Thankyou all so much! Dave :)
No PS used here (I do not have it anyway!) I would have edited out the vapour trail and the trees if I did perhaps!
At the peak of tulip mania, in March 1637, some single tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman.
In an auction held in Holland in February 1637, 99 lots of tulip bulbs fetched a staggering 90,000 guilders, more than $3.5 million in today's money. Tulipomania had reached its height, and its story is told in just one of the fascinating sections of Anna Pavord's wonderful book on this most seductive of flowers.
I can highly recommend the facinating book "The Tulip by Anna Pavord"
you can imagine the strangle looks I got when I went bazonkers underneath some flowers!!!!

Added the scarf from the Wayfarer outfit. I plan to include this color, as well as a series of other colors as well, plus an option without the scarf.
Developed as a long-range exploration vessel sized between its more famous stablemates the LL928 and LL924, the LL926 Cosmos Explorer ended up having less in the way of cargo space in the rear compartment, only able to fit the smallest design of rover available to the Lagrange-Lunacorp designers. Most of the extra space was taken up with fuel storage and crew supplies, giving the Cosmos Explorer the longest unsupplied range of the three vessels.
The lack of cargo capacity made the Cosmos Explorer less versatile than either of the other early LL-type explorer ships, however, and many planetary fleets of the inner system bought only a few of the craft. In the far reaches of the Uranian and Neptunian leagues and the Kuiper Belt Alliance, however, these ultra-long-range craft really came into their own.

So I was planning to build a sleekened, updated version of the old LL924 Space Transporter, but I think this ended up a bit bigger than that venerable beauty. Not quite up to the LL928, but that might actually be within reach now. Amazing thought.

Got up at sunrise and this lovely sun was here. So that made my morning because it's been raining here forever. But then the fog covered the sun and filled the entire mountain so you couldn't see anything. So that was a bit of a poop.
Happy December first! Where did the month go? I go back so school tomorrow...So sad. I felt like the fall break was only like a day long...
I saw Catching Fire again because I'm badly obsessed. I started going back on my HG IG account again & I'm on there like every second xD.
Have a wonderful day!

So, my good friend Brian Cavanaugh and i are going to shoot a wedding together on the 30th of this month, and he has been pretty rusty. He gave me a call and was like "Broseidon king of the Brocean, i havent shot in a while. Wanna go shooting today?", and me being the eager man i am said, "Ah hells to the yeah bro, lets go shoot some stuff". Usually this entails brian and i finding a location and taking pictures of each other. Im not complaining, but i wanted a change. So i called up a friend of mine named Sarah, shes a cool cat and a trooper might i add! She was posing for us left and right in 105 degree weather! YEAH SON. At first she was a little uneasy, but she got the whole picture posing thing down. So kudos to her :). Thats all i have to really say about this set. Oh, one more thing. Im proud of the little 5D. I was shooting at ISO 800-1000 for these shots because the area was really shaded and dark. But it still produced very vibrant, sharp, beautiful images. So thank Mr. 5D. I commend you.
Check out Brian's work here!: www.flickr.com/photos/briancavanaugh/
(Do it, seriously, he got a few bomb shots of Sarah)
5D + 135L. Mr OneThirtyFive is boss too.
OK, this week I am really going to try to take pictures of something other than flowers! But until then, here is one more! :D

The brown pelican is a small pelican found in the Americas. It is one of the best known and most prominent birds found in the coastal areas of the southern and western United States. It is one of only three pelican species found in the Western Hemisphere. The brown pelican is one of the only two pelican species which feeds by diving into the water. Pelecanus occidentalis ~ Wikipedia

Mini-city located on the Konyaatli beach front just down from the Aqua Park and the Hill-Side Su hotel.
This miniature park is an open space that displays miniature buildings and models
It was great to see all of the many spectacular historical places in Turkey in miniature scale.

Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Ayasofya, Greek: Αγία Σοφία; "Holy Wisdom", Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots). It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into the Ayasofya Mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features — such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside — were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It remained as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many of the Ottoman mosques such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, and the Rüstem Pasha Mosque.
Although it is sometimes referred to as Saint Sophia (Greek for wisdom), the Greek name in full is Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, Church of the Holy Wisdom of God, and it was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom of God rather than a specific saint named Sophia.

Mio Adorato, che mi hai sollevata
Da questa squallida valle ove fui gettata,
E, tra i languidi ricci, hai infuso
Un benedetto soffio di vita, onde la fronte
Di nuovo brilla al cospetto degli angeli,
Per il tuo bacio redentore! Mio solo,l'unico,
Che a me giungesse quando il mondo era perduto,
E io, che solo Dio cercavo, trovai Te!
Ti ho trovato: sono salva, forte e lieta,
Come uno che tra gli asfodeli eterni,
Ripensa ai tristi giorni che trascorse
Nell'altra vita, così con immenso orgoglio
Io testimonio qui, nel bene e nel male,
Che Amore, forte come la Morte, come lei redime.
Elizabeth Barret Browning
