These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.

 

Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... They are happily appreciated!

 

Enjoy!

After three days of heavy snow, when I had all but given up hope of seeing the sun... there it was.

 

And, just like that, it was gone.

 

Do you prefer this to the horizontal I previously posted? I'm torn between the two -- I like the empty space of the other one, but I like the leading line in this one, so I'll keep both for now. Thanks as always for stopping by!

 

I just finished an 8-day backpacking trip in the Sierra... and saw what could totally have been the most amazing thing of my life. I'm still working on a few images to try to convey the moment to you... but I promise they are coming :)

The news is a constant stream of atrocities and war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine. There is no other war in history where so many criminal, murderous, reckless and senseless acts have been so well documented and immediately shared with the world. I often feel like we all have a front-row seat to the most terrifying events in our lives and yet are powerless to do anything to help. This message is a further reminder that we are all not powerless.

 

We can all work together to help. We can create artwork, attend rallies, write to politicians, donate our time or money, and some truly heroic individuals head straight for the war to take up arms or deliver humanitarian aid while risking their own life. I am not that brave, but we are doing everything we can here to help.

 

This week we delivered four car-loads of groceries, supplies, toys, medicine, and general aid to the refugee effort here in Varna, Bulgaria. There are two centres open now, partly due to the main sports complex requiring a scaled back operation as they resume their normal activities. We’ll continue bringing supplies, and we are incredibly grateful to all those that have donated for this effort.

 

This image took a few missteps but finally was completed today. The concept was to get blue and yellow fluorescing ink in the center of a gerbera daisy, which has a very similar resemblance to a small sunflower (and we have some novelty sunflower seeds on order for more images). The first attempt was using highlighter ink, but the blue ink did not fluoresce. The second attempt was using fluorescent tempera paint, but still the blue did not fluoresce. Today we visited a specialty art store and they had what I needed, though it felt odd walking around shining a UV flashlight on their product offerings. The daisy is illuminated with a Convoy S2 UV flashlight after carefully painting the center of the flower with the two colours. Yellow fluorescence tends to be a bit yellow-green, so this needed to be adjusted in editing to properly emulate the Ukrainian colours.

 

“Peace” talks may continue, but Putin has showcased his complete disregard for any agreements, treaties, humanitarian corridors, international law, and more. The longer this war continues, the more I realize that there really is no negotiating with the devil. NATO and other allied nations need to find a way to remove Putin from power without creating an existential threat for Russia, and threading such a needle is damn near impossible. I’m certain that the most brilliant military minds in the world are working on this, but here we still sit, watching in horror of the daily crimes against humanity. I fear we will become numb to this in time, but should not simply be complacent regarding our own safety or the lives of other human beings just like us. Please, write to your politicians about your thoughts. Tell them to take action, whether it be increasingly harsh sanctions or military involvement. We all must do more to stop this brutal genocide.

 

This daisy was bedraggled and bruised, but shining brightly. Just like the heroes in Ukraine. Their hearts are filled with their freedom, and they will fight to their last breath. And like all images in this series, I deliberately enter it into the Public Domain so anyone can use it for any purpose without crediting me or any license required. Just another way to support the cause – and there is always more to do.

Torres del Paine is a national park in the Extreme South region of Patagonian Chile. It is located in the southern tiers of the Andes and features mountains, lakes and glaciers.

The Torres del Paine (Spanish for "Towers of Paine" and "Paine" is the old indigenos name for the colour blue), three immense rock towers give the park its name.

Other attractions include the Cuernos del Paine, Grey Glacier, Lago Grey, Lago Pehoe, Lago Nordenskjöld and Lago Sarmiento. Jutting out some 2800m above the Patagonian steppe, the Torres del Paine are spectacular granite pillars that dominate the landscape of what may be South America's finest national park. These breathtaking spires are flanked by the summit of Paine Grande (3050m) and the sharp tusks of black sedimentary peaks known as Los Cuernos (The Horns; 2200m to 2600m). Yes, these are the famous Patagonian mountains that you see on posters and book covers all over the world.

