2006 is the year of the dog. I carve a new woodblock for each new year’s animal. You can see in the images below it, the beginning stage of carving the block, followed by the special ink roll with color gradation, and the inked wood before the paper is applied. If you would like to purchase one please be aware that the color and paper may vary.

The Tintic Standard Reduction Mill—also known as the Tintic Mill or Harold Mill—built in 1920, and only operating from 1921 to 1925, is an abandoned refinery or concentrator located on the west slope of Warm Springs Mountain near Goshen, Utah, in the United States. Metals processed at the mill included copper, gold, silver, and lead, all of which were received from another mill near Eureka, Utah. The metal content of ore was increased through the process to make transportation less expensive. The reducing process used was an acid-brine chloridizing and leaching process which became outdated, leading to the abandonment of the site in 1925. At the mill's highest productivity it processed 200 tons of ore yearly from the Tintic Mining District.
What remains of the mill are foundations for water tanks, crushers, roasters, iron boxes, leaching tanks, and drain boxes. The site dominates the surrounding landscape with its size and unique colors and shapes.
It was designed and built by W. C. Madge. It is significant as the only American mill using the Augustin process during the early 1920s.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It has been speculated that the mill may be the contributor of heavy metal pollution in the Goshen Warm Springs which lie below it.

Kondō Takahiro
Porcelain with blue and green underglazes and "silver mist" overglaze
Kondō Takahiro was born into a family of traditional blue-and-white porcelain artists. He has established his own reputation by creating works that he coats with a metallic amalgam of silver, gold, and platinum. In the final firing, this amalgam beads up on the surface, creating thousands of shiny droplets against the dark cobalt blue. In 2013, Kondō created a series of five porcelain sculptures based on casts of his own body. The project was in response to the tsunami and nuclear disaster at Fukushima in 2011. Kondō’s beautiful "silver mist" glaze is intended to be a reference to the radioactivity that was released and that may well "drench" the people of Japan.

Tripod, Sony a200 DSLR & polarizer.
3 frames merged to HDR -2, 0, +2 on Photomatix.
More editing, border, noise reduction, curves adjustment and levels on Paint.net and GIMP.
I think the lights of the cars are a bit distracting as it was a bus, and I couldn't cut it out because it was the only over exposed from the 3 frames. And also the blob patches. :\
But I have plenty more shots. =)

Troglodytes troglodytes. Wren is probably the commonest bird that I’ve not managed a decent photograph of before. During a walk around Askham Bog, near York I was pleased when this one flitted about close by and eventually perched briefly in the open. The light was poor so another 12,800 ISO miracle of DXO DeepPrime noise reduction.
Had a chance to work on some lensless "landscape" photography this weekend. This is a 5-frame in-camera multiple exposure. Months of evaluating and categorizing pieces of glass cullet, plastic, and artistic glassware has yielded a kind of database and vocabulary of caustic patterns. The advent of in-camera multiple exposures has allowed reduction of what used to be hours upon hours of assessing each step of a multi-burn single exposure then figuring out how to sequence it using multiple tripod stations to minutes of hand-held wonder. The ability to see the composition live greatly reduces the effort required to build a composition and decreases the the likelihood of misalignments. It's too easy! Ingredients: Photon Micro light LEDs, 4 pieces of glass/glassware, black plastic masking elements, a few clamps.

The steep ends of the curve bring out shadow and highlight detail while the shallower central part lowers the overal contrast and the dynamic range is preserved.
A frequency reduction on the 468 that happened a few months has resulted six surplus HV's at N and that allowed those 67 reg HV's to be transferred to AR for use on the 123 to allow the use of its Gemini 2's that were previously allocated to the 123 to be used on the newly gained 158 from Stagecoach.
The river flows effortlessly – care free – without any worries or concerns. Maybe we can learn a lot from the river during these stressful times.

EDITED WINTER PHOTO: The original photo was vertical. I re-sized the photo to horizontal and then I colorized the upper portion above the snow and then dodged it a little bit to make it look like a night sky. I added 100% "Noise Reduction" to make the image a little bit clearer.
First Glasgow's service 77 branded AD Enviro400 MMC 33393 (SK19 EOD) is seen here in George Square operating service 6A to Drumchapel during the COVID-19 service reductions.
Taken in Saas Fee, Switzerland.
Single exposure ; 5min @ f/5
This image has received no manipulation except noise reduction and a crop. There was a lot of residual light, and light from houses in the village of Saas-Fee. This explains why the foreground looks so bright. In the bottom right corner, you can see some motion-blurred clouds that took this reddish glow from the residual light.

It's Friday so that means it's soup time for a crowd. The biggest challenge is getting the soup to reduce in time without cooking out the flavors. This one seems to be on track.

