A further development of our old Viking boats.

Barges in Norway are boats that are usually between 7 and 15 feet long and have one or two pairs of oars, but large barges with both decks and deep keels are known, also from other countries. The Skagerrak area is perceived as the core area for the barges, and here the normal size is usually 12-15 feet, but there have been examples of 20 feet. However, they have spread to the whole country, and are also used in large parts of the world elsewhere, many places under the name 'Norwegian barge' (but this does not mean that all barge-shaped boats in the world were originally imported from Norway!)

The barge, like all other Norwegian rowing boats, is clinker-built (see clinker-built boats) by board. Typical of barges is that they lack keel; the bottom is therefore as round as the mirrors, and where the keel sits on other boats, the barge has a flat bottom table. But it is usually nailed to a small keel fin at the back of the bottom table, and the barge will be a good sailor if it gets a deeper keel put on. They are widest and deepest slightly behind the middle.

The barge is easy to row and very easy to turn, and it is therefore nice to turn forward in convoluted waters. But even though it has a certain seaworthiness, it does not do well against the sea with the "bowl" shape and the mirror across the front. When standing in it, especially in the "snout", it can be very unstable and difficult to keep the balance in.

In addition to being an all-possible boat, barges were also used in the past as a ship's boat on larger schooners and ships. Today, they are also used as a motorboat with an outboard motor mounted on the transom, which has often had an extra mounting plate fitted.

In Østfold, the word oak or oak is used for barge. This has a connection back to the log boat which could be a hollowed oak log.

The Holmsbu frame from Buskerud is the most advanced, more elongated and has a beautiful spring. It is also the most popular type also known as «Norwegian barges».

In Nordhordland, the term 'ferry' is used on a barge with a fairly large mirror in front

Around Trondheimsfjorden, the barge is called skeis.

At Hitra, the name kjoks is also used for barges.

In Sørlandet, the barge of the fisherman Markus in the novel Kilden, according to the author Gabriel Scott, is completely flat-bottomed and with vertical sides, and thus in reality a flat boat, with a capacity for two targets and a rower.

Not so the forest rebel.

He has a tough decision to make: to reserve the right—at any cost—to judge for himself what he is called upon to support or contribute to. There will be considerable sacrifices, but they will be accompanied by an immediate gain in sovereignty. Naturally, as things stand, only a tiny minority will perceive the gain as such. Dominion, however, can only come from those who have preserved in themselves a knowledge of native human measures and who will not be forced by any superior power to forsake acting humanely.

Ecclesiastes 1:17-18

17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow

I stopped by a roadside pond where I saw Avocets wading. As soon as I stepped outside, a male (Top L) enaged in this crouch behavior and came toward me. It then flew to the road behind my car (Top R), and started calling and distracting.

When I looked back at the pond, I saw two Avocet chicks (Bottom L). The male flew to the chick's location and ushered them farther away from me and into denser vegetation. A female flew in and made noisy circles around me until she perceived the threat was over. She then joined her mate and chicks now on the far side of the pond.

The compression of distance through my long lens gives the appearance that this first- or second-year juvenile American Alligator was unconcerned with my presence, which was not as close as it seems. It would have been quick to hit the water had it perceived a threat, especially now that mama gator is no longer around for protection since she has a new nest to guard.

But the visions I saw I did not perceive in dreams, or sleep, or delirium, or by the eyes of the body, or by the ears of the outer self, or in hidden places, but I received them while awake and seeing with a pure mind and the eyes and ears of the inner self, in open places, as God willed it. How this might be is hard for mortal flesh to understand.

This photograph began life as an intended stitched together panorama. The light on the grasses and hills was extraordinary, thick and golden, an inky-blue sky above. I was driving across country to return to work for the week. Rushing, I snatched at the second shot in the group, blurring it, but left no overlap between the first and third images and didn't check on the screen.

This is a righthand square crop from the first image, the best I could salvage from a job badly done, made monochrome.

Taken from the roadside, the perceived distance is magnified by the wide angle and emphasis on the foreground, enhancing the hut's sense of isolation.

Suprematism is an early twentieth-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles). The term refers to a form of abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic expression" rather than on a visual or literal depiction of objects. It is entirely subjective and gives room to the artist to present what they think or perceive versus what they may see.

