Madrugada - This Old House
This was the home of Theodore and Mildred Hoover. Theodore was the manager of the Standard Mill and lived in this house for about three years.
Theodore was the brother of the would-be President Herbert Hoover, who occasionally visited Bodie – but that was long before he was president. At the time, Herbert was working as a mining engineering in California and Colorado. But he did stay here at the Hoover home while in town.

This was THE pano that I was most excited to see when I got the drone shots on the Mac as the sky was so dramatic and I thought that the sweep I did would give a really nice comp. I was right (or I hope I am) on both counts but once I started pixel peeping I could see a lot of degradation from the slow shutter speed and ISO I was having to use due to the fading light and relatively high winds. I have edited and re-edited this pano and now I just have to put it out there and see if it is loved for what it is, instead of being disliked for not being technically good.
I wait your comments, good and bad....
This is the vibrant and lively Jarabacoa

Esta es la Jarabacoa vibrante y llena de vida
sus calles siempre activa

crean un panorama digno de ser disfrutado.
This was one i had wanted to shoot for sometime
I was lucky as the sky changed continuosly while I was there
We first shot this train at Range with the three tunnel motors upon arrival in Glenwood Springs they would pick up a couple of Grande Geeps. We were headed west anyway so we followed to Grand Junction where they terminated their run. 11.19.00

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 bird seemed to have something in its bill and I couldn't figure it out until I saw it in my camera and saw that the bill was defective. Must be handling okay since it looks healthy to me.
This lovely centenarian will be celebrating her 102nd Birthday and still works in and manages the 155 Year Old Fremont Store in Minnesota
This wallaby hard a sharp lookout for threats. He must've considered me a threat as he bounded out of the garden when he realised I was nearby.
This is a small crop of the image I'll post next week. Could you guess what it is?

Questo è un piccolo ritaglio della foto che pubblicherò la prossima settimana. Sapresti dire di che cosa si tratta?
This is Niz! She makes a great evil queen, though I find it hard to see her as one, as she's one of the loveliest people I have ever met

This image captures the iconic modern skyline of London, dominated by The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe. The dramatic sky in the background enhances the futuristic architecture of the buildings. On the left, the distinctive, egg-shaped London City Hall seamlessly blends into the surroundings. The River Thames adds a calm, reflective quality to the scene, while the green trees provide a touch of nature amidst the urban landscape.

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.
This is a Panorama at the Base of Billy Green Falls in the winter after some melting. It was actually snowing when I took this
Just like a shot of an ARR coal train I shared not too long ago this really hurts. While it looks cool as a thumbnail when I zoom in it's enough to make me want to retch. And sadly this can not ever be repeated. I was shooting with a lower quality lense back then that just couldn't figure out where to focus when shooting wide, It hurts....but at least I have the memories.
This is obviously a Pan Am Railways special with the two OCS FP9As and two heritage GP9s trailing two business cars enroute to the Glory Days of the Railroad Festival in White River Junction. PAR 1 and PAR 2 are ex Canadian National FP9s 6505 and 6516 built in 1954 and 1957 respectively by GMDD. They passed from CN to VIA Rail in 1978 before being picked up by the Conway Scenic in 1995 when they expanded into Crawford Notch. After 15 years spent hauling tourists in the White Mountains 6505 & 6516 would become PAR 1 & 2 when traded to Pan Am Railways in March 2010 for GP38 252 and GP35 216. The two trailing 'heritage units' are unfortunately now landlocked on the Heber Valley Railroad in Utah. Numbers 52 and 77 are very much on home rails here but wear schemes they never would have worn originally. Both are former Boston and Maine GP9s blt. Dec. and Jun. 1957 as numbers 1726 and 1738 respectively and delivered in McGinnis blue, white and black 'bluebird' paint.
They are northbound on the former Boston and Maine Railroad Conn River mainline (now the New England Central Railroad's Palmer Sub) at about MP 163.7. They are crossing one of the most famous structures on the route, the Sugar River High Bridge, which crosses its namesake river and Main St. / NH Route 103 on this 684 ft long and 130 ft high deck girder span dating from 1931.

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”.
Excerpt from wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz:
Built in 1910, this three storey Edwardian Baroque edifice has significant architectural value for its lively and decorative Beaux Arts façade and is one of the most distinctive buildings in the Cuba Street Heritage Area.
This building has historic value for its association with the Barber family, who operated their dye business from this site for over 70 years, and also for its designer, notable Wellington architect William Crichton. This building also has a long history of use as a physical culture and dance studio, has been home to Footnote Dance since the 1980s.
This distinctive building is part of a significant group of Edwardian commercial buildings on Cuba Street which make significant contribution to the Cuba Street Heritage Area.
The building façade has had relatively few intrusive modern alterations and retains substantial areas of original building fabric.
The Barber’s Building is a three storey Edwardian Commercial building and the lively, decorative Edwardian Baroque /Beaux Arts façade is one of the finest and most elaborate in the Cuba Street Heritage Area.
The original ground floor shop fronts and rusticated columns have unfortunately been replaced in a mish-mash of styles and finishes, but the façade above verandah level is substantially unaltered. The façade here is carefully articulated and the windows and ornamentation are deeply modelled. The unique pair of top storey lunette windows high-light the symmetrical composition of its façade and make a singular contribution to the character of the street. The square-headed and segmentally-arched windows on the upper floors are also prominently moulded and recessed. The façade is notable for the combination of rendered brick ornamentation, and for the polychromatic bands of rendered and plain facing brick, and three of these elaborate polychromatic pilasters tie the central window elements together. Although the polychromatic effect has been altered at the base of the pilasters where the brick and render has been over-painted. The building is capped by an arched pediment, with a heavily-decorated cornice below, and stucco festoons. This intriguing façade makes a strong positive contribution to the lively Edwardian character of the Cuba Street precinct.
The building is comprised of two separate retail units on the ground floor, and dance/ ballet studios on the floors above. The interior retains significant areas of original building fabric particularly in the stairwell which features a fine timber stair, skirting, panelled doors (including ironmongery) and the t&g timber wall linings.
(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 hook and eye card is in my sewing box - and has been since sometime in the 1960s. By simply not throwing stuff away I have acquired a collection of "vintage" sewing supplies.

This was the scene a couple of days ago, sitting on top of this hill with a picnic and getting a gentle tan.
This morning it was snowing when I awoke.
Isn't the weather fun...?

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 is the view from the beach at Stanley, Hong Kong. There is a constant passing parade of the leisure, tourist craft in the foreground and then if you look closely many container shipping craft just visible at the horizon. Almost lost in the distant mist.
This cutie had just a light dusting of misty dew...but they are even cuter on heavy dew mornings...see below!
The first full day of Spring isn't supposed to start with snow! But posting this 8 hours later it is almost all gone. I guess Mr. Squirrel's little talk with Frosty had some effect.
This is the most colorful Japanese Maple that I have ever seen, and it is enormous. There is no color enhancement here.
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 :)
This Lily coming back and bloom more and more every year in my garden.
Happy weekend to all my friends on Flickr !
This was taken on Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula three days ago. The ocean ... more specifically, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and, farther up, the Strait of Belle Isle ... is visible from Route 430, the Viking Trail, for a large part of its distance. In many cases, like here, it is only a few feet away.
If you are familiar with this area in the summertime when it is open ocean, sometimes with huge waves, it is totally amazing to see it like this. It's overwhelming ... almost unbelievable. Surreal! If you live anywhere near this area, or are just visiting, and have never seen this breathtaking sight, it would be totally worth your while to take a drive up this way. You won't be disappointed.
