As neuroses go, it's probably not among the most damaging that a poor tortured soul might have to endure. In fact, considering everything that ails humankind these days I probably shouldn't mention it at all. But here's the thing. I hate my name. Always have done since I was old enough to master all three syllables. And don't tell me it's a nice name. It doesn't matter whether you think it is or not, because as the person who has to live with it, it's on my birth certificate, my driving licence and my passports (both British and Irish) and I detest it with a passion. During the early years of my working life I'd give my name to somebody over the phone and then have to spell out every single letter. One builder whose accounts I was given to work on called me “Sebastian” instead. Which sounded quite ridiculous in a West Cornwall accent. He thought it was hilarious, and he was the customer so I had to grin politely and put up with it. Whenever I say my name it sounds as if I'm a very minor member of the aristocracy. An impoverished fourth son of the baron of a dried up salt marsh who stopped receiving invitations to an audience with the king in the early 1950’s. Nowadays, only people who've known me forever call me Dominic. Generally speaking that's my parents, although my sister often slips into it. She's also had three syllables dumped on her. Rebecca, but only Mum, who remains insistent on this nonsense, calls her that. Everyone else has always called her Becky. My brother is kinder and calls me Dom unless he's in a playful mood and wants to annoy me. As you’ll read later, he got away lightly.
I dropped the “inic” many years ago and anyone who has come into my orbit over the last twenty years simply knows me as Dom. My closest friends only know me as Dom, because that's what I told them my name was when I met them for the first time. “Dom” I can deal with, even though it's often misheard as John or Tom, or mistyped as Don. Once in Barcelona I told the waitress I was “Domingo.” It was the only way to avoid confusion. As for “Dominic,” hardly anyone could spell that correctly. There'd be a K on the end, or two many O's and not enough ‘I's. Or all of those things. One secretary where I worked in my twenties always called me Dominique. Spelt it that way on Christmas cards too. Even though I love France, I'm not French. In the same workplace, an IT consultant spent a few weeks with us and was introduced to me as Nic. It was only when he had to put his full name on a form that I realised we had the same first name. He obviously hated Dominic too, but had been rather more inventive than me at throwing the nomenclature pedants off the scent. Why hadn't I thought of Nic? That would have been much better. Although I suppose everyone would still have added a K on the end. Later on, a cleaner who was hovering on the brink of retirement became convinced my name was Duncan. “Alright Duncan?” she’d chirp squeakily as she came in to empty the bins at the end of each day. I’ve really no idea where she’d got Duncan from, and before long, it was too late to disabuse her. To her, I’d always be Duncan. My colleagues loved this. As for my surname, don't even go there. It's Haughton, not Houghton or Horton or any similar version of events. Hardly anyone gets that right first time. Almost everyone says it wrong too. Even people who've known me for years pronounce it wrongly. I've been on many adventures with Lee, and he still pronounces it Howton. But it's Horton. Spelt Haughton. With an A and only one O, and definitely no R's. Keeping up? Can you see why it drives me around the bend? Told you it was a pain to live with. I've been dealing with this for nearly sixty flipping years!
Three syllables for goodness sake. Nobody needs three syllables in a forename. It's one too many. When I was four and a half, my brother came along. I was not impressed at having to share my parents with anyone else, and to add insult to injury they called him David. Why couldn't I have been called David, like David was? I protested bitterly and begged our parents to call me David too, but they heartlessly ignored me. I was stuck with Dominic, no matter how much I detested those three syllables. And he can be abbreviated to Dave. Everyone hears and spells Dave correctly. Nobody says, “come again, was that Wade?” Or “pleased to meet you Gabe!” You couldn't possibly get it wrong.
“So why bring all of this up now?” is a question you might be asking. Well at the time of writing, and after a few days in Cork catching up with my family, I'm on the west coast of Ireland, on the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry to be exact. Kerry. That’s another name you can’t really get wrong. Staying in a cottage where the host greeted me as Dom. “A good place to write,” as my cousin Fiona pointed out. She's the only one of eight siblings with a triple syllable by the way. But really, Fiona is more like two and a bit as you can merge the vowels almost seamlessly. All eight of my Irish cousins, and my aunt and uncle, being among the people who've known me longest on this planet, call me Dominic, pretty much without exception. I've been Dominic for four days now. But the strange thing is, I don't mind it so much when they say it. Something about the easy stretching of the vowels and the gentle Cork lilt that makes me sound like the strange Cornish cousin that I am, rather than the landed gentry at the big house in Midleton where my Great Grandfather worked as head gardener over a hundred years ago. They all have that same twinkle about them that Grandad did too. But when you breathe in a landscape like this on a daily basis, it’s no wonder really. It’s a rare place this.
I'm here today and tomorrow, and then I'm back to Cork where I'll become Dominic again for a couple of days until I land back in Cornwall early next week. When I’m home, I’ll be Dom - so don’t get any ideas. Not unless you’re Irish that is. Especially if you’re from Cork. Then, just maybe, I might just let you get away with it without pulling a face that tells you what I really think about those three dreaded syllables.
Shes very cold in this form and she has a limit if she stays too long her heart will stop and she will die
to build a blockade and defende it with violence, is not retreat (i ging 35) it makes impossible every kind of progress (i ging 33) it is a kind of violence and force - it leaves everything unsolved.
(Blocken ist nicht Rückzug: man denke zum Beispiel an den Unterschied zwischen sich (z.B.: bei einer Party) in einen menschenleeren anderen Raum zurückziehen - jemanden hinausschmeissen)

