During the last ice age 10-20,000 years ago ocean levels were up to 400 feet lower than they are today's. The channel between the mainland and the islands narrowed to, perhaps just four to five miles. Across. The four northern islands became one large island we call Santarosae. Gray foxes could have rafted to this island on driftwood propelled by storms or currents. The foxes adapted to their new island home evolving into a dwarf or smaller form of the gray fox. Environmental and ecological factors such as overcrowding, reduction in predators, food limitations and genetic variations could have contributed to the natural selection for a smaller size. After the ice age with warming the sea levels rose and canyons filled with sea water and Santarosae became four separate islands --- San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz and Anacapa. Due to a lack of permanent fresh water, the island fox did not survive on Anacapa, but they do remain on the other three islands.
Human life on the Channel Islands dates back at least 13,000 years. Well developed trade routes existed between the Chumash people of the northern islands and the Gabrielino/Tongva on the southern islands. Scientists believe island foxes were transported to the southern Islands of Santa Catalina, San Clemente and San Nicholas as a result of trade between native peoples.

Devil's Golf Course on Badwater Lake in Death Valley. A most amazing place!!! What you are looking at is cracked up salt. In some places the salt layer is 5 feet (that's almost 2 meters) deep. What my hubby is looking for is little bubbles that pop up and then pop later from the heat. If you go here in the summer, you can hear the place pop like music.
I did find some of the salt pops but they were popped already. Later I will post a macro shot of this salt pop but I need to find it amidst the many pictures I took here.. =)
This place is in the middle of the lake and you have to drive in on a compacted "dirt" road where the dirt is salt. =) After this trip my car's "service engine soon" warning light came up and stayed the entire day. It went off the next day. I suppose German cars were not made to inhale salt vapor? =)
I was playing around with long exposure photographs. Claire (Forch2009) got given this Police Bear (called Oscar) from her work, so I thought I'd put him in lights.
I quite like the result!

Dimanche après-midi, le DAL (Droit Au Logement) a occupé un gymnase rue du Renard pendant quelques heures. Après la promesse d'un rendez-vous avec Delanoë la semaine prochaine, les 150 à 200 militants et familles ont quitté les lieux vers 20h30, après une brève manifestation jusqu'à la place de l'Hôtel de Ville.
Dans le gymnase, les enfants passent le temps en jouant, sautant des espaliers sur les matelas.

Yesterday at the festival I entered, they auctioned off some of the entries to the various competitions. They held up this massive bouquet of dahlias. I love dahlias - I think they're amazing but I am rubbish at growing them.
I saw the giant bunch of dahlias, each flower larger than a baby's head, and I knew I had to have them. I bid immediately, and won them. Alastair settled my auction fees and handed me the huge cluster of dahlias.
The person standing next to me was my neighbor - a gentle man, a quiet man, a family man who cares for his ailing wife. Easily in his 70's, every summer he walks across the road and hands us punnets of tomatoes and strawberries, of vegetables and fruits that he grows. He pointed to my dahlias and smiled - "Those were the winners of the flower competition," he said.
"Really?" I replied. "But of course they should have won, they're amazing!"
He smiled shyly. "Thanks. It was my entry and they won."
And I love that I bought my own neighbor's flowers, and I love it even more that he won from them.
These three are the only pale, buttercream colored flowers out of the brightly colored bunch. I put them in a vase together and I can't stop staring at them.
This shot is straight out of the camera.

