Everything photographed and edited by me.
There are so many things that I can't understand. I love staring at them anyway: spending time on unsolvable problems is one of those little pleasures you can't really refuse, can you?

The Douglas C-47 Dakota is without doubt one of the most successful aircraft designs in history. It became one of the world's most famous military transport aircraft and saw widespread use by the Allies during World War Two and subsequently by Air Forces and civilian operators worldwide.
DAKOTA ZA947
The aircraft was adopted by Strike Command and issued to the BBMF in March 1993. In 2004, an original and authentic floor and interior was re-fitted to the Dakota, returning the cabin to the original, wartime specification. As there are now no other multi-engine tail wheel aircraft in RAF service outside the BBMF, the Dakota is an important training asset used for initial training of aircrew for the BBMF multi-engine aircraft and for renewing the currency of the Flight’s Lancaster pilots each year. In addition to this role though, the Dakota is a sought-after display aircraft in her own right and, as such, she appears regularly on the air show circuit either on her own or as part of a BBMF formation. She continues to be capable of para-dropping and is used in that role for special commemorative events.
ZA947 is now painted to represent Dakota FZ692 of No 233 Squadron, around the D-Day period in 1944. This aircraft, which was named ‘Kwicherbichen’ by her crews, was involved in Para-dropping operations on the eve of D-Day and subsequently in re-supply and casualty evacuation missions into and out of forward airfields in the combat areas.

Don't blame me just because I am bored
I'm needy, I need to taste it all
Don't doubt me just because I am quiet
I'm thinking, thinking about it all
I'm helpless about the way of me
I'm thinking, thinking about it all
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking in the space
This time, this void
I'm making my way through the muddy minutes
The pull is in my muscle
The ache is in my bones
It's hard to be alone
(Breathe, breathe)
It won't be long now
(breathe, breathe)
See through me when I put up a fight
Like you to see the things I hide
Go deeper than I won't let you know
I'm frightened but I won't let it show
I'm helpless about the way of me
I'm thinking, thinking about it all
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking in the space
This time, this void
I'm making my way through the muddy minutes
The pull is in my muscle
The ache is in my bones
It's hard to be alone
(Breathe, breathe)
It won't be long now
(breathe, breathe)
Hi guys, sorry again for disappearing but as usual i have been indisposed!
So this is my shot for the theme which i had hoped would have more impact but i stupidly only brought three bags of flour which was no where near enough, which is funny as i did this in the garden which is still showing signs of white powder through the grass!
I wanted to make a different shot than what was expected but out of all my shots i did this was the closest effect i could get. I would recommend making sure you keep your eyes free from flour as well as mine were stinging like crazy after this!!! The things we do for art........now i have to check out what i need to do for this weeks theme, laters! :)

As the description says, the Chicago skyline from the Willis Tower's famous 103rd floor SkyDeck. This shot is showing the view from the northern wall of Willis Tower (Sears Tower). From here you can see downtown to the north of the Sears Tower and the northern neighborhoods as well as some of the northwestern ones too.
Some important landmarks visible despite the hazy weather will be noted on the picture. I will leave out some landmarks just due to it cluttering up the picture, but put some in so you know some reference to certain places.
What you see directly below and in the center is the roof line (it looks like a rusty railroad track) on one of the signature "Tubes" of Willis Tower (Sears Tower). This "tube" terminates with two floors reserved for mechanical use. They terminate at the 90th floor with the 89th floor being the last floor of the tubes. This is one of three "Tubes" that terminate just below the last set of "Tubes" that terminate at the 108th floor and the official roof of the tower. These terrace like rooflines will become green soon with solar panels and wind turbines on them. They will also plant grasses and other "green" plants on some as well. This will be done in a massive effort to make the tower (the tallest in the Western Hemisphere) a "Green" building and a LEED Certified structure. That's awesome news!!!!!
Prompts: Lover, please do not fall to your knees. It’s not like I believe in everlasting love.

