Dear Flickr fans,
There are 14 series to share with you today, I paid nearly two weeks and a half to observe, daily 6am ~ 8:30 am. (29-06 ~ 16-07-2013)
Mostly don't have comment box, really want to save everyone's time.
Of course, finally give a some photo by comment box, please continue to support Aberlin. Thanks a lot.
This is my first time so observed, very excited to have this wonderful opportunity,please believe Aber will keep the best safe distance.(Broken shell and day 2)
Wish I going with you together and touch nature and ecological protection,
( I know you should be better than me, but you and I strength is insignificant, we live and we learn.)
Need to tell a key point with all Flickr fans,
Whether for a contact or not, when you have comment to me, absolutely will must reply, but could be and delay.
If you just added to favorites, perhaps I'm ignored, anyway in principle, should be well to give attention to comments friends, am I right?
All best wish,
Aber
My tribute to Kent MacDonald's "A World Between Worlds" series. I noticed one of his photos on the Flickr Blog last week and felt inspired to try my hand at making something similar.
You can view his photo series here: www.flickr.com/photos/kent-macdonald/sets/72157650314035922/
I was going to post something else, but I think it can wait until next week. I'm getting really excited about this project and all the ideas I'm having for future photos, I can't wait to share them!
Or perhaps, just asleep on the job! (ツ)
Only joking! - Actually, she was simply waiting for the flower to open! ;-) It's another one of those really minute bees - even smaller than Leo - about 5mm long!!!
Best viewed in lightbox and on full screen (F11), of course!
The gear! Shh!!! Mum's the word!
★ Food for thought :
The bee is fast becoming an endangered species in many parts of the world. In France, the newly arrived Asian hornet is just another nail in the coffin. Without the bee, we too could well become an endangered species! :-(( - Love thy neighbour and thy bee however small and insignificant it may appear to be.
"If the Bee Disappeared Off the Face of the Earth, Man Would Only Have Four Years Left To Live" - Albert Einstein
God slay the Asian queens and save our noble bees!
(to the tune of God Save the Queen)
Take care and many thanks for calling,

Back to the HC-110 after giving D-76 a run
At the Canadian War Memorial I was suprised at how emotional I felt. Today we are involved in wars which a lot of us think we shouldn't be. Another news bulletin comes on informing us that yet another solider has been killed and I do not stop to even think for one moment about it.........afterall it happens all the time, right?. As I looked at the photograph today it became very real to me that a smiling boy fighting somewhere in the world, for a cause he may not even believe in will never return home and all that will be left is a photograph of him somewhere smiling.
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it? (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Some expressions are just so good that they make the obvious technical mistakes insignificant. This is one of those expressions... and this is full of technical mistakes... and I love it.

The ignorance and arrogance of humans is such that we think we are bigger than everything and everyone, especially than our fellow human beings!
But, if we takes a step back and observes the world around us, it doesn't take long for us to realise as to how insignificantly small we are in the grand scheme of things!
One such place which inspired a thought like that was in Dubrovnik Old Town and this surreal view I was fortunate enough to experience.
This image is a stitched panorama consisting of about 30 - 40 degree field of view. I took about 7 or 8 exposures in portrait orientation to get the detail right, however, still couldn't keep the distortion out!
This was captured using a £26 Plastic Nikkor 28-80mm G Film era autofocus lens.
For the short and rather insignificant Pagönnienstraße over the centuries are more street names and name variants handed than most other streets in the Old Town of Lübeck. It is now established name come about through a long series of sometimes bizarre acting malapropisms and misinterpretations, largely meaningless: The term Pagönnien does not exist, neither is it a Low German expression, nor was there ever a religious order of that name, or a little famous saint named Pagönnia, as is sometimes supposed.
The St. Peter's Church in Lübeck is a church, which was first mentioned in 1170. Over the centuries it has been expanded several times until the 15th Century was finished. During World War II it suffered severe damage and was completely restored in 1987. Since the interior was not restored, no services are held in it. Instead, it is used for cultural and religious events and art exhibitions.
Hom sap que les discussions més absurdes pels detalls més insignificants, per les coses més nímies, es poden trobar en una comunitat de veïns.
En aquest cas, però, sigui per imposició de l'urbanisme municipal o per un exercici elogiable d'entesa veïnal, el resultat és d'una harmonia excepcional.

Another image from Historic Long Branch in Millwood, Virginia.
The Pink-eared Duck is named after an insignificant spot of pink feathers on the side of the drake’s head. More striking are the bold black-and-white stripes which dominate the ducks’ neck, breast and underparts, giving rise to its vernacular name of Zebra Duck or Zebra Teal. Pink-eared Ducks have odd-shaped bills, evolved to feed in a specialised manner: water is sucked through the bill-tip, then expelled through grooves along the side of the bill, filtering out tiny invertebrates in the process.

