This is the second in a series depicting construction progress on the last building site at the Southeast end of False Creek - TESORO by Concert Properties.
The photos will appear in album “ 2021 - Vancouver - Concert Properties - TESORO”.
This photo was taken on the evening of December 19, 1998 on the day that President Clinton was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives. For me, it has become a visual memory of one of those “where-were-you-when” moments in life.
I was on a business trip in Boulder, Colorado. It was a cold and blustery Saturday and I stayed in my hotel room all day and watched the proceedings on TV. That evening, directly after the vote, I went out for a short walk about town (camera in hand) and had a quiet dinner alone as I pondered the events of the day. This picture, of a statue on the Pearl Street Mall near the Boulder Court House, was the first photo that I shot that evening. Don’t read too much into it. It’s just a photo of a place, a time, and a memory.
Sorry about the poor quality but it look me buy surprise, one of centrebus leeds new Omnilinks on the 09:30 781 to otley
Love this pic of my bears (Mollie & Rupert). This was a shot i took last evening, from our walk up the lane! Its a pic that makes me smile every time i look at it ........ capturing these moments is what photography is all about!
This picture is exactly as it was taken on the camera. I didn't add fake light highlights or even do auto levels.
This is a shot taken Jan. 3, 2025. These hawks will often hunt by hovering in place, flapping their wings if there is not enough wind. Red-tailed hawks will also do this.
In a stiff breeze they are able to just face into the wind and stay in place, known as kiting. I saw one of these hawks doing this today Jan 17, in a very stiff breeze, 20-30 mph. Some very cold weather is due to move in overnight.
(This is Not a Train).
A little ship moc i have had waiting for a photo opportunity for a while..... The seed part was the Train front, so i started from the back and Went forward......
It was fun to use those fronts, and incorporate them into a little ship. The overall shape pleased me, and made for a satisfactory build.
I did not have a plan for the ships use when i created it, but the colors made me think of protein, therefor it of course carries that!! ;-))
Plz feel free to comment, and enjoy!
This shot is of a soapbubble. We could have the impression it's a planet or exo-planet. Science can observe those planets at a very far distance, several lighyears away. They could contain life or could have contained life. The distance with their sun should be perfect, so that water is available in its 3 fases: liquid, gas and ice. The image title is also the name of a real exo-planet.

Gruppo del Cristallo:
Il Monte Cristallo è un massiccio montuoso delle Dolomiti Ampezzane nelle Dolomiti bellunesi, a nord-est di Cortina d'Ampezzo, la cui vetta più alta si erge per 3221 m s.l.m. Il Gruppo del Cristallo include pure nei suoi confini storici, naturali ed amministrativi il comune di Auronzo di Cadore. Fu conquistato per la prima volta dall'alpinista viennese Paul Grohmann, accompagnato dalle guide alpine ampezzane Santo Siorpaes e Angelo Dimai.
È uno dei monti più alti, più maestosi e più famosi di tutte le Dolomiti ampezzane e del Cadore. Esso chiude la Valle d'Ampezzo a nord (assieme all'antistante monte Pomagagnon), dividendola dalle valli circostanti.
This picture was taken in Mainz.

This is a full view of the Hoover Dam with the hydro-electric station at the bottom and a small part of the Lake Mead reservoir behind. The dam is a short drive from Las Vegas, Nevada and is the main source of power for that city. You can clearly see the white ring around Lake Mead which indicates the normal water level. At the time this was shot, the water level was 30 or 40 ft. below normal due to years of persistent drought in the Rocky Mountains that feed the Colorado River.
From Wikipedia—
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam for President Herbert Hoover by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947.
The height of the dam is 726.4 ft (221.4 m) and the length is 1,244 ft (379 m). A total of 3,250,000 cubic yards (2,480,000 cubic metres) of concrete was used in the dam before concrete pouring ceased on May 29, 1935. Core samples taken in 1995 showed that the concrete has continued to cure and harden.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction of the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. I took this shot from the bypass bridge.

This is part of my pandemic project. The project was created to minimize the number of people that I would come into contact with and to help keep my sanity. The location is a local university. From what I can tell the vast majority of classes are being held online leaving the campus empty with the exception of a few nursing students and an occasional group of Frisbee golf players.
The project started when my wife and I used the campus to walk the dog in the evening. I began to notice the architecture and interesting light fixtures. I started to return and photograph and soon had a project.
The project is to examine the lights and architecture of the empty Campus at night.

