Alright, enough of the gas flame pictures for now. Back to my first love - no, not the pig *G* - I'm talking about HDR! I can't believe this wild boar at the "Lainzer Tiergarten" (a wildlife park in Vienna) was holding still until I took my 3 exposures for this HDR. It was literally posing for me. Luckily the park was closed and there was this fence between me and this beast - otherwise I swear it would have eaten me alive ;-))
So, I'm proudly presenting you my first HDR picture of an animal! As you might recognize I aditionally hit it with some nice orton effect.

Silhouette of fire
Of sparks and darkness
It heralds its presence in flame
Spirit of night
Beacon of light
A beast that cannot be tamed

So we were lighting off fireworks and this picture I took looked vaguely like the muzzle and eyes of a bear, with a little spittle or blood coming from beneath its nose where its mouth would be, if its form were not concealed. It was more the idea than the picture itself that intrigued me. I know it doesnt have anything to it but I like it.
San Miniato al Monte is a basilica in Florence, central Italy, standing atop one of the highest points in the city. It has been described as one of the finest Romanesque structures in Tuscany and one of the most scenic churches in Italy. There is an adjoining Olivetan monastery, seen to the right of the basilica when ascending the stairs.
St. Miniato or Minas was an Armenian prince serving in the Roman army under Emperor Decius. He was denounced as a Christian after becoming a hermit and was brought before the Emperor who was camped outside the gates of Florence. The Emperor ordered him to be thrown to beasts in the Amphitheatre where a panther was called upon him but refused to devour him. Beheaded in the presence of the Emperor, he is alleged to have picked up his head, crossed the Arno and walked up the hill of Mons Fiorentinus to his hermitage. A shrine was later erected at this spot and there was a chapel there by the 8th century. Construction of the present church was begun in 1013 by Bishop Alibrando and it was endowed by the Emperor Henry II. The adjoining monastery began as a Benedictine community, then passed to the Cluniacs and then in 1373 to the Olivetans, who still run it. The monks make famous liqueurs, honey and herbal teas, which they sell from a shop next to the church.
The interior exhibits the early feature of a choir raised on a platform above the large crypt. It has changed little since it was first built. The patterned pavement dates from 1207. The centre of the nave is dominated by the beautiful freestanding Cappella del Crocefisso (Chapel of the Crucifix), designed by Michelozzo in 1448. It originally housed the miraculous crucifix now in Santa Trìnita and is decorated with panels long thought to be painted by Agnolo Gaddi. The terracotta decoration of the vault is by Luca della Robbia.
The crypt is the oldest part of the church and the high altar supposedly contains the bones of St Minias himself (although there is evidence that these were removed to Metz before the church was even built). In the vaults are frescoes by Taddeo Gaddi.
The raised choir and presbytery contain a magnificent Romanesque pulpit and screen made in 1207. The apse is dominated by a great mosaic of Christ between the Virgin and St Minias on its vaulted ceiling dating from 1297; the same subject is depicted on the façade of the church and is probably by the same unknown artist. The crucifix above the high altar is attributed to Luca della Robbia. The sacristy is decorated with a great fresco cycle on the Life of St Benedict by Spinello Aretino (1387).
Goodwood: Festival of Speed: The FIAT S76, later known as the FIAT 300 HP RECORD and nicknamed "The Beast of Turin", was a car built in 1911 by FIAT specifically to beat the land speed record held at the time by Blitzen Benz. It has a 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 28,353 cm3 (1,730.2 in3) (190mm x 250mm), and provides 290 metric hp (290 CV / 213kW) at 1900 rpm.

Having spotted this manifest at Browning with a SD40-2 in the guts, we decided it was worth making the effort to follow it back toward Glacier. (To be fair, we were staying in Essex that night, so we were heading in that direction regardless). But something other than GEVO power definitely motivated us to actually put the effort in.
Here’s the result: scrambling up the side of the hills at Summit trying to salvage a decent angle. Safe to say, once you get west of Summit, this line is not particularly photo-friendly without a drone unless you fancy sliding down an embankment... and doing it all over again.

This cybernetic beast of burden, half mammal and half machine, could be found throughout the galaxy. This red-plated version was commandeered by a member of the Guavian Death Gang.
I loved the luggabeast as soon as we saw it in promo footage for The Force Awakens. A cyborg creature is such an interesting concept!
Biomechanical creature similar to Earth's herbivorous ungulates. Capable of reaching great speeds. The elongated shape of the head suggests that it houses either heat exchange system or internal organs with unknown functions.
We saw the Beast while visiting Liberty Island in the NY/NJ harbor. The following is a blurb from their website. You will have to wait til May if you want a ride.
IT’S LIKE A ROLLERCOASTER ON THE WATER!
Operated by the world-reknown Circle Line, The Beast is New York’s only jet-powered thrill ride speedboat attraction! Don’t be fooled – The Beast isn’t just a monster on the surface.
The Beast has 1400 BHP-horsepower with two ZF 3000 marine gears powered by twin Hamilton Jets, rocketing you through the water at a heart-pounding 40 knots (about 45 mph)!
Blood Polyps, unlike Green Polyps, utilize a great variety of small and agile drones. They, however, require special training which can only be performed by members of a specific caste.

the little willow in our front garden has nearly only skeletal leaves and here are the ravenous beasts...
I feel a little bit sorry about the snail, it will be soon hungry...
The figure of a black griffin holding a banner, forms part of a group which, together with bull, ram and dolphin, are known as the Dacre Beasts. The griffin represents Thomas Lord Dacre's forebears, the Dacres of Gilsland. The banner bears the 19th-century arms (three rose chaplets) of the Greystoke family (The New Greystoke Arms). Chaplets (bearings representing a garland of leaves with four flowers at equal distances) signify great military prowess. The Dacre Beasts are rare survivors of a tradition of heraldic ornament. They represent one of the most powerful families in northern England and are a unique survivors of free standing, large-scale wooden heraldic sculpture from the English Renaissance.
Saw this one night on Toorak Road. Sounded amazing. Unfortunately only got this shot

Arrival in America
This is what should have been the start to a new 30-days-vignette-collection, this time not Harry Potter, but Fantastic Beasts.
But please, don’t get your hopes up, since I’ve cancelled this series. Let’s say that I’ve become a little frustrated with some of TLG’s marketing strategies and therefore lost interest in this project – or better, my motivation is gone by now.
Anyway, since I’ve built them, I thought I might as well upload them. At least the 3 that I’ve finished completely.
