Delicious full frame goodness....
It was a tough decision between this shot and another out-take. Because of the wide aperture, very close composition and full frame camera, the dof is extreme - so much so that the image might be considered oof (the focus point was the filling in the middle of the 1st wrap). But I went with this cos I liked how the dof worked on this image.
I am thankful that I have always had food to eat now as well as when I was growing up. Its a blessing that is too easily forgotten.
With that in mind, if you ever thought you had a terrible childhood, look at these images - however bad it may seem, someone has always has had it worse... and for that we should all be thankful!

Casa de Campo de Madrid (Spain)
La Casa de Campo fue propiedad histórica de la Corona Española y coto de caza de la realeza. Tras la proclamación de la Segunda República, fue cedida por el Estado al pueblo de Madrid (1 de mayo de 1931), estando desde entonces abierta al público.
En su interior se encuentran situadas diversas instalaciones, como el Parque de Atracciones, el Zoológico, el Teleférico (que conecta la Casa de Campo con el Parque del Oeste, al otro lado del río Manzanares), parte de los recintos feriales de IFEMA (Institución Ferial de Madrid), el pabellón multiusos Madrid Arena, la Venta del Batán (lugar tradicional de encierro de los toros en los días previos a su lidia en la Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas) y diferentes instalaciones deportivas populares.

From the first annual Fashion Trashion show put on by the Studio Art program at University of Minnesota, Morris. The students in the beginning art classes designed and constructed outfits out of trash and recycled materials, and then put on a full runway show with judges, jokes, and way too much fun. They had an enormous SRO turnout - far larger than anyone expected. It was a great end to the day of the Undergraduate Research Symposium day - a wonderful dessert at the end of a rich and varied meal.
Jess Larson asked me to take photos at the event, and in the end I took well over 1,000 photos. As of today (19 August 2009), I've managed to go through the first half and sift out the obviously broken ones. Siobhan Bremer asked if I could jump ahead and sift through the photos of the Dasani "wedding" dress since she'd like to use that in a project. Hence this little set.
UMM folks should feel free to use these however they see fit. It would be nice to know when they're being used, however. Thanks.
Thanks to everyone involved for putting on a really tremendous show!

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

Minchinbury takes its name from the property named by Capt. William Minchin who was granted 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) here in 1819. William Minchin was the Principal Superintendent of Police and Treasurer of the Police Fund in the colony. After the death of William in 1821, the property passed to his only daughter Maria Matilda. In 1838, Maria Matilda and her family were lost at sea, leaving no descendants of William Minchin alive.
Dr. Charles McKay purchased the property in 1859 and developed it into vineyards and cellars. Over the next 2 decades, Dr. McKay bought many neighbouring properties and in 1881, he put all of his land up for auction. At this time, the land did not sell and it wasn't until 1895 that James Angus bought all of McKay's properties.
Penfolds Pty. Ltd. purchased the winery and vineyards in 1912. Most of the existing buildings at the winery were probably added while under the ownership of Penfolds. In 1898, during Angus' winemaking years, the vineyards suffered a viral disease that destroyed the vines. New vines were planted and grew until 1962 when soil erosion made them useless. New vineyards were established on other properties around the area to supply the fruit for the winery. Minchinbury Winery became famous for its champagne. Penfolds stopped operations at the winery in 1978
From the parish website:
Since 1834, The Parish Church of St. Luke has been a place of worship for Anglicans in Halton County. Chief Joseph Brant gave the land for church use and his daughter, Elizabeth Kerr, supported the founding of St. Luke's. The parish has continued this legacy of tradition while meeting the needs of the contemporary world.
At the turn of the 19th century there were no Anglican churches in Halton County, the nearest being Ancaster. The Diocese, of which it was part, stretched from Quebec to the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Erie in the west. It was under the jurisdiction of the first Anglican Bishop of Quebec, The Right Reverend Jacob Mountain.
About this time, a steady influx of immigrants from the United Kingdom began to settle in isolated communities. Their only contact with any form of organized religion was with Methodist preachers who used the stump of a tree for a pulpit, and a clearing for their church.
Baptists and other sects were also round and about, and those back woodsmen liked to hear a "Hell Fire" preacher. There were few Anglican clergymen, and their old style system of Anglicanism was not too well accepted in the new world. What clergymen there were, came mostly from England. A great debt is owed Trinity College, Dublin, for many of its graduates served Upper Canada. They were considered the best, because of their willingness to remain at their posts amidst the most primitive conditions.
It was not until the 1830's that the Church of England became in any way extensive in Halton County when they began in earnest to wage their contest for souls. The Diocese, then under Bishop Charles J. Stewart, was assisted in its missionary endeavours by the Stewart missions, which was organized by his nephew. They provided funds for travelling missionaries and made possible the work of such men as Adam Elliot, William McMurray, Thomas Greene, and many others. The record of achievements is a magnificent one, for these men were just as indefatigable as any Methodist itinerant.
The ultimate result was the birth of the first Anglican Church in Halton County. St. Luke's is the oldest church in Burlington. The land which St. Luke's is built on was given to Joseph Brant, the famous Mohawk leader, for his services to British-Canadian forces during the American Revolution. Brant, who had been an Anglican since the age of twenty, gave the land to his daughter, Elizabeth. She, in turn, donated the land for the construction of a church, the first of its kind in the area.
The original church building was completed in the Fall of 1834, and was consecrated (dedicated) in 1838. The first Rector was the Reverend Doctor Thomas Greene, who remained at St. Luke's for forty years. Doctor Greene, and several other Rectors of St. Luke's are buried in the cemetery. In over 165 years, St. Luke's has only had ten Rectors, several of whom have gone on to become Bishops.
St. Luke's has many stained glass windows, showing scenes from the Bible and many Saints, including St. Luke, of course. The Arms of The Parish Church of St. Luke, includes the "winged ox" representing St. Luke, waves, which symbolized the waters of Baptism, and a St. George Cross, which represents the first Christian.
I was killing time waiting for a concert to start when I came across St. Luke’s brightly lit against the night. I didn't have a tripod with me, so made do by holding my camera on the ground and hoping my hands didn’t shake too much.

