Five thousand is the largest isogrammic number in the English language.... well blow me! Closer to home it also represents the number of images that I have, with this one today, posted on Flickr (drum roll, round of applause, party time with jelly and ice cream .... NO clowns though please as they still induce me with fear enough to reach for the nearest sawn off twelve bore!)
So my Five Thousandth (not sure if that is even a word), upload to Flickr since joining some fourteen months ago, and for me a most appropriate frame that says everything for the things in photography that personally entice, thrill and excite me. Water based, taken in the Golden hour around sunrise when I am at one with my Nikon and Mother nature, a mass of birds pirouetting across the sky just behind the wings of the main silhouetted seagull to the left, a boat left high and dry awaiting the tide to set her free once more. Yep, I am never happier than when trying to capture a scene such as this one.
Flickr was a departure for me, a decision to go it alone, strip everything away and concentrate on what I loved doing, taking photographs for my own pleasure and to show my family and friends 'this is what I do'. Although I know that I will never sell a frame, nor be discovered, nor have a huge following....
What I do have is that same passion, drive, excitement and love for photography that first hit me aged seven with a box Brownie 120 roll film camera, and an upside down glass prism viewfinder. Along with the pleasure of talking cameras and meeting some lovely people on Flickr along the way, I am incredibly happy now just doing what I do and caring little for the things that perhaps once threatened to dull my passion for the wonderful world of photography.
At long last I am 'doing it for myself' and loving every moment.

On November 11, 2017 Bonhams auctioned off the famed Bothwell Collection, most notable for its vintage automobiles but also containing five horse-drawn streetcars and a 36" steam locomotive and train. The collection was housed on the Bothwell Ranch in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. I had known about it for many years, but had never seen it in person. For the auction everything had been cleaned up and most things were moved outside of their storage barns so that everyone could have a proper look. It was certainly a memorable event to attend- and no I didn't buy any cars or full-size trains, just a few toy train goodies!
We've been lucky to have five relatively clear nights lately, and I've been able to get some decent shots of the crescents. The last two were in slightly cloudy conditions, with the fourth night being the most difficult to get a sharp image.

5Pointz Aerosol Art Center, Inc. is an outdoor art exhibit space in Long Island City, New York, considered to be the world’s premiere “graffiti Mecca,” where aerosol artists from around the globe paint colorful pieces on the walls of a 200,000-square-foot factory building.
The name 5Pointz signifies the five boroughs coming together as one but, because of its reputation as an epicenter of the graffiti scene, the industrial complex has actually united aerosol artists from across the world. Legendary writers from Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, and all over the United States have painted on the building walls, including Stay High 149, Tracy 168, Cope2, Part, and Tats Cru.
Over the past decade, the striking, graffiti-covered warehouse has attracted several hip-hop and R&B stars, including Doug E. Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Kaz, Mobb Deep, Rahzel, DJ JS-1, Boot Camp Clik, Joan Jett, and Joss Stone.
On any given day, 5Pointz visitors can expect to find prominent artists, musicians, deejays, Emcees (rappers), and B-boys (break dancers) on site, in addition to filmmakers, photographers, and entire tour buses full of admirers soaking in the more than 350 Technicolor murals.
The gallery curator is graffiti veteran Jonathan Cohen, best known by his signature tag, “Meres One.” His goal is to convert the five-story, block-long industrial complex at Jackson Avenue and Davis Street, formerly the Phun Phactory, into a graffiti art museum.

Built 1911 as the headquarters for the Liebig's Extract of Meat Company. The company produced beef extract using a process developed by German chemist Justus von Liebig in the 1840s. Utilising the large cattle farms of South America and an enormous processing plant in Fray Bentos, Uruguay, the company could supply beef broth cubes to the European market at a dramatically cheaper price.
The X-Wings Lego made were good, but not entirely accurate. I wanted to make some that were a bit better, but I wasn't sure how to make the nose. I search Brickshelf, and found the best X-Wing that I have ever seen, made by user Niko: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=62632. I based mine off of that one. I wanted to make Luke's Red Five and Wedge's Red Two. I based the markings on Luke's off a small Hasbro Titanium Series model (I couldn't find a pic of it, but the markings are similar to these: www.likecool.com/Gear/Film/X-Wing Red Five Model/X-Wing-Red-Five-Model.jpg ), and the markings on Wedge's were based off of the ones on this: www2.mintinbox.net/site/actus/09-02/0209xwing/1.jpg.

North Wales. The ‘Mathew’ replica sailing past Garth Pier, Bangor and firing her cannon in salute to the City of Bangor. The original ship set sail under its master John Cabot from Bristol with a commission from King Henry VII (The first Tudor monarch) giving him, "full and free authoritie, leave, and power, to sayle to all partes, countreys, a see as, of the East, of the West, and of the North, under our banners and ensignes, with five ships ... and as many mariners or men as they will have in saide ships, upon their own proper costes and charges, to seeke out, discover, and finde, whatsoever iles, countreyes, regions or provinces of the heathen and infidelles, whatsoever they bee, and in what part of the world soever they be, whiche before this time have beene unknowen to all Christians."
Asia was the destination but on the 24th of June 1497, Cabot landed in Newfoundland. Great things were expected of the new discovery but the gold treasure that came to Spain following Columbus discoveries did not follow.
Three others were next to me on the pier that day and we all took shots just as the ship passed the pier. The other three put their cameras away but I have let too many shots get away doing the same thing. As the others secured their cameras in their bags a shout went up from the Matthew and she fired a cannon. I was the only one that took a shot of her firing her cannon. I took the shot to a local newspaper and offered it to them free of charge. The shot was admired but they explained they were going to use a profession photographer when the ship moored in Caernarfon the next the day. In due course a picture appeared in the paper showing the Matthew far out from the quay with noting of interest happening. I have to concede however, the picture in the paper had been taken by a professional.

