Update 1.9.14: A question: What is your opinion of above picture? I posted this couse I know the place and therefore there is a special feeling. Technically it's not to consider good but I wonder do think as I do that there is a special feel? Or not? Please be honest!!!

Κατά τύχη είδα σε κάποιο κανάλι ένα αφιέρωμα στον “Μύλο των ξωτικών”
Ακούγοντας την χαζοχαρούμενη διάθεση κάποιου “υπευθύνου” να δηλώνει ότι εφέτος προσδοκούμε να ξεπεράσουμε τον περσινό αριθμό των 1.200.000 επισκεπτών(!!!),μου γεννήθηκαν κάποιες σκέψεις τις οποίες θα μεταφέρω γνωρίζοντας ότι ρίχνω λίγες σταγόνες στον ωκεανό του διαδικτύου:
1)Τελικά είμαστε παντοιοτρόπως ΝΟΥΜΕΡΑ
2) Το περίφημο αυτό “θεματικό” πάρκο τι ΘΕΜΑ έχει;
3) Αν έχει πάντως τα Χριστούγεννα,είναι καταφανώς εκτός θέματος εφόσον τίποτα απολύτως σ’αυτό το καταναλωτικό κιτς συνονθύλευμα δεν έχει την παραμικρή σχέση με την έλευση του Χριστού στον κόσμο μέσα σε άκρα ταπείνωση και φτώχεια.
4) Όλες οι ανά τους αιώνες δικτατορίες την ίδια αλάνθαστη μέθοδο ελέγχου των μαζών
(και όχι βέβαια συνειδητοποιημένων λαών) χρησιμοποιούν: “άρτο και θεάματα”
By chance I saw on a channel a tribute to "The Elf Mill".
Hearing the cheerful disposition of a “manager” to say that this year we expect to surpass last year's 1,200,000 visitors (!!!), I have some thoughts to share that I know will throw a few drops into the internet ocean:
1) Finally we are all numbered
2) What theme does this famous theme park have?
3) If it is Christmas anyway, it is obviously out of the question since nothing in this consumer kit patch has anything to do with Christ's coming into the world in extreme humility and poverty.
4) All dictatorships over the centuries have the unmistakable same method of controlling the masses
(and not of course conscious peoples) use: "bread and spectacles"
The story of the very important industrial heritage monument has been mentioned in a previous post

Sur le sentier, ce jour-ci ,lorsque les touristes parlent français ce sont surtout des Canadiens.L'un d'entre eux après m'avoir questionné interpelle ses amis en disant" Vous vous rendez compte , ce Monsieur a 86 ans .....(presque).....!!!!!
🇬🇧 From left to right on the crest: Imérovigli and Firostefani.and Fira
On the trail that day, when the tourists spoke French, they were mostly Canadians: one of them, after asking me a few questions, shouted to his friends: "Can you believe it, this gentleman is 86 years old ....
🇬🇷 από αριστερά προς τα δεξιά στην κορυφογραμμή: Imérovigli και Firostefani.
Στο μονοπάτι εκείνη την ημέρα, όταν οι τουρίστες μιλούσαν γαλλικά, ήταν κυρίως Καναδοί: ένας από αυτούς, αφού μου έκανε μερικές ερωτήσεις, φώναξε στους φίλους του λέγοντας: «Το πιστεύετε, αυτός ο κύριος είναι 86 ετών ....
🇩🇪 von links nach rechts auf dem Kamm: Imérovigli und Firostefani und Fira.
Wenn die Touristen an diesem Tag Französisch sprechen, dann sind es vor allem Kanadier, und einer von ihnen ruft, nachdem er mich gefragt hat, seinen Freunden zu: „Vous vous vous rendez-vous compte , ce Monsieur à 86 ans ....
🇪🇸 De izquierda a derecha, en el monte: Imérovigli y Firostefani y Fira
Si los turistas que están de ruta hoy hablan francés, son sobre todo canadienses. Uno de ellos, después de preguntarme, me dice a mí y a mis amigos: «Imagínate, este señor tiene 86 años...

Quel giorno, sul sentiero, i turisti parlavano per lo più francese e, dopo avermi fatto qualche domanda, uno di loro ha chiamato i suoi amici dicendo: “Ci credete che questo signore ha 86 anni?

