Not the ideal time of day for waterfalls the sun to high in the sky but it is my only day off work this week - the gardening or................A last minute trek with Rob :-) no contest - but its a tough trek and it hurt :-) i will get here one day before the sun rises .Its my favourite of all the waterfalls and not really happy with any of the shots ive got .

This waterfall is the least visited for a reason its a hard climb down and even tougher to get back up :-( its not dangerous like Sgwd isaf clun gwyn it just steep and the steps are a killer .

 

one or two obstacles to climb through , not the best time to go waterfalls for photography but this is one of my fav's a tough trek that hurt.

 

This is the least visited waterfall not many actually are aware is there .

Over the Rainbow on Black (much better and easier to see)

 

I decided to make my first post back one of my favorites from our recent trip to Brazil. Iguazu Falls was a true highlight of the trip. I have many shots from the Falls to process, and no matter how many I post, they won't do this place justice. The vastness of this location, with the 275+ falls ranging from small streams to true mammoths, is just amazing.

 

I had never witnessed a Lunar Rainbow (Moonbow) before. While it was a little faint to the eye, you could still make it out pretty clearly, and the 30 second exposure helped to bring it out that much more. I decided not to over-process the shot and brighten and saturate things beyond the true scene. I'm not sure there was ever much risk, but I did enjoy the part about having to keep an eye out for jaguars when walking around the park at night.

 

I look forward to going through the numerous memory cards' worth of shots. We saw a lot of great sites in Brazil, but as is always the case, it's good to be back home. This was another trip that makes one reflect on how lucky we are here in the U.S.

 

I look forward to catching up with everyone's streams.

LARGE IS A MUST

 

My last shot is ending up to be the most popular in my short time here on Flickr, so yesterday afternoon I ventured out to the same spot in Brisbane’s bayside in search of some cloudy reflections .

 

Nature unfortunately didn’t play the game, and not a single puffy cloud was in sight :<

The sun had just set and I turned around to see this beautiful layer of colors in the sky and the moon begging for some attention!!!

 

This spot was given to me by Kane, check out his stream, it’s impressive!

La Aljafería (en árabe: قصر الجعفرية Qasr al-Ya`fariyya) es un palacio fortificado construido en Zaragoza en la segunda mitad del siglo XI por iniciativa de Al-Muqtadir como residencia de los reyes hudíes de Saraqusta. Este palacio de recreo (llamado entonces «Qasr al-Surur» o Palacio de la Alegría) refleja el esplendor alcanzado por el reino taifa en el periodo de su máximo apogeo político y cultural.

 

Su importancia radica en que es el único testimonio conservado de un gran edificio de la arquitectura islámica hispana de la época de las Taifas. De modo que, si se conserva un magnífico ejemplo del Califato de Córdoba, su Mezquita (s. X), y otro del canto de cisne de la cultura islámica en Al-Ándalus, del s. XIV, La Alhambra de Granada, se debe incluir en la tríada de la arquitectura hispano-musulmana La Aljafería de Zaragoza (s. XI) como muestra de las realizaciones del arte taifa, época intermedia de reinos independientes anterior a la llegada de los almorávides.

 

Las soluciones adoptadas en la ornamentación de la Aljafería, como la utilización de arcos mixtilíneos y de los salmeres en «S», la extensión del ataurique calado en grandes superficies o la esquematización y abstracción progresiva de las yeserías de carácter vegetal, influyeron decisivamente en el arte almorávide y almohade tanto del Magreb como de la Península Ibérica. Asimismo, la transición de la decoración hacia motivos más geométricos está en la base del arte nazarí.

 

Tras la reconquista de Zaragoza en 1118 por Alfonso I El Batallador pasó a ser residencia de los reyes cristianos de Aragón, con lo que la Aljafería se convirtió en el principal foco difusor del mudéjar aragonés. Fue utilizada como residencia regia por Pedro IV el Ceremonioso y posteriormente, en la planta principal, se llevó a cabo la reforma que convirtió estas estancias en palacio de los Reyes Católicos en 1492. En 1593 experimentó otra reforma que la convertiría en fortaleza militar, primero según diseños renacentistas (que hoy se pueden observar en su entorno, foso y jardines) y más tarde como acuartelamiento de regimientos militares. Sufrió reformas continuas, y grandes desperfectos, sobre todo con los Sitios de Zaragoza de la Guerra de la Independencia hasta que finalmente fue restaurada en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y actualmente acoge las Cortes de Aragón.

