This weeks theme on Feathery Friday is going to be water birds, any thing to do with water doesn't have to be ducks or geese, herons, shorebirds, or even birdies taking baths. See you then!
This lovely lady will be the start bird
This photo was taken at a student Design Thinking session at the Design Tech High School. This photo is accredited to Kerry Bitner.
This pic was shot with a defiltrated Canon 30D and a Hoya R72 filter.
Photoshop postprocessing: Blue and red layer was inverted.
This is another night shot taken of the EuroStaete building in Stadskanaal. This time the side lights are not burning.
This was an older part of the school site, back from when it was a hospital, hence why we have a big generator. The two new buildings are standing where two wooden shacks once stood, used for storage, and as the offices for the maintenance staff. There was a massive amount of hospital junk left over behind there sheds, old beds etc, so this was all cleared out along with all the bushes.

Udta Punjab’ just can’t seem to catch a break. At first, there were reports that the film was going to be banned by the Central Board for Film Certification because of its storyline. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh, it appears to be an exposé and a commentary on the thriving drug culture in Punjab.
Expletives aside, the film reveals a dark reality that the state of Punjab has been facing for years, with more than 70% of the youth in the state being addicted to drugs. With elections coming up, ‘Udta Punjab’ obviously puts the reputation of the current state government (led by Akali Dal’s Prakash Singh Badal) at great risk.
According to some reports, the Censor Board has made 89 cuts in the film, and now even wants all references to the state dropped from the film, including the title. The producers of the film, Phantom and Balaji, are now planning to take the Censor Board to court regarding this verdict. They have taken a joint decision to fight it out till the end, even if it means delaying the film’s release.
The film industry, as well as audiences, are clearly pissed off at the ridiculous demands of the Censor Board and are taking to social media to express their anger at the blatant suppression of free speech and ‘censoring of reality’.
A few samples to show that Twitter is buzzing loud (and angry).
This shot of a robin looks like I've masked the robin in colour in Photoshop and left the background in B&W!! Only adjusted the contrast slightly to give it a bit of pop!
This is the back of the old Woolworths store which was on the Parade in Leamington Spa. It looks closed up and empty but on the other side it's occupied, by H&M I think.
This shot was taken in 1988. At that time the world was at nearly end of the Cold War. I was interested in Poland. Aushwitz, near Krakow, was a place where I wanted to visit.
At that time, there were very few people from Asia. After people passed, they looked at me very curiously. This was astrange experience in my life.
This barbacan was destructed during the second World War. After the War, poeple in Warsaw restored this great Wall.

The snow started around 6am and stopped around 3pm. I went outside just after 4pm. School kids were playing even with this small amout of snow!
This chapel is all that remains of the original quarter-mile-long building, demolished in 1966. The birds were just luck.

I thought it was a contest so I called Coors. They said it was a mistake and would I like some free beer to replace it... Would I?!

This beautiful butterfly has three major color forms. In all three the forewings are similar in their patterning of black and pale yellow, but the hindwing markings may be orange, blue, or green. The underside of the forewing is similar to the upperside; the hindwing is black with white rays. The sexes are alike.
The Rosebud Diner in Somerville, Massachusetts. It's a retro classic, made from an old railway car and with most of the original art deco tile still in place. It's decorated for St. Patrick's day, which will be celebrated next weekend.
I was going to crop out some of the junk on the counter in the foreground, but then decided that it's all part of the atmosphere of this place.
It looks like it should be rotated counter-clockwise just a smidge. Sorry about that.
