Can you find ten differences between the two images? This was one of my favorite childhood activities. You'll have to go big.
I spotted this woman and thought I'd take a shot and put something on the backside of her sign. Not sure what was on the front, but I believe she was seeking donations.
These Gritstone rock formations are towards the western edge of the Kinder Plateau in the Peak District National Park. Weathered and eroded by the elements over millennia they provide a fascinating moonscape with endless photo opportunities.
2022 has been a smorgasbord of ups & downs with the highest highs and lowest lows for all the right reasons.
January:
I received a mini talking Oshawott plush that came all the way from the United States still in mint condition after 10 years!
Then I built the LEGO 10290 Pickup Truck (which I could've done it months earlier so my grandfather would have an interesting reaction but it's too late now).
I drove all the way to Milang so I could take a closer look at a coveted Lightburn Trailer! I even gave the seller some spares.
Dad & I went saw The Addams Family 2 at Mainline Drive-In which closed its gates for the last time.
I finally upgraded to a better phone; a Samsung Galaxy A25 which performs way better than my older one.
February:
I got started on my Lightburn Trailer project by buying a vintage Campbell tail lamp still in mint condition with its original box!
The Radio Rentals building on Main North Road in Prospect was demolished.
Oreo released a special edition design themed to 'The Batman'. At Grill'd, I also tried their special 'Bruce Wayne Burger'.
Bought LEGO's blue edition of the Fiat 500 just to take advantage of its differences.
March:
At the Garden of Unearthly Delights which turned 20, me and a buddy named Vincent saw Unusualism starring Raymond Crowe.
At Gluttony, dad & I saw Just Floyd which was a fantastic Pink Floyd cover band.
I made my first Pikachu Waffle with the waffle iron I bought from Zing.
Bought LEGO's 10298 Vespa 125 scooter and it only took a couple of hours to build!
The house where my grandmother lived for more than 20 years in Greenock was put up for sale as she moved to a retirement estate in Nuriootpa.
I had a wonderful time at WOMADelaid's 30th Year though I had to leave early at 9pm as I had work the next day.
Dad & I saw Midnight Oil at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. This was (I think) the first time I saw a show there in 20 years!
April:
Bought some goodies from the Comic & Toy Fair at the St Clair Rec Centre in Woodville.
May:
I had lunch with Vincent at the Gilbert Valley Hotel in Saddleworth which had decor stuck in the 1970s!
Coles at the Central Market closed its doors after operating for more than 50 years.
Classic buses came for a visit at the St Kilda Tramway Museum and I had a few rides on bus 1540!
The ANZ branch at Ridgehaven moved to Modbury after operating for many years.
June:
Went to the Mega Toy Fair at Wayville and bought a few nostalgic things including LEGO's Highway Rig from 1986, a vintage Corgi ice cream van still in top condition and a bag of Dazzeland cups!
Saw Top Gun: Maverick with my dad at Hoyts for the first time in LUX!
The state's dine-in Pizza Hut in Marion closed its doors forever after more than 40 years.
Dad & I went to the Gov in Bowden and saw Steve Hackett: Genesis Revisited (which was worth a two-year wait after they postponed touring due to COVID!)
The TREG trailer factory ceased operations due to poor sales. But I've managed to grab a few maker plaques and have them coated.
July:
Went to Brixpo at the St Clair Rec Centre which was bigger and better than before and bought that coveted FJ Holden Ute which was a 2014 Brickvention exclusive!
Also had a wonderful night at Illuminate Adelaide.
Had a bounce at the state's only Flip-Out in Smithfield which closed its doors after nearly five years.
Saw Gorillaz and later; Synthony at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Both were absolutely awesome!
August:
The ford on Mulkarra Street in Ridgehaven has been upgraded to a low-level bridge which should mean flooding will be very less likely during wet weather.
The road & cycle safety centre in Ridgehaven underwent an upgrade including replacement of all the signs and new paths.
Bought a few things at the Fisherman's Wharf Markets in Port Adelaide which (yet again!) closed its doors for the last time!
Went to the Gawler Show for the first time in a few years.
Then I saw KISS at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre with Vincent. I was so delighted to fill that space in my lifetime.
September:
On my 32nd Birthday, I got the new LEGO Ferrari Daytona SP3 and the Chevrolet Camaro!
I had a wonderful time at the Royal Adelaide Show and I was so glad it returned after a two-year absence due to COVID, only to be overshadowed by
the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96! Several days earlier, I knew she wasn't going to last any longer. It was truly the end of a very ambitious era!
Still, she was BORDERLINE LUCKY to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.
Went to the Scott Creek Cemetery where Harold Anderton Lightburn's grave is just a few days after the 20th Anniversary of his death.
October:
For the first time in only six years, I've been in a wave pool at Mildura Waves! And I even managed to take footage with my GoPro!
We were originally going to travel to Wodonga to visit Uncle Tony & Aunt Heather. But however, the most-unexpected happened as Victoria and other parts of eastern Australia
suffered major flooding, forcing us to change plans and instead, we went all the way to Wallaroo and then Port Lincoln.
November:
I've taken footage of Hamilton's 'Sizzler' ride being setup for the first time in my life!
Purchased both Pokemon Scarlet/Violet from EB Games.
My mother turned 70 and I gave her a tin of Lindt Lindor balls!
December:
Finally bought my first Knight Rider merch; Playmobil's Light & Sound K.I.T.T. from ToyWorld.
I tried to attend the Civic Park Carols but it was too wet!
Saw Avatar: The Way Of Water in 3D on XtremeScreen!
Got great xmas gifts including LEGO's Atari 2600 model, a Pikachu-style Grilled Sandwich Maker and... A POWERED BICYCLE!
Now I can ride to and from work without wasting petrol!
Other notable achievements:
The former 'FLAG' semi-trailer (seen in Knight Rider) was found lurking in Arizona after 36 Years by the Knight Rider Historians! So both semi and trailer will be worked on which will take a few years!
After 25 Years, Ash Ketchum has become the GRAND CHAMPION! However, it's now officially the end of an ambitious era as Ash Ketchum's epic journey came to an epic conclusion!
Though I may still vow to stick to Pokemon to the very end!
We will remember:
Queen Elizabeth II
Jason David Frank (a.k.a. the original Green Ranger)

