This is the only scenic shot I ended up with in Puerto Vallarto, Mexico. The weather was great, but a little hazy. On another note, this reminds me of the final scene of Goonies.
ODC2 - Our Daily Challenge - Horizon
Assignment52-482013 - Creating Depth (in focus)
Sadly this is my penultimate posting to ODC2. The changes in Flickr have made it difficult to negotiate to comment on photos and after 2 1/2 years of daily photos I would like to take a break now. I shall miss you all and thank you for your encouragement and support during all this time. Have a wonderful Festive Season and all best wishes to you all.
It's cold.

Number three of the four pictures from this trip, and the only one shot with a different lens from my 10-20mm. I used a graduated filter on this one to try and blur the clouds and the waves with a 30 second exposure. It seemed to have work pretty well, but I'm jealous of the Olympus OM-D which lets you shots like this develop in real time, more camera envy...
Last one tomorrow!

This rock at Porthleven really caught my eye with the differnet layers in it, the mono really made it stand out more.

This is the soil profile from a creeping bentgrass tee. The soil shows a black layer throughout much of the profile. The black layer is caused by anaerobic (waterlogged) conditions. Notice that there is no black layer in the vertical strip in the center of the photo where an aerification tine has created more air space. In fact, new root growth can be observed in that area of increased air content.
Strata of rock freeze a moment in time for those who can read the code.
This photo was taken by a Zenza Bronica S2 medium format film camera with a Nikkor-H 1:3.5 f=5 cm lens using Kodak Portra 160 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
This spot (Somewhere Between Mudgee and the Hunter) was onle of the only great spots that Rhys and I found from the main road. There were so many layers of colour and texture. Well worth the trip.
Aer Arann Islander aircraft - Connemara Airport to Inis Mór
The Aran Islands (Irish: Oileáin Árann—pronunciation: [ˈɪlɑːn ˈɑːrənʲ]) are a group of three islands located at the mouth of Galway Bay, on the west coast of Ireland. They constitute the barony of Aran in County Galway, Ireland.
From west to east the islands are: Inishmore (Árainn Mhór/Inis Mór —[ˈɑːrənʲ woːr], the largest; Inishmaan (Inis Meáin/Inis Meadhóin—[ˈɪnɪɕ mʲɑːn]), the second-largest; and Inisheer (Inis Thiar/Inis Oírr/Inis Oirthir—[ˈiniʃ hiər / iːrʲ / erʲhirʲ]), the smallest.
The 1,200 inhabitants primarily speak Irish, the language used in local placenames. Most islanders are also fluent in English.
The islands' geology is mainly karst limestone, related to the Burren in Co. Clare (to the east), not the granites of Connemara to the north.
This is most obvious in the construction of the walls around the fields.
The limestones date from the Visean period (Lower Carboniferous), formed as sediments in a tropical sea approximately 350 million years ago, and compressed into horizontal strata with fossil corals, crinoids, sea urchins, and ammonites. Glaciation following the Namurian phase facilitated greater denudation. The result is that the Aran islands are one of the finest examples of a Glacio-Karst landscape in the world. The effects of the last glacial period (the Midlandian) are most in evidence, with the islands overrun by ice during this glaciation. The impact of earlier Karstification (solutional erosion) has been eliminated by the last glacial period.
So any Karstification now seen dates from approximately 11,000 years ago and the island Karst is thus recent.
Solutional processes have widened and deepened the grykes of the limestone pavement. Pre-existing lines of weakness in the rock (vertical joints) contribute to the formation of extensive fissures separated by clints (flat pavement like slabs). The rock karstification facilitates the formation of sub-terrainean drainage.
Huge boulders up to 25 metres (80 ft) above the sea at parts of the west facing cliffs are in some cases an extreme form of storm beach, cast there by giant waves that occur on average once per century, though more are glacial erratics.
On the cliff tops, ancient forts such as Dún Aonghasa (Dún Aengus) on Inish Mór and Dún Chonchúir (Fort of Conchobar) on Inishmaan are some of the oldest archaeological remains in Ireland. A lacework of ancient stone walls (1,600 km or 1,000 mi in all) enfolds all three islands to contain local livestock.
The islands were first populated in larger numbers probably at the time of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in the mid-17th century, when the Catholic population of Ireland had the choice of going "to hell or to Connacht". Many fled to the numerous islands off the west coast of Ireland where they adapted themselves to the raw climatic conditions, developing a survival system of total self-sufficiency.
Their methods included mixing layers of sand and seaweed on top of rocks to create fertile soil, a technique used to grow potatoes and other vegetables. The same seaweed method also provided grazing grass within stone-wall enclosures for cattle and sheep, which in turn provided wool and yarn to make handwoven trousers, skirts and jackets, hand-knitted sweaters, shawls, caps, and hide shoes.
The islands are the home of the Aran sweater, which gained worldwide appeal during the course of the 20th century.
LAS VEGAS, NV, MARCH 25, 2011 - Girl Talk performing at The Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Friday night.
Girl Talk is Pittsburgh-based mash-up artist Gregg Gillis. Not too long ago, Gillis made his bread and butter as a biomedical engineer, relegating his mash-up skills to hobby status. But the buzz on both his wildly inventive productions — slicing and dicing and stitching together bits of oldies, chart hits, indie-rock favorites and hip-hop jams — and his wilder live performances eventually propelled him to make Girl Talk a full-time endeavor.
Celebrating 10-plus years of sample-obsessed production and relentless touring, Gregg Gillis released All Day this past November, his fifth album as Girl Talk, and his most epic, densely layered, and meticulously composed musical statement to date. Continuing the saga from the previously acclaimed albums, Night Ripper and Feed The Animals, Gillis lays down a more diverse range of samples to unfold a larger dynamic between slower transitions and extreme cut-ups. With the grand intent of creating the most insane and complex "pop collage" album ever heard, large catalogs of both blatantly appropriated melodies and blasts of unrecognizable fragments were assembled for the ultimate Girl Talk record (clocking in at 71 minutes and 372 samples).
Max Tundra and Junk Culture opened for Girl Talk.
