Jersey City, NJ with New York City (NYC)'s financial district on the horizon. Beautiful evening and sunset tonight. You can just see the Empire State Building (ESB) along the left side of the Trump Plaza (tallest building on the left side of the image). This was shot with the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 at 11mm / 2.8 with an ND4 filter. No fake tilt shift was applied so outside of colour/light the exposure is straight out of Photomatix with no alteration. I will start to put in my work flow going forward since a number of you have expressed some interest.
HDR 7 exposures (Photomatix 3.1)
Please view on black and large:
USS New Jersey (BB-62) ("Big J" or "Black Dragon") is an Iowa-class battleship, and was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of New Jersey. New Jersey earned more battle stars for combat actions than the other three completed Iowa-class battleships, and is the only U.S. battleship to provide gunfire support during the Vietnam War.
During World War II, New Jersey shelled targets on Guam and Okinawa, and screened aircraft carriers conducting raids in the Marshall Islands. During the Korean War, she was involved in raids up and down the North Korean coast, after which she was decommissioned into the United States Navy reserve fleets, better known as the "mothball fleet". She was briefly reactivated in 1968 and sent to Vietnam to support U.S. troops before returning to the mothball fleet in 1969. Reactivated once more in the 1980s as part of the 600-ship Navy program, New Jersey was modernized to carry missiles and recommissioned for service. In 1983, she participated in U.S. operations during the Lebanese Civil War.
New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in 1991 (after serving a total of 21 years in the active fleet), having earned a Navy Unit Commendation for service in Vietnam and 19 battle and campaign stars for combat operations during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, and service in the Persian Gulf. After a brief retention in the mothball fleet, she was donated to the Home Port Alliance in Camden, New Jersey, and began her career as a museum ship 15 October 2001.

A westbound shuttle train to Bay Head arrives at Allenhurst with a former CNJ GP40P running on its home rails. What was formerly CNJ 3672 passes its counterpart train which is powered by NJTR 4216, formerly a Penn Central GP40 #3204.
One fact to note is this engine was the only one of the 13 original CNJ geeps on NJ Transit to retain its originally assigned Conrail number after their Altoona rebuild in the early '90s.

Hey guys, sorry I've not been able to come by your streams over the weekend. But I had taken a self imposed flickr hiatus. Seriously, flickr is getting way too addictive and I'm trying to cut back a bit from it. Besides, I'm trying to get a lot more done in my professional career right now and so flickr's got to become a smaller portion in my life. So starting today, i'll be on flickr on and off.
I do realize that the community runs on mutual respect of each other's work manifested in the form of comments and faves, so I really don't expect anyone to keep coming by my stream to take a look at my work if i'm unable to view and appreciate yours. I'm still going to try and keep visiting your streams and draw inspiration from your work from time to time, its just not going to be as often it has been.
Hope you guys understand. You've all been such great people and a wonderful source of support! But well, life has other things that one has to deal with. Now that all the serious stuff's been said, this one's a snap of Manhattan from across the river on the New Jersey side. The sky was that reddish purplish haze already and its not an effect. All I did was increase the saturation of those colors!
Happy Monday everyone!
The small herd of Jerseys are managed whereby the calves remain at foot for about six months.
The cows are milked once a day, in the morning, which means that the calves have ample opportunity to get the milk they need from their mothers throughout the rest of the day.
The benefits of keeping cows and calves together are vast, but essentially, it's best for the calf and its mother and it allows for a more symbiotic relationship between cow and human.
Ideally, this technique will be adopted by more dairy farmers.

Almost as though it wanted to continue the theme from our holiday for just one more day..... this morning we opened the curtains to find it on our window. Then it fluttered off with a flash of orange underwings, to rest on the greenery.
August 1981. The service between St Helier and Fort Elizabeth was by DUKW - which took to the water when the tide was in! The vehicles were registered as char-a-bancs!

"The Channel Islands Occupation Society (Jersey) has been opening and restoring German fortifications for 45 years and arguably boasts some of the best-preserved fortifications today that originally formed and defended part of Hitler’s much vaunted “Atlantikwall” which stretched from inside the arctic circle of northern Norway to the French/Spanish boarder with about 10% of the fortifications constructed found in the Channel Islands!"

"The Channel Islands were the only part of the Britain Isles to be occupied by German forces in WW2. The five-year occupation came to an end on 09 May 1945 – Liberation Day, an event still celebrated in Jersey with an annual Bank Holiday."
"Hitler ordered the conversion of Jersey into an impregnable fortress. Some 6000 forced workers from countries like Russia, Spain, France, Poland, and Algeria built hundreds of bunkers, anti-tank walls, railway systems, as well as many tunnel complexes.... All of the fortifications built around the island were part of Hitler’s “Atlantic Wall”."
