This is the after picture. Two objects in the sky falling quickly enough to be captured as a blur. I had this setting on quick exposure, so not sure what this is about.
This is what buses on the 16 route look like today. This picture also appears on my other Flickr account “Willesden Lane and surrounds GALLERIES” :- www.flickr.com/photos/willesdenandthelanes/ , which is more dedicated to local history, reminiscence of early times in my life and looking for photos taken in Kilburn in the 1940 – 1970s.
This is the view looking into the building seen in the previous three photos. I shot this from the doorway--I definitely did not feel like stepping inside, as in real life this looked a lot darker. Unquestionably the creepiest location I've ever photographed. View large on black.

This small pewter jug was given me by my aunt around 40 years ago. It was made in Ireland and is decorated with the Book of Kells. There is a no more wonderful way to enjoy a healthy pour of Jameson Irish whiskey.

This shot really shows off the ash pan and firebox glow. I ask that you please excuse the wires - I was in a rush and didn't tidy them before the shot.
One fun thing to note is that the Firebox really is a wide, open space inside - there's 1 single LED in there providing the "fire" effect.
This was opened in 1899 and celebrated Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and extended in 1911. This card posted 1904. Surprisingly, given it's small size, it survived to 1986, and after being closed was demolished. More details:-
This is a very rough sketch done with fine-line marker on a small piece of paper. I made this sketch a few days ago to help me make a color choice for the wooden codfish cutout that I am decorating for the Marblehead Arts Festival. For this project, I created a pattern inspired by Portuguese blue and white tiles (azulejos) and gave my fish a Portuguese name, Bela Bacalhau (beautiful codfish). By Friday, I had drawn in the whole design onto the wooden fish with fine-line marker. (See post for May 6, 2016). But I was still trying to decide about the color for the little "wave" patterns inside each square. Should I leave them as is color them in with dark blue, or color them in with a lighter blue? I decided to do a little rough sketch so I could ask innocent bystanders what they thought. (See post for May 9.) I asked family members and friends which square they preferred. What I heard: the two-tone idea is good, but do I want people to perceive the outline or the pattern? That was an interesting question, which led me to a better solution. I wanted a blue that was close to the outline color, but perceptibly different. That way, I would create a two-tone effect, the pattern would pop out, and the outline would still show. So I grabbed another Sharpie and filled in the waves in the white square with a bright blue. (See upper right square.) That color seemed right, but I wasn't ready to actually change the pattern on the wooden fish until I did tried one more thing. . . To be continued.
This is the locomotive used in the film ' Holiday Camp'.. BR No 69881 and was shown at the start of the film arriving at Sandsend station with passengers...the engine was specially cleaned up for its starring role in the movie and went on to be quite a celebrity on this coastal route....the view is above the cliffs at Sandsend....Photo.

This is a picture of my S-M-C Macro-Takumar f4 using a new (to me) Petri lens that I'm working on adapting to be used on my R7. The Petri mount is super weird and not very popular or common. This is my 3rd Petri lens.
I'm 3D printing the mount. So far, so good. But for this image I just held the lens up to the M42 to Canon RF adapter and shot it.
The lens itself looks interesting. I need to get this mount figured out first and then do some testing.

This has got to be one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever been to in my life! Of all the Disney resorts I have seen, this one is, far and away, the best of them all!
This bus was new to Stagecoach Fife as 53706 in 2010.
Seen here on the original Forth road bridge opened now to buses, taxis and cycles (cycles on the cycle path only).
This wig is for my Jolene *Halloween Kuroo* :O
What do you think .. YAY or NAY x3 ?
I am trying to figure out which look is perfect for each x3
This series was from a short shoot we did yesterday to demonstrate my makeup skills. Our model, Megan was patient enough to sit through a few transformations, and makeup sessions... but we got this very diverse set of looks from her. AB1600 through large softbox above camera, AB800 with barndoors behind model shooting up.

