A massively clarified view roughly south from Sgùrr na Banachdich in the Cuillin range on the Isle of Skye.

 

The peak in the foreground is the western top of Sgùrr Dearg, also part of the Cuillin and only about a kilometre away. Beyond that is the island of Eigg, beyond that the Ardnamurchan peninsula (whose tip, out of shot to the right, is the furthest west point in the mainland of Great Britain) and in the far distance is Ben More, the highest mountain and only Munro on the Isle of Mull, about 90 kilometres/60 miles away.

 

I've added some grain to disguise the rather unpleasant noise caused by the small sensor and greatly exaggerated by the clarification. Previously posted in colour.

The Siq (Arabic: السيق‎, transliterated al-Sīq, transcribed as-Sīq,[a] literally 'the Shaft') is the main entrance to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra in southern Jordan. Also known as Siqit, the main entrance in Petra is a dim, narrow gorge (in some points no more than 3 metres (10 ft) wide) winds its way approximately 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) and ends at Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh (the Treasury). A wide valley outside leading to the Siq is known as the Bab as-Sīq (Gateway to the Siq).

 

Unlike slot canyons like Antelope Canyon, which are directly shaped by water, the Siq is a natural geological fault split apart by tectonic forces; only later was it worn smooth by water. The walls that enclose the Siq stand between 91–182 metres (299–597 ft) in height.]

 

The entrance to the Siq contains a huge dam, reconstructed in 1963 and again in 1991, designed to bar the mouth of the Siq and reroute the waters of Wadi Musa. The dam is a fairly true reconstruction of what the Nabataeans did to control Wadi Musa between the 1st century BC and the beginning of the 1st century AD. The entrance also contains the remnants of a monumental arch, of which only the two abutments and some hewn stones of the arch itself have survived. The arch collapsed in 1896 following an earthquake, but its appearance is known from the lithographs of Matthew Boulby and David Roberts.

 

The Siq was used as the grand caravan entrance into Petra. Along both walls of the fissure are a number of votive niches containing baetyli, which suggest that the Siq was sacred to the Nabatean people. In 1998, a group of statues were uncovered when digging was conducted to lower the road by more than six feet. Although the upper part is greatly eroded, it is still possible to recognise the figures of two merchants, each leading two camels. The figures are almost twice lifesize.

 

Along the Siq are some underground chambers, the function of which has not yet been clarified. The possibility that they were tombs has been excluded, and archaeologists find it difficult to believe that they were dwellings. The majority consensus is that they housed the guards that defended the main entrance to Petra.

The mountains at the head of Turnagain Arm, where the Placer, Portage, and Twenty Mile Rivers meet, are pictured. For those familiar with the area, could you clarify whether these snow-capped mountains belong to the Kenai or Chugach range?

I heard on the news this morning that the Catholic church may not allow a Catholic burial for those who decide to end their life through assisted dying if this new bill gets accepted. I thought we were trying alleviate suffering in the world.....for all people. They did clarify that each person's case would be judged individually. This is where you hope the church will act with compassion.

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.

Not 100% sure of the ID, if anyone can help, it would be great.

ID clarified.

 

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

once again, let me clarify.. no color work here ..

There's a good reason you may remember her... there was a hiccup and a few latest photos vanished... :))))

 

I feel that I need to clarify this portrait - she is listening to a serious classical music and not angry at anyone... ;))))))

How much energy does it really take to just say, "hey, what did you mean when you said *blah blah blah?" . I am sure less than bullying someone for it. If you have energy to make fun of the way ppl communicate, you have enough to clarify instead.

It is Kam aka Tomatoskin in the water, Hock How was also in the water, but was not as close to me.

 

Just to clarify, I didn't get wet, stayed dry :-)

The point of this reminder isn’t to be morbid or promote fear, but to inspire, motivate and clarify.

The kind words from my wife when I showed her this photo of a Kingfisher. To clarify, I didn't :)

Played around with a fair amount of curve adjustments tonight. The ruins I did first followed by the rays. Colour balancing to set the mood then the Knight and his eagle to set the stage. Just to clarify it is a composite of free stock i've used from deviant art.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends...

 

I would just like to extend an honest, heart-felt thank you to everyone that has been there for me over the past two weeks. Especially, Jennifer and Florian, Gwyn, Bernat and a special thanks to Jimmy, who had his Sunday school class praying for my mother. I was blown away.

 

I was never a big believer in technology bringing people together, or making friends over the net but damn if there isn't a whole bunch of your Flickrites that I would do anything for!

