Statue: built by Silas Merlin after a Degas Paint.
I designed this Mirror and configured it after Silas Merlin (J−F. Le Saint) instructions. Though it is not a real mirror, it is far closer to a real one than many others in SL. To be able to use the full feature, it requires some (little) knowledge of image editing software, and basic prim editing.
It will be the participation gift to Ville de Cœur's Spring photo contest..

Peggys Point Lighthouse (also known as Peggy's Cove Lighthouse) is in Peggys Cove and is an iconic Canadian image. It is one of the busiest tourist attractions in Nova Scotia and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is officially known as the Peggys Point Lighthouse.
Peggys Cove is a classic red-and-white lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The light station is situated on an extensive granite outcrop at Peggys Point, immediately south of the village and its cove. This lighthouse is one of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada and one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world.
Visitors may explore the granite outcrop on Peggys Point around the lighthouse; despite numerous signs warning of unpredictable surf (including one on a bronze plaque on the lighthouse itself), several visitors each year are swept off the rocks by waves, sometimes drowning.
Peggys Cove is 43 kilometers (26 miles) southwest of downtown Halifax and comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name, a name also shared with Peggy's Point, immediately to the east of the cove. The village marks the eastern point of St. Margaret's Bay.(Wikipedia)

Swissair Flight 111
Swissair Flight 111 (SR111, SWR111) was a Swissair McDonnell Douglas MD-11 on a scheduled airline flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States to Cointrin International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland. This flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.
On Wednesday, 2 September 1998, the aircraft used for the flight, registered HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggys Cove and Bayswater. All 229 people on board died—the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the second-highest of any air disaster to occur in Canada, after Arrow Air Flight 1285. This is one of only two hull losses of the passenger configured MD-11, along with China Airlines Flight 642.
The initial search and rescue response, crash recovery operation, and resulting investigation by the Government of Canada took over four years and cost CAD 57 million (at that time approximately US$38 million). The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's (TSB) official report of their investigation stated that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in a loss of control and the crash of the aircraft.
Swissair Flight 111 was known as the "UN shuttle" due to its popularity with United Nations officials; the flight often carried business executives, scientists, and researchers
Aircraft
The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, serial number 48448 registered HB-IWF, was manufactured in 1991 and Swissair was its only operator. It bore the title of Vaud, in honor of the Swiss canton of the same name. The airframe had a total of 36,041 hours. The three engines were Pratt & Whitney 4462s. The cabin was configured with 241 seats (12 six-abreast first-, 49 seven-abreast business-, and 180 nine-abreast economy-class). First- and business-class seats were equipped with an in seat in-flight entertainment system, installed at some point after initial entry into service. (Wikipedia)

Last Beam of Light. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A final beam of sunset light falls across groves of Eastern Sierra aspen groves on an autumn evening.
This is one of those locations that I feel like I should have been done with years ago. It is a somewhat iconic spot with easy access, and I have photographed it many times. But this year’s color transition seemed to follow a different trajectory than I have seen before — perhaps due to the preceding wetter-than-normal year or possibly related to relatively quiet autumn weather. In any case, it seemed like high elevation color came a bit later and overlapped the lower elevation transition more than usual. As a consequence, the color here was unusually interesting during the third week of October, so I reserved an evening to go there and photograph once again.
My plan was pretty simple. I would first visit a nearby area where I expected to find lots of bare trees, and after finishing there I would get myself in position for this location well before the best light arrived. The plan worked, and I photographed these and other nearby groves in the low angle light before the sun dropped below the Sierra crest. As more and more of the scene fell into shadow I began to think of packing up and moving on… but then I saw this one final beam of light slanting across the groves. I had literally only seconds to frame the scene, configure the camera, and make three exposures before the light was gone. In the first the beam was too bright, in the third it was nearly gone… but the middle exposure worked.

....busy bee taking advantage of the brief period of sunshine in my garden today......
...spring!.....
So an update on my computer transfer. I started it over a week ago. It did not go as planned or well. Upgraded to 32mg of RAM, I core 7 12th gen, and it was like molasses. Slower than my older 16 mgs of RAM. Spent 3 days all day on the phone with support. Got better. But still not quite right. Many other misadventures later and still not done. Nothing is configured. Photoshop is still not configured.
I am hoping to have major improvements by the end of the week or so, but am very very busy with business that I really don't know.
All this to say, that it will still be some time before I can start adding photos to Flickr regularly.
But....this is what I saw today. A splendid bee gathering loads of yellow pollen. You could tell he was delighted at the found open crocuses. My first crocuses too. Yay Spring!

