I had the honour to take photos from a high ground rescue with the heroes from the Frölunda fire department. This was an exercise from an 80-meter high crane.
Please take a look at the other photos from the exercise in the album "high ground rescue".

This picture is black and white and the reason to that is that I wanted to give it the feeling from the wonderful pictures of the construction of New York skyscrapers.
This is my contribution to this week's theme “#soft” for the Swedish flickr group Photo Sunday.
Have a nice week!

Bueno amigos he empezado el año pasando un poco al lado mas oscuro, aunque tampoco esta tan oscuro, noche de luna llena, desde las 23:30 del dia 01-01-10 a las 03:00 horas del dia 02-01-10, fotos de larga exposicion como esta y otras hasta de 30 minutos,los resultados sorprendentes en algunos casos, para que os hagais una idea un total de 46 fotos en una 3 horas de sesion, poco a poco os subire las que creo que pueden estar un poco decente, seguro que repito y en la proxima solo y sin la luna llena.
I woke up earlier than usual this morning, so I decided to drive to Jubilee Creek, to see if I could take an interesting photo (or two).
Now that I'm able to walk everywhere without pain again, I opted to (carefully) walk along the river instead of following the regular trail.
This might sound like a lot of fun, but it's easier said than done. There are plenty of places where logs and/or tangled vegetation will make this feel like you're doing an obstacle course.
I might not have captured any award-winning photos this morning, but at least I successfully completed the obstacle course.
The only thing that I could complain about afterwards was that my toes were feeling a bit cold. Life is good again!
This is my first photo to get into the Explore section :) I´m over the moon, thanx everyone!

Sandhi Puja -
An integral and important part of Durga Puja, Sandhi Puja is performed at the juncture of the 8th and 9th lunar day. Sandhi puja lasts from the last 24 minutes of Ashtami till the first 24 minutes of Nabami. During this juncture (the "Sandhikhan"), Durga is worshipped in her Chamunda form. Devi Durga killed, Chando and Mundo, the two asuras at "Sandhikhan" and thus acquired the name of "Chamunda".
Myth behind Durga being worshipped as Chamunda -
While the Goddess and Mahishasura were engaged in a fierce battle, the two generals of Mahisha, Chando and Mundo attacked the Devi from the the rear. Durga appeared to them, a brilliantly glowing woman with her hair knotted on her head, a crescent moon above her forehead, a 'tilak' on her forehead and a garland around her neck. With golden earrings and clad in a yellow saari she emitted a golden glow. Her ten hands possessed ten different weapons. Though she appeared beautiful her face turned blue with anger when she faced Chondo and Mundo. From her third eye then emerged a Devi with a large falchion and a shield. She had a large face, bloody tongue and sunken blood shot eyes. She was Chamunda. With a bloodcurdling shriek she leapt forward and killed them. This moment was the juncture of the 8th and 9th lunar day.
Age old yardsticks for measuring the "Sandhikhan" -
Long back devotees in order to perform the Sandhi Puja at the exact juncture used a number of methods. With the last 24 mins. of the Ashtami puja still left, a bronze bowl with a tiny hole was placed in a bucket full of water. The bowl with the tiny hole was made in such a way that it took exactly 24 minutes for the bowl to submerge in the water. The moment the bowl submerged in the water cannon balls were
fired announcing this moment of Sandhi Puja. This yardstick for measuring the "Sandhikhan" was very popular ages ago in many "Rajbaris". Many "Rajbaris", including, the zamindar of Sutanuti of Sobhabajar Rajbari fired cannon balls to announce the "Sandhikhan". People around Sobhabajar waited for this indication to proceed with their puja. King of Krishnanagar, Raja Krishna Chandra, was given the
cannon of Plassey as a gift from Robert Clive. In Shikharbhum Rajbari a platter with vermillion (sindur) used to be kept in front of the Devi. It is said the foot prints of the Devi could be seen in the platter. This moment indicated the commencement of Sandhi Puja. Sabarno Raychoudhury of Barisha worshipped the Chamunda Devi by burning 'Layta' and 'Pholui' (types of fishes) fishes.
Things needed to perform Sandhi Puja -
Sandhi Puja requires 108 lotus flowers, a single fruit, dry rice grain for "noibiddo", 108 earthen lamps, clothes, jewelry, hibiscus garlands and wood apple (bel) leaves. The almost non existent rituals which underwent changes with the changes in the society can still be seen in some of the 200-250 year old Pujas.
