Not sure how a catfish head ended up in the water. Perhaps an Osprey dropped it. The Tern picked it and carried it for about 50 yards before deciding the head was too big to swallow, and dropped it.

There is a whole variety of believers. Whosoever comes to these desolate mountains couldn't be exactly ambitious, at least not over worldly matters, and one can be sure life is hard here.

PS
Sanyu was nicknamed the Modigliani/ Matisse of the East. He came from a wealthy family having been taught Chinese poetry and ink painting by one of the Emporer's scholarly advisors in his youth. He studied arts in Japan for a couple of years before turning to Paris in his early 20's. Instead of attending any of the academies there, he chose to hang around saloons. He extended many of the aesthetic formalities of both of the East and the West, since he painted only from his heart and soul. He blended the styles from both the West and the East very uniquely, in subjects, materials or treatments. Other than expressionist exaggerations , he is also a great master of minimalism, keen to capture the very essence of the substances with a few symbolic strokes. His paintings are well received both in the East and the West. For a long time, his paintings are fetching a very high price. He is the only Chinese painter who had essentially integrated into or even pioneered Western painting albeit with things which could be traced back to his background. In his later years, having squandered all his money away, he became extremely poor...

“Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”

We were overly ambitious in planting a huge garden this year, especially with near perfect summer weather, so rather than weed the melon patch we planted buckwheat to keep the weeds down. . . not knowing every deer for miles around would be drawn for the seeds. . .they also cropped Lynn's fall greens and beets. . .

With everything she does she melts your heart.
She is sweet and secretive,
and the next moment luring and wanton,
then she is funny, playful, spontaneous
and from one breath to another she gets sad
and concerned, or exhausted and worried.
Sometimes she sighs and moans at once,
smirks, jumps, and then she squirms,
pulls and pushes your buttons.
With her you never know what happens next.
She is unpredictable, moody, ambitious and curious, adventurous, lascivious, innocuous, adorable aggressive and sullen silent from here and there.
And every day a new shade of her personality unfolds in front of your
loving eyes and with every day more you fear even an infinitude of time would be too short to see everything from her, every idea, desire, every thought and mood, and you wish the day would have many more hours, and every year many more days to be able to love her to the fullest extent possible, for every part of her deserves at least to be fully loved once all alone.

ambitious: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

** From Fountains Abbey it is only a short walk along the river to the Studley Royal water gardens . The gardens were designed by John Aislabie in the early seventeenth century, they are a fine example of a Georgian water gardens
The Temple of Piety seen in the centre of the image is one of the many neo-classical buildings in Studley Royal.
a bit more background
In the early 18th-century John Aislabie had great plans to impress visitors to his Yorkshire estate and so turned the wild and wooded valley of the river Skell into one of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens.
John Aislabie inherited the Studley Royal estate in 1693. He was a socially and politically ambitious man and became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1718. Disaster struck his career in 1720 due to his part in the South Sea Bubble financial scandal and he was expelled from Parliament. It was then that John returned to Yorkshire and devoted himself to creating this ground-breaking garden. Inspired by the work of the great French landscape gardeners, the two gifted amateurs created the Water Garden with its formal, geometric design and extraordinary vistas; including the much photographed Temple of Piety.You can also find classical statues, follies and garden buildings carefully positioned within the landscape to discover and enjoy.
Amazingly the garden you see today is little changed from the one that would have impressed Aislabie’s visitors 200 years ago.

Osprey ~ (Pandion haliaetus)
Buy-One-Get-One-Free! An ambitious (and lucky) Osprey comes up with two fish after a dive. I believe these are freshwater Mullet, but please feel free to correct me! When the Osprey first came up, I was not sure what I was looking at. It was one of those 'back of the camera' surprises.
Thanks for visiting!
Way back in Indonesia's history, places like this had a spiritual - and practical - significance for Java's would-be rulers. Many ambitious young princes and noblemen would come in search of 'kasekten' - a sacred energy that could win them ascendency to positions of power, realised through meditation in holy or historic places. Known as "tapa", this mystic asceticism involved meditating in the icy water of mountain streams, hanging upside-down from the branches of banyan trees, or going wild in the jungles of Java for weeks at a time. Senopati - the famous founder of Java's Mataram kingdom - was thought to have earned his prestige through pilgrimage to places such as this, in the misty outer reaches of Surakarta.
That tree that everyone takes a photo of... lots of people about, so I had to bide my time.. decide the youngster in shot helped for scale.

