These are some of my friends. I bet they were having one of those endless Nikon/Canon discussions. While an obviously brave, fantastic, tremendously good and amazig Olympus was watching them... :-))
One of my photo friends described cars as a continuation of a person's emotional territory. Therefore, a bit of TLC applied to the car is registered as love experienced by the person. The car can of course also be a fetish, but the real power of car ownership is this emotional connection, often invested with feelings of freedom and independence. So, I don't think the car is on the way out, whatever the ecological rational may be. In fact, the electrification of the car is rather an argument for the continuation of private car ownership. I am all for public transport, but it is not easy when you live outside the big cities. We are not ready to give up our car. One day, we know we have to. And will we feel that our independence has been compromised? You bet. Sony A7iii plus a 2x teleconverter plus Helios 44M-7.

Con i miei cani Gioia Kitty e Kelly ci riuniamo mensilmente per parlare di libri.... a volte gli argomenti mancano, e semplicemente parliamo del tempo! :-)
With my dogs Gioia Kitty and Kelly we meet every month to talk about books .... sometimes the arguments are lacking, and we just talk about the weather! :-)
Montpellier - Zoo de Lunaret. Displaced from Vidals (Lacaune) in the Tarn region of France.
Looking like a smart 'stele discoidal' or a slick Celtic circle, the left hand image is simply an attempt to make a grind stone. The stone mason got to a point where his work needed to be turned over, and he must have stopped when he saw the petyroglyphic image of a statue-menhir. The stone mason's lever marker's may be visible on the side edge where his 'baramine' may have scored the rock. There is an argument that these are late neolithic or chalcolithic marks - if so, they are faint. The work to cut the grindstone did remove the upper left and right edges of the menhir's curve. I have made a montage of what it's outer lines may have originally looked like - the right hand image. An adjacent image shows the statue-menhir in situe, surrounded by animals with not a word of refrance, (pre)history or context (see below).
the meeting room was cold. he stood, the argument unfolding. the gesture repeated itself, a rhythm of concentration. skin touched glass, searching for the precise word. the point of contact was the point of decision.
Sentado al borde del océano y con todas esas decisiones que tomar revoloteando a mi alrededor, el tiempo pasa y yo sigo perdido en desenredar la madeja de mis emociones. Al nacer nos tendrían que dar un manual de instrucciones, aprendiendo a vivir se llamaría, al fin y al cabo, nosotros no decidimos venir. Mi corazón en un extremo de la cuerda y mi cerebro en el otro. De momento ninguno parece ceder. Ambos tienen perfecta réplica a los argumentos del otro. Y yo, que soy la cuerda, estoy empezando a creer que terminaré rompiendo. La luna, en cuarto creciente, simplemente está. Le da igual lo que yo pueda estar pensando, sintiendo. Pronto estará llena de una luz que ni siquiera es suya. Cuando eso ocurra, espero haber encontrado el camino. Por falta de luz no será...
Tabaiba. El Rosario. Tenerife. Spain.
Myself and a Friend Tony Nixon have set up a Woodland feeding station in our local woods and we attract a large variety of birds visiting each autumn, winter and spring. We are able to put out different perches and props,allowing us some great photographic opportunities.
This female Blackcap was a regular visitor a couple of years back and on this occasion she was showing the Siskins who was boss !

A story by Carl Sagan, that is demonstrating the same argumentation as "the flying spaghettimonster" and Russell`s "celestial teapot" is demonstrating:
"The Dragon in My Garage" (youtube 04:04) (see also "argumentum ad ignorantiam")
The Oufs: "The Spaghetti Monster Song" (youtube 2:10)
"The Spaghetti Monster versus the Invisible Pink Unicorn" (youtube 3:11)
Like the Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU), also the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is a parody religion following the principles of Russell`s Celestial Teapot.
It is putting into practice what Russell did write about. But useing the flying spaghetti monster instead of a teapot.
If you don`t know this religion,please ask wikipedia, or ask google (keywords: "spaghetti monster" "pastafarian") and you will find informations in your language.
Nicht zu vergessen: Niko Alm wurde wegen seiner Mitgliedschaft beim Fliegenden Spaghettimonster (siehe auch Nudelsieb auf Führerscheinfoto) als Religionssprecher der Neos abgesetzt (nach ÖVP Kritik)

