Three days of continuous snow. Most unusual for around these parts. Usually it would be raining by now.

"Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain-tops are within reach." - John Muir
-----
Well, I finally made it today! Today I was finally able to step foot on the Great Smoky Mountains, specifically Cades Cove. Up and on the road before the sun was thinking of waking, we we're able to enter the park at first light.
I'm told that this is normal and can cause a lot of lines to enter, but today, the colder weather seems to be keeping a lot of people away, for me however, this is still a nice break from the winter we've been having up in Ottawa and with the sun shining it was absolutely gorgeous.
I believe we're heading back to a different part of the park tomorrow with more water streams and such, looking forward to playing with my ND filter again.
Also, I was warned that there would be bears; I didn't see any... I'm not sure if this should disappoint me or comfort me? Maybe they were just stalking me and I didn't notice?
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Continuously moving between the reeds, hard to get a clear shoot. Finally perched on the clear for a moment. Fun to watch. At Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge.

Picked this up at a local garden center in the Spring and have been so happy with it. It has continuously bloomed all summer long and even as Fall approaches it's still in full bloom. It is a tropical shrub (zones 9a to 10b) so I'll be overwintering it indoors.

everything is continuous, everything is connected, everything is a circle, or a triangel, there is a balance, balance in continuation...

A day of continuous rain, grey skies and incredibly cold weather. Have we reverted to January?
In fact my whole day was rather luck lustre so a grey blank picture summed up the way I felt about the day.
Yup, that's the name of my Department and here are all my fellow colleagues.

The Anomaly is a continuous process of learning
The deep space anomaly represents a fundamental challenge to our understanding of the universe, a continuous process of learning, adapting, and responding to phenomena that defy conventional explanation. It serves as a constant, stark reminder of the inherent fragility of our perceived reality and the immeasurable, unknown forces that lie beyond the ordinary confines of human comprehension.
Navigating the intricate complexities of such an anomaly is not about conquering it, for its power and nature often exceed our capacity for domination. Instead, success hinges on a profound understanding of its characteristics, a deep respect for its immense power, and a commitment to constantly evolving our strategies to coexist with its unpredictable and profound influence. This necessitates a paradigm shift in our approach to exploration and discovery, moving beyond mere observation to a dynamic engagement with the unknown, fostering a mindset of continuous adaptation and intellectual humility in the face of truly alien forces.

NS D36 is usually what I see appearing on ATCS out of Gibson City in the afternoon and just after work. One such day the timing was right and I headed up to Goembel. I expected the usual short manifest that is D36, but instead, NS 935 showed up instead - a continuously-welded-rail train. A surprise to be sure, but a very, very welcome one! That's not one you see very often on the Bloomington District to say the least.
Meanwhile, a LHF Dash-9 led MOW train sat quiet in the siding, closer towards Goembel itself, lighting up the sidings signal red. Despite it having been a month ago this shot was taken, that train is still sitting there right now, minus the lone motor. Wack.