I traveled Canada extensively in the early 1990s before the shortline movement from the US spilled over to north of the border. So in the later years of the decade it was fun to go back and shoot some of the former CN and CP lines with new operators
In 1997 shortline holding company OmniTrax made a splash into Canada by operating some former CN track in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These were fairly large operations that included the over 600 mile long line to Hudson Bay, and a 100 mile line from near Saskatoon to Prince Albert. Making things interesting was the fact they acquired 20 CN MLW M420Ws and the six BRC C-424s. In addition a former INCO RS11 and three BCR M420 B-units along with some interesting EMD Geeps. They also announced some nice paint schemes along with logos based on local interests.
But like most things OmniTRAX this was too ambitious. Not much happened in the way of paint. And most of the ALCos and MLWs quickly fell into disrepair.
I did manage one chase on the Carlton Trail of their daily Prince Albert to Saskatoon freight on the Warman Sub. Here a former CN M420W leads a BC Rail M420B and an ex-Southern Pacific GP9.
The impressive three-storeyed Ynysypandy slate-slab mill, and its surrounding yard, rail-access and water-supply system, was built to serve Gorsedda quarry in 1856-7 by the local contractor Evan Jones of Garndolbenmaen, probably to the design of the distinguished engineer James Brunlees. It is ingeniously planned so that the natural fall of the site assisted the manufacturing process. An internal pit accommodated an overshot water wheel, supplied by the Henwy stream, and on the south side a long curving ramp brought branches of the railway from Gorsedda quarry into the mill at two different levels, serving the middle and upper floors. The grand, round-headed openings are closely spaced like a Roman aqueduct, and derive from foundry practice. The eastern gable is surmounted by a decorative feature incorporating a false chimney stack, and the windows were at one time framed. It is one of very few architecturally ambitious buildings in the slate industry of Wales.
The mill specialised in the production of slate slabs for floors, dairies, troughs, urinals, etc. In its heyday, in 1860, it was producing over 2,000 tons per annum, but seven years later production was down to 25 tons per annum (due to the poor quality of the quarried slate) and the business went into liquidation in 1871.
The building provided a venue for eisteddfodau until the roof was removed around 1906. It was conserved by the Snowdonia National Park in 1981 and is accessible to visitors.

A bit ambitious for me, shooting into the sun, but I wanted a shot of the ridge that runs up to High Street.
This little lochan is hidden from the Diabaig road but offers great views across a beautiful 'lumpy-bumpy' terrain to the snow capped peaks south of Upper Loch Torridon.
This was an ambitious 20 second exposure head on into a howling wind.

"Night Heron's Ambitious Attempt: Too Big to Catch
I captured the entire sequence of the Black-crowned heron landing on the back of a large fish, sliding off, then taking a bath while the big fish kept splashing. Some day I'll stitch it together.
Night Heron
There once was a night heron named Seigel,
Who tried to fish like an eagle.
He grabbed fish with his feet,
But they were too weak,
No talons—so the fish simply giggled!
A tree with some nice structure by some steps in Highfields Park. Steps have been closed off for about the last decade at least. This felt over-ambitious at the time given the light and the film, but the lens is pretty fast so I thought I'd give it a try. I guess f/1.5 and 1/50 sec exposure.

