And now for something completely different .....
My apologies to the writers of "Good Golly Miss Molly," for ever so slightly tinkering with the lyrics, in the name of good old Flickr fun. I simply changed the word "ball" for "Tulip." See and hear how the classic song should be sung by clicking on the following link, which will take you to a fun film version.
First, though, a viewing tip. Please right click on the link, and select "open link in new tab." That way you can have the music playing in the background while viewing this series of shots at the same time. You can also switch to the video at anytime in that other window to feast on Little Richard's astonishing performance.
I, personally, found it best to scroll down each picture in time with the song. One final thing, there are twenty-eight seconds of dialogue from the film scene before The King, Little Richard, struts his stuff. It took some time to put all this together but I had fun. Hope you guys do too. So here we go, here's that link ~~~
I thought of my husband when I photographed this flower. He is a violin maker. This flower has its own beautiful scrolls. They remind me of the scrolls of his violins. Well, art imitates life all of the time. I like all types of art because art makes me feel and feeling is an essential part of being alive. A good day, afternoon, evening or night to all!

Having some issues here on Flickr so hoping my postings are being seen
Tried several times this morning and after having to log in and out constantly it eventually wouldn't let me on at all
Sadly I'm not able to see most of your images. At present I'm only seeing six images and it won't let me scroll any further
A post captured some time ago now, although from the videos I've watched on youtube, things got a little feisty lately when there was a rather high spring tide
A conversion to B&W seems to add even more drama

Scrolled. Or screwed. Almost. Why? Because I almost managed to break my violin, the macro lens and the camera while taking this shot. What had happened? Well, in order to get the best shooting distance without piling box upon box and then my small table top tripod on top of it all, I mounted my camera on my small traveller tripod, camera pointing lens down to my violin's neck and scroll. So far, so good. I should mention, however, that, while the camera was mounted tightly and safely on the tripod, I had placed my violin on several cardboard boxes to get the right distance to the camera and the background. You know what was happening next, don't you? So I moved the violin, because the scroll wasn't quite centered, then thought "Why not move the tripod instead?," and... bang. Because the boxes moved as well. Next thing I know is that I still tried to catch the camera, but too late, the camera on tripod fell right onto my violin's neck. I heard a nasty sound. And thought "That's it." After a short moment of shock I thought, "OK, so you had a filter and the lens hood (which was still on the lens, but at a rather weird angle) attached, so the lens and camera are probably OK." They were. Phew. Then I took an anxious look at my violin. Still OK as well. Another phew. As it is, the lens hood (which is retractable, it's rather cool) had taken most of the impact, and all that actually happened was that the E-string broke. Huge phew. And the moral of this story? Don't place your stuff on cardboard boxes. Oh, and I forgot: this was lit from below and the side (right).
Needless to say I decided to stop taking more captures afterwards. It was late again anyway. Processed, as usual, in Luminar (develop filter, Accent-Al filter, detail enhancer, microstructure). Then on to Nik's Silver Efex for the black and white conversion. I started off with a preset this time, the "full spectrum inverted" (my translation, it's preset no. 018) which I still tweaked a little, then back to LR for finishing touches (colour preset "high contrast and details", yes, it works for b&w images as well 😉).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Zur Schnecke gemacht
Fast. Fast wären nämlich meine Geige und mein Makroobjetiv bei dieser Aktion zu Bruch gegangen. Was war passiert? Um die nötige Distanz zum Motiv, der Schnecke meiner Geige, zu bekommen, hatte ich dieses Mal vernünftigerweise die Kamera gleich kopfüber am (nicht ausgefahrenen) kleinen Manfrotto Elements befestigt, anstatt wie sonst üblich einen Karton auf den anderen zu stapeln und zum Schluss das kleine Tischstativ obendrauf zu stellen. So weit, so gut, so sicher. Dafür kamen besagte Kartons aber als Unterlage für die Geige zum Einsatz, um genug Abstand zum Hintergrund zu haben und noch ein Stückchen näher an die Kamera zu kommen (das Makro hat 19 cm Mindestabstand). Es kam, wie es kommen musste, ich arrangierte die Schnecke noch ein wenig mittiger, verrückte dann das Stativ noch ein bisschen - und die Kartons verrückten sich dann wie von Zauberhand selbst, was das Stativ zum Umkippen brachte. Natürlich direkt auf den Hals meiner Geige. Krack. Ich dachte schon "Das war's", aber nach einer kurzen Schrecksekunde konnte ich feststellen, dass die (aus- und einfahrbare) Gegenlichtblende den Sturz abgefedert hatte. Uff. Nicht mal der Filter hatte was abbekommen. Die Geige auch nicht. Lediglich die E-Saite war gerissen. Glück gehabt. Danach habe ich die Kamera dann aber abgebaut und die Geige wieder sicher verstaut, Lust auf weitere Kopfüber-Makros hatte ich nicht mehr. Aber zum Glück war ein brauchbares Foto im Kasten, das ich dann in Luminar (vor-)entwickelt habe (regulärer Entwickeln-Filter, Accent-Al-Filter, Details und Microstruktur) und in Niks Silver Efex in SW umgewandelt habe. Hier habe ich als Startpunkt ausnahmsweise mal eine der Voreinstellungen (018, "vollständiges Spektrum invertiert") genommen und dann noch ein bisschen angepasst. In LR habe ich dann noch die Voreinstellung "Farbe - Hoher Kontrast / Details (ja, funktioniert auch bei SW-Bildern 😉) für mehr "Knackigkeit" verwendet. Ach ja, beleuchtet hatte ich das Ganze von rechts und von unten.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
please note: this is a cute picture, not an enb showcase! i’m a console peasant! please disregard the lowpoly bear!

