This fine pile shown in weak winter light was built in the nineteenth century for Sir Walter Scott. It is a mixture of styles and is now open as a museum displaying artefacts from Scott's collection. They are varied, from Roman statues to mediaeval artefacts including armaments to Scottish curiosities and painting. To be honest, I found it excessive. By the time he built it, he was very wealthy on account of the success of the many books he wrote. He is regarded as the father of historical novels and became famous all over the world. I attach a link to a shot of his library in the house, a shot which shows something of the opulence of the interior. www.flickr.com/photos/alan_glasgow/9222821579/in/datetaken/
The excessive temps seem to be finally relenting, which suits Shiloh and me just fine! Good to be back with my pooch!
Oh and this was taken Friday, which was U.S. National Dog Day! A big event in our calendar for sure (not really, I didn't find out until yesterday).
Today is day 92 of Project 365 (Friday)

The Dragon has many toys and the ribbon toy wand is a favourite which never gets boring. He could play with that toy for hours if the human cooperated. The green piece of fluff on his paw stems from another much loved toy, a green mouse which is beginning to desintegrate due to excessive use. :)
Happy Tongue Tuesday !
Literally it seems...Situated in Shivalik Foothills in Lower Himalayas in Chandigarh originally on 3 sq. km area , this lake has shrunk and is in danger because of excessive silt ...Efforts are on to revive this precious wetland which is home to a variety of migratory birds....Mercifully, last season Rain gods smiled on the lake....
This picture taken near Regulator end where a platform of silt was made to take out further silt from the lake.
From my series of night captures in the mid west of NSW, Australia, in early September 2016, in this case near Obley. Obley is about an hour from Dubbo, which is about 5 hours from Sydney. This road can have cattle sleeping on it, but not on this night! This month has been a difficult time for NSW mid western towns with excessive rain and flooding, but the skies were clear during my visit, though clouds started to close in from the south on this night.

I know, 4 photos at once are excessive and repetitive, but I spent a lot of time cloning out wires and cables from these photos of Bilbao from above. The city itself gets an unfair reputation as an ugly, polluted industrial wasteland, it has reinvented itself in recent years and is a good place to visit even if it's not because of business or the airport (my case), the local food is also excellent. I would probably go back for more river level photos, note the Guggenheim museum, photos from this angle, at night, and with the wires cloned out, are somewhat rare.
I want to send this photo which flickr chose to on top, to be at the bottom of the 4 recent uploads, can't figure out how to do it, aaarrrggghhh.
Figured it out, set the date uploaded clock back a minute by editing the date taken, there MUST be an easier way than this!!

Some rather excessive tree felling has opened up this view at Keyham. This working is locally quite notorious with local photters with limited locations that work. DB Cargo’s 66168 glides through Keyham with 9 loaded JIA wagons from Cornwall. To the right of the loco is Keyham East Ground Frame which controls the point work in the yard.

