Aah, a month ago, I was in the French Alps... enjoying a lovely week of snowboarding, good food and the occasional drink. And don't forget the jacuzzi and sauna! 😉
I know casual outfits aren't my most popular outfits here on Flickr.. but I do really like this shot!
Hope you're all having a good one! 😊

A lot of people have asked what comes next.
The answer? We don't know any better than you do.
I know that I met this amazing, funny, sweet person, and I'm completely wild over her. That I've had her in every minute of my life for the last week, and that every minute felt right. And that tomorrow everything changes.
After that?
I really can't say. I wish I knew. Really, we're taking it minute by minute and sometimes it feels like we're spinning out of control.
We say our strange goodbyes and go back to phonecalls and webcams - the technologies that once seemed fresh and exciting are a step backward; a step apart. It's going to be hard. I know that much.
I'm hoping a California trip is in the cards.
But I can only see as far as Monday. School begins. Xelia will be gone. We're left with memories and marks; a cold spot in the bed where someone is missing.
Il y aura d'autres mots, d'autres feuilles qui couvriront tes gênes,
D'autres mâts en atteintes sur des ports incongrus,
Des peaux confondues et chevelures lierres
Qui feront de leur miel d'adorables prisons,
D'autres étoles vaines qui font sonner la fugue et font fuir la peine,
Pour un instant,
Il y aura toujours cette grève derrière les paravents,
Un pays cache qui brûle mes lèvres
En dépit des étangs..

An old friend took me to The Lost Gardens of Apollo around the second month of my Second Life. Quite frankly, I was stunned at that time. I had never been to such a magical place before except in my imagination. At the time, I thought the place must stretch between a minimum of (4) sims. There were so many places there to see and visit.
The floating pools, the towers, the gardens, all the pathways leading to cuddle zones and the buildings and walkways kept you there for hours. And with a loved one, you could experience a dreamy, exotic place for romance and exploration...
Xavier and I went back to Dane Zander's Lost Gardens to revisit the place. We both love Salsa y Boleros, the elegant ballroom on the platforms. This was the place of our first date so we went back in holiday clothes to reminisce about that time. And we couldn't help but explore the sim again.
Sometimes, when you go back to a place, the experience isn't quite the same. You've been there and the impact isn't quite as strong, but going back to Apollo's... well, the impact is still there. We stayed for hours. The Lost Gardens holds and mesmerizes you. The place is magic without the bling. An elegance in design and purpose, The Lost Gardens of Apollo is one of the finest sim builds on the entire grid. This is a sim to be preserved... no matter what virtual world you are in.

Fisheye Friday
I have been tagged by Anam Cara Photography ॐ to share 8 things about me. So here goes ...
A. List 8 habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag 8 people to do the same.
1. When I was a child I was always singing. One night I went to a restaurant with my parents and ended up on top of a table entertaining all the guests who, in return, showered me with candy. Hard to imagine now considering I can’t carry a tune to safe my life. One even more embarrassing episode was when I started singing “By the rivers of Babylon” at a funeral. My parents were mortified and I’m never going to live that one down.
2. I have got a severe dislike of nylon and it will not come anywhere near my body. At the age of 8 I decided I could not stand wearing tights any longer and just refused to put them on. I have not even touched them ever since, just the thought makes my skin crawl. And I don’t care if it is freezing outside, for me it is socks and socks only!
3. I can write in reverse so if you hold the paper up to a mirror it will display correctly. Not block letters, proper joint up writing.
4. I’ve always dreamed of owning a classic Beetle Convertible but the men in my life never let me have it. When I was 18 and bought my first car my dad, who is a mechanic, told me straight out that if I buy a Beetle he would refuse to fix it and I have to take it to a garage if something goes wrong. I suppose he had a point, they are not very practical in a country with -40 degrees and snow for 5 months. And now my husband won’t budge either. He did promise that he would buy me one if we ever win the lottery. I’ve already told him it has to be white and I want a big yellow daisy painted on the bonnet.
5. When I first came to London over 13 years ago I shared a house with 12 people from all over the world. We had Aussies, Kiwis, South Africans, Canadians, Irish and English. I stayed there for 5 years and had the best time ever. Always some kind of party going on and lots of BBQs thanks to our friends from the Southern hemisphere.
6. I need my sleep and I LOVE my bed! It has the most comfortable mattress in the world and if I only had 2 items to take to a desert island, my bed would definitely be one of them. After all, a girl needs her beauty sleep, right?
7. I love entertaining and the most pleasurable night for me is having friends around for dinner. I can spend hours going through cookbooks planning the menu and then potter in the kitchen all afternoon. So much more rewarding than going out to a crowded and noisy pub. As a result we often have friends staying for the weekend. When I was off work last summer I even started making towel animals for the guest room. One of my friends almost doubled over laughing when she saw my little towel dog and decided it was definitely time for me to go back to work before I turn into Bree Van de Kamp Hodge.
8. I’m addicted to Crispy Bacon Wheat Crunchies. I usually don’t mind sharing my food but when it comes to them, fingers off! They are mine alone. Unfortunately they only come in little 25g bags and every time I go to the supermarket I secretly hope that they have started packaging them in big family size bags. No luck so far, I’ll have to carry on wishing …
So there it is....I've tagged 8 of you now! Of course PLEASE, PLEASE understand, there's no obligation to answer, but I found it a more fun exercise than I thought, and I'd love to learn more ('cause I'm also nosy) about you..

