The first real "Landscape location" from my recent holiday and I blew it, (at least in my estimation.)
You see, when I got to the Tarn at 5.30 am, everything was as dull as dull can be. It was still, but oh so lifeless. I waited around till 7.15 when the reflections started to go but it was still just as dull, then I left, having taken just one or two half hearted attempts at photographs.
It was the following day that the light went on in my head that said, "Low contrast black and white, plus polariser....IDEAL conditions!"
Does anyone else have these mental blanks (or senior moments) like this, or is it just me?
This is one of the few I shot as colour and just managed to process to be closer to what I would have taken if I'd had that thought bubble in time! I would have composed differently though and used my polariser.
I haven't stopped kicking myself after all the effort of getting there so early. The problem was, I went with a completely different expectation and intention in mind and it had been the autumn since my last landscape foray, and I just wasn't back in the right mental gear!

A close up of the lovely nut cheese, with basil, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes.
In the nut cheese (again, estimations...I don't usually follow recipes other than for the individual ingredients):
1 Cup soaked mixed cashews and walnuts
1/4 Cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. tahini
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
salt to taste
some of the original nut "whey" to help blending
...again, I think that's it. I had to be pretty careful with the amount of extra ingredients I added in this. You don't want it too salty or too creamy (don't add too much liquid), but also if it's too straight up nutty-tasting it doesn't really remind you of cheese (well, in my opinion anyway). The nutritional yeast and the vinegar and the salt give it less of a nut flavor, more of a cheese flavor. The consistency should be that of like ricotta cheese.
I totally ruled on this. (Pats self on back.)
Buenos Aires is a HUGE city! In my estimation it must be about the size of New York, if not even bigger. I took this photo from inside a LAN Argentina A320 departing Aeroparque Jorge Newbery for San Carlos de Bariloche, a few moments after take-off. In this shot you can clearly see the layer of smog over the city.
"Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), 'Upper Corinth', the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. 'It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece,' in the estimation of George Forrest. Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called 'Fetters of Greece' – three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros.
"Afterwards it became a fortress of the Frankish Principality of Achaea, the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was used as the last line of defence in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry into the Peloponnese peninsula. Three circuit walls formed the man-made defence of the hill. The highest peak on the site was home to a temple to Aphrodite which was converted to a church, and then became a mosque. The American School's Corinth Excavations began excavations on it in 1929. Currently, Acrocorinth is one of the most important medieval castle sites of Greece.
"In a Corinthian myth related in the 2nd century CE to Pausanias, Briareus, one of the Hecatonchires, was the arbitrator in a dispute between Poseidon and Helios, between the sea and the sun: his verdict was that the Isthmus of Corinth belonged to Poseidon and the acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth) to Helios."

There is no paradise, in the estimation of the believers in the Divine Unity, more exalted than to obey God's commandments, and there is no fire in the eyes of those who have known God and His signs, fiercer than to transgress His laws and to oppress another soul, even to the extent of a mustard seed.

The yield estimation from the shockwave was recorded as being 45 kilotons, while the thermal energy estimation put the yield at 75 kilotons. Samples from the radioactive cloud taken by cloud penetration aircraft after the explosion confirmed the yield to be approximately 65 kilotons. No other nation detonated such a high yielding device as its first test.

The Holy Well and shrine at this place were anciently in high estimation, and resorted to by pilgrims, who came from all parts of the Kingdom to worship there. It has a reputation as a healing well. The well was enclosed by William Coulson Esq., who purchased possession here in 1669 (as) a bathing place, which was no sooner done than the water left it. This was considered a just revenge for profaning the sacred well; but the water soon returned and the miracle ended
The excavation revealed that the bathing pool was installed as noted in the eighteenth century and the stone was a remodelling from the nineteenth century. Mackenzie (1837) in his Historical, Topographical and Descriptive view of the county of Northumberland states:
“St. Mary’s Well, in this village, which has as many steps down to it as there are articles in the creed..The Holy Well and shrine at this place were anciently in high estimation. Gray says in his chronography “with great confluence and devotion people came from all parts of this island to the shrine of the Virgin Mary” Bourne also observes, it all parts of the island to worship at it
Today, services are still held at the chapel, namely the first Sunday of May, where pilgrims still go to the well and collect its clear and healing waters. Brewis (1928) confusingly notes that:
The well itself is now underground, but the north end of the stone head is still visible.”
5–9 March 2023– Cairo, The Global Strategy to improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics (GSARS), hosted by FAO Statistics Division, aims to significantly increase the availability and quality of agricultural and rural statistics by developing the relevant institutional, human and financial capacities. In the framework of the Phase II of the GSARS the technical assistance package on Master Sampling Frames (MSF) was proposed to 13 beneficiary countries including Egypt.
One of the key activities of the MSF package is a training on sampling design, weighting, and estimations.
The main objective of the workshop is to provide in-depth training on sampling and estimations procedures for agricultural surveys. Specifically the training will cover: Sampling procedures: sample design, sample size calculation, stratification and allocation, sample selections procedures, Adjustments of sampling weights (weighting), Estimations of parameters (means, proportions, total…), and Estimations of sampling errors (variance, coefficient of variation, confidence interval…)

