a possibility for Macro Mondays backlighting.
The size verification is in the first comment box-- it is well under 3 inches- approx 2 and 1/4 inches

For Macro Mondays for 1/23 for tape. This is a fabric case for some reading glasses and to reinforce the edges, it is sewn with bias binding tape. Btb, this was not the picture I thought I’d take but it’s sort of dramatic— yes?… The size verification shot should be next in the photostream— this portion is about an inch and 5/8ths.

ANSH scavenger2 tradition…. My Sunday tradition is to stage and to photograph a macro picture for whatever the Macro Mondays theme is for the week! I don’t think I’ve missed one in years!!

'Blow off a little steam'
World's first steam powered clock
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton helped get the Apollo 11 astronauts to the Moon. She led the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, the team responsible for developing the guidance and navigation system for the Apollo spacecraft and writing the code that brought astronauts into space and safely back home again.
Hamilton’s leadership and work formed the bedrock of software engineering as a whole. In this now-iconic photo, Hamilton stands next to listings of the Apollo Guidance Computer source code.

The MM theme for 1/6 is keychain and I *couldn’t* resist doing this. It is the partner to a picture I took for keyhole/lock!! Will put the size verification up later, if this is the one I choose to post.

Lake Genval is one of the MOST beloved places for a Nature lover and photographer like myself!! You can verify it by watching some extraordinary moments and views I have already experienced here, in my photo file with this name . But this last 23d of June, I tasted this magical place in a more …deeper way!! Because I stayed here overnight!! In the Château du Lac! A lovely hotel with a strong personality and history! Though very modern inside!
During the evening of this day, and in the morning of the following one, I have tasted the magical energy, light, and colors of this place, taking some pictures again, of course! But also sharing the upliftment of these special moments with a very beloved person by my side, a great Nature photographer himself…
I am so happy to share with you today, Lake Genval, on my Birthday!!!
This snow bunting was pretty busy getting a drink from some Mississippi River backwaters and let me approach fairly close. I asked a friend of mine who is an expert birder to verify the ID on this little beauty. It was a new one for me! Photographed in Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.

Exceptions verify the rule, but every moment is forever. And the moment it's over, it's been over half an hour ago. After an hour it's a day ago, after a day, a week, and so on. And when it's over it took only an hour or two, when it reality it was a whole day at work. Selling a ticket to the last car on the ferry, taking a look around if I forgot anyone, and I spot the red convertible all the way at the front. Oh right, that one, now that I see it. That's still there. Completely forgot I ever met that at all. Might as well have been ten crossings ago that I sold him his ticket.
Today I went to one of my ship spotting places. Yesterday... did I even go anywhere yesterday? Ah right, Hattingen. Or was that the day before yesterday? Did yesterday even happen? If so, where was I? Spending another day not worth remembering, I guess.
Dans le domaine photographique, le terme crawler peut avoir une signification différente et spécifique. Il désigne généralement un outil logiciel ou un script automatisé utilisé pour rechercher et collecter des images sur Internet ou dans des bases de données.
Certains logiciels photo, comme Adobe Lightroom ou Google Photos, utilisent des algorithmes qui fonctionnent de manière similaire à un crawler pour analyser, organiser et indexer les photos dans une bibliothèque. Ils explorent les métadonnées, les balises et les emplacements des fichiers pour aider à organiser les collections.
Les photographes professionnels peuvent utiliser des outils basés sur des crawlers pour rechercher des utilisations non autorisées de leurs photos sur Internet. Cela peut être utile pour vérifier les violations de droits d’auteur !
En résumé, dans la photographie, un crawler est principalement utilisé pour explorer, collecter et organiser des images, ou encore surveiller leur utilisation en ligne …

In the field of photography, the term crawler can have a different and specific meaning. It generally refers to a software tool or an automated script used to search for and collect images on the Internet or within databases.
Certain photo software, such as Adobe Lightroom or Google Photos, use algorithms that work similarly to a crawler to analyze, organize, and index photos in a library. They explore metadata, tags, and file locations to help organize collections.
Professional photographers can use crawler-based tools to search for unauthorized uses of their photos on the Internet. This can be useful for detecting copyright infringements!

