It was finally noticeably darker outside - the sunbathers on the common area in the campground were oblivious, and just wondered why it seemed chilly all of the sudden. As the sun got lower, it neared the top of the trees - that's a shadow of a branch in the lower part of the crescent.
Asarum maximum on my balcony. In most years it has about four leaves, but they're nice large leaves. I guess I could have taken off the old leaves for its photo, but it's so nice to see so many of them all at once.
I liked the serenity and detail of the rocks, along with the lines and rule of three; going for deep depth of field

Funny guys, funny show (not for the kids) - I'm still laughing at a particular scene from the screening involving an untimely demise...
San Felipe de Neri Church is a historic Catholic church located on the north side of Old Town Plaza in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1793, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city and the only building in Old Town proven to date to the Spanish colonial period. The church is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places and has remained in continuous use for over 200 years.
San Felipe de Neri replaced an older church, dating to the founding of Albuquerque in 1706, which collapsed in the winter of 1792–3. From its founding until 1817, the church was run by Franciscan missionaries. During the Victorian era, under the influence of Bishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy, the church was remodeled with Gothic Revival elements, including bell towers, a new pitched roof, and interior decorations, to give it a more European appearance. This combination of elements from different periods and traditions makes the church notable architecturally as well as historically.

Le golfe est long de 20 km d'est en ouest et large de 15 km du nord au sud. Il s'ouvre sur la baie de Quiberon, partie occidentale du Mor Braz, par un étroit passage entre Locmariaquer et Port-Navalo.
Les paysages sont changeants en raison du marnage découvrant un estran étendu et varié, ils sont caractérisés par la présence de nombreuses vasières, criques, pointes, rochers, îles et îlots
Le golfe est séparé de la baie de Quiberon, partie occidentale de Mor braz, dans l'océan Atlantique par la presqu'île de Rhuys et ne communique avec celle-ci que par un étroit goulet d'un kilomètre de large entre les pointes de Port-Navalo (commune d'Arzon) et de Kerpenhir (commune de Locmariaquer). De ce fait, on y rencontre de très forts courants de marée, donnant parfois à certains passages resserrés des allures de torrents.
La mer entre et sort du goulet de Port-Navalo à une vitesse pouvant atteindre près de 9 nœuds (4 m/s). Ce qui en fait le deuxième courant le plus fort d'Europe. Le courant de la jument, entre l'Île de Berder et l'Île de la Jument peut même atteindre 9,1nœuds1. Dans la rivière d’Auray, entre la Pointe du Blair et le Grand Huernic, les courants atteignent 4 nœuds.
Le cycle des marées est décalé par rapport à celui de l'océan et connaît une grande inertie : ainsi, lorsque la marée est haute en baie de Quiberon et à l'entrée du golfe, le fond continue à se « remplir » et le niveau à y monter. Il existe donc un décalage entre l'heure de pleine mer dans l'entrée du golfe et l'heure de celle-ci dans le fond du golfe. La marée est haute à Vannes une heure quarante cinq environ après l'heure de pleine mer à Port-Navalo. De plus, il existe un décalage entre les heures de marées à l'entrée du golfe et dans la baie de Quiberon : la pleine mer à Port-Navalo est une demi-heure après la pleine mer en baie de Quiberon.
Le phénomène inverse s'observe naturellement lors de la marée basse. Par ailleurs le courant cessant d'être dans le sens « montant » lorsque le niveau d'eau dans le fond du golfe a atteint son maximum, à certaines heures, on peut observer un niveau d'eau diminuant à Port-Navalo alors que le golfe continue de se remplir et donc le courant d'être dans le sens « montant ». De plus, les courants de flot (flux) et de jusant (reflux) ne sont pas réguliers mais interagissent à l'intérieur du golfe, créant de nombreux contre-courants.
Certains villages de pêcheurs ont développé des voiliers qui leur sont propres :
Les Sinagots du nom du village de Séné, bateaux de pêche au poisson, généralement à deux voiles au tiers
Les Forbans du Bono, chaloupe non pontée armée pour la pêche au chalut à perches. La carène et le gréement des Forbans sont dérivés des chaloupes sardinières de Concarneau et Douarnenez.
De plus, dans tout le golfe, sont utilisées des barques à fond plat, les « plates », pour la pêche et l'élevage des coquillages et le transport dans les parties du golfe où il y a peu de fond.
Les Guépard, plate en « V » du Golfe du Morbihan de 5,50 m (construction bois classique).
Depuis 2001, la Semaine du Golfe se déroule tous les deux ans durant la semaine de l’Ascension dans le Golfe du Morbihan. Cette manifestation est devenue l'un des plus grands rassemblements français de bateaux traditionnels.
Les vasières et les marais du golfe ont favorisé le développement d'un écosystème varié, notamment par la présence d'un herbier de zostère, le deuxième plus important de France. Il contribue à stabiliser les terrains, à diminuer la turbidité de l'eau, à favoriser l'oxygénation, la production du phytoplancton et constitue un abri naturel pour la reproduction.
Le golfe est surtout réputé pour son intérêt ornithologique. Outre les mouettes et les goélands, c'est un des endroits de France les plus riches en espèces migratrices, dont il accueille entre 60 000 et 130 000 individus pendant la saison hivernale :
Bernache cravant
canards : Canard siffleur, Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard colvert, Tadorne de Belon, Canard pilet
Échassiers : barge, bécasseau, héron cendré, spatule blanche, aigrette garzette, ibis sacré.
I decided to get a haircut from Maximum FX, since I won a $40 gift certificate to the salon during SXSW. I thought Kendra did a nice job -- though, sadly, I can never get my own hair to look this sleek!
There's a thrift store in Fishtown that tries to cater to the hipster set. They've painted their Truck with cartoon eyes.

