Third place, Flat Smokey in the Photo, by Jennifer Taylor.
Local amateur photographers submitted 101 photographs for an interagency contest during the 21st Annual Sportsmen’s & Outdoor Recreation Show in Roseburg. Ten photographers received the top awards as voted by people attending the outdoor show.
The contest included five categories – “Scenery”, “People Enjoying Nature”, “Animals in Nature”, “Flat Smokey in the Photo”, and “Selfies in the Woods” – and one “Best in Show” category.
Abigail McEnroe of Roseburg earned the “Best in Show” award, having received the most votes for her photograph of a young boy and dog, both wearing personal flotation devices, peering over the bow of a raft. She also won an additional first and third place in the “People Enjoying Nature” category and second place in the “Scenery” category.
This was the fifth “Land of Umpqua Amateur Photo Contest” sponsored jointly by the Bureau of Land Management, Roseburg District and Umpqua National Forest. More than 420 people stopped by the agencies’ booth to vote for their favorite photos.

In my ever-ceasing quest to conquer the kinetic sculpture race challenges of sand, , mud, hills and road, I have simpilfied ad absurdum.. Here I am at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, at the dunes to test whether my silly idea to roll my home-built German gymnastics wheel on, up, and Down dunes of sand is ridiculous or sublime...
So far so good! Though the next step, of many, is to have the folding road wheels in place, and then to try this silliness with flotation, life jacket, paddle, etc. on board..and worn or stowed such that I do not accidentally perform a self-evisceration in the name of art.....
You be the judge!! 5 1/2 revolutions and I didn't lose my hat. The technique refined : www.youtube.com/watch?v=21M2nUh4jlc
Port side cockpit sole epoxyied in place. Underneath this sole, along with foam flotation, is a 1 1/4" diameter PVC pipe providing an electrical conduit between the pilot house aft dinette seat and the seat against the transom. I may locate the house battery and battery charger under the dinette seat to reduce weight in the aft end.
I had no 9mm Okoume plywood left in sheets large enough for the cockpit soles. I wasn't about to travel 7 hours round trip to Houston to purchase same, so I locally purchased two sheets of 3/8" Aquatek marine plywood. This is a Luan based wood manufactured to the less stringent specification 6566 versus BS1088 for the Joubert plywood I have been using.
Advantages of Aquatek compared to Okoume are less expensive, more rot resistant and better rigidity in a flat application. Disadvantages are greater weight, harder to mold and more splinters. Out came the tweezers and gloves after getting impaled from across the grain cuts. Especially when using a jig saw, consider running the saw on the less noticeable side of the Aquatek panel or using masking tape on the cut line. I have had splintering bad enough to require fairing compound to correct the tear out. Of course a higher tooth count blade would help. After this experience, I now very much appreciate how cleanly Okoume plywood cuts.
One of the Aquatek sheets will be used for the removable center cockpit area. Since the outer soles taper as they approach the transom, I was able to get both soles out of one 4X8 sheet even though at their widest points the soles each exceeded 24". In effect I cut the plywood sheet on the diagonal along the 8' dimension.

Here's a sturdy little 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" hardcover coptic journal, one of the latest in my new marbled paper series. I created this marbled paper myself, using old school ink flotation techniques to create a one of a kind sheet of blue, green and white marbled paper.
I hand-sewed the book using extremely strong waxed Irish linen thread, and the cover even has cute little metal grommets, which prevent the thread from wearing a groove in the cover.
The endpapers are also marbled, in a different style called Suminagashi where black Japanese ink is floated on water, then blown around to create these swirly topographic patterns.

