Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫
Waterscape 4 of 100 for 2025.
This massive rock sits proudly in the middle of Deadman's Beach. I've often wondered how it ended up there—what geological forces shaped its journey?
Today, as I looked at the photo, it struck me: the rock resembles a giant bao bun buried in the sand. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole exploring the history of bao buns. Originating in Northern China, bao dates back to the Three Kingdoms period in the 3rd century, with some evidence pointing as far back as 400 BC.
And then it all made sense: giant, rock-eating aliens with a penchant for Chinese cuisine must have dropped this here during one of their visits in ancient times. Mystery solved. You're welcome!
Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!
P.S. Speaking of buns, if you’ve got 3 minutes, I recommend this touching animation about motherhood and buns:
”Summer is here! It's hot and sunny outside. Finally summer!
How do your Dolls spend the warmest time of the year?
Everybody can participate!”
Well....it might be hot and sunny outside, but Euro Uncle has decided that in summer 2016 he will finally solve the mystery of Rubik's cube!
I was tagged by Connie- thanks!

Timmy’s biggest problem right now is getting enough cuddles. With this heat, I hardly ever see him except at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and at 9:30 p.m. for dinner. If I’m lucky, like now, he hears me when I go out to the garden in the early evening. He comes out, still half-asleep, and climbs up his ladder. I have to go down two steps on the little staircase to the garden. Then our heads are at the same height, and we can relax and cuddle to our hearts’ content.
Happy Caturday 11.7.2026 "Solving our cat's problems"
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

Wisconsin Northern L2 spots tanks and plastic hoppers next to the faded C&NW station sign in Bloomer, Wisconsin with an ex-Reserve Mining SD38-2 for power.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
I finally figured out what happened with this shot. While reorganizing some photos I came across the first roll shot on my Canonet way back in January. The photos had to be saturated (at the time using Picasa2) because they came out too pale--two of the photos can be seen here and here.
Well, judging by the second roll shot on the same camera, the problem is the film. This roll was part of the same batch of Fuji Superia 200 purchased on eBay. The film is not expired. The date on the package reads 2007/11 but this film was not purchased by the seller in the US like he said (closeout at B&H) because all the characters in the back of the box are Vietnamese. Perhaps that has everything to do with the quality of the film?
I have a few more of these. Should I post them? ;-)

Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!

Often we are visited by thoughts that may reveal something unknown ... Our mind many times tries to solve a problem with known methods ... This is its main mistake! The path of the heart opens the doors that appear in our path. It is a pity that not everyone has the courage to insert the keys that are always with us ...

Been planning to do this one for many months, could never build up the gumption to do it.
More work than my usual shot.
Tried making black PlayDoh using white and some old inkjet ink, ended up more gray.
A few weeks ago I picked up a great assortment of PlayDoh, many colors including black. So I molded and cut and pasted the thing up last week.
Got the courage to shoot it tonight. And mind you, the flash has been misbehaving.
But it got the shot, my solution for the classic Rubics Cube.
My camera for the stereo shot arrived Wednesday. A used G6. I messed around with it and got a nice shot of a Christmas bulb filled with jello. Focusing is a pain, but at first blush, the depth of field is greater than my D90.
The G6 was 135$ shipped, so a cheap camera will do a good job with this type of photo. It's all in the flash, folks.
