Not the best photo of the Auroras (below). Solar activity has been low for the last two or three years, so I haven't been "out there" very much.
Got a tip for us?

I’ve taken that very same shot. Trying not to fall off the sea wall.

Emergence #6 - Being Social (I think I'll make this the last in this series). So who fancies a history lesson?

The run down old shop is possibly Manchester's oldest continuously operating business and the actual safe company has been in the hands of the Solomon family since the 18th century:

The second black and white photo in that article is pretty remarkable - shows just how little the shop and building has changed.

Building Secrets: Withy Grove Stores
Okay so this is a bit of a weird and mysterious one now and something that anyone who has lived in Manchester for a while will be a little perplexed about - it's the Withy Grove Stores round the back of The Printworks.

Staying with fall colours and still close to home, that same orange aspen tree.

And I had to go further over than I wanted to, using the bow mast to hide the crew member eating his lunch.
Agreed and thank you. Pawnee Grasslands are both beautiful and creepy. You think they’re mostly empty until you go out at night. Lots of oil rigs, tons of people working on them with a lot of bright lights, big trucks and noisy machinery. And of course wind farms.
I have been building the LEGO Liebherr R 9800 Excavator Technic 42100 trying to avoid U.S. Politics and Facebook.

Here's a photo of the Rochdale Canal, taken last month. Quite unusual, for an exposure from my X100F, this was processed from raw, in Lightroom, using Lightroom's Enhance Details.

A pair of Florida Snapping turtles. They are very large compared to the more common turtles around.
Bombus pensylvanicus - American Bumble Bee
Conservation Status: vulnerable (G3G4) (NatureServe)
Vulnerable. Until about the late 1990s this was probably the most common bumblebee in the eastern and central United States, and it was often called "The American Bumblebee". It is now very rare or extirpated in the northeastern potion of the range west to about Illinois. New York and Vermont both rank it S1 as of mid 2014 but there have been none observed in several years. Even where it still occurs, such as in Arkansas (Warriner, 2011) and Illinois (Grixti et al., 2008), it is generally no longer the most common bumble bee, but it is not necessarily rare. Even more than for most declining bumblebees, the status, current trend, severity of threats, and prognosis for B. pensylvanicus are very unclear.
The use of pesticides and herbicides are contributed to the decline of this and many other species. i.e. Roundup, 2-4-D, etc. A majority of the "chemicals" that are sprayed on lawns and residential areas contain poisons that are deadly to these bees and 1,000's of other living organisms (including humans, a living organism)...killing the worlds natural ecosystem for the vanity of "looking good"

My photos of Tarpon Springs were ancient and needed to update for a project. Part of a 3 stop daytrip, and went with the idea of the sponge closeup two days ago, updated the classic yesterday, but think I like this one better.
Something from the archives...

A very smokey hazy sunrise over the eastern Pawnee grasslands.
