When I saw this I wondered who was having sewer problems and then it dawned on me that I have a backflow valve on my sprinkler system and I pay the water people yearly for it to be checked.. I never saw anybody but then I was more interested in getting the picture than looking for people... LOL!! Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!!
The traditional wicker toboggans of Monte in Funchal, Madeira, have been ferrying visitors downhill since the 19th century. Once a practical form of transport for locals, today they offer tourists a unique and exhilarating ride along steep, winding streets. The two men—called Carreiros—steer and brake the sled with remarkable precision, wearing iconic straw hats and rubber-soled shoes. This image, rendered in black and white to emphasize movement and timelessness, was taken with a shutter speed of 1/40 second while panning with the sled to capture the dynamic motion blur in the background.
I just received my Canon EF 40mm 2.8 STM from Amazon today, so I had to test it out. Spring is here so I went outside to test out the lens, in the course of it I found this moss in the backyard growing between the bricks next to the fire pit. I had to lay almost completely flat on the ground for this angle but it was worth it.
Imaged the Heart Nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This has been a lower priority target for me in the past but got bumped up once I went mono. I'm glad I was able to get a decent shot of it this year. My camera and scope combo give a good FOV on this faint target. Oiii was extremely faint, but luckily good narrowband processing techniques can mask that well.
Total exposure time for this image is: 29 hours.

- Starnet to remove stars from each master; duplicate starless Ha and set aside to use as Luminance layer
Combine Starless Masters via PixelMath:
- Duplicate Oiii and rename to 'f'. CurvesTransformation to boost signal of f and lower background
- R: f*Sii + ~f*Ha
- G: f*(0.7*Ha + 0.3*Sii) + ~f*Oiii
- B: Oiii
- Visit thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowban... for more information on Dynamic Narrowband Combinations
- CurvesTransformation to slightly reduce green and boost saturation
Starless Ha Luminance Processing:
- CurvesTransformation for contrast
- RangeMask + LocalHistogramEqualization on Melotte 15 to bring back details
- DarkStructureEnhance script at 0.3
- UnsharpMask using a new RangeMask
Combine Luminance and Color:
- LRGBCombination with Luminance at 85% weight and chrominance noise reduction enabled
Add Back Color Stars and Final Processing:
- StarAlign linear Oiii and Sii masters to linear Ha master
- Arcsinhstretch just barely each linear master
- Duplicate each barely stretched master and Starnet each to remove stars
- PixelMath: Master_Stars - Master_Starless to get just the stars for each channel
- PixelMath: Combine the stars of each channel into a color star image:
- R: Ha_stars
- G: Sii_stars
- B: Oiii_stars
- PixelMath: RGB_Stars + RGB_Nebula to add stars into nebula image
- DynamicCrop to remove edges
- Save and Export
Another view of my very tight leopard-skin dress, the kind of look which will give the potential client the right idea – without being too explicit and possibly embarrassing him in front of his important business contacts!
This is another of my contests! As usual, there are no rules. Express your enthusiasm, and try to influence the judges, in any way that you like!!!
Love and Kisses to All!

