This archival image is an enhanced contrast version of the first Mars photograph released on July 15, 1965. This is humanity's first close-up photograph of another planet -- a photographic representation of digital data radioed from Mars by the Mariner 4 spacecraft. Data was either sent to Earth immediately for acquisition or stored on an onboard tape recorder for later transmission.

There was a merry passenger,
a messenger, a mariner:
he built a gilded gondola
to wander in, and had in her
a load of yellow oranges
and porridge for his provender;
he perfumed her with marjoram
and cardamom and lavender.
This build, over 2 years in the works, is inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien’s poem “Errantry.” I began work on it for an entry to MELO 2017 and, quite obviously, did not complete it in time. The design included rare or unusual part/color combinations which I did not have many of. Between several bricklink orders, highschool graduation, starting college, more bricklink orders, some redesigning, and some more bricklink orders, it is finally complete. I would like to thank two builders for inspiration. I originally was using a design by Iain Heath for the head, but that did not work, so I borrowed a design by Eero Okkenen. I also modified a design of a helmet by Eero, but that got scraped when I changed the size of the head. I would also like to give credit to Alan Lee, whose drawings I took inspiration from as well.
What is it about? The long and short of Tolkien’s poem is that there was a fairy mariner who sailed around on all kinds of adventures. He falls in love with a butterfly, but she won’t marry him, so he studies all kinds of arts in order to capture her, but she escapes. Sad, he continues on his adventures, battling all kinds of strange foes while bearing weapons made of the most amazing materials – a sword of emerald, a shield and helmet both of coral and ivory, chainmail of crystal, a spear made of ebony, javelins of malachite and stalactite. He conquered victorious and sailed home eventually, a wanderer, an adventurer. The full poem is below, and I would highly encourage you to read it.
He called the winds of Argosies,
with cargoes in to carry him,
across the rivers seventeen,
that lay between to tarry him.
He landed all in loneliness,
where stonily the pebbles on
the running river Derrilyn,
goes merrily for ever on.
He journeyed then through meadow-lands,
to shadow-land that dreary lay,
and under hill and over hill,
went roving still a weary way.
He sat and sang a melody,
his errantry a tarrying,
he begged a pretty butterfly,
that fluttered by to marry him.
She scorned him and she scoffed at him,
she laughed at him unpitying,
so long he studied wizardry,
and sigaldry and smithying.
He wove a tissue airy thin,
to snare her in; to follow her,
he made him beetle-leatherwing,
and feather wing of swallow hair.
He caught her in bewilderment,
with filament of spider-thread.
He made her soft pavilions,
of lilies and a bridal bed,
of flowers and of thistle-down,
to nestle down and rest her in,
and silken webs of filmy white,
and silver light he dressed her in.
He threaded gems and necklaces,
but recklessly she squandered them,
and fell to bitter quarrelling,
then sorrowing he wandered on,
and there he left her withering
as shivering he fled away;
with windy weather following,
on swallow-wing he sped away.
He passed the achipelagoes,
where yellow grows the marigold,
with countless silver fountains are,
and mountains are of fairy-gold.
He took to war and foraying,
a-harrying beyond the sea,
and roaming over Belmary,
and Thellamie and Fantasie.
He made a shield and morion,
of coral and of ivory.
A sword he made of emerald,
and terrible his rivalry,
with elven knights of Aerie
and Faerie, with paladins
that golden-haired, and shining-eyed
came riding by, and challenged him.
Of crystal was his habergeon,
his scabbard of chalcedony,
with silver tipped and plenilune,
his spear was hewn of ebony.
His javelins were of malachite
and stalactite - he brandished them,
and went and fought the dragon flies,
of Paradise, and vanquished them.
He battled with the Dumbledors,
the Hummerhorns, and Honeybees,
and won the Golden Honeycomb,
and running home on sunny seas,
in ship of leaves and gossamer,
with blossom for a canopy,
he sat and sang, and furbished up,
and burnished up his panoply.
He tarried for a little while,
in little isles that lonely lay,
and found their naught but blowing grass.
And so at last, the only way he took, and turned,
and coming home with honeycomb,
to memory his message came,
and errand too!
In derring-do and glamoury,
he had forgot them,
journeying and tourneying, a wanderer.
So now he must depart again,
and start again bis gondola,
for ever still a messenger a passenger, a tarrier,
a roving as a feather does,
a weather-driven mariner.

Since the Inaugural Game on July 15, 1999, Safeco Field gained a reputation locally, regionally and nationally as a terrific setting for baseball and a great place for baseball fans. Sweeping views of the downtown Seattle skyline and breathtaking sunsets over Puget Sound combined with excellent views of game action from all angles to give fans at Safeco Field an experiences unequalled in Major League Baseball.
A large number of fans take advantage of the openness of Safeco Field and enjoy watching games from standing areas at various locations around the ballpark. The patio of the Bullpen Market in center field has become an event within an event as thousands of fans gather there for festive atmosphere before and during games. Fans also take advantage of the fact they can make a complete circle of the ballpark on the main concourse while still watching the game.

