I found this sideway flower in the almost dark place beside of a road in Bangkok. Life of flowers are really shot and if it dream to be a Flickr flower it must be really special or really beautiful or really lucky! (don't laugh human life is also really shot, have you really know what is your dreams?) For these unfortunate flowers which is born beside the road and too simple and live in absolutely dark place no one can help them to be a Flickr flower. Anyways I think every flowers(and also every man) are good and beautiful in their own way! For these flowers I think though they may not fullfill their dream as Flickr flowers they still good enough to be a sideway traffic flowers, everythings can be good and beautiful in their own ways I think!!!
Snake River Overlook and a View to the Tetons. This is without a doubt a magical place to stand to take in a view of mountains, especially knowing the history of photography from past images captured over the decades. I've stood at this point twice so far, letting my senses overwhelm me with my eyes and the wondrous view to the Tetons, the feel the wind blowing across my face and skin (even on a cold winter day), and the sounds of the occasional tree rustling with the passing breeze or croaking sounds of a raven flying overhead. Eventually, I get around to my camera and capture an image, which I posted is here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/26394397060/in/album-7...).
To the digital painting, this was my second one done on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil but the first using Adobe illustrator Draw. I will say that there are differences with this program and Adobe Sketch! The way the app functions brings out those differences. With the latter app the pencil can be used sideway on the edge to seemingly brush out a lighter detail which I found handy with clouds. Adobe Draw being a vector based app doesn't allow for that. Other than those differences, I found this similar enough and continued to work on using the contrasts of hues and tones to bring out details as a painting might. I also used layers to work with those subtle color differences to bring out terrain and mountainside.
In the right foreground of the digital painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, loving my time exploring Grand Teton National Park...a beautiful wintry wonderland!

Standing on the mountain sideway waiting the daybreak, slightly color of sky was softly as touch of baby skin and the fresh air that never experienced in city life.
Built for Xorg's Challenge.
Meets all his standards, I do believe.
-12-gauge: check, though that is the easy part.
-Must have a stock: check... yeah, that stock isn't going anywhere.
-Cannot exceed 30" overall: check, measured shorter against a 29" barrel.
-Must hold at least 12 rounds: check, ammunition capacity of 50 rounds stacked sideway p90-style.
-Must be tacticool accessible: Check, four rails and a removable handguard for modular attachments.
-Must be badass: I hope so, check.
Time for a surf pic again :) Here's a young fellow who knows how to transform sideway speed to vertical.
‘I have occasionally described my standpoint to my friends as the “narrow ridge,” ‘ writes Buber. ‘I wanted by this to express that I did not rest on the broad upland of a system that includes a series of sure statements about the absolute, but on a narrow rocky ridge between the gulfs where there is no sureness of expressible knowledge but the certainty of meeting what remains undisclosed
-Martin Buber: The Life of Dialogue by Maurice S. Friedman
Eggs and Sausage
Tom Waits
Tears of condensation run down the window as eggs and sausages are devoured. Not quite an American diner, the pasty shop at the station sells breakfast! I hoped the picture fitted a bit of the mood of the song. I’ve included the full lyrics below, I think it reads like poetry.
Eggs and Sausage by Tom Waits
‘Nighthawks at the diner
Of Emma's 49er, there's a rendezvous
Of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
All the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs
Now the paper's been read
Now the waitress said
Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie?
In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade
Two for a quarter, dime for a dance
With Woolworth rhinestone diamond
Earrings, and a sideway's glance
And now the register rings
And now the waitress sings
(chorus) the classified section offered no direction
It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
Now the touch of your fingers
Lingers burning in my memory
I've been 86ed from your scheme
I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair
As the lead pipe morning falls
And the waitress calls’
Here's an image to share from a week ago when fog was flowing parallel to the golden gate bridge.. i heard this type of fog movement is a rarity as fog usually flows from the northwest and out towards the east.. enjoy and thank you for visiting!
Small circular glass bulbs dot the sidewalks of Soho–are they chic street stylings or art? The glass circles are actually remnants of Soho’s industrial past, a signifier of the original factory function of the buildings. The glass bulbs are actually tiny windows–called “vault lights” or deadlights–to allow sunlight into the basement factories before the introduction of electricity.

De gewone wolzwever (Bombylius major) is een vlieg van het geslacht Bombylius uit de familie wolzwevers (Bombyliidae). De soort komt in Nederland en België algemeen voor op zandige en zonnige taluds langs bosranden en in tuinen. De soort lijkt op een hommel of bij, hoewel deze laatsten vliesvleugeligen zijn, dus geen familie. Deze gelijkenis is geen toeval, maar berust op mimicry; het verschijnsel dat ongevaarlijke soorten op minder onschuldige soorten lijken, zoals ook voorkomt bij de verwante zweefvliegen. Wolzwevers hebben namelijk geen angel, maar hommels en bijen wel. Dieren die graag vliegen eten, maar hommels of bijen vrezen en ontwijken worden zo misleid door de wolzwevers. Vergeleken met hommels is ook de kleur anders, meestal bruin, en de gewone wolzwever heeft geen zwarte, witte of gele kleuren, laat staan patronen. Ook zijn de dunne poten maar juist ook de grote ovale ogen typisch vlieg-achtig. De vleugels staan altijd zijwaarts terwijl veel hommels en bijen deze op de rug vouwen in rust. De lange tong van de gewone wolzwever is ongeveer een derde van de lichaamslengte en dient om dieper in de bloem te komen waar de nectar zit. De larven van de wolzwever groeien op in de nesten van zandbijen. Het vrouwtje bepoedert haar rijpe eitjes eerst met zand zodat ze minder kleverig worden. Ze heeft daartoe een speciaal structuurtje aan het achterlijf. Ze vliegt vervolgens over de nestplaats van een zandbij en blijft even zweven voor de open nestingang om daar met een slingering van haar achterlijf een ei in te werpen

