New stuff doesn't usually have the character I adore. The rust, the chipped paint, the history.
HMM!

Jardí Botànic, Barcelona, España.
El Jardí Botànic de Barcelona es un Jardín botánico de 14 hectáreas de extensión. Dentro del Jardín se encuentra el Instituto Botánico de Barcelona (IBB-CSIC), un centro mixto perteneciente al CSIC y el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona.
Se inauguró el 18 de abril de 1999, en el solar de un antiguo vertedero de escombros en el Parque de Montjuic. El proyecto fue obra del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona. Es miembro de la Asociación Ibero-Macaronésica de Jardines Botánicos, y del BGCI, presentando trabajos para la Agenda Internacional para la Conservación en los Jardines Botánicos.
El código de identificación internacional del "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona" como miembro del "Botanic Gardens Conservation Internacional" (BGCI), así como las siglas de su herbario es BC.
Las colecciones están enfocadas en plantas de las regiones mediterráneas de todo el mundo, esta es una vegetación vinculada al clima mediterráneo que se caracteriza por un largo verano seco, de inviernos suaves y lluvias en la primavera y el otoño. Este clima sólo se encuentra sobre un 5% de la superficie de la tierra pero en 5 regiones del mundo en las cuales las plantas tuvieron una evolución adaptativa específica que con todo da paisajes bastante similares, por lo que las plantas se distribuyen agrupadas, según las cinco regiones mediterráneas del mundo.
Las sendas nos permiten acceder de zona en zona, comenzando por las Islas Canarias situadas a la entrada y subir al Mediterráneo occidental reconocible por el instituto botánico, que sobresale.
Del hemisferio Norte, la zona con una mayor representación es la Cuenca Mediterránea, siguiendo el camino de visita se accede hasta las costas de California de clima mediterráneo.
Después se encuentran las zonas mediterráneas del hemisferio Sur donde se visita la región mediterránea de Chile, el sur de África, y las dos regiones mediterráneas del sur de Australia (SE y S).
The Jardí Botànic de Barcelona is a 14-hectare botanical garden. Inside the Garden is the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (IBB-CSIC), a joint center belonging to the CSIC and Barcelona City Council.
It was inaugurated on April 18, 1999, on the site of an old rubble dump in Montjuic Park. The project was the work of the Barcelona City Council. He is a member of the Ibero-Macaronesian Association of Botanical Gardens, and of the BGCI, presenting papers for the International Agenda for Conservation in Botanical Gardens.
The international identification code of the "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona" as a member of the "Botanic Gardens Conservation International" (BGCI), as well as the initials of its herbarium is BC.
The collections are focused on plants from Mediterranean regions around the world, this is a vegetation linked to the Mediterranean climate that is characterized by a long dry summer, mild winters and rains in spring and autumn. This climate is only found on 5% of the earth's surface, but in 5 regions of the world in which the plants had a specific adaptive evolution that nevertheless gives quite similar landscapes, for which reason the plants are distributed grouped, according to the five Mediterranean regions of the world.
The paths allow us to access from zone to zone, starting with the Canary Islands located at the entrance and going up to the western Mediterranean recognizable by the botanical institute, which stands out.
From the Northern Hemisphere, the area with the greatest representation is the Mediterranean Basin. Following the visit path leads to the coast of California with a Mediterranean climate.
Then there are the Mediterranean areas of the Southern Hemisphere where you visit the Mediterranean region of Chile, southern Africa, and the two Mediterranean regions of southern Australia (SE and S).

At the foot of the evolution giants looking south. This valley was described by Le Conte in 1904 and I bet it didn't look much different than this. Those rocks were deposited there thousands of years ago, by the original earth movers, and they haven't been much disturbed since. And hopefully it'll still look like this in another thousand.
In the background right center is the Goddard Divide, once thought to be insurmountable, well at least with animals. Well, mules, sssssh, the sheep herders knew about it before King in the 1860's. And the local tribes.... I digressllll
Your reading assignment for tonight is to go to
vault.sierraclub.org/history/bulletin/
and download an early bulletin, in this case Vol. #5 "The Evolution Group of Peaks" by J. N. Le Conte, pg. 229
and start learning some of the historic folklore of the area before you visit! And know that, despite the relocation of USDA Growing Zones, these valleys look pretty much the same as described.
The sun shines as Northern Rail 144012 arrives at Doncaster with 2P7314:19 Scunthorpe to Lincoln Central. This unit is the first of the "Evolution" refurbishment carried out by Porterbrook at Derby.
Refurbishing the unit has seen the unit gaining LED destination boards and increased legroom. Also completed was the removal of overhead luggage racks and the toilet.

Co-Evolution...
Interactions between organisms can produce both conflict and co-operation. When the interaction is between pairs of species, such as a pathogen and a host, or a predator and its prey, these species can develop matched sets of adaptations. Here, the evolution of one species causes adaptations in a second species. These changes in the second species then, in turn, cause new adaptations in the first species. This cycle of selection and response is called co-evolution. ~ Wikipedia
Oshin and I are constantly challenging each other in our existence, creating a harmonious co-evolution in a long run, we depend on each other :)
Seen here is the evolution of my light cruiser design.
In this picture they are sorted by the "era" that they represent, the botoom one is a treaty cruiser from the late 20s, the midle one an early WW II cruiser while the top one is represents a mid-war cruiser.
The order by which I build them is somewhat different though, the middle one came first, than the bottom one, then the top one.
Evolution of a Water Drop video on YouTube.
This is one of the stills from the first set I did for this one. I wish drops were more consistent. This is my last water drop time lapse. It's a lot of work using liquids that are not dependable.
It seems that evolution does not always stick to the correct order ...

I set a couple of my flashes out and put them in order of power. This was more my strobist evolution (although I did get the 120j after the b1600). I did in fact start with an sb-400 using a chord off camera! Ah the memories....

Evolution of the essential clone trooper/ stormtrooper helmets and armor. Republic clone troopers Phases I and II, Galactic Empire stormtroopers and First Order stormtroopers
Three of us, two retired men (one who who wasn't sure if he could hike 50 plus miles; that would be me) and a young fit man who could have easily hiked twice as far in the 6 days we were on the trail started hiking at South Lake on the Bishop Pass Trail September 8 and 6 days latter ended our hike at North Lake. According to a more accurate account than I can generate we hiked 55 miles, gained 8,730 feet and lost 9,200 feet elevation. This area, part in Kings Canyon National Park and part in the John Muir Wilderness is about 20 miles southwest from Bishop, California.

Day 268 - This hasn't turned out quite as planned but I'm happy with the artistic outcome. I wanted to do a single exposure with multi flash mode, but couldn't get the exposure to work with the gear I have. So this is multiple images layered.
Hyacinth Evolution
I planted 15 indoor hyacinths ready for Christmas. Three came into full flower after January 1st, the others are still emerging from the soil.
One has yet to burst into life at all. But at least I have a range of hyacinths to choose from.
Three different hyacinths are featured here and I should have 3 different colours when they are all finally in bloom. In my mind I had an image I wanted to create but with all the bulbs and different colours maturing at different rates, I'll just have to be happy with what Nature reveals to me, in her timescale not mine.
3 are now in flower and the distinctive hyacinth scent is very strong, although the pink version has a very noticeable "oak" smell about it which the red and blue ones don't have.
Inspired by the idea of a 52 week project for taking photos of flowers without colour.
Female California Quail (Callipepla californica) atop the feeder at Munson Park, Kelowna, BC.
She was the only quail able to figure out that a short flight upwards to the top of the feeder definitely beats scrabbling through the spillage on the ground below! Evolution in action....