Marcus Rashford
For those who don't know the story.
The government had decided to remove the free school meals for poor children over the summer holidays. (There are two sides to the rightness of this)
Marcus Rashford argued for humanity in the case of these children. His arguments were calm, measured and in using his own childhood's experience, persuasive.
He captured the popular mood and virtually everyone, apart from the government, could see the basic goodness in his case.
Soon the groundswell became unstoppable and the government performed a shuddering U turn - poor children will be fed this summer.
Rashford turned out to be more than simply a northern footballer.
Humanity.
Taormina, Palermo, Syrakus, die Tempel von Agrigento und Selinunte, alle jene klassischen Sehenswürdigkeiten reihen sich an Siziliens Küsten auf. Das Hinterland kann da im Touri-Programm schon mal auf der Strecke bleiben. Und Hand aufs Herz: Uns Bahnfotografen geht es doch oft, abgesehen von der Schmalspurbahn um den Ätna natürlich, nicht anders! Caimani mit tiefblauem Meer sind ja schließlich auch ein mehr als valides Argument (gewesen)...;)
Doch auch ein Blick in das Inselinnere, ins wahre Herzen des oft nach innen gewandten Siziliens lohnt sich. Eine passende Lektüre dabei ist zum Beispiel das lesenswerte, bebilderte Reisetagebuch "Mit dem Rücken zum Meer" von Andreas Rossmann. Aber schweifen wir nicht zu weit ab!
Durchzogen wird das Hügelland der Provinzen Enna und Caltanissetta von der eingleisigen Strecke Catania - Palermo, von der wiederum jene nach Canicattì und Agrigento abzweigen. An ersterem Abzweig liegt auch die Provinzhauptstadt Caltanissetta. Zwischen den Bahnhöfen Centrale und Xirbi überbrückt nördlich des Zentrums ein eleganter zwölfbögiger Viadukt das Busiti-Tal.
Als wir im Frühjahr 2014 die Gegend besuchten, war der Verkehr rund um Caltanissetta trotz weitgehender Elektrifizierung fest in Händen der ALn 668. So auch der morgendliche Regionale 8675 (Roccapalumba-Alia - Caltanissetta), der durch die saftig grünen Felder seinem Ziel entgegen brummte. Wenige Monate später wird sich das frische grün in fahles ocker verwandelt haben...
Nach dem Foto ging es für uns dann auf einen Caffè in eine kleine Bar, in einer gesichtslosen Geschäftsstraße irgendwo zwischen Autowerkstatt und Krämerladen gelegen. Der Barista dort lief zu Hochtouren auf und klärte die (vermeintlich?) unwissenden Auswärtigen über die Finessen des gepflegten Espresso-Genusses auf ("Il bicchierino d'acqua si beve prima il caffè!"). Das sind so die kleinen Geschichten, die in Erinnerung bleiben. :)

Hello all!
I have two final essays due tomorrow at midnight. Eekk! Im soooooo excited that its almost done! I have 1.5 more of the paper left to do. It’s already 5 pages long single spaced.
So today I’ve been pondering the sony argument. We all know what it is: sony isnt a pro camera, they suck, etc… why did you buy a sony? You should have gone Nikon or canon.
Let me tell you why I chose Sony and am sticking with them:
1.Backed by Konica Minolta legacy (do your research, Sony bought them, along with Tamron)
2.The Leica-Minolta & Ziess glass. Mmmmm expensive but yummy…..
3.Innovative technology of a multimedia giant with lots of cash to spend on improving their cameras and offer the best lenses!
4.Since 2006, Sony has been engineering awesomeness to compete with Nikon & Canon, while the prices on lenses can be quite high, but with M42 adapters, oh the possibilities with older Minolta leica-flavored glass!
5.A100 voted best camera of the year when it first released, A700 is compared to Nikon D300 and Canon 1D III
6.I have the A100 and plan on getting the A700.
So, to all of you who asked me why I chose Sony, and to all of you who dissed my choice. There you go. And it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Oh and for the record, if Sony never existed in the dslr arena, I’d go Nikon. ;)
But after all the non-sense, does it really matter? Do we know what brush brand or paint combinations Leonardo De Vinci used to paint the Mona Lisa? How about Michael Angelo and the tools he used to sculpt David? We probably don’t unless we do research. So what’s the different for a photo?
Let art speak for itself, not the tools used to create it.
Project 365: day 192
Social isolation already done in Dreamland aka Finland.
There are no secret to avoiding arguments with difficult People, I don't want to argue with anybody because I am crazy.
Finns known to be quiet and shy, not really. There’s no necessity to fill gaps in conversation with chatter. Suits me fine. I can be a chatter box but I can be shy as dingo Australian wild dog.
Self isolation is privilege and not everyone afford it, please do help some poor, lesser, older and weaker people.
I had a little argument with my parrot last night... too many "strange birds" and no Okki for a long long time! I really hope he's happy with seeing his face on Flickr now!
I may sound a bit weird, but he really does recognize his own face on a photo!
After all, parrots are the most intelligent birds.
I had no idea about that until I met this guy!

Há uns tipos chatos na Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, na Baixa lisboeta, que assediam os turistas pedestres que por ali passam tentando convencê-los a ir comer no restaurante em que trabalham. Esta moça em Báli faz o mesmo trabalho, mas com muito mais charme do que os portugas lá de Lisboa, e avaliando os argumentos dela temo que isto seja concorrência desleal contra os restaurantes das proximidades…
