A Mallard Duck (Drake) with half an eye on me. ( it is in the middle of blinking!! )

Blinking locked with the keyholders all on holiday according to the neighbours. "What did he want", I heard the mans wife say as I despondently walked away.

Put off straight away I was! Had a wander round the graveyard as you have to when a church is locked. Never saw much to interest me,but as I always say to myself in this frustrating situation, I'm sure the locals love it (if they are allowed in)! Decided that I still had time to do a couple more so put Capel St Mary in the satnav and off I went driving past the Case Is Altered, which is also the name of my Dads pub in Ipswich.

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

 

It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

 

It's the Circle of Life

I had the chance to see the Festival of the Lion King in Animal Kingdom for the first time this trip. There isn't much to say, other than it was awesome.

This is our favorite go to restaurant. We’ve been going here since it opened which has to be close to twenty years now. Tonight, I got a last minute invite to join my wife and a couple of our friends for dinner/happy hour on the patio. So, once again, the heavens aligned and I got my photo of old. It gets its name from a sister restaurant in Taos, New Mexico where it was located by the old blinking light on the Main Street in town.

Blinking lights, backlit displays and intense throwing your camera around wiggling focus- and zoom-rings on the lens would result in something like this.

Blinking awake, causing the zombie eye effect.

Both this 1972 Russian Moskvitch and a triangular (very 1960s style) rear blinking lamp are on German eBay right now.

 

I can't afford the actual car. Well, I don't drive anyway. But I think I may be interested in the blinking lamp as a collector's item.

Blinking so you can see both the nictitating membrane sweeping across and the upper, feathered eyelid coming down.

Look closely at the eye and you will see the membrane coming across. This is a transparent eyelid which keeps dust and debris out as ours does, but it closes rearwards instead of downwards.

I did´nt see the lighthouse in the viewfinder and it was very hard to focus on the blinking light from the lighthouse. Best fullsize.

After 4 pics in a row were ruined by blinks... we came up with a solution that seemed to work.

Blinking LED Chandelier.

For this Hugo Boss January 2009 clubroom installation, Geoff Howell Studio created large curved walls that served as movie screens for video loops that we edited and carefully masked to perfectly match the curvature of those walls. In addition, we also built the large sculptural chrome tubed light fixtures, fitted with LEDS and flashing strobes, hung over a series of custom platforms that feauture an optical illusion of infinite depth. The video projections were distortions of a muscular dancing man. All of these elements combined gave the impression of a futuristic dream state where bodies and lights constantly warp and change form.

This scene was also cute, I caught this cub just when (s)he was blinking and also gnawing on a sibling's ear, while the whole family was lying on the "heated stone" (it was cold outside)...

Has blinking light like the current hybrids. Potential use in the tunnel?

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne

 

The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford. It was built by Volker Stevin in 2000.

 

The bridge is sometimes referred to as the Blinking Eye Bridge due to its shape and its tilting method.

 

This tilting arrangement allows ships up to 82ft in height to pass under. The bridge takes as little as 4.5 minutes to rotate through the full 40° from closed to open, depending on wind speed!

Hard to believe it's been 5 thousand days, blinking back the world and holding her in the palm of my hand. When I started this daily journal in November 2007, I was a stranger to my surroundings and barely talked to anyone I met. Everything I thought or felt was locked in my mind with what I'd seen, but I'd finally had enough of keeping to myself. There's a limit to introversion, and invisibility is it. I do well with my own company, certainly better than a crowd, but the need to be known is fundamental in everyone. I can't tell you how much this consistency has changed me, making sure that every day was in some way remembered. All those times when I start thinking that I'd rather settle in and stare at the wall, it's my reminder that adventure is waiting to blow my apathy away. 5 thousand days have followed me through every worst and wonderful thing, life and death, love and loneliness. Most of folks only been around for the past year or two, but if you've one of the old familiar faces, shout out. See you on day 10 thousand. Hold fast.

The world's first and only tilting bridge fully tilted to allow river traffic passage. Said to resemble a blinking eye.

Annalong harbour marker beacon, a few miles south of Newcastle in County Down, Northern Ireland. To the right on the horizon you can see the light from St John's lighthouse coming across the water, on the right the moon is just starting to rise behind the bollards with the beginnings of star tails in the sky. On the marker structure itself the red reflection of the marker lights can be seen on the metal structure in places.

Tenuous Link: FLAME(shaped light bulbs)

This image captured an American Dipper while blinking its white eye-membrane during a courtship or territorial display. Besides being North America's only aquatic songbird, it is also one of the more remarkable bird species. A drab looking, shy, robin-sized bird, it is found on clear, fast-moving, unpolluted rivers and streams in the West from the sub-Arctic down into Mexico. It spends much of its time foraging for aquatic insects and small fish in rushing waters by walking underwater along the bottom using its stubby wings for balance, to propel it forward and resist buoyancy. Well adapted for the cold and a watery environment, it has thick insulating feathers coated with oil from a preening-gland that is 10 times larger than any other songbird. These guys have been known to fly through waterfalls. Its beautiful song is a long series of undulating tremolos and trills, and is especially loud in order to be heard above the sound of roaring waters. On a very cold Yukon winter day, the song provides a welcome serenade during a walk along the river for those lucky enough to hear it.

 

This bird was sitting on a rock singing, bobbing and flashing its eye-membrane beside some fast-moving open water on the Yukon River. It is thought that this flashy display, along with it's habit of bobbing, may help it to communicate better in this noisy environment. The display is used to defend feeding territory and during courtship season. Because this bird was engaged in a long Spring song and courtship season is near, I suspect the message was not "keep out", rather, " I'm over here baby"! The blinking eyelid thing really seemed to stand out , looking like a beacon going on and off.
