Lovely Same Sex wedding with visual cues for the ASL members of the event, reception at the Powder Mills Park.
Same picture again, but this time blurred and darkened. Perhaps a bit more natural-looking in this setting. I'll try in better lighting some other time.
The same Red Admiral butterfly as in the previous six photos, but feasting for nectar from some more lilacs

The Meat Co. arrived in the UK back in 2008, opening inside and at the same time as the then brand-new Westfield, in Shepherdâs Bush (and back when Shepherdâs Bush was a bit more... âedgy' than it is now). Designed by New Yorkâs Jorge Castillo, the interior is various well chosen combinations of wooden and fiery tones, dark shades of crimson, amber and rusty orange - which works for me (but does it work for you?). This atmosphere is surprisingly warm and snug for a restaurant that essentially lives inside one of the largest shopping centres in London. Truly an oasis of food and drink amidst all the clothing retailers.
Whatâs The Meat Coâs shtick then? Steakhouse dining, South African perspective. And this is what makes them memorable in a city already so very full of excellent steakhouses. They donât push the South African thing to its logical/illogical limits, however - so whilst you'll find kangaroo on the menu, you wonât see the likes of zebra, wildebeest or crocodile (yet). You might, however, get a biltong aperitif before dinner (and how great is that?!)
Originally founded in 2000 by one of South Africaâs most prolific restauranteurs, Costa Tomazos, Meat Co went international a long time ago. Youâll find them in various parts of our wonderful planet, including the Middle East and Africa. Which is probably the reason they serve a full Halal menu, alongside their regular menu (diners are asked which theyâd like to pick from, before being seated). This seems to be working for them, as, in my recent trip there I saw quite a few Muslims (and Muslim families) dotted about the place. And whilst I am talking about families, this place is surprisingly family friendly, one of the families next to us brought their (well behaved) toddlers to dinner and as far as I can tell everything went just great for them
Like most London steakhouses, this place can get very pricey indeed. Start eyeing up a chateaubriand (£20 per 100g) or Wagyu (they donât even list how much thatâs going to cost on the menuâ¦itâs at âmarket rateâ), and you could soon see your portion of the bill creeping up into the three figures. However, like most fine-wine-and-carnivore oases dotted about the Big Smoke, this is to be EXPECTED (*sigh*) and by God, if you want to burn the money this is a fucking delicious way to do it. And another thong about that menu, it is pretty huge. If youâre the kind of person that spends 15 minutes plus salivatingover steak and meat selections, that can and probably will happen here. The âsteak tasting menuâ is a good bed for the undecided amongst us.
As for the layout of the place, downstairs you shall find the âPuza Barâ - serving bar food and cocktails (I have yet to drink there so I canât tell you if the cocktails or bar food is any good or not). Enter via a giraffe-skin patterned lift or up a stairwell that takes you past a one storey glass fronted wall of (probably) fine wines and you arrive upstairs - the restaurant area proper. Now, this place is a lot bigger than you might expect, and sure makes an impression. Stretching out in front of you is seating for around 260, an open kitchen, more walls of (again, probably) fine wine, an open fire, and the odd chair that resembles a sofa. Despite the size and openness of this floor, there are plenty of little alcoves, cloisters (can I use that word?) and more secluded spots for those who want a little privacy. Thereâs also a private dining area, hidden behind yet another wall of vino (no photos - it was in use by what looked like a large African family so youâll have to use your imagination as to what it looks like in there). All this fine upholestery and fine wine definitely contributes to what is clearly the atmosphere of a high end steakhouse.
Meat Co. also have a few loyalty schemes, the most interesting is the âPlatinum' (invitation only). Platinum gets you 10% off of your bill indefinitely, your very own steak knife (with your name on it and everything). Another good thing to mention is that The Meat Co supports the Nelson Mandela Childrenâs Fund (UK) - a few of their dishes include a donation to this fund which, in words, "is committed to creating a better future for children in South Africa."
Fuck yeah...

