Looks like the chef was doing a bit of multitasking!
One of the standard things they do on a cruise is give you a cooking demonstration. It gives the chefs a chance to show off their skills and it's an advert for all the specialty restaurants onboard the ship.
The demonstration we saw was held in the Atrium, at the spot where they usually have someone playing some light jazz in the evening. The chef saw the piano and decided to whip out a little tune while he was waiting for his presentation to start.
Niccy and I just got back from a 2 week cruise down in the Caribbean, a trip that was supposed to be in the UK but thanks to the whole covid fiasco that was not meant to be. We were on the P&O Britannia and as we quickly found out we were the only Americans aboard! We had a good time, got to see some new ports and enjoyed the weather.
It's a fairly noisy shot but my camera isn't known to be the best when it comes to a high ISO. Thinking back I suppose I could've fired off the onboard flash to fool the camera since the light wouldn't have made any difference in the shot.
These two guys knew the score and they knew HOW to score!.
Our first stop in Miguel Aleman was at the Escuela Primaria Juan N. Alvarez aka the local grade school. The people are very proud of this school which is for the children of the folks working at the banana factory.
As we got off the van everyone was given a plastic bag with some school supplies in it, along with some candy. The school supplies and candy are donated by the tour company, their way of giving back to the school for hosting our group. The school supplies are given to the teachers, the candy to the kids.
The kids put on a dance recital for us, after which they came and introduced themselves (in English). As a reward you gave the kid a piece of candy. Most the kids were a little shy but then there were The Hustlers.
These two knew what was going on and they were pretty much running from tourist to tourist looking for a score. I saw what they were doing and when the kid on the right hit me up and I asked him ¿dulces por favor? which means "candy please?"
I felt a little bad because his jaw dropped to the floor. He reached in his pocket, pulled out a sucker and handed it to me. I handed it back to him and said "Gracias mi amigo. Es una broma!" which means "Thank you my friend. It's just a joke!" The smile came back and he said "OK!" and ran off to find his next victim. Yeah, I did give him an extra piece and the kid on the left really did have green teeth from the candy.
In Puerto Chiapas Mexico we signed up to take a tour outside of the port area. We went to a place called Miguel Aleman

right down on the border of Mexico and Guatemala. Miguel Aleman is a company town but the people who live there own the company. Their main revenue stream comes from growing and packaging bananas for export.
A Deadhead or Dead head is a fan of the American rock band the Grateful Dead. This is the modern day version.
If you're curious here's an interesting Wikipedia entry on the whole phenomenon:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadhead
Part of the reason we left our tranqul settting at Fort Tuthill and moved to a better place. There was a huge cloud of "Smoke" that wafted it's way over the dividing line (fence) and invaded our space. Smelled like someone was burning a hippie!
BTW, please don't zoom in to the lady on the left and her legs. I'm not sure that even a medical professional could explain it!
This is what you get when you take the road less traveled!
I've got to credit Niccy with this shot, if not for her I wouldn't have got it.
For some reason she decided she wanted to stray off the paved path and have a look over the edge. Me being the dutiful husband decided to follow along so that I'd be able to identify the spot where she tumbled over the edge. Boy was I surprised....
Looking over the edge she said "look over there...". Sitting there were a couple of California Condors, just hanging out and enjoying the view. I fired off a couple of shots, this was the best of that series. There were a couple of others hanging out in an old tree, you can see them in the previous shot.
n 1982 there were only 22 California Condors left in the world. In 1992, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), with its public and private partners, began reintroducing captive-bred condors to the wild. In 2001 the first wild nesting occurred in Grand Canyon National Park since re-introduction. In 2002 there were only 8 pairs of wild nesting birds population-wide. In 2008, for the first time since the program began, more California condors were flying free in the wild than in captivity. Today there are nearly 500 – more than half of them flying free in Arizona, Utah, California, and Baja Mexico.
Watering Hole:
(Noun)
A social gathering place, such as a bar or saloon, where drinks are served.
It seems that the water faucet @ Tuthill had a bit of permanent leak which was well known by the locals. We had birds, bees, and a squirrel that stopped by to quench their parched throats.
I'm not photographing bees and the squirrel must've been a tweaker (as squirrels seem to be), so this is the best I got. My usual shooting style, see something and fire away!
BTW, I have NO idea what kind of bird this is, my guess is a Black Bird???