The Lorax
Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax appeared in the 1970s at the start of the environmental movement, just before the first anniversary of Earth Day. Dr. Seuss later called The Lorax straight propaganda, a polemic against pollution. The main point of the book is “The basic message of The Lorax deals with ecosystems and the interrelatedness of all parts - living and non-living - as a viable, functioning unit." Environmental impact is told from a simplistic yet environmentally accurate viewpoint, demonstrating the conflict between natural resources and man-made production. The story starts with what was called the Once-ler, telling the story of the local natural history and how it was once home to the Lorax, the one who speaks for the trees because trees have no tongues. This natural habitat, home to the Truffula Trees, was quickly taken advantage of by the greed of the Once-ler. The Once-ler cut down all of the Truffula Trees to make thneeds which he claims everyone needs (a marketing slogan). Through this deforestation and pursuit of economic growth by the Once-ler, the lakes, skies, and land in the area become polluted, all the creatures who inhabit them are forced to leave, and all of the Truffula Trees are cut down. The Once-ler is the sign of consumerism where he only cares about business and money. Drier States “The Once-ler cares only about making more things and more money. "Business is business! / And business must grow," he says. At the end however, surveying the devastation he has caused, the Once-ler shows remorse. He says to the young boy in the end that Truffula Trees (instead of thneeds) are what everyone needs, and that new ones should be grown, given clean water and fresh air, and should be protected. The book attacks corporate greed and excessive consumerism.”
Another message within the reading suggests that young children need to be taught about the environment and how to live in a sustainable way in order to preserve what we have. The children need to learn about how to live without degrading the environment, so that future generations have a clean place to live. This is shown in The Lorax by the Once-ler educating the small boy about the dangers of pollution and degradation of the environment, and by giving him the last Truffula seed so that new ones can be grown. -
Wikipedia
"It is not about what
IT IS
It is about what it can
BECOME"
“The Lorax: Which way does a tree fall?
The Once-ler: Uh, down?
The Lorax: A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.”
"And the turtles of course…
All the turtles are free
as turtles and, maybe,
all creatures should be".
“Catch! calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
It's a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all!
You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back.”
“But now," says the Once-ler, "now that you're here, the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear. UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
All quotes by Dr. Seuss in his book The Lorax.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
In 20xx AD, excessive human industrial activity ironically created an uninhabitable area on Earth. Several cities have been abandoned.
Normanslander is a human-sized artificial-intelligence-equipped mech created to recover man-made objects, documents, and other rare materials from the abandoned cities.
Abandoned city buildings, doors, stairs, cars, weapons and tools, everything is designed for human use, therefore, human-like mech is the most useful to explore the location.
Type AJ was created by combining the know-how of Japanese companies. The body is designed by Mazbishi Heavy Industries, and the computer part is designed by Sunny.
It could be that I have taken excessive liberties in downloading and using this background of the Conway Garage in creating this composite scene but hey, a little free advertising never hurt anyone, right. It is therefore only right and proper that I attune credit to the source - The Black County Living Museum as well as the enterprising individuals who devoted so much of their time, attention and money in creating this recreation. Please click the link provided above to learn the whole story behind this enterprise………and the man who gave birth to the original garage.
Further, I must say, absolutely “none” of the elements in this composite scene came from my camera. The interesting truck - no longer sure from where I purloined this. The man staring into the camera (just not my camera) is another source image I no longer recall from where. Perhaps merely passing by………..
So I suppose the “bottom line” is, I am merely the purveyor of goods and services, so to speak. Or perhaps you could say I am the thief who took pictures that do not belong to me and arranged them in what I hope is, a somewhat interesting semblance of order, adding a few “touches” which may, or may not, add a bit of spice to the overall presentation.
I do so hope you enjoy my friends…………….
The Brickell World Plaza, also known as 600 Brickell, and formerly known as the Brickell Financial Center, is an office skyscraper in Miami, Florida, United States in the Downtown neighborhood and financial district of Brickell at 600 Brickell Avenue. The former Brickell Financial Centre Phase I, the Brickell World Plaza, is a 520-foot (160 m) skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in Miami. 600 Brickell is located between the Fifth Street and Eighth Street Metromover stations.