Spring is in the Air! My first butterfly capture of 2023. This Question Mark flitted around to several spots before I was able to get a nice angle shot.
Johnny Thunder just found a big hole in the ground. Is it a tunnel where pirates hid their treasure? Is it a secret passage to ancient castle? Is it someone's home, sweet home? Very giant someone, probably dangerous...
Oh wow, I took this picture one year ago, and yesterday was the last visit to that area to took the things I forgot and/or left intentionally on the day of moving. *sigh* I loved this place, I wish I wouldn't put off some of my plans to explore the area more. Two and a half years and never found spare money for a hot chocolate in the cafe across the street?! Two and a half years, but I found the most beautiful route in the forest only when I already knew I have to leave?! Two and a half years, but never walked my PC Lego car on those beautiful pavements?! Two and a half years, and still no picture of my giant T-Rex with a fence, because I never had time?! Oh, come on, I am a dictionary definition of delayed life syndrome!
Anyway, I saw that hole in the forest. I think a mouse lives there, I hope it wasn't too stressed out because a curious human shined a flashlight in the hallway. xD Well, their tunnels are long and complicated, so it probably didn't even saw the light, but it probably heard my footsteps above.
I wanted to show Johnny's face, but the soil was too soft and it was tricky enough to place him and avoid falling down...
P.S.
IMPORTANT QUESTION -
Do you see my pictures in your activity feed or in the groups only? Or do you check my profile specifically (like I do with others)?
It seems there is an issue with my pictures in the feeds since July, I contacted the support and they did something, I need to know if the issue is resolved or is it still there. Thanks in advance!
Why go to school if you won't listen to the educated? I thought that was an excellent question.
I continue to be disappointed that children in the Untied States remain relatively silent while children in Europe are fighting for our existence. That is one of those things that clearly shows how manipulated we are.
Fantastic Friday to you my friend.
So the real question on this monkey post is why?
I was going to use it for the Macro Monday Ceramic theme from a couple of weeks ago but it exceeded the size specification of 3 inches ( it measured out at 4.75 in. tall by 2 in. deep) and I didn't like it cropped. The monkey was pretty excited about being featured on flickr and you can only imagine his disappointment when he got wind that I used the Hummel instead. I didn't want to [...bear a monkey...] as the expression goes even if it was my fault the next morning after a good bit of drinking so I felt it best to show him off here.
Ceramic lid from a German 2l stein that I received from an uncle who brought it from Germany around 1900. It's manufactured by Matthias Grimscheid, Mold #1199. It's a big stein so the wording is most appropriate: “Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld, an dem bist du nur selber Schuld.” (Bear your monkey with patience, it is your own fault.)

Question:
Is model release needed from the person captured in street shots which are not used commercially?
There was a street shot posted by my nephew: HERE. The person captured in the photo was pretty furious with that post and requested to have it removed from his Flickr site.
My nephew has removed it from his photostream out of respect for her.
I hope to take this opportunity to seek your opinion about our right in terms of photographing human subject on the street.
What do they call that guy who hangs off the side of the boat?
Oh, yeah. Bait.

There is no question that southern Ontario has been pretty chilly as of late, but that is no reason to hunker down in your house! I did find my way up to Bruce Peninsula on a particularly brisk day last week, and as usual the park was a stunning winter wonderland! Get those snow shoes out and dress warm!

Today I will answer the most popular questions. And if you do not find your question in the list, write in the comments 💬 I will be happy to answer everyone.
⠀
Where is the best place to hold a photo shoot?
Places for a photo shoot are always discussed and selected exclusively from your wishes. For bad weather, you can always use a photo studio.
Do you
give clothes for a photo shoot?
I do not provide clothing, but I can help you choose the necessary option.
⠀
We are not models, do you help on the shoot?
Of course😉. I always tell you how best to put your foot, hand, and where to look after all. You don't have to worry. The main task for you is to relax, and I will also help you with this.
⠀
When will we get our photos?
It all depends on the workload of me, the photographer. But usually I always say срок when the photos are ready.