World War I, a.k.a. First World War -
The Great War
"The War to End All Wars"
It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.
At 11:00am on November 11, 1918 —
eleventh hour
eleventh day
eleventh month —
A ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
The poem "In Flanders Fields" by the Canadian army physician John McCrae remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
"This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres. My headquarters were in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres Canal, and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank. During periods in the battle men who were shot actually rolled down the bank into his dressing station.
Along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment, and many times during the sixteen days of battle, he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull. Thus the crosses, row on row, grew into a good-sized cemetery.
Just as he describes, we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us.
I have a letter from him in which he mentions having written the poem to pass away the time between the arrival of batches of wounded, and partly as an experiment with several varieties of poetic metre." Lieutenant Colonel Edward Morrison

About the Shot
Usually when I visit the zoo, the baboons are frolicking up the back of their sizeable enclosure, too far away for my 200mm to reach. This time, I arrived at the viewing window to find a huge crowd of people gathered. I waited patiently for a couple of minutes then pushed to the front to be greeted with this lovely sight. Two of the zoo's newest babies right down the front. I'm going to guess that the wee one with the grass in his mouth is Chandu. He was more confident than the other one. Within minutes the youngsters were scooped up and carried away so I got there just at the right time.

About the Baboon Babies
Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed the first of its spring arrivals in the form of three baby gelada baboons. The new additions, which are the first gelada babies to be born at the Zoo, have been named Chandu, Chibale and Chiku. Chandu, who was the first to arrive on 10 February, is the only one to be sexed so far and is a boy. Chibale, whose name means kinship, followed on 6 March and Chiku, whose name means chatter, finally arrived on 10 March. The names for the three baboons have been chosen by their keepers to reflect the Ethiopian origin of this species.
Gelada baboons have only been part of the animal collection since 2007 when a group of seven arrived from Rheine Zoo in Germany. In 2008 the Zoo received a male called Malachi from Colchester Zoo who is father to all three babies.
Gelada baboons live in the Ethiopian Highlands. They live in large troops, led by one dominant male, with younger males, females and infants of all ages making up the rest of the group. They are currently in danger of extinction due to the expansion of the local human population. Not only do they have to compete for land but they are also targeted by farmers who suspect them of crop-raiding.
Georgina Cook, one of the Primate Keepers at Edinburgh Zoo, said:
“We’re really happy that our gelada group have bred successfully as it means that they have settled in really well. The youngsters have already started exploring the enclosure on their own and we’re sure they will prove to be very popular with visitors.”

These men are searching eggs from the megapode birds in the deep ashes.
Hier zien we de mannen die elke dag eieren zoeken in de as aan de voet van de vulkaan. Rondom zie je overal heel diepe putten. Daar zitten de eieren van de megapode vogels in verscholen. De ideale plaats voor die vogels om hun eieren veilig te laten uitbroeden in de warmte van de as. Eens uitgebroed kunnen de vogeltjes op eigen kracht naar boven klauteren. De eieren zijn heel lekker en worden duur verhandeld.
Het is een heuse karwei, de as is heel bloemzacht, ikzelf ben van een boordje geschoven in de put met de camera in de hand. Gelukkig is alles heerlijk zacht, maar de camera haat dit en ikzelf zat behoorlijk onder de as!
Leven onder de as van de vulkaan, dag in, dag uit... alle hotels zijn leeg en verwoest. De stad lijkt heel hallucinant. Ook de huizen zitten onder de as. Nog één hotel blijft met staats-steun open voor de enkele verdwaalde toeristen. De lokale bevolking is erg uitgedund. Alleen heel arme mensen zijn genoodzaakt om te blijven wonen. Aan ons hotel is er elke dag een ploeg paraat om de as weg te scheppen, een heel ongezond werk. De as is heel zacht en voelt aan als losse zachte poeder. Er valt voortdurend as uit de lucht en na enkele uren zit je onder het stof. Veel mensen lopen voortdurend met een masker voor de mond, om de longen te beschermen. De rode tong en tanden bij veel mensen wordt veroorzaakt door het kauwen van 'betelnut'. Een mengsel van mosterdzaadjes, kalk en beetlenoot.
De Tavurvur is een actieve stratovulkaan nabij de Papoea-Nieuw-Guineaanse stad Rabaul op de noordoostelijke punt van het eiland Nieuw-Brittannië. Het vormt het meest actieve onderdeel de Rabaulcaldera (8 bij 14 km), waarbinnen het gelegen is aan de oostelijke rand. De vulkaan is binnen de stad Rabaul berucht om de vele verwoestende uitbarstingen.

nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tavurvur
Tavurvur is an active stratovolcano near Rabaul in East New Britain province, Papua New Guinea. It is a sub-vent of the Rabaul caldera and lies on the eastern rim of the larger feature. The volcano is most well known for its devastating eruptions over Rabaul.
The volcano is the most active feature of the Rabaul caldera, and has erupted as recently as January 2009

Megapodes do not incubate their eggs with their body heat as other birds do, but bury them. Their eggs are unique in having a large yolk, making up 50-70% of the egg weight.[2] They are best known for building massive nest-mounds of decaying vegetation, which the male attends, adding or removing litter to regulate the internal heat while the eggs hatch. However, some bury their eggs in other ways: there are burrow-nesters which use geothermal heat, and others which simply rely on the heat of the sun warming sand.

The Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) is a member of the passerine bird family Hirundinidae — the swallows and martins.
It breeds in North America and Mexico, and is migratory, wintering in western South America from Venezuela southwards to northeast Argentina. This species is a very rare vagrant to western Europe.
This bird averages 13 cm (5 inches) long with a tiny bill. The adult has an iridescent blue back and crown, brown wings and tail, and buff rump. The nape and forehead are white. The underparts are white except for a red face. The tail is square-ended.
Young birds are essentially brown above and whitish below, except for the buff rump and dark face.
The only confusion species is the closely related Cave Swallow, which is richer in colour and has a cinnamon rump and forehead.

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.

ENGLISH
In many countries, Kilometre Zero (also written km 0) or similar terms in other languages, is a particular location (often in the nation's capital city), from which distances are traditionally measured. A similar notion also exists for individual roads (that is, all locations on the road have a number, depending on their distance from that location), and for individual cities (often the city's central post office is used for this).
The most famous such marker of which any part survives from ancient times is the Milliarium Aureum ("Golden Milestone") of the Roman Empire, believed to be the literal origin for the maxim that "all roads lead to Rome."
Spain has its Kilometre Zero in the centre of the Puerta del Sol in Madrid (incidentally, the clock of the old Royal House of the Post Office, in front of which the plaque is located, marks the official time in Spain, according to the urban legend). The plaque that marks this point was turned around 180 degrees in 2002, because the map of Spain depicted on it was upside-down in relation to reality.

CASTELLANO
En muchos países, aunque no en la Angloesfera, Kilómetro Cero (también escrito km 0) o términos similares en otras lenguas, es una localización geográfica singular (a menudo en la capital de la nación), desde la que se miden las distancias. Una noción similar es la existente para las carreteras normales (es decir, todos los tramos de una carretera tienen un número, dependiendo de su distancia a un determinado lugar), y para ciudades singulares (a menudo la central de correos de la ciudad es usada para esto).
España tiene el "kilómetro cero" de las carreteras nacionales radiales en el centro de la Puerta del Sol en Madrid.
La película Km. 0 fue una comedia romántica grabada en Madrid que centraba las relaciones de sus personajes en ese "punto de encuentro".
