In case you can't tell what these are, they are dart flights - very well used. I had no idea they were so shredded on the edges, until I got up close with the extension tubes. Yes, we play darts :)
Taken with Jena Pancolar 50mm f1.8 with extension tubes, on a glass board, with sparkly paper and fairy lights in the background.

The signs alternating messages, "EXTREME BLOWOVER RISK" and "WIND GUSTS 60+ MPH" seemed about right. My GVW was just under 80,000 lbs and I was getting pushed about pretty good. The temperatures had been warm, in the 50's, so the roads were dry, even so many drivers were finding places to park for the evening. I started my day at 3 AM, so even though I'd driven less than 200 miles, the early delivery and then a pick-up at Coors in Golden Colorado had pretty much done in my productivity for the day. Took this shot from the parking lot of the Summit Rest Area about 18 miles East of Laramie, Wyoming. It's the highest elevation on I-80 at over 8,000 feet.
The winter weather is absolutely brutal as Metra 143 heads outbound with a Union Pacific Northwest Line train, passing under the searchlights at Clybourn Junction, Chicago. Windchills were well below -20 degrees F, and raw, ripping wind was driving powdery snow into every crevice. Risking frostbite and hypothermia like an idiot, I stood outside on the platform for over an hour here to document the (Covid-reduced) "rush" in some of the most intense winter conditions Chicago had seen in a few years.
High risk of extinction in the wild (Endangered). Cambodia.
Gibbons are wonderful! They are born light, turn black at the age of two years; later, the females turn light again, and the males remain black! Gibbons live in the crowns of tall trees and move through them at speeds of up to 50 km / h. Guarding their" high-altitude " territory, they sing in very high voices, using the singing technique that Opera singers have been learning for many years!
Some pieces from a Lord of the Rings special edition Risk board game have actually made a spectacular macro diorama representing the main plot of the Tolkien trilogy.
What you can see is a Ring Wraith piece (worth 3 troops) in the foreground with other pieces making up the background. A promotional flyer from inside the box provides the sky colour.
Taken with an Auto-Paragon 28mm f/2.8 lens (M42 to Nikon converted) on 12mm of extension tubes at f/4 (which is as fast as it can go until I finish the conversion). The foreground figure is about 25mm in length, making this an approximately 1-inch square.
Post processing; a fair bit of dodging, burning and colour masking after the initial crop.

I tossed caution to the wind and boldly approached the skeletons of this T-Rex, prehistoric dog and dino hatching from an egg, along with a terrifying gargoyle. This is serious permanent stuff, not a Halloween display.
My strong recommendation to other photogs in a similar dangerous situation: Don't try this at home, folks!
BLOL #7591 jumps on former Wabash rails at Risk Junction, the former route of the Banner Blue and Blue Bird from Chicago to Saint Louis.
Would you risk it for a chocolate biscuit? - Take the risk, you might get a nice reward......Fortune favours the brave!
Here is another photo from the Tops of 2018 folder that I'm just now adding to FB. This is the caption I wrote at the time:

After getting those shots the whole gang of Doug Boudrow, John Kittredge, Tyler Varnum, Vincent Colombo, and whoever else I'm missing moved down to the Ludlow area to shoot the foliage train from Chester coming up the hill. We did the same, but then made the risky decision to chase east a bit cause there was one shot I really wanted with the last Green Mountain painted geep on the rear.
We weren't sure if we could get it and then still double back west before the 263/slurry freight started down hill.
Well, as you can see, we did.
This shot posted a while ago if you missed it: flic.kr/p/2i5muQ4
But if we hadn't and missed the shot of 263 round the curve at Okemo in perfect storm light I think Doug would have lost it!
This is the shot I took the risk for. Green Mountain GP9 804 rides the rear of the 10 AM foliage train heading back east downgrade on the former Rutland mainline to Bellows Falls. The old Rutland bridge over the Black River in the village of Proctorsville just east of Depot St is so cool to frame a train in with its build date cut out in the top of the truss frame.
