...what's wrong with that?
It's pretty much for the haters. Especially the ones who think they should "die." WTF is wrong with people? You don't like their music, so they should die? NO ONE should die...unless they're, like, some crazy pyscho person who goes around killing random people for no reason. If that's the case, then yes, he or they should die. But Nick, Joe, and Kevin are just three guys from New Jersey who had a chance to make their dream come true. What's so wrong with that?

For 'MacroMondays' theme of 'superstition'.
Isn't it a superstition, an irrational belief, that you must have flowers for a funeral. And the idea must go back a very long time. There is a Neanderthal grave in Iraq, within the Shanidar Caves where a group of ancient corpses had been surrounded in plant and floral remains.
We tend to remember the life and death of those we love and the final memory of them is set at a funeral service. Seeing our loved one surrounded by beautiful and heartfelt arrangements of plants and flowers can help create a lasting final impression that can bring smiles or tears.
For many of us the death of a faithful animal probably needs to be marked in some way. What to do with the remains - bury or cremate? A very dear friend of mine has taken her cat's ashes from house to house when she has moved. Reminded of this I have Joe's ashes in a decorated box - decorated of course with a plant tribute.

The theme for Happy Catuday this week is to show what cats do naturally. Well. Cats are great vomiters and love to eat grass to induce vomiting.
I put a brand new show-stopper of a collar on Ella (paid extra for the bow), took her outside and started photographing her. She rolled around on the sidewalk so her glossy black coat would have lots of dust and dirt in it and then started eating grass and gagging. If you look very, very closely, you'll see a couple drops of saliva above her eye from flicking her tongue. Lovely.

"I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." Sarah Williams.
For 3 years this photo has remained in my mind. In March of 2015 while exploring the paths near the road from Arcos to El Bosque, I found this view of the Sierra de Cádiz while I climbed an embankment near the intersection of Las Abiertas. That day the field lacked crops, it was a full moon night and the camera I had at that time could not stand high ISO. So I just took some pictures during the sunset, but I was convinced that I would come back one day to make this picture with better conditions to add a starry sky.
My knowledge during these 3 years has been increasing, to the point that I have learned techniques with which I could only dream at that time. Before facing this image again, I waited patiently until I considered myself capable of achieving the result I wanted and until the conditions were the best.
On this occasion, I have considered the state of the crops to photograph when the wheat was green, I have controlled the night sky state, photographing a night when the moon was only at the 7% and it was setting at nightfall, I have photographed from the blue hour to have a base photo on which I have added the more than 90 night photos of 30 seconds that result in the movement of the stars. And finally I have been able to correct the strong light pollution of the mountain villages that threatened to destroy my photograph. Maybe they are not the Alps, but the Sierra de Cádiz holds a great beauty for those willing to appreciate it.

"He amado las estrellas demasiado como para tener miedo de la noche." Sarah Williams.
Durante 3 años esta foto ha permanecido en mi cabeza. En Marzo de 2015 mientras exploraba los carriles que salen de la carretera de Arcos a El Bosque, encontré esta vista de la Sierra de Cádiz mientras subía por un terraplén cercano a la venta del cruce de Las Abiertas. Aquel día el campo carecía de cultivos, era noche de luna llena y la cámara que tenía por aquel entonces no soportaba un ISO alto. Así que me limité a tomar algunas fotografías durante el atardecer, pero me convencí de que volvería algún día para realizar esta fotografía con mejores condiciones para añadir un cielo estrellado.
Mis conocimientos durante estos 3 años han ido aumentando, hasta el punto de que he aprendido técnicas con las que solo podía soñar por aquel entonces. Antes de enfrentarme de nuevo a esta imagen, he esperado pacientemente hasta que me he considerado capaz de conseguir el resultado que deseaba y hasta que se han dado las condiciones idóneas.
En esta ocasión, he tenido en cuenta el estado de los cultivos para fotografiar cuando el trigo estuviera verde, he controlado el estado del cielo nocturno, fotografiando una noche en la que luna estaba solo al 7% y se ponía al caer la noche, he fotografiado desde la hora azul para tener una foto base sobre la que añadir luego las más de 90 fotos nocturnas de 30 segundos que dan como resultado el movimiento de las estrellas. Y por último he sido capaz de corregir la fuerte contaminación lumínica de los pueblos de montaña que amenazaban con destruir mi fotografía. Quizás no sean Los Alpes, pero la Sierra de Cádiz encierra una gran belleza para aquellos dispuestos a apreciarla.
Something different. No bokeh today (sometimes I've got to do it). I had to stand in this spot for a while to get the path with no people on (there are some people in the distance though), but every time I tried to get a shot, someone would walk/cycle/skateboard into my shot. Now, if I trying for bokeh people, that would be fine, but instead, I probably looked like I was lost or something just standing there. :)
Happy Thursday! The weekend is in sight! I've looking forward to some quality time with my camera. I haven't picked it up for several weeks, and with the days getting really short, it's hard to find time or the light to get anything worth it. I always seem to be using the same lens recently, which is fine, but I do think I need to take some other lenses out for a spin this weekend. Maybe The Beast (macro lens)... or I might try and see if the garden birds co-operate with my big zoom lenses. We'll see... :)
thankyou so much for the comments guys, you've convinced me to load it public, shucks.

