This morning I let the gulls enjoy their meal. The result was that I left the hide at 11 a.m. as all the action was already end.
This is one of the 10 Leyland Force 7V that was left for Auction after the rest were stripped and crushed, and this Yellow beast is the last coupe shell produced. Making this one Rare vehicle from Australian Auto History.

This grand riveted iron bridge spans the Illinois River at Spring Valley, Illinois, carrying Illinois Route 89 traffic across the waterway.
This is inside the front of the Milwaukee Art Museum. I'm using a telephoto (85mm) lens which compresses the distance. I also have a view using a wide angle (12mm), which shows the triangles further apart.
This is an Elfdoll Tasha head that I sold recently. I just wanted to paint one! ^^ I like Elfdoll's semi-realistic style. And I tend to feel a lot of their girl sculpts work better as boys. ^^;; So I kinda painted this one like a boy. I hope his new owner will love him!
This Lancia Ypsilon was registered last February. So it is one of the last ones sold outside of Italy. After the failed attempt to sell Chrysler models in Europe as a Lancia Fiat didn't see a future for the brand anymore.

This past Thursday morning was blustery & chilly at Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I was the first one up there that morning, but right behind me were a couple of guys from St Louis (I think) who had left the day before, driven straight through, arrived in The Park at 4am, & decided to hike up to Dream to photograph sunrise. If you guys see this, it was really great to meet you!

Power cars 43357 and 43274 pass Bathampton powering 1Q22, 07:47 Derby RTC - Bristol (via Weymouth) test train on 14 May 2025.
This evening we are in Clovis, New Mexico, This set of road power has ducked into the yard for one covered hopper. It must have been important! From here the will get their train together and head for Belen and points west.
I miss the solid blue and yellow lash-ups. Wah-wah...

This video shows thunderstorms affecting our annual family camping trip! Our camping trip this year was from July 19-22, 2015. This year, we headed to the Wolf Creek Campgrounds located at the Union Valley Reservoir. The thunderstorms quickly formed during the afternoon hours. Skies were quite clear during the morning. Talk about afternoon convection and atmospheric instability in the making! We even heard quite a few faint rumbles of thunder while we were at the lake. (If you want, put volume up and if possible, wear headphones to hear the thunder). The storms came when we were right at the lake...but it was perfect timing. Now I got to enjoy my type of weather! Even some of us wanted to go for a dip in the lake during the rain/thunderstorm lol. It was a great experience indeed! The storms subsided by the late afternoon hours...
(Footage/pics taken on Monday, July 20, 2015 while in and around the Union Valley Reservoir, at the Wolf Creek Campground side.)
How things got interesting weather-wise:
Our trip so happens to fall in days when the region was to experience thunderstorms! What timing, right?! Even on Sunday, July 19, 2015 when our trip started, this was the same time when moisture from the remnants of former Hurricane Dolores went over SoCal, breaking rainfall records there. Even when we were leaving San Jose, CA, t-storms have already occurred around the Monterey areas!! Some of the moisture even eventually made it up here around the Sierra Nevada where we were! So I took full advantage of this and took quite a few photos and video of the t-storms that did form and drift into our campground. On Monday, July 20, 2015, some of us even had the rare chance to swim in the reservoir during a thunderstorm! Don't worry, we didn't get struck by lightning, though one of us saw a CG lightning strike nearby to our north or so! It was a nice experience to swim in the lake in such weather! Then on Tuesday, July 21, 2015, the region had another similar weather pattern. T-storms developed again during the afternoon hours. Even a severe t-storm warning was issued for the region as slow-moving storms popped up around the area. Some of us (including me) were lucky enough to see some lightning from a slowly approaching storm cell to our south! The fun part was seeing these storms develop and approach towards while we were chilling\swimming at the lake. Overall, our annual family camping trip this year was an interesting one, thanks to the storms! The t-storm development had slowed down at the time when we were leaving, too (Wednesday, July 22, 2015)! It's pretty neat to realize that the storms had occurred only when we were there up in the Sierras.

This batch comprises the three trips made in Sep'64 - to the IOW, Swindon & Gloucs.
The best shots from the latter two have already been posted - these are the remainder. The IOW shots are 'new' - albeit only a few and of variable quality!
This was only my second trip to the IOW - on a Sat. afternoon (after work) on 19/9/64.
I ventured along the Cowes line this time - stopping off at Havenstreet for a lineside location. This is a somewhat unsharp image of No. W17 Seaview taken near Havenstreet - the train heading for Cowes.
this was on one of those logs that goes all the way across the creek that before the bridge were the only way to get across
This shy snake looks just like another branch in a mangrove tree where it usually coils motionless. It is more active at night. According to Baker, in Singapore, it is found in Sungei Buloh, Lim Chu Kang, Sentosa, Pasir Ris and Pulau Ubin. This mangrove tree-dwelling snake is found in Sumatra, peninsular Malaysia to Thailand. It is also sometimes called the Mangrove pit viper and was previously known as Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus.
Features: To about 1m long. A small snake with the typical broad triangular head of a viper and large red eyes on a rather angry looking face. Those seen in our mangroves are uniformly dark purplish brown, sometimes with a fine white stripe. Elsewhere, they may be speckled. Like other vipers, it has a prehensile tail and can grip a branch to hang on while it whips out the rest of its body for the lethal bite. This venomous snake can strike far and rapidly and can be aggressive.
What does it eat? It feeds on lizards, frogs and other small animals, possibly small birds. Like other vipers, it has heat-sensing pits on its lips to detect its prey. *

