Just out of the workshop...wheels are place-keepers (Open Pro rims will be swapped for more in keeping Module E) and drive train needs some "fettling".
The flight plan of life can sometimes malfunction - my wife tripped and fell from a taxi on returning to her hotel during a work event in Bristol, UK. She broke both arms which required 5 hours of surgery using plates and screws to repair the damage.
My flight plan for flickr has definitely veered off-course, but between the caring role now given to me, I will try and post a few images to soothe my troubled brow.
I can’t believe it myself… although my house is less than 500 meters from this dam… this is the very first photo that I’ve ever taken there!??
Okay… I know… the highlights are blown… and the (off-centered sun) composition really sucks! Thing is… I quite like the way that the (flared) sun is reflected in the dam… and I really love the way that the creeping shadows have already covered half of the grassy area in the foreground! A few seconds after I took these shots… and I was standing in the shade!
This Vertorama took me forever to process… the sun and its reflection were so bright that it was impossible to correctly expose for the bright bits while still retaining some details in the shadow areas. I ended up requiring five differently exposed images to correctly express the full dynamic range of this scene.
Nikon D300, Sigma 18-200mm at 18mm, aperture of f14, with a 1/320th second exposure.

Usando un filtro polarizzatore circolare
A cinque mesi dal terremoto in Abruzzo c'e' molta gente che non ha ancora una casa e neanche la speranza di averne una prima che sopraggiunga il rigido inverno aquilano.
Lettera dei terremotati a Napolitano:
«La verità è che restiamo senza case»
Boston, MA
I used a circular polarizer filter
Five months after the earthquake in the Abruzzo region (Italy) which killed over 300 people, injured 1600 people and left with no house 65.000 people, there are still a lot people which do not have an accomodation (house) and neither a hope to have one before the cold Abruzzo winter (the region struck by the earthquake is one of the coldest in Italy). Prime minister Berlusconi preferred to favour the construction of new houses outside the towns which will house only 15.000 instead of the reconstruction of old buildings. There is no certainty on when these new houses will be completed. To do so 30.000 people have been forced to live in camps inside tends suffering the hot summer months for 5 months. Up to now the new houses have not been completed yet, the reconstruction of buildings has not even started and campsites have been started to be dismantled because of the approaching winter. Some people will be relocated in close hotels (especially the one with childrens) but most of them will be relocated far from their native land. People wants to reconstruct their land but the government will not let them do just because Berlusconi want to show off its supposedly great skills in facing the emergency just like in the occasion of the G8 summit (btw yesterday he proclaimed himself the best prime minister Italy ever had in 150 years). Of course since the 90% of media in Italy is controlled by Berlusconi people in Italy will never know anything about this reality. They see only what the government want them to see. Fortunately there are journals (the same journals heavily criticized in these days by Berlusconi) which from time to time update people about this situation. However only a few minority of people have idea of what it is going on.
This is why it's called The Lotus Pond. This small pond is FULL of towering Lotus flowers and their beautiful huge leaves.
This pond is nestled at the end of a trail, on one side is a wide-open field letting in lots of sunshine. On the other side are woods with more trails waiting to be explored.
Those trails will have to wait because we always stop here to enjoy all the sights and sounds of nature.

Offshoot outing to the Camargue
In the Camargue the star of the show is the bull, He has his 10 minutes in the ring, where the young men try and take the ribbons from his horns or the rosette from his back. There is a balletic quality of man against beast where only the man risks injury. The bull then returns to his pasture uninjured and lives to show his 10 minutes of majesty and prowess again and again.
