My posting schedule has gotten a bit haphazard recently, so here's a three-image panorama I took last week while walking around downtown. Robin recently found a new stitching program that does a much better job with this sort of thing. The old program would have curved this up into a weirdly distorted mess.
This is looking north and east across the Chicago River from the Lake Street bridge, where the river splits into its branches. The Main Stem comes in from the right and splits into the North Branch, which curves off to the left, and the South Branch, which runs beneath where I'm standing and fades off behind me. The point just ahead is Wolf Point, which is important to Chicago history. That was the crossroads point where the first taverns and an early hotel opened in the 1820s and soon became the center of a community that would eventually grow into the city of Chicago. That point is the city's birthplace.
Since the 1940s, Wolf Point has been owned by the Kennedy family. And yes, I do mean that Kennedy family, the bunch from Massachusetts who became a sort of American royalty for a while in the second half of the 20th century. Family patriarch Joseph Kennedy bought the land along with the neighboring Merchandise Mart in 1945 or so. I have no idea how he wound up in Illinois, but I strongly suspect there was some mafia connection. The Kennedys sold most of their interest in the Merchadise Mart in 1998, but they still own a part interest in the Mart's west annex, and they still own Wolf Point itself. It's all traditionally been managed by Chris Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's son. Chris Kennedy ran for governor in the Democratic primary in 2018, and I really wanted to vote for him just so I could say I voted for a Kennedy. But his entire campaign boiled down to "Remember how awesome my uncle and my dad were?" Whatever it was that made Robert so great turned out to not be genetic, and I wound up voting for somebody else.
The Kennedys are currently two towers into building a three-tower condo complex on Wolf Point. The dark glass building on the left is Wolf Point West, a 500-foot tower finished in 2016. The lighter blue glass building partially blocking what used to be a pretty nice view of the Merchandise Mart is Wolf Point East, a 697-foot tower which is being finished right now. Foundation construction has already started on Wolf Point South, which will be the tallest of the three towers. The original plan was for it to hit 900 feet, but I think the alderman talked the Kennedys down on that, so it'll probably top out aroun 750.
Big pile o'parcels taken to the the Post Office today by my lovely boyfriend. They love us at the PO. We don't hold up the queue at all. No no ;)

I loved the 1980's.........
These are photos I’ve taken the past year and a half. It’s mostly stuff from local car meets, long exposures, exploring with b&w film and just all round shooting anything I like.
It's been another long span of not posting anything and even though I was hoping that would change, it hasn't. In any regard, Ed Brice and I went up to Sedona last weekend to hike the Secreet Canyon Trail and here is one of the shots that I took while on the 7 mile round trip hike. I went for B&W on this one as I thought it helped bring out the all the different lines even though there are some beautiful red rock Sedona mountains in the back ground.
Also of note, this is my first post with my new Sony A7. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was going to ditch all of my Nikon gear and put all my eggs in one basket with the Sony mirrorless camera system. As of this post so far I am not regretting that decision one bit. Sure the lens choice for the Sony FE mount isn't nearly as diverse (if sticking with Sony lenses only) but my back sure appreciated it during that 7 mile hike and carrying less than half the weight as before. Only time will tell if I truly made the right decision but so far I am very happy with my choice.

The main reason for visiting Cambridge was to see King's College Chapel.
I must first than two friends, Simon K and Aidan for posting shots from Cambridge and so firing up my desire to visit.
Things fell into place and I found myself on a train last Sunday, and a place on the first tour of the day Monday morning.
I will add more thoughts as I post shots, but this for a start.
Quite the strongest emotional response I have ever had to a building, I had to choke back tears!
All chairs and seating have been removed, so there is just the building.
"Just."
Just a handful of us early visitors had the entire chapel to ourselves.
I followed up, not on purpose, a Japanese lady who was walking round with an i phone of a selfie stick, recording herself walking round the chapel, rather than the chapel itself. Which I know is her choice.
I saw the wonderful glass in the windows of the side chapel, so decided to photograph those too. Took some time.
No restrictions on photography, just don't "use flash on the Rubens" in the chancel. I was told.
In truth, there's more than enough in the Chapel for a whole day, as I'm sure new details would reveal themselves each time you looked.
I walked out into the college grounds, to walk to the bridge over the river. I mean, really, there was no one else out there, and a couple of punts were drifting past, so I wandered round the large square of grass, half of which had been apparently wild flowers, but now cut to look like a rough lawn.
The chapel has a 16th sundial, and marvellous lead drain downpipes. I snap them all.
-------------------------------------------
Begun by Henry VI, completed under the direction of Henry VII, the glass scheme installed under the somewhat-disinterested Henry VIII. 'The heart and soul of early 20th Century Anglicanism' according to M R James, the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols begun here during the First World War helped invent the modern Christmas. The fan vaulting is spectacular, the proportions (300ft long, 40ft wide, 90ft high) almost shocking in their single-minded Perpendicular triumphalism. The Chapel vies with Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals as the best single medieval building in Cambridgeshire, but the vast scheme of early 16th Century glass is undoubtedly the biggest and best of its kind anywhere in the British Isles.