Now that I have my Olympus & macro lens back, My love of macros has returned. There is no comparison. Maybe it's the 4/3 crop sensor, the sharp lens & being able to get sooooo amazingly close, hand held with the in camera stabilization. I don't know exactly what it is. There is no doubt I CAN shoot macros with any camera I'm handed, but there is definitely something special about the Olympus & I have to say that the 60mm 2.8 macro ROCKS! It's hard to see here because I load only web sized versions, but when zoomed in. In on the water drop you can see details in the surrounding world! :-)
The tracks and switches are many in the Strasburg Railroad's yards. The oldest continuously operating railroad in the western hemisphere still has business a booming, and not just for scenic railroad rides. They also have revenue freight, as well as a massive restoration operation which services MANY other railroads in the US, and I wouldn't doubt for other countries as well. It's really a great place to visit, and there's always the PA Railroad Museum right across the street, which has a PILE of historic railroad equipment and engines.
I took this shot during a visit to Strasburg in 2013. I just recently decided to look back through my old shots to see if I had any hidden gems stored away.
Father let me hear your
Voice when doubts overshadow me.
Give light to my dying ember of hope.
Cast your faith and wisdom to my soul.
Let me hear you in my anguish.
Yea! Arise oh Lord
Rescue this heart of mine,
I need your hand when I walk in darkness
Let me hear your staff, when I walk.
Though I may stumble, you will lift me up.
Darkness covered the sea
But you oh Lord is my guiding light.
I will walk in faith, for I know you will be with me.
I shall fear no evil
I shall sleep in peace
I shall sing joy of hope
I shall walk in dignity
I shall soar like an eagle.
My heart will be steadfast,
Singing glory to your name
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want.
I shall fear no harm
I shall believe all things
I shall glory in faith
I shall leap and take courage.
My head is lifted up
I shall wait upon the Lord.
Yea! No stronghold will befall me.
The voice of the Lord thunders.
He will command his angels
To protect me
To guide me
To lift me up when I fall
To take charge
To be my voice when I’m speechless
To rescue me from evil
He will guard all my ways.
What can man do to me?

