Same procedure as last week... I wasn't really happy with any of my images, and took several more (of the same subject) today, but in the end I decided to stick to an image taken last night. It's strange sometimes, isn't it? So here we go, circles, or rather holes of a reduction sieve (?) that came with my espresso maker. Each of the holes has a diameter of 1 mm / 0,03 inches. I wanted a very narrow focal plane and everything else as bokeh, and in that I guess I've succeeded – somehow. Well, I hope you like the image anyway, I've looked at it too many times yesterday and today, so I can't see the forest for the trees (or the coffee for the holes) :)
It's a single image illuminated with one LED lamp (equipped with the blue tealight holder), and backlight coming from another LED lamp (equipped with the yellow plastic bottle cap) on which I had also placed the sieve. Processed in DXO and Color Efex where I'd slightly tweaked the colours by adding some warmth with the Reflector Efex Gold filter.
HMM, Everyone!
...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark
Something is going wrong when the camera with its impressive algorithms and countless AF options forces itself into the centre and, hence, between photographer and object. Ideally, I would think, we photographers ought to use the camera as if it was not there. Just focussing on the composition and the 'essence' of the object and having the settings run in the background. I am not advocating 'point and shoot', I am saying that a camera should be built in such a way that we can 'forget' about it and focus on taking the picture. I think my older cameras do that. My newer ones are much more sophisticated and what they are increasingly trying to do is take over decisions I could make myself. What is my reaction? Number one, I prefer using my older cameras. And two, when using my sophisticated ones, I turn off a lot of their computer-powered procedures. I wonder what you think.

The past few years our state of California has suffered massive fire tragedies caused by utility power lines.
I am hearing that preparations to prevent fires this coming fire season are being impacted by the pandemic, and the usual procedures to defend ourselves during wildfires (receiving reinforcements from outside the state, healthy firefighters living together in close quarters in stations and firecamps, etc., etc.) are in doubt.
“We’re Here!” realizing that perhaps Modern Life is Crap!
The same procedure as last year, Katrin ?

MÁV-Start launched its public procurement procedure for 115 new electric locomotives in February 2020. The result was announced two years later, in 2022, and the winner was Siemens with its Vectron locomotives. The contract was signed in the same year. But in May of the following year, Lázár János, Minister of Construction and Transport, cancelled the order for political reasons, and the government no longer expects Siemens to help with the renewal of their locomotive fleet. As is known, the expansion of the Paks nuclear power plant is currently underway, the control system of which was to be supplied by Siemens, but the German government did not give permission to the Siemens company to participate in the project with Russian participation due to the invasion of Ukraine. Then the twist came in 2023, when MÁV announced: they will lease 24 piece of Siemens ES64U2 locomotives from Akiem through MÁV Rail Tours, and by the end of 2024, there was growing talk that the railway company had not given up on Vectrons, however, not by purchase, but by renting. The numbers were about 20-30 pieces and ELL was chosen as the lessor by MÁV officials. The first locomotives (193 210, 193 214, 193 216, 193 227, 193 230, 193 723) arrived in Hungary in the second half of January 2025, where they received the current State Railways livery and were prepared for passenger services. On February 2025 the locos were put into service, mainly on the Budapest - Miskolc and Budapest - Békéscsaba lines. The picture shows the 193 214 running between Mende and Sülysáp stations (HU) on 17 February 2025, with the IC 78 “Muntenia” from Bucharest to Budapest.

This is the statue on top of the Court House in Georgetown, Texas. I searched the Internet to find out more about her. Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods. Interestingly, the blind fold and sword weren't added until around the 16th century. I couldn't find out what the blindfold represents. Here's some info from Wikipedia

