So after many wishes to make a q&a here it is. You can ask everything I will answer.

The guy you see there is my new SigFig.
Poking around an old antiques shop in Niles, California. I seem to remember this in an old advertising campaign, but I don't remember when or what it was for. Any help?
I received a lot of questions about the aquarium in Sydney
Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is a public aquarium located in the city of Sydney, South . It is located on the eastern side of Darling Harbour to the north of the Pyrmont Bridge. It is a full institutional member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
The aquarium contains a large variety of Australian aquatic life, displaying more than 650 species comprising more than 6,000 individual fish and other sea and water creatures from most of Australia's water habitats.
Its key exhibits in the aquarium are a series of underwater, see-through, acrylic glass tunnels where sharks swim above visitors, and recreation of a Great Barrier Reef coral environment.

Huh, 30/52 was hard - spent several days in Moravia which was pretty exhausting (a lot of celebrating etc ;-)) and all of sudden I realized it was Sunday and I forgot about 52 weeks....Then my french fries were ready and idea appeared ;-)
And tomorrow work, gosh I want to be back in the USA - a carefree and fabulous time I had there ;-)
"Their common name refers to a distinctive silver mark on the hindwing." Can't see it here, unfortunately.. Proboscis in the sand?
I have a few questions in general :)
So if you couldn't tell by my stream, I don't do many self portraits. And I really don't know why either. I guess it's just easier to take pictures of stationary objects?! But I want to challenge myself, so would you agree that I should explore self portraits more, or disagree?
Also, Prints. Print exchange? Print giveaway? What do you guys think? Should I make something happen, or just leave it?
I'm not very good at decision making, it takes me 30 mins, to decide what I'm having for breakfast! So really any opinions, or answers would be much appreciated :)
How fascinating that during our lives there are moments in time that have the ability to go down in history.⏰📘
One such moment came at 17:42 on Friday the 3rd of July 2020, where were you at this momentous time, just in case anyone was out in the scullery jumping up and down on a bunch of grapes in order to make your next bottle of wine, let me pass on to you the following reportage, you cannot make it up.😜
The place was Downing Street, the subject matter, questions to the PM who had addressed the nation, what happens, yep this question is put to BoJo, “Prime Minister, should we drink a yard of ale to celebrate pubs reopening” well the cheers, whooping, trumpets being blown, beating of drums, singing, that rang out around this village, was just sheer joy. The village church bells rang to the tune of ‘Roll Out The Barrel’, Horace bounced up and down on his Olympic size trampoline, purely incredible scenes.
The noise was picked up at The Goonhilly Earth Station.🍻🎺🎶📡
The internet and phone lines in the village, all went into meltdown, morse code, tambourines anything that could be classed as a method of communication were put to use. Nancy Nancarrow, yes the lady that does glass blowing on the side, immediately swung into action producing yard of ale glasses by the thousand in her garden shed.☎️🏡🍸🍹
A crack team of ladies from the WI armed to the teeth with welding and fabrication qualifications assembled outside the church hall.
Their immediate task was to reacquisition the bus that is used for the Sunday school outings and prepare it for an exhibition pub crawl through Cornwall.🚌
They would cut the roof off the bus with Oxy-Acetylene torches and turn it into a cabriolet, these measures were required in order to follow guidelines that it is safer for large groups to be in the open air.
Next step was to expertly cut out the double seats and weld in a job lot of chairs from the church hall at two meter spacings.
Bus conversion complete, these ladies were good to go.🔥🔥
Trixie Trebillcock and Betty Beswetherick, had been in a bubble or on a bender some miles away in Wadebridge when they heard the cheer from the village go up, they immediately phoned back to the village to ask Nancy what was going on, once informed they asked, could they be picked up from Wadebridge next day on route for the pub crawl to celebrate this momentous moment in time.👯♀️🎉🎊
Mrs Trebogus said she would drive the bus for the pub crawl.
With representatives from many of the organisations in the village sat in the single seats of the bus cabriolet and every member armed with a yard of ale glass they set off from the village via Wadebridge, duly collected Trixie and Betty, then headed off through Cornwall, stopping off at numerous hostelries testing their yard glasses before one final stop in Penzance.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺🍷
Following the consumption of about twenty yards of ale each in Penzance alone, some of the ladies were a bit worse for wear, some even went missing.🙈😜
As it was getting dark Mrs Trebogus had to get back to the farm in order to milk her Friesian cows. Therefore she took the decision to round up the ladies she could find and transport them back to the village. (I bet you have all been out on a day like this if you are honest)🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮
When Trixie and Betty staggered back to the RV point, they could not believe they had missed the bus, Trixie said “we will have to walk home”, Betty responded, we can’t do that, we are not fit to walk, we will have to drive. 😱😱
Trixie said “but we don’t have a car”, Betty responded don’t worry we will borrow one, Trixie said “don’t be stupid, there won’t be a car around here that is taxed, so forget that, how about we borrow a bus from Penzance bus station”, brilliant idea responded Betty.🚗🚌
So Betty stood guard outside the large bus station while Trixie went into borrow a bus, well after about half an hour of engine revving, clattering and banging, Betty shouts in “what on earth are you doing”, Trixie responds, I’m doing my best but the bus for Wadebridge is parked at the back.🚌
Betty shouts, “take the one for St Columb, we can walk from there”.🚌🚶♀️🚶♀️
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, the banter and comments you leave are so appreciated.
Take care, have a lovely weekend

