I think my hallmark/trademark might be that I see more beauty in things than others, and I can never pick my favorite shot! For instance, as the sun set over the San Clemente Pier, I loved all the light!

Celebrating Dr. E's LAw of Moving Dimensions ^& Dynamic Dimensions Theory dx4/dt=ic which derives from Homer's Odyssey! "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them." --Homer's Odyssey! herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

I am a huge fan of the All Access Ship Tour and this was the second time I have done this. I will definitely do it again. We had the Tour on February 20th, 2020 and Tyler (a member of the Shore Excursions Team from Canada) was a great guide. We all wore earpieces to hear the speakers at every stop. Here is the description of the tour: "Discover the answers to a question we get asked on every voyage, “How does a ship so big run so smoothly?” Find out on a behind-the-scenes tour that reveals the technology, teamwork, and tons of supplies that go into creating your Celebrity Cruise. Start in the Main Dining Room with a little hands-on lesson from the staff, and then, visit the Main Galley to see how our culinary team artfully prepares about 25,000 meals for our guests and crew each and every day. It’s an impressive achievement, especially when you think about all the exotic flavors you get to enjoy in Modern Luxury style aboard your Celebrity Cruise ship. Next up, pop into provisioning for a jaw-dropping look at the sheer volume of ingredients it takes to make it all happen. Here’s a little preview. We go through roughly 8,500 lbs of watermelon on every cruise. Not to mention, 10,000 bananas and 32,000 potatoes (give or take a few). Continue to the Engine Control Room, where expert engineers monitor the ship’s engines and onboard machinery - 24/7. You’ll learn how the engines do more than turn the giant props. They power all our onboard systems, including air-conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing and many others. This is the heart and soul of the cruise ship and you’ll enjoy a rare up-close look at how it operates. Afterwards, go for stroll down I-95, the “main highway” for the crew. It runs down the center of the ship and is named after the longest highway on the U.S. East Coast. Your next stop is Laundry, where thousands of items are cleaned and crisply folded every day– napkins to linens to beach towels. Marvel at massive machines that can hold 264 lbs. of laundry in every load. To put that in perspective, it’s like doing 14 loads of laundry in your machine at home all at once. The tour concludes with a real treat – a visit to the Bridge, where all the ship’s onboard systems are controlled. Step up and witness advanced navigation and communications equipment in action, and scan the sea from the same vantage point your Captain uses to chart the way. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to run a cruise ship, this inside access tour provides plenty of answers, great insight, and a whole lot of excitement." On board the Celebrity Equinox for Seth's Big Fat Broadway Cruise from February 15th to the 22nd, 2020. The itinerary includes stops in San Juan (Puerto Rico), Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands), Tortola (British Virgin Islands), Nassau (Bahamas) before returning to Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). The best part is that we are on Seth's Big Fat Broadway Cruise again!

Next question was "should I stay or should I go?". Again, I decided to stay, principally to see 66055 on the 4O11 East Usk-Onllwyn empty coal train. With coal trains generally (or a freight with the infamous HTA wagon in what was previously a prime coal territory) becoming more and more sparse, a shot had to be recorded. After 66055 ran up light engine earlier, I had a good instinct 4O11 would run and thank goodness it did otherwise I would have seriously regretted my previous judgement to stay!
So, I'm super excited because I'm actually going to submit a few prints to the Orange County Fair this year! What do you suggest I submit?!? Please post your favorites below!!!
THANKS Y'ALL!!!

How many wings does an Angel have?
This was a question on QI a few years back, and the answer isn't necessarily two.
"Archangels have two wings , Cherubim, Have 4 wings, Seraphim have 6 wings"
But that depends on your theology.
Michael the archangel is likely the head of all the holy angels, and his name means "who is like unto God"
So, here is Michael, one pair of wings folded at his sides, and the second (and maybe third) partially unfolded over his head.
It is the weekend, and thoughts turn to what to do with our spare time.
It is warmer, slightly, but the wind is stronger, so feels colder. So, as I said, aimless wandering round shops and such in Whitstable might not be a good idea.
And the back up plan of going to Walmer Castle was also out as it is closed due to major repairs to its roof about to begin.
We are not short of castles round here, so there is another in Deal, so we'll go there, and on the way we can stop at Ringwould for the church.
So, after coffee and shopping at Tesco, and then breakfast, load the car with camera and lenses and make the short drive to Ringwould.
Two wardens inside, made us welcome as they cleaned and hoovered the church.
I was only here really for close ups of the windows, so got snapping once I had answered all their questions.
The plan, as I said, had been to go to Deal Castle, which is what we did.
Deal Castle is fabulous, and a place we have only visited once, but upon arriving we found the car park, while not quite full, but due to bad parking, no room for our car.
We decided, instead, to go home via Dover so Jools could get some wool for her blanket, and once home feat of bacon butties.
Which is what we did.
I waited outside the wool shop while she got two balls of yarn, then back home up Jubilee Way to home, and an early lunch or brunch.
Wind is building, gradually, through Saturday and Sunday to another named storm, our 8th of the winter, on Sunday night, with a high risk of damage to property possible.
So, we went inside, locked the door and didn't go out again.
Over the afternoon, I followed Norwich as usual, this time playing WBA, and despite not having much of the ball, we created lots of chances and ran out 2-0 winners, so there is hope. And in sport it is hope that hurts
We shall see.
Pizza for supper, and the evening game while we listen to funk and soul. While outside the wind howled, and will get only worse.

