Ukraine’s priorities include joining NATO, implementing the decisions of the Alliance's Washington Summit, and jointly intercepting Russian missiles and drones. This was the focus of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s discussion with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during their meeting in Kyiv.
This is Mark Rutte’s first foreign visit as the leader of the North Atlantic Alliance. President Zelenskyy noted that this visit immediately clearly outlines the current priorities, indicating where the defense of shared Euro-Atlantic values is taking place right now.
“Our key goal is Ukraine’s full NATO membership. Ukraine can become the thirty-third member of NATO. Ukrainians deserve this,” said the President.
During the meeting, the parties thoroughly discussed the prospects for cooperation, the Victory Plan and the feasibility of Ukraine's approach to a just end to the war, the situation on the battlefield, and the needs of our units, including weapons and brigade staffing.
“Ukraine needs to strengthen its positions on the frontline so that we can increase pressure on Russia for the sake of fair, real diplomacy. That is why we need a sufficient quantity and quality of weapons, including long-range weapons, the provision of which, in my opinion, is being delayed by our partners,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
A separate focus of the discussion was Ukraine’s air defense needs. It is crucial for Ukraine that all air defense agreements, including those reached at the NATO Summit in Washington this July, are implemented before winter begins. Additionally, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mark Rutte discussed additional cooperation with neighboring countries, drawing on examples from the Middle East.
“Jointly intercepting Iranian missiles is no different from jointly intercepting Russian missiles, and especially "Shaheds," which link the Russian and Iranian regimes. What we need in our region is more determination from our partners to put an end to Russian terror,” the President emphasized.
Mark Rutte noted that, as NATO Secretary General, he will do everything possible to increase support for Ukraine.
“Your security matters for ours. Your fight for freedom reflects our core principles and values,” he said.
According to the NATO Secretary General, member states of the Alliance plan to boost their own defense capabilities and strengthen Ukraine’s defense industry.
“Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before. And we will continue on this path until you become a member of our Alliance. I very much look forward to that day,” said Mark Rutte.
Hanks & Spears Building, 401 Main Street, Genoa, Colorado. The Hanks and Spears building was constructed in 1922 and served for years as the local International Harvester implement dealer. It later became a hardware store, grocery store, and, most recently, a very unique residence. The building is currently being restored by local residents. Note the ghost sign for the Mile High General Store.

Top left:
Yashica Mat 124G. One of my roommate's coworkers was selling it on Craigslist. Just had to have it.
Duo, Mk. 1. The first Duo I made, the real OG. Currently inoperative, I stole the lens for my copy of the production version, and replaced it with a broken lens. This one has a Fresnel screen in the viewfinder, which is a nice feature I never implemented in the future versions (too complicated, pricey).
Duo, Production Version. I used this one to make the instruction manual. Has a chrome 105mm f/3.5, which has some issues with the slow speeds.
Duo, Mk. 2. The second Duo I made, with updated parts, but without the nice creature comforts, like the Tyvek VF shade, etc.

Lower Left:
A bunch of film backs, RH8 and RH12 (6x9 and 6x6, respectively).
A 110-size Fisheye from Lomography. Never got a chance to use it.
A Horseman 105mm f/4.5 Super, which will cover 4x5. Waiting for a future home.
Olympus 35RC. I asked my dad to bid on this one (circa 2008), because I didn't have a Paypal account yet. He won the auction, and took the camera for himself! But he didn't end up using it much, and I stole it.
Pentax ME Super (behind the Olympus). Bought it on a whim off eBay for really cheap. I got what I paid for. The manual mode didn't work, focusing screen is a mess, and it's kind of banged up. But I put several rolls through it, and it worked like a charm.
Canon P. A recent acquisition, as I try to move into the rangefinder game a little more. The viewfinder flares a LOT, which apparently is common for this type. Still beautiful, though.
Olympus Stylus P&S (behind the Canon). A cheap and cheerful fully-auto point and shoot I got from Goodwill for $5. Took it on a floating trip when I still lived in Portland. It performed surprisingly well, and didn't die to the water.

Top Right:
Field 23 ACME. The second 6x9 field camera I made, back in 2010. Worked great! Then I cannibalized the lens for a future project, as well as the focusing screen. Would work again with a little love.
Pentax 67. The beast. I bought this back in 2010ish. It had a sticky shutter that wouldn't expose the film at high speeds and cold temperatures. Sent it for a CLA and it works fantastically. I have the 105/2.5, which is fantastic, and the 55/3.5, which is so-so.
Laika Superwide. A 3D printed superwide camera I made in 2013. I bought the lens for cheap off of Yahoo Auctions JP. It performs well, besides a few light leaks. But I'm not much of a superwide kind of guy.