Martins eye, rather weird i thought.
One of the shots from my photography book 'Soul Collections Part 2' (Part 1 being a section in my other photography book 'Wonderland')
I followed four people around for three whole days, invading their space at every opportunity (they let me, so i'm not creepy), and photographing them all day (martin was one of them)
The idea was to do this small project and at the end, see if i captured a picture that displays the personality of that person and display the best of three days results in a substantial photography book.
This was part of my Graphic Design Honours Degree course earlier this year. Which i thankfully passed.
All photographs are black and white.
The book can be bought or previewed here www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/689358
View On Black - everything in the image is made of two different images, one for each eye, left/right, this is the reason we need the glasses, and in this way our brain rebuilds the 3D; without the glasses the projection is messy; in simple terms: the further apart, the further away the object is
The Mower's Song
by Andrew Marvell
My mind was once the true survey
Of all these meadows fresh and gay,
And in the greenness of the grass
Did see its hopes as in a glass;
When Juliana came, and she
What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.
But these, while I with sorrow pine,
Grew more luxuriant still and fine,
That not one blade of grass you spied,
But had a flower on either side;
When Juliana came, and she
What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.
Unthankful meadows, could you so
A fellowship so true forgo,
And in your gaudy May-games meet,
While I lay trodden under feet?
When Juliana came, and she
What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.
But what you in compassion ought,
Shall now by my revenge be wrought:
And flow'rs, and grass, and I and all,
Will in one common ruin fall.
For Juliana comes, and she
What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.
And thus, ye meadows, which have been
Companions of my thoughts more green,
Shall now the heraldry become
With which I will adorn my tomb;
For Juliana comes, and she
What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.

City Hall, Tübingen, Germany
tuebingen-info.de/index.php?id=812&sav_library=908e66...
The oldest building in the Marketplace is City Hall, which dates back to 1435. In 1508, an additional floor was added to the original two-story structure. It was in this phase of expansion that the astronomical clock of Johannes Stöffler, a Tübingen math and astronomy professor, was added to the building.
On the southeast corner of City Hall the figure of a bacchante, a disciple of Bacchus the god of wine, is depicted. Her presence makes reference to the Tübingen’s history winegrowing – inebriated, she throws her clothes behind her.
In the Middle Ages, the ground floor of City Hall housed the municipal salt storage, a prison, and an a public hall in which bakers and butchers could peddle their goods. The once wooden pillars were replaced with cement pillars in the 1970’s. In the large hall on the second floor, which once served as a sales hall for the tanner, visitors can still marvel at the original woodwork from the 15th century. The court and city council meet in the third floor. Starting in 1514, the Württemberg manorial court, the highest court in the land, met on the fourth floor.
Rathaus, Tübingen
Das Tübinger Rathaus direkt am Marktplatz im Herzen der Altstadt wurde in kleinerer Form 1435 erbaut und immer wieder um- und angebaut. Im Querhausgiebel ist die historische Astronomische Uhr.
Die aus Beton gefertigten Arkaden-Stützen sind der von außen sichtbare Teil einer umfänglichen Modernisierung der 1960er Jahre an diesem Haus. Im Rahmen einer großangelegten Sanierung des gesamten Altbaus 2012-2015 werden die Arkaden wie auch weitere Bereiche wieder einem früheren Zustand, der heute angemessener erscheint, angeglichen. Der vordere Teil des Erdgeschosses wird z.B. wieder zu einer großen offenen Halle umgebaut.
Das Rathaus von 1435 war anfangs eine Markthalle für die Bäcker, Metzger und Salzhändler. Es ist heute vierstöckig und verziert durch eine von Johannes Stöffler geschaffene astronomische Uhr von 1511, die den Lauf der Gestirne und die Mondphasen zeigt.
Die Fassade erhielt ihr heutiges Gesicht 1877 zum 400jährigen Jubiläum der Universität (Neorenaissance): Im 1. Obergeschoss drei Allegorien (Gerechtigkeit, Ackerbau und Wissenschaft), darüber sechs Medaillons verdienter Männer der Stadt (Breuning, Osiander, Dann, Huber, Cotta und Uhland) sowie unter der Astronomischen Uhr Graf Eberhard V. im Bart, der Gründer der Universität.
An der Südseite zur Haaggasse gibt es ältere, wohl Renaissance-Fassadenmalereien und an der Ecke die Figur einer frivolen Bacchantin.
02/28/09: View Large On Black This is an HDR of a few images of the Urban Light Display at LACMA in LA, CA.
I had just been to LACMA the night before, but it was the last weekend of the Vanity Fair Portraits Exhibition, so I went back to LACMA, after 5pm, when they don’t charge for the visit.
After getting kicked out of the exhibition (the closing time was 8pm), I went outside to the lamp posts display.
For the curious: the blurry people movement is a result of this being an HDR of 4 or 5 images, and not from a single long exposure. The exposure time for each image was only 0.5 seconds.

