Siehst du mich
Hörst du mich
Was hab ich dir getan
Warum zerstörst du mich
Fühlst du mich
Spürst du mich
Wenn du mich nicht mehr liebst
warum berührst du mich
Brauchst du mich
Sag glaubst du nicht
Dass es besser ist
du lebst dein leben ohne mich
Erkennst du mich
Verstehst du nicht
Warum bist du überhaupt noch hier
Was willst du noch von mir
Augen auf
Wer sieht versteht
wie gnadenlos die Zeit vergeht
wie sich der Zeiger dreht
unentwegt
Er steht nie still
Du weißt nicht was du willst
Du weißt nicht wo du stehst
weißt nicht woher du kommst
wohin du gehst
Du weißt nicht was dich treibt
was am Ende für dich bleibt
Warum bist du so blass
so kalt so herzlos
Du weißt nicht was du tust
weißt nicht woran du glaubst
Sag mir wozu und ob
du mich noch brauchst
Wenn's einfach nicht mehr passt
Wenn du mich wirklich nur noch hasst
Warum bist du noch hier
Wofür
Was willst du noch von mir
Was willst du noch
Was willst du noch von mir
Siehst du mich
Erkennst du mich
Ganz tief in meinem Herz ist noch ein Platz für dich
Ich suche dich
Ich sehne mich
nach dem was ich geliebt hab
doch ich find es nicht
Augen auf
Wer sieht versteht
wie gnadenlos die Zeit vergeht
wie sich der Zeiger dreht
unentwegt
Er steht nie still
Viel zu lange
Viel zu spät
Sturm geerntet
Wind gesät
die Zeit vergeht
unentwegt
Sie steht nie still

One of a dozen of new matted and signed arrivals to Picture Your Walls Western New York ...
New Arrivals of Daniel Novak Photo in Picture Your Walls
This was the special evening in October (October 23, 2014) when the partial solar eclipse was visible from the waterfront of Buffalo, NY at sunset time. I was both excited about the time of day as well as concerned. Having the eclipse happen at the sunset time put it low on the horizon. That meant a chance of the sun piercing through the haze over the lake hopefully lowering its intensity, making it look bigger, and possibly a giant red ball. If that worked, there was a chance of including some foreground silhouettes. I was concerned that a low thick layer of clouds might obstruct it altogether.
My plan was to try to photograph the eclipse in a way that would give it a sense of place. I wanted the photo to scream "eclipse over Buffalo". For that reason I headed to the Erie Basin Marina and wanted to include the lighthouse in the photo. Looking at the Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) angles looked good for including both the sun and the Main Light in a single frame.
In the end, it all worked in its own way with no regards to my plans :-) The sky was ...
Moist in the atmosphere are the first signs of the Autumn. The temperatures are still quite comfortable and can't complain about the summer here.
The last two weeks we had a lot of ground fog during the nights. Past week a lot in the morning as well giving these nice settings.
Still haven't decided if I should use a ND or GND filter in this capture, but I was quite satis without...

I visited South Lakes wild animal park yesterday with my fiancee. I dopped her off at 7:45am because I had bought her a present of zoo keeper for the day which she thoroughly enjoyed although she has found muscles that she did not know existed today...lol!! I went off to Coniston water (more of which later) and returned to the park at 10am. This male and female Sumatran tigers had just finished "holding hands" when the female underneath decided enough hand holding was enough!!

I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures from my first trip to the Roan Highlands (taken in late January). All I've got to say is that the Roan Highlands are impressive, even in the bland months of winter! Throw some pink in those rhododendrons, and some green on the trees, and it's no surprise that this becomes a world-class photographic destination! For those who aren't familiar, the Appalachian Trail crosses the summits of the Roan Highlands, taking a generally west-east route. I followed the AT about 1.5 miles to this location on Jane Bald, arriving an hour before sunrise.
This picture is yet another lesson in why you shouldn't pack up early. I knew that a winter storm was coming, so I was hoping that the sunrise would show for at least a little. When sunrise actually came, the first band of clouds obscured the light, and the sunrise seemed to be a bust. I was about to pack up my gear, but decided to wait just a few minutes later (it was 20 - 30 min. after sunrise by this point). I was opening my backpack to pack my stuff up when the sun finally broke through, showering the slopes of Round Bald with golden morning light. Also, at this moment, the first bands of the storm really started coming over the top of Roan Mountain. I would have missed it all if I left when I originally wanted to!
Even though this is probably the single most cliche shot form the Roan Highlands, I'm still very pleased with the picture and my trip. Regarding the picture, I really like the mix of warm and cool colors. with a gradual transition between the two. As far as the trip goes, I'm glad to have scouted out this area for a trip in June!
Listen Amarantine Enya
You know when you give your love away
It opens your heart,
Everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
To let your heart believe it's true.
You know love is everything you say;
A whisper, a word,
Promises you give.
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day.
You know this is the way love is.
[Chorus:]
Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Love is.
Love is.
Love...
You know love may sometimes make you cry,
So let the tears go,
They will flow away,
For you know love will always let you fly
...How far a heart can fly away!
[Chorus]
You know when love's shining in your eyes
It may be the stars
Fallen from above.
And you know love is with you when you rise,
For night and day belong to love.