 

I found the above photo at the bottom of my mother's drawer while cleaning things out for the big move. My mother will be moving her bedroom downstairs, and we will be moving our apartment to the top two floors.

 

Who says you can never go home again.

 

By the way, thats me. Guessing about 4 or 5 years old. I'm messing around on my favorite jack in the bay of my father's repair shop. I still have the jack. And, yes I do occasionally ride it and jack myself up...just for the hell of it!

The Cathedral of Seville is built on the old aljama mosque of the city, this shows the power that one culture exercises over another when it is conquered. This fact makes its plan different, facing Mecca and not Jerusalem, that is, facing south instead of east. It should be clarified that Mecca is oriented at 10o from Seville and not at 86o as the old mosque is oriented, this is due to the fact that in Al-Andalus the mosques had to be oriented towards the south quadrant and not towards the east, as the Christian churches did. When the Cathedral Chapter commissioned the design of the Gothic Cathedral, it stated verbatim that it wanted a Cathedral that everyone who saw it would take for crazy. For this, 5 naves were created that covered the 116 by 76 meter rectangle occupied by the Almohad mosque, this results, unlike what was usual in the great European Gothic Cathedrals, a hall plan with a Latin cross marked in height and in width by the central naves and the transept. This hall plan also results in the absence of an ambulatory at the head, which ends in a straight line like the wall of the old mosque. Later the Royal Chapel would be added, which is a Renaissance apse, but it does not really correspond to the Gothic company. In the naves of the Gospel and the Epistle, which are the lateral naves, there are many chapels. The 60 pillars support 68 ogive vaults, highlighting those of the transept and central nave with their star shapes. Instead of placing a clerestory, a continuous balcony was chosen along the main nave in order to be able to wander around the temple without being seen. Located in the central nave, in order from the feet, are the Retrochoir, the Choir, with two organs, the Transept, the Main Altar, the Back of Altar and the Royal Chapel.

The Bouvelo Chapel dates from 1925 and is located 80 meters above sea level.

You have a wide view of the surroundings, towards the Scheldt valley and the Leie valley.

In front of the chapel, an orientation table clarifies where the villages in the region are situated.

just to clarify again, there is no photoshop on this photo (or any of my photos except for cleaning dust off from the scanner)... this is all done inside the camera... :)

I don't often tell people when I get lost, but this night I got very lost. This picture was taken just before I made a couple of bad choices that got me nearly stuck in the mud in a place with no roads. Thankfully I didn't get stuck in the mud, and I found my way back to civilization.

While I don't know how old this 'house' is, I have always been intrigued by old things. I often wonder what their stories are. I'm sure this old shack has seen it's fair share of storms, and so this is nothing new (at least for it - I had never seen this sight). But it has to be getting weaker by the year. And if it's going to get knocked over, it's very likely that it's by a South Dakota storm (whether a summer thunderstorm or a winter blizzard). And so I wonder, if buildings could feel, if each storm successive makes it a little more nervous that this might be it's last. One could hope if that is how it meets it's end, that at least there could be a beautiful moment of glory before the storm takes this old shack.

 

**Please let me know if something doesn't seem right with this image. I tried something new with image, so critiques are more than welcome (as always - but sometimes it takes a little encouragement). I appreciate positive comments (always) as well, but I find that I learn more through criticism.

 

[>--*Edit*--<]

Now it's time to let 'the cat out of the bag' and let you all know why I wanted you to treat this image a little differently than my usual.

 

In this maytag97 can help as he clarified a key difference. Those 'rays' weren't there originally and are drawn in using Photoshop. I normally wouldn't do anything of the sort, but I felt it was necessary (to help pull the image together) as the image itself isn't 'real' either. The sun/sky were taken from one image (and flipped horizontally), and the landscape was taken from another image. The images were taken on different days and from different locations. However, if I had been at the location where I took the landscape/shack pic on the same night as the storm was moving through I very possibly could have gotten an image very much like this (I feel).

 

I felt the final image was compelling and wanted to see what others thought, hence the emphasis on 'criticisms.'

Again, thank you all.

I have observed the Australasian Darters for many years but only recently I've came to the conclusion that males feed the young birds much longer than the females.

Just to clarify - the father is on the lower branch...

Historia de la fotografía:

Para tomar estas fotografías, siempre tengo que madrugar para capturar la salida del sol de un dia nublado.

Quería capturar la salida del sol con nubes para darle mayor impacto visual, por lo que estaba pendiente del parte meteorológico que indicara nubes.

