The "Man with a Horn" cover was particularly audacious, considering the placement of the trumpet and the fact that "having a horn" used to be UK slang for having an erection...that's why the English changed the title of the American film "Young Man with a Horn" to "A Young Man of Music"

I, TonyGuitar, owned an album in the 70s that I am looking for the name of, band name? and the song name for music that is train related.
[Southern fried rock]
Very strident guitar sound.
The song begins in slow time and gradually builds up speed to a quick train tempo and ends with a high guitar tain sound and steam release.
The Album Cover is mostly green lily pond with a frog in the foreground.
Do you know this Artist, Album or song?

Very nice selection of cool and unusual covers! I've used a few of them in my fine art photos to provide background context for my equally strange and unusual narrative images.
I also have my entire collection of 400 or so vintage covers on my web site, so browse on over for a look.

About the "mystery tool"
Take a shovel with a "D" handle, cut off the blade, lean the stick against the wall.
Place an ax on the floor with the butt of the blade against the stick.
Shift the ax-handle to get the proper "look"
There you have it, folks

The "Mystery" tool is a Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) removing tool used to scrape the glued down tiles from a floor, usually concrete. The axe handle, that could be to hit the handle of the scraper to get it under tiles.... I usually use a dead blow hammer.

In Milwaukee there is this big bridge over the harbor that went nowhere for years and years (at least 15 years of my life). They finally added an extension (which was really well done). Not long after, a section of the bridge collapsed during morning rush hour.
This year marks the completion of the final end to the highway. They are now rebuilding the exchange at the other end now.

Just last week, here in Belgium, I read in the newspaper about a family that assumed they would be allowed to move a lamppost near their uncompleted house. They weren't allowed... Now there is one tile of the roof missing, and the lamppost is sticking out. They even build the drain around the lamppost.

That tool is extremely versatile, we welded an axe head on about a 30 degree angle to a shovel handle and voila "the foot" is born, peels asphalt shingle down easily, can even pull up the plywood and shingle if you cut it in sections. The uses are endless, I like the idea of using it for tearing up tiles.

The photos of African dust storms and dust being blown out into the Atlantic and over Spain are quite normal, where I live in Ireland, I sometimes go out to my car in the morning and find a film of very fine red Saharan sand covering it.

Nice pics....The series of Astana are fog, not dust. The tint right around sunrise is most likely due to particulates (dust or smoke) but the low cloud is fog, which can be seen moving and dissipating in the third photo.

the jet in front of the house is probably not parking ..
it is a swedish Gripen - and those jets are designed to operate from simple streets in the woods and elsewere ... that way no evil enemy can bomb the airbases - or at least he will not gain much from it ..

The plastic crate shot is not 'shopped. Some may look squashed but its because they're either deformed by the position/weight or just short in height. I doubt most any of these are photoshopped, this kind of thing is common all over the world.

the "box-car" seems to be shopped. at least the shadow of the car on the right side of it doesnt show any crates.
the fact that the shadow only shows the part infront of the trunk does keep the possibility that all the baskets are actually in and above the trunk without support of any other parts of the car.
but its still a good photomontage. =)

The jet in front of a house is indeed a Swedish Saab Gripen. And it's true they can operate from simple streets in the woods and elsewhere. But this picture, I think, is actually from within the fence of the Swedish Air Force base in Såtenäs, F7 (Flotilla number 7). A number of the staff lives inside the base, very near the taxiways. And the base is very picturesque. I've been there a couple of times, and as far as I can remember, this is what it looks like. They actually taxy from the bomb-proof shelters out to the runway through scenery like this.

Love the pictures of the various types. I wonder how poisonous the translucent ones are.
Lichens and moss are indeed beautiful. It would take me about 18 years to hike the Appalachian Trail, because I'd stop every few feet and gawk at these tiny beauties, not to mention ferns, mushrooms, rock tripes, etc etc. Big nature is breathtaking, but small nature is just a wonderful.
Thank you, Anonymous - this is so true.
