We're expecting lots of rain tomorrow, and a flood watch has also been issued for our area for tomorrow because we are expected to be in the outer rainbands of Hurricane Idalia which is hitting Florida tonight and then passing on through to southern Georgia and South and North Carolina.
Our biggest concern for tomorrow, with all the rain, is trees falling and knocking down power lines. No power means no Flickr. And just not sure how long I can go without that!?!
So, right now we're trying to be chill, like Frodo here, and enjoy our air-conditioning, lights, and all the good things that come with power. LOL!
remake of an old idea.
still having troubles with my computer, will catch up as soon as possible.

Folks wouldn't normally expect to find significantly damaged asbestos materials in their very own workplace, inside a return-air plenum just feet above their heads, hidden from view by a suspended ceiling system...or would they?
This particular pipe insulation material has four distinct layers: two layers that contain asbestos and two that don't. The thin black-felt inner liner and the outer grey paper underneath the canvas, contain asbestos. The brown, thick, perforated mid-layers and thin outer canvas are cellulose-based and do not contain asbestos.
This pipe insulation material was designed to insulate colder pipe systems to prevent sweating or condensation, such as on the pictured galvanized cold water pipe.
Similar pipe insulation material, with a thin asbestos felt liner, has also been known as: "Duplex". Sampling this type of pipe insulation has been known to be problematic for less experienced surveyors/inspectors, sometimes missing the thin asbestos felt layer below the dense bulk of the non-asbestos cellulose layers.

UPDATE: I honestly did not expect this photo to be added to Flickr’s “Explore” page (No. 395 out of 500 on January 15, 2022). What a pleasant surprise! Thank you for checking out my photos. 😁
I truly do not know if this is a Tremella fungus or not. I found a bunch of mushroom spores growing under one of our outside Christmas decorations. Google image search thinks this is a type of Tremella fungus but I think it is growing next to a Parasol or Shaggy Parasol mushroom through the mulch we have in our front yard.
Can these two species grow next to one another?

These lyrics are a good reminder that when we only strive to seek things that are perfect we miss out on so much. Snowflakes are rarely the perfect beauties that we see as Christmas ornaments. But they have so much to offer in their "imperfect" beauty. This heavily rimed plate is quite stunning despite, and maybe even because of, its imperfections.
The skies looked pretty innocent when I headed out to the local road end. When I got there the wind was howling and the skies were spitting rain. I had to touch up the photo a bit to remove some rain drops. The best photos seem to come when you least expect it.

I didn't expect to see White Ibis in Delaware. I think of them as more Florida area birds. But apparently they've been seen more often at Cape Henlopen State Park recently and may be expanding their range. A lifer for me.

Finally developed some film today, the first since March I think. I still have around 15 rolls to develop but it's a start!
One of those occasions where I load expired film (reloaded from another camera) to test a camera only to wish I'd used fresh film as the model was better than expected :)

Visitors to Morano can expect to be transported to an era where the pace of life was dictated by the ringing of church bells and the rhythm of artisanal crafts. The town's atmosphere is charged with a magical quality, almost as if time has stood still, allowing modern-day explorers to soak in the rich cultural heritage that permeates every corner. These narrow, winding pathways, some chiseled into the very rock, ascend steeply, weaving through a tightly-knit tapestry of homes, religious edifices, and historical structures. The town's layout is a marvel of medieval urban planning, with houses, churches, monasteries, arches, portals, underpasses, stairways, and squares all interlocking in an intimate dance of stone and history. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or simply in search of Italy's lesser-known locales, Morano Calabro offers an experience that is as enriching as it is visually stunning.

Everything at Imagine Dragons is too round, algorithmically perfect. What a festival rock fan expects is twofold: vocalist with positive speeches, strong percussion and overcoming lyrics, for example.
With two Lollapaloozas in the bag, Imagine Dragons debuted at Rock in Rio near its peak. The U2 of this end of the decade does not skimp on shredded paper and vowel refrain. It has insistent guitar riff, but also some hip hop (diluted but present) and, new to this tour, more arrangements with electronic footprint. It was a live test of the strength of the Imagine Dragons.

23 songs.
Shots (part of the 7th. song of 23 songs)
Am I out of touch?
Am I out of my place?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for an empty space
Oh, I'm wishing you're here
But I'm wishing you're gone
I can't have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the meantime we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved
Am I out of luck?
Am I waiting to break?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for a way to escape
Oh, I'm wishing I had what I'd taken for granted
I can't help you when I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the meantime we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

My friends probably expected me to take a photo of bars of chocolate for this topic - an obvious choice for me. But, amazingly, those bars were still on the shelf when I finished shopping today. I would like any of them, except chilli. Of course, I may need shopping again later this week…!

