Many thanks to Rob and Eddie who told me how to get this shot from the bank of the river at the top of the image. What a splendid walk it was to get there.
So, we finally got to a computer that was capable of running the Spore Creature Creator. We've only used the free trial edition at this point, but, as expected, Sophia and Enzo created a series of interesting creatures. See some of them in this set. My personal favorites are Whale, Human and Pickle (my name for that one).
Balloon is my favorite of all – in no small part because The Red Balloon was one of my favorite films while growing up and is still in my top ten. I haven't seen this one yet though.
Spore Creature Creator is now highly recommended by us and we are all looking forward to playing the game Spore (more here) when it is released in September. By then we will have upgraded our operating system and should have no problem.
CN is still capable of producing a surprise now and then. It's been years since there was a Geep in the mix of power on the road trains. I saw this GP38-2 on the point of L517 in the early morning hours. I wanted to at least record the occasion when it came back on L516 even through it would be trailing. They made it back before dark even though the shadows were getting a little long by the time they came through town. My guess is the four axle was a last minute substitution the night before. Indeed it only made the one trip.

Budapest, Jewish Quarter
Erzsébetváros
Budapest is a living history, and few streets are capable of taking you back in time like Király utca, which divides District VI and District VII.
Before World War II, Király utca (King Street) was one of Pest’s grand boulevards and central shopping streets. Jewish and gentile shop owners sold haberdashery, cut hair, sold jewelry and foodstuffs. There was actually a trolley that ran up and down the cobblestone street, ferrying shoppers from one end to the other.
Strolling down Király these days, you will come across many unique small shops and unique spaces, including used book stores, pubs, and design stores. At Király 19, if the gate happens to be open, go to the back of the builiding, through the passageway, and you will find the last remaining portion of the ghetto wall that kept many of Budapest’s Jewish population contained during the Nazi occupation.
Despite the Nazis’ retreat, the dangers in the ghetto persisted, and this was a very dangerous street to be found on. Jews were hunted day and night by the blood-thirsty, virulently anti-Semitic Arrow Cross party, a Hungarian militia who took it upon themselves to finish the job the Nazis started. They killed an estimated 25,000 Jews in the brief period from 1944-1945, during and after the Nazi occupation.
Scanning the buildings, you can spot pock marks in the facades. These are bullet holes are from building-to-building urban warfare, most likely during the Siege of Budapest in WWII, when the city was taken from the Germans block by block. Though the street is not named for him, Imre Kertész was one of the Jews from Budapest who was rounded up and deported, sent to Auschwitz first, then eventually imprisoned in Buchenwald. His novel Fatelessness was a fictionalized version of that upheaval, and would contribute to his winning of the Nobel Prize in literature, Hungary’s first.
Much of the history of ‘King Street’ is tragic. But the street itself is still alive with activity and commerce – and is visually captivating as always.

It is a large tree, capable of reaching heights of up to 50 m (160 ft) tall and 3 m (9.8 ft) trunk diameter, though more typically 25–35 m (82–115 ft) tall and up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) trunk diameter. A 10-year-old sapling will stand about 4 m (13 ft) tall. It has a typical lifespan of 150 to 200 years, though sometimes up to 300 years. 30 years are needed to attain full maturity (as compared to 40 for American beech). Like most trees, its form depends on the location: in forest areas, F. sylvatica grows to over 30 m (100 ft), with branches being high up on the trunk. In open locations, it will become much shorter (typically 15–24 m (50–80 ft)) and more massive.

The Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) is a large constrictor originally native to parts of Southeast Asia. The species, capable of growing to over 20 feet long and weighing several hundred pounds, now also call the state of Florida in the Southeastern United States home. The snakes were first imported into the United States due to demand for the exotic pet trade. Wild populations subsequently became established in South Florida from animals that either escaped captivity or were intentionally released. With no natural predators to keep their population in check, it is estimated that over 100,000 of the massive snakes now inhabit the Everglades wetlands. Researchers have documented the pythons preying on more than 70 different animal species, many of which are endangered and found nowhere else. This has placed the sensitive ecology and biodiversity of the Everglades in peril — so much so that local authorities now ask members of the public to participate in annual hunts of the invasive reptiles in order to control their numbers and save native wildlife.

