6:18 one of the last photos of the session in the long awaited mist or rather fog. I was looking also for some sun but there were no rays at all. The light was easy anyway - lower the contrasts, better the backgrounds. Beautiful morning in the type I like very much.

And a little jazz tune from planet earth:

When I was in my 40's, I used to dress up and go to a cigar club owned by one of the Hollywood legends on Saturday nights. It had smoky mahogany walls and ceilings and beautiful, rich red elegant chairs that one could almost melt into, fantastic oil paintings on the walls.. I was often the only woman there, and those of us there knew we were there for the gorgeous piano jazz. The place is gone now, but I have lovely memories of the music, and can go back if I close my eyes.
Today the KCS no longer exists as an independent company. Now part of the CPKC.
With the exception of a few trips to Mississippi, most of my experience with the KCS has been along the former Gateway Western lines. The KCS takeover of the ATSF dependent GWWR brought stability to a line that had become redundant to the newly formed BNSF. The KCS continued the upgrade of the physical plant that GWWR started and the route is now in better shape than ever. The Bartlett Grain loading facility at Jacksonville has brought much needed traffic to an under utilized line and hopefully the new company will continue to bring in additional business.
I must admit that from a railfan point of view that after being able to photograph GWWR and ATSF powered trains, I initially wasn't really excited with the KCS takeover with their gray engines and all but when they brought back the Southern Belle scheme first to the business train and then to the rest of the fleet my opinion quickly changed.
Shown here is a westbound extra MESKC passing through the small village of Hillview IL on a Saturday afternoon in March of 2016. In a few miles they will cross the Illinois River at Pearl. The lead units look great in the belle scheme. Goodbye KCS.

Swahili racing teams come together several times a year to compete in traditional hand-crafted Arabic-styled Mashua dhows in the Lamu Archipelago just off Kenya's northern Swahili Coast.
Intense village rivalries build over the years, often reaching pitch fever on race day. This magnificent racing dhow and crew are in the lead as they move into the final leg of the race. They are the ultimate winners and will return to their village on the island of Pate with team bragging rights and a certain village swagger that will likely last several months until the next race.
Six crewmen in the lead dhow are perched on an adjustable plank that hangs out over the choppy waters for added balance, speed, and stability. About sixteen young crewmen all together are crowded into each dhow to give the necessary weight, balance and stability against a stiff coastal trade wind.
The ubiquitous trade winds have been instrumental in the evolution of Swahili culture and commerce over the years since it was first established in the 14th Century as an Omani trading outpost and settlement on the classic coastal run between Zanzibar and the Arabic world further to the north.
The art of Swahili dhow racing requires considerable team skill as the dhows tack and manoeuvre back and forth through the Manda channel and ultimately out to the edge of the open sea. The finest dhows are selected from each village to race under sail through a complicated series of buoys, combining speed and balance with elaborate tacking and maneuvering competence.
The races are usually organized in conjunction with a cultural festival or an Islamic religious holiday. This Shela-based race on the island of Lamu is organized yearly by Peponi's on New Year's Day.

PREFACE
"SHADHINOTA is My Cause for the 40th Celebration of BANGLADESH Independence. The land, the mighty rivers and the natural beauty makes Bangladesh a land of unparalleled splendor and magnificence. Bangladesh was liberated after a prolonged war of Independence the declaration of which was given on 26th MARCH 1971. One of the worst genocides Genocide in history took place at the behest of an autocratic regime in the name of Political stability spearheaded by the then Pakistan President Yah ya Khan. After 9 months of Liberation water and the sacrifice of 3 million lives Victory came. In addition to the loss of lives countless others were rendered homeless, the infrastructure including roads and bridges and factories lay in ruins. The people of Bangladesh have shown time and again how resilient they are. After each and every disaster, natural or man-made the people have again stood up and started all over again from scratch.
My Effort here is to pay tribute to the valiant sons of the soil and the ‘die hard’ attitude of a people who can still smile in the face of adversity however great it may be. I plan to make a collage of images that represent the lives of the people of Bangladesh. I encourage you to upload a photo each day till I have a total of 40 images for the Cause SHADHINOTA in the group Frame BANGLADESH"
To be Continued till 26th March 2011