 

En su origen la construcción se hizo extramuros de la muralla romana, en el llano de la saría o lugar donde los musulmanes desarrollaban los alardes militares conocido como La Almozara. Con la expansión urbana a través de los años, el edificio ha quedado dentro de la ciudad. Se ha podido respetar a su alrededor un pequeño entorno ajardinado que le aísla incluso de la autopista que pasa a escasos metros de allí.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Aljafería Palace (Arabic:قصر الجعفرية Qasr Aljafariya, Spanish: Palacio de la Aljafería) is a fortified medieval Islamic palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Moorish taifa of Zaragoza of Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir after abolishing Banu Tujibi of Kindah dynasty. the palace reflects the splendor attained by the kingdom of the taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. The palace currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon.

 

The structure holds unique importance in that it is the only conserved testimony of a large building of Spanish Islamic architecture of the era of the Taifas (independent kingdoms).

 

After the capture of Zaragoza in 1118 by Alfonso I of Aragon, the Aljaferia became the residence of the Christian kings of the Kingdom of Aragon and as such was converted into the focal point for spread of the Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon. It was the birthplace of Saint Isabel of Portugal in the year 1271. It was used as the royal residence by Peter IV of Aragon and subsequently, on the principal building site, a renovation was carried out that converted these chambers into the palace of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. In 1593, the structure experienced another renovation that converted it into a military base, first according to Renaissance designs (which today can be observed in its moat and gardens) and later as military quarters. The building suffered continuous alterations and considerable imperfections, above all with the Siege of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War until it was finally restored in the second half of the 20th century and currently it houses the Cortes or autonomous community legislative assembly of Aragon.

 

In the original construction, extra ramparts were made in the open field surrounding the Aljaferia. With urban expansion over the years, the building has remained inside of the city. Yet the city of Zaragoza has not been able to honor the landscaped surroundings of the Aljaferia. A freeway passes only a few meters away.

Wall

Lasiommata megera (LASS-ee-oh-may-tuh muh-JEE-ruh)

 

Wingspan

45 - 53mm

 

Checklist Number

59.002

 

Family:NymphalidaeRafinesque, 1815

 

Subfamily:SatyrinaeBoisduval, 1833

 

Tribe:ElymniiniHerrich-Schäffer, 1864

 

Genus:LasiommataWestwood, 1841

 

Subgenus:

 

Species:megera(Linnaeus, 1767)

  

Introduction

 

The Wall gets its name from the characteristic behaviour of resting with wings two-thirds open on any bare surface, including bare ground and, of course, walls! Many people will have come across this butterfly on footpaths, especially in coastal areas, where the butterfly flies up when disturbed, before setting again a few metres ahead.

The basking behaviour of this butterfly allows it to benefit from the full warmth of the sun whose rays shine directly on the butterfly, but also get reflected back onto the butterfly from whichever surface it is resting on. This habit allows the butterfly to raise its body temperature sufficiently high for it to fly. In particularly hot weather, however, such basking is avoided and the butterfly may even retreat to a suitably-shaded spot to avoid overheating.

This species was once found throughout England, Wales, Ireland and parts of Scotland. Today, however, is a very different picture, with this species suffering severe declines over the last several decades. It is now confined to primarily-coastal regions and has been lost from many sites in central, eastern and south-east England. In Scotland it is confined to coastal areas in the south-west of the country. It is also found on the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. This butterfly is found in relatively small colonies that are self-contained although some individuals will wander, allowing the species to quickly colonise suitable nearby sites.

  

Taxonomy Notes

 

Ball (1914) uses the name f. filipluma to describe specimens of the summer generation, differentiated by their scale formation.

Verity (1911a) uses the name ssp. caledonia to describe the race from Scotland which, he says, differ in the width and intensity of the black markings and very broad marginal band. The base of the hindwing being entirely blackened.

 

Lasiommata megera

This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1767) as shown here (type locality: Austria and Denmark).

  

Conservation Status

 

There has been a severe and worrying decline of inland populations, with most remaining populations now being found in coastal areas. This species is therefore a priority for conservation efforts.

  

Habitat

 

This species is now found primarily in coastal areas, especially unimproved grassland, wasteland, cliff edges and hedgerows.

  

The first generation of adults emerge in early May, peaking at the end of May and early June, or a little later in the north of England and Scotland. They give rise to a second brood that emerges at the end of July, or mid-August further north. There are 2 generations each year and, on occasion, a small 3rd generation may appear in October.