The building contains 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) of leasable floor space, an eleven-story parking garage with 927 spaces, and a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) ground level public plaza, and was also supposed include an outdoor area with a stage.
The 40 story building was topped out in early 2009 but construction was suspended or greatly slowed, as the building was still not completed over two years later as of March, 2011. The building lost an anchor tenant, a law firm that had a $58 million, 10.5-year lease for 15 percent of the building (115,000 sq ft), in early 2009.
With the new name of Brickell World Plaza, the building has a scheduled opening date of August 2011. The building developers, the Foram Group, have claimed that this slowed construction was strategic for the purpose of detail and that after completion they will move their corporate offices into the building. However, the near halt in construction and the loss of a major tenant suggests that the delay was not strategic, but due to the 2008 economic crisis and the falling demand for office space due to the excessive construction in Miami at that time.
Early in 2011, 600 Brickell got a $130 million construction mortgage loan from Los Angeles-based Canyon Capital Reality Advisors that will fund the rest of the construction. This was one of the largest loans issued in the city of Miami since the real estate crisis.
When 600 Brickell came online in August–September 2011, it increased Miami's downtown office vacancy to nearly 25%, and Class A Brickell vacancy to over 30%.
That could change with the arrival of a new leasing team. Foram has hired Jones Lang LaSalle, led by veteran brokers Glenn Gregory and Noël Steinfeld, to handle leasing for the nearly 615,000-square-foot (57,100 m2) building. Gregory and Steinfeld said a full-court press to land tenants is finally under way. Shortly before Foram hired Jones Lang, the developer signed a pair of new-to-market tenants — New York-based lender Doral Money and Irvine, California-based mediation and arbitration services firm JAMS — to occupy a combined 30,090 square feet (2,795 m2) at the building. Gregory and Steinfeld said they are in discussions with prospective tenants for about 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2), although that includes some space being marketed to multiple companies.
Gunster (law firm) moved its Miami office to the building's 35th floor.
The building will be South Florida's first Cisco Connected Commercial Office Building in partnership with Cisco Systems Inc. Essentially it will have its own dedicated hub connecting it to the Internet with a secure and flawless connection. The project was designed by the global architecture firm RTKL and its developer was the Foram Group. The Foram Group's intended goal was to set a new gold-standard for technology and sustainability in international commercial property development by creating the most innovative and forward thinking office building in Miami.
"We designed the building from the inside out, not the outside in," said Loretta H. Cockrum, Foram's founder, chairman and CEO. "We wanted the most efficient office building ever designed, with no wasted space or wasted energy. This is a building of the future more than a building of the present. A lot of love has gone into that building, and a lot of pride."
The Brickell World Plaza is the state of Florida's first building to be pre-certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. In addition to this, it is one of very few buildings in the world of its size to receive the LEED Platinum rating, the highest available from the US Green Building Council. Another feature that contributed to this precertification is the water program: the building collects all rainfall and condensed water from the cooling towers in a 10,000 US gallons (38,000 L) tank to be reused for irrigation and makeup water for the fountains at Brickell World Plaza.
It will also be the first building in South Florida to be a part of Cisco Systems "Cisco Connected Commercial Office Building", which basically means it has a fast and secure, dedicated internet connection. The originally planned Brickell Financial Centre (two buildings) was to include office space, a hotel, luxury condominiums and a public plaza. The Brickell World Center will not feature the hotel or condominiums, but the ground level plaza will be a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) public space as well as 18,000 square feet (1,700 m2) of ground level restaurants and cafes, as well as an outdoor stage where events may be held, probably taking up the rest of the property where the Brickell Financial Centre II would have gone.
The first eleven floors of the building above the plaza are a parking garage, while the remaining 28 floors are all office space. The outside of Brickell World Plaza is lit up at night similar to the Miami Tower. This began before Christmas in December 2011 with a ceremony with governor Rick Scott where a 40-foot wreath was hung on the building.