same building as in 5107.019 and 5107.020?
We were so focused on thinking (originally) that this roll had been shot by my father-in-law, that my husband didn't really "see" this picture at first. On a later look, he said it looked like a museum he'd been to in Kansas City. Some image searches on Google and Flickr using "Kansas City" and "museum" as keywords matched photos of the courtyard of the Nelson-Akins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. See: www.flickr.com/photos/lou/2208956935/ - this means the photo was taken in the late 70s or early 80s, not quite as old as we thought! Most likely taken in 1976.
This is Rozelle Court at the museum, and it did not always have a roof: www.nelson-atkins.org/blog/2008/04/ . According to "High Ideals and Aspirations: The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, 1933-1993," the Rozzelle court was roofed over at the end of the 1970s.
This photo is from a roll of Kodak ASA 160 Ektachrome E-2 or E-4 process film we found among some old stuff. The film was processed by Film Rescue International - www.filmrescue.com/ - I highly recommend them!

Shooting Sunset and Sunrise at the Same Time | How is that Possible?
On this weeks episode I have teamed up with a photographer on the other side of the planet, with the aim of us both shooting the sun at the exact same time. Me for Sunset and Izzy for Sunrise.
The spring equinox was almost 12 hours so the timing fell very close for us both. I headed to the West Coast of Ireland to Catch the sun as it passed by the gorgeous Skelligs and Izzy went to on the east coast of Australia .. A great idea Izzy and thanks for asking me to get involved
Be sure to head over an give Izzy's episode a watch and tell him where you came from :-)

Thanks for watching, if its your first time on the channel I would really appreciate a subscribe , it massively helps the channel, and of course a like and comment for good measure :-)
'The Mozart Works' - Sames' Piano Factory in Woodfield Road. The firm was founded in 1855 in central Birmingham but in 1889 expanded to cheaper building land in Woodfield Road, constructing a vast three-storey factory. Sparks from the nearby railway caused fires in 1913 and 1923, the latter destroying both the roof and the business.
Flint from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.
Flint is the state gemstone of Ohio. "Flint" is sometimes used as a lithologic term by modern geologists, but it is a synonym for chert. Flint and chert are the same - they are cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rocks. Rockhounds often assert that flint is high-quality while chert is low-quality. In early times, light-colored material was called "chert" and dark-colored material was called "flint". Some geologists assert that "flint" implies a biogenic origin and "chert" implies a chemical origin.
Many cherts do have a chemical origin - chert nodules are moderately common in some limestone units. The nodules form during diagenesis - pre-existing silica components in the carbonate sediments are dissolved, mobilized, and reprecipitated as chert masses. Some cherts do have a biogenic origin - for example, radiolarian cherts (rich in radiolarian microfossils) or spicular cherts (rich in siliceous sponge spicules). Another proposed origin for some chert / flint is altered quartzose eolian dust deposits on ancient seafloors.
The most famous flint deposit in Ohio is Flint Ridge, in Licking County. At this locality, the Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Vanport Flint is exposed in several places. The geologic literature on the Vanport Flint is relatively sparse, with inaccurate, incomplete descriptions and characterizations. For example, the literature describes the Vanport as a sheet of flint at Flint Ridge - it's actually a meganodule horizon. Other descriptions refer to the chert as the remains of siliceous sponges. In reality, siliceous sponge spicules are quite scarce in Vanport samples.
Two graduate student projects during the 2000s, conducted at two different universities, had very different conclusions & interpretations about the origin of the Vanport Flint. A 2003 study concluded that chert at Flint Ridge is biogenic in origin. A 2006 study concluded that the chert is chemical in origin.
Modern flint knappers value the Vanport Flint for being multicolored and high-quality (= very few impurities). With artificial heating, the flint is more easily knapped into arrowheads, spear points, and other objects. Prehistoric Americans quarried the Vanport Flint at many specific sites on Flint Ridge. Old flint pits can be seen along hiking trails in Flint Ridge State Park ("Flint Ridge State Memorial"; "Flint Ridge Ancient Quarries & Nature Preserve"). Many prehistoric artifacts found in Ohio (arrowheads & spearpoints - "projectile points") are composed of Vanport Flint.
