I offered to take their picture with their cellphone and they said thanks so I did, and I asked if I could take their picture and they said sure so I did. We didn't exchange names. Happy New Year to all three of you.
I just adore these colours and how well this picture has come out. Hope you like it too.
Artist Statement:
This painting captures a moment suspended between stillness and motion, where nature's forces meet the quiet resilience of human intervention. The floodwater, rendered in vibrant aquamarine, stretches up to a fence that divides two worlds: the ephemeral softness of a golden beige snowfield and the chaotic beauty of nature’s overflow. Flotsam clings to the fence, a symbol of nature’s unpredictability, while partial reflections in the water hint at the delicate balance between earth and sky.
The loose, expressive brushstrokes lend a softness to the composition, emphasizing the fluidity and transience of the scene. The fence, both a literal and metaphorical boundary, offers a sense of perspective, grounding the viewer amidst the vivid yet subtle interplay of colours. Strong, vibrant hues contrast with the gentle nuances of the snowfield, evoking both a sense of serenity and unease. Through this abstraction, I aim to explore the delicate relationship between control and chaos, beauty and destruction, and the quiet persistence of the natural world.
Pulborough Brooks offers several woodland walking opportunities. The main area for woodland walks is within the RSPB's Pulborough Brooks Nature Reserve. You can find trails through woodlands and heaths, including the "Wildart Trail" and footpaths marked "church". The reserve also offers a circular walk that takes you through Pulborough village and back along the River Arun
The Hetet School of Maori art kindly offered free online tuition on how to weave a kono (4 sided basket) and rourou (5 sided basket). I watched the first one before going outside and to my delight the flax I bought about 15 years ago was the perfect one for weaving.
Chose a few leaves for my first basket ensuring there was no rain forecast and made sure I left the middle 3 leaves (else the flax may not survive). I followed the instructions and cut the leaves into 10mm wide strips which are known as whenu. Then to strip out the moisture each piece is run over a knife 3 times on each side. Once all 16 were done the weaving began.
I really enjoyed the whole process and was pretty stoked how well they turned out. I've made 4 more since these ones including 2 in cardboard which is rather different to work with. The feathers on the kono are from a kereru fight I witnessed above my driveway. A small poof of feathers parachuted to the ground. They were of course all collected for future decorating.
The hilltop offers an unrivalled view of Gyantse town, and there is a small museum documenting the excesses of the British Younhusband expedition, which severely damaged the fortress in 1904. Restoration work at the fortress has taken place in recent years, but visitors have still occasinally found it difficult to gain acces.
The original fortress of Gyel-khar-tse (རྒྱལ་ཁར་ རྩེ་ rgyal khar rtse) is attributed to Pelkhor-tsen, son of the anti-Buddhist king Langdarma, who vainly sought to perpetuate the Yarlung Dynasty from West Tibet following the assassination of his father.
The walls of the present structure were reputedly built in 1268, following the rise to power of the Sakyapas, and in 1365 a palatial castle was founded on the hilltop by the local prince, Phakpa Pelzangpo (1318-1370), who had acquired influence at the court in Sakya through his reputation as a brave general in the southern military campaigns conducted by his Sakyapa overlords, and at Zhalu, where in 1350 he entered into a marriage alliance with the lords of Zhalu. As dowry he was granted the fiefdom of Changra, west of Gyantse, and he invited the great Buddhist master Buton Rinchendrub of Zhalu to reside in a temple which he had constructed there. In 1365, in addition to the Gyantse Castle, he also founded the Tsechen Chode (Shambu Tsegu) castle and temple complex at the entrance to the Gyantse valley and adopted it as his principal seat. The incarnation of Buton, Drubchen Kunga Lodro, also resided there.
New findings from NASA’s Juno probe orbiting Jupiter provide a fuller picture of how the planet’s distinctive and colorful atmospheric features offer clues about the unseen processes below its clouds. The results highlight the inner workings of the belts and zones of clouds encircling Jupiter, as well as its polar cyclones and even the Great Red Spot.
Jupiter's banded appearance is created by the cloud-forming weather layer. This composite image shows views of Jupiter in infrared and visible light taken by the Gemini North telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

This shot and poem are for my sweet friend, Kelly Dilello-Smith who lost her little granddaughter, Molly. Though the shot was taken back in August, it feels right to illustrate the poem and offer my sadness and love:
I will wear rain today
the silvered tears of angels
spilled in sorrow
and wrapped about me like fog
a gray pall of tenderness and loss
my feet sliding through frost-laden grass
of a summer gone too soon
I will listen for the sound
of angel wings
between the rustle of falling
leaves . . .