Llego a Vilanova i la Geltrú temprano y preparo el equipo a la espera de su salida y realicé varios disparos de distintos parámetros con el fin de asegurar que tuviera detalle la zona cercana al sol (las altas luces).

También que se sepa lo que tiene uno que hacer, para lograr estas fotografías y que no te las encuentras por casualidad.

Espero que os guste apreciados amigos.

History of photography:

To take these pictures, I always have to get up early to capture the sunrise on a cloudy day.

He wanted to capture the sunrise with clouds for added visual impact, so he kept an eye on the weather forecast for clouds.

I arrive in Vilanova i la Geltrú early and prepare the equipment while waiting for it to leave and I took several shots with different parameters in order to ensure that the area near the sun (the highlights) had detail.

Also that you know what one has to do, to achieve these photographs and that you do not find them by chance.

I hope you like it dear friends.

I underexposed the photograph to have better detail in the highlights and sun, clarifying the sea during editing.

Today's image was taken near to Kenilworth. It is a view looking up the lane toward an empty barn that is part of the Cryfield Grange Farmhouse.

 

The photo was taken using the App ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.

 

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped and Straightened the image. I then applied the Tonal Contrast and HDR Scape filter. After this I added the number 5 glamour glow filter to the image. Next I used the app Waterlogue to apply the Vibrant watercolour setting to the picture. Finally I used the app PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset a small dark vignette, the Canvas texture and the Parchment frame.

Base of Govetts Leap as shot from Govetts Leap lookout. The waterfall is one of the longer single drop falls in the Blue Mountains at 180m drop. This image shows the last ~50m of the fall. The falls were once also named "Bridal Veil Falls", however this caused confusion with another fall in nearby Leura of the same name. Thank you to the members on the "Blue Mountains Waterfalls" Flickr group for clarifying the name of the falls.

The image for today was taken this evening at home in my kitchen. The view is my entry for Macro Mondays. The theme for this entry is Stitch. I thought that I would try a variation on the theme today by capturing the label being Un-Stitched on an old pair of jeans. As always today's image was taken and edited on my iPhone 6.

 

The photo was taken using a Macro Lens attachment and the app 645 Pro on my iPhone 6.

 

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance and Shadows. I also added a vignette and decreased the Highlights. Next I used the app ShockMyPic to apply an abstract painterly effect to the image. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset and a Deep Dark Vignette. I then applied the Stucco texture and the Stacked frame.

I believe these to be juvenile Wood Ducks. But now I think the photo I posted just before this one is the same pair? Can anyone look at both photos and clarify. I thought perhaps the photo before this one was of a mature pair. The light was definitely better when I shot these two, which happen to be hanging out where the other two have been spotted by me for the past week or so.

UP SD60M 2281 and UP SD60 2236 come by West Armour as they head down the BNSF St Joseph Sub for KC. This UP MSJKC 07 is passing through the small town of Rushville, MO (in the background) in which the UP used to run west across the Missouri River and into Atkinson, KS to join their own line (UP Falls City Sub). While on the BNSF the F is added to symbol clarifying it is a "foreign" train.

The floods of June 2011 destroyed the Atkinson river bridge and now the UP runs everything on the BNSF to and from St Joseph. These searchlights are no about to be history as another once different line will become like every other piece of track in most cases.

The image today was taken early this morning just before I went to work, not far from where I live. It is a view looking towards the rising sun over Prior Deram park.

 

The photo was taken using the App VividHDR on my iPhone 6.

 

First I used the app Lightroom to straighten the image. I then changed the White balance to warm the image up a little. I then applied the Old Polar and Warm presets. Next I used the app Enlight to apply a lightly customised version of the Artistic Dahlia painting preset along with a little of the clarity setting. Finally I used PhotoToaster apply a little of the Clarify setting and add the Leather frame.

Last year’s holiday star was for my friend Harry Urban, and showed my enjoyment of embroidery.

This year’s star shows six sharp “pointy” points. This picture goes with my blog entry about dementia symptom of not connecting cause with effect, and the various strategies now that i have returned from Emergency Room, Life Flight, and emergency removal of very "pointy" thing from my throat.

 

-- Tru finished 07Dec2021 and blog entry at >> truthfulkindness.com/2021/12/10/pointy-pkg/ .

UPDATE: Since I have been wrongfully accused in the comments below of doctoring this image, I want to clarify a few things. The rays you see in the sky are anti-crepuscular rays which occur in the opposite direction of the rising sun. Those rays in combination with the Belt of Venus are responsible for the color and texture in the sky. This is an optical phenomenon that is more often seen in high altitude environments such as this. There were no "Luminar" sunrays added and I would have no problem showing the raw file.

