tapered wheel and flange, carrying a reflection of blue sky and cloud, on what became a dour day.......
The 1873 tower is tapered in a style characteristic of Anglesey windmills. It is 33 feet (10 m) high and 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter. It may have been constructed by an Anglesey stone mason, and it is possible that the tower itself was originally used as a windmill.
The lantern and fittings cost £250 7s 6d, including the adaptation of an "earlier tower". The north-east door is flanked by small windows, and the two floors above also have small windows, but the top does not. The conical roof is slated and has a flagpole. The present lantern window is about 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) by 2 feet (0.61 m). The optic, silver-plated reflector and Fresnel lens are dated 1861 and were used into the 1970s. The lantern was originally lit by six Argand lamps with reflectors.
A smaller, conical tower, with a domed top, can be found to the south-east, and may be an earlier structure. The walls are 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) in radius and 3 feet (0.91 m) thick, with a door to the north-west, and show signs of cracking to the rubble-filled walls on the west.
Neither tower is shown on the chart of Lewis Morris, dated 1800, but they both appear on the Ordnance Survey 1818-1823 2 inches/mile map. They both probably originated as unlit markers. The cottages nearby have been used as craft workshops, and the local community here once serviced pilot-boats and lifeboats.

Eristalis pertinax is a European hoverfly. Like Eristalis tenax, the larva of E. pertinax is a rat-tailed maggot and lives in drainage ditches, pools around manure piles, sewage, and similar places containing water with high organic load and low oxygen concentration.
Another long shot , boy these little Hummers dont stay put for long.
A fairly small hummingbird with a slender, nearly straight bill, a tail that tapers to a point when folded, and fairly short wings that don’t reach the end of the tail when the bird is perched.
In good light, male Rufous Hummingbirds glow like coals: bright orange on the back and belly, with a vivid iridescent-red throat. Females are green above with rufous-washed flanks, rufous patches in the green tail, and often a spot of orange in the throat.
tapering down on the old shots since i've got the new computer set up. scary that i have to revert to getting creative again with winter's slim pickens and my crappy social life, haha. thanks for your pitstops.
A small tapered spring that came out of the inside of a bread machine. I spotted it and thought it might work to assist the film pressure plate on a lovely old Agifold 120 roll film camera. It will be a while before I get around to doing with that, so in the meantime it made a useful prop for this. The spring is just over an inch long and there is around 2/3rds of it visible here. Lit from underneath with a green LED and a red LED from the left. Didn't want to do a focus stack with this, I decided it was quite a nice effect shooting it wide to the coils widen to the back. HMM

The snowfall tapered off as the daylight faded. There were still a few cars in the lot. I had a nice conversation with a lady who was skiing. I was surprised there was enough snow and she said that there barely was enough in some spots. After last year with a huge dump of snow in November and very inconsistent snowfall after that, she was not taking any chances. So she grabbed her gear and headed out, happy for whatever little patches of glide she could find. Made me wish I had brought skis. Thanks for viewing!
CN Dash 8-40CM 2422 is seen leading train #310 Vancouver Coquitlam-Edmonton Clover Bar east at Henry House in the Athabasca Valley - 03/06/2016

At a weekly meeting of fellow macro water drop addicts, a debate was raging about the best way to kick the habit. Some thought you had to go cold turkey to get your life back. Others said it was less painful if you just taper off. Taper off an addiction? Sure, by using a smaller and smaller magnification with your macro lens and gradually moving your focus farther and farther out so eventually your photos are back to normal sized. That means this less close up image doesn’t count as an obsessive post, as it’s just an experiment in tapering off. (But still kind of fun seeing two coneflowers being refracted in the same drop)
CN L521 (dare I call it, The Line Train) arrives what was once called East Joliet Yard as the snowstorm tapers off.

