Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a sacred monument and popular tourist attraction in Kanyakumari, India. The memorial stands on one of two rocks located about 500 meters off mainland India's southernmost tip. It was built in 1970 by the Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee in honour of the visit of the great spiritual teacher Swami Vivekananda to Shripada Parai during the month of December 1892 for deep meditation and enlightenment. He swam to this rock and meditated about the past, present and future of India. It is said that he attained enlightenment on the rock, and henceforth became a reformer and philosopher.
From very ancient times, the rock has been regarded as a sacred place. The mythical tradition states that it has been known as 'Sripada Parai', meaning the rock that has been blessed by the touch of ‘the sacred feet’ of the Devi Kumari. On the rock is a projection similar in form to a human foot and a little brownish in complexion, which has traditionally been venerated as a symbol of Shripadam. According to legend, it was on this rock that Devi Kumari performed austerity.
My rock raiders themed Ubermann.

In the distant future, sports like Caveracing, Cyborg Racing, and Mech Racing were not the only extreme sports to rise from futuristic boredom. Here and there across the Earth, people compete in tournaments and single combat in hardsuits deemed: "Ubermann" after the German company that first produced consumer hardsuits. According to the general rule of thumb, they can only have four equipment mounts: one on each arm, and two on the backpack. They also require a large black wrench mounted on them in order to function (as an homage to the caveracers). All Ubermann Hardsuits must be built off of a uniform frame ( flickr.com/photos/30114783@N06/2837089095/ ). Apart from that, they can have any armor, weapons, arms or legs, anything. If you build an Ubermann Hardsuit, please copy these regulations into the description. Thanks!
"‘Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock. But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!’"
– Matthew 7:24-28, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.

Parts from Mixel sets 41545 and 41546. I see myself experimenting even more with that dome-face design in the future.

This is my first attempt at using artificial ilumination (a high power flash light) to light the landscape, although not in the usual harsh way the ruins were lit by a flashlight. This image is the result of 7 30s exposures merged together in potatoshop, they were then desaturated and minor colour corrections applied to some areas. The final canvas effect was applied and sharpening was done using 3 step sharpening.
I quite liked the end result and in the end I was quite happy with this first try, I really need to try this again but next time I need to bring someone with me as it is really tough to control exposure and light in a ruin this size alone.
Hope you enjoy it, have a great week!
This is a Rock Sandpiper, the Pacific equivalent of the Purple Sandpiper. It winters further north than any other North American shorebird which makes it quite a difficult species to see. It breeds in Alaska, the Pribolofs, Aleutians, Commander Islands and the Kuril Islands. They are also exceedingly variable in plumage, apart from in winter, when they are (probably) indistinguishable from Purple Sandpiper. This individual was feeding on insects among the seaweed strandline on the island of Beringa, one of the Commander Islands.
Viewing Rock Lookout in Heathcote, if you look closely through the gap in the rock you'll be able to make out Red Edge Wine (pretty sure, used google maps to locate)

The Bass Rock stands out on a beaufiful summers day looking out from East Lothian across the Firth of Forth. Described by Sir David Attenborough as one of the wonders of the world "The Bass" is home to the largest single island colony of Northern Gannets in the world with the population reaching 150,000 birds at the peak of summer.

Part of a series capturing some of the vintage cash registers found in many San Francisco bars. See the full collection HERE.
Rock Bar, the sister establishment to the Front Porch restaurant, is in Noe Valley, or maybe it's in the area referred to as Bernal Flats, or TransMission, or possibly one of ten other micro-neighborhood names I've yet to learn. Regardless, it's the exact type of bar I wish wasn't on the opposite end of the city from me.
This evening the bar was fairly full and I had to wait for patrons to leave to get front row seats to this massive 1916 National register. The bartender said they had it fixed once, but it's very temperamental (I suppose that's understandable as it approaches a century on this planet).
The one overhead light was just about all I needed to capture the Edwardian details in the metalwork, but in the 8 second exposure I did add a bit of diffused flashlight to the wooden drawer and "dollars / cents" display area at the top.

The spiritual uses of this site are easy to imagine.
即使不知道什麼是搖滾，順著自己想像。
就算哼著貝多芬的交九，也可以很HIGH！
畢竟在自己的世界裡，沒有人會去質疑這樣的對錯。
粗糙的嘶吼也好，小小聲的呢喃也行。
五光十色的登場很不錯，跳著彈簧床翻滾更有趣。
儘管只是小小地方，靈魂也是自由。
一個人的搖滾啊，不管是多麼可悲，
也只是一人份的淚水。
一個人的搖滾啊，儘管是如此可笑，
至少夠一人份的開心。
最後的尾音落下，吉他隨便刷上兩聲後，收起了小小的瘋狂。
帥氣的連謝幕都不用，伸手比著Corna，轉身跳下床。

From the Smith Rock State Park Brochure ...
"Smith Rock became world famous in the mid-1980s as a rock climbing destination, and offers routes for beginning to expert climbers. Climbing is very technical and dangerous, and proper instruction is critical. Several guide services operate in the park. Guidebooks with information about climbing can be purchased at local shops. Rock climbers enjoy their sport year round, but the busiest seasons are spring and fall. Routes are found throughout the park, but the main concentration is ¼ mile downstream from the footbridge. If you make it over to Monkey Face, you might see people climbing the easiest route on the south face, which was first climbed in 1960. Or, you might see someone on Just Do It on the east face: Smith’s hardest route, first climbed in 1992. It is also the first 5.14c. rated route in America."
"The dramatic appearance of the park area is a testament to the cumulative force of vulcanism and the erosive power of running water. Millions of years ago, this area was a center of volcanic activity. After a period of localized eruptions, lava flows entered the
canyon and crowded the ancestral river into the flanks of the main volcanic structure. Forced to establish a new channel, the Crooked River eventually eroded the interior of the volcanic vent. The wondrous and multicolored formations are composed of rock known as “welded tuff ”—volcanic ash erupted under conditions of extreme heat and pressure."
To understand the scale of Smith Rock the trail circumnavigating the rock is some 6 to 7 miles in length. The height of the rock is approximately 700 feet from the valley floor.
