The Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis), sometimes referred to as Western Yellow-legged Gull (to distinguish it from eastern populations of yellow-legged large white-headed gulls), is a large gull of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, which has only recently achieved wide recognition as a distinct species. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of either the Caspian Gull L. cachinnans, or more broadly as a subspecies of the Herring Gull L. argentatus. It is named after the German zoologist Karl Michahelles.
It is now generally accepted that the Yellow-legged Gull is a full species. The breeding range is centred around the Mediterranean Sea. In North Africa it is common in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and increasing in places. Recent breeding has occurred in Libya and Egypt. In the Middle East a few breed in Israel and Syria with larger numbers in Cyprus and Turkey. In Europe there are colonies all along the Mediterranean coast, and also on the Atlantic islands and coasts north to Brittany and west to the Azores. It also breeds on the west side of the Black Sea; here it overlaps with the Caspian Gull but there is a difference in habitat, with the Yellow-legged Gull preferring sea cliffs and Caspian Gull on flatter shores. In recent decades birds have spread north into central and western Europe. One to four pairs have attempted to breed in southern England since 1995 (sometimes hybrid pairs with Lesser Black-backed Gulls), though colonisation has been very slow.
Many birds remain in the same area all year round but others migrate to spend the winter in mild areas of western Europe or head south as far as Senegal, the Gambia and the Red Sea. (wikipedia)
The species is quite common along the Portuguese coast. There was a big evening roost of YLGs on the local beach near where we were staying this summer. A handful of Audouin's Gulls were also in amongst them.

Follow Your Dreams
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Follow your dreams that go by
Filling each moment on
Feelings of love low and high
Until each thought is gone
Closeness to them is everything
Of every hour everyday
They are the reason I still sing
Into departures that can't stay
Yesterdays are to remember
With every its old song to borrow
Like the leaves of reddish amber
Or dawn rising once more tomorrow
But our dreams never come true
They are only in the heart to glow
Mind-sets and thoughts to renew
Before they for evermore shall go
Follow your dreams for they leave
Everything is at all times falling
Hours will come of lost and grieve
And again to those times calling
--------------

Canon 5D Mark II Photos of Beautiful Brunette Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess! Pretty Blue Eyes! Canon 5D Mark II Photos of Beautiful Brunette Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess! Pretty Green Eyes! The Wind was running her fingers through her long, wavy hair! She's a fitness model and professional dancer! Shot with the 24-105mm IS USM L lens! Remastered RAWs in Lightroom 5 !
I was shooting video of the pretty goddess at the exact same time with my 45surfer/9shooter bracket setup--you can enjoy the video here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wb9hO6tG9g
Be sure to watch the goddess in full 1080p HD! She was tall, thin, tan, and fit!
Video is fun & it rocks to capture the goddess's beauty and poetry in motion!
Shooting simultaneous stills & video rocks! I do it on every shoot now, while also mounting several stationary DSLRs/camcorders for video in addition to the Panasonic or Sony Camcoder bracketed to my Canon 5D or Nikon D800E.
The sea goddess was tall, thin, fit, with long, gorgerous brown hair and pretty green eyes!
Sporting a 45SURF denim bikini. :)
And may the red-headed sea goddess inspire you along a photographic/artistic journey of your own making!
The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens is an amazing lens for practically every situation!
Long, pretty legs!
All the best on your Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
The 45surf Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour. And like Helen of Troy, a Gold 45 Goddess is worth fighting a ten year war for.
Enjoy the video shot at the same time as the stills:

The East Coast Park (Chinese: 东海岸公园; Malay: Taman Pantai Timur) is a beach park located on the southeastern coast of Singapore. It was opened in the 1970s, when the government completed reclaiming land off the coast at Katong which extends from Changi to Tanjong Rhu. It also serves various key neighborhood communities such as Tanjong Rhu, Marine Parade, Bedok and Tampines.
The park is a popular place for families and friends to relax and enjoy themselves. The park has barbecue pits, entertainment facilities, chalets, food and beverage, and amenities for sports activities. A cycling and inline skating track runs along the perimeter of the park, which measures over 15 km long.

You'd think that omnipresent media would lead to a global homogenization of culture, but thankfully, it has not. Customs still differ from one place to another. And I'm glad they do. The world would be significantly less interesting if life was led the same way all over the world.
One custom I noticed in Shanghai, is the tendency of women to walk arm-in-arm. Its something I've rarely if ever seen in the States.
This trio was crossing the street near West Nanjing Road, arms interlocked, walking into the future.
The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.

have YOU discovered [Utopia]?
-quotes from Traveller's Xchange at "The Beach" Website and comments from previous series
"I really believe Utopia is any place which you choose to see with your heart, and not with any stereotype image of what an ideal world is." -Ana Easson
"My Utopia is that one frame in time, when everything around you seems to slow down, and all that stands between you and the sky is the one you love most." -Trevor
"I believe that utopia, which i have not yet found, is spending time in the most amazing and stunning place imaginable with the person you love and admire the most in the world." -Adrian
"My utopia is just underneath sealevel, at an atol by the Togian islands in Indonesia. The beauty you experience there is overwelming and gives you respect and admiration for all living." -Stefk
"My utopia was in Sri Lanka. We went to this reef, four miles off the coast of Batticloa. We had to go through twenty three military checkpoints to get there. The waters were so clear, you could see to the bottom (about seventy feet) before you even jumped out of the boat. I was floating there, upside down forty feet below with a snorkel, fins and my jeans, deep blue in every direction, face to face with this huge garoupa. The boat was like a tiny little toy miles above. That was utopia for me. I didn't want to ever go back up." -Francis Lo
"paradise is by God in heaven.. the rest is what we make of it!" - d3usa
"I believe that Paradise is a gift from God and a ‘state of mind’ that is nourished through our senses. The sight of the first flowers of spring, the smell of a baby, the taste of our favorite food, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover’s hand. All of these transport us, even for a fleeting moment, to Paradise on earth. If you are having those sensations 24/7 (earth time) then you have crossed over and are now sitting with our Creator!" - deestea
"I think paradise is in our heart- mind, hirday, before being on a beach…" - elishams
"mmm utopia... i think it's the perfect place, the perfect moment and the perfect mood." - unlimited___/

