Here are the lyrics of a song of Nana Mouskouri, a famous international singer, on the melody of "the choir of the slaves", Nabucco, Verdi. (The English version is a little different from the French one...) For Ukraine and the world... with my "Peace Rose".
Voici les paroles d'une chanson de Nana Mouskouri, une célèbre chanteuse internationale, sur l'air du "Choeur des esclaves", Nabucco, Verdi. (La verson anglaise est un peu différente de la version française...) Pour l'Ukraine et le monde... Avec ma rose "Madame Meilland".
"Je chante avec toi Liberté"
Quand tu chantes je chante avec toi Liberté
Quand tu pleures je pleure aussi ta peine
Quand tu trembles je prie pour toi Liberté
Dans les joies ou les larmes je t'aime
Souviens-toi des jours de ta misère
Mon pays tes bateaux étaient tes galères
Quand tu chantes je chante avec toi Liberté
Et quand tu es absente j'espère
Qui es-tu ? Religion ou bien réalité
Une idée de révolutionnaire
Moi je crois que tu es la seule vérité
La noblesse de notre Humanité
Je comprends qu'on meure pour te défendre
Que l'on passe sa vie à t'attendre
Quand tu chantes je chante avec toi Liberté
Dans la joie ou les larmes je t'aime
Les chansons de l'Espoir ont ton nom et ta voix
Le chemin de l'Histoire nous conduira vers toi
Liberté, Liberté
"Song for Liberty"
When you sing I'm singing with you Liberty
When you cry I cry with you in sorrow
When you suffer I'm praying for you Liberty
For your struggles will bring us a new tomorrow
Days of sad darkness and fear must one day crumble
For the forces of your kindness and love make them tremble
When you sing I'm singing with you Liberty
In the void of your absence I keep searching for you
Who are you dream illusion or just reality
Faith ideal desire revolution
I believe you're the symbol of our Humanity
Lighting up the world for Eternity
I can see when men die to defend you
Try to guard to protect and attend you
When you sing I'm singing with you Liberty
With your tears or your joys I love you
Let us sing and rejoice make our own History
Songs of Hope with one voice guide us to Victory
Liberty, Liberty

Something is going wrong when the camera with its impressive algorithms and countless AF options forces itself into the centre and, hence, between photographer and object. Ideally, I would think, we photographers ought to use the camera as if it was not there. Just focussing on the composition and the 'essence' of the object and having the settings run in the background. I am not advocating 'point and shoot', I am saying that a camera should be built in such a way that we can 'forget' about it and focus on taking the picture. I think my older cameras do that. My newer ones are much more sophisticated and what they are increasingly trying to do is take over decisions I could make myself. What is my reaction? Number one, I prefer using my older cameras. And two, when using my sophisticated ones, I turn off a lot of their computer-powered procedures. I wonder what you think.
Why spider webs glisten with dew
Two driving forces acting on wet spider silk help it to capture water.

Researchers have puzzled out how spider silk is able to catch the morning dew. Their findings may lead to the development of new materials that are able to capture water from the air.
The study, published today in Nature1, examines the silk of the hackled orbweaver spider Uloborus walckenaerius. "Bright, pearl-like water drops hang on thin spider silk in the morning after fogging," says study author Lei Jiang from the Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences. "It is unexpected and interesting. Human hair can't do that."
Dry spider silk forms a necklace-like structure. Two main fibres support a series of separate rounded 'puffs', each made up of tiny, randomly intertwined nanofibrils. When water vapour condenses onto these puffs, they shrink into densely packed knots, shaped like spindles (or two cones with their bases stuck together). Thinner connecting stretches of nanofibrils, separating the knots, become more apparent; these areas are called 'joints'.
The researchers studied the webs under both electron and light microscopes. They noticed that as water condenses on the web, droplets move towards the nearest spindle-knot, where they coalesce to form larger drops.
The spindle-knots have a rough surface, because the fibrils within them are randomly interweaved. But the joints between the knots have a smooth texture, because their constituent fibrils run parallel to each other. It is this difference in roughness that helps water drops to slide towards the spindle-knots, sticking when they arrive.
The cone shape of the spindle-knots also drives droplets towards their centre. Once they hit the edge of a cone, drops are propelled towards its base, the least curved region, because of the pressure difference caused by surface tension.
Mimicking nature
Guided by their findings, the team made their own artificial spider silk using nylon fibres dipped in a polymer solution that, when dried, formed spindle-knots similar to those in natural spider silk. They anticipate that their studies of these fibres could lead to new materials for collecting water from the air.
"It is impressive that they were able to produce an analogue of wetted [spider] thread that duplicated the properties that they observed," says spider silk expert Brent Opell of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
But it doesn't seem likely that natural selection has directed the evolution of this particular spider's silk for water collection, he adds. The spider's thread seems to have evolved to work best when it is dr
La rosada s'observa de matinada, amb nits serenes i encalmades, tot i que no és estrany veure-la tot just després del crepuscle. És més freqüent en llocs baixos i plans que en els cims de les muntanyes. La major part dels dies, quan surt el sol, el terra s'escalfa i les gotes d'aigua desapareixen ràpidament en evaporar-se. Quan l'observador disposa d'instrumental de mesura homologat i en bon estat de funcionament, pot constatar com un augment de la humitat absoluta i/o un descens de la temperatura en la capa d'aire més propera a terra són condicions necessàries per a la formació de la rosada. Cal insistir que la rosada no és un tipus de precipitació des d'un núvol. La rosada va associada a humitats relatives altes, habitualment superiors al 80%.[1]
Degut a la seva dependència del balanç de radiació, les quantitat de radiació poden arribar a un màxim teòric de 0,8 mm per nit, tanmateix, rarament excedeixen de 0,5 mm. i de 40 a 50 mm per any.[2] A la majoria dels climes del món la quantitat de rosada és massa petita per competir amb la pluja. En regions amb estació seca considerable plantes adaptades com els líquens o les plànules de pins es beneficien de la rosada. A gran escala regar sense pluja a llocs com el desert d'Atacama o el Namib es fan capturant la boira no pas la rosada.
Un aparell clàssic de mesurar la rosada és el drosòmetre encara que només proporciona el potencial de formació de rosades. Per a mesurar la quantitat real de rosada es fan servir petits lisímetres o altres mètodes.

