The Cistercian monastery of St. Urban was founded in 1194 by monks of the Abbey of La Petite Alsace with support oberaargauischer free noble families. The monastery developed in the course of its existence to the religious and intellectual, stately and economic center of the border zone of the cantons of Bern, Solothurn, Aargau and Lucerne. Since the medieval monastery despite multiple conversions and extensions to claims of the monks no longer satisfied with the time, left the religious in the first half of the 18th century by the architect Franz Beer Voralberger plan from scratch and build a new monastery. She is now one of the most impressive examples of Baroque and Cistercian architecture and culture in Switzerland.

Holgas have had a bit of a topsy-turvy existence these past two years. First they were discontinued. Then they were resurrected. The new ones fell victim to what seemed to be massive light leaks but suspect is actually internal flaring. Then most recently they started arriving with shutters that would stick open. These little plastic cameras cannot quite catch a break of late. Thankfully I have something like three or four Holgas (and most still work) so I have been relatively well set and haven't had to throw my fortunes on the whims of the newer Holgas.
Personally, I wouldn't let any of this dissuade you. I love these cameras and when you use them right, they are more capable than many give them credit for being. But these recent two issues could give new Holga photographers the wrong first impression. The sticky shutters seems to have just popped up in the past 3-4 months. It also seems to be caused by whatever Chinese factory that is producing these cameras applying some type of thick oil to the shutter mechanism. I don't remember seeing this on Holgas before but now if you open them up you can see a shiny patch of oil on the shutter mechanism. I have experimented with oiling the mechanism of my Holga shutter before and discovered it is usually more trouble than it is worth. Sure, it often frees up the shutter disc for a little bit, but that mechanism is so exposed it quickly attracts dust and debris and gums up again. Furthermore, if you use the wrong oil, as seems to be the case with current new Holgas, it makes the whole mechanism sluggish. We got a batch of 12 new Holgas in not long ago and about 9 of them all had such shutters. The good news is that we were able to flush the shutters out. You can take the film mask out, unscrew two screws inside the camera and the whole lens/shutter assembly comes right off the front of the camera. Apply some lighter fluid or denatured alcohol (not WD-40) and the shutter will be better-than-new.
Anyway, I meant for this post to be a bit of a PSA. I love these cameras and if the ones coming out of Freestyle to us at Blue Moon are sticky, then that likely means all the ones coming out of Freestyle are sticky. So if you picked up a Holga for Christmas, check that shutter. Get it cleaned out if necessary. They are finicky little cameras in the best of circumstances, no need to stack that deck even higher.

The existence of an original fortress on the site of today's château is assumed from sometime around the middle of the 14th century. It was built on a rocky granite outcrop, which, after the damming of a stream and the filling up of a fishpond, became an island. The first written source is an entry into the land records from 1465, mentioning the division of the property of the deceased Ctibor of Zásmuk between his two sons, Petr and Václav. The fortress might then have been sold into the ownership of Diviš Boubínský of Újezd, who in turn sold it to the knightly family of Káb of Rybňan sometime around 1530. The family had the original Gothic castle rebuilt and the basic Renaissance remodelling carried out between 1542 and 1555,[2] and the château acquired the name Nová Lhota. In 1597, it was sold to Vilém Růt of Dírná, who had the building rendered with red plaster, from which it got its name Červená Lhota. The last of the Ruts, Bohuslav, had to leave the Bohemian lands as an Utraquist after the 1620 Battle of White Mountain.
In 1621, Červená Lhota was inhabited by Antonio Bruccio, who died in 1639 without an heir. With his death, Lhota lost its function as a residence, and it was used by his successors as occasional cottage. In 1641, it was acquired by the aristocrat Vilém Slavat of Chlum and Košumberk, and later it passed into the hands of the Windisch-Graetz family. Bedřich Arnošt Windisch-Graetz and his son Leopold dragged the dominion into great debts due to their outdated style of economics, so the custodian of his under-aged successor Joseph Nicholas recommended the sale of the dominion. In 1755 the château then was obtained by the Barons of Gudenus. Franz de Paul, Baron of Gudenus, shortly afterwards initiated several constructions, which were brought to an abrupt halt in 1774 by a great fire, which destroyed most of the agricultural buildings.
In 1776, Červená Lhota welcomed a new owner, Baron Ignác Stillfried, a progressive aristocrat of Prussian Silesia, who from 1796 accommodated the composer Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf at the castle. His son sold the dominion to Jakub Veith in 1820. His daughter Terezie sold the château again in 1835, this time into the princely hands of Heinrich Eduard von Schönburg-Hartenstein, who gave the castle to his son Josef Alexander von Schönburg-Hartenstein. He died in 1937 and was buried in the newly built tomb, and thus spared the destructive events of the new war, which ended the château's aristocratic history.
After the Czechoslovak state confiscated the building in 1946, a children's clinic was established there. A year later, the château was granted to a National Culture Commission, and in 1949 it was opened to the public.

黑枕藍鶲 Black-naped Blue Flycatcher (Male) ... [Blue Flycatcher Series] ... He was so excited about becoming a father that my existence did not bother him at all. A few shots were taken almost too close to frame the whole body...

Blue's family had a history of being loners. The trait seemed to be passed from generation to generation. Turns out, Blue's family was just Dicks!

My pre-Flickr photo.
Shot I took in 2008 with my very first DSLR, Canon Xti (also known as EOS 400D).
Moments ago, this particular shot almost made it to my trash bin.
I dont know much about post processing, anyhow Im grateful there's Picnik.com.
Dedicated to a person who recently inspires me , Kuya Jobarracuda.
Before I became part of Flickr world, and know nothing about photography then, Ive heard of him a few months ago, when I saw a portraiture shot of his in one of my Facebook contact's wall. The shot was a simple black and white, but Kuya Jobbar's shot has something in it ... a "drama", which I cant find the right word to describe.
He shoots with his heart is all I can say...
Kuya Jobbar, your invitation to photoshoot with you someday left a smile on my face.
Thank you very much!
"We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now
'Cause little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just asked myself why, you really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you
You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now
'Cause little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just asked myself why, you really here?"
