UPDATE: This photo was entered in the Photoshop Users photo contest and won BEST OF SHOW. As stated, I did not do all the work on this, a LOT of people were involved in all the shooting and photoshop work, I simply took the photos that were used as the backgrounds: Buildings (street and clouds were part of that image) and the stadium.
This is the final product of a project I worked on with nuvisions in CA for the cover of the Xara soccer catalog. I shot the elements shown below the models pulling the grass "taking the field" were shot by Nuvisions and the whole thing was put together at nuvisions.
There were actually 2 different versions of the top photo that were used, this one and a night shot taken from the same spot for the lights.
The Jubilee Tower can be found at the summit of Moel Famau, it was built in 1810 to commemorate the golden jubilee of George III.
This was taken using a 10 stop ND filter to slow my shutter speed hence the cloud in movement.
A dramatic stormy sunset at Dinas Dintlle beach, I'm glad I went when I did as the weather soon turned.
An early morning start was well worth getting up to, this is Mynydd Drws Y Coed (The Nantlle ridge) & Trum Y Ddysgl.
Todays Kingfisher, I was told about this bird but wasnt 100% on location,i was walking around too much looking for it & spooked it as i had nowhere to hide i was gutted but surely enough it came back to the very same spot, happy days.
Taken in Greenfield North Wales.
It was my very first day testing out my 2x extender on my 300mm f2.8 Lens.
Taken at Greenfield marshes, I managed to get reasonably close to this bird.
About 30 seconds after this image was taken it attacked & killed a wader in the marshes right in front of my eyes! I couldn't believe how fast this bird flew.
Look at those piercing eyes, I certainly would not like to be the little mammal about to be killed here, found this one scouring the salt marshes at Bettisfield colliery North Wales.
Best viewed large.

A delightful old Tollgate Cottage near ysbyty (hospital) Lluesty. Travellers would of paid to cross over here to enter the hills of Brynford & beyond. Rumours are that this road is haunted.
I returned to the same spot today looking for the Merlin, I did see it in flight but it didn't land close enough for photography, however I think this little Wren was quite adequate.
The Round-leaved Sundew is a strange and beautiful plant.
On each leaf, hair-like tendrils tipped with glistening droplets attract passing insects. But this 'dew' is very sticky and when the sundew's tendrils detect the presence of prey, it curls them inwards, trapping the insect.

