I am starting to play with a remote flash to see how the light effects the shadows. I was bouncing the light off the ceiling. I also thought it would bounce off the wall lighting the right front. I found out that didn't work as I expected.
P-33 (female). She looks younger and more fluffy in this photo than the others (or at least that’s my non-scientific observation!).

Direction sign on the remote single track road to Lochbuie and Croggan on the Isle of Mull Scotland.
Despite being a single track road and somewhat remote location these roads are some of the most smooth roads I've driven along.

Place: Zhaoxing, Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province
My next destination during my trip in southern China was in remote Guizhou province, traditionally one of the poorest provinces in China. I took the high-speed train to Congjiang station. In the train I met a Frenchman who worked for some nuclear plant company in France and had an internship for a few months somewhere in Guangdong Province. He happened to go to Zhaoxing village, so we left at the same station and took the bus. After arriving in the village, we found out that we stayed in the same hostel too.
Zhaoxing is the largest settlement of the Dong minority. The Dong (also known as Kam) people are one of 56 recognized ethnic groups of China. Most Dong people (in total around 3,000,000) live in eastern Guizhou, western Hunan and northern Guangxi in China. Sadly, due to urbanization and assimilation into mainstream Chinese society, their culture is slowly evaporating, a fate similar to many ethnic minorities. Dong villages can be recognized by drum towers (鼓楼), wooden stilt houses and wind-and-rain bridges (风雨桥).
Zhaoxing is a popular tourist destination, helped by the new high-speed train which connects Guangdong Province with Guangxi and Guizhou, and it quite shows. So how traditional is the charming village? We entered the village by paying an entrance fee at the gate (the local community obviously doesn't benefit from this), a couple of hundred metres from the village itself, where they created a huge complex in traditional Dong style. From there we were driven to the village itself via the newly created artificial pond and rice paddy fields and yet another impressive, but newly created gate. There were walked via the boulevard, a new broad paved road with many KTV bars, restaurants and hostels, to our hostel. All houses are constructed in traditional Dong style, but most have by now been replaced by concrete buildings with wooden facade, replacing the traditional fully wooden structures. That night we watched a performance of supposedly Dong minority people, showing their culture, but it didn't feel genuine. In fact, we were told that the local Dong people aren't even allowed to play their traditional music anymore. Their are quite some reasons to be critical of these developments, similar to the fate of many touristic places in China, but as more and more especially young people are leaving villages for cities in Guizhou, the future of Zhaoxing is at least secured. When you look past the main road, there are still plenty of signs of traditional Dong culture visible. In fact, even on the main road you can see Dong people running their own shops, mostly catering to local people, and continuing life, wearing traditional clothing, colouring clothes by the fermentation process of plants and farming their lands.
The hostel (Zhaoxing Ruyuan Family Inn) itself was run by very friendly people. He prepared a great, spicy local dish - typical for the kitchen of Guizhou and rather similar to the Sichuan kitchen, the neighbouring province north of Guizhou. He even gave us (me, the French guy and another Spanish girl) a beer and they didn't even allow us to pay for all this goodness (price for one night was less than 10 euros...).
Working on the hills along this remote stretch of coast, I had all day looking out to the clouds forming over the ocean hoping and anticipating what could be at the end of the day. Needless to say I was not disappointed.

Now I have more time to focus, I'm looking for people to create images with. So if you have ideas or interested in creating something let me know.

Wow, I can't believe it's been an entire month already...only 11 more to go!
Looking back on the week, it's been a long one with a lot of challenges. So, I thought it would be fun to lighten things up and show you all my wife's crazy family, LOL.
I suggested we all do a "crazy face" and somehow I ended up smiling. Not sure if I was too tired to follow my own instructions or if this is my "crazy face" ;)
We managed to get some additional snow time in the morning before we had to pack up and leave. Cooper really conquered sledding down the hill and so he and I spent a lot together while he went again, and again, and again. Despite a knee injury and little sleep, it was a great vacation with the family; even the crazy ones :D