yes, the trees are real, they're in my next door neighbors yard. :)

>>> Fun fact: Believe it or not ... this is our FIRST EVER "MERMAID" scene Blythe photoshoot ... !
(with the exception of our "sales photos" of mermaid COSTUME back in 2012 ... shared ONLY to showcase crochet "commission sale" ! ...
We have never had the occasion to conduct the classic photoshoot ... with the whole "treasure chest full of jewels" ... sitting on a rock ... standard prototypical "mermaid scene" ... something probably 99% of Blythe photographers HAVE done !!

as you probably already know, i don't have my camera. it needs to be fixed and it should take a month. it's been one week already and i miss taking pictures so much. today, as i was going from school, the sun was shining. after extremely long time. the sun showed it's face i barely remembered and it made me happy. first thought was-i wish i had my camera. and it made me sad that i didn't have it.
why should not having my camera make me sad? i still see what i see. and it should still make me happy. i realized i take pictures because i want to share them. that's also good, but i don't always take them for myself, i think of sharing it first. i feel like if i don't share a moment, it's meaningless. i don't want to. i want to experience it, without capturing it, without sharing it.
so this month, is for myself. i won't be sharing. i share so much sometimes. i won't take pictures of moments, of feelings. i will experience it, i will feel it, i will live it. and for once, i will keep the memory only in my heart, not in a picture, not in a blog post, not in sharing. it will be fully mine.
some moments just can't be captured, or shared, or said. it has to stay unknown to everyone, but the one whom it belongs to. this month belongs to me and my heart. sharing everything with Him, in different ways than photography this time.
--------------------------------
also, i have photoshop. and i have no idea how to use it, i seriously suck. i hope to get better. picnik was so easy to use and i had my way of editing. it's hard to get used to something new, but i hope to fall in love with it soon. if you have any tips, i'd be happy to hear them.
this will be replaced or reedited soon.

The Hocking Valley Scenic Railway operates former C&O GP9 5833 as their regular power for trains throughout the year. It's no different today as it hauls a train load of happy kids on its Santa Train excursion from Nelsonville to Logan, OH and return. The engineer of C&O 5833 waives as he "speeds" through Haydenville, OH on a dreary, overcast day.

Friday's Food for Thought
Let's face it.... life right now is very tough and it seem to be getting harder everyday. If you are waiting for someone to rescue you in these times you will be waiting for a long time. We all want to live on easy street but getting there is not a smooth ride. I learned a long time ago that anything worth having is hard work. You will find you will have to do work in areas you don't like but if it will get you closer to your dreams you have to swallow your pride and do it! Yes you will have to deal with people you just don't agree with but if it will get you closer to your destiny then get along with them!
When I was growing up I had my plans in life all laid out and it all fell apart. I was frustrated and wanted to throw in the towel. But I remember my mom telling me this, "Son, do what you have to do in order to get where you want to be!" Everyday I live by this. Yes you are right to feel it is not right you have to struggle but sitting around complaining and doing nothing is not going to get you closer. Get in there, do the hard or boring tasks, and you will find you will come out on top.