Meet my courageous friend Ottó, standing on to that rock with that light to give us something interesting to photograph. What's more interesting though, is that shortly after this photo was taken, there were a couple of earthquakes happening almost directly below us, the biggest 4.3 Richter. Lava injections underneath have been verified recently, as this area is sitting on a fault line that's been active in the past few weeks, and many are expecting an eruption literally any minute now. We didn't feel the quakes as we were driving along the Reykjanes peninsula coastlline that night, but after reading about the quakes in the news (on our phones) we decided it might be a good time to get the f*** back home ASAP.

Generally I like my job; it's challenging and has a variety of responsibilities to keep the brain churning... but today was not one of those days.
What was in front of me this morning was verifying information, which meant going through spreadsheets line by line.
But hey, not every day can be exciting right? And at least I managed to mix it up a bit with highlighters and by throwing in a photo of the day.
Side note: Is Flickr being difficult for anyone else? Uploading has become quite a challenge these past couple days.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

"Stacked Plates" is storm chasers jargon for us to describe a strongly striated mesocyclone! Oh this was a B E A U T Y!
Late August 2011. This was a LP (Low Precip) Storm, and she didn't drop an ounce of rain. If anything did come down it evaporated before it hit the ground. It was so damn hot and humid and was just happy the sun was blocked out by the clouds and then this came along. Along with the severe warning it had on it a few counties north of my location as it moved south.
You can clearly see the mid-level inflow bands. Better known as striations. These were so well defined it was jaw dropping!
When the storm got close enough I couldn't really see or verify a wall cloud of any type. We had a few lowerings, but nothing significant to get me to report it. So I really can't call this a supercell. But it sure was fun one to witness!

Once verified the operation and management of the new camera and tested its proper functioning and not to tire the staff, I will upload pics as varied as possible of my huge stock.
In this case it is Zúrich that is a city whose tourist center is beautiful and I have many already edited and about to be uploaded to Flickr.
The conjunction of the urban landscape and the river Limmat gave me the ability to shoot the camera without rest and that most of them are good. The problem is to choose what to show in my gallery, because I have always intended to make it as varied as possible.
The opinion is always personal and there is the possibility of what I like, for another it is a vulgar photograph.
The edition is slightly different from my last images. I have tried to make it visually beautiful even though it is already by itself.
By the way, on the terrace with red flowers that looks to the left of the image, we ate my wife and myself. We ate very well, but the Swiss bills are terrifying.
Thank you in advance for your visits and comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Una vez comprobado el funcionamiento y manejo de la nueva cámara y comprobado su buen funcionamiento y para no cansar al personal, voy a volver a subir fotos lo mas variadas posible de mi inmenso stock.
En este caso le toca a Zúrich que es una ciudad cuyo centro turístico es bellísimo y tengo muchas ya editadas y a punto de ser subidas a Flickr.
La conjunción del paisaje urbano y el rio Limmat me dio la posibilidad de disparar la cámara sin descanso y que la mayor parte de ellas son buenas. El problema es escoger cual mostrar en mi galería, pues siempre he tenido la intención de hacerla lo más variada posible.
La opinión. siempre es personal y existe la posibilidad de lo que a mí me gusta, para otro sea una fotografía vulgar.
La edición es ligeramente diferente a mis últimas imágenes. He intentado que sea visualmente bella aunque ya lo es por sí misma.
Por cierto, en la terraza con flores rojas que se ve a la izquierda de la imagen, comimos mi esposa y un servidor. Comimos muy bien, pero las facturas suizas, son terroríficas.
Agradecido de antemano por vuestras visitas y comentarios.

That DAMNED clanker shot Bunsen! I had imagined this planet to be peaceful, but it's been suggested that it is anything but...
It's a good thing Bull showed up when he did though.... He's never one to be late.... Otherwise I'd be spaced
LOG OVER.

Small time for a small build.
I realize that this mission is LOOOONG over, but I wanted to pickup where I left off... Don't expect anything from this, but just wanted to add to my SIG's story :)
(Definitely have to work on my cameraship, I'm still quite unhappy with the results)