During the first days of corona lockdown: The closed Crown Inn at the entrance of the likewise closed Franconian open-air museum, Bad Windsheim, Franconia (Bavaria)
Yawning void: The Franconian open-air museum is usually a vibrant place, even in the mornings when groups of school classes amongst others populate the museum’s grounds. But now, both museum and its entrance area, where the ancient inn is located, are depopulated. I was in Bad Windsheim during the first days of the lockdown due to a dentist’s appointment and still had half an hour left by the time stipulated. Well, I’ve never seen this vibrant little town so devoid of people, but I guess, that's just the same in many places in the world right now. While standing in front of the inn, I felt a bit like being all alone in the whole town. As I had no other camera at hand, I took this photo with the camera of my Huawei P30 Pro smartphone.
Some background information:
The Franconian open-air museum in Bad Windsheim has a museum area of 45 hectares (450,000 m²), on which typical buildings from former times and different Middle-Franconian regions are put on display. The museum is divided in groups of houses and since its opening in 1982 still enhanced with additional buildings from time to time. These old traditional buildings would most often have gone to rack at their original locations. Hence by dismantling and reconstructing them one-to-one on the museum grounds, the district government of Middle Franconia, which operates the museum, does a good deed by delivering them to posterity.
Noteworthy with regard to the museum are also the numerous shows, in which craftsmen show their skills. In these shows, visitors can receive an impression of the way carpenters, cabinetmakers, stonemasons, glassers, coopers and blacksmiths used to work in the past. The museum also owns a hop garden and a brewery, where beer is still brewed the old way. Of course the beer can be tasted in the inns on the terrain and also be bought in the museum store.
The Crown Inn, which is now located near the entrance of the museum, used to be situated in the village of Oberampfrach in the administrative district of Ansbach before being dismantled there and reconstructed in the museum area. It was built in 1705 by the farmer Hans-Georg Krauss as a public house, which had the licence to brew its own beer. According to legend, the Crown Inn initially was a princely building with a rather opulent furnishing and a close connection to a concubine of the margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. But in fact this connection cannot be evidenced.
However after dismantling the nearby governor’s residence the Crown Inn’s ballroom also served as a courtroom for the area. It’s quite likely, that the then margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach had an own discrete room on the inn’s upper floor in which he amused during his occasional hunting trips. As the village of Oberampfrach and its Crown Inn were bordering an important long-distance trade route between France and the city of Nuremberg, this public house likewise most probably hosted many other notables back then.
The historic town of Bad Windsheim is located about 50 km (31 miles) west of the city of Nuremberg in the Bavarian district of Middle Franconia. It has more than 12,000 residents and is known for its companies bottling mineral water.
In 741, Windsheim was first mentioned in a document. At that time it was still a small settlement with a church dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours. This church was donated to the village by the Carolingian duke Karlmann on the occasion of the foundation of the bishopric of Wuerzburg. In the following centuries, the municipality increased and in 1190, a second church had to be built. In 1234, Windsheim was awarded market rights and already 14 years later, in 1248, the town was made a free imperial city that is a city under the emperor’s direct control.
In 1291, an abbey was founded in Windsheim and in 1393, the abbey was enhanced by a Latin school. In 1500, the Franconian Circle was founded, which Windsheim belonged to. The Franconian Circle was a federation of Franconian bishoprics, principalities, earldoms and free imperial cities in the centre of the Holy Roman Empire. The new title of a "Duke of Franconia" was claimed by the bishops of Wuerzburg.
Already in 1522, Windsheim’s dean began delivering the sermons according to the Lutheran doctrine and in 1525, the Reformation was implemented officially within the town walls. In the course of the Thirty Years’ War, Windsheim stayed mostly undisturbed. However, in 1632, the town had to host the likewise Protestant Swedish army twice, led by Gustav II Adolf, King of Sweden. After the war, Emperor Leopold I visited Windsheim in 1659.
In 1730, a firestorm destroyed major parts of the town but those were rebuit soon in the Baroque style. In the course of the mediatisation, Windsheim lost its rank as a free imperial city, becoming Bavarian for the first time in 1802. After a brief spell as a Prussian town beginning in 1804, it finally became Bavarian in 1810, which it still is today.
Windsheim’s brine springs were first mentioned as being fountains of health in 1752, but it took more than 150 years until a spa building was erected in 1906. In 1961, Windsheim was officially appointed spa town, being allowed to use the name affix "Bad". Since then, different spa facilities wer built and extended. Hence, the beautiful old town of Bad Windsheim has become increasingly popular with spa guests from all Germany.

I know the new all singing and dancing flickr is with us; but should you want to see it large then click
Cwm Idwal shot earlier in the year. I forget what grad i used for this shot, i suspect it was a 1.2 lee soft grad on a 70-200 lens.
Also, my pro account runs out today, i doubt whether i will renew it; whilst i enjoy the community of flickr i dont like what flickr has become as a corporate body. In future i will be paying for a smugmug account. I will still load on here but the archives will probably be lost.
WEEK 28 – Oakland Kroger, Post-Remodel (I)
Here’s a close-up shot of the gabled entrance, before we head inside. Compare to my pre-remodel close-up here, and you’ll see that, commensurate with the remodel, the Kroger logo on the outside was updated to a newer, sleeker version of the same sign, slimmer and no doubt with newer LED lighting inside. The façade behind the logo appears to have been repainted at the same time, and it’s looking even darker than before! That’s one minor difference compared to Hernando, which again, was otherwise identical – even right down to those decorative adornments on the two supporting brick columns. (Cabot, by comparison, is actually missing those adornments, sadly. Not that you should take all this Cabot talk as proof that I’ve been to Cabot, but, uh, yeah, I’ve definitely been to Cabot XD )