Ferrybridge C Power Station, Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire
This is Ferrybridge C Power station, a coal fuelled power station in West Yorkshire. I have always wanted to visit this power station, infact any power station as I had never visited one before so when I met up with Mark Hepples last weekend we drove here as I had a few hours before I had to head back South. The conditions were great for the long exposure image I had in mind, the only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of steam coming out of the cooling towers. I suppose we were there on a Sunday and it was after everyone had make their breakfast and also with the weather being that bit warmer and lighter means that people don't have to use as much power. It was almost like it was just ticking over unlike its cousin few miles away, Eggborough power station was pumping out the steam but sadly we didn't have time to visit that one, maybe Eggborough was doing all the work.
I have gone for a very severe crop on this image as I really wanted to emphasise the towers and the sky, really trying to help give the viewer a sense of scale and proportion. In the original I have the River Aire in the lower part of the image and in a future upload I will include this for you. Also one thing I did struggle with in the post production was trying to bring out the detailing on the steam coming out of the cooling towers. You can see it on a couple of the towers but not all, mainly because its blended in with the tones of the sky. I think my next visit will be in Winter when its much cooler and it will be working harder which will give better steam plumes but overall I really like this image.
On a separate note, I decided to get my sensor cleaned at Fixation in Vauxhall, London. I know, most of you will be tutting at me or calling me a wimp for not doing it myself ;-). I just didn't wanted to risk doing it myself on my main camera with the risk of breaking it, I am going to practice first on my old camera.
Hope you all had a great weekend and have a good Monday.

Information
The Ferrybridge power stations refers to a series of three coal-fired power stations situated on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, England. The first station on the site, Ferrybridge A power station, was constructed in the mid-1920s, and was closed as the second station, Ferrybridge B power station, was brought into operation in the 1950s. The A station has been retained since it closed. In the 1960s, Ferrybridge C power station was opened with a generating capacity of 2000 megawatts, which at the time was the largest of any power station in the UK. The B and C stations operated together until the B station's closure in the 1990s. The B station has since been demolished.
Ferrybridge C power station is currently the only power station operating on the site. Since 2004 is operated by SSE plc. It is capable of co-firing biomass and is currently being fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant. There are plans to build a fourth, D station on the site.
On 1 November 1965, three of the cooling towers collapsed due to vibrations in 85 mph winds. Although the structures had been built to withstand higher wind speeds, the design only considered average wind speeds over one minute and neglected shorter gusts. Furthermore, the grouped shape of the cooling towers meant that westerly winds were funnelled into the towers themselves, creating a vortex. Three out of the original eight cooling towers were destroyed and the remaining five were severely damaged. The towers were rebuilt and all eight cooling towers were strengthened to tolerate adverse weather conditions. Following the accident, it was expected that the station would not be opened for some time after the scheduled date. However it was possible to connect one of the remaining towers to the first completed generating set and the station began generating soon after the expected date. The reconstruction of the destroyed towers began in April 1966. The station first fed electricity into the National Grid on 27 February 1966. It was the first 2000 MW power station in Europe.
Sitges, Barcelona (Spain).
Carrer d'en Bosc is the oldest street of Sitges. It is the old way of round that followed the profile of the wall, to that were leaned these houses of 14th century.
El Carrer d'en Bosc es el rincón más antiguo de Sitges. Se trata del antiguo camino de ronda que seguía el perfil de la muralla, a la que estaban adosadas estas casas del siglo XIV.
ENGLISH
Sitges’ name comes from the Pre-Roman word "sitja" that means "deep hole or grain warehouse". Already before the Neolithic period, the first Sitgetans dwelled in the place known as cave point, (past the Terramar Golf Club) and at the La Punta (the Point) headland, where the church and town hall are today. The archaeological remains found recently show that an Iberian settlement already exited there back in the 4th-3rd century BC. Present studies confirm that there were two small town centers in Sitges back in the 1st century. One around the La Punta headland and another at the Vinyet chapel. Joined together with Roman Olérdola, Sitges’ port was a point of exchange for products between the Penedés region and other places from the Roman Mediterranean.
The castle, located at the top of the La Punta headland, today the Town Hall, built on the foundations of the ancient castle in 1889, was first owned by the Barcelona Seo, or cathedral, which ceded it by fief to Count Mir Geribert (1041). In the 12th century, Sitges was under the fief of the Sitges’s, a family that adopted the town’s name as their own last name. The Sitges family has been documented from 1116 up to 1308. The family’s last member, Agnès de Sitges, sold her fief rights to Bernat de Fonollar, who was Lord from 1306 to 1326. After the death of his second wife, Blanca de Abella, by testamentary decision, Sitges was placed in the hands of the Pia Almoina (an almshouse) until 1814. Bernat de Fonollar was a knight who was directly related to King Juame II’s court. The tombs of both this nobleman and his wife are in the Sant Bartomeu & Santa Tecla church, on the left-hand side as you enter. During these centuries, Sitgetans’ lives were organized around the bastion headland, where the parish church, cemetery, hospital, castle and a small group of houses were, all surrounded by a first enclosure and connected to the rest of the town via a bridge over calle Mayor, or Main St. The rest of the village consisted of Nou, Tacó and Carreta streets, that lead down to the sea and all had their respective gates, L’Aigua street with another gate and Devallada street. The presence of these gates shows that the entire village was surrounded by a second rampart. It is also known that there were 3 towers located at the Bastion, behind the old Hospital (today the Maricel Museum) and Bosc street, possibly built in 1303. They are part of the Sitges Coat of Arms.

