Dr Neil's Garden, Duddingston, Edinburgh.
Thomson’s Tower, designed by William Henry Playfair, and built in 1825 for the Duddingston Curling Society to store its stones. The upper floor was both a meeting place for the curlers and a studio for the respected artist the Rev. John Thomson, minister of Duddingston from 1805 till 1840.
Murphy's Haystacks are inselberg rock formations located at Mortana, between Streaky Bay and Port Kenny on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
They are of a 'tumulus' form of weathered granite outcrop. They are made of a pink, massive, coarsely equigranular rock consisting mostly of quartz and orthoclase. Their appearance may be due to a combination of erosion by underground rainwater and then by subsequent weathering after they were exposed. Most of the pillars emerge without a break from the underlying granite. Their structural base may be of orthogonal or vertically-aligned sheet jointing.
They obtained their name because a traveller in a coach saw the formation in the distance. He asked how a farmer could produce so much hay. As the farm was on a property owned by a man called Murphy, the rocks became known as Murphy's Haystacks.
The site is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

Pascoe's Shaft in the mining area of South Wheal Francis at Carnkie on the other side of Carn Brea to Camborne and Redruth . This whole area is known as " The Great Flat Lode " . The Great Flat Lode is an enormous ore bearing body tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees situated to the south of Carn Brea. Normally lodes are found perpendicular to the ground surface or at best at angles of about 60 degrees. The Great Flat lode got its name as in relative terms it lay a lot flatter in the ground. This, meant that mines could be placed at the optimum locations to extract the tin or copper ore from the ground without digging to excessive depths. The Great Flat Lode Trail encompasses all the major mines of the Camborne-Redruth area running in a 7.5 mile multi-use circular trail around the granite hill of Carn Brea.
'World Heritage' status for this area was granted on 14th July 2006. This should help to provide the necessary funding to improve and interlink all the mineral tramway projects. The majority of the trail is off-road and suitable for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. There are even some parts accessible to wheelchair users. I am sure it was the awarding of the World Heritage Status when the engine houses of the Great Flat Lode had damp straw put onto fires at the bases of the chimneys thus this wonderful landscape for one time had smoking chimneys for as far as the eye could see - think that would have given anyone who witnessed this spectacle goosebumps !!!
Late afternoon from Steptoe Butte of the Palouse Hills, Washington. HDR from one RAW image. There were a couple of lighter dirt fields in the upper left corner and the top middle area I had to darken.
Devil’s Dyke is a legendary beauty spot on the South Downs Way. Only five miles north of Brighton it offers amazing views over the Weald and over the English Channel. The mile long Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest dry valley in the UK and the legend goes that the Devil dug this chasm to drown the parishioners of the Weald.

Markarian's Chain
Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. When viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. It was named after the Armenian astrophysicist, Benjamin Markarian, who discovered their common motion in the early 1960s. Member galaxies include M84 (NGC 4374), M86 (NGC 4406), NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435. Near the center there appear the pair of interacting galaxies NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, about 50 million light-years away, known to some as Markarian's Eyes.At least seven galaxies in the chain appear to move coherently, although others appear to be superposed by chance. Six of the points on the chain can be marked by galaxies. The other two points are pairs of galaxies

F/8 and be there
IMHO this photo isn't as good as it should be, but I was to lazy to change lenses and it wasn't untill I got home that I saw how much I like the composition
You and me and
the butterfly's 3,
changing and
mutating in the tree.
Is it a princess
or is it a queen?,
waiting for the
metamorphosis
so we can see.
Colorful, fancy,
beauty inside,
changing the outside
and becoming free.
No longer trapped
in the earthly cocoon,
it spreads its wings
and fly's where
it can see.
Singing a colorful song
on the way and humming
quietly to thee.
The Butterfly's three.
It's not easy for me to take snap with stuff.
So i tried but.... Silvio was more quickly as me.
I steal his snap for blogging Azoury :
Thanks Silvio, thanks Mayhem and Aniki :)

Here's another shot of my lucky encounter with a Cetti's Warbler at Wintersett Reservoir in West Yorkshire. This one shows their characteristic tail-cocking pose. The first one ever to be recorded in Britain was as recently as 1961 and breeding was only confirmed in 1972. But since initial colonisation numbers have increased to around two thousand singing males. But most of these are in the south, and living in northern uplands I don't see them particularly often.
They are named after an 18th Century Jesuit preist called Fransesco Cetti who wrote books on the natural history of Sardinia, including this warbler which Alberto Marmora named in his honour (Marmora also dioscovered a warbler which was named after him). The bizarre thing is that the explosive song sounds like it is singing its own name (chet, chetty-chetty-chet).

