The Dornier Do 31 is an experimental vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jet-propelled transport designed and produced by West German aircraft manufacturer Dornier.
The development of the Do 31 was motivated principally by heavy interest expressed by the German Air Force in the acquisition of short take-off and vertical landing aircraft (STOVL)-capable aircraft. Such ambitions received a further boost from the issuing of NATO specification NBMR-4, which called for a VTOL-capable tactical support aircraft that would be operated in conjunction with the EWR VJ 101, a West German VTOL strike aircraft designed under the NATO contract of BMR-3. A total of three aircraft, two flight-capable and one static airframe, were constructed and used for testing. On 10 February 1967, the Do 31 performed its maiden flight; the first hovering flight of the type took place during July 1967.
In addition to performing test flights, Dornier often demonstrated the Do 31 prototypes to officials and the general public, such as at the 1969 Paris Air Show. Several world records were set by the type during its limited flying career. When the high cost, technical and logistical difficulties of operating such an aircraft were realized, the German Air Force opted to cease trials involving VTOL aircraft, such as the Do 31, VJ101, and the later VFW VAK 191B. In the face of limited sales prospects and a lack of state support, the Do 31 and other VTOL projects lingered as research projects for a time prior to their manufacturers abandoning all activity. The Do 31 remains the only VTOL-capable jet-powered transport aircraft to ever fly.

The Indian Peafowl occurs from eastern Pakistan through India, south from the Himalayas to Sri Lanka. Though once common in Bangladesh, it may now be extinct in that country. Its highly ornamental appearance motivated early seafarers to transplant the peafowl to their homelands in other parts of the western world. Phoenician traders in the time of King Solomon (1000 B.C.) introduced the birds to present-day Syria and the Egyptian Pharaohs. Alexander the Great imported more of the birds into his Mediterranean domains and severely penalized anyone caught harming them. Domesticated peafowl remained a popular status symbol through Roman times and the Middle Ages, ensuring their establishment and survival throughout Europe.
In its native India, the peafowl is a creature of the open forests and riparian undergrowth. In southern India, it also prefers stream-side forests but may also be found in orchards and other cultivated areas.

The weekend before the last I was really mad at myself for being too lazy to get out in the cold in the morning, and by the time I was motivated, I didn’t have much time. Nevertheless, I thought I could take a short walk with my camera at lunchtime, so I was going to drive to a specific place in my hometown from which I knew that it had potential for some nice images. However, there was quite a layer of snow on the road and so I couldn’t drive up the hill, mostly because I had to slow down to get around the only tight turn. I really regret not getting out sooner because then I could have walked up there, but that’s the way it was. So I spent the following week hoping for some snow the next weekend.
Fortunately, it snowed the next Friday and this time I was sure to get out, no matter what the weather conditions are. The next morning, we woke up, put on several layers to protect ourselves from the cold and started our hike up the local mountain. Since not a single person had hiked up there that morning, we had to fight our way through a calf-high layer of snow resulting in a hike that took us more than two hours instead of the 45 minutes it takes us to get up there in summer. Of course we stopped a few time to take some images, but mostly with our smartphones as the snow was beautiful, but I found the scenes were lacking some mist that reduces the chaos and typically drastically simplifies such forest scenery.
Once we reached the top, we were very happy that the hut was open and we could warm up and get something to drink and eat. After a fairly substantial lunch, we decided to start our descent, but before I really wanted to walk up the last few steps to the summit cross, especially since a bit of mist was rolling in. I knew that I had once taken a quite nice image at this spot, but I noticed that my girlfriend wasn’t really in the mood to wait long for me since it was really cold and windy out there. So I hurried up, took out my camera and snapped a few handheld shots, and I was really glad I did when I looked at them on the laptop. Even though it was not exactly what I had imagined, I really like how this image turned out. I hope you like it too!

Today was one of those lazy days when it comes to photography, I kept putting off picking up the camera and finally as the light was starting to sink I figured I'd better get moving.
What better for a day of procrastinating than a photo of a motivator... that and I was a little stumped on inspiration and coffee is always a good model!
Anyway hope everyone has had a good day, and a Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

