Electrified faces, just playing with a photo once made for the music group eBraam.
eBraam is an instrumental trio (Michiel Braam, Pieter Douma and Dirk-Peter Kölsch), which heavily uses all sorts of improvisation with a mixture of jazz, funk and seventies rock. Influences of Soft Machine, Ten Years After, George Duke and Herbie Hancock can be heard throughout the music.
If you want to listen, here's the link. Enjoy ;-)

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
As the first rays of sunshine hit the sheer cliff edge behind, light bounced upwards and illuminated the underneath of Mesa Arch with a stunning red glow!
On this cloudless morning, we got to Mesa Arch about half an hour before sunrise.
Being a Sunday, I knew there would be a big crowd and I did not count on getting a spot in front of the arch.
Perhaps being a Sunday worked to my advantage, for there were only two photogs with tripods taking up the center stage (the rest probably knew better to avoid the weekend chaos!), most others (at least 100 if not more, scattered around) were casual visitors just there to capture the sunrise with cell phones. Many of them climbed up the rocks to the left of the arch or the higher ground on the right side behind the arch, obviously they didn't understand what made this a unique sunrise shooting location!
There were even TWO open spots in front of the arch: the 1st and the 3rd on the right side (facing the arch)!
I took the 3rd spot (from the right) and I held my ground, though I really wished I could take a photo of that nearby dome shaped rock which was bathing in the glowy pre-dawn light!
I did not bring a tripod because I needed the freedom to move around.
I walked away with 4 good photos, that's way more than I have ever expected!
Thanks for your visit, I wish you a nice Sunday!!! 💕😘

1 am.This was a lighting storm we stood Watching in Malta . Just amazing to see the sea been struck by the lightning.We must stood here for over an hour as the storm got nearer.Then the rain and the lightning was so close I thought our car was gone be hit .
Two thunderstorms passed through yesterday, this being the first dry storm, a pleasure to see it pass infront of me with no rain
Taken for the “Macro Mondays” theme “Ready for the Day”. HMM!
I did add the glow and inverted the image in photoshop. If that's an issue I will take it out of the group. It needed a little something extra.
Explore May 22/09....Canada Goose Gosling. View Large On Black Canada geese may be one of the most talkative animals after humans. Goslings, or baby geese, begin communicating with their parents while still in the egg! Once hatched, there is also evidence that they respond differently to different calls and noises from their parents, indicating a sophisticated level of communication. IMG_5030
I was quite amused when this Western Meadowlark pulled all its feathers out into a ruff. I don't think this was just the wind, although it was a bit windy that day when my friend Margaret and I plied the country roads looking for these birds. And I don't think the fence was electrified as there were no wires on the post the bird is sitting on ;)
I thought you might get a smile from this image as I did.
Taken 9 June 2017 near Vanscoy, Saskatchewan, Canada.
It was interesting to see how birds for some reason know which wire to land on and not get electrocuted. When a bird is perched on a single wire, its two feet are at the same electrical potential, so the electrons in the wires have no motivation to travel through the bird's body. No moving electrons means no electric current. Our Mockingbird is safe, for the moment anyway.