  

Imago

 

The male of this species is territorial and will inhabit a particular area, such as a path, hedgerow or roadside verge, waiting for a passing female. Males will typically perch in a favoured position but will, in sunny and warm conditions, adopt a strategy of patrolling in order to find a mate. All passing insects are investigated and rival males will fly high into the air before coming back to the ground a few seconds later.

The female is much more sedentary and the less-conspicuous of the two sexes. After a brief courtship a pair will mate before disappearing into surrounding vegetation. Both sexes are avid nectar feeders and will feed from any available flower.

Adults feed primarily on Daisy (Bellis perennis), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hawkweeds (Hieracium/Hypochoeris), Knapweeds (Centaurea spp.), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Ragged Robin (Lychnis flos-cuculi), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.), Water Mint (Mentha aquatica) and Yarrow (Achillea millefolium).

  

Ovum

 

The spherical eggs are laid singly, or occasionally in twos and threes, in various positions, including the leaves of the foodplant, exposed roots and nearby vegetation. Eggs are pale green when first laid, becoming more translucent as the larva develops within. Sites for egg-laying are typically sheltered and warm compared to their surroundings, and include grass clumps, rabbit scrapes and hoof prints from cattle. This stage lasts around 10 days.

 

Larva

 

After emerging, the young larva typically eats its eggshell before feeding on the leaves of the foodplant. Larvae become more mobile as they mature and will move from plant to plant as needed. Larvae typically feed at night, but occasionally feed during the day. This stage lasts around 4 weeks for those larvae that do not overwinter, and there are 3 moults in total.

The primary larval foodplants are Bents (various) (Agrostis spp.), Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum), Wavy Hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa) and Yorkshire-fog (Holcus lanatus).

  

Pupa

 

The green pupa is formed head down, attached by the cremaster to the foodplant or nearby vegetation and is extremely well camouflaged. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

Argynnis aglaja (ar-GIN-iss a-GLY-uh)

  

Family:NymphalidaeRafinesque, 1815

 

Subfamily:HeliconiinaeSwainson, 1827

 

Tribe:ArgynniniSwainson, 1833

 

Genus:ArgynnisFabricius, 1807

 

Subgenus:MesoacidaliaReuss, 1926

 

Species:aglaja(Linnaeus, 1758)

  

The Dark Green Fritillary is the most widespread fritillary found in the British Isles and is a pleasure to see as it flies powerfully over its grassland habitats, frequently stopping to nectar on Thistles and Knapweed. It gets its name from the green hue found on the underside of the hindwings, which are peppered with large silver spots. This butterfly can be found throughout the British Isles, although it is less common in central and eastern England. Outside of central Scotland and southern England, it is most frequently found in coastal areas and is the only fritillary found in Orkney and the Outer Hebrides. Despite its powerful flight, it is somewhat surprising that this species is not particularly mobile, staying within its breeding grounds.

  

Taxonomy Notes

  

Historically, several authorities have referred to f. scotica, defined in Watkins (1923), that is not recognised in current taxonomy. This form differs from the nominate form in that individuals are larger in size have much heavier black markings on both upper and undersides, especially in the female, and the underside has a darker green flush, with more prominent silver spots on both fore and hindwings. Different authorities described different distributions of scotica. Dennis (1977) says "The most extreme development of the morph is found in the Outer Hebrides, especially on Pabbay (Barra group), south Rona, north Raasay and on Orkney. Subspecies scotica has also been described by Heslop-Harrison for Scalpay, Soay, Rhum, Eigg, Canna and Coll, but everywhere in addition to specimens showing extreme development, others transitional to aglaia are found". The most recent analysis is given in Thomson (1980). Riley (2007) suggests that this form is found in Scotland (apart from southern localities), Ireland (where it is the only form found) and the Isle of Man. However, Riley's inclusion of Ireland is questioned by Nash (2012) who assigns all Irish specimens to ssp. aglaja. Thomson (1980), Emmet (1990), Riley (2007) and Nash (2012) elevate the aglaja forms to subspecific status. The counties where scotica was thought to be found, as mentioned by Thomson (1980), are shaded green in the image below.

  

Argynnis aglaja

  

This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758) as shown here (type locality: Sweden).

The nominate form is found throughout its range in the British Isles.

  

Conservation Status

  

Although this species has declined considerably since the 1970s, especially in eastern England, the butterfly remains our most widespread fritillary and is not considered a priority species for conservation efforts.