Norderney, Germany, 2021.
On one drizzly evening, I decided to go on a photo walk on the beach and only shoot with my 50mm prime lens set to f/1.8 and my camera set to the "Camera Graphite" profile, a high contrast b&w profile. This way I forced myself to do the following things:
– constantly mind the shallow DoF
– accept the fact that I would almost always blow out the whites or crush the blacks due to the high contrast nature of the profile.
– get used to the fact that in monochrome photography, it is no problem if larger areas of the photograph don't hold any detail at all.
– use the consequences of the above notions to my advantage by composing accordingly.
Even though this sounds like a quite thoughtful way of shooting, it really was not. On the contrary, what can be perceived as limitations which make the process harder, is on the other hand reduction of countless more options which would have made the process more complicated. In short, I had a blast shooting in a surprisingly spontaneous and playful way. I will, however, not deny the fact that this playfulness was greatly facilitated by my camera, the Nikon Z6. Being a mirrorless system, it allowed me to see the outcome before pressing the shutter. The Nikon Z systems also allow me to configure exposure compensation to a ring on the lens which made adjusting the exposure incredibly intuitive. No fumbling around with buttons, just turning the ring – fantastic.

Enjoy!
Many trees at our elevation are at their autumn peak right now. At 12:39 today, October 20, the BNSF Provo-Lincoln approaches 72nd Avenue (mile 10.2) in Arvada, Colorado, on UP's Moffat Tunnel Subdivision. The leader is badly-faded 5378, a 17-year BNSF veteran in need of new paint. I am glad the trees had color, the engine didn't. The train was configured 3+2. Photo by Joe McMillan.

Anoche subimos a la sierra buscando un poco de fresco para mitigar los calores nocturnos de la ciudad. Nos llevamos el bocadillo del que dimos buena cuenta después de un pequeño paseo. Mientras cenábamos pudimos comprobar que, a pesar de la fuerte contaminación lumínica que envuelve la zona, podíamos disfrutar de las estrellas. Incluso se veía la Vía Láctea. Me animé y monté el trípode, y después de dos o tres disparos de prueba, configuré la cámara en el modo Live Composite. Treinta y un minutos fueron suficientes. Como herramienta de iluminación utilicé la linterna del móvil. He usado una segunda foto para corregir algunos fallos de iluminación del suelo. (_8281255 copia)
Last night we went up to the mountains looking for a bit of cool to mitigate the nocturnal heat of the city. We took the sandwich that we had a good account of after a little walk. While we had dinner we were able to verify that, despite the strong light pollution that surrounds the area, we could enjoy the stars. Even the Milky Way was visible. I went ahead and set up the tripod, and after two or three test shots, I set the camera to Live Composite mode. Thirty-one minutes was enough. As a lighting tool I used the mobile flashlight. I've used a second photo to correct some ground lighting glitches. (_8281255 copy)

Anadolu (L-400) is an amphibious assault ship of the Turkish Navy that can be configured as a V/STOL (vertical and/or short take-off and landing) aircraft carrier. It is named after the peninsula of Anatolia (Turkish: Anadolu) which forms the majority of the landmass of Turkey. Construction began on 30 April 2016 in Istanbul, TCG Anadolu was commissioned with a ceremony on 10 April 2023.
The ship has a 5,440 m2 (58,600 sq ft) flight deck and a 990 m2 (10,700 sq ft) aviation hangar which can accommodate either 12 medium-sized helicopters or 8 Boeing CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift helicopters. When the aviation hangar and the light cargo garage are unified, the ship can carry up to 25 medium-sized helicopters. Alternatively, the ship can carry up to 10 American-made F-35B STOVL fighter jets and 12 medium-sized helicopters, with the possibility of hosting six more helicopters on the flight deck of the ship.

