"The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere."(Ian Stewart, The Chaos Theory )
Seen @ Utrecht Botanic Gardens, Holland
Effect achieved manually in-camera by zooming during a long exposure. Find more of my "flower explosions" here.

The same subject as the previous photo, now with the zoom effect during exposure.
Shot at a wider angle - hence the the bright moon looking like a meteor and the appearance of the blue Singapore Flyer (Wheel).
Part of a very colorful mural on Route 66 in Joplin, Missouri.
11/2021 I just watched a documentary on PBS called "Called to Walls" that covered the making of this beautiful mural and a few others. With input and participation from the community, the project began shortly after Joplin was hit by a devastating tornado that killed many people and destroyed around 1/3rd of Joplin in 2011. It's qa moving film that is worth a watch if you can catch it.

San Marco in Lamis è un comune italiano di 13.928 abitanti della provincia di Foggia, in Puglia.
San Marco in Lamis è nota soprattutto per la tradizionale Processione delle "fracchie", una manifestazione religiosa popolare molto suggestiva e assai singolare, che si ripete puntualmente da circa tre secoli ogni venerdì Santo per la rievocazione della Passione di Cristo, e che, ogni anno, richiama un grande afflusso di forestieri. Le fracchie sono delle enormi fiaccole, realizzate con grossi tronchi di albero di quercia o castagno aperti longitudinalmente a forma di cono e riempiti di legna, per essere incendiate all'imbrunire e divenire quindi dei falò ambulanti che illuminano il cammino della Madonna Addolorata lungo le strade del paese alla ricerca del figlio Gesù morto.Sembra che le origini di questo rito risalgano ai primi anni del XVIII secolo, epoca di edificazione della chiesa dell'Addolorata e le sue ragioni, oltre che di ordine religioso e devozionale, vadano collegate anche ad una motivazione di ordine pratico riconducibile alle precise condizioni fisiche dell'abitato. Infatti, quando venne costruita (1717), la chiesa dell'Addolorata si trovava fuori del centro abitato e lì sarebbe rimasta fino all'ultimo ventennio del XIX secolo. Una collocazione questa che sollecitò la fantasia degli abitanti, i quali pensarono di illuminare con le "fracchie" la strada che la Madonna percorreva dalla sua chiesa fino alla Collegiata, dove era custodito il corpo del Cristo. Le “fracchie più grandi possono essere lunghe anche 13-14 metri e pesare anche 60-70 quintali di legno di quercia , castagno o abete .

San Marco in Lamis is a town of 13.928 citizens and comune in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It is located in the Gargano massif area.Apart from some tourism conted to pilgrimages at the local Catholic sanctuary of St. Matthew, the economy is mostly based on agriculture.San Marco in Lamis is known for the traditional procession of "fracchie", a very popular religious manifestation suggestive and very singular, that is repeated regularly from about three centuries each friday Saint for the reenactment of the passion of Christ, and that each year draws a large influx of foreigners. The fracchie are huge torches, made with large trees oak opened longitudinally cone-shaped and filled with wood, to be burned at dusk and become so a itinerant bonfires that illuminate the journey of our Lady of Sorrows along the roads of the country in search of the son Jesus died.It seems that the origins of this rite dates back to the early 18th century, a time of edification of the Church of our Lady of sorrows and his reasons as well as religious and devotional order, should be connected to a practical motivation due to precise physical conditions of the town. In fact, when it was built (1717), the Church of our Lady of Sorrows was out of town and would remain there until the last two decades of the 19th century. A bin that solicited the imagination of the inhabitants, whom they thought to illuminate with the "fracchie" the way that she ran from her church until the collegiate, where he guarded the body of Christ. The"Fracchia" can also get the length of 13-14 meters and weigh 60-70 quintals of wood of oak. From wikipedia

Drug Side Effects:
A side effect is usually regarded as an undesirable secondary effect which occurs in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of a drug or medication. Side effects may vary for each individual depending on the person's disease state, age, weight, gender, ethnicity and general health.
Side effects can occur when commencing, decreasing/increasing dosages, or ending a drug or medication regimen. Side effects may also lead to non-compliance with prescribed treatment. When side effects of a drug or medication are severe, the dosage may be adjusted or a second medication may be prescribed. Lifestyle or dietary changes may also help to minimize side effects.

I wanted to focus on the season Autumn. The leaves change and so do we as human beings.
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before.
Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unlikely behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill may roll into any of several valleys fully depending on slight differences in initial position.
The butterfly effect is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with hypotheses where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes. . . Wikipedia
Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Dominie T.1 XS728/E from No.6 Flying Training School when based at RAF Finningley and seen on one of Greenham Common's huge concrete pans while attending the first IAT held there in July of 1973
Dominies were the military version of the DH125/HS125 Executive Jet and were used as Hi-speed Navigation Trainers but with the demise of both the Nimrod and introduction of the 2-crew Voyagers, their role became redundant and the fleet were retired.
Now with the advent of the Poseidon P-8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft on order - the need to train crews again has led to the acquisition of several Embraer Phenom Jets
As to this location, at the height of the 'Cold War' Greenham Common was a former US Air Force base hosting B-47 Stratojet bombers. Now closed, the base is slowly being returned to 'Common' ground for the enjoyment of the local population. Back then Finningley was a V-Bomber base, hosting Vulcans but with the ending of that era, it's no longer a RAF base and is now known as Doncaster's 'Robin Hood' Airport

The 'Princess Alexandra' on the corner of Alexandra Road and St.Edmunds Road in Northampton. This pub had undergone a facelift a couple of years back. I am not over keen on the wooden 'plank' style sign on the pub front, but it`s nice to see a traditional style sign hanging from the side of the pub.
Droids are not allowed to do this, but C-3PO tried it anyway. A curious cat he is.
I wanted to see if I could make the lightsaber blade reflect on the shiny golden surface of the Threepio action figure. I couldn't really find a good angle to capture those reflections, the fact that the figure has no wrist movement kept the angle of the lightsaber fixed, which didn't help. The blade itself is an in-camera effect done with a lit transparent acrylic rod, it was also a limitation because the lightsource on the other end of the rod kept producing weird reflections.
So, the desired effect didn't work at the time, but I liked the shot as it is when I ran across it today while cleaning my computer hard drive. The halo around the blade comes from an "infrared" Photoshop filter I used on a layer at some point when processing this shot.
