Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern's or St Mungo's Cathedral, is today a congregation of the Church of Scotland in Glasgow. The title cathedral is honorific and historic. The congregation is part of the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow. Glasgow Cathedral is located north of High Street and east of Cathedral Street, beside the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The history of the cathedral is linked with that of the city, and is allegedly located where the patron saint of Glasgow, Saint Mungo, built his church. The tomb of the saint is in the lower crypt. Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy, (1817 chapter XX) gives a brilliant account of the kirk. Built before the Reformation and serving as the seat of the Bishop and later the Archbishop of Glasgow, the building is a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches (and the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland) to have survived the Reformation unroofed. The rood screen is also a very rare survivor in Scottish churches. The building itself is in the ownership of the Crown, is maintained by Historic Scotland and is also a popular destination for tourists. (Wikipedia)

French explorer Smauel de Champlain named Cape D’Or (Cape of Gold) when he sailed by here in 1607. Originally established as a fog horn station in 1875, the Cape d'Or lightstation is perched halfway up the dramatic cliffs rising out of the turbulent Minas Channel. The cape received its first lighthouse in 1922.
The present lighthouse, is a one-story fog signal building with a light tower rising from one corner, it was built in 1965. After automation in 1989, the two keeper’s dwellings, completed in 1959, sat vacant until being leased by the Advocate District Development Association in 1995 and converted into a tearoom and hostel.
This is the only lighthouse in Nova Scotia to offer overnight accommodations.

comments and critique very welcome on opinions of this the Tokina...11-16mm SD F2.8(IF)DX AT-X PRO Lens
NOTE: The comments that follow will be added to all of the photos from this 12/26/2014 excursion to Liberty State Park, for everything you see is connected to the overall message in one way or another.
Having done a very early morning start at Liberty State Park on Christmas day of 2013, while thoroughly enjoying the awe inspiring experience along the waterfront walkway with one of the world’s greatest urban landscapes (and waterscape) in and around the New York Harbor, I decided to do the same again this year; however, given some prior obligations, it was the day after Christmas, instead. Like the previous year, nary a soul besides me was out before sunrise, and it was not until about an hour after the sun first appeared that a group of visitors emerged. So, I basically had the entire waterfront park to myself for a pretty good stretch of time.
If you have never been there, it really is a sight to behold when one can see the majesty of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island with its unique place in American history, and the recently completed Freedom Tower, standing above all as the new proud symbol of what every person aspires to possess . . . FREEDOM. It took my wife and me quite a few years after the infamous, heart wrenching event of the fallen Twin Towers, simply known as “9-11.” If you go to our FLICKR albums, you will see the mid to latter construction stage of the Freedom Tower in photos under New York Skylines or the Meadowlands landscapes and such.
Initially, we both felt that nothing could ever replace or exude the same powerful presence as the original Twin Towers, and felt disappointment in the design of the Freedom Tower as it began to evolve from ground up, but when it reached its latter stages and the way the natural light over the course of any given day would play a significant role in its image, an overwhelming sense of admiration for the concept began to grow, and when finally completed, it all seemed to be a perfect visual symbol to the new landscape of New York Harbor. As we used to feel driving to the City or passing by from the New Jersey side, a similar kind of pride is felt with this new, great landmark that has made such a significant impact on the psyche of our citizens.
Many of you have likely stopped reading this long narrative, but you can probably surmise that aforementioned pride in these comments. Having personally seen the falling of the Twin Towers from work three miles away on that horrific weekday morning with all the confused and maddening reports being broadcasted on the radio and television news, it becomes an experience that is, indelibly, forever etched in my mind . . . So, that day is always present whenever I look toward the southern anchor of the Manhattan skyline, and I absolutely love how the Freedom Tower has not replaced, but serves as a natural extension of the Twin Towers and honors those who have lost their lives, accordingly.
Looking farther north offers the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, the two iconic skyscrapers that ruled the architectural world of construction beyond imagination in the early 1930’s. And the Goldman-Sachs Tower of Jersey City, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River, can hold its own amongst the giants of the NY Harbor landmarks. The captivating style of this particular modern design somehow compliments the glorious Manhattan skyline—practically blending in as part of a grand visual sweep from one side of the harbor to the other. And furthermore, the famous Brooklyn Bridge can be seen in the distance between the southern end of Manhattan and the borough of Brooklyn, and to the far south, the Verrazano Bridge dominates the entry way to the great harbor that saw thousands upon thousands of aspiring immigrants who traveled the vast Atlantic Ocean, ultimately arriving in America, while taking their first step on our soil at Ellis Island, under the protective presence of Lady Liberty.
One historic reminder after another permeates the air, causing just about everyone to feel something truly special. Even if visitors know little of the history here, it is nearly impossible not to be awe struck.
In closing, the two extreme ends of the waterfront park, the northern point and the South Lawn, offer monuments that are so powerful and captivating. I am always taken by the Liberation Monument, which honors all of those who served our nation in the fight for freedom. If any of you ever have the chance to visit LSP, please do take some time to genuinely appreciate this statue from all angles, for it almost comes to life. The northern end of the park has the “New Jersey EMPTY SKY 9-11 Memorial,” which must be seen. A surge of emotions will flood through your body as you stand at the site and gaze across to the East where the Twins once stood.
Anyhow, I hope that this passage would serve as a motivating factor to visit Liberty State Park, if possible. Regardless of the degree of personal meaning this may have, it is still a landscape that is well worth the trip . . . Nothing like it in the world.

