Fotografía Nº 245
Esta foto la saque de las tantas veces que salimos con mi amiga Monica por nuestro pueblo a buscar cosas que nos llamen la atencion Hoy el dia esta muy feo, como suelen ser los Domingos!
<b<Photo No. 245
This picture gets from the many times we went out with my friend Monica for our people to look for things we today call the day care is very ugly, usually on Sundays!

for a couple of reasons:
1. There's a sense of calm that comes over me when I turn into the driveway after a long week at work.
2. We're in desperate need of moisture, so I'm hoping the storm clouds bring rain.
Submission for Today's Posting #164 - Use a mirror as part of a composition in a photograph today.
Explored April 20, 2012 - 262/500
Probably something a lot like the contents of Marcellus Wallace's briefcase.
I had the idea for this shot very early in my 365, and I can say that I'd have had no idea how to pull the shot off back when I thought of it. I had almost completely forgotten about it until I looked at my idea file, which I had thought had run dry months ago. My wife has had this ornate box (which is, in fact, plastic) for a while, and I thought it would make a good "Pandora's Box"-type element. I lined it with aluminum foil, and put a strobe gelled yellow-orange inside. A second strobe served as fill light, with a longish exposure and stepped up ISO to get some glow from the candles in the background.
Originally, I was going with a horrified expression, but thought the wicked one worked better, what with the handlebars and the candles in vaguely horn-like position.
Nikon D7000 w/Nikkor 18-200mm @ 36mm, 1/10s @ ƒ/11, ISO400. One SB-700 inside box, gelled yellow-orange, 1/2 power. Second SB-700 camera right and in front of subject, firing through white umbrella, 85mm zoom, 1/16 power. Replaced the titles on one or two of the visible books in Photoshop (since "Heidi" didn't suit the shot), and did other post-production (mostly sharpening, color balance, and some minor selective dodging/burning) in Aperture.

Colle Val d'Elsa si trova a nord della provincia di Siena, lungo la strada che collega il capoluogo di provincia a Firenze. Il paese è diviso nel borgo vecchio, detta Colle Alta, e la parte nuova, Colle Bassa.
Da sempre teatro della guerra tra Guelfi e Ghibellini, solo nel 1500 trova la sua dimensione come nuova diocesi e con l'esplosione economica dell'industria del ferro e del vetro.
La parte alta è quella più antica, il primo nucleo abitativo colligiano, meta dei turisti in vacanza in Toscana, a cui si può accedere da Porta Nuova e da via della Rimembranza dove ci sono dei posteggi. La parte bassa, con la centralissima Piazza Arnolfo è la sede delle attività produttive.
L'industria del cristallo, discendente diretta di quella del vetro e del ferro, decretò l'esplosione economica colligiana nel cinquecento. Già nell'Ottocento era definita la Boemia d'Italia e oggi Colle Val d'Elsa è conosciuta in tutto il mondo come la Città del Cristallo, vantando il 15% di tutta la produzione mondiale di cristallo ed oltre il 95% di quella italiana.

I was in Seattle recently driving through the tunnels of I-90, and really wanted to try this one out.
I used my tripod in the backseat of my car. My car has seats that fold down completely flat, so it was only natural to use a tripod. It was a bit of work though.... It was incredibly difficult to try to get the frame perfectly centered while still getting a good perspective. I had to keep getting out of the car and adjusting the camera. Also, to illuminate the overhead lighting panel and rear view mirror, I used my phone's flash. The things we do for that desired shot, huh?
Thank you for every single view, comment, and fav. They are very much appreciated!
Overall, I think it turned out fairly well. Let me know what you think...
Camps Bay is an affluent suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. In summer it attracts a large number of foreign visitors as well as South Africans looking for a beach holiday. It is renowned for its white sandy beaches fringed by palm trees and has a trendy nightlife.

Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes.
As large scavengers, griffon vultures have not been observed to seek shelter for thermoregulation. Vultures use their bald heads as a means to thermoregulate in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Changes in posture can increase bare skin exposure from 7% to 32%. This change allows for the more than doubling of convective heat loss in still air. Griffon vultures have also been found to tolerate increased body temperatures as a response to high ambient temperatures. By allowing their internal body temperature to change independently of their metabolic rate, griffon vultures minimize their loss of water and energy in thermoregulating. One study in particular (Bahat 1995) found that these adaptations have allowed the Griffon vulture to have one of the widest thermal neutral zones of any bird.
It declined markedly throughout the 19th–20th centuries in much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, mainly due to direct persecution and "bycatch" from the poisoned carcasses set for livestock predators (Snow and Perrins 1998, Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). In some areas a reduction in available food supplies, arising from changes in livestock management practices, also had an impact (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). It is very highly vulnerable to the effects of potential wind energy development (Strix 2012) and electrocution has been identified as a threat (Global Raptors Information Network 2015). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for veterinary purposes pose a threat to this species. One case of suspected poisoning caused by flunixin, an NSAID, was recorded in this species in 2012 in Spain (Zorrilla et al. 2015). Diclofenac, a similar NSAID, has caused severe declines in Gyps vulture species across Asia.

This was a great way to wake yourself up on a Tuesday morning! HFDT!
There’s something about this ship. Obviously right, or why would it still be there and why would there have been a pier built extending to it? But maybe more than a place to stop and snap a touristy photo, there is a draw here. There is an enchantment that begs one to keep looking, keep surveying, and not to simply hop back in the car and head on to the next coastal attraction. There’s a lasting story here, and something tells me there are a couple more chapters to be written. Maybe it’s just me? Cheers. –jared r.

