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.

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.

So far, the little miniature rosebush that friends gave us when Dad passed away has had 7 blooms! I have NEVER had any miniature rosebush even survive, much less bloom so lovely!
The Seattle to Chicago Z train wastes no time as it flies through Victory, WI on the Aurora Sub, with a warbonnet at the head end. We nearly got cloud dinged here, but got lucky enough to narrowly avoid it. Weird to think that when I took this, it was in the 70s and it almost felt like summer. As of writing this on Halloween, there is snow outside and temps are in the 30s. You really never know what fall will bring in the midwest.
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.
Gustaf Adolfs torg ("Gustaf Adolf's square") is a town square located in central Gothenburg, Sweden. It was named Stortorget (the Big Square) until 1854 when a statue of the founding father of Gothenburg, king Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden was raised. Surrounding the square are the city hall, the bource, including the law court extension and the main harbour canal of Gothenburg.
Gustav II Adolf (1594–1632) led Sweden to military supremacy during the Thirty Years' War, helping to determine the political as well as the religious balance of power in Europe.His most notable military victory was the Battle of Breitenfeld. He was poised to make himself a major European leader, but was killed at the Battle of Lützen in 1632. Within only a few years of his accession, Sweden had become the largest nation in Europe after Russia and Spain.

San Pedro, CA
11-18-23
From Wikipedia:
"SS Lane Victory is an American Victory-class cargo ship used in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War. The ship was preserved in 1989 to serve as a museum ship in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles, California. As a rare surviving Victory ship, she was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
SS Lane Victory was named after Lane College, which was established as a high school for black youths in 1882 at Jackson, Tennessee, by Isaac Lane, a bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America.
Lane Victory was built in Los Angeles by the California Shipbuilding Corporation and launched on May 31, 1945. On her first voyage, June 27, 1945, Lane Victory carried war supplies in the Pacific. "
The ship was deployed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars and is now a floating museum in the Los Angeles Harbor.
