Needle ice is a needle-shaped column of ice formed by groundwater. Needle ice forms when the temperature of the soil is above 0 Ā°C (32 Ā°F) and the surface temperature of the air is below 0 Ā°C (32 Ā°F). Liquid water underground rises to the surface by capillary action, and then freezes and contributes to a growing needle-like ice column. The process usually occurs at night when the air temperature reaches its minimum.
The ice needles are typically a few centimetres long. While growing, they may lift or push away small soil particles. On sloped surfaces, needle ice may be a factor contributing to soil creep.
Naaldijs is naaldvormige ijskristallen gevormd uit bevroren grondwater. Het is een natuurfenomeen dat zich voordoet wanneer de temperatuur van de bodem net boven 0Ā°C en de temperatuur van de lucht net onder 0Ā°C ligt. Door capillaire werking wordt grondwater naar het oppervlak gebracht, alwaar het door de koude lucht bevriest tot naaldvormige ijskristallen. De kristallen kunnen een lengte van enkele centimeters bereiken. Omdat water uitzet bij bevriezen, kunnen er scheuren in de bodem ontstaan. Op hellingen kan hierdoor afschuiving van de bodem optreden.
Naaldijs moet niet verward worden met ijsnaalden. IJsnaalden zijn een vorm van neerslag, namelijk poolsneeuw. De ijsnaalden zijn heel fijn van structuur en bijna onzichtbaar.
While at a building which housed several art galleries I saw this nearly eight foot tall the character Bumblebee from the Transformer's franchise. The whole art piece was made from actual car parts and must have weighed several hundred pounds at a minimum.

Zeiss Ikon Contarex Bullseye (aka Cyclops) with Carl Zeiss 50mm Planar (both circa. 1965). Fuji Velvia 100. Nikon 9000 scanner.
I'm really trying hard to like this old Zeiss Ikon camera, but it's so quirky and the meter so antiquated I don't always get good results. I like the Carl Zeiss lens, however. Its' optics are decent, even by todays high standards, and it has an amazing MFD for a standard lens -- 20 cm from tip to film plane. That's unheard of for a non-macro lens. Here's a shot at close to MFD. No extension tubes; no add-on filters or lenses.
LāAĆ©roplume est un ballon dirigeable, individuel, minimum, qui permet de sāenvoler en battant des ailes !
Le pilote est allongĆ© sous une bulle dāhĆ©lium, dans un harnais. LibĆ©rĆ© de la pesanteur, grĆ¢ce Ć lāhĆ©lium, Ć©quipĆ© dāailes, il peut alors sāenvoler et se dĆ©placer librement dans lāair Ć la force des bras. Lāimportante prise au vent, la faible vitesse de vol (5ā8 km/h) font que lāAĆ©roplume se pratique exclusivement en intĆ©rieur, dans de grandes salles, Ć lāabri des alĆ©as mĆ©tĆ©o.
ActiviteĢ sans danger accessible aĢ tous, aĢ partir de 7 ans et jusquāaĢ 90 kg. LāAeĢroplume est une invention de JeanāPierre David, cāest lāhistoire contemporaine du dirigeable en France.
AĢ lāinteĢrieur du hangar, entre les eĢleĢments de la structure, un couloir de 150 mĆØtres de long, 24 mĆØtres de large et 30 mĆØtres de haut permet le vol de 2 ou 3 AeĢroplumes.
The Aeroplume is an airship, individual, minimal, which allows you to take flight by flapping your wings!
The pilot lies under a helium bubble, in a harness. Freed from gravity, thanks to helium, equipped with wings, it can then take off and move freely in the air using the power of its arms. The significant wind resistance and low flight speed (5-8 km/h) mean that the AĆ©roplume is practiced exclusively indoors, in large rooms, sheltered from the vagaries of the weather.
Safe activity accessible to all, from 7 years old and up to 90 kg. The AĆ©roplume is an invention of Jean-Pierre David, it is the contemporary history of the airship in France.
Inside the hangar, between the elements of the structure, a corridor 150 meters long, 24 meters wide and 30 meters high allows the flight of 2 or 3 Aeroplumes.
I photographed this beautiful Allen's hummingbird last week at my sister's house. The concept is to photograph the birds in the shade, using at least 5 strobes pointed at the bird, and one strobe pointed at the painted background. The idea is to provide even light on the bird, and a non distracting background.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum of 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background (which you have to provide), and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 5 Yongnuo strobes to light the birds and a 6th flash to light the painted background. The strobes were all at about 1/16th power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. Down below in the first comment you can see a picture of the lighting setup that I used for this picture.
I've taken quite a few hummingbird pictures which are in my creatively titled Hummingbirds Album.
5000 ice sculptures lined the steps of Chamberlain Sq in Birmingham to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. Amazing artwork from Nele Azevedo. Poignant and moving.
More to follow.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Comb-creasted Jacana
Scientific Name: Irediparra gallinacea
Description: The Comb-crested Jacana, also known as the Lotusbird, has a red fleshy forehead comb, a black crown, back and breast and brown wings. The belly, face and throat are white, and there is a faint yellow tinge around the eye and throat. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the female is larger than the male, and slightly brighter in colour. In flight, the long legs and toes trail behind the body. Young Jacanas resemble the adult birds, but are rufous to black on the head and nape, and have a rufous-black breast band. The red fleshy comb is much smaller and darker.
Distribution: Comb-crested Jacanas occupy coastal and sub-coastal regions from the Kimberleys, Western Australia, through northern Australia to about Grafton, New South Wales. They are more common in the north of their range. The species also occurs in New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Habitat: Comb-crested Jacanas are found in tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands, including lagoons, billabongs, swamps, lakes, rivers, sewage ponds and dams, providing there is adequate floating vegetation.
Seasonal movements: Comb-crested Jacanas will move to new locations, particularly in response to changes in their current habitat, such as droughts or excessive flooding.
Feeding: The Comb-crested Jacana feeds on aquatic insects, which it seizes from floating vegetation or the surface of the water. It also feeds on seeds and aquatic plants. Birds rarely come to shore. When searching for food, the Comb-crested Jacana bobs its head and flicks its tailed continuously.
Breeding: The female Comb-crested Jacana may mate with several males, while the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and cares for the young. If danger threatens the young birds, the male has the curious habit of picking the chicks up under his wings and carrying them off to safety.
Minimum Size: 20cm
Maximum Size: 23cm
Average size: 21cm
Breeding season: September to May (later in the north than in the east)

