I realize that this picture is quite different from the ones that I have been posting for the past few weeks. It shows a side of me that most of my Flickr contacts have not seen, and that many will find difficult to understand, especially in Europe. Today is the start of another College Football Season in the American South.
In a few hours, in Athens, Georgia, home of my Alma Mater, the University of Georgia, over 92,000 people will assemble at Sanford Stadium from all over the country to brave the mid-day heat for the first of 12 regular season, Fall Saturday games. If preseason predictions are accurate and the team escapes injuries and other misfortunes, it will then play in early December for the Southeastern Conference Championship in Atlanta, and if the stars really align favorably, the Bulldogs, or “Dawgs”, as they are called by most of their fans, will play for a National Championship in Miami on January 8.
Today will also mark the end of one era, and the beginning of another. In June, the team’s beloved mascot, Uga VI, (pronounced “ughh-uh”) died peacefully in his sleep after serving the team for nine full seasons. The picture that I have posted is a shot of the official commemorative photo that was handed out at the 1999 South Carolina game, which we were fortunate enough to attend with our son and daughter in law.
The tradition of having a purebred white English Bulldog serve as the team mascot began in the 1950’s. For that entire time, the Seiler family of Savannah has selected and supplied the anointed canine, and has traveled to each game with him. In the 1990’s, his grandfather, Uga V, appeared in the movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”, and another was named America’s Best Mascot by Sports Illustrated magazine. Today Uga VII will be unveiled. Here is the official university press release:
ATHENS, Ga. --- The seventh in the Uga line of Georgia mascots will be introduced to the Georgia people on Saturday, Aug. 30, during pre-game ceremonies of the Bulldogs’ season opener against Georgia Southern. “Loran’s Best” will officially become “Uga VII,” when he is introduced for the first time to the Sanford Stadium crowd prior to the 12:34 p.m. kickoff. He will be escorted onto the field by members of the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah who have owned the continuous line of mascots since Uga I took up the mantle in 1956.
Uga VII’s coronation will become official when UGA President Dr. Michael F. Adams slips the new red leather spike collar over his head during the ceremony at midfield. He succeeds his father, Uga VI, who passed away in June of this year. Uga VII will be escorted onto the field by Charles Seiler and two Seiler grandchildren: Margaret Story and Sara Thompson. At 56 and one half pounds, he’ll be second only to Uga VI as the biggest mascot in the line. Seiler said he “has an excellent coat and bears a striking resemblance to his father.” “He’s a great pet, already answers to his name, loves to travel and ride in the car,” said Seiler. “He sleeps in his kennel in the den and is fed Hill’s prescription maintenance dog food at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. Uga VII already loves to sit on the dock by the river and is ready for his first boat ride.”
“Loran’s Best” was originally named for long-time Georgia Athletic Association personality Loran Smith. Seiler said Uga VII has an entire new wardrobe made with the same material as the team jerseys.
Participating in the pre-game ceremony will be UGA Director of Athletics Damon Evans and the Georgia Redcoat Band. University Alumni Association president Trey Paris will also present a proclamation to the Seiler family honoring Uga VI and welcoming Uga VII. Other Seiler family members on the field will be Frank W. “Sonny” and Cecelia Seiler, Swann Seiler, Wendy (Mrs. Charles) Seiler, Shannon and Bess Thompson and their children Tennyson and Seiler Thompson, Todd and Sara Story and their children Anna and William Story. A video tribute to Uga VI will be shown on the stadium scoreboard prior to the official introduction of Uga VII.
Here is Uga VI’s Gravestone Epitaph (he is interred with the others in a special area of the stadium):

Posted this on Insta a while back and forgot to upload it here. Just a shot of 253rd characters that ya'll have seen before (save maybe Jester). Back at school and unfortunately didn't hit my build goals that I set for my winter break, hoping I have time to build again prior to spring break but we'll see. Anyway thanks for stopping by and have a good one!
Postings for Towers have moved to Tuesdays. Also on behance and in the flickr set.

Just posting this image to let all my flikr friends know that I am off to Italy this coming week to visit family and that I will be taking a complete break from flikr for a while.
I'll catch up with everyone in due course but in the meantime, good light and happy snapping.
Posting this from the archives during my summer vacation on the Baltic sea with real blue water waves.
After posting this photo on EBird and asking for some ratings it blew up to 29 five star ratings to become the top photo of the species! Thanks everyone! You can see it here: ebird.org/species/brthum. What I loved so much about this shot is the details, the color of the bird, and the warm lighting.
I felt like posting something a little different today. So I decided to post a photo I took this weekend of our cat, Fiona. I think it turned out pretty cool. I hope that you guys think the same. By the way, have a great week.

