Shrimp fishing on horseback has existed on the Belgian coast since 1510, according to historical archives. The fishing method, in which a horse pulls a net, was spread along the entire North Sea where the gently sloping beach allowed this. Since 2013, this old fishing method is Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage.
I have been in a rather dark mood here recently. And during this week, I was listening to the music that I have a link to above on Youtube. I find Secession Studios music to be so emotional...And it brought to my mind a particular statue that I have in SL. So then I was frantically rummaging through my SL inventory....and once I found "Lady of Death"-- I quickly rezzed her... and this is what my mind saw.....
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or particles suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. The droplets and crystals may be made of water or various chemicals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's homosphere (which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere). Nephology is the science of clouds which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the atmosphere; Latin and common. Cloud types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. Formally proposed in 1802, it became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms that appear in any or all of three altitude levels (formerly known as étages). These physical types, in approximate ascending order of convective activity, include stratiform sheets, cirriform wisps and patches, stratocumuliform layers (mainly structured as rolls, ripples, and patches), cumuliform heaps, and very large cumulonimbiform heaps that often show complex structure. The physical forms are divided by altitude level into ten basic genus-types. The Latin names for applicable high-level genera carry a cirro- prefix, and an alto- prefix is added to the names of the mid-level genus-types. Most of the genera can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties.
Two cirriform clouds that form higher up in the stratosphere and mesosphere have common names for their main types. They are seen infrequently, mostly in the polar regions of Earth. Clouds have been observed in the atmospheres of other planets and moons in the Solar System and beyond. However, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are often composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid as well as water.
Taken as a whole, homospheric clouds can be cross-classified by form and level to derive the ten tropospheric genera and the two additional major types above the troposphere. The cumulus genus includes three species that indicate vertical size. Clouds with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one altitude level are officially classified as low- or mid-level according to the altitude range at which each initially forms. However they are also more informally classified as multi-level or vertical.

Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing method in which fishermen use trained cormorants to fish in rivers.
Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

"Can I come home for the summer?
I could slow down for a little while
Get back to loving each other
Leave all those long and lonesome miles behind"

I decided to test cooking breakfast off the back of my truck for when I go on hikes in Colorado in a couple weeks. A toasted croissant is a great way to start any hike!
The English duo Snik completed this piece by the Aberdeen harbour. It depicts yet one more of their iconic frozen scenes of a dynamic action, which in this a girl being dragged into the air by small birds using a piece of rope. To hold fast is to keep strong or to hold on during stormy times. A sailing term, its a nice reference to the harbour location of their mural. Although they use stencils to lay out their pieces they also free hand and add into each piece which gives their work its unique look.
Their works are so detailed and realistic that it’s hard to believe that are made with stencils.
Here are photos how artists created this wall painting:

About artists:
Artist duo Snik, aka Laura and Nik, are equally at home working in the studio or on the street. Their murals – created using traditional craft methods and layers of intricate handcut stencils – can be seen from Aberdeen to Miami and Hong Kong.
There is beauty in decay. There is beauty in places that are not perfect. And there are a lot of abandoned spaces. We want to show that these spaces still have a life to them, still have a purpose and meaning. They potentially have more years in them than people realise.
These places shouldn’t just be forgotten about. And they also shouldn’t be knocked down and redeveloped every five minutes. People can be very quick to write something off if it’s not new and shiny these days.

Straight from Central Cats-ing? :-)
At first, I honestly thought this cat was simply a cardboard cutout and couldn't believe my luck when I saw he/she was real and not just part of the decorations, ha ha. And only on zooming in to crop, did I see 'that look' :-) I wonder if he/she is on contract to sit just like that for the next 3 weeks - being paid in yummy crunchies by the looks of it :-)
(Slight pun re 'lucky' timing, since I've personally always thought a black cat brings GOOD luck not bad.)
I always struggle with photography on bright, sunny days. So recently, I decided to address this issue which needed an adjustment in my approach. My decision was to work on focus stacking and getting the camera much closer to the foreground. These rocks were merely 10cm from the front element of the lens so I needed to take 7 shots in total to get everything as pin sharp as possible all the way through the image. Blending was still trick and there are small mistakes but I think I am pleased with the final result nonetheless. Taken on the coastline of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
The Independence, a yacht that tried to make it to the
America´s cup race in 1901. My colorization of a 1901 Detroit Publishing Co. photo in the Library of Congress archive.
"The Independence, an entrant for the 1901 America's Cup race. It was considered the fastest boat in the 1901 America's Cup, but turned out to be too fragile and was never in the race. The Cup was eventually won by the Columbia, one of only three boats to successfully defend the Cup."(Wikipedia)
In the book "Thomas Lipton´s America´s Cup Campaigns" by Richard V. Simpson, the Independence is described in this way:
"Although her hull is probably not lighter that that of the Columbia, she gains power through the flattening of the floor and hardening of the bilges, and the carrying of the floor out into overhangs of exceptional length. As originally designed, she was to carry a sail-spread of 14,611 square feet, with a total ballast of 75 tons. The unprecedented character of her model -.unprecedented, that is, for a 90-footer - rendered her tentative method of proportioning the spars almost anecessity: and, very wisely, care was taken to have the sail-spread over rather than under the capacity of the boat."
oh hey. i'm on rituals now. cargocollective.com/rituals
there's a ton of wonderful photographers on here so i'm pretty excited.

What a day! Everything I touched went wrong! Last night the television decided to start turning itself off and on every few seconds. This morning I went for a walk with Lizzie - my son's lovely girlfriend. Took my camera with the intention of trying out the new lens only to realise that the battery was dead! Luckily, we were only a couple of hundred yards from the house so back we went to get a fresh one. The first time I tried to take a photo I was horrified to realise that I hadn't put a memory card in. Then we took a wrong path and had to return the way we had come - but that did allow this view.... Got home and made some coffee, only to have the coffee machine throw a half filled mug across the worktop!! It then became apparent that there was something wrong with little Baxter - he was terribly uncomfortable and agitated. After an hour or so of him not settling, Peter called the emergency vet and we met her at the surgery. It cost us £100 to be told there was nothing wrong with him, so now I feel that I over-walked him to breaking point!! There were a couple of other things that were equally annoying and I will be very glad to see tomorrow....
Wild Pacific salmon reefnet fishing is an historical Pacific Northwest fishing method- the oldest known salmon net fishery in the world. Once practiced throughout the Salish Sea by its many indigenous peoples, reefnet fishing now exists only off Lummi Island.

My first bake from Chainbaker videos I've been watching the past few weeks.
I was all excited to try it and followed instructions and measurements exactly.
My sister declared the loaf "epic" from this photo of it ... but, ... a couple of hours after this..the crust looked all wrinkly...and, the inside was a disaster. I was almost too embarrassed to show it... but, it's always an experiment with bread it seems.
And, so, in the interest of science ...I show my disaster in the photo beside this one.
The crust is pretty much detached from the crumb... a huge air space showed up about 2/3 of the way into the loaf.
Such a disappointment.
The only redeeming feature in my mind is the flavour and actual texture of the crumb.
Amazing really. It makes great toast... but, don't try putting on anything where that gaping hole is... it'll dribble right through....
oh, well.... there's always next time...... and, next I'm doing the Cheesy buns...... can't go wrong with cheese and buns....

O Forte de Nossa Senhora da Graça, ou Forte da Graça, ergue-se majestosamente perto de Elvas, no Alentejo. Este exemplar da arquitetura militar portuguesa, construído entre 1763 e 1792 durante o reinado de D. José I, sob a direção do engenheiro militar francês Conde de Lippe, integra o conjunto de fortificações de Elvas, classificado como Património Mundial da UNESCO desde 2012. Situado estrategicamente no Monte da Graça, o forte, uma das mais sofisticadas fortificações abaluartadas da Europa, apresenta uma imponente estrutura circular em pedra, coroada por um distintivo reduto central octogonal amarelo. Este reduto, projetado segundo o método holandês de fortificação, alberga a Casa do Governador nos pisos superiores, uma capela no piso térreo e uma cisterna escavada na rocha no subsolo. Combinando função defensiva com elementos estéticos barrocos, a estrutura reforçava as defesas da cidade fronteiriça, sendo o edifício amarelo no topo também o centro de comando militar.
The Fort of Nossa Senhora da Graça, or Fort of Graça, stands majestically near Elvas, in the Alentejo. This example of Portuguese military architecture, built between 1763 and 1792 during the reign of King José I, under the direction of the French military engineer the Count of Lippe, is part of the Elvas fortifications complex, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012. Strategically located on Monte da Graça, the fort, one of the most sophisticated bastioned fortifications in Europe, has an imposing circular stone structure crowned by a distinctive yellow octagonal central redoubt. This redoubt, designed according to the Dutch method of fortification, houses the Governor's House on the upper floors, a chapel on the first floor and a cistern dug into the rock underground. Combining a defensive function with Baroque aesthetic elements, the structure reinforced the defenses of the border town, with the yellow building at the top also serving as the military command center.
