I've driven through this junction hundreds of times and often wondered what this shot would look like. When I saw snow on the ground I knew that would give extra contrast so I parked up and went up onto a foot bridge to tkae the shot. I could not get a full sequence of the traffic lights in one exposure so this is 4 shots stacked in photoshop.

Just the wishful thinking is not enough … but it needs just some positive actions and – who knows – the world could be at our feet …
Wishing you a perfect week-end and that all your dreams come true!!!
Well,nobody has driven this classic for a good long time,but its appeal holds up pretty well.One of the ultimate of barn finds,this 1934ish Dodge Brothers 2 door sedan sits on a forgotten farm well off the highway in northwestern Illinois.Though this picture was taken 2 years ago,the old car remains and is definitely due for a revisit.
The Dodge Brothers started out making bicycles but soon turned to making quality automotive parts.They were given a 10% stake in the Ford Motor Co. which they soon sold to start their own brand of quality cars and trucks.The brothers both died unexpectantly in 1920,and in 1928,their company was sold to Chrysler....

Barrel racing! The horse and rider race into the arena, weave a "clover-leaf" pattern around three barrels, and race back past the finish line as quickly as possible. This young girl and her horse show the intensity that competitors bring to this sport. Curving around the barrels, without touching or tipping them, is the most exciting and risky part of the race.

When you see the beach so deserted this time of year, it's hard to imagine it being overrun with people on summer weekends.
In this image, I'm trying to incorporate the patters of wind driven sand and snow into a composition.

Move back they say. Get more in the picture. You are way too close! I hear it all the time. “There’s no people in your pictures “ my former boss would say. What can you expect from a former high school yearbook photographer? Basically I’m a portrait photographer of inanimate objects. There is never a doubt about what the main subject is. When I encounter an object that seems to be photogenic, I treat it as if I were doing a portrait of the queen of England. Lighting, framing, perspective, etc. must all be considered of course. Call it “in your face photography” if you wish, but please don’t tell me to back up and include more context. This is my style and it is what it is. Perhaps I was ossified by having only an old Minolta film camera with the standard 50 mm. lens to work with for the first forty years of my photographic life. Seeing the world through a nifty fifty! I guess I am not very artistic after all. I never did look good in a beret.
I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!
P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!
For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.
For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.
'Blow off a little steam'
World's first steam powered clock
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Captured in September 2019 during an exercise I gave to my Street Photography Workshop for them to look for different angles and perspectives as we walked around. Of course I ensured that the person begging in the shot was suitably anonymised so that the image is for narrative and is not in any way exploitative.
I'm thinking of the millions of people currently displaced across Ukraine. Over 2 million displaced out of the country but countless millions more ran out of their homes to another part of the country, all while being under artillery and rocket fire. I cannot begin to imagine the depths of pain, despair and loss that they are feeling.
I'm also thinking of those displaced and homeless throughout the United Kingdom as a result of poverty driven by the cost of living crisis and Government policy over the past decade. My own energy prices have risen 129% overnight.
I'm also thinking of those displaced out of their homes, steadings and traditional nomadic routes in Ethiopia right now. Years and years of lower than average rainfall are now leading to a famine of the levels not seen since 1985. The building humanitarian disaster is expected to be worse than that thanks, in no small part, to the climate emergency.
We all need water, food and shelter - these basics that are essential for life should be a given in our modern world.
Today I am thinking of those who have been or are being displaced from their homes. I wish I could help more.

A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.
Happy Clicks

For the last decade I have driven past this barn scores of times. I have photographed it during sunrises, sunsets and during all four seasons. This week when I ventured out I was surprised to see it was in the process of getting demolished. It will not be replaced by anything that is akin to what it once was and it illustrated again to me how America is losing irreplaceable landmarks of our agricultural past.
It made me think about the landmarks in my life that are no longer present. My first awakening to the uncertainty of life was when my grandparents passed on. As a youngster I thought they would always be around. Then the parade lengthened as aunts and uncles joined the eternal crowd followed by my parents. Now after seven and a half decades the final path has been joined by my siblings. Each passing of a personal landmark has emphasized the brevity of life but especially the last one.
As I've driven to and from work down the back country lanes I've noticed just how many dandelion clocks there are right now. And I wondered how I could make something interesting out of them.
Fortunately I may have some genes of a distant genius, as well as his name, and it struck me I could make a Newton's Cradle …...you know those suspended steel balls, and you pull back one and let it swing and the thing goes clack, clack, clack, back and forth for ages. It keeps some people amused: normally bored executives.
Anyhow, here is my less irritating silent version rustled up quickly on a baking tray.
Mit einem langen ARS Altmann-Zug aus Regensburg konnte 193 552-7 "Responsibility Driven" (saving CO2 in sustainable, cross-border connections) bei Feldmoching fotografiert werden.
Near Feldmoching I was able to take this picture of TX Logistik's 193 552-7 "Responsibility Driven" (saving CO2 in sustainable, cross-border connections) hauling a long ARS Altmann train from Regensburg to Verona Q. E.
This is chassis H6/711/U, built by Aston Martin in their Experimental Shop for the 1936 TT race in Ulster and driven by racing driver Dick Seaman.
The car went on to race the Mille Miglia, the Le Mans 24 hours, Grand Prix des Frontieres Belgium and Coupe de Paris Montlhery to name but a few.

Agnew Park Miniature Railway was open today. And the Loco and stock have had a new coat of paint now all red. During the Winter months the petrol driven Loco was converted to an Electric motor.

Found this little dandelion on a walk and just thought to grab an image really quickly! I honestly didn't know dandelions were around in the winter.
Tell me what you think!!
Tip of the Usk reservoir.
Yes indeed just after the shutter click those clouds opened up good and proper, and continued to do so for almost the whole way back home - a very wet 10k on foot. Yes - yes I know Mr Magoo drives a car in the cartoons but I’m not a cartoon and haven’t driven for 30 years, and how the heck does he find his car is what I want to know??? Some sort of metal detector might do it I suppose but a lot can go wrong with that scenario, and how does he know it is his car and not one belonging to some axe wielding whacko whose cheese has slid totally off his cracker? Mind you, I might not be a cartoon but life can be cartoon like at times…..my wife and I were dining out once when some outraged stranger accused me of trying to steal his pudding, kid you not, I accidentally put my hand in his pudding, right in there, up to the wrist almost and somehow I am stealing it - seriously!?! It wasn’t my fault, I had no idea it was there, it shouldn’t have been where it was it really shouldn’t, but stealing it - honestly, can you imagine?? Ooh ooh look, that gooey thing all covered in custard looks delicious, I think I’ll just grab me a handful and hope he doesn’t notice!! An accident and accused of thievery. What could I do - I lamely held up my white stick and pointed at it with a custard covered finger. The cheek of the fellow - I should have sued him for burns!So there you have it, there’s a reason why I don’t drive and have to get wet - and if I want a pudding I’ll buy my own……..
…..probably.

Der letzte interessante Zug für diesen Tag war der DGS 43155 von Köln Eifeltor nach Verona Q.E., welcher ab München Laim von einem Vectron Doppel übernommen wurde, 193 552 führte zum Glück und ergänzte somit meine Sammlung.
