"Kallo is a beacon Mäntyluoto (Pori, Finland) front of the Kallo on the island lighthouse.
First lighthouse of the Kallo on the island was erected in 1884. First lighthouse fog signaling equipment was from 1901 from hand-to-use Hansen's sirens.
The current hardware elements assembled octagonal lighthouse tower and the splendor of wood on the side of the nurse home was built in 1903.
In 1906, the manual was replaced by a ball fog siren engines and compressors working with a siren, which was built in a separate machine protection. Fog horn was seven meters long and its jaw was three meters in diameter.
Lighthouse had two separate overlapping light device, which were identified by the differing red-white flashing lights. Light System was first amended on gas, and then an electric in the 1930s, and also the fog signal was replaced by electric equipment nautofonilla.
Cranial extension of the lighthouse and the red splendor of wooden housing is a Finnish nurse photographed lighthouses, the lighthouse Marjaniemi addition, it is the only lighthouse in which where you can drive a car."

GR III #3: "GR" for GReen ;-) Another one from the (masked) family walk around one of Berlin's most beautiful lakes, the Krumme Lanke. Some lush green, before I'll continue with new architecture from Berlin's inner city (the "cube berlin") next week. I hope this isn't too
vivid and colourful, I know that on some monitors, and especially smartphone or tablet screens, this will probably look much brighter and very vivid, but on my monitor it's just right (yes, I know there are devices / methods for monitor / colour calibration, but... and it's also for Sliders Sunday, so...). Regarding the sliders, I HRDified this in Aurora HDR, tweaked the "Orton Clean" Glow filter in ON1 to my liking, and also tweaked the colours. As I'd mentioned in my description for my previous picture, I must have used "Highlight Weighted Metering" for all the photos I took on that walk, because the bright, sunny and cloudless sky was never blown out, and all the shadows and dark tones were way too dark, but as usual it's always easier to brighten the shadows and dark tones in post, and I was pleasantly surprised at the remarkably clean details and bright tones I was able to get out of the dark areas of the GR III's RAW files.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy :-)
"What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
The violence of either grief or joy
Their own enactures with themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;
Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
This world is not for aye, not 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies;
The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy.
But, orderly to end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own"
Camera obscura (plural camera obscura or camerae obscurae from Latin, meaning "dark room": camera "(vaulted) chamber or room," and obscura "darkened, dark"), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen, as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.
The term "camera obscura" also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became popular as an aid for drawing and painting. The camera obscura box was developed further into the photographic camera in the first half of the 19th century when camera obscura boxes were used to expose light-sensitive materials to the projected image.
The camera obscura was used as a means to study eclipses, without the risk of damaging the eyes by looking into the sun directly. As a drawing aid, the camera obscura allowed tracing the projected image to produce a highly accurate representation, especially appreciated as an easy way to achieve a proper graphical perspective.
A camera obscura device without a lens but with a very small hole is sometimes referred to as a "pinhole camera", although this more often refers to simple (home-made) lens-less cameras in which photographic film or photographic paper is used.
The earliest known written record of the camera obscura is to be found in Chinese writings called Mozi and dated to the 4th century BCE, traditionally ascribed to and named for Mozi (circa 470 BCE-circa 391 BCE), a Han Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohist School of Logic. In these writings it is explained how the inverted image in a "collecting-point" or "treasure house" is inverted by an intersecting point (a pinhole) that collected the (rays of) light.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE), or possibly a follower of his ideas, touched upon the subject in the work Problems - Book XV, asking:
"Why is it that when the sun passes through quadri-laterals, as for instance in wickerwork, it does not produce a figure rectangular in shape but circular?”
and further on:
“Why is it that an eclipse of the sun, if one looks at it through a sieve or through leaves, such as a plane-tree or other broadleaved tree, or if one joins the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other, the rays are crescent-shaped where they reach the earth? Is it for the same reason as that when light shines through a rectangular peep-hole, it appears circular in the form of a cone?"
Many philosophers and scientists of the Western world would ponder this question before it became accepted that the circular and crescent-shapes described in this "problem" were actually pinhole image projections of the sun. Although a projected image will have the shape of the aperture when the light source, aperture and projection plane are close together, the projected image will have the shape of the light source when they are further apart.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is nutcracker. So as you can see, my picture do not represent some kind of torture device but just our old nutcracker (so maybe, in the end, it is a torture device for nuts !). You just have to put your nut in the middle and squeeze as hard as you can, and then the magic happens: you will end up with a delicious ready to eat nut. I wish you all an amazing day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
I will try to catch up on answering all your awesome comments as soon as possible !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts.
Orchhâ (Inde) - L’Inde est connu pour ses lumières fabuleuses qui donnent souvent des scènes merveilleusement colorées. Mais pour en bénéficier, il faut être très matinal ou attendre les derniers rayons de soleil pour capter ces ambiances « chaudes ». Du temps de l’argentique en dehors de ces heures extrêmes, je ne faisais plus de photos. Eventuellement, je m’autorisais quelques films en noir et blanc.
Avec l’avènement de la photo numérique, ces limites techniques - même pour le merveilleux Kodachrome 64 -, ont été repoussées. Les capteurs progressent d’année en année et gagnent en dynamique. Ce qui était impossible pour la diapositive, devient envisageable avec les appareils modernes.
La preuve par l’image. La photo ci-dessus n’aurait pas eu le même rendu avec une diapositive car l’homme était dans la lumière. La logique aurait voulu que le fond soit noir, sans le moindre détail, puisque j’ai mesuré la lumière sur l’homme. Le capteur et la mesure matricielle ont fait une remarquable analyse de la scène en restituant une masse d’informations qu’un film argentique n’aurait pu faire.
The art of striking a pose
Orchhâ (India) - India is known for its fabulous lights which often result in wonderfully colorful scenes. But to benefit from it, you have to be very early in the morning or wait for the last rays of sun to capture these "warm" atmospheres. From the time of the film outside these extreme hours, I no longer took pictures. Eventually, I allowed myself a few black and white films.
With the advent of digital photography, these technical limits encountered - even by the wonderful Kodachrome 64 - have been pushed back. The sensors are improving year by year and gaining momentum. What was impossible on the slide, becomes possible with modern devices.
The proof by the image. The photo above wouldn't have looked the same on a slide because the man was in the light. Logic would have wanted the background to be black, without the slightest detail, since I measured the light on the man. The sensor and the matrix metering made a remarkable analysis of the scene, restoring a mass of information that a silver film could not have done.