I enjoy the emergent features in my body breeding, the way my hands close on you, the way my eyes are capable of describing the colourful and seedy scenery that surrounds me. Inside and outside of the light-filled bubble I inhabit your blood keeps me warm, your crushed watering voice lives in my womb and I save the foggy memories for the day next.
Out in the streets the eyes my teeth rip apart, the casual shoulders my fingernails slash, the shining invisible my chest touches, out of the blue the time lapses and the washed out colours induced by the smoke are gone. Holding a pencil with two fingers a view from the dwarf-magnolia tree to the entry curtains, I can feel both the life and waves between my fingers bordering to abyss and the dying quakes of cars going by.
The back of my spine tingles when I think of you, framed in the morning when all residents walking their dogs and homeless still hang out at Logan and cars and I feel like a fool with the sun trying to keep me from going to bed, twirling and jumping. There must be stages between love and monstrosity that I do not know. When this will be over and there will be no more work to do you will tell me what they are.
I go to the front garden, feeling too heavy to take myself out, yet unable to stay indoors. I like the view through the main gate, a framed and layered low angle view of the ground at the bottom. I hear you screaming in the late hours when all returners have returned, forth and around through these alleys and corridors where clients have established themselves with their habits and friends.
The sunset lasts forever with one german family in towels winding up carelessly on the benches. On the open-ended scale of fun the neighbours are curious to draw. Sidewalks are turning grey, heavy and wet. Eyes are sticking onto the poles and staying there. I stare at you and poles start swinging. Walking right into the water, focusing my fangs on your neck.
A girl busy with her juice while ownership and waitresses and options are discussed, the trends, the future plans. In time and days the crowd changes. Age, hair and colours change, music fades into music as the disco at the other end preps for another round. I pull the door open. Tilting my head towards the stars I raise my arms up to my head closing them together until my hands meet. Everything turns into nothing.

Going to post a few 'normal' pics for a while, working on something which is taking up all my spare time, plus we have Christmas around the corner.
The CAA-20 “Minotaur” was a light Anti-tank assault gun designed to support airborne troops.
The vehicle was armed with a powerful 90mm Anti-tank gun capable of destroying every threat known at the time by the Esthian Empire. This came with the cost of a very thin armour protection and a small stock of 30 rounds on board.
The vehicle also had a 7,62mm machine gun and a 20mm Anti-aircraft gun.
About the MOC:
The Minotaur was the first design of my recent trend to build land vehicles, which makes it somehow basic. However, I still think the vehicle deserves to be shown.
It´s based on the Soviet ASU-85 vehicle.
Hope you like it!

Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language signals are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side. The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, such as a cow.
Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting, away to say hello to another creature during mating but most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching more sun to warm up or a breeze to cool off. So it's important to see "the big picture" when reading Iguana body language.

