"Pesadillas en la noche
me decían que iba a perder la lucha
y dejar atrás mis borrascosas, borrascosas,
cumbres borrascosas..."
Una nueva nocturna, tomada en compañía y con la inestimable colaboración en la iluminación del mío colega maese Antonio, en tanto esperábamos la llegada de maese Isidro. Echamos de menos a la Muy Noble Almudena, nuestra "cuarta mosquetera" ;-), en aquesta nocturna gesta.
-English:
"Bad dreams in the night
they told me i was going to lose the fight
leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
wuthering heights..."
A new night shot taken in the company and with the invaluable collaboration in the lighting tasks of my loyal colleague Antonio, while we were waiting for our friend and fellow photographer Isidro to arrive. We missed Almudena, our “fourth musketeer” ;-), very much in this photographic outing.

I am a part of all I’ve met
Taping life’s journey together
Petal by petal, Angel to Angel
Forever wandering
Where frolic may engage
And memories twinkle
Beyond heroic souls
In each special place;
Upon any single day
My purpose holds
As I thrive in age.
I am a part of all I’ve met
My journey has never been better
Endlessly celebrated
Page by page;
Day after day.

While I love exploring the realms of all Second Life has to offer by visiting astonishing sims and ogling over spectacles and themed venues, I do prefer setting out my own scenery when it comes to a focus on Designer’s reviews. I’ve taken great care and pride in my presentation where I hope to capture the hearts of an artist’s audience and, most especially, to bring forth revenue and customers to the Creator’s I blog for.
Hence….I am proud to present a few Designers that are always tugging at my heart with their creative designs. While I jumped for joy to learn I am one of 6 Finalists in E.V.E’s Blogger Search, I hoped to express exactly what is important to me when I do take on a responsibility to review.Continued

Sidewalk overhead protection seems to be the constant near Parliament Hill's West Block on Wellington street. These old government buildings are undergoing yet another restoration - likely to coincide with Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017.
No artificial blur added in post - all done in-camera with the steadfast XF35mmF1.4 R lens.
Life is good.
Plenty of eucalyptus leaves to munch on, a shady trunk to grab, and a day long lap. what could be better?
Life is good.
AND.... Terry and I had the opportunity to hold one of these beautiful animals. They are as soft and cuddly as you would imagine

In just a few days, on December 4th, Caithlin and her siblings will turn 10 - congrats to all six of this amazing and very succesful litter.
This is a collage of kitten photos shot by their Swedish foster mother Elisabeth Karlsson, who bred and raised them in cooperation with breeder Teresa Guldager. Top left shows mother Dushara Leonora and Caithlin looking at the camera. Bottom right of all six has Caithlin to the right looking up.
Caithlin and her sister Na Dorsa both have done very well at the shows and so has their brother Dushara Danü, who moved to Finland and fathered the 2016 World Winner Kharn-Ka Your Choice. Another brother, Liam, still lives along with mother Leonora in Elisabeth's home near Lund, Sweden. The two remaining sisters Molly Malone and Shantalla both have found loving homes in the Copenhagen area.

Another of the must-to-do things in the island is to book a sunset cruise. It's about 6h long for about 100€ per person. The tour starts in the south of the island and they go through the west of it going to several places. The waters are calm so there is no way you get sea sick over there as the movement is quite mild. On the way back you'll be able to experience a nice sunset.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

