The very first photo stop of my three weeks off was here. If I'd still be living where I grew up I hadn't even left the Landkreis (administrative district).
These tram coaches were, well, kind of parked right there. It's not really a lost place as people walk there dogs right there and there's also a train station. It's just that a tram does not belong there.
There are some more pictures in my stream but I decided against putting them all in the comment box.
As I won't be posting anything tomorrow I though you could handle a kind of excessive post. :o)
Eastern Gray Squirrel ponders over the fact that I don't have feeders up anymore. Now it has to forage for natural foods, like maple seeds, or what I scatter on the ground. I am considering putting up a suet feeder...maybe. I do want to see the chickadees and the bushtits.

Even if you don't play golf, you might like the way this mini putting green is maintained and manicured. :)

While sky was putting shades on, I stuck second ND filter
on top of it.
More action from Camp de Mar.
Putting this up not so much for the birds but the overall aesthetics made possible by the confluence of cloud and that ethereal light. To me, the flamingos are a bonus :)
The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.
X This shot is probably not going to be appreciated by too many of my foreign contacts .It is an image from the third day of the second test between England and South Africa at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. It was a perfect day for cricket and South Africa batted wonderfully putting the English bowlers to the sword. The shot is of the fast bowler Wood about to bowl from the Pavilion End.
Regardless of this I had a wonderful day on Sunday, drinking chilled white wine with the constant murmur of the large crowd with the occasional crack as another ball was dispatched to the boundary by South African batsmen. I was reminded of the words of the great cricket writer Neville Cardus who wrote in 1924
"Trent Bridge is a lotus land for batsmen, a place where it was always afternoon and 360 for two wickets"
English actually lost the test match on Monday, so it is, one all in the series with two more to matches play
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE

This beautiful waterfall is located in Yoho National Park, Canada. I used a 10-stop ND filter to cut the bright daylight and create a long exposure to give a silky drama to the river and waterfall. The trick, of course, is to focus first before putting on the darkening filter, and then turn off autofocus so your lens doesn't start hunting for a focus point because it will be too dark for it to find one with the filter on.

After almost 65 years, the Putt-Putt Family Fun Center in Tyler, Texas, is closing down. Since this place was the source of a lot of fun memories from my youth, I had to have one last outing and document it via instant photography.
Gable Island on the Harberton Estancia (Ranch), north of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia. We trekked the island with wonderful views of the Beagle Channel. The island was used for putting sheep out to pasture during the summers.

Back in the day, before miniature golf courses had to have 50' waterfalls and giant dragons with lazers shooting out of their eyes, there was Putt-Putt. We had a mini-golf in the town where I grew up, but the Putt-Putt was a few more miles away, and we always wanted to go there over the local one. Why? Dunno... the name "Putt-Putt" had a certain cachet to it, it somehow seemed you were playing the real thing. (Even though miniature golf was around long before Putt-Putt was.) That Putt-Putt is now long gone, buried under a Walgreen's or Rite-Aid or some other terribly uninteresting beige drug store, so I was pleased to find this one next to my motel in Richmond, IN. On the other hand, I was sad to see a "FOR SALE" sign on the property. (for $295,000) I hope it'll remain a Putt-Putt, but it doesn't look like it will. Some things should just never go away.
Putt-Putt now calls themselves "Fun Centers", and according to their corporate web site, centers "may include go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages, laser tag, game rooms and even climbing walls".
I thought the mini-golf was fun enough. If I'm in Richmond again this summer, I'm gonna see if this Putt-Putt is open. If so, you can catch me on the links. :-)

Escaping from the tomb and putting someone else in their place.
Rather than quoting Bible verses you're going to hear a whole lot today and half of you will discredit as cult utterances, I thought I'd just put this out instead: Angels, Heaven, and other aspects of our faith are concepts difficult to wrap one's head around, and right now we can't. So a lot of people dismiss them as petty imaginings and larger-than-life reflections of things we can see and touch. "Giant humans with bird wings? Haha how pagan."
Consider, just for a brief while, the implications of perhaps these being original concepts; our concepts and ideas little reflections that are missing pieces, and the only way those who saw angels or Heaven could describe them was through Earthly terms, resulting in outrageous-sounding descriptions filled with lions' heads, wheels within wheels, and a lot of gold when there simply was no way to utter the element that made their appearance unutterable. Plato, though not completely right, had hit on something with his Myth of the Cave, now you just need someone to guide you out of it...
This brief little build is also destined to be an entry for FLONAPRIL, it seems: www.flickr.com/groups/flonapril/
Something different, yet again.
And the 5D arrives tomorrow!!! Just in time for a trip with twelve middle schoolers to the Grand Canyon next week.
C&NW GP15 4413 is ready to couple onto the rest of the consist, which has several ballast cars in it. The Farley Candy siding is at the left.
Switching gears from the farmland of my recent posts, here is an iconic composition that is soon to be no more. The next few posts will be taking a little tour of San Francisco's most iconic photography spots. Thanks to Lisa for putting up with us (yet again) this weekend. You might stop over and check out her really sweet photostream!

This pic works so well with the way I am right now...
I'm still trying to put the pieces of who I am together.

This was taken back in Spring of 2013 at the London Meetup.
It was really cool to see such new faces. Here's the lovely Georgina Hopkins
I first thought that I wouldn't post my supermoon shot, as it cannot fully compete with others that were made with much longer focal lenght lenses (this here was 280mm on full frame).
But when I saw a lot of really crappy moon-shots in todays Explore, I was confident enough to post it anyway. At least it puts the photos before and after this in the context of the supermoon ;-)
I used an old Leitz Telyt 280mm lens from 1963, at f/8. This is my longest lens for the Canon full-frame body and delivers still a decent image quality!
And here a very interesting comparison:
I took this picture of the blood-moon last year: flic.kr/p/yUDiCy
Exactly the same equipment and same aperture settings (6D full-frame and 280mm @ f/8). For the blood-moon I needed ISO 3200 and 1 second exposure, whereas for this supermoon I had ISO 50 and 1/200 s. Summed up, this makes a brightness factor of 15000 (!!!) if I didn't make a mistake in calculation. Pretty extreme!