ESPS Extremadura (F75) was the fifth ship of the five Spanish-built Baleares-class frigates of the Spanish Navy, based on the United States Navy Knox class design.
Laid down on 3 November 1971 and launched on 21 November 1972, Extremadura was commissioned on 10 November 1976. She was decommissioned in 2006.
The Baleares class were a group of five frigates built for the Spanish Navy in the late 1960s and 1970s. The ships were a modified version of the American Knox-class frigates. The key differences are the replacement of helicopter facilities by a medium-range surface-to-air missile system and associated radars. Constructed between 1968 and 1976, the Baleares class began entering service in 1973 and formed the 31 Escort Squadron, based at Ferrol. The five ships were upgraded several times during their service lives. The ships were retired beginning in the mid-2000s and replaced by the Álvaro de Bazán-class frigates on a one-to-one basis.
In the 1960s, Spain sought to update its fleet of warships. The government entered into negotiations with the United Kingdom for the acquisition of four Leander-class frigates. However, the negotiations failed as questions were raised in the United Kingdom over dealing with the unpopular Spanish government. Instead, the Spanish government turned to the United States and on 17 November 1964 an agreement acquire five Knox-class frigates was signed. On 31 March 1966, a technical support agreement was reached between the two nations. As part of the agreement, the hulls and machinery were to be constructed in Spain at Ferrol while the weapons and sensors would come from the United States. The superstructures were to be built at Alicante, Spain and the boilers, distilling machinery and propellers at Cádiz.
Though copies of the American Knox class, the Baleares class was a modified design. The Spanish frigates removed the aft flight deck and helicopters along with the short-range Sea Sparrow missile defence system and replaced them with the medium-range Standard surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. The frigates of the Baleares class had an initial standard displacement of 3,015 metric tons (2,967 long tons) and a full load displacement of 4,177 t (4,111 long tons). They measured 126.5 metres (415 ft 0 in) long between perpendiculars and 133.5 m (438 ft 0 in) long overall with a beam of 14.3 metres (46 ft 11 in) and a maximum draught of 7.5 m (24 ft 7 in) over the sonar. The ships would go through a series of modifications throughout their service, with their standard displacement increasing to 3,350 t (3,300 long tons) and their draught increasing to 7.8 m (25 ft 7 in) over the sonar.
The Baleares class were equipped with one Westinghouse geared turbine turning one shaft creating 26,000 kilowatts (35,000 shp). It was powered by steam from by two Combustion Engineering V2M boilers. The boilers had a working pressure of 84.4 kg/cm2 (1,200 psi) at 510 °C (950 °F). This gave the Baleares class a maximum speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph). They had capacity for 750 metric tons (740 long tons; 830 short tons) of fuel oil giving them a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km; 5,200 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph). They had a complement of 256 including 15 officers.
The frigates were initially armed with one 5-inch (127 mm)/54-calibre Mk 42 naval gun, the Standard SM1-MR SAM system with a Mark 22 launcher and 16 missiles and the Mark 112 octuple RUR-5 ASROC anti-submarine warfare system using Mark 46 torpedoes with eight reloads. The frigates also had four 12.75-inch (324 mm) torpedo tubes fitted internally into the port and starboard of the aft superstructure and inclined at 45° for Mark 44 torpedoes and two 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes fitted internally at the stern for Mark 37 torpedoes.[3][4][5] The ships stored 41 torpedoes total. The Baleares class underwent a two stage mid-life modernisation between 1985 and 1991 which involved the addition of four Harpoon surface-to-surface missiles in the first stage and two 20-millimetre (0.79 in) Meroka CIWS gun systems in the second stage. They also had their stern torpedo tubes removed to accommodate the variable depth sonar installation.
The frigates initially fitted AN/SPS-52A air search and AN/SPG-51C gun fire control radars along with AN/SQS-23 hull-mounted and AN/SQS-35A variable depth towed sonars. During the first stage modernisation, the ships were given AN/SPS-10F surface search radar and the AN/SPG-53 Mark 68 gun fire control system. The ships were also given upgraded fire control where the Mark 74 system used the Mark 73 director and the SPG-51C radar along with the Mark 68 director with the SPG-53 radar to control two Standard missiles simultaneously. The Mark 68 could also be used to control the main gun. Additionally, the frigates received SRN-15A, TACAN, the TRITAN-1 combat data system and NATO Link 11. During the second stage, the Baleares class received the RAN-12L/X air search radar for the Meroka CIWS system and replaced the original SQS-23 sonar with the DE1160LF sonar. They also saw their electronic warfare suite improved with the addition Mark 36 SBROC decoy launchers.