Naples is the third-largest city of Italy after Rome and Milan and one of the most densely populated cities in Europe. First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the 6th century BC, it was refounded as Neápolis. Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pizza was invented here but the restaurants in Naples have earned the most stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian city. People awarded the honorary citizenship of Naples are: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. When Maradona arrived in Naples, they won the Italian and European titles for the first time. Maradona’s photo was hung next to Jesus in half of the homes of Naples. Naples is a real raw working city, a place with fascinating art and viewpoints, spontaneous conversations and unexpected, pleasant attitude. Naples has an enormous wealth of cultural treasures. You will find two royal palaces, three castles and ancient ruins with some of the oldest frescoes of Christianity. The Duomo di Napoli is very impressive located in the middle of the historic centre. The Cathedral is the heart of Napoli. This cathedral, Gothic in design and completed in the 14th century and since then restored several times over, is the home to the crypt and the chapel. Also it is where the Festival of San Gennaro, the infamous blood liquefaction ceremony takes place three times a year. It always works, otherwise Naples with face some bad doings.
Naples Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral, the main church of Naples, southern Italy, and the seat of the Archbishop of Naples. It is widely known as the Cattedrale di San Gennaro. We attend mass in this beautiful cathedral and then spent a happy couple of hours walking round and enjoying the beauty, peace and tranquility of this wonderful place. In the interior of the main Cathedral of Naples, you can see numerous murals, mosaics, and chapel, different time of construction. In the center is the main altar, consisting of a block of white marble, decorated with bas-reliefs, on the front side, by an anonymous sculptor of the eighteenth century, depicts the resurrected Christ. The inner space of the Cathedral has the shape of a Latin cross, consists of a main hall, divided into three naves with lateral chapels. Three passes of the main hall are separated by a sequence of eight pillars on each side, which include Roman columns, which are based on pointed arches, decorated with stucco and marble. The ceiling of the main nave is decorated with gilt and five paintings of 17th century.
The Chapel of San Gennaro is a particular high point, which is incredibly ornate.
Napels is na Rome en Milaan de derde stad van Italië en een van de dichtstbevolkte steden van Europa. Napels, voor het eerst bewoond door Grieken in het tweede millennium voor Christus. Het historische stadscentrum van Napels is het grootste van Europa en staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Napels is een echte rauwe werkstad, een plek met fascinerende kunst en uitzichtpunten, spontane gesprekken en onverwachte, prettige instelling. De Duomo di Napoli is zeer indrukwekkend gelegen in het midden van het historische centrum. De kathedraal is het hart van Napels. Deze kathedraal, gotisch van ontwerp en voltooid in de 14e eeuw en sindsdien verschillende keren gerestaureerd, is de thuisbasis van de crypte en de kapel. Het is ook waar het Festival van San Gennaro, de beruchte bloedvloeiingsceremonie, driemaal per jaar plaatsvindt. Het werkt altijd, anders staat Napels voor een aantal slechte daden. Afhankelijk van de richting waar je vandaan komt, kan het heel moeilijk te vinden zijn, als je van de voorkant komt is het prima, zoals op een grotere hoofdweg, maar één ingang komt meer uit een steegje en je denkt dat je op de verkeerde plek bent, maar je gaat niet alleen de trap op. We wonen de mis bij in deze prachtige kathedraal en brachten vervolgens een paar gelukkige uren door met rondlopen en genieten van de schoonheid, vrede en rust van deze prachtige plek. In het midden staat het hoofdaltaar, bestaande uit een blok wit marmer, versierd met bas-reliëfs, aan de voorzijde, door een anonieme beeldhouwer uit de achttiende eeuw, toont de herrezen Christus. De binnenruimte van de kathedraal heeft de vorm van een Latijns kruis en bestaat uit een grote zaal, verdeeld met zijkapellen. Drie doorgangen van de grote zaal worden gescheiden door een reeks van acht pilaren, waaronder Romeinse zuilen versierd met stucwerk en marmer. Het plafond van het middenschip is versierd en verguld met vijf schilderijen uit de 17e eeuw. De kapel van San Gennaro is een bijzonder hoogtepunt, dat ongelooflijk sierlijk is.

Ballard Down is an area of chalk downland on the Purbeck Hills in Dorset county. It meets the English Channel here, and Ballard Down forms a headland,
Ballard Down forms the easternmost part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site (containing many fossil zones), which stretches for 155 kilometres (96 miles), from Orcombe Point near Exmouth, in the west, to Old Harry Rocks.
The coastal exposures along the coastline comprise a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock formations spanning about 185 million years.
At about 89,000 miles in diameter, Jupiter could swallow 1,000 Earths. It is the largest planet in the solar system and perhaps the most majestic. Vibrant bands of clouds carried by winds that can exceed 400 mph continuously circle the planet's atmosphere. Such winds sustain spinning anticyclones like the Great Red Spot—a raging storm three and a half times the size of Earth located in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere. In January and February 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft zoomed toward Jupiter, capturing hundreds of images during its approach. The observations revealed many unique features of the planet that are still being explored to this day. Watch the video (1.usa.gov/1l0JZ9h) to see a time-lapse of Jupiter assembled from images taken by the spacecraft.

Continuous lighting, using coloured GELS and longer exposure times. I sprayed water over the scene during the shot to try and achieve some sort of background effect - A "Northern Lights" effect perhaps ?
.Trails are rarely flat as you continuously gain altitude
. You have to concentrate on your footing and deal with breathless of hiking at altitude
. Path are used by yaks for transporting goods so do watch out for them and remember to keep on the upper side of the track( they might.. Barge you off the trail while passing)
. Trekking aches and pains, few blisters are usual especially if you are not used to trekking in high altitude )
. One of the Hardest thing is to carry your heavy backpack, ( and it’s pretty unfortunate if you get lost with that thing hanging around your back and getting lost is usual too)
Tinagong Dagat is an old crater with mossy bed. This was our base camp after 6 hours of hike from Patag, Silay.
When there's continuous downpour the bed transforms into a tranquil lake and dries up during the hot season thus the name "Tinagong Dagat" which means "hidden sea".
This was the 3rd time I trekked Tinagong Dagat (1999, 2001 then 2006). In 1999 this was the venue of the 1999 MFPI Federation Climb where campers were flooded with the sudden upwelling of the lake. It was one of experiences I could never forget as I was sleepless the whole night. Our tent was flooded with water so we had to transfer to another tent. The tent was only good for 2 persons but there were 5 of us who had to squeeze in. All my gears were all soaked wet and I had to borrow clothes from another friend.
Dunvegan Castle is located just north of the village Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. It is the seat of the MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod (in Scottish Gaelic “Clann MhicLeòid”).
Built on an elevated rock overlooking an inlet on the eastern shore of (sea) Loch Dunvegan. This combines an idyllic strategic setting. Dunvegan is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years. The castle was first built in the 13th century and developed further over the centuries. In the 19th century the whole castle was remodelled in a mock-medieval style.

