I have still so many images to process from my visit to Germany, but I haven't found the time that needs to be dedicated by now. Here are three versions of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, this time in black and white and with a gradation that makes the shots not very pleasing to look at which I am aware of.
Here is history of my digital cameras. The first ever was the tiny FujiFilm purchased in 2003 just out of curiosity because back then I was shooting film. This Fuji is literally "point-and-shoot" camera lacking any adjustments or shooting modes. In 2005 I got the Panasonic as I switched to digital photography completely. That camera was okay, great colours, decent sharpness and zoom. The only thing that was bothering me a lot was the shutter lag, which I could never adjust myself to. Two years later, in 2007 I finaly got my first DSLR Pentax K10D. Amazing camera which I still use even now in conjunction with my current Nikon D5500. Needless to say that all cameras are in great working condition.
Three frames taken during the FPP London 2012 meetup using the Pentax Auto 110 camera that I previously used in week 46 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
The first 2 years of the project are covered in this book:

These red fox pups were an extremely active bunch for several days in the vicinity of their prairie den. And I had the good fortune of several opportunities for catching them in groups of 2 or 3 at a time. Usually I had the most success with them on late spring afternoons.

I've now completed the three way shootout series (four parts) between the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II, EF 16-35mm f/4L IS, and Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD. I've learned a lot about each of these lenses, and feel confident sharing my conclusions now after extensive testing. You can check out the conclusion of this comparison series and my buying recommendation here:

Three of the phenomenon known as blue jets, they look like giant butane lighter flames shooting out of the top of clouds. I can't actually find any other examples of anyone capturing a jet with an SLR. Am I the first?
Despite the heavy motion blur (the pilot picked this particular second to hit a bump), I think this is the pick of the night. It's just too pretty.

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their
hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure
chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be
decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I
will take Kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the
world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest
and straightest Tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and
look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and h ow close to them I
am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always
remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true,
a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he
said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood
to a carpenter, "and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he
knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree the woodsman said, "This looks like a strong
tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy
Because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was
frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come
true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree,
I'll take this one," and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into
a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This
was not at all what he had prayed for.
The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His
dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.
The third tree was cut into large pieces, and left alone in the
dark.
The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth
and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first
tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this
manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event
and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from
the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sl eep. While they were out on
the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to
keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and He stood and said "Peace"
and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King
of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried
through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they
came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at
the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong
enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible,
because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be
going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust
in Him, God will give you great gifts.
Location of the massacre of Indians in India by the occupying colonialist British Government. Winston Churchill reported nearly 400 slaughtered, and three or four times the number wounded to the Westminster Parliament, on 8 July 1920. Some estimates put the number of Indian civilians killed on that day by the British police at more than 1500.
Above, a structure with bullet marks, preserved from that massacre.
Winston Churchill, in the House of Commons debate of 8 July 1920, said "The crowd was unarmed, except with bludgeons. It was not attacking anybody or anything ... When fire had been opened upon it to disperse it, it tried to run away. Pinned up in a narrow place considerably smaller than Trafalgar Square, with hardly any exits, and packed together so that one bullet would drive through three or four bodies, the people ran madly this way and the other. When the fire was directed upon the centre, they ran to the sides. The fire was then directed to the sides. Many threw themselves down on the ground, the fire was then directed down on the ground. This was continued to 8 to 10 minutes, and it stopped only when the ammunition had reached the point of exhaustion." (From Wikipedia)