They are capable of rapid movement on the ground. Small individuals may climb trees to escape, but larger ones prefer to escape on the ground. They can climb well. On the ground, they sometimes stand on the hind legs to get a better view or when males fight other males. They can also swim well and can stay submerged for at least 17 minutes. They can use both trees and bushes for shelter
Bengal monitors are usually solitary and usually found on the ground, although the young are often seen on trees. V. b. nebulosus has a greater propensity for tree climbing. The two sympatric species Bengal and Yellow Monitor partially separated their habitat as Bengal Monitor prefers Forest over agricultural areas. Bengal monitors shelter in burrows they dig or crevices in rocks and buildings, whilst clouded monitors prefer tree hollows. Both races will make use of abandoned termite mounds. Bengal monitors, like other varanids, show true sleep at night and are diurnal, becoming active around 6 AM and bask in the morning sun. During winter, in the colder parts of their distribution range, they may take shelter and go through a period of reduced metabolic activity. They are not territorial, and may change their range seasonally in response to food availability.
They are usually shy and avoid humans. They have keen eyesight and can detect human movement nearly 250 m away. When caught, a few individuals may bite, but rarely do so.
Although, they are also found on agricultural land, they prefers forest with large trees.Generally, high ground cover with large trees are favorable areas
Captives have been known to live for nearly 22 years.Predators of adults include pythons, mammalian predators and birds. A number of ectoparasites and endoparasites are recorded.
Au milieu des années 1950, BMW était au seuil de la faillite : la production de motocyclettes reculait dramatiquement. Côté automobile, les grands véhicules comme les types 503 et 507 étaient produits en pure perte, en raison d’une conception trop compliquée. « L’objectif premier était donc d’intégrer au programme une voiture capable de renflouer les caisses le plus rapidement possible », explique Axel Klinger-Köhnlein, expert du BMW Group Classic.
BMW avait donc besoin d’un nouveau modèle sans pour autant pouvoir se permettre de dépenser des fortunes dans son développement. La solution a surgi au salon de l’automobile de Turin en 1954 : une voiture 3 roues équipée d’une immense porte frontale était exposée sur le stand d’Iso Rivolta, un fabricant italien de réfrigérateurs et de mini-voitures. La délégation de BMW acheta les droits de licence sur cet engin baptisé Iso Isetta ainsi que les installations de production.
Dans un premier temps, BMW dut « affiner » le moteur et le châssis du petit bolide italien, comme l’exprime Axel Klinger-Köhnlein. Après avoir été modifiée par les développeurs de BMW, habitués aux hautes performances, la technique de l’Isetta est toutefois restée modeste : le moteur à quatre temps de la moto R25, un monocylindre de 250 cm³, amélioré pour être plus régulier, fournissait exactement 12 CV à la BMW Isetta 250 au début de la production en 1955.
Lorsqu’il a fallu baptiser la petite voiture, BMW s’est inspirée de ses racines italiennes. Isetta est le surnom traditionnel d’Iso. En revanche, alors que la version originale ne comptait que trois roues, l’Isetta allemande en aura quatre. En 1956, le fabricant bavarois lance la BMW Isetta 300 avec une cylindrée de 300 cm³ et 13 CV sous le capot. Dans sa version plus puissante comme dans l’autre, le petit bolide parviendra à effectuer des pointes à 85 km/h.
Pour cette nouvelle création, les responsables du marketing de BMW inventèrent le terme de « Motocoupé ». Le public ne tarda pas à trouver un surnom à la petite Isetta, baptisée « pot de yaourt ». Sur de courtes distances et en ville, cette héroïne du quotidien n’avait pas son pareil pour se faufiler dans le trafic. Avec une longueur de seulement 2,28 mètres et un poids plume de 350 kilogrammes, elle était plus agile et flexible que n’importe quel autre véhicule. Les deux passagers adultes prenaient place côte à côte, comme dans une vraie voiture – un atout que nulle autre micro voiture n’était en mesure d’offrir.
La porte frontale s’ouvrant devant, semblable à celle d’un réfrigérateur, permettait de s’asseoir aisément dans l’habitacle. Le volant et la colonne de direction prenaient alors la tangente avec la porte. Seuls les bagages devaient rester à l’extérieur, sur un support fixé au hayon arrière. Le public l’avait bien compris : l’Isetta n’était pas une limousine qui avait rétréci au lavage, mais une voiture inédite, arrivée sur le marché au bon moment. La « micromobile » des années 1950 a ainsi marqué son époque.
In the mid-1950s, BMW was on the verge of bankruptcy: motorcycle production was falling dramatically. On the automotive side, large vehicles such as the 503 and 507 types were produced at a loss, due to an overly complicated design. "The primary objective was therefore to integrate into the program a car capable of replenishing the funds as quickly as possible", explains Axel Klinger-Köhnlein, expert of the BMW Group Classic.
BMW therefore needed a new model without being able to afford to spend a fortune in its development. The solution arose at the Turin Motor Show in 1954: a 3-wheel car equipped with a huge front door was exhibited on the stand of Iso Rivolta, an Italian manufacturer of refrigerators and mini-cars. The BMW delegation bought the license rights to this machine, baptized Iso Isetta, as well as the production facilities.
At first, BMW had to "refine" the engine and the chassis of the small Italian racing car, as Axel Klinger-Köhnlein puts it. After being modified by the BMW developers, used to high performance, the technique of the Isetta remained modest: the four-stroke engine of the R25 motorcycle, a 250 cc single-cylinder, improved to be more regular, provided exactly 12 CV to the BMW Isetta 250 at the start of production in 1955.
When it came to christening the small car, BMW was inspired by its Italian roots. Isetta is Iso's traditional nickname. On the other hand, while the original version only had three wheels, the German Isetta will have four. In 1956, the Bavarian manufacturer launched the BMW Isetta 300 with a displacement of 300 cc and 13 HP under the hood. In its more powerful version as in the other, the small racing car will manage to perform peaks at 85 km / h.
For this new creation, BMW marketing managers coined the term “Motocoupé”. The public was not long in finding a nickname for the little Isetta, baptized “yogurt pot”. Over short distances and in the city, this everyday heroine was unrivaled when it came to weaving through traffic. With a length of only 2.28 meters and a featherweight of 350 kilograms, it was more agile and flexible than any other vehicle. The two adult passengers sat side by side, like in a real car – something that no other micro car was able to offer.
The front door opening in front, similar to that of a refrigerator, made it easy to sit in the passenger compartment. The steering wheel and the steering column then took the tangent with the door. Only the luggage had to stay outside, on a rack attached to the rear hatch. The public understood it well: the Isetta was not a limousine that had shrunk in the wash, but an unprecedented car, which arrived on the market at the right time. The "micromobile" of the 1950s thus marked its era.

