Not photoshopped. A couple of times in the summer they open up the Winter Olympic ski jump training facility near Park City, Utah for people to slide down and go off the jumps (without skis). You land into a perfectly safe swimming pool, but because you're up in the mountains you can frame the picture so that only the distant valley, mountains and sky are visible in the background. It ends up looking like they're dropping from a plane wearing only a bathing suit. This is my son, I'm perfectly happy to just take pictures from the sidelines

Problème avec Flikr ce soir , vos photos postées ce jour (18/03) ne s'affichent pas . J'espère pouvoir les visionner (et commenter) dès que possible .
This is what I see the last couple of days, my laptop is having a serious problem with internet, hope be back soon!!! Missing flickr!!!
These folks were finished waiting for a bus that appeared would never come, so rather than have their child bake in the desert heat, they called a cab. Sprawl is a harsh mistress.
The biggest problem I faced with these shots was dealing with the car headlights at the turnout where I was shooting. Even after 9pm, a car would park every few minutes, and seem to always point their headlights directly at me and the camera. I had to ask more than one gawker to turn off their lights. I guess a guy photographing the bridge is more interesting than the bridge itself?
A puzzle is a game, problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together (or take them apart) in a logical way, in order to find the solution of the puzzle. There are different genres of puzzles, such as crossword puzzles, word-search puzzles, number puzzles, relational puzzles, and logic puzzles. The academic study of puzzles is called enigmatology.
Puzzles are often created to be a form of entertainment but they can also arise from serious mathematical or logical problems. In such cases, their solution may be a significant contribution to mathematical research.
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the word puzzle (as a verb) to the end of the 16th century. Its earliest use documented in the OED was in a book titled The Voyage of Robert Dudley...to the West Indies, 1594–95, narrated by Capt. Wyatt, by himself, and by Abram Kendall, master (published circa 1595). The word later came to be used as a noun, first as an abstract noun meaning 'the state or condition of being puzzled', and later developing the meaning of 'a perplexing problem'. The OED's earliest clear citation in the sense of 'a toy that tests the player's ingenuity' is from Sir Walter Scott's 1814 novel Waverley, referring to a toy known as a "reel in a bottle".
The etymology of the verb puzzle is described by OED as "unknown"; unproven hypotheses regarding its origin include an Old English verb puslian meaning 'pick out', and a derivation of the verb pose.

Taken on a sunny day in August at Helingham Hall near Stowmarket Suffolk, UK. Shooting midday on a sunny day is always challenging but thier was a wealth of compositions around me and i knew i would at least get one keeper. And this is it. The texture on the bark of this very old pear tree was amazing! its branches perfectly framed the Hall in the background and the small waterway made an excellent leading line. My only problem was depth of field, i couldn't get it all sharp in one image. So i had to resort to focus stacking this image, one set of bracketed shots for the tree bark and one for the Hall in the distance. These then had to be blended by hand in Photoshop to achieve this tack sharp image front to back. I think it was worth all the effort and i am very pleased with the resulting image.
Loosing your grip on reality:
Everyone experiences this. The problem is that the people who are most severely affected are obviously unaware of the fact.
While dreaming, we are obviously not aware of the reality that we are asleep. If that were the case we would be awake. When we wake we often say ‘oh, it was just a dream’, but how do we come to such a realisation?
What would it be like if you couldn't tell the difference?
"People think they're awake when they're dreaming, so wake-dream confusion is universal," says Allan Hobson, a dream researcher and professor in the division of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School. "But some conditions are probably more associated with thinking that a dream was real."
It's common in people with psychotic disorders like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, for whom delusions are a fact of everyday life. "The boundaries between cognitive states are blurry for these people," says Patrick McNamara, a neurology professor at Boston University. "Other studies have found they're often very creative individuals—because they can cross these cognitive boundaries, they're also more vulnerable to these confusion states."
This big problem may relate to a small section of your brain, a fold called the paracingulate sulcus. Studies show that people with a less pronounced fold experience more hallucinations and are worse at identifying imagined and real events.
I often imagine that I know what I am doing - most often I am wrong.
I have sorted the problem out. their was nothing wrong with blouse all along the problem lay with the skirt.
I think the blouse makes a cute mini dress what do you think?