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: Can you tell we love duplicates? This is a serious case of the duplication-sickness--I already had at least two (perhaps three) of these dolls when I bought the doll on the far left on eBay! I named these dolls (left to right) Martha, Adrian, Maggie, Joanna, Jordan, and Janette. All except Jordan and Janette are my childhood dolls. Maggie and Joanna were either separately purchased dupes that I couldn't resist buying or bin dolls circa 2003 or 2004. Adrian, however, is very special to me. Adrian (second from left) is actually special because of Sonya (Wet 'n Wild). When Shelly and I bought our blue Barbie table that we used ALL the time, along with Jenny (Pretty Surprise Barbie), I saw a cute little doll sitting on one of the chairs we ended up buying. That doll was Sonya. I regretted not buying her forever (which I explain on the Wet 'N Wild photo). When I finally found the seller again, ages later, she had not one blonde Skipper but two! Adrian was the other doll. Confirmation that I'm not insane and that I really had indeed found the Skipper I pined for? When we bought Jenny, she was wearing a Babysitter Skipper outfit--I'm guessing it came on Adrian! Because I got them together, I played with them together. Adrian was Sonya's very shy, adopted sister and best friend. Sonya was a caring sister who always stuck up for her and included her in everything. While I can't remember for sure anymore, I'm pretty sure that Joanna (fourth from left) is my second doll and also that I had both her AND Maggie (third from left), in addition to Adrian, when Dad bought Martha for me off eBay!
The doll on the far left is the one Dad bought me for Christmas off eBay in 2003. I thought Martha would be a sweet name for her. I'm thinking we mostly bought her for her accessories (Shelly LOVES baby dolls) but I really love her. Shelly did an excellent job of cleaning these dolls up since we got back into collecting. For a while, it was REALLY hard to tell Martha, Maggie, and Adrian apart. Joanna has always been distinctive as I've kept her hair pony-tailed forever, so it has that shape even when it's been down. The extensive bathing erased Martha's distinctive boxed odor and made Maggie look nearly as nice. For a while after the bath, I also couldn't tell Adrian and Maggie apart. I know Adrian so well that I eventually learned to tell her apart with ease again, once the shock of her hair being so sleek wore off! One day I had the girls out and I suddenly realized that I still really knew my Adrian's face! What gives Martha away is her bangs--hers are still in bang form, not mullet form. Adrian's bangs aren't quite as nice as Maggie's. But still, if I didn't know her SO well, I don't know if I could tell them apart! There is something about my beloved Adrian's face, the way her right eye stares off to the side (she must have a lazy eye like me), that was easy for me to know once Shelly's dolly-hair-magic ceased to cloud my sight.
Unlike the other dolls, Jordan and Janette are much more recent purchases--my only Babysitters so far that joined my collection in my adult years, after 2005. We got Jordan in the Teresa lot, which, had it not had SO many Teresas, could well have been named the Skipper lot! I don't think I've found so many Skippers in one place (besides my own home obviously) in over a decade. Jordan is a real cutie! Shelly picked her name and I really like it. It really suits her. Because of how Shelly styled Jordan's bangs--not a mullet like Adrian and Maggie nor curly like Martha's--I'd know her apart even if she hadn't given her a small ponytail. I truly love what Shelly did with her hair! Jordan was very lucky--I've had the outfit she's wearing for an eternity! It was waiting in a baggie for her for many years! Janette, who is from the "Clueless Lot" of 2017, came here fully clothed and only needed minor bathing. That being said, Janette was DEFINITELY the most...worthy of makeover pictures, in that bin. She was one of the oldest dolls in there. What is interesting is that I got a Totally Yo Yo Skipper AND another Babysitter in BOTH the "Teresa Lot" and the "Clueless Lot!" What a coincidence! Like Jordan, Janette was named by my sister, and given a cute hair style by my sister!

These are three of the modular buildings that I've designed in MLCad that I'm reasonably satisfied with. The dark red and blue buildings will undergo some aesthetic tweaks to their interiors and back-sides when converted to real bricks.

Three Shires Head is the point on Axe Edge Moor where the English counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet. It is on the River Dane, which marks the Cheshire border in this area. On the east of the river, the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire runs north-east for about a mile to Cheeks Hill, on the higher regions of Axe Edge Moor. From Cheeks Hill the border runs south then east to the head of the River Dove.
The presence of the packhorse bridge shows the importance of this route for traders from nearby Flash and Hollinsclough to Macclesfield. Silk was produced at Hollinsclough, and sent to the mills at Macclesfield.Coal was mined from about 1600 on Axe Edge
