Hows that for timing! A flock of passing guls, a setting sun a surfer up and riding all at the same time :) I like how everything is moving in different directions at different speeds, but for the purposes of my photo, they have all become one.
It's another one from Wednesday evenings photo-shoot at Freshwater Bay, with my mates Ian Pacey and Matt Harwood having a sunset surf as the windy conditions that had been around all day eased off just enough for a few cleaner waves to sneak through.
Continuing my recent theme of trying to catch surfing images that have a little bit more to them.

We were short of leaves so wanted to reach lahore as soon as possible. We left Minapin at around 7:30 pm. After doing dinner at Gilgit we reached Raikot at around 1 am midnight. We were suppose to spend night at raikot sarai but on reaching to sarai we learned that its closed as no one has returned back from Eid holidays. We had some fear crossing babusar valley in night time. So now we had only two options 1- To spend 4-5 hours in Shangrilla resort 2- Spend night in open air. We were little short of money so decided to sleep in open. That was a nice unique experience.

Whenever possible, Stormtrooper Bruce tries to make the best of the weekends. That includes having the guys over when they’re off duty, and supplying them with movie marathons, nonstop dinner, desserts and snacks, and of course, cooler after cooler of cold ones! Unfortunately, not all weekends are created equal.
STB: OK, guys, before you sit down, we have a slight problem with tonight’s events, which I need to explain. If you decide to leave, I’ll completely understand. No harm, no foul. We’ll just reconvene next week, and those of us, who still have them, can cross our fingers that next week the problem will be corrected.
TK-432: Dude! Is that any way to greet us? We’re your best buds, your Bro’s. How dare you suggest we may not have all our fingers. We’re the best in our units. We’re the few who actually know how to use our weapons properly!
TK-1110: Um, really? I think that was his failed attempt at humor, to lighten up the mood before he spills the beans about this supposed “slight problem” that’ll be a dealbreaker for tonight’s Movie Night.
TK-432: Oh, my bad. So, what is it? Vader is stopping by? Or the P, or his nephew? Or all of the above? What?
STB: Um, well… it seems the ship delivering supplies to the Mess Hall ran into a meteor shower, and the compartment containing the brewskies, among other things was compromised, and all its contents blew out into space. So, the only beverages left, stored in a different section of the ship, that I was able to order for tonight were water, milk, and these sodas. So, you see what I opted for.
TK-432: Is that the “slight problem” you thought would make us bail on Movie Night?
Tk-1110: Dude! As they say, no problema! No problem. Actually, it’s kind of a refreshing change of pace. Who knows, we might even remember some of tonight for a change.
STB: Now you’re the one making jokes. But, are you two serious? You’re actually OK with this unexpected menu change? You guys! You’re the bestest amigos ever!
TK-432: Meteor Schmeteor, it’s all good! Your supply chain hick-up was out of your control. These things happen. Let’s get this Movie Night started!

It is quite possible that SJ-1 continued north to White River Junction light, as I earlier noted that they brought the entire train from Springfield into the yard here in East Deerfield. But, I do see cars well back, so I'm not sure what the plan was, this day. Sometimes, a switcher from the yard would bring them a cut of cars. The units are on the north/south CT River line, the two closer tracks are the east/west B&M main, which eventually passes under the north/south line, and curves into East Deerfield yard. For the same lead locomotive, this means that the power took the southern lead backwards, got onto the CT River main and headed up to my position. Perhaps they are now backing to pick up the cars left on the east/west tracks, left by a switcher, and then head north to Bellows Falls, and later, White River Junction. Late September 1976
Vatican & Ponte Sant'Angelo [FAKE] Sunset. This evening it was raining and the sky was grey and flat. I was so desapointed that I couldn't resist to replace the sky. I've tried to make it as realistic as possible.

Cloe: That's so awesome. Your dad's an adventurer. My dad doesn't do anything cool like that. He just wants to go to church or read.
Frankie: Your dad's so nice, Cloe. And, he's your dad. I love my dad. He's a better adopted dad than most real dads. But I always wonder about my past.
Cloe: Your life is so cool, Frankie. And I would kill to have your legs.
Frankie: For all I know, someone was killed for me to have these legs.
Cloe ... Oh, I didn't mean...
Kim Possible: Guys! There's a warp hole opening. And it looks huge.
Hopefully not. While I was taking another shot after this one, the last shot of the day before going home, a small wave came, and I left the camera on tripod and retreated back. Then I saw the tripod fell into the waves, and I rushed to the water to pick up the camera, but there was already blue error light on. Fortunately, the flash and lens are still working, the pictures on memory card are fine. I sent the camera in for repair.