1937 Packard, Custom coachbuilt by Rollston
Rollston Company
Harry Lonschein (1886-1977), an ambitious 16-year-old Romanian immigrant, found employment at Brewster & Co, one of the country’s oldest carriage makers in 1903. At that time Brewster was making the transition from one of the country’s oldest carriage makers to one of its first automobile body builders. In addition to building their own Knight sleeve-valve-engined car starting in 1915, Brewster was the NY agent for Delaunay-Belleville and later Rolls-Royce. During his employment there, Lonschein gained a lot of experience building high class enclosed bodies on the world’s finest chassis. At about the same time that Rolls-Royce opened their Springfield, Massachusetts assembly plant in 1921, Harry, along with a couple of partners, Sam Blotkin and Julius Veghso (1874-1964) formed the Rollston Company and moved into a building located on West 47th Street. They paid homage to their favorite chassis by naming the firm after it, and set out make the highest quality bodies possible. Veghso, a graduate of Andrew F. Johnson’s carriage drafting course, and a very experienced coachbuilder had founded the Perfect Body Co., an early coachbuilder who built bodies for Singer and other luxury chassis. Lonschein served as president, Blotkin, its secretary-treasurer, and Veghso the firm’s designer, draftsman and general superintendent of the factory.
Rollston’s bodies were acknowledged as the strongest of the classic-era and like the work of their favorite chassis, were over-engineered in the finest carriage-building tradition, using only the finest materials and castings. Their fine work attracted the attention of Grover C. Parvis, the Custom Body Manager of Packard's New York dealership.
Packard would become their best customer, and over the next 20 years, the vast majority of the 700 bodies built by the firm would appear on Packard chassis.

Sealy Tarns (Sealy Tarns Track)
Mount Cook National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Southern Alps
South Island, New Zealand
Continuing on my series of famous mountains in New Zealand. Aoraki/ Mount Cook stands at 3724m, it is the tallest mountain in New Zealand. As one drives into Mount Cook national park, one would definitely be awe struck by its grandeur. It leaves an indelible impression those who visits. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first Mountaineer to summit Mount Everest, spent much of his time training on this Mountain.
Sadly I am not a mountaineer, so I decided to settle on the numerous tracks that branch off from the White Horse Hill car park/ campground. The more famous ones include the Hooker valley track and Kea Point. Seeing that there was still 6 hours of daylight, I decided to be ambitious and try something less touristy. I have seen numerous photographs from Sealy Tarns and none of them ceases to amaze me. I knew I had to see it with my own eyes.
The signs warned hikers of the steep terrain and it sure didn't disappoint. 2200 steps greeted me as I zig zagged my way up to Mueller Ridge, aptly named the "Stairways to Heaven". This might possibly be due to its grueling ascent filled with spectacular views. I have often heard people saying hiking alone gives them time to contemplate life. Maybe that is true. But more often than not I find myself thinking positive thoughts to serve as distractions from all the soreness in my legs and the shortness of my breath. I stopped plenty of times to take in the views and count my blessings.
Sealy Tarn finally appeared into view. It was a relatively small body of water but provides crisps reflection of the surrounding mountains on a calm day. The weathered picnic table in the image is at the end of the track. At this point, I sincerely wished that there was a special someone to share a meal with me at unworldly location on such a beautiful day.
Returning to reality, I left my bag on the table and wandered around trying to find interesting vantage points. Ten minutes later, I heard people whistling and calling out to see if anyone was around. It was a group of German hikers who were concerned that I might have fallen off the ridge or got into some danger, after spotting my unattended backpack. Such kind and friendly gentlemen.