This isn't Ranger Smith and the guy on the ground isn't Yogi Bear!
Another scene we came across while strolling down the Sacramento River Walkway Trail.
Now I'm not sure exactly what happened but it appears that the fellow on the ground might have been selling some sort of agricultural product that the Ranger didn't approve of. I'm only guessing this because of the way the other Park Ranger was tossing this guy's car! We didn't stop to see the outcome but when we came back by they were gone and the car was locked up tight!
Big things come in small packages!
The BARBADOS II (IMO: 9229221) is a Tug and is sailing under the flag of Barbados. Her length overall (LOA) is 30.82 meters and her width is 10 meters.
The Barbados II in Bridgetown, out doing what she does best. We've been to Barbados several times so the Barbados II is like an old friend, and I look forward to seeing her again!
If you're on a cruise and happen to hit this port keep an eye out for her!
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a well known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!

Folks on this trip did like dressing up for dinner!
Once again, the ship's photographers giving me the chance to get a shot that I like!
This was the first formal night onboard the Britannia and people were dressed to the nines.
Sailing with Holland America we're used to some folks dressing for formal nights, in fact we've done it ourselves but this was completely different. I would say the majority of the guests were wearing fancy dress and making Niccy and I look like the schlubs by the side of the road.
I'll agree that it's nice to dress for dinner every now and then but not so much when we're on a cruise. This is our time to get away from formalities and convention, time to hang out and just enjoy life without any expectations. I've got Niccy to finally understand that we don't know any of these people and we'll never see them again so there's no one to impress here. It goes against her being a professional and always trying to present a professional image though. You can call me a bad influence, I call my self a realist!

This is NOT the way to try and fund your next vacation!
Niccy and I just got back from a 5 day trip up to Northern Arizona. It's a nice way to get out of the Tucson heat and into the mountains where it's cool, cool, cool. Only a 5-6 hour drive so it's affordable as well.
The first stop on our journey wound up being the Mazatzal Casino in Payson, AZ:
They allow RVs 72 hours of parking in their back lot for no charge which is my kind of price.
Of course there's no amenities (water, sewer, electricity) but there is a gym nearby where you can shower and it's very safe since it's a casino and there's cameras everywhere! Lots of truckers use it as a stop in their travels as well.
To pay the casino back for letting us stay we decided to go in and drop a few bucks on their slot machines. Having worked in the gaming industry I know why they're called "One Armed Bandits" but for some reason Lady luck decided to smile down on us. In total the casino payed us $250 to camp out in their parking lot overnight and to that we say thank you very much!
One of the few shows that Niccy wanted to see onboard.
Every night onboard there's a performance in the theater. Sometimes It's a comedian, maybe a ventriloquist or magician, or possibly a production show. The production shows aren't too bad for the most part, think way, way off Broadway or maybe Far East End London! This was one that Niccy "thought" she wanted to watch but after a few minutes she decided her time would be better spent at the Adult Arcade, aka the Casino.
This was a good trip in that I really stepped up and out when it came to taking control of my camera. The majority of the shots I got were done in manual (M) and I'm trying to keep any editing down to just a crop or two.
I'm pretty proud of this shot since it was shot handheld in a dark theater with ISO 800, f/5, and 1/50s on the clock. Having the stage lit certainly helped with the ISO. I don't like the black piece in the upper left hand corner but it was part of the stage rigging.

