Given the weather most of us have had, it took a few days before I could photograph our new Harrier in sunshine. This is taken in early morning sunshine which offers both advantages and disadvantages. Once again , I indulged myself with several shots. This emphasises the distinctive GR3 nose.

The tigers in Sariska are tagged so the rangers know approximately where they are at any given time. Number Six was said to be “just over that hill”, so we headed in that direction. No sign. Just as we were turning round to go out of the park, we met a tourist jeep who claimed to have seen him, so the guide told us to “hold on tight” and we set off at break neck speed up the hill. Sure enough, there behind the trees was a tiger. You could only just about make him out through the foliage.
After a couple of minutes the tiger got up and started walking along, bored with lying camouflaged in the jungle. The driver anticipated where he would come out on the road, and he was right.
Without a single glance at our Jeep, the tiger nonchalantly walked along the road, where we followed him for several minutes. Occasionally he would stop and sniff (smell the flowers?) or mark his territory.
Around the last bend we spotted a man (possibly a ranger) on foot in the road ahead. We tried to signal to him to go back, but he was taking no notice of us, nor had he seen the tiger. Then the tiger spotted him too, and the driver shouted as loud as I have ever heard any man shout, with the rest of us joining in for good measure. That did the trick - it scared both the man and the tiger. The man ran off and the tiger turned to see where the noise came from and automatically made a charge. The driver slammed the car into reverse, but the tiger changed his mind and jumped back up into the jungle again. Just as well as we were only about 20 metres away at this time, in an open Jeep.
We could still see him in amongst the trees, and followed him as far as we could before he went further into the jungle, heading for the waterhole; and we rushed off to get to the gates before they closed at 18:00.
What an exciting afternoon!

Bergen has given a warm welcome to its visitors for more than 900 years. Bryggen has become a symbol of our cultural heritage and has gained a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
The old Hanseatic wharf is architecturally unique and is perhaps one of the most familiar image in all of Norway.
Ever since the intrepid King Olav Kyrre sailed into the harbour and founded the city in 1070, Bergen has attracted people from all quarters of the world. Some came and went, others decided to make Bergen their home. Bergensers travelled abroad and learned and so Bergen became a melting-pot of cultures and Norway's most international city.
Bergen grew up around its colourful harbour - it was the hub of commerce, seafaring and crafts-manship. We became the north's largest city, Norway's first capital city and the seat of royalty. So important was Bergen by the 13th century that the Hansas - the German medieval guild of merchants - opened one of their four European offices on the wharf called Bryggen.
Some of the Hansas chose to become Bergensers. And so have many others throughout the centuries. But Bryggen stays the same, its contour just as it was in the 11th century, untouched by shifting times. It has become a symbol of our cultural heritage and has gained a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Bergen has become a World Heritage City.
Portuguese Discoveries is the name given to the intensive maritime exploration by the Portuguese during the 15th and 16th centuries. Portuguese sailors were at the vanguard of European overseas exploration, discovering and mapping the coasts of Africa, Asia and Brazil, in what became known as the Age of Discovery. Methodical expeditions started in 1419 along West Africa's coast under the sponsorship of prince Henry the Navigator, with Bartolomeu Dias reaching the Cape of Good Hope and entering the Indian Ocean in 1488. Ten years later, Vasco da Gama led the first fleet around Africa to India, arriving in Calicut and starting a maritime route from Portugal to India. Soon, after reaching Brazil, explorations proceed to southeast Asia, having reached Japan in 1542.

