I was asked by a friend to provide a scale.
This is Esja, 914 metres high at its highest (which I believe to be right there to the left of center), and if my calculations are correct, that's a couple of feet shy of 3000 feet. That yellow thing there in the sea to the right of center is a buoy, which I estimate to be about 15-20 feet high.
It might not be apparent unless you check out the largest version, but there are a number of chicken farms (some of which are fairly large) there on the land above the seacliffs behind and to the left of the buoy.
In the midst of blizzard-like conditions, the ducks of Brookside Gardens seemed to be unbothered by such matters. So perhaps the title really should be: Content Ducks Cold Photographer.

Looking east down the mid 13c south aisle to the lady chapel altar once the site of an important shrine which was enclosed by a parclose screen and upon the plaster walls here are the remains of medieval paintings of the nativity of Christ, gathering of the apostles at the death of the Virgin, Funeral of the Virgin, St Catherine, St Margaret and St John the Baptist.
By c1690 the chapel had become the burial place for the St Johns who built the present hall.

It's easy., at this remove from eighty years later, to believe that the end of the second world war meant that the world enjoyed immediate and stable peace.
Nothing could be further from the truth: there were fears of the war continuing as a struggle between the democracies of the West and the Communist bloc, with nuclear weapons able to annihilate entire cities. Britain prepared by building its own nuclear deterrent, whilst to protect the civilian population it rebuilt the ARP function - now known as Civil Defence, or CD. It also needed people to join the Auxiliary Fire Service and as Police Specials - fully qualified, but on-call, firefighters and Police.
The Civil Defence Corps, the auxiliary Fire Service and the Police needed recruits - thousands of them. Local authorities up and down the country were responsible for full and part-time posts to observe incoming aircraft, or look after areas of each town to rescue survivors and help the Police keep order in a post-apocalypse Britain.
Bolton Corporation used a fairly imaginative way to raise awareness and gain recruits for its CD unit, Fire Service and Police. Withdrawn Leyland bus number 186 was taken into the paint shop where the Corporation Transport's craftsmen gave full head to their creative talents, with this amazing advertising livery. 186 was driven around Bolton to drum up recruits - we don't know how successful it was in Bolton, but we do know that it was always a struggle to get CD recruits as the pay was very low and as time went on, its relevance faded as the Cold War settled into a semi-stable, sullen sense of mutual destruction.
By then 186 had also lost its relevance - after a time promoting Civil Defence, 186 was sent to the scrapyard. You can still see preserved Bolton buses, not least number 77 of 1956 which is now in the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester.

These kids were so good to pose for me. They didn't mind at all. I told them they would be on flickr.
So winter is here in Texas. After a wonderful thanksgiving weekend in Ft Worth and Houston I am back here in Lubbock. I was quickly displayed with another strange piece of Southern decor.
Truck testicles.
Yes, these are little aluminum things that people hang from whatever vehicle they drive letting all know that this vehicle is their penis.
While heading home after a bit of time at the library i was lucky enough to have a red light to allow some time to snap a photo of these cold testicles.
They must be, why else would they have a warmer?

This was the last shot I took as we were leaving the old pier in Lachine. The wind was chilly, and the cold front almost overhead.
Just made some fabulous cold-brewed coffee - I'm gonna be in iced coffee heaven from here on out!

A destroyed bank building on Failaka island. I did many versions of this HDR panorama and here, the panorama was stitched again using a Wide View perspective and also merging HDR slides using Tungsten WB instead of the original WB (Daylight). In HDR phase and before baking the panorama, adjustment layers were added to separate the cold and warm tones between the ceiling and the whole scene. Tone-mapping (baking) added a bit of dramatic light into the scene.
