Kayangan lake is the cleanest fresh water lake in the Philippines.
Look at me.
Can you tell,
By the way I move and do my hair?
Do you think that it's me,
Or is it not me?
I don't even care.
I'm alive, I don't smell.
I'm the cleanest I have ever been.
...
My stomach hurts now,
And all tied off in lace.
I pray, beg, for anything to hit me in the face.
And this sickness isn't me.
I pray to fall from grace.
The last thing I see is feeling.
-The Used: "I'm A Fake"
So today was a longer version of yesterday. (or maybe it was shorter, really). I've slept about 36 of the last 48 hours...and it still leaves me feeling exhausted. A shower was the most eventful thing of my day.
I slept through going to get my little cousins birthday gift, and then I slept through his 3rd birthday party. I also missed the amazing 48 degree weather we're experiencing. I'm feeling slightly worn down in every possible way. Bottoming out is not fun...at all. But oh well...things will change eventually.
Maybe tomorrow...
(...and yes- I was clothed when I took this-tank top, you just can't see it because of how my arms are held lol. nothing controversial here :-p)
...edit...the more I look at this, the more I see the girl from The Ring...and that's kind of creepy lol

I love how these printed. This is the cleanest full color print I've recived from Luna Pacific Graphics.... thanks.
I was lucky this day. I was on my way to an off trail waterfall when I happened to pass through the cleanest forest I've seen in the Pacific Northwest. I didn't have time to properly photograph it so had to make a return trip to solely focus my time on this section. If you've ever spent time photographing in these forests, then you know firsthand how rare a find a forest this clean is.
This has to be the cleanest Soo Line hopper in regular revenue service these days. Soo 76593 has ZERO graffiti on it, and little to no signs of rust either. It was seen here rolling through New Brighton on The Humboldt Avenue Transfer, H42, on a very icy December morning. You can see Soo rib side hoppers on each side that are looking much worse off.

A disease called Trichomoniasis has caused greenfinch numbers to fall by a third.
We can help!!!!
We are all being advised to wash our bird feeders with soap and water, to help stop the spread of the disease....
MAKE SURE YOUR BIRD RESTAURANT IS THE CLEANEST IN TOWN.............Tom.
Best viewed large, press L.
Thank you for your visit, any comments are very appreciated.
Cleaned up using GIMP... not the cleanest job in the world, but I'd say most of the noise is gone, letting a few more of the details stand out. The rest of the photos in the stream, well... my crappy photography should tell that story.
UPDATE: Bricklink order came in... this overhaul is getting close to completed so look out for a completely updated version in the next few weeks (I build slow and work is kicking my ass lately).
I ventured out last night to try and spot the Aurora Borealis, as there was a chance it was going to put on a show. It didn't work out too well as the clouds started to roll off the land and I decided to abandon my trip. Before I left, and before the clouds had reached too far I took a few shots to try a panorama of the beach. The moon was too bright to try any Milky Way stuff, but it also lit up the beach quite nicely. Not the cleanest pano ever, but I kind of like how it's turned out...
Although the diamond at Tower 3 still sees frequent use a little under a half mile away, the tower itself does not. Luckily, the city of Flatonia was kind enough to preserve the old SP tower, and the nearly 120 year old building still enjoys the pleasure of watching trains pass here on the Sunset Route in central Texas.
Also of note, that leader is one of the cleanest P42's I've seen in a while.

This is not a re-post, just a different angle shot.
Named one of the cleanest beaches in the United States, Newport Beach is a paradise for beach-going visitors. With over 10 miles of beaches ideal for families, surfing, body boarding or just sunbathing, Newport is the ideal OC beach destination. Within our coastline find stellar views, waves and soft sands at Corona del Mar State Beach, Crystal Cove State Beach and Park, or in Newport Beach itself, along Balboa Peninsula or further north along Pacific Coast Highway. And if hiking trails and bird watching are part of your vacation plans, look no further than Newport's Upper Newport Bay ecological preserve and reserve and Crystal Cove State Park, with its picturesque Los Trancos and El Moro Canyons are coastal hiking trails that will not disappoint.