I went to see the one man show Buffy Revamped with my dear friend Simon. It was brilliant!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer remains one my my all-time favourite shows, and this was a hilarious take one it. I highly recommend going to see it if it's touring near you and you loved the TV show.
PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT.Thanks.
Greenwood Cottage, built by John and Sarah Cumminger in 1871, is a show place of the Village. The style of the cottage reflects John and Sarah's social position and means.
Sherbrooke Village depicts a typical Nova Scotian village from 1860 to pre-WW1. With approximately 80 buildings, over 25 of those open to the public, it is the largest Nova Scotia Museum site. Visit the woodturner shop, blacksmith, pottery shop, and printery. Built on an economy of ship building, lumbering and gold mining, Sherbrooke Village reflects Nova Scotia as it was during its industrial boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Visit a place where time has stood still... visit Sherbrooke Village!

Wow, there were so many amazing outfits on show! Not me though - my black lace dress is a little bit goth but that's as close as I got!
With Michelle, Jen and Rachel in the Cosmo. This was a 'forgot to put the bins out' pose but Rachel missed it, and Jen looks like she's about to bite me! Ha ha!

Principles of photography, sex, time of light to know
"Lighting"
Without light, photography is impossible.
Do not care to use the film or digital system! However, this light that creates the image. But lights are not equal, in some hours, the light is more brilliant. Although this issue has little importance, because the lack of light can be increased during the exposure and the use of more open aperture to compensate. However, the quality of light in a picture effectively contributed to success.
"Light variable"
The effect of how the sun affects a scene, depends on many different factors.
Mtghyyrand so these factors, which may never unable, as a photo taken today, you are back to interact. Position the Sun in the sky not only change with time, but other factors such as season and location changes. All of these factors on the color, angle and brightness of light affect the amount of change and equally light Rvymvzv that is effective, the impact of Shadows mode.
Certain weather conditions also affect the light conditions and at any moment there are some changes. For example, clouds are not only front the sun, but as filters and player, the quality of light and thus alter the status light images per seconds may change.
Also used the human brain, objects according to their mentality and sees not imagine actually. Of course, sometimes we are following different lighting conditions Breymann (for example, when the sun, its golden rays from the surface to remove a landscape) However Khdr often do not see much difference.
The fact that natural lighting in terms of quality, continuous and varies in intensity of this change Mode Ynmaysh of everything is change. Photographer should see good practice so that before pressing the shutter button (Msdvdknndh) May to determine what the lighting conditions, photos will be better.
From sunrise to sunset
All these photos in a day of spring has been a similar angle.
The pictures show how light can change, and in some circumstances, there will a better image.
The first photo of the photo collection, just before sunrise about 6:45 that morning and the last photo taken of the sunset, about 8:30 PM is taken. These photos of the different time intervals during the day have been, change the amount of light to show the accuracy.
We're back at the Monaco Ballroom on Friday December 12th for the final show of 2008!! Make sure you make it to see how the year's feuds end at this season ending super show - GPW: "Christmas Crunch"
We promise we wont crunch your credit.... we'll only crunch your Christmas!!
GPW Heavyweight Title Match
Bubblegum © vs. Dirk Feelgood
Just a few months ago you'd be forgiven for taking a double take at this match. The friendship between the two former friends totally imploded with the desire to become Heavyweight champion. Refusing to accept the demise of his friendship with Dirk Feelgood, Bubblegum spent months in turmoil not wanting to retaliate to the cutting comments and brutal attacks levelled his way by former friend and champion Feelgood. As time went by however, Bubblegum eventually unloaded on Feelgood but this will be the first time the two have ever come face to face in a one on one match. And to make things just a little more interesting... it's for the GPW Heavyweight Title. Can the fairytale championship reign continue for Bubblegum, or can Dirk shatter his dreams and become the first ever 2 time Heavyweight Champ?
Tag Team Special, Skeletor vs. Stella
Lethal Dose vs. Voodoo & "Sober" Mike Holmes
