Museum at Prairiefire colorful glass exterior as the dawning day bends the light. A museum a natural history melded with art and augmented reality that opened in Overland Park Kansas in 2014 boasts an unique stained glass exterior that is equally a visual fest for those of the photographic persuasion. I was glad my friend and co-worker from Long Island scouted this location that was worth the bitter cold we both endured on that morning. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @visitthemap @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitoverlandpark @visitkansas #omd #microfourthirds @siruiimaging #micro43 #micro43photography
One very frigid mid-west morning last month in Overland Park Kansas a co-worker who hails from Long Island ventured to the Prairiefire section of Overland Park to see and get some images of the Museum at Prairiefire, a beautiful museum with unique architecture that opened in 2014. It was cold but was glad we braved the elements as the Museum at Prairiefire did not disappoint. The stained glass gives the outside of the Museum a unique look and did not disappoint. The museum was closed obviously because my co-worker and I arrived just as the sun was rising as we needed to get to work on that same day. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom #omd #microfourthirds #micro43photography @visitthemap @visitoverlandpark @visitkansas
The start of the Overland Track near Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. We walked along this section of the track to get to other (shorter) walks. The Overland Track takes 6 days - one day ...
Still in Kamloops, I decided to work on the Overlander Bridge, and try to make something of it. As it turned out, the shapes rather than the bridge itself, made the most interesting of the images taken. Creating a kind of window and framing the landscape beyond, resulted in the most compelling of the work that day.
It is also satisfying that the water is back in the Thompson River. For some time now, one could walk quite far out onto sand bars, leaving us wondering about water levels. But, plenty of rain and cooler temperatures seemed to have helped current conditions.

Still need to finish it. Inspired by Missing Brick's tractor, I wanted to do something else that might feel at home in the Hadley's Hope settlement. Going to swap the cockpit for a really boxy one instead.
EDIT: Not sure why the pic is so dark, will fix it when I get home.

The ancient skyline of Istanbul at sunset is mesmerizing. And it surely made an impression on me when I took the revered Güzelhisar ferry (now unfortunately demolished) from the Princes’ Islands back to Eminönü in the summer of 1985. I stayed in Istanbul for one month waiting for the visa for Iran - my planned next destination...
This is a revisitation to an earlier posted picture. I took advice of a friendly suggestion to crop some empty sea from the bottom. Also, I took the liberty to visit another picture of mine from the same ferry where I had another ferry in sight and did some compositing. I thought this might be a nice addition to the Flicker "orange" theme of July.
The pictures were originally photographed on Fujichrome slide film with my Nikon FE camera and 135 mm telephoto lens. I photographed the slides by bracketing them with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the pictures in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz. The slides had some fading issues after all these years, but I love to bring alive old pictures, that have nostalgic meaning for me - and the slide medium has some grainy quality that the digital pictures lack.

It's 112F here today and humid (that's around 40C). Standing here waiting for a the right car to pass made my camera almost too hot to hold and it malfunctioned soon after and shut itself down without warning.
A local treasure filled with walking trails, flowers, wildlife, sculpture from local artists and a Chinese sculpture garden, all for a paltry $3 (used to be free).
I used the 3D portion of Photoshop and placed the picture on "cube wraps." It does the harder work for you. If I had a 3D printer I could make a nice little doodad. :) Happy Sunday!

I think the healthy sounding 14litre Cummins was pushing out a good deal more than 270hp!

Fast moving eastward bound for NoPlatte delights my passion for glint. Add some ancient line poles! No more lines, soon these will be gone.

Willys-Overland produced this car between 1937-1942 though only the 1941-42 models were tagged with the ‘Americar’ name.
Its original powerplant was a 2.2 liter inline 4-cylinder nicknamed as the ‘Go-Devil’ engine. Despite the versatility of that drive train, the Americar coupé became a popular choice for many drag racers to modify as the basis for their race cars utilizing other brands of engines.
Btw, Willys is pronounced as ‘WILL-liss’, not ‘WILL-leez.’
Willys Overland Crossley radiator. Must have been made before 1934 when the company wound up. Still looked serviceable.
