I had no idea what I was taking picture of, but the building looked interesting. The sign was a bit of a clue and it turns out, that Vancouver is only 4 years older than this refinery. It looked abandoned, but still produces 10% of Canadian sugar. Rogers Sugar was founded in 1890 by Benjamin Tingley Rogers. If I have a son, I would name him Tingley, for sure. Tingley may had some problems in school with that name, but he became one of the wealthiest men in Canada.

I had heard about the unfortunate addition to the much loved Entrance Shark tower (particularly by landscape togs). I don’t think I was fully prepared for the disappointment when I saw the hideous new signage defacing the beautiful appearance of this structure so I set about to restore the tower to its former glory with a range of Photoshop techniques including transform to copy and flip part of the tower, clipping mask to match colour and brightness and cloning constrained with 0.5 feathered pixel selections using the lass tool to refine the job. It’s hard to verify whether I have been successful without zooming in however I believe it holds up at %100.

A farmer unloads raw salt at salt field yard in Chittagong, Bangladesh. This photo is taken in the destination of Banshkhali Upazila in the division of Chittagong in the country of Bangladesh.
The salt industry being one of the largest labor intensive cottage industries of Bangladesh absorbs largely around 5 million people directly or indirectly. The total value chain of the salt industry in Bangladesh involves largely two sub-sectoral activities namely-- the refining process which is operated by salt mills and the crude salt production process that involves a significant chunk of marginal farmers of coastal Bangladesh.
Among the farmers, farmers some are cultivating salt on their own lands while the other farmers are cultivating salt after taking the land as lease either directly from owners of the lands or through middle men. Local administration sources said a huge quantity of lands are being used for salt cultivation in Banshkhali this year.

বাঁশখালীর উপকূল জুড়ে চলছে লবণ উৎপাদন। এখানকার বিভিন্ন ইউনিয়নে ৫০ হাজার লবণচাষি ১৫ হাজার হেক্টর জমিতে লবণ চাষ করছেন। অনেকে জমি মালিকের সঙ্গে চুক্তিতে চাষ করেন। উপজেলার কাথরিয়া, বাহারছড়া, সরল, গন্ডামারা, পুইছড়ি, শেখেরখীল, ছনুয়া ও খানখানাবাদ উপকূলীয় এলাকায় ব্যস্ত সময় পার করছেন তারা।
লবণ চাষিরা জানান, কাঠের রোলার দিয়ে মাঠ সমতল করার পর চারপাশে মাটির আইল দিয়ে ছোট ছোট প্লট তৈরি করা হয়। এরপর ছোট প্লটগুলো রোদে শুকিয়ে কালো বা নীল রঙের পলিথিন বিছিয়ে দেওয়া হয়।
জোয়ার এলে মাঠের মাঝখানে তৈরি করা নালা দিয়ে জমির প্লটে জমানো হয় সাগরের লবণাক্ত পানি। অনেকে ইঞ্জিনচালিত শ্যালো মেশিনও ব্যবহার করেন। এভাবে পানি সংগ্রহ করার পর ৪ থেকে ৫ দিন রোদে রাখা হয়।
কড়া রোদে পানি বাষ্পীভূত হয়ে চলে যায় আর লবণ পড়ে থাকে পলিথিনের ওপর। লবণ চাষ মূলত আবহাওয়ার ওপর নির্ভরশীল। একটু ঝড় বৃষ্টি হলেই উৎপাদন বন্ধ হয়ে যায়। কুয়াশাও লবণের জন্য ক্ষতিকর।
উৎপাদিত লবণ থেকে পানি সরে গেলে ব্যাপারীদের হাতে তুলে দেওয়া হয়। এই লবণ কিনে নিয়ে কারখানায় রিফাইনারি মেশিনের মাধ্যমে পরিশোধন শেষে বস্তা বা প্যাকেট ভর্তি করা হয়। পরে সেই লবণ চলে যায় বিভিন্ন স্থানে।