in between the dunes and the work in coro i took a trip to sierra de san luis. it's only about 30 minutes drive from the coastal city but the scenery is so different, lush green mountains with a comfortable as opposed to stifling heat. i spent the night at a place called finca el monte which is a tiny place in the too-small-to-be-called-a village of santiago. it's run by a french couple who live there with their young son and a variety of animals. and as soon as i arrived i was struck by how friendly everyone was. the parents were helpful and chatty and instantly made me feel welcome. their son, who was less than 5 years old, spoke to me in a mixture of french and spanish and couldn't wait to show me his etch-a-sketch. their dog, chinotto, was a big, over-excited ball of energy which started following me everywhere. even the cats, which i have an allergic aversion towards, wanted to purr up against me. and then there were the kittens, not quite as conversational as the humans, not quite as doting as chinotto, but damn were they cute. even with the sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes i couldn't help but play with them. you know you're in a good place when both the humans and the animals are full of love and kindness.

Taken in adirondacks, 2008
Processed in PS3.
I used to take very very few pictures in RAW, then I just found out taking a image in RAW does make a huge difference in terms of editing. This is also the first time I tried to mimic a film feeling on landscape shots. An important lesson learned is that, by default, my CS3 RAW converter use Adobe RGB color profile for my output image saved in jpeg, and when you upload this image online, it looks good in safari (reads Adobe RGB color), but dramatically different firefox (apparently not)! I wasn't happy at all. and presumably, IEs in windows and mac might also have such differences. It took me a good amount of time to sort this out. In CS3, before doing RAW->JPEG conversion, go to Edit>Assign Profile>choose sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and apply, then adjust the controls in RAW converter and save the satisfied final image in jpeg. This image should be embedded with sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile than Adobe RGB, which is not used by Firefox. It seems that sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is a more universally shared color profile, so in other words, one would have better chance of seeing consistent colors of same digital image in different IEs under same or different systems. Nite.
Some of the new editing feelings were inspired by this great set of pictures taken by, I believe, Jimmy, some random guy's great pictures on flickr I ran into, just to share it with you:
www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org/index.php?flash=1
Laurel Hill Cemetery is more than just a cemetery. It is an outdoor sculptural garden, a horticultural gem and a truly unique historical resource. It also happens to be one of the few cemeteries in the United States to be honored with the designation of National Historic Landmark.
Numerous prominent people are buried at the Cemetery, including many of Philadelphia’s leading industrial magnates. Names such as Rittenhouse, Widener, Elkins and Strawbridge certainly pique local interests, but Laurel Hill also appeals to a national audience. General Meade and thirty-nine other Civil War-era generals reside here, in addition to six Titanic passengers. As in its earliest days, Laurel Hill’s natural beauty and serenity continue to render it a bucolic retreat nestled within the city’s limits overlooking the Schuylkill River. This beautiful green space is further complemented by the breathtaking art, sculpture and architecture that can be found here. These are just some of the many attributes that render Laurel Hill Cemetery a primary destination for local and national visitors to the City of Brotherly Love.
Anyone know what these delicate autumn blooms are?
They were growing out atop thin tall stems about 4.5 ft tall, in a littl ebrownstone front yard garden on 20th street in Chelsea. Their leaves were large -- like squash or zucchini leaves, and theaves were thick and lower to the ground. Then, these thin little stems shot up high and exploded into these lovely little white blooms, dogwood-like in shape, three bifurcated white petals, bright yolk-yellow stamen and a hard pea gree-pea shaped pistil in the center.
Why am I describing them in such detail when you can just look at the photo? Well, when I spotted these, I was with my dear friend Maureen, who happens to be completely blind. Because she lost her sight in her mid-twenties, she can "see" though my descriptions (if they are detailed enough) and through touch (if she's allowed to palpate the object). Maureen stayed with me for a few days this week while attending a conference on pedestrian rights and walkable cities (a big issue for people with visual impairments -- think about it!) Because she lives in Chcago, we don't get to see each other much. And so I'm not adapted to her way of existing in the world. It always takes a bit of time to readjust to doing things in a way that both supports her fierce independence and enhances her experience of our environment. Once I get my groove back, I'm pretty good at it, because I don't mind slowing down & describing what's going on around me as it's happening. Try it -- you'll find it really enhances your experience, too!
This time, our exploration was especially difficult because we were in NYC (dealing with the subway -- TIMES SQUARE transfers -- with a blind woman, guide dogs, and throngs of self-absorbed New Yorkers) and especially interesting, because I was determined to be both guide and photographer. I wanted to continue "seeing my way" and share that with her. She's always very admant that her friends not alter their behavior because of her -- so I decided to continue carrying my camera & not worry about that being insensitive. The results were interesting. I found myself focusing on things at her hand-level. I also found myself appreciating my sight and being less discirminating about and tough on what I shot.
That's enough of my bable on this topic for now... More later perhaps... Lots of thoughts on this...
Walking into the George Washington National Masonic Memorial was...awesome, in the true sense of the word. We struck the right time to arrive, as we were the only people visiting at the time (though I imagine not many know about the Memorial). One feels that to speak in a regular voice would be a violation, somehow. Sotto voce seemed more appropriate for most of our visit (but then, you all know what a hero of mine Washington is, so perhaps that made me more sensitive to the place).
The elegant and beautiful Memorial Hall, at 100 feet long, 66 feet wide, and 51 feet high and sculpted with great talent and care, is simultaneously ennervating and humbling. The design is clearly meant to lead the visitor's eye to the enormous, 17-foot bronze of George Washington. The effect is truly awe-inspiring, quieting, and throws one into immediate contemplation and consideration.
The Masonic Memorial is far, far better and more fitting than the Washington Memorial most of us are familiar with. It's quite grand, something of the sort we do not see in this country (thankfully), but for Washington...Well, it seems appropriate on one hand, but on the other, I do wonder what the man himself would think! After all, Washington much preferred his farm and businesses to war and politics.
Still, the veneration, so long as it does not devolve into idolization and deification, is merited. Few, few men since have been so beneficial to America (and the world) or so worthy of emulation. It is something even England's King George III recognized, doubtless with great amazement and awe.
The Masons intended to "express in durability and beauty the undying esteem of the Freemasons of the United States for him in whose memory it shall stand throughout the coming years." The designers and builders have truly accomplished their goal.
By the way, there is a beautiful video about Washington narrated by David McCullough here. It'll cause misty eyes, if you love America, if you long for men who even aspire to be so fine and selfless as Washington to arise again.
The Rose -- Bette Midler
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