Alan Alan Alan Tasker's henchmen, Lethal Dose march into battle against former stable member Mike Holmes and the man they hold responsible for Holmes' new found sobriety - Voodoo. Cyanide and Toxic hope to tempt Holmes back over to the stable that two months ago he turned his back on. They want to snap him out of the spell they accuse Voodoo of putting him under. However, Holmes seems very happy with his new outlook on life and he and Voodoo look to send Lethal Dose packing in this tag team special. Lethal Dose have warned they will not be coming to the ring alone though, with them along with their attorney and law - Alan Alan Alan Tasker will be a 12 pack of Stella. Hoping the case of beer will prove to be a bigger demon to Holmes than the tag team itself. To fend off the 12 pack, Holmes and Voodoo will have Vooodoo's trusty skull, Skeletor in their corner. An unpredictable tag team match. Can MIke Holmes stay sober? Will Voodoo's spells work? Or will Lethal Dose deliver a beating big enough to break Voodoo's spell?
GPW British Title Match
Jak Dominotrescu vs. "Super" Sam Bailey
After pinning the British Champion last month in a tag team match, WKD's "Super" Sam Bailey has earned himself a title shot at GPW: "Christmas Crunch". Bailey, already a former tag team champion looks to add to his growing reputation by capturing his first ever singles gold in GPW. While reigning champion, Romanian Jak Domitrescu along with his cohorts - The Eastern Bloc look to make life as difficult as possible for the energetic live wire. Domitrescu has held onto the title since April this year with help from his fellow countrymen, but are his days numbered as champ? He surely wont be alone in this title outing and will have the Eastern Bloc close by, but can "Super" Sam Bailey overcome the odds to win his first singles gold in GPW?
And, the main event for the evening is...
GPW Tag Team Title 2/3 Falls Match
MIl-Anfield Connection © vs. Young Offenders
The heat just got turned up in this feud. The re-united Young Offenders have the most established tag team in GPW - The Mil-Anfield Connection firmly in their sights and not to mention the tag team trophy. These two teams met in September this year where there was no clear winner decided after the match ended in a draw. There will be NO excuses this time to not find a winner. This, for the first time in our history will be a 2/3 Falls Match for the tag team titles. A winner HAS to be decided, but who will it be? A truley epic encounter is in our midst as Jiggy Walker & "The Model" Danny Hope try to cling onto the championship that has defined them as a team and "Dangerous" Damon Leigh & Joey Hayes, The Young Offenders chase the title that one of the most popular tag teams in Europe have never held. Can the re-united friends overcome the well established unit that is The Mil-Anfield Connection? Or can the well oiled duo of the Mil-Anfield do what they've been doing all year and win again?
GPW British Title No.1 Contenders Match
Harry Doogle vs. Juice vs. Dylan Roberts vs. Chris Echo
After an eye catchingly good year from rookie Dylan Roberts, he has been included in this battle to earn a shot at the British Title. With a burning desire to win and the fans firmly behind him, Roberts could well mark his arrival onto the main roster by becoming the No.1 Contender and going for gold here. However, his opponents wont give him an easy ride. In a wonderful CC-08 tournament, no one impressed more than WKD's Chris Echo. Echo reached the CC-08 finals with two broken wrists and proved he is ready to take a step up. His previous attempts for British gold have been thwarted by the foreign legion numbers of the Eastern Bloc, is he ready to prove again that he is worthy of being No.1 Contender and finally lift the British title? Juice, the current CC8 champion has been as impressive as ever in singles competition this year, but can he compete in this match with 3 others all vying to be No.1 Contender? Also replacing Jervis Cottonbelly due to injury is Harry Doogle as a last minute entry could one half of the next gen score the upset win? , but with so many possible outcomes who will leave with the plaudits and go on to challenge for the British Title next year?
Lumberjack Match
Si Valour vs. Heresy
A violent and personal feud that has lasted all year long finally comes to a head in what promises to be a violent Lumberjack Match. Ever since brutalising Valour and cutting off all his hair, Heresy has, in some form or other dodged the challenge of Valour. Heresy claimed not to have lost his bottle or be running scared of the 2007 Break Out Star, yet during their Bull Rope clash at GPW: "V" where the two were tied to one another, Heresy still managed to find a way of escaping and creating distance between him and Valour. This time, in a special Lumberjack Match, no matter where either man go - there will be no escape. All lumberjacks will be at the ready to ensure neither man can escape the others clutches and a clear winner, one way or the other will HAVE to be decided. There will be nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide, no matter where they look. Heresy has been one step ahead of Valour all year, is this where he runs out of excuses, or can the master manipulator manipulate another win?

