I sometimes "pinch" myself to convince me I am not dreaming... "This *IS* happening!". So glad. Want to share the joy with the world
The grackle seemed extremely annoyed that I was taking its picture while it was having a bath....
" Have you no decency sir?"
I wanted the stillness of the morning fog to show very little. I want a person to keep looking through those gates and determine themselves where the path goes.
un petit trucage... pour le plaisir :D
for the record, this idea is not mine!!! :D
je crois que tout a commencé ici
Please look at the center ... it could be mesmerizing. ;-)

Scan from costco, this is my first time trying the service. Also first time trying kodak b400wcn, overall I'm fairly impressed with both.

Ju-287
Please watch this and many other fantastic creations here: www.flickr.com/photos/einon/
I have already built some Luft46 projects, like the Blohm + Voss P.188.03, but I wanted to build a different project this time. The Ju-287 was a German test-bed bomber built in the end of the war, but the Germans were developing new and more advanced versions like the EF-140.
The real story:
This Ju-287 version is the EF-140, a prototype only built after the war by the Soviets. The first flight was in 1948, using two Klimov VK-1 jet engines. If the WW2 had continued, it might have been built by the germans and used as a tactical bomber against England and the URSS.
Alternate Story (what if? 1945-47)
The prototype was powered by two BMW 109-018 jet engines, featured a revolutionary forward-swept wing and, like other bombers built by Junkers, it carried a pressure cabin housing the three man crew. The defensive guns were all remotely controlled.
Operationally, the plane was called Ju-287 A-5. A small squadron of 5 Ju-287s A-5 operating from Norway, each plane armed with two Hs 296, tried to sink the soviet battleship Sovetsky Soyuz in 1946. The battleship eventually was hit two times but managed to survive and return to Murmansk. Two Ju-287 A-5 bombers were shot down during the attack. The fast bomber was also used with great success against the Soviet army, being too fast for the soviet fighters to catch up. This led the soviets to develop mixed rocket-and-propeller fighters to defend it´s troops.
In May 1947, a few weeks before the “end of the war”, a total of 350 Ju-287 A-5 were used in the Second Battle of Britain. Half of them were lost in less than a week, most to the new British jet fighters like the De Havilland Vampire and the Gloster Meteor.
Henschel Hs 296 Flying bomb (invented by me)
The Henschel Hs 296 was a radio-controlled flying bomb carrying a 750kg armour-piercing charge. The bomb was developed from the Fieseler Fi 103 Flying bomb (also know as V-1) and was guided to the target using a “Tonne-Seedorf” TV guidance system built for the Hs 293D. It had a range of 30km and was propelled by 2 Schmidding SG 34 solid fuel rocket boosters (1,200 kg for 10 seconds each).

____________________________________________________________________________
Users of the English version of Flickr may have got the botton " try our new experience Beta"
This is an incredible regression .....once again
No longer any white space underneath pictures for comments, description, invitations etc....
Everything is gathered in a tiny sidebar to the right of the photo in the Lightbox
All features that allow interaction and sharing have gone so groups might also disappear ......
You may take a look here

______________________________________________________________
We had got used (more or less) the first changes, but this time, it is a
total scuttling of Flickr and of its spirit of sharing :(
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8)
Awards images. are not shown
Invitations are not visible except for the last ones (only in "Recent Activity").They're lost.
For admins group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO
white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations /
flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
Unfortunately everything we can do is absolutely useless ....
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for teens and young using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers using computers and large screens are no longer interesting users.... ( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....)
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
All this is very discouraging
Thank you EDV
Hudson. New "Mom-and-Pops of the LES" signage fun over at Seward Park, Lower East Side, NYC, just now...Please join us for our opening celebration 🎉 for our art installation “Mom-and-Pops of the L.E.S.” on Saturday, July 14th from 1-3 pm inside Seward Park (Essex Street at East Broadway).

Lucky for me, this Waffle House and gas station is right down the road from where I've been working. I usually get there around 6:20, before it starts to get busy. This particular morning, I had time to grab a shot or two of the lights during the 'blue hour'.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend, everyone!...^+^
btw...yes, I was getting some strange looks from people when I set up my tripod in the gas station parking lot...*+^
