While shooting at the prison there were some old prints from the 30's hanging on the wall. One was the prisoners being marched across the yard - I compiled with one of the prison cell levels.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Compilation of images from Ranthambore Tiger Preserve in Rajasthan India. While the tiger marking its territory is cool I wanted to draw particular attention to the deer – if you can zoom in check out the eyes and you’ll notice 2 moths – 1 under each eye. It’s not a great picture but bizarre to see moths feeding on what I can guess are the tears of the deer! Insects are renowned for their strange tastes in food, but rare are those that feast on tears. When researchers announced back in the 1990’s that certain moths drank tears, their news was greeted with skepticism. Some entomologists thought it a freak behavior, but subsequent research has revealed tear drinking to be a specialized and sophisticated strategy. Moths that drink tears are fussy in their tastes, restricting their attentions to certain species of animal. The usual victims are either hoofed mammals, like the deer pictured here.
So many beautiful close ups today, I mean really close up! They are to be admired and I didn't think I could compete there. So I went for something colourful. This is an empty cosmetic bag or whatever it is supposed to be and I always liked the colours and I liked the way the tassel feels. I had it lying on another bag with an equally nice tassel but decided not to overdo it and use the blue bag as background.
My compilation video of a Barred Owl family is now complete-there are several very cute and amusing clips - I hope you enjoy it!

Was als Einzelobjekt unscheinbar anmutet, gewinnt in der Zusammenstellung erkennbar an Bedeutung.
Clean your glasses. It's not a fake :-)
Da sieht man wie sehr sich Fachkenntnisse und langjährige Erfahrung bemerkbar machen. Dieser Gärtner versteht sein Handwerk.
The work of an experienced gardener.
to awaken in a cheap room
in a strange city and
pull up the shade- -
this was the craziest kind of
contentment
and walk across the floor
to an old dresser with a
cracked mirror- -
see myself, ugly
grinning at it all.
what matters most is
how well you
walk through the
fire.
Charles Bukowski
Eine sehr weiche Farbgebung bei klarem, aber verhaltenen Licht. Manches lässt sich verwirklichen ohne stets ISO100 zu erzwingen.
A gentle gradient. Every princess would be happy :-)
I experimented with a photograph of an office building somewhere in Poland. From a forest of tetrahedrons that I had created a few weeks earlier as an experiment, I integrated one of the tetrahedrons into the image. The aim was to charmingly combine colours and shapes.
Flight pattern of a Green Heron. (A compilation of 5 different shots.). The light wasn't the best but it I was still happy to get him!
I only noticed later that Kiara had the wings on upside down.
I then decided to use the shot for this compilation image of a little angel resigned to her flightlessness whilst admiring the bird it's ability to fly...

WINNING ENTRY: 4th ART UNI INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE (MAY 2010)
I spent quite a while trying to capture the “perfect” shot of a Purple Martin, but no one individual image seemed to reach that level. So, rather than condemn them to the archives, I have gathered a dozen shots, some of males, some of females.
Lucky to encounter this talented jet ski rider this morning. Usually taking bird images,therefore something different for my photostream. Lots of winter fun on the water. The light was catching the jet ski generated waves.
Compilação de algumas coisas que temos feito, isto foi criado para algumas publicações que estão por vir, mais pra frente a gente mostra por aqui.
Compiltion of some stuff that we were doing, it was made for some publications, pretty soon we show here what it turns into.
stay tuned yo.
Aphrodisias (/æfrəˈdɪsiəs/;[1] Ancient Greek: Ἀφροδισιάς, romanized: Aphrodisiás) was a Hellenistic Greek city in the historic Caria cultural region of western Asia Minor, today's Anatolia in Turkey. It is located near the modern village of Geyre, about 100 km (62 mi) east/inland from the coast of the Aegean Sea, and 230 km (140 mi) southeast of İzmir.
Aphrodisias was named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, who had here her unique cult image, the Aphrodite of Aphrodisias. According to the Suda, a Byzantine encyclopedic compilation, before the city became known as Aphrodisias (c. 3rd century BC) it had three previous Greek names: Lelégōn Pólis (Λελέγων πόλις, "City of the Leleges"),[2] Megálē Pólis (Μεγάλη Πόλις, "Great City"), and Ninóē (Νινόη).[3]
Sometime before 640, in the Late Antique period when it was within the Byzantine Empire, the city was renamed Stauropolis (Σταυρούπολις, "City of the Cross").[4]
In 2017, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.[5]
History
Aphrodisias was the metropolis (provincial capital) of the region and Roman province of Caria.[6]
White and blue-grey Carian marble was extensively quarried from adjacent slopes in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, for building facades and sculptures.[citation needed] Marble sculptures and sculptors from Aphrodisias became famous in the Roman world. Many examples of statuary have been unearthed in Aphrodisias, and some representations of the Aphrodite of Aphrodisias also survive from other parts of the Roman world, as far afield as Pax Julia in Lusitania.[7]
The city had notable schools for sculpture, as well as philosophy, remaining a centre of paganism until the end of the 5th century.[6] It was destroyed by earthquake in the early 7th century, and never recovered its former prosperity, being reduced to a small fortified settlement on the site of the ancient theatre.[6] Around the same time, it was also renamed to Stauropolis (Greek: Σταυροῡπολις, "city of the Cross") to remove pagan connotations, but already by the 8th century it was known as Caria after the region, which later gave rise to its modern Turkish name, Geyre.[6][8] In Byzantine times, the city was the seat of a fiscal administrative unit (dioikesis).[8]
Aphrodisias was sacked again by the rebel Theodore Mankaphas in 1188, and then by the Seljuk Turks in 1197. It finally fell under Turkish control towards the end of the 13th century...WIKIPEDIA

