Was my 3 days away from Flickr too much? I agree! I am so sorry! I am not trying to avoid my Flickr friends or anything! I am just KNEE deep into doing research for new glass! Not just any glass, a telescope for astrophotography! OH, I am on pins and needles! All I need now is the cash, I have the glass all ready picked out! UGH, why do these hobbies need to be so expensive!
Any way, here is an older image, way down deep in the archive! Because I am no longer doing the 365, I can get away with it with out feeling like I have failed! (Lets not point out all the archive images I resorted to during my 365 for various reasons!) This was one of those sunsets where EVERY image that came home was nice enough for posting! I came home with a TUN of usable images because the sunset was that amazing! So, I have a lot from that night that is not posted. Some of you, who have been around me for a while, have seen some of them. And some of you who have my calendar, have seen a seascape almost like this! Came from the same spot and the same sunset! This image, just a bit different! If you like this, then you will like my calendar, I still have a few, even though its February already! :D
Geek talk:
If I am not mistaken, I did use the B+W ND106. However, I know with out a shadow of a doubt, that I DID use the Cokin hard grad filter for this! I know that by the color of the clouds. I hope to see a sunset like this someday where I will be able to do this with out the color cast filters! :D
Please, enjoy!

4-H is a global network of youth organizations whose mission is "engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development." They do this by learning through service. A 4-H group known as the O.W.L.S., Outdoor Wildlife Leadership Service, visited Brandon Spring Group Center at Land Between The Lakes in May 2016. O.W.L.S. educates kids on a variety of outdoor, survival, and identification skills. These include wildlife tracking, studying avian populations, Dutch oven cooking, and ice cream making. These 4-H’ers planted a butterfly garden, weeded flowerbeds, and helped with trail work and maintenance projects. Photo by Brian Truskey

In this series of images, I am the model.
The concept behind the photographs is to simply change people's point of view of ordinary everyday objects.
This image here, depicts a digging site scene (made up of chocolate bar pieces) in which I become the archaeologist dusting 'debris' off the fossil (which is represented as a chocolate bar nut).
Not only does photography allow us to capture scenes around us, but it has also allowed me to capture images with double meanings.

Intentional burial, particularly with grave goods, may be one of the earliest detectable forms of religious practice since, as Philip Lieberman suggests, it may signify a "concern for the dead that transcends daily life." Though disputed, evidence suggests that the Neanderthals were the first human species to intentionally bury the dead, doing so in shallow graves along with stone tools and animal bones.
The earliest undisputed human burial, discovered so far, dates back 130,000 years. Human skeletal remains stained with red ochre were discovered in the Skhul cave at Qafzeh, Israel. A variety of grave goods were present at the site, including the mandible of a wild boar in the arms of one of the skeletons.
Prehistoric cemeteries are referred to by the more neutral term grave field. They are one of the chief sources of information on prehistoric cultures, and numerous archaeological cultures are defined by their burial customs, such as the Urnfield culture of the European Bronze Age.
In modern times, the custom of burying dead people below ground with a stone marker to mark the place is used in almost every modern culture, although other means such as cremation are becoming more popular in the west (cremation is the norm in India).
While seen as a new trend in modern burial, natural burial, the process by which a body is returned to the earth to decompose naturally in soil, has been practiced in Islam for almost 1500 years. Natural burial became popularized in the United Kingdom in the early 1990s by Ken West, a professional cemeterian for the City of Carlisle responding to the U.K's call for changes in government that aligned with the United Nations' Environmental Program Local Agenda 21. The practice is gaining ground rapidly and has now expanded to Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, North America, China and Japan.
