auspicious beginnings and Goddess Lakshmi the Goddess of Wealth
Awesome Mercedes SLR McLaren in the paint of the legendary 722 Edition. Looks amazing with yellow calipers IMO. The owner seems to be really nice, he have got a Bentley Continental SuperSports Cabriolet and a Hummer H2 too.
Sorry, my latest pictures got the same angle and location, but I hope you like this shot anyway.

With the daylight dropping off so early now that we're well and truly into winter season it gives way for some really nice silhouette shots.
This one appears to have managed a quick sneaky visit into Explore at #479.

أعدك بِ أنني سـَ أستمر بإلتزام الصَمت
لن أعاتبك بشي .. لنْ أجادلك !
فقط سَـ أرآك تفعل ماتشاء :)
أعلم بِ أنك تستغرب صمتي ..
لستْ بِ قاسي !
ولست بِ شخص لا مبالي !
ولست بِ شخص لا يحبك !
كل مافي الأمر :
[ لن تكون أحن عليّ من نفسي !! ]
فـ لغة الصمت لا يفهمها إلا من خابت جميع توقعاته :") </3

Golkonda, a ruined city of south-central India and capital of ancient Kingdom of Golkonda (c. 1364–1512), is situated 11 km west of Hyderabad.
The most important builder of Golkonda was a Kakatiya King. Ibrahim was following in the spirit of his ancestors, the Qutub Shahi kings, a great family of builders who had ruled the kingdom of Golkonda from 1512. Their first capital, the fortress citadel of Golkonda, was rebuilt for defense from invading Mughals from the north. They laid out Golkonda's splendid monuments, now in ruins, and designed a perfect acoustical system by which a hand clap sounded at the fort's main gates, the grand portico, was heard at the top of the citadel, situated on a 300-foot (91 m)-high granite hill. This is one of the fascinating features of the fort.
They ruled over the Telangana region and some parts of present day Karnataka and Maharashtra.
According to a legend, the fort derives its name from Golla conda, which is a Telugu word for Shepherd's Hill. It is believed that a shepherd boy came across an idol on the hill. This led to the construction of a mud fort by the then Kakatiya dynasty ruler of the kingdom around the site.
After the collapse of the Bahmani Sultanat, Golkonda rose to prominence as the seat of the Qutb Shahi dynasty around 1507. Over a period of 62 years the mud fort was expanded by the first three Qutb Shahi kings into a massive fort of granite, extending around 5 km in circumference. It remained the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty until 1590 when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad. The Qutb Shahis expanded the fort, whose 7 km outer wall enclosed the city. The state became a focal point for Shia Islam in India, for instance in the 17th century Bahraini clerics, Sheikh Ja`far bin Kamal al-Din and Sheikh Salih Al-Karzakani both emigrated to Golkonda.
The city and fortress are built on a granite hill that is 120 meters (400 ft) high and is surrounded by massive crenelated ramparts. The beginnings of the fort date to 1143, when the Hindu Kakatiya dynasty ruled the area. The Kakatiya dynasty were followed by the state of Warangal, which was later conquered by the Islamic Bahmani Sultanat. The fort became the capital of a major province in the Sultanate and after its collapse the capital of the Qutb Shahi kings. The fort finally fell into ruins after a siege and its fall to Mughal emperor Aurangazeb.
The Qutb Shahi sultanate lasted until its conquest by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1687. The fortress held out against Aurangzeb for nine months, falling to the Mughals through treachery.

I was trying to capture the beautiful rose petals during sunset time when my sight was drawn towards a harmless, standstill fly sitting on the rose petal. Light was dim as its winter evening in this side of Globe. I used my high ISO setting (1600) to keep a good enough Shutter Speed (1/160). I could take 2-3 shots, hand-held, before it flew
Some technical details of Fly as an Insect
Flies are insects of the order Diptera (from the Greek di = two, and ptera = wings). Their most obvious distinction from other orders of insects is that a typical fly possesses a pair of flight wings on the mesothorax and a pair of halteres, derived from the hind wings, on the metathorax. (Some species of flies are exceptional in that they are secondarily flightless). The only other order of insects bearing two true, functional wings plus any form of halteres are the Strepsiptera, and in contrast to the flies, the Strepsiptera bear their halteres on the mesothorax and their flight wings on the metathorax.
The Diptera comprise a large order, containing an estimated 240,000 species of mosquitoes, gnats, midges and others, although under half of these (about 120,000 species) have been described. It is one of the major insect orders both in terms of ecological and human (medical and economic) importance. The Diptera, in particular the mosquitoes (Culicidae), are of great importance as disease transmitters, acting as vectors for malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, yellow fever, encephalitis and other infectious diseases.
Diptera derive from Mecoptera or a strictly related group. The first true dipterans known are from the Middle Triassic (around 240 million years ago), and they became widespread during the Middle and Late Triassic

This summer my friend and I decided to just drive around see if we'd find anything interesting to photograph. We were just going along when we came across this random castle and I knew I had to stop and get a picture. Instead of just taking a simple picture of it I decided to make it a little "unique" by creating a filter using my sunglasses. I felt like it would give it the feeling as if you were seeing the castle from my point of view.
An experiment with my new Olympus macro lens. Flowers courtesy of my brother and family. I told my brother the day before this shot that I wasn't intending to do macro's of flies eyes or flowers with it and hoped to do something different... Oh well!

I have struggled with waxwings' faces - they're dark but with a lot of contrast too, and the birds' heads are always in motion. I honestly didn't think I would pull this off: the bird's perched in the shadows and the willows across the creek are being flooded by the early morning sun. I only took the shot in the first place because waxwings are rarely out in the open in the lower canopy like this.

Explore #107 Thanks friends!
Hi friends, please pray for Levi, my grandson. He had very bad asthma today and turned blue. The ambulance, 5 paramedics, and 5 police caars came today.....I'm thankful for the county I live it, they responded quickly and he was breathing better. His mom has him at the doctor right now. The pollen is really making him sick.
Thank you for your prayers!
I shot this this morning when he was feeling well. I loved the light on his back....I never intended to upload this one but it seemed a good way to request prayer!
Vive le Printemps ...

Today was a day of house cleaning, file organizing, laundry doing, and random editing for some of my recent clients.
This was not client work, just a shot from memorial day when I went to a BBQ at my good friend Joey Ambrose's house. This is his beautiful pup "Dakota" and yes her tongue always goes to that side!
