Tropical fruit always makes me feel the heat. Maybe it's all wishful thinking, but whatever works right? This is Dragonfruit - super tasty and very healthy.

Completed my Adafruit MiniPOV3 tonight. I was able to upload sample code to it, but I'm having an issue with avr-gcc so I can't compile my own yet.
Oristano might not be Sardinia’s most famous city, or indeed its biggest. However, these facts only serve to make it even more impressive quite how much this beautiful little city and its surrounding area have to offer. Within a relatively small space you can find everything from buzzing urban centres to tranquil beaches, innovative gastronomy to ancient ruins. A more varied place would be very hard to find indeed.
Oristano is rich in history and culture and this is reflected both in the city sights and in its atmosphere. Within the historic centre there are several beautiful churches representing different eras of history and different architectural styles. Besides churches, there are plenty of other examples of wonderful architecture and design such as the towers of the old city walls or the grand baroque buildings of piazza Eleonora. The narrow, winding streets are filled with shops selling jewellery, clothing, gifts and food and there is a refreshing lack of large chain stores here, giving way to a more artisan, more personal way of doing things. In the cafés and piazzas locals and visitors alike sit and chat animatedly at all hours of the day, creating a friendly, welcoming ambience that can be felt all around the city.

The times that we live in seem very much geared towards the young, and that, in an ageing population.
I was on a photo assignment for Age Concern, for a book, when I spotted this lady resting patiently at the counter of a store in a shopping mall.
Now normally ladies go there for advice or a ‘make-over’, not this one, she was just a bit tired and saw the inviting chair…
Have a relaxed day and thank you as always for your comments, Magda, (*_*)

Music is a huge part of our lives. Anna uses it to cope with stressful situations. Curtis and I use it to relax and to party. Dominic likes to listen to video game soundtracks. Jenny and my mom are music connoisseurs. We have music playing in our house all the time and when we don't, usually one of us is listening through our headphones. I like Apple's earphones, but no one else does, so I've inherited all of them. I have them stashed everywhere! I'm so impressed that such amazing sound can come through those tiny mesh screens and completely change my mood. This particular pair is resting on our Bose Color II Soundlink which also has amazing sound in a small package.

The great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), known as the great black cormorant across the Northern Hemisphere, the black cormorant in Australia, the large cormorant in India and the black shag further south in New Zealand, is a widespread member of the cormorant family of seabirds.
The great cormorant is a large black bird, but there is a wide variation in size in the species wide range. Weight is reported to vary from 1.5 kg (3.3 lb)[6] to 5.3 kg (12 lb). Males are typically larger and heavier than females, with the nominate race (P. c. carbo) averaging about 10% larger in linear measurements than the smallest race in Europe (P. c. sinensis). The lightest average weights cited are in Germany (P. c. sinensis), where 36 males averaged 2.28 kg (5.0 lb) and 17 females averaged 1.94 kg (4.3 lb). The highest come from Prince Edward Island in Canada (P. c. carbo), where 11 males averaged 3.68 kg (8.1 lb) and 11 females averaged 2.94 kg (6.5 lb). Length can vary from 70 to 102 cm (28 to 40 in) and wingspan from 121 to 160 cm (48 to 63 in). They are tied as the second largest extant species of cormorant after the flightless cormorant, with the Japanese cormorant averaging at a similar size. In bulk if not in linear dimensions, the Blue-eyed shag species complex of the Southern Oceans are scarcely smaller at average. It has a longish tail and yellow throat-patch. Adults have white patches on the thighs and on the throat in the breeding season. In European waters it can be distinguished from the common shag by its larger size, heavier build, thicker bill, lack of a crest and plumage without any green tinge. In eastern North America, it is similarly larger and bulkier than double-crested cormorant, and the latter species has more yellow on the throat and bill and lack the white thigh patches frequently seen on great cormorants. Great cormorants are mostly silent, but they make various guttural noises at their breeding colonies.

Variations
A very rare variation of the great cormorant is caused by albinism. The Phalacrocorax carbo albino suffers from loss of eyesight and/or hearing, thus it rarely manages to survive in the wild.

