Met up with Steve for a quick mid-morning shoot at Sutro Baths. We both liked how the large rock that's in this frame looked so we made our way along the paths (and off the paths) to get to this lookout. I liked the strange symbols on the sticks and wanted to try to create a strange surreal atmosphere with this image.
I asked some people at work which part of the image they concentrated on - the sticks in the foreground or the large rock. I got different answers which means this one is probably suffering from 2-images-in-1 syndrome, but I thought I'd post it anyways.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.

After snatching a shad from the river’s façade, a country’s symbol of unity flashes a passing glance at its observers. In 1782 the bald eagle became the national symbol of the United States. It had already been held as a sacred symbol by the native people of this land who had inhabited this continent long before most of our forefathers ever set foot on North American soil. What had become a nation of immigrants chose this bird not of as a symbol of divisiveness, but as s emblem of unity. At a time when relationships between a nations immigrant majority and its native peoples were not the best, the creators of this national symbol chose to honor its native peoples by incorporating some of their tools, as symbols of strength, into an emblem to represent our country. Our forefathers meant it to represent a nation of acceptance, diversity, and tolerance. It is a vision of a nation that seems long lost as we stand to take a step into a new presidency, and our national symbol flashes a passing glance at a great nation of immigrants that has forgotten its own history. #BaldEagle

"And yet it moves" or "Albeit It does move" (Italian: Eppur si muove; [epˈpur si ˈmwɔːve]) is a phrase said to have been uttered before the Inquisition by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) in 1633 after being forced to recant his claims that the Earth moves around the Sun rather than the converse. In this context, the implication of the phrase is: despite this recantation, the Church's proclamations to the contrary, or any other conviction or doctrine of men, the Earth does, in fact, move around the sun, and not vice versa. As such, the phrase is used today as a sort of pithy retort implying that "it doesn't matter what you believe or what I say; these are the facts".
Restent les mots,puisque, aussi bien, de nos jours c'est cette même querelle qui se poursuit. Les mots sont sujets à se grouper selon les affinités particulières, lesquelles ont généralement pour effet de leurs faire recréer à chaque instant le monde sur son vieux modèle. Tout se passe en-dehors de l'individuel; que dis-je, comme si cette réalité était immuable. Dans l'ordre de la constatation pure et simple, si tant est que nous l'envisagions, il nous faut une certitude absolue pour avancer quelque chose de neuf, quelque chose qui soit de nature à heurter le sens commun. Le fameux E pur, si muove ! dont Galilée aurait fait survivre à voix basse l'abjuration de sa doctrine, demeure toujours de circonstance. Tout homme d'aujourd'hui, soucieux de se conformer aux directions de son époque, se sent-il, par exemple, en mesure de faire la part dans son langage des dernières découvertes biologiques ou de la théorie de la relativité ?

The little Smena has a good lens, probably at least as good as the D. Zuiko of my Trip 35. Good contrast and colours despite long expired film. All shots were taken guessing exposure and focus distance (not bad). I think I'm getting good at this, but the weather symbols on the shutter speed ring of the lens barrel proved very helpful too.
Le chrisme est un symbole chrétien ancien reprenant les deux premières lettres du mot « Christ » en grec : Χριστός.
Le « chi | X » et le « rhô | P » sont souvent accompagné de l'alpha (α) et l'oméga (ω) pour symboliser le commencement et la fin.

Tigzirt, l'antique Iomnium, aurait été fondée entre 147 et 145 av. J-C. À l'origine, elle n'était constituée que d'un petit port et d'un cantonnement militaire.
Après une longue période d'instabilité au cours de laquelle Iomnium n'a eu que peu d'importance, l'empereur romain d'ascendance berbère, Septime Sévère, confie à Julius Félix, notable de l'actuelle Dellys, la mission d'étendre la cité.
C'est donc au IIIe siècle ap. J-C qu'un temple dédié au génie local est érigé afin d'attirer les fidèles des contrées environnantes vers la ville naissante. Iomnium croît au point d'obtenir le statut de municipe romain.
Au Ve siècle, alors que la ville est sous contrôle byzantin, une grande basilique chrétienne est construite.

