I think this one represents the color of the blooms a bit better...I really hard a hard time getting the image to look as vibrant on flickr as it does in camera and on my computer..first ones I posted were really dull on flickr...so hope this looks OK ...I know all screens are different.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

HSS!

Had the hardest time focusing on those tiny tips!

苧環(オダマキ) / Columbine

I have this really hard time with B/W photos.Although I like them, I never get to do them... I miss colour!

So this one is almost a B/W photo! But the flower was already white, so that was an easy one for me!

The sharp peak in the center is the famous Dent du Geant (Giant's Tooth), height 4013 m.

Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting. My external hard drive was damaged in my luggage and that is where all my photos are. I have someone that is going to look at it on Monday and retrieve everything for me. Will do my best to catch up as much as I can.

 

Have a great weekend.

Such an elegant bloomer! She is a lovely Aquillegia/Columbine.

The excellence being the detailed brick arch and Victorian signalling at Par rather than the approaching (and currently disgraced after the mass fleet withdrawal) Hitachi set.

 

Little has changed in the signalling world west of Liskeard (maybe only Penzance losing its semaphores in 1982) since I was travelling behind class 50s in the late seventies and early eighties. Even earlier than that with the Westerns and Warships and Castles & Halls, the ever-present bridges and signals have seen them all come and go.

 

The train has been kept in the background in the scene, as it's the other older things such as the old ground signal paraffin holder and spiky finial atop the up home signal that catch the eye.

 

The service was 1C76 1004 Paddington to Penzance formed of 802004 & 802001 on 5th May 2021.

We have several Bougainvillea plants and I love to take their pictures. Hope you frickr friends do not get bore with them yet.

On Explore #235.

Always a thrilling display, Aerosuperbatics have been doing this for decades. I think their 'Excellence in Wingwalking' slogan is fairly recent, and it does raise the question as to whether any other standard of wingwalking would be survivable. 'Mediocre at wingwalking - but not for long!'

Apparently, anyone can have a go at this for a small fee (you pay them, not the other way round!). If you are interested, let me know and I'll book a slot for you. Don't all rush at once.....

One of the wingwalkers in the picture was interviewed befiore the show and said she got the job by applying to an advertisment. I imagine turning up for the interview was enough to secure the position....

The aircraft are Boeing Stearmans, if anyone is interested - very noisy as they have a similar engine and propeller to the T6. Texan/Harvard.

Latest project of Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in Bremen. She will be delivered in summer 2019

What you can do:

You can criticise silence,

You can ignore silence.

What you cannot do:

You cannot sit even one fleeting minute

In silence.

Yet one day

It is you and you alone

Who will marry silence

And become inseparably one

With silence-sky.

This is doctored up. I used gradient tool picking up on the pink color and an oval selection. Just an experiment with PS.
