What does a young seal have to do to have a rest ??? It seems that the little seal has the best place but then the older seals always head back to the water to play. It seems they are just teasing the little guy, or trying to get him to have a swim instead of sunbake.

Installation art
This temporary installation art, called "the third space", was built by 52 interior design students. It consists of almost 1.300.000 cable ties. The students worked on it for about 16.870 hours. Visitors can sit down in cocoon-like bird's nests, stand under a shower of light, and experience this 200 square meters small world, that tries to translate sociological terms like self-portrayal, community and retreat into tangible spatial situations.

Long wheelbase Optare Solo BU56OOD was new to Rhodri Evans of Ffoshelig near Carmarthen and was seen in the town bus station in Feb 2009. I don't believe they're still operating bus services though were still a coaching business.
It passed to APL Travel in Wiltshire who subsequently went bust but it now works for nearby Coachstyle just outside Chippenham.
Three craters resulting from Soviet-era gas exploration. The third, and most famous, has apparently been on fire since the day, decades ago, when someone had the idea to burn off the gas to aid exploration...
Big fun with big splashes from the incoming tide on the rocks at St Brides.
Hand-held & filter free & wary of the waves.

ust to make it complete. A third version of the stacked square-octagon twists. Now again they are connected via the double pleated branches. In contrast to my first version here the twist directions alternate.

This is also a try with the very nice paper by John Gerard, that I got at the German convention.
It is 100% dark flax. You can see every crease as a white line on the paper. It looks that it would break, but that is not the case. It is also nice for backlit pictures.
The Moon first thing this morning against clear blue skies!
Taken with a Tamron SP 500mm mirror with 2x teleconverter so not the sharpest.
How well does this work since there's technically no action, just the third baseman focused and ready? I feel like it does a decent job telling a story with the batter out of focus in the foreground. Thoughts?

Jesus falls the third time.
The Barbican & St Giles Terrace
G. Roland Biermann, Stations, 2016
Sleek minimalism meets gritty reality. Two crash barriers slice through the air, narrowly missing each another before piercing the wall behind. Jesus’ fall finds a contemporary echo in the everyday tragedy of a car crash. Oil barrels suggest automobiles, but we might also think of olive oil, used in the Bible to anoint priests and cure the sick. Painted fourteen shades of red—suggesting blood that runs, congeals, and quickens anew—the barrels symbolize the Stations of the Cross. Some viewers might find consolation in the symbolism of Holy Blood and Holy Oil. Others will be reminded of blood spilt in the pursuit of fossil fuels. The tensions and binaries in Biermann’s installation—sacred and profane, ancient and modern—suit this site. During the Blitz, the area was devastated—including much of medieval St Giles Cripplegate. Today it houses the Barbican, a symbol of postwar hope and utopian ambition.

While not as glamourous as the first-class staterooms which few of us would want to shell out the cash for, this does look cozy and comfortable. Keep in mind that individual restrooms and baths were unheard of in even the most luxurious liners (which White Star Liners were) of the era; indeed, such are a very recent invention when it comes to oceanfaring journeys!
This eastbound stack, about to cross 3rd St in Riverside, has a third-unit EMD, very rare for BNSF, which almost always is all-GE.
I might just as well post pictures of clouds for the rest of my life. They can't take those away.
I had to run into Wal-Mart yesterday to pick something up for my Dad. I decided to make a spin through the film department because I need some more of that black and white film Kodak has that processes in the color C-41 chemicals - very handy stuff. I got back to where the film was, or rather, where it used to be and didn't see any Kodak film. I figured they had just moved it somewhere else like they always do every week. So, I asked a passing worker where it was, but it wasn't her department and there weren't any stationary workers to assist me - the store looked like a ghost town, so she radioed somewhere to have one come and assist me. After waiting 10 minutes for somebody to finally show up, I said, "Is business so bad that you had to lay off everybody?" This was in response to there not being any clerks to assist me like in the olden days.
Well, the girl didn't know where the Kodak film was, (she only draws a paycheck, doesn't know anything about the store where she works), so she had to call the manager. The manager informed her that the "home office" had decided that this particular store didn't need Kodak film anymore. This is getting ridiculous! I went to talk to the manager in person to find out what was going on and why I couldn't buy Kodak film any more. Like I have purchased for the last 34 years. (Kodak is an old American brand of film at least 100 years in existence. Sure, they still had the Japanese brand of film on the shelves, but no American film.)
The manager kindly informed me that, since this Wal-Mart was a tiny store, the smallest they have, they didn't carry everything like the bigger stores in Evansville or St. Louis do. (One an hour away from me and the other 2 hours away.)
What am I? A third class citizen? I use the same kind of things that people in big cities use! Everybody uses the same stuff, no matter where they live. That's just the way it is. But - people like me don't deserve to be able to buy everything like those "special" and "important" people in the big cities. I'm just a third class citizen and don't deserve the same choices as everybody else.
I, Kenny, am telling you, who is reading this right now, that you'd better wake up and get prepared for calamity. People aren't going to take being treated like third class citizens forever. And do you want to not be prepared for when some nutcase goes into a Wal-Mart and guns down 40 people because they don't carry his Nacho Pringles anymore and sets off nationwide outrage?
Not me, brother. I'm going to try and be ready to save myself and my family. You can do what you like. Those that aren't prepared will be the first to die. And that means that I'll have a better chance of surviving. Do you want to be a survivor or a casualty? It's your choice - one of the few they still allow you to have. (At least for the moment, anyway.)
"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #6" "If Only" "Focus Friday" I've never used a tripod with my camera. If only I could still walk
today without mobility aids!
This is actually one of a pair of Leki trekking poles I bought in Glacier National Park years ago to use hiking. I have used just
one also as a cane! 9-)

Third floor contains the Friends apartments, squeezed a bit. A strange combination with one shared bathroom, big living rooms with kitchens, but they have to sleep on the sofas...
