Dreaming of my number ten
Who i see, every day when
I do measure, my feelings deep
That fill my day and my sleep
With sweet dreams, i do measure
With sweet thoughts of my treasure
Who fills my thoughts and my slumber
She is my ten, such a beautiful number

Now I know why a tripod is a must for long exposures. ;) This photo was taken on top of the office building. Detroit and Southfield on the back horizon.
On another note:
"Five is the only prime number to end in the digit 5, because all other numbers written with a 5 in the ones-place under the decimal system are multiples of five. As a consequence of this, 5 is in base 10 a 1-automorphic number."
"Vulgar fractions with 5 or 2 in the denominator do not yield infinite decimal expansions, as is the case with most primes, because they are prime factors of ten, the base. When written in the decimal system, all multiples of 5 will end in either 5 or 0."

Pleasantly surprised last night when I looked out the window and saw the snow falling. Too beautiful to pass up a short walk through the neighborhood.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuyama_Castle:
Fukuyama Castle (福山城, Fukuyama-jō), sometimes called Hisamatsu Castle (久松城, Hisamatsu-jō) or Iyō Castle (葦陽城, Iyō-jō) was the castle of the Bingo-Fukuyama Han during the Edo period of Japanese history. The grounds of the castle have been designated a National Historic Site since 1964. The castle is located in Fukuyama Park in Fukuyama, Hiroshima near Fukuyama Station.
Fukuyama Castle is located at a hill in the center of Fukuyama city. Prior to the Edo Period, this area was a large tidal flat. The Sanyōdō highway, which connects the Kinai region with Kyushu, ran to the north of the modern city center, and Tomonoura, a port on the Seto Inland Sea from the Heian period, was to the south. The main power center for Bingo Province was at Kannabe Castle to the northeast. After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Fukushima Masanori was awarded control of both Aki Province and Bingo Province; however, in 1619, the Tokugawa shogunate used the pretext that he had made repairs to Hiroshima Castle without permission to seize a portion of his domain, awarding a 100,000 koku portion of Bingo Province to Tokugawa Ieyasu's cousin, Mizuno Katsunari. Katsunari had an outstanding military record and it was expected that he would act as a bulwark on the Sanyōdō highway against possible rebellion by the powerful tozama daimyō of western Japan, such as the Mōri clan. Mizuno found that Kannabe Castle was located in a narrow mountain valley and was inconvenient both to manage his domain and to defend against attack, some received a special exception from the shogunate's "one domain - one castle" rule to build a new castle and castle town on reclaimed land. Construction started in 1619 and was completed in 1622.
The new Fukuyama Castle occupied a hill with a length of 400 meters and width of 200 meters. The inner bailey occupies the southern half of the hill, and contains a five-story tenshu at its northern edge. The southern edge was protected by two yagura turrets.The Fushimi yagura was a white three-story structure transferred from abolished Fushimi Castle in Kyoto. The Tsukumi yagura has a red handrail balcony. Between these two yagura is the main gate of the castle, also transferred from Fushimi Castle.
The secondary bailey occupied the north half of the hill, and outer bailey surrounded south half of the hill. Fukuyama Castle had seven three-story yagura and 15 smaller yagura, and tall stone walls, and was surrounded by water moats, connected by canal to the Seto Inland Sea.
The Mizuno clan was replaced by the Abe clan was rulers of Fukuyama Domain in 1698 and governed to the Meiji restoration. Although the various Abe daimyō played important political roles in the administration of the shogunate, they seldom visited the domain in person. During the Boshin War, Fukuyama Castle was attacked by the Chōshū army in January 1868, but the domain defected to the Imperial side and the castle was spared destruction.
After the Meiji Restoration, most of the buildings except for the tenshu and a number of yagura were demolished. The castle grounds became a public park. In 1931, the tenshu was designed a "National Treasure" under the former Cultural Properties Protection Law. However, the tenshu burned down during World War II. Much of outer areas of the castle grounds disappeared due to the construction of railways and urban development. Fukuyama Station was built directly adjacent to the inner bailey of the castle and the tenshu can be seen clearly from its platforms.
I hoped that my bird species number 200 (in Norway, after starting registering 3 years ago) would be a less shy and more photogenic bird than the tundra bean goose (Anser serrirostris) on Sunday ツ
But meeting a species for the first time is always a nice experience, and it's interesting to learn more about them. These only visit our part of the country during winter, and mostly nest on the tundras of Northern Norway and Russia.
(Tundrasædgås in Norwegian)
They had the company of a flock of whooper swans (sangsvaner in Norwegian), and a nice common buzzard (musvåk in Norwegian) that sat watching on the field behind them.
Edit: Later this actually turned into my bird species number 201 in Norway 😅 And the previous and rare greater sand plover (ørkenlo in Norwegian) turned into number 200.
The reason is that I finally managed to find a date of seeing the western capercaillie (tiur/storfugl) when I was little, and it was added to my official list.
I have some more photos of them in the links below the line.

**Subject** Lucky Number.
Yes, my lucky number is #17.
This started many years ago, when I was about 14 years old. I used to have season passes to go to the Philadelphia Wings Lacrosse Team's home games.. *I attended almost every single one*.. and I was a huge fan. I used to LOVE Tom Ryan # 17... and Bergee # 66 ,, the goalie. They were my favorites.
So those # s are still my lucky numbers.. They haven't changed or waivered. My favorite numbers.
& That is the reason why!

However, the other challenges, I will post when I can.. (there is no *you have to post every single week* demands.. so, if & when I can.. I will happily participate in these fun challenges.

Lucky #23. Lucky for family birthdays, great athletes, and in mathematics the 9th prime number. And of weird and enchanting significance. But unfortunately the Lottery gods always say "Sorry Ernie, NOT today".
Hey everyone,
Lake Weyba, Qld, Australia.
So I thought it'd be fun to do a countdown of my top 10 favourite shots from this year.
Coming in at #10 is this image I took at Lake Weyba I took at sunrise in September.
My girlfriend and I went for a sunrise shoot to Lake Weyba and I wanted to shoot the famous mangrove tree differently to most shots I've seen and I really liked how this one turned out.
Hope you like it too, Cheers