As I continue on with my photography journey, I continue to evolve more and more with each image. I evolve as a person, I evolve as an observer of light, I evolve as an artist. My pursuit to be the best I can be never stops. It keeps me motivated. Just knowing there is so much potential within ourselves is astonishing. The journey has been long, but meaningful in every way. The camera has opened my eyes in so many different ways it’s unimaginable. Some of the locations I’ve photographed don’t even seem real. Landscapes that you would read in a fairytale or see in a motion picture. It’s hard to believe these landscapes even exist.
With my latest series of images
I feel tells a small story about the bald cypress tree. Each tree has its own character, and it’s own story. The bald cypress tree is a long lived tree that is native to the Mississippi Valley, Southeastern regions of the United States and extends northward to the mid Atlantic states. Out of all of the collections that I’ve put together over years, this one is one of my favorites. For me, there’s something about these unique trees that speak to me. The cypress tree has a very unique look, and when you combine this special tree with the swamp landscape and all of the swamp’s eerie/mysterious look, it’s makes for fascinating imaging. It is strikingly beautiful, and a place where you have complete solitude. The feeling of being alone, in this quiet and daunting environment is something that one would have to experience for themselves to really understand where I’m coming from. It’s a feeling like no other. This is why I love what I do. It’s going into the unknown, being uncomfortable and adjusting to the surroundings that you’re not use to. It’s a mental test. You vs. the landscape. Are you prepared to wade through muddy murky waters with alligators and snakes around? It’s all real...it’s nature. It’s uncomfortable, it’s different, it’s challenging, it’s all the elements that you’re not use to while photographing. But that’s part of the journey.....the evolution of self.
Before I end this, please take your time to view the images. There’s so many little subtle details that one will over look if you just breeze through them. Get a cup of coffee or cup of tea, open up the light box and view the images on full screen and just chill, and enjoy your visual experience. Also, I want to thank everyone that has supported my work over the years. I greatly appreciate it. You guys are awesome. Peace and love to everyone one out there, shoot for yourself, continue to evolve, and see you guys in 2018. Happy Holidays.

Of course she was motivating me to stay home and give her cheese instead of going for a bike ride… but still motivating me.

Italy, Venice, … even so the gondolier sings loudly & full-breasted~ "♪ ’O Sole Mio ♫"~, an Italian classic written in 1898,
…but the sun ignores him this morning at the Ponte Rialto…
Modern gondolas are up to 11 mtr long, 1.6 mtr wide & a weight of about 350 kg, made of 280 hand-made pieces using eight types of wood. It takes about 200 hours to manufacture a gondola; at a cost of roughly 30,000 €.
The oar-paddle, which is several meters long, lies in a fork, forcola, which is inserted into a rectangular opening in the hull on the starboard side. To compensate for unilateral propulsion, the gondola body is built asymmetrically along the central axis; the left side is curved more than the right starboard side, so that its contour on the starboard side is about 0.25 m shorter than on the port side.
The oar-paddle is held in an o complicated shaped fork, known as a Fórcola, allowing several positions of the oar for slow forward rowing, powerful forward rowing, turning, slowing down, rowing backwards stopping, shaped individually for each gondoliers style. The ornament iron, called the "fero da prorà" or "dolfin", on the front of the boat is made from brass, stainless steel, or aluminium. It serves as decoration; every detail of the gondola has its own symbolism & needed to balance the weight of the gondolier at the stern, has an "S" shape symbolic of the twists in the Canal Grande. Under the main blade, there is a kind of comb with six teeth or prongs pointing forward standing for the six districts of Venice. A kind of tooth juts out backwards toward the centre of the gondola symbolises the island of Giudecca, the curved top signifies the Doge's cap.
Originally, the designs were not uniform & changed over the centuries. Originally, there were gondolas in all possible colours. The Venetian noble & patrician houses at the time tried to outdo each other in the magnificent equipment of the boats.
In order to put an end to this unbridled pomposity, the Senate of Venice in 1562 passed the expense law. Supported by the church, this law prescribed uniform black equipment for all gondolas; there were exceptions for foreign envoys & for festivals.

France, Alsace, Colmar, "Chez Hansi", an old-fashioned Alsatian restaurant in the Rue de Merchants. The restaurant is named after Jean-Jacques Waltz, 1873-1951, nickname, known as "Oncle Hansi" or simply "Hansi". He was an artist of Alsatian origin, a loyal pro-French activist, famous for his quaint drawings & a French hero of both World Wars.
Rue de Marchands, the street is quite short, very touristy, beautiful, charming, all its half-timbered houses & with its centuries of history & secrets, its multiple colours, its scents of gingerbread, its shops with products & souvenirs of the region & the Maison Pfister on the corner towards the cathedral.
As the name, Rue de Marchands / the street of the merchants, suggests, this street is lined with many shops, local gastronomy, souvenirs, restaurants, tea rooms & also the Bartholdi museum.

China, Harbin, City Impressions, …street tennis, one player, left side, challenging the two players on the right.
Heilongjiang Province, the most northeast part of China, when viewed on a map has the shape of a swan. Its capital city is Harbin, which is located south of Heilongjiang.
Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911, Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history.
At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, down to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry air, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture. So, Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
As well the large Siberian Tiger & white tigers research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does an important work to prevent this species from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tigers.
