Leviticus 14:41 “And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place.”
This is old. I lost everything on my hard drive, and the only photos I have from the past two years are either on flickr, in my sent mail on Gmail (because I sent a lot of pictures to my grandpa), on facebook, or on photobucket. So I've been scraping up any photos I can find, and I found this one and I really liked it. It was my favorite from this shoot.
Since I deleted the past three pictures I uploaded before this, here's what you missed if you didn't read:
My laptop's hard drive crashed and I lost everything except for a couple pictures (I got it fixed and it works fine I just lost everything). My DSLR broke but I have insurance so I'm gonna get it fixed when I get back from Florida. That's pretty much it.

This is a photo of the hull on a fishing boat that has been scraped prior to being repainted. I love how the project has unintentionally created a fantastic abstract image that could be hanging in an art gallery. There are some intriguing pareidolia portraits in the image.
A new buck has shown at the scrapes we have staked out and started his own scrape. He's rubbed orbital scent on the leaves above, urinated down his back legs, and is pawing the ground to leave his mark.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Restharrow scrape.
This was unexpected (though it's appropriate for the temperatures we been suffering).
It didn't stick around too long though. The Canada geese chased the barnacle, a swan chased both the barnacle and Canada geese and the black headed gulls plagued the swan. No a lot of peace and quiet to be had.
I first heard about this legendary lens in 2006, just as I was really getting serious doing photography. I was 20 and it was way out of my price range, and why would anyone want an old manual focus lens? The allure of this special lens and the way it renders the light the passes through it is just something special. I’ve kept my eye on the pricing of this lens since then. I’ve read countless blogs about how it is so special...I just couldn’t ever convince myself to pull the trigger and buy one.
Then one day this July I was reading a blog post about this lens, one I’d read 100 times before and I thought I’d check the prices. On eBay they were all going for what I was expecting and I thought to myself I’d check KEH Camera a very reputable used gear seller. To my surprise, they had one in stock. It was about ¼ less than what they were going for on eBay and KEH rated this one as “bargain” quality.
If you’ve ever bought from KEH you’ll know that their ratings are VERY generous. I thought I’d take the chance and if it was in poorer condition I’d send it back with their generous return policy. The lens arrived, glass in perfect condition, and a single scrape on the metal lens barrel, other than that it was in perfect condition.
So I kept it, and have just fallen in love with this lens. I’m so glad it lived up to all the hype and I love the images I’ve taken with it so far. I look forward to the ones I haven’t taken yet. This is one of those lenses I’ll never sell or part with.
In the Dance in the Destruction Dance by Joo Choon Lin performed at the Singapore Arts Museum as part of the Singapore Biennale 2022 exhibition during Singapore Arts Week 2023, movement, sound and form explore the distinction between our reality and appearance.
How we experience the world often depends on how our senses and mind interpret things.
Benny and Mr. Robot in the awesome "Liberazione" diorama by oirad72. Thank you Dario for your hospitality! ;-)
Rain has stopped play so an old image to greet the last week of the year :-)
Hope that it's a good one! (week ) :-)
The tanker pilot comes in just behind the ridge and above the treetops. This is a different Lockheed P-2 Neptune than the one I posted the other day. It's a beautiful plane that is somewhat reminiscent of WWII bomber designs.

The Pectoral Sandpiper is a small migratory wader and it nests in holes which are scraped in the ground, they then put a thick lining into this deep hole to lay their four eggs in which will keep them safe and sheltered from cool breezes because of its ground laying habit. These birds forage on grassland and mudflats, picking up food they sight and sometimes by probing. They mainly eat arthropods and other invertebrates. The male has a courtship display which involves puffing up his breast which has a fat sac in the breeding season to enhance his performance.
I don't think so, 603 has suffered unecessary storage and finally it's reactivated!
C510, BRM002, 603 and C505 lead loaded Allied Pinnacle grain train 3244 into Picton. 603 has been stored since 2013 and SSR have recently put the time into reactivating it. Given how useful and reliable similar locos 602 and 4532 it is welcoming to see this loco back.

Restharrow Scrape, Sandwich Bay - it's Snipe season again at the scrape, once you start seeing them you find them all over the scrape. They are very well camouflaged if they sit tight in the reeds. I suspect there could have been twice that number if they had been flushed?
Tri-colored Heron feeding on menhaden on Horsepen Bayou. Unusual in that the first strike apparently missed but instead of hitting reset, the bird pursued its target until almost its whole body was submerged. Came up with the fish and never lost its grip on the pole.
Peregrine Falcon
From Cornell:
The Peregrine Falcon is a very fast flier, averaging 40-55 km/h (25-34 mph) in traveling flight, and reaching speeds up to 112 km/h (69 mph) in direct pursuit of prey. During its spectacular hunting stoop from heights of over 1 km (0.62 mi), the peregrine may reach speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph) as it drops toward its prey.
Another version from a series I made a long while ago. Probably my favorite vantage point of HK central.
IFC1 and IFC2 and BOC and Cheung Kong are visible in the image.