 

But the park is not just mountains. Trails meander through emerald forests, alongside and over roaring rivers, past radiant blue glaciers, azure lakes and up to jaw-dropping lookouts. You can hike into the vast openness of the steppe, heading to less-visited lakes and glaciers, all the while keeping an eye on the looming peaks. That is when the weather is clear. Unpredictable at best, weather systems can sheath the peaks in veils of clouds that hold for hours, if not days. Even then, the park has its allure - but it is always wise to plan a few extra days to make sure that your trip isn't torpedoed by a spot of bad weather. The best-known and most spectacular summits are the three Towers of Paine. They are gigantic granite monoliths shaped by the forces of glacial ice.

The South Tower of Paine (about 2,500 m) is now thought to be the highest of the three, although this has not been definitely established. It was first climbed by Armando Aste.

The Central Tower of Paine (about 2,460 m) was first climbed in 1963 by Chris Bonington and Don Whillans, and the North Tower of Paine (about 2,260 m) was first climbed by Guido Monzino.

The Star of Hope is an old Shipwreck along the sands between Ainsdale and Formby.

Been waiting patiently for the right morning and tide for around 6 months now, Has to be right on an ebbing low tide, and some decent light with the morning sun in the right position so was pleased with the conditions this morning. For a wreck arround 130 years old, she is not in bad nick.

Some info on this shipwreck for those interested

 

The Star of Hope flounded off the Mersey Estuary in 1883.

 

She was built at the Stephen and Forbes boatbuilding yard at Peterhead and was launched in 1865. In the late 1800's it was normal that Vessels would be expected in the Mersey given that they had been spotted rounding the top West corner of the Welsh coast and the details telegraphed to their owners :

 

The Southport visitor records :

 

A telegram says – The German Barque the Star of Hope was known to be off the Mersey, where distress flares were seen. Nothing has been heard of her since. A further report says the crew of the Star of Hope are aboard the Crosby light ship. The vessel must therefore be wrecked.

Slower shutter speed 1/5 secs to capture the silky effect of the the water. Can't go any lower as I took this shot handheld without tripod.

Is death something new in the stock

Of events stored for mortal's sake ?

By Nature from it's early wake

Scented blooms although shorter lives may take.

 

Length of life is not the mark

A human holds, a golden hook

To fish his laurels or to gain

His ends in life avoiding stake,

But the way he acts before its break.

 

Life of man from where it comes

And how in body lingers who knows ?

And who is to pronounce

It's form or size, and its immanence

Are we able to know ? poor souls

 

To let you see your sun set at noon

O ! hapless would it ever be ?

For irretrievable, if it is to happen

Could you dear mum bear the pain ?

 

Hurled unto darkness, what more to add

From the world to depart is sad

But to part with the one, prideless to you in life

Would it be so hard indeed ?

On February 21, 1952 Police opened fire on a student demonstration in Dhaka demanding Bangla to be one of the national languages of the then Pakistan. A number of students of Dhaka University laid down their lives in that shooting and thus creating a unique event in the annals of History. Never before has any one laid down their lives for recognition of their mother tongue!

 

This event is observed throughout Bangladesh and in Dhaka it begins with laying of floral wreaths starting from midnight followed by early morning barefoot procession towards the Central Shaheed Minar located near Dhaka Medical College Hospital (the location where the students were shot and killed).

 

Its observance was also formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution in 2008 establishing as the International Year of Languages!

Pandorea jasminoides, commonly known as Bower of Beauty, Bower Vine or Bower Climber is an evergreen, woody climber. Found in tropical and subtropical rainforests and warm temperate areas of eastern Queensland to northern New South Wales.

