The Dornier Do 31 is an experimental vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jet-propelled transport designed and produced by West German aircraft manufacturer Dornier.
The development of the Do 31 was motivated principally by heavy interest expressed by the German Air Force in the acquisition of short take-off and vertical landing aircraft (STOVL)-capable aircraft. Such ambitions received a further boost from the issuing of NATO specification NBMR-4, which called for a VTOL-capable tactical support aircraft that would be operated in conjunction with the EWR VJ 101, a West German VTOL strike aircraft designed under the NATO contract of BMR-3. A total of three aircraft, two flight-capable and one static airframe, were constructed and used for testing. On 10 February 1967, the Do 31 performed its maiden flight; the first hovering flight of the type took place during July 1967.
In addition to performing test flights, Dornier often demonstrated the Do 31 prototypes to officials and the general public, such as at the 1969 Paris Air Show. Several world records were set by the type during its limited flying career. When the high cost, technical and logistical difficulties of operating such an aircraft were realized, the German Air Force opted to cease trials involving VTOL aircraft, such as the Do 31, VJ101, and the later VFW VAK 191B. In the face of limited sales prospects and a lack of state support, the Do 31 and other VTOL projects lingered as research projects for a time prior to their manufacturers abandoning all activity. The Do 31 remains the only VTOL-capable jet-powered transport aircraft to ever fly.

About the location:
Last night I was lazing around the house, not really motivated to do anything. At around 2:00am I realized that sunrise was only a couple of hours away so I checked the Yahoo weather map conveniently located in the titlebar in Flickr, and it was showing a thin cloud layer to the west moving around 5 mph in my direction. This location is only 35 minutes from my house so I decided that I would stay up through the night and get a super early start. I always face a difficult choice on my way up into the mountains. If I head west on Hwy 138 then I have only this view without any backup locations, but if I head east I have several other options but no view that includes the city, so I have to feel pretty confident about the cloud coverage to head west but I could feel the light coming on this morning. This is a view over Lone Pine Canyon road, the city in the distance, because of the angle looks like one but is actually 3 cities, San Bernardino, Redlands and Beaumont blending together and leading up to Mount San Jacinto in the background.
About the shot:
This was shot using a technique in which you trick the camera into thinking something it's not seeing. I first set the camera to spot metering and metered the sky. Then it set the camera to underexpose by 2 stops switch to manual focus and refocus on the city lights, then I light painted the foreground with a couple of lights at a WB of 5000k.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

The oldest meteorological station in the world
The Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes , 50 BC
The 12-meter-tall structure has a diameter of about 8 metres and was topped in antiquity by a weathervane-like Triton that indicated the wind direction. Below the frieze depicting the eight wind deities — Boreas (N), Kaikias (NE), Eurus (E), Apeliotes (SE), Notus (S), Lips (SW), Zephyrus (W), and Skiron (NW) — there are eight sundials.
In its interior, there was a water clock (or clepsydra), driven by water coming down from the Acropolis.
Recent research has shown that the considerable height of the tower was motivated by the intention to place the sundials and the wind-vane at a visible height on the Agora, effectively making it an early example of a clocktower
A Honey Bee focused on working the flowers. The only processing here is reducing the saturation for this effect.

I’ve taken to paying attention to Flickr’s weekly theme. I don’t know why. Hopefully, it’ll motivated me a little — maybe stretch my limits. This week’s theme is #Blue. I only had to stretch to my backyard.

Today was one of those lazy days when it comes to photography, I kept putting off picking up the camera and finally as the light was starting to sink I figured I'd better get moving.
What better for a day of procrastinating than a photo of a motivator... that and I was a little stumped on inspiration and coffee is always a good model!
Anyway hope everyone has had a good day, and a Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

The Finale
So you have probably been wondering what the days and weeks mean. It actually was not supposed to be this way. Starting back in February or March, I almost completely lost the will to post. I had images from October, November, and December that were in Lightroom that I had not even looked at since the day I took them. I had a camera roll and multiple notes filled with random photos, train symbols, and all sorts of information that had no meaning until I actually associated the information with something. It was also at this time I felt fairly discouraged. From December 23 to March 16, the day before I went out again, I had only been out twice. I believe February saw one single sunny, cloudless day in the Gorge this year, a day in which I had class. There was a day that called for sun and no clouds, and I actually drove out before sunrise, planning to shoot all day only to arrive in Hood River as the sun came up to a solid sheet of clouds. I turned right around and came home. February is up there as being on of my favorite months to shoot, and I expected multiple outings this year, only to come away with none.
So anyway, about a month ago, I thought I would motivate myself to edit and post the stuff I hadn’t looked at for a few months. As much as I wish I never had to post the images, I knew that if I saved up all my favorites at the same time, it would make the posting more interesting for me. I created a note that listed in order which images I would post and what needed to be said. The list was roughly 21 images, and I thought it would make sense to do one a day, so I opted to keep the title and everything the same as it is in my notes when I post here. I guess I felt the need to explain because I do not want anyone getting the wrong idea here. By no means do I think my images are any better than anyone else’s. It was simply for me to organize my thoughts and make it easier for me to actually share some of my adventures with you all. There are plenty of amazing photographers that have come before me and who will come after me, and as someone who has only been shooting for about 4 years now, I have a long way to go before I have the right to make any claims about what’s good and what’s bad. I like looking at cool stuff, you like looking at cool stuff, and that is exactly how I want to keep it. If you made it this far, let’s add some context to what exactly you are looking at.
This is BNSFs Oregon Trunk Subdivision. Minus all the CTC upgrades within the last few years, this whole piece of railroad feels a bit like a time capsule. Estimates in the early 2000s put the traffic levels for this line somewhere in the teens or low 20s, numbers that are nowhere in sight today, and quite frankly, numbers that will never exist. The line, running south out of Wishram, WA to Chemult, OR, where it meets with the UP Cascade Subdivision, sees about 4-6 trains a day. Seeing trains in good light on this line is incredibly challenging. There is a reason that this shot, which is fairly accessible to anyone who hikes and is not afraid of heights, is scarcely seen given how photogenic it is. If the searchlights and pole line were not removed, this line would almost feel a bit like Raton is now. The road into here is actually the old ROW for the competing company (backed by Edward Harriman) that built along the eastern side of the Deschutes River Canyon. You can find abandoned infrastructure in a few places in the canyon.
Within the first 71 miles, there are 3 sidings, 2 real ones. The first siding, being Moody at MP5, is 4329 feet and has rarely ever been used. The first real siding is Oakbrook at MP38.4, being 6232 feet in length. Dixon, at MP 70, is 5469 feet, and the sidings continue from here at regular 20 mile or so intervals all the way to Chemult. Every train through here is very short, almost every single one is a manifest, and the speeds are very slow. A few more trains per day and it would almost be perfect. What you are looking at is a location known as the Twin Bridges. Instead of following the curvature of the Deschutes, the railroad crosses the river, through a tunnel, and then crosses it again immediately upon leaving the portal. The train originated from the ballast pit at “Missile Base”, a location on the Lakeside Sub. It is running to the yard at Lookout, CA, presumably for a maintenance project on the Gateway. This is, perhaps, about as peaceful a rail line you will find.
As for the current Favorites Series, it will be something I continue in the future, but this will be it for a little bit. All I have is worthless junk again, some of which I will throw around here and there. It has been fun. Thanks for viewing. Until next time.

The Hohenzollern Castle – a subject photographed thousands of times, a symbol of history and majesty. What drives someone to return to this place again and again, camera in hand, searching for the perfect moment? I may never fully answer this question for myself, but one thing is certain: the fascination remains unbroken.
With such an iconic subject, the challenge lies in finding something unique. Something that hasn’t already been captured countless times. Perhaps it’s precisely this pursuit that motivates me – the attempt to reveal the unseen.
My work often begins when the day visitors have long made their way home. When tranquility sets in, and only a few like-minded souls remain, quietly chasing their photographic dreams. It’s the time when you become one with your craft and the surrounding nature. When dusk slowly yields to night, the air grows cool, and the first stars appear in the sky.
The magic of this moment lies not only in the subject itself but in the experience. The cold creeping through your clothes is a reminder of how alive you can feel. The silence, broken only by the wind or a distant call, brings a profound connection to the here and now. And when the camera captures the moment – whether it’s the last ray of sunlight bathing the castle in warm light or the sea of mist draping itself like a veil over the hills – a deep sense of contentment arises. A feeling that words can hardly describe but that fills the heart.
It’s these moments that keep drawing me back here. The hope of finding and capturing something special once more – and perhaps, in doing so, sharing a bit of that joy with others.
As I continue on with my photography journey, I continue to evolve more and more with each image. I evolve as a person, I evolve as an observer of light, I evolve as an artist. My pursuit to be the best I can be never stops. It keeps me motivated. Just knowing there is so much potential within ourselves is astonishing. The journey has been long, but meaningful in every way. The camera has opened my eyes in so many different ways it’s unimaginable. Some of the locations I’ve photographed don’t even seem real. Landscapes that you would read in a fairytale or see in a motion picture. It’s hard to believe these landscapes even exist.
With my latest series of images
I feel tells a small story about the bald cypress tree. Each tree has its own character, and it’s own story. The bald cypress tree is a long lived tree that is native to the Mississippi Valley, Southeastern regions of the United States and extends northward to the mid Atlantic states. Out of all of the collections that I’ve put together over years, this one is one of my favorites. For me, there’s something about these unique trees that speak to me. The cypress tree has a very unique look, and when you combine this special tree with the swamp landscape and all of the swamp’s eerie/mysterious look, it’s makes for fascinating imaging. It is strikingly beautiful, and a place where you have complete solitude. The feeling of being alone, in this quiet and daunting environment is something that one would have to experience for themselves to really understand where I’m coming from. It’s a feeling like no other. This is why I love what I do. It’s going into the unknown, being uncomfortable and adjusting to the surroundings that you’re not use to. It’s a mental test. You vs. the landscape. Are you prepared to wade through muddy murky waters with alligators and snakes around? It’s all real...it’s nature. It’s uncomfortable, it’s different, it’s challenging, it’s all the elements that you’re not use to while photographing. But that’s part of the journey.....the evolution of self.
Before I end this, please take your time to view the images. There’s so many little subtle details that one will over look if you just breeze through them. Get a cup of coffee or cup of tea, open up the light box and view the images on full screen and just chill, and enjoy your visual experience. Also, I want to thank everyone that has supported my work over the years. I greatly appreciate it. You guys are awesome. Peace and love to everyone one out there, shoot for yourself, continue to evolve, and see you guys in 2018. Happy Holidays.

