07.19 - I have no idea why but I'm captivating by the contrast of the city against wide open sky, a whole imposing order on chaos thing perhaps.

Cold Metal

Shot Of The Day: November 25, 2017

for Grandad Chet - an operating engineer who does more in retirment than most do on the job...Happy Birthday Dad

 

QOTD:

Cold metal, in the afternoon

Sounds lovely like a Hendrix tune

Cold metal, it's the father of beat

The mother of the street

Cold metal, it rolls on by

Cold metal, gonna raise it high

Cold metal, it'll even fly

Rust buckets in the sky

Cold metal, got to be

Skeleton of the free

-- Iggy Pop

 

Backstory: Bay Street seems very small and narrow but still the trucks come...cold metal...skeleton of the free...

Eighteen

Shot Of The Day: August 18, 2018

 

QOTD:

I got a baby's brain and an old man's heart

Took eighteen years to get this far

Don't always know what I'm talkin' about

Feels like I'm livin' in the middle of doubt

'Cause I'm Eighteen

I get confused every day

Eighteen

I just don't know what to say

Eighteen

I gotta get away

-- Alice Cooper

 

Backstory: Vince Furnier (aka Alice Cooper) tapped into something with this song. On my 18th birthday I rolled out of bed and played this classic song - loud. I did the same today. (Only now with headphones on so I don't wake my wife ;-)

 

Locale: Forty-Two Years Later

 

Equipment: Nikon D5500 / Sigma 18~200mm f3.5-6.3 DC

Latin name

Ardea cinerea

 

Family

Bitterns and herons (Ardeidae)

 

Where to see them

Around any kind of water – garden ponds, lakes, rivers and even on estuaries. Sometimes, grey herons circle high up into the sky and can be mistaken for large birds of prey.

 

When to see them

At any time of year – our grey herons do not migrate.

 

What they eat

Lots of fish, but also small birds such as ducklings, small mammals like voles, and amphibians. After harvesting, grey herons can sometimes be seen in fields, looking for rodents.
