They love playing... but once you've perfected something you have to start searching for a new toy. I would rather search for a new model or location.

On Unst, Shetland’s northernmost island, a striking Viking longhouse and ship replica offer a vivid glimpse into Norse life and legacy.
Unst is believed to be the first landfall of Vikings in the North Atlantic, and today it boasts the highest density of rural Viking sites in the world—over 60 longhouse remains have been identified across the island. The Viking Unst Project, centered in Haroldswick, brings this history to life through two captivating reconstructions: a 9th-century longhouse and the Skidbladner, a replica of the famed Gokstad ship.
The longhouse, built using traditional materials and techniques, stands as a tactile interpretation of Norse domestic architecture. Its turf walls, timber frame, and central hearth evoke the communal warmth and practicality of Viking living. Visitors can explore the interior freely, gaining insight into how families cooked, slept, and gathered in these elongated, multifunctional spaces. The reconstruction draws on archaeological findings from three key Unst sites—Hamar, Underhoull, and Belmont—each revealing layers of Norse settlement from around 1025 to 1220.
Just steps away, the Skidbladner rests beside Harold’s Wick, its sleek silhouette echoing the seafaring prowess of Viking explorers. Modeled after the Gokstad ship discovered in Norway, this replica showcases the craftsmanship and navigational ingenuity that enabled Norse expansion across Europe. With its clinker-built hull and graceful curves, the ship is both a tribute to Viking engineering and a symbol of their adventurous spirit.
Together, the longhouse and ship form a compelling open-air museum, accessible year-round and free to explore. They’re not just static displays—they’re immersive storytelling tools, anchoring Unst’s identity in its Norse heritage. Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of settlers or marveling at maritime design, these reconstructions offer a tangible connection to a time when Unst was a frontier of Viking ambition.

Rathaus underground station in Cologne, Germany
A pleasing contrast of midnight blue and silvery gleam
When completed, the new north–south suburban railway line in Cologne will have eight stops. While the last stretch of the line is scheduled to come into operation in 2016, Rathaus station has already proven itself fit for everyday operation. Located directly beneath the historic market, Rathaus underground station provides quick and convenient access to the centre of Cologne's historic Altstadt (old town) district, which was previously only accessible by bus.
The station, covering almost 3,000 m², lies 16 metres below ground. Its design is characterised by a fresh contrast of midnight blue and silver. A large proportion of the wall area is velvety-smooth blue, while the ceilings and certain sections of the walls are a shiny silver. The walls and ceilings are clad in hot-dip galvanised and powdercoated steel sheet modules, which are perforated in the ceiling area so that they also absorb sound.
Above the entrances, main traffic areas and footpaths throughout the station, WE-EF DOC240 recessed exterior downlights ensure excellent visibility and safety as well as aid orientation. The luminaires had to be integrated into various building situations – either installed in circular sections of the expanded metal ceilings or combined with an installation tube and mounted directly on the concrete ceilings. The DOC240 downlights in the underground station have proven to be versatile, not just in terms of the installation and mounting options, but also in relation to lighting techniques.
While the stairways and escalators are illuminated from a relatively high position, the height between floors in the main traffic areas is rather low. With different light sources in varying wattages – in this case HIT and CFL lamps, and two symmetric light distributions [M] medium and [EE] very narrow beam – the WE-EF luminaires provide exactly the right amount of light for the unique spaces.
All DOC240 downlights used in this project are fitted with vibration protection in order to extend their service life. Luminaires mounted at especially high installation positions are equipped with a device to lower the luminaire to facilitate ease of maintenance.

Trying out that cool iPhone technique- tap the object and you can copy or share.
So how do I get it to be on black instead of white? Patricia Lane Evans ?
I get to observe a number of birds while they are foraging and either I've been asleep or have never seen a Little Blue Heron employ the old toe tapping technique of the Snowy Egret! This guy was doing just that and the minute the poor hapless fish made a move to escape the toe it ended up in the beak!!! Photo was taken on Horsepen Bayou!!