Another refining old photo.
This is my favorite swan picture out of my collections, even though it was sort of out-of-focus. I regret that I only took one shot, without having any alternative position or exposure.
This where in 1896, in a big shed by the road to Upper Austin Lodge, aviation pioneer Percy Pilcher built a glider constructed mainly from bamboo and weighing less than 50 pounds (23kg), which he called the Hawk. He spent many hours gliding the Hawk off a hilltop named the Knob, experimenting with and refining techniques for flying through the air. Unaided he could glide for 100 yards, and with the aid of a pulley he could soar for over a quarter of a mile (0.4km).
This was also Eynsford Gun Testing range. First used from1888 by Hiram Maxim to develop the Maxim Gun. This weapon was the key to making the mass slaughter of the First World War efficiently practical. From 1915 onwards the range was used by Vickers as a test site for heavy ordnance.
Abandoned by the 1960s, by which time I was a teenager & this is where we used to fire home made rockets with varying success.
"Nature is sanative, refining, elevating. How cunningly she hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses, and violets, and morning dew! Every inch of the mountains is scarred by unimaginable convulsions, yet the new day is purple with the bloom of youth and love."

Walking out into the cold morning, I noticed tiny diamonds sparkling on the green moss. What a great way to start one's day!
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Refine. What inspired me was something I read about the trend towards people refining their craft, becoming masters of their craft.
Excellence in photography has always interested me and I continually try to advance towards achieving it. I enjoy seeing photography from people who treat photography as an art.
I am so happy to finally have a great camera and I am learning all the things it can do that my old camera couldn't. Photography is more than the camera, though. The environment you create when your spirit is into it is something special. For me, I am always fine-tuning that part of it...
Ice is one of those really simple things that can truly transform a photograph. It is literally just frozen water, but it often is intricate in design. Shaped by the harshest of elements it is an example of the refining process. No one ever said that the refining process was easy or painless, but it brings about the true beauty of the object that was previously covered in rough edges and blemishes that needed to be removed. This is much the same with us. We become a far more beautiful person when we let Jesus refine our rough edges and many blemishes leaving us as a spotless and blameless bride before our Groom!

Après un réveil matinal, je me suis rendu de Dombås à l'endroit selectionné la veille, plus bas dans la vallée. En roulant, j'ai rapidement compris que le brouillard allait compromettre mon plan. Après un demi-tour sur la route, je cherchais sans trop d'espoir une autre position qui n'était pas dans le brouillard, bonne avec la lumière et sans que celle-ci soit cachée derrière la montagne. Comme aucun coin ne réunissait tous ces paramètres, je me suis arrêté ici, au bord de la route. C'est en effet là que la situation paraissait la moins pire. Après plusieurs minutes qui ont semblé être une éternité, les rayons du soleil ont enfin commencé à éclairer la zone. Quelques minutes plus tard, un bruit se faisait entendre au loin. La TME 1514, louée à OnRail, arrivait.
La photo montre le train 5902 reliant Åndalsnes à Alnabru. Il s'agit de l'unique train de marchandises à circuler sur la ligne de Rauma. Habituellement tracté par une Eurodual, il arrive occasionnellement qu'une TME puisse être observée en tête de celui-ci.

Inside the lens, there were some small dusty crumbs or condensed moisture, it's a pity, because now, the clear blue sky has some "mistakes".
The raindrops glittering in the sun refine this already beautiful dahlia blossom and create a masterpiece of shape and color. I think that it should do without big words and work on its own.
For this reason, I'll leave it at that and wish you all a bright start to the week.
Die in der Sonne glitzernden Regentropfen veredeln diese auch so schon schöne Dahlienblüte und schaffen ein Meisterwerk aus Form und Farbe.Ich denke, das sollte auch ohne große Worte auskommen und für sich alleine Wirken.
Aus diesem Grund belasse ich es dabei und wünsche Euch alle eine strahlenden Wochenstart.

