[13:43] Eldridge de Aedirn era consciente del dolor que podía estar sufriendo la cazadora, pero su rostro seguía impune ante esos gritos desgarradores producidos por la transformación de la humana en su forma de bestia. Los guturales rugidos de ese ser resonaron hasta por la cueva en la que se encontraba Eldridge. El brujo abrió los ojos y ya se preparaba, llevó su mano a la empuñadura de su arma de acero. Sus ojos estaban centrados en esa gran piedra, esperaba que la lobisome no lograra acceder a la parte en la que se encontraba Eldridge, ya que ese combate sería de lo más duro y peligroso. Su mano zurda ya marcaba una de las señales, Yrden, por si las cosas se complicaban. – “¿Y bien?” – alzó la voz sin decir nombres, no quería que algún oído indiscreto de la cueva escuchara el nombre de Bri. Eldridge esperaba paciente, no sudaba, su semblante seguía serio y preparado, aunque algo de duda sí que se podía ver en sus ojos ¿La maldita habría controlado la maldición?
[13:51] La Bestia una vez transformada sintió su piel arder por las cadenas de plata, marcándose un violento y profundo aullido de dolor. Sabía que se las había colocado para mantenerse cautiva en la cueva, era medianamente consciente de ello, pero ¡suputamadre! ¡COMO QUEMABAN! Rugió y con fuerza trató de zafarse de las cadenas con furia, respondiendo con ello al brujo al otro lado cuando se escuchaba el quiebre de estas y las lanzaba contra la piedra que tapaba la cueva subterránea. Tras eso, soltó un aullido cabreada y rascando la roca para advertir que la iba a tumbar de un empujón. Joder que bien olía el brujo, necesitaba comer ¿Y si le daba un bocadito? Puta mierda, tendría que haberse hinchado a comer durante todo el día.
[13:59] Eldridge de Aedirn sus ojos se abrieron de par en par, escuchó el ruido de las cadenas, ya se había desecho de ellas. Luego esas garras en la piedra y ese movimiento, no iba a aguantar absolutamente nada. Pero es que ni tiempo a lanzar una señal que la piedra iba volando hacia él dejándose escuchar el 'clonck' al golpearle que terminaba el brujo rodando por el suelo. El mutado se incorporó con rapidez con la mano en la espada, menuda ostia le había dado con la gran piedra. El mutado movió los dedos de su mano zurda, estirando el índice y recogiendo el meñique para doblar anular y corazón, el pulgar lo cerraba un poco. Si el conjuro resultaba exitoso se formaría un círculo a su alrededor con un diámetro de tres metros - "¿Bri?" - su mirada era seria.
[14:12] La Bestia sabía que por ahora Bri era quien tenía el control sobre la ella, aunque esta vez le estaba resultando más costoso que la última vez. No era consciente del poder que ejercía la Luna de Sangre esa noche y parecía mentira que hubiese podido doblegar la voluntad del monstruo que podía escuchar las respiraciones y pulsaciones hasta de cualquier presa del otro lado de la aldea. Concretamente se concentró en una que identificaba a la perfección, la de Yorindel, puesto que en su forma humana había dormido muchas noches sobre su pecho y ese palpitar era similar al del sobre esfuerzo que había podido usar al sanarla ¿Estaría ahora en peligro? La bestia hizo un movimiento ascendente y descendente como respuesta al brujo, pero no hablaba, ni sabía si era capaz de ello. Tan solo cogió una roca y la chutó hacia este en ese pequeño gesto de mofa para recordarle el cómico momento de la anterior Luna Llena lanzándole la calabaza ¿Lo captaría? Aunque no quitaba que tuviera hambre, su mirada anaranjada buscó como buena depredadora una presa y en cuanto su agudizado oído escuchó los toques de una liebre correteando a pocos kilómetros, se lanzó hacia delante, intentado cruzar la barrera de tonos violetas de Eldridge, para cenar algo fresco en el bosque.
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.

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)!
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.
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...

Down at the end of our street were three houses and the entry to the river. Behind these houses were some tall trees that took on the shapes of terrifying giants. Behind those trees lived a race of red giants who were veiled in mystery. They never harmed anyone but might stroll out into our neighborhood at night. They were protectors.

This is Brian, "The Flash, Granddog", who is visiting for the weekend, in the bush.
Saw this one night on Toorak Road. Sounded amazing. Unfortunately only got this shot

This is a real beast, but I am very happy with the results and the play features, including a spacious interior, V-12 engine, movable cannons, smooth running tracks and even a periscope!

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.
I rented this lens this weekend, as you get 3 days for price of 2 on long weekends hehe...and i wanted to try the 85 focal length, as im planning on buying an 85mm. Also i had a trash the dress this weekend (and also a funeral). this is the 85 1.2.....when you see pictures of the 5D, you'll see this big ass lens onthe front of it...its this one. It seems to have a HUGE front element, despite it only being 72mm (by comparison, most L lenses have 77mm elements, and the 16-35 has 82!).....
i took this with the lens facing outwards of my condo, i love how you can see the cityscape in different chromic colours in the lens!
anyway, this lens is 2400....and i can say (samples coming soon) that it possibly has the best bokeh and background blur out there, hands down....if your person is even 1-2 feet away from the background, it will just disappear into an amazing blur of colours, its simply amazing. And it gives new meaning to taking portraits at big apertures...at f1.2, it gives a certain something to faces.
People say its heavy! well, i guess its heavy for a prime, but compared to other lenses (70-200 f2.8 IS come to mind) its nothing...certainly well balanced for a 5D. image quality, colour, contrast, etc all worth the 2 grand. and if you ever had to take a picture in the dark? slap 5D on 3200, f1.2, and there you go...nighttime photography!
BUT!! its not all good.....
the USM is a sucky USM....its slow. autofocus on this beast, considering its got a 1.2 aperture to use, is slow, im talking 60mm macro type slow...ratchets, and on 5D, is slow. Also, the manual focus ring is loose (might have just be my rental), and it doesnt work if the power is off.
this means that, if you have it on close focus, the little lens telescopes out a bit...maximum about 2 cms....and it will be stuck out there unless you turn camera power on, ratchet it back in, then turn it off again...very poor considering 2400 dollar lens.
also, gotta watch the back element, it is very vulnerable to damage when mounting the lens.
technically, it is quite hard to shoot with 1.2 aperture....your focussing plane is about a gazillionth of a decimal place in width....you have to focus very precisely, and keep refocusing...and with the slow autofocus, this is not always easy to do....and you definately cant focus and recompose, it will throw it out.
so all in all, in my very amateur opinion, it aint worth 2400 bucks when the 85 1.8 is so goood for 300 bucks....
I'm not a beast, don’t believe the photographer. I was just yawning.