Standing on high ground in a manicured churchyard, St Nicholas is full of interest. Its 17th century tower is a pleasing mixture of flint and stone and is capped with a jaunty cupola - quite an East Kent feature (see also Sandwich St Peter and Woodnesborough). The interior is an odd shape as the tower fills the west end of the nave and the 14th century north aisle runs along its north face - not odd when ones thinks of the chronology but definitely odd to the casual visitor. The nave is dominated by the rather crude three bay arcade to the north aisle dating from the 14th century, whilst the chancel is crammed with tablets to 18th and 19th century residents, particularly the Monins family who are still Patrons of the living. On, of 1806, is signed `Bacon Junior`. Two of the north chancel windows retain their original stonework. Opposite is a simple double sedilia whose arches are dissimilar - that to the east having a nicely shouldered arch whilst its companion is severely plain. There is some fine stained glass (although the best representation of St Nicholas with the boys in the tub is under the tower and difficult to see). A more modern representation of the Patron Saint is in the north aisle accompanied by St Francis, whilst nearby are the rarely portrayed Lois, Eunice and Dorcas. The stonework of this window is Victorian and tries to make a statement although, in reality it cuts out the central light. All in all a most pleasant and welcoming church.

RINGWOLD,
OR as it is now usually called, Ring jole, lies the next parish to Walmer, southward; being written in antient records, Ridlingweald. It has been, as well as the ville or hamlet of Kingsdown, within the bounds of it, long since esteemed part of the cinque ports, and a member of the port of Dover; to which it was again united and confirmed by king Henry VI. and continues so at this time.
THIS PARISH is situated on high ground, adjoining the northern hills of this part of East Kent, in a country of uninclosed common fields of corn; the soil is mostly chalky, but much of it is fertile land. The high road from Deal to Dover goes through the village, in which the church and parsonage-house is situated. The parish is both healthy and pleasant, with beautiful prospects over the Downs and neighbouring country.—About half a mile eastward from the village of Ringwold, within the bounds of this parish, is the ville and hamlet of Kingsdown, which adjoins to the sea-shore, and appears to have been, in early times, a place of some account, by its being mentioned by name with Ringwold, in the charters of the cinque ports. It is now a small fishing village, where on the side next to Walmer, the poor fishermen by a capstan wind up on shore their boats, commonly called Kingsdown boats. In the valley between the two downs or hill sides near this, there are the remains of an antient camp. Darell says, this place was formerly called Roman Codde, and vulgarly Romny Coddy, which he interprets Romanorum fortitudo, the fortitude of the Romans. There is no fair.
THE MANOR OF RINGWOLD, in the time of the Conqueror, was in the possession of Fulbert de Dover, as part of his barony of Chilham, in whose descendants, (fn. 1) and in the Strabolgies, earls of Athol, this manor continued in like manner as Chilham, till it was forfeited by one of them to the crown, where it staid till king Edward II. in his 5th year, granted it to Bartholomew de Badlesmere, who in the 9th year of it ob. tained the grant for a market weekly, on a Tuesday, at his manor of Ridelingwold, and a fair there, on the eve, day, and morrow after the festival of St. Nicholas, and free-warren likewise within all his demesne lands within it. His son Giles de Badlesmere died s. p. in the 12th year of king Edward III. leaving his four sisters his coheirs, and Elizabeth his wife, daughter of William Montacute, earl of Salisbury, surviving, who became entitled to it for her life; she afterwards married Hugh de Despencer, who in her right became possessed of it; she survived him likewise, and died anno 33 king Edward III. possessed of this manor, held of the king in capite, by the service of finding a man armed to the guard of the sea-coast, whenever the same should be necessary, for all service.
Upon her death, this manor, on the further partition of the inheritance of the sisters of Giles de Badlesmere, was allotted to Maud the eldest, wife of John de Vere, earl of Oxford, who in her right became possessed of it, and died the next year, holding this manor in capiteas of the castle of Dover. His grandson Robert, earl of Oxford, was by king Richard II. created Marquis, and Duke of Ireland; but he was afterwards banished the realm, and all his possessions, excepting his entailed lands, confiscated, which latter only were to remain to his right heirs. (fn. 2) On the confiscation of the duke of Ireland's unentailed estates, this manor afterwards came by grant to Sir Robert Belknap, chief justice of the common pleas, who was likewise attainted and banished into Ireland in the 11th year of that reign.
