Question of the day: Why does an accumulation of trash and discarded building materials look almost majestic when held below the surface of stagnant water, with a developing skim layer of ice?

Static Harrier T4, but remembering those forced into retirement 15th December 2010 when the UK Harrier force was retired
Asker, Norway. For the first time in years, a proper pre-christmas winter. Although the golf course is our neighbour, we mostly use it when its covered in snow. When its great for children and playfullness.

2014 BMW R1200RT
Static displays at the British Grand Prix are usually abysmal and this year, once again, was no exception to the rule. However, the local constabulary make a good attempt to make up for it.
For a couple of years Northamptonshire Police and the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) had a brilliant display of vehicles on show for the spectators.
Unfortunately, last year they were notable by their absence. Thankfully in 2019 they were back and as good as ever!
Not to be outdone, the ambulance service also decided to get in on the act this year.
Amongst a fleet of vehicles parked up alongside the old start/finish straight was this BMW response motorcycle from West Midlands Ambulance Service.
Although Silverstone is covered by East Midlands Ambulance Service the neighbouring West Midlands service is running a motorcycle safety campaign and had a small display to catch the eye of the crowds, including the rather gruesome character standing behind the bike!

L'Opéra de Sydney. Un angle vu et revu mais difficile de tout prévoir et tout trouver quand vous n'avez qu'une fin d'après-midi à vraiment y accorder et qu'il fait nuit noire à 18h ! J'ai tout de même tenté de sortir un peu de la photo « cliché » en choisissant une pose longue (≈ 100s) afin que le mouvement de l'eau se lisse et amplifie nettement la prise de lumière générale de la surface. Avec les nombreuses tentatives faites, je comprends maintenant pourquoi on en trouve pas des masses dans le genre ! Il y a en effet un trafic maritime phénoménal dans la baie et faire une photo en pose longue, sans voir le cliché totalement rayé par des traits de lumières provenant des éclairages de bateaux qui traversent d'un bout à l'autre de la photo relève du challenge ! La patience est de mise, je vous le garanti, et le soleil couchant lui n'attend pas. En 10 minutes maximum, tout est plié et il fait nuit… la preuve !
Au niveau du traitement, j'ai essentiellement augmenté l'exposition et modifié la balance des blancs pour m'écarter de teintes trop jaunes.

Here's the Sydney Opera House. Ok, it's a very common angle shot, but you know what? it's not easy to find a terrific spot and organize everything when you only have one end of afternoon and no more light at 6pm! Meanwhile, I've tried to make my picture more interesting than common ones by choosing a long exposure time (≈ 100s) and then give more motion, reflexion and light to the water. I was far to think so much attempt would be necessary! In fact, there is a tremendous boat traffic in the bay and it's really difficult not to get your shot ruined by the multiples lights of crossing boats… from one edge to another of your frame! Patience is one rule, I swear, and the Sun don't wait for you… In 10 minutes maximum, everything is done and it's night… proof above!
About adjustments, I've mainly add exposure and changed the white balance to avoid to much yellow tones.

A cold early start high above Grassington. Although often described by local people as a village, Grassington was granted a Royal Charter for a market and fair in 1282 giving it market town status. The market was held regularly until about 1860. A change in land use from the early 17th century, when lead mining began to assume more importance, brought some prosperity, but Grassington's heyday arrived during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The opening of the Yorkshire Dales Railway to Threshfield in 1901 brought new visitors, many of whom settled, some finding work in Skipton or in the developing limestone quarries !
As a child in the 1960s these, and similar, fading signs were still relatively commonplace but now, over 80 years after they were painted on walls and buildings across the country they're relatively rare. "Static Water", and with an arrow pointing right, was a direction for a fire fighting water source during the Second World War. Static tanks, marked "EWS" for Emergency Water Supplies, were constructed but often other water features such as, here in Lancashire, cotton mill lodges or reservoirs were utilised. This stands on a surviving building amidst the desolation of Mumps in Oldham and points up towards Garden St and Bell St where there once stood Paradise Mills and its associated reservoirs and so this sign may relate to something similar.
This fine building, almost a lone survivor now amidst the desolation of Mumps, was once home to the Mumps Bazaar, an early 'department' store.
Time of exposure: 39 seconds.
Quite a bit oversharpening here by Flickr, so please click here to view this large and on black without oversharpening.