  

Habitat

  

The characteristic habitat of this butterfly is open, windswept calcareous grassland. However, in some areas it can also be found in woodland clearings and coastal dunes.

  

Life Cycle

  

Adults generally emerge in the middle of June, reaching a peak in early July. In northern Scotland, adults emerge a little later at the end of June, reaching a peak at the end of July and early August. There is one generation each year.

  

Imago

  

Both sexes are avid nectar feeders and typically feed in early morning or late afternoon, when they will constantly fly from flower head to flower head staying at each flower for only a few seconds. This behaviour makes them very difficult to observe and it is sometimes easier to find a favourite flower and wait for a butterfly to come to you!

The males are the more conspicuous of the two sexes, and can be seen patrolling over large areas of habitat looking for a virgin female which often rest low down in vegetation. Once found, mating takes place almost immediately. A mating pair may be found resting on vegetation and will even continue to nectar while coupled.

Females are somewhat-easier to see when egg-laying, where they intersperse periods of nectaring with basking and bouts of egg-laying, when they will crawl deep in vegetation, searching out the lushest growths of larval foodplant before laying a single egg, although several eggs are often laid in the same area.

  

Ovum

 

Eggs are laid either directly on the foodplant, or on a suitable platform nearby, such as a twig, grass stem or dead leaf. Eggs are yellow when first laid but turn a dark purple after a few days and, eventually, a dark grey just before the larva emerges. This stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.

  

Larva

  

The larva eats the eggshell on hatching and immediately enters hibernation in a curled up leaf or other piece of debris. The larva emerges in the spring and starts to feed on the tenderest new growth of the foodplant, either eating large chunks out of the leaf lobes, or eating the leaf entirely with the stem left standing. The larva is most active during sunny periods and can often be seen wandering across bare ground or short turf in search of the foodplant. The mature larva has a distinct colouring, being mostly black with a feint yellow band running down its back and a series of red spots running down each side. There are 5 moults in total.

The primary larval foodplants are Common Dog-violet (Viola riviniana), Hairy Violet (Viola hirta) and Marsh Violet (Viola palustris).

  

Pupa

  

The larva creates a loose tent by drawing together several leaves and other pieces of vegetation together. The pupa is formed upside down, secured to the top of the tent by the cremaster. This stages lasts between 3 and 4 weeks, depending on the weather.

Let's face it. Life is actually like that sometimes. There are times when you really want - you really need - someone to walk with you, and there's no one there. Either they won't or they can't. Sometimes people who care about us would like to walk with us through what we're going through, but they just can't; they don't understand, they don't know how to help, they're too busy with their own issues, or they're just not there for any one of a hundred reasons. Maybe as you're listening today, you're just tired of walking alone.

 

What I'm about to say may sound too good to be true, but I wouldn't offer you false hope. You don't ever have to walk alone again. The reason that is not just a hollow hope is because it doesn't depend on the love of some human who may be there or may not be. It depends on the love of the God who made you - who is always there.

 

Listen to the ironclad promise of Jesus Christ in Hebrews 13:5. It's our word for today from the Word of God. "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." He says never. He's offering you a "never leave you" love. Some of Jesus' last words on earth to those who belong to Him are these: "Surely I am with you always" (Matthew 28:20). After listing every conceivable force on earth, or in heaven, or in hell that might take His love away, Romans 8:39says: "Nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

 

But He loves you so much He wasn't willing to lose you, so He sent Jesus. That's His one and only Son, and He sent Him to die for the sin that separates you from Him. So He could forgive you, so you could live in His love, so you could be in heaven with Him forever. And now that love is working inside your heart, drawing you His direction. This can't be a one-way love. You have to open up to what He died to give you, by telling Him that you're placing the rest of your life in His hands; hands that bear eternal evidence of His love for you. You can tell when you see the print of the nails there.

 

With Jesus in your life, will you ever feel lonely again? Sure you will. There'll be lonely times, but you'll never be alone again. You have His word on it.

La Catedral de Teruel tiene su origen en la iglesia de Santa María de Mediavilla, que comenzó a edificarse en estilo románico en 1171 y se concluyó con la erección de la torre mudéjar en 1257. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIII, el alarife morisco Juzaff, reestructura la antigua obra románica y dota al edificio de tres naves mudéjares de mampostería y ladrillo, que mejoran y elevan la estructura románica del siglo XII.

