On Thursday I took a wander up to Corndon Tor on Dartmoor. This was the first time I'd visited this tor and the area looked gorgeous covered in Heather and Gorse.
About 50 yards or so up from the road sits Cave-Penney Cross. It's a memorial to Evelyn Anthony Cave-Penney, who was shot dead by an enemy sniper whilst leading his troops in Palestine on June 8th 1918.
Cave-Penney was a lieutenant in Queen Victoria’s Own Corps of Guides who can be argued were one of the most famous regiments of the Indian Army. He was only 19 when he was killed.
There is an inscription on the other side of the memorial that reads...
"TO THE GLORY OF GOD
AND TO THE DEAR MEMORY OF
EVELYN ANTHONY CAVE PENNEY
LIEUT. Q.V.O. CORPS OF GUIDES
FELL IN PALESTINE WHILST
GALLANTLY COMMANDING HIS MEN
JUNE 8TH 1918 AGED 19
LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS"

It's time for a vacation in the Greek islands, the Turkish Riviera, or the mysterious Bulgaria. There are planes flying from the airport Vaclav Havel in Prague. I wish all the finishers OK. Not like Paris!

Vzpomínám na krátké antré v Megapixel a již neexistujícím Photoserveru. Většina těch vymatlaných blbů, co tam působili, by kritizovali neprokreslenost. Princip této fotky je tma. Tedy neprokreslenost. Fotka nemusí být ani ostrá, ani prokreslená, ani kompoziční, fotka je vaše a vy tím něco sdělujete a podobné kokoty pošlete do prdele! Venceremos!
you and i we are many and we are few
we come together at times like these
we look up and down and all around
and what do we see
cross roads
we see north south east and west
we are all just trying to do our best
and yet which way will we go
no one knows.
i suggest we stand in the middle
i suggest we look at these cross roads
we are all in the middle of the cross
some will go north, some south, others east and the rest west
but know that whichever way you go your cross is right now
carry it well carry it with bravery carry it fearlessly
why some may say
who are you
i am you, i am us, i am they.
they must know that the cross has been given us as a gift
we opened it at Easter
we looked into it's core and we saw who bore it.
those who carried their cross are giving us a chance
they are examples of our fate
it's not too late.
carry it well and know that the one's who went before us
are cheering us on from the bleachers.

Make no mistake it was 7F. I wasn't out for cross country skiing but was surprised to see others were. I just got out of the car for 5 minutes to take some shots, realized my body temperature was dropping too fast and went back to the car for my coat, hat and gloves. They didn't help,
You may have to zoom in a little bit to find the skier. Taken with my favorite 7artisans fisheye 10mm.

The physical diffraction and light scattering effects on spider webs depend on many things, like incident light angle, thickness of the threads (and thus the spider species) and so on.

The island Pulau Pinang could be reached only by Ferry, from Butterworth at the mainland. Today two bridges are conecting Butterworth and Penang island.
