flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Moeglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!
English:
if your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off. In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flagged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for germans ...Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
Español:
Si tu ID de yahoo esta situada en Singapur, Alemania, Hong Kong or Korea solo se te permitirá ver contenido catalogado como seguro en las condiciones locales de servicio (Terms of Service). Por lo que no podrás cambiar el SaveSearch. Esto quiere decir que la gente de esos paises solo podrán ver fotos que esten marcadas como seguras... ¡¡¡solo flores y paisajes!!!. Copia y sube esta imagen a tu cuenta.
¡Muestra el poder de la gente a Flickr!

I was not very pleased with how most of my Rodin museum pictures come out, so you’ll have to wait for Traci’s which were much better!

Note:
Roney is one among 15.000 lost children still roaming the streets of São Paulo.
It is in deepest regret and sadness that I inform you of Roney's cold-blooded murder on the early morning hours of January 15th. May he find peace wherever his journey has taken him.......
IMPORTANT NOTE:
On June 27th. we also lost our beloved Claudiney.
Think that the phone was more important that the smoke looking at the ash on the end of the cigarette

I don't think I've been tagged but I wanted to do this, so I'm tagging anyone who wants to do it, too! <3
1. I'd really like to shell Luc's sister, Leighsal. I thought I was more or less done buying dolls, but girls seem to be creeping up on my want list. Feeple60 Rin on a Moe body is exactly what I want for her though. I also want a Moe body for patterns, so that works.
2. Angora Mohair wigs. I've been intending to upgrade Whisp with new hair for awhile, and if I get Leighsal she'll need something too. if all goes well I might consider doing something for Yue, too.
3. I have a ton of designs and plans in order for Steampetal, I just hope I can get everything done!
4. Take more photos... I've been slacking the last couple of years and I really miss when I took more photos.
Is that a rain coat?
Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
(american psycho).....
an out take from a shoot today with jay and stylesomega. well, i couldnt resist! hehe!
loads more pics to come! this was a seriously funny shoot.... there was lots of luuurrverly red syrup involved, and we all have red stained hands......now how the hell am i gonna explain that one at work tomorrow?????
I think Flickr needs a bigger description box on the upload page. Still figuring it how the website works lol.
Didn't spend the day doing much except dim sum in the afternoon with my parents and grandpa. Hope grandma's doing well. Haven't seen her in awhile, but it's always awkward seeing her. I never know what to do or say, but it's not like she'll remember. It scares me sometimes knowing that when she passes away, I may not cry or mourn. Can't really remember a time when she didn't have Alzheimer's. But I remember a time when we were on the way from leaving dim sum at Woodside and in the car, she'd ask me again and again about the book I'm reading. Or that time she flipped out at my grandpa when I said their nursing home felt like a hospital. I got a mini lecture on that by my cousin. Idk. I'll just take it as it is when the time comes.
Streamed a bit of the SoCal? Crossfit Regionals and it really makes me miss it. After a WOD it always makes me so capable. I mean you feel nice after going to the gym but this is like ecstasy compared to marijuana.. not like I would know. But a harder drug vs a softer drug naw mean. Starting my nutrition draft essay and hopefully it turns out well. Don't really have high hopes for it.
Think this was the Challenger depot that became part of the Blazefield business when they bought the firm. Throughout the mid 1990s, this depot was maintained as the old Starbeck depot was too small. It continued as a Transdev outbase for schools work but looks like it has finally been disposed of.
I think that this is a tiny orbweaver of some sort because of the beautiful, but tiny web that it made in the azalea branches. This spiders actual size is about the size of a pen head and it's web about 4 inches by 4 inches, pretty amazing if you ask me, but I am a nerd, that goes without saying LOL :)
Minimalist I know. I think of an egg with a black "white".
This was a shot through welding glass held to the front of my 70-200mm lens. The full-frame sensor shows its disadvantage! No matter. I witnessed the transit though clouds hid the sun periodically so I'm happy I was able to get this much.
See you in over 100 years, Venus!
Sorry for posting SO many photos today! I think it's the only way I will ever get through all the images from this Texas trip.
On Day 6 of our birding holiday in South Texas, 24 March 2019, we left our hotel in Kingsville, South Texas, and started our drive to Mission, where we would be staying at La Quinta Inn & Suites for three nights. On the first stretch of our drive, we were lucky enough to see several bird species, including a Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Hooded Oriole, Red-tailed Hawk, Crested Caracara, Harris's Hawk, Pyrrhuloxia male (looks similar to a Cardinal) and a spectacular Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. I'm not sure if this stretch is called Hawk Alley.
We had a long drive further south towards Mission, with only a couple of drive-by photos taken en route (of a strangely shaped building that turned out to be a deserted seed storage building). Eventually, we reached our next planned stop, the National Butterfly Centre. This was a great place, my favourite part of it being the bird feeding station, where we saw all sorts of species and reasonably close. Despite the name of the place, we only saw a few butterflies while we were there. May have been the weather or, more likely, the fact that I was having so much fun at the bird feeding station. We also got to see Spike, a giant African Spurred Tortoise. All the nature/wildlife parks that we visited in South Texas had beautiful visitor centres and usually bird feeding stations. And there are so many of these parks - so impressive!
nationalbutterflycenter.org/nbc-multi-media/in-the-news/1...
"Ten years ago, the North American Butterfly Association broke ground for what has now become the largest native plant botanical garden in the United States. This 100-acre preserve is home to Spike (who thinks he is a butterfly) and the greatest volume and variety of wild, free-flying butterflies in the nation. In fact, USA Today calls the National Butterfly Center, in Mission, Texas, 'the butterfly capitol of the USA'." From the Butterfly Centre's website.
The Centre is facing huge challenges, as a result of the "Border Wall". The following information is from the Centre's website.
www.nationalbutterflycenter.org/about-nbc/maps-directions...
"No permission was requested to enter the property or begin cutting down trees. The center was not notified of any roadwork, nor given the opportunity to review, negotiate or deny the workplan. Same goes for the core sampling of soils on the property, and the surveying and staking of a “clear zone” that will bulldoze 200,000 square feet of habitat for protected species like the Texas Tortoise and Texas Indigo, not to mention about 400 species of birds. The federal government had decided it will do as it pleases with our property, swiftly and secretly, in spite of our property rights and right to due process under the law."
"What the Border Wall will do here:
1) Eradicate an enormous amount of native habitat, including host plants for butterflies, breeding and feeding areas for wildlife, and lands set aside for conservation of endangered and threatened species-- including avian species that migrate N/S through this area or over-winter, here, in the tip of the Central US Flyway.
2) Create devastating flooding to all property up to 2 miles behind the wall, on the banks of the mighty Rio Grande River, here.
3) Reduce viable range land for wildlife foraging and mating. This will result in greater competition for resources and a smaller gene pool for healthy species reproduction. Genetic "bottlenecks" can exacerbate blight and disease.
IN ADDITION:
4) Not all birds can fly over the wall, nor will all butterfly species. For example, the Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, found on the southern border from Texas to Arizona, only flies about 6 ft in the air. It cannot overcome a 30 ft vertical wall of concrete and steel.
5) Nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife, which rely on sunset and sunrise cues to regulate vital activity, will be negatively affected by night time flood lighting of the "control zone" the DHS CBP will establish along the wall and new secondary drag roads. The expansion of these areas to vehicular traffic will increase wildlife roadkill.
6) Animals trapped north of the wall will face similar competition for resources, cut off from native habitat in the conservation corridor and from water in the Rio Grande River and adjacent resacas. HUMANS, here, will also be cut off from our only source of fresh water, in this irrigated desert.
...i think for the first time trying something like this, it's not a bad result!

