This has to be one of the best looking Boeing 737 special schemes so far unveiled by Seattle based carrier Alaska Airlines recently. Named "UNCF Our Commitment" is seen here landing from Sacramento in some fantastic light with Mt Rainer.
Was very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph this amazing looking scheme this weekend. On this side it features a quote from the great Martin Luther King Jr, "The Time is Always Right to do What is Right." On the first officer side it features a quote from Nelson Mandela.

A residential pool is a commitment to maintain for life. Water is heavy and expensive to filter daily. The only alternative is to remove the entire pool. How much do you think that would cost?
Stanage Edge is a Millstone Grit outcrop in the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park, between Sheffield and the Hope Valley. This is where I first started rock climbing in the early 1970’s. After initially being scared pooless, I became totally addicted to the sport and continued until the latter half of the 1980’s, when family and work commitments began to slow me down a bit! These paoramics were taken with my old DJI Phantom IV Pro, in 2018 and I still enjoy getting out there and watching younger folk giving it their best and it is satisfying to think (or, occasionally, even say) “I climbed that before you were born LOL!
TOMORROW, FATHERS'DAY...

In many countries, it was last Sunday in Belgium.
I wish all the daddies a good day. Hope you can see them, hug them and get hugged.
Girls are known to be daddy's girls.
However to boys they can very much be the model in their lives.
FATHERS, don't underestimate your importance and impact.
It is never easy being a parent!
Each child is an individual... does not come with an instruction manual! LOL
A lifelong commitment, that's being a parent, to care about smaller and bigger things, the being there, we have a duty, the morals that we teach them... that's what will (ideally?) shape them, let's not underestimate the impact we have on our nearest and dearest.
The 'father' figure is often one of strength and discipline, never forget that bit of tenderness, so needed in all our lives.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

I dedicate this image to Jay Daley for his effort and commitment on arriving on location at 7am, befriending a security guard (that looked like Pauly from Rockie) and then managed to get a special area roped off exclusively for us!
Great night out with the focus group with plenty of laughs and not a lot of drinking which makes for a great news years day.
Domestic commitments - including dealing with the aftermath of a rather spectacular boiler failure at home the previous Thursday evening - prevented me from capturing any of the last day of Go Goodwins' Little Gem operation on TfGM contracted services on Saturday 22/04/2023. So, this snatched shot, on the way into work on the morning of the previous Thursday, turned out to be my last photo encounter.

After a few weeks completely offline from Flickr due to lots of work & family commitments I am back. I have missed so many wonderful pictures from my Flickr friends so I promise to try to catch up and have a look at them all. Normality resumes so back to my normal routines and looking forward to seeing all the new images from my friends. :)
Still processing some older pics from 2017 I never got round to so hope you all like this wonderful Waterbuck from Kwandwe.
Waterbuck live in wide, separated ranges that are shared by many females and territorial and nonterritorial males. The size of a waterbuck's home range depends on the quality of the habitat, population, and the age and fitness of the waterbuck. Waterbuck that are in good health and are younger have the largest ranges. The home ranges of females may overlap, resulting in small herds that average 5 - 10 animals. Within these herds, there is no established rank order. Females, hovever, are most commonly found alone or in pairs, and it is believed that herds of waterbuck are random meetings of individual waterbucks. Horns begin to form on males at 8 - 9 months, which marks their separation from the females. These young males then form bachelor herds and remain in these until they mature.
The bachelor herds are composed of anywhere from 5 - 10 waterbuck. These are closed groups and the hierarchy is based on seniority. Upon maturation, the bulls become territorial. The activity of the waterbuck is affected by seasonal differences, habitat, grazing conditions, distance from water, and the number of predators in the area. When there is less water available and the conditions are dry, waterbuck need to rest more. While they have been found active at night, the waterbuck is more likely to be active in the daytime. Waterbuck are very water dependent. They eat a variety of grasses, both medium and short in length. Their diet is very rich in protein. When the amount of available grass is low, waterbuck eat other herbs to satisfy their needs.
Italia - Florencia - Catedral de Santa Maria del Fiore

