Guy next to me in a restaurant.
I asked him how it felt to be number 1.
He said he'd been number 1 his whole life.
I felt this was probably true.

Fuchsia magellanica, commonly known as the Hummingbird fuchsia or Hardy fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant native to South America, from the temperate southern regions of Argentina and Chile to the Straits of Magellan, in general growing near the waterways.
In the southern part of Chile (Western Patagonia) it grows at the edge of the woods.
This sub-shrub can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) in height and width in frost-free climates, and 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) where is colder. The plant blossoms profusely over a long period with many small and tubular pendent flowers, in brilliant shades of red and purple, softer shades of pink and lavender, and some in white.
It is naturalized in the United Kingdom and Bolivia, regions where it was introduced for gardening. It arrived in England in the late 18th century. According to tradition, the English gardener James Lee discovered it on the windowsill of a seaman's house and bought it for a considerable sum. As early as 1793 Lee is said to have sold a large number of pieces that he had pulled from this one copy.
In Australia, the species is recorded as naturalised in the states of Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
The species is widely used in gardening, as an ornamental plant, due to the color and shape of its flowers. Many of the existing cultivars of Fuchsia are hybrids of this species with another of the genus, generally originating in warmer climates, since their main use as a source of hybridization is due to their resistance to cold.
It is grown in temperate and subtropical gardens, or in containers on patios, balconies, and indoors, but prefers a sunny position.
The plants are quite cold-hardy compared to other species from more tropical climates, and only die in hard frosts.
The profuse pendent flowers are a nectar source attractive to hummingbirds.
This Fuchsia is one of the species hybridized in obtaining "Brinco-de-princesa" (Princess earring), the name by what is known in Brazil.

In certain sense we can say that Fuchsia magellanica can be the mother of many species of fuchsias.

PREFACE
"SHADHINOTA is My Cause for the 40th Celebration of BANGLADESH Independence. The land, the mighty rivers and the natural beauty makes Bangladesh a land of unparalleled splendor and magnificence. Bangladesh was liberated after a prolonged war of Independence the declaration of which was given on 26th MARCH 1971. One of the worst genocides Genocide in history took place at the behest of an autocratic regime in the name of Political stability spearheaded by the then Pakistan President Yahya Khan. After 9 months of Liberation war and the sacrifice of 3 million lives Victory came. In addition to the loss of lives countless others were rendered homeless, the infrastructure including roads and bridges and factories lay in ruins. The people of Bangladesh have shown time and again how resilient they are. After each and every disaster, natural or man-made the people have again stood up and started all over again from scratch.
My Effort here is to pay tribute to the valiant sons of the soil and the ‘die hard’ attitude of a people who can still smile in the face of adversity however great it may be. I plan to make a collage of images that represent the lives of the people of Bangladesh. I encourage you to upload a photo each day till I have a total of 40 images for the Cause SHADHINOTA in the group Frame BANGLADESH"
To be Continued till 26th March 2011

Feuerwerk bei der Pyronale 2013 im Berlin. Das Feuerwerk fand zwischen dem Glockenturm und dem Olympiastadion auf dem Maifeld statt. Ich stand auf dem Olympischen Platz.
Last night was wonderfully clear, so I took the opportunity for a couple of shots of Jupiter as I had read somewhere that it is at its closest to Earth for around 59 years. I took two shots - one to expose it as a very bright disc that also shows the four larger moons, and the other to show some surface detail which I just managed to pick up in the form of a few cloud bands.
Not exciting shots, but I am a bit of a space nerd at heart, so I couldn't miss the opportunity.
Handheld shots taken almost straight up as Jupiter was almost overhead near midnight. Both shots are heavily cropped right down to around 5mp.
