For Ottergoose and others this shows the layout at Cardigan Jct. and how the operator accessed the depot. This is Soo Train 2 heading east at Cardigan Jct. on June 10, 1978.
For me, it's hard to say that people I meet in Second Life are "friends". I see them usually only as acquaintances. Perhaps here I will be able to clarify my views on what I believe a friend is and is not.
A friend is so much more than what we are capable of having in Second Life. A friend is someone that will stand beside you through the good and the bad times of life. They share a genuine interest and a physical presence in your life. You can reach out and touch them physically if you need that shoulder to cry on or their arms to hold you in a hug. We know where each other lives and our phone numbers. A friend is a physical presence in your life, not just a Second Life cohort.
Second Life is a virtual platform. We engage with avatars from around the world with different cultures, but how "real" are they, and just how "real" can they ever be? How much can you involve yourself in their lives when most of the time we know them only by their avatar's moniker? How much can you invest emotionally in these "friendships" and actually get beyond the pixels? Usually, we don't even know their real names and have limited accessibility outside. Most often distance is a huge factor. I do know and realize that Second Life friendships and love relationships have carried over to our real lives and even real-life weddings occur. Those are the exceptions to the norm.
I know from personal experiences how vulnerable you can make yourself to these "friends" by exposing your true personalities and real-life aspects. It can be too much real information becomes too much ammunition against you if you were to find yourself with issues and those SL "friends" ignore you or worse yet stab you in the back, betray your trust, kick you to the curb, and distance themselves from you either by unfriending you or by creating another alt avatar and going their separate way. Once they break your trust in this virtual world, you are more watching your back and careful about what you share and with who you share it. From then on what happens in SL is friendship Role Play. Romantic relationships and Second Life marriages are just Role Playing. So, unless you have met this person face to face and real to real it's hard to say they are your friend.
I think that in Second Life you can only take it so far, so unless I had a close relationship with somebody in both worlds that accepts me for who I am and what I stand for I cannot consider them second-life friends and not definitely not real friends. They have to earn my trust and not break it. Thanks to Asarith I have started to believe friendship may be possible again when we talk or practice

The original photo was taken early this morning in the Canley area of Coventry. The view is looking out across the field of Prior Deram Park at a nice golden sunrise.
The photo was taken using the app ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance and Shadows. I also decreased the Highlights a little. After this I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Dead by Dawn by Tony Detroit. Next I used PicsArt to apply the Artistic Oil Painting preset. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset and the Red/Blue Process FX. I then applied the Stucco texture and the Leather frame.

“Red is the great clarifier bright and revealing. I can't imagine becoming bored with red it would be like becoming bored with the person you love.” Diana Vreeland (1903-1989)
Thought I'd share a few more of these:
What I did:
-- Adjust white balance slightly in ACR
-- Ctrl + T to rotate a bit counterclockwise and then crop.
-- my clarify action
-- bumped up midtones and darkened blacks via curves
-- light portraiture (if you don't know what portraiture is, it's a skin smoothing action...def. worth it...Google it!) :)
-- Ran lilyblue's honey action
-- Reduced the honey part way down to 6%
-- Reduced brightness to 7%
-- Increased the pop layer to 39%
-- Stretched the left side of the backdrop to get rid of the vignette a little bit.
That's it!
Each day, while on my way to and from work, I pass a tree in the distance. Set against the backdrop of the not-so-distant mountains, I find myself looking to see what clouds are coming in from the coast or to see how much fog there is, or to check out what kind of sunset we're having today.
Well, this day I decided not to allow another passing to go by without at least trying to capture something of what makes that tree always pull on my attention so strongly. I got out of my car, parked along the road, and I walked back and forth shooting it from different angles until I settled upon this angle and composition that I most liked.
It was in post-processing, though, that this sort of "vintage" feel emerged, helping me clarify what I feel while moving daily through this space in Northern California where I live. It occurred to me that the landscape I see every day reminds me of the history of this region in particular and of California more generally. The impermanence of agriculture and the built environment, which will someday pass away, revert to its original state, or evolve into something new and not yet seen, all remind me of the relative permanence of the trees, the mountains, and the sky. Sometimes I look with envy at the photos of people who live in places like Europe and elsewhere, but today I realize just how much I love the "spectacular everyday-ness" of this magnificent place I call home.
I am always looking to invite a contemplative quality into my photography practice, making it an extension of my daily meditative practice. To be sure I do not always achieve it, but this image represents––at least for me––what it looks like when I do.
This is... me.

