This summer I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos. I recently got through my initial sifting through my photos and I'm now ready to share some of my favourites.
After nine days at home, making sure my stitches from minor surgery healed properly, an invitation by friends Cathy and Terry to go birding the day before yesterday (7 March 2014) was welcomed with open arms - as it always is! What a great day we had, searching SE of the city, and finding some really neat birds. Most were impossible to photograph because of distance, but also because we had "heat wave" distortion all day long, making it difficult to get photos that were sharp. It was one of THOSE amazing days, out of the house from 7:15 a.m. till about 8:15 in the evening. By the end of the day, we had seen a total owl count of 19, from three species - 8 Short-eared Owls, 8 Snowy Owls, 2 Great Horned Owls and one mystery owl. We couldn't decide if the latter was a Snowy Owl or a Short-eared Owl, as it was perched on top of a metal silo, way off in the distance. In fact, this silo can be seen in my next image - the coloured spots from the sunburst leading ones eye to it. We missed a good photo opp with one of the Short-eared Owls, when we were pulled over, further down the road than several other photographers. We did see one down on the ground near the edge of the road in a different place, hiding in the dried grasses, but, again, my photo is blurry.
The Snowy Owl in the photo above was the closest Snowy we saw. We were driving past a small backroad that had been cleared and, like all the roads, had snowbanks along both sides. These are very uneven, with all sorts of weird and wonderful shapes on the top. Just past the entrance to this road, I looked back slightly and wondered if one of the shapes was in fact an owl. We decided to turn back and check it out, just in case. Sure enough, there was this beautiful, pure white male! Funny, I had even jokingly said that we should find a couple of black pebbles or bits of wood and add it to the snow shape - and then we realized that this "snowman" shape had eyes of its very own, ha!
Also saw a Prairie Falcon perched on top of a metal silo and lots of Horned Larks - the latter constantly in flight or down on the road ahead of us. The "heat wave" distortion made it impossible to get anything but rather blurry shots of these, but I might be able to slightly improve one of them enough to post later.
As you will no doubt agree, it was an amazing day! Thanks so much, Cathy and Terry, for another rewarding day (which had started off rather slowly down in that area). Lots of fun!
Wow, it's supposed to get up to 14C this afternoon! Meanwhile, it is 10C. Temperatures for this coming week are expected to be between +4C and +10C. The following week, the forecast so far is for temperatures just above 0C - with snow.
For many years, I observe this ritual (oviposition of golden-ringed dragonfly) without being able to photograph it properly
This time i was lucky and the result is better but I will try to do even better ;)
Robbe's latest gun reminded me how much fun me n' him used to have with curvy guns.
And I thought to myself "Challenge Accepted"
And thus this monstrosity was born.
(And yes... it is extremely awkward to hold. Don't even try to think of how to comfortably hold it :P unless you retract the stock all the way)
Properly known as The Burnley Embankment, the 'Straight Mile' section of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal is built around 10 metres above the town centre. This was seen as a less-expensive alternative to constructing a series of locks to navigate the changes in height across the town. The normal method would have been for the canal to follow the contours of the land, but in this instance, there were significant objections from local landowners to having the canal traverse their land.

Looking at the wings of a lacewing, it is very easy to understand how it got its vernacular name.
The Swedish name, "guldögonslända" is however equally apt as "guld" menas gold and ögon means "eye".
This particular one was shot at 3:1 magnification using the MP-E65mm while sitting in a Thuja hedge.
HFF!!
Today was my day off so I went to Austin to see the new Library and have lunch with friends. The new library is amazing. Austin has about 8 collages and 2 universities. So, the city asked the colleges with architecture schools to submit suggestions for the library. Well you can image how may were sent in. Also, this was over a 5 year period. Anyway, it looks great. I plan on going back and doing a bunch of shots and hope I can capture it properly. Have a great weekend.
My sweater came in and I'm really disappointed. It's really thin. Probably better to buy clothes from a box store.
It’s all a case of mistaken identity, scientists researching the homosexual tendencies of billions of insects have concluded.
Scientists are now claiming the long observed practice of insects and spiders of the same sex mating is actually accidental, despite up to 85 per cent of male insects engaging in homosexual acts.
Instead the bugs are in such a rush to reproduce - one of the strongest evolutionary drives - they do not take enough time to inspect their potential mate’s gender, often leading to same-sex mating.
The collaborative study, published by Doctor Inon Scharf of Tel Aviv University and Doctor Oliver Martin of ETH Zurich University in the journal of Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology, found spiders and insects have not evolved to properly discriminate in their mating choices.
They reviewed past studies of 110 species of male insects and spiders and found there is almost no evolutionary advantage to insect homosexuality, unlike birds and some mammals.
After nine days at home, giving my 16 stitches from minor surgery a chance to start healing properly, an invitation by friends Cathy and Terry to go birding, on 7 March 2014, was welcomed with open arms - as it always is! What a great day we had, searching SE of the city, and finding some really neat birds. Most were impossible to photograph because of distance, but also because we had "heat wave" distortion all day long, making it difficult to get photos that were sharp.

