Sembawang Wharves, Yishun, Singapore. Another great place found by my flickr friend Rajesh (rags1969). We somehow managed to get into that place without being checked at the security gates (two of them)! Anyway, there's probably no way to steal those cars (but perhaps getting some spare parts???). This is the place where all those brand new cars are stored before being sent to the car dealers.

My first 2025 photo...something different. Trees reflected in the rippled surface of a lake and turned through 90 degrees for a 'different perspective'.

This different little duck seemed happy to mingle with the mallards...wishing everyone a happy weekend :-)) x
I've shot this shot before but with bad conditions. Its alway a little colder on this side of the Golden Gate. I found this spot just a couple of minutes from the Vista Point. Just an awesome view of the houses nestled up into the mountain side.

Struggled with the naming of this. So with the new Star wars trailer out yesterday, i thought I'd do some different designs for the First Order. Then I thought, why not do them following on from the lengthier clone wars universe I've got going on. Though tbf, that's all too far in the past to actually affect any of the sequel trilogy stuff, but we'll gloss over that. So, this First Order is made up of (L to R):
Captain Phasma - After the destruction of the Supremacy, Phasma somehow managed to survive. Thought dead by the resistance, she was able to infiltrate the criminal underworld, donning armour obtained from a sale on a small planet named Tatooine. With her disguise, she hopes to get close enough to the resistance to learn their plans, and destroy them once and for all.
Supreme leader Hux - After Snokes death, Hux was quick to rise to power. Despite the tantrums thrown by Kylo Ren, Hux was generally accepted by the first order as its new leader.
Kylo Ren - Since Snokes death, Kylo has fallen even further into the clutches of the dark side, now influenced by another, he grows more powerful by the day, feared by his allies and foes alike.
Grand Admiral Thrawn - After regrouping with the remnants of the Empire all those years before, Thrawn was finally ready to exact his master plan: Seize control of the galaxy from the new Republic. Though it had initially shown promise, it quickly became exactly like its predecessor. The constant debates, the corruption all made it unfit to control the galaxy. It was with this that Thrawn decided a temporary alliance with the First Order would be necessary to achieve his goals.
Emperor Rae Sloane - After the exodus of Imperials from the Galaxy, Rae Sloane found herself in a predicament. Abandon the Empire she loved, and survive, or reforge herself as its leader, despite the many risks that responsibility would entail. She decided on the latter, and soon became Emperor of the Imperial remnants, preparing them for their glorious return to the galaxy. After Thrawn joined her, the two set about a plan. They agreed that powerful as the First Order was, it was disorganised, run by those she considered to be children. Hell, if Hux was in charge, everything was bound to fail. And so, Thrawn and Sloane approached the First Order, offering allegiance in wiping out the remaining New Republic forces, and the Resistance, all while secretly working on their own plan to overthrow the First Order and take control of it's vast military, properly preparing the galaxy, and the chiss ascendancy, for the crisis that Thrawn claimed was getting ever closer.
The Benefactor - A mysterious benefactor appeared shortly after Snokes death, offering guidance to Kylo Ren, offering him the knowledge he needed to seek out his enemies and destroy them once and for all. But who could this mysterious benefactor be?
So that's the First Order/Imperial allegiance. Story's not great for this one as, well, I didn't really have much of one in mind. Might be interesting to come back to, but I probably won't. I do have a resistance side put together though, so keep and eye out for that. So, as always, lemme know what you think :D
A key part of the trip was having an evening at Giant's Causeway to explore without the crowds. Still it took a while before no one was climbing to the top of this section for a clear picture.

The red crossbill or common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. Crossbills have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips, which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.
Adults are often brightly coloured, with red or orange males and green or yellow females, but there is wide variation in beak size and shape, and call types, leading to different classifications of variants, some of which have been named as subspecies. The species is known as "red crossbill" in North America and "common crossbill" in Europe.

I love prime lenses, and I normally lean towards the telephoto end, so it was quite a shock to the system to use a wide angle zoom the other day in Worthing. I've had the lens for years, but rarely used it. It's probably not something I'll do very often, but it was certainly interesting to view the world in a different way.
A slightly different view of these great trees that I cannot walk passed without taking a photo of them!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!

Here is a 30-second slice of the history of Yosemite's glacier-formed and weather eroded Half Dome. As I watched the clouds streak by, I could really imagine how this place was formed over the eons. No HDR.

The clouds were moving quickly over the top of Half Dome, and the light looked good on the rock face. So I put on my dark filter to make a long exposure. Over the course of 30 seconds, the clouds moved a lot and the shadows of the clouds made for some good light across the face of the cliffs. And the moving trees and reflections softened in the reflected light from above.
This part of The Tenaya River is called Mirror Lake because is is often calm and reflective. But the wind softened the light falling on the water. The long exposure shows that soft light much better than a shorter one which would show the frozen choppy water. Sometimes a long exposure feels more realistic than a shorter one!
I do have some shots that are completely reflective when the wind calmed down. The effect is striking too.
The map shows exactly where this is. It is a 1-mile hike from the nearest road.

Shanghai -Cina- ottobre 2011
Questa zona di Shanghai è stata appena restaurata, è stato mantenuto l'aspetto delle case dei primi del '900.
Ora viene utilizzato anche come set fotografico per servizi una delle ultime mode tra i giovani cinesi.
Ho visto molte ragazze abbigliate in questo modo, accompagnate da fotografo ed assistente, farsi riprendere per realizzare un proprio book fotografico.
Subito a fianco del quartiere è sorto l'immancabile mercato. ^_^
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.