Last Friday my classmate Jean-Pierre Jobogo Mirindi submitted the final draft of his thesis, had a little celebration on Saturday night and returned to the Congo on Sunday where he is a ranger in the extremely dangerous Virunga National Park, where gorillas and rangers are frequently murdered (200 rangers since 1994!).
It was a small send off, only Professor Tom Hayden, head of the department of zoology in UCD, his friend (she took the pic) and me. Tom's book, Exploring Irish Mammals, is the definitive work on the subject, and if you'd like to hear about one of the more extraordinary cases he has dealt with follow this link www.rte.ie/news/2006/1018/drivetime.html

Excerpt from historicwalkingtrail.com/location/texas-masonic-lodge/:
The Texas Lodge Masonic Hall is one of the oldest, most iconic buildings in San Juan Bautista, andthe second oldest masonic lodge in California that is still active in its original location. The Free and Accepted Masonsis the first fraternal organization in San Juan.
Edward Farris Storey migrated to California with 42 other Texan Masons in 1852, and was granted a charter in 1854 to found a Masonic Lodge in the area of San Juan. By the end of 1854, according to Lodge minutes, membership was 20. The Masons met in various places until the National Hotel (located where Verutti Park is now) was built in 1858, and a room was made available for their meetings. Membership had grown to 110 by 1867 when they decided to build their own building. A wooden sign above the Texas Lodge Masonic Hall entrance reads “Texas Lodge #46 F&AM Chartered May 6, 1854, Building Completed, June 24, 1869.”
The upper floor of the building has continued to be used as the meeting hall of the Masons, and the lower floor was originally rented to doctors and other professionals. The large main room downstairs has served in a variety of capacities over the years. It was used for the Wells Fargo Express Office, the Justice of the Peace Office, the meeting space for monthly City Council meetings around the turn of the 19th century; then the telephone company used the space from 1901-1924; the U.S. Post Office was then housed in the space, followed by the San Juan library until 1979. Most recently, the downstairs rooms have been rented to businesses .
This rectangular two and a half story building is constructed in the Italianate Victorian style with a wood-framed structural system on a concrete foundation. The façade is symmetrical and has a 3-step stairway leading to a central recessed entrance flanked by 4 symmetrically placed 8-pane vertical window doors with triangular pediment moldings above.
The second story has 5 vertical paired arched windows with elaborate molded pediments above. The overhanging boxed cornice features scroll corbels and decorated parapet. A recessed central gable pediment tops the cornice and denotes the main entrance, and the front door swings both inward and outward. A rectangular tower with a low overhanging hipped roof and tall arched windows rises from the junction of the central gable and the medium pitched, side-gabled roof made of corrugated metal. The sides feature symmetrically placed 6-pane sash windows with molded cornice and a broken pediment on the lower cornice of the roof gable. Other notable features are quoined wood corners imitating stone, the framed semi-circular air vents within the side pediments, and the horizontal redwood shiplap siding throughout. One-story medium-gabled roof additions extend from the rear; an iron fire escape on the east side and a wooden fire escape on the west were also added. The original board sidewalk along the full width of the building was replaced with a gravel walk, which was then transitioned to concrete steps. In 2017 the building underwent a much-needed, extensive renovation and exterior painting.