The Range Viper has been at bivouac in the jungle waiting for a rumored Joe convoy to pass for weeks. When he got word that supplies were coming, he expected more than a glorified motorcycle with a few anti-tank launchers.
While the GIJoe Tiger Paw may have been a tired repain", I like it. Those utility racks are great and somewhat more practical than the massive cannon. If they had to reissue the Ferret once more than the '84 original, this was the way to go.
And the driver is a LBC of the Comic Pack Cobra Officer with Battle Corps Dial Tone's arms (and BJ's Roadblock's legs). The blue arms are a near perfect match for that particular torso.
A female Florida Box Turtle Terrapene carolina bauri. Super cool little turtle, that can close up it's shell after it pulls itself in. You can tell it's a female because it doesn't have red eyes. You can also see what looks to be hair on her face, they are omnivores and will occasionally eat small mammals and carrion.
I put my camera in front of it, and used a trigger to capture it while standing a couple of feet away.
A K-Line stack train parked at the LaFox, IL Metra station for a crew change or just waiting on signals. The lights of the station are blasting to the right while a few stars peek thru the scattered and broken overcast last night. Snowmobiles have made good use of the overpass of the future Brinker Rd extension.
The sun sinks behind the distinctive shape of Over Owler Tor. Seen from the ruined stone mason's hut and trough, cut into the ramparts of Carl Wark on Hathersage Moor.
Carl Wark is classed as an Iron Age fortification. However, no certain date has yet been determined for the building of it's walls and dates spanning from the Neolithic to Dark Ages have been suggested.
It's is thought that the name derives from 'Carl's Work'. Carl being an old name for the Devil.

Has anyone tried photographing one of these remote control vehicles. I am not sure of the speed they get up to, but I think I have whiplash.

Great number of huge stumps along North Fork Nooksack. Wish I could have seen that forest.
from Wintergreen, Rambles in a Ravaged Land by Robert Michael Pyle, the chapter “Stump Watcher” -
“Now I live in southwestern Washington. It is a land of logging, and the leftovers are stumps. We owe the stumps themselves to the kind of logging performed in the early days. Limited to axes and crosscut saws, loggers naturally sought to minimize the effort involved in bringing down the giant trees of the old-growth forest. Because their butts flared radically, these trees might be twice as great in diameter at ground level as they were six, ten, or twenty feet up the trunk. In those profligate days there seemed little to be gained by sawing through these flared trunks, which in any case were very difficult to cut. As Donald H. Clark pointed out in a 1959 article, “cedars flared more than firs, but the bases of old firs often contained so much pitch that sawing was impossible. The pitch also degraded the butt logs for use in sawmills.”
Fallers preferred cutting higher up the trunk to avoid the hampering brush as well, and to display their bravado and skill. So they chopped wedge-shaped notches out of the trees, into which they thrust steel-booted planks. Standing on the springboard, a logger could attack the trunk at a more reasonable diameter of, say, ten rather than twenty feet; or he could cut another notch still higher. In this manner, many stumps came to be one or even two stories high.”
“Truth to tell, universes revolve within these massive remains. I travel in their systems each time I enter the gravitational field of fascination surrounding every stump. The personalities of stumps attract me as much as their biota. Curiosity and aesthetic admiration in concert make me an unrepentant stump watcher.”
“If a collecting party from another planet sought to bring back a single sample most reflective of our ecosystem, they could do worse than to select a fine stump. From it they would be able to culture a respectable slice of the Pacific coastal pie of life.”
“Forest ecologist Chris Maser has found that as much nitrogen accumulates in decaying downwood as in the forest floor itself. Calcium and magnesium are among the other elements present in dead, decaying trees. It may take as long as four hundred years for an old-growth Douglas-fir to fully decompose. Throughout that time, the tree slowly contributes its nutrients to the soil, after the fashion of a time-release capsule.”
Of the stumps that survive the fires [slash burning], most, I suspect, will outlast me. Yet they will not last forever, and when they have all rotted, there will be no more like them. Today, trees are not allowed to get that big before being cut. Besides, they are sawed off lower, then burnt. When the man-made moss towers have all become duff, only the natural stumps that come near the end of the cycle from tree into snag into stump into soil will fill the bill for lovers of stumps. They will be scarce, as rare as the old-growth trees whence they come and rarer, since such trees live a long, long time.”

"I figured that the high stumps in the NorthWest were because of the "Tall" loggers. We have shorter loggers on the East side of the continent. It might have something to do with the eastern side being a little more stable. The Western side seems to be threatened with a lot of earth quakes. I figure it's the weight of all those tall people." - forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=37205.0

Remote controlled Rover, I challenged myself to make a remote controlled 6x6 with all wheel drive, as small as possible, front and rear steering, suspension and as many lights as I can cram into this model as possible. This model contains 1 buggy motor, 1 pf steering servo, 1 pf v2 IR receiver, 1 pf switch, 4 sets of pf LEDs, 2 pf extension cables and 2 old school lego LED lights (for the flashing lights)
One of the advantages of working from home: witnessing scenes in the street that I normally don't see. Like men cleaning the underground waste containers inside and out before emptying them.