Assignment: PCA122 – Frames within the Frame
Deadline: September 26, 2010
Image Tag: pca122
From: gfpeck (Wes)
Mission from gfpeck
This assignment is directed toward creative composition where an element of the image frames the focal point of photograph.
Description
This compositional technique is also referred to as natural framing. The natural frame elements can be anything (natural or man-made ) as long as they are visible in the image and were part of the original scene with the subject

What it Took (WIT)
This is a pic taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway south of Asheville, NC. I was at at conference this week in Asheville (not too shabby!), and was trying to think of what to capture for the assignment. On top of the mountains, at the overlooks, often there were pine trees lining the edges, which gave me the idea of how looking out between pine trees created natural framing. A frame within a frame. The morning this shot was taken the sky was so, so blue. And the fog made the tips of the mountains bluer and more pronounced. I liked the way the sun was illuminating the fog and mountains.
For this assignment I cropped to make the trees more like bookends of the shot, removed a bit of sunflare, and upped the contrast (which darkened the trees). I also increased the saturation and vibrancy a little, and adjusted the blue channel a touch.

The infection of the fly begins when a fungal spore of Entomophthora muscae (Fly Death Fungus) lands on the fly's abdomen. This can be airborne or can also happen when the fly tries to mate with a fly already infected with the fungus. After only 24 hours the fungus reaches the fly’s brain. Within 72 hours, the fungus makes its way into nearly every part of the fly’s body, eating fat and other parts as it goes. It also starts to make its way into the nervous system. After 96 hours, the fungus totally takes over, causing the fly to ascend to a nearby high point, mostly on a flower or plant. Once that high point is reached, the fungus produces a glue-like substance that anchors the fly to its perch. After that the fly straightens its hind legs and opens its wings, a behaviour that ensures that the fungal spores are dispersed as widely as possible. The fly’s abdomen swells as fungal parts grow, which a little while later burst, ejecting spores into the air at a high rate of speed.
The cream / buff coloured bands on the fly's abdomen in my photos are the fungus itself.

Boba Tea Shop, Night. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A San Francisco Chinatown Boba Tea shot at night.
This is another San Francisco night street photography photograph, made possible by the advent of very good, very small digital cameras that can now make good images in very dark conditions. Places like this one, with narrow streets, bright interiors, and a fair amount of ambient light from business signs, become viable subjects for the photographers working with handheld cameras and no electronic flash. In this sort of photography I often work quickly, pausing only long enough to frame up an interesting urban landscape and look for people to populate it.
As a person who frequently photographs on foot in San Francisco and who has lived reasonably close to The City for decades, I know some parts of San Francisco pretty well at this point. I’m frequently in and around Chinatown when I’m up there — because a friend suggests it, because I pass through on my way to another destination, or because it is my destination. For the most part I eschew the busy, commercialized stretch of Grant Street that most think of when they hear “Chinatown” in San Francisco. But at night it becomes more interesting to me, and the larger number and variety of ambient light sources are both interesting and helpful. The bright interior of this shop contrasts with the dark world on the sidewalk, and it is hard for me to say what is actually going on in the shop.

My submission for the Recording Images group. This week’s theme is “strangers”. I don’t think I’ve done a great job of this, but it’s been one of those weeks where I didn’t get out to see enough people! Anyway, this will have to do for now.
Have a great Thursday.

This is separate from the house and other outbuildings on the property.
I am not sure whether this is a man cave but it is rather shabby and, more important, has that bad-ass face on the gable.
I several more possible man caves in queue for posting.
I was asked a question about man caves in one of my recent posts. Here a Wiki post on the concept. I generally agree with most of what I read but know that there are areas of controversy. I am not interested in man caves that are in rooms of the house.

The north side of the building is pretty featureless, and nay very bonnie! There are various blocked-up windows in the 17th century half, including a large and probably original one a first floor level, with a relieving arch above it, to keep the weight of the wall above off the lintel. (It has been suggested that this was actually a door, reached, as was often the case, by a ladder.)

