I mentioned to Janis that I wanted to buy some to photograph. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at this bakery and she bought ten. Two, ten...no big deal. They're micro-croissants.
I took the photo I wanted after we got back to our room. An hour later Janis asked where the pastries went.
"I ate them. Why?"

Karst is the place where the so called karst-topography is more common, and of course is also the place where it was studied and described for the first time. Karst forms are generated by the dissolution of limestone or other carbonate rocks. Small scale forms like those you can see in the above photo are called in Italian "micro-solchi" (micro-runnels) and when well developed they make the rock surface look like a small scale model of a mountain ridge.
This photo was taken in a dolina close to Zgonik (Ita: Sgonico) in the so called "Carso Triestino" (Karst of Triest).
Sometimes, a navy wants a rugged, old-fashioned capital ship which dish out punishment and take even more. The newer navies and militaries consider this view quite out of date, and the FG-10 is a successful product of this modern warfare.
SyncTech, a Sweedish-Korean company, produced the vessel for their respective navies, but it has been produced under licence for several other states, and the idea copied by even more.
A true stand-off weapon, the ship is minimally armed for conventional ship-to-ship (STS) and anti-fighter warfare. It's main potency comes from the four cruise missile launchers, able to fire in serial or in sequence, at other ships, at space platforms or planets. Although slow enough to be destroyed by specialised point defence cannons, the FG-10 is able to destroy much without having to get into cannon range at all.
At close-range, the Frigate is no match for a ship as small as the BB-22, but with proper escort and intelligent use, it can be used as an anti-capital ship threat, as well as to destroy space platforms and assault entire planets.
Length: 220m
Crew: 74.
Armament: 4 x fast tracking ion turrets, 2 x Quad STS flak cannon.
2 x dual Sorsvig-class Cruise Missile batteries. Limited ammunition.
Computer: Siemens Y2-modular.

*They may look like monsters from a horror film, but these tiny creatures
inhabit our homes, clothes and even our bodies. A new book, 'Micro
Monsters', showcases some of the planet's most horrible insects and
microscopic beasts. British author and trained zoologist, Tom Jackson, spent
three months compiling the images in the book. Scientists coated the tiny
creatures in gold, froze them in liquid nitrogen and fired a beam of
electrons at the subjects from a scanning electron microscope to reveal the
incredible detail*

*"I wanted to get together all the most gruesome and beastly pictures I
could," said 38 year-old Tom from Bristol. "This book shows children
everything that's around them at home, the garden and the playground."*

*"The pictures I'm most pleased with are the close-up portraits of insects
that show the intricate details of their eyes, mandibles and even the hairs
on their heads," said Tom*

*In scanning electron microscopy, a beam of electrons is fired at the
subjects. Electrons have shorter wavelengths than lights waves so smaller
objects can be captured.*

CHIYAAN
This is the former gun emplacement at Fort Revere the previous two photographs (Alice and Emily) were shot. Yes, I jumped down into the rubbish. That's what I do for my art.
Had some F stuff on the table - so it was easy to play with the various lenses. This is with the Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5 - a deservedly legendary lens in the Nikon arsenal. Still one of the best macro lenses around.
Year: 2006
A small truck with trailer.
Inspired by the Tiny Turbos theme.
