It is a single shot heavily opening the shadows, but I should have really used bracketing as there was quite lot of brightness difference between the sky and the foreground.
I did warm it up in post prod to give more a sunset feeling, although I took this picture just 30 mins before the sunset. Issue was that at sunset there were no clouds at all, so the sky and the reflections were not as good.

The variety of terrain on The Big Island of Hawaii is crazy -- we drove from Hilo all the way around the east side of the island to our hotel just outside of Kona. The drive was definitely worth the time -- just to appreciate the vast differences between each area of the island.
Governor Josh Shapiro, First Lady Lori Shapiro, Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, and Second Lady Blayre Holmes Davis will host a State Dinner at the Governor’s Residence in honor of nine Pennsylvanians who have made a difference in their communities. The State Dinner will tell the stories of nine Pennsylvanians who do meaningful work to improve the lives of others across the Commonwealth.
The centerpiece of the evening’s program will be the presentation of the Governor’s Keystone Award, which each honoree will receive in recognition of the significant contributions they’ve made to their communities, donating their time, knowledge, and talents to help improve the lives of others.
Members of the Shapiro Administration’s cabinet will also attend the State Dinner, which will feature a string quartet from the NEPA Philharmonic.
“Josh and I are honored to welcome these inspiring Pennsylvanians and their families into our home so we can recognize the work they are doing to make our Commonwealth a better place,” said First Lady Lori Shapiro. “Their incredible stories show that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can make a difference in the lives of the people around you. All nine Pennsylvanians being honored tonight are examples of the power of one – one person serving their community, addressing the needs they see, lending a helping hand, can have a compounding nature and a large impact over time.”
“As I travel all across our Commonwealth, it’s the stories of Pennsylvanians who are making a difference in their communities that inspires me and keeps me going,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “The First Lady and I are honored to recognize nine exemplary Pennsylvanians who are improving their communities, whether that means advocating for those too often forgotten and left behind, mentoring our children to ensure they have the tools to succeed, or supporting those who have served in uniform. We congratulate and thank them for their contributions to our Commonwealth, dedication to their communities, and commitment to service.”
The State Dinner is part of Governor and First Lady Shapiro’s efforts to reimagine the use of Governor’s Residence, opening the Residence up to more Pennsylvanians and organizing programs that inspire others to give back to their communities.

The view from my window doesn't change much and usually includes a neighbour's car. So when I looked out the other day I thought I was seeing double! Obviously they had a visitor with the same taste in cars. However if you look closely there are three differences. You will get a brownie point if you can spot them and another if you can name the model.
This was the point of the difference engine -- generate molds that could be used to cast type for books of mathematical tables.
Traditionally plates were hand-set by humans who made errors; then carried around by low-wage labor who dropped things, etc; so there was plenty of points where errors could be introduced.
With a difference engine, it would make a mold, and you'd cast the plate directly from the mold. No way for a digit to fall out or get transposed by accident.
Interesting differences in the past 50 years or so. Any ex. DGS pupils from the same (or close) year are more than welcome to contact me via Flickrmail, I would love to renew friendships.

