This is a photo of patterns in the river current. I used the LunaPic photo editing website to mirror and copy the image twice to generate this symmetrical image.

*Harry Potter is cool, but JK Rowling sucks for being a TERF*
Alien art
We have been developed according to the tree of life.
The current biological development-stage is not enjoyable. We suffer from illnesses (mentally and physically), from aggressions we do to each other, etc.
We are that what nature could do until now in our biological development. Our societies couldn’t do much either to lead us to a better life. We are stuck, our scientific, technological and psychological knowledges are no help too. We kill other human beings, inflicting suffering to each other. We are not in a proper stage of our biological development, we didn’t biologically develop enough. We have a lot of warriors and guns ready to kill others. We prepare us and plan for the very sad actions.
Maybe some aliens are very lucky that they could able to pass this horrible stage we are in now.
We are not able get it that "killing any human being for any reason is not acceptable". Our feelings and emotions put us on a road which doesn’t have any exits.
Ripping currents and huge swells have conspired against me this week taking any decent photographs of the grey nurse sharks at South West Rocks. Truth be told I'm pretty happy to return to the boat with my camera and strobes in hand and safety stop completed.
This particular shark was one of the most curious in the bunch coming in closer for a look at the diver with the funny camera thingy that kept flashing. I loved his mosquito armada of pilot fish overhead walking the thin line between being a tasty snack and being brave hanging out with the big boys...

St. Nicholas Church, an Orthodox church in Tbilisi, is located within the walls of the historic Narikala Fortress, which towers high above the city. The current church, built in the 1990s, replaced an earlier structure that dated back to the 13th century. The architecture of the church reflects traditional Georgian design, with its characteristic domes and stone facades. Inside the church, the walls are adorned with vibrant frescoes depicting important Biblical scenes and saints, including St. Nicholas, to whom the church is dedicated. These paintings, combined with the serene atmosphere, make the church an important place for both worshippers and visitors interested in the religious and cultural history of Georgia. Perched high above the city, the church is not always easy to reach for everyone. The church’s location on the fortress also offers visitors a stunning view of Tbilisi, making it a popular destination for both tourists and believers seeking both spiritual and visual experiences.
In the photo, an elderly woman dressed in simple black clothing, a symbol of her deep devotion and humility, is seen slowly making her way towards St. Nicholas Church with the help of her crutches, determined to attend the service. Her face, marked by the years, radiates a quiet strength and dedication. Despite her physical limitations, her faith is an undeniable force that drives her to this sacred place, where she finds solace and connection in her spiritual practices. The church, surrounded by history and prayers, seems to draw her in as a beacon of hope and peace.
De Sint-Nicolaaskerk, een orthodoxe kerk in Tbilisi, bevindt zich binnen de muren van het historische Narikala-fort, dat hoog boven de stad uittorent. De huidige kerk, gebouwd in de jaren 1990, verving een eerdere structuur uit de 13e eeuw. De architectuur van de kerk weerspiegelt de traditionele Georgische bouwstijl, met karakteristieke koepels en stenen gevels. Binnen de kerk zijn de muren versierd met levendige fresco's die belangrijke Bijbelse scènes en heiligen afbeelden, waaronder Sint-Nicolaas, aan wie de kerk is gewijd. Deze schilderingen, samen met de serene sfeer, maken de kerk tot een belangrijke plek voor zowel gelovigen als bezoekers die geïnteresseerd zijn in de religieuze en culturele geschiedenis van Georgië. De kerk ligt hoog boven de stad en is niet altijd gemakkelijk te bereiken voor iedereen. Op de foto is een oude vrouw te zien, gekleed in sobere zwarte kleding, een symbool van haar diepe devotie en nederigheid. Met haar krukken strompelt ze langzaam richting de Sint-Nicolaaskerk, vastberaden om de mis bij te wonen. Haar gezicht, getekend door de jaren, straalt een stille kracht en toewijding uit. Ondanks haar fysieke beperkingen is haar geloof een onmiskenbare drijfveer, die haar voortstuwt naar deze heilige plek, waar ze troost en verbinding vindt in haar spirituele rituelen. De kerk, omringd door geschiedenis en gebeden, lijkt haar aan te trekken als een baken van hoop en vrede. De ligging van de Sint-Nicolaaskerk op het fort biedt bezoekers ook een prachtig uitzicht over Tbilisi, waardoor het een populaire bestemming is voor zowel toeristen als gelovigen die op zoek zijn naar spirituele en visuele indrukken.
I like to remember the date of the last swim of the season, since I was hot and sweaty from the hike in, I took what could be the last voluntary dip of 2015.
Still green on the Manistee as of 9/25. Anyone planning a float over the weekend is in for a treat, the forecast looks beautiful and the water is as clear as it gets outside of winter.
The front view of the Royal George Hotel building (currently Six Degrees) in Albany.
The Royal George Hotel despite being built in 1885 and being described in Wikipedia as:
“an example of Victorian Free Classical architecture and is part of a group of commercial buildings with an asymmetrical façade and inter-columnisation. The building has a painted rendered brick facade on the second and third storeys with painted brick below. The roof is concealed by a parapet wall with gables and classical decorative motifs. Street level windows are arched and a cantilevered box verandah provides some shade and cover.”
it does not appear to have state heritage protection, only appearing the City of Albany municipal register.

