This year I plucked up the courage to enter the British Wildlife Photography Awards for the first time and this image made it as far as the shortlist and will be in the BWPA Collection book. There's an award ceremony during the inaugural Wildlife Expo in October which I'd like to attend, but it might be a bit difficult getting time off work (one of the drawbacks of living in the sticks when things are going on in London).
I would like to direct you to The Black Rabbit's "Tabby Cat with Blackbird Nestling", a powerful image which received a well-deserved Highly Commended.

Our little visitor, Miss Panda, rolled her eyes at me and said in a sassy way........
"How do you expect me to ride this thing with such long sleeves?"
Well after taking such an adorable photo, we fixed the problem & off she went. She had a great day of riding. We are sooooo loving her here!

I took this today evening, Jan.11th :-)
Saurons fortress in the land of Mordor - into this tower he poured all his cruel, his malice!
The tower is 1.75m tall and on the base 1.10 wide and the model consists of ca. 50.000+ parts (I actually didn't count them)...
This model was built as part for VirtuaLUGs Lord of the Rings collaboration for Brickworld 2011. I'm happy, that we won the award for "Best Group Display" & that in particular Barad-dûr won, together with the Cuckoo clock, the "Judges Award" (a double win was thus far a precedent).

Of all difficulties which impede the progress of thought, and the formation of well-grounded opinions on life and social arrangements, the greatest is now the unspeakable ignorance and inattention of mankind - in respect to the influences which form human character.
Whatever any portion of the human species now are, or seem to be, such, it is supposed, they have a natural tendency to be: when the most elementary knowledge of the circumstances in which they have been placed, clearly points out the causes that made them what they are.
- John Stuart Mill, The Subjection of Women ( 1869 )

Hello Friends,
We are proud to share with you the last collection we did for Nike
We came up with a bunch of vintage logos for this serie, inspired by vintage american sports and college icons.
all the fonts, logos and characters were Handmade, then clean up under illustrator.
you can see some more here:
Thajok is a Hmong village in the east of Laos close to the Ho Chi Minh trail where there was heavy bombing by the Americans in the early 1960s.
The Hmong are an Asian ethnic group from the mountainous regions of China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Hmong are also one of the sub-groups of the Miao ethnicity in southern China. Hmong groups began a gradual southward migration in the 18th century due to political unrest and to find more arable land.
A number of Hmong people fought against the communist-nationalist Pathet Lao during the Laotian Civil War. Hmong people were singled out for retribution when the Pathet Lao took over the Laotian government in 1975, and tens of thousands fled to Thailand seeking political asylum. Thousands of these refugees have resettled in Western countries since the late 1970s, mostly the United States but also Australia, France, French Guiana, and Canada. Others have been returned to Laos under United Nations-sponsored repatriation programs.
" Reflections Of My New Year 2011 "
Welcoming in a New Year presents an opportunity to all of us to reflect
On our lives and to contemplate making certain changes.
In our fervent quest for happiness and personal satisfaction, we may
Find that we have more choices than we fully realized...
Every new year, I make new year's resolution-only to break them.
This year no resolution, only some guidelines.
I rise and shine, and Welcome to the New Year!
This is a chance for a new beginning, the day I discard destructive
Old habits for healthful new ones.
I will live through each day to the very fullest.
I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow.
I will not set far reaching goals or try to overcome all problems at once.
I know I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me, if
I had to keep it up for a lifetime...
I will live 'happy' each day.
I will not dwell on thought that depress me.
I will fill my mind with sunshine and chase that cloud away that fills it.
I will face and accept reality.
I will correct those things I can correct and accept those I cannot.
I will improve my mind and way of thinking.
I will make a conscious effort to be more agreeable and to listen more.
I will do something positive to improve my health.
If I'm overweight, I will eat healthily.
Finally, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take
Responsibility for my own actions.
I will 'Welcome' the world and all the good things it offers.
I will 'live' to 'live'...

Please 'Bear With Me' I haven't been 'Flickring' in a while but I'll do the best I can to

Anch'io vorrei far parte di qualcosa di importante!
Anche a me piacerebbe esultare e festeggiare, mi verrebbe quasi voglia di scrivere 'Egitto!' sulla parete bianca e spoglia del soggiorno.
Allah, Dio, Manitù, sapeste quanto forte sarebbe il mio desiderio di essere davvero partecipe di qualche qualsivoglia cosa che abbia una qualche qualsivoglia importanza. Purchè ce l'abbia davvero!
Ecco, io incantato sulla rete a sbirciare immagini e video di qualcosa che mi trasmette entusiasmo e invidia insieme [ma quanti cazzo sono in quella piazza???].
Bello. Forse si.
Conoscevo un po' di storia, anche recente.
Ultimamente ho approfondito anche un po', così per curiosità.
Pensavo che in fin dei conti a me come persona non cambia molto ciò che è successo, nel senso che non so spiegarmi esattamente i motivi per cui mi sento vagamente allegro quest'oggi, nulla di tangibile nella mia vita quotidiana, vero.
Forse quel senso di speranza alimentata.
Alimentata da altri ed altrove, tuttavia significa che è possibile davvero.
[aspettando qualcosa o qualcuno e che non sia Godot]

All the best for 2012!!!

Taken at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. It rained almost all afternoon yesterday but I got about 5 minutes of sun to capture this shot (and then the skies opened up and it poured again).
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 30 in 2011). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates men and women who died while in military service to the United States. First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. (source: Wikipedia)
No matter where you are in the world, take a moment this weekend to say a silent "thank you" and prayer for all the men and women in service, who sacrifice so much for their country. Too many have ended up paying the ultimate price. Is it a dream to wish for peace and no more war? I would love to see that in my lifetime but I'm not sure...

L'economia di taranto principalmente basata sulla coltivazione delle cozze è in grave difficoltà. E' di questi giorni infatti la chiusura di molte piantagioni di cozze per l'elevato tasso di inquinanti presenti nelle acque del mare. L'acciaieria Ilva è sicuramente la maggiore responsabile.

Taranto's economy mainly based on the cultivation of mussels is in serious trouble. Latest news talks about the closure of many plantations of mussels for the high amount of pollutants in the sea. The steelmaker farm Ilva is certainly a major contributor.
