In the second home we owned, the one we bought from the proceeds of the sale of our first one (as described in a comment below) we built a swimming pool in the back yard, and every year a pair of migrating ducks would stop over in it on their journey's both south and north. I was covered with a tarp because swimming weather was far off, but the tarp still had lots of water in it.
LOL. I just re-read the comment you replied to and realized that I was making reference to a comment I had made below to Nowhere Man about the power of having a photo darkroom in my first home had made it a boon to sell it to purchase a new home (where the ducks landed) but I hadn't realized that the comment with that story had disappeared (as some of my comments do from time to time - a glitch that neither I nor Perrie can understand).
That is a photo, beautiful photo, of the Aerial Lift Bridge Duluth MN connecting to Superior WI.
Many an ore boat passes under her as can be seen in the photo below. It was only a few days ago that the memory of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior in the ''gales of November'' took place. This is a photo of Edmund Fitzgerald sailing under the bridge, date unknown.
Oh, the memories. When I was a little boy I spent my summer vacations at my grandmother's cottage on the bay side of the Burlington-Hamilton beach strip that divided the western end of Lake Ontario from Burlington Bay (a/k/a Hamilton Bay). It was a short walk to the canal through which the ore ships like the Edmund Fitzgerald would pass through to deliver iron ore to the Steel Company of Canada where it was processed into steel. My uncle used to take me fishing on the Burlington Bay side of the canal pier, and I would watch those ships sail through, but the Edmund Fitzgerald had not been launched until 1958 so I never saw it.
The Queen Elizabeth Highway, that runs between Toronto and Buffalo, passed over the then bascule bridge that when ships passed through with the bridge raised the traffic would be lined up for miles, but it has since been replaced by the soaring Skyway bridge under which the ships would pass. A railway line also runs along the beach strip and used to cross the canal by means of a swing bridge which has since been replaced by a lift bridge similar to the one in the photos above. I used to flatten pennies by laying them on the track. My grandmother's cottage was purchased and demolished along with all other cottages on the bay side in 1953 or 1954 when the building of the Skyway bridge commenced.
You should post a YouTube link to Gordon Lightfoot singing The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Tho only version I have access to is nowhere near as good.
A/noon Buzz....Oh we can fix that...Here is Charlotte...They have just found the biggest Funnel Web spider...It is huge and its fangs are two centimetres long and can go thru your finger nail..On yes it can kill you in 15 minutes...Just thought I would mention that...
The arachnid is so big that staff at Australian Reptile Park have named it Megaspider.
The park says the female is roughly twice the size of a typical funnel-web spider, more comparable to a tarantula.
The 8cm funnel-web spider's 2cm-long fangs will be milked for venom that can be turned into antivenom.
The Australian Reptile Park, on the NSW central coast, is home to a funnel-web spider venom-milking facility.
That picture is still surprising me brother... open it up in a new tab, click the image to get the full size image and scroll all the way to right end of the pic...
Look closely along the ridge line in the distance and you will see the top of Mt St Helens....
According to the USGS maps, Mt Rainier is 41.2 miles away, ESE from my location... Mt St Helens is 113 miles away from the location of where I took the pic.. This camera lens combination is amazing.... Incredible range.... I was flabbergasted when I spotted that...
Yes, I believe I can see Mt. St. Helens on the right on the original panorama image once it's enlarged to full page width, and of course it is much clearer on your enlargement of that right hand sector. What make and model of camera do you use?
What I meant about not knowing to enlarge the photo is that I never used that method of opening it to a new tab. Of course I knew how to enlarge an image by stretching it using the corners.
It's not an enlargement brother, just a screen cap of the area on the full sized image...The software I use for that is Screenpresso ... I've seen the image in Gimp enlarged and didn't notice Mt St Helens in the background till last night myself....
The camera is a Canon Rebel T7i, I used the standard EFS 18-55mm lens that came with it... Everything set to automatic.. I'm Thinking on the next clear day going back and taking a pic thru the EFS 55-250mm lens that came with it as well....I think I'm going to enjoy learning how to use this thing.... Here's another image I took of Mt Rainier from a different location, it does take gorgeous pics....
That IS a gorgeous picture. I see that you use a full size DSLR. Photography has been my hobby my whole life, and my most favourite camera was a Canon F1 35mm film SLR. It was considered a professionals' camera back in its day. Back in 1972 I was the first person in Toronto to buy one, when it first came out. Now I use a Panasonic point-and-shoot DMC ZS 60 that has a Leica 30x zoom lens that is a full size camera equivalent of 24 to 720 mm. I particularly wanted that specific camera because I wanted one with an electronic eye-to-camera viewfinder in additional to the usual touch screen so sunny days wouldn't wash out my view of the image, but not only did I find out that the screen is so good the sun doesn't wash it out but the vision in my right eye has since deteriorated to the extent that I can't use the viewfinder. LOL. My left eye is still okay but I can't press my left eye to the viewfinder because my big nose gets in the way. LOL
Thanks Buzz, yeah when I was deciding what camera to buy I decided it was a full sized/featured one.... I still don't know if I made the right choice but I'm satisfied with it... Now to learn how to use it...
Looks like a pretty good choice to me. It's a good brand and has an APS-C sensor, which I think is only one step down from a professional full frame camera. I bet you could do some decent astrophotography with that -- planets, nebulas, galaxies and stuff.
I've been looking at some of those Canon cameras myself. I've reached the end of what mine can do and I keep wanting more. I'm ready for an upgrade, but sheesh, they can get expensive fast.
All the settings can be mind boggling. There's probably several YouTube videos of people showing what everything does. YouTube can be extremely helpful sometimes. Just search for your model. There's also some general photography how-to videos on there, which I find helpful from time to time.
Same here in the Inland Empire, G. It seems that summer just does not want to give up just yet. Looks like it will be the same for a few more days yet. But, it really chills off at night, down into the mid to upper 50's.
Morning. Spring in my State has not really eventuated this year..it is 13oC today..just got out of bed turned the heater on made a cuppa and come back to bed..I have now got 5 kilos of cat sitting on me and it is raining outside. Even the cat is not going out.
We are only 2 weeks from summer and feels like we are still in Winter. Not had one day over 25oC yet..
Issuing sheep warnings as there is hail and gale force winds coming.. roll on Summer..
Used a magnifying glass, couldn't find it, but then I know my vision is failing at my age anyway. I felt like Howie in the movie K-PAX who Prot (Kevin Spacey, as the man from the planet K-PAX) told to look for the bluebird.