Was recently given some 70's Tri-x to try. It had been refrigerated as far as I know all that time.
I stand developed in Rodinal for 1 hour diluted to 1-100. 20 inversions at the start and 2 more at 30 mins.
Shot at 400 ASA ( It was from the 70's)
After a bit more research I think the film may in fact be from the 80's as it is dx coded which I don't think was introduced until the early 80's. however if you know different please let me know.
I should also say that it had been unexposed all that time. I then exposed it and developed it.
The CPMR’s Intermediterranean Commission (IMC) has given its full backing to key plans for a territorial alliance aimed at developing a long-term strategy to build a sustainable future for all citizens in the Mediterranean.
The ‘Mediterranean Cooperation Alliance Joint Declaration’ was signed by political representatives from 5 Mediterranean organisations - including the IMC, the Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée (EPM), MedCities, Latin Arc, and the Adriatic-Ionian Euroregion - at a major international seminar on ‘The Future of the Mediterranean Region after 2020’, held in Barcelona on 4 February being co-organized by the Catalan Government, the EPM and the IMC and attended by more than 200 participants.
This event and signature were performed in the broader framework of the “Mediterranean Catalonia Forum,” that focused on reinforcing the importance of the Mediterranean worldwide and the crucial role of regional cooperation in the EU and Euro-Mediterranean agenda and policies.
It was held back-to-back with the renewal of the Presidency of the Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée, from the Government of Catalonia to the Balearic Islands, and the organisation of the CPMR Intermediterranean Commission Political Bureau.
The signature of the “Mediterranean Cooperation Alliance” was attended in particular by politicians of all the involved networks and will remain open for other key actors to endorse it in the future.
Its priorities, among others, are as follows:
• The demands that governing institutions – considering the post-2020 horizon and the two next programming periods – work harder towards the implementation and integration of emerging sea basin, macro-regional strategies and other connected initiatives and cooperation instruments, so as to build a common, more cohesive sustainable and co-owned Mediterranean macro-region involving all the territorial actors;
• Structuring a strong and operational multi-level and multi-stakeholder network, in order to work – together with EU and Euro-Mediterranean Institutions - in a more integrated way in the long run, to design and develop common projects and to support policies based on capitalization of results (e.g. from the Interreg MED Thematic Communities);
• Offering firm support to cooperation at political and technical levels between regional and local stakeholders in the EU, the IPA countries and non-European Mediterranean partner countries, as well as among all the components of the four helix: public and private sector, academia and non-governmental organizations/civil society.
The Shepherds' Field Chapel is the name given to a religious building of the Catholic church that is in the area of Beit Sahur southeast of Bethlehem in the West Bank in Palestine. The chapel marks the place where, according to Catholic tradition, the angels first announced the birth of Christ.
It is a chapel built by the Franciscans and that is very close but separated from other structure belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church. Its history dates back to the fifth century when the first sanctuary was built. The present chapel was built near the ruins of an ancient monastery in 1953 self-published source] with the design of architect A. Barluzzi and decorated with images of the annunciation to the shepherds and childhood of Jesus.
It has five apses that mimic the structure of a nomadic tent in gray. The words of the angel to the shepherds incristas gold. Under the church is a large cave. An image depicting the birth of Jesus can be seen in the place. The Status Quo, a 250-year old understanding between religious communities, applies to the site.

Given today's news that we have experienced the hottest June and July since 2006 I think I now understand why I have been so rough. Sharp-eyed viewers may have noted that nearly all my shots have been evening ones as it has been too hot to venture out with a camera. Now that the weather has broken I ventured out for the first mid-afternoon in a long while and found 20+ seals were in at Brancaster, sunning themselves and taking relaxation to a whole new level.

While the adult goats and sheep were merrily accepting bundles of herbs from the crowds, the juveniles were being served by the zoo staff. They were being given their t;uck in trays laid out in their enclosure. Here a group of kids (juvenile goats) dig in, quite unmindful of he teeming and catcalling crowds around them.

Given that the water temperature must be close to freezing, I think it takes some dedication to your sport to go out and try fly fishing when the air temperature is in the low 20's. Shot taken at Barton Dam (note the ice in the background) in Ann Arbor.
Given that we're basically going to be camping in our new old home for several months, I'm trying to be super-orderly about the packing because chances are that a lot of things won't be unpacked at all, so if I want to read Harry Potter, I want to know what box it's in!