DUSTY HAZE ;) and his GATOR was propably one of my favorite vehicles.
What i really like about the model is the hood solution.
The wedge plates would look better studless though.
Next on the list is a Venom vehicle.

Thanks to fellow photographer Thy Bun, I was finally able to locate Harris's Sparrow at Las Gallinas this morning! This is a rare bird for the Bay Area as these sparrows nest in Northern Canada and winter on southern Great Plains. Thanks Thy!!
Highlighted by it's own reflection. For those who live in the Carson/Eagle Valley corridor, Job's Peak is a touchstone sight.
Costa's Hummingbird (Calypte costae) is a very small species that inhabits western Mexico and the extreme southwest of the United States. They weigh just over 3g and the Bee Hummingbird, smallest in the world weighs 2 to 2.6g. It was formally described and named by French ornithologist Jules Bourcier in 1839 and he chose the name (costae) to honour the French nobleman Louis Marie Pantaleon Costa, Marquis de Beauregard. This is a female but males have iridescent purple face plumes like this: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/8561824258/in/photolist Incidentally that yellow on its forehead is not pigment but pollen from the flowers it has fed upon. They transfer pollen from flower to flower helping to fertilise flowers just like giant bumblebees. Costa's Hummingbirds inhabit arid desert habitats but their penchant for flowers often lures them into gardens. It is one of those hummingbird species that reduces its metabolic rate in winter as its heart rate and respiration are dramatically slowed down. I photographed this female on Isla San Francisco in the Sea of Cortez..

This is "Thor's Helmet" in Canis Major, a spectacular nebula that lies 15,000 light-years from Earth.
I captured this image from my light-polluted backyard in Ontario, Canada earlier this year using a 150mm refractor telescope.
This HOO palette image was created by using a monochrome CCD camera and narrowband filters.
McDonald's #4927 (4,243 square feet)
3192 George Washington Memorial Highway, Hayes Shopping Center, Hayes, VA
Built and opened in 1979, renovated in spring 2006
This Playplace was added in May 2006 during the restaurant's interior renovation. It's the third one this location has had; the first one would've been all the metal equipment, and the second one was an early 90s addition (that most likely was added when the restaurant remodeled inside at that time) with tubes and a ball pit. That one was removed in 2003, and a local church possessed it for their own use until about 2007.
Another day, another location that can be crossed of my photographic hit-list!
Wistman’s Wood is located in the heart of Dartmoor and forms one of only three remote high-altitude oakwoods to remain there. The oldest Oaks are believed to be around 400-500 years old while the name is derived from the dialect word 'wisht' meaning 'eerie/uncanny', it’s quite easy to see why!
Unfortunately it also seems that my favourite lens, the Olympus 9-18mm will have to take a trip back for servicing, trying to use auto-focus on anything greater than 14mm is making some strange noises... here’s hoping for a quick turnaround.

One of the resident female Victoria's Riflebirds from wonderful Crater Lakers Cottages. Female & immature males have very similar plumage, the main difference between the two is the females extra long beak.
Today's sunset. Yesterday around sunset we got a lightning strike that knocked out the Internet and phone and toasted the alarm system. (Strangely, the computers were unaffected.) I spent about an hour with my new BFF at Comcast explaining that my phone wasn't working and all the lights were flashing on the modem. She went through her checklist (e.g.: "Is the phone plugged in? Have you tried another outlet? We don't see any problems on our end",... etc. etc.) Finally she scheduled a service visit for this morning. The guy showed up on time and replaced the modem. I'll have to deal with the alarm system next week. So if you're planning a heist, this weekend would be good. :-)
