Do you need me to spell it out loud?
You screwed it up plot twist, moved on and now you want me
To play games like a wannabe (shots fired, fired)
Tough luck, you're kidding yourself
Plot twist, moved on and now you want me
You're playing games like a wannabe
LONG BEFORE AMMUNITION FACTORIES CHURNED out bullets using sophisticated automated technology, the weapons industry in the U.S. relied on shot towers like this one. Built in Philadelphia in 1808, the Sparks family kept it running for four generations. In its day, the Sparks tower revolutionized the production of ammunition. You would simply drop molten lead from the top of the tower into a pool of water below. The instant cooling would transform the molten lead into bullets. This sped up the process of producing ammunition enormously. The Sparks tower was an important processing site during the war of 1812 and the Civil War.
Thomas Sparks, a plumber, built the 140-ft high brick tower

Shot with a Macro Extension Tube 10mm + 16mm
A macro shot of a sand dollar.
Sand dollars, like all members of the order Clypeasteroida, possess a rigid skeleton known as a test. The test consists of calcium carbonate plates arranged in a fivefold radial pattern.
Dead individuals are commonly found with their empty test devoid of all surface material and bleached white by sunlight.
I was never aware of their existence until my visit to Coco Plum Beach, Bahamas.
It's on the north end of Great Exuma island, a spot that has become renowned for its shelling and the wonderful sand dollars you can find there, especially during low tide.

I was standing with my tripod at Reflection Lakes in Mount Rainier National Park, not too far from another couple of photographers who apparently were either at this spot or near it. I overheard one say to the other "There's the calendar shot!" After they left, I was picking up to head back to the vehicle when I looked over and saw this view. Yup, a calendar shot if there ever was one.

Coyote, Yellowstone National Park, USA by Agnish Dey
With a lengthy train, it was a close call to get to the Toimi overpass in time after shooting them at the Nelson Road grade crossing just a little ways west of here, but I think the results were worth the effort as the head end pops in and out of some early morning shadows.
Another shot of the A.T.S. Automatics HB Torana Trik Shot.
You don't see to many HD Toranas and this one is is a little more special than most with its power plant. The motor is a mechanically supercharged Holden six and is sure to generate more than a few smiles when the right foot is planted towards the floor. Must have been quite a few days and nights getting it sorted, but it was in my opinion a stand out of the show.