Ce sont : la vallée de l'Adour de Payolle, la vallée de l'Adour du Tourmalet (toutes deux s'unissent à Sainte-Marie de Campan) et la vallée de l'Adour de Lesponne qui rejoint les deux premières à Beaudéan, en aval de Campan.

Here's a thought:
Has anyone ever wondered if birds suffer with claustrophobia?
Its fine if you’re an Osprey or a Stork and build huge open nests on the tops of trees or suitable chimneys, but what of the birds who nest in tiny spaces?
Maybe I’m overthinking it and birds are not capable of such higher thought processes. Although If that were the case, it should rule me out of the phobia I hear you say.
I was watching a tree hole that was used by woodpeckers last year and the thought occurred that the hole is pretty much the same size as the bird, it’s a bit of a tight squeeze to get into a pretty cramped space. Imagine having a tiny front door into a space where the cat gets a really bad headache if you swing it round, and trying to get through with all your Aldi shopping bags (that’d be Waitrose if you’re in the south).
Even worse if you’re a Red-billed Hornbill!
The female will protect her young against intruders by building a wall of mud, droppings and fruit pulp across the opening of the nest, just leaving a thin slit to allow the male to pass food through. Claustrophobic or what!
Picture the scene when the male has had a few too many at the ‘watering hole’ and forgets to bring the ‘groceries’ back! That’s one angry lady Hornbill! At least he’s safe outside the nest. 😳
You may be wondering what this has got to do with a ‘random’ lighthouse. I was hoping to bring you a shot of some fledgling Blue tits from the nest box in the garden, however ‘Woody’ woodfecker has put paid to that as I saw him predating the nest box yesterday. So, he’s not exactly flavour of the month, no, that would be the Blue Tit chicks!
Oh well, that’s life, sadly not for the chicks.
Incidentally, I googled ‘Do birds suffer with claustrophobia?’ and this is what I got:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3238201/Woman-claims-ove...
I’m not sure if Google is actually referring to the lady with the derogatory term ‘bird’!

The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world.
The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship. Despite the length and size of these covert feathers, peacocks are still capable of flight as I have witnessed on many occasions. This guy was knocking on my patio door today but became camera shy when I opened the door and ran off.

Moving forward, while facing backwards, like rowing a boat down a stream. Unable to see the future, but capable of examining the past. All that one can hope for is the best. Ready to move forward, blindly; but, through an optimist's perspective.
"That was a beautiful moment that so many elders never thought they’d live to see. So there are things that we don’t yet know, that we don’t think we’re going to live to see, that are also going to give us power and beauty if we hold up our own.
We rightly think that the virtue of courage requires a certain psychological flexibility. A courageous person must know how to act well in all sorts of circumstances. We recognize that there can be times in life when the stock images of courage will be inappropriate, and the truly courageous person will recognize this extraordinary situation and act in an unusual yet courageous way.
If we think of the virtues, or human excellences, as they are actually taught by cultures across history, it is plausible to expect that the virtuous person will be ready to tackle the wide variety of challenges that life might throw his way. It is unclear that there is anything in such training that will prepare him for the breakdown of the form of life itself. We would like our ethics to be grounded in psychological reality. Thus whatever flexibility is required of a virtuous person, it ought to be something that can be inculcated in the education and training of a culture. But a culture does not tend to train the young to endure its own breakdown — and it is fairly easy to see why. A culture embodies a sense of life’s possibilities, and it tries to instill that sense in the young. An outstanding young member of the culture will learn to face these possibilities well.
The inability to conceive of its own devastation will tend to be the blind spot of any culture… A culture tends to propagate itself, and it will do that by instilling its own sense of possibility in the young.
For what may we hope? Kant put this question in the first-person singular along with two others — What can I know? and What ought I to do? — that he thought essentially marked the human condition. With two centuries of philosophical reflection, it seems that these questions are best transposed to the first-person plural. And with that same hindsight: rather than attempt an a priori inquiry, I would like to consider hope as it might arise at one of the limits of human existence… What makes this hope radical is that it is directed toward a future goodness that transcends the current ability to understand what it is. Radical hope anticipates a good for which those who have the hope as yet lack the appropriate concepts with which to understand it. What would it be for such hope to be justified?"

