Few get enough,—enough is one;
To that ethereal throng
Have not each one of us the right
To stealthily belong?

The title refers to my earlier post on Dec 21.... One week later, a completely different scene!
CN's version of "heritage" and NS's version of "heritage" starkly contrast as they meet on a muggy August afternoon in Paducah, KY. The NS is here having loaded blended coal at Calvert City, KY. The IC is here on the daily CN local from Fulton, KY.
View it BIG, the detail is amazing!!!
Inspired by the lovely AlicePalice I decided to give RAW a try this morning too. Rik's Dad has been telling me to start shooting in RAW for ages now but I didnt have the software downloaded to the old computer and so never bothered.
Seeing the results I dont think ill be going back, its amazing!! - thanks for the inspiration Alice!!!
Quand j'ai pris cette photo et d'autres après, il y avait 2 chevreuils qui m'observaient aha.
When i took this photo and others, there was 2 deers who were watching me aha.
Normal daily life along a different timeline - which we cannot find - but have the feeling that it exists - but
Certainly!
Quantum computing represents a groundbreaking advancement in technology, deeply intertwined with the concepts of superposition, entanglement, and interference from quantum physics. Unlike classical computing, which processes information in a linear fashion using bits (0s and 1s), quantum computing utilizes quantum bits or qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables quantum computers to perform numerous calculations at once, effectively navigating through a vast landscape of potential solutions.
The idea of parallel timelines can be likened to the way quantum computers operate. Each decision or computation can be viewed as branching into multiple outcomes, similar to how different timelines might unfold based on various choices. This means that a quantum computer can explore various paths to a solution simultaneously, leading to remarkable efficiencies in solving complex problems.
In practical terms, this capability could revolutionize fields such as cryptography, where quantum computers may break existing encryption methods faster than classical computers. In material science, they could simulate quantum phenomena to discover new materials with desirable properties. Additionally, in optimization problems across various industries, quantum computing offers the potential to find the most efficient solutions more rapidly than traditional methods.
In summary, the link between quantum computing and the concept of parallel timelines highlights a fascinating intersection of technology and theoretical physics, suggesting that our understanding of reality may be more complex and interconnected than we previously imagined.
I took my car for its test today to the ITV centre at San Bartholeme.
First off you go to the office to register and pay and then wait in a queue for your test. When your car is called, you drive into the garage.
1. You sit in the car and follow the instructions whilst the technician checks the lights, front wipers, seat belts and the horn are working and he also checks the oil level.
2. The technician then drives your car forward for the brake tests on a rolling road.
3. He then moves your car forward again and performs the emission and noise level tests.
4. You get back into the car and drive it over a pit where a quick visual check is performed of the underside.
That is it - less than fifteen minutes in total. All that is left is for you to park the car up and collect your certificate and the all important sticker for the windscreen.
Two friends at Poseidon's Square in Handen. One with white shoes and black socks. The other with white shoes and black socks.
Much prettier sky today than on the other cloudy days that I tried this shot. Dazzle was again watching a person walking by on the road when I snapped this. I tried many different angles while he practiced his stay but only uploaded this one. I went out to get this particular shot (for a contest) in spite of the pain I'm in, then got back home and went back to bed. As far as the contest results, I would have been better off staying home. But I'm still glad I finally got the shot I wanted.
I added a photo of the log he was on to my stream to show that it is at ground level on the root end so that's how he got up there. The fallen tree is over a bit of a gully, so it gets pretty far off the ground. I am 5'5" and could just barely touch the underside of the log where he is standing in the photo. He's not the least bit bothered by height and at one point he was standing sideways across the log to look down at me. I liked the shot I got of him doing that, but I needed the flash and didn't realise that till I saw it larger on my computer screen.
He is as agile as a cat, but also careful about where he is putting his feet so I don't worry about him falling. And this is about the same height as the palisade wall that Malinois have to jump off of in Ringsport (after jumping to the top of the wall). (www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Q5K48NGPc)
Something a bit different from my regular Flickr uploads.
This is a short movie I made a while back but which I wasn't able to put on Flickr at the time because it was too long for the rules in place at the time.
I've been into video for many years but never really found the time to fully explore it as a medium. The original footage was shot several years ago on a Canon MV500 which records onto digital tape. I played the music on my Ibanez Electro-Acoustic 12 string, recorded and edited directly on my MacBook in Garageband. The whole lot is then edited together in iMovie.
There is more than a little influence from the work of the German Director Werner Herzog and also of Popul Vuh who supplied the soundtrack music for many of his earlier films.
There is another of my short films here:

.A heritage walk to Kashmiri Gate this Sunday morning was a different and a special experience for we got a chance to know and explore one of the busiest areas of the Delhi City. The area which is frequently visited yet less ‘known’, the area which hides various traces of Indian history but is only termed as congested and filthy.
We all know how rapidly urban spaces change. It was seems incredible, but our first stop, Nicholson’s Cemetery, was located in the area which was a battleground for British and the Indian rebels during the 1857 revolt. The cemetery has both British & Indian burials. If Brigadier General John Nicholson was known for his excellent military skills then Master Yasudas Ramachandra was popular for his intellectual excellence. Our next stop was, the remains of one of the magnificent gates of old Delhi-the Kashmiri Gate. The road through it led to Kashmir and so gave it this name; likewise it also lent the name to the neighborhood around it. In close vicinity to the gate were the remains of the wall of the walled city of Shahjahanabad. It is important to note that not only was the city evolving but also its wall and the people nearby saw various ups and downs in their life time as the city transformed. Not to be ignored is the Bengali Club located at the Kashmiri Gate? Once it was a hub for promoting Bengali culture, customs, traditions and festivals but sadly it is in a forgotten state. We then proceeded to a place called Bada Bazaar which is known to have houses of various Mughal Nobles and British officials before the bazaar came up. None of us could miss the charm of Lal Masjid, also known as Fakhr-ul-Masajid, projecting itself amidst the old archaic surrounding architecture. Our heritage trail then proceeds towards the old buildings of two famous colleges of Delhi University, St. Stephens and the Hindu college. Former was started by the missionaries to spread the English western education while the latter by Indians in opposition to British ideas. Right in front of us was elegant building of the St. James Church, whose property was looted and stolen by the rebels during 1857. A canteen and a field hospital were established here by the rebels. The church was established by James Skinner & the churchyard has the Skinner family burial ground as well as the grave of his good friend, William Fraser. Next in our stop was the bungalow of William Fraser, a majestic colonial building which is known to be built on the basement Ali Mardan Khan’s (important Mughal noble) residence. Now, passing by the old buildings of the city we reached an Archaeological Museum which was once an important Mughal and British building. Called the Dara Shukoh Library, it was later made into the British Residency. This is where David Ochterlony lampooned as ‘Loony Akhtar’ lived. A few steps ahead is the Telegraph Memorial and remains of British Magazine, both memorials for the British; the loyal and faithful service of their officials, whose important deeds resulted in controlling the uprising. We finally reached the end of our walk at the Lothian Road Cemetery, the first British cemetery in Delhi. Our journey was an attempt to unravel the story of bravery and loyalty, tracing both sides of the story.

"Different World" is the first track from English heavy metal band Iron Maiden's 2006 album A Matter of Life and Death. The song is the band's thirty-fifth single, and is also the second single from the album, released on 14 November 2006 in the United States, and 26 December 2006 in Europe. The song has been stated by the band to be a tribute to Thin Lizzy due to the low sounding melodies sung by Bruce Dickinson that are reminiscent of those Phil Lynott would sing. It was played first every night on the band's A Matter of Life and Death Tour.
The guitar solo in "Different World" is played by Adrian Smith.
The song is featured in the skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.
The all-female tribute band, The Iron Maidens, recorded an acoustic cover of the song on their 2008 EP The Root of All Evil.
