listen: better off dead, bill withers
More live music today. Bill Withers Live from Carnegie Hall is phenomenal begining to end. I'd even call it a national treasure. Bill is still alive and retired - I think in West Virginia, his native state.
My Uncle was a Quartermaster on a PT in the South Pacific during WW2, this is a picture he took of from PT142 while patrolling off of Kudat Borneo
Ruby was very happy and was looking forward to Tea with Sparrow and his mum, she even took some cakes that Maddie had made earlier.
''Now, I am going to remember my manners, and not talk with my mouth full, and try to not talk too much, anyway, Sparrow has many interesting things I like to hear about so I don't want to miss that, bye then, see you later'
Ruby said as she cheerfully left to go next door
A series of mosaics on a wall just off the High Street in Cheltenham Gloucestershire.
Below is a funny story about how & why.
In March 1934 Chapman's Great London Z00/Circus came to Cheltenham. This was a real highlight with many acts & of course animals that would not be allowed to tour today – elephants, kangaroos, polar bears, lions, tigers, black bears to name nut a few.
To advertise the circus a parade went through the centre of Cheltenham but alas some of the elephants broke free & went in search of food. They headed to a seed merchant & pet shops called Bloodworth’s (still exists today 2025) to enjoy the food on offer. One elephant even got stuck in the doorway. There was little damage to the shop & it must have been such a funny sight to see.
Live elephants now banned from entrance of course.
Accelerating and leaving a "back-flip" of water behind.
Life has taken me away from both photography and Flickr for quite some time. I hope to be back on more frequently now and look forward to catching up with all the images of my Flickr friends.
Just a bit of camera tilt fun from inside the downtown Seattle Public Library.

The hallway in the storage facility that holds most of Scott's belongings now, as well as some of mine. It's slight off-centre, but I like the way the workmen at the end of the hallway worked themselves into the photo while the local rock station blasted in the background.
Storing trash receptacles off the ground can make it more difficult for rodents to access food. This design provides an opportunity to use snap traps on the I-beam.

This roll-off has a drum winch and a slide-back bed to pull compactors from Hong Kong's underground areas.
As the Postie disappears up the garden path I have chance to capture the scene... and then run off with the trolley. But it was more heavy and more cumbersome than I imagined so I ran it into a ditch and set fire to it.
You'll never take me alive Copper!
But then reality kicks in... oh, alright its a fair cop Guv.
HK Airport Runway Approach Lighting
An approach lighting system, or ALS, is a lighting system installed on the approach end of an airport runway and consisting of a series of lightbars, strobe lights, or a combination of the two that extends outward from the runway end. ALS usually serves a runway that has an instrument approach procedure (IAP) associated with it and allows the pilot to visually identify the runway environment and align the aircraft with the runway upon arriving at a prescribed point on an approach.