Age-related memory loss.
The brain is capable of producing new brain cells at any age, so significant memory loss is not an inevitable result of aging. But just as it is with muscle strength, you have to use it or lose it. Your lifestyle, habits, and daily activities have a huge impact on the health of your brain. Whatever your age, there are many ways you can improve your cognitive skills, prevent memory loss, and protect your grey matter.
Furthermore, many mental abilities are largely unaffected by normal aging, such as:
Your ability to do the things you’ve always done and continue to do often
The wisdom and knowledge you’ve acquired from life experience
Your innate common sense and your ability to form reasonable arguments and judgments.

My newest FigSpit, the Bolt!
A super energized Soviet soldier, capable of running at near the speed of light and producing electromagnetic/electric bolts.
Backstory: Maxim (Max) Turgenev was a Russian maintenance man for the Soviet Union's greatest weapon: An electromagnetic super generator - capable of reversing entire mountains to simple electrons.
On a cold and stormy winter night in 1957, Max was called in to start up the generator, as the circuits had blown thanks to a lightning strike. Donning a special suit to protect himself from the dangerous electric currents, Max stepped into the generator. Thunder crackled overhead as he carefully repaired wires. Suddenly, in a blinding flash of blue, the wires turned to flames as energy from a lightning bolt surged through the generator. Max was hurled into the air as the electromagnetic fields switched on and converged; with Max in the center. The air sizzled as the very oxygen in the room disintegrated. And just as soon as it began, it stopped. The scorched corpse of Maxim Turgenev slumped to the floor with a thud.
Two days later, in the deserted ward of a secretive Russian military compound, and against the very rules of science, Max wakes up from a coma. He screams in agony, as every particle in his body vibrates at near the speed of light. Energy crackles at his fingertips and through every nerve in his body. The Bolt is born.
Hope you liked this FigSpit!

So, we finally got to a computer that was capable of running the Spore Creature Creator. We've only used the free trial edition at this point, but, as expected, Sophia and Enzo created a series of interesting creatures. See some of them in this set. My personal favorites are Whale, Human and Pickle (my name for that one).
Balloon is my favorite of all – in no small part because The Red Balloon was one of my favorite films while growing up and is still in my top ten. I haven't seen this one yet though.
Spore Creature Creator is now highly recommended by us and we are all looking forward to playing the game Spore (more here) when it is released in September. By then we will have upgraded our operating system and should have no problem.

Camera: Deardorff 8x10
Lens: 240mm Nikkor
Film: Ilford HP5+

SURAMADU BRIDGE
Modern suspension bridge capable of carrying the vehicle using two towers replacing the principal. The cable bridge hanging need tethered firmly on both sides of the bridge, since most of the load on the bridge will be borne by the tension in these main cables. As the course is connected to the main cable using other network cables strung straightened. Bridges like this only suitable for long distances, or do not allow founded pole holder for swift and dangerous currents. Bridges like this is always a nice sight. This bridge is not suitable for use by rail because it will sag caused by the weight of the train.
Elephants are capable of human-like emotions such as feeling loss, grieving and even crying. They remember and mourn their loved ones, even many years after their death. When the "Elephant Whisperer" Lawrence Anthony died, a herd of elephants arrived at his house to mourn him.
Revisiting my idea to show what different focal lengths look like, I used the Wolf Camera lens test and overlaid the lines on this mountain scene.
I placed the colored lines indicating the approximate width/height shown by the various sizes. Note how much wider the 10mm is than the 14mm or the 24mm.
Those extra few millimeters might mean getting the whole scene in view.
I hope this helps someone when looking at what lenses are capable of.
"The Time-Turner is a device capable of time travel. The Time-Turner resembled an hourglass on a necklace. The number of times one turns the hourglass corresponds to the number of hours one travels back in time. It is extremely important that the user of a Time-Turner not be seen by past or future versions of themselves."
#195/365 So the theme of this week is Harry Potter. The 3 subtle clues to yesterday's shot was...#1 The Projector was displaying the title across my wife. #2 My wife was wearing the time-turner (as seen here). #3 The title was "The Secret Riddle" which is the 13th chaper of the Half-Blood Prine (yesterday was also Monday the 13th). There you have it..in honor of the new movie which comes out this week. Happy Harry Potter Tuesday.

Winter is capable of some wonderful icy magic, but there is none I love more than hoarfrost.
Photographing it, of course, generally involves bundling up like an Eskimo and suffering frozen fingers and numb toes, but that's a small price to pay. =)

Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language signals are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side.
The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, like cattle. Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting. An extended dewlap is often used to say hello to another creature during mating and most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana that's basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching more sun to warm up or catching a breeze to cool off. So it's important to see "the big picture" when reading Iguana body language.
