Almost mid July in Nebraska. This means ... Boilermaker...
It was 102 when I left Kearney. Hot Humid and uncomfortable. But when storms come, I'm not going to miss these special photographic opportunities. You can always count me in with camera in hand.
Had a moderate threat for severe weather on this day to the south and east of South Central Nebraska. Knowing this, Hwy 6 east through Hastings and then South of Clay center was battle ground for storms to develop. I was in position, but this day would be a bust as the storms would cap and no strong development came out of these storm cells.
I took advantage of what light & storm there was.... and went to town. Click Click Click!

My sixth entry to the Iron Forge 2025! Here, I used two seed parts (mudguard that has only one wheel arch) to create the pockets.
I won't pretend to know a lot about pool, but I know the black ball should go in last, making that yellow ball a tricky shot.. hence the title!
I would have liked to build it out a bit more, but did not have enough of so many of the essential parts...
Alternate title: "I ran out of bright green".
to get on the road and hug it for a shot...loved the way the sun is setting on the tree stump :)
...lol it's late...Please no invites...save them for someone else!!
Have a great Friday...hope to catch up later today...

A bolt lands just a few miles away from my position near Vekol Valley on August 28th. Was a second one to the right that was sadly mostly off-camera, hence a nice vertical crop for this one! Thankful for this night as missing the past few days has been rough...I knew where I shoulda been yesterday, but went against my gut stupidly. Bumming today about it but that's how storm chasing is...ups and downs. Hopefully some good storm days coming up!
Me and Andreea were down at the Guildhall on Friday, taking pictures of a fashion show called When Kafka met Kahlo being put on by our friends Battenberg-Cartwright.
This was taken just before the show began.

15/06/2011Coca-Cola is marking its milestone 125th anniversary with a fabulous 1950’s-style pop- up soda bar in Selfridges, London, for a limited run of six weeks from Friday 17th June. Positioned in the women’s street department on the ground floor, the soda bar pays homage to Coke’s first ever soda bar, established in Selfridges back in 1926. The Soda Bar will be manned by 50’s styled waitresses, who will be serving perfectly chilled Coca-Cola in beautiful limited edition ‘Hutchinson’ bottles, specially re-created to mark the company’s 125th anniversary. Situated in the busy women’s fashion department, the soda bar will provide the perfect opportunity to stop and enjoy a cool refreshing drink after a hard day’s shopping. The Hutchinson bottle, first created in 1899 is available at Selfridges to buy exclusively alongside a collection of heritage bottles inspired by different shaped Coca-Cola bottles during the brand’s 125-year history. Tanya McMullen, Grocery Buying Manager, Selfridges comments "Like Selfridges, Coca-Cola has a lasting heritage and it is exciting to be able to offer a contrast to the limited edition bottles of more recent years with a celebration of the original designs. The soda bar gives Coca-Cola the opportunity to showcase one of the brand's most celebrated eras, as well as provide some theatre for our customers." Zoe Howorth, Market Activation Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain, explains: “2011 is an incredibly significant milestone for Coca-Cola, as we’re celebrating 125 years of happiness in a bottle. The 1950s, pop-up Soda Bar at Selfridges is a great way for us to thank our drinkers and partners, who have made Coca-Cola the iconic brand it is today in Great Britain.” The Soda Bar will land in Selfridges on Friday 17th June and will remain in store for 6 weeks.- ‘From Pop Star, to Pop Bar, Myleene Klass launches Coca-Cola Soda Bar at Selfridges to mark the brand's 125th Anniversary. The 1950’s-style pop-up soda bar will be in the 'Spirit' fashion department of Selfridges, London, for a limited run of six weeks from Friday 17th June.’ - ENDS - For further information please contact:Gemma Bell at Lexis PR on 020 7908 6517 gbell@lexispr.comStacey Pinkus 020 7908 6502 spinkus@lexispr.com Notes for EditorsThe Coca-Cola story began on 8 May 1886 when a pharmacist named Dr. John Pemberton carried a jug of Coca-Cola syrup to Jacobs' Pharmacy in downtown Atlanta, where it was mixed with carbonated water and sold for five cents a glass.

By no means my best photo, but it is worth the upload at the moment for something a bit different and the fact that I simply have had no time to process anything lately... The foreground is way too dark for my liking, but will get a better shot some day soon I am sure!
The Grose Valley is a rugged valley in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. It has been formed by the Grose River, the headwaters of which are in the Mount Victoria area. The valley is located between the two major routes across the Great Dividing Range, the Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road.
The Grose River has cut a deep gorge through the area as it makes its way east towards the Hawkesbury River. Sheer sandstone cliffs standing hundreds of metres above the river make for spectacular scenery and can be viewed extensively from the Blackheath area, where there are a number of accessible lookouts, the best known being Govetts Leap. The valley can also be viewed from lookouts near Bells Line of Road and points outside Mount Victoria.

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.

