Cosas de casa:juegos de mesa/table games I understand - but it's all I have.
Our children being grown up and having no grandchildren, we gave our table games to other young members of the family.
This giant chess set can be seen at Portmeirion, an Italian-style village, the brainchild of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis who wanted to bring tourism to this corner of North Wales, without spoiling its beauty. I believe he succeeded.

To clarify some things:
- I made this to show myself and others that I'm still capable of making nice weapons in PMG.
- I'd like to apologize again for what I did and didn't.
- I know Jake likes this weapon.
- I probably won't be a full active member again, but I'll see what I can do. I really miss the community.
- Thanks for the positive feedback on the WIP.

Procida is a small island off the coast of Naples. I visited on a day trip from the neighbouring island of Ischia.
The island of Procida can be reached by car ferry and hydrofoil from the ports of Naples, Pozzuoli and the island of Ischia.
There are three ports with the biggest and most important of these being Marina Grande, also called Sancio Cattolico, Facades of different shades of yellow, pink and blue stretch throughout the port.
Over the Marina Grande is the castle where a jail was held until the second half of the 80’s.
It is said that fishermen painted their houses in different colors so that they could recognize them from the sea.

I haven't done this before, that is putting up the whole car, after a close cropped semi-abstract close-up, but I figured many of you would not have seen the original Jaguar to be in it's entirety. I know, I really need to learn how to get rid of the distracting crowds, maybe this summer I will learn.....maybe not, but I will repeat data from the image I posted this morning, again.
1935 Swallow SS 1 Four Seat Coupe. (the SS is for Super Swallow)
William Lyons' Swallow Corp had made it's place in the sun by making sporty side cars in the 20s and then by sporting up cheap Austin 7s and tiny Morris models. Using both engine and chassis from John Black's Standard Motors, he created his own complete car, radical and gorgeous, first shown in 1931, and available for sale in '32, that featured a very low silhouette, and a markedly long hood that just shouted class and speed, though it was markedly underpowered at first.
The leather and wood interior was first rate and it was a major bargain when considering only looks. Eventually they upped the power, but these wonderfully sleek first cars were lookers and not goers. The later SS 100 with the 3.5 engine would usually reach an actual 100mph (fast for this day and the road conditions, but this SS 1 tops out at 75 mph, helped if the road is down-hill. It was post war that Jaguar (renamed due to the SS looking just like the insignia of the feared Nazi group) came into it's own engine wise, with their own creation, a killer twin OHC straight 6 that brought them 5 LeMans wins, and they finely had that rare combination of speed, and looks that made the marque so supremely special.

A full size counterweight trebuchet on the grounds of Warwick Castle in Warwickshire, UK.
The trebuchet is a compound machine that makes use of the mechanical advantage of a lever and potential energy to fling projectiles up to 140 kg/350lb as far as 300 metres/290 yards.
Occasionally, disease-infected rotting carcasses were flung into cities in an attempt to infect and terrorize people under siege, an early medieval form of biological warfare.
The trebuchet did not become obsolete until the 13th century, well after the introduction of gunpowder, it has been described as the "most powerful weapon of the Middle Ages."
I usually rather post portrait shots but here is Fynn full size in all his fluffy glory for a change. Yesterday he had to stay indoors all day as I wasn't home most of the time due to my dad's birthday. Therefore Fynn was more than pleased when he was allowed to go out in the garden again this morning. An absence of more than 24 hours always calls for a thorough inspection but he was slightly distracted as Sethi was somewhere in the garden too.
This is a rather special Gobblet, my wife bought it for me while on holiday in Cornwall.....The Wine is Mcguigan's Black Label Red, a rather nice Shiraz. A lovely Souvenir, with good memories

