Yesterday (Monday May 2) at the Farmer's Loop West Transfer site.
It just so happens there was a front page article in our paper today on the same subject. It said among other things, "[Fairbanks] Residents dumped a total of 163.7 tons of refuse at the borough's transfer stations on Sunday."
What an incredible burden we have become to our planet. I was particularly taken with the Native American inspired imagery painted on the dumpster.
“If you can’t see my mirrors, I can’t see you” - so says the safety notice often displayed on the back of trucks.
These bizarre looking vehicles with their ingeniously adapted load space were a feature around Pushkar where I suppose they were stuffed with animal fodder servicing the nearby camel and livestock market.

A few old shots that I'd not uploaded before. Writing is eating up all my free time at the minute but I'm hoping to get back to shooting again soon!
The G2 star, Eresnewba beta, and distant red giant, Eresnewba alpha, set in apparent alignment (within 15 degrees) as they do approximately every 1024 earth days as viewed from Weber’s world. The seismic activity on the planet becomes uncomfortably intense. The outpost is schedule to be unmanned in a few years as the planet’s orbit becomes increasingly destabilized. The telemetry instrumentation will continue to transmit measurements of the Roche lobe overload (mass transfer due to the proximity of Eresnewba alpha and beta), and the shifting of the barycenter. But I hope to visit again for this spectacular annual event.
Thats a lot of stuff to get in my interior shot of the Opera building in Oslo.
Hopefully the sun to the left manages to balance of the romance on the right...
I really don't know:p It might just explode and reveal a parallel world where there is nothing but romance and opera and the sun never sets...
And if it does... Well I`ll see you there:-)
I’m finding out that when I reach the point of sensory overload, I can go to the greenhouse and just watch things grow.

Sorry about the overload of Turkey Vulture photos! These are the last few from my drive on 23 March 2023. It's most unlikely that I will ever get to see another Turkey Vulture.
I LOVE Turkey Vultures!
Unfortunately, I was somewhat looking into the sun, plus finding it hard to hold the camera steady, BUT .... it was a Turkey Vulture! I had a quick look last year, but no luck. Also, had kept my eyes open on 17 March when I was down in the same area. Again no luck. Actually, both times, I had gone, hoping to at least see a Bald Eagle or two.
I was only with this beautiful bird for 10 minutes total, from first spotting a huge. black bird on a power pole way down the road to when it eventually flew off. In between, it had mainly just sat on top of a different pole, occasionally stretching and flapping its massive wings. No idea where it flew to, as there was no sign of it anywhere. Guess my timing was just good luck.
Over the years, I had seen several Turkey Vultures in Calgary or in the surrounding area, always spotted by one excellent birder or another. I would never have noticed them, flying so very high. In May 2018, I was lucky enough to see them in Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. In 2019, I also saw them in Southern Texas.
"If you’ve gone looking for raptors on a clear day, your heart has probably leaped at the sight of a large, soaring bird in the distance– perhaps an eagle or osprey. But if it's soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it's likely a Turkey Vulture. These birds ride thermals in the sky and use their keen sense of smell to find fresh carcasses. They are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads." From AllABoutBirds.
"What vultures lack in looks, they make up for with brains and an affectionate, fun-loving nature. Ramona VanRiper, Turkey Vulture Society president, can vouch for vultures being sweet and personable because she's known several, including one named Clem. "Vultures raised by humans learn quickly to love and trust us," she says, "and will often respond to human attention long after they have successfully reassimilated into their natural communities." From link below.
Some days go by so quickly, I'm afraid to blink. Others never seem to end. Today was just that. Every time I turned around, there was another project waiting for me.
We took a little trip into the city yesterday and while interesting to see, the din of gridlocked traffic, crowds of theater goers, tourists, wedding parties, panhandlers, and kamikaze cyclists, all conspired to exhaust me with a bit of sensory overload. The three hour drive home brought us to a favorite sunset haunt, where we ran into an acquaintance, who was also there to enjoy a little peace and quiet. That's him on the paddleboard, by the way.
One of the hazards from playing video games at an advanced age is pixel overload, which can lead directly to crossed and wandering eyes--even in dogs.

I hate more than 3 seconds exposures on waterfalls because I always get the blown highlights and loose texture on the water, like this one with Shanghai. That's why I love HP5, with HP5 I can go up to iso 3200 to get to that 1 second perfect exposure, and it behaves so well.

Everything about Proxy Falls in Oregon is an overload. Emotional overload, water overload, moss overload, stunning overload ... breathtakingly overloaded. Photos of this beautiful waterfall don't do it justice because it's so much grander than you can imagine. Had I used Andy as a frame of reference he would be so small in the photo that you would barely see him.
Our 3 day trip to the Columbia River Gorge ended at Proxy Falls and that gave us a few days to practice and be ready for the grand finale. After days spent hiking to a number of waterfalls, several breweries, and a few hours stuck in the snow, we spent the night in Sisters, Oregon at a hotel that made both of us think that we should have been there with girlfriends/wives and not each other (think modern log cabin vibe with jacuzzi and fireplace!). A short jaunt in the car, an easy hike, and a scramble down to the falls and we finally made it to Proxy!
We arrived early so we could have time to figure out what compositions we wanted. The sun stayed behind the trees and out of the way until just after 10:30am, giving us over 2 hours to shoot with beautiful soft light. Once the sun came out we watched as the classic “light beams” came out. Ultimately I decided not to use those photos because I felt they distracted from the stunning waterfall!
Knowing how wet things would be here I had picked up a few extra micro-fiber cloths to ensure I kept the lens clean from droplets. I didn’t want to pull an Alan Chan and find my shots ruined when I got home. I went through every cloth I had but I came home happy and droplet free!

Yes, there are so much beauty around now (almost overloading) but this evening it's raining...so not going to be out with the camera. :) Have a great week everyone!
Yay more robots! This was the concentration swap. I chose @clevy because I love his style and his art made me more comfortable drawing science fiction and fantasy things. Thanks bro! colored pencil on black paper (12×8)

Ok sadly i can not give the code for this model because when i was working on this the code was so massive that my computer couldn't handle it, when i clicked ''export'' my computer would crash for 2 minutes and the code would just not be there :(

I estimated around 43 people were on board this Jeepney - 16 on top, 3 on the back, 20 inside (i Think) and 4 in the cab. This was a private hire and not on public service. Bacolod City, Philippines.

Midtown Toronto is absolutely awful and only keeps getting worse. They said a few condos, then it never ended.
Might be too much to have going on in a single image. This was an old shot from an outing with RZ68 that I had completely forgotten about.