[View On Black] and/or [View On White]
The smallest and most common American woodpecker, the Downy Woodpecker is found throughout most of North America from Alaska to Florida. It lives in a variety of habitats from wilderness forests to urban backyards, and comes readily to bird feeders.
Description
* Small woodpecker.
* Black and white plumage.
* Plain white back.
* Small, pointed bill.
* Size: 14-17 cm (6-7 in)
* Wingspan: 25-30 cm (10-12 in)
* Weight: 21-28 g (0.74-0.99 ounces)
Sex Difference
Male with red patch on back of head, female with black patch.
Sound
Call note a sharp "pik." Also a harsh rattle or whinny.
Conservation Status
Widespread and abundant. May be slightly increasing in some areas.
Other Names
Pic mineur (French)
Cool Facts
* The Downy Woodpecker is a frequent member of mixed species flocks in winter. The woodpecker is less vigilant looking for predators and more successful at foraging when in such a flock. It will readily join chickadees or other birds mobbing a predator, but it remains quiet and does not actually join in the mobbing
* Male and female Downy Woodpeckers may stay in the same areas in winter, but they divide up where they look for food. The male feeds more on small branches and weed stems, and the female feeds more on large branches and the trunks of trees. Males appear to keep the females from foraging in the more productive spots. When the male is removed from a woodlot, the female shifts her foraging to the smaller branches
* The Downy Woodpecker uses sources of food that larger woodpeckers cannot, such as the insect fauna of weed stems. It will cling to goldenrod galls to extract the gall fly larvae. The woodpecker prefers larger galls, and uses the exit tube constructed by the larva to extract it.
* The Downy Woodpecker varies gradually across its range. Larger birds are found in the north and at higher elevations, while smaller birds live in the south and at lower elevations. Western woodpeckers tend to have less white in the wings and less black on the outer tail feathers.
