Same cosplayer (and costume) that I met at 2012 Philly Comic-Con. Much better pose and composition this time. :-D
UPDATE: My dear Flickr followers, I am truly an idiot. I have met this lady quite a few times but never realized who she was. D'oh!!
This is Alexia Jean Grey and she does some amazing cosplays. One of my best friends lusts after her.
UPDATE: Photo was featured in Compendium of Cool Comics Cosplay: Kick Ass Women of Comics Edition (11/16/2012). They chose THREE of my pics for this article!!!! YAY!!!!! ^.^!!
Same beach as the image I posted yesterday, different circumstances every night. This time it was a very windy sunset, a longer exposure was impossible.
66126 is seen passing through Kays Crossing on 6V05 Round Oak to Margam. This train was diverted via Hereford and Malvern due to signalling upgrade work meaning no trains could run from Worcester Shrub Hill to Droitwich Spa. The same loco had hauled this working in the opposite direction. Observed on 8th August 2016.
The first adult sharp-shinned hawk that I have seen and photographed at my home. He/she is sitting on the same perch that a juvenile has been using. In fact a juvenile Sharpie was perched in the same spot at 7:45 am and again after this bird left.
Photographed through an open window with camera on tripod on a rather dark, cloudy, foggy day.. After taking a few hand held shots through window glass I was able to put my camera on a tripod and opene the window for this and a number of other shots which I will likely post latter. I was surprised that this bird didn't fly and that it continued to pose for me as long as I wanted to take photos and stayed well after I decided that more than 100 photos was enough. This bird stayed on the same perch for about 1.5 hours then flew to a fence post and stayed at least another hour.
Thanks to Birdergirl I think I finally have correct id. According to guide books and Internet sites this bird is distinguished from Cooper's Hawk in part by the square shorter tail and narrower white terminal band. Also this bird is smaller with smaller head but I can't seem to see that difference in the many photos that I have viewed. The breast feathers are different but that is another diagnostic that I can't seem to recognize. When this bird and the other hawks that I have watched and photographed spread their tail feathers the entire tail and the other feathers appear round, not square, one of the reasons I mis-identified these birds.

This colorful installation on the waterside of the Jonas Daniel Meijerplein can photographed in different ways. According to the artist the best point of view are to look through the rings. I chose to do this in conjunction with another light scultpure next to the Hortus Botanicus garden, Friendala. Both part of the Water Colors boat tour but also part of the Illuminade walking route.
Amsterdam Light Festival
The fourth edition for this Winter event in the city of Amsterdam. No longer do we have to dread the dark winter months in Amsterdam. Thanks to Amsterdam Light Festival, Amsterdam is transformed every year into a true city of lights with the help of contemporary (inter)national light artists. During this annual festival for young and old, both the residents of Amsterdam and the city’s many visitors are treated to a spectacle of light. At the same time, the festival offers talented (young) light artists a platform to present their latest work.
This year, the 55-day festival is dedicated to theme 'Friendship' and can be visited from 28 November 2015 to 17 January 2016. Water Colors will take place from 28 November 2015 to 17 January 2016 and the walking route Illuminade will take place from 10 December 2015 to 3 January 2016. Let's celebrate the winter together with art, light and water!

Bands of Friendship
Artist: Vikas Patil & Santosh Gujar [ Light designer & architect ]
Location: Jonas Daniel Meijerplein
Bands of Friendship, created by the two Indian architects Vikas Patil and Santosh Gujar, is a nice reflection of how people from outside the EU look at this continent, i.e. with hope and appreciation. The project is based on a typically present-day phenomenon: the colourful bands of friendship girls and boys (and also many men and women) wear around their wirsts to confirm their friendship or to show that they’re supporting a good cause. These are the bands of friendship the title refers to, nine of them in as many colours.
Bands of Friendship symbolizes endless friendship and has been positioned in such a way that the spectator may look at them from different angles with changing meanings from every perspective. If you look at them sidelong, the rings are still separate, individual and unattached, independent like the countries within the European Union. But move aside, and slowly but surely the rings become attached; the Union gains form. A few more steps bring you right in front of the entrance to the rings and you look into the multicoloured tunnel of progress and prosperity, the ideal Europe stands for. The artists, both architects, hope that this work, abstract and figurative at the same time, will incite people on the one hand, to enlarge their own circle of friends as much as possible, and on the other hand to remain positive about Europe’s ideals.
Vikas Patil is an architect and light designer from India. After obtaining his Master’s degree from the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan, he worked on several projects in India, Europe and various Arabic countries. Patil has continued to develop his passion for lighting design while working as the director of the Mumbai-based Studio ALBA Lighting Design since 2011.
The Indian architect Santosh Gujar studied architecture at the Sir JJ College of Architecture in Mumbai. In his current position as consulting architect, he often works with small architecture firms, enabling him to share his knowledge on design issues and regional development. Gujar and Patil complement each other with regards to aesthetic and technical matters.
Kicking myself for misjudging the focal length, but that's how we learn. He's what, maybe six feet away?
On the 13 Jun 2018 I had once again toured the oldest prison in Canada that closed officially on the 30 Sep 2013 . My last tour was on the 13 October 2013 so much of the insides still had remnants of the former occupants.
I went on the extended tour this time so saw much more than we did the first time around. The exercise yard towards the back of the prison which, when we first toured was still fenced in, we could actually venture out into. This is the turnstile from inside the yard versus this earlierphoto of mine in the comment box below from outside looking in.

Decibelle is one of many creations from a group of various engineers. Their goal is to create androids that are catered to a specific task. She was created as a radio technician and was programmer to be a social communications tower. She is the older sister to Circuit, who was created by the same group.
After a sudden power down, she awoke to a new world where she was sheltered from the world. Due to her being unable to travel and move, she used her skill to gather others who would travel to her location and get her information from there. She grew bored with her time, wanted to interact more with the world around her. She had heard of people who would perform on the Internet for fun and money.
She outfitted herself with the appropriate equipment for gaming, the most popular genre of online entertainment. She gave herself an alternate face to her original ‘cyclops’ face that is meant for function, with a cleaner looking face that she assumed viewers would like more. She marketed herself as playing games she had never played before, and while streaming online, she had her webcam pointed from the waist up to hide her tower-like lower body.
She was recognized quickly, and was later contracted by news outlets and broadcast studios to cover events and add commentary. She developed small drones to be her outside eyes, and experience traveling in the world she resides without being able to leave.

…different day, new light. Another view from Rabbit Island Beach.
Version 2 is a re-work of the original with a lighter hand on the colours, a touch of de-saturation and a removal of most of the blue to emphasize the drama. I hope you like it!

You youngins may not have seen one of these, but if you were a kid in the 70’s you’d be a nobody if this wasn’t your mode of transportation! You’re looking at a Big Wheel and with no horsepower under the hood…or no hood to speak of, I’m hoping the admin staff over at LUGNuts will accept this unconventional entry in their All But Four
build challenge. As I’m half the admin staff there I’m guessing it’ll have a fighting chance…plus what it lacks in horsepower more than makes up for it in cool nostalgia! With its handbrake, a kid could do the most wicked spinouts ever…but like all things cool in the 70’s the big wheel was deemed too dangerous and replaced with safer toys…like video games. Still, in my opinion, you haven’t lived unless you’ve rode your big wheel at top speed down a steep hill, off a plywood ramp, purposefully ran down and injured a bicyclist, then spun out of control, doing a face plant on asphalt and skidding 30 feet into oncoming traffic, nearly getting run over by a VW bus! I sure loved my big wheel…and I have the scars to prove it.
