Terlingua is a small town outside the western edge of Big Bend National Park in Far West Texas, not far from the border with Mexico. I spent a couple of hours in Terlingua at the auto shop getting my tire patched from the u-shaped hook I had picked up in Big Bend. I knew this since the guy at the tire shop showed it to me. I had already spent a couple of days limping through the vast park.
Far West Texas is vast and remote. This is somewhere near Terlingua on the road north, beginning the long portion of my trip back home, or at least in that direction. I still had a few more days to go before driving home. All is well with a repaired tire and a cooler of drinks and food to carry me through.

skateboarding used to be a huge part of my life for nearly 15 years growing up. It's always great to hop back on and roll around. This is my good friend Pat Schaefer. If you're into skateboarding you'll be hearing his name soon. He is phenomenal. Photo: Lou T
She calls you in doesn't she? Its so inviting to continue, but the treacherous water has other plans.
This image is a panorama in hopes of keeping a high level of detail for printing large, and to simply capture the depth of the Gorge. The tripod was on logs that were moving (just a little, but that's all it takes), and in the rain. Still, I hope this one will print well.
One last funny tidbit. While out there we spotted something moving in the foliage on the side of the cliff. It was a spotted skunk! How the heck did he get there? Even more interesting he scrambled his way to the water and with a little hesitation he jumped in! I had no idea skunks could swim. We started quickly forming a plan to help him but he needed no help, he was confidently navigating the waters to the other side. Meanwhile I was trying had to unpack my gear, put on the big zoom and get a shot. I did mange to get a decent one of him on the other side, soaked and looking more like a ferret than a skunk at that point. He actually posed for me. He was scrambling and then stopped, turned his head to look at us, waited is if he was giving me the one shot I wanted, and then under some plants and gone. I loved the moment and was glad to get a shot, but I paid the price. My bag and gear did not fare so well, in the scramble the inside of my bag got wet and so did all the equipment. Some of my lenses are not weather sealed. So we had a dry out party at the house that night. All was fine.
I know people say this all the time, but you should view this on black. :)

I’m back visiting family in my hometown of Forster for my grandmothers 90th birthday and took the opportunity of a rainless morning to get outside for a shoot before this weekends forecasted big wet.
I grasped the artistry of photography many years ago by committing to countless mornings standing on rocks with rushing water around me and it's been with me since.
Today, with many more shots behind me, I still regard seascapes as one of the most challenging yet rewarding breeds of photographic expression. With so many variables at play at any one time seascapes demand careful attention and are immensely enjoyable.
It’s been a while since I’ve been out for a seascape so climbing around the rocks on Burgess Beach at Forster in the dark this morning was a good change and brought back some nice memories of times I've spent here before. A lot has changed since then and I think I'm slowly accepting that.
Shot with the new Nikon D810 and a Carl Zeiss 15mm Distagon T* with a B+W circular polariser.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!

This is an early morning shot. 20sec exposure give this special look. The graveyard dates back to 1791 and lies very close to the sea. The old church was torn by the Germans during WWII. The chapel was build in 1951.
Je viens de sortir de la Clinique Jules Verne.

Le bâtiment qui abrite le Musée de l’électricité présente l’évolution des énergies au fil du temps. En outre, ses locaux accueillent un centre culturel fondé sur le concept d’un Musée des Sciences et de Archéologie industrielle, où les expositions thématiques et expérimentales côtoient les manifestations culturelles et événementielles, voire entrepreneuriales, de tout ordre. Il se situe dans l’arrondissement de Belém sur des terrains que la ville a conquis au Tage à la fin du XIXe, un quartier touristique qui regroupe certains des plus importants monuments historiques de Lisbonne.
C’est en 1990 que le Musée de l’électricité y a vu le jour. Dix ans plus tard, les bâtiments et les équipements qui l’intègrent ont été soumis à de nouveaux aménagements. Si bien qu’il a rouvert ses portes au public en 2006, non seulement restauré mais proposant aussi une nouvelle approche et d’autres offres muséologiques. Une exposition permanente explique le fonctionnement de cette ancienne centrale à travers les appareils originaux qui la faisait tourner, ainsi que le cadre de travail au sein de cette unité de production électrique. Des expositions temporaires (peinture, sculpture, photo, etc.) et des espaces didactiques, y compris ludiques, misent sur la question des énergies où interviennent des jeux pédagogiques, les présentations d’énergie solaire à l’extérieur, les pièces de théâtre, les concerts, les conférences, etc.
Le Musée de l’électricité appartient aux biens et à la structure de la Fundação EDP, fondation qui intègre le groupe EDP - Energias de Portugal, SA.
Oyceros birostris
a common hornbill on the Indian subcontinent. It is mostly arboreal and is commonly sighted in pairs. They have grey feathers all over the body with a light grey or dull white belly. The horn is black or dark grey with a casque extending up to the point of curvature in the horn.
Indian Grey Hornbills usually form their nest in tree holes. A peculiar characteristic of this bird is that the female stays inside the nest and the male seals the nest hole leaving only a small hole for feeding the female. In this way they safeguard the eggs and hatchlings. While inside the nest, the female will pluck out all her feathers and throw them outside the nest so that it can maintain the required space along with the growing chicks. The regrowth of the feathers in the female coincides with the maturity of the chicks at which point the nest is broken open.
These birds usually feeds on fruits including a variety of figs (Ficus spp.) and occasionally on small insects, lizards, small snakes etc.