Another iphone snap the iPhone X this time and if I had waited and faffed about with a camera this one second long dirty look Sam gave Beau would not have been one of my favourite happy memories of her.. Sam was named by Jonathan's late wife and I thought "what sort of a name is that " she was already nicknamed Sam and we were forever saying she is a she not a he lol... Our darling Sam acted oddly one day and took off running from our car as we were putting the dogs in.. We had to leg it to catch up with her and put her in the large comfortable boot of our car. As we did so I was shocked and told Jonathan " Sams gone blind " I could tell her pupils had simply filled the coloured part of her eye. We got he to the vet immediately where she was diagnosed as completely deaf as well as completely blind with a brain tumour and told nothing could be done for her...we were in shock and she was put to sleep that same morning..her memory lives on through our memories and by having many photos' of her as I have of all my pets I thought this summed up her wonderful nature as after being interrupted from her sleep by Beau she just lay back down..she was so good natured ...Sue ..:)
I am way behind on Flickr, stuff been happening.....nothing to do with illness or anything like that but enough to make me
'feel' ill that's all....I hope to gradually catch up...
Things like this are much better appreciated in person.
After spending so much time with my eye to a viewfinder, I'm starting to rediscover that simple, basic truth.
Yesterday, for example, we had one of those moments where the sky is almost black, and then the sun breaks through, and it's late afternoon and the sun's rays are long and red, and it lights up the trees and the garden and a slice of sky... and I was tempted to grab my camera and go out and try to capture it... and then I realized I had no idea what I wanted to shoot to take advantage of the light, and I knew that, by the time I got my shit together the light would probably be gone anyway...
And so... instead of running around, chasing disappointment... I just stood gaping out the window at the lovely light.
The light in this photo is, of course, different light. And looked so much better in reality. Because the beauty of the sky is its vastness, its limitlessness, its endless variation. As soon as you cage it up in a frame, you lose that.
This concludes installment #472 in the series "Reasons I am not taking any pictures right now." Thank you for your time.
This is a Sagebrush Sparrow, mostly found east of California, but it does look very much like a Bell's Sparrow. Another birder found it in advance of the annual Carrizo Plain Christmas bird count, and it stuck around for count day, for which I'm grateful
This is a train of closely-spaced Starlink satellites moving to the east over the moonlit landscape of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta.
This was on May 15, 2021 at 11:38 p.m. MDT. This group of satellites had been launched from Cape Canaveral earlier that day, at 4:56 p.m. MDT, so less than 7 hours earlier. They were very bright, as shown here, and they appeared as a line or streak in the sky, much as seen here, though the 15-second exposure has turned the array into an even longer streak. It was a remarkable sight, to see a satellite (or satellites in this case) appear not as a star but as a line. To the eye, you could not see them resolved into dots. They are here moving through Lyra below the star Vega.
This launch included 52 Starlinks and two other "piggybacked" satellites: the Capella radar satellite, and the NOAA Tyvak-0130 remote sensing satellite. This was the 28th Starlink launch, but is called Starlink 27.
This is a single 15-second exposure at ISO 3200 with the Canon R6 and 24mm Sigma Art lens adapted to the R6 and at f/2. Light from the setting waxing crescent Moon provided the illumination. High haze added the star glows.
This big guy is a wild orangutan seen at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Borneo. He was visiting for an easy meal.
This plant in the foreground is doing a great job of keeping at least six feet of distance from his peers. Great job, tumbleweed!
This Pacific golden plover (Pluvialis fulva) recently completed an amazing migration of 3 to 5 days and nights, non-stop from Alaska to Hawaii. After a 3,000 mile journey over the featureless North Pacific, it not only finds the island but navigates to the exact territory it defended the previous winter. Typically an insectivore that prefers open grassy areas, this one discovered wading in shallow, brackish mudflats on the coast of Maui provided an opportunity to enjoy a meal of fish.
welcome to the 3rd part of this portrait series, 'Contour'. i had a great time working with the multi-talented Maiensy Sanchez, a Cuban dance teacher & performer in Seattle.
NOTE: due to my hectic schedule, i will no longer be accepting group invitations or submitting my images to groups. no icon, award or image in comments please :)

