By this time he was so close overhead that I couldn't lift the camera high enough and fast enough to keep him in the frame. It was cool!
(I had posted this shot earlier but removed it to get all three shots back in sequence. Check All Sized. I uploaded a better image.)

I've been walking in the same way as i did
And missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"is there anything i can do for you dear? is there anyone i could call?
No and thank you please madam i ain't lost just wandering"
Round my hometown memories are fresh
Round my hometown ooh the people i've met
Are the wonders of my world are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world are the wonders and now
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love it to see everybody in short skirts shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown memories are fresh
Round my hometown ooh the people i've met
Are the wonders of my world are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world
Of my world yeah of my world of my world yeah

...same as the old boss. Well almost, this is the network service van I inherited. The network tech got the new Kia. I think it's '24 and is a bit different, though ultra- modern to me. More on this beauty later.

This dry cleaning shop has been in Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury since 1959. I don’t know if the sign is the original but is certainly looks the part.

Globular springtails, bolvormige springstaarten (all black Sminthurinus sp.)
Enlarged (3x) pictures of flic.kr/p/2m15zpH. The picture in the top left corner is new, but it shows the same specimen as the bottom left picture.
The focus is on the form of the 'eyebrow', as a characteristic to identify the species.
Roel van Bezouw and Frans Janssens seem to agree:
Left and top (short square/round 'eyebrow'): Sminthurinus lawrencei
Bottom right (long almost triangular 'eyebrow'): Sminthurinus niger.
Sminthurinus niger is a rare species (in the Netherlands).
Protest gathering at the front of the State Library of Victoria aimed at legalising same sex marriage (now re-branded 'marriage equality'). The timing was deliberate as it is during the Australian Federal Election campaign with polling day three weeks after this event.
The State Library is a common place for such demonstrations, nearly always from the political left. It is located RMIT and the University of Melbourne, as well as Trades Hall, home to several unions and left-wing minor political parties.
A selection of the posters constantly plastered around the city centre for events such as this, along with the next Marxist convention from the Socialist Alternative - usually held at nearby Trades Hall. A Melbourne City Council team then goes around removing the lot soon after!
...same female as in preceding photo.
The Common Whitetail, is a common dragonfly across much of North America coast to coast, and has been recorded in all of the lower 48 continental United States. It usually can be seen hawking for small flying insects over ponds, marshes, and slow moving rivers in most regions except the higher mountain areas.
Usual habitat for the Common Whitetail is lakes, ponds and slow moving streams, but the larvae prefer a mud bottom and are tolerant of a wide rage of conditions. As a result, Common Whitetails are sometimes found places where they are the only species of dragonfly present.
Females have a brown body and a different pattern of wing spots than the male and more closely resemble the female Twelve-spotted Skimmer (Libellula pulchella). The male has brownish-black bands on its otherwise translucent wings, which gives it a checkered look. The male as it matures develops a bright flourescent white abdomen, which makes them one of the easiest dragonflies to identify while in flight.
Unlike females, which usually only visit the water to mate and lay their eggs, male Common Whitetails often rest on objects near the water, and sometimes nearby on the ground. Males are very territorial, often guarding a 10 to 30 yard stretch of the water's edge, and patrolling it often to drive off other males. The white pruinescence on the abdomen of mature males is sometimes displayed in an upright condition while in-flight to other males as a territorial threat.
Like all perchers, Common Whitetails often rest on objects near the water, but quite often perch on the ground. They also can be spotted well away from water and when they are they usually are seen perched on the ground, or very low on rocks or logs in a sunny place.

Philadelphia, often called Philly, is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the sixth-largest city in the U.S., the second-largest city in both the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City, and the 68th-largest city in the world. Since 1854, the city has been coextensive with Philadelphia County, the most populous county in Pennsylvania and the urban core of the Delaware Valley, the nation's seventh-largest and world's 68th-largest metropolitan region, with 6.245 million residents as of 2020. The city's population as of the 2020 census was 1,603,797, and over 56 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker. The city served as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774 following the Boston Tea Party, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, both the Battle of Germantown and the Siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 while the new national capital of Washington, D.C. was under construction.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Philadelphia emerged as a major national industrial center and railroad hub. The city’s blossoming industrial sector attracted European immigrants, predominantly from Germany and Ireland, the two largest reported ancestry groups in the city as of 2015. In the 20th century, immigrant waves from Italy and elsewhere in Southern Europe arrived. Following the end of the Civil War in 1865, Philadelphia became a leading destination for African Americans in the Great Migration. In the 20th century, Puerto Rican Americans moved to the city in large numbers. Between 1890 and 1950, Philadelphia's population doubled to 2.07 million. Philadelphia has since attracted immigrants from East and South Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2021, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of US$479 billion. Philadelphia is the largest center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and the broader multi-state Delaware Valley region; the city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. The Philadelphia skyline, which includes several globally renowned commercial skyscrapers, is expanding, primarily with new residential high-rise condominiums. The city and the Delaware Valley are a biotechnology and venture capital hub; and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by NASDAQ, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, including Philadelphia International Airport, the PhilaPort seaport, freight rail infrastructure, roadway traffic capacity, and warehouse storage space, are all expanding.
Philadelphia is a national cultural hub, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest contiguous urban parks and the 45th largest urban park in the world. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in total economic impact to the city and surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and a hugely loyal fan base, the city is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.
"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife."
Same evening, 28th Feb. 2013 as the warm red tones shot in the other image, this was just taken at a slightly different time and at this point looking to the right of the Tower ( mast), instead of the left where the sun is actually setting with greater intensity of colour, we have dark clouds swamping the beautiful clear sky making it feel darker. they looked quite dramatic against the clear bright sky on the left.