[20:02] Stephan Frontenac had brought Libby over from the small dock near the Hound's Head and sitting on his porch he offers her some iced tea he had inside. Sitting down he asks "How are you?" not having said much on the short trip over.
[20:05] Libby Kayor slipping onto to the chair as taking the ice tea sips the chilled drink. Blue eyes glancing arouund." I am well.." pausing for an moment before saying," I hired an bodyguard.."
[20:07] Stephan Frontenac raises an eyebrow at that, looking at you and then asks "What are you paying him with? And why did he say yes?"
[20:10] Libby Kayor smiles with an soft laugh," oh dear Papa did you forget I am an Frontenac. Why I used my money of course..." shrugs slim shoulder." not sure why he said yes.."
[20:11] Stephan Frontenac takes his glass, sipping some of the sweetenned herbal mixture and says with an exale that shows his depth of thought "You really should figure out why and where his loyalties lie. I would hate to see you tortured because he got some pussy from a cowgirl in the park."
[20:15] Libby Kayor delicate face frowns slightly at that," yes well I am not stupid...." sipping own tea before turning head to glance up toward the old lighthouse." you know mother would hate this place. I think it has an certain charm. Reminds me of the french countryside.."
[20:17] Stephan Frontenac nods to your words, all of them and answers "Your mother has been in worse, much worse. You would be surprised, behind that shopoholic is the of the strongest survivors I've known." He smiles kindly "Maybe not always the most knowledgable, but she always got what she wanted in the end."
[20:22] Libby Kayor head tilts when looking at her Papa," you still love her..." not really asking more stating. Libby still trying to come to terms with what you had told her. " why did you marry Mother? From what you told me seems just so strange"
[20:25] Stephan Frontenac unbuttons his shirt and then pulls a bottle of wine out from under the table. Dumping the rest of his ice tea on the ground he fills his glass with the wine and says as he offers you some "I'm not sure. Your mother was unlike anyone I had ever met. She was ... the sluttiest girl I've ever known." He smiles and says "The Dolls, the city prostitutes, were actually getting ready to beat her up because they felt she was taking away their business."
[20:30] Libby Kayor dumps out her own tea as hold glass ot for some of the wine. Blinking as you basicly call her mother an slut," so that is what draw you to her? I know she is beatiful even as not to smart.." an sip of the wine is taken before asking," so you saved her from an beating?"
[20:33] Stephan Frontenac rubs his chin, then chuckles at Lubby's words as he had given Beth plenty of beatings himself. He shakes his head "No, I only learned about that once we were married. No, I fell in love with your mother because she was both smart and stupid, strong and weak, easy to manipulate and more often then not manipulated me to get what she wanted. Life with her was never boring in the first year or two we together. She did not approve of my activities, but your mother is a practical woman and accepted me for who I was."
Elizabeth, Electress Palatine and Queen of Bohemia (born Elizabeth of Scotland; 19 August 1596 – 13 February 1662) was the eldest daughter of James VI and I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and Anne of Denmark. She was thus sister to King Charles I and cousin to King Frederick III of Denmark. With the demise of the Stuart dynasty in 1714, her direct descendants, the Hanoverian rulers, succeeded to the British throne.
Elizabeth was born at Falkland Palace, Fife.[1] At the time of her birth, her father was still the King of Scots only. She was named in honor of the Queen of England, in an attempt by her father to flatter the old queen, whose kingdom he hoped to inherit. During her early life in Scotland, Elizabeth's governess was the Countess of Kildare.[1] When Elizabeth was six years old, in 1603, Elizabeth I of England died and James succeeded to the thrones of England and Ireland. When she came to England, she was consigned to the care of Lord Harington, with whom she spent the years of her happy childhood at Combe Abbey in Warwickshire.
Part of the intent of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was to kidnap the nine-year-old Elizabeth and put her onto the throne of England (and, presumably, Scotland) as a Catholic monarch, after assassinating her father and the Protestant English aristocracy.
Among Elizabeth's suitors was King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, but she was eventually betrothed to the Elector Palatine in 1612.
On 14 February 1613, she married Frederick V, then Elector of the Palatinate in Germany, and took up her place in the court at Heidelberg. Frederick was the leader of the association of Protestant princes in the Holy Roman Empire known as the Evangelical Union, and Elizabeth was married to him in an effort to increase James's ties to these princes. In 1619, Frederick was offered and accepted the crown of Bohemia. Elizabeth was crowned Queen of Bohemia on 7 November 1619, three days after her husband was crowned King of Bohemia.[2] Frederick's rule was extremely brief, and thus Elizabeth became known as the "Winter Queen." She was also sometimes called "Queen of Hearts" because of her popularity.
Driven into exile, the couple took up residence in The Hague, and Frederick died in 1632. Elizabeth remained in Holland even after her son, Charles I Louis, regained his father's electorship in 1648. Following the Restoration of the English and Scottish monarchies, she travelled to London to visit her nephew, Charles II, and died while there.
Elizabeth's youngest daughter, Sophia of Hanover, had in 1658 married the future Elector of Hanover. The Electress Sophia became the nearest Protestant relative to the English, Scottish and Irish crowns (later British crown). Under the English Act of Settlement, the succession was settled on Sophia and her issue, so that all monarchs of Great Britain from George I are descendants of Elizabeth.