Tims Ford Reservoir is on the Elk River in south central Tennessee. It extends 34 miles upstream to the northeast from Tims Ford Dam. In addition to power generation and recreation, Tims Ford provides water supply and flood damage reduction downstream on the Elk River, primarily for Fayetteville, Tennessee. A few facts about Tims Ford include:
‧ Construction of Tims Ford Dam began in 1966 and was completed in 1970.
‧ The dam is 175 feet high and stretches 1,580 feet across the Elk River.
‧ Tims Ford Dam is a hydroelectric facility. It has one generating unit with a summer net dependable capacity of 40 megawatts. Net dependable capacity is the amount of power a dam can produce on an average day, minus the electricity used by the dam itself.
‧ The water level in Tims Ford Reservoir varies about 15 feet in a normal year.
‧ Tims Ford has a flood-storage capacity of 219,600 acre-feet.
www.tva.com/energy/our-power-system/hydroelectric/tims-ford
The name Tims Ford is derived from an early river crossing constructed by Abner Tims long before Tims Ford Dam’s construction on the Elk River’s headwaters was even considered. Additonally, the Tims Ford State Park was established in 1978 and includes 1,322-acres on the Tims Ford Reservoir. The 10,700-acre Tims Ford Lake is one of the most picturesque in Tennessee, and is regarded as one of the top bass fishing and recreational lakes in the Southeast. And, on August 11, 2017, the Tims Ford Hydroelectric Project was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its historical contributions to the Middle Tennessee area.

The Island plant is located on Centre Island, surrounded by Lake Ontario. This is the site of Toronto’s first water treatment plant.
The original plant, built in two stages in the early 1900s, is no longer in service. The existing Island plant, built in 1977, has a capacity of 410 million litres per day.
Once only a May-to-October operation, it was used for peak capacity during hot weather high consumption periods and as a backup when another water treatment plant was taken out of service for maintenance.
A partnership in the Deep Lake Water Cooling project changed all that.

Again excited to discover to myself this beauty and added it to my collection.
The photo is heavily cropped, but considering it is my first shot of this butterfly, i am satisfied :)

Once again they added my picture to Explore at around 4 AM local time which is the end of the day !
Who doesn't like hummingbirds? One of the great things about spring and summer is the opportunity to photograph these remarkable birds. In anticipation of the good weather around the corner (hopefully), here is a shot from the archives. The photo was taken with my trusty Olympus digital camera during a visit to VanDusen Gardens in 2016. Enjoy.
P.S. I'm still very busy transplanting seedlings into my garden.
Burgers ’Zoo in the Netherlands has a rich tradition in the housing and breeding of lions. In this way a lion-sled was born in 1963, a great rarity. The thousandth lion has already been born here in the late 1960s! In 1968, the first Safari Park on the European mainland was opened in Arnhem. Here people could ride among the lions in cars, a major innovation! But after a few years the Safari was turned into a walking safari. Now visitors can take a good look at the lion group from an observation hut.

William Withering, an 18th century botanist and physician, studied the medicinal use of foxgloves, in particular their use in the treatment of dropsy. He discovered that an infusion of the leaves could slow and strengthen the heartbeat, which in turn stimulated the kidneys to clear the body and lungs of excess fluid. He also showed that foxglove leaves could be used in the treatment of heart failure (but that high doses could stop the heart).
Withering’s "An Account of the Foxglove and Some of its Medical Uses: with Practical Remarks on Dropsy, and Other Diseases" (1785) is a landmark publication, being the first English text in which the therapeutic effects of a drug are described, and is considered by some to mark the birth of modern pharmacology. Withering’s work led to the eventual isolation and purification of digitoxin and digoxin (cardiac glycosides used in modern medicine as heart stimulants in the drug digitalis).
Happy Tuesday. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

During the summer I always appreciate and take advantage of the good weather because I know Winter will follow . As I get older Winter seems longer and Summer shorter.

