Secondo me in large ci guadagna!
I met Firas and his wife while they were walking along the canal towpath in Bath. He’s from Saudi Arabia but was actually born in the UK. He works for the Saudi Military and was here on vacation for a few weeks, whilst his children were at summer school in the UK. Firas has a warm personality and we chatted about various things – he had no problem when I asked for a photograph as part of my "100 Strangers" project.. Wearing a white top in unavoidable bright sunlight, I was mindful not to over-expose.
Many thanks Firas for being part of my project to photograph “100 strangers”

Oops. Got a little problem, here. This is a brand new dress, and I didn't realize it had such a full skirt. Look, could you help me out? The door locked on me. I don't want to have to ruin a brand new dress. Could you get the janitor to unlock the door? What's so funny, anyway? Where are you going? No, don't tell anyone else! I don't want all the men to see me this way! Come on! Help me, somebody, please! This is so humiliating.
I have a folder with over 700 landscape photos that have never been seen. The problem is that I horde my work. Decades ago I was so confused by my brother Sam's withholding of his art. Sam created amazing drawings, beautiful pottery and sublime paintings that he was reluctant to show anyone and was hesitant to sell his work even when he had cash offers. Now I do the same. In a small step to remedy that I am unleashing a dozen landscape photographs I've never shared with anyone. Today my photographs, perhaps in a few years I will share my paintings.
The roller coaster at the seaside near me was carrying out maintenance on its roller coaster. The entire amusement park is surrounded by a tall wall topped with barbed wire. It always looks incongruous to me... I always see it as an amusement prison. This is, of course, one of the roller coaster cars and the grey strip is the roller coaster track...although it looks rather like a pole!

Vicente Calderon stadium, July 2019 and March 2014 (Atletico-Español, Liga).
The home stadium of Atlético Madrid since its completion in 1966 to 2017.
Its is being demolished this summer.
The capacity was 55.000.
It was officially opened on the 2nd of October 1966 with a league match between Atlético and Valencia (1-1), though construction of the main stand had not been finished yet due to funding problems.
The stadium was finally completed in 1970, and then counted with a capacity of 62,000 seats and no standing areas, which made Estadio Vicente Calderón the first large all-seater stadium in Europe.
The stadium had initially been called Estadio de Manzaneras, but its name was changed in 1971 in honour of club-president Vicente Calderón, who had overseen the construction of the stadium.
It was selected as one of the playing venues of the 1982 World Cup, during which it hosted three second-round group matches.

El conjunt dels objectius tipus Petzval, tots de bronze. De moment només he pogut fer servir el Derogy, però espero aviat poder emprar el Voigtlander, el Lerebours i el Dallmeyer, tant per plaques de 13x18 com de 18x24.
Es tracta d'un ambrotip en vidre fosc, format 4x5 polzades, realitzat amb una Graflex Speed Graphic, fabricada entorn 1950; objectiu Kodak Anastigmat f4.5; col·lodió Mamuth Liliana, revelat amb Mamuth MD8. He de dir que no estic gens content amb aquest col·lodió, m'ha donat força problemes.
Les plaques de col·lodió es realitzen al moment, cobrint una placa de vidre o planxa metal·lica negra amb col·lodió i sals de cadmi i/o potassi, sensibilitzat amb nitrat de plata. Aleshores s'ha de fer la fotografia i revelar-la en uns 5 minuts, abans no s'assequi la emulsió. És un dels processos fotogràfics més antics del món, inventat el 1851, i que dominà fins el 1880. Però ara ha resorgit, ja que les imatges, molt treballades, que dona són úniques, màgiques i i irrepetibles.