THE NAME
An investment in the Safeco Field naming rights was made by Safeco, a Seattle-based insurance and investments company. Founded in 1923, Safeco shares a commitment with the Mariners to invest in and provide service to the communities where our customers, fans and employees live, work and raise their families. Safeco has been a major sponsor of Mariners community relations projects including the annual Safeco Mariners Caravans and the Safeco Coaches Clinics. Since 1994, these two programs have taken Mariners baseball to the hometowns of Mariners fans of all ages and provided free baseball skills clinics to tens of thousands of young people. The Mariners are very proud of our partnership with Safeco.
THE ROOF
The ballpark's one-of-a-kind retractable roof is designed to cover but not enclose the ballpark, thus preserving an open-air environment. The structure covers nearly 9 acres, weighs 22 million pounds, and contains enough steel to build a skyscraper 55 stories tall. The three movable panels glide on 128 steel wheels powered by 96 ten horsepower electric motors. A push of a button closes or opens the roof in an average of 10-20 minutes (depending on wind and other weather conditions). The roof is self-grounded (in the event of lightning strikes) and is designed to withstand 6-7 ft. of snow and sustained winds of up to 70 mph.
SCOREBOARD SYSTEM
Safeco Field features one of the most comprehensive scoreboard systems in Major League Baseball, including 11 electronic displays and an old-fashioned hand-operated scoreboard in left field. The main scoreboard in center field features a huge state-of-the-art LED technology video screen and matrix board for display of graphics and animation. The out-of-town scoreboard in left field displays current inning scores of games in progress from around the Major Leagues. Two, first-of-their-kind play-by-play boards along the first and third base lines display running summaries of plays to help fans follow the action. Four auxiliary boards display player at-bat information, pitch speed and type, and additional game-in-progress information.
PLAYING FIELD
Safeco Field's playing surface is a custom designed state-of-the-art field. It features a specially designed drainage system and a custom blend of four kinds of Kentucky bluegrass and two kinds of perennial ryegrass to provide the optimal playing surface for the athletes, the retractable roof, and the Northwest climate. The drainage system includes layers of drainage pipe, pea gravel, sand, and grass. A spider web of one-inch plastic hose circulates hot water under the grass to bring it out of dormancy in time for Opening Day, and also compensate for shade and low levels of direct sunlight.
GROUND RULES
Photographer's Areas
The ball is "in play" if it hits any of the railings defining the photographer wells and bounces back onto the playing field. The vertical rails in the middle of the wells are considered in the wells and are out of play.
Ball Hitting Roof Trusses
A batted ball hitting a roof truss in fair territory shall be judged fair or foul in relation to where it lands or is touched by a fielder. If caught by a fielder, the batter is out and base runners advance at their own risk.
A batted ball hitting a roof truss in foul territory is a foul ball, regardless of where it lands or is touched by a fielder. If caught by a fielder, the batter is out and the base runners advance at their own risk.
Outfield Area
The hand-operated scoreboard in left field is part of the left field fence. A ball must clear the scoreboard (defined by yellow horizontal line) to be a home run. If a batted ball hits the cyclone fence under the scoreboard and above the padded wall, and the ball lodges behind the padded wall, it shall be ruled a ground-rule double whether it lodges behind the wall on the fly or on a bounce.
The ladder and the handle attached to and to the right of the scoreboard are beyond the padded wall. A fly ball striking either the ladder or handle shall be ruled a home run.
Dugouts
A ball must enter the dugout to be considered a dead ball.
Movement of Roof
If a game is started with the roof closed, it may be opened when, in the opinion of the home club, climactic conditions warrant such opening. However, roof may be opened only once during a game and shall commence only between innings after the umpire crew chief has been notified. Prior to opening of roof, the visiting club may challenge the opening if it feels a competitive imbalance will arise. The crew chief will make a final decision based on the merits of the challenge.
If a game is started with the roof open, it may be closed during the game. The decision to close the roof shall be made by the home club, and may be made solely for the comfort of its fans. Play will continue during roof closure if possible. However, the umpires have the right to stop play during this process if they determine it is necessary to do so.
These policies may be modified from time to time as more experience is gained with the roof and its impact on play.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The Bullpen Market, located behind left field, features interactive games and activities, Fan Walk personalized bricks, local food vendors, an open pit barbecue, and one of the best views of the game from behind the centerfield fence.
Lookout Landing, at the end of the left field line on the Upper Deck, provides incredible views both inside and outside the ballpark.
The Outside Corner Picnic Patio, directly above the Home Plate Gate entrance, is a gathering spot that provides fans with views of Puget Sound, and tables and benches for picnic lunches.
Children's Hospital Playfield, located on the Main Concourse in center field, lets kids work off excess energy on fun, baseball-themed playground equipment. Outside the Playfield is the Wizard's of the Coast/Children's Hospital Wishing Well, where fans can donate coins to benefit Pacific Northwest patients and families.
The flagship Mariners Team Store is open year-round, seven days a week, offering the world's largest selection of Mariners apparel and merchandise for men, women, and children.
Works of art by 11 artists from the Northwest are integrated into the design of the ballpark and parking garage in an ambitious $1.3 million Public Art Program. The varied installations include a sculpture of 1,000 translucent bats suspended above the grand staircase at the Home Plate Gate and a bronze mitt outside the Left Field Gate.
Got out early this morning looking for something to shoot. Didn't really feel like going into LA so I hung out In Orange County. I drove down into Laguna Beach and drove around and up through the hills looking for a view of the sunrise. Unimpressed by anything I was finding I decided to head on back home. Getting an extra hour of sleep before helping the wife clean out the garage sounded like a pretty good idea.
Mariners Church was on the way home. I have shot this church before a few years back at night when I first started with HDR. the shot didn't come out as nice as I wanted then so having the opportunity again to shoot it and the morning sky behind it I decided to give it another go.
I like the result maybe you can give me your opinion if you like it or not.
Thanks for stopping by.
