I saw this church and thought that I need to shoot it. Almost regret that today as I accidentally dropped my 24-105 f4 L on the road... still waiting for an estimation of the repair cost...
Ednath Ventorin hunted The Blood Beast. Not because he wanted to; in fact, he hated his life. He was in pain every single of the few remaining days he had left.
It all started a couple months ago. He was a farmer... a simple man compared to you or I, with a simple wife and two simple daughters.
And then there was Verrin. His youngest son was most decidedly not simple, in fact he tended to complicate things. Verrin spent his time in the city, an unhealthy amount of time according to his family's estimation, and he ran with the wrong crowds.
He soon grew angry and cold, and he seldom finished his chores, and when Ednath informed his son that he was not to go to town any more, much less at night... well even the Finney family down the lane heard their fight out behind the silo. What the Finneys didn't witness was Verrin lift up the thresher over his head, with the intention to crush his father.
Ednath looked up at his son in fear, he had seen The Blood Beast before in someone, but he never expected it would hit his own line, much less infecting his only son!
Verrin stared down, and suddenly a look came into him through his inhuman rage. His eyes flashed with fear... or was it shame? Before the great clatter of the thresher hitting the ground had reached the Finney's farm, Verrin had literally evaporated into the night sky.
Ednath stared into the stars where his son... no... not his son anymore he forced himself to realize... another cursed Blood Beast had stood only seconds ago. He waited for another moment as the shock lifted from him. He took no time to wonder how it had happened, which woman or man it had been in town that had brought the curse into HIS family. He pulled himself up and began running.
He ran past the barn, past the old tomato patch, past the chicken shack, paused at the back door of his home long enough to tell his wife Sira to hide with the girls in the basement, not to come out until the sky was blue again. Then he continued running, but this time it was via his horse's steady gallop down the lane into town.
When he arrived in town, Ednath pulled out his only weapon, an old spark-sword left over from his time in the Royal Airship Force, back before he learned the benefits of living simple. He knew the sword wasn't charged up and so was nearly useless against The Blood Beast, and so he slowly ran it across his pinky finger. As it cut through his flesh, the blade began to ring with an unearthly tone and glow with a pinkish light. He winced after a moment and pulled away the blade from his now grey and shriveled finger.
"That's enough to get started..." he muttered to the spark-sword and loped off toward the curio shop.
The curio shop door slammed open an hour later, Ednath nearly falling into the room, his clothed tattered, his face covered in bloody scratches. The shop keep started and looked up at the man with a now brightly glowing green sword that shot off small shoots of energy around it.
"I need you to sell me a Parasitic Respite Pendant. Please, tell me you have one!" Ednath growled.
The shop keep turned around and grabbed a broom, "I had one a couple days ago..." the keep said as he began sweeping, "I sold it."
Ednath narrowed his eyes at the keep in suspicion, "Well, tell me who you sold it to, I will offer them everything I have!"
"Won't help you." the keep turned and smirked at him, "I sold it to a lady who dimension smuggles... there's no way to contact her."
Ednath stared at the corpulent man as he swept. He could tell the keep was trying to hold back a smirk. "How could you do that!?" the farmer yelled indignantly, "Its illegal to allow curative items to leave the citystate, much less the damned planet!"
"Why would I want a Parasitic Respite in my shop?" the keep broke out in the smile he was holding back and took a defiant step nearer to Ednath and his sword.
"I've had The Blood Beast in me for months and I've never felt better!" The store keep bellowed as he pulled the long black blade out of the secret hiding spot in his broom and lunged at Ednath.
Their battle lasted into the bright morning light.