We had an awesome weekend in Nottingham.
Friday night we met some friends and went to the Barrel Drop - a lovely micropub we've been to lots before. We even unexpectedly bumped into a load of Gemma's friends outside who were on their own pub crawl.
We also met our wonderful friend Sarah in the Barrel Drop, as well as others.
Saturday night was our main reason for being in Nottingham - we went to see the amazing, incredible Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert at the Royal Concert Hall. What a brilliant show! We met a lovely Mum and Daughter Marie and Charley waiting to go in too.
Sunday photos are of my walk back to the van, past the castle.

Gemma came up to Hull for Hallowe'en weekend and we had a fantastic time!
Friday night we went to Cognac for divine French food then on to the Star where we had a great time! We got chatting to a couple of beautiful girls in costume - Charlotte and Sharon - and a random gay couple bought us a bottle of Prosecco becvause they thought we were awesome! How lovely is that? I mean, I don't drink so of course I couldn't have any but the gesture was just lovely.
A panorama of bedroom selfies before going out - a variety of poses here!
365_ 362 Ljubljana, Mestni trg (town square). Another easy-way-out-shot. Framing is a bit ...... but with Joby I can only do as much. The bright burned out white on the left is part of some kind of performance. There's a lot going on in Ljubljana at this time of the year. I regret not having time to shoot the stalls as well. Anyhow. There are music performances, art performances (I watched a puppet show one day) and of course the lights :-)) yes, the Christmas lights overload. Elli, I took you seriously :-)))
Cal and Zul when commenting on my Rüppell's Griffon Vulture image raised the issue of a possible decline in vulture numbers in the Mara. Sadly recent research has suggested that the Mara vulture population has declined by 60% (Research undertaken by the Peregrine Fund). Unlike the Asian Vulture crisis precipitated by diclofenac-induced visceral gout the Mara vultures are being poisoned through the ingestion of meat intentionally poisoned with Furadan. Pastoralists who lose cattle & goats to predators poison the remnants of the carcase with Furadan in an attempt to kill the culprit but a large carcase laced with the pesticide can kill up to 150 vultures!
Furadan is banned in Europe and Canada whilst in the USA the EPA has effectively banned its use on all crops intended for human consumption. Furadan is manufactured by the American FMC Corporation and it is widely and cheaply available in Kenya.
Furadan is an FMC brand name for Carbofuran -a pesticide well-known in the UK for its illegal use in killing birds of prey!
Follow these links to see how Furadan is being used to kill lions and wild birds in Kenya -often the birds are for human consumption (it is easy to get angry at the "hunters" who use carbofuran but most are ignorant of the true toxicity of this substance; we need to direct our anger at the manufacturer and the politicians/officials who allow this to happen!):
