoration here was absolutely worth a re-visit. How do you think?
.
It's a fabulous view point, with many of the beautiful temple roofs peaking out from the dark; the Temple of the Emerald Buddha visible on the far left and even the top of the red Giant Swing is visible if you look closely. Warm wind on your nose, while shooting across the historic old town from a dark parking deck of a high rise hotel, just one of the awesome things to experience in this amazing city :)
.
From a process point of view i notice some banding in the sky, particularly on the mobile App; whereas it looks fine on my laptop and large display. Anyone notice the same difference?
.
*edit: after some trials on 12-Dec i added a Gaussian blur, then noise, and darkened the sky slightly with Color Balance and Contrast; all combined produces less banding on all device screens that i have on hand, hope it looks ok on your end.
.
happy Sunday and shooting friends!

Well I live here in this city
where the debris meets the sea
The scene is fascination man
and everything's for free
Until you wind up in some bathroom
overdosed and on your knees
.
Sometimes I see myself
as a child in a rain storm,
running around trying to catch
all the drops in my mouth.

A North American residential circuit breaker. This particular style, known as ganged, is used for 240-volt circuits to ensure both hot legs trip, otherwise there would be a live 120-volt circuit from either hot leg to neutral, an unsafe condition. Industrial buildings with three-phase power use three-breaker ganged units where required for similar reasons.
While the term “circuit breaker” mainly refers to the electrical safety device in its many varieties, the name has been used in other fields to suggest a overload shutoff mechanism, such as in the world of finance and even in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I was tired of seeing squirrels climb into my Magnolia tree and stretch to get to this feeder. Now, it is hung from it's own pole, and with a $3 Slinky and a hose clamp, the entertainment will begin.

A suspicious device was across the street from Toys R Us. They blocked off one of the entrances to the Lakeland Square Mall. Lakeland Police was first on scene. LPD doesn't have a bomb squad, so they had to wait on TPD's bomb squad to arrive. After close investigation, it was determined to be a low jack device beeping because the vehicle it was taken off of, was stolen.
Music & the devices we have invented to listen to it are amazing discoveries/inventions that humankind has created. I know music makes me smile. :)
In 1877 the first phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison. The phonograph was the first method of recording and playing back sound. This was Edison's first great invention. Thanks Thomas Edison you helped millions of people smile and not just on Saturdays.
