Two of the amazing Thunderbirds during a maneuver at Thunder Over Michigan. The pilots take it to the extreme. High speed, extremely close to each other, mind-blowing.
This is a monument on the downtown riverfront where I live,
Evansville, IN USA...it's a very lovely peaceful place for a stroll etc. A week ago today...things started getting NOT so peaceful at flickr...so thought I'd post this pic...no other description necessary yes?
The heavy snowfall in Scanton, Pa. at Bridge 60 tower at dawn looks good toward a fun day on the mountain with "four bigs" with a grain train - January 14, 2021.
The iconic sign from the Stardust Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The casino is gone, but the sign now lives at the Neon Museum in Las Vegas.
Four concrete columns stand in a square lit by a low sun.
I shot this photo to capture the contrast between the light and the shade on these columns. I liked the way the patterns on their sides creates an organic look to otherwise regular shapes.
Four young novices walk through the causeway with their begging bowls.
Pictures from a visit to Shwezigon Pagoda, Bagan.
Entry to the pagoda compound from the south entrance is through a covered causeway.

Another in my album series 'Traditional English Country Pubs', The Four Points Inn dates from the 17th century and is one of two splendid such buildings in the very small village of Aldworth, West Berkshire. The village's other pub, The Bell Inn, was built in the 15th century or even earlier. Both pubs are very friendly and definitely worth a visit.
day twenty-four
As I was taking these outside I could hear someone playing a guitar, and I thought about how perfect that was along with the rain.
I finally graduate tomorrow!

Drawing scanned and uploaded to flickr. Shadow added in Photoshop.
Drawn with a ballpoint. It's me actually, but while I've drawn it never seem to me that I draw myself, as if drawing an unknown person.
All four can be seen (or notice). My version of Either is here: The Fifth Element.
Macromondays theme: "Four Elements". The tea light is 1 1/2" diam.

...and the four fox cubs are still around the den and are clearly quite healthy. The badger 'aggressor' is the sow. Never argue with a hungry badger!
Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.
Four Peaks Wilderness in Arizona's Tonto National Forest is rugged desert-to-alpine magic rising dramatically from the Sonoran landscape.
This 60,740-acre wilderness (designated in 1984) centers on the iconic Four Peaks massif in the Mazatzal Mountains—visible for miles across the Phoenix metro area, about 40 miles east-northeast of the city. The northernmost summit, Brown's Peak (7,657 ft), is the highest point in Maricopa County and offers epic 360° views that can stretch to Humphreys Peak near Flagstaff on clear days.
Elevations soar from ~1,900 ft near Apache Lake to over 7,600 ft, transitioning from saguaro-studded desert grasslands through manzanita thickets, pinyon-juniper, and pockets of ponderosa pine and aspen.
Home to one of Arizona's densest black bear populations, plus ringtails, coyotes, mountain lions, and diverse birdlife, it's a true backcountry haven. The Arizona Trail's challenging Passage 20 slices through here with steep ridges, panoramic overlooks of Roosevelt Lake, Apache Lake, and the Superstition Wilderness—plus wildflowers, cacti, and seasonal streams. Popular hikes include the strenuous Brown's Trail (scrambling to the summit with exposure and scree) and the Four Peaks Trail, but many paths are rustic and lightly used.
Access often requires high-clearance 4x4 (like FR 143/648 from SR 87—the Beeline Highway) to trailheads like Lone Pine Saddle—rough, rutted, and adventurous! Year-round visits possible, but spring for blooms, fall for milder temps, and winter for rare snow-capped views. No permits needed for day use, but follow Leave No Trace—group size limits apply (15 people/15 stock max).
Pro tip: Check road/trail conditions with the Mesa Ranger District (fire closures happen), bring plenty of water (purify sources), and go early to beat heat and crowds—this spot feels worlds away from the valley yet so close to home for Arizonans!
A few captures of our extremely skittish White Pelicans! I also know that some of you want to see more of the background in the scenes and will work in a bit of the bayou in this capture with some of the reeds and trees in the background!! This old tree trunk has become lodged in a shallow area at the mouth of Horsepen and it's a prime gathering place for these skittish characters! I think they know I'm trying to sneak up on them!