"The finest fast bowler that ever drew breath."
In his own estimation, and mine.
So, this is S.K.
He is 1-2 years old, by my vet's best estimation. Has had his rabies, Feline Leukemia, and upper respiratory vaccinations. Tested negative for FIV/FL, and for all parasites. He is a medium-haired black cat (with one white spot on his throat), with a luxurious tail. He is un-neutered. I cannot keep him, I'm already at the maximum number of animals allowed by my lease.
He showed up in my parking lot, off Meridian Road, on 9/12. After a week of combing craigslist, the animal shelter, all local vets, and putting up fliers, I am giving up on finding his old owners, and just trying to find someone to give him a home.
He is the sweetest boy. All he wants to do is cuddle and make biscuits and headbutt.
Free to a good home.

Kyoto ou Kyōto Prononciation du titre dans sa version originale Écouter (京都市, Kyōto-shi?, littéralement « ville capitale ») est une ville japonaise de la région du Kansai, au centre de Honshū. Elle fut de 794 à 1868 la capitale impériale du Japon, sous le nom de Heian-kyō ("Capitale de la paix et de la tranquillité"). Elle est aujourd'hui la capitale de la préfecture de Kyoto ainsi que l'une des grandes villes de la zone métropolitaine Keihanshin (Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto). Sa population est de 1,47 million d'habitants (estimations 2015).
Bien que des preuves archéologiques permettent d'affirmer que les premiers hommes, présents sur les îles du Japon, il y a plus de 50 000 ans comme chasseurs-cueilleurs, furent ensuite parmi les premiers potiers du monde dès le XVe millénaire av. J.-C., la région de Kyoto ne fut peuplée qu'à partir du VIIe siècle par le clan Hata venu de Corée. Au cours du VIIIe siècle, voulant s'éloigner de l'influence du clergé bouddhiste au sein du gouvernement impérial, l'Empereur prit la décision de déplacer la capitale depuis l'actuelle Nara vers une région éloignée de cette influence.
La nouvelle ville, Heiankyō (lit. « la capitale de la Paix ») devint le siège de la cour impériale en 794. Plus tard, la ville fut rebaptisée Kyoto (« la ville capitale »). Elle développa deux quartiers spécifiques : le quartier sud où se situait le palais impérial et la cour ; le quartier où le Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga plaça en 1378 sa résidence dans le 'Hana no Gosho' (ou Muromachi-dono, Karasumaru-dono) du quartier de Muromachi. Cela donnera par ailleurs le nom de la Période Muromachi de l'histoire de l'archipel. Le shogun se fit également construire le Pavillon d'Or Kinkaku-ji dans le nord de la ville. Par la suite, la ville fut véritablement dévastée par les armées lors de la guerre d'Onin, abandonnée en grande partie par ses habitants et livrée au pillage de 1467 à 1477. En 1489, le shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga se fit construire l'une des merveilles architecturales du Japon : le Pavillon d'Argent (Ginkaku-ji) qui voulait rivaliser avec le Pavillon d'Or construit par son grand-père Yoshimitsu Ashikaga.
L'avènement du shogunat Tokugawa en 1600 fit perdre à Kyoto son rôle de centre politique et administratif au profit d'Edo, lieu de résidence des shoguns. Toutefois, Kyoto resta la capitale impériale du Japon jusqu'au transfert de la résidence de l'Empereur à Edo en 1868, lors de la restauration de Meiji. Après qu'Edo fut rebaptisée Tokyo (signifiant « la capitale de l'Est »), Kyoto fut connue peu de temps sous le nom de Saikyō (« la capitale de l'Ouest »).
Epargnée par les bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Kyoto échappa de peu à la destruction atomique, car la ville figurait en tête des cibles désignées par le comité des objectifs américain. La ville fut finalement rejetée à la suite de l'intervention du secrétaire de la Guerre des États-Unis Henry Lewis Stimson et de conseillers, dont le Français Serge Elisseeff, qui connaissaient la richesse culturelle de la ville, et estimèrent que sa destruction serait un obstacle grave à une réconciliation ultérieure avec le Japon.
Les monuments historiques de l'ancienne Kyoto (villes de Kyoto, Uji et Ōtsu) ont été inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco en 1994. En 1997, Kyoto accueillit la conférence qui donna naissance au Protocole de Kyoto.
Kyoto (京都市 Kyōto-shi, pronounced [kʲoːꜜto] (About this sound listen), pronounced [kʲoːtoꜜɕi] (About this sound listen); UK: /kɪˈoʊtoʊ/, US: /kiˈoʊ-/, or /ˈkjoʊ]) is a city located in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. It has a population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the Imperial capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, it is now the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture located in the Kansai region, as well as a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. Kyoto is also known as the thousand-year capital.
