Am I in some prank TV show that you're all in on?
I took this Friday morning at 7:15. These signs are still on every single entrance to Union Station. I misstated in my testimony when I told Del. Norton that I believed they were painted on. They're actually just clear plastic that seems to be glued on. It should be a matter of 15 minutes to take them all down. And yet nearly 72 hours after Norton said she wanted them down, they're still there, still declaring Union Station private property.
I took a photo of the other signs yesterday, and yes, they're still up today, too.
For the record, I shot this in front of a security guard. He didn't stop me.
this picture was taken while he is standing on his crib at the front of our window when I noticed the soft light bounces to his face and I was happy with the result. this is a non_HDR, only adjust with the curve and contrast and a littlebit manipulation in the eye.
This is a cat, no surprise there. Al is a special cat a cross with a cornish rex sho he has crinkly hair and whiskers, he always looks a mess. He also looks as though there is no one home... as his name Al.. Alzheimer's...

This is from the 6th May, from the roof terrace in L'Orxa, Alicant province. The night had remained above double figures for the first time since putting the light out here and mostly cloudy, which resulted in more moths with quite a few new ones as well as larger numbers overall.
You can see more of my moth images on my main website HM Wildlife Photography - Garden Moths or my other flickr account HM Wildlife

I saw this tutorial on how to make Buddie icons so I checked it out but it wasn't an Inkscape one. . .but I tried to copy it as much as I could and this is what I got. I don't like the body part I just really don't. I think the head came out alright though. *shrugs*

On second thought I don't like the chin.

Saint-Lambert Locks, St-Lawrence Seaway.
Écluses de Saint-Lambert, Voie Maritime du Fleuve Saint-Laurent.
The Saint-Lambert Locks are part of the St-Lawrence Seaway. They have also been an integral part of our lives for the past 47 years since the opening, to which I was present, in the Spring of 1959. We see the locks from the streets that border the St-Lawrence River and from the bridges that we use to go to Montréal. We see the huge ships that pass between Saint-Lambert and Montréal, travelling on their way to and from the Great Lakes and the Atlantic ocean.
There are three bridges linking Saint-Lambert and the city, Jacques-Cartier, Victoria and Champlain. Downtown Montréal is ten minutes away from Saint-Lambert via Victoria bridge that begins in the middle of our town. As people take this bridge, sometimes twice daily by car or by train, they pass directly over the locks.
Shortly before a ship arrives at the locks, an arm of the bridge closest to the ship is raised to let it inside while the other arm is lowered to let the diverted traffic pass. The locks' gates are closed and the water level is raised. When this is done, the traffic is again diverted, this time to the newly lowered branch of the bridge, while the other side is raised to let the ship pass.
Our region is known for its considerable cycling paths. An important link to the extensive network of South Shore and Montréal cycling paths runs over a highway, the locks and a short part of the river to reach the islands, then Montréal. When a ship must pass and the bridge is raised, people on foot or on their bicycles using the part of the path that is integrated to the bridge must wait, sometimes a long time, for the bridge to be lowered. Meanwhile, they enjoy the view!
More photos will be taken from other perspectives in the near future.
This render is mostly for the looks, but also to demonstrate the height difference between the entrance gate and the entrance to the barracks. The height difference is 34 bricks
Okay, this is part of the story of rebuilding society so, here goes nothing...
"Alright, you've probably at least heard about a type of rouge "Chicken Walker" by now. The good news is, if you can see this, it means you are still alive. The bad news is, well, pretty much everything else. If you have been feeling depressed lately, it is highly advised that you do not continue watching the program. Alright, so you probably have been wondering where the he** this beast came from. Stay tuned to find out. Just kidding, here you go. Several companies had been experimenting with self-controlled mechanical walkers. They were pretty much built the same way as human controlled, except these were controlled by an extremely high tech artificial "brain" that was designed to assess risks and act accordingly. During a test, the "brain" assessed that its creators were risks to it, and killed them all. Then it escaped. It was actually a police officer Dan Higgins that first came across it. He radioed in when he saw it moving towards him. As it moved closer, he pulled out a 9mm pistol on it, but stayed on the radio. The "brain" immediately assessed "risk" and blew him to bits with one of its six “smart" (automatically controlled, also called Fire and Forget) missiles. The radio was still on, but the officer was surely dead. The local police station immediately new it had a huge problem on their hand, one that they were by no means capable dealing with and immediately requested military assistance. Two Humvee jeeps were immediately dispatched, but both were quickly eliminated with its 37.64x12mm cannon. From there on, the "brain" considered all humans as a risk, and now kills everybody on sight. This concludes our, very solemn newscast for tonight. Our thought and prayers to everybody out there with dead our injured loved ones.