In the 2d year of king Henry V. on the petition of Sir Hamon Belknap, his son, the parliament enabled him in blood and land to his father, notwithstanding the judgment made against him, and he was reinstated in this manor. His three sons, John, William, and Henry, each successively inherited this manor; the latter left one son Edward, and four daughters; the former resided at Weston, in Warwickshire, and in the beginning of king Henry the VIIIth's reign was knighted. He died in the 12th year of it, anno 1520, s. p. on which his four sisters became his coheirs, and on the partition of their inheritance, Anne, the youngest, entitled her husband, Sir Robert Wotton, to the possession of this manor, (fn. 3) whose descendant Edward, lord Wotton, conveyed it not long after that to Sir Thomas Edolph, of St. Radigund's, who, in the 13th year of that reign, had a confirmation of the grant of freewarren within his demesne lands of this manor. His grandson Thomas Edolph, esq. alienated this manor to Francis Nicholson, esq. and he, in 1702, passed it away to Edward Holnis, gent. of Bramling-court, who by his first wife had three daughters; Mary, married to John Philips, a dissenting minister; Thomasine, first to Enoch Kingsford, and secondly to John Hugessen; and Bridget, to Zachary Kingsford, and they, by his will, became entitled to this manor in equal shares. At length William Kingsford, esq. of Tunford, the grandson of Zachary above-mentioned, becoming possessed of the whole of this manor, sold it in 1762, together with all his lands whatsoever in this parish, to Mr. Tho. Peck, surgeon, of Deal, who died in 1790, leaving two daughters his coheirs, who marrying two brothers, James Methurst Poynter, and Ambrose Lyon Poynter, esqrs. they are now become, in right of their wives, the present possessors of this manor. A court baron is held for it.
RINGWOLD is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, is a handsome building, having a tower steeple at the west end, in which hang five bells. In the chancel is a mural monument for Richard Dauling, clerk, patron and rector. He died in 1679; arms, On a fess, three acorns. Another for Richard Monins Eaton, clerk, patron and rector, eldest son of Richard Monins, clerk, by Mary his wife, sister of John Daulinge, esq. late patron, obt. 1770; arms, Gules, three crescents, or. In the north isle, an antient grave-stone, coffin-shaped, on which is a cross patonce, on a griece of three steps. Two gravestones for the Edolphs and Gookens; arms on the former, A lozenge, ermine, on a bend, three cinquefoils, impaling the same arms. On the latter; arms, A chevron. ermine, between three cocks, impaling ermine, on a bend, three cinquefoils. In the nave several memorials for the Jekens's, of Oxney. Brass plates for Elizabeth, wife of Robert Gaunt, obt. 1580; for Willia Avere, alys and anne his Wysis; he died anno 1405; and for John Upton, obt. 1530. The steeple is built of flints, with the corners and arches over the windows of red brick, and a date, in figures of iron, 1628. In the churchyard is a remarkable fine yew tree, which measures upwards of twenty feet round.
¶The church of Ringwold was antiently appendant to the manor, and as such the advowson of it passed through the same several changes of ownership, down to Edward, lord Wotton, who alienated it to Sir William Sidley, of Aylesford, afterwards created a baronet, in whose descendants it continued till it was at length sold in Charles II.'s reign to the family of Dauling; one of whom, Richard Dauling, gent. of London, presented to it in 1679; at length by Mary, daughter of John Dauling, clerk, it passed in marriage to Richard Monins, clerk, prebendary of Bristol, master of the king's school in Canterbury, and rector of Ringwold, who died possessed of it in 1750, on which it came to his eldest surviving son of the same name, who afterwards took the name of Eaton, and was rector of this parish. He died unmarried in 1770, and his younger brother John Monins, esq. now of Canterbury, succeeded to this advowson, of which he is at this time proprietor.
The rectory of Ringwold is valued in the king's books at 13l 12s. 6d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 7s. 3d. In 1578 here were sixty communicants, In 1640, one hundred and seventy communicants, and it was valued at seventy-six pounds. It is now of the reputed clear value of 250l. There are nine acres of glebe land belonging to it.