Happy Thursday everyone. Here's a bit of serenity to help you get through the rest of the week.
This was taken with my macro lens, hand held. Two tiny seeds from the head of a dandelion were clinging to a table outside, so I sprayed them with my water bottle to get the droplets in the middle. Hope you like it :-)
A happy and healthy New Year to all my flickr friends and contacts ! May most of your wishes came true.

By the time the rite was over Carter knew that he was in no region whose place could be told by earth’s geographers, and in no age whose date history could fix. For the nature of what was happening was not wholly unfamiliar to him. There were hints of it in the cryptical Pnakotic fragments, and a whole chapter in the forbidden Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred had taken on significance when he had deciphered the designs graven on the Silver Key. A gate had been unlocked—not indeed the Ultimate Gate, but one leading from earth and time to that extension of earth which is outside time, and from which in turn the Ultimate Gate leads fearsomely and perilously to the Last Void which is outside all earths, all universes, and all matter.
There would be a Guide—and a very terrible one; a Guide who had been an entity of earth millions of years before, when man was undreamed of, and when forgotten shapes moved on a steaming planet building strange cities among whose last, crumbling ruins the earliest mammals were to play. Carter remembered what the monstrous Necronomicon had vaguely and disconcertingly adumbrated concerning that Guide.
“And while there are those,” the mad Arab had written, “who have dared to seek glimpses beyond the Veil, and to accept HIM as a Guide, they would have been more prudent had they avoided commerce with HIM; for it is written in the Book of Thoth how terrific is the price of a single glimpse. Nor may those who pass ever return, for in the Vastnesses transcending our world are Shapes of darkness that seize and bind. The Affair that shambleth about in the night, the Evil that defieth the Elder Sign, the Herd that stand watch at the secret portal each tomb is known to have, and that thrive on that which groweth out of the tenants within—all these Blacknesses are lesser than HE Who guardeth the Gateway; HE Who will guide the rash one beyond all the worlds into the Abyss of unnamable Devourers. For HE is’UMR AT-TAWIL, the Most Ancient One, which the scribe rendereth as THE PROLONGED OF LIFE.”

A distant view of British Columbia's Muncho Lake. Even though it was the first of September the fall foliage was popping nicely.
Its name is derived from the Kaska language in which "muncho" translates as "big water." Not what the name may infer these days......;-) Thanks Snow for the inquiry.
Enjoy a wonderful Friday!
Top left Shrewsbury School was founded by Edward VI in 1552 following the dissolution of two ecclesiastical colleges in the town. In its original incarnation the school was sited not outside the loop of the River Severn as it is today, but within its boundary, where it occupied a number of black and white houses.
In marked contrast to this prosperity Shrewsbury’s fortunes were reversed during the civil war period and eighteenth century, with a decrease in pupil numbers. It was not until 1798 and the accession of headmaster Samuel Butler that Shrewsbury’s fortunes were revived. Butler, a renowned classical scholar, founded the classical reputation of the school; although this did not suit a certain pupil named Charles Darwin,
Development of the school site continued throughout the twentieth-century with a boathouse, new library and series of boarding houses amongst the many additions.
The first Pengwern Boathouse was jointly rented with Shrewsbury School on the site of the present school boathouse. The name Pengwern was chosen as a Shrewsbury Rowing Club then existed, but was short-lived, being last recorded in 1876.
The present site of Pengwern's clubhouse was purchased in 1880. The following year a new 3-storey "half-timbered" clubhouse was completed, still the centre part of the existing building, generally accepted as being virtually unrivalled architecturally, and having a superb position opposite the Quarry Park the site of the famous Shrewsbury Flower Show.

It was essentially a high screen wall built so the women of the royal household could observe street festivities while unseen from the outside.
This is Jaipur's ( the pink city ) most famous landmark and a topmost tourist attraction .
A dusting of snow covers Yosemite Valley during an early-season storm, taken last week. Several familiar landmarks are visible, from different angles. This is a 19-image panorama grid encompassing more than an 180-degree field of view.
In my mind, landscape photography goes hand-in-hand with exploring and enjoying nature -- not with checking boxes off a list, or collecting stamps that other people create. I urge you to get outside and experience our amazing planet, without a specific photo or experience in mind, and I can all but promise you will come home with an incredible experience and unique photo.

instruction, prints, private guiding, and all that jazz:
I played with this way to long, and now I'm not sure I even like it anymore..;) I finally got in to see the doctor about my toe and he said what everyone said about just buddy tape. I told him that's what everybody said..:) He just laughed..;) I picked up my new hearing aids while I was there. I damaged my ears with canon fire. No one ever said anything about earplugs when I was in the military. It takes longer than I would have thought to get use to them.