CASTELLANO
El nombre de Sitges proviene de "sitja" de procedencia prerromana que significa "hoyo profundo, depósito de grano". Los primeros sitgetanos habitaban, ya antes del neolítico, el lugar conocido como la punta de las cuevas (pasado el golf Terramar) y en el promontorio de la Punta, donde hoy se encuentra la iglesia y el Ayuntamiento, los restos arqueológicos encontrados últimamente demuestran la existencia de un asentamiento ibérico ya en el siglo IV-III AC. Los estudios actuales constatan que en el siglo I, en Sitges habían dos pequeños núcleos de población. Uno alrededor del promontorio de la Punta y otro en la ermita del Vinyet. Unida a la Olérdola romana, el puerto sitgetano sirvió de intercambio entre los productos del Penedés y de otros lugares del Mediterraneo romano.
El castillo, situado en lo alto del promontorio de la Punta, hoy Ayuntamiento y que fue construido sobre los cimientos del antiguo castillo en el 1889, tuvo como primer propietario la Seo de Barcelona que lo cedió en feudo al conde Mir Geribert (1041). En el siglo XII, Sitges estaba bajo el feudo de los Sitges, familia que adoptó el topónimo de la villa como apellido. La família Sitges está documentada desde el año 1116 hasta el año 1308. El último miembro de la família Agnès de Sitges vendió sus derechos de feudo a Bernat de Fonollar que fue señor desde 1306 al 1326. Despues de la muerte de su segunda mujer, Blanca de Abella, Sitges pasó, por decisión testamentaria, a manos de la Pia Almoina y lo fue hasta 1814. Bernat de Fonollar fue un caballero directamente relacionado con la corte del rey Jaume II. Las tumbas del noble y de su mujer están en la iglesia de Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, entrando a mano izquierda. La vida de los sitgetanos de estos siglos se organiza alrededor el promontorio del baluarte, donde estaba la iglesia parroquial, el cementerio, el hospital, el castillo y un reducido núcleo de casas, todo cerrado por un primer recinto y conectaba con el resto de la villa por un puente encima de la calle Mayor. El resto del pueblo lo conforman las calles Nou, Tacó y Carreta que manaban al mar y estaban cerrados por sus respectivos portales, la calle de l'Aigua con otro portal y el de la Devallada. La presencia de estos portales demuestra que toda la villa estaba enmurallada por un segundo recinto. se conoce, también la existencia de 3 torres situadas en el Baluarte, detrás del antiguo Hospital (actual Museo Maricel) y en la calle de Bosc, posiblemente levantadas en el año 1303. Dibujadas en el escudo de Sitges.
Yesterday proved to be a super long day, and Starbucks was the only thing getting me through it. Woke up around 2:30 am and worked until 7pm.. fun
I'm working as the Still Photographer for a student-film production in Philadelphia entitled "My Sixties Girl" (mysixtiesgirl.com). Some promo stills from the first 2 days of shooting will come soon!
Until the.. enjoy the starbucks, as I did! :)
This part starts with me. And Tim. And my house. I rode my cycle in with Tim on my tail, parked it, and hopped off. Tim stepped off his monster ATV as well, and approached me with his little weaponized stick in hand.
"Hey buddy. Like my home?" I asked.
"I do like what you've done with the floor. The broken windows are nice too."he replied sarcastically.
"Well, you didn't seem to notice this guy," I said, holding up a trigger that had been sitting next to me. "Aren't you gonna ask what it is?"
"Wait," he remarked confused while turning his head to follow the connection. "That's a trigger."
"Sure is," I told him. "I was gonna wait to take this building down, but since I'm all packed up for my new home and you came to help... Ciao!"
I pushed the trigger. I knew I'd have exactly a minute to vacate the premises, but he obviously didn't know. The look on his face was precious, but he wasn't gonna stick around for more. He turned and ran straight to his ATV. I was already out of the building, so I'm not sure how far he got, or even if he made it out alive before it blew. But anyway, I'm off to my new base now...

