This is one of our two nesting Blackbirds in the conifer outside our back door. There was such a commotion yesterday evening and we found a Magpie raiding their nest. The Blackbirds were doing their very best to fight it off but it emerged with either an egg or a chick, couldn't see which.
Dawson is a ghost town in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was a mining town, and suffered two mine disasters killing 376.
The first on October 22, 1913, was an explosion that killed 263 miners. The second, also an explosion, on February 13, 1923, killed 123 miners - many of them children of the men who died in the 1913 explosion.
Its cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is filled with iron crosses marking the graves of miners, many who died in the two explosions.
This is the preview of a project I've always dreamed about.
It is a story, an "How will it be after a Nuclear Explosion", and I've finally found the perfect location in an abandoned Mental Hospital.
When I was just a little girl (I asked my mother, what will I be.. ehm, no, ok) there was a terrible incident in the motorway near my home, and I saw a big explosion, like a nuclear mushroom.
It shocked me, but both it charmed me.
Ah, only one more thing: I'm against Nuclear power.
Please respect my work.

ODC - DISASTER
Among disasters, droughts, along with earthquakes, are the biggest killers as disasters. Since 1980, drought and associated famine have claimed nearly 558 000 lives and affected more than 1.6 billion people, according to CRED.

Avec les tremblements de terre, les sécheresses sont les catastrophes naturelles les plus meurtrières. Selon le CRED (Centre de recherche sur l'épidémiologie des catastrophes), depuis 1980, les sécheresses et les famines qu'elles ont provoquées ont causé la mort de 558 000 personnes et touché plus de 1,6 milliard de personnes.

The bronze statue unveiled today (14th October 2013) in Senghenydd (Caerffili, South Wales), 100 years after the biggest mining disaster in Britain which claimed the lives of 439 men and boys. The memorial garden includes plaques with the names, age and address of every person that died, plus the names of all that died in a previous mining explosion at the same mine in 1901 (killing 81). It also pays tribute to the 8000 welsh miners that have died in disasters in collieries all over Wales - including Aberfan which claimed the lives of 144 persons (116 of them children) in 1966.
In Haiti, the Commission has funded the training of local disaster management authorities, developed and updated risk maps and conducted disaster drills like the one shown in this picture. The aim is to strengthen local capacities to face disasters and make communities more resilient and less dependent on foreign assistance. Preparedness reduces vulnerability. Preparedness saves lives. ©2013 - Photo credit: EC/ECHO/ I. Coello |
En Haïti, la Commission a financé la formation des autorités locales à la gestion des catastrophes, a établi et mis à jour des cartes de risques, et a réalisé des exercices de simulation de catastrophe tels que celui que l'on voit sur la photo. L’objectif est de renforcer la capacité locale à faire face aux catastrophes et à rendre les communautés plus résistantes et moins dépendantes de l’aide étrangère. L'anticipation des risques diminue la vulnérabilité et sauve des vies. ©2013 - Crédit photo: CE/ECHO/ I. Coello

I had a chance to shoot with the Apocalyptic Band Disaster Face and jumped at it. It's not a genre I have much experience with and I knew I had to figure out a unique way of processing the shots.
Here are my faves from the shoot.

She drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
She’s as damned as she seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

Okay I almost deleted this cause I thought it was chaotic and out of focus. However when I did some fade correction, the clarity and colours just turn magical. I'm impressed with how well the lens does macro. Btw, in case you guys didn't know I'm a webdesigner for 8 years now, I am also a diehard Kelly Clarkson fan. I used to run kclarkson.org now my new site, www.ukellyclarkson.com is semidead. lol.

'Mexico' Disaster Memorial...
On the 9th December 1886, the barque 'Mexico of Hamburg' with a crew of twelve, was travelling from Liverpool to South America when it was caught in a fierce storm. Lifeboats from Southport (the Eliza Fernley), Lytham (the Charles Biggs) and St Annes (the Laura Janet), responded to the distress signals.
Relatives and friends waited on shore all night and news came tht the bodies of seamen had been washed ashore. The Lytham lifeboat and crew arrived home at 3.30am, wet through and half drowned after having tied themselves to the rigging. All on board the Mexico were rescued by the Lytham lifeboat. All but two of the Eliza Fernley were lost and the entire crew of the St Annes crew (Laura Janet) perished at sea.
Never in the lifeboat service has there been a disaster this great, in which 27 men of the lifeboat service lost their lives in one night, leaving 16 widows and 50 orphans in three towns a fornight before Christmas
On 23rd May 1888 the Lifeboat Monument was unveiled in St Annes to commemorate the bravery of these crews... it still stands proudly on the promenade as a reminder of their valour.