After posting a total of eight shots of the fully mature male Orchard Orioles in the last few days, I'm glad a young guy finally sat for his portrait yesterday in Janice's yard!
What a difference that second year makes...see the full mature male below!
posting this in memory of our neighbor. he died in a motorcycle accident this past monday. he had recently moved to our street, so i did not know him very well. he was in in early 30s. way too young. my heart goes out to his girlfriend and his family. i can't even imagine.
hug your loved ones today. life is really too short.
Today, I’m posting six more photos from White Sands. These will likely be the last from the recent trip.
What're your thoughts? When you look at someone's Flickr Stream, does it bother you to have to find the actual art amidst all the Cover Photo tributes? Do you prefer a clean Flickr Stream? Or do you like seeing the tributes as much as we artists like posting them up? :D
Inquiring minds (mainly this one?) want to know!
Just posting to keep in touch. I've be in with a cold for the past 3 days & expect to be for the next couple. February 18, 2017 in Troy, New York, USA. The icicles above my garage were so long, I was afraid they might hit the roof of my car as I backed out or that, if they fell, they might damage it! In knocking them down, one fell on my thumb, jamming the nail. The largest was approximately 12 inches long.
Posting late today (around 12:15 noon), as after a grand total of only eight hours sleep over the previous three nights, I had no choice but to turn off all alarm clocks and sleep till I woke today! It's only 1C and overcast, to reach 4C this afternoon, so no tempting sunshine, which is good, as I have some really important things to see to today - things that do not include photography : )
I took this photo of a beautiful Iris flower at the Reader Rock Garden on 24 June 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. I always like seeing Irises - such graceful flowers.
"Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris." From Wikipedia.

When I was posting on Instagram many years after I snapped this photo, I recall that tent views with feet became very popular. There was even a parody account that profiled people doing this. Now, I see that there is a stock image category for these "unique" snaps. IMO, sometimes I think the photo shouldn't be about you; it should be about the view.

So, after posting the picture I called "Gateway to Narnia" I had to go back and see where that road led. The Pink Gateway led to a Pink House!
I could have been arrested though.
It leads to an untenanted, but in-use farm belonging to Mrs. Coggins.
There is a security system there, and apparently my presence was detected. I was met on my way out by a burly fellow in a truck whose main concern was that I wasn't hunting, but the two cameras told him the story and he waved and continued up the driveway.
When I got to the gate, Mrs. Coggins herself was there and challenged me. She was quite gracious however when I explained what I was doing and I gave her my card and told her I'd send her my shots.

Ponte Vecchio, Florence
A slightly earlier shot than the first posting.
As mentioned in a previous posting the Vasari Corridor can be seen on the far side (East side) of the bridge. It’s the long block running the full length of the bridge above the shops.
In the middle of Ponte Vecchio, the corridor is characterized by a series of panoramic windows facing the Arno, in the direction of the Ponte Santa Trinita. These replaced the smaller windows of the original construction in 1939, by order of Benito Mussolini. The larger windows were installed for an official visit to Florence by Adolf Hitler to give him a panoramic view of the river.
Shall be posting an Image a day for the next year, 365 (or 366 if it is a Leap year...not checked!!).
The Format will be different...some images have been shown before, some are new...... At the moment I am now starting a "New" Project.....Well it is "New" for me, although it has been done before by many, many People too!!!.
I will follow the direction I have chosen but there is plenty of room for me to chop and change at a later date...I guess it depends how I feel about it at a later date.
This Project will now give me the time to work with other ideas I am playing with. There will still be months in which I post other pics too from themes I have worked with in the past......I have just made a little more time and space available to me.
So hope you like the changes.......
Hey guys, I'm really late posting this but I wanted to share with you all this release in case you guys missed it as well as some news about the lack of news/updates from ISON lately.
First off this new release is still available at Collabor88. It's the ribbon set which comes with a detachable sweater and ribbons. The ribbons are bento animated to "move with the wind". There are 12 colors as well as 3 bonus colors in the fatpack. The included sizes are maitreya, physique, hourglass, freya and physique.
Secondly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all your support. I've been going through some creative/personal struggles related to my work and Second Life. I have recently decided to go back to school for my personal growth and that has taken up most of my time. I think my work here has suffered as a consequence and I apologize for that. I promise that going forward I will be working harder to keep you guys updated as well as bringing you guys the kind of creation you guys expect and deserve.
Thank you so much!
xoxo Harry
Posting for Tony's once over in the group "I am no expert". Image just converted to B&W, played with tones and cropped to 16:9.
I hope you don't get sick of me posting these telephone boxes.
Sometimes in my head I think that I might be repeating myself. But I have an ever-increasing fascination with what happens in these telephone boxes, that deepens with every such image I create and ponder on.

