“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.”

For those who are interested, an extract from this afternoon's Journal entry.
"At 5 o'clock we were back on the road to Sousousvlei for the afternoon drive, along the way we saw Oryx and Ostriches. We stopped at dune number 45, I gave Ruby my Panasonic camera and she went off to take photos of wild flowers. I took close up shots of the sand dune and its environment.
Next we drove to dune number 47; this was a stunning landscape, especially in the afternoon light. We watched the sun set at dune 47, Ruby took photos of the sunset with one of my cameras, while I used another. Neither of us was interested in sharing drinks and nibbles, we were civil but an impossible gulf had opened between us.
I asked about taking a hot air balloon or a sightseeing flight the next morning. Ruby said I'd never get into the balloon basket and besides the next morning would be windy and unsuitable for ballooning. She was no longer interested in anything I wanted if I wasn’t interested in what she wanted me to do. She had also lost sight of the fact I was the client and she the guide. Her message was loud and clear.
Back at the camp we had Orix kebabs for dinner, tough as old leather and not at all tasty."
La machine d'extraction assurait la descente et la remontée de la cage qui transportait les hommes et le matériel.

Ils se sont battus pendant des années pour sauver à la fois le site et la machine d'extraction qui pouvait encore tourner. Une poignée d'anciens mineurs réunis au sein d'une association et qui se sont relayés au chevet de la vieille dame pour ralentir au maximum son vieillissement
The Sassi di Matera are two districts (Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano) of the Italian city of Matera, Basilicata, well-known for their ancient cave dwellings inhabited since the Paleolithic period.
The "Sassi" have been described by Fodor's as "one of the most unique landscapes in Europe".[1] Along with the park of the Rupestrian Churches, it was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.
I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.

Happy Sliders Sunday!
Start of the day
I start every morning with a latte. As I was preparing to brew my espresso today, I noticed the light streaming in from a window illuminating the chrome of the Aquila espresso machine. It gave me an idea .. I positioned a camera and grabbed a shot as the delicious espresso was being extracted.

Started to watch 'Tales from the Loop' recently and inspired to build some retro-futuristic MOCs.

I was lucky to have some color in the sky the evening I was in Bingen if only momentarily it made for a less than boring capture of the famous Mouse Tower.
In my previous post I mentioned the Bishop of Mainz extracted his tolls from the river tradesman with his three toll burgs, the mouse tower being on the river was the principal place of toll collection.
There is a story that goes the Bishop was also in charge of food distribution in the region and during a particular bad harvest season refused to let the backup stores be distributed and tricked the townspeople into a building that he barred the entrance to and set it ablaze.
Apparently laughing to himself about the townspeople tortured screams sounding like rats, he visited his own curse upon himself as that night a swarm of rats chased him down through town and cornered him in the mouse tower where he was devoured by the horde.
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR, PS and DXO Nik
I find the high moors fascinating places not just for the natural beauty and weird rock formations but also because, many years ago, they were a hive of industry, principally mining or quarrying. This was taken on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, close to the hamlet of St. Breward. As well the moorland scenery it shows a cheesewring which although resembling a man made object is actually a perfectly natural rock formation created by erosion. Close by can be seen the remains of an old mining building which overlooked an open cast mine where, probably, tin or copper would have been extracted. It is likely that the miners walked several miles to and from their homes to this mine in all weathers. I visited on a fine day but it was still a bleak and windy place. Truly, those miners worked between a rock and a hard place.

Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

Experimenting with combining RGB, hydrogen alpha and UHC filter data on the Carina nebula, this has approx 10 hours of data in it, RGB data from Hawker, Ha mostly from Adelaide, UHC from Hawker. I used Astro Pixel Processor to extract OIII from the UHC data which was used to add to the blue of the RGB, the Ha was used as luminance. Final tweaking in Photoshop. Mostly 10 minute exposures, D810A, APT camera control software, 600mm VR lens at f/4, Celestron CGEM II EQ mount, PHD2 guiding, Astronomik 12nm HA and UHC filters. I like the blue in this but the centre of the nebula has been blown out...

This Australian parrot is a Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and it is using its bristle brush tongue to extract sweet sticky nectar and pollen from within the flowers of a 'Corymbia' Summer Red (formerly Eucalyptus).

I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

"When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without"

Taken shortly before I fell off the road and spent an hour extracting myself from the bog!
The Lakes from somewhere above Windermere!
Back from a couple of days in the lakes. More walking than photography, but timed a quick visit to Wastwater to capture this.
