I tested the GX8's AFC (Auto Focus, Continuous) for the first time and I'd have to say it's satisfactory though maybe not as good as the 7D Mk II's AI Servo (but then again, it could be because I was panning with the Olympus lens at its effective long-end focal length of 600mm).

I continuously stopped along this road to take pictures; I was amazed at the physical beauty of the Dead Sea. The rocky mesas on the left in this picture reminded me of the mountains along I-70 between Eagle and Gypsum, Colorado. My friend in Israel saw the pictures I came back with and I could see how sad they made him. The water used to reach the edge of the road, barely visible in this picture along the base of the mountains. However, within the last decade, desalinization of the Dead Sea has drastically reduced water levels.
Malaga, municipality of Spain, capital of the Province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia.
Malaga Coordinates 36°43′10″N 4°25′12″W.
Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. According to most scholars, it was founded about 770 BC by the Phoenicians as Malaka .From the 6th century BC the city was under the hegemony of Ancient Carthage, and from 218 BC, it was ruled by the Roman Republic and then empire as Malaca (Latin). After the fall of the empire and the end of Visigothic rule, it was under Islamic rule as Mālaqah for 800 years, but in 1487, the Crown of Castille gained control in the midst of the Granada War. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum", displaying its history of nearly 3,000 years.
The painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso, Hebrew poet and Jewish philosopher Solomon Ibn Gabirol and the actor Antonio Banderas were born in Málaga.

I started this continuous photographic "study" of what I call "the Swamp" on June 27. I really wanted to share in the life of the swamp, zeroing in on dragon and damselflies. My love for the swamp started 10 years ago, and my very first image taken was of a Double-crested Cormorant; the second, a Green Heron.
So, the swamp is not "just" Odonata. It is like any other ecosystem, but special insofar as the variety of wildlife. And, as any system that can be accessed by humans, it has it's problems. Let me introduce you to one of those problems, the Western Red-eared Pond Turtle. Rangers estimate that the first PET turtles were "introduced" (abandoned) forty years ago. The population as estimated by yours truly (it's easy to count them since they all come to the bank to be fed) is 160! Yes, they fit into the ecosystem. Yes, they're beautiful ... well, as beautiful as any turtle. But how many species have been displaced by their introduction? More important, how many damsel and dragon eggs and larvae have been eaten by them? Greenies and egrets might capture a dozen in a summer: they're after fish. Pied-billed Grebes, American Coots, and dabbling ducks (Mallards) eat vegetation, but they're residents and natural to the pond.
So, our ecosystem is a microcosm of what remains of the larger Mt. Diablo wildlife area. Live and let live? I guess. I've fought the battles over the introduction of non-native species. So I'll just continue enjoying what the pond(s) afford me from nature and photographic standpoints.
One more story: I used to hike the foothills of Mt. Diablo. There are 11 good size ponds just in the northwest area. Two of them had Blue Frogs and goliath (small "g") Bullfrogs - see below - some weighing over a pound. No one knows where they came from, and no one knows where blue bullfrogs are "natural," but they are as invasive as boa constrictors in the Everglades. They ate residents, even the Leopard Frogs, and there was a point when you wouldn't see a dragonfly or damselfly. And then, in 2016, I saw a Great Blue Heron happily gobbling these huge frogs! By the end of that summer - word must have gotten out in the GBH community - there were NO frogs at all. Then the drought took hold, and the two ponds that held these monsters dried.
What goes 'round, comes 'round? All these words and outrage, and I kinda miss the blue bullfrogs...
there are obstacles in my way.
this is my sister when we went out on a shoot together a couple months ago. just wanted to share one of the many shots i took that day, and to show you that i don't only take pictures of myself, which many people may think. :)