If you are done playing safe with your color and fashion choices here in SL, let’s discuss this Newphe Maci Mini Dress in black (aka a “little black dress”) and its symbolization.

The LBD is best known for its titillating panache. It radiates sexiness, confidence, and style. It is iconic with a complicated history.

The LBD not only increases your perceived fashionableness, but it also pronounces your sexy attractiveness to potential partners.

Fits: Reborn, Reborn Juicy, Reborn Waifu, Khara, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Pushup Legacy Smash, Maitreya Lara, and Maitreya Petite mesh bodies.

AVAILABLE FATPACK with 10 color options for the Dress and its Belt

Shugendo(u) (修験道) is an amalgam of Shinto(u), Buddhism, and animistic folk beliefs. There are shrines and altars here and there in the cave.

The shrine in the photo is called Juuni-yakushi (十二薬師). Yakushi (薬師如来, Bhaiṣajyaguru) is one of the Buddhas of Mahayana Buddhism, but it seems to be incorporated into Shugendou.

Coins pasted on the rock are offerings to the deity, which is probably a magical practice for good luck or wish fulfillment. I don't know why the coins stick to the rock.

There is a report that a huge amount of old coins were recovered during a scientific survey of the cave. Academics argue that coins were perceived as magic items for religious practices rather than money for economic activities.

Flamingo, created by American artist Alexander Calder, is a 53-foot (16 m) tall stabile located in the Federal Plaza in Chicago. Calder gave the stabile its color, which has come to be called "Calder red",[5] to offset it from the black and steel surroundings of nearby office buildings, including the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe-designed Kluczynski Federal Building. Despite the massive size of the sculpture, its design is such that viewers can walk underneath and around it, thus enabling one to perceive it in human scale. The shape of Flamingo alludes to the natural and animal realm, which is a stark contrast to more literal interpretations in sculpture from previous decades.

The parents tried to rush us along. they have two chick: one that stayed quiet next to a cluster of weeds (detected by my wife's eagle eye) and another that run in an open meadow oblivious to the perceived risk.

Hug, means thought or soul. In Nordic folklore, the hug was also thought to be able to travel independently of the body. Particularly important was the "evil hug", as it was believed that certain people could influence and harm others through their thinking. This should be able to act as a radiance, often at a long distance, and was in some cases perceived as materialized and personified. Al objekts taken with my Nikon D200

One of the strange ironies of the Canadian Rockies lies in the naming of one of the most, if not THE most gorgeous lakes in the Canadian Rockies. "Maligne" in French can translate to "devilish", "malicious" and "diabolical", or maybe even "wicked." It can also translate to "keen" or "sharp", but that's not what the men who gave the nearby river its name were intending. It seems that the French fur traders had such a hard time navigating the nearby river that they named it "Maligne" in disgust, before seeing the glorious lake ahead.

Regardless, the name stuck. As I was sifting through my shots from our trip, this one in particular seemed to capture the spirit of the name of the lake as this "ghost busters" sky rolled in while we were waiting to board the boat to Spirit Island. It was almost as if you would expect to see the face of Voldemort coming out of those clouds at any moment.

Shortly after taking this shot, we were headed toward that last patch of blue as we motored our way across the lake toward Spirit Island. Before we left though, I took one last look at this sky and it wasn't hard to believe that there were days when this lake could easily be perceived as "wicked."

Das ganze Leben besteht aus Erinnerungen, abgesehen von

dass man ihn kaum wahrnimmt.

Saint Mary’s Cathedral is located in the historic center of Photi. In particular : В in today’s Central Park. This location of the building was chosen because of the rays perceived from the street.

Photi is a city, which was built according to a plan. 12 squares were joining the central street (twelve Apostles sign) and the ray sign was created. The most important event in the history of Photi was the building of Guria– Samegrelo eparchy’s cathedral in 1906-1907 years, In which’s construction, great contribution belongs to Niko Nikoladze.

The project was created by A.Zelenko. The project is the reduced analog of Constantinople’s Hagia Sofia. Later, after that, R. Marpeld made some corrections in project, the project was approved. The church was entertained to hold 2000 prayers. The construction of the church was tasked to “Black Sea Building Society”. The construction began in 6 July, 1906 and finished in September, 1907. It lasted for 1 year and 3 months. It was opened on 14 September “Jvartamagleba” holiday. The church’s foundation was blessed, by Guria-Samegrelo bishop, Giorgi.