Local Muong girls harvesting tea leaves, Long Coc, Vietnam
Tea production is a cornerstone of Vietnam’s economy, with the country ranking as the 7th largest tea producer globally, and supporting the livelihoods of over 400,000 families, particularly in rural and mountainous areas. Workers rise with the sun to handpick around 15 kilograms of tea leaves each morning, ensuring freshness and quality. Beyond its economic impact, traditional tea cultivation and processing techniques, passed down through generations, reflect Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and the dedication of its people.

I continue to have fun temporarily with pieces from the PaB without my stock pieces. Of them little can be done but when there's only a plastic Cup... The desire to build immediately increased. Can the pressure is gone and the duty to do something unimaginable without giving the abyss pieces. Oh well - soon I finish moving and will be content better :-)
After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

A trio of female southern white rhinoceroses at Longleat Safari Park is playing a crucial role in a desperate race against time to save the northern white rhino from extinction
A team of international scientists is attempting to save the
sub-species, which is down to its last two surviving individuals, from disappearing forever by using assisted reproductive technologies and stem-cell associated techniques.
Eggs collected from Razina, Ebun and Murashi at Longleat will be used as part of the ground-breaking scientific work to create viable northern white rhino offspring.
Initially it is hoped embryos created from their eggs will be implanted into surrogate southern white rhino mothers in the first stage of a plan which aims to effectively resurrect the northern white rhinos’ dying bloodline.
Longleat is the first UK-based zoological collection to be involved in this ground-breaking project, with a number of other zoos in mainland Europe also participating.
“The aim is to use eggs collected from our females, fertilise them in vitro, and then implant them into surrogate female southern white rhinos at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya,” said Longleat’s lead rhino keeper Leah Russell.
“If this proves successful, they will then attempt implanting 12 pure northern rhino embryos, which have been fertilised with frozen sperm from deceased males, into southern surrogates,” she added.
The BioRescue research consortium (www.biorescue.org) is being led by Professor Thomas Hildebrandt, who is head of the Department of Reproduction Management at Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) and Professor of Wildlife Reproduction Medicine at Freie Universität Berlin.
“BioRescue is such a challenging and complex conservation science project. Therefore, it is really important that we are joined by competent international partners such as Longleat to master this ambitious mission,” said Professor Thomas Hildebrandt.
Once the eggs are extracted, Professor Hildebrandt and his team will have a race against time to get them back to the Avantea laboratory in Italy where they will be fertilised using sperm from a male white rhino, prior to being flown to Africa for the implantation procedures.
The northern white rhino is a subspecies of white rhino, which used to range over parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Years of widespread poaching and civil war in their home range have devastated northern white rhino populations, and they are now considered to be extinct in the wild.
The two surviving northern white rhinos Fatu and Najin, both females, live under 24-hour armed guard on the 360 km² Ol Pejeta Conservancy, near Mount Kenya.
Sudan, the last surviving male northern white rhinoceros, died of an age-related illness at Ol Pejeta on the 19th of March, 2018.
If the treatment proves successful it is hoped it could also be used, alongside conservation programmes, to help boost numbers of other highly endangered species
Information by Longleat Safari Park.
I had heard about a technique quite a while ago and I have been meaning to try it one day, it consists of taking an object, photographing it multiple times all around it and then blending the layers in varying opacity in photoshop.
This is my first attempt - 12 photos taken around this nice little pot of lavender, blended in PS. I've then added some textures to finish the look. The left-hand image is my base image or starting point as a comparison.
The technique can be used on outdoor objects as well like trees, statues, fountains, buildings etc, etc...

Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads
Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作，撲紙，寫色，裝上裝飾配件。
'Life in an Alpine Meadow'
An eclectic collection of macro and close-up images from our recent trip to the Western Tyrol region of Austria, where I was able to spend time photographing subjects that I would normally ignore and experimenting with different techniques that I haven't tried at home. Rather than letting these photos 'gather dust' on a hard-drive, I thought I'd make a Flickr album as a useful reminder for when we return next year.
____________________________________________________
This first photo of an ant foraging deep inside the throat of a Trumpet Gentian [Gentiana acaulis] is a classic example of a situation where you need plenty of time. Getting in close with a macro lens was pretty straightforward, but locating a suitable plant, finding the right angle with the sun and blurring out the stamen with a wide aperture was time consuming. After achieving some pleasing results it was then a case of finding a flower that was occupied. Most were, but by tiny springtails that you could hardly see, so it was a case of looking for something a bit bigger like an ant. The problem though was that the ant spent most of the time with its head buried inside gathering nectar. As a point of interest, the trumpets on these plants are probably around 60mm or 70mm deep so to achieve full magnification my lens had to be very close to the front of the flower, which is why the angle was so critical to avoid shadow. Next time I may try experimenting with a flash or possibly even trying to backlight, but in the meantime this image provides a reminder of what I managed to achieve on this trip.
Leaf, snow rocks. Created 4 layers, each layer was a different color. Flipped the 4 layers around so each layer was in a different position. Combined the four together and this is the result. Very easy to do. Try it on shots that don't turn out 100%. You'll be pleased with the results.
A spectral Christmas Eve walk at Ivinghoe Beacon.
Despite knowing this walk so well, there were a couple of moments when I lost my bearings in this blanket of fog.
A lot of the farmers around here introduced 3 metre conservation strips around their fields a number of years ago. The idea is to encourage the return of the many endangered species of farmland birds that declined following the introduction of intensive farming techniques. Certainly it seems to have worked with good populations of Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Yellowhammers and Corn Buntings at this location. Not that I saw any in this pea souper!

She Remembers – Max Richter
www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0YkZFxOFeI
.

Lontano da tutti,...lontano dal mondo
.
quando a casa fai ritorno
vorresti che lei
fosse li, ancora,
ad aspettarti,
si adagiasse vicino a te
al tuo fianco
per diventare la tua anima,
la tua immancabile ombra.
L’unica… che
hai da sempre amato
da quando la conoscesti.
Era la “ragazza” della porta accanto
l’hai notata e mai più l'hai scordata.
Bellissima e di un profumo
mai sentito,
d’un fiore non visto
dal colore candido
e delicato di cui
solo l’amore sa immaginare.
Saremmo stati solo noi
felici e nessun altro.
Lontano da tutti,
...lontano dal mondo.
Tu sai che sei la mia vita
da quel giorno che
ti ho rivista,
e con un unico bacio
ti ho riconquistata.
Ma adesso
la mia “ragazza”
mi ha abbandonato,
lo so, ho trascurato
quel grande amore , e tu,
adesso, appartieni ad un altro.
…vorrei solo morire
e in questo momento sparire
per sempre da questa terra
per non essere più visto
ne più ascoltato
e mai più da nessuna donna
…..amato.
………………..…Luigi Mirto
.
.
Far from everyone,...far from the world
.
when you return home
you would like her
were there, still,
waiting for you,
she would lie down next to you
by your side
to become your soul,
your ever-present shadow.
The only one... that
you have always loved
since you met her.
She was the “girl” next door
you noticed it and never forgot it again.
Beautiful and fragrant
never heard,
of an unseen flower
with a white colour
and delicate of which
only love can imagine.
It would have just been us
happy and no one else.
Far from everyone,
...far from the world.
You know that you are my life
since that day
I saw you again,
and with a single kiss
I won you back.
But now
my girlfriend"
he abandoned me,
I know, I overlooked it
that great love, and you,
now, you belong to someone else.
…I would just like to die
and at this moment disappear
forever from this earth
never to be seen again
nor listened to anymore
and never again by any woman
…..beloved.
………………..…Luigi Mirto
