A rare bird for Florida. Franklin's Gulls are very similar to Laughing Gulls. They are slightly smaller, with a smaller bill, larger white eye arcs and a darker, more extensive hood in winter.
Some friends and I spent several hours picking through a couple thousand Laughing Gulls at a few different locations in the Daytona Beach area one day this fall. We finally found what we were looking for right before sunset. This is a first cycle (first winter) bird as shown by the brown feathers in the wing.

Per te che curi questo amore
come fosse un fiore delicato
e ci metti tutto,
tutto ciò che riesci a dare,
e comprendi un mondo
che i miei occhi
sanno appena immaginare...

Les Anneaux de Buren (nommés aussi Les Anneaux) sont une œuvre de Daniel Buren et Patrick Bouchain située sur le Quai des Antilles à Nantes (sur l'île de Nantes).
Le long de la Loire et du hangar à bananes, l'œuvre est composée de 18 anneaux de 4 mètres de diamètre et de couleur argent, fixés à la rambarde du quai, situés à égale distance, les uns derrière les autres. La nuit, les anneaux s'éclairent, alternant rouges, verts et bleus.
Les Anneaux ont été créés pour laisser place à l'interprétation du visiteur. Néanmoins Daniel Buren a souhaité inscrire son œuvre dans l'histoire de la ville et sa géographie. Ainsi, les cercles formés font référence aux anneaux qui enserraient et emprisonnaient les esclaves, en référence au commerce triangulaire dont Nantes a été la plaque tournante au XVIIIe siècle.
De même, ils évoquent des anneaux de mariage unissant le fleuve, la mer et la terre sur un espace à la croisée des éléments.
Les anneaux sont installés sur d'anciens bollards dont l'artiste a respecté le nombre, le rythme et la disposition. L'œuvre a été imaginée de manière à ce que sa vision nocturne soit totalement différente de sa vision diurne : en journée, les anneaux constitués d'acier galvanisé invitent le regard du visiteur à balayer tout le paysage environnant, tandis que la nuit des éclairages aux leds proposent des jeux colorés et lumineux dominants qui s’entrelacent et se fondent les uns dans les autres.

Buren's Rings (also called The Rings) is a work of Daniel Buren and Patrick Bouchain located on the Quai des Antilles in Nantes (island of Nantes).
Along the Loire and the bananas shed, the work consists of 18 rings, 4 meters diameter, silver colored, attached to the railing of the pier, located at equal distance, one behind the other. At night, the rings are illuminated red, green and blue alternating.
The Rings were created to allow interpretation for the visitor. Nevertheless Daniel Buren wanted to include his work in the history of the city and its geography. Thus, circles refer to the rings which enclosed and imprisoned slaves, with reference to the triangular trade. Nantes was the hub of this eighteenth century trade.
Similarly, they evoke wedding rings uniting the river, sea and land on a space at the intersection of the elements.
The rings are installed on old bollards which the artist has met the number, timing and layout. The work was conceived so that his night vision is completely different from its daytime vision. During the day, the rings made of galvanized steel invite the visitor's eye to sweep all the surrounding landscape, while the night lights LEDs offer the dominant bright, colorful games that intertwine and merge into each other.

One Angel Square
One Angel Square[1] is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.
One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.
The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship.[16] Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%. It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.

"... Tenho um cuiudo picaço,
peito e anca que é um colosso,
que já me deu muito gosto
mandando corda em rodeio,
- quando eu abria pra fora
num armadão encopado
e acomodava o chumbado
lustrando a capa do olho ..."

The Tower of Hercules is the only Roman lighthouse which, since its origins up to the present, has been performing its original function: being an aid to navigation for ships crossing the Atlantic corridor. This peculiarity makes it an outstanding exponent which bears a unique testimony to the numerous lighthouses erected by civilisations of the past by the sea and which have unfortunately been lost to time, while the Tower of Hercules remains faithful to its mission of guiding the seamen who come face to face with the immensity of the ocean on a daily basis.
The lighthouse was most likely built in the second half of the 1st century or the early years of the 2nd century A.D. by the Romans at finis terrae (Latin for ‘end of the world’) of the world known, namely, north-western Hispania, at the mouth of the great Gulf of Artabro, which encompasses the rias of El Burgo, Ares and Ferrol (A Coruña, Spain) to guide the ships sailing along the most western coast of the Empire. The location chosen to build it was a rocky hillock, known as Punta Eiras, some 57 metres high, which is between Punta Herminia and Punta del Orzán, thus dominating the northern end of the peninsula on which the city of A Coruña itself rises.
This unique construction has a rectangular plan, each side of it measuring approximately 11.75 metres and a total height of 55 metres, of which 34.38 m correspond to the Roman building and 21 to the restoration made in 1789 to modernize the aid to navigation system. Nowadays, the Tower rises on a wide polygonal platform 32.40 metres wide, which is its base. This platform was built in early 19th century. On the outside, the monument has a prismatic structure topped by an octagonal towered section with triangular reinforcement at the corners, thus softening the square plan. This first towered section is followed by another, shorter one which is the base of the lantern where the powerful beacon that lights intrepid seamen is.

La Torre de Hércules es el único faro romano que desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad ha cumplido con su función primigenia: la de servir de señal marítima e instrumento de navegación para las embarcaciones que en su singladura atraviesan el corredor atlántico. Esta particularidad lo convierte en un ejemplo excepcional como testimonio único de los numerosos faros que las civilizaciones del pasado construyeron a orillas del mar y que, desgraciadamente, se han perdido en el devenir de la historia, mientras que la Torre de Hércules continua cumpliendo con la misión de orientar y dirigir a los hombres del mar que se enfrentan diariamente con la inmensidad del océano.
El faro fue construido con toda probabilidad en la segunda mitad del siglo I o en los primeros años del siglo II d. C. por el Imperio romano en el finis terrae del mundo conocido, es decir, en el noroeste de Hispania, en la entrada del gran Golfo Ártabro que comprende las rías del Burgo, Ares y Ferrol (A Coruña. España), para acompañar a los barcos que bordeaban el extremo más occidental del Imperio. El lugar elegido para su emplazamiento fue una loma rocosa, denominada Punta Eiras, de casi 57 metros de altura, que se encuentra entre Punta Herminia y Punta del Orzán, dominando el extremo septentrional de la península en la que se asienta la propia ciudad de A Coruña.
Esta singular construcción es de planta cuadrangular de aproximadamente 11,75 m de lado y presenta una altura total de 55 m, de los cuales 34,38 m corresponden a la fábrica romana y 21 m a la restauración realizada en 1789 para modernizar el sistema de señalización marítima. En la actualidad la Torre se levanta sobre una amplia plataforma poligonal de 32,40 m de ancho, que le sirve de base y que fue construida a principios del siglo XIX. Exteriormente, el monumento presenta una estructura prismática sobre la que se dispone un remate torreado octogonal con refuerzos de sección triangular en las esquinas, que suaviza el arranque de la base cuadrada. A este primer cuerpo torreado le sucede otro, decreciente en altura, que sirve de base a la linterna en la que se encuentra la potente lámpara que ilumina con su luz a los intrépidos navegantes.
I didn’t know why I was getting a creepy kind of feeling when I walked through this section of the woods. But now that I’ve seen this image on my computer, I understand why! ;-) (The reason is easier to see when the image is viewed large.)

Octubre es el mes dedicado al cáncer de seno, por eso un gran número de empresas y personas se han unido para luchar de distintas formas y crear conciencia sobre esta agresiva enfermedad..
El Mes de Sensibilización sobre el Cáncer de Mama, que se celebra en todo el mundo cada mes de octubre, contribuye a aumentar la atención y el apoyo prestados a la sensibilización, la detección precoz, el tratamiento y los cuidados paliativos.
La prevención del cáncer mamario se basa en un diagnóstico temprano que permita efectuar un tratamiento adecuado en el momento inicial de la enfermedad. Los dos aliados son el auto-exámen de mamas y el control ginecológico sistemático
Haven't been around these parts much lately, but managed a couple of images in the meantime.
This is another collaboration between myself and Dave Williams, who provided the Ha used as luminance. My first mosaic, it consists of three frames (well, two and a tiny little strip in between really) processed using photomerge in Photoshop, which I was impressed with. Several sessions between July and September 2013
Meaningless stats follow:
RGB:
SW ED80/EQ5
Canon 500D modded, Baader Neodymium filter
All three frames: 246 subs totalling 13 hours 28 minutes
Acquisition: APT
Guiding: Quickcam Pro4000/9x50 finderscope, PHD
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS5, using photomerge for the stitching together

Esta semana otra vertical, parece que últimamente me encuentro a gusto con este formato, dicen que es más complicado distribuir elementos de esta manera , pero en mi opinión si son pocos y jugando con un primer plano y un fondo interesante se pueden conseguir perspectivas con una eficaz sensación de profundidad y además se consigue siempre centrar mucho más la atención sobre lo verdaderamente interesante de la escena. No escogí el formato yo, más bien creo que el formato últimamente me escoge a mí y luego me busco la vida para hacer lo que puedo con lo que tengo delante de la cámara...no se ,divagaciones mias.....
-Técnica: Para la escena de hoy ND 64 de B&W ,más inverso de dos pasos de Hi Tech mas Black Card, ésta la utilizé poniéndola perpendicular al eje del horizonte ( para estas ocasiones tengo una estrechita de unos 2 cm) intentando reservar el cielo sin tapar en exceso los farallones.Con este tipo de escenas en las que las nubes blancas reciben la luz cálida del atardecer hay que tener cuidado con la exposición, pues la representación del histograma en la pantalla de la cámara (un jpg que realiza la propia cámara), puede aparecer dentro de gráfica pero realmente cuando abres la imagen en el procesador de RAWs, en mi caso DPP, los rojos, si hacemos una selección por canales, suelen estar quemados en las luces altas, es por esto que mi recomendación es que intenteis tender a subexponer al menos un paso, ya que después será más fácil recuperar zonas algo oscuras en edición que salvar luces quemadas.
Los datos exif los podreis encontrar en la WEB.
-COMPOSICIÓN: La compo resultó fácil en un principio, buscaba una triangulación de elementos entre las roquitas del primer plano y los farallones, tras la primera toma mi sorpresa fue descubrir que las trasparencias del agua dejaban entrever algunas formas del fondo bastante interesantes, sólo tuve que reencuadrar y controlar la exposición.Las nubes en el cielo me echaron una mano aderezando el fondo.
-Edición: En el DPP de Canon ,balance de blancos, por canales bajar un punto la exposición de los rojos,curvas.En PS contraste por zonas.
this is my hood ;-P

happy sliders sunday and have a great upcoming week everyone!

My dear contacts!
I'm not able to comment on your art at the moment, and I'm not expecting you to do otherwise :))
Hope we'll continue to see each other in the autumn!!! :)))
Wish you all a wonderful summer time!
The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.
This was shot over 3 or 4 nights during June-July. I only decided to make a mosaic after shooting the Lagoon and Trifid nebs and thinking it would be pretty awesome to show the whole area off as there is so much going on! Unfortunately, with the spur of the moment decision to take this on, i was left with no time to complete it before the Milky Way sank out of reach. I intended to make this a 15 panel mosaic but only managed 4! But i will be better prepared next year :)
This was a hard one to process. Its my first long exposure astro mosaic so i struggled with trying to make everything blend together seamlessly. Each panel being shot on a different night at different temperatures didn't help either. Especially one panel which i only managed 45 minutes on due to cloud ruining a lot of the frames. I had to stretch it first and then bring the rest of them up to the same point. If i had managed the same amount of exposure time on each one, i could of probably stretched a bit further!
Exposure Details:
3 panels contains 1 hour 20 minutes worth of 120 second exposures, the other 44 minutes worth, f3.2, ISO 800, calibration frames, 200mm