The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was introduced in 1954 as a two-seat, closed sports car with distinctive gull-wing doors. Later it was offered as an open roadster. It was the fastest production car of its day.
Built by Daimler-Benz AG and internally numbered W198, the fuel-injected road version was based (somewhat loosely) on the company's highly successful competition-only sports car of 1952, the somewhat less powerful carbureted Mercedes-Benz 300SL (W194).
The road model was suggested by Max Hoffman. Being intended for customers in the booming post-war American market it was introduced at the 1954 New York Auto Show, unlike previous models introduced at either the Frankfurt or Geneva shows. In Mercedes-Benz fashion, the "300" referred to the engine's three litre cylinder displacement. The "SL" stood for "Sport Leicht" (Sport Light).
The 300SL was best known for both its distinctive gull wing doors and being the first-ever four-stroke car equipped with a Gasoline direct injection. The gull wing version was available from March 1955 to 1957. Production of the roadster ended in 1963 with the introduction of the 230SL.
New York Mercedes distributor Max Hoffman, Daimler-Benz's official importer in the USA, suggested to DBAG management in Stuttgart that a street version of the 300SL would be a commercial success, especially in America.
The racing W194 300SL was built around a tubular chassis to offset its relatively underpowered carbureted engine. Designed by DBAG's chief developing engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the metal skeleton saved weight while still providing a high level of strength. Its unique architecture gave birth to the model's distinctive gull wing doors, as part of the chassis passed through what would be the lower half of a standard door. Even with the upward opening doors, the 300SL had an unusually high sill, making entry and exit from the car's cockpit problematic. A steering wheel with a tilt-away column was added to improve driver access.
The 300SL's body was mainly steel, except for the aluminum hood, doors and trunk lid. It could also be ordered with an all-aluminium outer skin at tremendous added cost, saving 80 kg (176 lb).
More than 80% of the vehicle's total production of approximately 1400 units were sold in the US, making the Gull wing the first Mercedes-Benz which sold in bulk outside its home market and confirming the validity of Hoffman's suggestion. The 300SL is credited for changing the company's image in America from a manufacturer of solid, but staid, automobiles to that of a producer of sporty cars.
The 300SL's engine, canted at a fifty-degree angle to the left to allow for a lower hoodline, was the same 3.0 litre straight-6 as the regular four-door 300. Fitted with a Bosch mechanical Gasoline direct injection system it had almost double the power of the original 86 kW (115 hp) carbureted version.
While not the first fuel-injected car - Mercedes engineers who had developed the principle for the DB 601 fighter aircraft engine had used fuel injection in the tiny 2-stroke Gutbrod they had designed after the War - it was the first to inject fuel directly into the cylinders. This innovation allowed a top speed of up to 260 km/h (161 mph) depending on gear ratio and drag, making the 300SL the fastest production car of its time.
The engine's maintenance requirements were high. Unlike the current electrically-powered fuel injection systems, the mechanical fuel pump would continue to inject gasoline into the engine during the interval between shutting off the ignition and the engine's coming to a stop; this gasoline was of course not burned, and washed the oil from the cylinder walls and ended up diluting the engine's lubricating oil, particularly if the engine was not driven hard enough nor long enough to reach a temperature high enough to evaporate it out of the oil.
Exacerbating the problem were the large oil cooler as well as the large volume of oil (10 liters), both oriented more to racing than to street driving, which virtually guaranteed that the oil would not reach a high enough temperature. In practice, many street drivers would block off airflow through the oil cooler, and the recommended oil change interval was 1,000 miles (1,600 km). Operation of the clutch was initially very heavy, later roadsters having an improved clutch arm helper spring which reduced the pedal force. From March 1963 to the end of production, a light alloy crankcase was used on a total of 209 vehicles.[2]
Aerodynamics played an important role in the car's speed, Mercedes-Benz engineers even placing horizontal "eyebrows" over the wheel openings to reduce drag. Unlike many cars of the 1950s, the steering was relatively precise and the four-wheel independent suspension allowed for a reasonably comfortable ride and markedly better overall handling. However, the rear swing axle, jointed only at the differential, not at the wheels themselves, could be treacherous at high speeds or on imperfect roads due to extreme changes in camber.
In 1952, the original 300SL (model Mercedes-Benz W194) [3] scored overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in Bern-Bremgarten, in the sportscar race of the Eifelrennen at the Nürburgring, and in Mexico's Carrera Panamericana. It also managed second and fourth places at its first outing, the Mille Miglia in 1952.
These successes, especially those on the high speed open road races, were rather surprising as the engine then was fitted only with carburetors, producing 175 hp (130 kW), which was not only less than the competing cars by Ferrari and Jaguar, but also less than the road car of 1954. Low weight and low aerodynamic drag made the 300SL fast enough to be competitive in endurance races.