We did see one down on the ground near the edge of the road in a different place, hiding in the dried grasses, but, again, my photo is blurry.
The beautiful Great Horned Owl, seen in my photo, was the highlight of the day for Cathy and myself! Cathy had spotted it from the road but from the opposite side of the distant barn. All she had seen was a tiny head silhouette with what looked like ear tufts : ) We turned a corner and drove just a little way to see if we could get a better view from the other side. How we longed to be able to get a closer look, but the barn was on someone's private property, of course. While we were there, a truck suddenly appeared around the corner and turned into the driveway of the farm. Needless to say, we (thanks, Terry!) couldn't resist the chance to go and ask the owner about his owl and, wonderfully, he allowed us to walk through his farm yard to get a less distant view. So, Justin, you arrived home "just-in" time for us (Terry's humour)! Thanks so much for happily letting us on to your property. It was so much appreciated. We definitely didn't want to risk disturbing the owl or make it fly - so this is a 48x zoomed image and cropped somewhat. We loved both the owl's pose and the beautiful, red, peeling paint! "Just" a Great Horned Owl, but what a delightful sight!
Also saw a Gyrfalcon and lots of Horned Larks - the latter constantly in flight or down on the road ahead of us. The "heat waves" made it impossible to get anything but rather blurry shots of these, but I might be able to slightly improve one of them enough to post later.
As you will no doubt agree, an amazing day! Thanks so much, Cathy and Terry, for another rewarding day (which had started off rather slowly down in that area). Lots of fun!
Think the focus was off a bit, some of the stars around the edge were decidedly blobby. Either that or the camera wasn't seated properly.

Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew – also known as Saint Peter's Cathedral[1] – the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough, England, and is dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the famous West Front. Founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, the architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. With Durham and Ely Cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration.
I'd had a few beers when I took this and had forgotten to take the lens off manual focus from the previous night's fireworks so it didn't come out as sharp as I would've liked. HDR
Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, and formerly known as Peterborough Abbey or St Peter's Abbey, is a cathedral in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The seat of the Anglican Bishop of Peterborough, it is dedicated to the Apostles Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the West Front. Founded in the Anglo-Saxon period as a minster it became one of England's most important Benedictine abbeys, becoming a cathedral only in 1542. Its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. Alongside the cathedrals of Durham and Ely, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration, and is one the nations best preserved pre-Reformation abbeys.
Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.
I believe that we were all having the same issues with the dastardly panda and hope that it’s going to play by the rules now. A strange title for a photo, but this is taken with the Sony and when used properly, it produces some nice results. This is an adult Tri-colored Heron perched on a branch overhanging Horsepen Bayou.
Also want to add that Delta will be a non-event in our area and will slide off into Louisiana just to the east of us flowing a similar track to that of Laura. Delta doesn’t seem to be as intense and doesn’t seem to be carrying as much rain and so am hoping that the residents of Louisiana will be spared the flooding and extreme winds and damage caused by Laura. No time to let our guard down and we’ll hope for the best for all of those concerned.

The sun properly came out for this walk showing off the autumn colours perfectly. The Druance is a tributary of the River Orne, one of the main rivers of Normandy and finally enters the English Channel near to Caen. I couldn't decide between this panorama of the valley and the next. Which do you think is better?

