This is my calico cat Cassie sitting on a rail on my front porch. That's her favorite place to be now as she watches the hummingbirds buzz around her... out of reach, thank goodness.
I am dedicating this photo to one of the sweetest ladies you'll ever know.... AMANDA (craftedfromtheheart). She was one of my first Flickr friends and I was drawn to her beautiful photography, her bubbly personality and her fighting spirit to face all the difficult challenges that life seems to have tossed in her direction. Despite her adversities, she keeps on going and fills our comment boxes with humor & sweet words. I admire her so much.
I chose this particular shot because Amanda loves all sorts of animals. She has possums and kookaburra that visit her daily. They know she is a gentle soul that can be trusted. How lucky they are to have Amanda looking after them.
Amanda, thank you so much for the beautiful testimony you wrote for me. You are a blessing in so many people's lives, including mine. Remember, you really ARE an angel, so stretch out those wings and keep on flying........
P.S..... If you visit Amanda's page and see her photos blacked out, fear not. She's being harassed by a coward who keeps flagging her photos. Seriously, how can a photo of a flower be considered inappropriate? It displeases me when people use Flickr resources as a weapon against other members. So sad.

The Grace Frias City is a city located in the Spanish province of Burgos, Autonomous Community of Castilla y Leon (Spain), region of Merindades, judicial district of Villarcayo, head of the municipality of its name.
Enrisco in elevation and close to the wide and mighty river Ebro, was established in strategic enclave crossing the river from the Roman era and especially in medieval, resulting in the remarkable prosperity of Frias and his monumental.

Even the Brooklyn Bridge has it's share of surface rust on the bridge framing. Of course this peeling paint and surface rust does not lessen the integrity of the structure, but it does make for interesting artwork, in my view...:-)
That is Lower Manhattan in the background...
For this shot I used a Canon 17-40 F.4.0 L lens on a full frame Canon 5D MK II

Last week, I returned to the exact location of my last upload to capture the morning fog lifting for the day. There are few clouds this time of year but the fog can really create some good atmosphere and light under the right conditions. The trick is to be ready before sunrise and if it has promise, head out immediately! No HDR.

As usual, this light lasted for about 5 minutes or so. You don't get a second chance with fog because one moment it is too thick and the next minute it burns off to clear skies for the rest of the day! So you must be ready for when the light breaks through. And hopefully it breaks through before it gets too harsh and bright with the sun too high in the sky.
Again, I was really out to shoot the Golden Gate Bridge because there was low fog, but it was not meant to be. The fog was too thick. But that was fine because I have lots of alternative shots planned out, so I just follow the light to where it leads me.

Étretat es muy conocido por sus acantilados, incluyendo un arco natural muy famoso, que algunos llaman «El ojo de aguja». Estos acantilados, así como la playa situada junto a ellos, atrajeron a numerosos artistas (Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet y Claude Monet). Étretat fue el lugar de nacimiento de Élie Halévy (1870-1937), filósofo e historiador.
En la costa francesa, en el departamento del Sena Marítimo, en la Alta Normandía, están los espectaculares acantilados de Etretat, solamente a dos horas y media en coche de París.
Los acantilados se ubican en la localidad de Etretat (Región de la Alta Normandía). Estos poseen 80-100 metros de altitud en algunos de sus puntos y fueron creados en finas capas de sílice a partir de la fuerza del mar y de los vientos. Estos elementos en conjunto originaron su aspecto estriado y característico.