This is the biggest in the Europe body of waste deposits flotation after copper ore belonging to KGHM Polska Miedz. Why the biggest?
- total area: 1400 ha
- current capacity: 340 000 000 m3
- projected capacity: 1 100 000 000 m3
- lenght of body's barrier: 14,3 km
- height of barrier: 20 - 45 m
- area of "beach": 770 ha
- area of basin: 624 ha
Podstawowe funkcje zbiornika wiążą się z gospodarką wodno-szlamową 3-ch Zakładów Wzbogacania Rud, które prowadzą wzbogacanie urobku górniczego rud miedzi metodą flotacji. Koncentraty miedzi uzyskane w wyniku wzbogacania stanowią jedynie około 4-6 % wagi urobku. Większość wydobytej skały jest odpadem, który zostaje zagospodarowywany na powierzchni.
Proces flotacji wymaga użycia dużej ilości wody – 4-5 m3/t nadawy rudy do flotacji. Odpady z flotacji są szlamem w stanie płynnym, w którym części stałe zajmują 6,5-8,7% objętości. Odpady są transportowane rurociągami na składowisko Żelazny Most. W składowisku następuje sedymentacja fazy stałej, a woda sklarowana jest ujmowana i ponownie kierowana do ZWR-ów. Woda cyrkuluje stale w obiegu pomiędzy ZWR-ami i składowiskiem.
Roczna wielkość deponowanych odpadów z flotacji waha się od 20 do 26 mln ton, z czego prawie 75 % wykorzystywanych jest do dalszej nadbudowy, a jedynie 25 % podlega procesowi unieszkodliwiania. Składowisko „Żelazny Most” jest obecnie jedynym miejscem deponowania odpadu z flotacji dla wszystkich kopalń, co powoduje, że stanowi ono kluczowe ogniwo technologiczne, bez którego produkcja koncentratu miedziowego byłaby niemożliwa.
Obok podstawowej funkcji, jaką jest utylizacja odpadów, akwen utworzony w centralnej części składowiska „Żelazny Most” pełni jednocześnie funkcję osadnika klarującego wody nadosadowe użytkowane w obiegu flotacji, a ze względu na dużą pojemność również zbiornika retencyjno-dozujacego nadmiar wody kopalniano-technologicznej w obiegu. Od 1978 r., metodą hydrotechniczną (okresowo), nadmiar wody odprowadzany jest do Odry.
Źródłem uciążliwości ze strony składowiska „Żelazny Most” były unoszone okresowo, przy sprzyjających warunkach wietrznych, pyły z przesuszonych powierzchni zbiornika. Już w 1984 r. podjęto działania zapobiegające pyleniu. Wprowadzono „kurtyny wodne” – systemy rurociągów ze zraszaczami, zabezpieczanie plaż roztworami wodnymi emulsji asfaltowej przy użyciu śmigłowców i specjalistycznych pojazdów oraz systematyczne obudowy biologiczne zapory.
Składowisko „Żelazny Most” jest zasadniczym elementem zamkniętego obiegu technologicznego wód mineralizowanych KGHM, ich nadmiar kierowany jest do rzeki Odry. System oczyszczalni skutecznie chroni przed zanieczyszczeniem zawiesiną i metalami ciężkimi, a rurociągi umieszczone w dnie rzeki umożliwiają równomierne wymieszanie wód. Na bieżąco prowadzone są obserwacje i badania monitorujące zanieczyszczenie powietrza atmosferycznego, gleb i roślin, wód powierzchniowych i podziemnych oraz stanu zdrowotnego zwierząt gospodarskich, co stanowi podstawę do prowadzenia programów działań zmierzających do poprawy stanu środowiska.

The age old question, what's in your wallet or rather in my case, what's in my purse. I'm amazed at some of the stuff I find in there on a daily basis. I like my purse size because clearly I can fit a bunch of crap in there. A friend once told me that if you can't use your purse as an emergency flotation device, then its not a purse. I tend to agree with that statement :o).
Now do I think the contents say anything about me personally...well you be the judge. Are you surprised, is this typical of you as well, or is it to be expected of "all girls?"