Lower Right:
Assorted lenses. A Zeiss Planar 85/1.4 converted using a Leitax kit, and a Nikon 135/2 that I converted myself using a little handiwork. Both work pretty darned well, but I don't find myself using really long FL's anymore.
Minolta SRT-201. My dad bought this for my sister, when she took photography classes in undergrad. He passed it to me when I broke up with an ex, starting my journey into photography. Fantastic little camera, all manual functions and built like a brick.
Instax Mini 7s. This is the fiancee's. Cute little thing.
Pinstax 66. Foldable pinhole 6x6 camera that I designed.
Lux. An all-homemade, open source 6x6 camera. Works surprisingly well, with a one element lens! Powered by Arduino.
This machine is not on display, but is still sitting on what was once the old Fresno Ranch. I can't figure out what it did.
The implementation of the final phase of the Bee Network has resulted in the end of the Magicbus operations after many years. A variety of older double deckers were utilised on these routes which ran along the busy student corridors. Here Stagecoach Manchester Dennis Trident / Alexander 17634 - W634 RND is pictured operating Part Route 142 to Withington with an East Lancs bodied sister behind.

Another of my old wanderings took me to the back roads southwest of Longmont. This rake appears to be more lawn art than farm implement. A rambling rake no more! ...And it is not used up yet! It was not made of Chinese plastic.
Some of my captures need a load of editing, not so much here, as I am deluged with retouching in my directories. I expect to post more as I get past my immersion in most of the mass of current projects like starting on the quasi-logical Win-10 that needs another upgrade and a heap of cleanup afterward.
The Ag Museum was open to get to the McIntosh Lake Loop Trail. Hmm, I just might try it on the remaining day. I can't simply just hang around the Museum, I am already crammed with MAC snaps. I have some neighbors who do nothing more than hang around, I have places to go. Perhaps a small degree of exercise? I can only stand sitting behind the monitor for a small while.
Lighted Farm Implement Parade, Sunnyside, Washington. I am pleasantly surprised how sharp these night photos are considering these shots are hand held and mostly shot at 1/30 and slower shutter speed. IMG_1060
A Springfield Model 1903 and it’s replacement, the M1 Garand rifle. The receiver of this Springfield rifle was forged in 1933 and that of the Garand in 1940. The M1911A1 pistol is a modern production.

Can any one tell me what this is....I drive by it every day, and this morning stopped to take the shot in the golden light.
The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it was the central implement for the night-time bombing campaigns that followed. It became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling. The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known, thus became one of the more famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 long tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties." The Lancaster, an evolution of the troublesome Avro Manchester, was designed by Roy Chadwick and was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins, or, in one version, Bristol Hercules engines.
A long, unobstructed bomb bay meant that the Lancaster could take the largest bombs used by the RAF, including the 4,000 lb (1,800 kg), 8,000 lb (3,600 kg), and 12,000 lb (5,400 kg) blockbusters, loads often supplemented with smaller bombs or incendiaries. The versatility of the Lancaster was such that it was chosen to equip 617 Squadron and was modified to carry the Upkeep "Bouncing bomb" designed by Barnes Wallis for Operation Chastise, the attack on Germany Ruhr Valley dams. Although the Lancaster was primarily a night bomber, it excelled in many other roles, including daylight precision bombing: in the latter role some Lancasters were adapted to carry the 12,000 lb (5,400 kg) Tallboy and then the 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) Grand Slam earthquake bombs (also designed by Wallis).
In 1943, a Lancaster was converted to become an engine test bed for the Metropolitan-Vickers F.2 turbojet. Lancasters were later used to test other engines, including the Armstrong Siddeley Mamba and Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops, and the Avro Canada Orenda and STAL Dovern turbojets. Postwar, the Lancaster was supplanted as the RAF's main strategic bomber by the Avro Lincoln, a larger version of the Lancaster. The Lancaster took on the role of long range anti-submarine patrol aircraft (later supplanted by the Avro Shackleton) and air-sea rescue. It was also used for photo-reconnaissance and aerial mapping, as a flying tanker for aerial refuelling and as the Avro Lancastrian, a long-range, high-speed, transatlantic, passenger and postal delivery airliner. In March 1946, a Lancastrian of BSAA flew the first scheduled flight from the new London Heathrow Airport.
Dice are implements used for generating random numbers in a variety of social and gambling games. Known since antiquity, dice have been called the oldest gaming instruments. They are typically cube-shaped and marked with one to six dots on each face. The most common method of dice manufacture involves injection molding of plastic followed by painting.
Dice have been used for gaming and divination purposes for thousands of years. Evidence found in Egyptian tombs has suggested that this civilization used them as early as 2000 b.c. Other data shows that primitive civilizations throughout the Americas also used dice. These dice were composed of ankle bones from various animals. Marked on four faces, they were likely used as magical devices that could predict the future. The ancient Greeks and Romans used dice made of bone and ivory. The dice of most of these early cultures were made in numerous shapes and sizes.
The modern day cubical dice originated in China and have been dated back as early as 600 b.c. They were most likely introduced to Europe by Marco Polo during the fourteenth century.
The Veluwe is a forest-rich ridge of hills (1100 km2) in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. The Veluwe features many different landscapes, including woodland, heath, some small lakes and Europe's largest sand drifts.
The Veluwe is the largest push moraine complex in the Netherlands, stretching 60 km from north to south, and reaching heights of up to 110 metres. The Veluwe was formed by the Saalian glacial during the Pleistocene epoch, some 200,000 years ago. Glaciers some 200 metres thick pushed the sand deposits in the Rhine and Maas Delta sideways, creating the hills which now form most of the Veluwe. Because the hills are made of sand, rain water disappears rapidly, and then it flows at a depth of tens of metres to the edges where it reaches the surface again.
Originally the Veluwe was surrounded by a string of swamps, heavily populated with game such as deer and wild boar because these areas offered rich vegetation to feed on. Since the 1990s many plans are underway, or have already been implemented, to restore these wetlands by blocking the drainage systems built by farmers during the last 150 years. This results in very dry heathland changing into wetland within a span of just a few hundred metres. The Wisselse Veen near the village of Epe, on the North East Veluwe, offers a good example of this.