-------------------------------------------
King's College Chapel is the chapel of King's College in the University of Cambridge. It is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture and features the world's largest fan vault.[3] The Chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses and three subsequent decades. The Chapel's large stained glass windows were completed by 1531, and its early Renaissance rood screen was erected in 1532–36. The Chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King's College Choir. It is a landmark and a commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge.
Henry VI planned a university counterpart to Eton College (whose Chapel is very similar, but not on the scale intended by Henry). The King decided the dimensions of the Chapel. Reginald Ely was most likely the architect and worked on the site since 1446.[6] Two years earlier Reginald was charged with sourcing craftsmen for the Chapel's construction.[6] He continued to work on the site until building was interrupted in 1461, having probably designed the elevations.[6] The original plans called for lierne vaulting, and the piers of the choir were built to conform with them.[6] Ultimately, a complex fan vault was constructed instead.[6] Reginald probably designed the window tracery at the extreme east of the church's north side: the east window of the easternmost side chapel, which unlike the Perpendicular style of the others is in curvilinear Gothic style.[6] The priest and later bishop Nicholas Close (or Cloos) was recorded as the "surveyor", having been the curate of St John Zachary, a church demolished to make way for the Chapel.[7][8][9]
The first stone of the Chapel was laid, by Henry himself, on the Feast of St James the Apostle, 25 July 1446, the College having been begun in 1441. By the end of the reign of Richard III (1485), despite the Wars of the Roses, five bays had been completed and a timber roof erected. Henry VII visited in 1506, paying for the work to resume and even leaving money so that the work could continue after his death. In 1515, under Henry VIII, the building was complete but the great windows had yet to be made.
The Chapel features the world's largest fan vault, constructed between 1512 and 1515 by master mason John Wastell. It also features fine medieval stained glass and, above the altar, The Adoration of the Magi by Rubens, painted in 1634 for the Convent of the White Nuns at Louvain in Belgium. The painting was installed in the Chapel in 1968; this involved the lowering of the Sanctuary floor leading up to the High Altar. It had been believed that gradations were created in 1774 by James Essex, when Essex had in fact lowered the floor by 5 1/2 inches,[10] but at the demolition of these steps, it was found that the floor instead rested on Tudor brick arches.
During the removal of these Tudor steps, built at the Founder's specific request that the high altar should be 3 ft above the choir floor, human remains in intact lead coffins with brass plaques were discovered, dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, and were disinterred.[12]
The eventual installation of the Rubens was also not without problems: once seen beneath the east window, a conflict was felt between the picture's swirling colours and those of the stained glass.[13][title missing] The Rubens was also a similar shape to the window, which "dwarfed it and made it look rather like a dependent postage stamp".[14] Plain shutters were proposed, one on each side, to give it a triptych shape (although the picture was never part of a triptych) and lend it independence of form, which is how one sees the Rubens today. The installation was designed by architect Sir Martyn Beckett, who was "philosophical about the furore this inevitably occasioned - which quickly became acceptance of a solution to a difficult problem."[15]
During the Civil War the Chapel was used as a training ground by Oliver Cromwell's troops, but escaped major damage, possibly because Cromwell, having been a Cambridge student, gave orders for it to be spared. Graffiti left by these soldiers is still visible on the north and south walls near the altar.[16] During World War II most of the stained glass was removed and the Chapel again escaped damage.[17]

