I took this photo at early sunrise on the island of Schouwen Duiveland in the province of Zeeland. An ND10 "Big Stopper" filter was used to create a smooth water surface. The pile of wood standing in the shallow water of Grevelingen lake is a piece of art with an height of about three meters. It feels as if an old ancient settlement fled for high water. The bright blue-purple morning sky provides an arctic type of light. With some imagination you could think this picture was taken somewhere on a remote island in arctic Canada.

There are many sides of Istanbul that I can criticize. Living here is really difficult, life is expensive and working conditions can be brutal most of the time. However, in some moments, unexpected beauty can be witnessed. Still, I do not know if it is worth bearing, what do you think?
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.

Lion
Of all the great cats, the lion has always held a supreme place in man's esteem and imagination. The lion has always been honored by man, crediting the regal beast with attributes he prizes most; nobility, courage, loyalty, combative skills and sexual prowess. This attribution applies to both sexes, for a lioness is a creature of sinuous beauty ,but the full-grown male, whose magnificent mane ranging in color from a rich golden brown to a deep blackish-brown, mark him as the veritable monarch of the plains. The legacy of the lion, King of Beasts, as the model throughout history is demonstrated by its appearance among the earliest drawings made by humans over 15,000 years ago.
Zoological name: Panthera leo
Species: Of the known sub-species of lion there seems to be an agreement on 2 as far as genetics go - Pantherinae Panthera leo leo - the African lion, and Pantherinae Panthera leo persica - the Asian lion. Regardless of the area of Africa a lion is found in today, their DNA analysis has shown them to be the same, whereas there is a difference between African and Asian. As of the time of this writing, the Barbary lion has never been tested and compared to these results, and may in fact be a third and distinct lion sub-specie.
Presence on the planet: The lion was once found from northern Africa through southwest Asia (extinct in most countries within past 150 years), west into Europe (extinct 2000 years ago) and east into India (relict population in Gir Forest only). Today, the majority of Africa’s lions can be found in east and southern Africa, with a small number in west Africa. Most of the lions today exist inside protected areas. No accurate number of how many lions exist in the wild has been reported, but guesstimates are between 30,000-100,000.
Habitat: Lion prides are often found in the open plains, but are known from nearly all habitats except deep desert and rainforest. Lions climb trees to rest and cool off, or sometimes to escape stampedes. During the day, lions rest by water holes or salt licks, but at night these places are usually reserved for hunting.
Physical appearance: Males range from 172 to 250 cm in body length, females from 158 to 192 cm. Tail length varies between 60 and 100 cm in length. Females are 45 to 68 kilograms lighter than the average-size male, but have an equal muscle mass. Males weigh between 150 and 260 kg while females weigh between 122 and 182 kg.Lions have a broad face, rounded ears, and a relatively short neck. Male lions have a mane, which varies in color. It usually is a silverish-grey or a yellowish-red. The darker the mane the older the lion. Captive lions are known to have longer and fuller manes than wild lions. The underside of males is a buff color, while the females' underside is whitish in color. Both sexes have sharp retractable claws on each paw and powerful shoulders, which they use to bring down their prey. Hinge-like jaws containing 5 centimeter canines also aid the lion in hunting and catching their prey.
Diet: Lions are very opportunistic eaters, and will take almost any prey ranging from small rodents to young rhinos, hippos and elephants. The majority of its prey, however, is medium to large ungulates, most notably zebra, wildebeest, impala, warthog, hartebeest and waterbuck. They will stay away from adult rhinos, hippos, elephants and even giraffes. The females do most of the hunting, and the male will come and join the females after the kill is made. The females will make way for the males and allow him to eat his fill first. Males will participate on a hunt when it is a particularly large prey item - like a water buffalo - where his size and strength is required to bring down such a large animal (although enough females can do it successfully on their own). Males must also hunt during their bachelor stages, when there are no females to take care of them.
Reproduction & Offspring: Lions will reproduce any time of the year, and all females of reproductive maturity will breed at the same time. This allows them to give birth in synchrony with each other, thereby sharing the suckling responsibilities. Any lactating female in a pride will suckle any cub that belongs to the pride. Lions give birth to 1-6 cubs after a gestation of 110 days. The cubs are born blind and helpless, and weigh approximately 2-4 pounds. Cub mortality is very high in lions, and less than half will survive their first year. Young males will leave their pride between 2-4 years if they can get away with staying that long, but sometimes they are forced out as early as 13-20 months. Females remain with their natal pride most of the time, although some will disperse and form new prides. While male lions are physically capable of reproducing at 30 months and females at 24 months, they do not generally successfully reproduce until pride membership has been firmly established.
Conservation status: Lions are generally considered problem animals whose existence is at odds with human settlements and cattle culture. Their scavenging behavior makes them highly susceptible to poisoned carcasses put out to eliminate predators. Where the wild prey is migratory, lions will predate on captive stock during the lean season, thus making the nuisance animals and easy targets for humans to eliminate.

Every time I look at this plant in its big terracotta pot, I see a face with eyes wide open and disheveled hair and it makes me smile :)

There are two Disney Store Limited Edition Brave items that were first noticed on the US Disney Store website on May 14, 2012, but were not part of the new arrivals group. In fact, when they were first noticed (by browsing on keyword 'brave') they were both already sold out. By next day, they were already not searchable by keyword (but the pages were still viewable via a direct link or product code). I wonder whether these were actually for sale at some earlier date, or are merely placeholders for a future release.
The items and web links to them are as follows:

Sci-Fi and Fantasy books have always been an important part of my life. Jules Vernes' fantastic travels, JRR Tolkien's immense lore and stories and Frank Herbert mystic sci-fi filled my imaginative early years and had a big impact on my life and dreams... And of course on what I build with Lego.
Buit for Brickpirate.net challenge for category 2: build a lifesize object related to books.

A Slinky is a toy pre-compressed helical spring invented by Richard James.
It can perform a number of tricks, including travelling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-forms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum.
I see some other objects in them... LOL
My imagination on the loose again...

Autoretrato ambientado en una obra del taller de Rembrand. Puro tenebrismo que recrea un interior holandés domestico del siglo XVII.
I like walking through the forest when it is pitch-dark and no moon is out to light the path. Human vision can adapt to the tiniest amount of light and see a colourless world where sound becomes equally important for safe navigation. The brain will start imagining things and will fill in the blanks in an attempt to make sense of the impressions which can lead to quite interesting sensing experiences. I start seeing and hearing things that are not there. This environment is equally challenging for the camera. It is mostly noise, nothing much to go by, a few photons here and there, camera algorithms struggling with too little information. So the camera starts seeing things that aren't there - wonderful colours that are just artefacts of electronic processing of noisy signals.

This started from imagining the path as a river, then built on the contrasts between different textures in the original.
Trying to work out where one texture ended and the next began was quite a challenge, but all in all a fun way to start the day on a lazy Sunday morning.

Another shot from an OffShoot outing to the Petit Volant circus and performing arts centre in Sandyford, Dublin earlier this year.
"I believe there’s nothing like flying. Dancing and playing in the air provide a unique feeling of freedom, peace and accomplishment. I also believe that circus is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or size. It’s a place for collective joy, where the limits are our imagination."
Mari Rampazzo, Petit Volant owner