Le phare au sommet de l’Île aux Perroquets, Archipel-de-Mingan, Côte-Nord, Québec, Canada.
Une vue à partir de la plage de galets de l’île lors de l'Excursion en mer - Le Phare I en partance de Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan.
Située à l’extrémité ouest de l’Archipel-de-Mingan, l’Île aux Perroquets est un joyau parmi le chapelet d’îles de l’archipel de Mingan. Composée de pierre calcaire, cette île mythique, surmontée d’un phare, baigne dans la partie la plus étroite et la plus turbulente du détroit de Jacques-Cartier, entre la Côte-Nord et l’île d’Anticosti. Ce secteur difficile à la navigation explique la présence du phare entré en fonction dès 1888.
Longue de 350 mètres et large de moins de 100 mètres, cet îlot forme un plateau rocheux dont le sommet s’élève à 12 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Ses falaises abruptes présentent un escarpement favorable à la nidification des Macareux moines. Surnommés perroquets des mers, ces oiseaux ont effectivement donné son nom à l'Île aux Perroquets. Cet escarpement s’abaisse légèrement au sud et s’enfonce dans la mer à l’est. C’est là, côté est, le seul endroit pour y accoster.
La réserve de parc national de l'Archipel-de-Mingan est l'un des quatre parcs nationaux du Canada située dans la MRC de Minganie au Québec. Elle protège 150 km2 d'un chapelet d'îles calcaires situées sur la Côte-Nord du golfe du Saint-Laurent au large de Havre-Saint-Pierre face à l'île d'Anticosti. On y retrouve des structures géologiques exceptionnelles (les monolithes) ainsi qu'une végétation de type boréal. Les eaux entourant les îles sont riches en oiseaux et en vie marine. Le symbole du parc est d'ailleurs le macareux moine qui niche sur certaines îles de l'archipel.
trying to get myself back into shooting film. unfortunately everything on this roll was underexposed but still beautiful environments
About a thousand years ago, Native Americans of the Fremont Culture occupied the area now designated as Dinosaur National Monument, which straddles the Utah-Colorado state boundary.
One of those artsy-fartsy gallery things.

I got a dress form today, and look at the desk! I made it: www.flickr.com/photos/25260105@N03/14939683396/
It was a lot of little sawing, but I think it turned out great. I didn't plan on making one until the idea just hit me last night. I had ordered two basic desk tables but this corner desk is going to work out way better, and the measurements are perfect.
Des icebergs aux formes incroyables dérivent sur le lac Jökulsárlón. Seuls 10 % sont visibles au-dessus du niveau de l'eau. Les icebergs de Jökulsárlón fondent rapidement à cause de l'entrée d'eau de mer chaude dans le lac. Leur instabilité peut être due à une fonte sous-marine irrégulière, qui les fait parfois se briser ou rouler brusquement, formant de grosses vagues. Ils sont un mélange de glace, de sable, de gravier, de téphra et de bulles d'air. Cette composition est clairement visible dans les icebergs qui se détachent du front du glacier. La couleur bleue de la glace dense est due au fait qu'elle absorbe toutes les couleurs du spectre sauf le bleu, qui est réfléchi. Ainsi, la glace transparente paraît bleue. Cette teinte bleue s'atténue lorsqu'elle fond au soleil. Sous le niveau de l'eau, la glace fond sans contact avec l'air. C'est pourquoi la couleur bleue est si frappante après le basculement d'un iceberg, laissant la partie de la glace immergée exposée.
Icebergs of incredible shapes drift on Jökulsárlón lake. Only 10% is visible above the water level. The icebergs in Jökulsárlón melt rapidly because warm seawater enters the lake. They can become unstable due to non-uniform underwater melting, which sometimes causes them to break or roll suddelnly, forming big waves. Glacial ice is a mixture of ice, sand, gravel, tephra end air bubbles. The composition is clearly seen in the icebergs that break off the glacier snout. The blue color of the dense ice is due to the fact that it absorbs all colors of the spectrum except blue, which is reflected. Therefore, clear ice seems blue. The blue hue is diminished when is melted by the sun. Beneath the water level, ice melts wihout contact with the air. This is why the blue color is so striking after an iceberg has tipped over, so the part of the ice that wa underwater becomes exposed.