Saturday night cruising in Paprihaven, at the Market Street 7-11.
WEEEOOOPP!!
PPD Officer Candace Cration lights up and gives the siren a brief touch as she slows her Mustang GT to a stop. A kid about to run into the street is not good. Being chased by an adult is even worse.*
Candace thumbs her radio as she lowers her window, "Chase Unit, possible 10-33 at Market 7-11, one juvenile being chased by one adult male."
She then addresses them, "Hey! Stop! Don't run in the street! What's going on?"
"He's chasin me!!"
"I ain't touched em! They was messin with my Stang! You drivin a Stang! You unnerstand!"
"Did he touch you?"
"No ma'am!"
"I TOLD ya I din't tou-"
"You, get back to your car and shut up! Young man, are you here alone?"
"My house is just down the stree there. I just came to-"
"Okay, you get back home."
"Okay, I was goin."
"Hey! Afore that little hoodlum runs off, if you come check out my Stang, we can-"
"You're a grown man in a wife-beater tee, chasing a juvenile onto Market Street on a Saturday night! You want a one-way ride in my 'Stang' to jail? If not, shut up, get back to your car and leave!"
"Awright, AWRIGHT!"
Candace has found on Market Street Saturday nights it's good to keep conversation to a minimum and focus on quick results.

Be Like A Lotus
These portraits of plants, have been made for many different reasons but always for the JOY of it. All of my photographs are daytime, made in city parks and gardens and virtually straight out of the camera with the absolute minimum of post processing.
This on going photographic odyssey, that I call TERRA INCOGNITA, has helped me notice what is always present in my life if I can make the time to look.

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!