This is the most prominent, busiest and popular side of Grand Canal. This part of the Rialto bridge is normally full of people all day long. Except if you go for sunrise/dawn; you will find the place for yourself. This evening was not an exception. As I had prior experience of what to expect, I went prepared and went early so that I have time to get the right spot and setup things properly. Setting up a tripod here is close to impossible. So I kept my little pocket tripod with me. It is a bit tough to setup, but it is pretty stable unlike most pocket tripods. It is ruggedly build solid aluminium and has a payload of 8 KG; which is very good for any DSLR. As long as there is a right base to set it up; it is good to go. So I took my time to set it up and then it was all about wait for the right moment to click.
Yet again the mobile photographers were real pain with people almost stretching their arm in front of the camera and even using flash to lit up Venice!!! I had to be very careful and kept the camera strap all the time on my neck as those super excited mobile photographers could anytime hit the camera to send it into the river. I wish there was no mobile camera invented and I wish we were still in the film world where photography was so hard that it was out of reach for most of the people. In modern world, specially with the mobile camera, serious photography is becoming more and more difficult. Specially at the popular places.
However; I am happy as long as people respect others. But unfortunately many mobile photographers have no respect of others and they are mostly unaware of photography. So probably they unknowingly put their arm in front of someone's long exposure without knowing that a camera can capture an image for several seconds. For them, it is just one click. At the same time, the flash is probably also unintentional as the mobiles are in auto and the flash triggers automatically. Many users of the mobile camera don't bother finding out how to switch that off.
Finally when I managed to capture one decent shot, I was super happy as I almost lost my hope. I immediately got out of there leaving rest of the people to fight with their mobile. It was a great relief.
At the end the image was all right and I did manage to capture some of the movements on the water. Even though I wanted a bit longer exposure. It was impossible in that circumstance. So I will content myself with this.
I have read a lot about Venice becoming over crowded. I can relate to it. I visited Venice few times with intervals of some years and indeed; this time I experienced the worse. Many tourists not respectful of the fragile situation of Venice. Throwing garbage all over the place. Throwing bottles into the water. It was a sad scene to experience in this amazing historic city. That is why I liked the dawn photography more. As I could enjoy the calmness with no one around and I could explore the corners at my own pace without any chaos.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
An expected light
Why can't I love you?
An unexpected delight
Why can't I love you?
When I'm in your arms
The world is beautiful
When I'm in your arms
I am beautiful
What's wrong with me?
There is love all around
What's wrong with me?
I keep on letting you down
A snowstorm is expected tonight sap I made a grocery run and picked up and photographed some colourful fruit.
PS: I just needed some colour for my photo stream:) Happy Weekend!
Sometimes, fireworks don't explode where you expect them... Thanks to photoshop, I develop my own technique to put them where I want them to be plus combining this with my DRI technique.
Parfois les feux d'artifices n'explosent pas toujours là où on voudrait... Grâce à photoshop, j'ai développé ma technique qui me permet de les mettre là où je les veux en la combinant à ma technique DRI.

My technique is alway the same:
Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...
DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:
Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...
DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

Democracy in Venezuela is about to die, It has slowly been eroded for 9 years by a government that was elected by popular vote. But has systematically concentrated power on the president and discriminated opposers.
In Venezuela you can no longer think differently from the official view.
Those of us who oppose the regime are criminalized, many journalists have had to go on exile, there are political prisoners that have been for years in trails or processes that don’t go anywhere, some opposition political figures are in liberty but under constant harassment by the executive and judicial. Anyone who opposes can expect insults and defamation by the highest government officials and violence from its followers.
But the Venezuelan democracy will die on December 2, if a proposed constitutional reform is approved.
President Hugo Chavez, has design a constitutional reform that will modify 69 articles of the current constitution. A reform that is unconstitutional itself, because it changes the basic principles of the constitution and the definition of the Venezuelan State, which is in direct violation of itself, according to it modification of basic principles can’t be modified with a reform (Art 342), a Constitutional Assembly has to be convoked instead, to make a new constitution via vote.
The illegitimacy of the reform, if approved, is far from the only concern. The state will be defined as Socialist, and the exercise of the means of democratic participation like vote and participation on public office will have to be for the construction of socialism, making illegitimate any action by people of different political views, destroying political pluralism. In violation of the Human Rights (proposed art. 16, 70) (Violation of the art. 21 and 32 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), and Chavez could reelect himself indefinitely.
