con molta vita negli occhi e nei ricordi, giorni a volte in discesa e che oggi sembrano in salita, ma vale la pena di salire per vedere cosa c'è oltre il limitare dello sguardo. Con caparbietà, a passo lento, conoscendo ogni giorno di più, ogni giorno che ti lasci alle spalle, ogni giorno che tieni fra le mani. Verso giorni ancora da scrivere

Across the field stands on old, stag-horned Oak. I can see that there is some sort of commotion among the birds there, and my eyes seem to make out crows and some sort of raptor. I push my camera to its limits, using the digital zoom, primarily to satisfy my curiosity, but it is only when I get the camera home that I realise I have captured (albeit rather foggily) a rather dramatic moment. The crows are mobbing not one, but a pair of red kites. One crow, it seems, is somewhat braver than the others. The kites seem impassive, immovable, like extensions of the bark.

Really stretching the limits of modern cameras, in near darkness 69008 rumbles through Doncaster station working the Middleton Towers to Goole Glassworks sand train.
6E88 1226 Middleton Towers Gbrf to Goole Glassworks Gbrf.
This was the 2nd '56' passing in the 20 minutes we were here for the first being a named Colas example heading south of the path of a cancelled Haverton Hill to Doncaster working.
Wood ducks are the most abundant resident wild ducks in Florida. Males are brightly colored, while females are a muted gray brown.
Wood ducks prefer wooded wetlands, streams or swampy areas; they feed on floating mast, fruit and seeds of water tupelo, oaks and cypress. They are unusual among ducks in that they are hole nesters. A shortage of nest cavities limits their nesting, but fortunately these ducks readily use nest boxes.
The recovery of wood duck populations is one of North America’s conservation success stories. In the early 1900s the species was almost extinct. Destruction of bottomland hardwood swamps and hunting had decimated wood duck populations across the eastern USA. The recovery began with the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918, which prohibited the hunting of wood ducks nationwide. The wide-scale use of artificial nest boxes also contributed to the wood duck’s recovery and populations rebounded; hunting seasons reopened in 1941.
I found this one in my backyard Lake Wales, Florida.

Every river I have worked on seems to have a "Narrows" somewhere in the system. This one is along Wills Creek a major tributary to the Potomac River joining the North Branch of the Potomac not far from here in Cumberland, MD. An eastbound manifest freight behind GP38 3826, with the US Capital Dome on the nose, is followed by another hood unit and an F7A as they ease into the super elevated track just outside the town limits of Cumberland.

Speed Limit should be 30 or is it 3? Taken over by vines… kudzu? Poison ivy? Something else? Don’t know, just thought it was neat looking at the time and something that never was scanned or shared 2-3 years ago.
Orion races through our sky and in so doing leaves traces of brilliant starlight that seems engraved into our minds if we start to watch the stars and to revel in their wondrous beauty. Orion features in the annual procession of the constellations that rise above the limits of our horizon and also fall below our view each Solar sojourn.
For any failings please do not blame the Helios-44 2 it needs an adjustment to be made and to be secured. This is a picture from a Helios 44 ƒ2 one of the much vaunted Soviet copies of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm ƒ/2. The Soviet manufactured lenses are much sought after for wonderful bokeh both from factory standard output and also now with a growing multitude of modern fanciful adjustments many making dream like pictures. The necessary adjustment to reach precise Star Focus is possibly going to feature in later uploads.

A jetboat is a boat propelled by a jet of water ejected from the back of the craft. Unlike a powerboat or motorboat that uses an external propeller in the water below or behind the boat, a jetboat draws the water from under the boat through an intake and into a pump-jet inside the boat, before expelling it through a nozzle at the stern.
The modern jetboat was developed by New Zealand engineer Sir William Hamilton in the mid-1950s. His goal was a boat to run up the fast-flowing rivers of New Zealand that were too shallow for propellers.

At the Air Show in Gatineau Québec today, a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning dazzled the crowd with a display of raw power and agility. The $80M stealth multirole fighter is a candidate for replacement of Canada's ageing fleet of CF-18 Hornets, which have been in service since the early 80's.
The pilot seemed to be pushing the allowable speed limits, getting very close to breaking the sound barrier.
Sorry for the blur, but this is severely cropped after being shot from 100 ft. (30 m) away. Just had to try to capture her tentative steps as she waded deeper and deeper into the stream testing the limits of what her boots could do.
Haven't we all tried to push limits also?
Please - lightbox.
Thanks.

Better late than never I suppose. The MCE has been opened for close to half a year before I got to photographing it, mainly because I had no idea how to get there previously. Also, red light trails are one of the things I still have problems with since I can't get them to show up reliably, I ended up having to reconstruct some of them in post because of drivers changing lanes adding ugly orange specks into the mix, this was the best I could manage with the images I had, glad that it turned out decently.

Lijn 7 in Binningen onderweg naar het eindpunt Kronenplatz bij restaurant Jägerstübli in 1978. Lijn 7 stond in Bazel onderaan in de 'pikorde' en werd zodoende op werkdagen overdag nog helemaal met oud materieel gereden (tweeassige motorwagen en drieassige bijwagen).
De tak naar de Kronenplatz stond op de nominatie te worden opgeheven omdat Binningen ook werd bediend door de Birseckbahn, die in een frequent rijdende tramlijn van Baselland Transport werd omgezet. Toch is de tram hier blijven rijden, tegenwoordig in de vorm van lijn 2, vanwege het enorm gestegen gebruik van het OV door goedkopere abonnementen in combinatie met maatregelen tegen massaal autogebruik
Line 7 seen in Binningen, heading for Kronenplatz terminus while passing Jägerstübli restaurant in 1978. Route 7 had the lowest position in the pecking order in Basle at the time, resulting in being the only route operated all day (on Mondays-Fridays) with old stock, consisting of a two-axle motor and three-axle trailer.
The branch to Kronenplatz was up to closure in those years, while Binningen was also served by Birseckbahn, which was to be changed into a modern tramway of Baselland Transport with shorter headways. Yet the tramway to Binningen Kronenplatz remained, nowadays operated by route 2, thanks to the increase of PT patronage resulting from cheaper season tickets and measures to limit the private car usage in Basle
The sky is definitely not the limit, but you better watch your fruits there, or else the big fat bear will come and eat it right under your nose.

Today I walked down the street to get a few grocery stuff and I found the store nearby my apartment was closing! No OJ, no yogurt, no meat... a lot of shelves were empty! I ended up stocking some non-perishables like coffee and canned soup as they were taking 50% off on all goods...

Wow. I'm amazed that so many people stopped by here for the last couple of days after this made it to Explore. But honestly, I don't think this is the best example of my photos and I believe there are "better" images than this one (well, depends on your taste tho, of course). So if you have time, PLEASE take a look at my photostream too! Thank you! ;-)