I thought it was interesting that there are more guy wires holding up this pole than there are power lines going to houses. I guess this must be a very windy corner and the Power Company is afraid they might lose their pole to high winds. I can’t think why else it would have to be so strongly secured. HTT
This started out as a section of an electricity pylon, but since it's Sunday......... I played - HSS!
Der Leuchtturm Eierland ist ein Leuchtturm an der nördlichen Spitze der niederländischen Insel Texel. Er erhielt seinen Namen von der ehemaligen Insel Eierland, die heute nach Landgewinnungsmaßnahmen zu Texel gehört.
m Jahre 1835 begannen niederländische Küstenplaner mit der Eindeichung des Wattengebietes zwischen den Inseln Texel und Eierland. Nach Abschluss dieser Arbeiten wurde die ehemals selbstständige Insel Eierland Teil der wesentlich größeren Insel Texel. Durch den enormen Landgewinn bedurfte es neuer Schifffahrtszeichen. So genehmigte die Landesregierung den Bau eines Leuchtturms an der neuen Nordspitze Texels, den Auftrag für die Planung erhielt der Architekt Quirinus Harder, der am 25. Juli 1863 auch den Grundstein des neuen Turmes auf einer rund 20 Meter hohen Düne legte. In Betrieb genommen wurde der rot gestrichene Turm am 1. November 1864. Der damalige Abstand zwischen Leuchtturm und Küste betrug 3000 Meter.
Von 1864 bis 1910 wurde der Turm mit Petroleum-Brennern betrieben, ehe diese 1910 durch Pharoline-Brenner ersetzt wurden. Elektrifiziert wurde der Leuchtturm Eierland schließlich im Jahre 1927.
Während des Aufstandes der Georgier im April 1945 wurde der Turm schwer beschädigt, sodass er in der Folge erheblich saniert werden musste. So wurde eine neue Außenmauer erbaut und das Interieur aufwändig renoviert. 1977 erhielt der Turm schließlich eine rote Kunststoff-Beschichtung. Seit 2009 ist der Turm für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich und kann bis zum 6. Stockwerk bestiegen werden. Das Leuchtfeuer und das Büro des Leuchtturmwärters sind nicht zugänglich. In Höhe des 5. Stockwerkes gibt es einen Rundgang zwischen der alten und der neuen Außenwand. Hier sind Einschusslöcher sichtbar.
Eierland lighthouse is a lighthouse on the northern tip of the Dutch island of Texel. It got its name from the former island of Eierland, which today belongs to Texel after land reclamation measures.
n 1835, Dutch coastal planners began diking the Wadden area between the islands of Texel and Eierland. Once this work was completed, the formerly independent island of Eierland became part of the much larger island of Texel. Due to the enormous gain of land, new shipping signs were needed. The state government approved the construction of a lighthouse on the new northern tip of Texel, and the architect Quirinus Harder was commissioned to plan the project. The red-painted tower was put into operation on November 1, 1864. At that time, the distance between the lighthouse and the coast was 3,000 meters.
From 1864 to 1910 the tower was operated with petroleum burners before they were replaced by Pharoline burners in 1910. The Eierland lighthouse was finally electrified in 1927.
During the Georgian uprising in April 1945, the tower was badly damaged, so that it subsequently had to be extensively renovated. A new outer wall was built and the interior extensively renovated. In 1977 the tower finally received a red plastic coating. The tower has been open to the public since 2009 and you can climb up to the 6th floor. The lighthouse and the lighthouse keeper's office are not accessible. At the level of the 5th floor there is a tour between the old and the new outer wall. Bullet holes are visible here.
Northern class 150 unit 150104 (partnered with 150138) departs Blackpool South with the 3.16pm to Colne (2N78).
With a scheduled 4 minute turnaround at this terminus, there's barely time for the driver to walk from one end of the train to the other before setting off again. On this day the turnaround was even tighter seeing as arrival from Colne was 2 minutes late.
Blackpool South, with its single platform and evidence of former glories en route, is very much the Cinderella line into this popular northern seaside town. In fact a significant part of the remaining platform has been abandoned to nature, as seen in this shot. By contrast Blackpool North is vibrant, recently electrified, and boasts fast direct services to London Euston. No surprise It also handles the vast majority of passenger arrivals and departures.
I arrived into this station on a sunny Sunday afternoon and walked the two miles or so along the bracing, enjoyable and ever vibrant promenade before waltzing back inland to North Station for the rather faster ride back to Preston.
A bit of a record shot so I'm not expecting a ten from Len. Sure I spotted Madge though.....

Refelecting scoffolding makes it look like building is being electrified. Wood plank is where glass blew out during recent wind storm. This is about 30 floors up. Lucky it was late in the day as this is right in the heart of the city.