Kyle had this concept in mind last week and I humored him in its execution. The gayest thing I have ever photographed, for sure.
Used his apartment wall, a softbox and brolly for this one, at request. What a gaylord.
This is something I've been wanting to do for quite some time and as my job finally ratified a new union contract and we get some substantial money back, I decided this would be my spoil.
These are the Leotek IL6 P3, all with clear lenses and they came from a distributor in Northern California.
This scene has changed hugely since the early 1990s when this was taken. BVG tram 219 559 is seen on route 24 in Prenzlauer Berg (Torstrasse) in former East Berlin. These are Tatra CKD T4 trams which have now been withdrawn from service in Berlin.
This was my first advance booking - this lovely lady booked with me in March for this 'In The Night Garden' cake, which was due the weekend just gone! I had so much fun making it, but due to my own fault, ended up pulling an all nighter to finish it (well, this and a couple of other orders!)
It's the first time I've made figurines - def need some lessons on this! The characters are Iggle Piggle, and Upsy Daisy (learn something new everyday!!)
The cake is a vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream.
Pullback view of steak and potato image.
If this pullback is a little different than the final image, it's because THIS was my last shot and I started to EAT my lunch...
final image here... I only gave it a little pop of sharpness in Photoshop.

strobist sb800 sandwiched between a small 2mm (in front) and large 3mm white craft foam for main light. Hand held a second large 3mm craft foam for fill in front and below camera. Oh, I also set my White Balance for the exposure with my little tiny WB button on my Nikon D50., I didn't simply set it for 'flash' Flash fired with wireless ebay trigger.

This Ruby-throated Hummingbird has been hanging out on my Mexican Sunflowers all day. Something is not quite right with it. Maybe the heat has gotten to it, maybe something worse. It's a little slow and hardly scared of me. It's been sitting on the flowers all day. Hopefully, it'll be OK. Regardless, I'm thankful it allowed me to get the best photo I could possibly get of a Hummingbird, and I'm happy I've been able to provide a spot for it to rest and eat. If you want Hummingbirds, Mexican Sunflowers are the way to go. I've grown them for two years now and they really bring in the Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and butterflies, specifically Monarchs and Swallowtails.
This is a tightly cropped image of the Rangerette's traditional line photo taken every year at the Kubiak Mansion in Kilgore, Texas. This is a nice subsection of the group highlighting the dancing group's diversity.

This is oversaturated a bit - flickr didn't desaturate it as much this time upon uploading. Again, not a telephoto lens so crisp details are missing. But it was an amazing experience anyways! Maybe I'll have better shots after this weekend.
Sandhills stand about 4 feet, by the way. Probably a mated pair here with a juvenile or older offspring.
This is the underground concourse connecting the East and West wings of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. - featuring "Multiverse", the light sculpture installation created by American artist Leo Villareal.
Our trip to Washington, D.C. a couple years ago was one of the more visually interesting I've been on recently. I currently don't seem to be taking many good photos, so I've been going back through the archives and, after a second look, have found quite a few more from this trip that I thought were worth posting, so here they are - enjoy!
FYI, here's the original set from this trip:

This was back in the day when my daughter found riding this attraction fun. Now, we just walk on by. Thanks for looking and enjoy your Saturday.
This is Sophie. She bit the FiOS repair guy that came this morning and then didn't stop barking for an hour.
Decided to set up some lighting in her bathroom pen area and have a little photo session. Seemed to cool her down a bit.
: )
This stuff looked like animal food! Smelled funky too. Once the brew was boiling we added this to the mix.