I'm posting this because of a post by Lynn. lynnespo181 and the link she provided about portrait photographer Lee Jefferies. I'm including the link as well. blog.flickr.net/en/2017/11/28/honoring-lost-angels
This is a picture of James. I met James while walking around the Flying J Truck Stop in Thousand Palms, California. He rides his bike and says he lives in the desert. He was filling up plastic jugs with water. He was very nice, I asked to take his picture and he said, "sure why not, and chuckled". I took several photos thanked him, turned and walked away. Then, I turned around and asked if I could buy him dinner, he smiled wide and toothless, and said that would be nice.
Obviously, there is so much more to his situation, a whole lifetime's worth. For me it's just important that we not judge people like James, but see them, talk to them, and give a helping hand when possible.
posting this late for day 4 of roll film week... something about the *weight* of this wall still draws me...
roll film week, day 4, image 2
Bit late posting, not by just two months but 17 years. Pretty close to Halloween so these must be grown for commercial purposes and aren't going to be ploughed under hopefully. Field is in Ladner, BC.
I've been posting mostly photos including GEs, so I figured I'd post an EMD photo before the EMD police came after me.
This past Sunday, I made a run up to Moncton, with the goal of possibly shooting either IANR 3811, or GTW 4623, or maybe both. The 2 units had came down within the previous few days. I was certainly surprised though when I saw both paired up together.
The Iowa Northern and Grand Trunk EMD 4 axles work the CN Moncton Gordon Yard morning west side job known as CN 541. This yard job for the past couple of years has used 6 axle EMD or GE locomotives, however they have gone back to 4 axles in recent times. Unfortunately this job doesn't make it out of the yard, so the only way to see this pair currently is to stand in this one open spot that has been slowly getting taken over by nature within the past few years.
Hey i'm new on this community
thanks for the support on this page
it would be great if we could follow us back.
As soon as i can i will be posting new photos.
Posting a few photos from the great outdoors after a short absence from Flickr.. My Woodpecker Suet block finally attracted a woodpecker. Morgan County, Alabama - 2019
Posting something a little different (although perhaps this was a little waterfall in warmer months.)
My friend, Steve, front points over an ice bulge in Huntington Ravine, Mt Washington, New Hampshire, circa 1975.
The original was a 35mm slide taken on my diminutive Rollei 35 camera and transferred to digital with a homemade slide copier.
Disregard the EXIF Data.
I posted this earlier and it was darker and more dramatic looking. I happen to look at it on a different screen and found it to be too dark and on some screens might be almost back. I reprocessed the image and lightened it up and while on my computer screen I prefer the first version, some may find this easier to view.

Will be posting couple of colored images soon. Stay tune. :)
Still posting old material until new adventures arise.
This is Real Madrid's Bernabéu stadium in 2015 which is being rebuild right now (2021).
Great game yesterday in EURO2020: Portugal - France (2-2). Incredible amount of quality on the pitch. Karim 2x and CR7 2x, like in the old days.
Who will win the tournament? The French probably have the best players but I like England too. Very fresh and dynamic.

Posting the first of two shots today taken 'into the sun'!
Posted primarily for inclusion in the Class 68 album for a livery shot, TPE liveried 68020 'Reliance' ticks over at York before taking out 1T31, the 12.00 departure to Scarborough.
Posting this one in conjunction with the end of 2014. Good shooting to you all and look forward to seeing your new images in 2015. Wayne aka fotograzio
1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster
Further to posting the steering wheel and dash board the other day, here is the rest of the car, which didn't actually sell at the auction last September so it may still be up for sale.
"Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 saloon whose all-independently-suspended running gear it used, the 190 SL did not enter production until January 1955, the delay being caused by alterations aimed at strengthening the saloon's shortened platform to compensate for the open body's reduced stiffness. Mounted on a detachable subframe along with the four-speed manual gearbox, front suspension and steering, the power unit was a 1,897cc overhead-camshaft four - the first such engine ever to feature in a Mercedes-Benz. Breathing through twin Solex down-draft carburettors, the M121 unit produced 105bhp at 5,700rpm, an output sufficient to propel the 190SL to 60mph in 13 seconds and on to a top speed of 107 miles per hour."