Few cities in the world fire the imagination like Bangkok. Ornate palaces that host royal processions, Buddhist temples that witness monks chanting ancient sutras, canals that lead to a maze of water markets, night bazaars that never sleep - have long proved a powerful magnet for travellers. In this sprawling metropolis, Banyan Tree Bangkok, a 5-star luxury hotel in Sathorn road, offers a spectacular rooftop restaurant and bar - Vertigo Grill & Moon Bar on the elevated 61th floor. The hostess Suritawa welcomes us with the hospitality Thailand is famous for. The greater Bangkok area has a population of around 12 million. This has in turn shifted the country from being a rather homogeneous Thai population to an increasingly vibrant mix of Western, Indian and Chinese people, giving the city a cosmopolitan status. Bangkok is known in Thai as Krung Thep Mahanakhon. The ceremonial name translates it to The city of angels.
Photo taken on the 62th floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel- Sathorn road in Bangkok at Moon Bar opening hours: 6.30pm - 11pm (weather permitting). Hostess Suritawa welcomes us. It's one of the best bars in the world!
De Moon Bar is de bar van het al fresco openlucht Vertigo-restaurant van het Banyan Tree Hotel, op de 62e topverdieping van de Thai Wah II Tower. Het is de op één na hoogste bar van Zuidoost-Azie en u heeft er een prachtig uitzicht over Bangkok. Als u romantisch wil cocktailen moet u hier zijn; bovendien liggen de prijzen van de drankjes hier rond het normale hotelbar-niveau. Je kunt er vanaf 17.00 uur terecht. Mooi, want dan maakt u de zonsondergang tussen 17.30 en 18.00 uur mee, als de miljarden lichtjes van Bangkok gaan fonkelen -een fascinerende aanblik. Je kunt in deze bar gerust aanschuiven om alleen iets te drinken. Het eten in de aanpalende Vertigo Grill is goed, naar Thaise maatstaven wel behoorlijk aan de prijs. Een diner voor twee kost zo'n 200 EUR inclusief de wijn. Maar ja, zo'n ambiance mag ook wat kosten!
Thx Burt Youngers for this Bangkok tip!
Took this on the day of the Penguins Stanley Cup Parade, it was such a beautiful day!
And I SWEAR those halos weren't there when I e-mailed this to myself from my Mac. The PC at work that I downloaded them too must have put them there ;-)
I'll make sure to fix them tonight!
Thanks for the visits, and have a great weekend my friends!
Isn't this the funniest looking fish you have ever seen? So cute! Also looks like it's about to give you a kiss.

I've been going through some really rough times for the past few weeks. I've dealt with one of my biggest nightmares and I think I am going to conquer it.
I just don't think I would have been able to do that without the help and support of some of my old friends. Always remember who your friends are... In the end, its kindness of others that makes you happy. And kids, of course :}
I took this shot last Saturday at the Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. I recently bought a Cokin landscape filter set, so I used the Cokin P153 (ND4) for an extra long exposure and Cokin P037 warming filter to get some rich reds in the sky.

No trip to NYC is complete without a walk across the famed Brooklyn Bridge. This is a view looking westbound to Manhattan Island early in the morning. Thousands of people walk or bike across the bridge daily.
You can read some interesting facts about this bridge Here

This weekend's excursion led me to the beautiful North Cascade mountains. This drive is one of the most beautiful I've ever done. Tried to capture a very much photographed mountain (Liberty Bell) in a somewhat unique way. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for visiting! :)
Unedited mobile phone shot of a biker outside the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. No editing, no tricks, no Photoshop :)
This guy clearly is in a hurry like the Roadrunner himself, maybe he was just speeding up to avoid having to find his reflection back on the Interwebs, hehe...whatever his reason, I wish I could speed up the week like he sped up his bike, and then, when it's Friday, sloooow down and stretch&enjoy those few hours of free time, fun&laughter we call weekend...sigh ;-)
Have a good start into the new week, take care but take it easy!

Last night Lulu and I went to Exchange place to see the Tribute in Light, we got there just as they were starting and stopped into the Vu bar at the Hyatt for a couple of drinks till it got a little darker, met a couple there who come here each year to see it as they had friends affected by the tragedy was nice but a little emotional talking to them, I promised them to post a couple of shots so here they are
as you can see my shots looked far better on the back of a camera than they do on a screen, I really need to get out and practice night shots
Looks better as a thumbnail with the wrong reading glasses on :)
but may be Ok on B l a c k M a g i c
Posting this to FFF www.flickr.com/groups/-cheers-/ as a salute to Mudpig www.flickr.com/photos/yukonblizzard/ whose night shots inspire me and who got some great shots of the lights last night
Perhaps one of the best sunsets I've seen in a long time...

Soon to be the last roses on the balcony. A sign that Summer is rapidly leaving the North East in North America.
Today is nice though, and a quick visit to the balcony to clear my mind was also a good moment to snag a few drop shots.
Nothing here to compare sizes to, but it's small.

Happy weekend to all and thanks for taking a look at yesterday's Micro Macro of the Aphid .
BIG HELLO from Ottawa, Canada & have a great weekend. :-)
Done the same night as this one: www.flickr.com/photos/dcdead/3822517557/
Should be viewed in Large, to see the stars :)
No meteor here though ;)
Technique/Processing
Shot at ISO 2500 and 30 seconds exposure. I used this combination to get many stars in the sky, but they should still be visible as dots (thus the high iso and rather short exposure).
Flashed the tree and the path using an SB-28 off-camera (in my hand) using the test button @ 1/8 several times.
Nearly no post processing in Photoshop
P.S.: Noise Reduction off in the camera AND not denoised in Photoshop
info:
The Milky Way, or simply the Galaxy, is the galaxy in which the Solar System is located. It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies. It is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.
Its name is a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn translated from the Greek Γαλαξίας (Galaxias), referring to the pale band of light formed by the galactic plane as seen from Earth (see etymology of galaxy). Some sources hold that, strictly speaking, the term Milky Way should refer exclusively to the band of light that the galaxy forms in the night sky, while the galaxy should receive the full name Milky Way Galaxy, or alternatively the Galaxy. However, it is unclear how widespread this convention is, and the term Milky Way is routinely used in either context.

#253/365 Here it is...the 14mm in action. This shot is a tribute to 2 movies. Ron Howard's 1982 "Night Shift", A comedy starting Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton. And the more fitting the 1997 thriller "Nightwatch" Staring Ewan McGregor (who plays playa law student who takes a job as a night watchman at a morgue).
Just to clarify I took this photo at Thomas Miller Mortuary in Corona. This embalming room was not this dark and creepy...it was very bright and clean (and not scary what so ever). It's PP'd to look scary.

Bosphorus Bridge
The Bosphorus Bridge, is connecting Europe and Asia. The Bosphorus Bridge had the 4th longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1973, and the longest outside the United States. At present, it is the 16th longest suspension bridge span in the world
Nowadays, around 180,000 vehicles pass daily in both directions, almost 85% being automobiles. On 29 December 1997, the one-billionth vehicle passed the bridge. Fully loaded, the bridge sags about 90 cm (35 in) in the middle of the span.
* On 15 May 2005 at 7.00 a.m. local time, U.S. tennis star Venus Williams played a show game with Turkish standout İpek Şenoğlu on the bridge, the first tennis match ever to be played on two continents. The event was organized as a promotion ahead of the 2005 WTA Istanbul Cup and lasted five minutes. After the exhibition, they both threw a tennis ball into the Bosphorus.
* On 17 July 2005 at 10.30 a.m. local time, British Formula One driver David Coulthard drove his Red Bull racing car on the bridge first from the European side to the Asian side, and then turning with a spectacular powerslide at the toll plaza back to the European side for show. He parked his car in the garden of Dolmabahçe Palace where his ride had started. While crossing the bridge with his Formula 1 car, Coulthard was picked up by the automatic surveillance system and charged with a fine of 20 Euros because he passed through the toll booths without payment. His team accepted to pay for him.(From wikipedia)

info:
Lee Oscar Lawrie (October 16, 1877 – January 23, 1963) was one of the United States' foremost architectural sculptors and a key figure in the American art scene preceding World War II. Over his long career of more than 300 commissions Lawrie's style evolved through Modern Gothic, to Beaux-Arts Classicism and finally into Moderne or Art Deco. His work includes the details on the Nebraska State Capitol building in Lincoln, Nebraska and some of the architectural sculpture and, his most prominent work, the free-standing bronze Atlas (installed 1937) at New York City's Rockefeller Center.

===============================
In Greek mythology, Atlas was the primordial Titan who supported the heavens from the ranges now called Atlas. Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia or Klyméne
"Now Iapetus took to wife the neat-ankled maid Clymene, daughter of Ocean, and went up with her into one bed. And she bare him a stout-hearted son, Atlas: also she bare very glorious Menoetius and clever Prometheus, full of various wiles, and scatter-brained Epimetheus."
Hyginus emphasises the primordial nature of Atlas by making him the son of Aether and Gaia. In contexts where a Titan and a Titaness are assigned each of the seven planetary powers, Atlas is paired with Phoebe and governs the moon. He had three brothers — Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius.

I'm flagged. That means even how high are the views,comments and faves on my photos, I will not reach Explore. Flickr believed the noise made by a few accusing me and others who frequent Explore and Front Page of cheating. Shame on you Flickr for believing them.
Actually Explore is not so important to me. But after a day of answering back the hundreds of comments on my photo, seeing my work In Explore is very rewarding.
And so, from now on, I will not be posting my best photos here but upload them to another photo site.
Sorry if I cannot comment back on all those who commented on my previous photo. I am spent.