=====================
Those are my brass oldies, all petzvals. By now I could only use the smaller Derogy, but I'm preparing lens boards et al. to use at least the Voigtländer, Lerebours and Dallmeyer.
Ambrotype in 4x5 format, made with a Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic; Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 lens; Mamuth Liliana collodion, developed with Mamuth MD8. I'm not happy at all with this Liliana collodion, has given a lot of problems, like cloudly lines & peeling, even with the developer!
The collodion plates are made covering a glass plate or black metal plate with collodion and salts of cadmium and / or potassium, sensitized with silver nitrate. Then you have to take the photo and reveal it in about 5 minutes, before the emulsion dries. It is one of the oldest photographic processes in the World, invented in 1851, and which dominated photography until 1880. But now it has resurfaced, as the images, very elaborate to create, that it gives are unique, razor sharp, magical and unrepeatable.

Uh oh...Executive Ellen can't get to work until she gets her garage door fixed.
This photo is loosely based on our garage door problem from yesterday. I heard a loud, unidentified noise in the morning. We searched the house but didn't find the problem until we were ready to leave in the afternoon. It turns out that the garage door spring had snapped, making it impossible to open the garage door and get our cars out until it had been repaired. You'd be surprised at how expensive it is to replace a garage door spring - yikes! At least no damage was done and our garage door did not fall off like Executive Ellen's did :-)
A big "Thank You" to the repairman who showed up within 20 minutes, on Labor Day, to fix our garage door :-)
i've been working on her hair for like 3 weeks now, i think i finally got them right ^^
there is still some minor problems..
Absolute first world problems I know, but I had one, just one, of the purple bricks with curved top, so my poor racer is uneven.
Le sigh, off to bricklink I go.
Elephants in the San Diego Zoo have a huge enclosure.
Today, seven elephants live in the Zoo’s Elephant Odyssey habitat. Its features include a state-of-the-art Elephant Care Center, helpful, as the herd is made up of older, non-breeding elephants at this time.
They’re enormous and intelligent, strong and sociable. Humans have been impressed by elephants for centuries, simply because they are so big—a male African elephant can weigh up to 7.5 tons (6.8 metric tons)! They also amaze us with their long and flexible noses, large and flapping ears, and loose, wrinkly skin. There are many stories about elephants—you’ve probably heard of Horton, Babar, and Dumbo. Elephants are one of the best-known animals in the world.
Elephants are large and gray and have big ears and long trunks, right? If all elephants seem the same to you, take a closer look. There are two elephant species that are usually recognized: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. There is some ongoing debate about how many subspecies may exist, or whether some of these might, in fact, be species in their own right. Here are a few ways to tell them apart:
- African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa, both males and females have visible tusks, their skin is very wrinkly, their back is swayed, and the end of their trunk works as if they have two fingers there to help them pick things up. African elephants are the largest mammals on land.
- Asian elephants have smaller ears, usually only the males have visible tusks, their skin is not as wrinkly as African elephants’, they only have one "finger" at the ends of their trunk, and their back is dome-shaped.
Empress and Queenie were the San Diego Zoo’s first elephants, arriving here in 1923 via train from San Francisco. After being led off the train, the two Asian elephants refused to move another step, no matter how much encouragement they received. The Zoo’s founder, Harry Wegeforth, M.D., was there to greet them, and it occurred to him that they were probably used to being ridden, so he climbed up on Empress and another staff member did the same with Queenie, and off they walked from the train station to the Zoo, gathering many astonished looks along the way!
Peaches was the San Diego Zoo’s first African elephant—and she made sure to be a memorable one too. When she arrived in 1953, she was three years old, smart, curious, and, as then ZOONOOZ editor Ken Stott described her, “playful as a quarter-ton kitten.” She had made the journey from Africa to San Diego with keeper Ralph “Gabe” Davis, and they got along famously—at least most of the time. When Gabe gave her breakfast, she would grumble and trumpet at him until he left her alone to eat—apparently, she was not sociable in the morning. She also showed a marked preference for men, even pushing away Zoo Executive Director Belle Benchley when she tried to say hello. Peaches did become more mellow as she grew up, but even as an adult, she still had a way of “flirting” with men while more often than not giving women a cool stare.
Since that time, we've had numerous elephants at our two facilities, and our first elephant birth occurred in 1981. In 1971, Asian elephant Carol became famous by appearing on The Tonight Show with the Zoo’s animal ambassador Joan Embery, to meet Johnny Carson and paint for him while millions watched nationwide!
Elephants have been hunted relentlessly for their tusks (even though they’re made of dentine, the same as our teeth). Elephants are now protected, but poachers still hunt them, and they face other problems, too. Because they are so big and need so much food, they can eat themselves out of “house and home.” Elephants and people often come into conflict as elephant habitats undergo dramatic reductions in size. Asian and African forest elephants are listed as endangered, primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation. African bush elephants are threatened, primarily due to habitat loss and being poached for their tusks.
Elephants Without Borders has been deploying satellite-monitoring collars on elephants throughout northern Botswana since 2000, having tracked over 90 individual elephants; this is one of the longest and largest elephant movement studies in Africa. Every individual pachyderm has its unique character and intriguing story to his or her own seasonal march, preferred routes, and favored places. Each new elephant fitted with a tracking device provides new information to understand the ecology of these animals. Unpredictable individual ranging behavior coupled with a dynamic, ever-changing environment in Botswana underscore the need for long-term elephant studies. The elephants are tracked from a fixed-wing plane, which allows a visual assessment of collared elephants to determine herd structure and habitat use.
Conservation farming project
In collaboration with San Diego Zoo Global, Elephants Without Borders has established a conservation farming project in the Chobe Enclave in Botswana. This project is developing experimental plots with various methods of keeping elephants away from crops, including farming of specific chili species that are thought to be unpalatable to elephants and may deter them from invading crop areas. Along with aerial survey wildlife counts and satellite-collared elephant data, these projects are essential for developing community-based conservation programs to reduce human-elephant conflict and make better-informed conservation decisions for all.

