The funky look is caused by a combination of age-related oxidation and apparent water damage. It seems the filter layer has become insoluble.

EXPLORE 18 de Mayo 2011 #485
Me ha hecho mucha ilusión encontrar imágenes que creía que ya no tenía, la magia de las cajas que hacen de un antiguo disco duro interno, uno externo. Por supuesto la he photosheado entre otras cosas, porque por aquel tiempo, ni tenía archivos RAW, ni sabía que existieran y las fotos las sacaba con menos resolución (ahora tengo muchassss tarjetas de memoria jajajaja). Espero que os guste, quería compartirla con vosotros. Besos a todos/as

Shot this at home , used the RAW processing tool of photoshop and I must admit its better than the RAW processing which the Canon software does.

The 26m dish at Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory.
When I took this photograph, the Radio Telescope was observing a MASER (an acronym for: Microwave Amplification by Stimulation Emission of Radiation).
Why do we use Radio Telescopes?
The human eye can only see about one ten trillionth of the Electromagnetic Magnetic Spectrum of light (between 400-700nm, with diminished sensitivity at both ends). Radio Telescopes can detect a much wider range of Electromagnetic Radiation including Radio waves, Microwaves, Terahertz waves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays).
A big thank you to Heystek Grobler from HartRAO for showing me around.

my highest yet. thank youuu =]
this is one of my christmas tree ornaments. we decorated the tree today.
ornaments are a big tradition in my family.
ever since i was born ive gotten one every year, and so has my sister, and the rest of my family.
we both have our themes, mine is disney, and hers is the barbie collectors. the year i got spopngebob i didn't go with my theme. the idea behind it is that when we move out on our own we'll already have a lot of ornaments for our own tree. i have a picture of my ornaments in the comments. the nemo one in front is this years. each ornament tells a story, about what i liked that year.
for instance, i got this ornament my freshmen year. also my first year in the high school marching band were i met this boy who made me watch the nightmare before christmas and i fell in love with the movie. it just so happened that that year hallmark had this ornament. i just had to have it.
every year, we take them out of the boxes, and put them in order by year. also because our ornaments arent all kinda the same or follow any pattern, our tree always looks kinda funky. which i love!
its probably my favorite part of christmas.
this picture was taken with one of my film camera lenses wich is why i got good bokeh.
it was so hard to use it when i can't put it on my camera.
i can't wait to get my 50mm for christmas!
Ore loads arrive in Proctor, seen rolling past the scale track. I'm not sure if the train actually gets weighed or not here; but nonetheless is a cool scene. On this dreary morning, the train is led by three SD40 types - an IC leader and two BLE motors trailing.

