I sure learned a lot of new things by trying to swim with a camera underwater!
1. The light is filtered so severely it is nearly impossible to get good color rendition without a flash.
2. It is very difficult to hold still while the ocean swells try to push you against the underwater rocks and reef.

Tonight I find myself in a most unusual situation...almost wireless...hundreds of miles from home for the next 6 days...have my mac with me to process images...but no portable hard drive to switch them over to this rinky dink old pc which serves as my only source to the internet!...so it would seem that for the moment I can only comment and not submit! I found this image on my photostream from a while back...obviously one which I had decided not to go with...how handy it is now...a bit like the humble button from my last post! PS this pc is so rinky dink the only punctuation that works on it is the full stop...I think you call this a period in the US!...oh yes...the exclaimation mark works too!
I like these, although I'd have one in completely standard form.

Over $57,000 raised with 6 days left to buy a book!
Of all the places I traveled last year, Point of the Arches on the Olympic peninsula is near the top of my list. The fact that it takes 4.5 hours of driving, 2 hours of walking and that it rains 300 days a year makes it difficult to reach, but when you get a sunny day, it can’t be beat. I’ve spent both a miserable rainy day and 2 beautiful sunny days… I’ll take a sunny day please :)

Singapore National Day Parade
Singapore celebrated its first National Day as an independent nation in 1966, one year after Singapore's separation from Malaysia on 9 August 1965.
The first National Day Parade started in the morning at 9:00 a.m. that day. People came as early as 7:00 a.m. in order to get good vantage points. Singapore's first President, Mr Yusof bin Ishak and Singapore's first Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, were seated with members of the government at the grandstand on the steps of City Hall. When the parade began, 6 military contingents (including the Singapore Infantry Regiment, SPDF and the then Republic of Singapore Police), a mobile column from the SIR, and various schools and civil contingents marched past City Hall and then into the city streets. Three military bands accompanied the parade inspection and later the march past with military music. The Singapore Fire Brigade also took part in this first parade with its firetrucks included in the mobile column. Rounding it all was a massed lion and dragon dance performance from drum and dragon troupes nationwide.
The following year, the contingents increased to 76, including those of the then established Singapore Armed Forces, the RSP and more cultural groups, with the addition of more civil marching groups. The reason is partly due to the introduction of the National Service program in the military and police forces, and later extended to the Fire Brigade, later called the Singapore Fire Services in the 1970s. Street performances by various groups also debuted in that year's parade. The 1968 edition, although held on a rainy morning that surprised even the marching contingents and the dignitaries, saw the first ground performances on the Padang as the weather improved - a prelude to today's show performances. 1969's parade, the one where the Mobile Column made its first drivepast, commemorated the 150th year of the city's founding and had Princess Alexandra of the UK as principal guest.
On the August 9, 1970 NDP edition, the Flypast of the State Flag and the Republic of Singapore Air Force Flypast debuted. A combat simulation performance by Singapore Army personnel was one of the new highlights for that year.
The 1971 NDP was the first to include the iconic mobile parade floats from various organizations. Choirs also debuted on that year's edition.
The 1973 parade was held from the afternoon to early evening for the first time to attract more attendance from the public. The next year, colour broadcasts of the parade on television began.
The 1975 parades, held to celebrate Singapore's 10th year, were for the first time decentralized into 13 parade venues for more public participation. Almost all of them lasted for an hour and all of them even had route marches on the streets to the participating venues.
By the time the NDP was held at the National Stadium (for the first time) in 1976, the NDP Guard of Honour, composed of officers and personnel of the SAF and the Singapore Police Force made its first appearance, followed after the parade proper by the very first evening presentations by various groups, a prelude to future evening NDPs in 1980 and from 1984 onward. 1977's parade was a decentralized event like two years before (and like 1968's was damped by the rain) while 1978 would see the parade back at the Padang grounds. 1979's parade was yet another decentralized one, held in several high schools and sports stadiums nationwide.
The 1980 parade, held at the National Stadium, almost rained at the start, but the performances went on as planned as the weather improved later. This was the first parade in which the feu de joie of the Guard-of-Honour contingents made its inaugural appearance. 1981's NDP was the very first parade appearance of the then SPF Civil Defense Command, presently the Singapore Civil Defense Force, later combined with the SFS in 1989. (The SCDF of today showed itself for the first time in the 1982 NDP held in the Padang.) They were held in two decentralised venues, Jurong and Queenstown Sports Stadiums for further increase public attendance and participation in the celebrations. 1982's parade, back at the Padang site, featured more contingents and for the first time the mobile column drove past after the marchpast had concluded, thus making it a predecessor to the parades at the Padang from 1995 onward (every 5 years).