Like other species in the genus, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and ants, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch. Before swallowing prey, a bee-eater removes stings and breaks the exoskeleton of the prey by repeatedly thrashing it on the perch. Migration is not known but they make seasonal movements in response to rainfall. These birds are somewhat sluggish in the mornings and may be found huddled next to each other on wires sometimes with their bills tucked in their backs well after sunrise. They sand-bathe more frequently than other bee-eater species and will sometimes bathe in water by dipping into water in flight. They are usually seen in small groups and often roost communally in large numbers (200-300). The birds move excitedly at the roost site and call loudly, often explosively dispersing before settling back to the roost tree. The little green bee-eater is also becoming common in urban and sub-urban neighborhoods, and has been observed perching on television antennae, only to launch into a brief, zig-zag flight formation to catch an insect, then return to the same perch and consume the meal. This behaviour is generally observed between the hours of 7:00 and 8:00am, and after 4:00pm.
The breeding season is from March to June. Unlike many bee-eaters, these are often solitary nesters, making a tunnel in a sandy bank. The breeding pairs are often joined by helpers. They nest in hollows in vertical mud banks. The nest tunnel that they construct can run as much as 5 feet long and the 3-5 eggs are laid on the bare ground in the cavity at the end of the tunnel. The eggs are very spherical and glossy white. Clutch size varies with rainfall and insect food density. Both sexes incubate. The eggs hatch asynchronously with an incubation period of about 14 days and the chicks grow fledge in 3 to 4 weeks and in the fledging stage show a reduction in body weight.
A study suggested that green bee-eaters may be capable of interpreting the behaviour of human observers. They showed an ability to predict whether a human at a particular location would be capable of spotting the nest entrance and then behaved appropriately to avoid giving away the nest location. The ability to look at a situation from another's point of view was previously believed to be possessed only by primates.
They feed on flying insects and can sometimes be nuisance to bee-keepers.The preferred prey was mostly beetles followed by hymenopterans. Orthopterans appear to be avoided. They are sometimes known to take crabs. Like most other birds they regurgitate the hard parts of their prey as pellets
An endoparasitic nematode (Torquatoides balanocephala) sometimes infects their gizzard.
A small collection of Etsy avatars, each reduced to only 4 x 4 pixels (then magnified for study). They are normally 75 x 75 pixels. For many avatars, this is just enough for recognition. I might be crazy, but I love to stare at them.
What's best is that each one represents a genuine creative person somewhere in the world.
I have so much less stress, she said, now that I've given up on ambition.
The year 2014 has nicely started to take off, gently here, no real winter…. Not too much ice, fog lifting in time…. And I still my craving for spring with visits to our weekly market and the buying of large bunches of flowers. I water the many cases with burgeoning tulips, narcissus, daffs and other spring-stuff. One red tulip and 3 mini-daffs already are brightly blooming in the weak sunlight – all the others are just lifting the earth with their tips of the growth to come. All that makes me truly happy.
With many thanks for the following free textures, I mixed and matched them with the ardour of an interested child:

Rückenfigur video excerpt. This is a short sample of the video that is part of the re. Rainbow Girl project. The video is based on a series of 27 reduction woodcuts fading very slowly from one to the other over a 15 minute time span. At this size the shift is almost imperceptible.
What once would have been a 47 and load 7 or 8 is now reduced to a two-car 158738, seen as it arrives at Carnoustie in fading winter sunshine on 6th December 2022 with 1A85 1330 Edinburgh to Aberdeen.
One of two remaining semaphores at Carnoustie is seen in the shot.
After a failed class 07, the helper 55 186 was sent alone from Levski towards Svishtov with the local freight train. The number of waggons in the train had to be reduced to the 4 you see in this picture.

It was a rainy and grey day in Berlin - so the light and faded colors underlines this surreal scenery. It is one more picture that was 'burned into my head'.
170 ton mining truck
This creation in scale 1:28.5 is remote controlled using a SBrick and features the following four functions:
- Rear wheel drive with planetary gear reductions in the wheel hubs, powered by a PF XL motor
- Steering of the front wheels usind a PF Servo motor
- Dump body with two linear actuators driven by a PF M motor
- Headlights and rear lights using three pairs of PF LEDs
Furthermore the truck features independent front suspension of the trailing arm type and suspension of the rigid rear axle.
Finally, the doors of the drivers cab can be opened.
I believe that today high-quality retouching makes sense in digital versions as well. Social services offer the possibility to see pictures in original size and people more oftenly view it on 4k and and more "k" monitors.
The Stagecoach TAs in London are gradually being whittled down in numbers with the 247 the latest route to see a reduction in them.
