Explored.. Thank all! Highest position #316 on January 9, 2010
So I picked up another body to go along with my 40d. I purchased a 50d with 300 clicks on it. Not sure if it is a major upgrade, but it definitely has some advantages. Some definitely worth the small upgrade to me..Plus for the price, I couldn't go wrong...
The biggest to me being the LCD screen. Although the same size(3") the resolution is far superior on the 50d. The 40d has a resolution of 230,000dots and the 50d has a resolution of 920,000 dots. It is quite amazing. Especially with the special glare coating put onto the 50d screen. File size is a bit bigger with the 50d being 15.1 megapixels versus 10.1. Another big thing is that the 50d has micro focus adjustment which the 40 does not.
The 40d is an amzing body and many people feel it is better then the 50 and not worth the small upgrades. I will be keeping my 40 for a while till I get some good time in with the 50d. So far I have only taken a handfull of snaps which I have been very impressed with. I will be bringing both bodies with me out to California so I can have one tri-pod mounted for long exposures and the other for handheld sunsets...

America first
German second?
We built a great german wall.
Just built it!
And we made the russians pay for it
So great! I totally love it.
And by the way, when you push the red botton to destroy Germany with nuclear weapons, this is how Germany looks like on map.

German Comedian Launches Global Trump Roast
I was not expecting to pull a bat out of the water today. This little bat was attacked by seagulls then dropped into the river. While I was looking for something to reach it the bat flipped over and started swimming for the dock. I picked it up, it was pissed, and put in in a bucket until after work. I took it to an abandoned building, in safe spot. It was still pissed when i took it out of the bucket. Seemed to be fine, other than bothered.

Tonight the sky colors were especially glorious, and these birds filled the sky with constantly changing density and patterns. Some of these passing Cranes wheel around and drop to join the flock already settled on this shallow lake for the night. In the past, we have captured images of individual Cranes dropping to the pond very close to our position in the east blind. There are three blinds on this lake, and tonight I selected the two on the western shore for nearer vantage to the gathering night-roost birds. (The range has recently cleared brush overgrowth to improve the visual access from these blinds.) Eventually the entire pond space was populated with overnighting birds (both Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese)... they continue arriving long after it's too dark for decent photography.

Very much on the 'to do' list for the AFRPS is the "Hutnik" - an 0-6-0T constructed by Fabryka Lokomotywim "Feliksa Dzierztnskiego" of Chrzanów, Poland. The appearance is similar to the the USATC S100 'USA' tanks which were built for the war effort, but there are some design differences between the two types.
Alongside is Avonside Works Number: 1919, "Cranford". An 0-6-0ST which would be our locomotive for the afternoon part of the Steelworks visit.

Male Cuckoo on top of a dead tree on the other side of the river.
They adopt this wing and body positon when calling 'Cuckoo!'.
Did a bit of research - one study found that male cuckoos adopted a certain posture, wing drooping, and tended to keep their tails up more frequently in areas with the highest versus lowest host nest densities. This is consistent with these behaviours acting as potential signals (to females) codifying information on nest abundance in the area.

Thank you so much for your faves and comment. Invitations and awards are welcome. No glitter images please. Have a nice day :)
Okay I am happy with this one. I used two RGB light tubes and positioned one where I could get some flare using the Helios.

I haven't been really active these days, I'm sorry!!!
This is my first attempt with infrared and sea. It gives an effect similar to the 10 stops ND, plus some nice tonal shifts if you include greens, such as I did in this one.
Thanx a lot for the great appreciation comments for my previous upload!
The shot
This was shot one the little promontory you can see on my last upload.

Now for the real deal. A Metra inbound rolls under the PRR Position Lights at CP Morgan Street, preparing to enter the canyon of skyscrapers that make up Chicago's massive skyline. This was probably one of the most successful shots that resulted from today's expedition into the city.
The Black-crowned night heron is a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world,except in the coldest regions and Australasia. The night heron nest in colonies on platforms of sticks in a group of trees or on the ground in protected areas such as Islands or reedbeds.
Corfe Castle occupies a key strategic position on a chalk mound in the Purbeck hills, just inland from the Dorset coastline.
There has been a castle on the site since 900AD, but the oldest surviving parts of the current structure date back the 11th century when a stone hall and inner bailey wall were built just after 1066, but the castle was captured and destroyed by explosives after a siege during the English Civil War in 1645.
Following the destruction of the castle, the owners chose not to rebuild it but instead built a new house at their other nearby estate in Kingston Lacy, leaving the castle abandoned. The locals took advantage of all the unwanted masonry, windows, doors and other items to build houses of their own in the village!

The Afsluitdijk provides a road link between the provinces of Friesland and North Holland. Since North Holland was part of Vesting Holland ("Fortress Holland"), the national redoubt of the Netherlands at the time, and control of the sluices in the Afsluitdijk was necessary for planned defensive inundations in case of a military invasion, Kornwerderzand was considered strategically important by the Dutch government. From 1931 onwards, fortifications consisting of seventeen casemates and three bunkers were constructed. The position was manned with approximately 220 troops in 1939.
During the German invasion of the Netherlands in World War II, the Kornwerderzand position was defended by Dutch troops. On May 13 and May 14, 1940, the fortifications were attacked by the German first Cavalry Division, while the Luftwaffe attacked supporting Dutch naval units. The German troops, initially lacking support by heavy artillery, were unable to take the position. The fortifications also withstood attacks by dive bombers. The next day the Dutch military in the Netherlands (except for the province of Zealand) surrendered, and the battle ended with the surrender of the position.
In 1943, the occupying German military improved the defenses by building three additional bunkers.
Nowadays, some of the fortifications can be visited as part of the Kazemattenmuseum ("casemate museum").
On the side of a huge square rock on Breakwater falls is this rock cap fern just clinging to life. It's only a couple inches wide. Check out that all the fronds are producing spores - I guess when under pressure, life goes all out!
We weren't very well positioned for fly over photos, but managed to get a few keepers.
Lead aircraft is a C135 from ERV 4/31 Solonge, followed by three Mirage 2000 Ds from the 3e Escadre de Chasse, and a single Mirage 2000 C, from EC 2/5 Ile de France.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Al sector de Els Barrancs, entre Vilalba dels Arcs i La Pobla de Massaluca, s'ha rehabilitat un sector del front republicà. Tota aquesta part de la linea al nord de Vilalba no va patir cap ofensiva feixista en tota la batalla, i fou abandonada els darrers dies per retirar-se cap als ponts de Riba-roja i Flix.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
North of Vilalba dels Arcs there's a sector of the Republican frontline that has been cleanded and restored; it's called Els Barrancs. All the Ebro front from Vilalba dels Arcs to La Pobla de Massaluca and up to the river was a quite inactive one, and stod fixed from the 26th of July to the early days of November, when the Republican forces withdrawed towards the Ebro bridges of Riba-roja and Flix.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.