With a section of Babbacombe Road closed for re-surfacing work a diversion is currently in place via Perinville Road, Redenhill Road & St Anne's Road. Perinville Road is not a wide road and has many cars parked along one side of it, even though some parking restrictions are in place. There's not enough room for large vehicles to pass on sections, at one point I had to stand on someone's driveway so that oncoming traffic could use the pavement to pass a bus!

 

Pictured pulling out of Perinville Road onto Redenhill Road is 15802, WA61KZN, on a 22 to Dawlish Warren. After managing not to ground the bus and waiting for the car to reverse all that was left to do was avoid lopping the overhanging tree on the corner and he was away!

"Castle of fire"

Os pongo en antecedentes, 10 de septiembre de este año, dia libre, el hombre del tiempo no da nubes que adornen el cielo, para que salir a hacer fotos puffff, mejor en casita viendo una pelicula, me escribe Alejandro Rodriguez un mensaje y me manda una foto, Luis, mata al hombre del tiempo mira que nubes hay en el cielo. Que hago, salgo, no salgo, algun sitio que este cerca. Al final me decido y me doy una vuelta para hacer el atardecer en la archiconocida Caudilla, que curiosamente solo he visitado una vez, pues para alla que me voy, creo que finalmente merecio la pena eso si, a mi me pico algo en el pie y tuve que ir al medico con el pie mas hinchado que un botillo....Heridas de guerra....

 

Agradeceros si os pasais por la pagina de facebook lafphotography y le dais un me gusta, es un aliciente para seguir trabajando para todos vosotros

A warm, sunny Spring day - a perfect gift after a long, crazy work week. Once again be reminded that the 105mm lens I love so much makes it seem like there are glowing little ones like these popping up all over. While, in reality, although there are LOTS of green shoots coming up there are still very few little pockets of flowers.

 

But that's just fine, with Spring finally here, it feels great to have everything move more slowly now.

 

I hope your weekends are filled with light and flowers and love. :)

Peregrine,

 

One of the larger falcons, the Peregrine is a symbol of survival against the odds, these being persecution and pesticide poisoning that threatened it with extinction, Now it has made a strong comeback, in the UK, it is more common than it has ever been, although parts of its fomer range remain unoccupied, As with most falcons and hawks, females are considerbly larger than males, Pairs often remain together for long periods, soaring over nesting cliffs, Peregrines look dark against the sky, but a close view reveals black, white, and yellow adding sharp contrast to the over all grey,

Occurrence - Widespread but scarce, breeding through Scandinavia, N and W Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Alps, Italy, and Balkans, in hills and coasts with cliffs, increasingly in cities, Present all year, some wandering in winter,

 

Voice ;- Loud, raucous calls at nest include throaty haak-haak-haak and whining kee-keee-eeeeee and wheeee-ip ,

Nesting ;- On broad ledge or earthy scrape on cliff, in quarry, or more rarely on building or on flatter ground, 2 - 4 eggs, 1 brood, March - June,

Feeding ;- Kills birds of sizes ranging from thrush to pigeon or grouse, sometimes larger, often rising to take them from beneath, chasing in level flight, or stooping from great height,

 

Order ;- Falconiformes

Family ;- Falcnidae

Species ;- Falco peregrinus

Length ;- 39 - 50 cm ( 15,5 - 20 in )

Wingspen ;- 0,95 - 1,15 m ( 3 - 3ft 9ins )

Weight ;- 600 - 1,300g ( 21 - 46 oz )

Social ;- Family groups

Lifespan ;- Up to 15 years

Status ;- Rare

One of those nights when your jaw just falls and you're wishing you never have to leave such a beautiful place.

 

I shot this from a tarn 25 miles from the nearest trailhead, in the backcountry of the High Sierra. The unique light was caused by the combination of building clouds and smoke from nearby fires.

 

Thanks so much for looking -- and, as always, any suggestions to make it even better are highly welcome.

