A witch is a person, often a woman, who practices witchcraft. A man that practices witchcraft is often called a warlock. The stereotypical witches are commonly portrayed as wicked old women who have wrinkled skin and pointy hats. They wear clothes that are black or purple. They also have warts on their noses and sometimes long claw-like fingernails. Witches have often been seen outside accepted cultures and faith. People often made them feel unwanted in their societies.
Een heks, ook wel kol of toverkol genoemd, is een persoon, meestal een vrouw, aan wie in vroeger tijden kennis en kunde werd toegedicht die een magisch karakter had, ook wel hekserij genoemd. Met hekserij wordt de praktijk van het oproepen en manipuleren van bovennatuurlijke krachten bedoeld. Deze veronderstelde magie zou hoofdzakelijk terug te voeren zijn op een zeer uitgebreide kennis van kruiden.

The last weekend of August 2008 took place the yearly World Statues Festival (Living Statues Festival) in the city centre of Arnhem (Netherlands) with more then 250 participants and over 300.000 visitors.
The 5th anniversary of World Statues is on the 29th and 30th of August 2009.
The term living statue refers to a mime artist who poses like a statue or mannequin, usually with realistic statue-like makeup, sometimes for hours at a time.
This is an art that requires a great deal of patience and physical stamina.

The light of the day is gone, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean are singing the endless song of waves crashing along the beach. But the darkness reveals this is no ordinary night along the shore. Billions of bioluminescent organisms have been thriving in the waters along the Southern California coast, and at times some waves light up with blue magic as the phytoplankton light up with the water’s disturbance. This was my second foray into trying to capture this long elusive (for me) phenomenon. It was very challenging to figure out where the waves would light up, and to try to frame them. I found 85mm was the best as the waves were only lighting up a bit off shore. An f2.8 70-200 might have been better. Stopping the water movement was pretty impossible as it was so dark. Here I stopped down to f2.5 to try to have at least a little depth of field. It’s hard to describe how neat this is, and if you ever have the opportunity see this when it happens you should try.

Is there anything more magical than an open fireplace while the snow falls outside on a winter’s eve.
Probably the first camera I ever owned; or so I remember. Now I pass it on to my little sister who literally grabbed it when I took it out of my bag. Pays to be yellow. :P
*Camera shake. Ugh. That's what I get when idea whacks me in the head after the sun sets.
Thank you so much for the Pro account, curious_jane! Advanced Happy Birthday?! My birthday isn't till December! x)

Album : Cruise ships Dublin 2016.
The cruise ship 'Disney Magic' sails from Dublin for Liverpool on a very gloomy summer evening.
The ship is one of 4 in the fleet and is a sister to the 'Disney Wonder'. The ship was built by Fincantieri in the Breda ship yard in Venice in 1998.
it was interesting in that the front section was built in Ancona and towed to Venice and joined to the aft section. This of course may explain why 'Goofy' is still messing about the at the back!
Patty Disney is the ships godmother. The ship underwent a major refit in 2013.
Its normal compliment is 1754 passengers although she is licensed to carry 2800. At 294 metres in length she is one of the bigger ships to visit Dublin.
THEY WERE CAPTURED IN MY GARDEN AS THEY WERE.

My blonde high color Color Magic gal in her original swimsuit just got a twin sister … so now there are three! (She’s wearing the checked dress from the Color Magic fashion designer set! My low color midnight gal in her ‘Stripes Away’ looks on … ) They are both minty and have never had their hair color changed. Should I try to color-change one? Which one?

Avec ce minuscule fouet de cuisine qualifié de magique qu'on nous a offert pour Noël, on ne pourra que réussir notre mayonnaise ou la vinaigrette d'assaisonnement pour la salade.
ここがどこなのか分かりません。
箱根から富士を眺めた後、わたしを近くの駅に送るために車を走らせていました。
途中あまりにも美しい湾と街並が見えたので、「お願い、止まって！」と女性陣が一斉に声をあげて、しばし撮影タイムとなりました。
よく見ると湾に添って灯りが付いています。
I do not know where here is.
After having looked at Fuji from Hakone,my frend ran a car to send me to the station nearby. Because it showed too beautiful gulf and cityscape on the way , women gave voice all at once when "a request stopped ", and it was for a while with photography time .
It goes along the gulf when I look well , and there is a light .

Took this photo of my youngest grandson some years ago, and stumbled across it today. Makes me feel happy and laugh, and I hope it does you too. Not a bad photo for an ancient Minolta digital point and shoot. Location: Riehen BS CH.