Saint-Malo (in bretone Sant-Maloù, in gallo Saent-Malô, in italiano antico San Malò) è un comune francese e una sottoprefettura (arrondissement di Saint-Malo), capoluogo di due cantoni (nord e sud) del dipartimento francese Ille-et-Vilaine, nella regione della Bretagna. È una città balneare famosa, ricca di eventi soprattutto estivi, e attira turisti in maniera crescente (maggiormente inglesi, tedeschi, olandesi).
È una città costiera, fortificata con una cintura di bastioni. Il suo porto sbocca sul Canale della Manica e il suo litorale è tra quelli francesi il maggiormente esposto al fenomeno delle maree (l'ampiezza supera i 10 metri). Gli abitanti di Saint-Malo si chiamano "maluini", in francese: malouins. La lingua bretone, che fa parte delle lingue celtiche, non è mai stata parlata. Invece, la lingua che si usava era il gallo, ovvero un dialetto neolatino della parte est della Bretagna. Sia il gallo, sia il bretone si possono studiare oggi nelle università bretoni.
Saint-Malo deve il suo nome a un monaco gallese, Mac Low, sbarcato nella penisola di Aleth (o Alet) nel VI secolo per evangelizzare il paese, e diventato vescovo di Aleth. La città di Aleth, all'epoca gallo-romana, era la sede della Legione di Marte e fu distrutta nel V secolo dagli Alani e dai Sassoni. È vicino a questa penisola di Aleth che è stata fondata nel XII secolo la città di Saint-Malo su un isolotto roccioso.
Aperta al commercio marittimo fin dal Medio Evo, Saint-Malo si è poco a poco fatta notare come la più famosa città corsara. I corsari lavoravano al conto del re (alla differenza dei pirati, che lavoravano per conto loro). Erano in possesso di un documento ufficiale che legalizzava la loro attività per combattere contro i nemici, e dovevano rispettare scrupolosamente le regole di guerra, altrimenti erano considerati come pirati. In quel periodo, il più grande nemico di Saint-Malo fu l'Inghilterra. Si può notare ancora oggi l'esempio del grande corsaro Surcouf, la cui statua eretta a Saint-Malo, indica con il dito la direzione dell'Inghilterra, terra nemica da combattere.
Nel 1534, il re francese Francesco I incarica il malouin Jacques Cartier di navigare fino alla Cina, per trovarci delle ricchezze. Però, il navigatore, sulla sua strada scopre il Canada, e ne prende il possesso in nome del re di Francia. Nel XVI secolo, Saint-Malo si apre maggiormente al commercio marittimo con la Spagna e l'Inghilterra; numerosi pescatori partono alla volta delle coste di Terranova (vicine al Canada) per pescare il merluzzo, facendo di Saint-Malo una grande città di pescatori.
Saint-Malo diventa molto ricca nel XVII secolo, un periodo in cui i corsari controllano il traffico marittimo del Mare del Sud, e quello delle Indie Orientali. Saint-Malo diventa uno dei principali importatori del denaro sud-americano in Francia.
Il nome argentino dell'arcipelago delle isole Falklands (Islas Malvinas) deriva dal fatto che i primi coloni provenivano da Saint-Malo. Nel corso del XIX secolo, Saint-Malo non riesce ad arricchirsi, nonostante la sistemazione di darsene e di ferrovie. Sarà ormai in altri settori che Saint-malo si farà notare: grandi scrittori come Chateaubriand e Lamennais, originari di Saint-Malo, elogiano la loro città nella letteratura.
Purtroppo, Saint-Malo viene distrutta quasi interamente dai bombardamenti americani durante la Seconda guerra mondiale (agosto 1944). Alla Liberazione, la città viene ricostruita, rispettando l'architettura del passato. Il porto diviene più moderno.
Nel 1967, Saint-Malo (l'attuale centro della città, chiamato Intra-Muros) annette le città vicine Saint-Servan e Paramé. Negli anni a seguire altre piccole città sono annesse, che sono divenuti i quartieri periferici di Saint-Malo.

As those of you who follow my stream will know I've been a little bit ill of late, but today I forced myself to go for a wander out in the woods and inspired by Tonys Brenizer method shot I thought I would have a go myself.
This was 124 individual shots, trimmed down to about 80 with cropping, stitched together. The end result was a 100Mb 28578 x 18590 image. My PC is an overclocked Intel i7 with 8Gb of RAM and it was just about ready to melt after stitching this!
ODC - Just three colours(there might be four, but three is close enough!).

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic odyssey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
ALL THE BEST on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
Been busy traveling and shooting landscapes and working on my books The Golden Hero's Odyssey about the golden rectangle and divine proportion I use in a lot of my compositions! Also working on my physics book on Dynamic Dimensions Theory! The equation d4/dt=ic is on a lot of the 45surf swimsuit and shirts and all! :)
