Practicing my panning technique with mr. flying piggy, needs some work!
The elephant sanctuary is located near Lanchang (there is a small road heading north, just before a BP station), then left at the next intersection. From this point on just head due north and there are enough signposts to guide you. It's in the center of Peninsular Malaysia. About 150 km or no more than 2 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur.
The sanctuary is managed by the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks. This centre was established in 1989. It offers visitors a hands-on introduction to the largest mammal on earth. Worker elephants are trained to help "guide and mother' others during the relocation process to National Park wildlife sanctuaries. Visitors are invited to help bath them in the shallow river or ride them. The juniors have sense of humour, so watch out for a dunking as you try to clamber up their backs!
A base for the Elephant Relocation Team which started in 1974. Being the only centre in Malaysia, the team is dedicated to locating, subduing, translucent problem elephants from areas where their habitats are constantly being encroached by plantations, to Malaysia's National Parks such as Taman Negara. Over the past 25 years the team has successfully relocated around 400 elephants to national parks, bringing the wild elephant population in Malaysia from an alarming low of 500 to about 1200 (2003).
The primary role of the 'Translocation Team' at the centre, is to capture wild elephants that are encroaching on plantations or population centres and to relocate them to national parks.
When a wild elephant is found to be encroaching on farms or population centers, the Elephant Translocation Team is called out. Their first task is to track the wild elephant and tranquilize it, a job that can take days or even weeks. Once the elephant is tranquilized, the next challenge is to move a huge, groggy and generally uncooperative animal out of the jungle and onto a waiting truck. This is when the team relies on their two 50-year-old translocation elephants, Chek Mek and Mek Bunga, to lead the wild elephant out.
Mentompian, a 26-year-old female from Burma, and Abot, a teenage female from Johor, are both being trained to replace the 2 aging elephants.
Without the help of translocation elephants, it would be impossible to get the wild elephant out of the jungle. The two elephants position themselves on either side of the captured elephant while the team attaches chains around its shoulders. Chek Mek and Mek Bunga then slowly and safely move the captured elephant out of the jungle and onto a waiting truck. The captured elephant is taken by road, and then often by barge, to one of a number of protected natural areas where it is set free.

jayjuice created the group "Top 40 Favorites for 2005 as chosen by Me" and invited me.
i was challenged by this exciting adventure and thought it would be a great inducement to reflect my own choises... but the more i looked the harder was it.
at last it seemed impossible to reduce nearly 1800 gorgeous and so much appreciated pictures to only 40!!!
as jayjuice said: "i just wish i could have included some more of my very special photos and friends. just wait until you try to get you favourites down to 40. it's agony!!"
now i'm so happy about these 40 and at the same time so unhappy about missing the others - what an ordeal it must be to make the choise for an exhibition or a book...
... although i wished we could do this one day all together...
Impossible shot of the galaxy behind a city skyline. It is only possible with the AI sky replacement of Luminar 4 software :-)
Amazing architecture from an impossible angle; taken on a trip to Berlin, very lucky to be able to visit and take photographs in this place.
Munchkin's future is so bright, I've got to wear shades.
As far as I know the Munchkin Impossible Sunglasses have no beneft except for glassless Munchkins wearing a concealed Super Munchmin shirt.
Just because his wife was away with children for holidays and that "his soul was getting bored" (as the expression goes), he thought it was a good reason enough to insist heavily, not wanting to understand that I did not need any companion or male protector...
Sometimes, it's unbearable - men just don't want to understand the women who intend to remain alone while travelling...

Baby the Pitbull
This dog is the sweetest! I couldn’t stop playing with her. She loved to lick my arms and face and neck. She was like a fiend. Such a little lover.
About the serial "Vår i Bjønsen":
The photos are not perfect, at all, but important to be published anyway. Reason: the many details, described in her poem for this "painting" tapestry, are impossibly to be seen on a distance. In fact one needs to see this painting-tapestry on a distance to see what she saw: water, shining water, pebbles, all kinds of colours, and light. She realised this painting by using other materials than paint: she even used parts of plastic, from a car, also copper wire, and as I read: even a sock. One really has to come very close to this painting to see what she used to realise the wonderful result.
I used two different distance-photos: one is edited in a way that it is an exact copy of the photo in the book about Birgit Hagen. My photos however were much more blue, and when I was ticking the text of the words Birgit Hagen has written for this painting, I realised that the reality is more blue, must be more blue, because violets (she names these in the poem) are blue, not brown, or brownish. Photo 1 is according to the book, photo 2 is the impression my camera, and more blue, and therefore more fitting with the close-ups of the tapestry-painting. A great art work.

Title: Vår i Bjønsen
Year: 1977
Length/Width: 165/150

Poem:
Kvite steiner. Djupblaat vatn med rødlig skjær.
Bjørk med glinsende rødbrunne stammer. Som kobber.
Svarte greiner likesom brent metalltraad.
Slik som vi fant den paa fjellet. Den skiftet i fargen. Graablaa.
Svart. Snøen inntil vatnet. Det intense lys faar fargene fram.
Det er vaar i Bjønsen.
Rypene snakker sammen. Fugel som bygger.
Svart fugl med røde føtter mot brun jord.
Brune knopper. Graa klipper. Svartgrønn busk.
Rust i myrer. Blaat vatn.
Silke. Potteblaat med kvitt.
Fiolblaa. Sauesvart og kvitt.
Mose. Fiolblaa myr. Glinsende bjørk. Som metall.
Lilleblaa. Svarte greiner. Blaasvart vatn og myr.
Snøfjell.

About the material and the technique:
Flatvev. Borghilds vev. En gammel kobber antenne. Irret. Svart. Speil fra knuste bilglass. Rødt frontglass - Svart. Ledninger belagtmed plast. Hestechår. Strømper. Hva eg måtte finne. Ruller ingenting av. Fortsetter bare til ferdig. Om eg finner en grov murvegg. Riktig overlys. God avstand. Med noe blått som støtte.

2011-08-15. Meget vanskelig, både som mystery-cache (kodeknekking) og mhp. gjemmested! Er klassifisert som kategori 5, altså vanskeligste graden! Som man kan se, er det en fornøyd mann som signerer loggen her, dagen før han reiser tilbake til Seattle!

My friend told me it was "impossible" to take a flattering picture of her. I have no clue why she thinks that, she's really pretty! But anyways, I think I've proven her wrong. ;D