So, what a difference a week makes. Another visit to Sheffield Mills to attempt to get photos of eagles in action. I thought it was going to be another "blowout" as by the time we arrived (0920) the food had been placed and the photographers were assembled. There was very little action - a gull and a raven wandering among the chicken carcasses.
And then about 0950 the action started and I managed to shoot 585 frames - 168 of which were deleted from the camera and an additional 101 deleted once I saw them on my desktop. I one starred 43 and then gave 14 of those two stars - 13 of which are posted here - 5 made it to Instagram.
The Make a Difference Area at Summer Camp is located just outside the main walkway to the Moonshine Stage and hosts a wide variety of nonprofit organizations. We hope that the education these groups provide at their booths and during panel discussions in the Soulshine Tent will increase your awareness of important environmental and human rights issues, and inspire you to get involved and take action in a positive way…both locally and around the world!
We're moving in less than 2 weeks. We've been packing, and getting stuff ready.
Hope everyone's doing great and staying warm!!
There's something in this picture that's not the same as everything else. Can you spot it??
It takes great skill and dexterity to ensure that after 3 bottles of champagne, you grab the right bottom. ;-)
Look at the picture. One was taken in Istanbul the other was in Washington DC... SEASON: Winter... ;) Go figure and you judge
ESPS Baleares (F71) was the lead ship of five Spanish-built Baleares-class frigates, based on the American Knox class design, of the Spanish Navy.
Laid down on 31 October 1968 and launched on 20 August 1970, Baleares was commissioned into service on 24 September 1973.
The Baleares class were a group of five frigates built for the Spanish Navy in the late 1960s and 1970s. The ships were a modified version of the American Knox-class frigates. The key differences are the replacement of helicopter facilities by a medium-range surface-to-air missile system and associated radars. Constructed between 1968 and 1976, the Baleares class began entering service in 1973 and formed the 31 Escort Squadron, based at Ferrol. The five ships were upgraded several times during their service lives. The ships were retired beginning in the mid-2000s and replaced by the Álvaro de Bazán-class frigates on a one-to-one basis.
In the 1960s, Spain sought to update its fleet of warships. The government entered into negotiations with the United Kingdom for the acquisition of four Leander-class frigates. However, the negotiations failed as questions were raised in the United Kingdom over dealing with the unpopular Spanish government. Instead, the Spanish government turned to the United States and on 17 November 1964 an agreement acquire five Knox-class frigates was signed. On 31 March 1966, a technical support agreement was reached between the two nations. As part of the agreement, the hulls and machinery were to be constructed in Spain at Ferrol while the weapons and sensors would come from the United States. The superstructures were to be built at Alicante, Spain and the boilers, distilling machinery and propellers at Cádiz.
Though copies of the American Knox class, the Baleares class was a modified design. The Spanish frigates removed the aft flight deck and helicopters along with the short-range Sea Sparrow missile defence system and replaced them with the medium-range Standard surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. The frigates of the Baleares class had an initial standard displacement of 3,015 metric tons (2,967 long tons) and a full load displacement of 4,177 t (4,111 long tons). They measured 126.5 metres (415 ft 0 in) long between perpendiculars and 133.5 m (438 ft 0 in) long overall with a beam of 14.3 metres (46 ft 11 in) and a maximum draught of 7.5 m (24 ft 7 in) over the sonar. The ships would go through a series of modifications throughout their service, with their standard displacement increasing to 3,350 t (3,300 long tons) and their draught increasing to 7.8 m (25 ft 7 in) over the sonar.
The Baleares class were equipped with one Westinghouse geared turbine turning one shaft creating 26,000 kilowatts (35,000 shp). It was powered by steam from by two Combustion Engineering V2M boilers. The boilers had a working pressure of 84.4 kg/cm2 (1,200 psi) at 510 °C (950 °F). This gave the Baleares class a maximum speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph). They had capacity for 750 metric tons (740 long tons; 830 short tons) of fuel oil giving them a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km; 5,200 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph). They had a complement of 256 including 15 officers.
The frigates were initially armed with one 5-inch (127 mm)/54-calibre Mk 42 naval gun, the Standard SM1-MR SAM system with a Mark 22 launcher and 16 missiles and the Mark 112 octuple RUR-5 ASROC anti-submarine warfare system using Mark 46 torpedoes with eight reloads. The frigates also had four 12.75-inch (324 mm) torpedo tubes fitted internally into the port and starboard of the aft superstructure and inclined at 45° for Mark 44 torpedoes and two 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes fitted internally at the stern for Mark 37 torpedoes.[3][4][5] The ships stored 41 torpedoes total. The Baleares class underwent a two stage mid-life modernisation between 1985 and 1991 which involved the addition of four Harpoon surface-to-surface missiles in the first stage and two 20-millimetre (0.79 in) Meroka CIWS gun systems in the second stage. They also had their stern torpedo tubes removed to accommodate the variable depth sonar installation.
The frigates initially fitted AN/SPS-52A air search and AN/SPG-51C gun fire control radars along with AN/SQS-23 hull-mounted and AN/SQS-35A variable depth towed sonars. During the first stage modernisation, the ships were given AN/SPS-10F surface search radar and the AN/SPG-53 Mark 68 gun fire control system. The ships were also given upgraded fire control where the Mark 74 system used the Mark 73 director and the SPG-51C radar along with the Mark 68 director with the SPG-53 radar to control two Standard missiles simultaneously. The Mark 68 could also be used to control the main gun. Additionally, the frigates received SRN-15A, TACAN, the TRITAN-1 combat data system and NATO Link 11. During the second stage, the Baleares class received the RAN-12L/X air search radar for the Meroka CIWS system and replaced the original SQS-23 sonar with the DE1160LF sonar. They also saw their electronic warfare suite improved with the addition Mark 36 SBROC decoy launchers.