La naturaleza, en ocasiones, mantiene recónditos rincones al abrigo de sus pétreos pliegues y de frondosa vegetación, donde las visitas multitudinarias no son posibles dada la dificultad del acceso. Por eso, el grupo de montaña Iris, se propuso como objetivo para la ruta del día 25 de marzo de 2012, un encuentro con el Cascada de Agualta, situada en la Sierra del Teleno. El punto de partida: el pueblo de Pozos, asentado en la Comarca leonesa de la Cabrera. La ruta discurre a través de pistas en ascenso hasta una altura aproximada de 1.550 m. donde la vegetación predominante es el brezo. De todas las elevaciones montañosas sobresale, al oeste el mítico Teleno. En el punto más alto del trayecto, hay que descender por la vertiente norte de la Sierra sorteando peñascos mientras se visualiza la comarca de Maragatería y nos ameniza el sonido del golpe de agua en su caída. Entre robles y abedules comimos y reposamos para emprender la subida escarpada con las fuerzas renovadas.

New book being started this week.
Morris and friends go on the search for Happy Hedgehog who has gone missing.
Spoiler: Happy is now gone [the original toy was too beat up to photo any longer, hence the story]. On the adventure, they come across a cousin of Happy's who is also looking for him...Hoppy.
Let the adventure begin!
Interesting that this was Explored on October 26th.
Update:
Book cover for 'Where's Happy the Hedgehog Gone?'
This will be the 6th book in the series.

Porque a veces mirar atrás duele, porque a veces un paso adelante acorta el camino a la felicidad, porque habrá personas a las que estos días no les diga nada o les diga todo porque han perdido una parte, porque hay personas que querrían celebrar y no pueden, porque hay personas que quieren querer, porque estos días no sean una excusa, porque lo traslademos a lo cotidiano... Feliz Año 2012!!!
Because sometimes it hurts to look back, because sometimes one step forward shortens the path to happiness, because there will be people that these days tell them nothing or tell them all because they have lost a part,because there are people who want to celebrate and not can, because people want to love, because these days are not an excuse, because we moved it to the everyday ...

Anthropology Museum. Photos taken during one of our many visits to El Salvador. These were taken in 2012.
In a pensive instant, I captured this shot of my wife contemplating the gardens just outside the museum gallery.
"come over to my house
i'll pour some tea for us
one sugar or two
your hand is right in front of me
your finger fragilely,
holy on my side
faster than an astronaut
who's coming home to what he left long ago
i've made this brand new bed for you
i trust the things we do
holy or not
open the gate cause you're already late
at the end of the lane is a glass of lemonade
keep on the path when you hear the laugh
in the white of her palm is your heart
i'll be brave for a while
i won't bring you down
anymore than you are
please be my baby
don't mean maybe
or not
look out the window
there's a bright yellow cat"

EXPLORE - March 14, 2012
Our beautiful boy Moushka went over the rainbow bridge on Monday the 8th of January, 2018. He had been in poor health for a long time with mouth ulcers, chronic cat flu as well as a low immune system. When he stopped eating and had trouble jumping and walking, we knew the time had come to say goodbye.
He passed away peacefully at our vet at 3:20pm with my wife and I by his side. We brought him home and I buried him in the garden opposite the outside cat enclosure so our other cats can look down on his grave.
Moushka was a little monster as a kitten and destroyed many mobile phone charger cords. As an adult cat, he was loving and friendly to all our other cats. In later years when his health was poor and he had trouble grooming himself, some of our other cats would groom him to help him out. He was a beautiful boy and he will be dearly missed.
The above photo of him was taken on December the 28th, 2012.
Heard that it was a big day down at the beaches, so I headed over to Dee Why Beach and the pool for a shoot at sunset. Some big sets did roll in and the crowds appreciated some of the waves the brave surfers were riding.

Solo piccole gocce,
ma bagnano ogni cosa...
terra, fiori, persone e colori...
Solo piccole gocce
che cadono dal cielo,
pronte a togliere il velo leggero
che il tempo...
la stanchezza...
il correre veloci
posò sui nostri occhi...
Solo piccole gocce,
rimaste sui fiori…
**************************************************
Only small droplets,
wet but everything ...
earth, flowers, people and color ...
Only small droplets
falling from the sky,
ready to remove the slight haze
that the time ...
fatigue ...
the scurrying
put on our eyes ...
Only small droplets,
remained on the flowers ...
Per voi... MUSIC NEGRAMARO - Cade la pioggia
Prende sempre più forma il nuovo servizio del Lunedì per trasporto Colis destinati alla "Padana Tubi" da Terni al piccolo scalo di San Giacomo ( RE ). Il treno composto da 18 carri Axbenet serbi giunge in mattinata con trazione C.F.I. a Reggio, dove una loco FER, la DE145.013 in genere, si occupa di trasferire il convoglio a San Giacomo. Il ritorno dei vuoti avviene nel pomeriggio.

Das Pfingstfest 2018 ließ die Herzen der Eisenbahnfans höher schlagen, denn die DB setzte einen Zusatzzug von Stuttgart nach Straßbourg ein, der natürlich mit der Baureihe 181 bespannt war. Spaß beiseite, hierbei handelt es sich um den LPF 77349 Stuttgart-Offenburg. Da die Filstalbahn wegen Bauarbeiten abschnittsweise gesperrt war, endeten einige Intercities in Stuttgart. DIe Garnitur des 2012/2013 wurde wegen Platzmangel jedoch in Offenburg abgestellt und nach Ankunft des 2013 in Stuttgart mit 181 205 nach Offenburg überführt.
Die letzten vier aktiven Loks der Br 181 werden wahrscheinlich zum Jahresende abgestellt und die Forchheimer Signale werden in den nächsten Wochen fallen, somit ist dieses Foto schon in wenigen Monaten historisch.