The Jewel-like 1959 Porsche 718 RSK “Center-Seat” Spyder, Coachwork by Wendler. Developed from the iconic 550 Spyder (the one that James Dean notoriously died in), the 718 RSK was Porsche’s effort to pursue sports car racing and Formula 2. The model is significant in that it could be configured as either left-hand drive or center steering. The 718 RSK received its K designation through the adoption of revised torsion bars bearing a K shape.
“The 718 RSK built on the success of the earlier 550A with wins against larger, more powerful cars, and it is a hugely important part of Porsche’s early racing history. Fewer than 40 RSK models were built in 1959, and each received a DOHC four-cylinder engine ranging in size from 1.5 to 1.7 liters, rated at 148–160 horsepower, and mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
It's first recorded race was an overall victory in the March 3, 1959 Leopoldville (sports cars) Grand Prix in what was then known as the Belgian Congo where he vanquished John Love in a Jaguar D-Type (OKV 8, an ex-works 1954 Le Mans car), André Pilette in a Ferrari 250 TR and Mike Bond in the 1955 Le Mans class-winning Aston Martin DB3S (EMU 3).
To give some hint of it's value, in the early 90's it was sequestered in a Dayton, Ohio garage in the care of a well-known car-sleuth noted for discovering and preserving epic Mercedes-Benzes of the Thirties. It languished there until 1993 when the consignor - a prominent Ohio based collector of exceptional European sports cars - finally pried it from its owner's possession in a trade that involved a BMW 507 and a pair of Mercedes-Benz 300 SLs, a Roadster and a Gullwing Coupe.
This model has consistently sold at auction for between $2.5-5.5 Million dollars.

And what a morning for a first outing with a new camera, the mist was lovely then some rain and the mist got a bit thicker later in our walk.
First impressions with the R5, well what an amazing camera still feeling my way around the menus and setting it up. Configuring the menu to a few of my most commonly used tabs to save time hunting the menus, I`ll post a macro tomorrow of some bits I found in a field .

The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is officially known as the Peggys Point Lighthouse.
Peggys Cove is a classic red-and-white lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The light station is situated on an extensive granite outcrop at Peggys Point, immediately south of the village and its cove. This lighthouse is one of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada and one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world.
Visitors may explore the granite outcrop on Peggys Point around the lighthouse; despite numerous signs warning of unpredictable surf (including one on a bronze plaque on the lighthouse itself), several visitors each year are swept off the rocks by waves, sometimes drowning.
Peggys Cove is 43 kilometers (26 miles) southwest of downtown Halifax and comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name, a name also shared with Peggy's Point, immediately to the east of the cove. The village marks the eastern point of St. Margaret's Bay.(Wikipedia)

Swissair Flight 111
Swissair Flight 111 (SR111, SWR111) was a Swissair McDonnell Douglas MD-11 on a scheduled airline flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States to Cointrin International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland. This flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.
On Wednesday, 2 September 1998, the aircraft used for the flight, registered HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggys Cove and Bayswater. All 229 people on board died—the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the second-highest of any air disaster to occur in Canada, after Arrow Air Flight 1285. This is one of only two hull losses of the passenger configured MD-11, along with China Airlines Flight 642.
The initial search and rescue response, crash recovery operation, and resulting investigation by the Government of Canada took over four years and cost CAD 57 million (at that time approximately US$38 million). The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's (TSB) official report of their investigation stated that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in a loss of control and the crash of the aircraft.
Swissair Flight 111 was known as the "UN shuttle" due to its popularity with United Nations officials; the flight often carried business executives, scientists, and researchers
Aircraft
The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, serial number 48448 registered HB-IWF, was manufactured in 1991 and Swissair was its only operator. It bore the title of Vaud, in honor of the Swiss canton of the same name. The airframe had a total of 36,041 hours. The three engines were Pratt & Whitney 4462s. The cabin was configured with 241 seats (12 six-abreast first-, 49 seven-abreast business-, and 180 nine-abreast economy-class). First- and business-class seats were equipped with an in seat in-flight entertainment system, installed at some point after initial entry into service. (Wikipedia)

