While along the roadside around the El Capitan Shuttle - Stop in Yosemite National Park with a view looking north-northwest and upward to El Capitan. My thinking in composing this image was to capture the full grandeur of the peak and ridges around that part of the national park. I also wanted to ensure that the North American shape was present in what I captured. It was only later that I came to realize that there were people coming down the cliff-face. Given this is a wider angle view, one would have to zoom in to about 400% to catch the little people figures or their equipment coming down.

The chassis with steering is based on 6895 Spy Trak.
The rover is equipped with two scanning devices in the front and a claw and a laser in the back.
The crew consists of a driver and two scientists.
Caroline makes the final adjustments in her rear-view mirror. She's nervous and tense, but she's thinking it over.
GPS and Google Maps are great but to explore the blue highways, you need an old-fashioned paper map.
The Dragonfly Exploration Drone is sent to places in which man can not easily traverse. The drone comes equipped with an HD camera with a 200x zoom capacity, 3 stabilizing legs, 4 highly maneuverable, ultra light wings, and to front claws for gathering specimens if need be.
A Japanese Spider Chrysanthemum, again; a different type.
The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)
Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.
They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the centre of diversity is in China.
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.
The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.
For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration.
A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.
The Japanese hold this flower as the symbol of the sun.
Wishing you a day full of good light and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

So at last, we're on our way all together for an exploration of the Mumbles and Oystermouth, the area towards Swansea. The whole of the 5 mile seafront between the Mumbles and Swansea is attractive and there is greenery most of the way along, with parks here and there. This isn't far from our apartment. Tim stops to give Harbie a treat.
The antarctic research vessel Peuerto Deseado harbouring near the Argentinian polar research station Orcadas Base, on the South Orkne y Islands. It's been seeking shelter in the wake of this giant rock from a giant storm the night before.
This is the starting point for Roald Amundsen’s expeditions to the North Pole. You can still see the mooring mast that the airship “Norge” was docked with. This was also the starting point for the dramatic North Pole expedition of the Italian Umberto Nobile, whose airship crashed when returning from the pole point. Half of the onboard crew died in the crash, but Nobile miraculously survived the crash and was later rescued.
The incredible roof at Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista in Racconigi, Northern Italy.
This was shot in a small town whilst we stopped for lunch between locations on our recent UE tour of the country. The trip was full of adventure and the odd scary moment but as always worth every penny and ounce of effort invested. The best part for me was having the power of the jaw dropping Pentax 645Z with me, kindly loaned by the fab people at Ricoh Imaging UK. The detail the camera produces is nothing short of breathtaking! More pictures to come over the next weeks and months.