As vezez me questiono quanto ao comportamente humano. Acho que todo mundo faz isso.
As vezes eu escrevo sobre isso e nem todo mundo faz.
Hoje, eu tenho problemas, vc tem problemas, todos nós temos. Normal.
POrém eu reclamo, falo palavrão, não preciso mas falo.
Aí eu lembro dessa cena, um casal no meio do lixo, que moram lá, tem uma casa feita de lata, pisam a terra e bebem uma água que não sei se eu beberia. Ganham pelo menos 1/10 do que eu ganho ou 1/20 do que vc ganha.
Olha esse beijo, olha os olhos dela.
Eles tem filhos, pelo que lembro eram dois pequenos correndo enquanto eu conversava e fotografava eles.
No meu ponto de vista, eles precisam de quase tudo do que eu já tenho. No ponto de vista deles, só precisam de um pouco mais do que eles já tem.
Sacou o que to querendo dizer?
Pois é, que raio de ser humano eu sou?
Hoje eu me sinto egoísta, orguhoso, apesar de nunca querer ser isso.
Me sinto o ser mais tosco da face da terra e talvez o seja.
Eu amo a vida, mas no momento estou muito questionador. Eu acredito e amo a Deus, mas no momento eu preciso amar mais.
Espero que em algum tempo, algum momento eu possa me ver como eles, num beijo santo, feliz e destruidor.
Wilian Olivato.
A very strange building in a little town in the Thuringian Forest. Built in 1925. With stars that look very Soviet. With a harp-playing woman and a man mask. A theatre? Which style?
Internet didn´t answer my questions. Even worse: I cannot remember the name of the town. Maybe, it was Neuhaus, but I am not sure.

La 21e Conférence des Parties
Chaque année, depuis la signature de la Convention-Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques en 1992, les 195 Etats signataires se réunissent pour définir ensemble des objectifs concrets de lutte contre les dérèglements climatiques. Aux côtés des représentants des Etats, les ONG, les collectivités territoriales, les syndicats, les entreprises et la communauté scientifique, participent aux débats.
Du 29 novembre au 11 décembre, Paris accueillait la 21e Conférence des Parties (COP21). Cette conférence est une échéance cruciale qui représente la fin d’un cycle de négociations, en s’inscrivant dans le prolongement direct de la grande COP de 1997, qui avait permis l’adoption du protocole de Kyoto.
La COP21 a établi les bases d’un nouvel accord international applicable à tous les pays. Il engagera l’ensemble des Nations dans une réduction globale des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES), dans l’objectif de maintenir le réchauffement mondial à 1.5°C.

François Hollande à ouvert la COP21, la conférence de Paris sur le climat. Le président Français a parlé d'un rendez-vous exceptionnel, un immense espoir : "Il s'agit de décider ici à Paris de l'avenir même de la planète" :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4VxTYg5AxQ
Sommet mondial sur le développement durable : discours de la France à l’ONU le 30 septembre 2015
François Hollande a évoqué les trois priorités après l’adoption du Programme de développement à l’horizon 2030 et en vue de la Conférence de Paris sur le climat en décembre. La première priorité est la préservation du climat, le Président français estimant qu’il faudrait signer un texte qui engagerait l’ensemble de la communauté internationale sur des décennies. Si notre planète subissait un réchauffement supérieur à 2°C, cela signifierait la disparition d’un certain nombre de pays, a prévenu le Président français, pour qui le caractère urgent de ce problème nécessitait des changements dans les modes de consommation et un financement approprié pour sa mise en œuvre. À son avis, 100 milliards de dollars seraient nécessaires pour assurer la transition énergétique et pour la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. La deuxième priorité est la lutte contre la pauvreté, qui devra être menée avec le fonds de la transition énergétique. La troisième priorité concerne la mobilisation de ressources pour la réalisation des trois piliers du développement durable pour assurer que tous les peuples de la planète jouissent pleinement de leurs droits fondamentaux en toute égalité et dignité dans un monde pacifique.
Le Président a par ailleurs annoncé que la France avait décidé d’augmenter son aide publique au développement à partir de 2020, à 4 milliards d’euros. Il a aussi annoncé la réforme de l’APD française en conjonction avec l’Agence française du développement et la Caisse des dépôts, qui deviendrait ainsi la plus grande banque européenne pour le développement. Il a également évoqué la mise en place de la taxe sur les transactions financières à partir de 2017, dont une partie serait affectée à la lutte contre les inégalités et contre la pauvreté.