The facial expressions of the short-eared owl would leave one with the impression that they have attitude.
are you here to make your confession, my son?
yes, father. it's my first time. I'm not sure if I can do it.
of course you can. what are your sins, my son?
you promise not to tell anyone?
you can rely on me. in fact, it's nothing personal at all. go ahead, ask me if I care.
you don't care?
whatever you did is definitely not my problem. no way. isn't that comforting?
somehow it's not exactly what I thought.
you see? I knew I could put your mind at ease.
yeah. something like that.

Fellas, there are like 1/2 dozen threads on this topic. The culprit is Android mobile, and the best guess is that Android bots are just going through people's entire libraries. Probably copying every image as they go, but if you're pro and click through to the details of where your pics are coming from, safe bet it's mobile/Android.
Not that you'd ever learn that from someone authoritative like, say, Flickr support....

La Rolleiflex old Standard és un dels models més antics de la famosa família de càmeres de format mitjà. De fet, és la més antiga que es pot fer servir actualment sense problemes, ja que empra rodets de format 120, mentre que la seva predecessora no.
En el seu moment s'anomenà Rolleiflex Standard, i només es passà a coneixer com "Old" Standard amb la logica aparició de la New Standard el 1939.
Aquesta preciositat es fabricà entre el 1932 i el 1938 en tres sub-variants, la 620, la 621 i la 622; la de la foto és una 622 i data probablement del 1936. Encara conserva la coberta doble per als objectius, amb l'emblema del fabricant, Franke & Eindecke, així com del proveidor de les lents, Carl Zeiss (Tessar f3.5 de 75mm).
Robert Capa emprà una Rolleiflex d'aquest model al llarg de la Segona Guerra Mundial, al costat de la més compacta Contax II.

===============================================
The Rolleiflex old Standard is one of the oldest models of the famous family of medium-format TLR cameras. In fact, it is the oldest one that can be used nowadays without problems, as it uses 120 format roll film, while its predecessor does not.
Back then, it was called just the Rolleiflex Standard, and it only became known as "Old" Standard with the logical appearance of the New Standard in 1939.
This preciousness was manufactured between 1932 and 1938 in three sub-variants, 620, 621 and 622; the one in the photo is a 622 and probably was made in 1936. It still retains the double cover for the objectives, with the emblem of the manufacturer, Franke & Eindecke, as well as the lens supplier, Carl Zeiss (a Tessar f3.5 of 75mm ).
Robert Capa used a Rolleiflex of this model throughout the Second World War, along with the more compact Contax II.

I've been studying recent developments in the whole AI/Midjourney technology thing, and discovered a serious problem: some of my images here on Flickr have been used to "train image-generation AI".
There's a site you can use to find out if any of your work has been used to train the Laion-5B and Laion-400M image datasets: haveibeentrained.com I have found my photographs reproduced in whole, clearly without my permission and in violation of my Intellectual Property Rights.
Class Action lawsuits are ongoing to prevent unauthorized use of people's work, because clearly there need to be some rules about what can and cannot be used to train these datasets. You may want to look to see if any of YOUR photos are used in this way.
I'm contacting management at Flickr to find out what my options are. ALL of my images here on Flickr are marked as Copyrighted, and no unauthorized use of them is permitted. I'm curious to see how Flickr responds to this problem. I'm ready to permanently pull the plug on my Flickr account if I am not satisfied with the outcome. @flickr
Until there is some sort of resolution of this problem, either through class action lawsuits or Flickr safeguarding members work from misappropriation, I will only post a blank grey square every day, indefinitely.

