Sometimes the simplest lines are the most powerful.
On a quiet summer night, streams of headlights and taillights transform an ordinary motorway into a river of light. The white and red trails naturally guide the eye through the frame, leading it towards the distant horizon.
A long exposure reminds us that even movement can create perfect geometry.
Have a wonderful weekend, my Flickr friends!
This is not a photoshop manipulation. The tracks were painted with a small red flashlight. The exposure was about 2 minutes long. I then illuminated the train with my cell phone.

Fishing Guide and TV Host Johnny Johnson and Me. My Wife bought me a day fishing with Guide and Tournament Pro Johnny Johnson. I watch his TV Show, Fishing with Johnny Johnson every Sunday Morning. I had a great time and a great day fishing at Roosevelt Lake Arizona
More holiday lighting and bokeh fun ... at least when no birds show up in the trees at sunset ;)
I did like how this one lined up there. Hope you Christmas preparations are going well!
The sweeping lines guided me to take this photo. I really liked how the lakefront walkway pulls the eye far into this scene, along with the beachfront running pararalel. The clouds moving overhead also formed a line that swept the same direction, so you really get the feeling of moving from left to right, which is where he city skyline really anchors the photo. The lighthouse was really cool, and looked interesting against the backdrop of the city, as if it was built in with it. It sort of implies how Chicago wouldn't be what it is today without the Great Lakes and her lighthouses, which have kept many sailors safe. The graffiti was also interesting, and if you read closely it says Chicago on the right side. Overall, a pretty cool scenic of Chi!

Ethiopia is a big country, populated by fascinating tribal groups. After a morning spent with the Arbore, we were back in the high, open Hamar territory.
Local guide Danny from Grand Holidays Ethiopia Tours was a delight, and a wealth of knowledge.

Our guide at Bent's Old Fort. This is a "living history" unit, with all the staff in historic costume.

Slightly more obvious guide
NB a lot of your questions can be answered very easily: The less you do from this list, the more likely you are to be removed from the pool. It's really that simple.
Incidentally, as some builder's may have noticed I'm quite precious about the wrench/spear combination. If you look at the pool you can see that it is a defining feature of most photographs which lends a nice cohesion to the photographs. Thus precious ;)
I will no longer be responding to caveracers. They've had their day and it is not today.
. . . As the sun sets over Lake Michigan, the automated light at Little Sable Point comes to life! Built in 1874 after numerous wrecks on the big lake, it stands alone and is managed by a public group which allows tours in the summer months.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
As we navigate through Cienfuegos Bay in a small boat, our helmsman maintains a steady course towards our lunch appointment.
These images bring with them a very touching and memorable story. In the Hmong village of Hau Thao, near Sapa, Vietnam, I met this beautiful woman and her children in their home. Her story was translated to my friend Peggy and me by our Hmong guide, Lan. The woman has lived in this village all her life; she and her family exist mostly on what they have in their yard or field: water buffalo, pigs, chickens, dogs, and their garden. The little girl is her daughter, the boy is her grandson. The woman's daughter died in childbirth. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she spoke of her daughter and showed us pictures of her on the wall. The little boy's father has not been seen since he left to join the military. I was deeply moved by this woman and felt so grateful that she had shared her story and home with us. Such are the amazing women of the Hmong villages.
At the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed two new Supersonic bombers, the Backfire and the Blackjack, all of them with range to attack the Southwest of Europe.
At that time, Portugal operated the Vought A-7P Corsair II, an old subsonic strike bomber. Against the new bombers, the Corsair was a complete anachronism.
Portugal received 20 brand new F-16s A Block 15 with all the latest advances to allow it to be modernized as soon as possible.
The Portuguese F-16s arrived in 1994 and operate from the Airbase of Monte Real in the centre of Portugal, which allows them to be in any part of the country in a few minutes.
The Portuguese people are very proud of their F-16s.
All the F-16s were modernized with an MLU (Mid Life Upgrade) to extend their capacities, including JDAMs, laser guided bombs and AMRAAMs. 25 extra planes were later received for a total of 45.
With the reduction of threats in 2010, the Portuguese Armed Forces decided to reduce the quantity of weapons and maintain a small group of very well trained and capable systems. Therefore, 12 will be sold to the Romanian Air Force and the remaining 30 will be upgraded again.
For many years, the F-16s patrolled the peaceful skies of Portugal. Then in end of 2014, two Russian bombers decided to do some "tourism" to the south of Portugal, which led to two F-16s taking off to give them a nice “warm welcome”. Two days later, two new bombers made another attempt to see the sun and beaches of Algarve… but the F-16s were again there to receive them.
At the same time, two other Portuguese F-16s flying over Estonia forced a Backfire and a Su-34 to return to Russia.
About the MOC:
The plane was built for an exhibition that I did some days ago in the Portuguese Air Force Main Facility in the town where I live.
Hope you guys like it!

One of the many 'official guides' or 'handbooks' issued under the auspices of almost every UK local authority duringt he Twentieth Century and that included details of local administration, services, amenities and industries for both residents, visitors and prospective residents and investors. It is fair to say that this splendidly honest cover, showing the two main industries of the Yorkshire UDC of Rawmarsh, was not particularly aimed at holidaymakers!
The town, adjacent to the River Don, and situated close to Rotherham, into which borough it was amalgamated in the 1974 local government reorganisation, and was unashamedly built on coal, steel and chemicals. The major employer was the large Park Gate Iron & Steel Company, whose many products included colliery roof supports - important to the other major extractive industry. The works would continue to expand during the mid-20th Century with the development of the adjacent Aldwarke site. Another major steel company was that of Wm. Oxley of the Park Gate Steel Works.
The guide includes some photos of the town that show the trolleybus overhead of the rather unusual local undertaking the Mexborough & Swinton Traction Company (they had abandoned the word Tramways in the title when they converted the system in c1927) and the wholly single deck fleet continued in operation until 1961 when motor buses were substituted. It was the first and last private company to operate trolleybuses in the UK.
The cover is remarkably bold - the iron & steel works in the background, the colliery and colliers in the forground and even the telephone wires and gas lamps are silhouetted!

A picture of a young MUhimba (cousins of the Himbas, famous in Namibia) i took in south Angola; she was dancing and playing with her long dreadlocks. I asked her what she used to make her dreadlocks, she told me she took the hair of her whole family!