 

Several of the western states are currently engulfed in wildfires and smoke, with California, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington being the worst affected. Many people and wildlife have been displaced from their communities. Firefighters are working bravely and tirelessly to contain the spread and minimize the devastating impact. Today, we are dedicating this image to all that have been affected by the recent fires. This was the last evening of a smoke-free sky in the PNW.

 

Please note the proceeds of any prints purchased in September will be donated to the National Fallen FireFighter Foundation and National Forest Services.

 

I shot this scene as a stitched pano in vertical mode which allowed me to use a longer focal length. If I had used a wide angle lens, the background mountains would look flat and the full moon would be very small. By shooting a pano I now have a 170 MP image to make very large prints.

The other day, I uploaded a rather scruffy Kingfisher waiting on a rock on the muddy foreshore at Cairns. I thought this was the same bird as it was just behind the other shot, but, a close look says it is not. This one is a little more sleek and also very tidy with the orange on its head, making it most probably a Sacred (and in Brisbane, sometimes called Mangrove) Kingfisher. Thanks to Eleanor for her clarifying ID below. I am less than an amateur with birds and to the untrained eye, these blue Kingfishers look similar. When in Townsville I shot one which was a little different again and ID'd as a Forest Kingfisher.

Chess is believed to have originated in India sometime before the 7th century. The game was derived from the Indian game chaturanga. Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a checkered game board with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The game is played by millions of people worldwide.

Chess is one of the most mind bending and intellectually stimulating games available. It has been proven to develop you analytical skills and help to clarify your thinking. Although it is very complex game to play well, it is very easy to begin. Once you learn the basic moves each piece can do and a few other rules you can begin to play. Practicing is where you really learn to become a better player. You can never be to young to learn and many people keep learning past their old age.

 

First, Merton clarified the stages of contemplation: its starting point is finding the true self, its goal is union with God or an awakening to Reality, and its fruit is openness and sharing of compassionate love with others. Merton began his search for God not from outside the self but inside the self. He stated, “Our real journey in life is interior: it is a matter of growth, deepening and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts.” 158 He claimed that if contemplative life was conceived merely in classical categories such as “a life of withdrawal, tranquility, retirement, silence,” and rigid ascetical disciplines for the monk only, it would be “finished” for his contemporaries. 159 However, if contemplative life developed out of a process of “new self-discovery,” proceeded with real discipline, and was at the same time theologically sound, the contemplative life could be renewed for all people.

Portland Head light is probably the most famous US lighthouse. Informally is known as Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse as it sits at the tip of Cape Elizabeth right at the entry of Casco bay. It is 25 meters tall and its light can be seen from roughly 24 nautical miles away. George Washington himself gave the order to build the lighthouse in 1787 and it's interesting that the directions he gave to the constructors specifically clarified that due to shortage of money they should build it as cheap as possible. The Lighthouse is now part of the Fort Williams Park and it's arguably Portland's most visited landmark.

Εχει υψος 25 μετρα και το φως του ειναι ορατο απο αποσταση 24 ναυτικων μιλιων. Ο ιδιος ο George Washington εδωσε την εντολη για την κατασκευη του φαρου το 1787 και το ενδιαφερον στοιχειο ειναι πως ζητησε απο τους κατασκευαστες να χρησιμοποιησουν οσο φτηνοτερα υλικα μπορουσαν να βρουν λογω ελλειψης χρηματων. Ο φαρος πλεον ανηκει στο πάρκο του Fort Williams και λογικα ειναι το πιο τουριστικο αξιοθεατο του Portland.

In a pitch-black hall of mirrors (ISO 25600), artist Julian Charrière presents the

 

Panchronic Garden -

 

specially developed for the museum, a seemingly endless greenhouse full of plants, living ferns that glow jet black when bathed in infrared light. This installation evokes the history of coal mining in North Rhine-Westphalia and the huge primeval forests of the Carboniferous that grew there 300 million years ago.

 

Charrière clarifies also with this

which unimaginably long periods of time the earth's history is in comparison with human scales.

 

Why the artist is concerned ...

 

The title of his exhibition is "Controlled Burn"

The basic material of coal is mainly of plant origin.

 

Typical coal formation takes its beginning in extensive swamp forests of lowlands. The trees and ferns bind carbon dioxide, CO2 from the air by means of photosynthesis and convert it into the carbohydrate cellulose and other organic compounds.