Outrigger boats (bangka) are used in the Philippines at all sizes. You can find them from small canoes to midsize ferry boats.
The outrigger canoe is a type of canoe featuring one or more lateral support floats known as outriggers, which are fastened to one or both sides of the main hull. Smaller canoes often employ a single outrigger on the port side, while larger canoes may employ a single outrigger, double outrigger, or double hull configuration.
Using an outrigger or double hull configuration greatly increases the stability of the canoe, but introduces much less hydrodynamic inefficiency than making a single hull canoe wider. Compared to other types of canoes, outrigger canoes can be quite fast, yet are also capable of being paddled and sailed in rougher water.

Meridian Line built by Francesco Bianchini. Stability of the site over centuries is a requirement for high precision astrometry such as the inclination of the Earth axis over its orbit plan. The exact durations of a lunar month and a tropical year were other scientific tasks of this Meridian Line.

Standing motionless behind the protection of branches and fallen trees, these native Mule Deer watched me cautiously. Their large radar ears shifted at my every movement. Mimicking their stillness, I stood there in the open field like a ridiculous statue dressed in thick winter's clothing. I shifted my weight ever so slightly, adjusting the front foot for stability. The twigs underneath crunched and the smaller doe twitched nervously...And in that second, I snapped a series of shots.
I have been searching for them all season long. A few weeks ago, I caught sight of two large stags dashing out of the dense trees, only to quickly disappeared. It will be snowing again soon, and I'm sure we'll meet again...

I shot this picture in 1983
[Explored on April 8, 2013]
I always seem to get these bleak and dreary looking shots when I shoot in the morning under overcast conditions. I suppose it's because that's just how it really looks. The strength of the waves was very unpredictable, so I was moving back and forth from the water line trying to set my tripod in a good position. Of course I had the tripod legs spread wide for extra stability since the surf is pretty darn strong. I retreated several times from various waves until finally I got caught by one that submerged my tripod up to the ball head and sprayed sea water all over my filters, lens, and camera body. I think I grabbed my gear and ran just in the nick of time, but prematurely ended the photo shoot for the morning.
For this shot I initially tried a Lee 0.9 ND hard grad filter but found that the hard transition didn't work under the lighting conditions. I switched to a 0.9 ND soft filter and that seemed to work better.

NB: Several kilometres of turning space are required to avoid tall obstacles.

The heart does not look for an easy stability. Augustine again uses similar language to that of Gregory of Nyssa in describing the never-ceasing pilgrimage of the heart or spirit or mens (an important concept for Augustine, as including understanding and will or love together). Desire impels us on, so ‘let us run, let us strain forward’ (en. in Ps. 38.6); for ‘the only way you can be perfect in this life is by knowing that you cannot be perfect in this life’ (ibid. 14). ‘It is a great evil to have no hope in this life’ (en. in Ps. 129.10). The heart is ‘perfect’ when it knows what it lacks (in Ps. 38.14), knows that there will be no resting place for it among the things of earth. To be in the way of salvation is to be dissatisfied, ‘disquieted within’, never complacent about your condition or secure in your understanding or your stable spiritual attainment (in Ps, 41.10–12). The psalmist says (in Augustine’s Latin version), ‘I poured out my soul beyond myself’ (super me); that is where final delight is to be sought. The mystery of the depths of the self directs us beyond the world of clear and orderly sense experience but is itself only a stage on the road to the greater mystery of God: there is no substantial continuity between soul and God (in Ps. 41.7–8). So there is no rest in mere self-awareness, because to know the self properly is to see it set in the midst of the vast landscape of God’s workings, a landscape with no human map, trusting only to the hand of God. Once having glimpsed this vastness and heard the distant sounds of the ‘holiday of heaven’ (ibid. 9), the spirit must live by hope, knowing as clearly as ever it will that nothing else can substitute for that vision and its delights.

Added legs, tried a new way for the hands. Articulation and stability is way way better than the previous version now!
It is a matter of concern that free people needs peace, harmony and stability.
BahaI, house of worship. The Bah'i Faith is an independent world region, divine in origin and scientific in its method.

Quite possibly my worst build ever in terms of stability.

