So many versions of this bridge so always looking for something new. With my wide angle lens it made for an interesting perspective.
Hockeytown is, the truth be told, a football town. The fortunes, or lack of good fortune, of our local heroes actually prove the point. You need to stay with me on this one.
On any given weekend in the fall in Michigan you will find over 100,000 fans at the Big House cheering on RichRod and the, ahem 3-9, Wolverines. At the same time 70,000 plus fans are up in East Lansing for an autumn Sparty party. Most of these folks come from the Detroit area. Then on Sunday, almost 70,000 fans will fill Ford Field in a strange and desperate hope that the fellas will pull off a rare win.
In my 50 years of living in this city I have cheered on a couple World Series champs, 3 NBA champs, 4 Stanley Cups and several college championships in football, basketball and hockey. Yet the Lions have won a total of 1 playoff games in my lifetime. One! That is Cub's like bad.
It is one thing to sell out for a winning team, quite another to fill the house for team with no realistic chance of winning. Back in the day the Pistons and Wings could not give away tickets. In the 70's we referred to the era down at the Old Red Barn as Darkness with Harkness. Detroit was not Hockeytown back then. If the Lions ever pull off a miracle and win a Superbowl, this town will go Bubba Helms nuts.
After catching a long-bomb pass this wide receiver lost his shoe while pivoting for the run into a touchdown. He never broke his stride.

Thanks to my husband and son for the idea and title for my macro challenge this week!
I am putting my photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
On a visit to Elburg. We had a no rain but it was rather gloomy sort of day. Pity as yesterday was sunny
There is evidence of a Neolithic settlement at Elburg consisting of stone tools and pottery shards. From Roman times there are names and shards of earthenware which suggest that there was an army camp at the site of Elburg. The earliest extant written record of Elburg is from 796 AD.
Between 1392 and 1396 Elburg was rebuilt with a moat and a city wall, together with a gridiron street plan. This rapid rebuilding was expensive, indicating that Elburg was reasonably affluent in medieval times. Several records of Elburg date back to the 14th century. Elburg was granted town status probably by Count Otto II In the 13th century. There is a record that Elburg got its fishing right granted in 1313. In 1367 the city was recorded as a member of the Hanseatic League. At the end of the 16th century new moats and higher ramparts were built because of the improved war-techniques.

Looking back at my images over time, I noticed that I am very conservative when it comes to post-processing. I rarely oversaturate my colors, and even my HDR's are created with the intent of recreating the scene. I processed this shot with my usual workflow first, and you know what? It was boring!! Too much symmetry, not enough going on. So I did something I had vowed never to do, and that's try out the "dramatic" HDR presets in Nik HDR Efex Pro. After a few tweaks on top of the preset, the result feels like an artsy Monday Night Football preshow graphic with the two helmets squaring off and ready to collide. Is it realistic? No way! But sometimes following the rules all the time can be boring!
Leaving everything on the field.

The driver leans out of his cab window to see that all is not well with 56067 as it heads North through Crewe Station on April 2 1986 with an MGR train!

Former coal hauler 56113 now serves a new king. 6E07 1450 Washwood Heath to Boston Docks conveys empty covered wagons for another load of imported steel. The train rumbles over the flood arches of the Trent viaduct at Sawley, near Sheet Stores Junction. What future for Ratcliffe power station in the background?
Thanks to kurt55007 for bringing this viewpoint to my attention.