One of the things that I love about photography is how it changes your entire perspective. Suddenly, I find myself enthralled in the beautiful details of things I used to think were insignificant and even ugly. On my walk, I saw these branches that were stripped away by winter's brutality and left with nothing but thorns. Not the most beautiful sight but the way the light hit the thorns really made them illuminate. Of course the light wasn't pink, that was processed :P. Anyway, I thought it was a good example of how beauty doesn't necessarily lie only in perfection but in everything around us...we just have to look :).

Last week I got a notice from 500px that someone wanted to licence this photo that I took and uploaded almost 3 years ago. A little investigation revealed that, if there is a logo on a private building, I would either require a waiver from the owner or I would have to remove the logos. Well there were logos of a sort, but they were very insignificant (look in Comments, clickable, to see them), so would I really have to comply? Yes.
I wasn't going to be bothered since it seemed to be too much to ask for what I assumed would amount to 10 bucks. However, it turned out that it was more like 10x10 bucks, so I began to rethink my reluctance.
There was much more back and forth with 500px than I want to go into here, which included me having lost my original higher res version of the photo, but at the last minute I capitulated, removed the logos on the lower res version (so silly because they are so benign) and figured out how to get the amended version back to 500px. It took about a dozen emails to sort it all out. There are many twists and turns that I am leaving out, and I am only telling you half of the rigmarole, but it was quite a frustrating process, especially since it was happening when we were preparing for and then actually receiving company. I was in quite a dither at times.
BTW, I don't really do 500px and just uploaded a few photos as an experiment in the past. Maybe I should rethink that however.
I don't know who purchased the photo or why as that information is kept confidential for some reason. I mean to say that I always thought it was a nice photo, but the world is full of nice photos. I just wish I knew who the buyer was and where, but that's life.
Anyway, the original upload is below in the Comment section, the only difference being that it contains the logos. I still can't understand why they presented a problem when they were so obscure (one is just a flag and the other is pretty blurred), especially since the buyer obviously didn't mind them in the first place.
Commentary.
The sandstone pillars, chimneys and spires that make up the
“bristly” ridge of Stac Pollaidh, in Assynt, Sutherland, fade to oblivion,
as the sun seems to fall towards the horizon.
At a mere 612 metres or 2,008 feet
this weathered “Inselberg” resembles a volcanic cone,
but is largely a sedimentary sandstone monolith,
with a 3 billion-year-old base of Lewisian Gneiss.
Despite its modest elevation, the views from its summit,
of Assynt, and its “other worldly” landscape, is quite spectacular.
As day sinks to twilight this timeless landscape seems totally unmoved
by the passing of another mere day,
when eons have passed by, since it came to be.
Its eternal beauty and ancient creation made me feel
very temporary, small, insignificant and humble.
Nevertheless, I also felt very privileged to spend this
exquisite, but fleeting moment, at the end of a glorious day.
... I know ... I know ... how could I see this seen and see a set of balls ? Maybe there is something seriously wrong with me !!!!
Oh go to hell ... you were thinking it to !!!

Have a great Labor Day everyone...
Thrilled as ever to find another couple last Sunday!

I thought it would be interesting to photograph Big Ben in such a way as to make it look insignificant. In no way a political statement about Brexit........

From Wikipedia : "The Elizabeth Tower (previously called the Clock Tower), more popularly known as Big Ben, was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834. The new parliament was built in a neo-gothic style. Although Barry was the chief architect of the palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the clock tower, which resembles earlier Pugin designs, including one for Scarisbrick Hall in Lancashire. The design for the tower was Pugin's last design before his final descent into madness and death, and Pugin himself wrote, at the time of Barry's last visit to him to collect the drawings: "I never worked so hard in my life for Mr Barry for tomorrow I render all the designs for finishing his bell tower & it is beautiful." The tower is designed in Pugin's celebrated Gothic Revival style, and is 315 feet (96.0 m) high.
The bottom 200 feet (61.0 m) of the tower's structure consists of brickwork with sand-coloured Anston limestone cladding. The remainder of the tower's height is a framed spire of cast iron. The tower is founded on a 50 feet (15.2 m) square raft, made of 10 feet (3.0 m) thick concrete, at a depth of 13 feet (4.0 m) below ground level. The four clock dials are 180 feet (54.9 m) above ground. The interior volume of the tower is 164,200 cubic feet (4,650 cubic metres).
Despite being one of the world's most famous tourist attractions, the interior of the tower is not open to overseas visitors, though United Kingdom residents are able to arrange tours (well in advance) through their Member of Parliament. However, the tower currently has no lift, though one is planned, so those escorted must climb the 334 limestone stairs to the top."

When they said that there wasn't "much" left of the Topaz Japanese Interment Camp, I knew they meant that there was something. At least something small, something maybe insignificant.
What I found, apart from a few shards of broken chinaware, were several old stoves used to cook for the inmates.

This picture was recently used on the website OnBeing.org, a national public radio program and media project. You can read the very well written article here:

The piece of writing has to do with how we see glory when we are looking at the masterpieces of nature.
As I wrote on my own blog: Whenever you feel full of yourself, a trip to one of the national parks in Utah will help you with your perspective. Stand within one of the arches and know that you are really quite tiny. Robert Service wrote 'your life is but a single beat within the heart of time.'