ENGLISH
By the beginning of the 15th century, after a hundred years of construction, the structure was still missing its dome. The basic features of the dome had been designed by Arnolfo di Cambio in 1296. His brick model, 4.6 metres (15.1 feet) high, 9.2 metres (30.2 feet) long, was standing in a side aisle of the unfinished building, and had long been sacrosanct. It called for an octagonal dome higher and wider than any that had ever been built, with no external buttresses to keep it from spreading and falling under its own weight.
The commitment to reject traditional Gothic buttresses had been made when Neri di Fioravanti's model was chosen over a competing one by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini. That architectural choice, in 1367, was one of the first events of the Italian Renaissance, marking a break with the Medieval Gothic style and a return to the classic Mediterranean dome. Italian architects regarded Gothic flying buttresses as ugly makeshifts. Furthermore, the use of buttresses was forbidden in Florence, as the style was favored by central Italy's traditional enemies to the north. Neri's model depicted a massive inner dome, open at the top to admit light, like Rome's Pantheon, but enclosed in a thinner outer shell, partly supported by the inner dome, to keep out the weather. It was to stand on an unbuttressed octagonal drum. Neri's dome would need an internal defense against spreading (hoop stress), but none had yet been designed.
The building of such a masonry dome posed many technical problems. Brunelleschi looked to the great dome of the Pantheon in Rome for solutions. The dome of the Pantheon is a single shell of concrete, the formula for which had long since been forgotten. The Pantheon had employed structural centring to support the concrete dome while it cured. This could not be the solution in the case of a dome this size and would put the church out of use. For the height and breadth of the dome designed by Neri, starting 52 metres (171 ft) above the floor and spanning 44 metres (144 ft), there was not enough timber in Tuscany to build the scaffolding and forms. Brunelleschi chose to follow such design and employed a double shell, made of sandstone and marble. Brunelleschi would have to build the dome out of brick, due to its light weight compared to stone and being easier to form, and with nothing under it during construction. To illustrate his proposed structural plan, he constructed a wooden and brick model with the help of Donatello and Nanni di Banco, a model which is still displayed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. The model served as a guide for the craftsmen, but was intentionally incomplete, so as to ensure Brunelleschi's control over the construction.
Brunelleschi's solutions were ingenious, such as his use of the catenary arch for support. The spreading problem was solved by a set of four internal horizontal stone and iron chains, serving as barrel hoops, embedded within the inner dome: one at the top, one at the bottom, with the remaining two evenly spaced between them. A fifth chain, made of wood, was placed between the first and second of the stone chains. Since the dome was octagonal rather than round, a simple chain, squeezing the dome like a barrel hoop, would have put all its pressure on the eight corners of the dome. The chains needed to be rigid octagons, stiff enough to hold their shape, so as not to deform the dome as they held it together.
Each of Brunelleschi's stone chains was built like an octagonal railroad track with parallel rails and cross ties, all made of sandstone beams 43 centimetres (17 in) in diameter and no more than 2.3 metres (7.5 ft) long. The rails were connected end-to-end with lead-glazed iron splices. The cross ties and rails were notched together and then covered with the bricks and mortar of the inner dome. The cross ties of the bottom chain can be seen protruding from the drum at the base of the dome. The others are hidden. Each stone chain was supposed to be reinforced with a standard iron chain made of interlocking links, but a magnetic survey conducted in the 1970s failed to detect any evidence of iron chains, which if they exist are deeply embedded in the thick masonry walls. Brunelleschi also included vertical "ribs" set on the corners of the octagon, curving towards the center point. The ribs, 4 metres (13 ft) deep, are supported by 16 concealed ribs radiating from center. The ribs had slits to take beams that supported platforms, thus allowing the work to progress upward without the need for scaffolding.
A circular masonry dome can be built without supports, called centering, because each course of bricks is a horizontal arch that resists compression. In Florence, the octagonal inner dome was thick enough for an imaginary circle to be embedded in it at each level, a feature that would hold the dome up eventually, but could not hold the bricks in place while the mortar was still wet. Brunelleschi used a herringbone brick pattern to transfer the weight of the freshly laid bricks to the nearest vertical ribs of the non-circular dome.
The outer dome was not thick enough to contain embedded horizontal circles, being only 60 centimetres (2 ft) thick at the base and 30 centimetres (1 ft) thick at the top. To create such circles, Brunelleschi thickened the outer dome at the inside of its corners at nine different elevations, creating nine masonry rings, which can be observed today from the space between the two domes. To counteract hoop stress, the outer dome relies entirely on its attachment to the inner dome and has no embedded chains.
A modern understanding of physical laws and the mathematical tools for calculating stresses were centuries in the future. Brunelleschi, like all cathedral builders, had to rely on intuition and whatever he could learn from the large scale models he built. To lift 37,000 tons of material, including over 4 million bricks, he invented hoisting machines and lewissons for hoisting large stones. These specially designed machines and his structural innovations were Brunelleschi's chief contribution to architecture. Although he was executing an aesthetic plan made half a century earlier, it is his name, rather than Neri's, that is commonly associated with the dome.
Brunelleschi's ability to crown the dome with a lantern was questioned and he had to undergo another competition, even though there had been evidence that Brunelleschi had been working on a design for a lantern for the upper part of the dome. The evidence is shown in the curvature, which was made steeper than the original model.[30] He was declared the winner over his competitors Lorenzo Ghiberti and Antonio Ciaccheri. His design (now on display in the Museum Opera del Duomo) was for an octagonal lantern with eight radiating buttresses and eight high arched windows. Construction of the lantern was begun a few months before his death in 1446. Then, for 15 years, little progress was possible, due to alterations by several architects. The lantern was finally completed by Brunelleschi's friend Michelozzo in 1461. The conical roof was crowned with a gilt copper ball and cross, containing holy relics, by Verrocchio in 1469. This brings the total height of the dome and lantern to 114.5 metres (376 ft). This copper ball was struck by lightning on 17 July 1600 and fell down. It was replaced by an even larger one two years later.
The commission for this gilt copper ball [atop the lantern] went to the sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio, in whose workshop there was at this time a young apprentice named Leonardo da Vinci. Fascinated by Filippo's [Brunelleschi's] machines, which Verrocchio used to hoist the ball, Leonardo made a series of sketches of them and, as a result, is often given credit for their invention.
Leonardo might have also participated in the design of the bronze ball, as stated in the G manuscript of Paris "Remember the way we soldered the ball of Santa Maria del Fiore".
The decorations of the drum gallery by Baccio d'Agnolo were never finished after being disapproved by no one less than Michelangelo.
A huge statue of Brunelleschi now sits outside the Palazzo dei Canonici in the Piazza del Duomo, looking thoughtfully up towards his greatest achievement, the dome that would forever dominate the panorama of Florence. It is still the largest masonry dome in the world.
The building of the cathedral had started in 1296 with the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was completed in 1469 with the placing of Verrochio's copper ball atop the lantern. But the façade was still unfinished and would remain so until the 19th century.

