There's always one!
That person who unclips his seatbelt before the plane actually lands, who jumps the red light, who cruises as far down the motorway lane that is going to merge and expects the patiently queuing motorist to let them in, yes you know who you are!
We live in such an impatient world but I have to hand it to this girl, she has taken it to the next level. I bet those trainers were smoking when she hit the platform!
One of the iconic buildings in Canary Wharf complete with the synchronised clocks at ground level. One Canada Square to be exact I believe.
From the Flickr London Meet-up event on the 7th April 2018 organised by Andy Rouse {with essential help & assistance from Kathy in the backroom no doubt}. Brilliant day well done.

Jake and Gunther "meet up" on-line. They both live on the water, on opposite ends of the continent. Lucky 3110, Ingrid, first posted her photo of Gunther (on the right), which spurred me to post my photo of Jake (on the left), lingering in my storage. I just learned how to make diptychs, and this seemed like a natural. Ingrid had the same thought.
Jake is on the left, saying, "Hi, Gunther. The light of your stardom is reaching all the way over here and shining in my face. Thanks." Gunther is saying, (well, you have to ask Ingrid/Lucky3110), maybe: "Hi Jake, Aren't we grand!" Standard poodles of the world, unite.
Inspired by the Dipthych collaboration challenge for 52.5 of 2010 group. Ingrid is not in the group, but maybe this will count as okay.

Such fun being buddies

Hey guys!
I spent this weekend in Munich, together with Laura, Moritz, Andrea, Bassam and Gina! Even though it was reallyreallyreally cold we had a great time, I always love getting to know other photographers.
Laura is truly beautiful inside and out and it makes me so happy I could finally meet and photograph her :)
Ohhh and this is my 100th photo on Flickr! During those 100 photos I have learned so much about photography, about life, about myself. Since last summer photography has become such an important part of me life and I'm really grateful for that :)
Somewhere in Manchester
Another from the Brad and Barb annual pilgrimage to the UK. This building has only been completed in the last 12 months. I rather like abstract architecture but it did take some time to find my eye. Love the colours… I didn’t realise the significance of the colour choices until someone pointed it out – think The Haçienda!
Cambridge Street, Manchester
Plenty of info online but I’ve lifted a few key paragraphs courtesy of Dani Cole’s The Mill…
Originally built on the bank of the River Medlock in 1801, it was soon dwarfed by Birley’s Cotton Mill and Marsland’s Cotton Mill – two enormous mills that later became known as Chorlton Mills. In the early nineteenth century, this stretch of Chorlton-on-Medlock was a sight to behold: one of the engine rooms of the city’s industry, thronging with workers, vehicles and mess. In the 1830s, more than 2,000 people worked at Birley’s complex alone, suggesting it was the largest mill in Manchester. Three of the mills on Cambridge Street were connected by tram tunnels to allow them to move material between buildings unimpeded by the crowds outside.
The building now call Hotspur Press was the largest structure in the Medlock Mills complex, which was owned by a cotton baron called John Fairweather, and then by a series of his heirs in the following decades.
According to a map published in 1888, the building had by this point ended the first phase of its life making cotton, and was now a printing works, owned by the Percy Brothers Ltd. A brass sign bearing that company name is still in place next to one of the building’s doors.
It has been suggested that the name ‘Hotspur Press’ has connections with the popular boys’ comic the Hotspur, which ran from 1933 to 1959 and Henry Percy (‘Harry Hotspur’), the medieval knight who was the son of the 1st Earl of Northumberland during the Hundred Years’ War. Sadly, the former of these is not true, and the latter remains conjecture.
Wasn’t sure this place was still standing but apparently it’s been bought and is going to be redeveloped into even more trendy apartments.
And more to the point is why have I not spotted this view point before...... A skywards view in More London from the Flickr meet-up day. {A "Y" in the sky rather than an XYZ.} Thanks to London Lass for the pointer !!
Well I had to take a picture of this mural, seen on Gibb Street, Digbeth, Birmingham; I’m sure it was painted just for me…..
This is just a fraction of the overall mural, I have no idea who the artist is therefore I can’t give him/her a credit for a great piece of work.
PS. Of course I had to show this before one of the other Togs from our Flickr meet up in Birmingham showed it… LOL
PPS. Just found out the artist is 'Dan Kitchener' from Essex and he has my greatest respect; he is my new hero after Horatio Nelson …. lol
Here is a quote from an interview he has given;
Interviewer : I’ve notice that you paint a lot of city scenes “under rain” why is that ?
I am from the UK, it rains a lot! My fascination with light comes in here, lighting at night has a very different quality, dreamlike, sometimes quite lonely and ghostly… rain accentuates this, exaggerates the light and the reflections, and can create some surprising and unusual effects on wet roads etc, I am always surpassed by what I see in a rainy night scene…in Tokyo last February, I literally lay in a puddle on the road at night to get some amazing shots, totally worth all the confused looks at me and being soaked…
Love it......!
Austin flickr meeting--Austin, Texas; August 19, 2007
a slightly different view of flickr member miss wednesday181
i hate high hights and the idea of flying and such but i would totally do this ... think of the shots i could get!
In contrast this was looking west and using an iPhone 7+ with the lens against the glass, and using an app called ProCamera 8 which has an HDR feature built in that includes an in iPhone conversion to black and white. Done a pretty good job considering the size of the lens with nice detail, then processed in LightRoom.
Somewhere in Manchester
The climax to the Brad and Barb annual pilgrimage to the UK Lakes and Dales grand tour terminating in Manchester. Many had joined along the way but only the hardy and dedicated saw it through to the end.
As is predictable and normal with any British Bank Holiday weekend, things didn’t get off to a good start. The plan was for the advance scouting party of Mark, Geoff, Shelly, Mike and myself to shoot at Crosby Beach and the Antony Gormley statues – Another Place (Friday night). The weather was lousy and the traffic even worse for those traveling to meet up. Shelly had made it to basecamp (The Rouse House) with Mark and Geoff crawling up the M6. Mike had already made it to Crosby when M&G arrived at basecamp and thoughts of aborting the mission did come to mind, but the honour of the STS (Who Dares Shoots) was at stake and no man shall be left behind enemy lines so we set off.
More of the Crosby shoot in a later posting…
If I’ve learnt anything from shooting with other togs and members of the STS when the conditions are far from perfect is this… take the bloody camera out of the bag and shoot something, which leads me to my first upload. We pre-booked the car park for the early bird rate providing we entered before 8:00am. Conditions carried over from the night before with flat grey skies and light, but constant drizzle… you know the stuff that wets you through!
Needless to say, I hadn’t taken my camera out of the comfort of its nice warm snuggly waterproof slingshot bag. We hadn’t gone more than 50 yards from the car park when I sensed we were a man down so turned around to find Mark way back merrily shooting away like he was using an AK-47 assault rifle.
Bugger me I thought… what’s he spotted already that I’ve missed so out came the camera and the first shot was fired off! This is actually the second image as I didn’t check my setting and the first was a little fuzzy (amateur I hear you all cry!) And so, the benchmark was set for an enjoyable day’s shooting with friends and the weather can go do one!!!
from the first-ever Rock River Valley Flickr Group Meetup, Stronghold Castle, Oregon, Illinois
Oct/2007
[49 of 52]
I'm just back home from the incredible Austria Flickr meet-up. It has been a wonderful week within the most perfect surroundings and with so many lovely people. I don't know how to manage to wake up tomorrow and to realize that there aren't 19 photography-addicted people around to have breakfast with and then start a daily adventure through the mountains. I can't remember the last time I was so productive and in love with photography. We have seen so many incredible places during that week and I had the pleasure to meet truly wonderful people.
There are so many photos to come but this photo sums up perfectly how calm and beautiful the nature was and how free I felt.