It DID SNOW up here for a brief period, unfortunately, the flakes were too small for dramatic pictures, but, I got some mountain thickets with runoff rivulets which I will put up tomorrow. Thickets are biologically rich, good places to see wildlife, plant life and geological features. They tend not to be popular to outdoor photographers and I think that’s a real oversight …
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't remember anything bringing me more joy as a child than puppies. Off the charts kind of stuff. I just loved them.
Hey everyone, there's going to be a lunar eclipse overnight on Thursday going into Friday. It's supposed to be the longest in centuries.
Penumbra is supposed to start at 1:02 AM Eastern, umbra at 2:18, and then you'll get about 3.5 hours of a near-total eclipse (just a sliver will remain uneclipsed) until it starts leaving the umbra around 5:47 on Friday morning.
I don't know how successful I'll be, but if it isn't too cloudy (or cold) I'm going to try to shoot a time lapse of the whole thing. Also, the full moon rises on the horizon right around nightfall later on Friday. I'm going to try to get a time lapse of that, too.
Just wanted to let everyone know. It might be an opportunity for some awesome photography.
For detailed information about the timing of it from your specific location, go to Time and Date.com, enter your location, and then click on the eclipse tab in the bar menu.
Thanks, Buzz. I originally had the frame reversed as you said, however, as the frame appears to be seeping from the frame, I thought it best to have it seeping out from the bottom under the warriors feet, rather than appearing to dripping down onto the Warrior from the top.
Also, the frame is 'busier' at the top than at the bottom, which allows for the Warrior to take a wider attack stance toward the bottom portion of the frame, which allows the Warrior to appear more formidable.
But, it depends on the artists' concept, and the viewers' thoughts, which way works best. (smile)
Allow me to explain how I see it. I don't see any bleeding from the bottom frame, and with the heaviness of the frame at the top I get the feeling it's top-heavy, kind of unnatural. Actually I see more seeping from the top left now than from the bottom.
Thank you for clarifying what you see in the framing, Buzz. That is the difference in how the artist (me) sees things in their artwork, and how the viewer (you) see things while looking at the same image.
You know that I appreciate your input and letting me know others see things differently than what I see. It is somewhat similar to a crowd standing in an art gallery and seeing the same image, yet, many will see something quite different than what the artist sees.
And with differing vision capabilities. I see such differences much like looking at one of Mac's abstract paintings. We may each see something different in the painting. Each enjoying the artwork in their own way.
As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
A fiery dance to warm us on a Sunday. The people here prefer to wear heavy sweaters and coats in their homes in winter than spend money on a heating bill.
Really great photos, Mac. Lots of varied Fall colors and a bit of early winter snowflakes. The rivulet in each photo is a great way to start the transition from Fall to Winter.
Thanks, A.Mac. You just showed me why they call it a THICKet. Just as Bilbo Baggins and I were never too old to go on a new adventure, we are also never too old to learn something.
Dive in!
Will be in the mountains later and will have limited connectivity … but post away!
Great duck shots, thankfully not experiencing buckshot.
Duck, Duck?

