DEDICATED TO MY GOOD FRIENDS YOULA PAPAS AND HER HUSBAND VAGELIS IN LIMNI.
ΑΦΙΕΡΩΜΕΝΗ ΣΤΟΥΣ ΚΑΛΟΥΣ ΜΟΥ ΦΙΛΟΥΣ ΓΙΟΥΛΑ ΠΑΠΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΟΝ ΣΥΖΥΓΟ ΤΗΣ ΒΑΓΓΕΛΗ ΣΤΗΝ ΛΙΜΝΗ.
LIMNI - ΛΙΜΝΗ (Oct. 26th, 2014).
Limni, on the island of Evia, is a small port, beach and tourist resort, which is beautiful the whole year round. It is located 80 km NW of Chalkida and about 150 km from Athens.
The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Taken on the weekend of October 25th-26th, 2014 while my English wife Theresa Jane Brown and I were visiting friends.

They finished their 365s today.
I came back from PA yesterday. The snow melted before I could shoot in it, and then my camera battery died. Suffice it to say the trip was not successful in the photography department.
I just had to get one more photo in there for 2009!
The Desert Botanical Garden is well designed for disability access. Some of the side loops have gentle grades. There are plenty of benches throughout the Garden and plenty of shade.
This is a bench with some character for Bench Monday. Thanks to karma (Karen) for introducing me to some of these groups. HBM!
The dedication plaque reads:

"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

Dedicated to Slick (406) & Chill '94,
As two complimentary colors are in harmony, I would dare say so are two non-complimentary colors, too. Considering the former, such colors like blue and orange are the success to a Hot Imperial Crushed-Dramatic sunset. When we [rarely] think of the latter, those colors may be nearest their equals; in a sunrise, such as this one depicted, the blues offer a calm start to the unknown and infinite opportunities we get to learn and grow to simply live our lives [another day] that can intimidate us and the magenta's builds upon the blues' abilities to calm the eye but additionally adds excitement to the chill scene--allowing the frame to receive more excitement and for the eye to see and take in more beautiful moments...

I had another weird CTD today... facelight started flickering like a disco club light show... textures stretching all over the screen... so weird.
Well, at least I managed to print a few before I was sent to desktop.
Dedicated to my good friend, one of the best, to be more precise ;)
Dedicated to all my US friends caught up in the current deep freeze and snow cyclones. Getting 15" of snow when you usually get none is no joke! Stay safe, stay warm.
We can't all be as comfortable on ice and snow as this Adelie Penguin, riding down its own penguin highway on Yalour Island, Antarctica.

We had the wonderful opportunity to cruise along the Antarctic Peninsula for several days, landing on islands, cruising bays, and trekking on the continent itself. More pics to come......

This album's name is dedicated to my favourite game of all time Elder Scrolls Online and race of all time, The Argonians (reptile humanoids). There's a story for you to read below about some of them towards the bottom.
What does Ku Vastei mean? Read below
By Lights-the-Way, Mystic of the Mages Guild
It is hard to describe the culture of my people. Often my tongue stumbles as I try to explain, but it is my hope that ink and quill will give me time enough to gather my thoughts. And perhaps, though such writing, I will finally connect the parts of me that now feel so divided; my homeland of Murkmire and my new life within the Mages Guild.
These journals are to become my ku-vastei. And, as I write that, I can think of no better topic to begin with.
Ku-vastei roughly translates to "the catalyst of needed change," though such a direct translation in no way does justice to the original meaning. Another translation could be "that which creates the needed pathway for change to occur" or even "the spark which ignites the flame which must come into being."
Perhaps a more direct analysis should be first presented. Ku-vastei is a noun, a thing or person. Vastei directly translates to change, an important part of my culture. Ku is harder to speak of. It is that which leads to change, though not that which creates change. An important role, as stagnation is a fate worse than death.
Take a boulder which sits atop a cliff, teetering in place. It must fall eventually. The ku-vastei does not push the boulder off the cliff; rather, it picks the pebble which holds the rock in place. And so it falls, not by a push, but by a pathway cleared.
Ku-vastei is revered, just as change itself is revered, for to look back at what was means to stumble as you move forward. Sometimes, a little push in the right direction is all someone needs to remember such wisdom. Other times, they may need to be shoved.

Naka Desh Tribe
by Emmanubeth Hurrent, the Wayfarers' Society of Wayrest
My guide, Names-the-Orchids, took me deep into the swamp to meet a little-known tribe called the Naka-Desh, or Riverbacks. Few Imperials venture far enough into Black Marsh to meet the People of the River, and the Naka-Desh see little benefit in traveling beyond the boundaries of their Hist's roots. For that reason, most perceive them as a secretive and mysterious tribe. This misconception is made all the more amusing by the Riverbacks' boundless hospitality.
We approached the Riverbacks' territory via ferry boats. Our expedition encountered tribal sentries almost immediately. They floated to the surface of the water like turtles or crocodiles. I was struck by the wideness of their faces, the largeness of their eyes, and the broad webs adorning their forearms and throats. The Hist clearly provided the "right skin" for the locale. Riverback territory is more water than land—a drowned marsh navigable by small rafts, canoes, and little else.
Names-the-Orchids greeted them with a series of low croaks. They cheerfully repeated the sound before lifting themselves onto our boat. Neither of the sentries seemed familiar with Cyrodilic, so our guide had to interpret. She told us that the Riverbacks demanded tribute in the form of a riddle before they would grant passage. I detected no threat behind the demand. It seemed like more of an invitation than an order. I've no talent for wordplay, but I shared a children's riddle about doorknobs that practically every Imperial knows. As soon as Names-the-Orchids translated it, the two sentries clapped their hands. One of them pressed his forehead to mine, croaked twice, then both vanished into the water as suddenly as they appeared.
We spent four days among the Riverbacks—all but one of them on rafts fishing. Riverback fishing resembles traditional fishing in name only. Rather than hook and line, the Naka-Desh use large river fish called osheeja gars. Each osheeja is secured by a strange harness and bridle. When the Argonians find an abundant fishing spot, they release the predatory gars and let them snatch up the fish. As soon as an osheeja bites a fish, the Argonians pull their pets to the side of the boat and claim the fish for themselves. I asked Names-the-Orchids how it works. Apparently, the bridle prevents the gar from swallowing. She assured me that the osheejas are well-cared for, though. Until they grow too old, of course, whereupon they too are eaten.
Our time with the Riverbacks was not without frustration. Of all the Argonians I have met, the Naka-Desh were by far the least curious. Other than riddles, they had no appetite for anything we brought. They refused our food, took no particular interest in our tales, and did not even ask for our names. This disinterest combined with their boundless hospitality made most of the expedition uncomfortable. Names-the-Orchids chided us for thinking kindness demands reciprocity. As always, even these small disappointments teach us valuable lessons.
["the tribe is not currently in the game but in the world of the game"]

Dedicated to saintinexile. He photographs trees that I dream about. Check out his photostream and see for yourself. They are wicked beautiful.
While attempting to take a picture the camera slipped giving me this blur. I really liked the results when I pulled it up on the computer. Thanks Jen, I do hope you enjoy this too!
This is my 2000th image on flickr. Over the past few days I was actually thinking about which picture to upload to celebrate the occasion. When I walked past these tree trunks, neatly stacked and peeled and obviously marked with the flickr colors the choice was made.
DEDICATED TO MY BELOVED ENGLISH WIFE THERESA JANE BROWN AND MYSELF.
