Operator 9 is on the line.

 

Two Bowens Esprit 500 W/S monolights--PC sync to the key light with the fill slave automatically triggered upon fire. On the left of the phone, at about an 8 o'clock angle, I shot through a white umbrella which was about the same level as the subject. The second (fill) light was higher up and maybe 6 feet away at a 5 o'clock angle, shooting into an umbrella facing a wall. The fill bounce off the wall diffused it pretty well overall and allowed me to bring out the gross, vintage-looking, olive-green background a bit more. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I like the results of this experiment.

Visit *LYRICS* Entertainment, step inside the Ballroom where the drinks are free or dine at the Marakin Resort - dip your toes into the pool or chill out at the Bluez Club - then top it off with a Short Black at Cafe on the Park or maybe you prefer a bit of froth on top!

Then there is always shopping for landscaping or that special gift 0r maybe you just want to Elope using the Automatic Minister who is waiting for you now inside the beautiful Renaissance Venue.

El Tungurahua

Al Volcán Tungurahua, 5,023 meters (16,480 ft)  above sea level.

  

Perched on a hilltop behind Baños, just beyond the village of Runtún, this grassy viewpoint is a photographer's dream.

 

On a clear day like this one, I could see Volcán Tungurahua behind me.

 

*I am at 2,660 meters (8,727 ft) above sea level TODAY.

**Climbing to the Tungurahua Volcano Summit, 5,023 meters (16,480 ft)  above sea level tomorrow and the next day (2:00 am to 7:00 am).

In the Sierra region passing from the Cordillera Oriental, in the central pits the active volcano Tungurahua stands out whose cone rises to the south of the deep gap that the Pastaza has broken, following a transverse fault through the Cordillera Real near Baños . Since the day of its most recent eruption, in September 1999, the Tungurahua Volcano has become the most beautiful and impressive tourist attraction in Ecuador, and perhaps, throughout Latin America.

 

The Tungurahua volcano is known as "mama Tungurahua".

 

The province of Tungurahua has the name of this colossus, which houses in its skirts towns such as Baños, presents a unique spectacle, although it announces to the villagers its greatness and destruction in the case of a strong eruption. It is a sight to see volcano activity at night.

 

From different cities in the provinces of Ecuador, they move to know this tourist place. Many times holidays are provided to be able to do tourism throughout the territory.

This is what happens when someone pushes the wrong button on an industrial oven to racks of plastic trays full of meat products. Instead of steam cooking the product, the operator selected roasting....at much higher temperature

I haven’t seen one of these set ups in a long time.

I finally figured out what bothered me about the operators I've made in the past. No camo on helmets or vests. It just didn't flow without it. So I painted some helmets and vests, and here we are, something I can finally be satisfied with

Candid environmental portrait of a cold, and probably bored, operator of one of the rides at the Salthill, Galway amusement park.

In mid May I attended a workshop at Valle Verzasca in Switzerland. A weekend for photographing rocks and water.

 

Expect not much else for the next few days.

Cedar Waxwing, Bombycilla cedrorum. Lifer for me, during a Texas Master Naturalist Bird Hike. Really too small/distant for a good image, and probably the focus (if any) was elsewhere. Call it “painterly”. If I ever get a good shot, I’ll post that.

😃 Happy Sliders Sunday!

Bit of a foggy start to the day in London this morning. This shot was taken at 6.30 looking towards HMS Belfast, with Tower Bridge in the distance.

 

Having experimented for a few weeks with a neutral density setting on my phone, to try and make water look smooth, the Thames actually looked very smooth on this very still morning with just a 1/3 second exposure.

Stretching for the line.

"Dream Operator" by The Talking Heads

 

Hard to forget

It's hard to go on

When you fall asleep

You're out on your own

Let go of your life

Grab on to my hand

Here in the clouds

And we'll understand

In 2016 Czech operator LEO Express ordered net EMU's. The interior of their FLIRT units were in dire need of a renovation and the operator was planning the expand operations to new services, stretching their excisting fleet even more. Eventually the acceptance tests of these new CRRC Sirius units took slightly longer (officially due to the covid-crisis) and by that time LEO Express was bought by Renfe. Renfe cancelled the order and the CRRC Sirius units were left without owner. In 2024 the other large private operator in Czechia, RegioJet, acquired the units. Gradually the units were put into service on the Ústí nad Labem - Kolín route. Since the summer of 2025 all 3 units were active.

 

As a passenger I got to say the units are okay-ish. Somehow they remind me of the danish IC4 units. They looked great as well, but on the inside you could see signs of a different quality. I've been a couple of times on unit 665 001 and I wasn't all they impressed with the quality of the ride and with the sturdiness of some interor parts. However from the outside I'd say they look amazing. The RegioJet livery onto LEO Express' dark colours really fit well. Even better then their normal bright yellow trains. During the summer of 2025 I managed to get unit 665 001 on photo as it made its way to Ústí nad Labem. The city has already been reached, but due to turning around in one of the stations, it would take another 15 minutes until it would reach it final destination.

Old divisions belong to the old world. Spend not a moment more quarreling over them. What is done is done, so much more still to do. Allow yourself to let go of derogatory terms and ableist language.