Comb-creasted Jacana
Scientific Name: Irediparra gallinacea
Description: The Comb-crested Jacana, also known as the Lotusbird, has a red fleshy forehead comb, a black crown, back and breast and brown wings. The belly, face and throat are white, and there is a faint yellow tinge around the eye and throat. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the female is larger than the male, and slightly brighter in colour. In flight, the long legs and toes trail behind the body. Young Jacanas resemble the adult birds, but are rufous to black on the head and nape, and have a rufous-black breast band. The red fleshy comb is much smaller and darker.
Distribution: Comb-crested Jacanas occupy coastal and sub-coastal regions from the Kimberleys, Western Australia, through northern Australia to about Grafton, New South Wales. They are more common in the north of their range. The species also occurs in New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Habitat: Comb-crested Jacanas are found in tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands, including lagoons, billabongs, swamps, lakes, rivers, sewage ponds and dams, providing there is adequate floating vegetation.
Seasonal movements: Comb-crested Jacanas will move to new locations, particularly in response to changes in their current habitat, such as droughts or excessive flooding.
Feeding: The Comb-crested Jacana feeds on aquatic insects, which it seizes from floating vegetation or the surface of the water. It also feeds on seeds and aquatic plants. Birds rarely come to shore. When searching for food, the Comb-crested Jacana bobs its head and flicks its tailed continuously.
Breeding: The female Comb-crested Jacana may mate with several males, while the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and cares for the young. If danger threatens the young birds, the male has the curious habit of picking the chicks up under his wings and carrying them off to safety.
Minimum Size: 20cm
Maximum Size: 23cm
Average size: 21cm
Breeding season: September to May (later in the north than in the east)

The Union House Hotel is the oldest continuously operated hotel in the area. The hotel was begun just one year after a catastrophic fire destroyed almost all of the older commercial buildings on Broadway. The fire consumed three of the city's older hotels, creating a demand for lodging that led Nicholas Altmayer to construct this hotel beginning in 1883. Two years later, Altmayer doubled the size of the building and in 1903 his son, Fred Altmayer, added a third story.

Union House Hotel is located in De Pere, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The hotel was originally run by brothers Nicholas and Fred Altmayer. In 1918, August Maternoski purchased the building. Additions have been made to the hotel in 1885, 1903, 1918 and 1922. It the oldest continuously operated hotel in the area.

De Pere (pronounced locally as "dee-peer") is a city located in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 23,800 at the 2010 census. De Pere is part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area. At the arrival of the first European, Jean Nicolet, who visited the place in 1634–1635, De Pere was the site of a polyglot settlement of several thousand attracted by the fishing at the first rapids of the Fox River. In 1671 French Jesuit explorer Père Claude-Jean Allouez founded the St. Francis Xavier Mission at the last set of rapids on the Fox River before it enters Lake Michigan. The site was known as Rapides Des Pères (rapids of the fathers) which became modern day De Pere. Originally De Pere consisted solely of the community on the east side of the river; however, in 1890 the City of West De Pere, on the west side of the river, consolidated with the city of De Pere to form a single community. St. Norbert College, which abuts the banks of the Fox River on the city's west side near the Claude Allouez Bridge, was founded by Norbertine Abbot Pennings in 1898.

The sacred fire was a flame that was kept continuously burning in the council house of each village, and was used to light all household fire. On October 1, 1838, minus the few hundred members of the Ridge-Watie Treaty party that had already departed for Indian Territory, the Cherokee council met at Red Clay for one final time before the Trail of Tears begun.
While most of the Cherokee Nation was forcibly removed to what is now Oklahoma, a few hundred Cherokee managed to avoid the dragnets of the federal and state forces and flee into the wilderness, eventually forming the Eastern Band of the Cherokee. In 1951, members of the Eastern Band decided to retrace the Trail of Tears, eventually returning from Oklahoma with a flame (in a bucket filled with charcoal) taken from the new Sacred Flame. In 1984, the first joint secession of the Oklahoma and Eastern bands of the Cherokee in 146 years was held at Red Clay, where this eternal flame was created, using the same fire as the 1951 flame.

Well, I finally made it today! Today I was finally able to step foot on the Great Smoky Mountains, specifically Cades Cove. Up and on the road before the sun was thinking of waking, we we're able to enter the park at first light.
I'm told that this is normal and can cause a lot of lines to enter, but today, the colder weather seems to be keeping a lot of people away, for me however, this is still a nice break from the winter we've been having up in Ottawa and with the sun shining it was absolutely gorgeous.
I believe we're heading back to a different part of the park tomorrow with more water streams and such, looking forward to playing with my ND filter again.
Also, I was warned that there would be bears; I didn't see any... I'm not sure if this should disappoint me or comfort me? Maybe they were just stalking me and I didn't notice?
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Liberty Cap
Mammoth Hot Springs
Yellowstone National Park, WY
06-11-24
Processed: 01/10/25
From NPS: "Liberty Cap is 37 feet (11 m) tall. It was created by a hot spring that was active in one location for a long time. Its internal pressure was sufficient to raise the water to a great height, allowing mineral deposits to build slowly and continuously for perhaps hundreds of years.
Liberty Cap was named in 1871 by the Hayden Survey because it resembled the peaked knit caps symbolizing freedom and liberty during the French Revolution."
St Edmund's in Southwold is a Grade I listed parish church and is considered to be one of Suffolk's finest. It lies under one continuous roof, and was built over about 60 years from the 1430s to the 1490s; it replaced a smaller 13th-century church that was destroyed by fire. The earlier church dated from the time when Southwold was a small fishing hamlet adjacent to the larger Reydon. By the 15th century Southwold was an important town in its own right, and the church was rebuilt to match its power and wealth.