After boarding our cruise ship, the Norwegian Escape, we headed out of New Orleans traveling on The Mississippi River. During this time we were treated to many sights along the way. I did not realize that it was a 100 mile trip (6-7 hours by boat) to reach the Gulf.
I believe this is the PBF Energy's Chalmette Refining facility.
The Chalmette Refinery is a major petroleum refinery in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, with a processing capacity of approximately 185,000 to 189,000 barrels per day

2022-12:
During 2023, I intend to re-focus on my photography interests. I want to make sure this is not just another resolution that falls by the wayside of my sometimes-annual resolutions.
To help ensure this goal gets more attention, I am undertaking to:
* buy a new camera (not that there is anything wrong with my very lightly used Nikon 800E, but "boys want new toys")
* fold in some of the Address Management mapping work that I have committed to.
* sponsor some of the related projects of technical folk I work with, in order to achieve Synergies and Scale more rapidly.
2020: Update:
Slowly finding the time to re-focus on photography (all be it, just with a mobile phone).
2017:
At this time, I am relatively dormant as far as flickr activity is concerned. I am preparing to add some links to my other repositories as I slowly refine my 'net activities before then extending them. After all, time is too precious to engage in redundant work.
For the moment, I am only using Flickr as an attractive way to test Engagement ideas, perhaps by just updating some of the Galleries I've created in the past.
I am considering making more use of flickRiver to craft better Tales. Unfortunately, I've found that it now seems to be restricted to just the Top 4 images of an list.
* considering www.fluidr.com/photos/hwo/34106310330

* starting to re-cycle my Flickr images as part of the TalesHwo series of posts.
Refining my comet shooting technique after the dramas of last time. I used a Nikon D810A with a Sigma Art 135mm lens at f/2, ISO200, 27 x 30 second shots during and beyond astro twilight. The camera was on a ZWO AM5, I used the ZWO ASIAIR Mini to polar align, then get my framing where I was happy with it, and ran the autofocus routine with a ZWO EAF connected to the lens. Once that was done I ran unguided in continuous exposure mode with a wired shutter release that locks on, while I shot landscape astro comet shots with the other camera. For processing I used APP, I didn't do any comet alignment. I removed much of the astro twilight colour from the sky and with more subs the satellites are almost gone. The artifact on the bottom right is from the ground getting in the frame! Final processing in Photoshop.
A pair of Tacoma Rail MP15ACs drop off an oil train at U.S. Oil and Refining in the Port of Tacoma. Tacoma Rail's operations around the Port of Tacoma trace back to the Tacoma Municipal Belt Line which started operations in 1914 as a streetcar operation and began freight operations with the opening of the Port of Tacoma in 1918. Today, Tacoma Rail is contracted to provide rail service to the port and retains TMBL reporting marks.

Took some photos while moving the camera up or down of some trees in the Sierra’s to get a motion effect. They did not come out well at all but decided to see what could be done with one or two for a Slider Sunday presentation. The original photo was a shot just of the forest area. Over laid a photo of the moving trees and blended it in Photoshop, performed some minor adjustments in Photoshop before placing into Topaz Studio where Color Overlay was used to alter the color, then into Studio Tone Curves for additional color tone adjustments, Studio HSL Color Tune was then used to further refine the colors and tone before placing in Topaz Precision Contrast to finalized the colors and tones plus some detail and finally used Topaz Texture to get the final effect desired including the hills. Finished with additional minor adjustments in Photoshop using the smudge, burn and dodge tools for an in part painted, illusional effect. For Slider Sunday……………………….. Happy Slider Sunday
Time has a way of refining perspective. I've been thinking about the recent wildfires in Los Angeles Eaton Canyon/Alta Dena, Palisades, Hughes. I don't know yet how to photograph them. But I did photograph some wildfire areas back in 2021, walking burns and mudslides up the south central coast that happened in 2018.
In that year, the Woolsey fire burned much of the same area as the recent Palisades fire, burning through the Malibu hills and up the coast into Ventura. Many homes were burned. Even after 3 years, you could still see bleached driveways, foundations, and patios where homes were. Like bones in the sun. And in the hills, trees, palms, and patches of soil were black. There was a stillness.
It is here, in the Malibu hills, where I shot this photo.

