“The God Delusion” ―Richard Dawkins, 2006
“There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point… The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it.”
At my niece's coffee shop today.... had to take a picture of it before I started drinking....
I wonder why they think I'm so strange... lol
today, june 3, is national doughnut day, as if anyone needed more incentive to eat doughnuts. after sushi with civs, i had close to an hour to kill before my car inspection, so i stopped at dunkin donuts. if there were a krispy kreme, i might have gone there because they reportedly had free doughnuts. at dunkins', you got a free doughtnut today with the purchase of a beverage, so my "free" doughnut cost $2.47. still, i relaxed in the park for a bit with a good book. it was a good afternoon.
Os apetece un café fresquito?.... en la Comunidad Valenciana tenemos la costumbre de tomar con hielo el café solo o el cortado en la época estival, es mucho más refrescante sin perder su sabor, esta es una de mis debilidades.
You like a coffee cooler ?.... in Valencia have the habit of drinking iced coffee or cut only in summer is much more refreshing without losing its flavor, this is one of my weaknesses.
I do love coffee! It does contain caffeine which is considered the most commonly used psychoactive drug!
But, I don't think that when I drink coffee!
I initially decided to photograph this couple because I thought they struck an interesting pose. But then I noticed that they were watching something fairly intently ... which turned out to be the petanque game shown in the next several photographs...
Note: this photo was published in a Sep 12, 2010 blog titled "Amor o capricho."
Moving into 2013, the photo was published in an undated (mid-Oct 2013) MagForWomen blog titled Five Ways How Self-Esteem Affects Your Relationships."

Things have certainly changed in Bryant Park, behind the main branch of the New York Public Library, during the past 40 years. In 1969, I recall the park being a staging area for several Vietnam protest rallies (click here for an example); today, it seems to be used for concerts, public movies, picnics, sunbathing, and petanque.
It's also amazing to see the high-tech, almost space-age, office buildings that now tower over the park, on 42nd Street, and Avenue of the Americas. When I worked in this area in the 1970s and 1980s, there were mostly 2-story and 3-story ramshackle buildings here, with pizza joints and tourist-junk stores on the ground floor...
I walked around the park for about half an hour, at lunch-time on a pleasant summer Saturday afternoon. Saw lots of interesting sights, did my best to capture the overall mood and feeling...
Cold-brewed iced coffee, which I finally had for the first time yesterday. I stopped seeing "root beer float" in a glass and instead thought "coffee," and now it's all I can think about drinking.