HOW I PHOTOGRAPH SMALL, FAST BIRDS IN FLIGHT
(A lot of the credit for this method goes to my new friend named Brian who I met at Fletcher Wildlife Gardens yesterday. He gave me some key tips that improved my existing method - thanks a million Brian!)
1. Find a location with lots of birds flying back and forth in a predictable, repeating pattern. Feeders are perfect.
2. Set up your tripod in order to give you the desired approach angle of the birds coming in to the feeder. If you want images of birds without seeds in their mouths you have to catch them coming in, not leaving. Also, make test shots to try to get a nice background or at least one you can work with in post processing.
3. Focus your lens on a spot on the outer edge of feeder closest to where the majority of the birds are coming to it. If they are coming to the feeder from the trees to the left then focus on the far left edge of the feeder.
4. Gently switch your lens to manual focus using the switch on the lens, thereby disabling the auto focus.
5. Rotate your tripod head or gimbal head slightly to the left so that your field of view does not have the feeder in it, but only the small air corridor immediately to the left of it. This is your target shooting zone. Lock down your tripod/gimbal to prevent any tilting or panning.
6. Set your aperture to as high a number as you dare to go as this will increase your depth of field and thereby increase your odds of getting your subjects in sharp focus. Unfortunately, the higher the aperture setting the higher your ISO will be, but that's still better than having a blurry image. You'll need to experiment. For this reason full sun days are the best.
7. Set your shutter speed to 1/2500th of a sec. You can experiment with faster and slower.
8. I set the ISO to Auto-ISO as this has been my preference for many years... it works very well for me.
9. Set your shutter activation speed to maximum speed. I use 10 frames per second on my Nikon D500, but I've had good results at 6 to 7 fps.
10. When you're all set, stand up straight and don't look through your lens, but look in the direction from where the birds will be coming and have your finger on the shutter button. When you see one of your darling little models coming in, get ready to rattle off a short burst of no more than 3-4 shots.
After a bit of practice you'll be able to get a framed bird in almost every burst. However, in even 10 such captured flight images only a few, if any, will be useable because many don't have nice open wing positions and most are not quite sharp enough to be useable. Nevertheless, you should be able to come away from a 1-2 hour session with a keeper or two,
A word about bird behavior. I was there for about 3 hours and I've spent lots of time at other public bird feeders and what I've found is that the really busy group-feeding happens in waves. There are always a few birds here and there coming it to the feeders, but then there's a whole feeding frenzy with many dozens of birds coming in one after another giving you lots of opportunities to capture some good images. Be patient and the next wave will be sure to happen.
Good luck and enjoy!

The Mosaic Montage Monday theme for today is Tall/Short. This image is constructed from two multiple exposures, the right hand side was taken a week or so ago in the Veg Out Community Gardens and is a short little model windmill, about the same height as me. The left hand side was taken last year and is the old full size windmill near the Woodlands Homestead at Woodlands Historic Park.
Happy Mosaic Montage Monday everyone!

I took this shot when I was on the photography trip in Finish Archipelago National Park near the Turku city. And this is probably one of my first photos of that kind of light so, if you have some advices please feel free to tell me... If you would like to see the picture of the different place which I took next morning you can see it here: www.flickr.com/photos/38628972@N05/5764395639/in/photostream

This is a full-size, UK-built replica of the HMS Endeavour, Captain James Cook's famous vessel. It is a permanent tourist attraction moored in Whitby, North Yorkshire, which was the hometown of the original ship's build and where Cook began his maritime career.
The original Endeavour was built in Whitby in 1764 as a collier ship named the Earl of Pembroke before being purchased by the Royal Navy for Cook's historic voyage of discovery (1768–1771) to the Pacific. The replica was built in 1993 and is permanently docked. Unlike its Australian counterpart, it was never designed to sail or have its own engine; it must be towed if moved. The vessel operates as a floating museum and visitor attraction known as the "Endeavour Experience Whitby". It features interactive displays about life at sea in the 18th century, a café, and a restaurant. The ship was purchased by a new owner in August 2022 and underwent extensive renovations to enhance its appeal as a unique destination for dining and events. It remains a prominent feature of Whitby's harbour.
Some low-res jpgs of a recent project I did for my friend Kat. Overall it was great fun, and a huge learning opportunity. It was also nice to have a graphic design project that didn't revolve around clients, proper logos, and some damned committee.
I'll probably post some higher res versions of the photos when I get some time. Also, check out her website for some more shots and graphics I did. My friend Ændrew is a fast one with the web design. It was awesome to put this thing together in one 4 or 5-hour sitting.
To complete the plug trifecta, here's a cheesy link to my own woefully incomplete webpage (sorry; it's very much a work in progress).