En partenariat avec Universcience.tv, nous poursuivons la publication d’une série d’entretiens en vidéo sur le changement climatique, dans la perspective de la COP21, la conférence internationale qui se tiendra à Paris du 30 novembre au 11 décembre. Cette conférence tentera de parvenir à un accord contraignant sur la transition vers des économies sobres en carbone.
Dans cette vidéo, Jean-Louis Etienne, explorateur de l’Arctique et de l’Antarctique mais aussi médecin, voit le réchauffement climatique comme une maladie, une fièvre qui touche la planète et s’aggrave aux pôles. Il prescrit l’arrêt des énergies fossiles – tout particulièrement le charbon avec lequel les pays du Sud se développent – et se demande si l’homme saura stopper à temps son addiction à ces énergies.
Cet entretien a été réalisé à l’occasion de l’exposition temporaire « Climat, l’expo à 360 ° » qui vient d’ouvrir à la Cité des sciences et de l’industrie de Paris.

Le Sommet des Consciences pour le climat : www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yukt6
Lancé par Nicolas Hulot, envoyé spécial du président de la République pour la protection de la planète, le Sommet des Consciences réunit le 21 juillet 2015 à Paris, au CESE plus d'une quarantaine personnalités morales et religieuses du monde entier pour répondre à la question « The climate, why do I care ? » et lancer ensemble un « Appel des Consciences pour le climat ».
Une mobilisation des consciences de tous le habitants de la planète s’impose pour réussir le défi auquel l’humanité est confrontée : limiter le réchauffement du climat en diminuant sa consommation d’énergies fossiles et permettre à tous de s’adapter aux conditions nouvelles !
Le Temps est compté. Ce n’est plus seulement une question écologique, économique ou politique. C’est l’avenir de l’humanité qui est en jeu. Chacun de nous se doit de répondre maintenant à la question : est-ce qu’il m’importe que l’aventure de l’humanité sur Terre puisse se poursuivre ? Est-ce que je suis prêt à modifier dès aujourd’hui mon mode de vie pour que nos enfants et leurs enfants puissent vivre dans des conditions supportables ?
L'Appel des consciences
Il est fondamental que les consciences des hommes et des femmes de cette planète s'expriment ensemble, quelques soient leurs conditions, leurs religions, leurs philosophies.
La campagne "Why do I care ?" invite chacun à témoigner, et à faire savoir autour de lui, pourquoi la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique est importante et nous concerne chacun.

Plaidoyer d'un homme libre
« Les sommets sur le climat se succèdent, nous croulons sous l'avalanche de rapports plus alarmants les uns que les autres. Et l'on se rassure avec une multitude de déclarations d'intention et de bonnes résolutions. Si la prise de conscience progresse, sa traduction concrète reste dérisoire. L'humanité doit se ressaisir, sortir de son indifférence et faire naître un monde qui prend enfin soin de lui. »
Nicolas Hulot, Président de la Fondation Nicolas Hulot pour la Nature et l'Homme
Ce manifeste écrit par Nicolas Hulot est un cri du coeur, un plaidoyer pour l'action, un ultime appel à la mobilisation et un coup de poing sur la table des négociations climat avant le grand rendez-vous de la COP21. Il engage chacun à apporter sa contribution dans l'écriture d'un nouveau chapitre de l'aventure humaine, à nous changer nous mêmes et par ce biais à changer le monde.
Diagnostic implacable, constat lucide mais surtout propositions concrètes pour les responsables politiques et pistes d'action accessibles pour chacun d'entre nous, cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de son engagement et de sa vision en toute liberté des solutions à « prescrire » avant et après la COP21. L'urgence est à l'action. En 12 propositions concrètes, Nicolas Hulot dresse, avec sa Fondation, une feuille de route alternative pour les États et suggère 10 engagements individuels pour que chacun puisse également faire bouger les lignes à son niveau.
Depuis 40 ans, Nicolas Hulot parcourt la planète. Témoin de sa lente destruction, il a décidé de devenir un des acteurs de sa reconstruction. Au côté de sa Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme ou en parlant aux oreilles des décideurs, il contribue à faire évoluer les mentalités.
