Close-up candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I just loved the look of this old smoker with his 'Australia' cap. Enjoy full screen detail by pressing 'L' and I hope that you all have a great weekend ahead!
Dopo aver vissuto una emozionante esperienza di realtà virtuale di allunaggio, ieri, alla Notte dei Ricercatori a Padova, stamattina ho deciso di pubblicare una foto della recente eclissi parziale di Luna...
foto che ho scattato dal tetto di un hotel lungo il Sea Point di Città del Capo, lo scorso luglio.
Stupendo vedere l'ombra rotondeggiante della Terra abbracciare la nostra bella cara Luna.

The beauty of travelling without to much of a schedule is that you can just sort of go exploring. We found a road on New Zealand's east cape that leads to the cape's lighthouse. On the way there, we drove next to this beautiful beach. A lot of wood gets washed up on New Zealand's shores and beaches and it is one of the windiest country. This combined and the bad weather made this shot possible.

Couldn't resist uploading this little seahorse portrait, it decided to model itself so well and land right on the closest focal length for my Tamron which was luck so only cropped the sides of the image off for square format-taken at Kelly Tarltons Underwater World in Auckland
Big Thanks to Sigi_K and L.K for their testimonials-if you haven't seen their streams please check them out both diferrent and incredibly artistic.
Missed a few days on flickr so will be catching up today.
Cheers all and have a great weekend.

Daylesford heritage railways restored EMC diesel electric railmotor (DERM) 63RM is seen approaching the hamlet of Musk on its first journey of the day.
For many years in the late nineteenth century, Brighton was Melbourne's favourite seaside destination. Brighton is located in the City of Bayside, which has 17 km of foreshore to Port Phillip Bay. Nestled on Dendy Street Beach, the Brighton bathing boxes are a popular Bayside icon and cultural asset.
The 82 Brighton bathing boxes are unique because of their uniform scale and proportion, building materials, sentry order alignment and a Planning Scheme Heritage Overlay on a beach owned by Bayside City Council.
They remain as they did over one hundred years ago, as licensed bathing boxes. No service amenities such as electricity or water are connected.
By way of a change from trains ........ spotted at an underpass in genteel Adelaide.
I couldn't resist a sneaky selfie - Man At Work you might say!

The Williamstown wharf view early morning before the festival started. You can see the city skyline behind the masts
A South African Weaver bird entering the completed nest after many hours of hard, intricate weaving.
This twilight shot shows the Brisbane River and one of its beaches. The river is saline at this point and is minutes away from the central business district, so it's a city beach!
You can also see an almost complete pedestrian and cycle boardwalk from New Farm, an inner city suburb to the central business district. This bridge replaces a previous floating boardwalk which literally floated away in the 2011 floods, taking with it a ferry terminal, which has also since been replaced.
An array of architectural styles can also be seen here in the residential development alongside the river. One further interesting point relates to the dark red brick wall that one can see at the bottom of the third contemporary high-rise residential development from the left. It is all that remains of an historic residential building once on this site.
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate your comments.

Southbank is an inner urban neighbourhood of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1 km south of the Melbourne central business district. Its local government area are the cities of Melbourne and Port Phillip.
The area was formerly an industrial area and part of South Melbourne. It was transformed into a densely populated district of high rise apartment and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s, as part of an urban renewal program. With the exceptions of the cultural precinct along St Kilda Road, few buildings built before this time were spared by redevelopment.
Southbank has 2 kilometres of absolute Yarra River frontage which is lined by wide pedestrian promenades offering scenic views of the river and city skyline.
Exploring Bryce Canyon at Inspiration Point with our good friends from Australia. This was Leonie’s (pictured here) first time in the US and first time at Bryce Canyon. We were at Zion the day before and hoping for snow but no luck. Then we drove up to Bryce for the day and we were treated to an amazing snow covered Bryce Canyon. Here Leonie is fighting the wind and snow headed back towards the car.
Far from Sam's secret location I found an image from Stuttgart's tram museum, where you can take a view under a tram.

The Sibelius Monument. One of Helsinki's landmarks, the monument to honour national composer Jean Sibelius
(1865-1957) The main part of the Sibelius Monument consists of approx. 600 acid-proof stainless steel tubes of various diameters, welded together individually and hand-textured by Eila Hiltunen. While several specialists were consulted on metallurgy, structural calculations and welding methods, the physical accomplishment of this structure, which measures 10.5 (length) by 6.5 (depth) by 8.5 (height) metres and weighs 30 tons, is the work of two people, Eila Hiltunen and assistant-metalworker Emil Kukkonen.
