La característica básica de esta costa reside en el hecho de que el Desierto de Namibia llega hasta el Océano Atlántico Sur Los vientos soplan desde el interior del su temible costa.continente hacia el mar, con lo que cae muy poca lluvia, y el clima es completamente inhóspito. Por otro lado, hay un constante y fuerte oleaje en las playas. En los días de los botes a remo era posible desembarcar atravesando la marea, pero imposible volver a zarpar. La única forma de salir del sitio era caminar cientos de kilómetros, a lo largo del árido desierto, de aquí los "esqueletos" en la costa.
Desde la avioneta, en la que recorrimos,parte de este impresionante desierto y su temible costa.
Namibia, África.
On the coast the upwelling of the cold Benguela current gives rise to dense ocean fogs (called "cassimbo" by the Angolans) for much of the year. The winds blow from land to sea, rain fall rarely exceeds 10mm annually (.39 inches) and the climate is inhospitable. There is a constant, heavy surf on the beaches. In the days of human-powered boats it was possible to get ashore through the surf but impossible to launch from the shore. The only way out was by going through a march hundreds of miles long and only accessible through a hot and arid desert.The coast is named for the bleached whale and seal bones which covered the shore when the whaling industry was still active, as well as the skeletal shipwrecks caused by rocks offshore in the fog. More than a thousand vessels of various sizes and areas litter the coast. Notable wrecks in the region include the Eduard Bohlen, the Otavi, the Dunedin Star, and Tong Taw.

Residing in Orchard Park, the Eternal Flame Falls are one of our most monumental natural landmarks. If you have the opportunity, be sure to visit Chestnut Ridge, the park in which these falls...fall. The ~1,200 acre swathe of land is stunning in every season, and home to boundless fauna ranging the scarlet tanager to the common gray treefrog to the barred owl! Visiting is always a hoot, even if you aren't an owl yourself.
For those of us residing in the USA, today we celebrate our country's independence. Take some time to study the history, what our forefathers said, did, and wrote, on this day, one that is foundational to our country.
Independence Day (aka, the 4th of July) is often celebrated with friends, family, grilled food, and fireworks. The effect seen in this fireworks image is from manually adjusting focus during a long exposure. Check out the following tips articles and the gear list below them:

Throughout their entire range, the Southern Hognose resides within the range of the congeneric Eastern Hognose (H. platirhinos). They both can be found within same microhabitat. Eastern Hognose, though, have a much more widespread range and are able to inhabit a broader range of habitats.
These two species are frog and toad specialists and contain several adaptations to aid in feeding on this prey item. An upturned and spade shaped rostral (nose) scale is used for digging in the loose sand and soil for burrowing toads and their enlarged rear fangs can be used to deflate these toads, which inflate themselves with air in an effort to make themselves more difficult to eat. Also, they seem to be immune to the bufotoxin which is secreted by certain toads they feed upon. All this said, both species have been known to eat rodents, salamanders and even eggs on occasion.
The Great Kiskadee is a large and strikingly colored flycatcher that inhabits much of Central and South America. Great Kiskadees reside in a variety of habitats from forest edges to grasslands to busy residential areas. These birds can often been seen hawking insects from an open perch or dropping to the ground feeding on insects and small reptiles.

Thomas Edison, the inventor, resided in Port Huron, Mi. Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio; the seventh and last child of Samuel and Nancy Edison. When Edison was seven his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan. Edison lived here until he struck out on his own at the age of sixteen. Edison had very little formal education as a child, attending school only for a few months. He was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by his mother, but was always a very curious child and taught himself much by reading on his own. This belief in self-improvement remained throughout his life." Mary Bellis About.com - Inventors.
This statue is situated at the mouth of Lake Huron and the St. Clair River. See the snow in the backgroud? That is actually floating ice - it will eventually make it to the narrow passage under the bridges and float down the river. It is pretty interesting to watch the ice cutters chug up the St. Clair River - I am hoping to get pictures of a couple this year.
Thomas Edison, l'inventeur, résidé dans Huron de Port, Mi. "Thomas Alva Edison était né le 11 février, 1847 dans Milan, Ohio ; le septième et dernier enfant de Samuel et Nancy Edison. Quand Edison était sept sa famille a transféré à Huron de Port, le michigan. Edison a habité ici jusqu'à ce qu'il a rayé seul à l'âge de seize. Edison a eu la très petite éducation formelle comme un enfant, assistant l'école seulement pour quelques mois. Il a été enseigné la lecture, l'écriture, et arithmétique par sa mère, mais était toujours un enfant très curieux et s'est enseigné beaucoup d'en liant seul. Cette conviction dans la soi-amélioration est restée à travers sa vie". Le De.Com de Bellis de marie - les Inventeurs.
Cette statue est située à la bouche de Huron de Lac et la Rue. Clair Rivière. Voir la neige dans le backgroud ? Cela flotte en fait de la glace - il le fera finalement au passage étroit sous les ponts et flotte en bas la rivière. C'est joli intéresser pour regarder les coupeurs de glace halètent en haut la Rue. La Rivière de Clair - j'espère obtenir des images d'un couple cette année.

