What a difference. The Chrysler Building has the beautiful spire while the two newer buildings look like disposable electronic devices.

I took this photo near Santiago de Compostela (Spain).
As you can see in this case, I didn't change at all the composition
of the initial shot (below). I just slightly modified the contrasts. I like
how everything is inverted, even the perspective (the sheep in the
background looking bigger than the 3 ones in the foreground...)

According to Wikipedia, the Hamadryas Baboon is a species of baboon from the Old World monkey family. It is the northernmost of all the baboons, being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions provide habitats with the advantage for this species of fewer natural predators than central or southern Africa where other baboons reside. The Hamadryas Baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians and appears in various roles in ancient Egyptian religion, hence its alternative name of 'sacred baboon'. Apart from the striking size difference between the sexes (males are often twice as large as females), which is common to all baboons, this species also shows sexual dimorphism in coloration. The fur of males is silver-white (seen here) in color and they have a pronounced cape (mane and mantle) which they develop around the age of ten, while the females are capeless and brown. Their faces range in color from red to tan to a dark brown. Males may have a body measurement of up to 31 inches (80cm) and weigh 44 to 66 pounds (20–30kg); females weigh 22 to 33 pounds (10–15kg) and have a body length of 16 to 18 inches (40–45cm). The tail adds a further 16 to 24 inches (40–60cm) to the length, and ends in a small tuft. Infants are dark in coloration and lighten after about one year. Hamadryas Baboons reach sexual maturity at about 51 months for females and between 57 and 81 months for males.

Pterophyllum is a small genus of freshwater fish from the family Cichlidae known to most aquarists as angelfish. All Pterophyllum species originate from the Amazon Basin, Orinoco Basin and various rivers in the Guiana Shield in tropical South America. The three species of Pterophyllum are unusually shaped for cichlids being greatly laterally compressed, with round bodies and elongated triangular dorsal and anal fins. This body shape allows them to hide among roots and plants, often on a vertical surface. Naturally occurring angelfish are frequently striped longitudinally, colouration which provides additional camouflage. Angelfish are ambush predators and prey on small fish and macroinvertebrates. All Pterophyllum species form monogamous pairs. Eggs are generally laid on a submerged log or a flattened leaf. As is the case for other cichlids, brood care is highly developed.
In 1906, J. Pellegrin described P. altum. In 1963, P. leopoldi was described by J. P. Gosse. Undescribed species may still exist in the Amazon Basin. New species of fish are discovered with increasing frequency, and, like P. scalare and P. leopoldi, the differences may be subtle. Scientific notations describe the P. leopoldi as having 29–35 scales in a lateral row and straight predorsal contour, whereas, P. scalare is described as having 35–45 scales in a lateral row and a notched predorsal contour. P. leopoldi shows the same coloration as P. scalare, but a faint stripe shows between the eye stripe and the first complete body stripe and a third incomplete body stripe exists between the two main (complete) body stripes that extends three-fourths the length of the body. P. scalare's body does not show the stripe between the eye stripe and first complete body stripe at all, and the third stripe between the two main body stripes rarely extends downward more than a half inch, if even present. P. leopoldi fry develop three to eight body stripes, with all but one to five fading away as they mature, whereas P. scalare only has two in true wild form throughout life.
Angelfish were bred in captivity for at least 30 years prior to P. leopoldi being described.

Iandra Castle. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their dairy property in 1887. Greene established his village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers contracted to work his lands. He started with one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. George Greene wanted a medieval castle like a medieval lord. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms, castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried there. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School was for 15 to 18 year old first time offenders. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974.

Not a bad comparison I must say, you can certainly see a difference.

I have on a different hairstyle/length. I determined the one I was sporting earlier was a bit too thick and full to cope with the humidity of the day.

One of those special memories, on top of being 80 plus year old ! I grew up with the corvette, remembering the 1969 verses 1968. or even what was different ! colors, lines here and there chrome , side pipes removable roof panels1,2, piece, small block / big block ! wheel size and width, best of all the mind works and what an experience, as for resemblance differences ! standard / automatic , as even compared, the new even are easier torahs and wax, a smile in every corner, and fun to be had, even car shows ! Enjoy the view ! 55 five years ago, BTW mine first 1971, still own ! now the Nikon D810 another story !
The Victorian Iron Horse Roundup, held from August 21-29, 2021 at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, was a gathering of vintage narrow gauge locomotives from the late Victorian era (1870-1900). The featured attractions were:
No. 4 ("Eureka") 4-4-0 (Baldwin, 1875) - Eureka & Palisade
"Glenbrook" 2-6-0 (Baldwin, 1875) - Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming
No. 168, 4-6-0 (Baldwin, 1883) - Denver & Rio Grande
No. 425, 2-8-0 (Baldwin, 1895) - Denver & Rio Grande
No. 20, 4-6-0 (Schenectady, 1899) - Rio Grande Southern
A number of special excursions were made with Eureka, Glenbrook, 168, and 425 between Antonito, Colorado, and Chama, New Mexico over the former Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge main line now operated by C&TS.
Slowly but surely, I'm working on sprucing up GP55 over the summer holidays. The 3 pillars a long the offside windows were showing bare metal so I've painted them black, some panels have been polished removing most scuff marks.
The small details do make a difference in my opinion 😃.
The only differences between the VF-1 variations are the heads. The VF-1A featured a cyclops type eye and single beam cannon.

Spot the differences in these two RTLs !
Both are obviously ex London Transport Park Royal bodied Leyland Titan PD2 / 7RT vehicles sold out of London service .
1033 OLD646 was new to LT in June-1954 as RTL1537 and came to Barton Transport during December-1965 .
1107 LYR770 was new to LT in November-1951 as RTL1238 and came to Barton Transport during December-1967 .
They are both resting for the Sunday within Ilkeston Garage , Derbyshire.