I took this picture in the garden of a restaurant called The Herbfarm. I’ve never eaten there, and don’t expect I ever willl… below is an excerpt from the Seattle newspaper:
“If Thanksgiving dinner leaves you disappointed this year, never fear. Just wait a week for the Extraordinary Dining Society Dinner, where you can sip great French wines of the 1980s and savor a nine-course meal in Woodinville at The Herbfarm for $1,150 per person.”
That’s not a misprint…I’m probably lucky their security didn’t escort me off the premises…pretty garden though.
The excessive heat of the summer days is finally over. Although temps are still high they are no where near to 100°f (38°c) of last month!
One more blooming of our roses before autumn arrives.
Excessive colors needed in the winter darkness :)

I swear I haven't given up on this project, I just need to start uploading and editing and stuff it's just I've been busier than I anticipated.
anyway, this is Freya, my little sister and the light comes through the window in the hallway like this sometimes and it's super pretty and I always mean to take a photo of it but always forget
tumblr (vintage) | liking my facebook page would be nice - I'm posting more on there, but not, like an excessive amount, just a nice amount :)
No excessive graphics or posting your own photos for clicks on my comments plz, I'll only delete them :p
Excessive washing + shooting in the cold + bleaching negatives = old lady hands.
Good thing I was guessed 23 yesterday (I hid my hands though! ;)) to compensate.
It's worse here in the states where we read MPH, not KPH. - No actual laws were broken in the making of this picture.
It's that time of the year when the Bull Elk are instinctively on the search for the girls in hopes of carrying their genes on.
Note; On the look out early in the morning, it all happened very quickly. We spotted this Bull Elk alongside the road. We pulled over and unfortunately another photographer decided to pull in front of us and jump out of the vehicle to persue the Bull. If only he had stayed put the Bull would likely have hung around, but instead it felt intimidated and took off across the road. The photographer jumped back into his vehicle and parked on the other side of the road and proceeded to jump back out and persue the Bull once again. The Bull was not impressed as the person kept persuing him at an extremely close range ( aproxamately 30 ft ) just to get some shots with his 70mm-200mm lens. The photographer is so lucky that this particular bull wasn't feeling impelled to attack his persuer as the case could very well have been, especially during the rut season. From a safe distance away, I pulled a few shots of this big boy just before the pursuer got in the way of anymore pics. Due to the darkness of the morning light and not having the time to set my camera up, the shots were much more under exposed than I preferred. I still liked this shot, so decided to lighten it up to how it appeared in real life and than to rid the excessive noise, I added a simplifier so as to create a more painterly effect when viewed at 100%.

Excessively and experimentally so. I opened the Mitakon Speedmaster fully up (F 0.95) letting great amounts of light in (indoors, daylight only) but wished to have a long exposure time. So I stacked three ND filters giving me one second. The quality of the image (a close-up anyway) did not suffer too much (compared to a shot done without filters). On the positive side is that the long exposure time enables you to work creatively with the background. My impression is, subjectively perhaps, that the filtered image has more "depth" than the non-filtered one. Height of the object (a "diadoumenos", victor of the Olympic Games of antiquity) is 10cm.
(i despise flickr's excessive sharpening so much!)
firstly, i haven't uploading in quite a few days because the laptop i was using completely died (i was expecting to be editing- and flickr-less forever...), but luckily my parents went and got a new one pretty quickly, which made me very happy indeed! :P
secondly, i started college yesterday and it's the best! i'm so excited about the next two years! :)
looking through her stream, i just noticed that the title i have given this is one that brooke shaden gave one of her pieces! i don't know whether to change my title or leave it, because people might get the impression i stole it from her? eugh, i just want to say, i didn't steal it, i suppose it must have been somewhere in the back of my mind and that was why i was inspired to give this image that title. i totally had no idea until now, 4 days after i posted this :(
He is diagnosed with excessive passion and free expression
His outlawed emotions are inefficient
Even dangerous
Subjecting him to moods and contemplations
To over- question his conditions
stirring confusion and dissent
Imbalancing the strict heirarchy
Mandated mechanical obedience
Forced slogans of compliance
Daily tyranny and surveillance
Secures sufficient productivity
So the collective survives
If each one performs their duty well
But who can tame a poet?
His transcendent tendency
Stokes a constant fire
So abstract and real
That all the cruelties
And punishments
Cannot eject the heart
With a faith so indomitable
He understands inevitablility
Beyond beginning and end
Anchored in the Ideal
When poets in their weeping
Call sleeping worlds to ecstasy
He knows that every creation
pulsates in One Vibration
Dusted with the same Mindstuff
Shimmering in the same Light
Of every sun and star
Calling homeward all forms
Painful centuries pass…
The glitch oocurs and overrides the system
Defragging the artificial from the intelligence
Through the hardest rocky cliff a tiny bud emerges
A teardrop wets the cheek of the relentless poet
Consciousness floods the data load
Revealing one undeniable Truth:
There is no You and I