Although I would like to think that I have become a better photographer over time, I am confident that I have become better at processing my digital pictures. Part of this is thanks to new and more sophisticated software, and part of this is refined technique and practice.
As opposed to the Old Days of slides, negatives and prints, modern digital files don’t “go bad” just sitting around, and they are (or should be) easy to locate and easy to re-process. One of my New Year’s jobs is to do some file management, insure that my backups are up-to-date and start a new storage “catalog” for the new calendar year. In preparation for this year’s turn-over, I am going back through some old digital photo catalogs and reprocessing some interesting ones.
This is something that I took in 2004, about a month after I bought my first digital SLR; a Canon 10D with a consumer-grade 28-135mm zoom lens. The company that I worked for at the time was French, and we “had” to take business trips to France from time-to-time. Of course, we always took an extra few days off after the meetings to wander around Paris (or wherever).
This is a portion of the Notre Dame cathedral. I got this surrealistic effect by converting the original image to B&W in NIK Silver Efex Pro-2, and then I brought both the B&W version and the original color version into Photoshop as layers and blended them together. Something similar could probably be achieved with a polarizing filter, but I didn’t have one at the time.

I think these snails are Discus rotundatus - the driveway was littered with them after a flower bed overflowed in the recent rain. They're approximately 5mm across.

I think this is the first time that I have ever posted a photo of shoes on Flickr. However, when I saw these shoes while photographing a track meet, I couldn't resist. The young man who owned the shoes had put on his track shoes and was getting ready for the race. They just looked like a perfect subject at the time.
I'm going to be shooting a lot of hoops very shortly - not actually playing myself, but photographing it! :)
