An attempt of high key over exposure of the old pier at Swanage.
Trying the over exposure to blend the sky with the sea to create one backdrop.
The correct exposure with the 10 stop filter would of been 15 sec, but this was exposed at 3 minutes.
Notice the Seagulls on the front posts even during this long exposure.
I've just taken photographs outside of a temple when an old lady stepped to me. She asked me if i wanted to go in, to take more photos. She gave me the keys of the temple and left me there. It's an amazing feeling to be alone in a church.

Morning light bathes this tough bench / picnic table at Fort Armistead overlooking the Patapsco River and the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Stacked on the ND filters to smooth out the water and the clouds ... but the clouds though streaming are not that evident given the contrast and lighting by this time. But it does smooth out the sky there that allows for the sunlit bridge structure to really stick out which I liked in this image.

The light is about 100 ft above sea level. Originally built in 1825, but subsequently raised and upgraded.

Bruges (Dutch: Brugge; French: Bruges; German: Brügge) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares (138.4 sq km; 53.44 sq miles), including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (from Brugge aan zee, meaning "Bruges by the Sea"). The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval in shape and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of whom around 20,000 live in the city centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km2 (238 sq mi) and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.

The Belfry of Bruges (Dutch: Belfort van Brugge) is a medieval bell tower in the centre of Bruges, Belgium. One of the city's most prominent symbols, the belfry formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other danger. A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, accessible by the public for an entry fee, leads to the top of the 83 m (272 feet) high building, which leans 87 centimetres to the east.
To the sides and back of the tower stands the former market hall, a rectangular building only 44 m broad but 84 m deep, with an inner courtyard. The belfry, accordingly, is also known as the Halletoren (tower of the halls).
The belfry is a key component of the UNESCO world heritage site of the historic centre of Bruges.
The building is a central feature of the 2008 film In Bruges and is also mentioned in the novel Cloud Atlas.

The Markt ("Market Square") of Bruges is located in the heart of the city and covers an area of about 1 hectare. Some historical highlights around the square include the 12th-century belfry and the West Flanders Provincial Court (originally the Waterhall, which in 1787 was demolished and replaced by a classicist building that from 1850 served as provincial court and after a fire in 1878 was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style in 1887. In the center of the market stands the statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck.
In 1995 the market was completely renovated. Parking in the square was removed and the area became mostly traffic-free, thus being more celebration friendly. The renovated market was reopened in 1996 with a concert by Helmut Lotti.
Very creative title, lol! I'm just not feeling it!!
At the flea market on Friday, instead of making several trips back to the car, and filling it, in traditional "Torrie style", I was good.... I bought one small key... last of the big time spenders, $1. Obviously, I did not need the key, as I have MANY.... but the top was kind of heart shaped, so I liked it. I had an idea for it (like SO many of the things in boxes in my garage, basement, attic... and just about every other room in the house... ) "I have an idea" is generally a prelude to a compulsive hoarding adventure... but as I said... I was good. One key. Little does my sister know that the idea involves HER talents and not my own. We'll see if she goes for it. And then.... I will be off on an adventure to acquire every key within driving distance... because that is how it's done! *sigh* (Hopefully I can remember where I put the ONE KEY that I'm starting with!)
In the meantime, my weekly horroscope, after telling me that there will be conflict between home life and work life and work will win (also, not a surprise!) is telling me....
You will also meet a new friend, probably someone artistic and talented. This introduction might be to a group that is related to the arts, the entertainment world or show business. It's fun stuff! This is an interesting week!
A fun and interesting new week and an artistic new friend.... Bring it on!
Key deer (odocoileus virginianus clavium), the smallest of all white-tailed deer, is a subspecies of the Virginia white-tailed deer. These deer inhabit Big Pine Key and various surrounding keys. They are not found anywhere else in the world.
Due to uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction, their numbers were estimated less than 50 animals in 1940's. With the establishment of National Key Deer Refuge in 1957 and intensive law enforcement efforts, the population has since increased and has now stabilized. The estimated population is approximately 600 deer on Big Pine Key and No Name Key (this does not include other keys in the deer's range).Highway mortality is the greatest known source of deer loss.
The shoulder height of Key deer is between 24-28 inches. Does weigh 45-65 pounds while bucks weigh 55-75 pounds.
Rutting season activities begin in September, peaking in early October and decreasing gradually through November and December. Some breeding may occur as late as February. The gestation period is 204 days with fawns born April through June. At birth fawns weigh 2-4 pounds.
Antlers are dropped February through March, and re-growth begins almost immediately so that by June, bucks with 2-inch stubs are seen. Antler growth is completed by August, and velvet is rubbed and kicked off in early September.
Key deer feed on native plants such as red, black and white mangroves, thatch palm berries and over 150 other species of plants. Key deer can tolerate small amounts of salt in their water and they will also drink brackish water, but fresh water is essential for their survival. They must also have suitable habitat to ensure their future existence.
No records exist documenting the origin of the deer in the keys. It is believed the deer migrated to the keys from the mainland many thousands of years ago, across a long land bridge. As the Wisconsin Glacier melted, the sea rose dividing the land bridge into small islands known as the Florida Keys.
The earliest mention of Key deer is found in the memoirs of Fontaneda, a shipwrecked Spaniard held captive by the local Indians. Records suggest that the deer were found around Key West and were used for food by residents and ship crews alike. Although early records indicated sporadic wider distribution of Key deer throughout the lower keys, current data indicates they occupy a range from Johnson Keys to Saddlebunch Keys.

La cinquantaine passée, Il boxe à domicile sur le ring qu’il a fait construire dans sa propriété de Key West. Il délaisse parfois les gants pour arbitrer des combats locaux. Avec moins de succès. Un soir, un certain « Shine » Forbes tente par trois fois de jeter l’éponge pour sauver son poulain mais Hemingway fait durer le plaisir et lui renvoie sa troisième tentative en pleine face.
Enragé, Forbes passe entre les cordes et étend le grand homme. Le match est arrêté. Plus tard dans la soirée, Forbes se rend au domicile d’Hemingway pour présenter ses excuses. Il s’attend à remettre les gants mais Hemingway lui tend la main et l’invite à venir s’entraîner le lendemain. Forbes restera le « sparring-partner » d’Hemingway jusqu’à la fin de sa vie en 1961.
In his late 50s, he boxed at home in the ring he had built on his property in Key West. He sometimes abandons the gloves to arbitrate local fights. With less success. One evening, a certain "Shine" Forbes tried three times to throw in the towel to save his foal but Hemingway made the pleasure last and sent him his third attempt in the face.
Enraged, Forbes passes between the ropes and stretches the big man. The match is over. Later that evening, Forbes goes to Hemingway's home to apologize. He expects to put the gloves back on, but Hemingway reaches out and invites him to come train the next day. Forbes will remain Hemingway’s sparring partner until the end of his life in 1961.