Picked this up at a local garden center in the Spring and have been so happy with it. It has continuously bloomed all summer long and even as Fall approaches it's still in full bloom. It is a tropical shrub (zones 9a to 10b) so I'll be overwintering it indoors.

This is a relatively modern rock cut symbol in the shape of a continuous triple spiral. Such a design is often linked to Bridget reverence. Saint Bridget to some people is an amalgamation of a Celtic styled goddesses and the character and life of a Saint. The two sources together making a religious figure that enabled reverence of different faiths to be joined in a single figure open to both faiths. The spiral here is close to prehistoric symbols and also to William Wallace’s hide out cave near Gorton House. The Wallace Cave is on the opposite escarpment to what are referred to as General Monk’s Battery and somewhat East of Rosslyn Chapel and Rosslyn Castle on a route from Rolsin Country Park to Hawthornden Castle.
Please to note that there are other places that have a Wallace Cave and also Wallace’s Caves. The known journeys in between slighting that is damaging defensive positions that Wallace and other forces could not garrison against their enemy show that Sir William Wallace could have spent time hiding is many remote locations and may have taken shelter in many caves across Scotland. The various caves now designated as being used by him have different historical details and each can be enjoyed on their own merit. Then there are ideas of King Robert Bruce and his times in hiding including his interaction with a determined inspiring spider.

Single, continuous long exposure through welding glass- in case you're interested, flickr now positions EXIF info on each photo page just beneath the tags.
This is not intentionally a selective colour image- it really was a bleak, colourless day; conditions which combined with the removal of the (horrendous) colour cast from the welding glass to leave the image as it stands before you. Look closely and you'll see areas of rust and flaking blue paintwork on the railings, for instance.

La Plaza de Santa Ana es una pequeña plaza anexa a la Plaza Nueva. Se encuentra al pie del barrio histórico del Almanzora en la ciudad española de Granada, comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, justo enfrente de la iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana, al comienzo de la Carrera del Darro,
La plaza se redujo inicialmente al compás de la iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana, que había sido erigida entre 1540 y 1560, en el emplazamiento de la antigua mezquita del barrio situada a los pies de la Alhambra, en la margen izquierda del río Darro. Junto a esta plazoleta de entrada al templo se encontraba el puente de los Barberos, que años más tarde sería conocido como el puente de Santa Ana. Esta estructura facilitaba la comunicación entre la margen derecha del río Darro y los barrios situados en su margen izquierda. En 1878, debido a las continuas inundaciones que sufría la ciudad, se acordó canalizar el río entre la Plaza Nueva y la Iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana. Este proyecto determinaría la configuración actual de la plaza, pero supuso la demolición completa del antiguo viaducto.

The Plaza de Santa Ana is a small square attached to Plaza Nueva. It is located at the foot of the historic district of Almanzora in the Spanish city of Granada, autonomous community of Andalusia, just in front of the church of San Gil and Santa Ana, at the beginning of the Carrera del Darro,
The square was initially reduced to the iron-barred compass of the church of San Gil y Santa Ana, which had been erected between 1540 and 1560, on the site of the old mosque of the district located at the foot of the Alhambra on the left bank of the river Darro. Next to this small square at the entrance to the temple was the bridge of the Barbers, which years later would be known as the bridge of Santa Ana. This structure facilitated communication between the right bank of the River Darro and the neighbourhoods located on its left bank. In 1878, due to the continuous flooding that the city suffered, it was agreed to channel the river between Plaza Nueva and the Church of San Gil and Santa Ana. This project would determine the current configuration of the square, but involved the complete demolition of the old viaduct.
The Anomaly is a continuous process of learning
The deep space anomaly represents a fundamental challenge to our understanding of the universe, a continuous process of learning, adapting, and responding to phenomena that defy conventional explanation. It serves as a constant, stark reminder of the inherent fragility of our perceived reality and the immeasurable, unknown forces that lie beyond the ordinary confines of human comprehension.
Navigating the intricate complexities of such an anomaly is not about conquering it, for its power and nature often exceed our capacity for domination. Instead, success hinges on a profound understanding of its characteristics, a deep respect for its immense power, and a commitment to constantly evolving our strategies to coexist with its unpredictable and profound influence. This necessitates a paradigm shift in our approach to exploration and discovery, moving beyond mere observation to a dynamic engagement with the unknown, fostering a mindset of continuous adaptation and intellectual humility in the face of truly alien forces.