♪ ♫ He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother ♪ ♫ ~~ by The Hollies..
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
By talking to Jean-Paul Mendy (IBF #1), and seeing the confidence he possesses, you'd almost think that he was the champion defending his title on Saturday night, rather than the other way around. Few fighters, in his position would be able to possess such a calm and collective demeanor, but for Mendy his fight against IBF Super Middleweight Titleist, Lucian Bute, in Bute's home country of Romania, seems to be just another day in office. Mendy challenges Bute this Saturday night at the Romexpo in Bucharest, Romania. The bout is promoted by EuroPlstar boxingus Computers S.R.L. and Interbox in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing.
"Training camp was very good, I worked very hard for this fight, and I am ready to go Saturday night," stated Mendy.
While Bute is considered by many to be the top super middleweight, and one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world, Mendy says he doesn't see anything in particular that overly impresses him.
"I have had a very long career in the sport, and seen many different fighters. I competed in the Olympics and have yet to be beaten as a professional. To me Lucian Bute is just another fighter. The only difference is that he is a champion, and for that I'm very happy that I have this opportunity to finally fight for a world championship."
The fight Saturday night will be only Bute's second as a professional, and first as world champion in his home country of Romania, and a raucous crowd is expected to be on hand. Again though, Mendy is unfazed, if anything, he is excited about it.
"I have been to Romania before and I really liked the country and the people so I am very much looking forward to fighting there. I expect everyone there to be cheering for him, but the ring that night will be just like any other ring I have fought in. The fans, whether they are for me or against me, will stimulate me, and I will feed off their energy. I know that as long as I am myself and box like I know how, I will be victorious in this fight."
Bute (28-0, 23KO's) vs Mendy (29-0-1, 16KO's) is scheduled for twelve rounds and will be for Bute's IBF Super Middleweight Championship. The bout is promoted by EuroPlus Computers S.R.L. and Interbox in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing.

If something is at eye level, it is positioned at approximately the same height as your eyes.
"Eye Level" is a 1972 single by the Simon Park Orchestra. It was produced originally for the De Wolfe Music Library and selected by Thames Television to be the theme tune for their Netherlands-based detective series Van der Valk.
The tune became popular with audiences and Columbia Gramophone Company issued it as a single (catalogue number DB 8946) with the theme to Granada Television's drama series Crown Court, entitled "Distant Hills", on the B-side. The record entered the UK chart for just two weeks in late 1972. Almost a year later, the record was re-issued and in September 1973 it became a hit, with four weeks at No.1 and a further 20 weeks in the top 50. Total sales were 1,005,500, gaining the award of a platinum disc and becoming one of the 12 best-selling singles of the 1970s.
This image is the forth in a series of pictures showing Red Lechwes defending themselves against a pack of Wild Dogs. To understand the whole scene I hope you go back and read the descriptions in the other recent posts.
On that day while I was a watching the positioning of the animals in the open marsh area, all of a sudden one of the antelopes came leaping out of nowhere. He was not being chased by the dogs. It seemed that he was repositioning himself on the field or merely showing his strength and prowess. No matter what the reason, he was elegant and powerful.

The little lady and I set off on another adventure: this time to Seoul Grand Park Zoo! It's huge. I mean HUGE. You have to take a trolley car to get there. We also went on an especially hot day, so you can imagine the smells we endured. Monkeys are generally cute, unless they're flinging feces... or locked up in the Sing Sing of zoos with the longing eyes of a child sans legs watching all the other kids run in the park. i just wanted to give it a hug.
From Wikipedia:
Seoul Grand Park is a park complex to the south of Seoul, South Korea, in the city of Gwacheon (과천시).
Seoul Grand Park has numerous facilities, including:
* Hills and hiking trails
* Seoul Grand Park Zoo
* Children's Zoo
* A rose garden
* SeoulLand amusement park
* Seoul Museum of Modern Art
The attractions all have separate admission fees. Line 4 of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway stops at Seoul Grand Park Station. A free shuttle bus from the station visits the art museum and upper park entrance.
Thanks for checking it out!

I was photographing the Torre de La Martina from the Main Square (Plaza Mayor) in the town of Ayllón, Segovia, Spain, using my 400mm telephoto lens, without a 1.4x or 2.0x multiplier.
The tower, which was part of the original medieval wall, over 1,000 years old, stands on a high plateau a few dozen meters above the average height of the current town.
Later, a few hundred years ago, a bell tower in the form of a belfry was added, like those found on many Christian churches.
When I went to edit the photo, I noticed that the bell on the right had a kind of symbol engraved on it.
When I zoomed in with Photoshop, I saw that it was a Calvary (or Golgotha) carved in relief.
Even the wooden piece directly above the bell, which acts as a yoke or counterweight to help the bell complete full rotations around its horizontal axis, had the date of its restoration branded on it in Roman numerals:
"A.D. MMXX" (meaning the year 2020).
Then, using Google Maps, I measured the distance from where my camera was positioned in the Plaza Mayor of Ayllón to the La Martina watchtower.
It was a total of 233 meters (764 feet).
The lens's accuracy, combined with the camera's resolution, is not too bad!
LAS CAMPANAS DE LA TORRE DE LA MARTINA (1)(2), 2025
Yo estaba fotografiando la Torre de La Martina desde la Plaza Mayor en la localidad de Ayllón, Segovia, España, usando mi teleobjetivo de 400mm, sin un multiplicador 1.4x no 2.0X.
La torre, que formaba parte de la muralla medieval original, de más de 1.000 años de historia, se alza sobre una alta meseta a unas decenas de metros por encima de la altura media de la actual población
Posteriormente, hace unos cientos de años se le instaló un campanario en forma de espadaña, como las que tienen muchas iglesias cristianas.
Cuando fui a editar la foto, me di cuenta que la campana de la derecha tenía una especie de símbolo grabado en ella.
Al hacer zoom con mi Photoshop ví que se trataba de un calvario (o gólgota) grabado en relieve.
Incluso en la madera que hay justo encima de la campana, que hace de yugo o contrapeso, para ayudar a que la campana dé vueltas completas alrededor de su eje horizontal, estaba grabada a fuego la fecha de su restauración, en números romanos:
"A.D. MMXX" (Que significa año 2020 de nuestra era).
Luego, usando Google Maps, medí la distancia desde donde estaba mi cámara, en la Plaza Mayor del Ayllón, con la torre Vigía La Martina.
Daba un total de 233 metros (764 pies).
¡No está nada mal la precisión de la lente, combinada con la resolución de la cámara!
