The wild horses of the Outer Banks, known as Banker horses, are a breed of feral horse living on the barrier islands of North Carolina. They are descendants of domesticated Spanish horses brought to the Americas in the 16th century. These horses are recognized as North Carolina's state horse.

As perfectly circular as it is redundant, this crater-like artificial island was built in the 1970's to test the feasibility of an ultimately unfeasible engineering project. Because of the concentric pond at its center, the locals dubbed it “the Doughnut.”

Wat Ratchaburana was built by King Borom Ratchathirat II at the place where both his brothers died (they killed each other) during a fight for the vacant throne of Ayutthaya. After both his brother had died, King Borom Ratchathirat II became the King. As such, Wat Ratchaburana was built during the early Ayutthaya period. The prang was the centerpiece at the temple compound.
The vault of Wat Ratchaburana became known to the public some decades ago, and looters broke into the vault in 1957. The looters were apprehended, but a lot of the stolen goods were never recovered. Later on more than 100,000 votive Buddhist tablets were found, as well as gold jewelry with a combined weight of more than 100 kilograms.
The vaults inside the main prang also displayed mural paintings, depicting the previous lives of the Buddha. Unfortunately, over the last few years these images have deteriorated a lot. Only very few visible images are left.
Macro Mondays: Outer Space
ET seems to have landed on a strange, hostile planet. Fortunately, he has his faithful plush lion to comfort him.
This cute little alien is 6,5 cm tall.
While doing a bit of night photography I decided to push the D3s a bit. Normally when taking Milky Way shots I use 6400 ISO. This image was taken at ISO 12800 for 30 sec. to gather as much light as possible. I did need to use a bit of noise reduction but there was considerably more detail in the sky than the similar image taken at ISO 6400 (see inside). Both images were taken for 30 sec. at f2.8.
Next stop ISO 102,400 but I'm afraid I will blow out the Milky Way! ;-)

The Outer Banks, NC
The Outer Hebrides - also known as the Western Isles - stretch for 130 miles and look out on their western side to the Atlantic Ocean.
Here on the edge of Europe is a striking mix of landscapes from windswept golden sands to harsh, heather-backed mountains and peat bogs. An elemental beauty pervades each of the more than two hundred islands that make up the archipelago, only a handful of which are actually inhabited.
Lewis and Harris form the northernmost island in the Hebrides. Though actually part of the same land mass, they are thought of as different islands and each has its own distinctive culture, traditions and heritage. Lewis in the north is the largest island in the group and its main town of Stornoway is a busy centre of island life, its natural harbour a thriving fishing port.
Harris is home to the world-famous Harris Tweed, which has to be made on these islands if it carries the name. Across a narrow isthmus from the more mountainous North Harris lies South Harris, presenting some of the finest scenery in Scotland, with wide beaches of golden sand trimming the Atlantic in full view of the mountains and a rough boulder-strewn interior lying to the east.
Further south still sit a string of tiny, flatter islands including North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra. Here breezy beaches whose fine sands front a narrow band of boggy farmland are mostly bordered by a lower range of hills to the east. Uniquely, one of the beaches on Barra also doubles as a landing strip for the scheduled flights from the mainland!
The Hebrides remain the heartland of Gaelic culture, with the language spoken by the vast majority of islanders, though its everyday usage remains under constant threat from the national dominance of English. Its survival is, in no small part, due to the influence of the Free Church and its offshoots, whose strict Calvinism is the creed of the vast majority of the population, with the sparsely populated South Uist, Barra and parts of Benbecula adhering to the more relaxed demands of Catholicism.
The natural environment of the Hebrides make it ideal for walking and cycling of all standards while the superb Atlantic beaches draw surfers from around the globe. Fishing for salmon and trout, as well as sea angling, is also highly popular and of the highest quality. The clear, pollution-free Hebridean waters, also produce some of the best seafood in the UK.
Lying offshore into the Atlantic, the remarkable deserted Island of St Kilda, a World Heritage Site, is a major attraction which can only be reached by day boat or live-aboard cruise vessel, subject to weather conditions and the permission of its owners, the National Trust for Scotland.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I saw this girl engrossed in her mobile phone and noticed the two rings around her eyes showing some degree of tiredness - it just totally fit with the 'inner circle/outer circle' sign for the subway. I triggered the shutter just as she looked up from her phone at close range, enjoy full screen detail by pressing 'L' or clicking the image.
The brightness of the total eclipse varies over 5 orders of magnitude, from bright, hot pink solar prominences to the outer corona. This is a 1-second exposure designed for the latter, but you can still see the former at the bottom edge.
We reserved a room in Plattsburgh, NY about a year ago (Vermont was already fully booked, but Plattsburgh had plenty of rooms and no bump in prices yet). The morning of the eclipse dawned clear, but clouds were predicted to gather by afternoon, so we chased blue skies about 3 hours northeast to the southern outskirts of Sherbrooke, QC and had perfect weather. (Fortunately, I had insisted to my husband that we bring passports.) The Canadian customs website said there was a 40-minute wait at the entry station on the freeway, so we nipped over to the side road a few miles east and had the port of entry all to ourselves.
The total eclipse was … hard to describe, but all it’s cracked up to be — a striking spectacle. The inner corona was much brighter than I expected, blazing to the naked eye in sharp contrast to the suddenly black sun within.