Esta imagen no me gusta especialmente, pero sirve para aclarar lo que es la imagen anterior en la que se aprecia la decoración personalizada de la parte frontal del vehículo.
I don't particularly like this image, but it serves to clarify the previous image in which you can see the personalized decoration on the front of the vehicle.

Litlte Wild Bee took advantage of the Sun, out for a couple of hours this morning. She's lading up with the bright yellow pollen of Sanguisorba officinalis., Great Burnet. The English name - referring to the brown-red of the flower - belies its use which the Latin clarifies: Official - that is to say, sold by apothecaries in their 'offices' - Blood Stauncher.
Just a quick upload....I tried to clarify this photo a little, but it did not help due to all of the salt water spray in the air. I just wanted to give you an idea of what Hurricane Bill is causing on the East Coast. Even though it's 1000 miles off shore....it's causing some major beach erosion here in NC. But the Surfers love it!! 14 foot waves today....Surfing pics to follow : ))
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
In an effort to be ;less confusing with my pirate challenges... I will clarify which challenge this is...
One the sim of NeverlandX is the town of Goatswood.... a very pretty town... somewhere near this town is the mysterious place pictured above... to accept this challenge find your way to the sim.... take the train to the village... then explore.
The Challenge is back! This time purely for fun and adventure...
[6 Aug 2013 Note: This was the original challenge... looking at this picture I see that things at the standing stones have changes a little... But as long as this place exists then this challenge will remain active :)]

Today's image was taken earlier this evening in the Canley Ford community Wild Flower Meadow. The view is of a Metallic Sculpture called Kestrel. The sculpture made by Walenty Pytel stands at the northern edge of Meadow.
The photo was taken using the app ProCamera on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then decreased the Highlights and boosted the Ambiance, Warmth and Saturation. Next I used the app Lens Light to apply the Cool colour filter to the image plus I added the Solar Rays light flare to the eye of the Kestrel along with the Ice Ring light surround flare. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Vibrant FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then added the Stucco texture and the Charcoal frame.
After a long, long wait for the ownership of the land underneath the pantograph charging infrastructure to be clarified and the equipment fitted, the 358 has at last started operating its ie-trams, classified IEs by Metrobus. Today got to see the filthiest weather London could throw at them, plus massive crowds, as the 358 is a lot busier than when it started. In fact, it could benefit from being split in half, say across Bromley with the 261 restored to Orpington. This particular bus had a sticky front door and the first pushchair that got on couldn’t get between the first row of seats, so those problems will need addressing. They are also unabashedly weird-looking, but distinctive enough to attract attention, even from civilians, which doesn’t normally happen!
House of the Rising Sun
The Animals
I only mention the title, because as you will see far my picture of the meaning of the letter, but would fail to my essence if not clarified, about this title.
My mother, she was a tailor
Sewed these new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin 'man
Way down in New Orleans
My mother, she would look at me
She said, they are, you've got a long road ahead
They are, some may roll and make you crazy
But do not forget these words I said
And do not forget what your name is
And know what the game is
From the North coast to the South coast
From country to country
Mind to mind
Generation to generation
From time to time
And to sniff across your mind
To go downtown
And to hang around
The House of The Rising Sun
Mother was a tailor
Sewed these new blue-jeans
Father was a gamblin 'man, yea yea
Way down, way down, in New Orleans
And the only thing a gambling man needs
Is some cash, ooh lord, and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied, already
Is when ...
Ya-aah, board and bought, oh no
To where, I do belong
I'm wandering back
To earn my pays, in The House
They call, the Rising Sun
Mother tell your baby children, yea yea
Do not do the things that I've done
Spend your life in without and misery
In The House, they call, the Rising Sun
Ohh
House, of The Rising, Sun
I think few understood the lyrics. speaks of a brothel, game house, ...
This is a sad song ........ those who have been walking out of the "house of the rising sun" in 5 am with empty pockets, fake dreams and lots of debts .... and straight to the end of the rope or under a train ... or those who have been lucky enough to have some kind of support, family or friends and managed to escape the terrible destiny but still scarred for the rest of their life ... there is a saying : king at midnight, beggar at dawn .... kids..don't go down that road ... the house always wins .....
The peony is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America. Scientists differ on the number of species that can be distinguished ranging from 25 to 40,although the current consensus is 33 known species.[The relationships between the species need to be further clarified
Hidden almost out of sight, just off the Huron Street bridge in downtown Stratford, Ontario lies the Shakespearean Gardens. This well manicured English garden offers a formal setting with boxwood hedges,stone walkways, benches and gazebo yet comes alive with the brilliant colour of an amazing array of flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees.
The views from the garden are just as impressive with the historic Perth County Courthouse to one side and the gently flowing Avon River on the other side. Stone steps and a pathway along the Avon River lead you underneath the old Huron Street bridge and towards the Shakespeare Festival.

