VIDEO: Walking around in a maxi dress, trying not get my heels caught in the dress! :-P

 

Bloggity blog blog

 

Nothing like a couple of days of rain in the Netherlands to make me think back to my sunny holiday. I'm soooo wishing I was back in France sipping on some rosé!

 

Did I say I like sun? Lots of sun! The sunshine really invites to wearing short dress, skirts, shorts and swimsuits, but sometimes, it so nice to wear a long flowy maxi dress. And I love the movements of the dress as the warm wind blows against it. :)

 

I'm usually a fan of super figure-hugging clothes ( while I still have the body for it :-P ), but with a maxi dress.. I just love how it's very loose-fitting and roomy. And another advantage.. I didn't need to rub my legs with sunscreen that day.. so yay for being lazy! :-P

The biggest full moon of 2009 could be seen on the 10th of January. Above photo was captured on 10 January around sunset. The giant moon was rising in the east. It was the biggest and brightest one of 2009, sure to wow even seasoned observers.

Earth, the moon and the sun are all bound together by gravity, which keeps us going around the sun and keeps the moon going around us as it goes through phases. The moon makes a trip around Earth every 29.5 days. But the orbit is not a perfect circle. One portion is about 50,000 km closer to our planet than the farthest part, so the moon's apparent size in the sky changes. Saturday night the moon will be at perigee, the closest point to us on this orbit. The biggest Full Moon of 2009 and it will appear about 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during 2009, according to NASA. A similar setup occurred last December. This month's full moon is known as the Wolf Moon from Native American folklore. The full moon's of each month are named. January's is also known as the Snow Moon. At moon rise, the moon will appear even larger than it will later in the night when it's higher in the sky. This is an illusion that scientists can't fully explain. Some think it has to do with our perception of things on the horizon vs. stuff overhead.

 

Photo of the lighthouse taken at Marken island. Ice fishers walking on the ice-fields of the Gouwsea. Looking out over the infinite sea and it seems they stopped to watch the biggest and brightest moon of 2009. I took this photo from the southern dike. Besides this amazing moon rising there was also a beautiful sunset on the opposite site.

 

The lighthouse 'Horse of Marken' stands on its own tiny island at the end of a narrow causeway and is almost completely surrounded by water, which makes its location so photogenic. Particularly in winter, when after a long period of frost during which the IJsselmeer was largely frozen over the thaw set in and the ice was starting to drift you could shoot spectacular pictures here. These two fishermen went with a sliding carriage, fishing net and an axe for ice fishing like their ancestors in Marken. Finally after 12 years without ice they could go ice fishing again. Fishing for sparkling and flounder was a nice additional income in those days. It looks like fun but not without risk. In the old days fishermen felt with regularity in a ice-field hole and became super cooled or even drowned.

La capacità di superare ostacoli nell'ambiente esterno al nido è dovuto soprattutto all'intelligenza collettiva delle colonie di formiche. Le singole operaie, tuttavia, hanno una capacità di apprendimento ed un'intelligenza individuale relativamente sviluppata. Esperimenti di laboratorio mostrano che le operaie riescono a districarsi facilmente da labirinti di media complessità, capacità che sfruttano durante l'approvvigionamento delle risorse alimentari nell'ambiente esterno al nido.[senza fonte] Qui, le operaie si orientano grazie agli spostamenti del sole (come gran parte degli insetti) ed ai riferimenti materiali, oltre che alle tracce di feromone rilasciate sulla superficie del terreno dalle compagne.

Ants are social insects of the family Formicidae (pronounced /fɔrˈmɪsəˌdiː/), and along with the related wasps and bees, they belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants.[3] Today, more than 12,500 species are classified with upper estimates of about 22,000 species.[4][5][6] They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and a distinctive node-like structure that forms a slender waist.

Ants form colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organised colonies which may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. These larger colonies consist mostly of sterile wingless females forming castes of "workers", "soldiers", or other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called "drones" and one or more fertile females called "queens". The colonies are sometimes described as superorganisms because the ants appear to operate as a unified entity, collectively working together to support the colony.[7]

Ants have colonised almost every landmass on Earth. The only places lacking indigenous ants are Antarctica and certain remote or inhospitable islands. Ants thrive in most ecosystems, and may form 15–25% of the terrestrial animal biomass.[8] Their success has been attributed to their social organisation and their ability to modify habitats, tap resources, and defend themselves. Their long co-evolution with other species has led to mimetic, commensal, parasitic, and mutualistic relationships.[9]

Ant societies have division of labour, communication between individuals, and an ability to solve complex problems.[10] These parallels with human societies have long been an inspiration and subject of study.

