Tokyo’s Tower of Terror has you visiting the fictional Hotel Hightower. The hotel used to be occupied by Harrison Hightower a rich collector who traveled the globe obtaining and sometimes stealing precious artifacts. One day on a trip to Africa he found a mysterious idol who eventually came to life causing Mr. Hightower’s elevator to come crashing to the ground.
Somewhere in the arctic, a Cobra Terror Drome emerges from the snow. All battle stations are activated, and a Firebat is launched!
I recently got a second Terror Drome and kept tripping over it. Dan suggested I show one like in Marvel Comic 68, when the Battleforce 2000 found it. Thanks to all the snow we've been getting, it was a fun idea!
In der Niederkirchner Straße, wo Reste der Berliner Mauer stehen, befindet sich auf dem Gelände der einstigen Nazi-Zentralen von SS und Gestapo das Dokumentationszentrum Topographie des Terrors. Karteikarten visualisieren, wie deutsche Staatsanwaltschaften spät nach dem Krieg versucht haben, systematisch gegen SS-Angehörige zu ermitteln.
The Topography of Terror Documentation Center is located on Niederkirchner Strasse, where the remains of the Berlin Wall stand, on the site of the former Nazi headquarters of the SS and Gestapo. Index cards visualize how German public prosecutors attempted to systematically investigate members of the SS late after the war.
Con el paso de los años uno va aprendiendo el lenguaje sonoro y corporal de las aves con las que tanto tiempo pasa.
A las miradas con la cabezas levantadas, le suceden los cantos de alarma , las huidas de algunas de las aves más miedosas y por último el silencio.
Un silencio sepulcral que habla de muerte y de una vida que se apaga para que otras sigan viviendo.
Es muy raro para mí hacer rapaces; a parte de lo ético del uso de cebos no se me da bien eso de las esperas interminables a estas esquivas aves. Me va más la marcha del "menudeo".
De vez en cuando la flauta suena y el terror aterriza delante de ti, se para lo suficiente como para matar a la desafortunada presa, quitarle algo de pluma y llevarla al nido.
Mirada penetrante la del lagunero macho sin duda, sólo después de tenerlo tan cerca se explica uno porqué la marisma calla y enmudece.
Un saludo a tod@s compañeros !!!
Assorted smaller steam locomotives have been cosmetically restored at the Age of Steam roundhouse in Sugarcreek, Ohio.
Canadian Pacific 1293 is a G5d 4-6-2 Pacific that "starred" in the insanely awful 1980 horror movie "Terror Train". The locomotive was by far the best actor in the entire movie.
there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock...people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love...the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
untouched
unspoken to...

As Hungary was infamous for brutality during both the Nazi and Soviet regimes, it’s no surprise that Budapest is home to a museum dedicated to the memory of those tortured and killed in one particular building. The Terror Háza Museum is a reminder of the mass brutality of 20th century wars and revolutions, and a monument to the people who played roles both inside and outside the building’s cavernous underground prison cells. It documents the period beginning in 1944 when the Nazis gained power in Hungary, to the early 1990s, when the Iron Curtain fell and Hungarians finally gained freedom from Communism.
The Topography of Terror (German: Topographie des Terrors) is an outdoor and indoor history museum in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Niederkirchnerstrasse, formerly Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse, on the site of buildings which during the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945 was the SS Reich Main Security Office, the headquarters of the Sicherheitspolizei, SD, Einsatzgruppen and Gestapo.