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will phase out the show’s iconic elephants from its performances by 2018, telling Associated Press exclusively that growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision.
Partial flooding at high tide in St Mark's Square. I wasn't high enough to cause major problems, just a few wet tourist's shoes! It got slightly deeper as the water bubbled up though the round drains.
There's an interesting program on BBC iPlayer about the problems faced by Venice and the attempts to resolve them - also showing footage of the terrible storm and flood of November 2019 when apparently more than 80% of the city was underwater.
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001m7p1
To be honest, the square wasn't looking it's best, with parts fenced off where they were doing repairs. During the repair work they also uncovered the remains of an earlier church and burial site, so excavations continue.

A couple more shots of the square in the comment below.
And then, half way through the roll, a problem. Apparently, something went wrong with the film transport, so instead of advancing by at least 25-26 mm after each shot, the film was advanced by only about 4-5 mm, which means that you can see at least 6 individual shot on the one 24x36 mm scan.
I checked afterwards whether there is a mechanical defect in the camera. There isn't - the film winding spool firmly turns and so do the two cogs that advance the film by almost 6 sprockets per lever action, as they should.

Most women complain about boots being too tight around the calves. I have the opposite problem. Because I have big feet for a woman (size 11) and slender AF legs, boots I can find ALWAYS fit me too loosely. I developed a way to tailor them using my serger and as you can see, they fit me perfectly now. If you have the same problem let me know and I can share the technique.