Als ich dieses Thema las, dachte ich im ersten Moment, besser könnte es nicht sein, da mein Vater Hobby-Holzschnitzer war. Doch im zweiten Moment kam ich drauf, dass ich mich nun für ein Werkstück von ihm entscheiden muss !!😳 Mein Vater begann als junger Mann mit diesem Hobby, das er sein ganzes Leben ausübte und verfeinerte seine Fertigkeiten im Lauf der Jahre immer mehr. Die Stücke sind alle aus Zirbenholz geschnitzt, welches sich dafür besonders gut
eignet.👍
When I read this theme for Smile on Saturday, at first I thought it couldn't be better, as my father was a hobby woodcarver. But at the second moment it occurred to me that I now have to choose one of his workpieces !!😳 My father started this hobby as a young man and practised it all his life, refining his skills over the years. The pieces are all carved from Swiss stone pine, which is especially suitable for this purpose.👍

It was raining outside so I set the tripod up in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and took the photo. I took a few test shots and wondered why everything was blurry. Then I realized I should probably turn the car off to reduce the vibration during a long'ish exposure.

Packard series
Packard Motor Car Company was an American luxury automobile company. It was founded in Warren Ohio as the Ohio Automobile Company by James Ward Packard, his brother William, and their partner, George Lewis Weiss. The first car rolled out of the factory on November 6, 1899.
Packard’s cars were considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II, and owning a Packard was prestigious. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he brought together a group of investors to refinance the company, soon after which Packard moved its operations to Detroit.
In 1953 (or 1954, depending on your source), Packard bought rival Studebaker and formed the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. Some historians believe that this was the beginning of the end of the company. It was certainly followed by a series of circumstances and events that ultimately led to the end of the company in 1962.
This series of photographs was taken at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum is a restored Packard dealership transformed into a museum that displays twentieth-century classic Packards and historic Packard artifacts and memorabilia.
The dealership originally sold Packards in Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1908. It moved into the building that is now home to the museum in 1917. Robert Signom II, the museum's Founder and Curator for 27 years, acquired the building in 1991 and painstakingly rehabilitated it to its original Art Deco grandeur, opening the museum in 1992.
Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the top ten automotive museums in the United States. The cars on display range from 1900s Brass Era cars, the streamlined Classic cars of the 1930s and 1940s, to the modern Packards of the 1950s. The museum also has a collection of war machines, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature.
These are the big vats that they used for refining sugar from molasses when this mill was in operation. All that remains of the original structure is the walls and these kettles and other machinery. The roof is now replaces by a huge, steel structure, and walkways have been built inside it so people can get closer to the equipment.
When I first started coming to Sugar Mill Gardens back in January of 2008, the walls had no protection around them and the whole ruin was encircled by a chain link fence to keep people out. I think the decision to reinforce the structure with the steel roof was done to preserve what's left of the walls and the kettles. Parts of the wall came down even during the time between when I started visiting, and when they built the enclosure. It is rather monolithic and ugly, but the good thing is that we can now go inside and see things closer up than before. Future generations stand a better chance of seeing this old mill's ruins now.

Queen of Swords inspired build for this round.
Not a ton really to go into for this one. Heavy influence taken from Magic the Gathering's Elesh Norn along with promotional artwork of the Iron Throne from the Game of Thrones Television show. Was neat how some of the negative and positive traits of the Tarot Card applied slightly to the character the build was based off of.
Between being on vacation for half of this round's build time and being sick for the other half, I didn't have as much time to really flesh the build out the way I initially envisioned it. Originally wanted to try a different color scheme and build an actual platform for her to stand on, but I'm happy enough with the way it came out.