Archway resp. arcade of the Château de Hautefort, connecting its western with its eastern wing, Dordogne, France
Some background information:
The Château de Hautefort (in English: "Hautefort Castle") is situated on a plateau in the northern part of the French department of Dordogne. It overlooks the village of Hautefort and is located approximately 34 kilometers (21 miles) northeast of the town of Périgueux. The building complex is the largest Baroque castle in southwestern France and one of the most significant castles in the Périgord region. Located in the far eastern part of the White Périgord (in French: "Périgord blanc"), the castle was classified as a historic monument in 1958. Since 1967, its French formal gardens and the landscaped park have also been listed as historic monuments.
As early as the 9th century, a fortress was located at the site of the present-day Hautefort Castle, belonging to the viscounts of Limoges. In 1030, the castle became the property of Guy de Lastours after he defeated the rebellious viscounts at Arnac on behalf of the Count of Périgord. Following his death in 1046, his sole daughter Aloaarz brought the property into her marriage with Aymar de Laron, who adopted the Lastours name.
Through the marriage of Agnes de Lastours in 1160, the castle passed to the family of her husband, Constantin de Born. Constantin and his brother Bertran de Born, quarreled over the castle, as they supported opposing factions of the English princes Henry the Young King and Richard the Lionheart. Bertran sided with Prince Henry, while Constantin aligned himself with Richard's camp. In 1182, Bertran managed to expel Constantin from the castle, but in the following year, after Henry's death, Richard the Lionheart laid siege to the fortress. After eight days, he captured it, took Bertran prisoner, and demolished the fortifications.
However, King Henry II of England granted Bertran his freedom and even restored the castle to him. In 1184, the rebuilding of the castle began. By 1196, Bertran retired to the Cistercian Abbey of Dalon and became a monk, while the grounds passed to his son. At that time, the structure consisted of a large donjon and several smaller towers connected by curtain walls and battlements.
In the course of the Hundred Years' War, English soldiers occupied the castle in 1355 and forced its owners to recognize the English king as their liege lord. However, in 1406, the castle returned to French control. Shortly before, the last male representative of the family, Bertrand, had died, and the property passed to his sole daughter, Marthe. Her son Antoine, from her second marriage to Hélie de Gontaut, adopted the name of the Hautefort lordship when he became the new lord of the castle. In 1588, the northwestern entrance wing of the castle was altered and fortified – perhaps influenced by the French Wars of Religion. This renovation likely replaced a less defensible Renaissance-style structure.
In 1614, under François de Hautefort, the seigneurie was elevated to a marquisate. Accordingly, he sought to replace the outdated structure with a representative château. In 1633, the marquis commissioned Nicolas Rambourg, an architect from Périgueux, to undertake a major renovation of the estate. When François passed away in 1640, the work was far from complete, leaving the task of continuing the project to his successor, his grandson Jacques-François. Jacques-François' sister, Marie, gained fame at the Parisian royal court as the platonic companion of King Louis XIII.
The death of Nicolas Rambourg in 1649 temporarily halted construction, but in 1651, the inauguration of a château chapel on the ground floor of the new logis was celebrated. In 1669, the marquis resumed the renovation project, enlisting the Parisian architect Jean Maigret. Maigret completed the château as a symmetrical three-wing complex in the style of classical Baroque, adding the current south tower and relocating the chapel there in 1670. Although the second marquis died in 1680, Maigret's work on the château continued until 1695. During the renovations, the defensive elements that had still been present at the beginning of the 17th century were gradually dismantled.
During the French Revolution, the citizens of Hautefort prevented the château's destruction. From 1793 to 1795, the estate was used as a prison. But after the revolutionary period, Sigismonde Charlotte Louise de Hautefort, the daughter of the last marquis, Louis Frédéric Emmanuel, regained control of the family seat. In 1853, the redesign of the château's gardens was commissioned and the plans were drawn up by Paul de Lavenne, one of the most renowned landscape architects in France at the time. He reimagined the baroque gardens on the terraces surrounding the château and designed a large English landscape garden with broad sightlines into the surrounding countryside.
After the death of Maxence de Hautefort in 1887, his second wife sold the estate in 1890 to wealthy industrialist Bertrand Artigues. Artigues undertook various restoration projects and demolished the old outbuildings to the northwest of the château. Despite these efforts, the structural condition of the château remained poor. After Bertrand Artigues passed away in 1908, his heirs sold the château in 1913 to a real estate speculator. Between then and 1925, the speculator sold off all the furnishings and interior elements, including paneling and parquet floors. Subsequently, the parceled estate was sold off piece by piece.
In 1929, Baron Henry de Bastard and his wife Simone, the daughter of banker and patron David David-Weill, purchased the château. They began extensive restoration work in 1930, which continued until 1965. The couple undertook a complete restoration of both the interior and exterior of the buildings and also worked to restore the baroque garden parterres based on historical plans. While the flowerbeds were replanted, the design created by Paul de Lavenne was preserved.
After the death of the baron in 1957, his widow opened the château to the public. However, this decision proved disastrous for the estate. In 1968, a major fire broke out, caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette butt from a visitor. The fire devastated the main northeastern wing, including its interiors and furnishings. Only the side wings with their round towers at the ends remained intact. But the baroness wasted no time and began restoration work as early as September of the same year. Using old photographs, the destroyed wing and its rooms were faithfully reconstructed and refurnished.
Today, the Château de Hautefort, along with its park and large sections of the French gardens, can be visited for an admission fee. Visitors can explore the interior rooms, including the grand reception hall, the château lord’s bedroom, Marie de Hautefort’s room in the Louis Quinze style, the chapel, and the kitchen. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the palace has also served as a film location for several productions. The last one was the movie "Ever After" from 1998, starring Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston.

Natural light. It was pretty nasty out too, lots of dark clouds.
Probably one of my last sets with natural light for awhile. Just got an ab800 so I'll be using that as much as I can for awhile to get the hang of it :)

The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing.
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a savior, I'll need a saviour
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go
I don't want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall...
save me
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
I just want to run to you
and break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
and shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

for those of you who don't like creepy-crawly bugs, here's a nice non-threatening butterfly. =)
I found this guy sitting on a screen door, probing the screen with his proboscis. Maybe he was perfectly happy and knew what he was doing... but frankly, i wanted to take his picture and didn't think a screen door would make the best of backgrounds. So I gently stuck my fingers under his feet, and picked him up, whereupon he began probing my fingers. I carried him over to a Tithonia bloom and set him down on it, and he instantly began feeding on the flower. Had to taste better than that screen door...
Gulf fritillary, btw.
