Lyon - Croix-rousse

Actually victory was short lived for this nosy tree swallow. At White Lake, the bluebirds share airspace with other types of birds and this morning there were plenty of tree swallows circling about. While the bluebirds were off gathering supplies this one thought a little investigation was in order. It flew about, looked inside the nest box and then perched on top, sounding the call of victory. It's victory was short lived, the bluebirds returned and off the swallow went!

This is actually three different frames that I superimposed to make this image. The center shot is the original and I added the frame to the right and to the left. The three individual shots are pretty nice but I think the combined shot tells the story a bit better.

Happy Wing Wednesday!

The Victory Monument is located on 35th and Martin Luther King Jr Drive in the historic district of Bronzeville in Chicago, a few blocks from where I lived for over a decade. Even though many things have changed since I've been gone, it felt good being in a familiar territory. Home is always home.

Constructed in honour of Russia’s victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War II), Park Pobedy offers powerful reminders of Russia’s suffering during the war as well as providing views over the skyscrapers of Moscow. The entrance to the park is marked by a long promenade surrounded by fountains, which leads up to a 142-meter high obelisk covered in representations of scenes from the war. Behind the obelisk there’s also a war memorial museum and further on down the hill an exhibition of tanks, war planes and other heavy weaponry. Beyond that the park stretches on into the forest and down towards a tributary of the Moscow River. It’s great for history buffs and also those who enjoy vast green spaces.

On Saturday 17 March, Gerardine (Ged) Kearney was elected in a by election to the Australian Parliament as the representative for Batman which is in the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne where I live. I went to watch Ged being declared our new local member and then sneaked into her post declaration celebration to capture this picture of her with some celebratory champagne and her victory cake.

Holga ist auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Wenn es sehr kalt ist, funktionieren weder der Verschluss zuverlässig, noch meine eingefrorenen Finger. Wie auch immer, hier gab es offensichtlich eine Doppelbelichtung. Eigentlich ein Fall für den Mülleimer, andererseits sah das Negativ so ungewohnt schön schmuddelig aus.

The Holga is also getting a bit long in the tooth. When it's very cold, neither the shutter works reliably, nor do my frozen fingers. However, there was obviously a double exposure here. Actually a case for the rubbish bin, but on the other hand the negative looked so interestingly grubby.

Victory Monument is a bustling Bangkok intersection with a skywalk and makes for a great location to shoot light trails.

Only one problem, tripods are not allowed. But who follows rules :-) Security guard told me NO; I apologized moved a few meters and set up again.

We met at a sky garden in the Northshore area. Was there waiting to take pics of the sunset and these two were also there waiting to view the sunset. We started chatting and found out that they are foreigners working in Singapore as household maids. They are very nice girls and socially, very responsible. I noticed, at the sky garden, whenever they saw some rubbish thrown by other people, they will clear the rubbish into a bin nearby. I asked them about their action and both replied that they dislike seeing rubbish everywhere in such a nice place. Of course, I praised them of their good character. Now, where can you find such great people?

Moment the football team of my prefecture has league title

I was out in New Jersey over the weekend and took this shot of the Victory Bridge. I had my mini tripod with me (Ultrapod 2) which I always carry in my bag whenever I head out, and took this shot as closest to the water as I could. I also upgraded from the kit lens to a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. I spent the weekend trying it out and testing it's low light performance. So far I'm loving the quality of pictures this lens is producing.