On 22 May, 1907 the cross was erected on the dome of the church. Soviet government, turned the cathedral into theatre. In 2005, by the prayer-blessing of Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia, the cathedral returned to the Photi patriarchate ownage.

For Smile on Saturday! - capture the time

This Regulator clock kept time in the house when I was a little boy in the 1960s. It tick-tocked outside my bedroom and I became so accustomed that I could lie in the quiet darkness trying to hear it, but perceiving only its echo over the hardwood living room floor before my parents laid down wall-to-wall carpet. My brain cancelled out the rhythmic noise.

My father said he had picked the clock off a rubbish heap somewhere. On the back is scrawled in pencil, "Oct. 19, 1918."

My parents must have given it to me when they replaced it with a fancy new one that never kept time properly. Around that time I had finished university and college and had my own apartment in 1988. A few years later the hinge of the glass cover broke off in my hand, but the frame of glass itself remains intact. Then the clock stopped working.

I don't think it would be difficult to repair but I wasn't the kind of person who opens things and fiddles with them without knowledge. I've kept it, hoping I'd find someone to repair it. Since 2015 it has hidden in the back of a pile of boxes in the basement. I was surprised to be able to find and retrieve it so easily. Maybe I'm curious and fearless enough now to remove the face and see if I can figure out what stalled the mechanism.

It's in many ways a timepiece.

Ironically, after shooting this set of photos for Smile on Saturday and transferring it to Lightroom, I noticed the last frame was timed past midnight, making it ineligible as POD for Project 365. The time on this shot is 11:59. The correct time was only 10 pm. I must have set the camera clock back instead of forward for Daylight Savings Time. It's funny how this antique clock that doesn't even work managed to tell me through a photo that the hi-tech camera had it wrong, for "capture the time."

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

The beauty of real infrared is that is changes not only the way we perceive the light, but also the perspective as well. This makes the object in some cases look further away than it is. Just perfect for a composition that wants to take you up into the heights. Everything feels so soft you almost want to lie down in those meadows in the foreground. The effect here is more like a delicate pencil sketch.

Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.

Eye - Ojo

En la retina están las células visuales, por lo que se puede comparar a una película fotosensible. La luz, es decir, la imagen que percibimos, se transforma allí en impulsos eléctricos que el nervio óptico transmite al cerebro. Los nervios ópticos de la zona nasal de ambos ojos se entrecruzan antes de entrar en el encéfalo, formando el quiasma óptico, en cambio la zona temporal no se cruza, dejando en un lado del cerebro el sector nasal de un ojo y el temporal del otro. Luego se prolongan por las vías visuales hacia la zona media del cerebro y atravesando el tejido cerebral, alcanzan los centros visuales de los lóbulos occipitales. Se ignora que ocurre con exactitud después, pero los impulsos eléctricos se transforman en imágenes. La imagen llega invertida y deforme por las irregularidades del ojo a la retina, pero el cerebro la rectifica y podemos percibirla en su posición original.

In retinal cells are visual, so it can be compared to a photosensitive film. Light, ie, the image we perceive, it is transformed into electrical impulses that the optic nerve transmits to the brain. The optic nerves of the nasal area of both eyes cross before entering the brain, forming the optic chiasm, while the zone is not crossed, leaving on one side of the brain of an eye, nose and other temporary . After extending the visual pathways to the middle area of the brain through the brain tissue, reach the visual centers of the occipital lobes. It is not known exactly happens after, but the electrical impulses are converted into images. The inverted image comes and deformed by irregularities of the eye to the retina, but the brain can perceive it and correcting its original position.

Found this Fawn during a 2020 Road Trip to Colorado.

___________________________

Spotted white-tailed deer fawns offer one of the most appealing sights in nature. Fawns typically appear walking closely to their protective mother or bounding across a field with seemingly unlimited energy. However, in May and June many fawns are found curled up in the field or forest alone, with no vigilant doe in sight. Is this an orphaned fawn? Almost never!

White-tailed deer mate in the fall (October – December). The male deer (buck) plays no role in raising fawns. After the female deer (doe) gives birth to one or two fawns and nurses them, she leads them into secluded habitat within her familiar home range. Twin fawns can be separated by up to 200 feet. The doe then leaves them alone for extended periods of time. The doe returns periodically to nurse them and to relocate them to new secluded habitat. This pattern will continue for up to 3 weeks. By this time the fawns are mature enough to keep up with their mother and able to race out of real or perceived danger.