Trwyn Du (Penmon) Lighthouse is 29m tall and was built in 1835-1838, the lamp was converted to solar power in 1996 but the tower has been unmanned since 1922
A map of Bay City Mall as it looks in November 2010. Orange spaces are vacancies.
Starting from Sears and working down to Target then back, these are the former stores I remember:
*The gray space next to Sears is storage. I don't think it was ever leased.
*I think the ISD space was some sort of clothing store.
*Bay City 8 theaters swallowed a couple storefronts over time to add two more screens in the late 1990s, and then expand the lobby in 2009. The lobby gobbled up what used to be Pac Sun and was previously a shoe store (FootAction USA, I think).
* f.y.e. was Record Town. It still has a Saturday Matinee sign inside.
*Three vacancies to the right of America Eagle, L-R: Pearle Vision (formerly NuVision), Wilson's Leather and B. Dalton. Pearle Vision and B. Dalton both closed in 2009, and the Wilson's space had a couple temporary tenants.
*To the right of Bath & Body was Lerner, which closed ca. 2003. Lerner also took up the Justice space; for some reason, the remaining 2/3 of the store just can't seem to hold a tenant. Over time, it's been Campus Den and various other temporary stores.
*Gift Barn (formerly Red Barn) was a Lane Bryant.
*The area around Hot Topic used to be two storefronts that faced out into the JCPenney wing. One was AfterThoughts and the other was last used as a scrapbook shop. After both closed, they were redivided as seen.
*Auntie Anne's and the space behind it used to be a sort of semi-arcade that had console games set up in it.
*The spaces above Zales were GNC's first location and a suite that was never leased. This whole area was also redivided to make a new Zales and a gift shop that's now closed.
*Christopher & Banks was Braun's.
*Hollister was a gift shop called Stadium, and I think a clothing store before that. It might have been a Limited; I know there was one in the mall somewhere.
*Deb used to be Fashion Bug, which consolidated with a store across the street.
*Dunham's was always there, but it was only 2/3 this size at first. The other 1/3 was a dollar store, a 1/2 Off Card Shop and the 2nd location for Red Barn.
*Bon Worth was originally K-B Toys and later the 2nd location for Red Barn.
*Media Replay has been various little shops over time, none of which I remember.
*The L-shaped space to the left of Avon has never been leased.
*Sveden House Buffet took the triangular space below Avon, the skinny space next to that, and 1/3 of what's now Old Navy. Later, the triangular section became a Sylvan Learning Center. There was very briefly a scrapbook shop in the lobby of the old Sveden House, but the rest has never been leased since it left in the late 1990s.
*Old Navy took the former location of Deb, the back end of the former Sveden House, and a previously-unleased mini suite.
*Shoe Department (formerly Shoebilee!) gobbled up a space that used to be Campus Den and was something else before that.
*The space to the left of Shoe Department was Finish Line.
*GameStop was EB Games.
*The space below Regis has never been leased. I remember a Josta vending machine set into the wall here.
*Younkers was Prange's when the mall opened in 1991.
*World Nails expanded at some point, taking over a suite that probably was unleased before.
*Kay Jewelers was JB Robinson.
*CJ Banks isn't original, but I can't remember what used to be here.
*Tapper's Gold was Foot Locker, then a local store, then Foot Locker came back for a short time.
*To the left of Radio Shack was Hallmark. For the 2010 Christmas season, this is a Calendar Club.
*Cingular was Ritz Camera, then a clothing store for a short time. Trade Secret shaved off part of the old Ritz Camera suite.
*The wedge shape to the left of Cingular was Fanny Farmer, then a hamburger shop, then a coffee shop, then Trade Secret.
*Aéropostale was County Seat.
*Perfect Blend was Original Cookie, then Mrs. Fields/Pretzel Time.
*GNC took up two food court suites that I don't think ever had anything in them.
*Along the "food court", working downward from Tilt!, you have a short-lived coney island, a suite that was never leased. Then New York Pizza, a short-lived pizzeria in a VERY long-abandoned Villa Pizza, then the Chinese place, then A&W (later H&W -- no lie), then another never-leased suite. There was a Freshëns Yogurt in the food court at some point, but I don't know where.
*Chen's Buffet was Ciao!
*The space above MasterCuts was Andrew's Jewelers, then another jewelry store.
*And finally, the big L-shaped space was originally Dollar Tree and some never-leased space. This later became a library for a while. The mall tried to get the library to make it a permanent location, but it was turned down. More recently, they tried to get another dollar store in here, but it never opened.
Courtland Center, formerly Eastland Mall, in Burton, MI.
This mall opened in 1968 with three anchors: The Fair (a local store based in Flint) to the west, Federals (a Detroit-based chain) to the south and Woolco to the east. Federals closed in 1977 and briefly became a Robert Hall Village before JCPenney took over. Early key tenants included a Walgreens (later Perry) drugstore, a Winkleman's clothing store, a movie theater and both A&P and Kroger.
When Woolco closed in 1983, the space was split between another Detroit-based chain (Crowley's) and additional mall retailers. The Fair became Mervyns in 1987.
Courtland Center held its own against Genesee Valley until 2000, when Crowley's closed. Old Navy then took the back half of the store, but left the front half vacant. In only a couple years, tenants began emptying out. Still, the situation wasn't too dire yet; the pseudo-food court was still full, and some local stores were doing brisk business. Also, to fill in more space, JCPenney had a home store and, of all things, an intimates store.
By 2003, Tucker Development embarked on a major expansion plan. Old Navy moved within the mall, and both it and the majority of the old Woolco space were re-divided among three big box stores: Staples (in Old Navy's former digs), Dunham's Sports and Jo-Ann Etc. The former two relocated from nearby, while Jo-Ann moved from the former A&P space. JCPenney moved to the former Mervyns after that chain left Michigan in 2006. Steve & Barry's took over the former JCPenney, but it only lasted 7 months. The theater closed, reopened, closed, reopened several times.
Moving from Penney's to Dunham's, these are all the tenants I recall:
*Max 10 is about 2/3 of the former Winkleman's, which was later Manhattan 101. This space was vacant for maybe 6 years. JCPenney "bumped out" the old Mervyn's building some, gobbling up the other 1/3 of Max 10 and what had been a Miracle Ear.
*Payless was Bailey's Bridal.
*Next after Payless was a Claire's, then a GameStop (which was still a Babbage's as late as 2009).
*Next after Famous Footwear was an Afterthoughts, later an Icing.
*Next after Media Replay was an Avon store.
*Flair was a Sibley Shoes, then a clothing store called D Block.
*Kay Jewelers was Fred Meyer Jewelers.
*Above that, from bottom to top, were Fanny Farmer (later Cotton Plus), After Hours, Sbarro and Memories.
*El Cozumel was Aladdin's Castle.
*Going down the right-hand side of the middle wing, from top to bottom, were Duke Communications, Arby's (later a coney island), Dollar Tree and McDonald's. Interestingly, the Arby's was a walkup counter, while McDonald's and Sbarro both had full seating.
*The current Miracle Ear was something else that I forget the name of.
*Below that used to be Merle Norman, which was once only half that size, and later Holographic Designs or something. Both Baskin-Robbins and Carousel Hot Dogs used to be here, but I'm not sure which was where.
*The corner spot was Osterman Jewelers.
* Shoes + More was Lady Foot Locker, which stayed open for at least a few months after the "regular" Foot Locker closed.
* Going from left to right, the next spaces after that were Cotton Plus, Enchanted Woman and the second location for York Country Designs. Cotton Plus was previously Northern Reflections, and York Country was the original location for Rainbow.
* Between Bath & Body and Pearle Vision was a RadioShack.
* Pearle Vision was NuVision, I think.
* To the right of Pearle Vision was Wilson's Leather, later 810 Casuals. Both of these spaces were probably the diner when Walgreens was around.
* The big junior anchor was Walgreens, then Perry Drugs. It closed around 1995 and became JCPenney Home Store.
* From there, going left to right again, were Hard Wear clothing store, Foot Locker, Bo-Rics Hair Salon and DOC Eyeworld (later Lens Crafters).
* Dunham's Sports gobbled up five spaces: Royal Touch, Sports Vault, the original location of Foxy Nails (which, before that, was the original location of B. Dalton), the original location of York Country and one spot that was vacant even in 2002.
* Foxy Nails was Jewel Restore.
* Best Beauty was Global Gifts.
* 810 Casual was Rave.
* The corner spot next to GNC was last used as a music store.
* Between Deb Shop and Valley Tent was Kay-Bee Toys.
* Valley Tent was B. Dalton's second location.
* The big spot next to Finish Line was Marianne, then JCPenney's Intimate department.
* The small spot next to Sears Portrait Studio was Zales.
* Connections was, I think, the first location for Bailey Bridal.
* The center anchor, as mentioned, was Federals->Robert Hall Village->JCPenney->Steve & Barry's.
* The corner spot next to the anchor was Kay Jewelers' old location. Next to it was a clothing store (Lerner?) that was later Campus Den.
* Planet Fitness was Old Navy. Before that, it was f.y.e. (by way of Record Town), Payless and Spencer Gifts (later Sports Vault).
* Rainbow/Kid Spot was Disney Store.
* The next spot after that was Southwest Plus, which was something else previously.
* The corner spot next to Penney's was Hallmark, then a local gift shop. JCPenney's expansion took out another corner store that had been Big Boy but was vacant for about 10 years. The tail end of Big Boy is now a storage area in the bottom left.
And finally, the outside suites:
* Dollar & Party was A&P, then Jo-Ann Fabrics.
* Old Country Buffet and the two spots next to it were all Kroger originally. Old Country Buffet itself was Duff's Famous Smorgasbord until maybe the late 80s. The tiny spaces next to it were a police substation and an alterations shop.
This was the Pearle Vision store in the mall, most likely a NuVision until 1998. At the time this picture was taken, the mall security offices had relocated into here. The security personnel was very nice to me, not only allowing me to take as many pictures as I wanted, but also giving me a couple maps and a Maple Hill Mall shopping bag... and directions to avoid some construction on US-131.