This is a fairly regular rant from me. I love seeing a girl in corsets, and don't get me wrong, a teeny weeny waist is a delight to behold, but not as important as the shape it imparts to her body. One estimation of the ideal waist size is (boobs + hips) / 4. A girl with bodacious curves and a 22" waist is more attractive to me than a stick insect with a 16" waist.
Flanking the center stone are trapezoidal shaped diamonds. I had to pull out the book o' formulas of weight estimation to do this one.
I regard courage as the supreme human virtue, and this lovely and remarkable young woman has it. This is Miss Angie, a dance instructor at the Fred Astaire studio in Chandler, Arizona, whom I met several weeks ago when I signed up for lessons, which at first were for me and later included my wife. Angie quickly earned both my affection and respect, and her stature, in my estimation, only continues to grow. I believe in angels, both the supernatural and mortal varieties, and she has become the latest one to bless and enrich my life.
Angie is only 26 years old, but has battled some major health problems during the course of her young life. She told me when I enrolled in the course that she had undergone a serious bout of clinical depression, during which she gained about 65 pounds and moved in with her father, where she intended to just sort of give up on life. Someone persuaded her to take up dancing once again, which she did, and she credits it withsaving her life. Angie has also had two heart attacks, including a massive one which occurred during a public event and nearly gained the upper hand.
I'm sure Angie had moments when she indulged in self-pity, which most of us do at one time or another. (I certainly have.) But she never made that a permanent part of her life. She is blessed with a vibrant and outgoing personality, and talent galore, all of which she has used to enrich the lives of other people -- obviously including myself. She told me last weekend that she wants to have children someday, and does what she must to ensure that she will be around for them.
I hope this and the other two pictures of Angie that I am posting today will get a lot of views, less for whatever technical or artistic merit they might have than for the story which accompanies the images. I commend her example to one and all, as one who refused to be defeated by life, but instead picked herself up and embraced it. And my, how she did embrace it!
As a footnote, I took this series of pictures at the dance studio after Sheila and I had a lesson with Angie. (She is teaching a group class here.) I wanted something that would capture her personality and joie de vivre, and I believe I had some success with that. I'm sure Angie would pose for me, but she is so busy all the time that I have never had the opportunity to ask her to do so.

We all know how to attract Butterflies, but how do we attract moths? I'll tell you how with a little info too:
It is a surprise to many people to learn that there are at least five times as many kinds of moths in the world as there are butterflies. By most estimations butterfly species number about 20,000. But there are at least 165,000 distinct types of moths — and perhaps twice that number, according to some entomologists.
We see more butterflies more often because we and the butterflies are diurnal — we operate on a daytime schedule and rest at night. Most moths, on the other hand, are strictly night fliers and hide during the day, disguised as bird droppings, dead leaves, lichens or tree bark.
So we catch, collect and photograph butterflies, and even cultivate special gardens to attract and nourish them. Meanwhile, the far more numerous and diverse moths, like most of nature’s nocturnal beings, get little attention from slumber-prone wildlife watchers.
That’s too bad, for few insect families boast as many lovely members. There is the delicate pale-green Luna, the pastel-hued rosy maple moth, the owl-eye spotted Io, the spectacular tawny-winged Polyphemus. There are the huge sphinxes, the brown- or silver-spotted tigers, the tree-bark-camouflaged underwings.
Because moths are furtive and often inconspicuous, getting a close look calls for a little trickery. A light (or better yet, a black light) with a sheet draped in front of it and over the ground below will attract a variety of interesting moths. Set the light trap in the darkest possible place.
But sugaring for moths is a more traditional (and, I think, enjoyable) method — and one that doesn’t tether you to an electric outlet. In moth-watcher language, “sugar” is a bait or attractant, a gooey home-brewed mixture of assorted sweet and fermented ingredients for which night fliers have a fondness. There are all sorts of sugar recipes — indeed, part of the fun of sugaring is experimenting with your own concoctions. Here is a classic, proven formula:
3 to 6 overripe bananas
½ to 1 cup molasses, corn syrup, honey or sugar
1 to 2 cups orange juice or other fruit juice
1 or 2 bottles stale beer
1 to 2 ounces rum
Mash or blend the bananas first, then stir in the sugary ingredients. Add the liquids last, a little at a time, until the mixture is about as thick as house paint. If it becomes too thin, just add another banana or two. Finally, put the mixture in a jar or bowl, cover it and leave it to ferment in the sun for a few hours.
Remember that this is just a basic recipe, open to all sorts of improvisation. Some cooks don’t include alcoholic ingredients, and instead add apple cider vinegar to the brew. Others swear by certain liquors (my local moths prefer Ron Bacardi) or kinds of juices that mimic those of local fruit trees (cherry and apple juices are popular). In any case, the objective is to produce a highly aromatic, cloyingly sweet and somewhat potent goo.
Now you’re ready to go “sugaring.” The best nights for attracting moths are cloudy, warm and still. In late afternoon or early evening, before sunset, go out and paint an 8-inch-square (or so) patch of sugar on tree trunks or other objects — fence posts, rocks, whatever — in promising moth territory. Usually, the best places are in open woods or in edge habitat, where trees or bushes meet a clearing of some sort: a lawn, a meadow, a driveway. Be aware, however, that moth sugar can leave a stain.on’t paint it on prized yard trees or other conspicuous landscape elements.
Several hours later, in the darkest part of the night, go back with a flashlight to check your “traps.” With luck, you should see at least one or two moths on each patch of sugar. Mind you, not all sugaring expeditions are successful — perhaps the weather or the site you picked isn’t right, or maybe your latest sugar recipe is a dud. But more often than not, you will be treated to a close-up look at some astonishingly beautiful and interesting creatures. Many moth species that are attracted to sugar are especially big and beautiful.
Perhaps because they’re too busy sipping — or, if you’ve served them a cocktail, because they’re a tad besotted — moths at a sugaring site tend to stay put when you approach. They are easily caught — but I prefer simply to study them where they are, using my flashlight and a field guide for on-the-spot identification. (If your flashlight’s too bright, put some red cellophane or tissue paper over the lens, or just hold your hand over it, to keep the light from disturbing the moths.)
Incidentally, a variety of other interesting insects, beetles especially, also are attracted to moth sugar. Don’t miss your opportunity to get a close look at these visitors, too.