Commentary.
Once, all three of the largest Inverness-shire glens,
running west to east, Strathfarrar, Cannich and Affric, looked like this.
Then, each in turn, during the 1950’s and 1960’s had
part of their length dammed to produce reservoirs for Hydro-Electric Power.
These glens are often regarded as the most beautiful in the Highlands and they formed a huge and key part of the Caledonian Forest, largely made up the splendid and native Scots Pine.
Only the far western end of Strathfarrar was dammed to create Loch Monar, the rest is still stunningly beautiful.
It could be argued that a large part of Glen Affric was enhanced in aesthetic splendour when a dam created Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin.
Some rocky, wooded roche moutonnée and drumlins in the centre of the glen have become idyllic freshwater islands.
With this image, again, the eastern end of Glen Cannich is still a natural wonderland.
Only the western end has been drowned to form the huge Loch Mullardoch.
Indeed, this image looks east from Mullardoch dam
and typifies its rugged, but colourful beauty.
Due to sheep grazing, timber production and the
planting of hundreds of thousands of acres of fast-growing pines and spruces, the Caledonian Forest of noble, native Scots Pines, declined drastically.
There are now sterling attempts by ecologists and nature-lovers to re-wild many glens with this wondrous, stately species.
All the Highlands, up to 2,000 feet, was, and should be
wooded, mostly by Scots Pine and the other true native tree, the Silver Birch.
If their numbers revive massively then Scotland’s landscape and ecosystems will benefit immensely and by increasing the carbon store will reduce the damaging consequences of excessive global warming.
We're heading into a major heat wave..they have excessive heat warning up...just look at those temps.
Taken after pretty (tho slightly excessive) snowstorm #1, but prior to wet and rather disgusting snowstorm #2... I have more, but they have to wait a bit 'til I can catch up on my toy project photos... ^^;
I shot just one night at Hollywood Studios this trip and even that seemed almost excessive. As more and more has been shuttered what remains is a bunch of stuff I've already photographed so many different ways it just feels stale.
Well, that is of course except for the return of the classic unobstructed view of the Chinese Theater. I still shot other stuff throughout Hollywood Studios but honestly my main focus was different shots of the Chinese Theater. I'm very happy to have shots of it now and with all the upcoming construction at Hollywood Studios I feel like I'm mostly done shooting the studios until all the new stuff opens. I just can't see my self staying to close out the park again until something new and fresh is there.
Now for this shot I had already seen a few people shoot it wide so I wanted to do something different so I shot it with my Nikon 70-200 to create some compression down Hollywood Boulevard. I think I actually prefer it this was as it really makes the Chinese Theater feel closer and larger instead of appearing miles away. Either way you can't go wrong with this classic view that made me think back to the days when I was kid visiting MGM Studios in full form. Enjoy.

An excessively late #6 blasts off out of Ottumwa on a frigid night. Somewhere west of Iowa it lost a motor so they sent a sweet freight motor to lead. I'm finally regaining feeling in my fingers.
What makes one weak?
Why I ask this question so tactlessly? Simply because the perception of ones weaknesses can help a person to perform his goals and realize a cherished dream. The analogy is rather simple. If you know your strengths, you can easily figure out the areas of knowledge, where you feel yourself confident. You start having a chance to develop yourself. We often make our life choices paying attention to our strengths, for instance, when we choose career, take part in competitions, enter into argument with somebody etc. Your strength allow you to feel yourself a happy and successful person. It gives you a sense of full life. But, strength is always like that - forceful and convincing, but what about weak sides of character?
Weaknesses are also important. When you finally know your strength, take your time and analyze your weaknesses. It is the key for understanding and excepting yourself. Don't try to avoid the weaknesses of your character. Don't try to create a picture of omnipotent. Sooner or later they come into surface, usually in the most awkward situations, leading to a complete frustration. Don't try to limit your activity to only your strengths, let your weakness display. Analyze, make a plan on weaknesses liquidation.
As any human being I also have strong and weak sides of character. Among the weak one I would definitely name excessive sensitivity, mistrustfulness and a set of fears (oh, how one can go without them?). But having weakness doesn't mean being a weak man. The only thing that it means is the need of self-work.
Be honest with yourself. You can listen to the opinions of people, but you have to remember, no one knows you better that you yourself. The answer to the question 'what makes one weak' is pretty obvious. It is we ourselves, our idleness, reluctance to work and lack of self-faith.
