Green fir tree overhanging a back garden fence with a view to the stop sign further along the backstreet.
The bus stop for the 770 which travels from Harrogate to Leeds through Thorner Village.
Just in case anyone thinks its a fabulous sunset, its not. The lights in the sky are lights from towns in the distance polluting the night sky. There are no street lights in Thorner village.
The village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") means "thorn bank". The ancient parish of Thorner covered 4400 acres in the wapentake of Skyrack in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The parish included the townships of Scarcroft and Shadwell, which became separate civil parishes in 1866 (wiki)
The sting has gone from the Saharan sun as it slides into a layer of dusty pollution. It was always better to stop and choose a campsite before nightfall. In fact, some overland companies had strict regulations about driving after dark.
The old Bedford RL truck, affectionally nicknamed “Mighty Lemon” by the passengers has pulled off the road well north of Tamanrasset in Algeria during a SIAFU trip from Nairobi to London.
I was the second driver in an accompanying Land Rover. Our route was from East Africa into Zaire, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Chad, Nigeria, Niger, Algeria, Morocco, and Spain. On other trips, we were obliged to pass via southern Sudan if conditions in Zaire were too unpredictable.
And nowadays, war, pestilence, terrorism, and kidnapping have made most of the route impossible. How privileged and fortunate we were to be travelling back then.

I can probably count the number of times I've used a 6 stop filter on one hand and that excludes the thumb. This is partly because I'm too lazy to calculate the amount of time required most often resorting to guesswork but also because I never seem to find the right kind of image in the right kind of light. Today was slightly different however, the trees were still, the mist was rising, the water swirling and there was really only one thing preventing me from having a go...I was on a barge! 9 shots straight in the trash but this one crept through.
Thank you for pausing :)

A shot taken outside the Adelaide Goal. This railway track has no barrier throughout so anyone can just walk onto the track but of coz not when the train is coming :P This track links to the main train station where maintenances or repair of the carriages are carried out.

About
The Railway Crossing over at North Adelaide
The Shot
Standard 3 exposures shots (-2..0..+2EV) handheld using the Canon kit lens EF-S 18-55mm lens and a polarized light filter
Photomatix
- Tonemapped generated HDR with detail enhancer option
Photoshop
- Added a layer effect of 'curves' to slightly increase the contrast
- Added a layer effect of 'saturation' of yellows for the sun reflection & greens for the grass
- Applied dodging for the railway crossing pole & sign
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer
You
All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are (as always) welcome.

This was a very difficult shot for me. I was in Chicago in 2002 with friends and my then new Olympus IS 20 film camera. This fountain is in front of the Navy Pier, and spurts intermittently. I wanted to take this shot, but the timing has to be perfect. My friends were ready to go to Sears Towers, and I did not have all the time on earth, I was low on film, and yes, did not have a "Preview" button on my film camera. I braced myself and took 3 shots and this is one of those. One out of three isn't that bad, right?

The last time I was on this part of Monterey Highway, it was still US101, before they built the bypass...I was with my half-brother enroute to Long Beach to purchase a Detroit Deisel 271 for his first salmon trawler...(it was the slowest boat in the fleet)...got a flat tire right about here too while it was over 100*...
Over the weekend we went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a beautiful Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. The wooden arch bridge is a center piece, inviting you to stop and reflect.
I processed a realistic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Beautiful Poem- Stop and smell the flowers
Current mood: peaceful
This poem was written by a terminally ill young
girl
in a New York
Hospital.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

I am back home, after a trip with some complications.
I got hit by the third snowstorm while travelling within the past 6 weeks, what are the odds?
The first delayed my arrival in the US by one day, the second would have almost got me stuck on the highway when taking a bus to Detroit and now the third that almost got me stuck in Chicago. Luckily, it only delayed me by 6 hours.
Now its time to get adjusted back to german time. At least germany is at least a tad warmer than the U.S. =)
Today shot is one that I took on 5th Ave in NY, and I especially enjoyed the tension that was created by the smoke. Yes, that is real smoke =)

Photographed trough the window of our car, driving in the direction of Mount Robson Provincial Park, Canada. I'am always astonished when I see this, why they are not using traffic lights?
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
This was a fantastic storm that chased me from Madison, Nebraska to Fremont.
The storm just rolled along as you could hear the thunder clap across the plains at each stop I made to shoot a few photos, then blaze on ahead of it.
Good times
After an eventful four days on the river it was time to get back to civilization. VIA's Sudbury-White River service has at its core always been about connecting the remote communities of northern Ontario. The "flag stop" train allowing passengers to hop on or off just about anywhere in between - and so of course that's what we did - throw a red life jacket on the front of the canoe and wave while #186 eased into Pogamasing beneath the towering rock cuts (view from the top pictured here flic.kr/p/2qxHr8L).
Veteran Budd RDC-4 #6250 leads the way, built way back in 1955 for the Canadian Pacific and is acting as the baggage car for the trip. The RDCs are perfect for this type of service being able to stop quickly and accelerate rapidly, while doing passenger speeds in between. It will be interesting to see how much longer these are in service, but it was a pleasure to be able to both ride and capture them in their element over the course of the trip.
One final aside, the back track here is 100 lb rail from Algoma Steel dating back to 1932. There are a number of these backtracks on the Nemegos and White River Subs that used to house specialized school cars dating back to 1926. Commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Education, the CPR brought the schools on rails to children living in remote areas with students attending classes for five days straight before being given three weeks of homework until the train's rotation returned. Apparently the school cars registered near perfect attendance with students who went on to traditional schools and universities excelling. These were retired in 1967 with over 4,000 students having received their education on the rails by then.

Please, please, stop the killing of innocent people, poor little children .... It's a tragedy ....
Russia should be ashamed of their government .... we certainly are!
How can a situation like this happen in the Twenty first century, it's like the middle ages.
Makes me cry when I think of this horror happening in Europe.
Let's hope peace returns once again very soon.
Love & Peace! Everyone

This will be the last picture from my trip to London for the moment. Have a great weekend everybody.
