Başka türlü birşey benim istediğim
Ne aÄŸaca benzer ne de buluta
Burası gibi değil gideceğim memleket
Denizi ayrı deniz, havası ayrı hava
Nerde gördüklerim,nerde o beklediğim
Rengi başka, tadı başka
Bir başka yolculuk dalından düşmek yere
Yaşadığından uzun
Bir tatlı yolculuk dalından inmek yere
Ağacın yüksekliğince
Dalın yüksekliğince rüzgârda
Vardığım çimen yeşilliğince

Deze serie is gemaakt van dezelfde bloem om mijn macro-lens zo goed mogelijk te leren kennen. Vooral om te oefenen hoeveel bokeh er met de lens is aan te brengen.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as the downtown was revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Cosmos is a genus of annual and perennial plants composed of about 20-26 species belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is native of Mexico (where the majority of the species occur), the southern United States of America (Arizona, Florida), Central America and northern South America to the Paraguay. Are typical plants of vacant and meadows.
Have sized herbaceous and can grow between 0.3 and 2m high. The leaves are simple, pinnate or bipinnate, and arranged as opposed pairs. The flowers are produced in a chapter, which has a ring of large florets on the banks (the "petals" of the flower) and a set of fertile central florets. The flower color is very variable between different species.

I've seen many images of this chappel in St Magdalena, all shot in almost the same way. So we thought we could try something different. Not so spectacular, but maybe unique.
Hope you like it, enjoy!

A different aspect on Winter Gala visitor 4953 Pitchford Hall on the Don Bishop photo charter. We were waiting for the sun to shine for our next run-past so I took the opportunity to pull some coal forward. The chap in the blue jacket is the loco owner's rep from the Epping & Ongar Railway.
Portland Bill Dorset
Lighthouses all ways make great imagery either painted or photographed , there is something about them that stirs the imagination , this one at Portland Bill is one of my favourites , it's the red and white colours and how it stands out proud against those rocks , deifying the power of the sea .
Theirs a few different compositions that you can shoot from , all of them potentially good .
Usually yard jobs work the north end of Rices Point yard in Duluth but this evening a CP crew had to drift down to the south end to pick up a few straggler grain cars for delivery to Riverland.
Rambagh Palace, Jaipur is like an oasis of opulence. Very expensive by Indian standards in beautiful grounds. Close to the polo club. Lunch only for me!
And now something a little different.
I do not know terribly much about the Mouse Guards, one pictured here, I just think they look nice. I have seen Shelly post about them, I also know there was a movie in the works at some point but it ran into problems and I don’t think it’s on anymore.
I saw a Getcrazybricks Kickstarter thing about these a while ago and decided to support enough to get at least one figure just to see how they’re like. It arrived a few days ago and it looked great!
Due to the nature of these figures I went for exceptionally heavy editing with the colours. It’s a mouse with cape, shield and a sword, no need for strict realism here exactly.
This is obviously not an official Lego product but rather something that is compatible with the brick. Nevertheless, I'm treating it as Lego. It just shows how versatile the Danish toy is.
5 Of 7 German Shepherd Dogs At Apollo Beach Dog Park Today - IMRANâ„¢
Kennedy & K2 didn’t get as much walking dome in the last two weeks as I’ve been really busy. My daily 10,000-12,000 steps routine is down to 6,00-8,000.
Tuesday was very hectic but shortly before sunset I was able to take them to the Apollo Beach dog park. It was a pleasant surprise to see five GSDs there already. I only had time to take one photo with five of them, including both my German Shepherd Dogs, with red Kong collars, in one place because people had been leaving as sunset approached. But the breed gang got to have some fun because the personalities of all 7 GSDs were as wildly different as characters in a Quentin Tarantino film.

Something completely different for you...this was taken at the Ekka my eldest is in the chair at the top... :) Obviously photoshopped but I love the high contrast and the B&W...
The photo is about different lives in different frames. The photo is actually about a train compartment where people from different places came to go to different destinations. They are traveling together. Some people got tickets to sit in their seats and some did not get any seats so they are traveling by standing.

One of my lovely followers asked for pictures in my satin dressing again, how could I refuse. Hope you all enjoy?
I've been using ON1 PhotoRaw for a few years now and the latest build has just been released - a new build from the ground up with changed interface and a swag of 'AI' features baked in.
Primarily I use ON1 for it's masking, blending and stitching tools, which are very good and do all the heavy lifting of raw development in DxO PhotoLab.
As it's the new release I thought I'd try a 'raw to jpeg' compared to the last release..
These images are a couple of 'also rans' from the "2nd's" folder of a sunrise a while back.
Two exposure stacks (one layer for sky and foreground on the other)..
Thoughts (and in no way a review):
Raw development seems to a lot cleaner (thou these were pretty clean exposures in the first place) basically happy with it - noise reduction still creates artifice but can be turned tweaked to create smoother results.
I use DxO PhotoLab for raw development so it's nice change to be able to stay 'in house' when I want to.
Ran on three different pc's so far:
iMac27" - 2017 i5 w 40g ram and ssd
MacBook Pro - M1 w 16gb ram and ssd
Dell G7 Win10 Laptop - 16gb ram, GTX1060 (6gb) and two ssd's
The intel based machines are pretty much on a par for performance - I'm more of a temporal editor i.e. I don't mind spending 'time' on a single image letting it tell me what it needs to be which is good as they're a little sluggish with it, could be the the cataloguing (something I'm not inclined to use ACDSee still does that fine for me) - both using a lot of power and running the fans - (actually I hadn't heard the iMac run it's fans before).
The MacBook runs just fine thou it's running hotter than usual as well.
Overall I don't feel I've done the money - but next years build is always another thing :-)

I asked Nicole to touch the surface of the water while underwater. I had this shot in my head. It's like being in a different dimension but in the same place and time.
