It had been a long time since I got anything in Explore so I was sure tickled that the baby birds made it. Thanks again, everyone!

The Faroe Islands are an archipelago between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic, about halfway between Norway and Iceland, 320 kilometres north-northwest of Scotland. The islands are an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. Their area is about 1,400 square kilometres with a population of 50,030 in April 2017.
The Faroes' terrain is rugged, and the islands have a subpolar oceanic climate: windy, wet, cloudy, and cool. Despite this island group's northerly latitude, temperatures average above freezing throughout the year because of the Gulf Stream.
Between 1035 and 1814, the Faroes were part of the Hereditary Kingdom of Norway. In 1814, the Treaty of Kiel granted Denmark control over the islands, along with two other Norwegian island possessions: Greenland and Iceland. The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country within the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948.
The Faroese have control of most domestic matters. Areas that remain the responsibility of Denmark include military defence, the police department, the justice department, currency, and foreign affairs. However, as they are not part of the same customs area as Denmark, the Faroe Islands have an independent trade policy, and can establish trade agreements with other states. The islands also have representation in the Nordic Council as members of the Danish delegation. The people of the Faroe Islands also compete as a national team in certain sports.

The Faroe Islands have been on my travel list for quite a time; lost in the cold waters of the Atlantic, seldom visited, off-the-beaten path, possessing all those lovely moods of the deep north I'm fond of...
We spent 10 days in the archipelago in total, pursuing hiking day trips or even going for overnight stays somewhere in the wild - and it was a beautiful northern experience, with moods of solitude, splendid sunshine turning into heavy rains, sometimes strong winds - all in beautiful unspoiled nature and when exploring picturesque small towns and villages.
Mykines island has it all. Or nothing… depends on what you prefer. All for those who seek for solitude, end of the world type of a place, wild and rugged scenery, thousands of seabirds.
Only accessible by boat or helicopter and without any car traffic, there are just 11 permanent residents of Mykines village; although there are 40 houses in the settlement, only six are inhabited year-round.
I haven't checked on this in a while and I was shocked to see 7 cakes. YAY!
A shameless, self indulgent share... ; ]
Proving there was still life in the old dog yet, Realtoy applied its new and very modern Police Department livery on to its ancient Ford Explorer casting not many months before the brand was totally swept away at Tesco. This new colour scheme did a decent job of keeping this model looking fresh with its very dark blue hue hiding evidence of cost cutting. Part of a five vehicle Emergency themed set bought back in February 2017. Mint and boxed.
The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

Charles Sturt the intrepid explorer forever commemorated in bronze in the northwest corner of Victoria Square, Adelaide.
WIKIPEDIA
Captain Charles Napier Sturt (28 April 1795 – 16 June 1869) was a British explorer of Australia, and part of the European exploration of Australia. He led several expeditions into the interior of the continent, starting from both Sydney and later from Adelaide. His expeditions traced several of the westward-flowing rivers, establishing that they all merged into the Murray River. He was searching to determine if there was an "inland sea".

Two years ago I woke up and had lost use of my left arm, it would only raise to waist level. A year later my right arm, it raised to shoulder level-- no higher. Yesterday was surgery #3 and I'm expecting to be fully back in motion within four weeks--I hope. I really thought I'd rest today, maybe browse a few magazines and watch a little TV (which I rarely do) but I kept hearing this little voice calling me. It just kept calling me and when I looked in my home studio there it was... my Canon...calling my name. Softly and gently it called my name....
I can't bear the weight of it and a lens in my(dominant) right hand yet so I mounted it on a tripod and armed myself with a remote to capture this "simply me" capture. I had to. Why? Because it kept calling me.... And how could I turn it down, I just couldn't......

Having bought literally a whole carton full of the newly introduced Realtoy based Emergency range back on their introduction in Tesco stores back in March 2016 I still have quite a few to upload on here. There weren't many actual different castings in this carton so plenty of duplicates all of which were definitely worth getting including two versions of this Ford Explorer. This casting must now be well over a decade old and shows absolutely no sign of being replaced in the Realtoy range, even this Country Sheriff recolour is some years old. Apart from the bling wheels this has always been a crisp little model which is licensed and thus even after some cost cutting it still has some nice detailing including painted lights and accurate interior. Strangely the red Fire version gets a fully detailed FORD badge whereas this forgoes one unfortunately. Mint and boxed.

I've never really understand this Explore thing, some images get in that you don't think are that great, whilst others you think will don't get picked up.
With over 42,000 pics now and just 48 chosen (getting on for one in a thousand) I'm thinking my photostream is more about quantity than quality! ;-)
It's nice that eight of the choices were of my own creations though.

This vixen was particularly skittish which is unusual for the foxes at this particular park as they are usually very approachable. However after reviewing the images from this shoot it dawned on me that she is a little thick around the middle as compared to the images of the other foxes from that day. I strongly suspect that she is carrying a litter of kits and that would explain her unusual wariness.
