Ásbyrgi (glacial canyon) 20200803
Ásbyrgi is a glacial canyon and forest in the north of Iceland, located on the Diamond Circle road. The horseshoe-shaped depression is part of the Vatnajökull National Park and measures approximately 3.5 km in length and over 1 km wide. For more than half of its length, the canyon is divided through the middle by a distinctive rock formation 25 meters high called Eyjan ("the Island"), from which a vast landscape is seen.
The canyon's steep sides are formed by cliffs up to 100 meters in height. Within the canyon is a woodland of birch and willow. Between 1947 and 1977, a number of foreign tree species were introduced, including spruce, larch and pine. The small lake Botnstjörn is home to a variety of waterfowl species.
Ásbyrgi was most likely formed by catastrophic glacial flooding of the river Jökulsá á Fjöllum after the last Ice Age, first 8-10,000 years ago, and then again some 3,000 years ago. The river has since changed its course and now runs about 2 km to the east.
The legend explains the unusual shape of the canyon differently. Nicknamed Sleipnir's footprint, it is said that the canyon was formed when Odin's eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, touched one of its feet to the ground here.

This is a closer view of the test rail shown in a photo posted earlier. A Nikon 105mm f/2.5 AI-S lens is on the camera (Nikon D40), and a Kodak 7" f/3.5 Projection Ektanon slide projector lens is reverse mounted on the 105mm. The Nikon lens is focused at infinity, and the lens ring to glass plate distance is 13 cm. The area just below the horse's eye is centered in the viewfinder. Here's the image taken:

The sliding stage horizontal and vertical lock knobs were loosened, the stage moved to the left until the stage's glass plate had been brought into contact with the ring at the end of the lens barrel. The stage plate had been adjusted so the lens ring was making full contact with the glass. Then the stage's horizontal and vertical locks had been tightened after the bank note was made absolutely parallel with the camera back. The stage had been moved back and the viewfinder image observed as the stage was carefully moved toward the camera again until the image was razor sharp. At that point the slide was locked in position, the set-up then being ready for taking a photo. Working distance is 13 cm.

Taizō-in (退蔵院?) is the oldest sub-temple (tatchū (塔頭?)) of the Myōshin-ji Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple, situated in the northwest of Kyoto, Japan. It was founded by Zen priest Muinsoin in 1404. The original temple buildings were burned during the Ōnin War (1467-1477), and were later rebuilt.
Taizō-in is well known for its two gardens. The main garden, Motonobu-no-niwa, is a traditional Japanese dry landscape garden (karesansui), containing several angular rocks suggesting the cliffs of the island of Hōrai, with smaller stones suggesting a stream. The planting is mostly evergreen, including camellia, pine, and Japanese umbrella pine. It covers 50 tsubo (170 m²) and was designed to integrate a borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") of a view of Narabigaoka Hill in the distance. It is thought to be the final work of Muromachi painter Kanō Motonobu (狩野 元信), reproducing one of his paintings in three dimensions.
A new pond garden, or yoko-en, was designed by Kinsaku Nakane in 1963-1966. The new garden is large enough for visitors to walk in, and contains azaleas and a stream that cascades along the main axis, directly toward the main viewing position. The stream flows around rocks, gradually widening until it empties into a pool in front of the viewer. (Wikipedia)

Provocative and timely...about how the internet has shaped our lives...and about how real life still intrudes...
They say the weather is very changeable in Scotland , which I've always found to be true, today being no exception, the day started off in a full on blizzard in Glencoe and I didn't even get the camera out at sunrise as you couldn't see a thing, driving was hazardous to say the least as well as just narrowly missed an oncoming lorry on the A82 which had swerved onto my side of the road to avoid a large ice deposit off a previous lorry right into my path, luckily it missed me.
Headed out again after breakfast through it once again and decided to head South towards Taynuilt and Oban, once out of the snow it just didn't stop raining, all day apart from a few moments at Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe where I managed a few shots. After spending the afternoon in Oban I decided to scout out the best vantage point for Castle Stalker for a better day as the advertised viewpoint is really poor in my view, once I found my spot the rain was easing off but the weather was still pretty poor with low cloud, and hardly any light apart from a promising tiny patch
over towards Mull, with nothing spoiling I decided to just wait here on the offchance of a break.
about 40 minutes it really picked up and I was rewarded with what turned out to be a phenomenal sunset, this image was just the start of it before the sun had fully dropped under the large bank of cloud at the top of the frame, the light was just sublime, there is no way you could have envisaged this sunset at the start of the day or even an hour before, just goes to show you really cannot predict the changes in the weather up here off sight alone, I'll post a few more of these images in the coming weeks as they are quite different, the afterglow after sundow was a stunner as well with some great pinks and purples kicking off over the loch. Spent about 2.5 hours here and loved every minute of it, only realised how cold I was once I'd got back to the car!

