Sporting her unusual 'MESA' dorsal aerial array, Royal Australian Air Force No.2 Squadron's Boeing E-7A Wedgetail, A30-006 heads off from Fairford after appearing at RIAT
Based on the Boeing 737 Airliner airframe and nicknamed the 'Top Hat', the E-7 is used as an AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning and Control) platform.
However she wasn't heading home directly, having been noted 'operating' over the East of England some 24 hours later

Just shy of a 5 minute exposure, a nice lil stop off to stretch the legs in the middle of France.

We watched this sea otter for quite some time. He found several clams that he had a real tough time with. He would try to open some for a very long time - this is just a short clip of this persistent otter. He was well fed by the way!
After a botched attempt at heading out to Hazelwood Lake to catch some sunset shot, Scotty and I decided that it didn't look like a good night for lakeside sunset shooting.
Man, were we wrong.
This wasn't as nice as the one I missed the night before but decent enough to pull off a few shots.
Trade-Off
"Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source - a Sower of Dreams - just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true." Sarah Ban Breathnach
This photo was taken on one of my last trips. Well accompanied by a fellow friend and photographer had the pleasure of visiting some spots I had in my "short list". One of those places was the Chapel of Senhor da Pedra in Miramar ... it was worth it, is indeed a magical place at all levels.
This shot for me represents the Trade-Off between the human and the divine...this place is fantastic!
Wishing you all a fantastic 2017!
Hope you all like it as mutch as i loved to shoot it :)

This is a broad-tail hummingbird at Cherry Creek State Park, at the turnout on the main road below the office. It's taking off and flashing it's ruby colored gorget. I love the details when viewed full-screen. I also love how the green prairie grass behind the hummer gives a nice, smooth, green bokeh.
I took this shot just a split second before this beetle flew off. I believe it is some kind of click beetle. This individual was about an inch long.

I have no exact date for this, approx October/November 2003 ?. All I remember was 45407 as 45157 was coming back off the main line, this is Heywood
Mesquite facing off with Ollie
Quite a shock because Mesquite- AKA Skeeter- is a very peaceable cat! Ollie must have really made him mad!
First off, please no spoilers. I'm only in chapter 4.
I have Arthur sporting some hefty Kurt Russel-like chops, which is what I went with for this figure.
The chops, holster, belt buckle, the bandoleer pouch, and the shells on the bandoleer are made from Green Stuff.
The lapels and pockets on the coat and the straps of the bandoleer, spurs, and holster are made from e tape.
The bit around the hat is made from string.
The coat was made from Lego fabric and is removable.
Besides the eyes, this was 100% painted by me.
What do you think?
Metra UP West #37 races out of Downtown Chicago with a former Amtrak F59PHI leading, still wearing the Surfliner scheme, refreshed by Metra. I saw these units for the first time years ago in California, but didn’t have a good camera until they made it to Chicagoland (5/9/25).

An old Limestone Quarry originally opened around 1900 although these buildings are more modern than that. Its seen better days, but I quite like the dilapidated industrial look. A revisit of this site with Paul as previously we had concentrated on some other comps, while walking back to the buildings following the railway tracks this pov presented itself (As well as others) Lit with the BLS for the foreground and the Klarus for the buildings. It was a cracking night made slightly stressful when packing up, I was not able to find my car keys. A concentrated search was launched retracing our steps, however, nothing, so the careful walk back to the car ignoring any stealth in hope to find them at one of the various fence and gate crossings, Slopes and banks we had scrabbled up and down was our best chance, Luckily they were found about 100m from the car on the side of the road.
Spring has sprung early on the ZZR!
why so early you ask? due to RL being rather horrible due to some medical problems i wanted to see the ZZR Green instead of freezing my lil cotton ball off *giggles*
Thunderstorm just off the beach at sunrise at Hunting Island State Park, SC.
The lightning bolt was a combination of luck and modestly long exposure.
I actually chased this thunderstorm across Georgia and into South Carolina as part of attempting to make from Statesboro to the park in time to shoot the sunrise.

DAIR 3021 hops off the Beresford branch onto the Dakota and Iowa main. The Beresford branch used to be an old CNW line and they used to crossing over the Milwaukee Road just in the background of this photo. To the east of the tracks D&I used to service a grain elevator but it seems they haven't serviced it in quite some time. Around 2021 they ripped out that connecting track and now only about 10ish miles remain left of the line that is now used for car storage as seen here.

Patina for days. Night photo of a Williams pressure water control device with dial still intact on an old abandoned bus. I snuck in a quick visit just before Thanksgiving Day, photographing for two nights in a row in the California desert near the Mexican border. And I managed to stay awake for Thanksgiving dinner the following evening, a great success. Although warm and sunny during the day, by the time I packed up, it was below freezing and I had ice on my windshield. I illuminated the scene with a ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure. Thanks for looking.

I was very lucky this morning to spot this Yellow-crowned Night Heron in the grasses by the pond. I very carefully moved as close as I thought reasonable. It was very still but was watching for prey. It caught one small dark (possible tadpole) but ate it too fast for a picture. I waited, and waited and waited as my feet sank deeper into the wet mud. All of a sudden it perked up and started toward me. I thought it might walk right up to my feet but it stopped and stabbed into the water. Out came a Crayfish and I watched it shake, crush and eat it!
Out shooting tonight with Ryan Dyar in hopes of good light on the mountain. The peak was socked in so we shot the other direction. You can see a hint of snowfall trying to happen out there. I'm hoping for a couple more feet of new snow at least.
No grads, single exposure.

Starting off the new year with some photos to recap our last "get-away" of last year.
The week before Christmas, one of my out-of-town friends and I enjoyed our favorite yearly tradition of visiting the Fantasy In Lights event at Callaway Gardens, in Pine Mountain, Ga.
I let her do all the driving, and thank goodness, as we encountered some foggy conditions on the way! It had recently been very foggy up north, and it seems they wanted to share - and sent some down our way.
Naturally, the Flickrite in me had to grab a few shots! LOL!