The Italian planners had in mind the ambitious example of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which had resettled thousands of Appalachian families. An American sociologist, Friedrich Friedmann, led a team of researchers—including a historian, a doctor, a geographer, and a psychologist—who assessed conditions in the Sassi. After architects devised several potential resettlement schemes, Friedmann’s team asked the peasants which design they thought was best.
In the new rural development of La Martella, four miles west of the Sassi, the architect Ludovico Quaroni attempted to re-create the open-air vicinati that the Materans had used as their plazas and drawing rooms. Each resettled family was given a house with an adjoining barn for animals; the bedroom windows looked out on the stables, so that residents could keep an eye on the beasts at night, as they had in the Sassi. The first families were moved to La Martella in 1954. The Giornale del Mezzogiorno declared that Materans had travelled “from the darkness of the Sassi to cottages in the green countryside!” Italian newspapers continued to support the cause, and the government began encouraging residents whose caves had originally been thought salvageable to move.
There are quite a few ways to describe yesterday; adventurous and ambitious are two but ultimately 'long' pretty much sums it up. I wanted to have a look at the Ardnamurchan Peninsulsa but decided to tag Glencoe on to the front. Perhaps fortunately, the light at Glencoe wasn't great and though I took in a couple of favourite locations I was able to leave for Ardnamurchan at a reasonable time via the Corran ferry. I had driven part of the Peninsula road before but had no recollection of just how slow progress would be along the single track. I headed straight for the lighthouse, the Uk's most westerly (mainland) point and having taken the duty photograph there set about to find a suitable location for the sunset. I decided on Portuairk, the westernmost settlement on the British Mainland. This particular image was taken just prior to sunset and barely does justice to the stunning colour palette on land, sea and sky. On the horizon is the island of Rum and other islands from the Small Isles, part of the Inner Hebrides. The journey home was particularly arduous and with the ferry no longer running, a rather lengthy 'detour' along Loch Eil meant I made it home at 0340.
This serene lake has a story to tell. I’ve been here before, but my last visit was a race against time—just an hour between moonset and sunrise to capture a quick panorama.
This time, I aimed for something more ambitious: a larger panorama showcasing the lake's beauty. Unfortunately, the session was cut short by some unexpected late-night chaos (think burning rubber, booze, and dodgy behavior). Not exactly the vibes you'd hope for in a quiet spot like this. 😅
The Drakesbrook Weir plays a vital role in the area, collecting overflow from Waroona Dam for farmers to use for livestock and crops. By day, it’s a popular picnic and swimming spot, but at night, it’s usually still and empty—well, most of the time.
This 12-panel panorama (crafted from 36 images, 24 of them stacked) captures the lake’s reflections as the summer Milky Way rises above. High clouds and city light pollution softened the northern sky, but the magic of the view still shines through. ✨
Gear: Nikon D5500 (modded) - 35mm f/1.8 - Star Adventurer 2i Pro - Hoya UV/IR cut - Optolong H-alpha 7nm
Sky: 8 single RGB x 30s, 35mm at f/2.8 - 24 stacked H-alpha x 60s at f/1.8
Ground: 4 x 30s, 35mm at f/4
So I want to start this off by saying I am consistently over-ambitious. Take today, for example. Today, I thought to myself, in my second attempt at using my new tablet, why don't I go ahead and try to draw a hood and a magic bubble and a shirt, on top of the usual hair, lighting, and color effects that I normally do.
Mind you, I don't draw/can't draw. Part of the purpose of this tablet is to try new things. Well ... I eventually gave up and realised my hood was actually a cloud. So I made it a magical effing cloud. And by the end I was just brain tired and gave up on the shirt altogether.
Anyways, a pile-up of Kira Balestra.

A pied-billed grebe displays its catch - a pond bluegill - while swimming away from the other grebes.
Described as "one of the most ambitious parish churches in Somerset", the present Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th century.
Recent excavations in the chancel, together with others in the 19th Century in the nave, revealed early foundations. These indicate a large central tower that possibly dated from C.950.
At the beginning of the 15th Century the church had suffered some catastrophe such as the collapse of the central tower. A great deal of re-roofing and repair was done in 1404, and all through the century rebuilding and refurnishing went on. Sometime during this century further damage was caused by the collapse of several pinnacles, whether from the old or new tower is uncertain, and the nave roof had to be practically rebuilt. The west tower is first mentioned in 1484. By the end of the century the church had assumed the appearance which it has today.
The tower rises to a height of 134½ feet, and is the second tallest parish church tower in Somerset.
By contrast:
Glastonbury a little market town with a population of 8,000 become, what is considered to be, the Pagan centre of England? Glastonbury’s fame is twofold. Firstly, it’s known as the Pagan equivalent of Mecca, somewhat popular with not only British Pagan visitors, but also with members from esoteric communities from all over the world. The town regularly sees groups of Spanish and Mexican Witches, Druids from New Zealand and Italy, Heathens from Germany and Russia, and all manner of Pagans from the States and Canada.