Published by Golden Books from 1961 to 1965, this is one of four books in a slip-cover set designed to excite families about the joys that awaited them in the World of Walt Disney.
The books included: Fantasyland, Nature, America, and Stories from Other Lands. I found this copy of the Fantasyland book for $4 at my Friends of the Library Bookstore. Boxed sets on eBay run about $30 on the lower end.
I like the old-school feel of the illustrations--this is the Disney I grew up with.
Artistic lifeguard towers became a symbol of a revived Miami Beach following Hurricane Andrew in 1992. This particular tower was commissioned by Chris Blackwell who owns the Tides Hotel in Miami Beach.
The temple of Castor and Pollux, regarded as the symbol of Agrigento, Sicily, Italy.
The Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temples) is an archaeological site in Agrigento (ancient Greek Akragas). It is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy. The area was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1997.
The Archaeological and Landscape Park of the Valley of the Temples is the largest archaeological site in the world with 1.300 hectares.
The term "valley" is a misnomer, the site being located on a ridge outside the town of Agrigento, which you can see in the background of this photo.
Sometimes you just get lucky...this beautiful fella was basking in the early morning sunlight perched atop an old pylon. I used a 500mm with a 1.4x converter so I could fill the frame and get as much detail as possible. Look at those claws, yikes!!!
So, sick of eagle photos yet? I am! I've been up here for 5 days photographing these big birds. They are BIG! I was so close to one yesterday I could have reached out and pet him (but I wouldnt dare!) They are like seagulls up here so I have hundreds of eagle shots.
They have 6+ foot wingspans and when they swoop in overhead you can heard the wind as it channels through their feathers...it's an amazing sound you'll never forget.
Well it's time to pack up...I fly back to California tomorrow.
Hope you are all well!
Edit: I am on the Kenai Peninsula in the Homer/Arena Point area.

Flags are symbolic of most countries and their values. In this week when we, in the United States, transition to a new leader, there is deepening hope that our freedoms really will remain free for all Americans. The "stars and stripes" have endured centuries of misaligned efforts to undermine our nation's core values, but it continues to fly with dignity and honor.
Interestingly the Stars and Stripes (newspaper), as a publication, was my only connection to the US news when living in Korea during my high school days many years ago. News and journalism have changed dramatically but the expectation is that the freedom of press, the freedom of speech, will continue to be our foundation....a right worth fighting for!