This specimen includes chalcedony- and megaquartz-cemented flint breccia. In chert, "megaquartz" refers to eye-visible quartz crystals.
Stratigraphy: Vanport Flint, Allegheny Group, upper Middle Pennsylvanian
Locality: Nethers Flint Quarries - flint pit in the woods on the southwestern side of Flint Ridge Road, eastern Flint Ridge, far-western Muskingum County, east-central Ohio, USA (vicinity of 40° 00.137’ North latitude, 82° 11.544’ West longitude)
this is the same as a Linotype machine. It orignally was used at the Portland Press Herald. At the top is a big magazine of little molds matrices for pouring hot lead to create lines of type. An operator sat in front of this and typed in a sentence; with each keystroke a mold drops down from the magazine overhead and once the whole line of molds is in place, hot lead is poured in to create one full line of lead type. Every single line of a whole newspaper used to be made this way! After the printing is done, you can melt down the lead to use again. At the Dunstan Press in Scarborough, Maine.
These two HDR processed versions of the same scene were done from five hand-held exposures with a 1 f-stop spread. I don't pretend to know anything about this but ... The right image was simply imported into Photomatix where it was asked to align the images and make an HDR. The left side used the same five starting images but they were imported into PhotoShop as layers and PhotoShop did the alignment. The image was then cropped slightly to remove the tiny bit of the layers that had no pixel information around the edge. The layers were then saved as files and opened in Photomatix where NO ALIGNMENT was done ... just HDR processing. It may not be all that obvious from this image but the detail in the upper left of the right half image (aligned with Photomatix) has a lot more of that "processed look" because the leaves are not precisely algined. In fact, to my eye, the entire image looks more processed. What do y'all think?
I am really happy with Photomatix and don't mean to "knock" the program at all. However, I have read of hints of the differences in alignment on various sources around the web but this is the first time I have tried it myself. Actually, here lately, I have been asking PhotoShop to do all of the alignments.
I have to admit, you will have to find this image and look at it full-screen with a "slide show" to see the differences, but they are pretty obvious on my computer screen before going to flickr. Maybe I will have to blow up sections of the two images and put them together so the detail is more visible. Look under the "HDR & Panoramas" set.
This squirrel gathered nuts the same way I pick strawberries .... a few in the basket and one for the mouth. The squirrel would bury a few nuts and then take time out sample one to make sure they were good.
I am late posting this, as it was 2 weeks ago and late August when I took this picture. It was a hot and humid summer morning. The beans are fully ripe now, and the tallest I’ve ever seen them. We had lots of rain in June and July, and they grew like crazy. A lot of the crops in Indiana suffered from too much rain, but this field is doing great.
Inspired by one of the 52 Weeks in 2015 challenges, I have decided to take pictures of this same spot throughout the year. The 52 Weeks challenge is to take a picture of the same spot 4 different times throughout the year, during designated weeks. I decided to turn it into my own personal project and take a picture of this same scene at least once a month for 2015. The idea is to show the changes in different seasons and types of weather. Since it is a farm field, it will also be showing the progression of the planting, growth and harvesting of the crops. It will be soybeans this year. Progression can be seen in my album “Same Spot 2015.”
I waited for you. After a long day of dark clouds, I knew you were out there, shining somewhere. I know it's not much to offer, just ten minutes of clear sky before setting, but I know you'll make the best of it. I've made a mess of it (my mood this evening), but you settle me down because nothing else matters for now. How could it? With the light breaking through my brain, the same old brightness in a million different ways, I feel a rush like a drug, dragging me from the bottom in some fisherman's trap. I'm lifted up by the sun god, or, well, the god of the sun. I look into his one unblinking eye, and know that it is good.