The one on the left (Yellow Stainer) will make you very sick. The one on the right is tasty. They are growing less then 1 Metre apart. Eating wild mushrooms can be risky.

Having walked to Summerseat I hopped aboard a service back to Irwell Vale. I retraced my steps along the Irwell to the foot crossing just before Townsend Fold to see Austerity 2890 again - this time sporting the Dining With Distinction headboard.
I went back to my original roots last weekend on a trip to Lincoln, NE with my parents, aged 84 and 86 who grew up on farms in the rural countryside many years ago. My brother and I were born in Lincoln but moved away in 1962 when we were very young. We went back on a regular basis while my grandparents were alive, but it had been many years since my last visit.
I guess I never appreciated the beauty of the landscape there when I was younger and thought the lifestyle was backward and so 'not cool' as a teenager. This time was different and I couldn't get enough of the magnificent colors, rolling hills, and wide expanses of the prairie. I literally stopped in the middle of the road to take this shot without a car in sight as far as one could see in either direction.
A BIG THANK YOU to my dear friend Tomkitty who offered to loan me one of her fabulous wide-angle lenses that made such a difference in the results of my shots!
Thanks also to Rentedochan for sharing his fine texture-

Chicago gilt nicht umsonst als die "Architekturmetropole" der U.S.A. Nirgendwo wird die Vielfältigkeit und die Unterschiedlichkeit wohl deutlicher als zwischen diesen beiden Gebäuden am Chicago River.
Das Wrighley Building wurde in zwei Etappen errichtet. 1920 wurde der Südturm (links auf dem Foto), 1924 der Nordturm fertig gestellt. Arkaden verbinden die Gebäudeteile. Die Terrakottafassade wird abends wunderbar illuminiert.
Der Trump International Hotel & Tower wurde 2009 in einer Stahl-Glas-Fassade erbaut. Er ist das zweithöchste Gebäude Chicagos und das dritthöchste Gebäude der U.S.A.
I decided to take a picture of my Fokker T.V and the Fokker D.XXI.
You can see that the Fokker T.V Bomber on the left was actually quite small for a medium bomber of that period, especially when compared to the D.XXI Fighter.
This picture concludes my 2023 Dutch Air Force Early WW2 Display.

With the previous posts I’ve already explored the differences between different focal lengths and deconstructed the idea of 'the standard focal length'. There is no standard focal length that could be based on biology of human eye or technical reasons. Nevertheless, we have actually two 'standard focal lengths' as both focal lengths 35mm and 50mm are often mentioned when searching for a natural field of view. The double standard is interesting because there clearly exists a certain kind of tension between them: some photographers think the 35mm is the standard focal length which resembles natural field of view while others prefer the 50mm.
In fact, if one reaches out to history one will find that many famous photographers preferred either one or the other. For example, the legendary Henri Cartier-Bresson preferred the 50mm which, he said, “corresponds to a certain vision”. Then again, the great Annie Leibovitz prefers the 35mm because she finds it “more environmental”. Bill Cunningham also favored the 35mm, while Andrius Burba again prefers the 50mm. Well, you get the idea. But like I’ve already written, the truth is that there is no 'real' standard focal length and no single focal length is magic. Photographers have different favorites and as long as they’re in the right hands, both can be used for excellent pictures.
So, where does the Batis 2/40 CF fit in this situation? Well, as long there exists this tension between 35mm and 50mm focal lengths, it seems to me that 40mm presents a pretty nice compromise between them. Personally for me, it comes even more interesting as it is also a rather unpopulated focal length and therefore doesn’t carry a same kind of historical load and imagery as the 35mm and 50mm tend to do. In my mind it opens up 'a new approach' where I’m free from the visual heritage of 35mm and 50mm. Detachment from the tradition also fits perfectly for the future oriented Batis lens family. Finally, it raises interesting intellectual questions. Without history and tradition we could design any kind of lens families with any kind of gaps and rhythms. What kind of photography would this result and what would be differences compared to today’s photography? I find this an intriguing idea.
Well, of course the Batis 2/40 CF is not as revolutionary lens as I tend to make it up in my idealistic mind, and in practice the differences in focal lengths are rather small to each direction. Maybe small enough that it’s difficult to see the differences – and this probably leads to images that have some resemblance with both 35mm and 50mm lenses. Nevertheless, while some might find the 40mm focal length insufficient (because it isn’t exactly the 35mm for example), I’d rather see it as an interesting opportunity, for the reasons stated in previous paragraph. For these reasons this might well be my standard focal length as I see it having some sort of inspirating effect on me. And besides, there’s also a one very practical benefit with the 40mm lens: I don't need to swap lenses between 35mm and 50mm. Now, that’s a nice new standard for a change.
They may look like they're hanging but you'd be thoroughly mistaken. They're floating. I can sense the "but...but....but..." in your brain but stop. Think about it for a moment. Then open your mind to the possibility that they are actually floating. There is no string. Or rather there is.
There may be string but is it there to hold them up or is it there to prevent them from floating down? Yes, feel that mind bullet penetrating all you thought was right. Could the be floating downwards and the string is there to keep them from floating in the wrong direction. Yes you might call it falling but you're wrong.
Yes you may think you're right. Sitting there feeling all smug in your rightness. But you're not. This is not the place for conventional thinking. We don't welcome this idea of up is up and things only fall down. The only difference here is that the floating happens at a slightly different pace. Which things usually float slowly up in the air these head float rather rapidly downwards. If it wasn't for the ground this would not be an issue. And anyway....They all float up here.