I love voyaging forth into nature to contemplate poetry, physics, the golden ratio, and the Tao te Ching! What's your favorite epic poetry reflecting epic landscapes? I recently finished a book titled Epic Poetry for Epic Landscape Photographers:
www.facebook.com/Epic-Poetry-for-Epic-Landscape-Photograp...
Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!
www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon_National_Park
Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.
Source: www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm
Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

Yesterday evening around sunset I got *the jitters*... I was tired from work, would I go out with the camera or stay in? I saw some interesting cloud activity so I decided to give it a go and bike in the direction of Overschie to see if *something would happen*.
What I found was a stunning double rainbow, some of the weirdest light and clouds I ever saw and... the decision to flee back home or stay, shoot and get completely soaked as a bonus.
I decided to stay and get washed away. :) Here's the first part (which is actually part II, err nevermind) of what I saw and experienced yesterday only *just* before sunset. Enjoy your weekend, and yes... I'll be catching up soon!
THX for viewing folks! Faves and comments are always welcome! Have a nice day.

Ju-287
Please watch this and many other fantastic creations here: www.flickr.com/photos/einon/
I have already built some Luft46 projects, like the Blohm + Voss P.188.03, but I wanted to build a different project this time. The Ju-287 was a German test-bed bomber built in the end of the war, but the Germans were developing new and more advanced versions like the EF-140.
The real story:
This Ju-287 version is the EF-140, a prototype only built after the war by the Soviets. The first flight was in 1948, using two Klimov VK-1 jet engines. If the WW2 had continued, it might have been built by the germans and used as a tactical bomber against England and the URSS.
Alternate Story (what if? 1945-47)
The prototype was powered by two BMW 109-018 jet engines, featured a revolutionary forward-swept wing and, like other bombers built by Junkers, it carried a pressure cabin housing the three man crew. The defensive guns were all remotely controlled.
Operationally, the plane was called Ju-287 A-5. A small squadron of 5 Ju-287s A-5 operating from Norway, each plane armed with two Hs 296, tried to sink the soviet battleship Sovetsky Soyuz in 1946. The battleship eventually was hit two times but managed to survive and return to Murmansk. Two Ju-287 A-5 bombers were shot down during the attack. The fast bomber was also used with great success against the Soviet army, being too fast for the soviet fighters to catch up. This led the soviets to develop mixed rocket-and-propeller fighters to defend it´s troops.
In May 1947, a few weeks before the “end of the war”, a total of 350 Ju-287 A-5 were used in the Second Battle of Britain. Half of them were lost in less than a week, most to the new British jet fighters like the De Havilland Vampire and the Gloster Meteor.
Henschel Hs 296 Flying bomb (invented by me)
The Henschel Hs 296 was a radio-controlled flying bomb carrying a 750kg armour-piercing charge. The bomb was developed from the Fieseler Fi 103 Flying bomb (also know as V-1) and was guided to the target using a “Tonne-Seedorf” TV guidance system built for the Hs 293D. It had a range of 30km and was propelled by 2 Schmidding SG 34 solid fuel rocket boosters (1,200 kg for 10 seconds each).
