Tucked away in a 'leanto' attached to an old garage, that is leaning too, is this '55 Chevy. Spotted while I was driving down a lane in View Royal, a town near Victoria BC Canada.
Uh, poor attempt at camouflage.
Couldn't resist, hehe.
The brass ring is a grommet in the canvas covering of my trailer.

Still attached to the tree. I fought wind and sun glare to get this shot, trying to keep the copy paper background from flapping while the cherries were doing their own quintet choreography.
There are several chokecherry trees around the Tunxis campus entrance and this time of year, they're choked with cherries, as seen in my photo Cherry Red.
Found in only a few areas in a few southwestern states, found mainly in Mexico (making it the southern most of the sparrows)

A scene from my forthcoming film, Level Five: "Matt Cooper is a tough, uncompromising cop who only works face down, on Tuesdays and who trusts no-one, which is why he insists on having an entire car park floor to himself. He has just twenty four hours to track down a terror suspect using only his powers of detection of vibrations through concrete." - "Five stars" - Time Out. "Gripping stuff" - The Times. "Must see." - Metro. "Unremittingly terrible. I've had more fun watching orphans burn" - Norwich Evening News.
Happy Face Down Tuesday everyone!
A thrill of a lifer for me! I never thought I would actually see this sparrow but we were extremely fortunate that the location for this bird was easily accessed.
Some kind of loading bay (presumably) in the Five Sisters complex in Aarhus.
For a photo story from Jutland (and Copenhagen):
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British naval fighter-bomber developed in the late 1940s, known for its exceptional speed and handling as one of the fastest piston-engine aircraft ever built. It featured a massive Bristol Centaurus 18-cylinder radial engine, producing around 2,500 horsepower, requiring a five-blade Rotol propeller to efficiently convert power into thrust without excessive diameter or supersonic tip speeds. This propeller design allowed the Sea Fury to achieve excellent acceleration, climb performance, and short takeoff distances, which were crucial for carrier operations. The combination of its powerful engine, advanced aerodynamics, and five-blade propeller made the Sea Fury a formidable aircraft, famously used during the Korean War, where it even managed to shoot down a MiG-15 jet.
Exactly five years ago today, I returned from one of the most powerful and moving retreats I had ever attended. The graces given to me from this experience were immense and I couldn't help but feel such joy and elation as I returned from the retreat center in Michigan to my (then new) home in NW Ohio.
With little daylight left on a Sunday afternoon, I decided to head out trackside along the CSX Pemberville Sub to see what I could find. I found my way to this signal bridge just north of the line's namesake, where I got two southbounds in the evening light, the second one being this train, R394: manifest traffic from Detroit, MI to Cumberland, MD.
So much of this photo is gone: the signal, the train symbol; even the chances at seeing a lashup like this. While I don't know what prompted me to go out trackside this evening after such a powerful retreat experience, I'm thankful I did.
Five Hole Arch, aka Colonnade Arch, is just left of center, with three windows or holes visible from this perspective. Two other holes open upwards, lighting the alcove.
A storm threatens from the northwest, but it slid to the northeast, barely skirting this area.

Solanum mammosum is commonly known as nipplefruit, titty fruit, cow's udder, or, ambiguously, "Apple of Sodom". It is an annual or tender perennial plant in the Solanaceae family, part of the Solanum or nightshade genus, and a relative of the tomato and potato. This poisonous fruit is native to South America, but has been naturalized in the Greater Antilles, Central America and Caribbean. In Chinese culture it is known as five fingered eggplant. In Japan it is known as Fox Face. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_mammosum
The plant is commonly used for festival floral arrangements especially for celebrating Chinese New Year. It has been considered as symbol of wealth due to the golden color and long lasting shape, and symbol of ‘five generations living together’, which to many Chinese, is symbol of traditional family value, happiness and prosperity .
Today happens is Chinese New Year, so I have one in my living room on my orange color table! In the first day of Chinese New Year, I Wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Wealthy New Year !!
It's been a while since I posted a non-wildlife image, so I thought I'd do so today.
This is an image that I captured last summer in Bali, Indonesia of five Balinese dancers. It was a very challenging image to create ranging from the light, to the movement of the dancers, to the work required in post-processing.. It's a good example of the concept of repetition being used.
I shot this on my 70-200mm 2.8 lens at F 7.1, 1/200, and ISO 8000 and let post-processing take care of the rest. It's an image that I really like and will likely print at some point.
Mixing in a variety of subject matter and genres from time to time keeps photography both interesting and challenging.