Harry Nelson
Bats: Unknown • Throws: Left
Born: March 14, 1884 in Batavia, Illinois
Died: June 26, 1950 (Aged 66) in Oakland, CA
Full Name: Harry Edward Nelson
Nicknames: Slim
Both of his parents were born in Sweden
(Morning Oregonian., September 19, 1907 ) - Tacoma 1, Aberdeen 0. - TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 18. (Special.) In the most brilliant game of ball played on the Tacoma field this season "Slim" Nelson today beat Aberdeen 1 to 0. Nelson allowed but one hit in the game, a two-bagger to Boettlnger in the sixth Inning. He gave no bases on balls and did not hit a batter. In fact, Boettlnger was the only Aberdeen player to reach first base in the nine innings. Just 28 batters faced Nelson. Behind this phenomenal pitching the Tigers played superb ball. Besides performing wonderfully In the box. Nelson was active with the bat. He laced out one three-bagger and added a single the next time up.
In 1908, Slim Nelson threw a no-hitter against Oakland in the outlaw California State League. The only run of the game came on a home run by Nelson.
(San Francisco Call, Volume 106, Number 60, 30 July 1909) DEAN OF OAKLAND BALL FANS DIES - Peter Nelson, Veteran Enthusiast of National Game, Passes Away at Fabibla Hospital - OAKLAND, July 29.— Peter Olaf Nelson, dean of the Oakland baseball fans, died at Fabibla hospital this morning, ending a residence of 24 years in Oakland. For many years Nelson was the chief rooter at the league baseball games in this city. He lived at 1357 Twenty-third avenue, East Oakland. His son, Harry, better known as "Slim" Nelson, is now pitching for the Oakland Coast league team, and another son, "Bill," is catching' for a team In Mexico. Nelson was 53 years old and a native of Sweden.
(San Francisco Call, Volume 108, Number 159, 6 November 1910) - "SLIM" NELSON AN OAKLAND PRODUCT - He is One Player Whom None of the Fans Ever "Crab" At - Slim Nelson's head extends higher in the air than that of any other ball player in the Pacific coast league, and if he trained like Bat Nelson trains there Is no question that he could make the feather weight limit any time he wanted to start. : But he's a pitcher, not a boxer, so he don't have to weigh in.
Unlike most of the tossers on the Oakland team, Slim is a native product. Up to three years ago he had never broken away from the wilds of East Oakland, where he was born and where he used to throw rocks at lamp posts and Chinese washhouse. This is how he used to practice control when he was a kid, and he never lost the knack either.
Lou Schroder, who used to run the Alameda state league some three or four years ago, is the discoverer of the elongated slabster. He picked him out of a gang that was tossing rocks at a Chinese laundry one afternoon. Schroder noticed that the tall, Swedish American youth broke more windows in less time than any of the others. He immediately came to the conclusion that he would grab this kid and make a pitcher out of him. All he had to do was to offer Slim the job. The rest was easy.
In his first year with the state league the human sky scraper, was a go. He liked to pitch, and he soon developed a line, of curves that made all the opposing bushers worry. He pitched ball just like he pitched rocks at the oriental washing and ironing establishments. His control was great, and he generally hit the bullseye.
After a year and a half in the state league Slim's fame began to spread. It spread so rapidly and covered so much ground that they soon heard about him over in Oakland. They heard so much about him that one day Pa Van Haltren, who was then driving the Oakland band wagon, took a run over to Alameda to watch Slim work. He watched the long fellow for about three innings. Then he gave him a job. This, in brief, is the story, of how Slim introduced himself to fame. He became a big leaguer just as soon as he and Van Haltren had exchanged a few words. Van took him over, to Oakland and had him measured for a special uniform. This was necessary, otherwise they would have slipped him one of the castoffs. However, one peek at Slim convinced Van that he would have to contract for a special suit for the new slabster.
Oakland evidently looks good to Nelson, for he has never strayed away from the transbay team. This is his third season and he seems to like it better now than the first day he joined the team. He knows everybody in Oakland and they all know him. He has no enemy in all the world. They never roast Slim like they do the other pitchers, because they know that it will not do the slightest good In the world.
Slim never took himself seriously, and therefore he can not makeup his mind to take anybody or anything else seriously. He just goes on his way, kidding along and getting by. If he loses a game, it's all right, and if he wins one, well, it's a little better. But he never fumes or rages or goes into raptures over anything, not even when he makes a home run, and it is a matter of public record that he has made two since he linked himself to organized baseball, some two and a half years ago.
Many of the players believe that this quaint southpaw would have found his way back, to one of the big organizations ere this if he only took life and baseball a little more seriously. But such a thing seems impossible for Slim. He's against all the serious stuff either on or off the diamond. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the fans all over the circuit like him so much. Anyhow you never hear them calling him a "bone head" or a "rubber skull" or a "busher," or anything like that.
It is the general belief that Nelson is a sort of fixture with the Oakland club. Players come and go every year, but Slim still holds on. And so long as he pitches good baseball he's bound to be a hit with the fans. Occasionally they bat him out of the box just as they do the other pitchers, but then Slim does not worry and he never gets sore when the relief man comes along to take his job.
(The Evening Statesman, January 31, 1910) - Reds Want Nelson. - Business Manager Frank Bancroft of the Cincinnati Reds is trying to buy pitcher Slim Nelson of the Oakland club. Oakland wants a great deal more money for Nelson than Bancroft is willing to pay, though poor Nelson has been working for a mere pittance over the last two years. He pitched a few games for the All Nationa's this winter and thus made good with Bancroft.
(Morning Oregonian., April 26, 1910) - "Slim" Nelson, the comic twirler of the Oakland club, has more fun on the coaching lines than any other player in the league. "Slim" likes to kid the stands and the bleacherites as well as they like to jolly the funny man of the Athenian herd. "Slim" is funny enough - without the antics he cuts up.
(Sporting Life - 27 May 1911) - Southpaw pitcher "Slim" Nelson has been released by the Oakland Club.
(The San Francisco Call., April 28, 1912) - Slim Nelson, formerly one of the Oaks' firing line, a southpaw, has joined the American Rubber company nine, one of the fastest, if not the fastest, amateur nine about the bay. Slim acquitted himself well Sunday.
(The San Francisco call., April 25, 1912) - Rubber Nine Defeats
Y. M. I. by Nose - The American Rubber company team yesterday defeated the Washington council of the Young Men's Institute at the Emeryville grounds by the score of 6 to 5 after 11 innings of hard fought baseball. McGushin of the losers pitched the better ball, allowing the hard hitting American Rubber boys but six scattered hits and fanning 16. The umpire was responsible for the defeat of the Washington council, as the home run that "Slim" Nelson, the former Oakland southpaw, secured was foul by many feet. He was off in calling balls and strikes also.