 

After individual trees die, they sink into the swamp and are thus removed from the normal aerobic decomposition process - peat is initially formed.

 

Coal is formed from the peat when subsidence occurs over geological periods of time, i.e. many tens of millions of years, and overburden.

 

In this process, with increasing depth of subsidence, both the ambient pressure and the ambient temperature rise to well above 1000°. This causes the so-called incarburization of the peaty sediments.

 

Initially, lignite is formed. As the depth of injection increases, the coalification process intensifies. Lignite becomes hard coal and finally anthracite. For this reason, the quality of coal is often better the deeper it lies in the earth and the older it is.

 

Similar processes occur in the formation of oil and gas. The artist wants to make clear to us the time span of our waste and the corresponding climate and earth damage in proportion to the formation time of the fossil energy sources ...

  

Betreten auf eigen Gefahr ...

 

In einem stockfinsteren Spiegelsaal (ISO 25600) stellt der Künstler Julian Charrière den eigens für das Museum entwickelte

 

Panchronischen Garten

 

vor – ein scheinbar endloses Gewächshaus voller Pflanzen, lebendige Farne, die in Infrarotlicht getaucht, tiefschwarz leuchten. Diese Installation erinnert an die Geschichte des Kohleabbaus in Nordrhein-Westfalen und an die

riesigen Urwälder des Karbons, die dort vor 300 Millionen Jahren wuchsen.

 

Charrière verdeutlicht auch mit diesem

Werk, welche unvorstellbar langen Zeiträume die Erdge-

schichte im Vergleich zu menschlichen Massstäben

kennzeichnen.

 

Sein Ausstellungstitel - Controlled Burn ...

Das Ausgangsmaterial von Kohle ist hauptsächlich pflanzlichen Ursprungs.

 

Typische Kohlebildung nimmt ihren Anfang in ausgedehnten Sumpfwäldern von Tiefebenen. Die Bäume und Farne binden mittels Photosynthese Kohlendioxid, CO2 aus der Luft und wandeln es in das Kohlenhydrat Zellulose und andere organische Verbindungen um.

 

Nach dem Absterben einzelner Bäume versinken diese im Sumpf und werden so dem normalen aeroben Zersetzungsprozess entzogen – es entsteht zunächst Torf.

 

Aus dem Torf entsteht Kohle, wenn es zu Absenkung über geologische Zeiträume hinweg, also viele dutzend Millionen Jahre kommt und zu Überdeckungen.

 

Dabei steigen mit zunehmender Versenkungstiefe sowohl der Umgebungsdruck als auch die Umgebungstemperatur bis weit über 1000°. Dies verursacht die sogenannte Inkohlung der torfigen Sedimente.

 

Dabei entsteht zunächst Braunkohle. Mit zunehmender Versenkung intensiviert sich die Inkohlung. Aus Braunkohle wird Steinkohle und schließlich Anthrazit. Deshalb ist die Qualität von Kohle oft umso besser, je tiefer sie in der Erde liegt und je älter sie ist.

 

Ähnliche Prozesse laufen bei der Entstehung von Öl und Gas ab. Der Künstler möchte uns die Zeitspanne unserer Verschwendung und der entsprechenden Klima- und Erdschädigung in der Proportion zur Entstehungszeit der fossilen Energieträger verdeutlichen ...

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.

The door level is actually a mystery that I hurry to clarify. The picture was taken from the inner side of the house. There are some small size pillars that must have been used to support a flooring at the door level. This can be seen on the following picture:

Located in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin), around 50 million light-years from Earth, the galaxy NGC 4535 is truly a stunning sight to behold. Despite the incredible quality of this image, taken from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, NGC 4535 has a hazy, somewhat ghostly, appearance when viewed from a smaller telescope. This led amateur astronomer Leland S. Copeland to nickname NGC 4535 the “Lost Galaxy” in the 1950s.

 

The bright colors in this image aren’t just beautiful to look at, as they actually tell us about the population of stars within this barred spiral galaxy. The bright blue-ish colors, seen nestled amongst NGC 4535’s long, spiral arms, indicate the presence of a greater number of younger and hotter stars. In contrast, the yellower tones of this galaxy’s bulge suggest that this central area is home to stars which are older and cooler.

 

This galaxy was studied as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) survey, which aims to clarify many of the links between cold gas clouds, star formation, and the overall shape and other properties of galaxies. On January 11, 2021 the first release of the PHANGS-HST Collection was made publicly available.