It is just that I admire this painter who was able to express himself, that is, was able to perceive and depict the world in ways no longer dominated by Christian iconography. The logic behind is simple. If the world speaks of God, then you can read it like a book and express your reading through painting. You don't need biblical imagery. Fuji X100F.

A few nights back I was in a right cranky mood and so decided to head out with the camera, also which was upon the strong advice from my partner! ;) I happened upon this little industrial place, the same spot near enough where I shot my last spider.

It was a nightmare trying to get the focus and I'd forgotten my torch and also didn't have a laser pointer to hand. Be not fooled by the light here, it was really dark. Kinda reminded of what a psychologist I knew once said: "What is more truthful in the dark, what your eyes perceive or the technologies point of view?!"

Still, I think this worked out OK. Another weekend is here, enjoy and so as always, thank you! :)

The Rotspitze is waiting, with his heavy load of ancient ice and fresh snow. He stares at us through the crowning clouds like a grim deity from ages past, shrouded in mystery - perhaps wondering what on earth we are doing here...

Here I am, my friends, with a new picture - however a re-edit of an old one. I have always known that I would have re-edited this shot, and the time is come. No time to go around shooting, not even at the precious, secret time of sunrise. We are quite busy in the process of getting a new house in a new town... A great chance for our family. So I have allowed myself returning to this shot - one of my very earliest HDR processing - with new techniques: luminosity masks and Nik Color Efex 4. I love the colour version I have obtained, but from start I was thinking about a monochrome to try conveying a feeling of primeval power and the majesty of the mountain as they could have been perceived by some ancient dweller of the region, thinking that the mountain is a mighty deity.

Light is my inspiration. My photographic images search for dimensions that words cannot touch-- the result of intense responses to personal experiences.

I had been banished from heaven and sent to the mortal world where darkness also dwelt, my worst fear until I met him, I could never see him but his voice captivated me and I was sure to follow him to the depths of the underworld even I was ready to receive the same wounds he had, because for me, he had a brightness and a light that no one could perceive even him.

New Christian Song 2018 "The Incarnate God Leads Mankind Into a New Era"

I

The incarnate God, He brings to an end the age when only Jehovah's back was seen. He also concludes the age of belief when in vagueness God was perceived. The work of the last incarnate God brings man to a more practical age. The work He does brings all mankind to a more pleasant and realistic time. He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh, instead of God's Spirit alone.

II

He not only ends the age of law and doctrine, He shows man a God who is real, a God who is normal, righteous and holy, who unlocks the management plan, who demonstrates the mysteries, the destination of mankind, who made man and ends the management work, who has been hidden for thousands of years. He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh. Oh, He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh, instead of God's Spirit alone.

Did you know that red is the first color that humans perceive, after black and white? It's the color that babies see first before any other, and the first that those suffering from temporary color blindness after a brain injury start to see again. Red is the most powerful color amongst all. It has a tendency to stimulate mind and attract attention.

One day last winter, while I was admiring the sunny , snowed garden , I suddenly perceive a huge flying presence with open large wings …landing majestically in the middle of our garden, close to our pond !!!!!!!! And I rushed to pick up my camera!!!

Herons are really an impressive visit in our garden, having in their mind to have a great meal on my beloved red fish, about 30 of them at the moment!! But, of course, I let them stay as long as they serve as a great …model for me….And then, I create a light noise, and immediately those huge wings open again, and they fly away…

This time the occasion was very positive for shooting, thanks to the great sunlight, shadows, and colors of the winter garden!!

I sometimes get the urge to "paint" a scene that my lens has captured not because I believe it needs augmentation but because my mind's eye perceived it in a certain way with a twist of artistic license. I did that here with Oregon's Painted Hills that really need no embellishment whatsoever. I simply wanted to soften the contours a bit while not distorting their shape or colors. A fun little project.

This is how my mind perceived the scene before me, but the camera wasn't exactly seeing it my way! It's funny how the human eye can discern so much more color and light. Perhaps it's just the brilliance of memory or even wishful thinking, but I will always remember this scene this way.

My eye is driving me a little nuts tonight, so I probably won't be on too much tomorrow. I'm working extra time this week anyway, so I'll pop in as I can. I hope everyone has a terrific Monday!
