You can't be a photographer in Austin and not have your own shot of this iconic wall. I love the wall, but the pic is not very exciting so it was fun to play around in Photomatix to spice it up a bit. HSS Y'all!!
My Bulldog which I uploaded a couple of days ago, it got around 450 views, so this is how to make it. It's really simple and most people will have the parts needed to make it.

Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park, containing a picturesque tarn, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Coniston and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Hawkshead. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.
Tarn Hows is fed at its northern end by a series of valley and basin mires and is drained by Tom Gill which cascades down over several small waterfalls to Glen Mary bridge: named by John Ruskin who felt that Tom Gill required a more picturesque name and so gave the area the title 'Glen Mary'.
The Tarn Hows area originally contained three much smaller tarns, Low Tarn, Middle Tarn and High Tarn.
Wordsworth's Guide Through the District of the Lakes (1835 edition) recommends walkers to come this way but passes the tarns without mention.
Until 1862 much of the Tarn Hows area was part of the open common grazing of Hawkshead parish. The remaining enclosed land and many of the local farms and quarries were owned by the Marshall family of Monk Coniston Hall (known as Waterhead House at the time). James Garth Marshall (1802–1873) who was the Member of Parliament for Leeds (1847–1852) and third son of the industrialist John Marshall, gained full possession of all of the land after an enclosure act of 1862 and embarked on a series of landscape improvements in the area including expanding the spruce, larch and pine plantations around the tarns; demolition of the Water Head Inn at Coniston; and the construction of a dam at Low Tarn that created the larger tarn that is there today.
By 1899 Tarn Hows was already an important beauty spot. H.S. Cowper mentions "Tarn Hows, beloved by skaters in winter and picnic parties in summer. Here comes every day at least one charabanc load of sightseers from Ambleside or Windermere". A wooden boat house that was still standing in the 1950s at the south east corner of the tarn probably dated from this period. In 1913 G.D. Abraham said "Tarn Hows is set wildly among larches and heather slopes, more like a highland lake than the other waters in Lakeland... more suitable for pedestrians than motorists".
In 1930 the Marshall family sold 4,000 acres (16 km2) of their land to Beatrix Heelis of Sawrey (better known as Beatrix Potter) for £15000. She then sold the half of this land containing the tarn to the National Trust and bequeathed the other half to them in her will.
Tarn Hows was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1965.
The National Trust have made a number of more recent changes to the area including moving the car parks to a less obtrusive place in the 1960s and general footpath and road improvements to minimize the damage caused by the visitors. In May 2008 a building designed to harmonise with the landscape was opened, providing toilets and an information display under a sedum roof.
Dear ulya (my friend), about your idea of making a shimmering waterfall... I failed at attempting to make it happen. I will try again, nonethless! :D
*sigh* I'm so sorry I haven't been a good contact recently. I'll try my best to catch up with your streams now -- though I can't promise you on that..
Frustrated. That's how I feel right now, in this minute. I want to pull my hair out of my head and whisper to myself that everything will be all fine. But, when I closed my eyes to escape from pain and urge to crash the plates...
I opened them and realized I'll be stuck in reality. I can't run away.
AAAA I'm so cheesy.
I got up insanely early last Saturday to go to the Adirondack Balloon Festival in Glens Falls, NY. It should have taken me about 50 minutes to get there, and I gave myself plenty of extra time, as I wanted to be there for the sunrise when the balloons started lifting off. Unfortunately, no one told me that apparently everyone on the East Coast goes to this balloon festival, so it took about 1.5 hours to go the last 2 miles. I couldn't believe how many people there were!
Shortly after I took this picture, that bank of fog in the background rolled in and most of the balloons that were going to take off shut down again. It was a fun time, but if you plan on going, you'd better leave early!

It was a rainy day, chilly for Spain, and the sea was very flat and still, but incredibly cold. But we'd alredy got changed into our swimming things, so we had to go in
33/52 Photograph to make sense of the past: what has been, and how it has affected what has come after.
Together with my husband, our combined love of antiques has affected our lives today. My husband has been a collector of antique pharmacy and poison bottles for over 35 years. My eye goes to many things, from rustic wooden boxes to colourful vintage cameras. I just love that vintage, once loved and worn look and feel. We enjoy scouring antique shops, auctions and junk shops, looking for our next treasure! These colourful window bottles in an antique shop caught my eye but no treasures were purchased that day. The search goes on!
is to late............................♥
============================================================================
How many times i couln’t sleep
Cause i saw you dien’ in my dreams
How many times you lied to me
Raised my hopes and i belived
So many times you went away
Even thou you promest me to stay
You always said soon it'll be ok
But till today, nothing’s changed
And now i know, It’s too late
You lost your soul, You’ll never change
This strength of mine, Wasn’t strong enough
You choosed his life, Instead of love
And now i know, It’s too late
You lost your soul, You’ll never change
This streath of mine, Wasn’t strong enough
You choosed his life, Instead of us
How many times they said i’m a fool
But it’s your child i have faith in you
I always thought one day i would realize
Leaving him reatcin paradise
But now i know it was just a dream
Now i know it will never be
a beautiful completed family
you just exist in my dreams
And now i know, It’s too late
You lost your soul, You’ll never change
This strength of mine, Wasn’t strong enough
You choosed his life, Instead of love
And now i know, It’s too late
You lost your soul, You’ll never change
This streath of mine, Wasn’t strong enough
You choosed his life, Instead of us
Intead of us (Ayo)................................and please , you see this video have excellent photos
I found four flints with holes in them.
I intend to use them for dowsing experiments - pendulums.

As a photographer you don't always get the respect you deserve from your subject.
We had spent several days in the Highlands searching for a wild rut. And this was the response I got when we were finally successful.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

Some time ago I read that accordingly to Google's zeitgeist the top searches around the world starting with "How to" were:
* How to kiss
* How to cook rice
* How to lose weight
In nearly every country, those were among the top ten searches.
Not to mention "How to become a vampire" in some european countries...
How did this very large Branch get on the exposed beach between Holkham and Burnham Overy.
I wonder where it came from , and how long was it afloat before getting stranded on this wonderful beach.
I've never managed to work out why there are so many pylons around this area. I'm not aware of a power station or similar in the vicinity. Standing on the top of a hill not far away and casting an eye over the landscape there are loads of them :-(
One day I might grab a pair of binoculars and count them out of some kind of morbid curiosity. Just to put my mind at rest n all that.
Anyone interested in this kind of thing can maybe take a look at my 'Seriously. What the **** were they thinking?" Flickr album which contains a few photos of houses that people have bought with a pylon close to the property. Bewildering. Behind the trees in the valley there looks to be a nice stone building. What a terrible outlook.
You know exactly what to do,
So that I can't stay mad at you for too long,
That's wrong
And I hate how much I love you boy,
I can't stand how much I need you,
But I just can't let you go,
And I hate that I love you so.

Poor Vidalia longs to cuddle, but Cumin wants nothing of it. Thankfully, Vidalia regularly cuddles with Curio and Mr. Grigsby.