To view more of my images, of Belton House, please click "here" ! Click any image to view large!
Belton House is a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period. The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes. Only Brympton d'Evercy has been similarly lauded as the perfect English country house. For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace. The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly completely separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls and then once again became barons, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes, yet the fabric and design of the house changed little. Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away—complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public. It is in a good state of repair and visited by many thousands of tourists each year The Brownlow family, a dynasty of lawyers, began accumulating land in the Belton area from approximately 1598. In 1609 they acquired the reversion of the manor of Belton itself from the Pakenham family, who finally sold the manor house to Sir John Brownlow I in 1619. The old house was situated near the church in the garden of the present house and remained largely unoccupied, since the family preferred their other houses elsewhere. John Brownlow had married an heiress but was childless. He became attached to two of his more distant blood relations: a great-nephew, also called John Brownlow, and a great-niece, Alice Sherard. The two cousins married each other in 1676 when both were aged 16; three years later, the couple inherited the Brownlow estates from their great-uncle together with an income of £9,000 per annum (about £ 1.17 million in present day terms) and £20,000 in cash (equivalent to about £ 2.59 million now). They immediately bought a town house in the newly fashionable Southampton Square in Bloomsbury, and decided to build a new country house at Belton. Work on the new house began in 1685. The architect thought to have been responsible for the initial design is William Winde, although the house has also been attributed to Sir Christopher Wren, while others believe the design to be so similar to Roger Pratt's Clarendon House, London, that it could have been the work of any talented draughtsman. The assumption popular today, that Winde was the architect, is based on the stylistic similarity between Belton and Coombe Abbey, which was remodelled by Winde between 1682 and 1685. Further evidence is a letter dated 1690, in which Winde recommends a plasterer who worked at Belton to another of his patrons. Whoever the architect, Belton follows closely the design of Clarendon House, completed in 1667. This great London town house (demolished circa 1683) has been one of the most admired buildings of its era due to "its elegant symmetry and confident and common-sensical design". Sir John Summerson described Clarendon House as "the most influential house of its time among those who aimed at the grand manner" and Belton as "much the finest surviving example of its class". John and Alice Brownlow assembled one of the finest teams of craftsmen available at the time to work on the project. This dream team was headed by the master mason William Stanton who oversaw the project. His second in command, John Thompson, had worked with Sir Christopher Wren on several of the latter's London churches, while the chief joiner John Sturges had worked at Chatsworth under William Talman. The wrought-ironworker John Warren worked under Stanton at Denham Place, Buckinghamshire, and the fine wrought iron gates and overthrow at Belton may be his. Thus so competent were the builders of Belton that Winde may have done little more than provide the original plans and drawings, leaving the interpretation to the on-site craftsmen. This theory is further demonstrated by the external appearance of the adjoining stable block. More provincial, and less masterful in proportion, it is known to have been entirely the work of Stanton.