Current situation: a summer morning with no plans or obligations. Bliss!
Asha Alvira is lounging on the gorgeous bed and bedding from Florence & Taylor that I won at Blythcon Brooklyn.
Here's a panorama of the Pink Marri Eucalyptus (Corymbia calophylla) that's currently flowering profusely in the gardens of the Belvidere Manor Hotel. You can easily see this tree from the other side of the Knysna estuary while driving along Lagoon Drive. It sticks out like a sore thumb!
I spent some time sitting on this bench yesterday, absorbing the natural energy of this remarkable tree, while thinking about Life, the Universe and Everything else (in between). How long has this tree been growing here and how many people have sat on this bench before me? Did they also feel a sudden jolt of positive energy as soon as they sat down? Why is it that spending time with trees often feels more rewarding to me than spending my time with (most) other people? Will this photo also be included in my next coffee-table photo-book about the most "Remarkable Trees in Urban Knysna"?
At this stage, I only know the answer to one of those questions.
Gainsborough Lea Road railway station, Gainsborough, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
The first station at Gainsborough was the current Gainsborough Central station, which opened in 2 April 1849 by the Manchester Sheffield and Lincoln railway. Initially a terminus this became a through station when the line was extended to Woodhouse and Retford on 16 July 1849. On 9 April 1849 a single-track line built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) from Lincoln to west of the station and GNR trains serving Gainsborough reversed here. Following the opening of the MSLR line to Retford, GNR services then ran to Retford although the reversal into Gainsborough Central was still required.
The GNR was keen to extend their line from Gainsborough to Doncaster and parliamentary approval for this line was received on 25 July 1864. As part of this scheme the existing Lincoln to Gainsborough line was also to be upgraded. On 1 December that year the line from Lincoln to Doncaster was closed and doubling took place. At this time the new station initially called Gainsborough was built and trains started calling there on 15 July 1867. On 1 March 1871 a line was opened from north of the station to the bank of the River Trent serving Ashcroft Saw Mill and an iron works.
In 1879 the GNR and the Great Eastern Railway (GER) formed a committee to build a line linking the coal fields of south Yorkshire to London. This saw the building of a new line from Spalding North Junction to Pyewipe Junction near Lincoln which opened in stages in 1882. The station was transferred to the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway committee.
Passenger facilities were improved in 1883 and 1884, and goods facilities expanded in 1886 and 1891 with a number of rail connected businesses operated in the station area. In 1909 the joint committee was abandoned and although the station remained in Joint ownership, it was managed by the GNR.
The GNR amalgamated with several other railways to form the London and North Eastern Railway on 1 January 1923. On 9 July the station was renamed Gainsborough North although this name was short-lived as the station was renamed Gainsborough Lea Road on 1 December.
In the Second World War the joint line saw significant freight traffic and passenger services were reduced as a result. Following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 Gainsborough Lea Road became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways. The goods yard remained active during the 1950s but falling traffic saw closure on 1 April 1967.
Compared to Gainsborough Central, Lea Road is very inconveniently sited, being around a 20-minute walk from the town centre. Whilst there is a bus between the station and the town centre, this is not timetabled to connect with train services.
Moved my Collectors to here. The Novi's were originally on this closet but I don't have them on display at all anymore.
I'm not done with it!

The next round from current project built around this year's cherry blossom season. I've decided to tackle this project in a different way, With these images, I'll publish 3 different versions. The first will be a "stock" image that will be uncropped and will only have my basic RAW processing. The second will have my color edit - sometimes, the changes will be subtle, on others it might be a dramatic difference. The third iteration will show my B&W edit. I'm not going to share my (sometimes involved) workflow on these images - but all were shot with my Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 25mm f1.2 Pro lens (usually wide open, but not exclusively).

Currently, my most interesting/viewed/favorited photo. Actually, it's also the one portrait I personally like most of all the thousands I've taken.
This and the other one are supposed to be for the Still Life With ... group. I am having trouble deciding which one. It is supposed to be my last in the series of 3. What do you think? This or the one with the white background back ground?
Best viewed large!

Currently dog sitting for my daughter Kate who presented us with our first grandchild at 07:57 on 07/08/25 a baby girl called Margot.
Rainy day today, quiet around the house, miss my own home, worn but well.
Enjoying being artful again, even if it is only a little. Hopeful that I will get to dig in and be wrist deep in paint and glue this weekend. Need some studio time badly...have some mixed media pieces, collages, in mind and my muse is burning so brightly she is threatening to scorch my insides out just to be free...
Winds bear down on the ocean to create surface currents, seen here swirling off the coast of Florida in this NASA-created image, a still capture from a 4-minute excerpt of "Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth's Climate Engine," a fulldome, high-resolution movie playing at planetariums around the world.
The excerpt explores the fundamental power of the sun and how its energy drives the climate on Earth, and is made up entirely of new visualizations -- created by NASA Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio -- that illustrate NASA satellite and model data of a coronal mass ejection from the sun, Earth's magnetic fields, and winds and ocean currents circulating around our planet.
To see the full, narrated excerpt, go to: youtu.be/ujBi9Ba8hqs
These visualizations were recently accepted to be shown at the SIGGRAPH 2012 computer animation conference. To read more about this, go to:

The excerpt was also the basis for the 100th story released through the Scientific Visualization Studio's iPad app, called NASA Visualization Explorer. To see the app story in web form and to download the app, go to:
