The fantastic bronze sculpture of Preston North End hometown hero, Sir Tom Finney.
Unveiled in 2004, the sculpture, by Preston-born Peter Hodgkinson, is cleverly positioned within a fountain which depicts an iconic scene from football history.
It was a Saturday afternoon in 1956 and Preston North End were playing away to Chelsea at their Stamford Bridge ground in London.
After a spell of heavy rain, some areas of the pitch were somewhat waterlogged and perhaps in the modern era the game, would have been abandoned. However the match continued unabated.
On one of his many marauding runs down the wing, Sir Tom, or back then just plain old Tom Finney, slid across the waterlogged pitch splashing up a wall of spray in his wake.
Photographer John Horton was in the right place at the right time and an iconic football image was made. His photograph, now known as The Splash, won the Sports Photograph of the Year for 1956.
The sculpture that was inspired by that famous sporting moment resides at Deepdale, the home of Preston North End.
The photograph can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/rpsmithbarney/13459575884 at the Preston digital archive.

Explore #1 - Highest Position, October 3rd. Thanks everyone!
Earlier this week, the central California coast was blessed with its first real sunset since the summer marine layer began way back in May. That light caused a furor around the Bay Area, with lots of photogs hoping that the winter sunset season had begun.
So it came as no surprise when this past week I received a flurry of text messages asking how the evening clouds looked here at the coast in Santa Cruz. But sadly, the entire week was crystal-clear and cloudless. Until Friday night that is. A few clouds started to build, but nothing to get too exited about. Nevertheless, I knew there were some keen shooters out there, so I got in touch with Jave and David, and talked about the clouds a bit.
Both guys decided to roll on out to the coast to shoot Natural Bridges even if it meant shooting in less than spectacular conditions. As we got to the beach however, it became apparent that the sky was going to BLOW UP (to use the appropriately Jave vernacular). When the color did arrive, it was so full and beautiful that it caused us to lose all rationality and run around like chickens, scratching in the sand and shooting shooting shooting.
Afterward we kept talking about how it was the best light we've ever seen at NB (either in person or in photos). Simply amazing.

positioned the moon just out of frame to create a lens flare.
can you spot the andromeda galaxy? hint: it's that tiny yellow smudge in the lower left. that (relatively) small smudge is 2.5 million light years away, which means its light passed through my lens after a 2.5 million year journey. that's right about when we figured out how to use rocks as tools. literally.
taken at 9000ft from the top of mammoth mountain, in the early, early morning of july 4th.
Same shooting position as yesterday's posting. The left edge of this photo is the right edge of that photo.
I increased the saturation of red, but minimized its luminance. I maxed out the saturation of blue and maxed out its luminance. Also did some slider gymnastics: maxed out shadows, maxed out contrast, and increased brightness to 0.34; all in Photos for Mac OS.
Ditto on everything else from yesterday's posting.

Blueberries is very healthy all the time :-)
Here we enter the macro world with a bokeh capture of an amarican blueberry in Norway.
Wikipedia:
Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries and grouseberries. Commercial "blueberries" are native to North America, and the "highbush" varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s.
Blueberries are usually prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters (3.9 in) to 4 meters (13 ft) in height. In the commercial production of blueberries, the smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild"), while the larger species are known as "highbush blueberries".
The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1–8 cm (0.39–3.15 in) long and 0.5–3.5 cm (0.20–1.38 in) broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish. The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters (0.20–0.63 in) in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark purple when ripe. They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the "bloom". They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit in the middle of the growing season: fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as altitude and latitude, so the peak of the crop, in the northern hemisphere, can vary from May to August.

St George's Hall
In 1969 the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner expressed his opinion that it is one of the finest neo-Grecian buildings in the world.
St George's Hall stands 169ft long and 74ft wide with a tunnel vaulted ceiling – the largest of its kind in Europe. The ceiling is supported on massive red granite columns, with figures portraying qualities Victorian Liverpool aspired to – art, science, fortitude and justice.
The Hall houses a priceless Minton mosaic tiled floor of 30,000 tiles. When the unique floor was uncovered, in 1954, to mark the Hall's centenary, more than 100,000 people queued to see it.
The Hall is also home to a concert organ second only in size to the organ in the Albert Hall.
In 2004 the hall and its surrounding area were recognised as part of Liverpool's World Heritage Site.

Queen Victoria
(1819–1901)
by Thomas Thornycroft, 1869
Bronze on a granite pedestal.
This striking sculpture of the young Queen Victoria riding side-saddle was commissioned to match the one of Prince Albert already completed by Thornycroft and unveiled in 1866. The Queen's hat is generously plumed, and, appropriately for this position outside St George's Hall, she bears the St. George's riband as a sash across her breast.
In a description from the Art Journal, the horse is seen as "full of impatient action, which tells on the sway of the figure; an effect difficult to express well in sculpture."
The Queen holds what looks like a small sceptre, but is actually the handle of a riding crop, the rest of which has been lost. The drape of her voluminous skirt can be seen in the right-hand profile.
The companion piece, towards the other end of St George’s Steps, is the equestrian statue of Prince Albert.

Before the latest snowicane hit our beloved state, my wife and I made a quick sojourn to see how various wildlife was anticipating what was to come. For whatever reason, within a few miles out of town, we were able to spot a half dozen eagles flying about. A couple of them were carrying Florida maps, not sure what that was about.
I saw one eagle flying toward our vehicle but by the time I had stopped, grabbed my camera and opened the door, all I was able to snap was an in-focus shot of his posterior. But before I could climb back into our vehicle, this one came from out of the western skies and I was a little better prepared.
When I photograph flying eagles, I try to get different positioning of their wings. If I am close enough like for this photo, wings in an open position show off the wonderful texture and color of their feathers.
Not everyone shares my enthusiasm for eagles. I laughed one time when I posted an eagle shot on a site and a fellow from Alaska was not very impressed. He said in their area eagles were considered a nuisance and looked on as just more colorful crows.

Song Thrush / turdus philomelos. Leeds, Yorkshire. 18/03/25.
Close study of a Song Thrush foraging on a patch of rough grass, late afternoon. Usually an unobtrusive bird as it goes about its business, yet choosing high, prominent positions from which to blast out its repetitive song in the breeding season. Sadly, there was no song that day!

I leaned over the barrier and pointed my lens into the canyon with the river running through it one day at Yellowstone. I loved the play of textures, colours, and light that the shaft of sunlight, rock, dark water, whitecaps, and churning foam made.
The dramatic cinammon coloured splotches visible on the ryolite canyon wall are formed when iron in the ryolite is exposed to moisture and oxygen.
Ryolite is an igneous volcanic rock of silica rich composition. The mineral composition is usually quartz, sanidine, and plagioclase. Ryolite is found in about 9 areas in the U.S., including Yellostone and Crater Lake National Parks.
