The most active day of the monsoon season thus far. This photo was taken when conditions were finally calming down. This storm only produced a few lightning strikes and very little rain. A thunderstorm a few hours earlier grew to 50,000 ft tall and produced nearly 100 cloud to ground lightning strikes, very heavy rain, and large hail along Highway 78 between Witch Creek and Santa Ysabel.
Re-editing old photos. This is from 2015 at the Oregon Zoo.
Really loved these clouds and the color they had!!
I was walking through the Sydney Botanic Gardens at lunch today. A man noticed me taking photos and informed me there was a Powerful owl in a nearby, so I had to get a few shots.

Powerfully emotive bronze sculpture positioned at the front of the National Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.
It is one of a pair, the other being The Offerings of Peace. Both by British sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872 – 1953).
In 1915, after the outbreak of World War I, Bayes submitted to the National Art Gallery a pair of 18 inch bronzed plaster figures entitled Offerings of Peace and Offerings of War and the following year he received the commission to produce large bronze versions to flank the museum's main entrance. They were finished in 1923 and installed in 1926.
Both are allegorical sculptures. War holds a staff, a bundle of swords and broken spear shafts.
This statue stands 4. 2 m in height and weights 6 tonnes.

The wide angle lens is the most often used, but also misused, lens in landscape photography. In my article I share with you useful tips for composing powerful wide angle images and I hope it encourages you to go out there and capture the beauty! Please feel free to read the article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: It was one of those scenes I will never forget. We had hiked down into a deep lying river valley and then back up a steep ridge, when we were treated to the spectacle of fast moving rain showers which swept over spotlit black mountain ranges and outcrops, towering over the distant tundra. We found ourselves in one of the most breathtakingly dramatic landscapes, and experienced amazing scenes, but for me this definitely was the most memorable. The Peel Watershed, Yukon Territory, Canada.

On this day there were a number of confirmed tornadoes. This storm in particular was continuously tornado warned for hours. I saw lots of rotation, many cool funnels, one tornado roping out, and one "thing" that was probably an unreported rain wrapped tornado. I was mostly following the storm from behind because I got off work late. When I got within a few miles of the tornado near Bayard, I heard on the radio that the tornado was rain wrapped, so I did the safe thing and turned around. Enjoy the sick mammatus clouds! Clock time on the meta-data is wrong.

The Powerful Owl is the largest owl in Australia. They have large yellow eyes and no facial-disc with adults reaching 60 cm in length. These owls are in Centennial Park Sydney. With two adults and two owlets, the owlets are the lighter fluffy ones.
The Hengill area east of Reykjavík is one of the largest high-temperature areas in Iceland. The geothermal activity is connected with three volcanic systems in this area. The geothermal heat in Reykjadalur Hveragerði belong to the oldest system, called the Grensdalur system. North of this is a volcanic area named after Hrómundartindur, which last erupted about 10,000 years ago. The geothermal heat in Öldukelsháls is connected with this volcanic site.
West of these volcanic systems where this sunrise picture was taken too day lies the Hengill system, and volcanic fractures and faults stretch to the Southwest through Innstidalur, Kolviðarhóll and Hveradalur (Hot Spring Valley) and to the Northeast through Nesjavellir and Lake Þingvallavatn.

60163 Tornado is a mainline steam locomotive built in Darlington, England. Completed in 2008, Tornado was the first such locomotive built in the United Kingdom since Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built by British Railways in 1960. It is the only example of an LNER Peppercorn Class A1 locomotive in existence, the entirety of the original production batch having been scrapped without preservation.
“On the evening of May 4, 1886, a tragedy of international significance unfolded in Chicago’s Haymarket produce district. An outdoor meeting had been hastily organized by anarchist activists to protest the violent death of workers during a labor lockout the previous day in another area of the city.
Spectators gathered in the street as speakers addressed political, social and labor issues from atop a freight wagon from the adjacent factory. When approximately 175 policemen approached with an order to disperse the meeting, a dynamite bomb was thrown into their ranks.
The identity and affiliation of the person who threw the bomb have never been determined; this anonymous act had many victims. From the blast and panic that followed, seven policemen and at least four civilian bystanders lost their lives, but the victims of the incident were not limited to those who died as a direct result of the bombing. In the aftermath, those who organized and spoke at the meeting – and others who held unpopular political viewpoints – were arrested, unfairly tried and, in some cases, sentenced to death even though none could be tied to the bombing itself.
Meeting organizers George Engel and Adolf Fisher along with speakers August Spies and Albert Parsons were put to death by hanging. Activist Louis Lingg died violently in jail prior to his scheduled execution. Meeting speaker Samuel Fielden, and activists Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab were sentenced to prison, but later pardoned in 1893 bu Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld, citing the injustices of their trial.
Over the years, the site of the Haymarket bombing has become a powerful symbol for a diverse cross-section of people, ideals and movements. Its significance touches on the issues of free speech, the right of public assembly, organized labor, the fight for the eight hour work day, law enforcement, justice, anarchy and the right of every human being to pursue an equitable and prosperous life. For all, it is a poignant lesson in the rewards and consequences inherent in such human pursuits..”