After our half day at Tehachapi, we escape the continuous rain into amazing storm light as we drive towards Trona for a second attempt at photographing them going through the Trona Pinnacles in light. As we all are looking along the right of way of the Lone Pine Branch which is directly left of us, we see the UP Searles local heading back from Searles after picking up their cut on what’s left of the Lone Pine branch past Searles. I swing a u-turn and dart it to Phillips road which was the closest crossing we can make it to before the train came into view. As we were preparing for the shot, we noticed a rainbow in the background which made for an amazing picture with the storm light and the huge rainbow in the distance as the train came towards us at full throttle.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Casa Lleó Morera is a building designed by noted modernisme architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, located at Passeig de Gràcia 35 in the Eixample district of Barcelona. In 1902 Francesca Morera assigned Lluís Domènech i Montaner to remodel ancient "casa Rocamora", built in 1864. She died in 1904, and the building was named after her son, Albert Lleó i Morera. The building is located on the corner of Carrer del Consell de Cent, and is one of the three important buildings of Barcelona's Illa de la Discòrdia ("Block of Discord"), and it is the only building of the block awarded Barcelona's town council's Arts Building Annual Award (Concurso anual de edificios artísticos), obtained in 1906. The building lost some of its most representative elements, such as the tempietto on its top (now restored) and the ground floor and mezzanine's architectural sculpture. The building is also known as the residence of Cuban-Catalan photographer Pau Audouard.
The building was not only the result of an architectural project, but —common practice in Catalan modernism architecture—, several artists collaborated with Domènech i Montaner so as to make a complete artwork, inspired in natural and organic motifs: Lluís Bru and Mario Maragliano were responsible of the mosaic work, Eusebi Arnau made the sculptures, Antoni Serra i Fiter elaborated the ceramics, and Gaspar Homar designed the decoration and the furniture.
It has been considered that Morera's family wanted to leave trace of their lineage with the continuous references to their family name (Morera, which means mulberry tree in English) in the decoration. Some examples are the mulberry tree found in the patio, the mulberry motifs of the door handles or the portraits made by Antoni Serra in the second floor.
The façade and ground floor of the building were decorated with big and varied modernist ornaments, with some outstanding sculptures by Eusebi Arnau surrounding the entrance, which represented two couples of feminine figures holding vases. Those sculptures were installed on double pairs of columns made of pink marble, and under the gallery of the first floor, other feminine heads could be found. On the first floor, aside the windows, two couples of feminine figures can also be found, showing several objects related to the technological improvements made in that period, such as the phonograph, electricity, telephone and photography. Barcelona's official chronicler Lluís Permanyer stated that this building is like "a scaled Palau de la Música Catalana."
The building has been considered one of the best examples of modernisme architecture, but Noucentisme supporters performed several modifications to the original structure. In 1943, Raimon Duran i Reynals signed a refurbishing project for the ground floor, designed by Francisco Ferrer Bartolomé according to an assignment by Loewe so as to open a store. This project included the disappearance of the modernist windows and the ground floor feminine modernist plant boxes made by Eusebi Arnau, which were destroyed on the sidewalk using picks. The building caretaker later recovered the feminine heads, which were sold to Salvador Dalí, who installed them in Figuere's Teatre-Museu Dalí's patio.
In the mid-1980s, architect Òscar Tusquets was commissioned to restore the building. The pinnacles and the tempietto at the top of the structure, severely damaged by machine guns during the Spanish civil war were restored, and the ground floor damage was partially recovered. The building underwent another restoration process in 1992, and was bought by Grupo Núñez y Navarro in 2006, responsible for another restoration operation. In 2007 the building was put on the Art Nouveau European Route.
In April 2012 the most recent restoration project was completed, focused on the ground floor. Several elements such as the carriage entrance, several columns and some mosaics were recovered.