Excerpt from the plaque:
From Line to Form
Brian Donnelly began his artistic journey at the age of 12 with graffiti – a style of art that breaks convention. He began tagging the streets of his hometown, Jersey City, eventually branching out to Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. This was the formative period when he developed his artist persona KAWS and several of his signature motifs. In 1993 he enrolled in Manhattan’s School of Visual Arts, where he received technical training. This salon-style hang of works reveals his love of drawing and his dedication to refining his skill.
KAWS’s time as a graffiti artist was foundational to what would become the ethos of his current practice: claiming public spaces, communicating with broad audiences, and self-promotion through creating.
Tall trees form a light forest canopy at Pinery Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
Pinery Provincial Park was initially reforested with red and white pine trees giving the park its name. However, the area is not naturally a pine forest; the natural ecology is a very rare oak savanna. Only later was the true value of the natural ecology recognized, and the health of the oak savanna is now promoted.

Eine besondere Form der Abzweigstelle, die heutzutage äußerst selten geworden ist bei den europäischen Eisenbahnen, ist diese Betriebsstelle an der Schmalspurbahn Jindrichov Hradec bzw. an der durch Jindrichuv Hradec führende Normalspurstrecke. Hier mündet die bosnische Spur mit 760 mm in das Normaspurgleis mit 1435 mm und wird bis zum Bahnhot Jindrichuv Hradec als Dreischienengleis weitergeführt. Triebwagen M27 004 befährt gerade, von Kamenice nac Lipou kommend, den Abzweig.
Es una torre formada por tres cuerpos, El primer cuerpo, dodecagonal, fue construido entre 1220 y 1221 por orden del gobernador almohade de Sevilla, Abù l-Ulà. En cuanto al segundo cuerpo, también dodecagonal hay disparidad de opiniones, pues por un lado se afirma que éste pertenecía a la obra original almohade, y por otro lado que fue mandado construir por Pedro I el cruel en el siglo XIV aunque de esta hipótesis no se tiene constancia de ningún texto antiguo que lo afirme y parece más cerca de la leyenda que de la realidad. Por último el cuerpo superior, cilíndrico y rematado en cúpula dorada, fue construido en 1760 por el ingeniero militar Sebastián Van der Borcht tras el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755.
Fue declarada monumento histórico-artístico en 1931 y ha sido restaurada varias veces. En la Edad Contemporánea fue restaurada en 1900, entre 1991 y 1992, en 1995 y en 2005. En su conservación ha sido importante la labor de la Armada. Se encuentra en buen estado de conservación y alberga el Museo Naval de Sevilla.

Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the Sun is just below the horizon. The clouds are illuminated from below and often glow in vivid colours. Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the Sun is just below the horizon. The ice particles that form nacreous clouds are much smaller than those that form more common clouds. These smaller particles scatter light in a different way, which is what creates the distinctive luminescent appearance.
Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the Earth’s surface, these clouds are lit up by sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn and after dusk. They are most likely to be viewed when the Sun is between 1º and 6º below the horizon and in places with higher latitudes, such as Scandinavia and northern Canada. For this reason, they are sometimes known as polar stratospheric clouds. Nacreous clouds only form below -78 °C so are most likely to occur during the polar winter.
Because of the very low temperatures required, nacreous clouds are usually only visible from the UK when the cold air which circulates around polar regions in the stratosphere (known as the stratospheric polar vortex) is displaced and hovers temporarily over the UK. Source, UK Met office