Are you not better than a pine? Do not grieve but find real joy and peace in my Lord.

These are the swords we built for BW this year. They were inspired both by Sean's epic sword and the wing piece. :) It was rather fun playing with the handle in order to fill up all the holes but it came at the expense of stability (and several other builds I wanted to build xP). In the end you can only hold this sword in one way or it'll break in half. xD

Imaging planetary interiors using seismic pulses was one of the most important tasks before deciding whether the Federation should colonise and terraform a new planet. Shallower resources could be mined, and deeper strata revealed information about the planet's composition and tectonic stability.

C'è sempre aria fredda pur se splende il sole ! Una notizia è che quel pesco ornamentale che avevo postato ghiacciato, non sta fiorendo, quei petali un pò fioriti dai germogli stanno volando via nell'aria fredda !
****
Fino alla metà di aprile le settimane trascorreranno tra giornate miti e soleggiate e fasi piovose e relativamente fredde, con le piogge che bagneranno con insistenza le regioni settentrionale e centrali, accompagnate ancora da nevicate !
Nella seconda parte di aprile invece l'atmosfera tenderà ad una maggior stabilità e le regioni cominceranno a correre spedite verso l'estate, ma solo nelle regioni meridionali. Nel resto dell'Italia il tempo rimarrà più incerto !
Nell'ultima parte della stagione l'alta pressione si impadronirà dell'Italia con giornate calde e piene di sole !

There is always cold air even if the sun is shining! A news is that that ornamental peach tree I had posted frozen, is not blooming, those petals a flowery from the buds are wishing away in the cold air!
****
Up to the middle of April the weeks will pass between mild and sunny days and rainy and relatively cold phases, with the rains that will steeply insist the northern and central regions, still accompanied by snow!
In the second part of April, however, the atmosphere will tend to a greater stability and the regions will begin to run sped towards the summer, but only in the southern regions. In the rest of Italy the weather will remain more uncertain!
In the last part of the season the high pressure will seize Italy with hot and sunny days!

Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.
Purple Represents Wisdom, Bravery, and Spirituality
Purple also represents wisdom and spirituality. ... For instance, light purples are associated with light-hearted, romantic energies while darker shades can represent sadness and frustration.
Being a personality color purple, you have a peaceful and tranquil quality and a quiet dignity about you. People are drawn to your charismatic and alluring energy. ... With your personality color purple you inspire others with your creative thinking and your ability to deal positively with adversity.
My thank you to Snipes.
"In late 2010, Sweetwater receiver a call from the SAS, who had intercepted a Russian Convoy, which were carrying nuclear components.
The SAS operators found multiple 'Korobovs', TKB-022s, which were in perfect condition, but very primitive.
The SAS wanted Sweetwater to modernize the TKB-022, but nobody at Sweetwater Texas was able to do the job, as it is a very difficult weapon to work with.
A few months later, in 2011, Sweetwater Holland was opened, which had a new crew of designers, to modify and create weapons, all in their own ways.
Sweetwater Texas asked Sweetwater Holland if they had anyone to do the job of the Korobov, and Sweetwater Junior Designer 'Juice' said yes."

Camp Adventure Forest Tower
Denderupvej 9A, 4683 Rønnede
Camp Adventure welcomes you to the spectacular 45 meter high Forest Tower in Gisselfeld Kloster's forests close to high Forest Tower in Gisselfeld Kloster's forests close to EFFEKT Architects and completes an ambition to create an aesthetically beautiful construction and a unique experience of nature.
The cylinder shape was starting point for the construction, maximizing the base and the top while minimizing the center. The structure is a so-called hyperboloid form. The long vertical steel pipes aren't bent, but rotated 120 °, giving a curved expression, like an hourglass. This not only increases stability, but also enhances the experiencer, as the tree tops come close to the narrow middle piece. Moving up, the view tower broadens and the landscape opens as the distance between the ramps increases. It all culminates at the top with a 360° view of the landscape.
The main structure is made from corten steel - its reddish brown color fitting well with the colors of the forest. The oak boards on the ramp are made from local South Zealand oak trees from Bregentved and Gisselfeld Estates. All timber is PEFC-certified.