This was taken somewhere in Jasper National Park but I cannot tell you which lake it is. I guess I had lost my mind with all the astounding beauty surrounding me for I failed to note any pertinent information about this spot. If anyone recognizes it, I'd love to be able to properly tag it! NOTE: Thanks to Dan Jurak for clarifying the location for me.....it is not in Jasper, it is in Banff National Park and the location is Lower Waterfowl Lakes.
I was walking around my neighborhood, trying to catch some interesting evening light, when I suddenly found this flare in my viewfinder.
I simply shot to see what I could get.
I want to clarify that it is not the light emanating from any supernatural being, nor the powerful light emanating from any UAP's (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), which is what the usual UFOs are currently called.

SÓLO UN SIMPLE DESTELLO, 2023
Estaba paseando por mi barrio, para pillar alguna luz interesante del atardecer, cuando de pronto encontré este destello en mi visor.
Simplemente, disparé a ver qué me salía.
Quiero aclarar que no se trata de la luz emanada de ningún ser sobrenatural, ni tampoco la potente luz emanada de un FANI (Fenómeno Anómalo no Identificado), que es como actualmente se llama a los OVNIS de siempre.

All I can do in my writing is to stimulate a certain amount of thought, clarify some technical facts and date my work. But when I preach sharpness, brilliancy, scale, etc., I am just mouthing words, because no words can really describe those terms and qualities it takes the actual print to say, "here it is." - Ansel Adams
One thing I've learned about photography, sometimes you have to go off of your gut feelings. Just basically saying, you know what, I'm going out into the field regardless of the outcome. This particular outing with my buddy Paul Rojas, we had plans on heading to central Utah. This was a trip that we had planned months in advance, but had to change our plans at the VERY last minute due to horrible weather conditions in the area. We changed our plans and decided to head Trona Pinnacles.
Here's where the adventure begins. I've driven in adverse conditions before, but this....this was some other level stuff. The minute I hit the park boundary of Death Valley heading to Trona, it was a torrential downpour. The roads were starting to flood the further into the valley I went. I was hydroplaning all over the place. I had my windshield wipers going at the highest speed and it wasn't doing a damn thing. At this point I contemplated turning around several times, and starting questioning myself, what the hell am I doing driving in the middle of the desert, in a storm, at 3am? Who does that? And to further clarify my statements about the torrential rain, this was the weekend that Death Valley got hit with all the flash floods.
By time I arrived at Trona, my brain was completely fried from all the white knuckle driving I had been doing for the past 2 1/2 hours. When it was all said and done, In the end we were blessed with a Toyota 4 Runner stuck in clay/mud(Paul and I playing in the mud AGAIN...another story) and absolutely killer conditions. It was worth all the stress and tight butt cheeks....would do it again? Yes, in a heartbeat!