Having visited this dockyard in August 2017, it brought back many memories for me having sailed out from there in 1963 on H.M.S. Venus to the Azores. I was then a Cook in the Royal Navy serving at H.M.S Ganges in Suffolk. It was a cold winter day then and I was over the side of the ship scrubbing it clean before we sailed. Arriving at the entrance it was a bit disconcerting to see the queues of people waiting to get in. The queue took 40 minutes to allow where I was to arrive at the ticket gate. A bag search told me I was to leave my Monopod with them for safe keeping at the ticket office. This also applies to Tripods for camera equipment so remember this.
The first ship you see is the H.M.S Warrior on the left hand side dock. This ship was the fastest, largest and most powerful warship in the world when she was launched. Such was her reputation that enemy fleets were intimidated by her obvious supremacy and deterred from attacking Britain at sea although she never fired a shot in anger. HMS Warrior was a 40 gun steam powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron. On board HMS Warrior which was launched in 1860, Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured battleship. The ship is powered by steam and sail and was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day and had a lasting influence on naval architecture and design. Work and life on board reflected both the changes the Royal Navy experienced as it evolved into a professional service and shifts in Victorian society.Built to encounter the latest of the French ships, Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate sea warrior. Yet by creating a new era in naval technology, she very soon became outdated. After 22 years’ service, Warrior’s hull was to be used as a depot, floating school and an oil jetty. Painstakingly restored in Hartlepool and then back home to Portsmouth since 1987, Warrior is a unique survivor of the once formidable Victorian Navy and now serves as a museum ship, visitor attraction, popular private hire venue and more. HMS Warrior was rescued in the 1980’s, restored and brought back home to Portsmouth and is owned by Warrior Preservation Trust, an independent charity. Sadly, time has it taken its toll and today she is in a sorry state - her bulwarks, which keep her watertight, have failed and are deteriorating to a point which places her at significant risk.
Next ship I saw was H.M.S. Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known for her role as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She additionally served as Keppel's flagship at Ushant, Howe's flagship at Cape Spartel and Jervis's flagship at Cape St Vincent. After 1824, she was relegated to the role of harbour ship. In 1922, she was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She has been the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012 and is the world's oldest naval ship still in commission. This the world’s most famous warship HMS Victory is crumbling under her own weight. An 18-month programme to bring this historic ship back to its original condition. H.M.S. Victory has been sitting in dry dock in Portsmouth since 1922 supported by 22 steel cradles positioned at six metre intervals. It has been well recorded that the 252 year old ship is collapsing ( so to speak ) under her own weight and following a detailed laser scan of 89.25 billion measurements and computer modelling, a new support system has been designed to record how the ship would sit in water.
The Mary Rose Museum is run by the Mary Rose Trust. The construction has been a challenge because the museum has been built over the ship in the dry dock, which is now a listed monument. During construction of the museum, conservation of the hull continued inside a sealed hotbox. In April 2013, the polyethylene glycol sprays were turned off and the process of controlled air drying began. In 2016 the hotbox walls were removed and after reopening on 20 July 2016 the ship is currently on display behind glass. This new museum displays most of the artefacts recovered from within the ship in context with the conserved hull. Since the opening it has been visited by over a million people. The museum is dedicated to the 16th century Tudor navy warship Mary Rose as well as the historical context in which she was active. The museum opened in 1984.T he Mary Rose is a Tudor ship that was built in 1510. In service for 34 years, it sank in 1545 and then discovered in 1971 and was raised in 1982.
Another ship I went to visit was HMS M.33 which is the only sole remaining British veteran of the bloody Dardanelles Campaign of 1915-1916, and also the Russian Civil War which followed. The ship is one of just three British warships from World War I still in existence. HMS M.33 was built in 1915 on the orders of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. She was a floating gun platform designed to bombard coastal positions from the sea. Her first active operation was the support of the British landings at Suvla during the Battle of Gallipoli in August 1915. She remained stationed at Gallipoli until the evacuation in January 1916. She served in the Mediterranean for the remainder of the War and was involved in the seizure of the Greek fleet at Salamis Bay in 1916.
In the dockyard you will find many other attractions and museums along with various shops catering for items of interest connected to this historic site.
This particular space in the River Bend shopping center is another one of the supermarket locations that Kroger had in Milwaukee, many years ago. (This may have been branded as Krambo at one time as well.)
This store opened on 13 December 1956 as a Krambo under Kroger ownership. The distinguishing characteristic this time around is the massive, twin-pylon sign by the corner of the store; again similar to that in Manitowoc.
Oddly enough, although the store itself is currently reoccupied by Blockbuster Video, the twin-pylon Kroger sign has been reused by the adjacent tenant, O'Reilly (née Checker) Auto Parts.
This one I'll trade for any other Disney rare. Also here's my NEW flickr account, I ran out of space on here : www.flickr.com/photos/50347891@N04/
This was taken in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, in 1981. The day was cloudy so this photo is not among my better ones.
This car is a one of one with a very interesting history. Check out 1967 Shelby Convertible dot com.

Seftenjrian artillery convoy near Leningrad in july 1943.
As many other German allies, Seftenjrian army did not have a strong motorized capacity obligating them to use horses, bikes and... foots!
this was the day that i finally tackled our upstairs office. to get rid of all the junk and finally claim this odd little room as a space of my own.
This was near our cabin, many acres of forest burnt last year, looking on the bright side the floor underneath is now covered in wild flowers.
This is where all began. The place where I met Her for the first time. The place where I spent every single day for almost two years.
Now I would to say goodbye to this damned 2012, started with the best purposes with sweet hugs and kisses, standing on the beach of my favorite lake during a frozen night... just me and Her, a flaming lamp, a bottle of vine and a cover...
Isn't it the best place to say goodbye to the past?

made this yesterday...
Now I have to sand sand sand
and then I'll glue the legs (I'm using putty in this pic) and colour them brightly for Jayou's room! I have 3 more stools.
In these days I like thinking of making my own furniture for puki because matching the size is really difficult.
I wanted a lot of megahouse items but some are very little. I also received a 1:18 Vespa model today and even if it fits well it's a bit to little.
So for simple furniture I'll do it myself.
Next project: Gugu's room! Since he's "so cool" he'll have an all white and black room, with minimalistic things and a big wardrobe.
I'd also like to do other mammut things, but they may be too complicated... maybe the bed? Or the library?
This is the classroom this year. I've tried to do a better job of making it visually appealing to my students, but also useful. I'm really rocking the blue tape this time around.
We began this evening with a talk and a book signing by Dr. Mary Henly Rubio, the author of THE definitive biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery ( who wrote Anne of Green Gables, many other novels, and 5 astonishing journals of her own life...) ...in Owen Sound , Ontario.
...Earlier, we had made a visit to the Tom Thomson Gallery in that same city...to see beautiful large ceramic works by Susan Collett, and Crocheted, printed and photographic works by Doug Guildford....both well worth the time to see....GO..., if you are nearby...the exhibitions end on 16 Nov.