This shot of the horse-drawn plow is a test using the 24-70mm Nano-coated Nikkor zoom as opposed to the old manual 55mm Micro-Nikkor. The implements stand on the path to the barn. Days of duty are gone. I'd like to see some of the horse-drawn gear in operation at the agricultural museum.
The red Dickens barn in the background was moved here from the Dickens farm that became Longmont's FAA property. I wanted to catch the spirit of the McIntosh/Lohr Museum. William Henry Dickens was the extra-industrious side of the family. The other side of the family, cousins, were the Parker family out in Brown's Park, north-east Colorado. They were not so industrious and one changed his name to an alias to protect the family name.
I gained new interest in the Dickens branch of the family when I did some research and found William H. was the grandson of Charles Dickens, English author. I have still been unable to link him to his cousin, Leroy Parker, in Colorado's northwest in the day. A few know the Parker son by his stage name - see comments. Parker must have been related to Flynn or Trumpf. At least Mueller is giving Flynn violin and singing lessons while the Russian Mafia is measuring Trump's kneecaps.
The series slipped over to recent takes at Mac, as long as I have a long way to go on the genealogy, scanning, retouching and documenting journey that has cost me months so far, sheesh. I recently took more genealogy pix. I traveled out here just to shoot this but got tied into the fall cleanup. I even had to clean up the mess I made scrunching to get this shot..
The Ag Museum is still open for first Saturdays through the winter. I have some nice snow job shots last winter. It's probably time for a leisurely stroll down to Mac Lake. I loaded up with autumn captures this year in general and accessed the only snow Saturday last winter. As always, it's a great spot for exercise and access to Mac Lake. There is always something more at Mcintosh but I won't search today. I apparently can't find everything in a single pass. I like the natural patina of the rusting tones as they were. There is great diversity in those tones.

Sometimes I come up with an idea for a photo, implement and get a satisfactory result, which I often will post to Flickr. Usually though I do not stop trying that idea after the initial success, because even if a do not produce a "better" image with subsequent efforts, I will at least produce different images. This is the result of a second or third attempt, I honestly do not remember which. But I start in the middle...
Once in a while I like using a double exposure technique where the first image is taken perfectly in focus and a second exposure is made over that completely out of focus. If everything works out, it can have a lovely surreal or otherworldly effect, as seen here and here. Sometimes I just do it because I have seen a particular landscape so many times that I just want to try something new, such as here with Narada Falls. And sometimes surprisingly the effect is so slight as to hardly be noticeable at all, yet still producing a dramatically different image than a single exposure would have granted, such as these two shots. Regardless, it is a fun, and surprising (in its results) way of photographing a familiar landscape. Easy to do with both film and digital cameras, a way to escape the bounds of the box and do something different with your camera, which is what I am constantly trying to do, no matter which camera I have happened to pick up. I like finding ways to make these machines work for me, and not vice versa. But now I stray...
So sometime this past April I was out at the Woodburn Tulip Festival, which happens to border a giant hazelnut grove. Sometimes I enjoy the groves more than the fields, especially once noon rolls around and the fields are swarming with people. I can only handle so many parents ignoring the no pick signs while they happily wave at their children mowing down a row of tulips single-handedly. In contrast, these groves, while only a couple of minutes away, and in plain sight of the fields are almost always completely deserted. So I wandered over one day, and one thing led to another, and before I knew it I had made some double exposed shots of these groves. I was fairly satisfied with at least one of the pictures and posted it here. But then I ended up back out there, and never one to let initial successes dampen my sense of further exploration, tried again, this time with my Pentax 67. Those familiar with the camera probably wonder how I pulled this off as the camera does not allow double exposures. Very true. In this case I actually made two exposures on slide film, each a stop over exposed so the slides would be a bit lighter, then layered them together and scanned them in as a single slide. The nifty thing with this method is you can actually position the two slides independently of one another, and believe me, this can have a dramatic result on the final effect. So then I came away with this shot, which I like better than the original, but did not get around to posting again until tonight.
Phew, and that is the story behind this one. This is one that really gains something viewed large by the way. Enjoy.
