I stood by life's edge..
I looked beyond;
Made a solemn pledge
To keep moving on.
Still, of me a part
I leave behind
For you to find
If you come along...

Unknown to me, when I was taking this shot, I was the subject of not one, but two of my fellow photographers. Here are links to the shots taken by Chuck Knowles and Robert Gifford. With a view like this, I'm not really sure why they had their cameras pointed at me? ;-)
This shot was taken at the beginning of the outlet from Little Redfish Lake. If you look at Robert's shot below (taken at 27mm effective), you can see the effect that going super wide (17mm) had on this scene.

"I look into the mirror
See myself, I'm over me
I need space for my desires
Have to dive into my fantasies
I know as soon as I'll arrive
Everything is possible
Cause no one has to hide
Beyond the invisible"
- Enigma
I can't express in words or images what this song means to me or the impact it has had on me creatively. It is my favorite song of all time. There's no way I could do it justice through one image, so I will be re-doing this concept again, on a much grander scale. I really wanted to take a painterly photo without Photoshop - I don't know how successful I am, but at least I've been cosistent lately!
I don't know a lot of people that listen to Enigma: do you?
Beyond this point lies the salt marsh, the San Pablo Bay and then the mountain range on the distant shoreline. The sunsets over the San Pablo Bay are some of the most beautiful that I've seen--and Mare Island is a great place from which to watch and photograph them.
While some signs restricting access to various places may be relics from the days when Mare Island was an active naval base, that's not the case with the sign in this picture! Other signs in the area warn visitors to stay on the trail because of ticks and damage that might be caused to the Harvest Mouse's habitat. Perhaps the most complelling reason, however, is that old ordinances are still being unearthed and removed from the area. (Oh, and I met a guy tonight who said that stepped off the trail and said that he picked up over thirty ticks on each leg after only a couple of minutes! Yikes!)
Notwithstanding, the Mare Island San Pablo Bay Walking Trail is fun to hike. While I was there last night, I initially saw only a couple other people but was soon left alone to enjoy the solitude. A beautiful sunset over the San Pablo Bay and distant mountain range was taking place as I took this picture. I had been hiking along the salt marsh on the Mare Island San Pablo Bay Walking Trail, which is located on the western side of Mare Island. The trail was fairly flat and offers some really exquisite panoramic vistas of the San Pablo Bay, Mt. Diablo, the Carquinez Strait, the East Bay hills, Mt. Tamalpais and the Sonoma and Napa Valleys (all from one place)! It is a magnet for people carrying cameras!

Rest on this earth is false rest. Beware of those who urge you to find happiness here; Try this Imagine a perfect world. Whatever that means to you imagine it. Does that mean Peace? Then envision absolute traquility. Does a perfect world imply Joy? Then create your highest happiness. Will a perfect world have love? If so, ponder a place where love has no bounds. Whatever heavens means to you, imagine it. Get it firmly fixed in your mind...........
The Great spotted woodpecker , Dendrocopos major is one of three native woodpeckers here in the U.K ( the other two species are the Lesser spotted and Green woodpecker ) The Great spotted woodpecker is actually smaller than most people imagine being roughly the same size as a Blackbird. It’s easily confused with the lesser spotted woodpecker, which is much smaller (roughly sparrow-sized) and has distinctive white stripes on its back.
The GSW has white cheeks with black lines underneath and a black cap. Males can be identified by a red patch on the back of the neck. They have a pale breast with black upper parts, and a bright red rump. Their wings are black with white spots. It has a wingspan of 34 to 38cm and an average weight of around 85g. The beak is thick and powerful. The average lifespan in the wild is approximately two years.
Great spotted woodpeckers can be found across mainland Britain, but are limited to the west of Ireland. Mature broadleaved woodland is prime habitat, but great spotted woodpeckers can be found in coniferous woodland and parks or gardens with plenty of mature trees. Listening out for the great spotted woodpecker’s distinctive drumming is the easiest way to tell if the species is around. You might also see the holes woodpeckers have made in tree trunks when hunting. Sightings in woodland are often fleeting, as these birds can be shy of humans. The best views are often available in gardens, where woodpeckers are attracted to feeders containing nuts, seeds and suet.
Although there are over 200 species of woodpecker in the world, there are only 3 species in the UK: the Great Spotted Woodpecker, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, and the Green Woodpecker.
Insects are the great spotted woodpecker’s main prey. It uses its powerful beak to hammer holes in tree bark and then extracts beetle larvae with its long, flexible tongue. Caterpillars, adult beetles and spiders are also taken. In spring, the chicks and eggs of smaller birds are often eaten. Species that nest in tree cavities are targeted as woodpeckers can use their beaks to access these spaces. Nuts and seeds are also an important food source, particularly in winter. When woodpeckers hammer into wood to get at grubs, they also have another anatomical adaptation designed to help them feed. The roots of their tongues are coiled round the back of their skulls and can be extended a prodigious distance to harpoon insect larvae in their tunnels. The Great Spotted Woodpecker’s tongue protrudes 40mm beyond the tip of the bill.
The great spotted woodpecker’s beak plays a key role in its breeding behaviour. Males use it to hammer against dead trees, making a drumming sound. This proclaims ownership of its territory, warning off any rivals. Such activity would cause brain damage among most birds, but woodpeckers have a shock-absorbing skull that means they are not affected by the impact. The beak is also used to excavate a nesting cavity within a tree. Once the hole is ready, four to six eggs are that measure 27 mm × 20 mm and weigh about 5.7 g .
They are laid from mid-April to June. The eggs are incubated by either adult during the day and by the male at night,for 10–12 days before hatching. Both birds brood and feed the naked chicks and keep the nest clean. The young fledge in 20–23 days from hatching. Each parent then takes responsibility for feeding part of the brood for about ten days, during which time they normally remain close to the nest tree.
The great spotted woodpecker population is doing well and has increased by more than 300% since the 1970s. There are now around 25,000 to 30,000 pairs of these striking birds breeding in Britain. They do need woodland, but that does not mean they will not visit isolated groups of trees or even single ones if they have nice dead wood on them with lots of grubs to eat. A few pairs now breed in Ireland, making them a recent colonist. It’s thought the species may have benefited from an increase in dead wood caused by Dutch elm disease, as well as the availability of food in gardens. As this species relies on mature trees and woodland, it’s important that these habitats are protected to safeguard the great spotted woodpecker’s future.

The early autumn sun breaks below the branches of the trees filling everywhere with its golden light.
Nel tronco cavo
C’è un grande albero montano, isolato e nudo.
Difficile dirne l’essenza:
il verde lo ha perduto da tempo.
Non è molto alto, ma l’enorme tronco
mi offrì il suo scudo
una ventosa mattina di novembre.
Dentro - quiete, conforto,
assoluto silenzio.
Fuori – il vorticoso turbinìo dell’esistenza.
Sulle pareti levigate, come incisioni rupestri,
migliaia di valli
scavate da lenti fiumi di linfa,
corridoi celesti senza lumi di stella.
Dove si direbbe assente scopro intatto
l'amore per la vita;
come in quel tronco nudo, sbiancato e cavo
che per decine di decenni
prima che fluisse altrove l'ha cullata.
(da curva di luce, 2005)
In a previous post “Where the Junipers Grow”; there is a peak far beyond and to the left of the sprawling Juniper, in the middle of the photo. I packed cold weather, night gear, plenty of food and water (in case I didn’t make it back before dark) and headed to the peak to hopefully find a nice vista for pictures. I went up and over the peak and this is what I saw. I added the previous post for you to view (really just to improve my stats :) )
And, the Village Idiots are very upset with my last few post, so please help put a stop to Gang Stalking, Community Based Stalking and Workplace Mobbing by signing the following petitions. These immoral acts are allowed in Yosemite National Park. Thank you for taking the time to visit my photostream.

I have known about these LR's for 4 years, and they are slowly sinking into the earth. I guess they are beyond help.
Edit: now on youtube: www.youtube.com/user/BeyondTheBrickTV !
I've always liked the new Beyond the Brick logo, though it always annoyed me how a LEGO podcast didn't have a brick built logo.
So I decided to build them one.
Hey! Today is Wed! You never know who you might hear...

So many of our myths and legends in the UK have links to various versions of King Arthur and the legends of Avalon. However, magical stories of fae and fantasy go far beyond. My blog today is based in pure imagination, helped along by my recent visit to the 30L Saturday 9th Aniversary Event (honestly, if you haven’t been along, you need to – there are so many fantastic items to snap up!) The skin and wings are from Stargazer Creations and the dress is from UNA but have a look at my blog for the full style guide:
