Hay racks are an ethnological speciality of Slovenia. In Alps, summers are short and hay must be covered to get dry. But I never saw an idea to use it as staff for notation. Well, my wife says this notation of Slovenian national anthem (Zdravljica / The Toast) has at the end some faults, but the idea is still fine.
Note the canopy is very slightly open - it was a hot day! One of few female pilots on the display circuit, Isabel tore up the skies over Old Warden. A magnificent sight and sound.
I saw people crossing my brain
he wears a bowler hat ...
But I can't see his face ...
hard to see his face ...
one day two crows
perched on his shoulder
to provide information about his death
he just lifted his hat a little
as if to say
"... I'm painting your life ..."
Note: This is a real fisherman, not one of those fake ones in strange poses searching for tips

note...rather than adding a new image to the banff set,I have replaced an older post with this new never before posted image
Tiny blossoms of an Echeveria succulent captivated me enough to make something complimentary of them.
About 10cm in length.

this really caught my eye the other day amazing how the outside flowers open first
A music club is starting at my friend's school and she asked me to create something w/ a rose & music notes (I understand the notes, but why a rose???) for.... a flyer? I have no idea - haha. I guess I'll upload this anyway.
A note about today's inspiration:
"Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe."

Editor's Note: Chandra is celebrating 10 years of operation. This image from 2002 shows some very hot young stars -- and not the kind you see in the tabloids!
At a distance of 6,000 light years from Earth, the star cluster RCW 38 is a relatively close star-forming region. This image covers an area about 5 light years across, and contains thousands of hot, very young stars formed less than a million years ago. X-rays from the hot upper atmospheres of 190 of these stars were detected by Chandra.
In addition to the point-like emission from stars, the Chandra image revealed a diffuse cloud of X-rays enveloping the star cluster. The X-ray spectrum of the cloud shows an excess of high-energy X-rays, which indicates that the X-rays come from trillion-volt electrons moving in a magnetic field. Such particles are typically produced by exploding stars, or in the strong magnetic fields around neutron stars or black holes, none of which is evident in RCW 38.
One possible origin for the high-energy electrons is an undetected supernova that occurred in the cluster. Although direct evidence for such a supernova could have faded away thousands of years ago, a shock wave or a rapidly rotating neutron star produced by the outburst could be acting in concert with particles evaporating off the young stars to produce the high energy electrons.
Regardless of the origin of the energetic electrons, their presence could change the chemistry of the disks that will eventually form planets around stars in the cluster. For example, in our own solar system, we find evidence of certain short-lived radioactive nuclei (Aluminum 26 being the most well known). This implies the existence of a high-energy process late in the evolution of our solar system. If our solar system was immersed for a time in a sea of energetic particles, this could explain the rare nuclides present in meteorites found on Earth today.

Schloss Neufreistadt, or Neuschloss -- (Castle) , Neufreistadt (245, 165, 203) - Moderate
For entirely non-train reasons I found myself at Cherrywood West on the first day of 2025. Turned on the scanner just in time to hear H19 call the approach to Cherrywood. It was a pleasant surprise - though not entirely unexpected - to see a pair of veteran SD60's come around the bend a few moments later. Some last minute adjustments to my camera settings (mostly) saved the day as the sun kept peeking in and out from behind the clouds.
I've been posting a lot of colorful pictures lately =D
