No better way to spend an August night at the end of summer than watching a baseball game. Last night was the Old Time Baseball Game in Cambridge, MA at St. Peter’s Field. This is an annual event for charity that was celebrating its 20th year last night. The teams are made up of college level players from around New England and they wear the uniforms from long ago. Lou Merloni (former Red Sox player) also played last night for his 6th year in a row.
This shot was taken with a new lens I just purchased, the Panasonic 7-14mm UWA. It is the largest m43 lens I have, but I liked the results I have seen so far.
Definitely a great event and a great night, I have more photos that i need to process but will be sharing soon.
Have a great day!
Qingtian County is located in the middle south of Zhejiang Province and the lower reaches of Ou River, which covers a total area of 2,493 km2. The GIAHS designated village—Longxian village is a typical south village in the southeast of Fangshan Town, one of towns in Qingtian County, covering an area of 4.6 km2.
Ecological symbiosis exists in the traditional rice-fish agricultural system: fish provides fertilizer to rice, regulates micro-climatic conditions, softens the soil, disturbs the water, and eats larvae and weeds in the flooded fields; rice provides shade and food for fish.
Historically, fish has been cultivated in wet rice fields, either concurrently or rotationally with rice.
The canon for fish culture written by Fan Li (about 400 BC) states:
"... dig six mu of land into a pond … put 2000 fry into the pond …sell the rest in the market.”
In a good year with ample rainfall and moderate weather, 2000 carp fry could produce numerous eggs.
Some wise farmers may have placed excess fry in their rice fields. The fish in the rice fields may have grown better than those in the ponds, and the practice of raising fish in rice fields was born. There are no records of when the practice started, but this seems to be a logical explanation of how rice-fish farming began in China.
An early written record of rice-fish culture may be found in "Recipes for Four Seasons" which was written by Cao Cao in the Sanguo Era (200-265 AD): “a small fish with yellow scales and a red tail, grown in the rice fields of Pi County northeast of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, can be used for making sauce.”

I've been having to reduce the saturation on some of the tulip photos lately; if you can believe that.
2009 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Mt. Vernon, Washington.
J'ai souvent eu envie de photographier les paysages teintés de jaunes que je rencontrais lors des trajets que je faisais en train mais impossible de les prendre correctement.
Situés le long d'une route bordée de platanes, j'ai eu l'opportunité de faire quelques clichés de ces champs de colza. La météo était au rendez-vous et quelques nuages traversaient le ciel.

Phaselis Research
Phaselis
When compared with the previous period of research on the history of the city over the past quarter century it has undergone radical changes. While modern scientists follow the path of their predecessors in collecting data through systematic processes and methodically analysing them, they change the route whereby they approach the city as a context- and a process-oriented structure, having economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions which come together at different levels.
This considerably more inclusive definition expands the discipline concerning the city’s historical research, which consists of archaeology, epigraphy, ancient history and the other ancillary sciences and it encourages scientists from the natural and health sciences to participate within these studies. This is because in the course of the exploration of an ancient settlement the study of both the environment and the ecological setting which make human life possible; together with health issues, such as diet and epidemics, form the context within which human beings live, and which are thereby as important as the human actors.
Within the context of the planned Phaselis Research, even certain knowledge such as the settlement’s appearing on the stage of history as a favorite break-point with its three natural harbours, it being famous for its roses, the frequent seismic upheavals at sea and on its shores and its citizens leaving their homes because of a devastating malaria epidemic suggest the necessity of the application of this multi-dimensional research methodology in order to understand more fully the historical adventure of this city.
By presenting this research project, we aim to implement and realize this multi-dimensional research method, which as yet lacks widespread application in the field in our country, however conceptually and practically with a multi-disciplinary research team consisting of both national and international scientists, we intend to register systematically every kind of data/information regarding all contexts of the city employing modern methods and to present the results to the scientific world in the form of regular reports and monographic studies, thus forming a strong tie between past and future research.
Phaselis Territorium
The boundaries of the ancient city of Phaselis’ territorium are today within the administrative borders of the township of Tekirova, in Kemer District, determined from the archaeological, epigraphic and historical-geographical evidence, reaching the Gökdere valley to the north, continue on a line drawn from Üç Adalar to Mount Tahtalı to the south and extend along the Çandır valley to the west.
Phaselis was discovered in 1811-1812 by Captain F. Beaufort during his work of charting the southern coastline of Asia Minor for the British Royal Navy. Beaufort drew Phaselis’ plan and in the course of conducting his cartographic studies, he saw the word Φασηλίτης ethnikon on the inscriptions and consequently identified these ruins with Phaselis. C. R. Cockerell, the English architect, archaeologist and author came to Phaselis by ship and met Beaufort there. Then in 1838 C. Fellows, the English archaeologist visited the city. He found the fragments of the dedicatory inscription over the monumental gate built in honour of the Emperor Hadrianus and mistakenly thought the Imperial Period main street was the stadion due to the seats-steps on either side of the street. In 1842 Lt. T. A. B. Spratt, the English hydrographer and geographer, and the Rev. E. Forbes, the naturalist came to Phaselis via the Olympos and Khimaira routes. Due to the fact that they all came by sea and they only stayed for a short time, their descriptions of the topography inland are without detailed and there are serious errors in orientation.
PhaselisThose researchers who visited Phaselis between the late 19th and the early 20th centuries concentrated primarily upon the discovery of inscriptions. In 1881-1882 while the Austrian archaeologist and the epigraphist O. Benndorf, the founder of the Austrian Archaeological Institute, and his team were conducting research in southwestern Asia Minor, they examined Phaselis. In the winter of 1883 and 1884 F. von Luschan from the Austrian team took the first photographs which provide information concerning the regional features of Phaselis’ shoreline. In the same year the French scientist V. Bérard also visited Phaselis. In 1892 the members of the Austrian research team, O. Benndorf, E. Kalinka and their colleagues continued their architectural, archaeological and epigraphical studies in Phaselis. In 1904 they were followed by D. G. Hogarth, R. Norton and A. W. van Buren from the British research team. In 1908 the Austrian classical philologist E. Kalinka visited the settlement again, collected epigraphic documents and conducted research on the history of city (published in TAM II in 1944). The Italian researchers R. Paribeni and P. Romanelli visited Phaselis in1913 and C. Anti in 1921. Anti returned to Antalya overland and in consequence discovered several epigraphs and the ruins of structures within the territorium of Phaselis.
Further archaeological, epigraphical and historical-geographical studies of Phaselis were conducted by the English researchers F. M. Stark and G. Bean, who came to the region after World War II. In 1968 H. Schläger, the German architect and underwater archaeologist began exploring the topographical and architectural structures of Phaselis’s harbours. After Schläger’s death in 1969, the research was conducted under the leadership of the archaeologist J. Schäfer in 1970. H. Schläger, J. Schäfer and their colleagues obtained important data concerning the architecture and history of Phaselis through the surface exploration of the city and its periphery. Following the excavations conducted along the main axial street of the city, in 1980 under the direction of Kayhan Dörtlük, the then Director of the Antalya Museum and between 1981-1985 under the leadership of the archaeologist Cevdet Bayburtluoğlu; underwater exploration was carried out in the South Harbour under the direction of Metin Pehlivaner, the then Director of the Antalya Museum.
These are fields of sunflowers in the Sacramento area in Northern California. They are at full bloom. Unfortunately, we are having a few wild fire in the area, so the sky is filled with smoke.
...wildflower fields, actually....! ;-)
this is how part of the huge field seen before in bokeh status looks in focus...hues of yellow, pink orange, indigo, red and a few blues all under a dramatic Texas sky.

I've been really keen to go and see this and take some shots. Finally the other day i visited the museum with my wife and our little girl. This is the wide angle view. The installation looked fantastic and was very popular. Heres some more info:
Field of Light at the Holburne Museum consists of over 5,000 bulbs of light planted in the grounds and flowing into the Garden Cafe. Acrylic stems are topped by frosted spheres which are threaded with fibre optic cables and lit by a colour projector. The result is quite magical, as both colour and light flow through the bulbs to create a uniquely captivating experience.
