Found the perfect spot and time of day to take a picture of this humongous water tower in its entirety.
A perfectly clear blue sky in the background provides great contrast to the light blue tower.

Konami just put out a HD collection for one of my favorite games ever, Felix the Cat, for Switch and PlayStation (it's among several for a blog post I almost have done on video games I'm obsessed with).
The new collection includes both the NES and Game Boy versions & allows for saving and rewinding at any time (maybe I'll finally beat it! 🤣)
This'll eventually be a must-grab for me, but I gotta wait for a sale on this one.

One of my favorite comps. On Rhino Records, so of course it’s rad! 🤩
I picked this up in the summer of 1984 when I started buying my own records and noticed that it had a really cool song I had just heard but didn’t know the band. “Helium Bar” by The Weirdos!
I figured if The Runaways and Quiet Riot were on a comp with The Weirdos, I’d probably like the rest of the bands. And I did!

Good morning and happy Sunday to all of you here in the #Fediverse today!
Let's talk about our plans for the day to round out the weekend.
I'm not sure I have anything planned other than to just rest and relax.
The wife and I have two TV shows with one episode each to catch up on and then we'll be totally caught up until new episodes air tonight.

Hi friends,
one more photo from our walk on wednesday. This one I was able to capture right when I turned around.
We just came down the path on the photo when I turned around and said to my wife "ohhh wait, think that could be a motive".
And so I started to try a couple of perspectives. I struggled with the path because I feared that it would lead the viewer too quickly out of the image.
I hadn't realised John Curtice had had a blue rinse whilst rinsing the Tories.

So... Yesterday I went out with the intention of buying a record player. I came home with one and 4 records to start my meager collection. I just set it up and it sounds great (although I have very little to go on). The first record I had to buy and therefore play was, of course Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis.
Once I get my own place set up, I'll be able to enjoy this and Jazz Geek out.

Hey friends, here's one more from our 1st-may-walk. I really like the perspective. Maybe I'll even print it.
But.. I'd love to see the spot in really great light, like mornings or late in the day.
But the photo is as it is and I hope you enjoy the view with me.

Hi all! Yesterday we did a nice walk around a nearby village. I wanted to practice using foreground. As expected: not too easy!
How low do I have to go, which aperture, are there enough flowers, are they distributed "well" enough.
Is there a midground that contributes positively?
Well. It was a nice opportunity to practice! And this is the result..

Odysseys update:
"Intuitive Machines has determined that the lander came down to the surface and likely skidded. This force caused one of its six landing legs to snap. Then, for a couple of seconds, the lander stood upright before toppling over due to the failed leg.
The company has an incredible photo of this moment showing the lander upright, with the snapped leg and the engine still firing. Altemus plans to publicly release this photo Wednesday."
