This waterfall is fed by an overflow system from Scaling Reservoir, in North Yorkshire. Heavy rain has given a nice flow and though I've not been, for many years, I thought I'd visit today.

I went to so many waterfalls in Iceland that I can't remember the name of this one. The sun was up creating intense contrast - a difficult shot. Pictured here with photographer Steve Bell balanced on a rock to give it a bit of scale

The Peterbuilt doesn't look so big when compared it to the Galaxy C-5's engines. The Galaxy C-5 is the world's largest military airplane. This one and the ones in the background are in storage at the Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Group, Tuscon, Arizona. At the time I took this picture (2012) there were over four thousand US military aircraft being stored here, and they are all wrapped for protection from the elements. I did some research and this particular airplane (0466) seems to still be there.

Weights can be evaluated only in comparison. Too much thoughts lately, it will change soon :)
I guess that ferry carries several cars, but it looks like a kids' toy on the picture.

Bornean Keeled Pitviper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus) - Malua Forest Reserve, Malaysia
A T. subannulatus from the Malaysian Rainforest in Borneo. This is probably the most common viper species in Borneo but this individual has a somewhat unusual color atleast when compared to the others which I encountered. This one had more of a blueish tint to its scales which made it a rather strikingly colored snake. By playing around with my lighting I was able to get a shot which really showed off the texture of the scales.
This is part of the front scale from a Remington 12 typewriter, from the early 20th century. The numbers reflect the scale of 10 characters per inch, with each minor tick representing the width of one character - one-tenth of an inch.
Shot for Macro Mondays' weekly theme "numbers".
Escamas de mariposa
Los colores iridiscente de las alas no se deben a un pigmento sino son el efecto de la interacción de la luz con las nanoestructuras de las escamas, y cambian dependiendo del ángulo del que se mira. Justo por ello suponen un holograma natural irrepetible.
"La complejidad en una escama es tal que incluso una parte de la escama bastaría para proteger un objeto", declara el doctor en física Dimitrije Stepanenko
Stepanenko explica que ningún elemento de protección que se usa en la actualidad es tan eficaz como una escama de mariposa. "Si alguien descubre cómo imprimir un determinado holograma en papel moneda, puede hacer muchos billetes de 100 euros. Si descubre cómo copiar una escama, lo que creemos que es imposible, pero imaginemos la situación, sólo puede falsificar un billete, porque para otro la escama es diferente y entonces debería trabajar nuevamente desde el inicio", ilustra la seguridad que puede aportar esta tecnología.
This was the first time on this trip I could stop and take all my toys from the car with enough time to enjoy.
I was designated driver at the time, my co-driver happily sleeping as the sun came up on this glorious vista. Took a while to find a safe parking spot so missed the 'Golden time' but hey, I'm not complaining. More to follow.

We don't give much notice to the ubiquitous garbage truck, yet without it, life would get pretty interesting within a few days.
In Elgin Park, there was only one such truck, owned by "Pip" Paulson, and he made the rounds tirelessly, 5 days a week.
All of the town's castoffs were taken down by the river, at a place called Bunkie's Landing. This used to be a notorious area for rum running and other nefarious activities, back in the 1920's and '30s, but times had changed and the town's dump was now there.
Back to "Pip" Paulson; he was a valued citizen who performed a very necessary task that kept the town running smoothly. He bought himself a new Buick in 1948, seen here, which he kept in tip top shape and remained his only car until he passed away in 1965.
A hail and hearty Hurrah! for the "sanitary engineers" throughout the world. This photo is dedicated to you.
As for the model...the business end of the garbage truck, in the photo, was handmade, based on an early '50s design. It is constructed of styrene plastic and found objects.
On a different note...

I've posted a mono version of a similar shot years ago, Scales Moor is a flat plateaux of limestone in the Yorkshire Dales. There are a number of Erratics like the one here scattered randomly around.

... unbelievable water power at the icelandic waterfall "Skogarfoss" ...
... no photoshop collage ...
This is my much loved Ferrari Testarossa. Not the real thing, but a prized, die cast and rather rather large 1/8th scale model.
It was made "way back" last century by a company called Pocher, (sadly no longer in business) who made the most amazing and detailed large scale models. This is actually one of the less detailed kits with just over 500 parts. It includes such detail as pop up headlights, fully opening doors, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk - which is actually at the front of this car, being a rear engined one). The fully working steering wheel is linked to the front wheels and it has full suspension. The engine has amazing detail with real rubber fan belts and the like. It is a treat to view on its own. Inside, the seatbelt material is real, and the gear lever moves through that wonderful chrome slotted H pattern gate. The seats move fore and aft, and even have reclining backrests! It even has a tiny key on a keyring which will unlock and open the doors! Some of the other more detailed vintage models go as far as having working brakes, and have real leather upholstery.
My model is in a bad way and needs some tender loving restoration. Through moving house no less than nine times, it has suffered a little with every pack and unpack. Normally it would have lovely wing mirrors, but both have broken off several times. I still have them but need to do some detailed work to get them back on again.
I will hopefully present it again one day in a better setting and with a little more attention paid to getting the forced perspective right. Here it is in our front garden under the dappled shade of our silver birch tree. In over 30 years of owning this car, this is the first time I have photographed it. I even washed and polished it (with real Meguiar's car polish) just for the occasion! (What a geek!)
This image was taken a couple of nights ago whilst exploring a location that got me back into astrophotography.
The previous night I had photographed this spot. During that night the Tawney owls were actively calling and I saw a couple of bats fly not too far from where I was setup at.
This night the owls were still active but could hear movement in front of me which I believe was a deer, betrayed by the snapping of the fallen branches. Later I heard another behind me, again being betrayed by the fallen branches.
Later at about 2:30am, I decided to explore further back to see if there was any new spots to capture the Milky Way.

Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!