This is a series of postcards photographed by Victor Ross from Petawawa, Ontario during the late 1930's. These are postcards numbered R-22 & R-25 (the R stands for "Ross").

 

There is also a line of postcards "Victor Ross" made with the "V" - which stands for the Victor. Both the V's and the R's were in his folder that was produced around 1940.

 

Victor George Krigger/Thrasher (Ross)

1909–1966

BIRTH 3 OCT 1909 • Pembroke, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

DEATH 10 SEP 1966 • Petawawa, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

 

Victor George Krigger (Ross) was born on October 3, 1909, in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada, his step-father, William Ross, was 28 and his mother, Mary, was 28. He had three sons and three daughters with Ethel May James. He died on September 10, 1966, in Petawawa, Ontario, Canada, at the age of 56.

I would like to show you my own vision of the Fallen Mask Maker. In this design I wanted to include elements of Aztec and Mayan cultures. And my Makuta looks like the Gods or shamans of those times (Horned Helmet, Scull Amulet (hi, Scull Creatures!) and etc).

 

Additionaly the Herald of Solar Eclipse have any elements of the Okotan culture (Golden Armor, elemental crystal Hammer, etc).

 

As other Masters of Elements, Makuta has his own elemental creature, Kraven (from "Kra-" (matoran stem "elemental shadow") and "raven").

 

Thanks for taking a look and may shadow be with you!

The information board on the drystone wall reads;

 

"This beautiful rock is like the age-tinted wall of a prodigious castle; the stone is very white, and from the ledges hang various shrubs and vegetables, which with the tints given it by the bog water. & c. gives it a variety that i never before saw so pleasing in a plain rock." - Adam Walker 1779

 

Malham Cove has been a wonder of the Yorkshire Dales since people first started visiting. Once upon a time, a huge waterfall poured over the top as a massive glacier melted on the high land above it. Since then, freezing water and rain have continued the process of creating the sheer limestone cliff face we see today. Recent investigations in the caves behind the cliff have shown that the Cove may have been formed 50,000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought.

The Tower of London was built my the Normans and dates back to 1066 with the White Tower being built in 1078. The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Photos taken while complying with UK Coronavirus lockdown.

 

I used my Tamron 35 mm lens instead of my Canon 100 mm lens and was very pleased with its performance. Composition needed to be adapted. A stack of 12 focus points at a single exposures level. A ring light around the lens and a powerful LED work-light were used to produce the lighting.

 

Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet or columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. The Colorado Blue Columbine (A. caerulea) is the official state flower of Colorado. Large numbers of hybrids are available for the garden, since the European A. vulgaris was hybridized with other European and North American varieties. Aquilegia species are very interfertile, and will self-sow. Some varieties are short-lived so are better treated as biennials.

Another image of this spring's cherry blossoms in downtown Portland. This photo was made on my second roll ever using Cinestill 800T. Coincidentally, or serendipitously, my first experience with this film was an Alpha roll I shot at last year's cherry blossoms. I had been meaning to try it again, and while I don't think I intended to photograph more cherry blossoms with it, nonetheless I ended up here with that film in my camera. This film is tungsten balanced, so if used under daylight conditions it renders a fairly heavy blue cast. But the previous roll I had exposed I rated at ISO 400 instead of 800, overexposing by a stop, and the blue cast had been much less pronounced than expected. So I wanted to try that experiment again and see how a second roll came out. The colors are still cool, but they are not cold. And I enjoy the film's soft contrast and saturation. I had a great conversation about subtlety yesterday, and this film - at least used in a situation such as this - is much more about subtlety. It speaks in more subdued tones, rather than shouting at you. I dig that. I'd say I need to shoot more of it, and do more nighttime stuff like it is meant for, but I say that about a lot of films, so we'll see.

Heading out of Beamish Museum town is tram Grimsby & Immingham Electric Railway No.26, proudly sporting it's newly applied livery (complete with British Railways crest!), and in real danger of being overtaken by a cyclist!