We'll be getting back into the groove here as I haven't been foaming much lately do to reasons that will become clearer to many of you soon so for this weeks TWOTM here's one of Heritage Marine's Missabe tugs at Two Harbors taken just before I showed up to work.
This little crab was the prisoner of my young nieces. They had imprisoned him in their sand castle and quickly scooped him up when he tried to escape. At the end of play he was release unharmed, but the other crabs had to pay quite a hefty ransom ;)
Have a great weekend everyone.
It has been Explored! [Highest Position: 390 on Saturday 24 November] Thanks everyone!
This little cutie was all alone in the middle of the lake. Hopefully, he was reunited with his family eventually!
this is not a store. here I will put something that was created by me or my partner.
if you like anything, please feel free to take it home. I am very happy if you can feel at home here.
please send a note card to maclane mills,maclane cioc or marimari yuitza if you have anything. the answer might be delayed since the log-in time is not consistent, but I will answer it without fail.

This little snowdrop survived everything that the storm "Eunice" could throw at her, and today's rain has left her unbowed.
This is the western edge of the Marin Headlands. Beautiful as the weather is, the wind was blowing so hard that I had trouble framing my shot!
This was a super rare chance to see the original deco-esque paintings that Crowley created with artist Harris reflected his own dark weird take on the deck based around his self created magick religion Thoth. The kind of work you would never expect to see in Venice which is what made it so inspiring.
This is the morning view from our room at the Qasr al Sarab Resort in the UAE, a hidden gem in the middle of the Rub’ al Khali desert, near the Saudi Arabian border. I posted a similar photograph a couple of days ago, but the difference is that the other picture was taken in portrait format. When comparing the two shots, I believe that the landscape format excels in composition and overall balance.
This was shot at the Marginal Way Skatepark in Seattle's Industrial district. Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!

In this photograph, I wanted to capture the very essence of architectural movement. The tight framing on these black and white curves transforms the architecture into a pure abstract composition. I deliberately chose to eliminate any context to preserve only this undulating rhythm that evokes a perpetual flow. The black and white treatment amplifies the power of contrasts and emphasizes the sculptural dimension of these lines that seem to float in space. My intention was to reveal how architecture can transcend its function to become a graphic artwork where geometry and light combine in a silent dance.
This is from last summer when i just got back home ,i was so exited to get back to this waterfall ,its a very very popular waterfall to visit ,walking behind is a popular thing to do ,just wear raincoats :)
here i was trying out some ps tricks with luminosity masking ,cant wait to go back out and shoot ,been really busy with life plus some boring car trouble but soon i will get a new car so nothing can stop me now lol
have a great weekend
This is a picture of the Radio Tower (Funkturm) here in Berlin during festival of light 2014. I decided to create a composition based on a) a long exposure shot of the Radio Tower, b) a shot of a star scape over Berlin processed with StarStax and c) a picture of the super moon I shot some time ago. The post processing and blending of all the three shots was done with Photoshop, the pictures where taken with my Canon EOS 40D.

You may notice that this green iguana is not in fact green! She came to The Living Rainforest after being a pet for a number of years. It is common in the pet trade to selectively breed individuals with more desirable traits, and artificially create different colour morphs. This can cause issues within the captive population of the species, as it often involves in-breeding.
The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico, and has been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and is very common throughout the island, where it is colloquially known as gallina de palo ("bamboo chicken" or "chicken of the tree") and considered an invasive species; in the United States, feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Green iguanas have also successfully colonised the island of Anguilla, arriving on the island in 1995 after rafting across the Caribbean from Guadeloupe, where they were introduced.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation (the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations) as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 m in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 m with bodyweights upward of 9.1 kg.
This animal is a resident of The Living Rainforest which is an indoor greenhouse tropical rainforest that is located in Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire, England. It is an ecological centre, educational centre and visitor attraction consisting of three glasshouses, operated and run by the Trust for Sustainable Living. The glasshouses are named Amazonica, Lowlands and Small Islands respectively.
The Living Rainforest has been accredited by the Council for Learning Outside of the Classroom and awarded the LOtC Quality Badge. Each year around 25,000 children visit the Living Rainforest as part of their school's curriculum. It is open 7-days a week from 09:30 to 16:00.
