We went to the park early in the morning, and there were people that were exercising. I wanted to just take a picture of them, but my dad told me to go join them... I jumped in long enough for him to snap the shot.
Some turtles live more than 100 years. I have discovered the reason behind this. Turtles tend to do daily exercises. The proof is in the photo above.
Why Do Turtles Live So Long?

"Why turtles live so long also tends to be somewhat of a mystery. One element that seems to play a large role, however, is turtles’ relatively slow metabolism, which helps them process things like diseases and aging at a different rate from birds or other domestic pets. It also helps them live for extended periods without food or water.
In turn, turtles are able to enter states of brumation and aestivation, hibernation-like states during hot and cold temperature extremes. During those times, water turtles can live underwater for months without access to oxygen, which some researchers believe plays a key role in how turtles’ bodies are able to process the stress of a decades-long lifespan.
“Everything’s a bit slower for them,” Mitchell says. “They can undergo anaerobic metabolism, which allows them to process things at a different rate.”
One 2013 study published in the scientific journal Genome Biology, decoded the genome of a western painted turtle, finding some 19 genes in the brain and 23 in the heart that are activated in low-oxygen conditions. Together, those genes work to protect turtles’ organs from oxygen deprivation, and could, as the study posits, potentially provide an increase in how long turtles live."

Funny Turtles
Similar to this, but more lighting was used for a different effect.
Also similar to this, but on a different bridge and different time of day.
I needed an excuse to play with my strobes at night.
I guess I'm easily amused.

So anyway, back to my European street photography bonanza vacation pics...
I like to watch the ducks, they are so funny! :)

Akhara (the gym) at Tulsi Ghat, Varanasi
Shot on a Nov/Dec 2011 photo trip to India with Gareth, Frankie and Jarvis.
I am looking forward to shooting in Varanasi again in April. Wanna join us? Details: www.maciejdakowicz.com/upcoming-workshops/travel-street-p... There is one last spot available.
Title: The phrase 'driving into the sunset' always strikes me as being a little 'final', as in coming to an end, but sunrise on the other hand, sounds more like a beginning... of an adventure maybe!
The image: Three men walking toward the sunrise towards 3 cruise-liners which had called in to Penang's port: Norwegian Jewel (front and centre), Aegean Paradise (bow just visible with tugboat) and Mein Schiff 5 (can just make out the ship's bridge through the trees).
Note: The guy on the left of the three men walking was doing stretching-exercises as the three walked past, he wasn't attempting to relieve himself over the wall! hahaha
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feed-back very much
Happy Macro Monday my Flickr Friends
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Nothing like a few pull-ups to get you going in the morning - as long as you eat as you exercise !!
Bit of a failed shot as it was a grab the camera only to loose the first shot as it was still on the 2 second timer from some previous tripod work . Sorted that only to carry on shooting ( from indoors ) and the iso was left on 200 and on a dark and grimzle day this shot was near black on the screen . Managed to raise it to this as I thought the pose was worth keeping if I could ,
The Cathedral of Seville is built on the old aljama mosque of the city, this shows the power that one culture exercises over another when it is conquered. This fact makes its plan different, facing Mecca and not Jerusalem, that is, facing south instead of east. It should be clarified that Mecca is oriented at 10o from Seville and not at 86o as the old mosque is oriented, this is due to the fact that in Al-Andalus the mosques had to be oriented towards the south quadrant and not towards the east, as the Christian churches did. When the Cathedral Chapter commissioned the design of the Gothic Cathedral, it stated verbatim that it wanted a Cathedral that everyone who saw it would take for crazy. For this, 5 naves were created that covered the 116 by 76 meter rectangle occupied by the Almohad mosque, this results, unlike what was usual in the great European Gothic Cathedrals, a hall plan with a Latin cross marked in height and in width by the central naves and the transept. This hall plan also results in the absence of an ambulatory at the head, which ends in a straight line like the wall of the old mosque. Later the Royal Chapel would be added, which is a Renaissance apse, but it does not really correspond to the Gothic company. In the naves of the Gospel and the Epistle, which are the lateral naves, there are many chapels. The 60 pillars support 68 ogive vaults, highlighting those of the transept and central nave with their star shapes. Instead of placing a clerestory, a continuous balcony was chosen along the main nave in order to be able to wander around the temple without being seen. Located in the central nave, in order from the feet, are the Retrochoir, the Choir, with two organs, the Transept, the Main Altar, the Back of Altar and the Royal Chapel.
Hier ist der Regionalrat als Organ der demokratischen Vertretung des venezianischen Volkes zu Hause. Er bestimmt die politische und administrative Richtung der Region und kontrolliert deren Umsetzung. Ebenso übt er die gesetzgebende Gewalt sowie die Regulierungsbefugnisse aus, die nicht einzelnen regionalen Gesetzen der Junta zugeschrieben werden und erfüllt die anderen Funktionen, die ihm die Verfassung, der Staat und die Gesetze übertragen.
This is the home of the Regional Council, the authority of the democratic representation of the Venetian people. It determines the political and administrative direction of the region and monitors its implementation. He also exercises the legislative power and regulatory powers not attributed to individual regional laws of the junta, and performs the other functions conferred upon him by the constitution, the state, and the laws.
Es la sede del Consejo Regional, órgano que representa democráticamente al pueblo veneciano. Determina la dirección política y administrativa de la región y supervisa su aplicación. También ejerce el poder legislativo y reglamentario no atribuido a las leyes regionales individuales de la junta, y desempeña las otras funciones que le confieren la constitución, el estado y las leyes.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is the coastal defense and maritime law enforcement branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the country's seven uniformed services. The Coast Guard is a maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the U.S. military branches for having a maritime law enforcement mission (with jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters) and a federal regulatory agency mission as part of its mission set. It operates under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during peacetime, and can be transferred to the U.S. Department of the Navy by the U.S. President at any time, or by the U.S. Congress during times of war. This has happened twice: in 1917, during World War I, and in 1941, during World War II. Created by Congress on 4 August 1790 at the request of Alexander Hamilton as the Revenue-Marine, it is the oldest continuous seagoing service of the United States.
One of my favorite exercises when I'm strolling through the city at dusk is to keep an eye on the headlights of passing cars. This effect in a long exposure never ceases to amaze me. Finding the right aperture and exposure time is the key to balanced light stripes. It's a lot of trial and error. You never know exactly what effect you'll achieve and whether the lights will disrupt or enhance the composition.
The picture shows one of my favorite areas near the station, a quarter where Innsbruck indeed looks a little bit more like a city.