Exeter cathedral, Devon, UK
Exeter Cathedral, properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral, and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter, in the city of Exeter, Devon, in South West England. The present building was complete by about 1400, and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England. The founding of the cathedral at Exeter, dedicated to Saint Peter, dates from 1050, when the seat of the bishop of Devon and Cornwall was transferred from Crediton because of a fear of sea-raids. A Saxon minster already existing within the town (and dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Peter) was used by Leofric as his seat, but services were often held out of doors, close to the site of the present cathedral building. Notable features of the interior include the misericords, the minstrels' gallery, the astronomical clock and the organ. Notable architectural features of the interior include the multiribbed ceiling and the compound piers in the nave arcade. The 18-metre-high bishop's throne in the choir was made from Devon oak between 1312 and 1316; the nearby choir stalls were made by George Gilbert Scott in the 1870s. The Great East Window contains much 14th-century glass, and there are over 400 ceiling bosses, one of which depicts the murder of Thomas Becket. The bosses can be seen at the peak of the vaulted ceiling, joining the ribs together. Because there is no centre tower, Exeter Cathedral has the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in the world, at about 96 m
Well I was properly embarrassed when I went to resave the edited version of this picture. In the jpg parameters box there is a place to checkmark by the word "greyscale" and under that it reads, "Please remember.: Let this not happen to you.
I give all the credit in the world to girls who know how to properly apply false eyelashes......
For TRP: Plain White
TOTW: Drawn on, although I have not drawn all over my face, I am counting it for the degree of difficulty that I had with these lashes......
Okay, I sucessfully glued my lower lashes to my upper lashes and had to pry them apart. That was not fun. Also I had to take the Kid to work ,and had to drive around my town with these on, because I was not done shooting.
I got these lashes on the clearance rack for .99 cents. I think they photograph well. What perplexes me is who would acutally buy these for use in real life. Well aside from other Flickrites. I asked my kid that question and she responded, strippers. I think the stores should just have a small section of an isle just for 365 props, that would really narrow down my shopping time.
Enjoying finally properly going through all my images from my six month trip around India this time last year. Also enjoying the new dehaze tool on Lightroom, adds a nice bit of colour, and who doesn't need that right now... Taken close to the Taj Mahal in Agra, India.

This is the interior of the Rockingham Church which I showed from the outside yesterday. To capture the light through the windows properly, I did this as an HDR using Lightroom's HDR feature. While I could have achieved almost the same result through a little pushing of a single, well executed RAW image, the HDR version just seemed to be a little bit better in this case.

