I used to want to grow up
I thought that I could be free
But now I'm realizing
It's cool, it ain't for me
It's cool, cause all my dreams
Are more than possibilities
I get so vicious
When I don't feel delicious
I just need a friend
So much to carry
These days are kinda scary I don't want the fun to end

I use this small whisk every morning to scramble two eggs. Sometimes I just have the scrambled eggs mixed with diced roasted long green chiles, sometimes made into a breakfast burrito with either smoked salmon and dill, chorizo, or chicken cooked with green chiles.
Many of the dabbling ducks use their flat bills to strain food items from the water, but the big spatulate bill of the Northern Shoveler is adapted to take this habit to the extreme. Flocks of shovelers often swim along with their big bills barely submerged in front of them, straining food from the muddy soup of shallow waters. Despite their heavy-set build, shovelers are good fliers; at large gatherings, groups often are seen taking off, circling the area repeatedly, then alighting again.

Spanish
La Puerta de Alcalá es una de las cinco antiguas puertas reales que daban acceso a la ciudad de Madrid (España).
Se encuentra situada en el centro de la rotonda de la Plaza de la Independencia, diseñada por el urbanista Ángel Fernández de los Ríos en el año 1778. En el cruce de las calles de Alcalá, Alfonso XII, Serrano y Salustiano Olózaga, junto a las puertas del Retiro: Puerta de España, Puerta de la Independencia (entrada principal a los jardines del Retiro) y Puerta de Hernani.
La puerta daba acceso a aquellos viajeros que entraban antiguamente a la población desde Francia, Aragón o Cataluña. En la actualidad es una puerta monumental que se encuentra ubicada junto a la Fuente de Cibeles y el Parque del Retiro. Fue construida por mandato de Carlos III en sustitución de otra puerta anterior que existía ya desde el siglo XVI. El diseño y obra pertenece al arquitecto italiano Francesco Sabatini. Compitieron con Sabatini otros proyectos por parte de arquitectos españoles: Ventura Rodríguez y de José de Hermosilla, siendo finalmente elegido personalmente por el Rey el diseño de Sabatini.
Se trata de una puerta de estilo neoclásico y aspecto monumental similar a los Arcos de Triunfos romanos, se erigió mirando su exterior a oriente en el año 1778. La puerta ha sido posteriormente restaurada en cinco ocasiones en más de dos siglos de existencia, siendo la última a finales del siglo XX. La originalidad de su fábrica consiste en ser el primer arco de triunfo construido en Europa tras la caída del Imperio romano, siendo precursor de otros como el Arco de Triunfo de París y la Puerta de Brandeburgo en Berlín.
Ha sufrido desde sus comienzos diversas transformaciones urbanísticas en su entorno. Pasando de ser la frontera exterior de Madrid, a un centro turístico de obligado paso que aparece insertada casi en el medio de la misma ciudad. Este cambio se ha debido al ensanche del siglo XIX a lo largo del barrio de Serrano y la prolongación de la calle de Alcalá. Finalmente es desde 1976 considerado por el Estado Español como un Monumento Histórico-Artístico, extendiendo su categoría a la misma Plaza de la Independencia.
La puerta ya desde su ubicación final fue adquiriendo desde finales del siglo XVIII relevancia en el pueblo madrileño, y a finales del siglo XIX era ya uno de sus iconos más característicos que aparece en numerosas ilustraciones de la ciudad. Al ser uno de los monumentos más representativos, en su doble condición de mirada hacia el interior de la ciudad y al exterior de la misma. la Puerta de Alcalá ha servido como soporte para todo tipo de manifestaciones políticas y artísticas y en sus inmediaciones se han producido numerosos hechos históricos.
English
The Puerta de Alcalá ("Alcalá Gate") is a Neo-classical monument in the Plaza de la Independencia ("Independence Square") in Madrid, Spain. It stands near the city center and several meters away from the main entrance to the Parque del Buen Retiro. The square is bisected by Alcalá Street, although the street itself doesn't cross through the monument, and it is the origin of the Alfonso XII, Serrano and Olózaga streets. Its name originates from the old path from Madrid to the nearby town of Alcalá de Henares.
Madrid in the late 18th century, still remained a somewhat drab villa in appearance, surrounded by medieval walls. Around the year 1774, king Charles III commissioned Francesco Sabatini to construct a monumental gate in the city wall through which an expanded road to the city of Alcalá was to pass, replacing an older, smaller, gate which stood nearby. It was inaugurated in 1778.