MORE SODALITY NEWS!
Allow me to introduce to you the amazeballs ladies in the second pool of entries for our Sodality Try-outs in late August!! This group contains some real characters and hard triers – but will they qualify for the Sodality? (Which seems to be what every English Aristocrat wants for his trophy wife!)
Pledges entered in the second pool are:
Lady Arabella Crump ("Belle")
Always very busy on Chad Bronkhost’s websites, this blonde minx appears to be ultra-conservative in manner and attire on first acquaintance. Nothing could be further from the truth – and the fans adore the way this snobby and plummy-voiced English Rose transforms into a sexual wildcat when performing for the camera!! Recently married to the Duke of Wrexham, who has been beaming from ear-to-ear since the wedding!
Lady India Cuthbertson (“Indy”)
The ultra-sophisicated wife of Lord Harlech (owner of vast estates North Wales), this raven-haired beauty hales from Merseyside , where she came up through the vibrant pole-dancing and lap-dancing scene in Liverpool’s clubs and bars. India is the girl with the naughtiest, dirtiest-sounding laugh on the entire circuit (and she has the appetites to match!)
Lady Caroline Darbyshire (“Cara”)
Lady Caroline is a real handful! This stunning brunette has recently married Lord Angus Bleasdale, and has wasted no time at all in defiling the marriage bed in almost every conceivable way (with her groom’s hearty encouragement!!!). This beautiful vixen is off to a flying start as an adulteress and cuckoldress, and is my personal tip to top the scoresheets in our three-day event!
Lady Maud French (“Frenchy”)
Recently married to Lord Rockhampton, but previously a seasoned cuckoldress and top-end professional escort, this strawberry-blonde English Rose is (like lady Arabella Crump) a lady you would never imagine in a thousand years could get up to the disgraceful things that she loves doing!! Sven ‘Rockfist’ Shatterhand (Chad Bronkhorst’s chief rival in the booming genre of “snooty porn”) is mustard-keen to caste Lady Maud in one of his upcoming extreme productions.
Lady Chelsea Gascoigne (“Chaz”)
This gorgeous glamour model, polo-star and nude round-the-world yachtswoman is now married to Lord Barnes, who is several decades her senior. It’s her fourth aristocratic marriage in six years. Her outrageous escapades light up her husband’s life!
Lady Miranda Hastings (“Mandy”)
This scarlet-tressed temptress has recently married Lord Luton, the disgraced former Law Lord and her personal legal advisor (!!). One of Sir Harry Rakefield’s proteges, Mandy was a popular stripper and poledancer when Sir Harry introduced her to her future husband – an event which took place during a New Year’s Eve orgy at Lyndon Towers. Mandy is another girl that ‘Rockfist’ Shatterhand is keen to recruit for his website – but he may first have to fight of competition from Mr Bronkhorst!
Lady Katherine Kentridge (“Kato”)
Yet another keen horsewoman and strict disciplinarian, this dynamic brunette is very active with the Pratt’s Bottom Ladies Extreme Riding Academy. Kato is a dedicated Female Supremacist, who believes that men exist solely for the convenience of Women. She has recent married Lord Hammersmith, and believes that his vast wealth now exists entirely for her pleasure and amusement.
Lady Deirdre Mapplethorpe ("Deedee")
A statuesque blonde Dominatrix, this former catwalk model has been wedded for the past 18 months to the Duke of Middlesex, her third aristocratic marriage in the last five years. DeeDee has been running her own extreme BDSM website for some time. She also entertains wealthy clients from the aristocracy, City, government, and the military at her chic pad in Chelsea. If you have to ask how much, then you can’t afford her services! Needless to say, her hubby was - once upon a time - one of her clients!
Toodle-pip for now!

Here's one of the fun shots I got during the DC Photowalk. I was laying on the stomach with my daughter Scarlett right beside me. I let her help… all kids love taking photos of animals. It's a great way to get them started.

Got holed up in my room after 3-hours in Busan as the temperature plunges -5degC (feels like -13degC again due to windchill).
Used 0.9ND + Singh-ray Gold N'Blue filter to accentuate the sunset gold colors here.
From 25th August to 5th September. I went to England. It was my first travel England and my first English country. Everything was really amazing. I wish I could live there. But I was disappointed that I could not listen English well. This travel made me notice to study English more. About photos, this time I used HDR taste. I think those picture originally really great. But I found the old architecture and cloud fits them. So.. I hope you have same idea. And I hope you had nice summer vacation !!!

The distinct sound of dynamic brakes echos throughout the mountains as Union Pacific 9098 guides a heavy Green River to Roseville manifest across the Keddie Wye. The summer evening sunlight highlights this classic railroad scene which has been a favorite of photographers for decades.

The skies are darkening with the threat of more snow at East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel. Two GP40s that pushed this eastbound Rio Grande coal train from Tabernash to Winter Park are staying with the train all the way to Denver to provide some dynamic baking down the two-percent grade from the Moffat Tunnel. A couple of skiers also head back to town, braving snow-rutted roads in a 1978 Ford Fairmont, after skiing the trails toward the Continental Divide. Action on the N scale Rio Grande Moffat Road…