The following tidbits are excerpted from the Pembroke Library
The Rockingham Church, formerly known as St. Leonard’s Anglican Church, was built in 1875, when the hamlet of Rockingham was a thriving community. Essentially abandoned 60 years ago, the church’s simple grace and imposing location high on a slope overlooking the village attract many visitors each year. A post and beam structure, the building is a unique survivor of its kind in Renfrew County and one of the oldest remaining buildings in the area. In 1999, the Townships of Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan designated the church a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Evidence for the date of construction of the Rockingham Church is conflicting, but The Renfrew Mercury, May 28, 1875, reported:
New Church at Rockingham
The Protestant settlers at Rockingham have, with the assistance of a few kind friends, lately erected a commodious place of worship for the settlement ...
In 1882, the Anglican Mission Board granted $400 to the Bishop of Ontario toward the support of a missionary to be stationed at Rockingham, where there was “a genial society of church members, Mr. Watson and family being among them.” The Rev. A.W. MacKay arrived in early 1882 to take up the position. The Church Warden’s Accounts for the same year record expenses of $391.14 to improve the church with the addition of a porch, communion rail, and organ, most likely to complete it for use as an Anglican mission; at that time it was named St. Leonard’s Church. A stove was added in 1885, and a belfry and bell in 1891.
In 1975 and 1976, a group under the name Madawaska Association for Developmental Ecology (M.A.D.E.) repaired the back wall, reshingled the roof and arranged for the return of the pews. Apart from the visits of tourists, history buffs and artists, the church stood empty and decaying until 1995, when the Friends of the Rockingham Church formed to undertake the present rehabilitation of the building.
Architecture of the Rockingham Church
The church is constructed in conventional post and beam style, with board and batten siding of locally cut pine. The siding is for the most part the original wood, installed in 1875. The old shingles removed in 1974-75 were of cedar—it is hard to believe they could have been original after 100 years, but there is no record in the Church Warden’s accounts that shows earlier repairs or replacement.
The elegant curved pews are original to the Rockingham Church. They were removed to the Quadeville Pentecostal Church in the 1940s and returned in the mid-1970s. The original altar rail and pulpit remain, although the font was moved to the Union Church at Barry’s Bay.
The repairs undertaken in 1999 and 2000 uncovered extensive rot to the post and beam structure within the walls and at the ground, which had caused the increasing sag in the walls and roof. Siding boards were removed and numbered to allow repair and/or replacement of the 8” x 8” beams without disturbing the interior panelling. Rafter ends, too, were rotting where they sat on the wall top plates. These were reinforced with new lumber, unsound roof decking was replaced, and the roof was reshingled in new cedar. The steeple was removed for repairs and reshingling. After much debate, copper was chosen for the steeple shingles for its longevity and its appearance. Repairs were completed in July 2000.
The Friends of the Rockingham Church, Inc.
The Friends of the Rockingham Church formed in 1995, in response to the imminent threat of the church’s demolition. The Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, then the owner of the church, was concerned about the building’s deteriorating condition and applied to the municipality for a demolition permit. Local concerned citizens took action, prevailed upon the Diocese to delay and eventually waive the application. The group incorporated in 1997 and was designated a charitable organization by Revenue Canada. The purchase of the building was finalized in 1998.
The Friends continue to raise funds for the ongoing maintenance and insurance of the building and to support programs to publicize its historical value. Tax receipts are issued for all donations. Cheques may be made out to:
The Rockingham Church is located at the junction of John Watson Road and the Rockingham Road, in the village of Rockingham. From the east (Killaloe or Eganville), turn off Hwy. 512 at Brudenell onto Renfrew County Road #66 (the Opeongo Line). Turn left onto Renfrew County Road #68 (the Letterkenny Road) and follow the signs to Rockingham. From the west (Combermere), turn off Hwy. 62 onto Hwy. 515. Turn left immediately onto Renfrew County Road #68 (the Rockingham Road) and follow to Rockingham.
I never did get a properly lit shot here but at least we did shoot four trains crossing the famous Robert Street Lift Bridge which was one of my goals for my couple days in the Twin Cities. This is the same Twin Cities and Western unit grain train shot moments earlier curling through Westminster Junction. The pair of grubby, faded, tired looking two decade old Union Pacific AC4400s are crossing the Mississippi headed to South St. Paul and handoff back to the UP.
This bridge is officially at MP 529.2 on the State Street Industrial Lead of UP's Albert Lea Subdivision. The bridge still carries the mileposts of its historic owner, the Chicago Great Western Railway which measured distance from Kansas City. At South Saint Paul yard two miles away the milepost becomes 349 as measured from Burlington, IA via the former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. The UP came to own this route in 1995 when it acquired the Chicago and Northwestern which itself had gobbled up the Great Western in 1968 and then later purchased the 600 mile Minneapolis to Kansas City 'Spine Line' from the bankrupt Rock Island's trustees in 1983. The CNW upgraded the route and then abandoned virtually all of the longer former CGW main between those two points.
The 914 ft long span was built in 1914 and is one of the most important pieces of the former Corn Belt Route still in service today. To learn more about this bridge here are a couple links:
www.minnpost.com/cityscape/2021/12/downtown-st-paul-is-li...
And for more on the Great Western itself I highly recommend you find yourself a copy of H. Roger Grant's seminal 1984 work titled 'The Corn Belt Route: A History of the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company'
Beyond the train can be seen the slightly younger Robert Street road bridge dating from 1926. With a total length of 1534 ft its most notable feature is its 264 ft long rainbow arch main span with 62 ft clearance above normal river level.