This HDR consists of 3 handheld photos while battling a swarm of midgies; a small type of mosquito. It’s a wonder no midgies ended up in one of the photos. I merged the photos with Aurora HDR 2018. This program beats the capabilities of Photomatix. It offers more functionality, the option to work in multiple layers and can be completely integrated with Lightroom and Photoshop.

Superuse Studios is a Rotterdam based architecture office of Cesare Peeren, Willem Coenen, Bart Lentze and Mel Feldmuller. They utilize the contextual potential for design. A design is not considered as the beginning of a linear process but as a phase in a continuous cycle of creation and recreation, use and reuse.
Superuse Studios re-appropriates unwanted materials into architectural structures and is known for their innovative projects focusing on sustainable design within the fields of architecture, urban design and research. Three projects that highlight their strategies and design approach are ‘design shoe store’, ‘the miele space station’ and their ‘wikado’ urban furniture.
The Miele Space Station was one of Superuse Studios early trials in reuse architecture in 2003, its final destination is based at the faculty of architecture in Delft where it served as an espresso bar. Its futuristic appearance of a space station is composed of modules where it can be configured to different programs- even suited for living accommodation.

PS: Forgive me if I left anyone out.
PS II: Jacaranda Blue, Caecilia and Jose, I've tried to add you guys, but, as you know, you've disabled that feature, so know that the text is extended to you.
Columbia Restaurant is a restaurant in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida. It is the oldest continuously operated restaurant in Florida, as well as the oldest Spanish restaurant in the United States. With an expansive area of 52,000 square feet and the ability to seat up to 1,700 customers within 15 dining rooms, it stands as the largest Spanish restaurant in the world, covering an entire city block. Founded in 1903 as Saloon Columbia, it was renamed in 1905 to Columbia Restaurant. The landmark has been owned by the Hernandez-Gonzmart family for five generations and serves Spanish and Cuban cuisine.
In addition to the original location in Ybor City, there are Columbia restaurants in Sarasota (opened in 1959); in St. Augustine (opened in 1983); on Sand Key (1989); and in Celebration, Florida (1997). There are also smaller Columbia Café restaurants located at the Tampa Bay History Center (opened in 2009) and at Tampa International Airport (opened in May 2012).
The original restaurant's wine list contains more than 1,000 wines with an inventory exceeding 50,000 bottles. The restaurant features several private-label wines created to honor family members. The popular house sangria is mixed table side.
Several nights a week, the restaurant features dinner show performances of flamenco, one of Spain's traditional dances.
Columbia Restaurant holds an Annual Community Harvest campaign in September. The chain donates 5% of all guests' lunch and dinner checks, allowing patrons to designate the charitable organizations their choice. As of 2007, the event has generated more than $820,000 to Floridian nonprofits.
The restaurant celebrated "1905 Day" from 1980 to 2013. On that day, a special menu with 1905 prices was in effect from noon to 7 p.m. In 2014, the restaurant announced it would celebrate "1905 Day" in the future on significant anniversaries.
The annual Cesar Gonzmart Memorial Golf Tournament (CGMGT) began in 1995 by Columbia Restaurant owners Richard and Casey Gonzmart in memory of their father, who died of pancreatic cancer. Proceeds from the event are donated to a local charity or non-profit organization.
Columbia Restaurant, through funds raised during the 2001 CGMGT, and the Sant 'Yago Education Foundation gave $5,000 to support the American Heart Association's American Heart Heroes Week project, an initiative that provides camp experiences for children with cardiovascular disease. The 2003 CGMGT raised over $55,000 for Moffitt Cancer & Research Institute, the University of South Florida Athletic Association, and a scholarship for the USF Latino Scholarship Program.