 

This tram is actually the museum's well loved Gateshead 10, adopting the guise it had when it was sold on to British Railways Eastern Region by Gateshead following the closure of their tramway in 1951. It continued to work as 26 on their electric railway between Grimsby and Immingham for ten years before being retired and returning to the North-East for restoration to it's former Gateshead glory.

 

The tram was withdrawn from service at Beamish several years ago in need of major restoration work. It is hoped that this work will be completed in 2021/22 and the tram, restored to it's Gateshead persona, will return to active service.

 

This is a posed shot which was part of an organised photoshoot. Photographer unknown.

This was one of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen let alone photographed. Rhys and I walked down a flooded stream in Hazelbrook yesterday and this waterfall was our last of the day. It was way of the track and we had to climb down another waterfall to get to it. What made this so unique is that there is a waterfall and the back of a waterfall in the one shot. I am using my Mums Nikon D60 at the moment as my Canon is dead. I have no filters to fit the nikon but with the water flowing so fast I could still get that long exposed look.

The Grade I Listed Church of St John the Baptist in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

 

The original parish church, dating from the 11th century, was some distance to the east of the current location, on the site now occupied by Bishop Creighton Academy. When the centre of Peterborough moved west, the church was relocated stone by stone. Construction of the current church began in 1402 and it was dedicated to St John the Baptist in 1407.

 

Restoration in 1819 'brutally swept away' old features and added clerestory and galleries. In 1882 John Loughborough Pearson provided new roofs, new clerestory, aisle parapets, and tracery. The galleries were removed, the east window unblocked and raised, floors lowered, and a new pulpit added. This restoration work was for Revd Henry Syers and designed in 1880.

 

The church was refurnished in High Anglican manner in 1938 and incorporated a new rood and elaborately painted and gilded timber reredos with carved figures under heavily traceried canopies. The figures were carved by Mahomet Thomas Phillips while working at Bowman & Sons of Stamford.

 

In 1968 a new stained-glass window, designed by Brian Thomas, was installed. It depicts notable people connected to Peterborough: Symon Gunton, vicar of the parish during the plague, between 1665 and 1667, Nurse Edith Cavell, Captain Thomas Mellows who died in 1944, fighting in the French Resistance, and William Law.

One of the walking dead I saw at the most recent Stockholm Zombie Walk. So glad to be back after several years of pandemic restrictions!

I was at a do at the Royal Institute of British Architects today. Luckily I remembered to take my camera, not surprisingly its a beautiful building with lots of original features. This was taken up on the top floor looking up through a skylight.

The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge east of and adjacent to Jerusalem's Old City. It is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes. The southern part of the Mount was the Silwan necropolis, attributed to the ancient Judean kingdom. The Mount has been used as a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years and holds approximately 150,000 graves, making it central in the tradition of Jewish cemeteries. Several key events in the life of Jesus, as related in the Gospels, took place on the Mount of Olives, and in the Acts of the Apostles it is described as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven. Because of its association with both Jesus and Mary, the Mount has been a site of Christian worship since ancient times and is today a major site of pilgrimage for Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants.

 

Much of the top of the hill is occupied by At-Tur, a former village and now a neighbourhood of East Jerusalem with a majority-Muslim population.

I am afraid of heights.

 

More than anything really. Standing at the top of the cliff I felt sick to my stomach and my legs were shaking so much I could harldy stand up. But I really wanted to try and get over it and just jump. I'm so glad I did. And look how happy my friends are waiting for me =] Maybe because it was after about 20 minutes of convincing.

 

By the way I am screaming my head off.

One of the several waterfalls at `Ohe`o Gulch which are some of the most scenic on the island of Maui. It was a sizable hike to get to this particular scenic view, but well worth the effort. The Hana road drive presented some of the most gorgeous scenery of our trip, and this was one of the best. Hope you enjoy.