Not in this instance, the feeling that you've had this coffee before, but the fact the pink lupins have been featured in my Photo a Day before.
This is iced coffee which we drank in our garden this morning, a diversion from the iced lemon tea we're drinking in copious amounts due to the heatwave.
Orroroo.
The first white occupation of the northern lands occurred in 1844 when James and John Chambers established the Pekina run. They chose a spot along Pekina Creek but no significant rain in 1845/45 and so in 1846 they sold their leasehold to Price Maurice. Pekina run soon became a great financial success. The run stretched from where Appila is now located to areas north of Orroroo including Walloway and Eurelia. It covered 320 square miles. This was the most northerly run in SA. In 1851 the nearest neighbors were Hugh Proby at Kanyaka Run near Hawker, the Ragless brothers on Balcarrie Run near where the town of Willochra once stood, and Henry Richman on Itali Itali Run and White and Polhill on the Mount Arden Run near Quorn. Within several years most of the northern areas were under leasehold as the port at Augusta had been established and wool could be carted down through Pichi Richi Gorge to Port Augusta.
Pekina Run expanded. Maurice took out a further 350 square miles in the Oladdie Hills establishing an out station homestead there. Pekina Station had become well established and the first white women (wives) arrived in 1854 with the first white birth in the north of SA in 1854 at Pekina. In 1871 the leasehold of Pekina was resumed by the government for closer settlement. The extensive homestead and outbuildings gradually began to decay. Once land was surveyed and sold, the first farmers started arriving in the area around 1875 settling their 640 acre blocks. Fortunately in that year 29 inches of rain fell (725 mm) and the season was excellent. Goyder’s Line seemed unnecessary and restrictive. On average Orroroo has 325 mm of rain a year. Unlike other places further north the rainfall is more reliable in Orroroo than places like Carrieton or Cradock. The nearby Pekina Ranges help with this.
Orroroo township had some early origins. It was a stopping point on the early Blinman to Burra copper route for transporting Blinman copper down to Burra for smelting. A small refreshment structure was built on Pekina Creek in the mid 1860s. The current township was surveyed in 1875 and named at the suggestion of this refreshment shanty owner. It is an Aboriginal word meaning “wind in the trees.” Land sales started in 1876 and the erection of buildings began in 1878. The Orroroo Hotel opened around 1877 followed by the Commercial Hotel in 1878. A general store opened and a three storey flour mill was also erected in 1878. Wheat from the Orroroo area was always highly prized as the high altitude (528 metres or 1,735 feet), cold winters, and dry spring made for a hard, high protein wheat. (Today this wheat is used for frozen products like frozen bread dough etc). The flour mill in Orroroo was modernized as the years went by and it survived until 1945 before being destroyed by fire. Flour from Orroroo was later sent by rail to Broken Hill for sale there. The town progressed quickly and in the 1881 census Orroroo had 314 residents. Today Orroroo has a population of 550 people.
1881 was a crucial year in the town’s development for the government was considering options for rail routes in the north for the new farmers. One option was a rail line from Port Germein up through the Germein Gorge to Murraytown and across the plains to Booleroo Centre and Orroroo. This line would have continued the government policy of sending lines inland from the ports such as Augusta, Pirie, Broughton, Wakefield, Robe etc. In the end the government took a different option with a line from Peterborough north to Orroroo in 1881. This line went further north to Eurelia and Carrieton before travelling via Hammond and Bruce (both now ghost towns) to Quorn where it linked with the rail line already linking Quorn with Port Augusta through Pichi Richi Gorge. The advantage of this line was that it linked several inland routes with a rail line to Port Adelaide.
Apart from wheat the other industry which provided much wealth (and population) to the town and immediate district was dairying. In 1906 Pekina Creek was dammed and an irrigation scheme established. Water was piped to 40 dairy farms on the eastern flats below the town of Orroroo. Lucerne was irrigated for fodder for the dairy cows. This explains the wealth and prosperity of Orroroo in the 1920s and 1930s. Some dairies still existed in the 1970s but they are gone now. Because of this scheme the butter factory, a fine stone structure, was opened in 1907 and the product produced was known as Walloway Butter. Butter was exported to London, but about 70% of it went to Broken Hill. In 1919 the factory was taken over by South Australian Farmers Cooperative Union, later Farmers Union. The factory you can still see today was built at this time for £8,000. It opened in 1921. The butter factory closed in 1971 and milk was then dispatched to Gawler by road.
The other major town industries were the Enterprise Newspaper and printing works established in 1892, (it ceased production in Orroroo in 1970 and was then produced in Peterborough) and Richard Parnell’s blacksmith and wheelwright business. Parnell’s started producing agricultural implements in Orroroo and Walloway in 1880. Their forge was always busy producing carriages, bullock drays, buggies, sulkies and wagons. Keeping abreast of the times Parnell’s established a motor garage in 1914 and began selling Model T Fords. Eventually Parnell’s moved into road transportation. All these businesses in the town were boosted greatly with the arrival of the railway in 1881 as it pushed its way north to Quorn. Until 1937 and the completion of the new line from Adelaide to Port Pirie, Orroroo was on the main rail line to Perth and Alice Springs. Leigh Creek brown coal was also shipped through the town until the early 1950s and the establishment of the first power station in Port Augusta.
Back in the main street department stores were established in the 1890s and the Institute opened in 1880 and at the same time a Post Office opened. The Institute was upgraded and renamed as the Soldiers Memorial Hall in 1924. Orroroo School opened in 1880. It eventually became a higher Primary school in 1916 and an Area School in 1962. The main street businesses included stock and station agents because Orroroo had a large regional livestock market. A branch of the National Bank opened in 1878 in a house. Next came the Savings Bank of SA in 1881. Like many SA towns Orroroo got a new Savings Bank in 1936 as part of the SA centenary celebrations. One well known business was that of the misses Toop. The three sister carried on a dressmaking extraordinaire business for many years. They had clients across SA. Other members of the Toop family established a Buick car agency in the town in 1922.
Like all growing towns Orroroo soon had its own churches. The Primitive Methodists built the first church in 1876 but soon proposed to sell it to the Baptist Church in 1878. This fell through and it was sold to the Catholic Church in 1881. The first Wesleyan Methodist Church was opened in 1882. The present day Methodist Church was constructed in 1911, The Sunday School was built in 1934 in a classical revival style which is unusual for Orroroo. The present day Catholic Church was opened in 1926. The almost strange Anglican Church in Mediterranean style was opened in 1920. Prior to this the Anglicans had a small church that had been built in 1879.
Orroroo was unusual in that it had a Light Horse Troop based in the town. Prior to Federation SA was responsible for its own armed services. The Orroroo Light Horse Troop become part of the 17th Australian Light Horse Regiment and many members from Orroroo served in the First World War. After World War One the Orroroo troop became a part of the 9th Light Horse Regiment.

On my way back home from the local gym, I often stop at the local Starbucks for a grande skim latté (I'm not even sure what that means, but I've learned to utter the phrase as if it's something I have three times a day) ... and since I've got the Starbucks app on my iPhone, it means that my camera is ready for action, as I wait (forever, it seems!) for the patient, overworked Starbucks guy to do whatever is required to make a latté.
I'm always amazed by how many high school kids stop in here on their way home from school, and also how many people bring along their laptops and notebooks to spend the afternoon working ... or maybe socializing.
Anyway, this is one of the many scenes at the coffee shop. I thought it was pleasant and interesting, and I gave it fourstars on my rating system ... but it wasn't good enough to warrant a five-star "public" upload on Flickr. C'est la vie...
Note: shortly after I uploaded the photo, one of my loyal Flickr friends send me an email to point out that my cropping was terrible; so I've re-cropped it and uploaded a replacement here. Meanwhile, another loyal Flickr friend "faved" the original photo and will hopefully be willing to accept this re-cropped version. In any case, I've now changed the status of the photo, on Flickr, to "public."

Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.
After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real” camera in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.
But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.
Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.
And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.
With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.
Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...
I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.
Stay tuned….
