gvallee Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 I uploaded more birds today. Out of curiosity, I checked my stats. In total, I've licensed 232 bird pictures at Alamy. That's why I stick to it even if it's not a prime wanted subject. Now if I were to find a bird with a mask... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I say 'used to be' Not us at Lee Point, we're in Batchelor. Back to Darwin on Tuesday for a new shock absorber. Must have been one bulldust hole too many... You would recognise us from the sticker at the front 'home is where we park it'. And the roos and emus decals on the sides.

MizBrown Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Some older ones that I just uploaded: A male Blue-tipped Dancer (Argia tibialis) on a dock overlooking a pond in Eakins Park, Fairfax County, Virginia. Female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus) feeding on Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) in Shenandoah National Park. Winter at the Rocky Knob Visitor Center, Blue Ridge Parkway milepost 167, also near Mabry Mill and the towns of Floyd and Woolwine. Couple of good hiking trails start here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbimages Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Always like to find this tiny shrimps (maximum size 15mm) but they are so hard to shoot. They live underneath sea stars, so when I turn the sea star over to search for them, they quickly scurry to the top....which is now the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) The COVID-19 blues has set in, so I've been experimenting with converting some older images to black and white. Here's one I like of the parish church in the old Mexican mining town of Mineral de Pozos. I guess you could call this activity a travel replacement.

Michael Ventura Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Shot these interiors recently for a magazine. They are interiors of a newly renovated library in downtown Washington DC. It has not reopened yet so no people in pics. Reading and research area. Kids area for reading. Spiral staircase. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Awww the MLK Library by Mies and now by Mecanoo. Did they build that thing on the roof? It was a much un-loved building back then. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around 100 F out, when I was there, so I made some quick shots of the rooftop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 With official VJ Day anniversary events cancelled I took a punt on a visit to our local cenotaph, to find a family carrying out their own 11am minute's silence. I only shot a couple before standing silently. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TABan Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) On August 10 a powerful derecho blasted through Iowa and Illinois. It was most severe in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area and was equivalent to a category 2 hurricane. It’s not getting much attention from the national media and may be unknown outside the US. I drove the 300 or so km from Chicago on Tuesday. Here are a few images. Edit: Here's what Wiley Plaza looked like before the storm. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2125-2129-Wiley-Blvd-Cedar-Rapids-IA/16476284/ Edit 2: It now is estimated some areas of Cedar Rapids experienced winds of 140mph/233kph, making the storm equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.
