Screw construction from power amplifiers. Exhibition of music and light. Moscow city. September 15, 2018
I went out searching for thunderstorms that were supposed to be sweeping in across the area, but instead I found this incredible little valley. Clouds hanging low in the sky, fog rolling between the trees, the moody scene so to speak, and even in summer when the haze is thick I saw the drama, the promise that stretched out in front of me. I setup, and began adjusting, moving the camera back and forth. The area to shoot was narrow, but handy. I thought about zooming past the evergreens and focusing solely on the valley, but then I thought better of it. Using them as a framing device, letting them give a sense of depth to the scene without distracting overmuch from it. Then the wait was on, between gusts of wind, and the occasional rain rolling through, eventually I began seeing a scene worthy of showing off to my viewers.

I met quite a few people up here, unlike the parkway everyone seemed to want to chat. Nice change of pace.

"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!

The HMS Queen Mary is equipped with 24 lifeboats with a total capacity of 3266 persons. That is about 130 persons per boat, seems a bit crowded but who's going to argue in a time of need.
Each boat is equipped with an l8-B.H.P. two-cylinder Diesel engine and at the time they were the largest life boats manufactured and in use. Lessons learned from the Titanic I suspect.

GR III #3: "GR" for GReen ;-) Another one from the (masked) family walk around one of Berlin's most beautiful lakes, the Krumme Lanke. Some lush green, before I'll continue with new architecture from Berlin's inner city (the "cube berlin") next week. I hope this isn't too
vivid and colourful, I know that on some monitors, and especially smartphone or tablet screens, this will probably look much brighter and very vivid, but on my monitor it's just right (yes, I know there are devices / methods for monitor / colour calibration, but... and it's also for Sliders Sunday, so...). Regarding the sliders, I HRDified this in Aurora HDR, tweaked the "Orton Clean" Glow filter in ON1 to my liking, and also tweaked the colours. As I'd mentioned in my description for my previous picture, I must have used "Highlight Weighted Metering" for all the photos I took on that walk, because the bright, sunny and cloudless sky was never blown out, and all the shadows and dark tones were way too dark, but as usual it's always easier to brighten the shadows and dark tones in post, and I was pleasantly surprised at the remarkably clean details and bright tones I was able to get out of the dark areas of the GR III's RAW files.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy :-)
Northern Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe
The northern wheatear or wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It is the most widespread member of the wheatear genus Oenanthe in Europe and Asia.
The northern wheatear is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in open stony country in Europe and Asia with footholds in northeastern Canada and Greenland as well as in northwestern Canada and Alaska. It nests in rock crevices and rabbit burrows. All birds spend most of their winter in Africa.
The northern wheatear makes one of the longest journeys of any small bird, crossing ocean, ice, and desert. It migrates from Sub-Saharan Africa in spring over a vast area of the Northern Hemisphere that includes northern and central Asia, Europe, Greenland, Alaska, and parts of Canada. In autumn all return to Africa, where their ancestors had wintered. Arguably, some of the birds that breed in north Asia could take a shorter route and winter in south Asia; however, their inherited inclination to migrate takes them back to Africa.
Birds of the large, bright Greenland race, leucorhoa, makes one of the longest transoceanic crossings of any passerine. In spring most migrate along a route (commonly used by waders and waterfowl) from Africa via continental Europe, the British Isles, and Iceland to Greenland. However, autumn sightings from ships suggest that some birds cross the North Atlantic directly from Canada and Greenland to southwest Europe, a distance of up to 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi). Birds breeding in eastern Canada are thought to fly from Baffin Island and Newfoundland via Greenland, Ireland, and Portugal to the Azores, crossing 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi) of the North Atlantic) before flying onwards to Africa. Other populations from western Canada and Alaska migrate by flying over much of Eurasia to Africa.
Miniature tracking devices have recently shown that the northern wheatear has one of the longest migratory flights known - 30,000 km (18,640 miles), from sub-Saharan Africa to their Arctic breeding grounds.

Orchhâ (Inde) - L’Inde est connu pour ses lumières fabuleuses qui donnent souvent des scènes merveilleusement colorées. Mais pour en bénéficier, il faut être très matinal ou attendre les derniers rayons de soleil pour capter ces ambiances « chaudes ». Du temps de l’argentique en dehors de ces heures extrêmes, je ne faisais plus de photos. Eventuellement, je m’autorisais quelques films en noir et blanc.
Avec l’avènement de la photo numérique, ces limites techniques - même pour le merveilleux Kodachrome 64 -, ont été repoussées. Les capteurs progressent d’année en année et gagnent en dynamique. Ce qui était impossible pour la diapositive, devient envisageable avec les appareils modernes.
La preuve par l’image. La photo ci-dessus n’aurait pas eu le même rendu avec une diapositive car l’homme était dans la lumière. La logique aurait voulu que le fond soit noir, sans le moindre détail, puisque j’ai mesuré la lumière sur l’homme. Le capteur et la mesure matricielle ont fait une remarquable analyse de la scène en restituant une masse d’informations qu’un film argentique n’aurait pu faire.
The art of striking a pose
Orchhâ (India) - India is known for its fabulous lights which often result in wonderfully colorful scenes. But to benefit from it, you have to be very early in the morning or wait for the last rays of sun to capture these "warm" atmospheres. From the time of the film outside these extreme hours, I no longer took pictures. Eventually, I allowed myself a few black and white films.
With the advent of digital photography, these technical limits encountered - even by the wonderful Kodachrome 64 - have been pushed back. The sensors are improving year by year and gaining momentum. What was impossible on the slide, becomes possible with modern devices.
The proof by the image. The photo above wouldn't have looked the same on a slide because the man was in the light. Logic would have wanted the background to be black, without the slightest detail, since I measured the light on the man. The sensor and the matrix metering made a remarkable analysis of the scene, restoring a mass of information that a silver film could not have done.

Fireworks are a class of low explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. A fireworks event (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects produced by firework devices. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common throughout the world and are the focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations.

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 !
Orion standing 'military ramrod straight' and unsupported on his rear legs surveying the scene. Not sitting, yet poised and ready to go, he does this spontaneously when his view is obstructed by tall grass/weeds/cattail stalks/etc. The position can be held for (say) 5-6 seconds, then he slowly lowers to his all fours. He will repeat as needed until he's satisfied all is OK. It's as if his hips are hinged and seems to take no effort at all. I find his behavior... Amazing !
BTW: the black device on his neck houses a small receiver and tiny speaker. When he ranges out, a touch on my transmitter produces a very quiet 'beep' at his ear. He is trained to stop on that sound and turn his attention towards me for further directions via hand signals (come, go left/right/forward/back, or stop). I need not shout his name/orders, or raise a game frightening ruckus to get his attention. As such, we communicate silently which keeps our stress levels low. Working with Orion is a ton of fun and he seems to love it, too.

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 built a bunch of medieval execution and torture devices back in November for a school project and am showcasing a few of them here. I guess you could say this build is a part one of two, with part two coming in two years or so. Yup, this is my last build for the next two years. I'll say more in my 2021 recap that I'll post soon.
This build was quite fun and the execution methods especially were exciting to design. I'm particularly proud of my stock design and the chopping block.
This is also my entry to the Rogues & Outlaws category of Brickscalibur.
Let me know what you think and have a nice day!

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.
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.
