My 500th flickr photo. :)
The fireworks show at Magic Kingdom is without question one of the most impressive displays I've ever seen. I'm definitely happy to have gotten this photograph given the size of the crowd around me... it captures well the feeling of magic.

Taiwan - left. Philippines- right.
Look how their hair are differently styled. Taiwan box background is metallic magenta, Philippine is mat, less pink, much red. Also Philippine doll's hands are secured, while Taiwan are free (however it's note the rule - I have seen many different variations). Fabrics used are not the same as well - look at their tops :)
Whilst browsing through my pics bin I found three shots of flasks headed by a class 20 but, each one had a different type of loco behind. I probably never uploaded them before because they were all load one.
20308 & 20309 open up as they leave Carlisle at the head of 6C53, the 06:30 Crewe-Sellafield flask train (diverted via Shap) on 12 July 2011. The train left the WCML at Upperby Bridge Junction and joined the Cumbrian Coast line near here at Currock Junction by way of Upperby and Bog Junctions.
The attractive red sandstone mills at Holme Head can be seen in the background. Immediately above the rear of the single flatrol that makes up this train, one can just make out the Holme Head Bay weir, built to exploit the River Caldew, the river's “magic” properties so important to the textile industry in Carlisle.
New that year at the River of Lights was an optional early entry - no crowds and, I think, a more interesting photo experience with some light (and a moon) in the sky.

December 11, 2018: River of Lights in Albuquerque's BioPark
After 12 years living in ABQ, we finally got our act together and visited the River of Lights - a holiday walk through the Albuquerque Botanic Garden, decorated with over 500 light sculptures and displays and millions of twinkle lights.
Some fun stuff, lifted from the website:
- We have over 550 light displays and animated sculptures ranging from a 1-foot flower to a 30-foot Brontosaurus
- To make a 1-foot sculpture takes an average of six hours, whereas the Brontosaurus took nearly 600 hours
- Setup starts in mid-September, and it takes a crew of 10 to place sculptures and twinkle light the Botanic Garden
- All our sculptures are stored in two giant warehouses and four storage containers
- Many of our sculptures are created in pieces for easy installation and storage
- Our first T-Rex was modeled after a wind-up toy
- We use over 100,000 zip ties annually to attach rope light to our sculptures
- There are over 200 miles of twinkle lights scattered through the Botanic Garden
- Over 12 miles of extension cords are running electricity to all our sculptures and twinkle lights
Inspired by the movie "Practical Magic."
About two sisters who practice magic in a modern day world and are treated differently because they aren't what is to be considered normal. Though myself & the other model are not actually sisters we both understand each other and relate to the sisters in the movie.
This is such a pretty butterfly :)
Forgive me, for the white spot in front of this shot.... :)
Enjoy the days :)
After the series of swirly bokeh I start the series "magic light" consisting on close-up and macros taken with the lens PENTACON auto 1.8/50 MC
This lens is a real treat. It’s a funky vintage 500mm Spiratone. My buddy Victor1 lent it to me, and my first test with it was a moon shot. It uses mirrors instead of lenses. The light path traverses the length of the barrel three times and bounces off two mirrors, so it’s fat and squat, not long and skinny (just like reflecting vs. refracting telescopes).
Instagram Pier is a pier located on the waterfront of Sai Wan, Hong Kong. Originally a container terminal, the cargo dock has become a popular attraction and location for photographers. Instagram Pier is well known by the public because of its clear view of Victoria Harbour, a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong. In Instagram Pier, the view of the Hong Kong's skyline, sunsets, old lamp posts, caution barriers, cargo pallets, etc. can be captured.

I've been so busy since returning from WDW last week that I've barely looked at the photos I took while there but since most of the photos are fall/Halloween themed, I really need to get moving while they're still relevant!
The Magical Lantern Festival at Chiswick House and gardens. Find out more on my blog - www.andrewlalchan.com
Amazingly, I met Marie last monday, along with the lovely Rora whom I met last year!
They are both the loveliest, andI got to discover the magic that is whole foods, too.
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more dark ride shots! Woooooo yea! This is a redo of sorts. I originally posted a similar shot from 2010 with the intention of retaking the shot. I think I'm closer but I'm gonna try one more time when I get my D800 or after my plans to steal Mike Beasant's D3s are complete.
Our Daily Challenge: Water Drop(s)
"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." - Loren Eiseley
I had thoughts of 'waterbending', like Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)... but also thought about Juvia from the anime Fairy Tail. What wonderful magic you can imagine with water and magic... Even thoughts of The Abyss from back in 1989 with Ed Harris.