Crab spider (Tarrocanus sp.) This is defensive pose to threaten away the trespassers from its nest. These spiders lay the eggs under the leaf and roll it away and make a small space to reside itself to guard it.
I had hoped in my trips east of California that I'd run into one of my favorite swallowtails. In San Diego County this species resides but looks quite different. See below. Falcon State Park, Starr County, TX.
A document resides in the safe keeping of this church that tells of its origins, it is a rather wonderful document and shows that this is truly a people's church.
As was usual with a chapelry this church has no dedication.
In 1566 the locals were tired of the long trek to Greystoke, their nearest church, and petitioned the authorities for a church of their own. A humble chapelry was granted for prayer but not for the sacraments, Greystoke was the place to go for burial, marriage and Christening. They petitioned again in 1580 and explained the problems they uncounted making the long journey in inclement weather. This time they were granted the right to perform the rituals of the church. This wonderful, very simple building is testament to their faith and determination.

HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE
On July 7, 1880, Estisa and Patten Bartlett sold lot 10 of the E. M. Bartlett addition in Elgin to Francis Preston for $500. At that time, Francis resided at 271 (now numbered 421) Division, adjacent to this lot. He quickly improved the lot by building the home that is known as 429 Division Street.
Francis apparently used the new house at 429 Division Street as a rental property, never living there himself. The 1884 City directory lists tenant Charles Young at that address. Francis retained ownership of 429 Division until selling it in 1889 to Conrad and Lydia Buel for $3,500.
Francis was born in New Hampshire in November of 1832 to Paschal and Ruth Preston. Frank enlisted at the beginning of the civil war in his home state of New Hampshire and served as a commander throughout the war.
After he settled in Elgin in 1868, he was very active in the GAR, The Grand Army of the Republic. Francis was employed at Elgin National Watch Factory and was known to be a fine musician. For many years he was the leader of the Bluff City Band and a prominent member of the Elgin Watch Factory Band. Near the end of his life, he was elected town collector, but was unable to attend to his duties because of his health. The 1878-79 Elgin city directory lists Frank Preston as the assistant foreman of the screw and steel department of the Watch Factory and also the business manager of the Bluff City Band. His address was listed as “Division 2 east of Gifford” as there was no house numbering system in use at that time.
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
429 Division Street was built as a substantial Free-Classic Queen Anne style home. The recent historic resources survey lists the home as a contributing structure to the historic significance of the area and in excellent condition.
The development of balloon framing, a construction methodology using smaller dimensions of lumber than previously, permitted the evolution of the exuberant Victorian architecture with its asymmetrical facades and irregularly shaped roofs. Previously, post-and-girt and braced-frame construction both used hewn and/or pegged joints and massive timbers. Since corners were thus hard to stabilize, architects and builders avoided unnecessary corners. Balloon framing construction, developed in Chicago in the 1830s, used two-inch framing boards that extended through two full stories. The joints were nailed, making construction faster and less costly. To the delight of Victorian architects, the small lumber dimensions allowed easy construction of irregular plans with many bays, extensions, turrets and towers. Queen Anne Style was developed in England by architect Richard Norman Shaw and associates. The style, popularized in plan books and magazines, became the predominant architecture in the United States, accounting for 50% of all homes constructed from 1880-1910.
Typical of Queen Anne Style, this house is a cross-gable configuration with a prominent front-facing gable. Like 50% of these homes, it has a steep hipped roof with lower cross-gables placed asymmetrically on the facades. The main roof has a flat deck crowning the hip, where the chimney is located. The Free Classic sub-type accounts for 35% of Queen Anne homes. The name derives from the use of round classical columns rather than turned posts as porch supports. Here, the columns extend the full height of the porch. The polygonal dining room bay features inset rectangular panels under the windows, and decorative brackets supporting the roof of the bay. Decorative woodwork graces the gable over the entry. A triangular window hood is present over the double window on the front-facing gable.
Many Taiwanese people are crazy about U.S.-residing Yankee pitcher Chien-Ming Wang. Wang's sinker is fast and powerful, and even the U.S. media has much praise for him. The Taiwanese in particular regard Wang as a superstar, and any product connected to him will be a bestseller. But even though he is already the best Asian pitcher, Wang is still very humble. We hope Chien-Ming Wang can continue to work hard, bringing glory to Taiwan in the Major League.

Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul - Democritus
This old truck resides on a property in our rural neighborhood. Because of the recent rains, it's surrounded by green.
I like old cars, and have an album with picture of things automotive.
Darkness
Darkness resides deep in her soul,
sealed away years ago.
New hurts and pain cause a crack,
allowing it to silently slither on through.
Raising doubts and insecurities
of long,
long,
long ago.
Old and new collide and crash,
Turmoil tumbling on through,
Until such a time when light shall shine,
to banish the darkness away once again.

Finding landscape shooting very tricky and challenging with large variations in light across the image I feel I can only do HDR to bring out the details. Hats off to all those landscape photographers as seascapes are loads easier. Sky seems to be more yellow on Flickr as was more orange on my PC..
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured two festive-looking nebulas, situated so as to appear as one. They reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite of our Milky Way galaxy. Intense radiation from the brilliant central stars is heating hydrogen in each of the nebulas, causing them to glow red.
The nebulas, together, are called NGC 248. They were discovered in 1834 by the astronomer Sir John Herschel. NGC 248 is about 60 light-years long and 20 light-years wide. It is among a number of glowing hydrogen nebulas in the dwarf satellite galaxy, which is located approximately 200,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Tucana.
The image is part of a study called Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE). Astronomers are using Hubble to probe the Milky Way satellite to understand how dust is different in galaxies that have a far lower supply of heavy elements needed to create dust. The Small Magellanic Cloud has between a fifth and a tenth of the amount of heavy elements that the Milky Way does. Because it is so close, astronomers can study its dust in great detail, and learn about what dust was like earlier in the history of the universe. “It is important for understanding the history of our own galaxy, too,” explained the study’s principal investigator, Dr. Karin Sandstrom of the University of California, San Diego. Most of the star formation happened earlier in the universe, at a time where there was a much lower percentage of heavy elements than there is now. “Dust is a really critical part of how a galaxy works, how it forms stars,” said Sandstrom.

With over 10 million mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) residing in North America alone, the Mallards are one of the best-known and most recognizable ducks. the mallard is a dabbling duck found throughout temperate and sub-tropical areas around the world. The most abundant and wide-ranging duck on earth. The mallard usually inhabits the freshwaters of North America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. Mallards usually feed on plants, such as grass seeds, leaves, stems, and aquatic plants, and vegetation like grains, rice, oats, and corn. However, they are also seen feeding on insects, mollusks, small fish, tadpoles, freshwater snails, fish eggs, frogs, and crustaceans. This Mallard drake was photographed at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.