Even in broad daylight abandoned vessels give me the willies. I was able to overcome my fear long enough to capture a few images of the ominous hulk of the ghost ship Joker in Willapa Harbor. While I was there I was sure that the slippery dock was going to send me tumbling into the dark waters by the ruined hull or that the mooring lines would coil around me like the filaments of spider web.
Abandoned vessels are a problem in the waterways of Washington state. Michael A. Schueler described the situation in his article 'A Sinking Feeling: The Problem of Abandoned Boats in Washington Waterways." Seattle Journal of Environmental Law Vol. 4 : Iss. 1, Article 8. Available at: digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/sjel/vol4/iss1/8
Schueler wrote:
In 2012, the Deep Sea, a 128-foot vessel known to be derelict, was moved to Penn Cove, Washington, and left to rot near vulnerable oyster beds.
After a few days, the Deep Sea caught fire and sunk, causing significant damage to local wildlife and the local economy, and costing the state millions to cleanup.
The Deep Sea is one of hundreds of boats that have been abandoned in Washington waters and though the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is making some progress in removing derelict and abandoned boats from Washington’s waterways, the progress is slow and cannot keep up with the need, due in no small part to the amount of abandoned boats and the Department’s budget constraints.
Between 2012 and 2014 there has continuously been over one
hundred boats left abandoned or derelict in Washington waters. Should any of these boats sink, these vessels all pose significant environmental risks, due to contaminants commonly found on ships, including excess fuel, lead paint, and asbestos.
Between January 2012 and November 2012, the state removed 23 of the 226 vessels listed on the DNR’s list of abandoned and derelict vessels. In this same time period, however, 18 vessels were added to the DNR’s list. As of publication, 153 vessels are still on the DNR’s list, including numerous ships over 100 feet in length.
The DNR’s Derelict Vessel Removal Program operates on a scant $750,000 budget each year.
Dismantling even one large vessel can cost more than the entire budget. Small fishing ships, among the cheapest of vessels to remove, can still cost between $5,000 and $10,0005 to remove, with one recently costing $7,600 in Gig Harbor.
Assuming each boat’s removal cost is as little as $7,600, the DNR would be able to remove less than 100 vessels a year—less than two-thirds of the currently maintained list of derelict and abandoned ships. However, many abandoned or derelict ships in Washington that are far larger than small fishing vessels and are far costlier remove. Compounding this problem further, many boats removed from the list end up back on the list for a second or third time.
With this budgetary limitation, the DNR will be unable to remove
the existing boats this season, or keep up with the ships added to the list this year, digging the state into a deeper hole and adding additional liability to Washington's economy and environment.
Many of the ships on the DNR’s list are “large vessels” containing
pollutants that can cause significant environmental damage and require significant funding to properly cleanup.
During a flyover of the Columbia River to look into the growing problem of abandoned and derelict vessels, then Governors Gregoire of Washington and Kitzhaber of Oregon noted approximately 40 vessels on the Columbia River between Washington and Oregon.
Of these vessels at least half fall into the category of large ships, “between 100 and 181 feet long.” One of these vessels, the LST-1166 is 373 feet long and would likely require “legislative action” to remove.
Many of these boats contain large amounts of fuel and other environmental pollutants including PCBs, copper wiring, lead paint and asbestos insulation. These pollutants can
cause significant environmental damage if released into the environment and also can cost the state millions in cleanup costs.
For example, the cleanup of the Crocket in 2011 cost the state nearly $24 million in removal and cleanup costs when it was broken apart.
Given its current budget constraints, Washington cannot endure cleanup costs similar to this, especially considering that there may be 20 or more ships that could cost this much. There will likely be more boats abandoned in the coming year as the recession continues, increasing the likelihood of further environmental damage.
As more and more of these ships continue to fall into derelict status and are abandoned, Washington takes a huge gamble in letting these ships sink. Each large ship left unattended could cost the state tens of millions of dollars and poses significant environmental risks to local waterways and wildlife should the vessel sink.