Friday, after my 4am wakeup, a morning on the beach (see yesterday’s post) and a four hour drive back home I made another trip. I jumped into my Jeep and made the hour drive south to seek out my Peregrine Falcon family. Rain was in the forecast, again, and I wanted to check for fledglings before it started. Sure enough, after checking every ledge I spotted this female from a distance. My first this season. The adults were on high alert so I went deep into the woods to circle back before finding a gap through which to view the young Peregrine. I managed only a couple of quick shots before she flew and then the rain started. My excitement at finding this new, beautiful raptor, was tempered when I noticed a blanket of whitewash at the base of a tall tree several yards into the woods. Great Horned Owls are known predators of Peregrine fledglings and they have been seen in these woods. I didn’t see an Owl that day, but so far we have only seen one fledgling in a brood of three. Last year’s fledglings mysteriously disappeared after less than two weeks of freedom. I really hope at least one from this family will buck the odds and make it through the season. I will keep watching so stay tuned. June 23, 2017
For more images of this family from 2016 and 2017 please view my Peregrine Falcon gallery: www.terifranzenphotography.com/gallery/birds/raptors/pere...

68026 Enterprise waits for the road before departing Huddersfield with the late running 1634 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street. The stood still time seemed to be less than a minute making getting a night shot an act of choreographed accuracy.
The station roof is a real feature at Huddersfield very similar to Bournemouth before the rebuild.
Nice lighting added to the atmosphere.

I sincerely hope that 2017 will treat the world a little better than 2016. 2016 was a rough one.
Happy New Year to all my flickr friends!
Downsview Park Station is one of the six new stations that make up the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension of the Toronto Transit Commission. It is scheduled to open for service towards the end of 2017.
Buddhi Lal, 30 works before dawn collecting refuse to recycle and resell. Known as 'rag-picking' he can make perhaps Rs150-200 a day. New Delhi, India.
Until a few years ago, urban poverty, whilst being starkly visible to the policy makers in India, received far less attention from the Indian government than rural poverty, both in terms of range of intervention and the scale of financial outlay. Despite evidence of burgeoning urban population, fuelled by distress migration that followed the new economic policies during early Nineties, it remained an area of significant and persistent neglect from public policy.
In March of the year 2000, a group of young people and committed social workers, with support from ActionAid India, came together under the banner of ‘Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan (AAA)’ . The initiative is set to stop exploitation and marginalization of the homeless people in Delhi, with the aim to empower, mobilise and strengthen the capacity of the homeless so that they can assert their rights and live with honour and dignity.
Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan runs 12 regular shelters in buildings provided by the Delhi government. 7 of these shelters are run on ‘pay to use’ basis while 5 are being run without any user fee.
Other work done by AAA during 2010:
A free legal aid mechanism at Delhi Beggars Court was set up to provide legal aid to the inmates arrested under Bombay Prevention of Begging Act.
Education for homeless children:
Twelve homeless children completed their 6 years of formal education from MCD Schools (state supported school). This group of children is based at Fatehpuri shelter where they are supported with 24 hour shelter, food, tuition, counselling and recreation etc. The direct cost of education (e.g text books etc.) was covered by the State but the other expenses of education like school uniforms, clothing, food, and, healthcare etc. are being covered by donors recruited by AAA.
The Health Intervention Group for Homeless (HIGH)
This clinic has been providing health care to the homeless on every Monday and Thursday evening in Jama Masjid area. Through this clinic, more than 3000 homeless patients got free treatment, and 12 severely mentally ill homeless patients were referred to the exclusive Jama Masjijd clinic. Homeless people are also trained as health support workers to provide their services as care workers to patients at various hospitals.
The Chemical Dependents meeting.
This drug users meeting is organised at Urdu Park and Jama Masjid on every Wednesday evening, and at Fountain Chowk shelter on every Friday evening. From these sessions the patients get referred to the Health Intervention Group for Homeless clinic (HIGH). Continued attendance to these meetings is mandatory for those patients referred and treated at the HIGH clinic.

About this album: I adore surfing old photos. Each of them tells a good story, a great experience. That's why I like photography. It records the outstanding memories and makes them unforgettable. I can recommend photography, this thankful passion to everybody.
Another five photos from my last drive, on 28 April. Harsh light and windy.
On 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.
I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.
So, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more shots with the SX60. I can't say that the photos from either camera came out as sharp as I would have liked - very bright out, and windy. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say. I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited.
