Santa couldn't stand up for 20 minutes after posing with me!

Canon Digital Rebel 300D / EF-S 24/2.8 STM
I took this photo with the first digital SLR I ever purchased, way back in 2005. Most cameras I've had over the years I've sold off, but this one I held onto. And though the body shows clear signs of wear, the important bits still work. I take it off the shelf and shoot some frames with it whenever I'm feeling nostalgic.
But last night I wanted to put this old camera through some more serious paces -- what would it be like to shoot it the same way I've been shooting my behemoth GFX and cutting-edge Nikon Z? I put a 24mm pancake lens on the thing and placed it on a tripod and walked around some northern bits of Santa Clara.
And here's the results. There's all the things you'd expect: fewer megapixels, less sharpness, more grain, less information in the shadows and highlights. But the overall photo? From the thumbnail alone, I don't know if I'd be able to tell the difference.
The biggest difference by far was the experience of actually shooting the photos -- that's when I was really feeling the two decades of technology. Composing, focusing, exposing are all so much more difficult with the Digital Rebel than with new cameras. The meter is easily overwhelmed by bright light sources, focus is a guessing game, reviewing images practically pointless on the tiny little screen that doesn't even show you the actual RAW file anyway, and composing harkening back to the old film days where "what you see is only sort of what you get".
I don't think any of this is a profound revelation -- it all seems kind of obvious in retrospect. But it was fun to do anyway, and as I edit through the shots I'll post them up here to share them with you. This one might've been my favorite from the night.
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas and as usual in this period it's time for a Christmas themed creation.
This cozy shelter is the home of Santa Claus, who is preparing his world tour for delivering gifts. It's called Santa's Cottage and you can support it on LEGO IDEAS too.
If you like the bizarre Santa's Cottage please consider to give it a chance of becoming an actual LEGO IDEAS set. You can shortcut straight to LEGO IDEAS platform using this handy link:

Santa, who is coming home from a relaxing walk, has also a nice off-road vehicle painted with a color scheme matching with the cottage. You can spot it on the right.Santa's Cottage features a classic Xmas color scheme, an uncommon shape and an unconventional doors/windows style.
The main feature is probably the asymmetrical roof with a very sloping shape to the left. The woodshed is located under the excess roof.
The red/white/black color combo is simple but effective, and the snowy trees in the background match well.
Last but not least the door and windows are round, a shape rarely spotted on a cottage, but quite common in Hobbit houses.
If this house reminds you of anything you are right, it's basically my Blue Cottage set up for the Christmas holidays.
This is probably my last MOC for this year and I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Took the bus out to the sand dunes where the Baltic & North Seas meet. It was a bonus when the next bus to arrive was full of Santas and elves. There was some sort of Santa convention in Skagen.

Il est trop tôt mon Santa Cat
Où est ta crosse, où est ta mitre?
Où as-tu mis tes pains d’épice?
Il a enfilé son costume
Coiffé sa belle barbe blanche
Et le voilà déjà qui hume
Le petit salé sur la planche
Il est trop tôt mon Santa Cat
Où est ta crosse, où est ta mitre?
Ton cheval blanc!? Tes friandises!?