Titian -
Allegory of Time governed by Prudence [~1550]
London NG
wikipedia
Here you will find an exhaustive article on possible interpretions:
www.artinsociety.com/titian-prudence-and-the-three-headed...
********************************************************************************
Connected to Titian's late portraits is the Allegory of Time governed by Prudence. This is an exceptional portrait which depicts the aged Titian on the left above a wolf's head, his son Orazio in the centre above the head of a lion, and his nephew Marco above a dog's head. The wolf, the lion and the dog, symbolize the past, present and future. In the upper part of the painting there is an inscription which is the key to the complex allegorical meaning of the work: "EX PRAETERITO PRAESENS PRUDENTER AGIT, NI FUTURUM ACTIONE DETURPET" ("From the (experience of the) past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future action").
Though it was common enough during the Renaissance to use three human heads to symbolize the ages of man, and to use three animal heads to symbolize prudence, it was very unusual to use them as the theme of a painting. As Titian used personal motifs, it can be assumed that he chose the subject matter himself.

*******************************************************************************
The Allegory of Prudence (c. 1550–1565) is an oil-on-canvas painting attributed to the Italian artist Titian and his assistants. The painting portrays three human heads, each facing in a different direction, above three animal heads (from left to right, a wolf, a lion and a dog). It is in the National Gallery, London.[1]
The painting is usually interpreted as operating on a number of levels.[2][3] At the first level, the different ages of the three human heads represent the three ages of man (from left to right: old age, maturity and youth), a subject that Titian had depicted 50 years earlier in his The Three Ages of Man. The different directions in which they are facing reflect a second, wider concept of time itself as having a past, present and future. This theme is repeated in the animal heads: an animal with three heads (wolf, lion, dog) to represent the passage of time (past, present, future) is associated with Serapis in Macrobius's Saturnalia, and associated with Apollo by Petrarch, and the iconography is repeated for example in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili of Francesco Colonna (1499), the Hieroglyphica of Pierio Valeriano (1556), and the Iconologia of Cesare Ripa (1643). The third level, from which the painting has acquired its present name, is suggested by a barely visible inscription above the portraits: EX PRÆTE/RITO // PRÆSENS PRVDEN/TER AGIT // NI FVTVRA / ACTIONĒ DE/TVRPET (Latin for "from the experience of the past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future actions".)
It has been argued that the human faces are actual portraits of the aged Titian, his son Orazio, and his young nephew, Marco Vecellio, who, like Orazio, lived and worked with Titian.[4] Erwin Panofsky, in his classic exposition, suggests that the painting is specifically associated with the negotiations associated with the passing on of Titian's property to the younger generations, in the light of his approaching death. The painting therefore acts as a visual counsel to the three generations to act prudently in the administration of the inheritance. Nicholas Penny is, however, highly sceptical of this, and points out discrepancies between the human heads and other evidence of the individuals' appearance. He doubts it was a personal project of any sort and feels that is "surely more likely that the painting was commissioned".[5] Others are also of the opinion that the three heads are not Titian and his family. One reason is that there are no portraits of Orazio or Marco, so confirmation that they are the figures is difficult.[6]
More recently the painting has been explained in quite different ways. Instead of an allegory of prudence, it has been seen as an allegory about sin and penitence. On this view, it amounts to an admission by Titian that his failure to act prudently in his youth and middle age has condemned him to lead a regretful old age.[7]
At the other extreme, the painting has been explained as asserting that the prudence which comes with experience and old age is an essential aspect of artistic discrimination and judgement. On this interpretation, the painting therefore acts as a rebuttal of the view that old age is the enemy of artistic achievement. On a more general level, the painting's depiction of Titian with his assistants Orazio and Marco is also intended as a defence of the prudence of the continuity of the Venetian workshop tradition.[8]

This was taken at the end of a great walk this week. I planned it so that I would end up at Corfe Castle for the sunset and although in the end it wasn't the blazing sunset I'd hoped for, there were some lovely pastel tones mixed with quite heavy cloud. This was again taken with the little Sony so no filters were used.
This one definitely looks better on black.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
Here's a link to my BLOG. Hope you enjoy it.

“And I think that it is certainly possible that the objective universe can be affected by the poet. I mean, you recall Orpheus made the trees and the stones dance and so forth, and this is something which is in almost all primitive cultures. I think it has some definite basis to it. I'm not sure what. It's like telekinesis, which I know very well on a pinball machine is perfectly possible.”