Well, you've gotta have one of these to properly address shiny, speedy riddles. I've called it "The Rat" because I think it actually looks like a rat sniffing the trail... which kinda fits the whole idea.
–
The Bionicle windscreen provides a generous cockpit which is quickly and easily accessible and fits Batman in normal driving position (I didn't try it, but I think he can even wear the cape without trashing it). I've built most of this one a while back, even before the rat rods I've posted lately, and the "nose" solution (please note, I'm not the first to use it) also provided me with the idea for the prongs of my Falke.
I absolutely love how the canopy turned out - combined with the armored wheels, I think it gives an almost aircraft feel to the whole. Having this developed and work on the Falke makes me think now of a classic shaped Batwing :)

As always, the awesome copper and silver chromed parts come from Auri's store.
The panorama was meant to be wider than this but I didn't overlap properly at the outer edges so they got dropped.
I couldn't convincely clone out the shadow in post processing but I took another set of shots in horizontal format (avoiding my shadow) which I shall post at a later date.
(Note: I think the 17-40L on the 5D probably covers this field of view anyway but I didn't have it with me and there is less distortion at 35mm than there is at 17mm).

Richmond is a suburb and the principal settlement of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south west London, England.
The district sits on the south side of the River Thames opposite St. Margarets, but because of the way the river twists around it, Richmond town is actually north-east of Richmond Bridge. It is very popular in summer with university rowing teams and tourists strolling along the bankside.
Richmond Bridge is built to the designs of James Paine in 1777 to replace an earlier ferry crossing, it was a toll bridge until 1859.
Widened in 1937-39, the bridge connects Richmond town centre on the south bank with its neighbouring district of St. Margarets on the north bank.

"OK? Shoot properly."
Perhaps, the cat says like this.
The weather forecast was cloudy but drizzle is falling,
Besides, there is no streetlight here, it is dark and dark.
Even though it was due to cherry blossoms, everything came too early.
While holding a flashlight and walking along the side of the embankment
There is a crying voice saying "meow".
When turning the flashlight, I turned my eyes and was singing crowning on the levee.
I had secret special negotiation and had some photos taken as the cat moved, so I am busy this way,
I was picking up a picture as I was singing a couple of places a little further apart "mew" in the tree.
The picture that the cat said to be taking properly is too cute, so I will show you this.

St Giles' Cathedral, more properly termed the High Kirk of Edinburgh, is the principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its distinctive crown steeple is a prominent feature of the city skyline, at about a third of the way down the Royal Mile which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. The present church dates from the late 14th century, though it was extensively restored in the 19th century

La catedral de Saint Giles, en español catedral de San Gil o San Egidio (o Saint Giles' Cathedral en inglés), es un edificio religioso histórico, construido a partir del siglo XII, emblemático de la ciudad de Edimburgo (Escocia). Es una de las dos parroquias de la Ciudad vieja de Edimburgo y está considerado como la iglesia madre del presbiterianismo y de la Iglesia de Escocia. No tiene oficialmente el título de catedral por la ausencia de éstas en la Iglesia de Escocia, aunque tuvo ese título en el pasado.

Darchen (4,575 m),more properly known and still signposted as Lhara, was formerly an important sheep station for the nomads and their flocks. Until the late 1980s it still consisted at that time of only two permanent buildings.
One survived the mass destruction of religious shrines during the Cultural Revolution, since it was said to have belonged to the Bhutanese government through the Drukpa Kagyu tradition, Which still claimed jurisdiction over it.
More recently, Mount Kailash has become a popular destination for tourists and trekkers, and Darchen has correspondingly chanced out of all recognition. Sleaze, garbage and prostitution are the hallmarks of this once tranquil pilgrims'trailhead. Consequently many visitors and pilgrimage groups now prefer to camp further west at Darpoche or to stay at Jiu Gonpa beside Lake Manasarovar, and send their guide on ahead to make the final preparations for the circuit of the sacred mountain.

The tower is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistery. The tower's tilt began during construction, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed, and gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Exeter Cathedral, properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral, and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter. The present building was complete by about 1400 and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted medieval stone vaulted ceiling in the world.
The site where Exeter Cathedral was constructed was home to Roman buildings. A legionary fortress was constructed between 50 & 75 AD and a Roman bathhouse was discovered in 1971. The founding of the cathedral at Exeter, dedicated to Saint Peter, dates from 1050.
A misericord (sometimes named mercy seat) is a small wooden structure or sculpture formed on the underside of a folding seat in a church which, when the seat is folded up, is intended to act as a shelf to support a person in a partially standing position during long periods of prayer. Despite being located in churches, it was not considered appropriate for these sculptures to portray religious motifs, as people rested their buttocks against them. As such, misericords portrayed a wide range of subjects from secular life and folklore unrelated to the Bible.