La cúpula de Santa María del Fiore o cúpula de Santa María de la Flor, también conocida como cúpula de Brunelleschi o cúpula del Duomo de Florencia, constituye la cubierta del crucero de la catedral de Santa María del Fiore de Florencia. Fue la cúpula más grande del mundo tras la caída del imperio romano y se considera todavía la mayor jamás realizada en albañilería. Fue ideada, proyectada y construida por Filippo Brunelleschi, quien inició con esta obra el Renacimiento italiano y florentino en arquitectura. Está considerada como la construcción más importante edificada en Europa desde la época romana, debido a la relevancia fundamental que ha desempeñado para el desarrollo posterior de la arquitectura y de la concepción moderna de la construcción.
La cúpula tiene una forma apuntada y está formada por ocho caras o paños ojivales, cubiertos con teja de barro rojo y bordeados por ocho nervios de piedra blanca. Toda la estructura descansa sobre un tambor también octogonal, perforado por ocho óculos para la iluminación del interior. Los nervios convergen en un anillo octogonal superior, coronado por una linterna, elemento que también colabora en la entrada de luz. El interior está constituido por dos casquetes o domos, uno interior y otro exterior, construidos con ladrillo dispuesto en forma de espina de pez. Están conectados entre sí por medio de una retícula interior formada por costillas y nervaduras, que sostiene la cúpula y colabora en su estabilidad. El hueco que queda entre ambos casquetes forma un espacio por el que se asciende hasta la linterna. El exterior del tambor está revestido con mármoles polícromos y con una balaustrada incompleta que solo se construyó en una de sus caras. La cara interna de la cúpula está decorada con pinturas al fresco y al temple que representan el Juicio Final.
Las proporciones del conjunto son monumentales. La altura máxima de la cúpula es de 116.50 metros, el diámetro máximo del casquete interior es de 45.5 metros y el del exterior, de 54.8 metros. La base de las impostas se encuentra a 55 metros del suelo. El tambor, de 13 metros de altura y 43 de anchura, se sitúa a 54 metros del suelo. El casquete interior tiene un espesor en su base de 2.20 metros, que disminuye hasta los 2 metros en la cúspide, mientras que el casquete exterior tiene un espesor que pasa de un metro a 0.40 metros. El anillo superior de cierre de la cúpula se encuentra a 86.70 metros del suelo. La linterna tiene 6 metros de diámetro y 21 de altura. Los paños trapezoidales miden 17.50 metros de longitud y tienen una altura de 32.65 metros. El peso estimado total de la cúpula es de unas 30 000 toneladas y se calcula que se necesitaron para su construcción más de 4 millones de ladrillos.
Sus enormes dimensiones hicieron inviable el empleo de los métodos constructivos tradicionales mediante cimbras, lo cual ha favorecido la especulación de diversas teorías sobre la técnica constructiva empleada. Brunelleschi no dejó registro de ningún dibujo, maqueta o esbozo que indicara el procedimiento utilizado en la edificación de la cúpula.
Las obras de construcción de la cúpula tuvieron una duración de 16 años, desde 1420 hasta 1436. En 1446 se inició la construcción de la linterna, que fue terminada en 1461. El revestimiento exterior del tambor se ejecutó entre 1512 y 1515, y la decoración pictórica del interior de la cúpula se prolongó desde 1572 hasta 1579.