This is a wide view of the Santa Ana River. It has a bike path that you can take all the way to the ocean. At this spot you are about 20 miles from Huntington Beach. The road to the right is the 91 Freeway.
forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight
patrona de la asexualidad.
Ágata, que en griego significa buena, fue hija de una distinguida familia y de una asombrosa belleza. Perseguida por el Senador Quintianus, el cual le confesó su amor y ella rechazó, fue acusada de mujer malvada y de artes seductoras.
Quintianus entonces, la sometió a varias y crueles torturas. La entrego a Afrodisia, una mujer malvada, con la idea de que esta la sedujera con las tentaciones del mundo. Pero sus malas artes se vieron fustigadas por la virtud y la fidelidad a Cristo que demostró Santa Ágata. Finalmente ordenó que cortaran sus pechos, un detalle que fue adornado por la iconografía cristiana medieval como una peculiar característica de Ágata. Fue consolada por la visión de San Pedro quien milagrosamente la sanó, aunque muriese luego en alguna otra tortura infligida por el senador (muchas versiones dicen que murió quemada).
Catania y Palermo reclaman el honor de ser el lugar de nacimiento de Ágata. Su fiesta se celebra el 5 de febrero y su oficio en el Breviario romano está sacado en parte de los Actos Latinos. Catania honra a Santa Ágata como su santa patrona y en toda la región alrededor del Monte Etna ella es invocada contra las erupciones del volcán, contra el fuego y los rayos. En algunos lugares el pan y el agua son bendecidos durante la Misa en su fiesta después de la consagración y es llamado el “pan de Ágata”.
Para Freud, la injuria narcisista por excelencia la constituye la ausencia del pene en la mujer, lo cual se traduciría en un anhelo fálico con el propósito reparador de llenar su falta biológica. En el hombre, por otra parte, la ausencia del pene en la mujer encierra una amenaza percibida por el varón, en el plano afectivo, como un temor a la posibilidad de perder el suyo; un temor a la castración percibido como real por el niño.
La concepción freudiana es falocéntrica, de modo que la mujer resulta algo así como un hombre emasculado, agobiada por la envidia de querer poseer un falo que en algún momento perdió pero que podría, en circunstancias favorables, recuperar nuevamente. Por supuesto, ningún hombre, en condiciones naturales, ha perdido el pene ni ninguna mujer ha logrado que le crezca alguno. Lo expuesto sólo tiene un valor simbólico.
Karen Horney, Malanie Klein, Mary Langer, Helen Deutsch, entre otras psicoanalistas mujeres posteriores a Freud, plantearon la importancia de la envidia del hombre por el cuerpo de la mujer, el cual constituye un argumento bastante compatible con el fenómeno de la impronta, cuya importancia central en el desarrollo del ser humano estamos enfatizando en este ensayo.
Es factible suponer entonces que al lado de la envidia de la mujer hacia la sexualidad masculina, externa, aparente y concreta, existe también una envidia del hombre hacia el poder del cuerpo de la mujer, hacia su función materna creadora de vida, que a pesar de su importancia ha permanecido oculta en virtud de la intensa represión secular, cultural y psicológica en la que operaron conjuntamente, como ya lo he dicho, el varón y la Eva Delincuente.
Asexual: Persona bondadosa penetrada por la espiritualidad.
This advertisement is from the back cover of Home Arts magazine from January of 1936. Kind of shocking from today's perspective.

With Trinidad in the rearview, Amtrak's westbound Southwest Chief #3 notches up as it digs in at the beginning of Raton Pass. Despite it being nearly 30 years since the Santa Fe name stood alone, one can still find themselves observing stainless passenger equipment snaking through Colorado and New Mexico under the Chief branding.
Taken at Santa Cruz, California, USA on 2/6/19. The photographer that pointed this hummingbird out to me referred to it as an Allen's hummingbird, but would like verification. Thanks.

Santa Fe Caboose on the siding, a bit far from home since it is sitting in the Smokey Mountains, interesting find in North Carolina.
La Basilica dedicata a Santa Maria Salome, discepola di Gesù e protettrice di Veroli (Frosinone), sorge nel luogo dove, nel 1209, furono ritrovati i suoi resti mortali.
Inizialmente la chiesa era un semplice oratorio, poi distrutto da un terremoto nel 1350: ricostruita e riconsacrata nel 1492, venne poi ulteriormente ristrutturata nel corso del Settecento.
Al suo interno è presente la Scala Santa, costruita nel Settecento e composta da 12 gradini di marmo (nell'undicesimo è racchiusa una presunta reliquia della Croce).
Di fronte alla Basilica sorge il Seminario, che, dalla seconda metà del 1700, ospita la Biblioteca Giovardiana, una delle più antiche biblioteche pubbliche d'Italia.
----------
The Basilica dedicated to Santa Maria Salome, disciple of Jesus and protector of Veroli (a village in Latium region, Italy), stands in the place where, in 1209, her mortal remains were found.
Initially the church was a simple oratory, then destroyed by an earthquake in 1350: rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1492, it was then further renovated during the eighteenth century. Inside there is the Holy Staircase, built in the eighteenth century and made up of 12 marble steps (the eleventh contains an alleged relic of the Cross). Opposite the Basilica stands the Seminary, which, since the second half of the 1700s, has housed the Giovardiana Library, one of the oldest public libraries in Italy.
This guy was loitering around the carnival at Liverpool One. I'm told he's one of the good guys but he looked dodgy to me.
