I arrived at the site to discover I hadn't packed my tripod in the car boot. I can't handle a 500mm f4 lens unsupported for any length of time, so that was a huge negative at the start of the day having driven the 40 miles from Nottingham. The consequence was that of 300 plus shots taken all were to a greater, or lesser degree soft and largely scrap, which was a shame, as I thought I'd otherwise got a range of nice clean shots of these lovely little birds. This was one of the slightly more presentable ones. I haven't had much joy with Whinchats over the 6 years I've been photographing birds - the curse of the Whinchat strikes again!
Many thanks to Stuart Allen for the locational advice, it was spot on. Snag was a week had gone by and that was something else I omitted to double check this morning!
Thank you for your comments and faves,
The Tüshaus mill is a water mill near Dorsten-Deuten in North Rhine-Westphalia. The mill is located on the southern edge of the forest area of Üfter Mark, where the water of the Hammbach River from Rhade is stowed to the mill pond.
The history of the Tüshaus-Hof, to which the mill belongs, can be traced back to 1382. The lords of Lembeck, who held the water law in their territory, leased a whale mill driven by the water of the Hammbach in 1615 to a certain Mr. Tuschhaus.
However, the mill was not the first building on this site, as it was built on older foundations. Sheep were mainly kept in the extensive heathland surrounding the area. The wool was rolled in the Tüshaus mill by a hammer mill and sold as felt material to the region's cloth makers for further processing. The billing books include customers from Wesel, Recklinghausen, Westerholt, Dülmen, Münster and Dinxperlo.
The mill had already been increased in 1752 and expanded by a second mill wheel, so that since 1754 it also served the tenant Joan-Heinrich Tüshaus as an oil mill. The oil was obtained mainly from the rapeseed and linseed of the surrounding fields. In 1880 Albert Brosthaus was the Ölmüller, followed by Dumpe and Schetter. The old plants of the oil mill were replaced in 1914 by a modern hydraulic oil mill, which pressed the oil out of the seeds with 350 atü. The operation of the oil mill was discontinued around 1948 for economic reasons.
I had driven by this spot in Western Pennsylvania many times over the past 4 years. It never failed to grab some part of my attention, and I always thought of it as an interesting and special scene. I promised myself time and again that I would stop to capture an image some day. After several years and an hours-long thunder storm, I finally did it. [Flickr Explore, No. 85, January 10, 2023]

Es sieht nur so aus, als wollte der Motorradfahrer das Reh jagen. In Wirklichkeit wurde der Rehbock aufgeschreckt und hat das Motorrad überholt.
It just looks like the motorcyclist was trying to chase the deer. In reality, the roebuck was startled and overtook the motorcycle.

On March 3, 1897, the Norwegian barque SS Nornen wrecked on Berrow Beach, Somerset, during a violent gale while sailing from Bristol with a crew of ten and a dog. The vessel, incapacitated by the storm, was driven onto Gore Sands, but all crew members were bravely rescued by the local RNLI lifeboat..
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.
The White House is a building and National Heritage Site in Rotterdam, Netherlands, built in 1898 in the Art Nouveau style. The building is 43 m (141 ft) tall, with 10 floors. [1] It was also the first high-rise building in Europe. The building is listed as a Rijksmonument.
Construction
The architect Willem Molenbroek designed the 10-storey building, at the time an unprecedented height in Europe. The site at Wijnhaven 3 is just 1 m above sea-level and skeptics claimed that the soft soil of Rotterdam would be unable to adequately support the building, so before construction could properly begin, 1000 piles were driven into the ground to support the building's weight. The building is constructed from iron, steel and concrete, and includes two thick interior walls which increase the building's strength. Unlike many other contemporary buildings of the time, wood was not a significant construction material due to the fear of fire. The building cost 127,900 Dutch guilders.
It was also one of the few buildings in central Rotterdam to survive the German bombing campaigns of World War II.

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 Douglas C-49H CF-PWH (c/n 2198) "Spirit of the Skeena" Built in 1935
The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner that was manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It had a lasting effect on the airline industry from the 1930s through World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved, 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with conventional landing gear, powered by two radial piston engines of 1,000–1,200 hp (750–890 kW). Although the DC-3s originally built for civil service had the Wright R-1820 Cyclone, later civilian DC-3s used the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engine.[ The DC-3 has a cruising speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), a capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) of cargo, and a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km); it can operate from short runways.
The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before World War II, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the continental United States from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours, with only three stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies. In 1939, at the peak of its dominance in the airliner market, around 90% of airline flights on the planet were by a DC-3 or some variant.
Following the war, the airliner market was flooded with surplus transport aircraft, and the DC-3 was no longer competitive because it was smaller and slower than aircraft built during the war. It was made obsolete on main routes by more advanced types such as the Douglas DC-4 and Convair 240, but the design proved adaptable and was still useful on less commercially demanding routes.
Civilian DC-3 production ended in 1943 at 607 aircraft. Military versions, including the C-47 Skytrain (the Dakota in British RAF service), and Soviet- and Japanese-built versions, brought total production to over 16,000. Many continued to be used in a variety of niche roles; 2,000 DC-3s and military derivatives were estimated to be still flying in 2013;] by 2017 more than 300 were still flying. As of 2023, it was estimated about 150 were still flying.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.
Stay healthy

I’ve got to admit, I’ve driven by this wonderful old abandoned house for many years. Indeed, I drove by it pretty much daily on the way to the “grind” for 23 years until I retired from regular employment in 2018. It’s conveniently right off the side of the road where it’s easy to pull over so I have no excuse for taking this long to get a photo of it other than “I’ve never gone by in good light with a camera in the car,” which is admittedly pretty weak. Enter my recently started journey in to infrared photography. With infrared, light that is harsh for standard visible light photography becomes exactly what the doctor ordered for “punchy” black and white images, which are perfect for old abandoned structures like this one.
For those interested in the technical aspect of the image, I captured it on a full spectrum modified camera using an 830 nanometer filter on the lens so no visible light was involved.

On a beautiful day at LA's Cabrlllo's Beach I looked up and saw this wonderful scene of nature! Enjoy! In Explore!
By far this is the best fantrip I've ever been on. This was supposed to be a shorter roundtrip from Erwin to St Paul with steamer #1 and just the 2 cars that it could pull unassisted. When the steamer went down with a mechanical issue, the ETRHS got together with railroad officials and replaced #1 with FP7 #200, added business car 100, and took the train all the way to Elkhorn City. I got to experience the whole north end of the railroad all in one day. The air conditioned business car was a god send on the hot humid day. We all shared time in the car and the cab of #200. There weren't many people getting off for photo stops so we were able to do a bunch of them. This was is at the SE Trammel. The stop was made way in the background by the crossing. I walked south toward Sandy Ridge tunnel. The train here is about to enter Sandy Ridge tunnel which is the top of the 34 mile grade from Elkhorn City. It was somewhere in this view that the final spike was driven in 1915 completing the Elkhorn Extension from Dante to Elkhorn City. Happy Fantrip Friday. June 21, 1975
