Calgary hosts two festivals around this time each winter in order to enliven the downtown core, as well as to echo the wonderful spirit that was generated during the 1988 Winter Olympics held here. More pics to come.
It was nice to see some new growth growing out of the old host trees that had been cut down may years ago. Nature will always fine a way to make it right again if given the opportunity. Loved the new dark trees wrapped around the light old growth stump. Kris..
A host of astronomical objects are scattered across this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Background galaxies ranging from stately spirals to fuzzy ellipticals are strewn across the image, while a smattering of bright foreground stars are closer to home. In the center of the image, the vague shape of the small galaxy UGC 7983 appears as a hazy cloud of light. UGC 7983 is around 30 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. It is a dwarf irregular galaxy – a type thought to be similar to the very earliest galaxies in the universe.
This image also reveals a relatively nearby astronomical interloper. A minor asteroid in our own solar system streaks across the upper left-hand side of the image. The asteroid’s trail is visible as four streaks of light separated by small gaps. These streaks of light represent the four separate exposures that were combined to create this image. The small gaps between each observation reflect filter changes inside Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys between exposures.
Capturing an asteroid was a fortunate side effect of a larger effort to observe every known galaxy close to the Milky Way. Hubble had imaged roughly 75% of all the Milky Way’s near galactic neighbors, when a group of astronomers proposed using the gaps between longer Hubble observations to capture images of the remaining 25%. The project was an elegant efficient way to fill gaps in Hubble's observing schedule and in our knowledge of nearby galaxies.

She's laying eggs on their host plant, stinging nettle - otherwise known as burning weed or itchweed. That nasty chemical cocktail is evidently relished by the red admiral caterpillars!

Foto presa amb una càmera Kodak Pocket, fabricada el 1895; pel·licula Fomapan 100 de 35mm adaptada al format 102, revelada amb HC110.
Aquest és l'antic Hostal Els Munts, a Sant Boi de Lluçanès, actualment una residencia d'avis.
Fotografies amb una de les càmeres de pel·licula més antigues que tinc, una Kodak Pocket del 1895. El format 102 va deixar de fabricar-se el 1949, i és impossible de trobar. Per sort tinc dos "spools", pel que he creat una imitació de rodet de 102: retallant el paper protector del usual format 120 i fent servir pel·licula de 35mm com a substitut de la pel·licula original, de mida força similar.
================================================
Picture taken with a very early Kodak Pocket, made in 1895; Fomapan 100 35mm film respooled as 102 roll-film; developed with HC110.
This is the Hostal dels Munts, a former hotel in Sant Boi de Lluçanès, now a nursing home. I remember eating here several times when it was still a hotel in the 80's.
Some photos with one of the oldest film cameras I have, an 1895 Kodak Pocket. The 102 format stopped being made in 1949, and is almost impossible to find, even expired. Luckily I have two 102 spools, so I created an imitation of 102 roll-film: cutting the backing paper from the usual 120 format and using 35mm film as a replacement for the original film, which was of quite similar size.
Ålgårds kvarn och såg finns omnämnd i den äldsta bevarade skattelängden för Norge, den så kallade gengärden från 1528. Där nämns ”Moghens på Aalgaard”. Samma Moghens betalade 1542 en tunna ål och tre tunnor mjöl i skatt, enligt den äldsta bevarade jordeboken, från ca 1542. Samma skatt betalas senare under 1500-talet av både Nils och Olof på Ålgård.
Både kvarn och såg nämns 1594 i den norska biskopen Jens Nilssöns visitatsböcker och reiseoptegnelser. Enligt texten är en såg nyss byggd, den enda sågen på Orust.

Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag 2018-10-28 på temat lång exponering. Motivet är badbryggan i Kivik. Solen har precis gått ner bakom träden innan klockan slagit 18:00. Höstfärgerna målar den lilla byn. Tidens tand tuggar på, snart är det sommar, liv, rörelse, skratt och lek igen. Tills dess vilar den gamla badbryggan, vilar och njuter av havets kraft och skönhet.