Autumn is the most tumultuous season - one day it is summer, the next feels like winter as we wake up to ground frost! This year it has been marked by gales and storms. The trees are almost stripped of their autumn colours, while in 2016 we were still shooting into November.
I shoot a lot, but then find that I don't process and upload most of the haul of shots I bring home. Adding to the store are all the shots I take in the garden too!!
So I've made a new album: Autumn through the lens: Here
Well, through the lenses is more accurate, as I usually tote several lenses with me when I go out shooting the local woods, gardens, landscapes and seascapes in and around Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where I live. So I am hoping to hunt out and upload more autumnal shots to add to this album. I'll mix the years, and try to pick out the best I can! The lenses I use range from macro to landscape wide-angle and telephoto zoom, and I love old Russian lenses, Lensbaby optics and infrared too. Not too sure about IR for catching the autumn colour ... but I'll give it a try ;o)
This shot was taken with the Lensbaby Edge 80, before the sliding and post-processing began. I have written about the Edge 80 as part of a series of articles on the Lensbaby: Here

Orlando is a city in the U.S. state of Florida and the county seat of Orange County. Located in Central Florida, it is the center of the Orlando metropolitan area, which had a population of 2,387,138, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures released in March 2016, making it the 24th-largest metropolitan area in the United States, the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the Southern United States, and the third-largest metropolitan area in Florida. As of 2015, Orlando had an estimated city-proper population of 270,934, making it the 73rd-largest city in the United States, the fourth-largest city in Florida, and the state's largest inland city.
The City of Orlando is nicknamed "The City Beautiful," and its symbol is the fountain at Lake Eola. Orlando is also known as "The Theme Park Capital of the World" and in 2014 its tourist attractions and events drew more than 62 million visitors. The Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the thirteenth-busiest airport in the United States and the 29th-busiest in the world. Buddy Dyer is Orlando's mayor.
As one of the world's most visited tourist destinations, Orlando's famous attractions form the backbone of its tourism industry: Walt Disney World, located approximately 21 miles (34 km) southwest of Downtown Orlando in Bay Lake, opened by the Walt Disney Company in 1971; the Universal Orlando Resort, opened in 1999 as a major expansion of Universal Studios Florida. With the exception of Walt Disney World, most major attractions are located along International Drive. The city is also one of the busiest American cities for conferences and conventions; the Orange County Convention Center is the second-largest convention facility in the United States.
Like other major cities in the Sun Belt, Orlando grew rapidly during the 1980s and into the first decade of the 21st century, mostly due to the success of Walt Disney World, which was opened on October 1, 1971. Orlando is home to the University of Central Florida, which is the largest university campus in the United States in terms of enrollment as of 2015. In 2010, Orlando was listed as a "Gamma−" level of world-city in the World Cities Study Group's inventory. Orlando ranks as the fourth-most popular American city based on where people want to live according to a 2009 Pew Research Center study.

This is my setup for my Tomb Raider inspired picture as seen here.
For this shot I used my Canon Rebel SL1 set up on a tripod using my 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens, (btw this camera/lens combo is great for an everyday camera because it's small but it's still a proper dslr and it even has video too) and I used my handy-dandy remote shutter so its easier to focus on not setting my custom mining on fire instead of the shutter button. My setup for this specific shot involved a bunch of random dirt clumps that had moss on them that I might’ve took from my neighbor’s yard, and I used some random leaves because i couldn’t find enough dirt clumps but i still needed to make the end of the cave darker so it was easy to use leaves as coverage. I put all the crap that I used for the shot on a flipped over plastic bin lid because it is waterproof and easy to transport the whole setup somewhere else when needed. The waterproofiness of that bin lid comes in handy because my original idea was to have a flooded cave (as they usually are in Tomb Raider) so I just filled that thing up with water. I ended up using using a longer barbecue lighter rather than the one in the picture because it was easier to direct the flame without burning my thumb. The final shot for this pic is pretty much straight out of camera, albeit a bit of color balancing.
This shot taken at Pin Mill was approx 1 hour before high tide and the last of the images wellies needed. By this time it was spotting with rain and had difficulty keeping filters dry.

3nd Chase of 2017...
Most of you know that follow me on Flickr & Social Media... that I love good opportunities to capture lightning. It was one of the reasons why I took up storm photography 20+ years ago. I didn't have many opportunities in 2016 to capture lightning...
This year it started off with a Bang. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Disappointed of that afternoons chase... I was redeemed by the storms ample cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes. An epic night of storm photography!