I wanted to mod my Brickmania Easy Eight, I am wondering if this new cupola looks good. What are your guys' thoughts? Also, expect some new uploads mid-May....
This is the caterpillar of the Question Mark butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis). There is a tiny mark on the underside of the butterfly's wing that gives it the unusual name. I photographed this spiky creature at the Butterfly Haven in Pingree, Idaho.
What I know about lightning:
“Is a powerful natural electrostatic discharge produced during a thunderstorm. This abrupt electric discharge is accompanied by the emission of visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The electric current passing through the discharge channels rapidly heats and expands the air into plasma producing acoustic shock waves (thunder) in the atmosphere” (Wikipedia dixit).
It’s a very spectacular phenomenon, specially at night.
It’s not easy to get a good capture if you don’t know how to do it. It’s pure chance.
It’s pure chance that your building gets struck by lightning.
So, I got this capture and three weeks later my building was struck by lightning.
I said goodbye to my monitor, printer, TV and toaster. CPU, Hi-Fi and microwaves survived (by chance).
Corollary: lightning and chance are two sides of the same coin.
You dress up to play princess, I dress up to kill. Either way we're both hiding our true selves. Question. Is it the mask or the face we're hiding?
Amicia and Hugo:
"Hugo! Where are you?"
"I'm here. I'm close."
"I can't see you! I'll do whatever it takes! I want... to see you."
"Are you sure?"
"You just keep on fighting! We tried that way, and it was a lie. It's not the right way; you know that."
"I don't know, Hugo!"
"It brought death, Amicia. And I brought death too! It's the mistake I made... and what I've become."
"I've seen you fight so many times. You still won't back down, will you, Amicia?"
"It's us or them! I have no choice!"
"You have a choice... but it scares you."
"We need to fix this Amicia!"
"We'll find a solution! I promise, Hugo!"
"You keep saying that. But there's only one solution now."
"You’re the only one who can stop me... from becoming a monster," Hugo said.
"You’re not a monster!"
"I will be…" replied the boy, "if I kill all I love."
Amicia learns what it is to sacrifice all she loves... and she kills her little brother who she loved so much, when he asks her to, because it was the only way to stop the Plague, or the Macula in the boy's blood would never cease killing... killing other people! And what was the life of one boy, to the lives of hundreds? What does the life of one child mean? And what does love mean? Did Amicia ever answer these questions?
And so Amicia slings the stone.
This is a collaboration between Joe (jnj_bricks) and I, built for the Labour of Love category of Brickscalibur. I haven't slept in a while so I should go to sleep now, but later you can see more of the terrain, more of the Rats' Nest, and maybe some behind the scenes. I'm really excited for this build! It looks awfully small, but I had to carry it down the stairs... and I know it weighed a lot! It's huge.
I have to mention that I was very inspired by Josh DeMoss's piece of music from the Symphony of Construction, I listened to it while I was building and it gave me the chills. And of course the music from A Plague Tale: Requiem. It was so beautiful, and touching, and deadly...
I have no words to describe A Plague Tale.
To God Be The Glory, and may you seek Him when you find yourself sad and troubled, like Amicia and Hugo, instead of getting lost...
I hope you like it!
Question? Are these "Motion Blur" Photos now? --- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bewegungsunsch%C3%A4rfe#:~:text=Als...(im%20englischsprachigen%20Raum,sonstige%20Bedienungs%2D%20und%20Einstellungsfehler%20des
As we approached the outer limits of the Chicago Terminal, near Gary, trains were beginning to pile up. This is actually quite normal, but there was chatter on the radio hinting to a train ahead experiencing trouble.
The railroads changed to narrow band radio communication a few years back. This system makes it extremely difficult to hear a locomotive radio from more than ten miles away. If a portable radio is being used, then the limit seems to be around three miles.
While the dispatcher flushed out the normal rush of evening eastbound intermodals, those of us on westbounds suffered a very slow roll into town. Every mile of progress, though, made it a tad easier to catch bits and pieces of the conversation ahead.
Just prior to leaving the mainline and changing over to the yard radio channel, I learned that the train in question was Amtrak's Capitol Limited. It was stopped east of the detector a mile or so south of the White Sox stadium.
On the following day, we departed Englewood and began our journey to Toledo. The progression of signals ahead meant a stop at the Calumet River bridge for a lake freighter to pass through.
Once stopped at the signal, I opened the door and was surprised to find sparkling Charger 361 tied down on a yard lead. With no apparent fuel, oil, or water leaks, I assumed she had an issue somewhere within.
After kicking over a few stones, I learned that the Capitol tripped the detector at MP518 for a wheel defect. The culprit? Non other than the brand new 361! So new that the wheel sets were still shiny. Not a speck of dirt or dust to be found.
The crew was instructed to limp the unit down to CP 509 where it could be set out. The defect was rumored to be an issue with one of the axles.
Lucky for the passengers on #30, the 361 was not sole power for the train. She was trailing a Genesis unit. After a hefty delay, the train continued east.
This is not the first time that I had seen or heard of a Charger no longer being able to charge ahead. It sounds like the model's reliability percentage is more favorable now than when first delivered. Good news as Amtrak has enough troubles!
Charged Out.
Civilian David Windmiller flew this custom built Zivko Edge 540 with a thrust to weight ratio of greater than 1:1. David must love what he does. The question mark was, I'm sure, only in our minds.
Rain and colder temps have kept me from chasing butterflies until this weekend. Allhart and I visited Strawberry Plains Audubon Center where several species of butterflies, moths, bees and other insects were active. It was great weather and an enjoyable morning to shoot.