By my estimation, Kerosene Creek is one of the most pleasant places on the planet. I measured the stream temperature at 105.7 degrees F. The waterfall is about nine feet high and the pool about four feet deep. The atmosphere near the stream has a faint smell of petroleum but that isn't the source of the smell. The stream drains a thermal area. It is a very popular place and damn difficult to take a photo of the falls without 20 people in there. My photographic window was very short.

A child in rags on the streets is a common sight in India. We can see them working at a tea stall, selling cheap toys on the traffic signal, sometimes performing dangerous acrobatics or worse begging for a few coins. The sight is so common that we see through this brutal cruelty.
Have we ever thought how would we feel if the child on the street was one of our own?

10 YEARS THALYS
Today it is exactly 10 years ago I started to work as a Train Manager for Thalys. Some facts and estimations: More than 1800 working days on board of the Thalys, travelled more than 1,2 milion kilometers (30 times around our planet Earth), bringing around 1 milion passengers to their destination, checked more than 600,000... tickets. And 367 overnights (most of them in Paris, but also in Marseille and the French Alpes).
Eversion by Alastair Reynolds (science fiction - 2022-08-24 - review #0952)
Alastair Reynolds novel "Eversion" [2022] is, in my estimation, ultimately not an entirely enjoyable reading experience. It sounds like I am damning with faint praise, well in fact I am. Reynolds grabbed this readers attention with a riveting opening section concerning a doctor posted on a sailing ship who writes weird fiction to pass the time and his interactions with a decidedly strange crew. The doctor surreptitiously snorts opium laced snuff as he deals with reoccurring nightmares and a mysterious voyage seeking an alien fortress in icy Norwegian waters. This section of the novel was exceptional; unfortunately, the rest of the story does not live up to its beginnings. As the time frame shifts and the plot which just plods along from this point on, my interest in the story waned. I get the impression this was a much shorter story idea that was inflated to novel length.
Certainly, I've read most of his novels - that the reason I read this book. After all, even marginal Reynolds is worth reading!

This photo was taken in October, 1990 with a disposable camera on a trip to NYC for the marathon. The towers did hold a commanding place on the Manhattan skyline. The ferry was going to Ellis and Liberty Islands which are in my estimation far greater symbols of the US.
According to initial estimates, some 500 000 hectares of standing crops have also been destroyed by the winds and subsequent flooding, raising concerns regarding the food security situation over the next few months.

Incheon's Seobu Industrial Complex is a large scale industrial complex erected over reclaimed land. It is surrounded by Cheongna International City to the west, Cheolma Mountain to the east, Asian Games Stadium and Gyeongin Ara Waterway to the north, and Incheon's central metropolitan area and Songdo International City to the south.
Currently in 2015, Incheon city's total debt amounts to thirteen trillion won because of immoderate business ventures initiated by poor estimation of demands. 2014's Asian Games hosted in Incheon is an example of this. Despite the estimation that the hosting of the Asian Games would yield twenty trillion won in profit, the city's debt only grew by one trillion won after the Asian Games had ended while the stadiums built for the Asian Games cost a hundred and fifty billion won per year to maintain because of its shoddy construction. It was also rumored that sales rate of land lots in the newly built international cities were a measly 10% due to recession while Incheon Airport became privatized because of its financial deficit. Gyeongin Ara Waterway, which cost two trillion and seven hundred billion won to build, saw only 9% container traffic following its opening.
Seobu Industrial Complex not very well known even by Incheon residents because of its isolated geopolitical location. It is a place of rare and unique aesthetics. [nightglow] is a part of a project that photographs the residential areas of Seobu Industrial Complex(from Gajeong Ogeori to Gajwa-dong) at night. Kanghyuk Lee.