Last weekend I had to go to Toronto for one of my best friend's wedding. Seeing the price of the ticket I paid, I had to make this trip worthwhile. Therefore I decided to stay in Canada for a week and travel to some of the major cities to paintpaintpaint.
I started off in Toronto.
Before I left I contacted Chuck as we had already chatted before and I knew he'd be the perfect person to take me around. This guys is probably one of the cleanest writers I've seen, his lines are perfectly straight, even and crisp ... totaly blew me away. Mad skills ... and I'm a big fan of his stlye: long elegant letters that work perfectly alone and connected.
Unfortunently I only had a day to hang around with him before I moved on but we tried to make the best of it. Toronto looks like a dope city to write. Probably way too cold for me in the winter (that lasts about 10month) but perfect place for the moment. Peices and productions adorn the sides of buildings in the downtown area almost everywhere. This comes as a shock as I'm not used to seeing soo many peices in the streets. After droping my bags we walked through a bunch of streets to this spot he knew of.
Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm 1.2
Aperture was wide open.
This photograph taken on Christopher Street in the West Village of Manhattan. This is the only old-fashioned lamppost on the north side of Christopher Park immediately opposite the Stonewall Inn (made famous by the Stonewall riots of 1969). In the foreground is what I think might be called the torus and the scotia of the lamppost. The coloured bokeh in the background are a combination of traffic lights, car tail lights, and a lighted sign for a bar on the corner of Christopher Street, 7th Avenue and West 4th Street (yes, that's three streets all intersecting - hence Christopher Park is a slender pie shape).
This shot would have turned out much better if I had used a tripod. Holding the camera, I had to turn the ISO up to 500 at which point I feel I already see some degradation. And, of course, because the aperture is wide open and the foreground subject is several inches deep, only a thin slice of the subject is sharply in focus. Between the fuzzy focus and the digital noise, it's not the cleanest photo.
I cannot explain why the bokeh features the "spirograph" lines. Perhaps those bokeh came from lights on cars that were moving. I cannot explain it.

The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. It's all part of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km. The lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
A vertoramic view over the alpine mountains of the Konigssee in the county of Berchtesgaden - Germany. Photo taken from the Jenner mountain top at the height of 1,870 meters where the beauty of the Berchtesgaden valley and Königssee can be viewed. An overwhelming bird's eye view is just reserved to this single paraglider. Enjoying his or her airy cocpit view above green meadows, past cliffy rocks and lake Königssee with all of its magnificence.
De Königssee is een meer in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk. Het is het diepste meer van Duitsland, met een maximale diepte van 190 m. De Königssee is 7,7 km lang. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar en ligt schilderachtig op een schiereiland omgeven door de Watzmann Ostwand. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. De beroemde oostwand van de Watzmann, die met zijn 1800m - vertikaal de hoogste rotswand van de Alpen is. De wand is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Het water van de Königssee is het schoonste meer van Duitsland en voldoet aan de kwaliteiten van drinkwater. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste meer van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
The prospect of pleasant unbroken sun all day saw me head to Ipswich once again to have another bash at this location before the foreground veg becomes too high soon. This is the cleanest I have seen this loco since it had the Ukrainian flag painted on the side.
I only made three trips to LTV during our brief time in the Twin Cities. I remember being bummed about this consist, having traveled all this way to shoot F units. Looking back, four GP38s and a GP20 on an ore train isn't too shabby, and the cleanest one is leading the charge.

Once again I returned to U.S. Auctions, a private auction company, to see what Refuse Trucks will be auctioned off. I knew several ASL’s and a mini Amrep MSL, would be at the auction. I was looking forward to seeing a mini Amrep MSL, which looked great and was in good shape. This auction was pure ESD trucks, (12) 2007 Amrep ASL’s and (1) mini Amrep Octo MSL. Unfortunately the ESD ASL’s were not in great shape, and all of them sold for under $6,500 each. As you can see in the pictures and video, the trucks are covered in rust (including the inside of the hopper) and some had missing arms. What surprised me was that some of the trucks were completely full of Green Waste and others had bags of trash in the body and dangling from the arm. I believe these trucks would be in better condition if they were washed down regularly like Waste Management of El Cajon, who has some of the cleanest trucks, some of which are almost twice as old as these ESD trucks.
I had a great time at the auction, thank you U.S. Auctions!
This was the Moon about 30mins ago. The sky was clear and still fairly blue, so I could not resist taking this picture. I think the air at the moment is probably the cleanest we have known for many years.
EF30140 is certainly the cleanest example of those EFs still running in obsolete liveries and EF 30007 (Old Reliable) is the class leader.

Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km. The lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Swimming is allowed but no fishing. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
Photo of Salet Moraine surrounded by the highest Rocks the most beautiful smaragd coloured Königssee situated midst of the most beautiful mountain area of the Alps - Germany. It's the cleanest lake in Germany. The Königssee-Fleet invites you to a very extraordinary adventure, which you will never forget.
Salet Moraine is Alpenhuis gelegen aan het einde van de Königssee. De natuur is beschermd en achter de bomen ligt de kleinere Obersee. Nee, deze plek is niet te koop. De Königssee is een meer in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk. Het is het diepste meer van Duitsland, met een maximale diepte van 190 m. De Königssee is 7,7 km lang. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar en ligt schilderachtig op een schiereiland omgeven door de Watzmann Ostwand. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. De beroemde oostwand van de Watzmann, die met zijn 1800m - vertikaal de hoogste rotswand van de Alpen is. De wand is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Het water van de Königssee is het schoonste meer van Duitsland en voldoet aan de kwaliteiten van drinkwater. Er mag niet worden gevist maar wel worden gezwommen. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste meer van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
Oxford Bus Company's Oxford-based "Park & Ride" branded Wright StreetDeck 669 (SK66 HUJ) is pictured here at Heysham Docks, whilst awaiting delivery to the company. 24/12/16
A new £4.5m fleet of purple park-and-ride buses will roll out across Oxford next month to prepare for the reopening of the £440m Westgate Centre.
Oxford Bus Company is investing in the new fleet of 20 buses to encourage more people to use park-and-ride in the run-up to the shopping centre reopening. It is estimated that the number of shopping trips could increase from five million to 16 million a year and the investment is designed to help cut congestion by encouraging more shoppers to choose park-and-ride.
The new buses were unveiled at a launch at the Bodleian Library’s Divinity School earlier this week.
Manufactured by Wrightbus in Northern Ireland, the buses will have some seating featuring tables, on-screen information including next-stop announcements, USB charging points, and Euro 6 micro-hybrid engines with the cleanest vehicle emissions standards.

In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. It named for Saint Bartholomew the Apostle Bartholomäus in German. A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 from 1697 onwards it has been rebuilt in a Baroque style with a floor plan modelled on Salzburg Cathedral, two onion domes and a red domed roof. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
A bird's eye view of St. Bartholomä next to the Konigssee in the county of Berchtesgaden - Germany. You can see three electric boats.

De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä met zijn rode koepeldaken, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar. Wanneer de stuurman tijdens de overtocht op zijn trompet blaast, klinkt de wereldberoemde echo van de Königssee, de melodie wordt enkele seconden herhaald – verder heerst hier een heerlijke rust. De rode koepeldaken en uivormige torenkoepels sieren de buitenkant, het interieur van de barokke kerk is een weerspiegeling van de Salzburger Dom. Als in een prentenboek ligt de bedevaartkerk voor het bergpanorama van de Watzmann op een landtong in de smaragdgroene Königssee. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen.

This is not the "cleanest" image of a Pileated Woodpecker I have ever taken. This is from last year, my first encounter with one of these guys. As he was flying from one tree to another, I was able to lock focus and continue to track even though he went through a lot of foliage en route...
When I looked at the pics back on my laptop, I was pleasantly surprised to see how I was able to keep the focus even through those foliage around!!!... And because I was on full manual settings, the resultant image is under-exposed as per the meter.. but I kinda liked the effect it created.. I further reduced the blacks and shadows to accentuate the effect..
Hope you all enjoy it!!!
