There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors.

The indistinct islands are distorted due to distance and differences in air temperatures.

Central hall of Arnhem CS.

 

Arnhem CS is the central station of the city of Arnhem, the capital of the Dutch province of Gelderland. The design for Arnhem Centraal uses the natural differences in height in the city. Station Arnhem CS is designed by Architect Ben van Berkel.

The Lauterbrunnen valley is one of the deepest in the Alps, comparing the height difference of the adjacent mountains and the valley floor. In some places the cliff walls are 1000 m high. Streams flowing down the mountains, at the edge of the rocky valley walls, form high waterfalls. The most famous of these are the Staubbach Falls (visible on the right) and the Trummelbach Falls. The 297 m high Staubbach Falls is the tallest free-fall waterfall in Switzerland.

-

Dolina Lauterbrunnen jest jedną z najgłębszych w Alpach, porównując różnicę wysokości przyległych gór i dno doliny. W niektórych miejscach ściany klifu mają wysokość sięgającą 1000 m. Strumienie spływające z gór, na skraju skalistych ścian doliny, tworzą wysokie wodospady. Najbardziej znanym z nich jest wodospad Staubbach (widoczny po prawej) oraz wodospad Trummelbach . Wodospad Staubbach o wysokości 297 m jest najwyższym wodospadem swobodnie spadającym w Szwajcarii.

 

What a difference a year can make.

 

This morning Facebook asked if I wanted to share a memory from one year ago. The photo was of a Reddish egret taken in January of 2022 at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida.

 

A year ago, at this time Sanibel was swamped with both tourists and resident and seasonal birds, an estimated 247 different species. If you looked for it, you could find evidence of past hurricanes and tropical storms that had visited, mainly in the live oaks, but you had to look closely. Then 28 September of 2022 arrived with Hurricane Ian, a direct hit by a category four hurricane.

 

I sat and staired at the photo for quite some time, wondering if this beautiful creature survived. Wildlife doesn’t have many options when nature is at its worst. In the case of birds, they have two basic options. Some use the winds of the initial bands to propel them out of harms way. Others ride it out, taking shelter where they can.

 

While researching what wildlife does in hurricanes, a sad scenario was presented. It is well documented that birds often become trapped in the eye of hurricanes, taking flight possibly thinking it is over, then flying in a panic unable to escape the storms walls.

 

Here is an unreleased archive shot of the beautiful creature I was blessed to photograph, as I hope and pray it is well.

 

The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...

This is a fly and can be confused with the honey bee. When they sit still you can see

the differences

Hope they make up soon...

Finally! A sunny, winter day with lovely fresh snow. We received about a foot of snow last night and so we headed out to get some photos before the wind knocked all the snow off. The temperature was -13C, but with the wind it was more like -25C. A bit crisp, but the sun made it all good.

 

Driving through the snow, the car smoothed and compacted the snow between the wheel ruts, but we had no problems. Snow tires and AWD make a big difference.

Huge differences in weather from the eastern part of Norway to the west coast, so now there is only rain and wind ahead 😂

…One for Sliders Sunday - besides the obvious B&W -V- Colour can you see some magic sliding gone on to make them nearer to the Olympic rings - no photoshop only Lightroom and no washers were mutilated in the process! See 1st comment box for other shot - original one from last weeks Macro Monday. Happy Sliders Sunday, Alan:-) HSS…..

This is a featheredge fence covered in algae, taken with the camera pointing downwards. And then I flipped it vertically. And then, for Sliders Sunday, I played with the colour sliders (Levels adjustment on individual RGB channels - that’s a new one for me :) ).

 

Well, that’s not exactly all.

 

It’s also an in-camera multiple exposure using three ICMs, the first two quite blurred, and Darken blend mode. To be honest this bit didn’t make a lot of difference apart from smoothing the lines.

 

I’ll post a link to the in-camera original for the ME/ICMs in the first comment.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x and Sliders Sunday!

All is occupied, but feel free to come and visit the public part :)

  

"Luanes World - Live the Dream", is the newest addition to the Luanes World sims. But as a difference to "Luanes World" @Slice of Heaven and "Luanes Magical World" @ Morning Glow, who are public sims, "Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara is a residential sim.

 

The rentals consist of 7 different houses, all with water view.

The rest of the sim is free for all to use, and enjoy.

Note this sim is moderate, so keep everything naughty inside of your house:)

Please respect the privacy of the other tenants - do not contact anybody else, when they are in the privacy of their own home. If you meet them in the public areas, you can of course say hi :)

 

Price:

Each rental, no matter which house you choose, is 799/week, with a 2 week minimum pay the first time.

After the first payment you can pay between 1-4 weeks at a time.

 

Prims:

You get 250 prims to decorate the house, and the nearest surrounding with. Please keep within the prim limit, as we all have to share the prims available.

If you need additional prims, you can buy extra prims - in units of 25 prims for 75 linden/week. Write me a notecard if you want your prim limit changed.

 

Privacy:

Each rental has it's own security orb, and the parcel setting is set to private, so you will be invisible to people from outside the parcel.

You can add people to the security orb, once I have set it up for you.

 

Music and parcel name and description:

If you want the parcel to have a specific name and/or description, write it in a notecard, and I will add that for you.

Also if you would like a specific music stream, you can put that in a notecard as well, and I will change that for you.

 

Luanes Residential World Group:

"Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara has its own group where only tenants will be able to join (as well as subtenants). Only members of this group will be able to rezz on the sim, but the public parts are open for everybody.

 

Upon renting a house, send me a notecard, and I will invite you to the group, so you can start decorating your new home. Any subtenants you need adding, you put in the notecard as well. Note that this is only needed, if they need to be able to rezz as well.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. If I am not online, please send a notecard, as my IM's get capped.

 

Sincerely LuaneMeo.

One image was taken last night at 10 PM. The other image was taken at 8 AM this morning. Do you see the one difference? Poor Pumpkin! 😂

This small place, located in the historical core of Liège, has been entirely renewed between 1978 and 1985. Charles Vandenhove (1927-) was the architect of the project. He proposed an intervention on the XVIIth and XVIIIth century building characterized by a marked difference between existing structures and new ones, through the use of steel and concrete and postmodern architecture. As one can see from the picture, the place has kept its character and attractiveness over the years…

...touching your eyes

OR

...touching you soul...

 

Is how much you let yourself go.....

  

LIVE!!!

The difference between the two is startling when they're close together. The Great Egret towers over the Snowy Egret! Lovely birds that look so much alike from a distance but are so startlingly different when seen together.

“The only difference between an extraordinary life and an ordinary one is the extraordinary pleasures you find in ordinary things. “ - Veronique Vienne. Although this sunflower pales by comparison the vibrant hello ones we saw, it has it’s own extraordinary beauty. For Sliders Sunday, I kept the tones light with a warm edit and created a bit more blur in the background. Celebrate the simple pleasures.

I have done this shot before. The difference is that, today, no parked car is obstructing the view. This is the gatehouse (and one of the gates) leading to the Tudor mansion of Markyate Cell. The gatehouse was built in the 19th century, though keeping the Elizabethan style of the 16th century. It is a listed building today and a private residence.

The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