Messier 27 Overview:
M27, commonly referred to as the Dumbbell Nebula, is classified as a planetary nebula. This type of nebula is formed when a star reaches the latter stages of its life cycle and expels its outer layers. It is essential to clarify that the term "planetary nebula" is somewhat misleading, as these nebulae do not have any direct association with planets. The nomenclature derives from their resemblance to planets when observed through early telescopes. M27, also known as NGC 6853, was officially included in the New General Catalogue (NGC) in the late 19th century.
Key characteristics:
Discovery: Messier 27 was the first planetary nebula ever discovered, spotted by French astronomer Charles Messier on July 12th, 1764. Also of note - Messier 27 was the first ever planetary nebula to be discovered. Charles Messier found it on July 12, 1764, and described it as a "nebula".
Location: It's located in the constellation Vulpecula (The Fox) in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
Distance: Estimates vary, but it's roughly 1,360 light-years from Earth.
Shape: It gets its popular name, the Dumbbell Nebula, from its distinctive twin-lobed shape, resembling a dumbbell or hourglass. It's also sometimes called the "Apple Core Nebula".
Size: It spans about 2.8 light-years across, and its apparent size is roughly 8.0 x 5.7 arcminutes. For reference, the full moon is about 30 arcminutes in diameter.
Brightness: With an apparent magnitude of +7.5, M27 is one of the brightest planetary nebulae in the sky, making it a popular target for amateur astronomers.
Visibility: It is easily visible with binoculars and small telescopes, especially during summer and early autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
Imaging Telescopes:
Celestron EdgeHD 8″
Imaging Cameras:
ZWO ASI183MC Pro
Dates: August 15th, 21st, 23rd, 24th, and 25th 2025 - September 25th, 26th, and 27th 2025
I don't normally post animals, but I thought I would make an exception. Hardly the expert on animals, the running joke on this trip was that I could not recall which were Mountain Sheep, and which were Mountain Goats. I finally gave up and called them all Mountain Sheepgoats. However, for this post, I clarified that this is indeed a Mountain Goat. We found this medium sized fella all alone on a trail near Logan's Pass in Glacier National Park. The elusive Mountain Goat was on the top of my wife's list of must see's for the trip, so at every turn on every trail we asked those coming down the hill if they had seen any.
The crowds alone should have been enough to tell where they could have been. There was a mob scene where this guy was. I pulled out my biggest lens and started shooting away. Some gal next to me with a point and shoot said that it was cheating using lenses like mine, because that's not what we actually saw. I chuckled and said that when you lug these heavy lenses up a mountain, you earn the right to use them.
The air was still quite smokey which gave this unique color cast to the skylight that made it through the smoke. The colors in this image are not that exaggerated, the smoke was boosting the color with odd orange and other almost ghostly colors. I tried to normalize them a little, but I was actually quite pleased with what was left.
Enjoy!

Today's Canadian North B737 looked like this. Just to clarify they are operating New Leaf budget flights using Flair Air flight numbers.
The barn owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all birds. It is also referred to as the common barn owl, to distinguish it from other species in its family, Tytonidae, which forms one of the two main lineages of living owls, the other being the typical owls (Strigidae). The barn owl is found almost everywhere in the world except polar and desert regions, Asia north of the Himalayas, most of Indonesia and some Pacific islands.[2]
Phylogenetic evidence shows that there are at least three major lineages of barn owl, one in Eurasia and Africa, one in Australasia and one in the New World, and some highly divergent taxa on islands. Some authorities further split the group, recognising up to five species, and further research needs to be done to clarify the position. There is considerable variation between the sizes and colouring of the approximately 28 subspecies but most are between 33 and 39 cm (13 and 15 in) in length with wingspans ranging from 80 to 95 cm (31 to 37 in). The plumage on head and back is a mottled shade of grey or brown, the underparts vary from white to brown and are sometimes speckled with dark markings. The face is characteristically heart-shaped and is white in most species. This owl does not hoot, but utters an eerie, drawn-out shriek.
The barn owl is nocturnal over most of its range but in Britain and some Pacific islands, it also hunts by day. Barn owls specialise in hunting animals on the ground and nearly all of their food consists of small mammals which they locate by sound, their hearing being very acute. They mate for life unless one of the pair gets killed, when a new pair bond may be formed. Breeding takes place at varying times of year according to locality, with a clutch, averaging about four eggs, being laid in a nest in a hollow tree, old building or fissure in a cliff. The female does all the incubation, and she and the young chicks are reliant on the male for food. When large numbers of small prey are readily available, barn owl populations can expand rapidly, and globally the bird is considered to be of least conservation concern. Some subspecies with restricted ranges are more threatened
Glastonbury Tor is a hill at Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building. The whole site is managed by the National Trust, and has been designated a scheduled monument.
The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset Levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, but the method by which they were formed remains unexplained. Artefacts from human visitation have been found, dating from the Iron Age to Roman eras.
Several buildings were constructed on the summit during the Saxon and early medieval periods; they have been interpreted as an early church and monks' hermitage. The head of a wheel cross dating from the 10th or 11th century has been recovered. The original wooden church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1275, and the stone Church of St Michael built on the site in the 14th century. Its tower remains, although it has been restored and partially rebuilt several times. Archaeological excavations during the 20th century sought to clarify the background of the monument and church, but some aspects of their history remain unexplained. The Tor is mentioned in Celtic mythology, particularly in myths linked to King Arthur, and has a number of other enduring mythological and spiritual associations.