Perhaps helpful information for users of the Canon 1D series APS-H format cameras:
For some of Canons more modern EF-S lenses there are replacement EF mounts available to buy. The DIY mount conversion is easy, as there are only 6 small screws (4 for the bayonet; 2 for the contacts) holding the EF-S bayonet.
Additional advantage is the now metal mount, as there was always criticism for the plastic lens mounts.
I have successfully converted following EF-s lenses to EF mount:
Canon EF-S 10–18mm f/4.5–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H from ~12mm and even full frame from 14mm upwards)
Canon EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H from ~22mm)
Canon EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H at all focal lengths)

This boardwalk used to lead you to another walking trail at Mission Marsh Conservation area. A severe storm hit the area in 2019, heavy winds and rain knocked over trees. It destroyed part of the boardwalk. They had to decide whether to whether to remove the whole boardwalk. They decided not to replace the damaged area and blocked the boardwalk off.

In Flanders Fields by John Mccrea
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for November 9th is “poppies”, in honour of Armistice Day and Veterans Day, both of which are celebrated on the 11th of November every year. This red poppy I actually photographed in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne a year ago, when whilst I visited there, I came across beds full of beautiful poppies in all kinds of colours. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile, and that it helps you reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace, prosperity and stability, and those who fight today to protect us still. Let us also hope that conflicts around the world will come to a swift conclusion, not least of all in Ukraine and in Gaza.
Armistice Day or Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. It falls on the 11th of November every year. Remembrance Day is marked at eleven o’clock (the time that the armistice was declared) with a minute’s silence to honour the fallen. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.
Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November the 11th, for honouring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
Was inspired by some of Robert’s Vietnam figs with shrubs covering their backs. Tried it with wookies but it wasn’t a good look, so I went with some normal figs for the technique. Tried to evoke feelings from the Battle of Endor and the big ewok battle. Hope it worked!

The dying sunlight casting shadows on the Groynes of Winchelsea beach in East Sussex. The groynes built to help keep the beach from being eroded by the eternal force of the tides, while, in contrast a newer form of energy capture is visible in the distance with the Wind Farm trying to harness another, if somewhat intermittent force of Nature.
On the far right is another power alltogether in the form of the Nuclear Power station at Dungeness.

New Project! New blog! "Who dis?" haha no seriously check out me and my amazinglyyy talented partners' blog.. the|PLATFORM... Be sure to follow her flickr for updates and alternate images as well. HAPPY HALLOWEEN BE SAFE AND ENJOY <3
Actually managed a day out with my camera today, and had the chance to tick 2 locations off my ever-growing bucket list. This beautiful old abandoned church really tickled me, with the oak tree growing up through the middle. Unfortunately we were plagued with very harsh sunlight today, so a return trip is on the cards....;-)
Playing with forces
Life is a game of forces. Of balancing
all forces to be able to achieve my goals.
What kind of forces are working with me? What are
Their origins? I keep finding deferent forces
and I learn how to live with them, use them
or resist them.
But this ability comes from another force –
my inner force.
And if I want to shift or change this inner force
of mine, where can I get the strength for it?
A classic from a well known location in the Faroe Islands - Múlafossur waterfall and the village of Gásadalur on Vágar. We could not complete the trip without stopping by this location and taking a photo or two. We saved it for the last evening of the trip and were rewarded with great and interesting conditions. The muted glow of the sun spreading through low clouds was fantastic.
More about this photo on my Blog and Facebook page.
Pre-Cristobal cloud cover heading in this morning.It is actually pretty dry in our area, but I'm not sure we needed a hurricane to remedy that-a nice shower or two would have been just fine! LOL
The power of nature. Taken during an early morning at this waterfall after an all night rainshower. It rained so badly that I didn't put up my tent but slept in the car ;-)