Well, strictly speaking this scene is a sunset, so one could question the title and the attached meaning... But it was a radiant Umbrian sunset just after a long, powerful thunderstorm, so I will stick to my idea.
As the WHO has declared the state of pandemic Covid-19 is spreading everywhere and is reaping its dreadful harvest, bringing whole nations and economies to their knees. Believe me, it is even possible that the darkest hour is still to come. But I think that this incredible planetary experience has the potential to change our way to live. We have taken for granted too many beautiful, precious things (and beware, when you take something for granted you are lessening it). This humble, unaware virus is teaching us values we had drowned in our running digital hedonism - solidarity, self-sacrifice, collaboration. It is teaching us the fundamental value of truth and of scientific research. It is reminding us that we are just a small part of a wonderfully complex world - and that we are not nearly as powerful as we like to think to be. After all, the immediate means to limit infection are exactly the same as they were for the epidemics of the past - quarantine, avoiding close contact with one another, clean your hands frequently, limitations to gatherings, public events, and so on (and everything is worsened and sped up by our global network of transportation). On the other hand science, unavoidably, needs time to find real solutions. So we are experiencing a new sense of being frail - something we used to think of as a relic of the past.
I believe that this pandemic will change everything, more than a war: this is not an enemy endowed with evil projects for mankind but, rather, a natural phenomenon which is putting us in the right perspective in the world. So I believe that this pandemic will change everything. But, in the meantime, we have to manage to get out of these dark times. I would like to dedicate this photo to the people who are suffering because of this ordeal, and to the heroic people who is wrestling with the effects of the infection*: my humble contribute to remember that the darkest hour - whenever it will come - is just before the dawn.
* Sadly in Italy we have seen a growing trend of threats and assaults to physicians during the last years. Many people doubted the good faith of physicians, scientists and medicine in general. I'd guess that this tide is quickly changing.
This photo is closely related to my A neverending story. To be precise, it has been captured some 5 minutes earlier. This view, however, is somewhat narrower and, after a bit of cropping in the foreground, lays a greater emphasis on the glorious cloudscape.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. RAW files has been processed with Darktable.
A good contribution to the post-processing of part of the foreground came from a cool trick by Boris Hajdukovic I have found rather serendipitously on the web. I have cloned out an obnoxious young olive tree at the center of the foreground dancing a bit too freely in the residual wind.
I am afraid that colours and tones of this picture might be pretty close to the edge of looking overdone (this seems to be an inherent feature of the bracketings I captured of this sunset, since I always post-process from scratch). It all depends on your screen, of course: the picture looks safely good my HP screen, but I am afraid that it can easily look a bit over-the-top on other screens.
Now we know that a picture cannot possibly look right on every screen - the factors affecting the results are simply too many, including largely unpredictable ones, such as personal display settings. Admittedly one should not think too much about this, but when a photo is close to the critical boundary one should struggle to find the better balance between what she would like the photo to be and the risk of looking overdone. Since this photo is important to me, I would be grateful for comments about this matter, to help me realise if I have to downtone it :-)
Thank you very much in advance!
I really want to make X-Men related figures & I'm wondering how I should do these two characters. If I do a big fig, will it be too big? But I feel if I do it like a regular minifigure, it'll be too small, & I really don't want to do the
Whenever I dig into my old stuff the question always creeps into my head, "What would I tell that kid if I could tell him anything?"
You are going to do OK for yourself but in a quiet, unspectacular way. He (I) already knew that. In fact I took that for granted.
You are going to lose people that mean the world to you and you will never stop grieving for them. I knew that too ( we all do ) but I would have never admitted as much, preferring to only recognize those bitter truths as I was being run over by them.
I suppose I couldn't resist giving some sage advice but I wouldn't listen to myself. I remember making a point of not acting on good advice when dispensed by anyone professing to know what life was really about.
All in all it's a good thing time travel isn't possible. Aside from being freaked out by my wrinkly old self showing up to tell me crap I knew but didn't have the courage to act on, I would have been angered that all the suspense and mystery had just been taken out of life. For all the effort that goes into fiction about jumping back or ahead in time I think it is good that we have to crunch along alone without the aid of a nebbish future self showing up every so often to whine and moan about how I'm so lacking in ambition. I'm peeved at myself right now just for thinking up the thought of it.
I first put this together in 2012. Today I thought about it and made an effort to find the original images. 1974 was taken with a Canon F1 and a 50mm f1.4. 2012 was taken with a Pentax K10D and the 18-55 kit lens. In 2012 I used Gimp to stack the images. This time around I used Affinity Photo.