Už jsem to naťuknul u předchozí fotky. Ten týden zřejmě definitivně končila rychlíková kariéra jedné stěžejní řady. Kredence, loďáky...
Trochu sečtělej šotouš si určitě vybaví spoustu fotek z 60. a 70. let, kde dlouhá souprava "dvaašedesátek" upaluje s rychlíkem z Prahy na Budějovice nebo Plzeň, do Chomutova nebo do Mostu. Klidně dva motoráky a třeba tři čtyři Balmy. To je ta slavná éra.
A pak je tu tohle. 64 let od objednávky první série, 61 let od začátku její výroby, 50 let od jejího (neslavného) konce. Dvaašenda znova - a asi doopravdy naposledy - v důstojné, rychlíkové vozbě.
Strávil jsem s tím nádherný dva dny. Z Jeseníku do Jindřichova na rychlících i spěšňácích, a zpátky, sem tam, já stejně jako ony. Nebo spíš - ona. Oba dva dny tenhle úkol připadnul fešně natřené a celkem spolehlivé 831.183. Asi aby ta reminiscence na dobu minulou byla dokonalá. Byl to zvláštní pohled. R 902 Praděd - a na něm tenhle loďák.
Je půl pátý odpoledne a pro dnešek se tahle paráda zase chýlí ke konci. 831.183 sjíždí se svým Bixem po výluce dolů do Hanušovic. Tentokrát s odpoledním vlakem, který byl tehdy v jízdním řádu vedený s identickými časy jako R 1400, Sp 1706 nebo Os 3612. Je středa, takže platí ta poslední verze - přesto si dovolím právě tuhle fotku považovat za symbolický konec téhle poslední rychlíkové kapitoly.
Když tenhle motorák objednávali a už zkoušeli i jeho části, v československým letectvu sloužily jako elitní stíhačky Spitfiry, staré sotva dva roky.
40 minut po pořízení téhle fotky se proženou kousek nad Ramzovským sedlem dva Gripeny. Jako když vzdávají poctu hrdinům.
Lepší tečku bys nevymyslel.
---------------------------------------
When the ministry of transport ordered them, the key fighter aircraft od Czechoslovak Air Force was the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX. No war weary veteran, all of them were manufactured just a year ago.
Some 40 minutes after this picture was taken, a pair of JAS-39 Gripens roar in a low level flight just above this place. As if they were paying a tribute to some hero. Probably they had met with this train somewhere down the valley.
It is almost ubelivable that those two types of aircraft have both met the same type of train in - epic pause - active service.
M262 was a key type for Czechoslovak railways. Following the line of pre-war fast diesel railcars, it got some serious influence by German fast DMUs that ended up after the war in Czechoslovakia. Pretty conventional in appearence, but rather progressive in some solutions it was fist ordered in 1946, with production starting in 1949. it received mixed reviews in the early period, but proved sturdy, versatile and quite cheap later. With 238 manufactured examples you could meet it from west to east of Czechoslovakia, pulling the fast regional trains. Some of those had up to four coaches plus two or three railcars. Those glorious days in the 1960s and 1970s...
Having seen many iconic photos from this era, I would never belive I would have the opportunity of wittnesing this again in 2010. But hey, this is really the last game.
That year the last surviving examples, already ridiculously obsolete, were about to be retired, seeing just the limited use with inferior regional trains from Šumperk to Jeseník. But for a couple of days in September, the last glorious opportunity suddenly appeared. Due to the track maintenance, one M262 was literally closed in the nothern part of the track and therefore given a task of servicing all the fast trains on it as well.
So here she comes for the last time, at least for this day... Might she see those Gripens down the valley, coming for an unplaned tribute?

Waiting for winter (Lessinia plateau 20191114)
The Lessini mountain group in the Veneto Prealps, are the hills that rise just north of Verona and acts as a border between the Veneto Region and Trentino Alto Adige Region. The Lessini mountain group reaches to, just over 2000 meters a.s.l. and has multiple valleys and long ridges that descend down towards the Po valley.
The Lessinia is a zone of ancient origin, noted especially for its abundance of fossils. Significant traces of human settlement have also been discovered here.
We often (but not always) have a theme to our hikes and scrambles, the real reason we set out on a particular adventure, e.g. amazing wildflower meadows in the spring, alpine larches turning colour in the fall, etc. For us, Waterton has many things that no other hiking place in Alberta has: Bear Grass, which is at the northern-most part of its range here. It's quite abundant, and sometimes, all the plants bloom at once, called a super-bloom. We didn't experience the super-bloom this time, but saw many individual blossoms like this.

I have updated the plasma arsenal yet again! Now it has all new, even more tintable textures (yes, you can make the cannon white, red, whatever). It also has a cool new HUD Ive been working on from my Fantasy Faire items. And(!) you can edit the textures however you like because they're all included and full perms!