The Lesser Sand Plover (Charadrius mongolus) is a small wader in the plover family of birds. The spelling is commonly given as Lesser Sandplover, but the official British Ornithologists' Union spelling is Lesser Sand Plover.
There are five races, and the large east Asian forms, C. m. mongolus and C. m. stegmanni, are sometimes[2] given specific status as Mongolian Plover, Charadrius mongolus. If the taxonomic split is accepted, Lesser Sandplover as then defined becomes Charadrius atrifrons, including the three races atrifrons, pamirensis and schaeferi.
It breeds above the tree line in the Himalayas and discontinuously across to bare coastal plains in north-eastern Siberia, with the Mongolian Plover in the eastern part of the range; it has also bred in Alaska. It nests in a bare ground scrape, laying three eggs. This species is strongly migratory, wintering on sandy beaches in east Africa, south Asia and Australasia. It is a very rare vagrant in western Europe, but, surprisingly, of the three individuals recorded in Great Britain up to 2003, one was a Mongolian Plover.
Non violence is one the five vratas given to us by Lord Mahavira. But, do we understand it fully in essence of the term? Do you want to know more about what did the Lord intend to tell us about Ahimsa? Check out the following video to get a better understanding about non-violence.

Much of the province has been given over to several national parks. Top destinations are Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, Ao Nang,[7] Railay, and Ko Phi Phi. The province includes over 80 smaller islands such as Ko Lanta and Phi Phi, well-known to adventurers, yachtsmen, scuba-divers, snorkelers, and day-trippers from Phuket. Krabi's beaches attract both native Thai people and foreigners alike.
Ko Lanta National Park, also in Krabi Province, includes several coral-fringed islands with well-known diving sites. The largest island, Ko Lanta Yai, is the site of park headquarters, and is also home to "Chao Le", or sea gypsies, who sustain themselves largely through fishing. The islands are best visited during the drier months of October through April.
Kayaking, sailing, bird watching, snorkeling are also among top activities. In the interior, two predominantly mainland national parks, Khao Phanom Bencha National Park and Than Bokkhorani, offer inland scenic attractions including waterfalls and caves, and opportunities for trekking, bird watching, and eco-tours.
The rock faces at Railay Beach near Ao Nang have attracted climbers from all over the world and each year are the venue for the Rock and Fire Festival. There are several rock climbing schools at Railay Beach. The rock is limestone and has characteristic pockets, overhangs and faces. Railay has numerous multi-pitch areas most of which start from the beach itself. A famous example is "Humanality". In addition, deep water soloing is popular on the numerous nearby rocky islands accessible by long-tail boat.
She was bought in Italy by Daniel Adamson, the first chairman of the Manchester Ship Canal Company, and given to the Manchester Central Library by his family
There is a bit of a mystery about what she is reading - we know that it was originally a poem called The Angel's Story which was printed on paper and pasted into her marble book but, by the time she came to the library, this had disappeared and the library has never been able to trace the poem since.
"Daniel Adamson was an English engineer and the driving force behind the inception of the Manchester Ship Canal during the 1880s. Born in Shildon, County Durham, Adamson was educated at Edward Walton Quaker school, Old Shildon, until the age of thirteen, when he left to become an apprentice to Timothy Hackworth, engineer to the Stockton and Darlington Railway. By 1850, he had risen to become general manager of the Stockton and Darlington engine works and moved to become manager of Heaton Foundry in Stockport and established a small iron works in Newton in 1851. He specialised in engine and boiler making, initially following designs created by Hackworth, making and exporting the renowned 'Manchester Boilers'. But he is famous for being a champion of the ship canal and organised the first meeting about the project on June 17, 1882. It was attended by 68 people including the mayors of Manchester and surrounding towns, leaders of commerce and industry, banker and financiers, and the canal's eventual designer Edward Leader Williams. Adamson was elected chairman of the provisional committee promoting the Ship Canal, and was at the forefront in pushing the scheme through Parliament.
The canal itself, proposed as a direct route for shipping vessels to Manchester, opened in 1894 and cost about £15m.
But Adamson did not live to see its completion and died at home in Didsbury on 13 January 1890. He is buried at Southern Cemetery, Mancheseter at grave A 39a." Manchester Evening News
Given the height of this wall I cannot believe that this can be other than the Great Enclosure, however the curvature doesn't look correct.
Given to the French by the Egyptians in the 1800s, King Louis Philippe placed it on the spot where the guillotine stood.
During the French Revolution, the Place de la Concorde was called the Place de la Révolution and executions took place here, including the execution of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Maximilien Robespierre.