A beast residing in the depths of the earth, from an age long forgotten...
Another MOC I've had for over a year at this point that I didn't feel like posting until now for some reason :p
The Raja Mahal (King's Palace), where the kings and the queens had resided till it was abandoned in 1783, was built in the early part of 16th century. Its exterior is simple and unembellished, but the interior chambers of the palace are elaborately royal in their architectural design, decorated with murals of social and religious themes of gods, mythical animals, and people. In the upper floor of the palace, there are traces of mirrors in the ceilings and walls. Its windows, arcaded passages, and layout plan are designed in such a way that the "sunlight and shadow create areas of different moods and temperatures throughout the day". The interior walls of the Mahal have murals of Lord Vishnu. The Mahal has several secret passages.
The Orchha Fort complex, which houses a large number of ancient monuments consisting of the fort, palaces, temple, and other edifices, is located in Orchha town in Madhya Pradesh. The fort and other structures within it were built by the Bundela Rajputs starting from the early 16th century by King Rudra Pratap Singh of the Orchha State and others who followed him.
The fort complex, which is accessed from an arched causeway, leads to a large gateway. This is followed by a large quadrangular open yard surrounded by palaces. These are Raja Mahal or Raja Mandir, Sheesh Mahal, Jahangir Mahal, a temple, gardens and pavilions. The battlements of the fort have ornamentation.
This particular bird resides at the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre in Coaldale, southern Alberta, a wonderful place that rehabilitates and releases (whenever possible) various birds of prey - hawks, owls, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, and Golden Eagles. Some of these birds act as Wildlife Ambassadors, too, educating the public.
It had been a few years since my last visit to the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre - I've only been maybe three or four times - and I had been longing to go back. Much too far and all new driving territory for me to even think about driving there myself. However, six days ago, on 9 September 2016, that is exactly what I did. A friend had said she would come along, too, but she emailed me at 1:00 am that morning to say that she assumed our trip had been cancelled, as she hadn't heard back about the time to meet. In fact, I had sent two emails giving the time, so I don't know what happened there. Very unfortunate, as it would have been great to have had company on such a long drive, and I know she would have had great fun with her camera.
I knew it would be a long day and further than I would normally drive - and in a brand new car that I have yet to learn to drive! It doesn't look or feel quite as new now, after travelling 481 km, plus a long trip the next day! Only got lost twice, one minor and the other major. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere way down south and I ended up in the city of Lethbridge, that I had very carefully planned to avoid. After driving for three and three-quarter hours, I finally arrived, to my huge relief.
Despite getting there later than I had hoped, I still had more than enough time to wander round the grounds and photograph the various raptors. Some were tethered out in a grassy area and others were in outdoor cages. Wonderful to get such a close look at the various majestic birds.
I took a slightly different way home via #845 (?), making absolutely sure that I didn't accidentally find myself in Lethbridge again and it wasn't too long before I found myself in the area that I had driven a few weeks ago, when I went SW of Vulcan to look for Common Nighthawks (without any luck).
Just so happy that I finally made myself do this drive. When I Googled the Centre's website, I had discovered that they were closing two days later for the winter. So, it was either a case of going the next day or not at all till next May onwards.
The day after this adventure, 10 September 2016, I took my daughter on a long drive in Kananaskis. This was yet another place that I had longed to be able to drive for many years - and finally I did it! I had been lots of times with various friends, but this was the very first time I had ever driven myself. We had planned to do this a few weeks earlier, but then my car had major repairs that needed to be done. Instead, I knew I just couldn't put any more money into my 17-year-old car, and I ended up replacing it. So glad we went to the mountains on this particular day, as it snowed the following day.

I finally made it to Lower Lewis River Falls in the Fall of 2024. It took so long because it resides in the backwaters of Skamania County, Washington, just beyond the middle of nowhere. Autumn was just getting under way, and some of the leaves were turning gold. Sunlight slanted in from the southwest, and filtered through the forest. It was a nice day for a first time.

New Year's Fireworks.
Taken from the rooftop of the apartment block where I resided, an example of a very modest fireworks display welcoming in the new year.
The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo sibiricus) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European eagle-owl and in Europe, where it is the only member of its genus besides the snowy owl, it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl. It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), males being slightly smaller. This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish colouring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker colour. The facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive.
NGC 3521 resides in relative solitude, approximately 35 million light years from earth, between the constellations of Leo, Virgo and Hydra. The arms of this beautiful galaxy are somewhat irregular and discontinuous and as such is categorized as a flocculent spiral galaxy.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect is the gas bubble evident around the galaxy. It is theorized that this gas shell is likely tidal debris – remnants of stars torn from satellite galaxies that merged with NGC 3521. Due to this gaseous shell it is sometimes referred to as the “Bubble Galaxy”.
The fact that Charles Messier did not discover this galaxy remains somewhat a mystery as it is brighter than several he did discover in nearby Leo. William Herschel is credited with its discovery in 1784.
