When Iceland changed from left hand traffic to right hand traffic in 1968 the whole bus fleet in Reykjavík had to be renowed and all the old yellow buses where replaced by beautiful new, green Volvo buses. After faithful service this one was parked in the beautiful valley Vatnsdalur in northern Iceland where it now gives horses a shelter from the storm.
Another in a series of old New England colonial homes.
Worked on this one quite a while to get the mood
as I envisioned it.
The original shot was taken in broad daylight.
Thanks for looking!

When all i could see was the profile, I thought it was a cat for an instant!

For Looking Close on Friday theme 'Toy Cars'.
Any resemblance to the iconic ending of Ridley Scott's 1991 film Thelma and Louise is purely intentional. But lacking a backdrop shot of the American West, I've had to substitute an image looking north to the Isle of Raasay from Skye.
I've had this idea for quite some time, but lacked an appropriate model car. When this theme came up, I checked out the local junk shop and found a model Mini Cooper and VW Beetle, neither of which were suitable. So went all out and 'shelled out' for this beautiful little Corgi MGB model convertible, never mind that it isn't a Thunderbird. A tricky part was finding snails that would be able to fit into the seats.
The weather remains total carp on Skye, with little respite from the generally poor conditions, so fortunately I have my snails to play with. Thanks to Maria for this week's theme - I've had hours of fun...
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

When the heat is coming like waves it's nice to do more or less nothing
Well - we decided to find an island to hike on in the heat
There were some nice chairs here and there to use if you needed to relax
The breeze was so wonderful while hiking by the coast so it was well worth the struggle to get to the car afterwards 😁
On this eve of a new year, I do.
I wish a path forward is illumined, that it sprinkles clarity in this troubled maze we travel through.
I wish we reach for the light of a star that's reaching for us.
Happy New Year to you all, my Flickr friends.
Comments disabled, thank you for your quiet presence.
When I passed this abandoned farm, I imagined this scene in black & white. I shot this photo in color, but this is the result after post edit using NIK silver efex pro.
Back when it was known as the the Delaware-Lackawanna PT-98 passes under the "Cut Off" at Slateford, PA heading for the Norfolk Southern interchange.
I submitted this and three other works to the 34th Visual Arts Alliance Jutied Membershipo Exhibition, which opens on Wednesday next. This one didn't make it, but I've added the two that did--each posted previously--in the comments below. Each was digitally remixed from a single exposure of a drab concrete floor in an art space repurposed from an earlier industrial use. The colors are strongly enhanced, but were already implicit in the uneven lighting at the scene. With a little exploration, art can emerge from a post-industrial environment.
The title recalls Walt Whitman's elegy for Abraham Lincoln, although truncating it to just 3 words allows a more hopeful interpretation. The image reminds me of a garden in raking light, either dawn or twilight. My wife thinks it looks more like a birch tree on a lake shore. Happy for you to find your preferred interpretation.

When one is asked what is it like in March in Winnipeg? This photo taken a few days ago shows the effects of Spring on the left side of the balcony with an open patio door and a BBQ; on the other side of the balcony wall is completely snow packed with bikes covered and no open windows or use of the balcony. A juxtaposition of elements if there ever was one, lol.
This is another one of the photos I took at the local golf course some time ago. The trees are naked now and the place look rather boring.
When we pray, God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine in His own time and in His own way.
A GP38 in untouched Conrail paint may have you scratching your head at the photo date, but on the Hartwell Railroad a throwback like this is nothing new. They roster a CNW GP9, RF&P GP35, and a (stored) BLE SD7, among other gems.
When seeing is reduced to / separation of elements / and the whole assembly tumbles to pieces.

when Mother Nature creates magic and turns the sky into works of the most beautiful art.
And that's what she did last evening. Monica and I were going out to take fly masks off the horses and we were so wowed we could hardly believe it.
We had our iPhones but I had to have Monica push the button of mine while I held it up with my left hand to capture this cloud.
I did no post processing on this image at all. This is exactly how the sky looked after the picture was taken. It was so gorgeous to me. Mother Nature rocks!
Here’s another image from last year’s trip to NZ: I already uploaded the image Beyond Nowhere from this location whose description also includes the whole story around our journey to this beach, and it is something to remember: the arrival on the beautiful South Island, the five-hour drive without a single break over the windiest roads I’ve ever driven (and all with a big motorhome on the “wrong” side of the road) to the northernmost point where civilization is very sparse and electricity is limited, and finally the hurried hike to the beach. But all of that was so worth it and we did make it for sunset which was less spectacular than we had hoped (don’t get me wrong, the local is spectacular, but there was just no interest in the sky), but as the light faded I noticed the water channels in the sand that made some nice leading lines towards the Archway Islands. And so we kept shooting until it was completely dark and enjoyed our limited time at one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve yet been to. I hope you like it!
When almost all the Summer flowers are gone, there are always a few Gazanias putting colour and sunshine in your flower bed. /
Lorsque la plupart des fleurs d'Ete ont disparu, il y a toujours quelques Gazanias qui restent pour mettre de la couleur et du soleil dans les parterres.
Detail of a 1939 Merryweather Fire Engine. The vehicle is festooned with beautifully polished brass and copper. Was part of the private fire brigade at Sandringham House, Norfolk.