This was my second choice image for the Leading Questions project with Clipper. I really like this shot but felt that the humor of the first shot suited him better.

This shot was made with my 5D. It's interesting to see the differences between it in the film shot below.
Question to all of you: why does my EXIF information show sometimes, and other times it does not. I use Lightroom Classic for all my editing and the data shows there. Does anyone else have this problem?
Polygonia interrogationis is on my deck!
This is the winter form. It’s getting ready to overwinter and show up early in the spring.
Midtown Tulsa, OK
Skull!
They all know, they all know!
Sorry, did I wake your dream, some questions run too deep
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we'd find
Lost our way tonight
Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
They all know, they all know!
Ever since the day you left my fates been set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know
Help me find my way
Said help me find my way
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies and to a degree
Losing you I wanna be, oh
You'll find out right now,
He may be out of his mind, but someday you will find
That sanity has left us all blind, and dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes, crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die, I say it just moves on
If you'd only open your mind, then someday you will find
Insanity left us behind, and walked right through the door
I can see the picture's clear as yesterday, pictures all my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay, but know you're not alone
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young...
Day 179
When we have a campfire in our backyard fire pit after her bedtime, Jaymi keeps sticking her head out her window to talk to us, ask us questions, watch the campfire, etc.....anything to postpone having to go to sleep.
"Déplacements pour l’assistance aux personnes vulnérables"
Ne peut on pas considérer que des photos de sa région, partagées sur les réseaux aident les personnes en manque de sortie quotidienne et permettent de rendre supportable ces semaines de confinement ?
De là à en déduire que les photographes ont un rôle social à jouer dans la vie quotidienne des gens. Ne serait ce pas normal dans ce cas que les photographes soient autorisé par l'état à jouer ce rôle à fond.
Je demande que l'état brise le confinement des photographes locaux en les autorisant à se balader dans leur commune respective !
N'ai je pas raison ? 😅

Time to ask a silly question on the blog! I'd love it if you could find a moment to offer an answer!