“Wowsers, Sky, what have you been up to? You look shattered.” Asked Bertie as he watched his friend still struggling with a jar of honey.
“I’ve been trying to sort out a problem we have, Bertie. At the moment the problem is winning.”
“Is it anything to do with that jar of honey, and all these tools, Sky?”
“It is all to do with these tools and this jar of honey, plus all the other jars of honey we have in hiding.”
“I borrowed some from Posh rather than start my own honey this morning. I think it was older and I didn’t want his jars to go out of date and then him have to throw it away.”
“That is very good of you, Bertie, to think about Posh’s honey and how bad he would feel having to throw some away. It does not, however, help me to solve this problem any more than all these tools have done.”
“Hello, Bertie, Sky, looks like the man is going to use his picture taking thingy again. What are you doing, Sky?” Asked Posh as he joined his friends sitting down beside them.
“We have a problem, Posh. The people the man buys his groceries from have either changed or they have changed the honey they are supplying. The problem is that I can’t seem to get the top off the jars. I have tried three or it could have been two, I’m not that good at counting, but I do know that I couldn’t get to the honey.”
“I see, yes, it is a different size jar, I can see that. Have you tried the thing that wraps around the top of the jar and sometimes opens it?”
“Of course, it didn’t help. You try and see if you can move it, Posh. You are bigger and stronger than me so you might be able to open it.”
“Very well, you hold onto the jar, Sky, and I’ll try and remove the lid.” Said Posh Bear as he grasped the lid and tried to turn it.
“No, sorry Sky, I can’t move it. We’ll have to come up with another way to open the jar.” Said Posh.
“Can I try, Sky, I might be able to open it for you?” Asked Bertie.
“If Posh can’t open it then I don’t think you’ll be able to, Bertie. I could ask Buttons to open it but he wants to have half the jar every time he opens one.” Said Sky scratching his head with his paw.
“Well, tell him he can’t have half the jar after he has opened it, Sky. Just say that it is wrong to take advantage like that.” Said Bertie trying not to grin.
“Bertie, have you seen the size of that bear? If he says Easter is in December this year, I’m not telling him it isn’t. He is a bit of a grump at any time and anyway, it wouldn’t improve his mood telling him he couldn’t have some honey.” Said Sky now looking desperate.
“Are you sure I can’t try and open it for you, Sky? I wouldn’t want half a jar in payment.” Said Bertie softly.
“I know, Bertie and thank you for your kind offer but I honestly feel that if Posh has tried and I have tried, and failed, then it is going to take someone extra strong to get this open. I wonder if the shop we get our honey from sells a honey jar opener. Maybe that is the answer.” Said Sky slightly brightening up at the idea.
“That would be good long term, Sky, but that won’t help you right now.” Said Posh Bear.
“Thanks Posh, that has really cheered me up. Which school did you go to, to learn such tact and diplomacy? Here comes the man and he is ready for the picture I think.” Said Sky trying to smile and failing.
The photograph taken the bears waited until the man began clear things away before they too started to move. Bertie picked up the jar of honey in his paws, placed it between his leg paws and gripped it tightly then took hold of the lid and twisted. There was a slight hiss, and the lid came off.
“Sky, you need to be careful when you take your jar of honey back as the lid is off.” He said smugly.
“But how, what did you do, how did that…? Stammered Sky.
“It was easy, you just need the knack. Let us go back to your stock and then I’ll show you how it is done on two more jars, one for Posh and the other for me.”
“But, but two jars?” Asked Sky in astonishment.
“Yes, Sky, I think it is about time you began sharing like the rest of us. It is the only way you are going to get any more honey.” Said Bertie firmly.
“I’m going to really enjoy this jar of honey.” Said Posh bear smiling. “A jar of Sky’s honey, that is a first!”
I have a serious problem with Cardinals - whenever I see one I am compelled to take a picture of them. The usual scenario is this: I'm in the middle of tracking another bird that I've been following for countless minutes, waiting for it to show itself. Then along comes this beautiful Cardinal to distract me and it works. Of course as soon as I go to shoot the Cardinal the other bird comes out in the open for a second and naturally I miss the shot. I'm sure the Cardinal knows exactly what it is doing - just look at that expression on his face.