Another shot of Save-A-Lot. Family Dollar was a Rite Aid, and New Vision was NuVision, then Pearle Vision.
The red store on the left was Athletic Attic for a brief period in the late 1990s, and has been vacant ever since, except for some temporary stores around the Christmas season. Before that, it was three smaller stores (a leather shop, a NuVision optical and a cookie shop).
Note the standard issue GNC to the right.
ETA: Music & More closed Summer 2011.
The West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) in New York has a powerful ally in its work to prepare one of its facilities for decontamination. It’s known as the robotic arm, and has a set of jaws, a 600-pound grip force, reciprocating saw, impact wrench, and hydraulic shears capable of cutting pipes up to 3 feet.
The robotic arm begins work this summer to robotically dismantle and remove more than one mile of process piping and nine vessels from Extraction Cell-1, a 57-foot-tall hot cell inside the former fuel reprocessing facility at WVDP. The highly radioactive cell, which only has a ceiling hatch as an access point, is being prepared for decontamination.

I made sure to take a little time while I was in Canada to catch some of these unique trucks- some of the trailer designs are almost exactly the same as ones used in Australia. Not too common in the United States in my experience.

I've Flickr'd before about NuVision's glasses from our trip to the JPL open house in May (here). Basically, each lens is a solid LCD pixel that can turn black to shut off that eye, and by making both turn alternately on and off, faster than you can detect, each eye will see every other frame of video on a screen, and if every other frame of video is from the opposite eye, then you see 3D. In practice, I can see the flickering of the LCDs turning on and off, but only if I'm not lost in whatever I'm looking at. The wireless glasses are battery operated by flat watch batteries, and they sync up via the little IR-detector holes right above the nose, which watch an emitter hooked to the display device. These are a slightly different style than the ones in the JPL gallery. New model maybe.