Firwood.
John Clare
The fir trees taper into twigs and wear
The rich blue green of summer all the year,
Softening the roughest tempest almost calm
And offering shelter ever still and warm
To the small path that towels underneath,
Where loudest winds--almost as summer's breath--
Scarce fan the weed that lingers green below
When others out of doors are lost in frost and snow.
And sweet the music trembles on the ear
As the wind suthers through each tiny spear,
Makeshifts for leaves; and yet, so rich they show,
Winter is almost summer where they grow.
Bloodroot. Luminescent white flowers emerging from collages of dead leaves.
Tapered petals of roughly eight, translucent-veined.
In less-petaled specimens, divergent petals much like a pinwheel; in lusher examples, layers like lotuses.
Daisy-like, but not quite; too white, of too-pointy petals, with too wily a variance in expression, opening sundial-like, then reverting to bud at night. And instead of friendly arm-like leaves waving in the breeze, a cloak of earthly green, which it rises from, then sheds to its feet.
Remember this: Bloodroot, surreally white, ghosts out in broad daylight, haunting the roadside.
Take it as a warning, if you wish; it is arguably most terrifying to encounter a ghost during the daytime. Ghosts are supposed to emerge at night, not in broad daylight; we almost never see a ghost in full visage. Hence the shock of spotting a bloodroot.
You are brave, though. You shake off this shock. You pluck one free of its earthly cloak and ask; “Why do you haunt here at this hour?”
You watch as its stem bleeds on your fingers, all too eager to tell. You consider that perhaps it haunts during the day because it has so much to say; a flower that picks you more than you it.
The blood from its roots looks much like your own. Speaks to you of your blood, your roots. You suddenly sense that you are much like this flower, a sort of ghost haunting the roadside; you are being of previous incarnations, a culmination of generations upon generations, the fruit of a grapevine of genetic code whispering diaphanous incantations, barely audible, a haunting tone vibrating your bones….even more, you are a being of blood that will one day cease to flow, lead you to become a true ghost.
On your walk home, you watch the iridescent underpinning of life emerge.
Bloodroot, bloodroot. A flower that picks you.
...
(Quite evidently, I have a rather surreal relationship with bloodroot flowers.
I first encountered them in the spring of 2011 on a walk down the street. I took some photos of them; luminescent white blossoms, haloed by the distortion of my vintage lens and adapter.
The spring of 2011 was a particularly spiritual time for me – I was, for reasons I decline to describe, close to the other side – though I didn’t think much of the flowers at the time. And I more or less forgot about them until 2023-2024, when I read two botanical texts that mentioned them and belabored the luminescent white of their blossoms, imparting to them an almost transcendent quality.
Upon encountering these texts, I began contemplating my encounter with them back in 2011 and was taken by the resonance of a transcendence-coded flower appearing to me at a time in my life of transcendental textures. It came to me that these flowers could be compared to the ghosts I so often contemplated at that time – and so, in my personal index of botanical significations, bloodroot flowers are now Ghosts.)
A late season snowstorm hit the Waterloo/CF metro area for a short time. Here the CN WB L571 train slips thru the old IC truss bridge in Cedar Falls at the height of the snowfall. Shortly after this, the snow tapered off and quit.
A Dash 8 widecab is leading the way on 407, as the manifest begins the assault on Springhill, with all three units online. 2454 had been holed up in Rockingham all week, being used in the yard and on transfers to and from downtown. I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot one of the transfers, and even worked on the old GE a mere 12 hours before I shot this. After doing a few moves in Rockingham yard the previous evening, our last order of business was to deliver the two six axles shown here to Dartmouth, to be used for 407. An hour and a half nap after work that morning, and I groggily got on the road, grabbed my friend Kyle, and we successfully managed a total of 8 sets of the endangered wideboi.
Chiwa is a city of approximately 50,000 people located in Xorazm Region, Uzbekistan. According to archaeological data, the city was established in the beginning of the Christian era. It is the former capital of Khwarezmia and the Khanate of Chiwa. Itchan Kala in Khiva was the first site in Uzbekistan to be inscribed in the World Heritage List (1991).
The Islom-Hoja Minaret at Khiva is the tallest, 57m tall minaret, in Uzbekistan. Most of Chiwa's monuments are hundreds of years younger than those in Bukhara and Samarkand.
Islam-Hoja Minaret was built in 1908 by Islam-Hoja of the Prime Minister of Khan. The minaret is a symbol of the country, is an early example of the architecture of the XIV century. The construction was completed in 1910. The tapered shape makes up more slender minaret and strength. The famous Kalyan Minaret is inferior to the height of Islam-Khoja Minaret. Its height is 56 meters and a base diameter is 9.5 meters. Trunk of the minaret is made of bricks, decorated with white and blue tiles made of glazed ceramic.
Islam-Khoja Minaret is the tallest structure in Khiva, visible from anywhere in the city. After rising to the top of the minaret, you will see the most beautiful panorama of the eastern fairy tale city Khiva.