Many human cultures make use of ants in cuisine, medication and rituals. Some species are valued in their role as biological pest control agents.[11] However, their ability to exploit resources brings ants into conflict with humans, as they can damage crops and invade buildings. Some species, such as the red imported fire ant, are regarded as invasive species, since they have established themselves in new areas where they have been accidentally introduced.

I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go

I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go

I'm going to some place where I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine

Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away

All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today

Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but We might even leave

the USA 'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play

No use of you running, or screaming and crying

'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine

Well, my morning laziness did not last very long. Work and life woke me up from my slumber and I had to start my moving my feet and my hands. If you are confused about this comment, visit here

 

In celebration of this mood, I post this image that I took this Sunday. No matter how lazy, I feel during my work week, on Sundays I am always awake and ready even at 3.30 am.

 

This image was taken at one of our secret locations, that my buddy Prabhakaran and I discovered. This time around we had a friend who was a willing model to our enhance our sunrise captures.

 

Rise and Shine, my dear friends. Life is good.

An affair to remember!

Life has been a wonderful affair for my wife and I who have enjoyed so much our life together. It seems we’ve known each other since we were born. She told me today: Curiosity has been our trademark and I must agree wholeheartedly.

Have a great day, enjoy life and love your family, friends or acquaintances! Love conquers all...

Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir. Sudddenly, all people, coming and going, formed a perfect line of silhouettes. I took a shot and felt uneasy: there was really a weird sense of them being after me, vaguely threatening, oppressive, like an army of zombies with no face in the backlight ! A second later, the pattern broke down and they were just people enjoying the late sun...

The software I use to process HDR just came out with an update. They should of called it 4.0 instead of 3.2 because it feels like more then just an update. I have posted this photo before but I turned it into a black and white because I wasn't happy with the color coming from it. NOW I am. I like what the update has done and can't wait to shoot some HDR and give it a go.

You all know that when I'm wearing dresses or skirts, I usually go with bare legs. But sometimes I do wear tights.. and as we have established in the previous post.. I love dots, so I was happy as a child when I found these dotted tights! :-D

 

I get a lot of compliments for my legs, even though in my opinion.. they're far from flawless! They've seen their fair share of scratches and bruises from martial arts and falling off of my bicycle (when I was young! :P ). And there are quite a few scars to prove it. :-P

Something sillier today. Can't believe I've done 50 of these things. Kinda crazy when I think about it. It's been both the best and the worst thing I've ever done. It's been fun, and it's been hell. I've had good days and bad. Some days I've loved the camera and other days I've loathed it. But I don't regret having started it :) Here's to another 315 more pics.

 

PS Thankyou to everybody who's supported and motivated me so far - every single one of you have helped more than you'll ever know. Thanks for keeping me sane!

 

I'll be redoing my homepage (handyandypandy.com) soon, so look out for an announcement once it's all up and running. Woooo!

I came across this old stickered Volvo at the Jacob Catskade in Amsterdam. You might wonder how this started. Did it start with a sticker on a rusty spot or scratch? I used to have such stickered room door. What will you do with a sticker gift and you want to paste it somewhere? This is not what we call car advertising. Car stickers is the cheapest and most obvious way to make advertising. I guess in this case it doesn't work. But if you love the decorate your car with stickers and it's a hobby of yours they can not refuse it or give you a fine. But even if you do not like it. It starts when you go to Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic or Hungary. Your entire windshield is so plastered with autobahn vignettes. Then there are the necessary safety vests in the car, alcohol testers, spare glasses and extra triangles etc. Next, the entire back of the caravan stickered with speed indications, warnings length and even more. Then in one country a fire extinguisher in the car, in the other country is a first aid kit required. Why do we have European Commission in Brussel? To each country to establish its own sense and nonsense niceties that the average traveler does not know what he needs and what is and is not required? In one country dim light on mandatory during daytime, in the other country emission sticker on the windshield, if there is any place left between all other autobahn vignettes. Let the politicians and officials in Brussels agreed to wake up and just meet European rules. This car is a good protest.

 

Why do all cars look alike? Well not this unusual vehicle at the Kattensloot in Amsterdam. An old stickered Volvo car, something crazy, strange and absolutely unique.