Castillo de Berlanga de Duero, Soria.
El castillo tardomedieval presenta planta rectangular, en la que destaca el cubo de planta circular, en uno de sus ángulos, y la torre del homenaje en el extremo opuesto. En el interior, dos patios articulan el espacio, uno a la entrada más sencillo y otro, de carácter residencial, supuestamente, configurado como un patio porticado con columnas góticas y en el centro un aljibe con un corredor que lleva al depósito de agua. Esta construcción se ha conservado parcialmente, aunque estuvo proyectado su derribo integral, como consecuencia de la construcción de la fortaleza artillera de principios del siglo XVI. Los frentes anterior y laterales están reciamente fortificados y protegidos por los cubos delanteros, mientras el flanco posterior se encuentra guarnecido por el profundo barranco.
The late medieval castle has rectangular floor plan, in which the cube of circular plant stands out, in one of its angles, and the tower of the homage in the opposite end. In the interior, two courtyards articulate the space, one to the simpler entrance and another, of a residential character, supposedly configured as a porticoed courtyard with Gothic columns and in the center a cistern with a corridor leading to the water tank. This construction has been partially conserved, although its integral demolition was projected, as a consequence of the construction of the artillery fortress of principles of century XVI. The front and side fronts are heavily fortified and protected by the front hubs, while the rear flank is trimmed by the deep gully.
New York-New York Hotel & Casino is a hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, USA, designed to evoke New York City in its architecture and other aspects. It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International. New York-New York Hotel & Casino is located at 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South, in Paradise, Nevada. It uses the New York City influence of its name in several ways. Its architecture is meant to evoke the New York City skyline of the 1940s era; the hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City towers such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. In front of the property is a replica of the Statue of Liberty, and replicas of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Main Immigration Building on Ellis Island, and Grand Central Terminal. Within the resort, particular gambling areas, lounges, restaurants, and meeting rooms are named after New York City neighborhoods or landmarks. The main casino area, for example, is named after Times Square, while the eateries are modeled after Greenwich Village. At the casino, special decks of playing cards are used where the "heart" suit is replaced by apples. The resort is located on the northwest corner of the Tropicana – Las Vegas Boulevard intersection. At street level, pedestrians are blocked from crossing by concrete barriers. Instead, it is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos to the south (the Excalibur, across Tropicana Avenue) and to the east (the MGM Grand).

Selsey Lifeboat Station was a notable landmark in Selsey, West Sussex. The 1958 boat house, pictured here in 2009, was demolished in 2017. At the time it housed the 48-foot 6in Oakley Mk.II boat "Charles Henry".
Selsey Lifeboat Station is located on Kingsway in Selsey, a town approximately 13 km south of Chichester, at the southernmost point of the Manhood Peninsula, overlooking the English Channel. A lifeboat station was established at Selsey by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1861.
The boathouse was rebuilt in 1958 with reinforced concrete as the old structure had become unsafe due to years of coastal erosion. The deep water roller slipway was re-configured to have a gradient of 1:5, and the station was given a newly fabricated steel approach gangway from the shore.
A new boathouse was constructed for the Inshore lifeboat in 1987. In 2011, the RNLI celebrated Selsey's 150th anniversary as a continuously active lifeboat station.
In the summer of 2017, a new boathouse was built on shore at the Kingsway, which allowed all elements of the RNLI at Selsey to come together on a single site for the first time. The old station was demolished and removed between June and July 2017.

On Wednesday, 2 September 1998, the aircraft used for the flight, registered HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggys Cove and Bayswater. All 229 people on board died—the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the second-highest of any air disaster to occur in Canada, after Arrow Air Flight 1285. This is one of only two hull losses of the passenger configured MD-11, along with China Airlines Flight 642.
The initial search and rescue response, crash recovery operation, and resulting investigation by the Government of Canada took over four years and cost CAD 57 million (at that time approximately US$38 million). The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's (TSB) official report of their investigation stated that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in a loss of control and the crash of the aircraft.
Swissair Flight 111 was known as the "UN shuttle" due to its popularity with United Nations officials; the flight often carried business executives, scientists, and researchers

The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, serial number 48448 registered HB-IWF, was manufactured in 1991 and Swissair was its only operator. It bore the title of Vaud, in honor of the Swiss canton of the same name. The airframe had a total of 36,041 hours. The three engines were Pratt & Whitney 4462s. The cabin was configured with 241 seats (12 six-abreast first-, 49 seven-abreast business-, and 180 nine-abreast economy-class). First- and business-class seats were equipped with an in seat in-flight entertainment system, installed at some point after initial entry into service. (Wikipedia)