So Gunnbuilding and Lord Allo have the league of extraordinary gentlemen, and I've been meaning to do sommat like that for a while now. Then I came across the art book for the 2005 King Kong film in a charity shop for 2 quid. Had a lightbulb moment, and before I knew it, I'd come up with something to keep me busy for a while: Skull Island expeditionary teams. After all, the book itself says 'Skull Island ate expeditions with all the appetite of the full-grown V. Rexes that ruled the landmass in Kong’s absence'. So I feel this gives me quite a bit to work with, plus the book has inspiration enough in what it tells us about Skull island. Just to clarify, only one of these characters is an actual one, the rest are all fictional. Well they're all fictional but you get the idea. Names will likely be a bit sketchy, as I'm a bit shit with them. So, onto the story bit:
Skull Island expeditionary team
Year - 1935
Project legacy
The first of many official expeditions to map and survey Skull Island. Many visits before this have ended in tragedy, but this one will succeed. This time we go only to study, not to interfere. Removing the creature known as 'King Kong' was wrong, both morally and ethically, and this type of action must never happen again.
Team (L to R)-
Theodore Bennet - A businessman who's main interest in Skull island lay in exploiting it for all its monetary value, Bennet was an unfortunate choice for the team. Though he was a scientist, and did have some interest in learning about Skull island, he cared more about fame and notoriety than actual work. He was only allowed to accompany the team because he was a heavy investor in project legacy.
Melvin Dawson - Naturally, Bennet insisted on having a say in who was involved with the expedition. Melvin Dawson, a big game hunter originally from Australia, was someone he insisted on recruiting. Despite the expeditions prime directive being to not damage or interfere with the island in any way, after the multiple failed expeditions before this one, his inclusion was thought necessary. Mr Dawson has little interest in the workings of the animals and creatures of the island, he only has eyes for the trophy's he will bring home with him. The rest of the team are not happy with his inclusion, but some feel more at ease with him around.
Carl Denham - Despite his previous excursion to the island, Denham was willing to once again venture out and explore and document Skull Island. After all, it would make a terrific documentary film, going back to his roots as a filmmaker. He harbours great remorse for how his last visit to the island ended, especially for the loss of Kong. But secretly, he is very keen to see how this loss has affected the island, and what effects it may have for its future.
Virgil Steele - A top explorer and adventurer, Steele was insistent that he be included in this once in a lifetime expedition. however, after seeing his team, and listening to Denham's description of his time on the island, he is a little apprehensive about the trip. He is especially concerned with the safety of his team, as he has doubts about their suitability to expeditionary life.
Professor Douglas Peterson - Like Steele, Prof. Peterson insisted in being included with the expedition. He sees it as a fantastic opportunity to see a world free of the restraints of time, one so isolated and unsullied by the rest of the world. This Island that had been untouched for centuries, perhaps even millennia would prove to be a fantastic source of discovery, the research itself could rival even Darwins.
Joan Goodman - As planning took place, it was increasingly felt that there needed to be someone there to study the artistic beauty of the landscapes, as well as the carvings of the land. Originally, Dr Benjamin Cravitz had been chosen, for his work documenting isolated tribes in Papua New Guinea. However, as a man of a nervous disposition, he came up with an excuse not to go, and instead volunteered his student Joan to go in his place, as not only was she an outstanding student, but she was also a dab hand with a paintbrush, and could produce some marvellous pieces depicting the island landscapes. Joan herself had her doubts, but felt this was too good an opportunity to miss, so agreed to be a part of the expedition.
Captain Gordon Palmer - Captain Palmer was incredibly reluctant to ferry the team to Skull island. through his travels across the world as a cargo ship captain, he had heard rumours about the island, but had always dismissed them as pure fiction. He hadn't for a second considered that he would be captaining a voyage to Skull island. However, the pay would be exponential, and besides, he was just the ferryman. What could possibly go wrong?
So that's the 1935 expeditionary force to Skull Island. You'll most likely never hear about them again, but y'never know. I do have another team for the following year put together, so keep an eye out for that. Oh, the Skull was a fun challenge, built it entirely from three pictures from Lego ideas, of a life size human skull project that sadly didn't make it. Here's a link if anyone wants to check it out: ideas.lego.com/projects/290285f9-b882-4dc3-b714-73aa73a4a...
So that's all for now, as always please lemme know what you think :D
Today's image is of Cheylesmore Manor House. This Grade II* Listed building dates originally from the 13th century. It has the distinction of once being the only Unfortified Royal Palace outside of London. The Manor House and all of the then surrounding grounds of Cheylesmore park once belonged to Queen Isabella (the wife of King Edward II). It was later passed on to her grandson Edward the Black Prince. Over the years the palace was left to ruin due in part to Coventry's lack of Royal support during the English Civil war. The Gatehouse along with two parts of the wings on either side (as seen) are all that survive of the Manor House. The building now forms the Coventry Register Office. The oldest such office in England.
The photo was taken using the App Exposer GL on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I boosted the details of the image along with adding to the warmth and saturation. I then applied some Tonal Contrast to the image. Next I used Distressed FX to add some texture the picture using the Stirred overlay and the Reckoning Texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to apply the Clarify preset along with the Red/Blue process FX. I then added the XL black vignette to the image and the Scratched texture. I then also added the Charcoal frame to the end picture.
Today's photo was taken early this evening at the Canal Basin in Coventry. The view is showing the reflection of a Narrow Boat and a couple of the shops in the Canal.
The photo was taken using the app ProCamera on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the image. I cropped the photo, then I applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the saturation, contrast and warmth of the image. Next I used the app Brushstroke to add the Simple S1 paint preset. I also changed the Canvas type to Hard Grain. I then used the app Mextures to add Dark Forest formula by Ryan Olde. Finally I used the app PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Vibrant FX, a small dark vignette. I then also added the Shadow II frame.