No. 18 showing the Frink one-way and right wing plows. Again, I had a lot of access to these trucks but never brought the camera when it would have been easier to take a good photo. Too busy working I guess. They had a 1985 vintage RD686S in service there as well which was truck No. 3 and very similar looking to this one, although it had flotation front tires.
This truck is no longer in service with the town.
On October 24, 1901, 63-year-old Michigan school teacher Annie Edson Taylor was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel as a publicity stunt; she survived, bleeding, but virtually unharmed. Soon after exiting the barrel, she said, "No one ought ever do that again."[36] Prior to Taylor's attempt, on October 19 a domestic cat named Iagara was sent over the Horseshoe Falls in her barrel to test its strength. Contrary to rumours at the time, the cat survived the plunge unharmed and later posed with Taylor in photographs.[37] Since Taylor's historic ride, 14 people have intentionally gone over the falls in or on a device, despite her advice. Some have survived unharmed, but others have drowned or been severely injured. Survivors of such stunts face charges and stiff fines, as it is illegal, on both sides of the border, to attempt to go over the falls.
In 1918, there was a near disaster when a barge, known locally as the Niagara Scow, working upriver broke its tow, and almost plunged over the falls. Fortunately, the two workers on board saved themselves by grounding the vessel on rocks just short of the falls.[38]
Englishman Captain Matthew Webb, the first man to swim the English Channel, drowned in 1883 trying to swim the rapids down river from the falls.[39]
In the "Miracle at Niagara", Roger Woodward, a seven-year-old American boy, was swept over the Horseshoe Falls protected only by a life vest on July 9, 1960, as two tourists pulled his 17-year-old sister Deanne from the river only 20 feet (6 m) from the lip of the Horseshoe Falls at Goat Island.[40] Minutes later, Woodward was plucked from the roiling plunge pool beneath the Horseshoe Falls after grabbing a life ring thrown to him by the crew of the Maid of the Mist boat.[41][42]
On July 2, 1984, Canadian Karel Soucek from Hamilton, Ontario successfully plunged over the Horseshoe Falls in a barrel with only minor injuries. Soucek was fined $500 for performing the stunt without a license. In 1985, he was fatally injured while attempting to re-create the Niagara drop at the Houston Astrodome. His aim was to climb into a barrel hoisted to the rafters of the Astrodome and to drop 180 feet (55 m) into a water tank on the floor. After his barrel released prematurely, it hit the side of the tank and he died the next day from his injuries.[43]
In August 1985, Steve Trotter, an aspiring stunt man from Rhode Island, became the youngest person ever (age 22) and the first American in 25 years to go over the falls in a barrel. Ten years later, Trotter went over the falls again, becoming the second person to go over the falls twice and survive. It was also the second-ever "duo"; Lori Martin joined Trotter for the barrel ride over the falls. They survived the fall but their barrel became stuck at the bottom of the falls, requiring a rescue.[44]
On September 28, 1989, Niagara's own Peter DeBernardi (age 42) and Jeffery James Petkovich (age 25) became the first "team" to successfully make it over the falls in a two-person barrel. The stunt was conceived by Peter DeBenardi, who wanted to discourage youth from following in his path of addictive drug use. Peter was also trying to leave a legacy and discourage his son Kyle Lahey DeBernardi (age 2) from using addictive drugs. Peter DeBernardi had initially planned to have a different passenger. However, Peter's original partner backed out, and Peter was forced to look for an alternative. Jeffery Petkovich agreed to attempt the stunt with him. Peter claims he spent an estimated $30,000 making his barrel, made of steel and fiberglass, which had harnesses, reinforcing steel bands, and viewing ports. Peter's barrel also had a radio for music and news reports, rudders to help steer the barrel through the falls, oxygen, and a well-protected video camera to record the journey over the edge. They emerged shortly after going over with minor injuries and were charged with performing an illegal stunt under the Niagara Parks Act.[45]
On September 27, 1993 John "David" Munday, of Caistor Centre, Ontario, became the first known person to survive going over the falls twice.[46]
Kirk Jones of Canton, Michigan became the first known person to survive a plunge over the Horseshoe Falls without a flotation device on October 20, 2003. While it is still not known whether Jones was determined to commit suicide, he survived the 16-story fall with only battered ribs, scrapes, and bruises.[47][48]
A second person survived an unprotected trip over the Horseshoe Falls on March 11, 2009 and when rescued from the river, was reported to be suffering from severe hypothermia and a large wound to his head. His identity has not been released. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the man intentionally enter the water.[49][50]
On May 21, 2012, an unidentified man in his early 40s became the third person to survive an unprotected trip over the Horseshoe Falls. Eyewitness reports indicate that he "deliberately jumped" into the Niagara River after climbing over a railing.[51][52]

Henri Fabre (November 29, 1882 - June 30, 1984) was a French aviator and the inventor of Le Canard, the first seaplane in History.
Henri Fabre was born into a prominent family of shipowners in the city of Marseilles. He was educated in the Jesuit College of Marseilles, where he undertook advanced studies in sciences. He then studied intensively aeroplane and propeller designs. He patented a system of flotation devices, which he used when he succeeded in taking off from the surface of the Etang de Berre on March 28th, 1910. On that day, he completed four consecutive perfect flights, the longest about 600 meters. Henri Fabre was soon contacted by Glenn Curtiss and Gabriel Voisin who used his invention to develop their own seaplanes.
During the First World War, he established a company with 200 employees, which was specialized in the manufacture of seaplanes.
He died at the age of 101, as one of the last living pioneers of human flight.
From Wired (www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2012/03/march-28-1910-it-floa...)
1910: Henri Fabre makes the first successful seaplane flight at Martigues, near Marseilles, France.
Fabre was not alone in seeking to build a plane that could take off from water, fly successfully, and land on water … safely. Other inventors had been trying even before the Wright brothers managed to take off from and land on the ground at Kitty Hawk. The Austrian William Kress built a seaplane in 1901 that floated but wouldn’t take off. Then it wouldn’t even float, and it sank.
Gabriel Voisin and Ernest Archdeacon built a glider in 1905 that took off from the River Seine, but not on its own power: It had to be towed by a steamboat. Pioneers Louis Blèriot of France and Glenn Curtiss of the United States were also in the race, and Curtiss eventually succeeded … the year after Fabre.
Fabre’s Hydravion had an ash-wood frame with cotton covering. The floats were constructed of plywood and designed so well that they provided additional lift when the plane was aloft. It was 27 feet, 10 inches long, with a wingspan of 45 feet, 11 inches. It weighed barely over half a ton. The Chauviere propeller was mounted at the back of the plane.
Fabre had never piloted an airplane before that historic March day in 1910. He powered up the 50-horsepower Gnome 7-cylinder rotary engine and took off to an altitude of 6½ feet above the water. The Hydravion cruised at 55 mph and flew about 1¼ miles.
High visibility orange lifejackets are typically referred to as Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) or simply lifejackets.
A Mae West lifejacket is a specific type of inflatable life preserver that was widely used during World War II. It was named after the actress Mae West because, when inflated, it resembled her curvaceous figure. This lifejacket was designed to be worn by pilots and aircrew, and it could be inflated using CO2 cartridges or manually through a tube.
On their way to Floatopia Hawaii 2013 at Kaimana Beach. The police presence -- to curb drinking and to prevent unsavory incidents -- was impressive, if perhaps a bit overdone. We went for our usual walk around Diamond Head and thought we had stumbled on a Homeland Security exercise! Have never blundered into a "flash mob" before!!
A section of walkway swings from a crane over the SR 520 pontoon construction site after it's removed from top of the casting basin gate. After setting it on land, crew will remove the basin gate and tow six massive condrete pontoons from the basin. Photo taken April 28, 2013.
Progress continues on the SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project, as the second cycle of new pontoons left the Aberdeen casting basin overnight April 28 and 29, 2013. The late-night timing coincided with the favorable high tide needed for float-out.
In the second cycle, crews built three longitudinal pontoons, two supplemental stability pontoons and one cross pontoon. The 360-foot-long longitudinal pontoons are the backbone of the new SR 520 floating bridge being built on Lake Washington; the supplemental pontoons provide stability and flotation, and the cross pontoons cap the bridge on the east and west ends. Crews will build a total of six cycles of new pontoons in Aberdeen.

C-22, an M109, self-propelled 155mm howitzer, was built by Allison Division of General Motors in 1967. It entered the U.S. Army inventory on 6 Jan 1968 and was received at Letterkenny Army Depot 16 Feb 1968. C-22 was shipped to Vietnam 1 May 1968 and was issued to 6th FA BN, 1st INF DIV, on 22 June 1968.
On the night of 28 Oct 1968, at Fire Support Base Rita in the Fish Hook area in RVN, in a heavy barrage of recoilless rifle and rocket propelled grenade fire, C-22 was hit by an RPG round causing the damage which you see on the left side. Four days later C-22 was instrumental in repelling a heavy ground attack by a North Vietnamese sapper battalion supported by intense rocket and mortar barrages. It was during this action that LTC Charles C. Rogers, now Brigadier General, earned the Medal of Honor.
During this intense battle, the U.S. forces suffered 12 men killed and 54 wounded. The enemy body count inside and on the perimeter wire was 27. It was estimated that there were at least 200 bodies lying in the woods around the FSB.
C-22 served with the 6th FA BN until 13 Nov 1968 when it was retired and shipped to Tooele Army Depot, Utah. It was shipped to Fort Sill on 11 Jan 1972 and became the property of the Field Artillery Museum.
Dedicated October 1973.

This is old work of mine and wouldn't say it's representative of my style look a little further on to see some newer pieces.

This was taking in Rajhastan in Udaipur. Udaipur is home to the floating palaces, however we were there before the monsoon so the palaces weren't floating at all unfortunately, just standing. Technically they don't float they are just surrounded by water giving the illusion of flotation. This doesn't detract from how beautiful they are though and it was easily one of my favourite places in the whole of India. Every night at sunset from a cave a little down the river bed, hundreds of thousands of fruit bats would emerge every night like clockwork. They were truly majestic creatures. And I would sit and drink a beer and watch them cross the horizon.
We were staying on the top floor of a beautiful hotel and there was a sink which perhaps was an odd feature but was practical as you could wash your hands before you ate. The mirror cast a magnificent reflection. In hindsight I wish I'd taken more at the time this isn't particularly well composed, and the colours aren't vibrant enough. IT makes it look like an old photo.
I do enjoy a visual illusion. And am going to incorporate more mirrors and reflective pieces into my work.
Here's a couple of others, the first is a reflection and the second is an illusion;
