Much of my exploration of photography for the last year has been driven by weekly challenges for groups to follow a theme. The weekly challenge for the flickr group Macro Mondays for this week was to show something that "It's so Bokeh, can you even tell what it is?"
I experimented with controlling bokeh by using transparent objects prior to this challenge and this image shows how I used the glass base of a goblet to meet the theme. I tried to bisect the glass by showing the refracted frame of the window through the axis of the glass, calling attention to its roundness and transparency.
Snapped with a Pentax K10D camera using the smc P-A 135mm F2.8 lens with a 31 mm extension tube. PP with UFRaw to set white balance, apply curves and saturation, and resize to the JPG.

The oldest plaque at the base of the Turkish Pine (Pinus
halepensis) growing in Oatley Park, Sydney Australia. Although it is undated, it refers to "the Great War" (World War I) in a way that implies it was unveiled before the onset of World War II.
The original "Lone Pine" was a single tree on the battlefield at Gallipoli during the ANZAC campaign in 1915. All other Turkish Pines had been felled in order to conceal Turkish trenches.
The Australian War Memorial records two soldiers that retrieved pine cones from branches on the battlefield. New trees were later grown in Australia from these pine cones.
However, the tree seen here at Oatley Park is one of only 2 grown from a pine cone taken from the Lone Pine tree itself - that is, the one which stood in the middle of the battlefield.
Owen John Davies collected pine cones from Lone Pine and planted these in Australia in 1920.
The second descendant of the Lone Pine was planted in Horsham Golf Club in Victoria.
Australia's deadliest bushfires swept through Victoria in 2008 and the Horsham Golf Club was burnt to the ground.
Two months later the good news came through that that second descendant of the Lone Pine had in fact survived the fire.
According to one club member "all the trees in [the fire's] path were decimated, but for some reason the fire missed the cluster of trees where this [Lone Pine descendant] is and moved to the carpark and destroyed that area.
"It is almost unbelievable to think the original Lone Pine survived the horrors of Gallipoli and then for this tree that grew from its seed to escape the intense fire that went through, well, it's amazing"
Indeed!
Amazing too, to think this important link in Australia's military history sits quietly at the gates of Oatley Park where hundreds of visitors pass by each week - many oblivious to its significance.

Based upon the advice of mikepsiaki, I decided to rebuild the front and the cab of my halftrack. I think it turned out pretty well! Yes, the doors do work. I'm just cool like that.
A BASE jumper settles in his chute. It is completely legal to jump from the Perrine bridge here in Twin Falls, Idaho. This a popular destination for both BASE jumpers, and bungee jumpers. At nearly 500 feet above the river below, this bridge connects Twin Falls interstate 84 just north of the Snake River.