I used to walk by this street very often, but since the new MRT line started last winter, I changed my daily route to another alley: www.flickr.com/photos/shangpc/albums/72157651625181588
That day I was in a hurry to go to a family lunch gathering, saw this scene on the way without my camera in hand. After the lunch, I went straight home, grabbed my camera, and returned to this location. Fortunately, nothing was changed.
The owner of the prosthetic leg was about ten meters away on a wheel chair, selling chewing gums. He asked if I were a reporter. He said he does not need report, nor help from the government or anyone. He just lost his leg a few months ago, things had been tough, but he thought as long as he can sell 40 gums a day, he can support himself no problem.
I thanked him for allow me to take pictures, wished him good luck and left, but didn't ask why he had to put the leg so far away from himself.
A few days later, I bumped into him again, this time I asked him why, and his answer was quite amusing. He said he is sick and tired of looking at the leg, that's why. But once he putted it further away, about triple the distance as it is now, a janitor came by and thought someone dumped it, then tried to carry it away, so he had to chase the janitor (on his wheel chair). Therefore it appears the way it is now: far enough, but not too far.
這張是我入圍2016年邁阿密街頭攝影比賽（MSPF 2016）決選的作品。
那天我正要去參加一個午餐聚會，半路上在我家附近看到這個景象，很想拍下來，但相機不在手上。吃完飯我直接回家，抓了相機再回到這裡，幸好一切都沒變。
義肢的主人，坐在離這裡大約十米的一個輪椅上，正在賣口香糖。他看到我手拿相機，問我是不是記者，他說他不需要報導，也不需要政府補助。幾個月前他才因為工作，失去了左腿，但最困難的時間已經過去。他算過了，只要一天能賣四十條口香糖，就可以自力更生，不需要別人幫助。
我表明自己不是記者，於是他同意讓我拍。拍完之後，我向他道謝，也祝他順利安康，但離開之後才想起，忘了問他為何要把那條義肢放那麼遠？
過兩天再看到他，義肢仍是同樣擺法，我又上前跟他聊了一下，這次沒忘了問他為什麼。他的回答很妙：他說因為剛截肢，不知為何，很討厭看到那條假腿，所以眼不見為淨。一開始他來這裡時，義肢擺得更遠，在這堵圍牆的另一端，離他大約有三十公尺。但有次來了一個清潔隊員，以為是誰不要的，要把它拿去丟，他只好飆著輪椅去追回來，所以現在才擺成眼前這個樣子：有點遠，但又不會太遠。

Used as a night fighter, hence the black paint.
It is always a thrill to see a Corsair, one of the most significant fighters of WW2 and beyond - this one served in the Korean War.

I used a Lee Big Stopper with this shot creating some unusual colour shifts. The reds are not as vivid as usual and look more like blackberry. I find that using a LBS with Aerochrome the results are a bit hit and miss.

People used to live here,... A long time ago...
The Château de Kaysersberg is a ruined castle in the commune of Kaysersberg in the Haut-Rhin département of France. It was built for Albin Woelflin, imperial bailiff for Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, around 1220. The site was acquired in 1227 by the lords of Horbourg and Ribeaupierre. It had an important strategic role as it allowed the Empire to close off one of the routes across the Vosges Mountains towards Lorraine. The circular keep is the oldest part of the castle and one of the first of this type in the upper Rhine valley. It was designed at the same time as the keep at the Château de Pflixbourg. The first curtain wall, which included the keep, was replaced after 1261 by a wall enclosing the keep, according to a contemporary plan, which allowed an uninterrupted circuit of the walls and strengthened defences on the side likely to be attacked. In the 14th century, the castle was the residence of the imperial provost or bailiff. Following a fire, the defence wall was raised to 4 m. In the second half of the 15th century, the castle defences were modernised in response to developments in artillery and firearms; the crenels were closed with wooden shutters, the merlons were equipped with firing slits and the round walk was completely covered. In this period, the castle was merely a sub-bailliage and personnel were heavily reduced. During the German Peasants' War (1524/5), the castle was besieged. It was restored by Lazarre de Schwendi in 1583.
According to archaeological excavations and studies, the castle was abandoned at the end of the 16th century. After the French Revolution, it was declared a national asset and sold to François Joseph Boecklin de Boecklinsau, who planted vines, and later passed to the Bastard family.

I have used my vacation as a birding SPREE!!! And I'm particularly happy about this one, these plovers are occasionally seen in my part of California, but never when I look for them. But they're moderately common in Hawaii, I saw several on the Big Island, enough that I was able to get a couple of passable pictures.

I used to live for about ten years in Haute-Savoie, near Bonneville. So I was already familiar with the superb rocky ridge formed by the Bargy massif. But here on the Solaison plateau, at an altitude of 1,500 meters (4921 feet), we have a spectacular view on this massif, the surrounding mountains, and, cherry on the top, on the Arve valley below with Cluses, more than 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) lower.
The nearest peaks are Grand Bargy (2,301 m / 7,549 ft) in the center, then Pointe du Midi (2,364 m / 7,756 ft) to the right and Pointe Blanche (2,438 m / 7,799 ft) to the far right.
_____________________________________________
Panorama grandiose
J'ai habité une dizaine d'années en Haute-Savoie, à coté de Bonneville. Je connaissais donc déjà la superbe barre rocheuse constituée par le massif du Bargy. Mais ici au plateau de Solaison, à 1500 m d'altitude, on a une vue grandiose sur ce massif, sur les montagnes environnantes, et, cerise sur le gâteau, sur la vallée de l'Arve en contrebas avec Cluses, plus de 1000 m plus bas.
Les sommets culminants les plus proches sont le grand Bargy (2301 m) au centre , puis sur la droite la Pointe du Midi (2364 m) et la Pointe Blanche (2438 m) à l'extrême droite.

well there's been a few shots of the sunrise in Auckland already on Flickr today, here's my contribution - was a beaut morning, the ship was a very slow beast so managed to take out the tiny bit of blur from the exposure.
There was even a seal bobbing around, never seen one in the gulf before and bit to far out for my 10-22mm but so good to watch this seen unfold in total peace with this chap.
(not HDR), colours were quite strong this morning

Using a very shallow DOF (f2.0) and placing focus on the petal tip gives this image a somewhat painterly look.

These small dolls are called Sarubobo. These Sarubobo's heads are made with balloon vine seeds. This is an ornament they ride a twig. It looks like they enjoy a roller coaster. They are also used the charm for easy delivery.

Green Green Grass of Home
Song by Tom Jones
The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Dow the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Listen
... The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
... Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad, old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home
As they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home...