Freemasonry describes itself as a “beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.”Accordingly, buildings are to be constructed in an east/west orientation (sunrise and sunset), representing Solomon’s Temple. This building adorns gold enhancement of the starburst pattern framed within the side gables and the gold ball atop the cupola, depicts the sun at meridian height. Symbols and rituals abound in the upstairs meeting room: the compass and the square, which is the most widely known symbol of Masonry, the all-seeing eye, and the letter G, symbolizing both geometry and God. Masons use metaphors from geometry and the architecture of stonemasonry to represent their ongoing pursuit of knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills.
Challenge this week is curves. I went to my favorite instrument for inspiration. This is a closeup of the scroll of my cello.

This image won't be for everyone. I would be surprised if it garners even a pause as you scroll by on your image feed. While I was culling photos from earlier months, I came across a series that I shot at Hydro, in March of this year. It was a dark and gloomy spring evening, where the rain was alternating between steady, and of monsoon quantities.
Something about the image caught my attention though. Beyond the inherent grain from shooting at 8,000 ISO, the low shutter speed had produced a bloom effect with the lights which reminds me of the way that slide film would behave in similar situations. This intrigued me enough to spend half an hour playing around with the file between three different software programs, before reaching the result I present above. I had to remove much of the grain effect in Topaz to get a balance of the other properties that I liked.
Let me know what you think.
For those that are interested in the scene itself, CN eastbound marine stack train Q106 is entering the CN Yale Sub mainline off of the short, two mile long Rawlison Sub. The Rawlison Sub was built as part of the BC Harbours Board Railway project in the late 1960's, which was the rail component of the project to create the Roberts Bank "superport" for the export of metallurgical coal from mines in BC's southeast. Holding the south track, and waiting for its turn down the Rawlison is CP's daily A71 transfer job from Coquitlam Yard to Deltaport at Roberts Bank. Typically this transfer brings containers that arrived via the downtown Vancouver terminals of Vanterm or Centerm to Roberts Bank to be sent out with the eastbound 148 or 114 trains, or containers to be shipped out via Roberts Bank that arrived into Coquitlam from the east on the 101, or 113 trains. Today, A71 is just a solo AC4400CWM, being sent to augment the power already at Roberts Bank for an upcoming eastbound intermodal.

I bought a four volume collection of Oriental Art at a flea market for a dollar. This illustration is captioned “Poem scroll decorated with painting of cranes". Painting by Tawaraya Sotatsu; painting by Hannami Koetsu. ink, gold and silver on paper, Early 17th c.
Scanning the two halves proved difficult as it's printed across the full adjoining pages, I had to lay the book on the porch and photograph it in RAW and remove the crease, the ‘divide’ of the print with Photoshop. I loved the graphic elements of the painting and all the movement displayed by the birds.