This oak offers shelter and safety, being a source of livelihood for small birds and rodents. With the wind and rain, they are the final responsible for the falling of its leaves. Nevertherless, the leaves of this oak try to stay in the tree as much as possible, even when they are completely brown and dry.
Sunset into early twilight offers the best balance between the very bright station lights and an evening sky, with some traffic light trails for added interest; but to get them all together I ended up taking 120 exposures over 46 minutes. First the post sunset but still sunlit clouds at top were captured with just a regular polarizer, at that time most of the station lights were still off. Then some long exposures of the sunset sky were done using neutral density filters and the polarizer. As the station lights came on the neutral density filter was substituted with a Gold-N-Blue polarizer to add/keep some color in the then darkening sky (most visible in the upper right third of the image above); in between which a number of exposures were made of passing vehicles to capture some light trails. From those 6 light trail exposures were selected and combined using lighten layer mode, to which 2 earlier exposures of the sky - one short and one long exposure - were blended together with the sky and light trail images using layer modes and masks yielding the sunset with station light image I came hoping to capture. The 8 exposures used spanned 13 minutes of the sunset; most of the other exposures taken were of various vehicle light trails that were ultimately not used… see tags for additional details. Really looking forward to when the Orange Line opens next month and there'll be some bus and light rail cross traffic light trails to capture and play with, on some future evening with a great sunset/twilight sky again.