Monsoon season is the one time of year that regularly brings big, dramatic storms/clouds to southern California. The system that moved over the coast on this evening would be the last monsoon storm of the season last year--already looking forward to this year!
By the by--these clouds only moved in after the sun slipped below the horizon. Sunset itself was nice, but mostly thin clouds to pick up the color (nothing dramatic or textured like the monsoon clouds that came rolling over the shore). This is a shot taken a few minutes earlier, when everything was simply pink (and that's what remained at the horizon line, as you can see above).
The rain brought beautiful cloud formations and colors in the afternoon.
I hope your week started well. I sure do hope that this is just the beginning.
Thank you so much for looking!
Life is sweet, especially if you're a Monarch Butterfly enjoying the sweet nectar that comes from these flowers. The Lantana is known to attract butterflies of all kinds, due to it's sweet smelling flowers and nectar.
This is a migratory species, wintering in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Australasia, usually on fresh water. The shape of the lower bill gives it an upturned appearance. They have long greenish legs and a long bill with a grey base. They show a white wedge on the back in flight. They are somewhat larger than the related Common Redshank. The usual call is a rapid series of three short fluty notes syllabilized as teu-teu-teu.
The Neckarfront is probably the most photographed town in Tuebingen. The ensemble of multi-storey, gabled houses stretching from the Eberhardsbrücke neckar upwards until characteristic Hölderlinturm with the landing of the punts. With this, the southern side of the houses sit on the still existing in parts of the city wall.
The overall picture is one of the Neckarfront superior tower of the collegiate church.
Die Neckarfront ist wohl der meistfotografierte Ort Tübingens. Das Ensemble aus mehrstöckigen, giebelständigen Wohnhäusern zieht sich von der Eberhardsbrücke neckaraufwärts bis zum charakteristischen Hölderlinturm mit der Anlegestelle der Stocherkähne. Mit dieser, der südlichen Seite sitzen die Häuser auf der noch in Teilen vorhandenen Stadtmauer. Zum Gesamtbild gehört der die Neckarfront überragende Turm der Stiftskirche.

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered. 61535

North Afghanistan
Takhar Province
North Afghanistan has some very fertile soils but not sufficient water.
Midd march the winter is over. The snow is melting and activiteis in agriculture will start.
Vegetation is sprouting and nature starts to grow.
Misty is incredibly food motivated which is a good thing for the keepers. Her being so motivated by food allows them to train her. This training is extremely important for them and her as it allows the keepers to ask Misty to perform simple yet certain things which allows them, do all over body checks for the vet.
She basically will do anything for food and I guess in the wild she would be the same being the hunter for the pride.

This is the oldest Wesleyan Chapel that has been in continuous use since being built. Wesley preached here and it is a remarkable example of Non conformist architecture. He recommended the octagonal shape to avoid conflict with the established church. The chapel was later expanded so becoming an elongated octagon. On the right is the Church Hall built about 100 years after the Chapel.

This is my 5th and final Fog shot of the LFE in San Francisco last November. I'd tried to compose each scene differently with each having unique lighting condition and perspective. This one is just before the Sun rises and I studied the movement of the fog to get it to a level to show almost deck level of the bridge and also the fog rolling thru the trees in the foreground to give it a unique look. Man, the blanket of fog is so thick and massive that it seems to go on forever.
This is a 20 second exposure to get the smooth flowing movement of the fog layer with a 6 stop ND filter.
Passau
is a town in Lower Bavaria, Germany.
It is also known as the Dreiflüssestadt or "City of Three Rivers,"
because the Danube is joined at Passau by the Inn from the south and the Ilz from the north.

This is a remake of the world famous picture made by Andre Kertesz, The Fork. My bowl is just a little bit more shallow than the original so the shadow of the fork is not as deep. Also the fork itself is flat instead of round.
Honolua Bay on Maui's northwest shore is a favorite spot for experienced surfers. During the winter high surf season, the bay has been known to have a hollow, powerful wave that offers incredibly long rides. The bluffs above the bay offer a perfect viewing platform to watch these talented surfers. It is always amazes me to see all ages of surfers walk up and down the steep bank in bare feet with their surfboard under their arms.
This is my little sister in-front of our chicken coop petting Pierre.
I like B&W pictures much more than colored. When you take a colored photo, your capturing their surroundings and cloths. But in B&W the focus is shifted to the scene it's self........If that makes any sense.

Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

A couple of days ago I have received an interesting email. A person has found my youtube videos and wanted just to thank me. That was a surprise for me.
The topic was related to coming out as a crossdresser to your partner. For the person, who wrote me it was very hard to accept that the boyfriend turned to be a lady sometimes…it is hard, but being open to your partner might surprise you – if there is true love, the partner will try to understand what is hidden behind – the whole world! We all deserve to be happy the way we are!
I am very happy, that my videos could help someone to accept their partner! Crossdressing is an Art of transformation, and one of my main goals is to prove that!
I hope you will like my thoughts and it will help you or your partner!
Thank you Andy for reaching to me!
Love and be loved!