El interior
Las columnas de la nave central.
Detalle de la bóveda.
Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.
El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.
Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.
The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.
The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).

This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

Hmmmm, so it seems I was REALLY lucky with the previous render I made that it came out so nicely. There was no denoising needed so all of the detail was kept. Here... not so much...
One of the reasons I wanted to use blender for rendering was so that I could make more realistic backdrop materials. I spent a bit setting up the one here with a paper-y texture based on photos I've seen around and in the noisy image, it came out really well. But there were a ton of fireflies in the gangway so I used the basic denoising techniques and suddenly, bye bye paper. I will be looking into using masks to better direct the denoising. Maybe I can constrain it to only look at noise on the model itself and to ignore the backdrop? I may revisit this render from another angle when I have this all figured out. It just looks too soft...
The other reason I wanted to use blender was so that I could add more non-Lego objects, such as the paper cut-out lines here. I think the line came out really well with its thickness, slight imperfections, etc. As for the model, you may recognize it as the base model from the Hibernia Roto-Lift. In fact, the only reused portion is the angled setup of the gangway door. Everything else is new to this build and the structure is far more robust. It is still based on the same concept art though and serves generally the same purpose. The rear landing legs tuck away and the vertical fins fold down into their place for flight. I think I made this pigeon large enough to carry an Imperial tank or ATST.
Oh, and I couldn't decide which mouse droid I liked more, so here are both!
فصل يعرف بالبرد والمطر
ونشعر فيه اننا فى احتياج الى الدفئ
ولكن لماذا دائما عندما يأتى الشتاء
يأتى معه حبنا للوحدة
والشعور الدائم للعودة الى الحنين
ربما عند قدوم ذلك الفصل نتذكر معه
كل ذكرياتنا الماضية
نحّن معه الى دفئ أشخاص قد مروا علينا فى غيمة الشتاء
وحينما ننظر الى المطر نتمنى الطيران
تحت أرجائه وكأننا نريد منه أن يعيد
الينا زمن قد مضى وفات

