Fury 325 at Carowinds is the best #rollercoaster that exists. Here’s it climbing its lift hill at night.
Roller coaster train climbing lift hill at night. The track is illuminated with green lighting and the supports can be seen in the background with some red/orange lighting. The sky is dark.

I enjoy taking photos of things: nature, cars, buildings, landscapes, and especially #rollercoasters. I continue to learn and try to improve my skills, while also sticking to my belief that photos should look natural and reflect what my eyes see.

I was starting to think that there wasn’t gonna be Las Calaveras El 2025 #cigar, but then I saw it at Cigars International when I was in San Antonio. Let’s see how it compares to prior years.
A hand holds a "Las Calaveras El 2025" Esteli Nicaraguan cigar, featuring a green and gold label. The cigar is positioned in front of a laptop screen displaying a dashboard. The wrapper is smooth with visible veins, and the foot is neatly wrapped.

Tried out Live Translation on the announcements at the San Antonio airport. I got a good chuckle.

The original RMC Raptor #rollercoaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
The red train of a roller coaster descends a dive loop set against the backdrop of the yellow track, red supports, and nearly clear blue sky. In the background, another amusement park ride’s yellow structure with orange and red flames is visible, complementing the roller coaster nicely.

It just keeps expanding. I feel like @dub.bz should let me expense all this as “training” for work stuff.

And the 1x version. The 1x camera is still way better than the others, but I’m satisfied with this year’s telephoto over the last few years. Can’t wait to take some #rollercoaster pics with it this weekend.

Hi, Chicago 👋🏾
Chicago's skyline features a dense cluster of skyscrapers along Lake Michigan's shoreline. Notable buildings include the Willis Tower and John Hancock Center. The cityscape is bordered by green spaces like Grant Park and Navy Pier, with a vibrant urban layout extending into the vast surrounding area. The lake provides a scenic backdrop, enhancing the city's dynamic and architectural appeal.

0.5x to 40x (digital zoom) of my tattoo wall-art, also taken on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The image shows a room with red walls featuring framed video game art, including Mario characters. A floor lamp with a beige shade provides lighting. A zoom effect highlights the artwork details. The bottom section displays a close-up of a Mario character illustration, emphasizing vibrant colors and dynamic design.

0.5x vs 8x on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
An urban street scene with a red car parked near a construction site. Orange traffic cones and red tape mark off the area, surrounded by a chain-link fence. Stone buildings flank the street, and a modern streetlight stands prominently. The sky is overcast, adding a muted tone to the cityscape. Zoomed in view of the top of the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh, a tall building with gothic design language.

A serene lakeside scene features stacked canoes by the water's edge, surrounded by lush greenery and tall reeds. A few parked cars are visible near a small wooden building. A heron stands quietly in the shallow water, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting gentle reflections on the lake.

Was time for a change from the Blackwing.
A beige Toyota SUV with off-road modifications, including a lift kit, rugged tires, and a roof rack, is parked in a garage. The vehicle features a prominent front grille and red brake calipers. Nearby, there are stacks of boxes and pallets, suggesting a storage or warehouse setting. The space is well-lit with industrial elements like exposed ductwork and concrete pillars.

I was volunteering today and one of our tasks was assembling lunches for community centers.

I said to one of my coworkers: “welp, it’s obvious which bags the autistic guy did”.

I also neatly folded the napkins when I was putting them in the bags and was told “it’s just kids - stuff em in there”.
Brown paper bags filled with food items are neatly arranged on a wooden table. In the background, there are boxes of cereal and other supplies, suggesting a setting like a food pantry or community center. The bags appear to be prepared for distribution, possibly as part of a meal assistance program.

Was wondering if Blue Sky had a coaster community. Apparently it does. Might start sharing more pics of and thoughts about #rollercoasters and #themeparks here since Instagram’s algorithm only cares about the “like and subscribe” crowd. I just like riding and taking pics.
A roller coaster with green tracks and blue supports loops upside down against a clear blue sky. Riders are seated in rows, with many raising their hands in excitement. The structure is robust, with visible supports and tracks, creating a thrilling and dynamic scene. A vibrant amusement park ride features riders suspended beneath a twisting, elevated track. The ride's cars are designed with bright blue and yellow colors, resembling birds or creatures. Set against a lush, green backdrop of trees, the ride creates a thrilling, dynamic scene as it curves and tilts, offering an exhilarating experience for passengers amidst the natural surroundings. Barely-visible roller coaster entering a loop in the background with a rock structure and trees in the foreground. A rider at the front of the train has their arms in the air as they feel the airtime generated by the element.

Apparently, when departing on an 80 mile motorcycle ride, it’s a good idea to look at the rain forecast at the destination, not just at home.

Whoops. At least interstate speeds dried me off halfway back home 😂
A blue motorcycle is parked in a lot, facing away, with a visible license plate. Behind it are two black side-by-side utility vehicles, positioned side by side. The parking area is marked with white lines, and there's a concrete barrier nearby. It is raining.

A LEGO set featuring a character in a red kart with a "M" logo, driving alongside a blue shell with spikes. The character has a mustache, red cap, and blue overalls. The kart is detailed with red, white, and blue bricks, while the shell is primarily blue with white spikes. The set is displayed on a wooden shelf against a red wall. This is a playful and colorful representation of a popular racing theme.

Seriously.
A group of people are riding a roller coaster, experiencing a thrilling moment as they ascend a steep track. The coaster is designed to resemble a snake, with its head prominently featured at the front. The riders are expressing excitement and joy, with their arms raised in the air. The sky is clear and blue, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene.