Another Muskovy duck from the flock we encountered on Friday. Each individual was unique, yet they all traveled together. People can learn so much from animals.
What a difference a week makes (from the excitement of the 2 37s on this the week previous), grubby 66567 nears it's destination after a circuitous route and nearly 9 hours with 6V33 06.13 from Parkeston to Westbury with a consist of 20 loaded MRAs - 27/04/20
In this view of the center of the magnificent barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512, Hubble's broad spectral vision reveals the galaxy at wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared. The colors (which indicate differences in light intensity) map where newly born star clusters exist in both "dusty" and "clean" regions of the galaxy.
The galaxy's core is unique for its stunning 2,400 light-year-wide circle of infant star clusters, called a circumnuclear starburst ring. Starbursts are episodes of vigorous formation of new stars and are found in a variety of galaxy environments.

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.

The Emperor's Private Shuttle, 5347 parts.
The only external differences on His Imperial Majesty's personal ship were the simple grey stripe that runs down the middle of the cockpit and the lack of any colouring on the wings and dorsal fin.
Inside it, however, is a bit of a mystery. The only scrap of info I could find, described there being "2 rows of plush purple seating"... now I doubt very much that the Emperor of the whole Galaxy ever sat in such 'bus style' seats, so I gave him his own private office at the rear and left the purple seating for his evil-looking advisors/courtiers who we saw disembarking from the Emperor's shuttle on the 2nd Death Star.

This was a difficult subject to shoot. The difference between the lights and shadows was such that I was afraid that I would lose detail in both extremes, which was most of the picture. So, I decided to add one stop of light when I took the picture, and subtracted 2 during development. To further support the shadow detail, I used PMK Pyro as a developer. I think that this is the closest I've ever gotten to infrared without actually shooting infrared.
Note 12/14/19: This one needed a makeover in the worst way. The original left a lot to be desired when I looked at it on my Mac with a Retina display. I re-scanned the negative, and played with the levels until I liked the results. The ortho film makes it look almost infrared, but not quite. It's a difficult negative to print, but I think I made it a little better.
Camera: Super Speed Graphic 4x5.
Lens: 135mm Wollensak Optar.
Film: Ilford Ortho Plus developed in PMK Pyro.

Another personality difference we've noticed in our younger one is that she isn't afraid of trying hard things, like she's out to prove something :) She has done these puzzles a handful of times, making easy items with a subset of the blocks. This morning she decided to do the hardest one using all the blocks and completed totally on her own (with a little frustration along the way!) So interesting to see how she approaches problem solving so differently from her big sister.
Difference in size between a Nikon D300 and a Nikon D40 both with 18-55mm lenses. D300 has a grip for added enormity.
Spot the difference! Nineteenth century volumes on the left; 21st century marbling on the right.
Paper marbling is a method of design which produces patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are created by floating colour on water which is then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.
People have used marbled materials as a form of decoration for hundreds of years. Many volumes dating back to the early 1800s at Sheffield Archives have got marbled covers - the examples pictured are estate account books dating back to 1805.
On the right is an example of paper marbling created by one of the children attending a recent family event run by the Conservation Unit at Sheffield Archives.
I never can remember the difference between alocasia and colocasia.....it's one or the other. What I've observed in the winter, the tops collapse into a mushy pile of glop which covers the tuberous heart of the plant, protecting it from the cold. Like the Phoenix, it rises from its ashes.

Mill Springs Falls
Mill Springs Battlefield NHL
Mill Springs, KY
This was my second time photographing this waterfall, but my first DHR shot of it. I've only attempted a handful of HDR shots and I haven't been to flattered with the results. I liked this one, though.The water flow was much lighter this time, a lot of the vegetation was gone for the winter, and it wasn't as muddy which meant I could get in for a closer look.
