This plant Actinidia arguta belongs to the family of the Actinidiaceae. It is a frost-tolerant variety selected in Weihenstefan (University of München, Bayern) called Weiki. Kiwi, weibliche Blüte.
This past Saturday was the Mose Woodson Classic Judo Tournament, here in Denton. I managed to make it out to watch and play, after missing last year.
Took my wife's old camera and borrowed a lens and tried to get some good photos. Unfortunately, my inexperience bit me hard, so I didn't get nearly as many as I would have liked. Practice, practice.
I do like this one, however. I don't know the competitors, but white caught blue with a textbook seionage that got the attention of the crowd in a big way. Wish I could hit a throw that clean in competition.
This elephant did a power display to get rid of a white rhino that was making mock charges at him. The rhino and her calf were not very keen to share the area with the elephant but took of into the bush right after this display.
The ears flapping against the head sounds like gunshots!
This store was originally a W.T. Grant store then became Kmart at a later date. This is one of the 20 smallest Kmart stores at only 52,278 square feet!

This hotel opened it's doors in the roaring 20's. Jazzbands were frequently playing in the ballroom of the hotel, and the hotel was frequently fully booked.
At that time, guests were spoiled with fresh water out of the taps and the healthy environment where the hotel is located. It managed to survive several depressions, but it took until the beginning of the 21st century when the owner was forced to sell the hotel to a Russian investor who promised to restore the place to it's glamorous state. But none of this happened and the hotel never reopened it's doors...
The city is eagerly looking for the Russian investor, but he is nowhere to be found. Even Foreign Affairs cannot track the man in his homeland Russia. And so there is nothing left but broken windows, tramps and decay.
When you walk in this hotel you can almost smell how it must have been there in it's heydays. If you look through the enormous amount of fungus, deteriorating it's interior...

….this is the name I gave this toad that lives in our fire pit. Any time I use the fire pit; I take Harvey out and move him quite far away in our woods and he returns back to the fire pit 3 to 4 days later. He has been living here for the past 5 years now. I check on him every day.

This is Pullman Yard, an old freight train warehouse that is now locked down and inaccessible. That being said, it seems to be frequented by graffiti artists, druggies, the random photographer, movie crews, and odd couples on odd dates... Hit it up with a fellow Flickr buddy one Saturday afternoon. I left the entrance permit at home but I swear I had it...
It is funny how even the most manufactured artificial place can get retaken by nature if you just give it time. This is all still indoors, but this warehouse is now owned by the graffiti artists and plants.
This super rare 365 California Spyder, part of an elite group of only 14 cars produced at Maranello between 1966 and 1967, represents an interesting part of the marque’s heritage. The name ‘California Spyder’ is most often associated with the earlier 250 GT series of cars, of which around one hundred examples were made, especially for the US market. This 250 series was extremely successful, with some lightweight aluminium-bodied examples racing at the 24 Heures du Mans and at Sebring. Ferrari hoped to capitalise on this success by marketing its new 365 Spyder under the ‘California’ umbrella.
The 365 California was a radical departure from the more common 250 GT Spyders. It used the same well-developed chassis as the 500 Superfast, its immediate predecessor and Ferrari’s most expensive road car at that time. However, the coachwork fitted to the 365 was an evolutionary Spyder body by Pininfarina. It was the first 365 model to be fitted with a V12 long block 4.4 litre engine. As a total package, the 365 California was designed to appeal to Ferrari’s premium customers who demanded a more exclusive and striking coachwork on their grand touring examples. In fact, the 365 California was only offered to select and existing VIP clients of Ferrari.
Looking at the many desirable attributes of this exquisite Ferrari, it is perhaps the Pininfarina styling that sets it apart. As arguably the last of the great coach built Ferraris, unique elements to the car include its covered headlights, pop-up driving lights and door handles which hint at a mid engine air intake. Of particular significance is the design treatment at the rear of the car, which was a significant departure from Ferrari’s traditional styling.
This particular example, 9849, was delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors USA in July 1967 and subsequently remained in the States. The Spyder benefitted from a detailed and exacting restoration that took place between 1988 and 1993, which was conducted by Michael Regalia, formerly of the Merle Norman Cosmetics Collection in the USA. Recently, the car returned to Europe to form part of a significant collection of great 1960s Ferraris. The Spyder was presented to Ferrari where it was awarded with full red book Classiche certification. 9849 has been returned to its original specification of Bianco with Pelle Nera Franzi interior.
This is my new Lego Star Wars season 5 Gregor. It´s an entry into AndrewVxtc´s contest.
Decals are designed by me.
Please give me a statement about this custom.
Thank you.
This always means the rainy season is about to begin. Beautiful flowers stand on long legs, a sentimental favorite.
A Hi-Key shot of yesterday mornings sunrise on Sandsend beach on the East Coast of North Yorkshire.
The lone figure is my girlfiend Josie taking in the spectacular sunrise that you see quite often on this coastline, the shot was taken a little after 4.30am, glad I persuaded her to get up with me at this unearthly hour, but it was really worth it.
This was the first time for me doing some client work and it was the first time I did an outdoor shooting too!!!
In some shots a speedlight was used, triggered by the internal E-3 flashlight. (Not bought any wireless triggers yet...) :)
Fuat Er and me were quite happy with the result...

