We now can see the full length of the over 6 km Leitisvatn/Sørvágsvatn Lake. The headlands on either side of the Lake drop precipitiously from heights of 252 and 376 m. into the North Atlantic. From this perspective, we also have a head-on view of the Bøsdalafossur waterfall, which is the Lake's outlet into the ocean. Distant north and east of the Lake provide vistas of rugged parts of the island of Streymoy.

The 1946 Argus 21 Markfinder was a forward leap for Argus, but it basically combined the shutter of the C3 in the metal body of the A3. It wasn't as easy as that, though, the limited space required a totally new shutter design, resembling the C3 only in its behind-lens placement. The f/3.5 lens was removable for use on an enlarger, but no other lenses were offered and the lens thread was not compatible with that of the C3. The "Markfinder" feature was the world's first projected-frame viewfinder, based on a trick Argus had learned during the war; but they could not figure out a way to combine this new feature with a rangefinder, so the 21 is a scale-focusing viewfinder camera. When market realities led to the camera's evolution to the rangefinder C4, the projected-frame feature was dropped.

Deanna's shot is DA BOMB.
today is my 21st birthday. i decided last year that i would take a portrait every year on my birthday to remember it by, and how i've grown as a person over the years. this is year 21. it's definitely been a crazy one. i'll graduate college this year, i'm basically a grown up. that's terrifying. but clearly i don't always act like it considering the silly string. i hope everyone has a flawless summer. may the photo adventures begin. here's the link to last years photo: www.flickr.com/photos/newsetofwings/8737538944/
The seafood here rivals that found only the coasts. I almost expected to hear the roar of the ocean and seagulls laughing =)
My bike is still at work from that ice storm so I walked to work. I should have left a bit earlier to account for taking pictures and checking out the 4 Little Free Libraries on my route. Do you have these where you live? Apparently, the idea for them came from Wisconsin and they have been popping up here like mushrooms.
When looking up the link, I found this interesting article.
After all the mild weather and rain I noticed a rose had appeared on our bush in the garden - nice to see a spot of colour in the garden this time of year!
This morning the car temperature said it was -2 out there and poor little rose was covered in a thick layer of frost! Very beautiful!
soo, today is my 21st birthday! :) in celebration, here is a video i made of my trip to NYC this past december. i hope you all enjoy it!
here's the full link, because i know flickr only lets you see one minute of it. i'd appreciate it if you watched the whole thing & gave me some feedback! :)
btw. i love m83.
Okay, first of all, a big Thank You who have visited and commented on my posts in spite of my absence from your streams. I really appreciate it! And now a little about this picture. September 21 is a very special day in our family: my daughter's wedding day! This is a view from the Lake House, in Pickering, where the ceremony and reception were held.This was taken around 6:30 in the evening, just before sunset and just after the ceremony. So, you might ask, why no shots of the bride and groom? All I can say is I was not the photographer and though I stole a few shots here and there, I don't have a body of good wedding photos to share. And after a while I was too busy dancing to take photos! If you'd like to see a very nice shot of the nervous bride and me, just before the walk down the aisle, check out this one by my brother-in-law, Anvilcloud. I'll share some more links as they come on line so you can have a look if you're interested.
NATO gave codenames for all Warsaw Pact aircraft. All the fighters began with F, hence Fishbed, Flogger, Foxbat, Fulcrum etc. Bombers started with B - Bear, Badger, Bison, Blackjack etc. The MiG-21 was the mainstay of the Warsaw Pact air forces for years.

Meet Mick
An almost 50 year old fisherman.
Mick was collecting fallen wood to make a fire, ready for when the sun set, and the pike came-a biting.
He has been fishing the lake for over 40 years, his father introduced it to him when he was a "nipper", and the only time he didn't fish there, was when he was in the Army.
He was recently diagnosed as having Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, from when he was in the Army. He has waited years for the diagnosis, which came as a blessing, as he thought he was going senile with the hearing of voices in his head. He still gets horrific flashbacks, particularly in his sleep, but he is hoping the drugs he is now taking will eventually kick in, he is looking forward to a good night's sleep... eventually. Fishing has now become his escape.
His PTSS has caused him to split with his wife, and he ended up spending 18 months sleeping rough in the streets, until one of his sisters took him in. He laughed, when I said, he was lucky to have such a good sister, he told me he had 5 sisters and 2 brothers. It looks like big families are in his blood, as he had 6 children of his own. His eldest son in Australia, his older girls were both at uni, his remaining 3 boys were all doing well at school, whilst living with his wife. He said, that no matter what life had thrown at him, he has never, and will never lose contact with his children, they were his life.
He is now looking forward to a more settled life, in a home of his own. I truly wish him luck with that, he seemed like a very genuine man who has been dealt some rough hands.

Brittany has had three baths this week. We are both annoyed. I know that is alot. But the first time was for rolling in something disgusting that made her stink. The second time was because I let her swim in the Mississippi River (it had flooded over onto a road so we went for a walk on it). The third time was because we went swimming at the Spillway.
The Spillway is where there is a dam at a lake and the water well, spills over. Only thing is that with all this rain we have had the Spillway was flooding over. Normally you can walk up to it and sit under the water falls as it massages your back. Normally you can walk across to get to the spillway. Not this time. WE HAD TO SWIM. And not only that it got DEEP. Britt was with me and had to be on leash. Which was fine since I had her Flexi lead. Well Britt likes to fetch. Problem is. She doesn't bring it to me. NOOOO, she brings it all the way back to shore. So she kept grabbing her leash and swimming ALL the way back to shore. So I took her leash off while we swam across. Dropped her leash. >_> I keep thinking how when all that water receeds. Someone just found a nice flexi lead. >_> Britt was happy though. She ended up off leash the whole time because I didn't feel like swimming back and keeping her in the car and there were no other dogs.
I was gonna do a water picture this week. But I did that last week and everyone seems to be having water pictures and I wanted to be different.
Fact of the Week: Brittany was NOT clicker trained. My mom and step-dad (and dad for that matter) believe in old style training. Which means spankings. Just like they did with me. >_> Well this week I've been working on clicker training. I think it is a ton of fun and we were both enjoying it. I LOVED it. Britt was getting so frustrated (I was attempting to shape her into retrieving her Wubba on command) that she started attacking my hands and barking like "give me the damn treat already" Which would make me laugh uncontrollably and welts appear all over my hand where the little mutt had clawed me. ;D I love this dog.