Description: Right, this is the last Vertorama from my recent sunset photo-shoot at the dune pools near Witsand Beach that I'll be processing and posting for now. I've already uploaded eight Vertoramas from that photoshoot... this photo-shoot was probably the most photographically productive two hours that I've ever had!

Taken during the Liverpool Meet Up Group trip to West Kirby, a fabulous turnout and such a lovely group of people, if you couldn't make it you missed a great day
Getting down in the weeds now, children playing had been running up and down this stream with the bonus of making the sides shiny and wet. Just had to wait till they were out of shot playing pooh sticks !!
From the Flickr meet-up day in London 8th April 2017.
I originally posted a vertical and horizontal version of this shot... vertical wins and horizontal had to go!
Window washers in Chicago make up to 17.65 an hour union wages.
I’m always amazed to see them dangling from buildings.
One South Wacker is a 550 ft (168 m) tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It was constructed from 1979 to 1982 and has 40 floors. Murphy/Jahn, Inc. Architects designed the building, which is tied for the 72nd tallest building in Chicago. The tower is featured in the music video for the Daft Punk song Burnin'.

Met up with Cris the other day. She was out here on biz from Michigan. It was great meeting you Cris, so much fun shooting and doing all those jump shots. ;)
Taken as a part of Helsinki Photography Walk. Join us if you happen to live in Helsinki Region or are just visiting :)
Slightly confusing view of the building with the interesting external twisted blinds, with a reflection of the same building behind. A coat stand adds to the mystery.
Penultimate location before walking to the Walkie-Talkie building a couple of streets back from this one at Monument.
Part of the Flickr London Meet -up 7th April 2018.
Met up with Jodi and Lou at the New York Botanical Gardens today for the Kiku exhibit. What fun! This Lotus pool was a good opportunity for me to attempt an Anti-Social Butterfly reflection homage.
