WEEK 1 – Amoco Returns!
In this pic we’re taking a close-up look at the top of one of the fuel pumps, which like the canopy now proudly bear the updated torch and oval Amoco logo. I think the new Amoco design in general, and this former Shell station’s conversion in particular, turned out pretty well, especially the canopy (even if the design doesn’t extend all the way around the entire property: see the second image in Thursday’s set).
As you can see above, this station has a bit of a weird layout, with two double-sided pumps on either side of the convenience store placed in the middle: would anyone happen to have any idea concerning the origins of this station? (cont.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
This photo is shot with the torch as the only light source. No PS edit in this one (except Size and name tag), what you see is what the camera caught RAW. A difficult shot as the fire melted through the lego torch handle which left a photo window of only 10 seconds. After that... I had to save Bilbo from 3rd degree burns.
P.s. Bilbo came out unscathed from this shoot.... though his facial expression will later be that of pure anger, for putting him in the danger zone. He's demanded a vacation which I had to go along with:)

Etlingera elatior (also known as torch ginger, ginger flower, red ginger lily, torch lily, wild ginger, combrang, bunga kantan, Philippine wax flower, xiang bao jiaing, Indonesian tall ginger, boca de dragón, rose de porcelaine, and porcelain rose) is a species of herbaceous perennial plant. Botanical synonyms include Nicolaia elatior,Phaeomeria magnifica,Nicolaia speciosa, Phaeomeria speciosa, Alpinia elatior, and Alpinia magnifica.
The showy pink flowers are used in decorative arrangements, while the flower buds are an important ingredient in the Nonya dish laksa. In North Sumatra, the flower buds are used for a dish called arsik ikan mas (Andaliman/Szechuan pepper-spiced carp).
Burn off torches at the old Pima County Water Reclaim facility. It really used to stink!
Thankfully they've shut it down and moved it. The new one contains the odors...
“Byartho praner aborjona puriyey fele
Agun jwalo, agun jwalo
Ekela raater ondhokar-ay
aami chai pother alo
Agun jwalo, agun jwalo”
~ Rabindranath Thakur , my towering hero.
There are things in me that prevent me from being myself. There are my horrendous failures, lofty ambitions and the utterly misplaced belief in my abilities. If there was one thing I could do to these litters of my soul… I would burn them all. I would burn the darkness within that often extends to my surroundings and dims my senses. I would light up all my failures and make enough light to keep me warm through another cold night. I would ignite all my ambitions to make myself a well-lit hermit’s hut. Most of all, I would burn the burning desire to be somebody I am not and never will be. Then may be… I will be me.
Audaciously, here are the ever meaningful words of the great poet translated to the best of my ability:
“To burn the litter of the failed soul
Torch the flame, torch the flame
In the melancholic darkness of the night
I want light for my path
Torch the flame, torch the flame... ”
Go-torch characters, Chissai Ossan, Sanasenabona, Koakkuma and Akkuma, participated in J-POP SUMMIT 2015! People enjoyed taking photos with them and seeing them on stage!

285/365 - "Human Torch"
Last night I attempted to photograph the meteor shower at Cave Point Beach in Door County. Shooting falling stars is a lot like shooting lighting: you set up your camera, get your composition ready, open the shutter for a lengthy period of time, and hope something happens within your frame. Last night I saw around a dozen or so falling stars shoot through the sky, but unfortunately didn't capture any with my camera.
I'm perfectly fine with that. For one thing, it was absolutely a beautiful way to spend 3 or 4 hours on Saturday night/Sunday morning. There's barely any light pollution out there, so you can just see thousands of stars once your eyes adjust. I had a great time messing around with long exposures, photographing the Milky Way (images to come), and having some fun doing some light painting. For this shot, I decided to turn myself into a zombified version of the Fantastic Four's Human Torch. Even though this doesn't show the Milky Way or any shooting stars, this is my favorite shot of the night.
This was a 90 second exposure.
(And it seems like in a handful of my images, there's a subtle green glow just above the horizon. I'm not sure if these were faint northern lights or just the glow of the sky...)
Good times!
The universe is awesome.

This video shows a candle peacefully burning as an unlit propane torch descends. At some point the propane and the candle flame meet, light and color follows.
Cheers.

This is IkonN 5100 on the torches.
I think this is the movements he makes when he actually dances to music!
I had a lovely afternoon in St Albans today waiting with the crowds to wave through the Olympic torch. Everyone was in a fantastic mood and the weather was really good to us - actually very hot! I have put all the images into the public domain but I am choosing this image for pic of the day. I think this is Kate Thomas from St Albans. She just looked so happy carrying the torch - was kind enough to walk through for us so lots of opportunity to capture her happy, smiling face. It was a great afternoon, really pleased I took myself off to see the event, defo worth it.
Happy Sunday x
