I was going to try out my new you beaut travel tripod today, but it was so windy I had to use my old one.... so they make them that heavy for a reason!
Hasani seems to be contemplating how he can visit Kelly's troop in the next enclosure. He and his roommate and half-brother Jabari will often stand up tall on their stone structure to try to catch a peek at neighbor Lowland Gorillas Kelly, Rapunzel, Glenda, or Evelyn.
Hasani was born October 12, 1994 to father Gino (born in 1980 in Rotterdam and now located at the Disney Animal Park) and Benga (born April 21, 1971 in Chicago LP and now located at the Disney Animal Park). Gino is a great Silverback and was in high demand for awhile. His parents were wild born Ernst who resides in Spain's Fuengirola Zoo and wild born Salome who died November 24, 1999 at the Givskud Zoo. Benga's parents were wild born Kisoro, who died September 24, 1986 at the Denver Zoo, and wild born Helen who resides at the Louisville Zoo.

Greetings mate! I love voyaging forth to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park to contemplate poetry, physics, the golden ratio, and the Tao te Ching! What's your favorite epic poetry reflecting epic landscapes? I recently finished a book titled Epic Poetry for Epic Landscape Photographers:
www.facebook.com/Epic-Poetry-for-Epic-Landscape-Photograp...
Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!
www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a ofurth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

I think contemplation is a good thing to do during the weekend. Just having thoughts and reflections, positive and perhaps some less positive, and taking the time to arrange and reflect on them.
So, have yourself a thoughtfuLL and reflective weekend! I know I certainly will...
Cheers,
AJ

From a head full of pressure rests the senses that I clutch
Made a date with Divinity, but she wouldn't let me fuck
I got touched by a hazy shaded, God help me change
Caught a rush on the floor from the life in my veins

Complimenting the wonderful food was the great scenery streaming by the whole time. It is hard to beat this train for an enjoyable sight seeing experience.
On Monday, July 25 we hopped a train from Winnipeg to Abbotsford (close to Vancouver). We traveled sleeping class having booked lower and upper berths. It was absolutely fabulous. A great, relaxing, comfortable, interesting and tasty way to travel. Our only complaint was that 2 days is too short a time.
Summer in Canada with Panda.
Kat & I got up at 5:30am and made our way down to the lounge car (the one with the big windows that go up into the roof) so that we could catch a good view of Mt. Shasta in the morning. It was quite striking.

Just getting some thoughts out.
First, I'm not sure how to feel about this Smug Mug acquisition and there's no point in scrolling the comment threads about it. On the one hand, Yahoo was already acquired so I guess this isn't a surprise. On the other hand, you never really hear about Smug Mug so I'm not sure how this is going to be better. Plus, the terms and conditions of the 'new' Yahoo basically say, we're data mining you and sharing it everywhere. So what now - is Smug Mug going to legally own our photos?
I would hate to stop using Flickr even in the sporadic way that I do, but I may have to shut this down. Maybe it's time to just do a blog. Things have changed here at Flickr even without the recent news, and while it's not a huuuge deal, I have noticed that the 'like' behavior of so much social media has extended here too. Used to be that people would comment on photos that they liked - yes, even though they were 99% generic comments - and I personally used my Favorites as a curation of what I considered outstanding photos.
Now people 'like' just to say 'I saw this photo and I'm acknowledging that,' in the same way you 'like' an above-average tweet. There's no commitment there, no personal interaction. I recently got an Explore, and whereas five years ago when that would happen, I'd have 50+ comments, now I've got 93 likes and 1 comment. Times have changed. And I'm not going to pretend that comments aren't important to me. I don't take extreme measures to get them, obviously, but comments are the currency of creative social media (blogs, etc).
So maybe it's ok if I move on from Flickr. I will of course miss seeing new stuff from my actual friends here, but everything changes, and as I get older I see more and more how that is ok.
I'm not decided yet. Just...contemplating.
The car is completely gorgeus and the background of Barcelona is also nice. You can see the Sagrada Familia.

Angie, contemplating whether or not to try to scale these peaks. No, these are man killers and were once know as the "Death Bells".
Shot Candid on a Drive me and Ashwin took on a Sunday to Pondy and Auroville. This was at the Pondy beach. Its not like the chennai beach. Its full of rocks and not really safe to tread into. This girl and her friend were at the rocks and she stood there, probably mesmerized by the effect of the ocean and the rocks and the moss in there.
I have no idea what she was contemplating but she stood there for long, even after i packed up and left.
