Alex, un ami Flickr , de Gruyère en Suisse, m'a fait une très belle surprise en venant me voir . Je ne l'avais jamais rencontré et en avais envie depuis longtemps. Sa visite m'a fait d'autant plus plaisir et beaucoup de bien qu'en cette période de grande tristesse, elle m'a changé les idées et fait penser à autre chose....Merci Alex....Et reviens quand tu veux.

I had the honour to take photos from a high ground rescue with the heroes from the Frölunda fire department. This was an exercise from an 80-meter high crane.

 

Please take a look at the other photos from the exercise in the album "high ground rescue".

This picture is black and white and the reason to that is that I wanted to give it the feeling from the wonderful pictures of the construction of New York skyscrapers.

 

This is my contribution to this week's theme “#soft” for the Swedish flickr group Photo Sunday.

 

Have a nice week!

Flickr 110 camera with spinning balls and all !

Flickr used to provide a facility for photographers to quickly and easily upload, comment and fave the work of others. As such it helped create a community of creative people who could share, experiment and learn from each other.

 

Recent changes have made this very difficult and time consuming to do - what was a joy, has become a chore. The proposed changes are going to make this even more difficult.

 

I for one have remained simply because I have made a big investment in posting and commenting on photographs - and more importantly - in building relationships with other photographers, whose friendship, support and comments have helped me develop and made the flickr experience such a joy.

 

However, the spirit of flickr is being eroded as it becomes nothing more that a glorified picture gallery. I do not understand why flickr cannot have it's picture gallery to share with the outside world, while allowing photographers, who are the heart and soul of flickr, to do what they need to do.

 

So flickr, pay attention, I am protesting because I care, but the message your are giving, is that you have a new business model, and want us to go.

 

Oh, Flickr. While I appreciate the effort to protect my photos, I'm logged in, and you put cookies on my device. Can't you write a little code to establish that, as THE CREATOR, I don't need this pop up when I look at my own photos from my own device? Is that too much to ask from a ginormous on-line enterprise?

Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.

Please download this picture and upload it to your stream on Sunday, January 5, 2014. You can also make your own picture with the text as seen in this picture ( or of similar nature, but make sure to emphasize the boycott ), in any language of your choice. Please circulate it and remember to upload it on Sunday, January 5, 2014 ( or before, if you know you'll be away on January 5 )

Hide my insecurities.

 

I've missed you flickr.

Once again, Flickr have selfishly changed things without thinking about what its members think. I have become used to the last change, and am not happy to protect until I know what I'm protesting about, but agree with my Flickr friends and this time I am happy to support them.

 

If you have not tried out the beta (or are one of the fortunate ones that did not have it forced upon you) then consider yourselves lucky. Here are just a few of the things one can find in the new Flickr that will be coming our way...

 

- A tiny area for your description relegated to the upper right corner of your screen. Telling the story behind your photo is no longer important and is hidden (must click a button to see the entire narrative) if the description is more than a sentence or two.

- Links in descriptions are now hidden.

- Descriptions in general are more difficult to format.

- The comment area is tiny as well. Only room for a "nice photo", unless you hit the "more" button. And only four comments are shown...unless you push a "more" button (they do love this "more" button!).

- No graphics can be added to your comments. For some that may mean no awards or group graphics, for others it means no outtakes or additional shots that you may want to have accompany your primary photo.

- Speaking of comments...they are now in reverse order. So, say, you are having a conversation in your comment area it will be more difficult to follow (goodbye community). Also, you cannot reply to more than one person at a time.

- Invitations to groups in comments? You got it, not visible either.

- One last thing on comments. You can't edit them.

- Favorites are now strictly anonymous.

- All lettering is white on a black background. This is very difficult, if not impossible, for some people to read.

- When you click on someone's photo you are basically trapped there, as the Flickr toolbar disappears. The only option you have is to go to their photostream (where the bar will reappear) or use your browser's back arrows. Because this makes navigating so much more cumbersome, I stopped commenting on photos when I was forced into the beta seveal weeks ago.

 

This is just a small sampling of the issues with the new photopage...let your voices be heard!

Die im 13. Jahrhundert erbaute Evangelische Kirche Klosterfelde ist ein ganz besonderes Kleinod. Dieser Granitbau mit dem reich verzierten Altar von 1719 und der Kanzel bildet bis zum heutigen Tag den Mittelpunkt des Ortes.

Thank you for tagging me, Orhhilien. This was fun and rather eye-opening. :)

Sandhi Puja -

An integral and important part of Durga Puja, Sandhi Puja is performed at the juncture of the 8th and 9th lunar day. Sandhi puja lasts from the last 24 minutes of Ashtami till the first 24 minutes of Nabami. During this juncture (the "Sandhikhan"), Durga is worshipped in her Chamunda form. Devi Durga killed, Chando and Mundo, the two asuras at "Sandhikhan" and thus acquired the name of "Chamunda".

 

Myth behind Durga being worshipped as Chamunda -

While the Goddess and Mahishasura were engaged in a fierce battle, the two generals of Mahisha, Chando and Mundo attacked the Devi from the the rear. Durga appeared to them, a brilliantly glowing woman with her hair knotted on her head, a crescent moon above her forehead, a 'tilak' on her forehead and a garland around her neck. With golden earrings and clad in a yellow saari she emitted a golden glow. Her ten hands possessed ten different weapons. Though she appeared beautiful her face turned blue with anger when she faced Chondo and Mundo. From her third eye then emerged a Devi with a large falchion and a shield. She had a large face, bloody tongue and sunken blood shot eyes. She was Chamunda. With a bloodcurdling shriek she leapt forward and killed them. This moment was the juncture of the 8th and 9th lunar day.

 

Age old yardsticks for measuring the "Sandhikhan" -

Long back devotees in order to perform the Sandhi Puja at the exact juncture used a number of methods. With the last 24 mins. of the Ashtami puja still left, a bronze bowl with a tiny hole was placed in a bucket full of water. The bowl with the tiny hole was made in such a way that it took exactly 24 minutes for the bowl to submerge in the water. The moment the bowl submerged in the water cannon balls were

 

fired announcing this moment of Sandhi Puja. This yardstick for measuring the "Sandhikhan" was very popular ages ago in many "Rajbaris". Many "Rajbaris", including, the zamindar of Sutanuti of Sobhabajar Rajbari fired cannon balls to announce the "Sandhikhan". People around Sobhabajar waited for this indication to proceed with their puja. King of Krishnanagar, Raja Krishna Chandra, was given the

 

cannon of Plassey as a gift from Robert Clive. In Shikharbhum Rajbari a platter with vermillion (sindur) used to be kept in front of the Devi. It is said the foot prints of the Devi could be seen in the platter. This moment indicated the commencement of Sandhi Puja. Sabarno Raychoudhury of Barisha worshipped the Chamunda Devi by burning 'Layta' and 'Pholui' (types of fishes) fishes.

 

Things needed to perform Sandhi Puja -

Sandhi Puja requires 108 lotus flowers, a single fruit, dry rice grain for "noibiddo", 108 earthen lamps, clothes, jewelry, hibiscus garlands and wood apple (bel) leaves. The almost non existent rituals which underwent changes with the changes in the society can still be seen in some of the 200-250 year old Pujas.

taken when was looking around the turbine hall of the tate modern with sgoralnick a few months back. basically doris salcedo has put a massive crack in the floor of the turbine hall and what a nice crack it is to, only problem is a few people found it to hard to have a look at the crack with out falling in it or getting there limbs stuck in it so its now behind a barrier. i fund this out when looking in to Meg Pickard's photo stream today. i reckon the same people who have the legs stuck in doris salcedo crack are the same people making such a fuss over flickr video.