-> Wenn ich Fotos in zum Beispiel in Youtube finde, versuche ich erst mit dir in Kontakt zu treten, sollte das erfolglos bleiben, dann muss ich dich melden.
Und Youtube könnte deinen Youtube-Channel löschen. Willst du das?

Und da reicht es auch nicht aus, wenn man meinen Namen angibt. Siehe Punkt eins und zwei.
-> Es ist schön, das dir mein Foto so gut gefällt, aber du hast es in schlechter Qualität benutzt. Das bringt mir nicht viel.
Darum denke drüber nach, was du tust. Verletzte bitte nicht meine Rechte.
Frage mich einfach. Etwas schlimmeres als ein NEIN kann nicht kommen.
I don't know.. but maybe by some chance this image will leave some of you wanting or possible singing the song "Some Enchanted Evening.. But as for me, I can not carry a tune at all, so I will just leave it up to you my fine friends.. LOL.. :-)

I want to clarify I didn't make this picture. I'm just sharing it.
I got the picture and my information from here: batman.wikia.com/wiki/Gotham_High
So, I figured I'd share this since there are a lot of DC fans on here. Apparently this was a planned Batman cartoon that got cancelled for unknown reasons.
The picture should be self-explanatory, but it's a "What-if they were in high school" scenario.
It looks like it could be pretty cheesy, but I actually quite like the character design and, as a homschooler, the idea intrigues me...
What do you think?
I would like to clarify that I take pictures with a COMPACT CAMERA 2012 most of the time.
Have a nice day =)

Whoever said "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" should have clarified it to "The way to a Father's heart is through his stomach". Happy Father's Day, indeed!
My first 'Tomahawk Steak". 4 pounds of Medium Rare, the BEST steak I have ever had, prepared by my son. Thanks God he didn't get his kitchen prowess from me, or it would have been 4 pounds of Frosted Flakes for dinner.
Absolutely flawlessly prepared, and I didn't dare put a drop of steak sauce or horseradish on it. Don't get me wrong, I'm good with either, but not on this bad boy. A little coarse salt, a little pepper, and I wanted nothing but the natural flavor of the steak. I made a wise decision, indeed.
To all the fathers out there, I hope you had a great day!
I just want to clarify that the lights around Bird were there and not photoshopped in. For anyone familiar with The Hideout, there are Christmas lights in the background. I just kneeled to get the right angle so that this illusion was created...that lights were coming from him, mainly his open palm.
Have a lovely time if you're going to see him today. His music is wonderful.

About this photo:
I am pretty certain that this is a plum blossom and bud. I always have a bit of trouble distinguishing between apple, pear and plum flowers, but I think I remember plums growing on this tree last year.
About the process:
High-contrast and saturated overlays. Anti-Noise filter (Neat image) and inverted High-Pass filter to reduce the background noise. Also, a High-pass filter to clarify the water droplet a bit.
