This is the same National Park like in the photo I posted some days ago. I only brightened it a bit. In real life the color of the water seems even more amazing.
Same view as yesterday but luckily today; I caught this sunset at the right time as the golden orb slipped below the horizon.
Same POV as previous photo, just a different pose. Photo taken at Queens PArk Nature Centre, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.

After the retaining wall collapsed some of the bulbs got moved around. This is one of the results of the mixing.
Some of my best work IMHO, comment and note your thoughts :3. The optics are planted inside of the suits used to fire this rifle :3, the iron sights are super high tech and require the suit to view down :D.

The same train seen in the prior post is pulling down the siding in Browning approaching the Heart Butte Road crossing near MP 1123.9 on BNSF's Hi Line Sub. The battered and worn wooden ex Great Northern depot is just out of sight to the left.
The snow is blowing fiercely and the temperature was NEGATIVE nine degrees, which may explain why this crew was heard on the radio trying to talk the dispatcher out of stopping at Browning for a pickup. Alas, they lost the argument which is why they are seen here crawling down the siding.
A classic set of power common for that time is in charge as BNSF 8266 (EMD SD75M blt. Feb. 1996) leads EMDX 9081 (Oakway leasing EMD SD60 blt. Dec.1986) and BNSF 822 (GE C40-8W blt. Apr. 1992 still in as delivered Santa Fe warbonnet paint).
The old wigwam burner at the sawmill at left makes for a nice prop and harkens to another era. A wigwam burner is a waste disposal facility commonly used by sawmills in the Pacific Northwest during the first half of the 20th century. In the process of sawing lumber out of logs there is necessarily portions of the log that cannot be made into lumber. This includes the bark, sawdust, planer shavings as well as the 'slabs' or rounded portions of the log that are sliced off. By the second part of the 20th century markets for this 'waste' was often found, but before that it was the norm to burn it. The problem with burning it was that one needed to avoid burning the mill while disposing of the waste. The Wigwam burner (so called because of its shape) was essentially a large 'burn barrel'.
A conveyor usually fed the wood products in the top, and it was vented some around the base to control the fire. Screens at the top were designed to let the smoke out, but attempted to control the cinders and sparks which would threaten the area. In those days the pungent odor of wet wood burning was always associated with sawmills as the fires burned most of the time and smoked profusely. Environmental issues related to the smoke lead to them being banned in many states as early as the 1960's, but by then their use was in decline. Mills and found a way to chip the slabs and larger pieces of wood and sell the chips for paper making. This left a much lower volume of waste, just the sawdust, planer shavings and bark which itself is often used in landscaping or ground into wood pellets for modern stoves leading to almost no wood waste and relegating artifacts like this to the history books.

same subjetc but here i've tried new ways..what do you think about it?
I like to make this kind of stuff. It is just an unusual relaxing theraphy like meditation or knitting!!! 8)
whats your unusual relaxing therapy?
Same as those on previous picture but having more repetitions of the same pattern... Not as effective as flower tower, as here next level is less than half, thus it's eating more paper. Folded from 30 cm of kami. The last level I opted not to try to finish it completely as it wasn't enough precise for that. The finish on the center is the same as on violet doodle... :)
Taken with a small 'point and shoot' underwater housing camera which captured the red but it is very grainy. It really was red but the heavy cloud cover did not allow for much time to capture it well. When I see some of the other shots in areas where the sky was clear, I just think wow, how awesome! I had only a few minutes when the moon came from behind a High Rise building and peeped through a very heavy cloud before going back under the cloud cover. My other camera did not fare much better in capturing this awesome moon.
The rocks are different in sizes but they carry the same weight (or importance) in the picture.
It is like Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier Bresson are all great photographers. However I learn from the pictures of my Flickr friends as much as what I learned from these photographers with fame and reputation.
Thank you to you all! If I have made any progress in my two years’ journey on Flickr, credit goes to you!
Happy Monday and week!
The same lessons that led to the development of the M-72AB Zastava Zmey were applied to some of the JNA's other armored vehicles. That is to say, the omnipresence of incredibly mature anti-tank munitions and countermeasures left many of Yugoslavia's vehicles exposed to lethal threats during the Second Eastern European War. Indeed, despite what many contemporaneous public reports stated, this rebuke of Yugoslavia's armored forces was felt most heavily among those that rode and served in the M-81A Ipabogs. Rather than being designed for sustained confined warfare, the Ipabog was meant to ambush and overwhelm. This discrepancy in modus operandi would come to haunt the JNA during the war's peak.
To rectify these concerns, the Ministry of Defense once again turned to Zastava Arms (hence the new designation) to create a suite of applique for the M-81 series. Many of the improvements and additions are simply commonsense items: explosive reactive armor, a dozer blade, hardened underbelly, slat armor, and an active protection system. Although many of these add-ons obviously improve the overall protection of the vehicle writ large, particular emphasis was paid to the troop bay in the rear--if the dismounts can arrive in good health, then they can offer 360-degree protection for their respective vehicles. Whether or not this idea translates to reality has yet to be seen. Indeed, it appears that NATO is doing its utmost to see that Belgrade never has a chance to use its new toys. Still, that hasn't stopped the Balkan nation from stirring up trouble in the past, so the future might be bathed in red as well.

Here is another frame from the same location as the prior post.
Engineer Larry Pitbladdo throttles up his four big six axle Alco and MLW monsters coming up from a sag seen here at about MP 106.6 on the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad's Pocono Mainline.
A local railfan recommended this spot just before a curve that is exactly one mile to the east of Tobyhanna station. The long telephoto lense pulls the scene in highlighting the mangled ties at left from the long removed second main track harkening to the days when this was the DL&W's heavy duty mainline hosting innumerable anthracite coal drags, hot merchandise, and glamorous passenger trains such as the famed Phoebe Snow. Those days may be gone but the one daily train the D-L runs puts on one of the greatest shows in all the land!
The four Delaware Lackawanna units in charge are: 3643 (MLW M636 blt. Nov. 1970 as CP 4743), 3642 (Alco C636 blt. Apr. 1968 as PC 6342), 3007 (MLW M630 blt. Dec. 1970 as PGE 707) , 3000 (MLW M630 blt. Dec. 1970 as PGE 706)

Same place as previous photo.
I have previously posted a scan of this from a print but this one is from the negative which is a little better.
On the bridge is NZR Locomotive Ja 1275 made in 1952.
The car is my 1960 Ford Zephyr .
A very wet day in 1967.
B&W square negative.
Ja1275 is an oil burner.
Same batch as from my previous posting but in the later all red livery and cream band.
Utility buses were built during and in the years following WW2 when raw materials were in short supply. It resulted in a variety of unlikely chassis and body builders buses running under the heading of London Transport.

I managed to squeeze in the comet 62P/Tsuchinshan (on the left) and supernova SN2024gy in NGC4216 (brightest on the right) into the same frame. The supernova is the star like object just to the left of the core of the galaxy.
