Due to a cross-tie fire a couple miles ahead, a westbound NS freight train is halted just west of the Montgomery, VA, tunnel as an eastbound coal train breaks out into the afternoon sunshine with the Interstate heritage unit on the point on April 1, 2017.
The first threesome in a series of assemblages I want to make, all revolving around the idea of "fool's gold". The project started out quite differently, but then Skills Hak gave me an utterly amazing present - the dark avatar on these images - which changed everything!
The page curls on the sea images have been created with a photoshop plugin called AV page curl which you can buy from here: www.avbros.com/english/pagecurlpro/index.html. Does all kinds of wonderful things, not just page curls. The twisted frame has been made with it as well.
The poses are by Frigg Ragu.
I have also started putting together the tumblr site for the tale: foolzgold.tumblr.com/. Long ways to go, of course, but a start anyway.
A very striking and shiny tortoise beetle (10mm diam., Aspidimorpha aff. sanctaecrucis, Cassidinae, Chrysomelidae, Coleoptera) from miombo forests near Lupemba (DR Congo, Katanga, 1 February 2018)
Live specimen. Fieldstack based on 51 images (fast method, Zerene Stacker, Dmap & Pmax, slightly cropped). Sony A6500, FE 2.8/90 Macro G OSS; ISO-200, f/3.2, 1/320s, -0.3step, diffused natural light.
I made an adjustment in regards to caffeine. Folgers decaf was about the only kind the stores offered in this area.
Nasty stuff! So I complained to my son and a package containing two kinds of decaf showed up from my son's girlfriend.
What a wonderful surprise!
I took this about a month ago, before winter really set in.
There's something eerie about this field, I'm just not sure what it is.
Every time I shoot here, I feel anxious and leave as soon as possible, for no particular reason.
I'll write more later?
We'll see. I'm way too exhausted to think of anything right now.
As I drove along the wetlands in Alviso, I saw this off to the side and thought to my self "That's kind of a strange looking duck".
So I whipped my Jeep off the road and parked, loaded my long lens, got out and started sneaking up on him, shooting as I went along, hoping to get a good shot, but not wanting to scare him off.
I finally realized that he wasn't moving. DOH! Decoy got me.
This past Saturday I left Miami in the morning and started a mini-road trip to Chicago for my move with my new airline I'll be working for. I had a few stops planned along the way with a stops in Nashville & Louisville to see some friends, what I didn't expect was this. I had no buffing planned except for the Lucas Oil Railroad - that will come soon.
Saturday I got to Nashville late, woke up around 9am Sunday, and checked my phone and found a text from a friend saying CSX 4568 is heading to Nashville on I14105, nothing more, so I did some quick research of an area I had no idea about and determined it was the Mainline Sub and I did some asking to some friends back home with good source technology and was able to determine a location.
I scrambled to leave the hotel and made my way to Franklin, KY, while I was hoping to get a shot with the intown Feed Elevator, I140 was coming north so the sun turned before I could, so I settle for a little side road just on the outskirts of town and this was the result after waiting about 2 hours of sitting around and watching I140 come through.
Seen is CSX I14105 running through Franklin, KY with CSXT 4568 (OLS) about to knock down the 134.9 Intermediate Signal after rolling through town.
To quote my good friend Tolga "you have some fucking good luck buffing" my reply “I just take pictures”.

This stunning nautical tattoo from THIS IS WRONG is available NOW @ ROMP.
And, I don't usually add song links, but this tattoo gives me the chance to add a song from a band I grew up listening too ♥
Awa Odori, also known as ‘the dance of fools’, comes from Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. “Awa” is the name of the feudal province which later became Tokushima and 'Odori' mean dance.
According to tradition, Awa Odori originated in the 16th century after drunken revellers took to dancing in the streets of Tokushima in celebration of the completion of Tokushima Castle.
While there is no firm evidence to support this, the exuberant, often frenzied nature of the dance is in keeping with the story’s theme of drunken revelry. Traditional lyrics to the music used for Awa Odori translate to “The dancers are fools and the watchers are fools; if both are fools, you may as well dance”.
Although its home is obviously Tokushima (its Awa Odori is one of the biggest street dance festivals in the world, attracting around 1.5m spectators annually), other major Awa Odori include those held in Koenji in Tokyo (which now almost rivals that in Tokushima for size) and in Minami-Koshigya in Saitama prefecture, photographed here.
Although much smaller than its cousins in Tokushima and Koenji, it still attracts around 800,000 spectators...
Don't waste anything of the apple ;-)

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
This is the second of these I've seen, and both times I thought it was another species entirely, because that species is what I expect to find next to my door. The first time I didn't know about these at all to expect them. My only excuse this time was that the other time was two years ago.
This is a male to go with the female I just posted. Oddly, I never see females in my yard, but I found both males right by my door. You will notice he doesn't have the characteristic "arrowhead" marking that she does, but he does have an unusual spur on his second pair of legs. I wish I could tell you what that's for, but I wasn't able to find any information about it. Jciv and I decided last time that it must be for holding onto a female, since the females don't have them.

Pyrite - reflected
It's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. Borrowed from my 13yo sons collection

As I reached this former pub I encountered a very disgruntled couple who had stopped specifically for lunch only to find that the pub had ceased trading a long time ago and was now just teasing would-be customers with its sign