De Vooruit is een historisch zalencomplex aan de Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat in Gent en werd geopend door de Samenwerkende Maatschappij Vooruit Nr.1 in 1913.
Het gebouw werd ontworpen door Ferdinand Dierkens. De bouw werd aangevat in 1911 en in 1913 geopend als Feestlokaal van Vooruit, naar de socialistische verbruikersorganisatie (of coöperatie) Vooruit (1891-1970), die uit de grond werd gestampt om de fabrieksarbeiders te beschermen tegen de labiliteit van het grootkapitaal. In de "kunstentempel Vooruit" konden arbeiders tegen erg democratische prijzen eten, drinken en van cultuur genieten.
Vooruit was oorspronkelijk het feest- en kunstencentrum van de Gentse arbeidersbeweging, met een feestzaal (balzaal), cinema, theatergroep, enzovoort. Na de oorlog verloederde het gebouw tot in 1982 de aanzet werd gegeven naar zijn huidige vorm als kunstencentrum.
Sinds 1982 worden de vijf belangrijkste zalen (Balzaal, Theaterzaal, Domzaal, Concertzaal en het Café) gebruikt door de vzw Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER voor debatten, literatuuravonden, feesten, festivals, concerten, filmvertoningen, dans- en theatervoorstellingen. Het gebouw werd gerestaureerd en in 1983 erkend als monument. In 2000 kreeg het de Vlaamse monumentenprijs na grondige restauratiewerken

---------------------
De Vooruit is a historic hall complex on Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat in Ghent and was opened by the Samenwerking Maatschappij Vooruit Nr.1 in 1913.
The building was designed by Ferdinand Dierkens. Construction started in 1911 and opened in 1913 as the Vooruit Festivities Location, after the socialist consumer organization (or cooperative) Vooruit (1891-1970), which was started up to protect factory workers against the lability of big business. In the "Vooruit arts temple" workers could eat, drink and enjoy culture at very democratic prices.
Vooruit was originally the party and arts center of the Ghent workers' movement, with a banquet hall (ballroom), cinema, theater group, and so on. After the war, the building deteriorated until in 1982 the impetus was given to its current form as an arts center.
Since 1982, the five main halls (Balzaal, Theaterzaal, Domzaal, Concert Hall and the Café) have been used by the non-profit organization Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER for debates, literature evenings, parties, festivals, concerts, film screenings, dance and theater performances. The building was restored and recognized as a monument in 1983. In 2000 it was awarded the Flemish monument prize after thorough restoration work
Hestercombe House, Nr. Taunton, Somerset
Hestercombe House is nestled in the parish of West Monkton approx. 13 miles away from Taunton, Somerset. Originally built in the 16th century for the Warre family where it remained for approx. 400 years. The house was enlarged and changes were made, alas that work is no longer visible, due to extensive renovation work carried out in and around 1875. The house today is a mixture of different styles of architecture, Neoclassical, Italianate and French but pleasing to the eye.
Sometime in the 18th century a watermill was built, today this is now the visitor’s centre.
The garden when originally set out consisted of a grand cascade, a Gothic Alcove, a Tuscan Temple Arbour, several Ponds and a folly Mausoleum. A formal parterre was added in the 1870’s. Between 1904-1906, an Edwardian Garden was laid out by Gertrud Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens doyens of the Art and Crafts Movement.
Lutyens designed the Orangery (Grade 1 listed). The ‘Great Plat’ featured Gertrude Jekyll’s herbaceous planting. Unfortunately very little of this work exists today. By the early 1970’s the formal gardens were largely run down. It was then that Somerset CC along with the Fire Brigade that restoration work started. In 1995 a project to restore the Landscape garden, in 1998 The Great Plat was replanted. In the same year work on the Victorian Terrace commenced and the fountain repaired.
Another garden where each year more improvements have been completed to make it a great place to visit. This is the 1st of 2 postings.

Medicine Lake is fascinating! The Maligne River backs up here and disappears underground, where there's a huge invisible river system that drains in many directions. So instead of being a real lake, it's a bathtub that overflows periodically and looks like this. So cool. Certainly the prettiest bathtub I've ever seen.
I miss Banff and Jasper. I sure hope I get back there this summer (probably inevitable, knowing my restless, wanderlusty nature and my crazy love affair with this place).
this is me cooking awesomeness
recipe!:
1 lb ground beef (i put onion powder and garlic salt in it)
penne rigate (i don't measure...just do what feels right)
pasta sauce (i use Ragu)
MIX it and add some heat
TOP it with Mozzarella and...
enjoy!
Boys made a practical joke on Dutch (aka Gold Leader) as they replaced his workhorse to a miniature version of Y-wing awhile he was taking a nap. Unfortunately he can't fly with this thing. It's main purpose is to sit on the shelf and just look nice.