 

Ik kwam deze oude bestickerde Volvo tegen op de Jacob Catskade in Amsterdam. Je vraagt je af hoe dit begonnen is. Is het begonnen met één sticker op een roestplek of kras? Vroeger had ik ook een kamerdeur die zo bestickerd was. Je krijgt een keer een sticker cadeau en je wil hem ergens op plakken. In ieder geval valt dit niet onder de autoreclame. Autostickers is wel de goedkoopste en duidelijkste manier om reklame te maken. Maar op deze manier lukt dit niet. Maar…als je dit doet omdat je het mooi vind en het een hobby van je is om je auto met stickers op te sieren ze kunnen het niet verbieden en of je een boete opleggen. Maar zelfs als je het niet mooi vindt. Het begint al als je naar Oostenrijk, Zwitserland, Tsjechië of Hongarije gaat. Je hele voorruit zit zo volgeplakt met autobahnvignetten. Dan moeten er nog de nodige veiligheidshesjes in de auto, alcoholtesters, reservebrillen en extra gevarendriehoeken etc. Vervolgens moet de hele achterkant van de caravan bestickerd worden met snelheidsindicaties, lengte waarschuwingen en weet ik wat er allemaal nog meer op moet. Dan moet er in het ene land een brandblusser in de auto zijn, in het andere land is een EHBO-doos verplicht. Waar hebben we Brussel voor bedacht? Om ieder land zijn eigen zin- en onzinregeltjes te laten opstellen, zodat de modale reiziger niet meer weet wat hij wel of niet nodig heeft en wat wel en niet verplicht is? In het ene land verplicht dimlicht overdag, in het ander land milieusticker op de voorruit, als er nog plek is tussen alle reed aangebrachte autobahnvignetten. Laat die politici en ambtenaren in Brussel eens wakker worden en gewoon europese regels afspreken. Deze auto is mooi voorbeeld als protest.

The Seine river was very high this week-end, flooding part of the banks. Amazingly, this guy was there, sitting alone on his bench ! I had noticed him from far, sitting there, but without a zoom (or very high boots !), my only chance was to walk and shoot from the top . I actually waited for some boats to cross in order to get a "bigger" wave and in the meantime, he had lied down. He was obviously very relaxed about the situation and curiously, he had a compass in his hand ?! He was quite young and didn't really look like some homeless person, no idea what he was doing there...

El edificio fue construido, entre 1883 y 1885, por el arquitecto D. Cristóbal Cascante Colón, según proyecto del arquitecto D. Antonio Gaudí Cornet.

 

Está concebido como un palacete oriental, si bien con un planteamiento orgánico, es decir, el edificio se articula bajo la idea de que es algo vivo en la que cada una de sus partes debe orientarse hacia un lugar concreto, en función de su uso.

 

Además,este edifico se planteó estéticamente para ser mimetizado por la vegetación circundante, lo cual es apreciable por la elección de los verdes como colores predominantes entre la rica ornamentación del edificio. Cada fachada es diferente a las demás, contribuyendo a dar una heterogeneidad formal que sorprende y, en ocasiones, descoloca al observador. En resumen, la idiosincrasia particular de este monumento hace de él un auténtico capricho arquitectónico y ornamental.

www.monicamietitore.it/holi-p13773

 

Holi (Sanskrit: होली Holī) is a spring festival, also known as the festival of colours or the festival of love.

Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika bonfire where people gather, sing and dance. The next morning is a free-for-all carnival of colours,where participants play, chase and colour each other with dry powder and coloured water. Anyone and everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, man or woman, children and elders. The frolic and fight with colours occurs in the open streets, open parks, outside temples and buildings. People visit family, friends and foes to throw colours on each other, laugh and chit-chat, then share Holi delicacies, food and drinks. Holi is celebrated at the approach of the vernal equinox,on the Phalguna Purnima (Full Moon). The festival date varies every year, per the Hindu calendar, and typically comes in March, sometimes February in the Gregorian Calendar. The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter and is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest.[source wikipedia]

Wayne was laboring in the fading light, pushing his bike and his cart with scrap metal up a long hill. He was racing to reach the metal yard before it closed. At the top of the hill he stopped and gave me a big smile and hug, “Working, always working.”

 

He had told me before of his struggles, of his heart attack brought on by coke, of losing fingers to the cold, too high to notice the freezing metal searing to his hand. He still does drugs, he still is homeless, and he is still polite, happy, and gracious. He repeated what he always tells me,

 

“I am blessed. I am still here. Many others have gone. I am blessed. We are all blessed."

 

You can be a gentleman regardless of your situation.