Today we were treated to the opportunity of a lifetime (or at least in my estimation). We headed out to Shark Valley in Everglades NP for a morning shoot and witnessed this struggle between a gator and his intended turtle breakfast. I was firing off shots like bullets and got an entire series, but this one I wanted to put up first. The gator started in the water, grabbed the turtle by the leg, started death-rolling him, then dragged him to the bank where he continued his effort to obtain a meal. Thanks Peter HT, for the turtle ID--a softshell borttlenose turtle
The rangers said the gators have just started feeding again after a winter rest. We were just very happy he didn't want one of us for breakfast.

Since I don't want any of my Flickr friends to mourn the loss of the turtle, I'll end the suspense. Hard to believe if you saw all the frames of the struggle, but........turtle escaped with his life (minus one leg) and we all cheered
Nat,
I have this notion that this type of medium is precisely the ‘new contact’. It is generated out of that Thomas Hardy, 'because there were too many of us', idea. We are being constrained, naturally, to stand still, i.e., to stay in one place. In this way your garden can become the universal garden, and therefore mine, and my wanton ribaldry can, by extension, become yours. Cyberspace is about vicarious being. It is about a community on your desktop, it supplies sex, travel, gardens, laughter, literature, access to world news and even art. When and where do we not show a ‘fragmentary’ self? Or as Mr Elliot would have it: (You, I, We) ‘prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet’. I don’t really see this as any different. I have looked at ‘Mandarino Kid’s’ profile. I can see why you two might comply, hit it off, whatever. There is evidence of similar sensibilities in both your photostreams, evidence of reflection(s) and domestication, nursing, and constraint. There is a certain sadness in both streams too, a pathos and resignation.
You are right, of course, in recognizing that anger was one of the generators of my present situation. I see it in you too. Not so much in your photostream, where you exhibit great control, but more in the way you reach out with words. This initially frightened me somewhat. It is still something I am unsure of but still feel drawn in by your ability to dissect. I like the way you ‘pick things apart’, although I am not absolutely sure you know how to put things back together again. I am exactly the same. I am aware that I can creatively ask questions, pick things apart, but I am not always sure I can put things back together again, at least so they will work. I like that you supply some of the answer in your letter in one word, followed by an exclamation mark…Glue!
It is interesting how you write about what you like to tell others and what at the same time you tell yourself. There is a strange competition there. It feels partially about what we think we deserve, that over-estimation of the other, or is that the flattering of the other to get them to like the ‘self’. I am aware that I do this too.
As for family, I love and hate them. I am becoming more aware of our similarities, the fact that I share a genetic lineage with them. I have ignored them for 32 years so this is a type of renaissance for me. Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett are helping me a little through this. I have ‘beloved’ elsewhere in the world, like you (I suspect) this is not focused in one individual, nor would I want it to be. This gives a sense of completeness and isolation at the same time. That double-edged joy and pain of not looking for someone else to complete one, whilst at the same time realizing what this means. I think that in Flickr we are actually reaching out beyond ‘sustainability’, we might even be demanding ‘responsibility’, or at least egging each other on in that direction. It is a wonderful platform for communication. I must add that the possibility of communication is my greatest joy. I like to make people laugh and cry and wonder, putting it simply. I love people who do the same to me. I intend to keep posting on Flickr, both real and virtual work.
Best Love for now Nat.

The angle for this 9-Piece version is an estimation made between the creases for the 8-Piece module and the 10-Piece module [previous model]. As more modules are added, the centre hole of the model becomes larger and when expanded, becomes more like a ring than a pinwheel. The photos show the model in the closed and expanded form. All the modules are folded from 7.5cm squares of Korean Duo-coloured papers. Many thanks to Andrey Hechuev's 8-Piece New-Found Hope Star which has inspired me to come up with this Expandable Pinwheel Series. I am still working on the rest of the variations and will post them accordingly.
No matter which part of Bangladesh you go,a street side eatery with a swift handed, skilled cook preparing breads and snacks at one side of the entrance will not fail to grab your attention.
A rough estimation, there are more than half a million such eateries in Bangladesh featuring almost identical infrastructure and interior. Foods available in such an eatery are reasonably cheap, considering the fact that a large population greatly depend on them for regular meals. For instance, the breads featured in this photograph cost only around 4 taka ($ 0.07) each! However; the food itself and the place are generally not hygienic enough to match the appetite of many. The staggering number of the eateries proves that they have able to come up with a solution for those who have little option to choose between where they eat, good food doesn't always mean good price value. When you have limited money but feel like you could eat just about anything, you could turn to the street side king cook.
Go and take a seat. A busy bloke will come and split out a long list of available items in one single breath :-)

I'm sure Angie would pose for me, but she is so busy all the time that I have never had the opportunity to ask her to do so.