1985 until 1990 - Renovation of the Steward's House by Albrecht Laubis.
Carrier of the monument protection price of Baden-Wuerttemberg 1992.
The Steward's House (Vogtei),
a remnant of the old Castle of Dettensee, was built around 1585 by Christof Ladislaus Count of Nellenburg.
One can assume the castle was built at the same time.
The Vogtei building was designed in the Renaissance style with beautiful gables, window-frames and cross-bars, and a so-called “lying roof-truss”.
-
The exact design of the castle is unknown; but one can be pretty sure that, apart from having twice its size, it looked very similar to the Vogtei.
There has been some speculation that it was a water castle (a castle surrounded by a moat), but this is highly unlikely since the cellar vault would have been below water level. However, there probably was a moat on the southern side of the construction.
The exact place of the Zehnt barn (Zehnt, Latin Decima = tenth part of a peasant's crop and income, to be paid as tax to the government) is unknown; both the place of the modern townhall and the modern priest's house are possible.
The castle complex once had at least three towers, with a fourth one begin uncertain. Of these towers, one has survived, here on the right side.

prächtige Farben: Polfilter circular von hama verwendet!
Kennen Sie die Werbeplakate, auf denen Sie extrem satte und kräftige Farben, dunkelblauen Himmel sowie saftiges Pflanzengrün sehen? Verantwortlich dafür ist meist ein Polarisationsfilter. Er sorgt für eine reine und intensive Farbwiedergabe, indem er Reflexe eliminiert. Und wo man keine Reflexe sieht, kann man die Eigenfarbe des fotografierten Gegenstandes besser sehen und fotografisch festhalten.
Ebenso lassen sich Spiegelungen und Reflexe auf nichtmetallischen Oberflächen wie Schaufenstern, Brillengläsern, spiegelnden Wasseroberflächen etc. mit diesem Pol-Filter einfach "wegdrehen". Sie können von außen durch Fenster sehen, wo ohne Polfilter nur Spiegelungen erkennbar wären, diese werden bei passendem Betrachtungswinkel fast vollständig entfernt (der Effekt ist wirklich verblüffend). Sie können Fische im Wasser fotografieren, obwohl sie sonst wegen der Spiegelungen niemand sehen kann. Mit einem Polfilter vermeiden Sie außerdem Blauschleier und Brillanzverlust, verursacht durch UV-Strahlung. Ein extra UV-Filter ist bei aufgesetztem Polfilter also unnötig.
Polfilter funktionieren sowohl mit analogen, als auch mit Digitalkameras, sie sind auch sehr gut für Videokameras geeignet.
Ein Polfilter wirkt gleichzeitig als leichtes Graufilter, da ungefähr 2 Blendenstufen Licht "geschluckt" werden.
Noch etwas technisches: der Polfilter ist circular polarisiert, damit auch Ihr Autofokus und Ihr Belichtungsmesser weiter Ihre Arbeit machen können, bei linearen Polfiltern gibt es wegen der in den Geräten verbauten Strahlenteiler oft Probleme, da deren Wirkprinzip auch auf Polarisation beruht ... Hier kein Problem: das Licht, welches diesen Zirkular-Polfilter verläßt, ist nämlich zirkular polarisiert und verhält sich am nächsten Polfilter wieder wie nicht polarisiertes Licht

saturated colors , improves depth in your pictures
also UV filter integrated
eliminates reflections, especially from glass and water
Do you know the advertising posters on which you extremely rich and vibrant colors, dark blue sky and lush green plants to see? Responsible for this is usually a polarizing filter. It makes for a pure and intense color by reflexes eliminated. And where you do not see reflections, we can recognize the color of the photographed object look better and photographically hold.
Can also be reflections and reflections on nonmetallic surfaces such as windows, glasses, reflective water surfaces, etc. with this pole filter simply "wegdrehen". You can from the outside through the window, where no Polfilter only reflections would be visible, they are suitable for viewing angle almost completely removed (the effect is really amazing). You can shoot fish in the water, although they would otherwise because of the reflections nobody can see. With a polarizer can also avoid blue veil and Brillanzverlust caused by UV radiation. An extra UV filter is attached Polfilter therefore unnecessary.
Polfilter work with both analog as well as digital cameras, they are also very well suited for video cameras.
A polarizer, while acting as a light Graufilter since about 2 stops light "swallowed" are.
Still somewhat technical, the circular polarizer is polarized, so that your auto and your exposure meter continue your work can make for linear polarizing filters are in because of the devices assembled beam splitter often problems, because their mechanism of action is based on polarization ... There is no problem: the light which this circular polarizer leaves is circularly polarized and behaves in the next Polfilter again not as polarized light