This statue is located in interstate 45 in Huntsville, Tx. Designed and constructed by artist David Adickes, it is the worlds largest statue of an American Hero.
This is an awesome picture of Jenny with the shadows capturing her large bust in just the right places.

This well travelled vehicle from down in Dorset was leaving Dover Eastern Docks while on its way back from Europe, and I spotted it turning into this petrol station near Dover Western Docks while driving past, and parked up for these shots.
This fictional Volvo F7 illustrates the initial post-privatisation livery adopted by Freightliner for its road vehicles and those of its contractors. A similar red triangle logo design was added to the inherited locomotive stock until the familiar yellow and green livery was adopted across the fleet. The road haulage operations were, I believe, largely subcontracted and therefore served by a variety of vehicle types (08-Feb-15).

This is a very interesting part of Dublin. St. Michael's Church was a Roman Catholic and later Church of Ireland church which was located in High Street, Dublin, Ireland.
The two remaining stretches of the City Wall visible above ground can be seen at St Audoen’s Church and at the nearby Cornmarket
This shows Champlain Mountain in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. It was named after the famous French explorer and navigator (born about 1567). This part of the island is in Bar Harbor, a well known summer resort area. Please view large by clicking on the image.

This image is from my collection and was uploaded as part of an archive I created in 2017. The purpose of this archive is to make the photos easier to access, and to share with fellow collectors and photographers.
Please be aware that many of these images were scanned as early as twenty-five years ago. There can be blanks in the description & credit lines, however I always try to complete as much detail as possible. Generally speaking, items that are lacking in detail means I do not have the original, just the scan itself. I encourage you to fill in any of the blanks (via the comment field), including the credit if you know.
All images have been collected over the past 40+ years of shooting Kodachrome and digital images, slide purchases and many years of exchanging. I was fortunate enough to trade with some of the best airliner photographers around the world.

This most unusual ecs move was close on the heels of 5L48 and was already running very early following a 25 minute early start from the depot. A northbound Central Line train that was overtaking had just disappeared out of the bottom of the picture in the nick of time. I assume the Great Western 180 was going on hire to Hull Trains.
The tree growth has become so rampant now that the trackbed of the former branch into the Park Royal Guinness brewery above the second coach has completely disappeared.
Two weeks ago when we were at Turrimetta Beach the rocks were completely entombed by golden sand. Today mammoth seas had shifted that sand to expose cliffs of green lichen. Huey threw in some totally wild barrels that were whipped skyward by a bone chilling Westerly blow.
As the sun rose all I could think was, "This is Mega".
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 close look at the left hand lower edge of the Moon from five separate video frame sets in infrared stitched together moving from the edge of darkness to the brighter lit side. The image was taken at the same magnification I normally reserve for the major planets. Seeing was reasonable but nothing special.

This was the last day of the 2018 Wondercon - my favorite Comic Con. Like the prior two days I was able to shoot with a number of awesome Cosplayers; some were new to me, others I had shot with in the past. It was a great experience and I can't wait for the 2019 Wondercon.
I took these photos in late March 2018.
This is the Wal-Mart discount store located at 240 Manchester Square in Manchester, KY. It was remodeled over the winter of 2010/2011, and was completed in February 2011. Like the Wal-Mart stores in Jackson, KY and Big Stone Gap, VA, it didn't gain any new features. However, the interior layout of the store didn't change at all (save for the new department signage).
This was the view we had in Florence from our AirBnB rental. I have to say that I was skeptical about using someone's home or condo, but it was actually really nice and such an easy transaction between the two parties with their app.
This was created using 3 horizontal images with the 24mm TS lens that I rented and can't stop thinking about.
Have a great weekend.
"Lonely This Christmas" was a popular single by the English glam rock band Mud, that topped the UK singles chart in 1974 and reached Christmas number one.
The song
Written and produced by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, "Lonely This Christmas" was Mud's second number one single in the UK, spending four weeks at the top in December 1974 and January 1975. It was the third number one single that year for the ChinniChap writing and production team, and was performed in the style of Elvis Presley's slower songs from his later career. Due to this, the song is often erroneously attributed to Presley.
'roid week - last day
I'm ending with my favorite of the shots I got this week. As always, it's been amazing seeing everyone's beautiful polaroids. Wonderful inspiration.
..this old tree stump is decorated quite prettily by the changing colours of fall I think..this is the flash of colour I saw by the roadside that got me to stop and sit in the ditch for a bit on my way home the other day.. just too pretty to not stop for!