This week, something from an audio visual collaboration I'm doing with a musician friend of mine. (In reality, he's more of a sound artist, than strict musician.)
This is one of a series of images taken this week in response to a sound file he sent me. If anyone's brave enough, here's a link to the short, resulting piece - youtu.be/CH0Uc0GUlaM
This is along a beautiful walk from Alloa to Cambus, thought i would give it a bash in Black and white as suggested by my flickr friend Stuart.
This is a photo I took in 1999 of the family visiting our Swan River.

This statue is quite beautiful. Repairs on the statue were poorly done, so some digital repair helped it along.
Abbottstown, Pennsylvania.
This has just come into bloom for us indoors, one of three in a pot, with the usual glorious scent.

still missing summer...

wow...it seems like forever since I've been on here...school started, and I've been busy with that...sorry about not keeping up with everybody's photostreams. :(
explore, highest number 52!
This species is a regular nester up here. It often chooses a protected nest site under the eaves of our cabin or garage. They typically raise a handful of chicks, and are kept busy going back and forth with insect catches. While there are other Empid Flycatchers up here, this species by far predominates. The other likely candidate is the Hammond's... it is said to have a grayer (not olive) back.

This is the biggest of 3 staghorns, and it now exceeds my ability to move it indoors. So it spends winter outdoors, with protection, in Mobile’s zone 8b climate. Using a dolly, I can move it to the south wall of the house, where the stucco traps warmth and provides protection from the north. A double wrapping of large bubbled plastic shields those largest tender plants from all but the most extreme cold.....and our winter lows are in the 20s, and 28F is considered a “hard freeze” here in Mobile!
This is the sink in the painting room in my studio. It is beyond just a dripping faucet, it is a steady stream. Plus there is a crazy amount of paint crusted on everything. My studio is such an excellent place, haha.
Don't forget to check out my blog!
This collage was built up-side down in a way. I started with a clear acrylic sheet and pasted the paper face down. This technique is a little more difficult, mainly because once it is put down nothing can be put in front of it. You can make changes to the foreground. Most of the objects are circular, or spherical, but just a few are actually photos of planets.
This is a lovely rural site, friendly staff, friendly locals, not outrageously expensive and a nice place to fill up. The lady who runs the place makes the best flapjack I have ever tasted, now there's a recommendation!
Richard has a photo of this place taken in 2015 when it looked exactly the same, see below. As he says, it looks like a former Shell site. He didn't have that annoying speck of dust on his lens though! There's an image of the garage from 2011 on Geograph.org where the pole sign had a different design but still looked like a former Shell sign.

I went back to this place a couple of days later to buy more flapjack and to take some more photos, they will follow in a few week's time!

Note, I took this photo on the way back later in the day when the speck of dust had been discovered and removed!
This is a geek cherry that I ran across. It has a small growth on the side of it.
It's not a too-mah!
This fictional image was produced at the request, and to the specification of, Daniel Stazicker. As the fleet number suggests, it is a West Yorkshire Road Car vehicle (or more precisely, a vehicle acquired second hand by WYRCC), repainted into an approximation of Samuel Ledgard livery for services in the former Samuel Ledgard area. The aluminium painted wheels were not a feature of the original Ledgard fleet. The esteemed Leeds area independent operator sold out to the WYRCC in 1967; had it not done so, it may ultimately have operated its own Leyland Nationals (11-Jan-13).

"This remarkable, sometimes incoherent transcript illustrates a phantasmagoria of fear, terror, grief, exaltation and finally breakdown.
Its' highlights have been compressed on this recording to make their own disquieting points.
The time is 9:30 pm, 1 hour after the participants have eaten sugar cubes saturated with LSD. We hear brian and his fellow travelers observing their gradual transformation.
Brian's been amusing his friends by chewing on some plastic flashbulbs.
Brians' mood is gradually changing, he orders all of his friends into another room, closes the door, he sits alone on a wooden floor, visible only by the dim light shining from the bathroom. He talks to himself.
The time is now 1 am, Brian is unable to snap his fingers and terminate the trip, which continues.
He sobs, as his joy turns to fear.
Brians' rocky journey ended 12 hours after it had so innocently begun, he was shattered by it.
This young man never had a bummer in some 33 LSD trips. Every one of them was a delight, everything under control. He needed only to snap his fingers and down he came, anytime. But on voyage 34 he finally met himself coming down an up-staircase, and the encounter was crushing." - Porcupine Tree / Voyage 34 (Phase 1)