Hallo liebe Flickr Freunde, es macht mir große Probleme ein Foto hochzuladen seit gestern.
"Ein deutsches Gericht hat entschieden, dass das Hochladen von Bildern von Mobilgeräten auf Flickr ein Patent verletzt, weshalb wir die Funktion deaktivieren mussten. Ihr könnt Bilder aber weiterhin vom Desktop Computer hochladen."
Ich habe nur einen Laptop, aber ich habe jetzt noch eine Möglichkeit gefunden, dieses Foto hochzuladen, aber es wird sicher auch bald abgestellt werden.
Liebe Grüße, euer Buddylein ❤

Hi dear flickr friends, it gives me major problems uploading a photo since yesterday
"A German court has ruled that uploading images from mobile devices on Flickr infringed a patent, so we had to disable the feature. But you can still upload images from your desktop computer."
I have only a laptop, but I found yet a way to upload this photo, but it will also soon be turned off.
Love greetings, your Buddylein ❤
“What the Butler Saw” popularised from a mutoscope reel from the early 1900s. The title of this feature became widely used in Britain as a generic term for devices and movies of this kind. The phrase had entered British popular culture after the 1886 divorce case of Lord Colin Campbell and Gertrude Elizabeth Blood. The trial hinged on whether their butler could have seen Lady Campbell with Captain Shaw through the keyhole of their dining room at 79 Cadogan Place, London.

Drumhead tensioning device on a conga drum.
Image is two inches square.
The conga, also known as tumbadora, is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba. Congas are staved like barrels and classified into three types: quinto (lead drum, highest), tres dos or tres golpes (middle), and tumba or salidor (lowest). Congas were originally used in Afro-Cuban music genres such as conga (hence their name) and rumba, in which each drummer would play a single drum. Following numerous innovations in conga drumming and construction during the mid-20th century, as well as its internationalization, it became increasingly common for drummers to play two or three drums.

The story of Prague's Astronomical Clock (Orloj) is a mix of historical marvel and legendary curse.
The creator, Mikuláš of Kadaň (or Master Hanuš), was blinded by jealous city councilors to prevent him from building another masterpiece.
This lead him to sabotage the clock and curse it, causing anyone who tried to repair it to go mad or die.
The clock itself, working since 1410, is a complex medieval device showing time, astronomical positions, and zodiac signs, featuring moving figures of the Apostles and allegorical statues like Death (the Skeleton), Vanity, and Greed, which come alive hourly.
It was fun to see and hear.

(Cut to a view of the sun riding low over the ocean. Cut to Caly in her bedroom, she's already changed into black clothes, and a long, black jacket. She pushes a panel in the back wall of her closet and a compartment is revealed. She pulls out several objects just as her father enters the room. She faces him, clearly conflicted because he sees what she's holding.)
Darren: Hey, Caly. Sorry, the door was cracked so I figured it was okay to pop in?
Caly: I'm sorry. I was in a hurry. I didn't notice that it didn't lock.
Darren: You look like you're going somewhere?
Caly: You are correct. (slips the assorted devices into various pockets of the coat)
Darren: I wondered what you kept in there. (nods at the open panel)
Caly: You knew about it? (Darren nods) And you didn't look inside?
Darren: If it was something I needed to know, I figured you'd get around to telling me.
Caly: I appreciate your discretion.
Darren: When will you be back? (Caly looks at him) Will you be back?
Caly: That is my intent. (she takes a step toward the door)
Darren: Can I --? (pauses and they gaze at each other) Just in case whatever it is you're doing doesn't work out the way you want it to. (pauses) Can I say good-bye to ... my daughter?
Caly: (tilts her head) I have underestimated your perceptiveness.
Darren: (smiles) Well, you sometimes miss with the way she talks, like just then.
Caly: (nods then suddenly breaks into a smile and rushes to hug Darren) Don't worry, Daddy. We're the good guys. I promise.
Darren: (smiles as he tears up, hugging her tightly) I know. You're still here, so you must be.
Caly: (draws back) Sorry, gotta jet, but we'll do the heart-to-heart later, 'kay?
Darren: (nods) Okay.
Caly: Love you, Daddy.
Darren: Love you, tigress.
Caly: (reaches the door and pauses, looking back at Darren) I will strive to return her to you. (and they give each other a single nod, then Caly exits)

Thank you to the cast!
