This is Batman. The title is a reference to Koko the gorilla, who was taught American sign language. She combined words that she knew to refer to a kitten as "all ball". I've always loved that.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

This is fan made music video I have been working on for quite some time on and off due to school. I wanted to know what my graphic design peeps thought about this, so I decided to upload a preview of it. The storyline behind the video is showing relationships fall in their own special ways. "Bleed Out", a song by Jason Derulo off of his amazing album Future History, is such an emotional song IMO, and I really wanted to capture the song in video. In this preview, you will see just small snippets of what the full video will be. I hope you like it and please give me any critiques you may have or just tell me what you think about it. This is just uploaded to my Flickr only, as I want to keep the happenings of this video away from YouTube at the moment. :P Plus I want to show my graphic design community another passion of mine, which is video editing! :D I really can't wait to hear what you all think of it!
It is cold again and snowing the whole day. As the ground is not frozen most of the snow is melting and the grass still looks through the snow. We are waiting for spring, not for a winter revival.
This is a Grey-headed Albatross photographed at Shag Rocks, which is 150 miles west of South Georgia, where it breeds. It is a rare albatross whose world population was estimated at 250,000 individuals back in 2004, but the population is on a downward trajectory so it is likely to be much rarer than that now, largely due to fisheries by-catch. It has been classified as endangered by IUCN. It is the same size and general appearance of Black-browed Albatross, except that it has an all-grey head and a yellow-edged dark bill. Its scientific name chrysostoma translates as gold mouth, and the generic name Thalassarche means commander of the sea.
As always, your likes, comments and feedback are much appreciated.

Namtso is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and significant for Tibetan Buddhists. Kora is a Tibetan word that means "circumambulation" or "revolution". Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditative practice in the Tibetan Buddhism. Thus, Namtso Kora means pilgrimage walk around the Lake Namtso.
Namtso literally means heavenly lake in Tibetan language. Located around 240km northwest of Lhasa, capital of Tibet, it takes four hours’ driving from Lhasa. Extending 70 km from east to west and 30 km from south to north, the lake covers an area of 1,920 sq km and has an altitude of 4748 m above sea level. It is biggest lake in Tibet and the second biggest salt lake in China as well as one of the highest lakes in the world. The water in the lake is crystally clear and blue. The blue sky joins the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista.
In every Tibetan year of sheep, thousands of Tibetan Buddhism believers will come here to worship this sacred lake. As a rule, they will walk clockwise along the Namtso Lake in order to receive the blessing of the gods.
There are several fine Tibet treks around the lake. The shortest one is roughly 4 kilometers and takes less than one hour. It starts from the accommodation area to a hermit’s cave hidden behind a large spinter of rock. The kora continues to a rocky promontory of cairns and prayer flags. At the promontory, pilgrims undertake a ritural washing in the lake. And then the trail continues past several caves and a prostration point where there are two rock towers looking like two hands. Pilgrims squeeze into the deep slices of the nearby cliff face as a means of sin detection or drink water dripping from cave roofs, even swallow holy dirt.
This is a daily trip they do, out in the morning, back in the evening. You only see the amazing quantity of rooks when they are in the air; When they settle in their nests, the trees just absorb them - although they betray themselves with the noise! This was last year. There only seems to be a fraction of these this year. I wonder where they have all gone??

Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road from Podgorica reaches the coast. It has a 600 m long sandy beach and it is a popular tourist destination. Petrovac is seen as a somewhat "calmer" resort. The pier and the Kastio Castle, which served as a storehouse for wine and olive oil in the past, and now is a historical monument with historic cannon guns. Also a beautiful terrace that offers you a great view of the sunsets.
Montenegro’s most iconic destination is the tiny islet of Sveti Stefan. Graceful 15th-century stone cottages set on a pink sand beach. Sveti Stefan was an island but is now connected to the mainland. Initially, the island with its fortress had 12 families. In the 1800s, a village was established on the island with a population of about 400 people located at the coastal area around Budva. The coastal area around Budva, called the Budva riviera, is the center of Montenegrin tourism, known for its well-preserved medieval walled city, sandy beaches and diverse nightlife. Budva is 2,500 years old, which makes it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road, with slopes of the hills surrounding, from Podgorica reaches the coast. Kastio Castle is a very nice sightseeing and photo spot in Petrovac. Not really a fortress, but rather a small fortification that would protect the Venetians when freighting goods in the boats. You can see almost all if Petrovac from here. Not crowded at all. Definitely recommend for the view and atmosphere and you can jump into blue sea from there as well.
Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Het is gemakkelijk te zien waarom. Het bergachtige achterland herbergt diepe kloven, stromende rivieren, gletsjermeren en oerbossen, populair voor avontuurlijke activiteiten. De meest iconische bestemming van Montenegro is het kleine eilandje Sveti Stefan. Sierlijke 15e-eeuwse stenen huisjes aan een roze zandstrand. Sveti Stefan was een eiland maar is nu verbonden met het vasteland. Aanvankelijk telde het eiland met zijn fort 12 families. In de jaren 1800 werd op het eiland een dorp gesticht met een bevolking van ongeveer 400 mensen in het kustgebied rond Budva. Het kustgebied rond Budva, de Budva riviera genaamd, is het centrum van het Montenegrijnse toerisme, bekend om zijn goed bewaard gebleven middeleeuwse ommuurde stad, zandstranden en gevarieerd nachtleven. Budva is 2500 jaar oud en is daarmee een van de oudste nederzettingen aan de Adriatische kust. Petrovac ligt aan de kust tussen Budva en Bar, waar de oude bergweg, met hellingen van de omliggende heuvels, van Podgorica de kust bereikt. Kastio Castle is een zeer mooie bezienswaardigheid en fotoplek in Petrovac. Een klein fort dat de Venetianen zou beschermen bij het beladen van goederen in de boten. Je kunt vanaf hier bijna alles zien als Petrovac. Helemaal niet druk. Zeker een aanrader voor het uitzicht en de sfeer en je kunt vanaf daar ook de blauwe zee in springen.
Okay - maybe not as hard to guess as some of the others in this group but I had fun capturing lots of different things and strange angles. I liked this one the best!

