Big difference from previous photo taken on Sept 28, 2020

 

Just about every small town in the Midwest has one or more of these…an empty lot caused by the removal of one of the old buildings in a commercial row. Looking a bit like a missing tooth, what can you do with it? The days of commercial prosperity have flown the coop and about all you have now that is viable is a Casey’s gas station and a Dollar Store. These old commercial rows present a challenging situation for a bold entrepreneur who can think outside the box. Maybe we should just order dentures.

I'll give you a break from Valencia for a while!

 

Back to March and my trip up to Skye. I met up with Skyeweasel and although the weather/tides meant Elgol was pretty pointless she was kind enough to show me a few locations I'd not shot before on the Broadford to Elgol road.

 

I'd seen this old manse house on a map and aerial photo and had it in mind to try to find but Louise took me straight there and we must have spent 90mins at least trying different povs and portrait v Landscape orientations. The snow on the mountains added a different feel. Several areas of rock existed to create leading lines and this was one of them.

 

Have to say I really enjoyed this location so once again my sincere thanks to Louise for her help and guidance on the day. Check out her channel if you haven't already www.flickr.com/photos/95388056@N02

Some time before I shot the previous photo, the Black-shouldered Kite male was carrying this twig and landed in the tree where the nest should be. I suppose this was just some small addition to the already completed construction because I had observed the nest building process at lest a month ago. I wonder about the strength of his beak holding the twig so precisely at its very tip during the fast flight.

What do you all think?

 

Do you guys want another review?

This house looked so sad for a very long time. The area at the front was overgrown and full to bursting with three cornered leeks.

 

It took the new owners a bit of time, but it's now looking lovely. You can just see the Welcome sign I took a photo of on the left hand wall - www.flickr.com/photos/44506883@N04/50176710771/in/album-7...

 

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

The 2016 Lincoln Classic Car Rally held alongside Brayford Pool, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

 

The free event annual is aimed to take visitors on a journey through the ages looking at an array of different makes of car. It is part of Lincoln Business Improvement Group's (Lincoln BIG) calendar of summer shows.

 

'twas great fun watching a pair shore up their nest in anticipation of little ones this morning.

Young red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) collecting hay. Grass was recently mowed with some hay remaining, and it's a great opportunity for some nest improvement.

 

Młoda wiewiórka (Sciurus vulgaris) zbierająca siano. Trawa zostałą niedawno skoszona i pozostało po tym nieco siana, co jest znakomitą okazją do ulepszenia gniazda.

Brackley is a delightful small market town in the south of Northamptonshire. Its market was originally based on wool and lace. Brackley is situated on strategic routes between London, Birmingham and the Midlands, and between Cambridge and Oxford. The charming former town hall in Brackley (pictured centre) dates from the Queen Anne period, having been built by the 4th Earl of Bridgwater in 1706. The weekly market is held in front of the building. In recent years the old town hall has undergone a major refurbishment, and I am pleased to say that an ugly metal fire escape has been removed from the outside of the building, with suitable improvements made inside.

Some of my old 1/72 were pretty rushed and all getting a good revisit. Much improved Mig-29 and now working on some camo versions.

I did manage to get out in the leaves in between canning and home improvements. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my images. Any comments and faves are always appreciated. Have a great day!

Final moments before the sun set on 2020(about time, let's hope 2021 is an improvement)

Number 135 of my 365 photo challenge - Another macro image of a Dandelion fruit.

 

I know I have used this subject already, but this was just too much of an improvement from my point of view, not to be used for today's picture.

Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project.

 

The Pattullo Bridge is a key connection between the communities of Surrey and New Westminster. The new toll-free four-lane bridge will provide important improvements for everyone using the bridge, including people who are driving, cycling or walking, as well as communities on either side of the bridge.

Thanks everyone! I've been with this Flickr Account since the 29th of December 2011. With this image as my 100th uploaded I just wanted to recap the 60 days of Dirks_Designs.

 

Over 25,000 visits! with my best day at 1,097 :D

I'm truly grateful to everyone for supporting this hobby with so much positive feedback and great ideas for additional designs!

 

This image showcases the first decal I ever made for LEGO. I made it December 25 while figuring out what to do with myself for Christmas on deployment... away from family.

Hiking with friends in Kananaskis, the clouds suddenly rolled in. We decided to hike out quickly as we weren't sure how bad the weather would get. Tucked the 'good camera' in my bag and quickly took some phone shots. Gorgeous spot - hope to go back this summer.

Just got the Photomatix 6 upgrade. Love the more realistic results, especially the improvements in the sky.