More wood ducks, in my little front yard pond a few years ago.
Really well photographed & presented.
Thanks.

Cool, Buzz. It's amazing how they can remember things along their journey like that.
Ducks in a pool reminds me of Tony Soprano, lol.

That's a spiritual beauty EG.
Stunning, EG.
I was going to use that word. It is a beauty.
It's the only word to use....

That's a very serene and peaceful photo, EG.
Nothing like a lift bridge to give a person a lift (vehicles and maybe even trains as well).

Absolutely.
Outstanding. That one should be printed and hung on a wall somewhere.

Woooo. It looks like it belongs in a horror or sci-fi movie. If it's twice normal size, I wonder if our polluted planet is causing mutations.
Nahhhh...just fed well..

Sunset Through the Trees

Very painterly!
Thanks, Perrie.
Superb colours and an excellent concept.
Thanks!
Very nicely done, G.The effects are are somewhat other-worldly. Almost like waking from a dream.
Thank you, Raven Wing.
I like your description.
Friday once again......hope you enjoy.
As always.
Thank you very much, Buzz.
Tonight's sunset, Stone Creek, Ocala FL. at 7:04 it's 74 degrees, time for a jacket.
Nice photo.
That's pretty chilly. It got to 91 degrees here today. Right now, at 4:28, it's only 87 degrees.
Same here in the Inland Empire, G. It seems that summer just does not want to give up just yet. Looks like it will be the same for a few more days yet. But, it really chills off at night, down into the mid to upper 50's.
Very nice the tree silhouette creates both depth & strong, dramatic contrast.
That's a beauty, Kavika. Just a lingering trail of the sunset to bid the day goodbye.
The magnificent and infinite variety of sunsets that you enjoy makes me very jealous.
Damn, we have been going down to 45 at night. Only about 60 today.
This is weather where you see people wearing shorts and a jacket...
Morning. Spring in my State has not really eventuated this year..it is 13oC today..just got out of bed turned the heater on made a cuppa and come back to bed..I have now got 5 kilos of cat sitting on me and it is raining outside. Even the cat is not going out.

Issuing sheep warnings as there is hail and gale force winds coming.. roll on Summer..
Morning Shona. Nothing better than a cat comforter. Haha
I always can't wait for it to warm up but then, around here, it can get too hot.
So I try to enjoy the in between times.
One to ring in Saturday...
It rings as clearly and beautifully as a bell.
Thanks, Buzz. Very glad you like it.
There's a mountain bluebird in there. September, Jemez Mountains, NM.
Used a magnifying glass, couldn't find it, but then I know my vision is failing at my age anyway. I felt like Howie in the movie K-PAX who Prot (Kevin Spacey, as the man from the planet K-PAX) told to look for the bluebird.