The common woolly glider (Bombylius major) is a fly of the genus Bombylius in the family of woolly gliders (Bombyliidae). The species is common in the Netherlands and Belgium on sandy and sunny slopes along forest edges and in gardens. The species resembles a bumblebee or bee, although the latter are hymenopterous, so not related. This resemblance is not a coincidence, but is based on mimicry; the phenomenon that harmless species resemble less harmless species, as also occurs in the related hoverflies. Woolly gliders do not have a stinger, but bumblebees and bees do. Animals that like to eat flies, but fear and avoid bumblebees or bees, are thus misled by the woolly gliders. Compared to bumblebees, the color is also different, usually brown, and the common woolly bumblebee has no black, white or yellow colors, let alone patterns. The thin legs but also the large oval eyes are typical fly-like. The wings are always sideways while many bumblebees and bees fold them on the back when resting. The long tongue of the common woolly glider is about a third of the body length and serves to get deeper into the flower where the nectar is. The larvae of the woolly glider grow in the nests of sand bees. The female first dusts her mature eggs with sand to make them less sticky. It has a special structure on the abdomen for this purpose. She then flies over the nesting site of a sand bee and hovers for a while in front of the open nest entrance to cast an egg there with a swing of her abdomen.

For Brickset Advent Calendar Competition
ED-209: this was easy enought to design, i'm expecially happy of the bars protuding from the back of the legs, a detail i always liked on the robot. The part limit forced me to make the whole body with a single 2x3 brick and to push the arms up. Initially it was made of plates and the arms were attached a little lower, which was more similar to the original.
Dewey: the body was super easy, but finding a solution for the legs was surprisingly hard. i tryed different ways, this one worked the best both for proportions and similarity. The agled plate for feet was a nice touch to imitate how they work in the original.
Johnny Five: this one took hours to figure out. I solved the head with a 1x1 round plate with hole (gray would be better but i only had white available), the body was harder. I wished to include the "angle" of the original, and found out how to do with the lightsable hilt and double 1x1 with clips. behind the lower part there are two skeleton legs that work as caster balls.
Robby the robot: initially had a completely different design using rubber tyres, but couldn't hold it together. This one is less "round" but still recognizable, i love how the bulbs of the arms capture the original. The main body is a 1x1 brick with studs on all side, placed sideway. The legs are build upside down (with studs on the bottom).
Wall-e: this one was severely limited by part count. I allocated tree per "leg", connected with a plate with wheel connectors for a total of 7, which was the bare minimum. That left 13 for all the rest! I solved the problem using a single part for the head, which looks surprisingly good (considering the limitations). Glad i was able to include the plant!
(ops! i forgot to change the color of one arm!! Don't tell anybody! :P)
TARS: this one basically built itself. I settled almost immediately for 5x4 which capture the original proportion well (4x4 would have been squared). I found the perfect sticker (with a green LCD on the side like in the movie!) almost by chance.
I often look straight down at the features of Earth, but looking sideways is equally impressive from the International Space Station: the blue of Earth seems to glow around its curvature against the blackness of space
Le plus souvent, j’ai tendance à regarder vers le « bas » de la Station spatiale, mon champ de vision focalisé sur la planète. Et j’en oublie presque que la vue de côté n’a rien à lui envier ! La fine couche luisante de l’atmosphère épouse la courbe de la Terre et contraste avec l’obscurité de l’espace... Impressionnant de voir la finesse de la barrière qui nous protège du vide ! Ici, pendant un survol de la mer Rouge et du Nil vers Assouan.

Shrimpfish, aka Razorfish, which keep themselves vertical but swim horizontally.
Kew Gardens, London, 2016.
Since I’ve been to the ground
It’s my home that I can't find
Wobbling around on this land
For my wings from flying are banned
Along the side-walk I walk my claws
Maybe at some turn I’ll find my house!

P.S: Larger View is recommended!

The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, nonmigratory, North American songbird that lives in deciduous and mixed forests.
While I was at Santana Row earlier this evening, I saw this guy with dreadlocked hair. I thought it would be cool to make him be my main subject with the X'mas lights in the background. Luckily, I took this shot before his head turned all the way sideway. Otherwise, he would have caught me in the act.

47853 and 47501 don't help the valiant snow clearing efforts at Longport station as they whip up the powder with 5Z46 Sideway Loop - Crewe H.S. training run. 18th January 2013.
Yesterday my wife alerted me to this beautiful skyburn right after sunset. I picked up my camera and rushed up to our bedroom and tried to compose for my shot quickly. When I looked into the viewfinder while zooming in, I saw this hawk perching on top of a house in our neighborhood. I waited for him to turn his head sideway before pressing the shutter. I took several shots with different zoom distance and then called it a day.

Quite a difficult station to do something moving but here is 56103 seen at Stoke-on-Trent with the 6Z55 2100 Pinnox Branch sidings - Carlisle Kingmoor virtual quarry. The 56 is seen heading towards Sideway loop to run round 7/10/19.
Here 's another angle of what this Cap Rock looks like. As you can see the support from the giant boulder below is not very assuring. Maybe I am missing something from the backside of it. I just cannot tell from any angle. As I know, there have been fatalities of rock slide in Yosemite over the years. Joshua Tree being so close to the major earthquake faults makes me uncomfortable standing right next to that boulder. Who knows how long Cap Rock would stand. At least I 've captured a few photos of it. I am glad that I have photographed Wall Arch at Arches National Park on my first visit many years ago. A few years later, that arch simply collapsed under its own weight.