This is NOT my shot
This is another one of my friend's sunset shots. So there will be no story, and there will be no geotag. She has a real talent for this thing.
The color of the sky is what made me decide to salvage this. Similar to the first shot you got red, pink, blue, and yellow all in one frame. The sun is just barely visible past the clouds, and makes it seem like the sky itself is on fire.
Now this shot did have a motion blur on it that makes some of the trees not in focus. There was also a weird, pole thing on the right side of the image that was moving. I have no idea what it is (and my friend doesn't know either), so I had to crop out a bigger piece of this image.
In editing I silhouetted the trees due to focus inequalities, but kept the color on the mountain range peaking out of the back. I put various recolor adjustments on the sky to draw out as many of the colors as I possibly could. The trees being naked kinda adds to the "skies in flames" theme I tried to make this photo revolve around.
So now I'm blogging dead things, as I've run out of live ones apparently.
This is my efforts at a diff palette and moodily lit shadows and stuff. WTF PASTELS.
To help you find out what it is, here is an anagram of the object ( which has two words)...'Graciette The Girl'
This is #7 in a series of 10 photos showing the San Francisco Bay over the course of 90 minutes on the morning of November 1, 2009.
I posted a longer explanation with the first photo.
This is one of Teddy's latest favourites ;) He has tons of toys but since buying this for his Birthday earlier this year he has become rather obsessed! After a good session of play he'll flop down and rest with the Starfish still in his mouth...... he even falls asleep like it!
Oh and yes it really is like double the size of him!
this is another from our waterfall trip at the Peak District last week
I love the swirls in the water (eddies) and the leaves are turning brown and dropping

Renaissance Town Hall in Bardejov is a one-storey building of a block character, located on a regular rectangular plan view with a longer side in the north-south direction. It is characterized by high side shields of saddle tile roof and Renaissance oriel window on its east side, accessing the second floor. On the shield of the northern façade there are three carved windows and a town sign. The gable of the southern façade is completed by four windows, a clock and painted coats of arms of the town and Kingdom of Hungary. At the top of the southern gable stands the figure of the legendary knight Roland with a halberd (the work of master Ján of Prešov dated around 1509), a symbolic protector of town privileges. The original stone statue was replaced in 1641 by a wooden one covered with copper sheet. The current statue is a copy and is made entirely of copper sheet. The windows on all facades have the same shapes. Both roof gables are complemented by groups of statues and crockets – the southern gable: a lion, a man with beard, a cat, a monkey, a cloth merchant, the northern gable: a demon, a man with an hourglass, a dragon, a king, a stonemason and a man with a stick. As a monument of supraregional importance, the town hall, together with other monuments of the historic centre in Bardejov, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.
The interceptor from Proxyon Industries is one of the most effective strikecraft in the royal fleet.
For optimal maneuverability, it boasts low moments of inertia along all axes and a fully diagonal inertia tensor.
For pitch and yaw control, it has been outfitted with three reaction wheels (of which one is allowed to fail).
For roll, lateral movement and desaturating the reaction wheels, 12 small RCS thrusters have been fitted.
The pilot is situated extremely close to the center of gravity of the craft to make sure the interceptor can rotate quickly without putting strain on the pilot due to centripetal forces.
Lastly, linear acceleration is accomplished by means of three standard Solovyov rocket engines.
The interceptor comes equipped with three auto-targeting small caliber rotary-autocannons, loaded with thermite rounds. These can be used both offensively and to target incoming missiles.
The placement and range of movement of these armaments provide full cover around the entire craft, no blind spots.
When a target is detected, at least two of the autocannons will be able to fire immediately, and depending on the situation, the interceptor will make slight attitude adjustments to be able to use the third autocannon as well.
Competitors might call these armaments flimsy, but thanks to the low momentum of the lighter rounds and high rate of fire, these weapons only cause a small, almost continuous thrust when firing, which is easily compensated for by the RCS thrusters. This in turn makes the interceptor very smooth and predictable to fly, even when in combat.
Built for the Real World +200 Starfighter contest.
Applying engineering knowledge to lego models is quite fun.
There is something very soothing about the beach. The sand slipping away between your toes reminding you time is passing. The forceful waves crashing on the shore and receding reminding you even the biggest problems will abate over time. The sound of birds, the smell of salt in the air, the cool spray of the mist all reminding you to be present and enjoy the moment.
Here's wishing you a peaceful and healthy 4th of July weekend.

Walking into the frame, rue de Bourg. Makes me think of a dream, when you see yourself watching another yourself.
Robyjo is alive he is lost in the meanders of his soul, lost the path of his life, in search of the ladder to the earthly paradise, some of you can tell me where he is, some of you can help me, I wait for him in my heart .
I decided to try taking a screenshot of another game and putting a sim in to it to make a picture... and here's the result!
The girl in this picture is called Raven, who is a character in the series I'm writing called Ebony Feather. All I'm going to say is that she's an adult in the story, isn't human, and is a very motherly character lol. You will have to read it when it comes out for more info XD
The background is from Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, which happens to have amazing graphics... Not to mention it's all around awesome...
I hope you like it...