Luosto is a picturesque ski village with a surprisingly large number of accommodations. Although there are a few hotels, you'll mostly find cozy bungalows here. Luosto is nestled in the heart of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, surrounded by ancient forests, rugged gorges, and peat bogs. It's a unique piece of nature rarely seen in our part of Europe. Finnish Lapland is far to the north, so there's usually plenty of snow here. Luosto offers a stunning landscape for adventurous activities and the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Finnish wilderness. Our plan is to climb the spectacular fell (mountain). As we step out of the car, it feels like nature here is in a deep winter sleep. Our hike begins at dawn in the remote hamlet of Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland, the colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset can be very intense due to the low position of the sun on the horizon. The long twilight periods can create unique colors in the sky, including green hues, due to various scattering effects of sunlight. The trees gently bend under the weight of the snow.
We walk along the ridge of the fells of Ukko-Luosto, passing through the surrounding primeval forest. The summer path to the top is closed due to avalanche danger, so we continue our journey and attempt to reach the summit via the northern ridge of Ukko-Luosto. The path ascends steeply through the enchanting ancient forests, where the trees covered in crown snow look magical. The last section to the top of the mountain has snow too deep for us. The path winds its way to the top of Pikku-Luosto Fell. We sink in and have to crawl to the top. Snowshoes are definitely necessary here. In the impressive Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut, we can take a break, warm up, and admire the magnificent view. It's terribly cold up here on the 514-meter-high mountain, partly due to the biting polar wind. The sun reaches its highest point on this short January day and shines beautifully just over the mountain's peak. There's also a solar halo visible, an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and scattering of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere. We thaw out a bit and rest before starting our return journey. Walking in the snow is exhausting. We take the same route back because we don't want to get stuck in deep snow and aim to be back in Luosto before dark. In total, we walked more than 18,000 steps, but we enjoyed this special place in Lapland. In Luosto, we treated ourselves to delicious reindeer jerky and panna cotta, while BieJee savored a reindeer burger.
Luosto biedt een prachtig landschap voor avontuurlijke activiteiten en de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van de Finse wildernis. Ons plan is om de spectaculaire fell (berg) te beklimmen. Wanneer we uit de auto stappen, lijkt de natuur hier in een diepe winterslaap te verkeren. Onze wandeling begint bij dageraad in het afgelegen gehucht Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland kunnen de kleuren van de lucht tijdens zonsopkomst en zonsondergang zeer intens zijn door de lage stand van de zon aan de horizon. De lange schemerperiodes kunnen unieke kleuren in de lucht veroorzaken, inclusief groene tinten, door verschillende verstrooiingseffecten van het zonlicht. De bomen buigen zachtjes onder het gewicht van de sneeuw. We lopen op de rug van de fells van Ukko-Luosto langs het oerbos in de bijzondere omgeving. Het zomerpad naar de top is afgesloten vanwege lawinegevaar, dus we vervolgen onze weg en proberen de top te bereiken via de noordelijke bergkam van Ukko-Luosto. Het pad loopt steil door de betoverende oerbossen, waar de bomen bedekt met kroonsneeuw er magisch uitzien. Het laatste gedeelte naar de top van de berg is de sneeuwlaag te diep voor ons. Het pad slingert zich een weg naar de top van Pikku-Luosto Fell. We zakken weg en moeten kruipen naar de top. Sneeuwschoenen zijn hier dus echt nodig. In de indrukwekkende Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut kunnen we even bijkomen, op temperatuur komen en het magnifieke uitzicht bewonderen. Het is verschrikkelijk koud hier op de 514 meter hoge berg, mede door de strakke poolwind. De zon bereikt zijn hoogste punt op deze korte januaridag en schijnt prachtig net over de top van de berg. Ook is er een zonnehalo te zien, een optisch fenomeen dat ontstaat door de breking, reflectie en verstrooiing van licht door ijskristallen in de atmosfeer. We ontdooien nog even en rusten uit voordat we beginnen aan onze terugreis. Wandelen in de sneeuw is zwaar. We nemen dezelfde route terug omdat we niet vast willen komen te zitten in de diepe sneeuw en we in ieder geval voor het donker terug willen zijn in Luosto. In totaal hebben we meer dan 18.000 stappen gezet, maar we hebben genoten van deze speciale plek in Lapland. In Luosto hebben we onszelf getrakteerd op heerlijke rendier-jerky en panna cotta, terwijl BieJee genoot van een rendierburger.
"(...)Pour Christine Lebrasseur, utilisatrice intensive de FlickR et photographe amateure depuis à peine un an, FlickR est une source d’inspiration et d’apprentissage inépuisable.
“Si vous comparez mes cinq premières photos et mes cinq dernières, vous allez tout de suite comprendre combien la communauté m’a influencé, dans la qualité, dans la façon de voir les choses. Dans un premier temps, j’ai visité beaucoup de galeries, j’ai laissé des traces chez ceux qui m’ont émue et qui ont été pour moi source d’inspiration. Petit à petit en publiant vos photos, une communauté virtuelle se crée autour de ce que vous faites et vous fait évoluer.
Cet échange est valorisant, même s’il n’a aucun but lucratif, juste le plaisir de partager une émotion, de créer un déclic, même si la personne ne voit pas dans vos photos la même chose que ce que vous y avez mis ou écrit, l’important est de susciter quelque chose.”
Là encore, ce sont les rencontres qui prédominent : “Il y a des gens que j’ai connu via FlickR, virtuellement, et que je pourrais considérer comme des amis. Il m’est arrivé plusieurs fois de recevoir de magnifiques bouquins sur Man Ray ou Sieff via ma Whislist Amazon, de la part de gens de FlickR que je n’ai jamais vu, simplement pour me remercier de l’émotion que leur a procuré mes photos.
FlickR n’est qu’un moyen. Si on publie de mauvaises photos, si on ne parle pas aux gens, ont peut rester tout seul longtemps. Bien sûr, le côté virtuel ne marche pas pour tout le monde Pour certains, la relation reste trop impalpable : ils préfèrent montrer leurs photos à des clients du café du coin plutôt qu’à des milliers d’inconnus virtuels.(...)”

Osprey of the Jersey Shore | 2018
The 2017 Osprey Project in New Jersey:
www.conservewildlifenj.org/downloads/cwnj_802.pdf
Despite New Jersey being the most densely populated state, it holds tremendous diversity in preserved open space, especially our coastal salt marshes. The preservation of these wetland areas has played a huge role in the recovery of the osprey population in New Jersey. Today, they are home to the majority of ospreys (86%) who nest along the Atlantic Coast. Osprey nests define our coast and colonies are located along the entire coast from Sandy Hook to Cape May and west on the Delaware Bayshore up the Maurice River to Salem. This year a total of 668 active nests were recorded in New Jersey, with 75 of those being new nests from various regions of the state. This is well above the historic pre-DDT estimate of 500 nesting pairs and goes to show that ospreys and humans can coexist in New Jersey as long as we continue to protect wetland areas and conserve our natural resources, like forage fish, that ospreys need to thrive. The largest population gains in the state, from 2013 to 2017, were observed in both Monmouth and Ocean Counties, from 130 in 2013 to 207 in 2017.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the Sea Hawk, Fish Eagle or Fish Hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large Raptor, reaching more than 24 inches in length and a 71 inches wingspan. It is brown on the upper parts and predominantly greyish on the head and under parts, with a black eye patch and wings. In 1994, the osprey was declared the provincial bird of Nova Scotia, Canada.