A major problem about posting on Flickr is how little constructive feedback is offered to photographers by the viewers. I know from experience that a lot of members are really sensitive to constructive criticism, which sadly limits their potential to develop their skills. Hence the typical comment "Beautiful image", "Outstanding work", "Awesome", etc. on all images, regardless if good or bad, snapshot or masterpiece.
I am indebted to one of my Flickr friends for suggesting I try a different crop on one of the images I previously posted on Flickr. You can see the previous crop below. I think you will agree that the suggested change made for a much more compelling image. Thanks Robert.
I wish you all well in whatever way is most appropriate for you but cannot take on the extra work of writing it to you individually. Thank you for your good wishes and to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments. Please no more than 1 invite
"OK little buddy, we have a break in the rain. Go potty and poopie. Come on, please. It's day two and I know you can't hold it any longer. I have a nice chunk of rib eye in my pocket. Fine it's the old cheese we won't eat, but you sometimes do. This isn't going to happen is it? You're going to go on the floor the moment we go back in, aren't you? Well I tried and no, you can't have the stinky cheese that's now stuck to the inside of my pocket."
During the last night a temperature low of 5-7C was forecast so the grass frost this morning was quite a surprise for us.
Image taken earlier today at the entrance to our garden. Apricot-shade begonias are still flowering and many dramatic leaf colours of autumn are now arriving. Seasonal colour change in leaves is especially provided by our acers and azaleas and will increase during the next 7-14 days.
We look forward to taking more garden photos during the next few days.
Furthermore we will be delighted to share our garden with visitors when we hold our autumn garden for charity on Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 October 2019 from 10am - 5pm. All funds raised will go to the ngs (National Garden Scheme) charity.
We are proud that in May 2019 we received 1080 enthusiastic visitors during our weekend opening, raising more then £4000 for the ngs charity.
Over the years since May 2006 we have been amazed to welcome more than 15,200 visitors to our garden open days.
Apart from the UK, we have been honoured to receive garden visitors from 41 countries :- Australia, Bahamas, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Eire, Eritrea, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Italy, Jamaica, Luxembourg, Malaysia, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, USA and Vietnam.
We have been working with Macmate on a new replacement website for our Four Seasons Garden. Although work is still in progress in some areas of the new website, we are delighted to announce that new website has now been launched. It has the same URL as our previous website:
Please let us know if you have any problems accessing or using the site or if you have any suggestions about possible further improvements to our site .

Detective peralta walked through the bustling city streets, looking for the man in the white hat, the murderer. The problem was, he had become invisible with all the tourists around. It would be almost impossible to find him, but Peralta kept looking.
Suddenly as Peralta was scanning the crowd he noticed the white hat in the middle. He began speed walking to try and catch up with the man, he had almost reached him when their was a single gunshot. Screams could be heard and when Peralta had noticed what happened, the man in the white hat had vanished.
Detective Peralta had an idea of where the perpetrator had fled to. As he scanned the distance he saw the brim of the man’s hat disappear around a corner. He began to run quickly after the man, finally arriving at a bar full of drunks. He looked everywhere but he could not regain sight of the man who was now proving to be quite the elusive figure. Peralta suddenly felt a prod on the back of his neck, he looked back and to his astonishment there was the man with a gun pointed at him.
The man lead him out into an alley where Peralta suspected he might meet his final demise. Jake readied himself for his fate. Before pulling the trigger of his gun, the man laughed and said “you think you can take me down? you've always been a screw up Peralta!!!!! I realised that the second i met you, Captain Holt didnt see it. But i did. and now he will lose his favourite detective” he then lifted the gun and took aim.
Peralta heard a gunshot and dropped to the ground, screaming in pain "WHY? I WAS TOO YOUNG!!!!! OH GOD PLEASE NO"
Jake then realised he was not bleeding, he looked up to see the very confused face of his partner, Amy Santiago, then he saw the body of the man lying on the ground in front of him.
he then whispered to Amy, "I would appreciate if you didn't tell anyone about my alleyway freakout"....
Amy then smiled and replied with "i'm never dropping it"
I read in USA Today, that second born kids get 3000 hours less one-on-one time with their parents, as compared to first born children...the Boo's answer to the problem is to stay up later than his sis, and get up way earlier...
He's sick today, so I didn't have to trick him into taking a nice little nap...
This Western Scrub-Jay had no objection to me photographing him while he hunted and consumed acorns. But at one point he stopped and gave me a good look over to see if I was a problem or not and then went back to what he was doing; hunting and eating acorns.
I looked for them again this morning but they had not shown yet.