Jack Daniels Toasts Conventions With Election posters.
Arnold, with help from Yeehaw Industries letterpress of Knoxville, has
launched a campaign for Jack Daniels consisting of wild postings
near the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
I am posting all three for the Portland Post group. The first is straight out of the camera. The second is my original and the third is after a few people had some questions/suggestions.
Lighting: Bare 580 EX II, Camera left, pocket wizards
I just wanted to use enough light to make the subject pop because I wanted to underexpose the rest of the photo for the contrast in the clouds and the desolation of the forest.
The second photo I brought down the sky 1 stop and bumped up the contrast. Then I brought down the overall photo down by a 1/2 of a stop.
The third photo, I cropped, brought down the sky by 1 stop and bumped up the contrast. Then I brought down the subject by a 1/2 of stop. I bumped up the contrast in the overall photo.

Debated posting these or not, but I just love this to much not to. Made my girl a fleece shirt that looks like Houndoom last year for Halloween, and it was super simple and easy to make. I used a pattern from a Simplicity crafts set (number 9520, pattern E) and modified it slightly; using a single layer of polar fleece so as not to worry about finishing edges, I folded the "collar" piece over when I sewed it on, then used that same pattern piece to cut out 3 more section to sew across the back (folding the mid-section partly for each ascending piece), I doubled the leg piece using the gray for the lower half and sewing a simple seam across the middle of the gray section, and for the chest badge I just cut out around a large round object and free-form cut out two "eyes". I just used a simple zig-zag stitch to applique the chest badge and bars down the back on. If you wanted to get more nit-picky, you could add some poly-fil to the accents to make them stand out more, but she thoroughly enjoys hers as a nice winter sweater. The Pokeball is needle felted from 100% wool, natural white and natural black, red is dyed with fruit punch flavored Kool-aid.
I just found out today is Sue, Saving Memories' birthday. She is wonderful and full of humor!

Hope you have a great day Sue!
Apologies for my absence. This may give you a clue as to my whereabouts. If any rail buff can provide info I'd be very grateful.
Posting some more of the horrible dollies I made in 2016! You can see more on my blog: chipinhead.com/category/suzanne_forbes_artwork/action_fig...
After a long spell of reading every thread and examining every posted image, I am going to begin posting mine. Hope I've learned something from you guys and girls! Comments are very appreciated.
A very difficult bathroom for me, loved the tub! Handheld but I can't remember where my lights were, at least 20 shots in here.

Posting three street images from Manaus. This guy was painting a wall but I couldn't help feeling he was entrapped by all the electricity cables.
I'm posting this as i thought it's quite amazing these larvae are partly sociable. I would have loved a Mitutoyo 20x objective on these two photos, so nothing special, just a bit of interesting info if you didn't know.
Pars stridens (stridulitrum): In stag beetle larva, consists of a series of ridges on the coxa of the middle legs. It comprises of a series of oblong teeth and fields of smaller buttons on both sides of the teeth. They are arranged on the hip side turned towards the hind legs.
Stridulation among beetle larvae is the production of sounds made by rubbing a series of ridges on the coxa of the middle legs with the plectrum on the trochanter of the hind leg. Stridulation is likely to be a form of communication between larvae although it is not yet clear, the sounds are possibly directed to other larvae of the same species for the purpose of holding together or expressing claim of space, as the sound increases if the larvae are handled or placed in solitary confinement.
WAV file: Stridulation sound
The plectrum: Is composed from a series of ribs found on the trochanter and can be clearly seen on the hind leg shown below.

Protest against Downer's involvement with Adani's massive reef-wrecking, climate-destroying, mega coal mine in the Galilee Basin on 25 November 2017.
Downer EDI is an infrastructure & construction company which has signed an agreement with Adani to set up and operate the Carmichael coal mine. They've won a $2 billion contract to be the main company responsible for the mine- and they have a corporate office in a building on Collins street in Melbourne's CBD.
The protest was peaceful. There were speeches including indigenous activist Kim Bullimore and Greens federal member for Melbourne Adam Bandt, fresh back from the UN climate conference in Bonn.
Chalk was used to write out anti-coal and stop Adani messages to Downer and Adani on the pavement. About 30 minutes after the protest ended a pavement sweeping machine was brought in by the building management to clean the chalk messages.