In case anyone wants to know about Foo Dogs (the first image), I have posted an article about them: Link -> ->
Can’t see this on my laptop up here on the mountain but will connect when home tomorrow where I can see all these posts on a big iMac.
Supposed to rain here then SNOW; will take pictures for sure if it does.
It DID SNOW up here for a brief period, unfortunately, the flakes were too small for dramatic pictures, but, I got some mountain thickets with runoff rivulets which I will put up tomorrow. Thickets are biologically rich, good places to see wildlife, plant life and geological features. They tend not to be popular to outdoor photographers and I think that’s a real oversight …
I came across this old photo while surfing around. Thought it was kinda cute.
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't remember anything bringing me more joy as a child than puppies. Off the charts kind of stuff. I just loved them.
All I could think was the kid will have a best friend to grow up with.
Morning ender..looks like damn tough times but bet that pup and little boy had a great childhood..hope so anyway..
Wonder where the lad is now?? Would be interesting to know and what happened in his life..
The man appears to be holding a kind of two-lens camera in his left hand, ready to take a shot of his son's face when he first sees the puppy.
Ojibwe kids in a cornfield on the Red Lake Reservation in 1938/39. No, that isn't me I'm not quite that old but I do know who the kids are.

Here's a visibility map from a Space.com article about it -- Beaver Moon lunar eclipse 2021: When, where and how to see it on Nov. 19
It should be visible to everyone here.
I don't know how successful I'll be, but if it isn't too cloudy (or cold) I'm going to try to shoot a time lapse of the whole thing. Also, the full moon rises on the horizon right around nightfall later on Friday. I'm going to try to get a time lapse of that, too.

That will cover all of the Americas and Most of Australia.
I will have to check it out.

Every bit as good as it ever was.

Thank you, Kavika, I'm very glad you like it.
Here is one to see us into Sunday....
I think the frame is appropriate for the image, but I would have reversed the top and bottom.
Thanks, Buzz. I originally had the frame reversed as you said, however, as the frame appears to be seeping from the frame, I thought it best to have it seeping out from the bottom under the warriors feet, rather than appearing to dripping down onto the Warrior from the top.
Also, the frame is 'busier' at the top than at the bottom, which allows for the Warrior to take a wider attack stance toward the bottom portion of the frame, which allows the Warrior to appear more formidable.
But, it depends on the artists' concept, and the viewers' thoughts, which way works best. (smile)
Allow me to explain how I see it. I don't see any bleeding from the bottom frame, and with the heaviness of the frame at the top I get the feeling it's top-heavy, kind of unnatural. Actually I see more seeping from the top left now than from the bottom.
Thank you for clarifying what you see in the framing, Buzz. That is the difference in how the artist (me) sees things in their artwork, and how the viewer (you) see things while looking at the same image.
You know that I appreciate your input and letting me know others see things differently than what I see. It is somewhat similar to a crowd standing in an art gallery and seeing the same image, yet, many will see something quite different than what the artist sees.

As hoped for; a THICKET, RIVULET, a few SNOW FLURRIES and lots of nice detail.

Really great photos, Mac. Lots of varied Fall colors and a bit of early winter snowflakes. The rivulet in each photo is a great way to start the transition from Fall to Winter.
Just beautiful
Thanks, A.Mac. You just showed me why they call it a THICKet. Just as Bilbo Baggins and I were never too old to go on a new adventure, we are also never too old to learn something.
The weekend is coming to a close, and this last one is for the Birds......
Perfect combination of burled frame and image - always happy to see it again.
Thank you, Buzz. Very glad you like it,
This has been one of our best articles … a thank you to all; I will keep this open until noon tomorrow give or take an hour or so.
Keep posting,
I would have gotten a few more pics brother, but mother nature is saving it's beauty for another day...
I was really happy, and I'm sure A.Mac was as well, to see you joining us and posting photos here.