This dramatic image from January 2006 offers a peek inside a cavern of roiling dust and gas where thousands of stars are forming. The image, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, represents the sharpest view ever taken of this region until this time, called the Orion Nebula. More than 3,000 stars of various sizes appear in this image. Some of them have never been seen in visible light. These stars reside in a dramatic dust-and-gas landscape of plateaus, mountains, and valleys that are reminiscent of the Grand Canyon.
The Orion Nebula is a picture book of star formation, from the massive, young stars that are shaping the nebula to the pillars of dense gas that may be the homes of budding stars. The bright central region is the home of the four heftiest stars in the nebula. The stars are called the Trapezium because they are arranged in a trapezoid pattern. Ultraviolet light unleashed by these stars is carving a cavity in the nebula and disrupting the growth of hundreds of smaller stars. Located near the Trapezium stars are stars still young enough to have disks of material encircling them. These disks are called protoplanetary disks or "proplyds" and are too small to see clearly in this image. The disks are the building blocks of solar systems.

The La Silla Residence offers some pretty spectacular views of the night skies, a metaphorical billion star motel. Above the residence the various observatories of La Silla dot the hill, culminating with the NTT and 3.6 meter telescope sitting atop the rest. I'm still blown away by the ridiculous airglow that dominates the southern hemisphere sky, every night we were in Chile it seemed I was getting some ridiculous airglow in my images. It almost appears as clouds in this shot, you can barely make out the Small Magellanic Cloud above the horizon. It's an incredible experience looking at the night skies from here, bucket list item checked off!
24 exposures went into this image, all taken with a Nikon Z7 and Sigma Art 35mm on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Mini tracking mount. All exposures were 2 minutes at ISO 800 and f2.8, tough tracking the sky when the core is directly overhead!

In front of a toy store a man was crying looking at a doll he couldn't afford.
An old man was passing by and asked him:
Why are you crying?
The sobbing man replied:
What a bitch of my life I don't have money to offer a doll to my beautiful daughter!
The old man pulled and a book handed him telling him!
Offer him this BOOK.
The man looked at the BOOK and replied:
But the book has nothing written!
Go and Offer it to your Girl.
The girl opened the book, flipped through it, one with a happy laugh said father:
What a beautiful gift, my dear father, it was the best gift you could give, this BOOK OF STORY.
The father nodded.
A very old lady still has it, open to the story she likes the most:
The story of the night an old magician gave a book to a man who was crying because he couldn't give his daughter a gift.
If you offer it, give it to Love!!!

Life sometimes offers small miracles in the most unexpected moments. When I came across that tiny kitten crying helplessly on the street, I felt that I could not only give it a home but also love and compassion. For three days, it was a guest in my home; the sound of its little paws, its playful demeanor, and the innocence in its eyes warmed my heart. When I found it a loving home, I felt a bittersweet happiness. Perhaps our paths have parted, but the memory of touching that little heart will stay with me forever.

There's a strength in womanhood that I find so interesting. It's tough and resilient hiding in the eyes of nearly every woman I know. The world isn't always kind to us but we flow, adapt, and grow stronger with each day.
It was International Women's Day yesterday and while in so many ways the battle for equality continues, let's celebrate the beauty in our collective sisterhood. If the women's march showed anything it's our strength in solidarity and what a beautiful thing that can be. Sending all you ladies love wherever you are! ❤

The Sun continues to offer its daily show through its various active regions. This image is far from being a good solar image, however it allows us to appreciate the distribution of sunspots that can be seen in recent days. Although solar activity has been considered at low levels, here you can see eleven groups of spots that vary in classification and size. The active regions have numbers of spots ranging from two to a maximum of twenty, while in size, the largest is the active region 3690 towards the top of this photograph which reaches around 320 millionths of a solar hemisphere and a size 10 in the smallest ones.

A steady flow of cars stream by on the Harbor/Pasadena Freeway, downtown Los Angeles, California. In a way this reminded me of the looming, glowing towers along the wide Chicago River back in my home region... but in Los Angeles, automobiles are the lifeblood of the region, and the freeways are the city's veins.

The best I can offer for a large-size version:
There are usually two different tours offered by the ice cave tour operators: an approximately three-hour tour that takes you to an ice cave for a tour of the ice cave and a five- to six-hour tour of a remote ice cave. This latter tour is connected with an approximately one-hour hike across the glacier. Since this "fatigue" deters many tourists, the cave is also less crowded. This, in turn, is the reason why I usually choose the longer tour. However, this year my plan did not work out: in the Breiðamerkurjökull east of the Jökulsárlón, there were no further ice caves available, so that all tours had the so-called "Crystal Cave" as their destination. Accordingly, the number of visitors was a bit higher and it was not possible to photograph the cave completely without people. However, the people do not even bad as a scale...