Statue of Themis, Chuo University, Japan.
The personification of abstract concepts is characteristic of the greeks.|date=October 2015}} The ability of the goddess Themis to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the Oracles of Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.
Some classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded, nor was she holding a sword. The sword is also believed to represent the ability Themis had from cutting fact from fiction; to her there was no middle ground. Themis built the Oracle at Delphi and was herself oracular. According to another legend, Themis received the Oracle at Delphi from Gaia and later gave it to Phoebe.[4]
When Themis is disregarded, Nemesis brings just and wrathful retribution; thus Themis shared the Nemesion temple at Rhamnous. Themis is not wrathful: she, "of the lovely cheeks", was the first to offer Hera a cup when she returned to Olympus distraught over threats from Zeus.[5]
Themis presided over the proper relation between man and woman, the basis of the rightly ordered family (the family was seen as the pillar of the deme), and judges were often referred to as "themistopóloi" (the servants of Themis). Such was also the basis for order upon Olympus. Even Hera addressed her as "Lady Themis." The name of Themis might be substituted for Adrasteia in telling of the birth of Zeus on Crete.
Themis was present at Delos to witness the birth of Apollo. According to Ovid, it was Themis rather than Zeus who told Deucalion to throw the bones of "his Mother" over his shoulder to create a new race of humankind after the deluge.
Hesiod's description and contrast to Dike[edit]
In Greek mythology, Hesiod mentions[6] Themis among the six sons and six daughters of Gaia and Uranus (Earth and Sky). Among these Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times.
Themis occurred in Hesiod's Theogony as the first recorded appearance of Justice as a divine personage. Drawing not only on the socio-religious consciousness of his time but also on many of the earlier cult-religions, Hesiod described the forces of the universe as cosmic divinities. Hesiod portrayed temporal justice, Dike, as the daughter of Zeus and Themis.
Dike executed the law of judgments and sentencing and, together with her mother Themis, carried out the final decisions of Moirai. For Hesiod, Justice is at the center of religious and moral life, who, independently of Zeus, is the embodiment of divine will. This personification of Dike will stand in contrast to justice viewed as custom or law, and as retribution or sentence.[7]
Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal is a sacred place of immense Hindu spiritual energy located on the banks of the holy Bagmati River. It is often regarded as the Nepali equivalent of Varanasi on the River Ganges. One notable aspect of this place is the open-air cremations that take place at the river's ghats. Despite the river's pollution, the site holds great sanctity. The cremations are conducted with a sense of professionalism, efficiency, and adherence to established rituals and procedures. However, within this businesslike approach, poignant moments of intense emotions are not uncommon - Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal
🇫🇷 Suivant la procédure habituelle des Seldjoukides, une basilique chrétienne sur le site fut convertie en mosquée après la capture de la cité en 1080.

🇮🇹 Seguendo la consueta procedura selgiuchide, la basilica cristiana presente sul sito fu convertita in moschea dopo la conquista della città da parte dei turchi nel 1080. Gran parte dei materiali da costruzione e delle sculture architettoniche furono prelevati dalla basilica e da altri monumenti bizantini nelle vicinanze.
Nel 1219 fu importante ricostruirla.
Il minareto e il mihrab in marmo risalgono all'Impero Ottomano (1891).
Il cortile della moschea comprende due mausolei monumentali.
Il primo è una tomba decagonale con il tetto a forma di cono, luogo di sepoltura della dinastia selgiuchide che ospita i sarcofagi di otto sultani di Rûm.

夫婦で営む寿司店で，大阪寿司をいただく．地域で愛されてきたお店だけど，最近はTVやSNSで紹介されて，遠くから訪れる人も多いそう．
Now there are not so many sushi restaurants even in Osaka area where we can enjoy sushi in Osaka style, because they need more procedures in making them.
Same procedure as last time. Still going through the archives and still finding images worth processing. Again a first version, tomorrow or at the weekend I'll take a final look and do a print to see if I need to refine.
This year we went to the same place but the light didn't come close to what I saw that morning, one year ago. I will try again next year :-)
cheers
Edit: fixed the saturation a bit. Now it's more natural I think
The tours are well organized and prepared for emergencies. They have procedures to evacuate tourists for emergencies or klaustrophobic anxieties. They DO NOT ALLOW tripods, monopods, or selfie sticks. They have apparently had problems with tourists.
This is an amazing place. Very tight canyon. Every turn shows a new amazing, colorful, glowing, canvas. It was easy to take lots of photos. The tough part was culling the photos when I got home.
There were 9 people (representing 4 families) and a guide in our group. The tours are a little under an hour from start to finish. We were the first of 4 or 5 groups in our time slot. The sent us in about 10 minutes apart. The guide is very informative and educational. There was some pressure to keep the group moving. The guide was helpful and took pictures of the families several times during the tour.

The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdez twazi’, which means “the spiral role arches.” Lower Antelope Canyon is about 3,704 feet in elevation and the canyon walls are about 120' above the streambed. This canyon is more narrow to walk through, as it’s shaped like a “V”, so if you are claustrophobic this area is not for you. It goes into the slot canyon and have to maneuver thru closely on stairs, which is harder to walk through. This area is also located within the Le Chee Chapter of the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona.

Clarification: Effectiveness of procedure for pacification purposes when performed on non-organic subjects can be... questionable at best.
Still crawling to the finish. A rather large machine that has experienced some trauma around the torso. It will probably be fine though.
The fact that I still had Metru Matoran limbs after this baffles and irritates me. I don't even know where I got all of them from at this point. Either way, was just a fun build from early last year that I used to try out some things I hadn't tried before; mostly using limb pieces to create paneling of sorts. Also just a fun idea for me, I don't think I've ever intentionally built an unfinished character before so it was neat.