This is a verse from the Bible I discovered a while ago and I always wanted to use it for a photo of mine. I think it is obviously why I choose the title for this shot. There is the “Brandenburger Tor”, the most known gate of Germany and there is the Quadriga which looks as if they want to enter the gate in all their Glory. To emphasize the effect of entering something with glory and speed I used the Radial Blur Filter in Photoshop.
It wasn’t easy to not destroy the image with it but I think the effect turned out pretty well.
As I look at the image my eyes get really dizzy! What do you think? Is the image Top or Flop?
Also I decided to talk a bit on statistics on this image.
Lately a lot of my contact hit the 100.000 views mark. I am really proud of you. The reason why I want to share statistics with you is not that you think “how cool is he” or “man what an ass”.
The reason is motivation.
I want to motivate you to set a goal for 2012 and pursue it. I hit the 100.000 views exactly two years ago. A month ago I hit the 1.000.000 views. It wouldn’t have been without you that I could have reached this. So of course I am really thankful for all of you supporting me and viewing my Images.
If you are good in mathematics you see that it took me nearly two years to reach 1.000.000 views.
As I sat down and started my Flickr vision for 2012 I thought what do I want to achieve this year. After thinking a while I thought to change the two years into one year and the 1.000.000 into 2.000.000.
This means I actually need 2.000.000 views this year which is approximately 5479 views each day :-).
I really don’t know how I should do this but at the end of the year I will let you know if I was able to achieve this.
Again I want to motivate you to set your goals for 2012. If you are like me making crazy plans which cannot be achieved without much luck please write your Flickr goals for 2012 into the comment section.
I am really interested to see what you are planning.
Please remember that we are not competitors but friends . If your goal is to reach one view each day let me know. I am really interested to see it!

Shooting has been incredible lately. I feel like there is a new force pushing me along. It is overcast today so I'll be out shooting for most of it, and I can't wait. I've never felt so motivated to pick up my camera and click.
Over a year ago I did a photo using fake snow, and I said to myself that i'd never use fake snow again in place of fake cobweb...but when it came down to it, I had a ton of fake snow this year (I was trying to emulate the christmas spirit as seen in Pennsylvania) so I had to put it to use :)

China, Shanghai, Zhujiajiao, a waterway in the "Water Town" on the outskirts of Shanghai in the Qingpu District is not only well-known throughout China. With a history of more than 1,700 years, the little fan-shaped town being regarded as Shanghai's Venice established about 1,700 years ago, archaeological findings dating back 5.000 years.
The historical centre of Zhujiajiao, built on a peninsula enclosed by the rivers Dianpu He & the Cao He; these are rivers flowing from west to east, which been converted into transport channels over the centuries, "Cao He" means "river for the water transport of grain".
Middle-class people built two- to three-story "row houses" along these canals from around the 16th century, on the other side of which roads for carts ran. On the ground floor of these whitewashed & grey-tiled houses, there was usually a shop or workshop open to the street, while a veranda facing the canal, often with stone steps to the water.
Zhujiajiao, literally meaning "Village of the Zhu Family", since "Zhu Yuanzhang", the founder of the subsequent Ming dynasty, also came from the Zhu clan, the name was tabooed & the place in Zhujiege, "Pearl Market", or Zhuxi, "Pearls Brook", renamed, the same pronunciation, but different characters & different meanings.