He is the one who makes me happy
When everything else turns to gray
He is also the one who makes me so angry
But makes up for it eventually ;)
He is my best friend, my soul mate, my hubby
Listening to this :)
A year ago I posted a sister image to this one. With that upload I made a commitment to myself to try to post an image every day with the intent to be as creative as possible. This decision was a result of another year gone by in which I felt that I hadn't given my creative side any attention. The day-to-day "stuff" took over: Kids, work, husband, house, etc.
The mantra 'if not now, when' kept getting louder in my head, and the louder it got, the stronger my conviction to make time for the part of me that I had ignored and always willing to compromise.
Half way through my little exercise I was fed up and couldn't wait for this experiment to end so that I could bid farewell to flickr and move forward and get some time back. Now at the end of this journey I can't imagine saying goodbye to flickr. More so, I can't say goodbye to all the contacts and friends here! I never thought that relationships and bonds would form here.
Thanks for all your support, visits, comments, feedback and inspiration. You're the reason I'm here.
About this image...so I thought about ending my unofficial 365 with a bang. Like me jumping off a roof or dangling from a helicopter. Instead I went back to image #1 of the project and played around with textures. Every time I looked at original I wanted to hit delete. Not happy with it, but I wouldn't dare get rid of the image that kicked it all off for me.
Wishing you all a great day! Cheers and Happy Textured Tuesday!
With the wind and rain this morning we moved the Focus North shoot up the road to Avalon. The balcony on the new surf club meant that we could get undercover, but you can't deny the commitment of some photographers who get out there no matter what.
And even when the conditions aren't great, theirs always breakfast to look forward to after the shoot.
Great catching up with everyone
Shot with my Fuji X100's using a Cokin soft filter.
This is my last picture for my weekly theme 'Commit' and my 365 group.
I'm commited to take a picture for each day of the year =)
No treatment, but not sooc, due a tiny crop.