1983 would be the final year that the NDP was held in multiple venues.
The 1984 NDP, now back at the Padang, celebrated Singapore's Silver Jubilee of self-governance and included a bigger Mobile Column, the first appearance of the popular Silent Precision Drill Squad from the Singapore Armed Forces Military Police Command and the first true evening fireworks display (plus the debut of the very first NDP theme song) while NDP 1985 celebrated the nation's 20th year with more participants in the parade segment and in the show proper. The 1986 edition was the first true evening edition of the parade, and the first to use flashlights for audience use. 1987's parade, held at the Padang, was the first ever evening event held there and featured the first appearance of the massed military bands of the SAF. 1988 saw the card stunt feature being used for the first time during the National Stadium event and the 1989 edition, the first National Stadium daytime event, saw the debut of the nationally famous Red Lions parachute team and the daylight fireworks after 1966. The parade returned to the Padang in 1990 to honor the nation's silver jubilee year, which would turn out to be the last afternoon event ever to be held.
In 1997, for the first time, there was a National Education Show, where Primary 5 students watch NDP rehearsals.
The government set up the electronic voting ticketing system in 2003 in order to tackle the problem of overcrowding. Such ticketing system enables citizens to stand a chance at winning the tickets by registering their e-mail addresses or mobile numbers at the NDP website or phonelines.
Starting 2008, the NDP is also aired all over the Asia-Pacific region through Channel NewsAsia.
2009's NDP was the first ever edition to have an integrated show including the parade segment.
In 2014 Third Warrant Officer Shirley Ng became the first female Red Lion parachutist to jump at the NDP.[1][2]
2015's parade, even as all was planned for the parade to be at the Padang, will be the first ever parade to be held both there and at the Float at Marina Bay, breaking a parade tradition in the process. NDP 2015 is the first National Day Parade without the founding leader Lee Kuan Yew, who never missed a single National Day Parade since 1966, for whom he had died on 23 March 2015, within 8 months after attending the 2014 edition.
NDP editions
The venue of the parade is usually at the historical grounds of the Padang, where the declaration of Singapore's independence was held. Since the first parade in 1966, all the way to 1975, the venue was located in this central area to bring the parade closer to the people. In 1976, the parade was held for the first time at the newly completed National Stadium, where the much larger capacity allowed for more to view the parade live.
Although offering about 60,000 seats in the National Stadium, the demand for tickets remained high. Hence there were several attempts to decentralise the venue to bring the celebration closer to more Singaporeans. From 1975 to 1983, celebrations were alternated between a decentralised event and one centered at the Padang or stadium. From 1984, the parade was held twice at the stadium before being brought back to the Padang. This three-year cycle was repeated up to 1994.
From 1995, it was decided that the Padang would be used as the venue every five years. The Padang, although historically important, posed a greater logistical challenge and also offered fewer seats for spectators. The event and rehearsals also required the closing of surrounding roads. There was a need to construct temporary spectator stands around the field. The site remained, however, the only feasible venue for the mobile column, as the heavy vehicles could not be driven onto the stadium track. The Padang was used as the main performance venue for the 2005 parade, with fringe activities decentralised to Marina South, Jurong East, Yishun and Tampines.
Several alternate locations were mooted, including the utilisation of the Padang, which is physically bigger and less likely to disrupt daily functions in the city.
Parade being held at the Marina Bay Floating Stadium in 2007
On 16 October 2005, it was announced that that 2006 NDP would be held at the old stadium for the last time before moving to The Float at Marina Bay [1]. The 130 metre by 100 metre platform would be used for the next five years until the new stadium is completed. Although offering a seating capacity of only 27,000, which is less than National Stadium, there is a vast area for 150,000 extra spectators along the Marina Bay waterfront.
Since the 2000s (decade), every year's parade would revolve around a theme which would guide the planning of the parade and show.
After ten-year hiatus, the 2016 edition of NDP will return back to the new National Stadium

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft lifts off from Space Launch Complex 4 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Nov. 21, 2020, at 9:17 a.m. PST (12:17 p.m. EST).
The Sentinel-6/Jason-CS (Continuity of Service) mission consists of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which will be followed by its twin, the Sentinel-6B satellite, in 2025. The Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission is part of Copernicus, the European Union's Earth observation program, managed by the European Commission. Continuing the legacy of the Jason series missions, Sentinel-6/Jason-CS will extend the records of sea level into their fourth decade, collecting accurate measurements of sea surface height for more than 90% of the world's seas, and providing crucial information for operational oceanography, marine meteorology, and climate studies. NASA's Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center was responsible for launch management.

