You may have noticed that my photostream has gone nearly colorless... I am trying an experiment. I have a few contacts who are doing a whole month of black and white (Steven Brisson and CP MCGann are 2 you may know!) But I'm not sure I can last the whole month!! It has been interesting, and forced me to look at my photographs and explore how and why I do things like I do. In essence, it has open up some doors to a new way of taking and processing photos. But 30 days is a hell of a long time.... stay tuned!! : )
This is a picture of the phone box just off Ferry Road, Studland. A little quirky and fantastically British! Catch the ferry and you will be brushing shoulders with the rich and famous in Sandbanks, one of the worlds most expensive areas of real estate. Head West and you will pass such sites as Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay and the world famous Durdle Door.

Gangolihat is a small Himalayan hill town in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India. It is tehsil and sub divisional headquarters of the district. Gangolihat is famous for its Shakti Peethas of Hat Kalika of goddess Kali. Nearby at 'Patal Bhubneshwar', underground caves are major tourist attraction. Also nearby are the tiny hill stations of Chaukori and Berinag.From Gangolihat Panchchuli peaks and Nanda Devi are clearly visible.
Gangolihat is located at
29.48°N 80.05°E. It has an average elevation of 1,760 metres (5,773 feet). It is 78 km from Pithoragarh. The main town is at a hill top. The region is surrounded by two rivers Saryu and Ramganga. Which meet at Ghat at the foothill of the region. These two rivers make it like a Garland on the shoulders of mighty Himalaya. These two rivers gave the name to the region Gang (River in local dialect) + Awali (Garland) making Gangawali. Which became Gangoli later on. and Hat were the main markets/ gathering place for local people in past. Which made the name of Gangolihat.
Gangolihat is native of Pant Brahmins mainly. Along with Pant's, Joshi's, Upreti's, Pathak's, Mahar's, Negi's, Bisht, Rawal's, Verma's, Shah and Aryas are other major surnames found.
Gangolihaat is famous for its ancient temples and underground caves. 'Haat Kalika', 'Ambika Dewaal', 'Chamunda Mandir', 'Vaishnavi Mandir' are some of the famous temples here. 'Vaishnavi Mandir' is a special one because from here one can clearly view the Himalayas. This temple is situated on a mountain that is called 'Shail Parvat', which is notable in Hindu holy books.
There are many beautiful underground caves in Gangolihaat. 'Patal Bhuvneshwar', 'Shailashwer Gufa' and 'Mukteshwar Gufa' are most notable ones. A new underground cave has been also found recently and that is called 'Bholeshwar Gufa'.
'Haat Kalika Mandir' was chosen by Adi Guru Sankaracharya for installation of Mahakali Shaktipeeth. It is believed that the Original Goddes Kalika Mata, which supposed to be in West Bangal, shifted her place form Bangal to Gangolihat. This Temple is very famous all over the India, specially among Indian Armed Forces. Posthumous Param Veer Chakra award winner Capt. Bikram Batra was a great devotee of Goddess. The goddess Mahakali is the designated goddess of brave Kumaun Regiment which proved its unmatched bravery and patriotism during all major wars fought by India. Kumaun regiment has created an Army Rest House near the Temple for Army Personnel, who come Gangloihat to get the blessing of Goddess.
There are historical monuments made during 8-11th century near the famous temple. Which is a site preserved by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). It depicts the nervelessness of the artistic creation at that time.
The highest peak in the range, Lankeshwar is a great picnic place. The view of greenery rich valleys of Kumaun Himalayas from this hilltop is memorable and heavenly.

Iffy footing, but a nice low tide for exploring the wetland. A surprise adventure for sister. If I had warned her we probably wouldn't have gone!
Bott's Marsh, Nehalem River Estuary, Oregon. Owned and stewarded by the Lower Nehalem Community Trust.
I came from a household that was polygamous, in relation to cameras at least, we had lots of different ones, maybe they were cheaper and more disposable than the SLR kit that seems to have become fairly common if not totally ubiquitous.
Likewise I had a string of small cameras, until 20 odd years ago I purchased an EOS from Dixons, and then accumulated a few lenses etc that went with; I guess you start to build both financial and emotional investment in ‘your’ brand.
I guess it’s that investment that you are defending if you buy into the factionalism that appears to go with.
Sticking with a brand means you can make more of your previous investment, great, I’m now on my third canon SLR and I still use lenses that I purchased 20 years back.
So let’s say the big manufacturers are Nikon and Canon, do you mix, and how did you arrive at your choice?

I was trying out my circular polarize filter with this duck. We will be in the Caribbean in May so I purchased a filter to help with the hot summer sun down there. I am still very new to photography. I know the basics of what these filters do but wanted to put it to hands on trial and error to know when to use it and when not to =)
There was a pretty harsh flare due to the sun and water. The filter seems to have helped a great deal.
Plasencia è un comune spagnolo di 36.690 abitanti situato nella comunità autonoma dell'Estremadura in provincia di Cáceres. È una città fortificata su una collina a destra del fiume Jerte ai confini fra Estremadura e Castiglia sulla Ruta de la Plata, antico itinerario in cui scorre il fiume Ambroz affluente del Tago, separazione naturale fra le montagne delle Sierra de Tormantos e di Tras la Sierra. È capoluogo della comarca più meridionale della provincia di Cáceres. È sede vescovile e conserva diversi monumenti medioevali e rinascimentali.
La cattedrale di Plasencia è costituita da due edifici. Uno è la Cattedrale Vecchia, in stile di transizione dal romanico al gotico, la cui costruzione venne cominciata nel XIII secolo. I resti di questa primitiva chiesa corrispondono alla navata, alla facciata occidentale, al chiostro, in stile gotico e alla sala capitolare, sovrastata da una cupola a spicchi, tipica della tradizione bizantina. La costruzione della Cattedrale Nuova, in stile gotico, venne cominciata nel XV secolo. Presenta alte volte, che poggiano su pilastri a fascio. La pala d’altare maggiore, con sculture di Gregorio Fernández e pitture di Francisco Ricci, è del XVII secolo. All’interno della chiesa spiccano gli stalli del coro, in stile gotico fiammeggiante di transizione al plateresco. La Cattedrale Vecchia ospita oggi il museo della cattedrale.

The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the State of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.
A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898.
New York City traces its origin to its 1624 founding in Lower Manhattan as a trading post by colonists of the Dutch Republic and was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790.

We spent a week in New York City in May, aiming to explore the city beyond Manhattan and enjoy vibrant moods of this never-sleeping megalopolis.
Walking is arguably the best way to explore the city, and combined with large subway system one may spend weeks still not having visited and seen everything.

The tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is a perennial and night-blooming plant ... hence the Bengali / Hindi name is "Rajnigandha" 'Rajini' means night and 'Gandha', the one that has a sweet fragrance.