My yearning to spend time in the guise of a woman is building within me just now. The reality is nearly two years have passed since I last cross-dressed and there is no real opportunity to do so this year. It will likely be 2017 before I become Helene, my female alter-ego once more. In the meantime I get by on the memories and looking at my photo archives and enjoy the anticipation that will slowly build over the next year for the next opportunity.
There were several reasons why I have not been able to cross-dress. Family and work commitments are always my priority over my own personal desires and the last two years have been enjoyable despite no cross-dressing so I’m not tortured, depressed or eaten up, quite the opposite. I did have a major health issue crop up in early autumn requiring major surgery. To be frank, everything else became of little consequence as my focus was on getting through it and recovering my health. The surgery is now over and my recuperation period will be many months but I gain improved health with each passing week. Such an encounter with one’s own mortality and a prolonged recovery period provides an opportunity in allowing time to think and helps clarify what is most precious to you in life.
I adore becoming a woman but I am aware it is a selfish indulgence on my part and my family do tolerate it but there is no direct involvement. This suits me as I could never appear as a woman in front of my wife, I simply could not bear to do that. My wife knows I am a transvestite and this is how I am able on occasion to shave my legs, chest and arms and pluck my eyebrows, its not a secret but it is compartmentalised. This is the main reason why I rarely cross-dress.
Another reason is I simply cannot bear to cross-dress as a woman unless I can go the whole way, body shaving, eyebrows plucked, full make-up, wig, female underwear clothing, shoes, nail varnish and perfume. If I am not in a position to do that I prefer not to cross-dress. I suppose I am an an 'all or nothing' transvestite. This is because I need to feel I’m a woman on an emotional level as I do have some transsexual aspects to me but not enough to embark upon transitioning full time. I still enjoy my male life despite desiring to swap gender now and again.
When I dress up as a woman I try to act convincingly as a female and I admit I do feel comfortable in the role and get a buzz out of being Helene. I find as Helene I become in my head an heterosexual woman and I don’t, or should I say I no longer, have issues with freeing that part of myself. I am actually very comfortable being her and I love being a woman.
I do have aspirations to try and live as a woman for a few days now and again and to forget I am a man. I would love such a experience and I am actually convinced one day it will actually happen. This picture, taken on 3 June 2014, captures me in that frame of mind; I had ceased being a man in my head and felt euphoric at being Helene the woman. The photograph I am posting means a lot to me as I felt rather complete as a person having accepted my female self alongside my male self and believe me, I really had become female within myself at the time this photo was taken.
It is an intense private experience yet one that always leaves me both happy and emotionally exhausted afterwards. As I remove my wig take off my female clothing and my feet experience the relief of kicking off my high heels then wash off my make-up I find a deep inner contentment that lingers for days and often many weeks. Those few hours of becoming a woman are always incredible and rewarding. I would like some female experience. One I dream of is getting made-up, wig styled and wearing a gorgeous dress and high heels and being taken out for dinner and treated as a lady. It would be daring and rather thrilling and prove to me I can switch gender and free every part of my male/female self.
I admit it, I’m happy in a dress, in make-up wearing high heels and love the idea men may desire desire me as a woman. Somehow such a project would vindicate I can pass myself off as a female. It takes a lot of effort and commitment to take on a female appearance so being found attractive by a man is quite a reward even if I have no desire to be intimate with a man. I simply dream of being a woman now and again and hope that she is convincing in appearance and feels real. The day this picture was taken I was very much settled into being Helene, the woman and felt poised in maybe taking her to a new level. That level can only be venturing out as her? To truly carry off the role though surely being the woman alongside man is the ultimate in trying to achieve convincing female appearance? Could I do it? The thought both excites me and terrifies me. Could I play the role completely and respond naturally as a woman despite being a man? The truth is I finally am aware I would love to one day try such a thing and see how I do. A future adventure to muse over! Being a transvestite can be a lot of fun and you get to wear lots of make-up (which I love to wear). I’m never happier than when I’m applying mascara to my lashes and my face is covered in foundation and I feel so happy as I paint on lipstick, I just feel good in make-up, it boosts my confidence and makes me feel good.
I do so much love being a transvestite...love it, love it love it!
What can I say?
It is what it is ...
A farewell...
Sadness...
Melancholy ...
Attachment ...
Solidarity ...
Commitment ...
Warmth ...
Closeness ...
Friendship ...
It is what it is ...

A rework of an older shot, i always loved the energy but wasn't a great fan of the noise levels, cleaned up a little bit in PS.
Let me start with the notion here:
“Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being” - Rumi
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.
Each of us has a purpose in life whether we're aware of what that purpose is or not. Once you begin to make clear decisions about discovering and understanding your mission and purpose and fulfilling that purpose, and then follow through on your decisions by taking appropriate and consistent action, your subconscious mind will start to “freak out”. Forms of fear, doubt and worry will arise to hold you back and keep you where you are, where there is "the known", the familiar, your comfort zone. This “freak out” is a mechanism of your subconscious mind to keep you “safe”; it's completely normal and par for the course, but these thoughts and beliefs do not serve you and your purpose or the world because they often keep you from moving forward.
If you are feeling any resistance to moving forward, your limiting beliefs are attempting to hold you back from stepping into the power and glory of Who you really are and what you're here to do. Until you can break free from these beliefs, you will be using much of your energy to counteract those beliefs and you'll never be completely open to allow Spirit to work through you. As a result, life and work will always take hard work to succeed. Yet, when we uncover and disarm these beliefs, the horizon opens up and the wind is at our back making the road ahead much easier.
