Went backpacking over the weekend. A nice hike in, I forgot how painful it is and how young I use to be. Great trip with a great group of friends. This is the view from our campsite. Amazing to wake up to.
I do recommend a larger view. ;)
This Disston no 12 was found in a set of three high quality saws. One has been sold and so will this one.
The Disston no 12 is one of the finest ahnd saws I have ever had the pealsure of using. The tapered saw plate, highly tensioned, very hard saw plate combined with a beautiful and decorative handle and nib is a sheer joy to use.
This example was the most used of the three saws I purchased. It is understandable for several good reasons. At 7 PPI crosscut this is a very nice saw for the joiner or general woodworker. The teeth were not very well formed when I got it, but after some extensive jointing, reshaping and sharpening I have restored the tooth line to a slightly breasted condition with moderately sloped gullets. The saw plate shows obvious signs of corrosion and poor care, but even though there are speckles of light pitting, the saw plate is still very well tensioned and the performance hasn't been affected.
The saw has lost maybe slightly more than an inch
The top horn was my first reapir job. I will have to improve my skills as it became a tad too high, but the work itself was great fun and the repaitr has lasted for a year now, so at least to that extent it seems to have paid off. The lower curve of the handle was also broken off and the broken edges had been worn against each other so much that gluing wasn't an option, so here I made the decision to repair the damage with two long and hard nails.
I had taken a short break in the shade near the Japan pavilion in the World Showcase of EPCOT Center and saw this view of the towers of three different continents. It's not the best shot but I thought it was unique and wonder if there is another way to compose and capture something similar.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

went to bradford beach after the BBQ party to shoot some beach photos. I love the E-PL1..the poor man's leica..even though I am using a Leica lens hehe
My Mum used to get a piece of salt beef every Christmas, and once got it back home, boil it for three hours.
Never appealed to me then.
But later on I got a taste for it, now Christmas is Christmas without some salt beef.
So, here is ours bubbling away, once it had simmered for three hours, allow to cool a bit then cut when still warm to make home made Rueben sandwiches.
Yummy to the extreme.
And then with several pints of stock to make lots of gravy with too.
Three of the Pennine Peaks can be seen here. From left to right (or is it south to north?) - Ingleborough (723m), Pen-y-Ghent (694m) and Whernside (736m) depicted here from the decending path of the "Pennine Way" on the western side of Fountains Fell in North Yorkshire. 16 January, 2012.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge - Safety Checkpoint #2: Ings - This checkpoint provides a first aid and retirement point for teams just having completed Pen-Y-Ghent, and crossed the moss.
it is my favourite composition ..... with nice graduation of colors in the sky ...
there are many seagulls following our ferry ship to tallinn that morning ....
in a distance, above blue sea water is outskirt of helsinki .....
The curved line painted on the road and the upward bend of the crash rail make this LOOK like barrel distortion but it's just the odd features of the roadway.
Happy Monday, everyone! It's 3 a.m., the cat woke me up, "coldest temps of winter" on the way, and yes, its Monday! What's not to like? Seriously, I hope you ALL have a SAFE, WARM and WONDERFUL day!
I made this image at the downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana Hilton Hotel on Sunday, I call it "Table for Three."
Quote for the day-
"Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation."

Now, BACK TO BED!
"The Three Soldiers" statue near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. Was marred only by the presence of stinkbugs.
Taken on October 8, 2010 with a Canon Rebel XSI and the incredibly sharp Zeiss Makro-Planar ZE 100mm lens. The anamorphic was a Kowa 16-S.
I spent yesterday morning in the field with Jim Fowler photographing a population of the three-birds orchid (Triphora trianthophora). This tiny species exhiibits synchronized flowering that is triggered by two consecutive days of decreasing night temperatures. The flowers are open for one day, then begin to senesce. Jim is the author of "Wild Orchids of South Carolina" and used his knowledge of the natural history of this species to predict the exact flowering day for a population near Brevard, NC. When we arrived there were 30 or more plants in bloom. The green crest on the lip appears to serve as a nectar guide. Note the two pollinia that are located above the crest.

This time I put three balloons in a row and shot them with my air rifle. Strangely the centre balloon, although pierced, did not explode but as you can see the outer two did.
I think the jets of water to the left and right are from the initial holes created by the pellet as it passed through the balloons.
Anime Midwest is a three-day weekend of fun, events, games, cosplay, panels and more. Anime Midwest is an annual three-day anime convention held the first weekend in July at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
I'm the official photographer for the con, and an avid anime and cosplay fan. I've taken over 100,000 cosplay photos (25,000 are on Flickr!), hosted hundreds of cosplay meetups, watched over 500 anime series and built numerous props.
mike and i went to see bishop allen at the bowery ballroom last night. we got there early and managed to nab the frontmost table in the balcony. and after waiting through the two opening bands, christian rudder, justin rice and darby nowatka -- the three primary members of BA -- came out onstage and blew everyone away. they had so much energy, and absolutely loved what they were doing... which made for a fabulous show. and i got my money's worth when they sang my favorite tune of theirs, "the monitor." it was a long, long night, but very much worth it in the end.
it's stunning to know i've survived
but i'm not sure what i'm fighting for anymore
and when i break another string
and continue to sing
is that courage? i'm not sure.
when the ironclads drifted apart
still blue and still gray
the men shoveled in the coal
and worked the pumps in the hull
just like every other day
and none of them knew
oh, none of them cared
how much it just changed right then and right there
they just carried on, carried on, carried on...
and we're singing
la da da da da da
Hotshot train 101 is seen on the opposite shore of Three Valley Lake as it heads for a meet with 198.
a lesson in persistence. i've been trying to shoot these for some time now--to the point of obsession. (red boxes on the wall. how can i resist!) unfortunately, they're in a really bad spot light and space-wise, so finding lens a lens combination that would work was difficult. the 18-55mm and 10-22mm (and the elph) didn't have enough aperture (shooting without a tripod) and the 50mm wasn't wide enough. the 35mm/f2 is what finally did the trick. hmm....maybe i can do even better at some point.