Detail from the Wild in Art Website :
DESIGN INSPIRATION
Adam Pekr’s design is based around the idea of Five Salford Rings. The Snowman is wearing the first ring, a traditional Christmas wreath, around his neck. He is stood on a spinning wheel to represent Salford’s rich history in silk spinning. The two rings on his front are an industrial roller chain and a diamond ring, representing Salford’s economic development. He is wearing a life ring in case he decides to take a swim in The Quays!

ORLANDO, Fla. -
Hundreds of Soldiers and family members shared the joy, pride, courage and sadness as five men brought their Army careers to a close during a retirement ceremony held April 19, 2015, at the 1st Lt. David R. Wilson Armed Forces Reserve Center in Orlando, Fla.
Army Col. Kevin M. Sullivan, Army Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Ralph D. Goodwin, Jr., Army Lt. Col. Michael D. Fernandez, Army Master Sgt. Sixto L. Luna and Army Sgt. 1st Class Jason L. Yunker each boasted unique and impressive careers that included numerous combat operations, training exercises and humanitarian missions spanning throughout across the globe as far back as the late 1970s. Their combined experience that culminated to senior leadership positions at the 143d ESC accounted for more than 150 years of dedicated military service to the country.
Army Brig. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat, commanding general, 143d ESC, led the ceremony as he presented medals to the Soldiers as well as flowers and certificates of appreciation to their wives.
Espaillat relinquished the floor to every retiree whose farewell remarks produced roaring laughter, standing ovations and a few tears inside the packed auditorium.
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of Old Glory to each retiree, the singing of the Army Song and a traditional cake cutting.
"Less than one percent of all Americans serve in the [U.S.]military," said Espaillat. "Of those, less than 18 percent retire from the service. It is only right give these men and women a proper retirement ceremony that recognizes the decades of sacrifices they and their families have made for the safety and security of our nation."

Style: New Orleansâ Groove
FIRST TIME IN ASCONA!
Mardi Gras⦠in salsa danese fra jazz nâroll e irresistibile funk groove
Jazz Five presenta al pubblico un travolgente spaccato della musica di New Orleans di oggi grazie a uno spettacolo di grande impatto in cui il groove funkeggiante delle second lines si mescola con il blues, lo shuffle, il jazzânâroll.
Costituitisi nel 1996, i Jazz Five hanno allâattivo più di mille concerti in Europa, Stati Uniti e persino nella Corea del Sud nel 2013. La band è unâautentica macchina da party, che non si ferma mai e che trascina l'ascoltatore nelle caldissime atmosfere del Mardi Gras di New Orleans. Con due sax a formare la front line, unâenergica sezione ritmica, un pianoforte dal tocco blues e un batterista cantante, Jazz Five presenta un cocktail di musica dal vivo che fa letteralmente girare la testa. La band si ispira ad artisti come Jon Cleary, Dr. John, The Meters e Fats Domino e propone classici riarrangiati di New Orleans accanto a pezzi originali. Jazz Five hanno sinora pubblicato cinque album, lâultimo dei quali, âBelleville Streetâ registrato nel 2014 a New Orleans, in collaborazione, fra gli altri, con John Boutté e Michael Watson.
Danish Mardi Gras blends jazz n'roll and an irresistible funk groove
Jazz Five takes the audience to modern day New Orleans and delivers a unique show with funky second line grooves, blues, shuffle, and jazz`n`roll.
Jazz Five was founded in 1996 and has since played 1000 concerts from British Columbia, to Bornholm, all the way to South Korea in 2013. The band is a non-stop swinging sweat dripping party machine that invites the listener to Mardi Gras and delivers a world class show. With a two-sax frontline, an energetic rhythm section, a blues infused piano and a singing drummer, Jazz Five offers a cocktail of live music that will make your head spin. Their music is inspired by artists such as Jon Cleary, Dr. John, The Meters, and Fats Domino. Alongside original songs, their repertoire also includes rearranged New Orleans classics.
Jazz Five has recorded five albums, the latest of which - âBelleville Streetâ - was recorded in 2014 in New Orleans with John Boutté and Michael Watson, among others.
Mardi Gras... in dänischer Tunke: zwischen Jazz n'Roll und unwiderstehlichem Funk Groove
Jazz Five präsentieren einen mitreissenden Querschnitt der heutigen Musik aus New Orleans, in einem wirkungsvollen Spektakel, in welchem der funkige Groove der Second Lines sich vermischt mit Blues, Shuffle und Jazz n'Roll.
Seit ihrer Gründung im 1996 gaben die Jazz Five mehr als 1000 Konzerte in Europa und den USA, 2013 sogar in Südkorea. Die Band ist eine wahre Party-Maschine, die pausenlos weiterläuft und die Zuhörer in die angeheizte Atmosphäre des Mardi Gras von New Orleans entführt. Mit zwei Saxofonen in der Front Line, einer energischen Rhythmussektion, dem Piano mit einem Touch Blues und einem Sänger/Schlagzeuger mischen die Jazz Five ihren musikalischen Cocktail, und ihre Live-Auftritte verdrehen dem Zuhörer buchstäblich den Kopf. Inspiration holt sich die Band bei Künstlern wie Jon Cleary, Dr. John, The Meters und Fats Domino. Sie präsentieren neu arrangierte Klassiker aus New Orleans genauso wie eigene Kompositionen. Jazz Five haben bis jetzt fünf Alben veröffentlicht. Das letzte, "Belleville Street", entstand 2014 in New Orleans, in Zusammenarbeit mit, unter anderen, John Boutté und Michael Watson.