En el mismo estilo gótico-mudéjar, ya en el siglo XIV se sustituyeron los ábsides románicos por otros, como se puede apreciar en la cabecera de la capilla mayor. Se redujo con ello a la mitad el número de soportes, lo que dio una mayor luminosidad y espaciosidad a las naves de arcos apuntados. También los muros fueron recrecidos. En 1423, ya con el aspecto mudéjar con que, en lo fundamental, conocemos el templo actualmente, el pontífice aragonés Benedicto XIII, el llamado «Papa Luna» la elevó al rango de Colegiata. Ya en estilo plateresco-mudéjar, fue construido en 1538 el cimborrio de la nave central, obra de Martín de Montalbán. Fue edificado de planta octogonal sobre trompas y presenta en su exterior ventanas ajimezadas con decoraciones platerescas. Más tarde, en 1587, con la creación de la diócesis de Teruel, fue promovida a Catedral y consagrada como tal. Por último en 1909 se aborda la edificación de la fachada en estilo neomudéjar, obra de Pablo Monguió.

# Now; some individuals engage transition within physical focus in what appears to be a more dramatic manner, in which they may generate what you would view as unusual experiences. Some generate the experience that you term to be Alzheimer’s dis-ease, which is actually an individual generating transition in a concentrated manner within physical focus, in which the individual is not focusing their attention in merely this one manifestation or this one area of consciousness. Therefore !, to you they appear to be drifting or not present.

 

Einige Personen sind auf eine anscheinend dramatischere Art im physischen Fokus in Transition und machen vielleicht für euch ungewöhnliche Erfahrungen. Einige erfahren etwas, das ihr Alzheimer nennt, als eine ganz konzentrierte Transition im physischen Fokus, in der die Person seine Aufmerksamkeit nicht nur auf diese eine Manifestation oder diesen einen

Bewusstseinsbereich richtet. Deswegen kommt es euch so vor als würde sie keinen Halt haben oder wäre nicht gegenwärtig.

One of the most popular of Yosemite's high country destinations has to be Cathedral Lakes. Easy access, beautiful scenery and tempting peaks make this a popular spot for backpackers, day hikers and climbers. The Lower Cathedral Lake is located at an elevation of 9288' and an easy 3.5 miles from the trailhead located along Tioga Road. The Upper Lake is at an elevation of 9585' and about a half mile past the Lower Lake.

--from www.thebackcountry.org/cathedral/

 

The hike is a fairly easy uphill gradient for a few miles. Getting acclimated to the thin atmosphere was pretty difficult, but I felt I had to do a high-elevation hike in preparation for hiking Half Dome. Another difficult task was crossing a stream blocked by trees and large boulders. I ended up jumping to a small island in the stream and tip-toeing across a fallen tree to get to the Cathedral Lakes' side of the stream.

 

The final challenge was actually finding the lakes, as there is a lot of exposed rock, making trails difficult to find and follow. Eventually I did make it to the lake, and I was tempted to stay for a sunset, but didn't want to risk disorientation of hiking downhill over unambiguous terrain.

Feast:

During the Tourney many feasts are held by nobles for the brave contestants who dare to take part in the Tourney. Show your character feasting upon various strange and exotic dishes in a great hall.

 

I decided to do an outdoor feast in a courtyard of a more Mythronian/roman styled building. for the food, what is more exotic then the Juicy Rainosian mountain pig

This one is really better viewed On black (check the large size) !

This is Fluorite from Dal'negorsk (Дальнегорск), Russia at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.

www.mindat.org/locentries.php?p=2635&m=1576

www.mindat.org/loc-2635.html

A famous mining region centered on the city of Dalnegorsk in eastern Russia, 300 km northeast of Vladivostok. The name "Tetyukhe" or "Tetjuche" (meaning "valley of the wild pigs") is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk and can be encountered on a few old mineral labels.

The Verkhnee deposit was first developed in 1912. Boron mineralization was prospected in 1945.

The region comprises 9 different deposits.

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite

"Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon.

Pure fluorite is colourless and transparent, both in visible and ultraviolet light, but impurities usually make it a colorful mineral and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride for hydrofluoric acid manufacture, which is the intermediate source of most fluorine-containing fine chemicals. Optically clear transparent fluorite has anomalous partial dispersion, that is, its refractive index varies with the wavelength of light in a manner that differs from that of commonly used glasses, so fluorite is useful in making apochromatic lenses, and particularly valuable in photographic optics. Fluorite optics are also usable in the far-ultraviolet and mid-infrared ranges, where conventional glasses are too opaque for use. Fluorite also has low dispersion, and a high refractive index for its density."