Im Oktober 1648 endete in Deutschland der Dreißigjährige Krieg. Ein viertel Jahr später sitzt jemand im Glockenturm der Waiblinger Michaelskirche und ritzt einen Fisch sowie ein markantes Datum in den Sandstein ein, der eines der Turmfenster umfasst: 6. Januar 1649. - Was soll das?
Nun - sicher ist nichts. Aber ich versuche hier mal ein paar interessante Ansätze zu kombinieren, die vielleicht erklären können, was es mit dem Fisch und dem Datum auf sich haben könnte.
Der Fisch ist ein altes Symbol, durch das sich angeblich die frühen Christen untereinander zu erkennen gaben. Er knüpft an Petrus den Fischer an, hat aber auch die Funktion eines Akrostichons: Das altgriechische Wort für Fisch heißt ICHTHYS und lässt sich als Abkürzung für "Iēsoũs Christòs Theoũ Hyiòs Sōtér" lesen - "Jesus Christus Gottes Sohn (und) Erlöser".
Aber das Datum?
Der 6. Januar ist der Dreikönigstag. Im Kirchenjahr heißt dieser Tag Epiphanias, der "Erscheinungstag des Herrn". Das hat damit zu tun, dass bis zur Kalenderreform von 1582 dieser Tag auf den nunmehr 25. Dezember fiel, und damit dem Geburtstag von Jesus Christus entsprach. Das Datum und der Fisch verweisen also beide auf Jesus Christus. Doch wie schon erwähnt: Im Jahr 1582 gab es eine Kalenderreform, die Epiphanias auf den 6. Januar verschob. Nach der Reform definierte die Kirche diesen neuen Dreikönigstag als Beginn ihres Kirchenjahres. Im süddeutschen Raum heißt Dreikönig darum manchmal auch "Neuneujahrstag". Dreikönig war in früheren Jahrhunderten also für Christen der Beginn des neuen Jahres, ein Pendant zu Sylvester. Außerdem ist Dreikönig die letzte der "Zwölf Nächte", die seit dem Weihnachtsabend vergangen sind. Diese Nächte galten im Volksaberglauben als die Zeit, in der die bösen Geister des alten Jahres umgehen.
Die Stadt Waiblingen wurde im Dreißigjährigen fast vollständig niedergebrannt. Ich vermute, dass am Ende des Krieges einige obdachlos gewordene Menschen im Kirchturm lebten. Einer von ihnen hat dann das Datum des ersten Neujahrsbeginns nach dem Krieg in den Stein der Turmwand geritzt, weil er sich eine friedliche Zukunft erhoffte. Aber das kann ich nicht beweisen. Ich mutmaße nur, dass es so gewesen sein könnte.
January 6th, 1649
In Germany Thirty Years' War was finished in October 1648. A quarter of a year later somebody scratched a fish and this date into the wall of the tower of Waiblingen's church. - What does it mean?
Well - I am not sure. But I want to try to combine some interesting approaches which may be due to explain this inscription.
The fish is said to be an old symbol that was used by early Christians to recognize each other. It reminds to Saint Peter, the fisherman, but it also works as an acrostic: in Ancient Greek the word for fish is ICHTHYS and that can be read as "Iēsoũs Christòs Theoũ Hyiòs Sōtér" - "Jesus Christ Godfather's Son (and) Saviour".
But what does the date stand for?
The 6th of January is Epiphany. Epiphany means "manifestation" or "striking appearance" and the term was in use to express the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. Until the year of 1582 Epiphany fell together with 25th December, the day of Jesus' birth. But in 1582 the calendar system has been reformed by integrating eleven days, and so Epiphany became the sixth day of January. This new Epiphany was defined as the beginning of the liturgical year. In so far it was a pendant to New Year's Day. And finally Epiphany was the "Twelfth Night" as it is known from Shakespeare - the last of the spooky nights after Christmas.
The city of Waiblingen has been burned down more or less completely in course of Thirty Years' War. I suppose that at the end of the war some people who became homeless lived inside the church steeple. One of them had the idea to carve the fish and the date of the beginning new year into to tower's wall. I think he was full of hope for a peaceful future without war.

I've been playing around with the preset filters in Lightroom some more today. I've really been liking this filter, but it doesn't work well with much so it was great to get a photo that works.
Music has always been a part of my life. My mother has a photograph of me sitting with my great-grandmother at her piano when I was probably 2 or 3 years old. I played a myriad of instruments throughout grade school and college and still play clarinet and piano. Needless to say, learning an instrument has never been too difficult for me. Guitar however.....I've never met with something so difficult to learn. I absolutely love it because I can sing along with myself, but it is proving hard to wrap my brain around. One of these days I hope to be able to do more than just strum.