Shot with the old Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f2.8 G. Gear chasers will say that this lens is not sharp enough, Z-ealot shills will tell us we need to move to Nikon mirrorless Z system for the new Z 24-70mm f2.8 S which will make this photo look so much sharper.
What is the reality? The AF-S 24-70mm f2.8 G can indeed do better at resolving finer details but it is still definitely sharp enough for general use, like almost all modern lenses. Gear review sites will never tell us this, all we'll get is the usual spiel that the newer lens just launched is much sharper and better corrected based on MTF and test charts. Or the older lenses do not perform well on the latest high resolution cameras. None will ever tell us that great values abound in the current used market obviously.
Marketing is all about convincing you that the new gear is better and your existing gear is no longer good enough in order to drive you towards making a new purchase after all that reinforcement from the incessant frothing of gear forum fanboi shills.
Instead of getting all caught up with marketing, we can gain so much more by learning to shoot better and more importantly, post-process more competently!
Nikon forum mirrorless Z-ealot shills meanwhile are clutching at straws recently trying to put on a positive spin for their brand’s financial performance.
Nothing like group hallucinations, a gathering of Hare Krishna devotees to drink kool-aid together, somethings never change.
Some tried to distort reality by quoting certain % statistic in isolation. Z-ealot shills got all delirious over R&D % with Nikon spending 14.5% of Revenue currently, Canon and Sony are both at 7.3%. Nikon in normal times like in 2012 spent 7.5% of Revenue on R&D.
All dandy until you delve into the real numbers, 2020 Revenues for Sony ($76b), Canon ($29.7b) and Nikon ($5.4b) vs 2012 Nikon ($11.1b). So quantum of 2020 R&D spend is actually like so; Nikon spent $788m (vs 2012 $838m) vs Canon $2.2b and Sony $5.5b.
Nikon risks burning out just for trying to keep pace with Canon and Sony and given how much market share Nikon has lost in the recent years, they can't bring down their R&D expenses resulting in a generally higher cost structure to spread out over declining units. It's no wonder they are unable to deliver value when they are so constrained with pricing. Make no mistake, Nikon has major problems although real hobbyists will hope they succeed rather than fail since more competition is always good for the consumer.
Nikon can’t stay competitive by rehashing the same old playbook, they need more unique products that the other brands lack such as lightweight fresnel supertele prime in Z mount for instance. Hopefully Nikon can surprise us positively with their next camera releases.
I’m looking out for their Z 24-105mm f2.8-f4.0 S (hopefully it has VR) which is really the lens to get over the rather limiting Z 24-70mm f4 S and ho-hum Z 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR. In fact I’ll take the 24-105mm (or 24-120mm) over the Z 24-70mm f2.8 S any day. That is the way with lens releases especially for a new system, the more desirable lenses tend to be released later and many hobbyists not knowing any better will typically end up buying and selling a few rounds before finally settling on what they really need/want.
Looking at what Canon did, value added macro capability with their affordable f1.8 Primes, unique f2.0 28-70mm zoom, lightweight 70-200mm f2.8, f11 supertele Primes, EOS-R5, this is what pushing the envelope is about. Why keep making the same f1.8 Primes and f2.8 zooms and UWA zooms that start at 14mm when the market has moved on to 12mm? Nikon must do much better than rehashing more of the same, a little better performance than the past but charging ever higher prices without really innovating or offering anything extra will hasten the downward spiral.
Latest on DpReview regarding Nikon’s financials; m.dpreview.com/news/3001593019/nikon-q3-financial-report-....
A fair report to be honest but as expected, Nikon Z-ealot shills cried foul and accused DpReview of negativity and being anti-Nikon, so much insecurity to the point of being delusional! Some of the comments are downright comical showing an utter lack of understanding in financial reporting and even utter cluelessness over the concept of market share!
Nikon forum shills have no clue what long term trends mean either, it’s been a downhill slide for the past few years. Desperation have driven them to focus on any short term spike to assuage their bruised ego. Always a curious thing to observe, people tying their self-worth over a photographic brand, tragic comedy! I use Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Ricoh cameras, yet I hardly ever come across such toxic, bitter and delusional shills like those in Nikon forums!

terrible tragedy ... unsolved Murder here in February 1971
Puedo ser la bestia que me atormenta en mis pesadillas. Me persigo y escapo al mismo tiempo salvando mi vida...
Una noche no podre escapar.
Esa noche te tendre entre mis manos y sabras que es el terror.
Rezare por mi alma...
Ya no tienes por quien rezar.

Liquid fuel rocket Aggregat 4. Original replica at the Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde, Usedom Island
"The liquid fuel rocket developed and tested in Peenemünde with the participation of many technicians, engineers and scientists was produced in large numbers from 1943 in underground production facilities at the Mittelwerk in the Harz mountains near Nordhausen.
As "Vergeltungswaffe ["retribution weapon"] 2" ("V-2"), the missiles were first fired at British cities and then at other European locations. The hoped-for moral and military success remained below the expectations of the German military despite the extensive losses to the civilian population concerned.
Several thousand civilians, concentration camp prisoners and prisoners of war were killed in series production and during deployment.
After the end of the Second World War, the victorious powers made use of the technology and that of the experts and developed launchers for military and civilian use from the Aggregat 4." (translated from a display at the Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde)
Due to its target inaccuracy, the V-2 could essentially only be used as a weapon of terror against the civilian population.
As a matter of fact the V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into space by crossing the Kármán line (defined as the altitude of 100 kilometres) on 20 June 1944.
Being able to understand the charm of the clear graphic design of the rocket I was yet amazed at how much the Belgian artist Hergé was obviously inspired by the deadly weapon when he designed the moon rocket for his comic hero Tintin (see www.tintin.com/fr/albums/objectif-lune# and picture below).
I quote Wikipedia:
"Scientific aspects of the albums Objectif Lune and On a Marché sur la Lune
These two parts of the lunar adventure were published in 1954, fifteen years before the Apollo 11 mission, and even before the first satellite (Sputnik). Hergé's technical sources are mainly the programs and researches of Wernher von Braun and Hermann Oberth, who planned, from before the war, to cause an impact on the Moon with a rocket [...]. This same Oberth happens to be the technical advisor for a film by Fritz Lang The Woman on the Moon (Frau im Mond, 1929)." (translated from French Wikipedia entry)
"Hergé based his Moon rocket on the designs of the V-2 rocket which had been developed by German scientists during World War II. The red-and-white checker pattern on Hergé's rocket was based upon an illustration of a V-2 which Hergé had come upon in Leslie Simon's 1947 book German Research in World War II." (Wikipedia)

Sunset Boulevard is home to many of the premier attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios including Rock n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror.
I was able to capture this image after the park closed and while Fantasmic was going on. On this night I was able to capture several images I have wanted for a long time. It total I stayed about 2 hours after scheduled park closing time. I would have stayed longer but the lights started to turn off around the Chinese Theater.
