An ocular thing for Sliders Sunday.
These are some ornamental quince fruits that were pruned earlier in the year and then forgotten about. Unnoticed, they've shriveled-up into things reminiscent of giant raisins. This one looked like it had an eye where the stalk used to be so I thought I'd expand on that concept...
HSS !
He's like a little troll who lives below a bridge and doesn't want anyone to cross it. He lives inside the hole of this cable table. The hole is just beneath him. When he hears anyone trying to get a drink he pops up and usually scares the so called offender off. He forgets that it is a public facility.
Occupying the best part of a city block, Masaya Hostel outclasses almost all the city's top hotels with its spacious wood-floored rooms, beautiful public spaces and enclosed courtyard garden strung with hammocks and centered around a ceiba tree with a wraparound stage. That it offers such exemplary accommodations and some of the Old Town's cheapest beds can scarce be believed.
Rooms are cleverly designed: layered, varnished pallets, for example, make up some beds and shelving. Even the dorms have a feeling of seclusion, with privacy blinds and charging points, reading lamps and security lockers for each bed. Then there's the bar, the games (ping-pong, pool) and the attached Masaya Bistro for delicious Ecuadorian-international food throughout the day – and this is before you broach the topic of the nightly (and free) activities from dance classes to yoga to Spanish classes to live music.
Brisbane botanical gardens sunday morning. I like this one. It’s shot at nearly 200mm on the M50 by the lake at the botanical gardens. It’s just nice
Looking across Derwent Water from it's southern shore in the Lake District National Park, England to the southern flanks of Skiddaw (3054ft - 931mtrs)
The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th-century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year. (wiki)

this guy was nuts-ing out to the music. i have my doubts as to the sincerity of many of the people camping out at the "protest" Occupy LA movement. many seemed to be the same people; bums, transients, homeless, mentally ill, that live on the streets. here they had free food and free sleeping bags.
Dachshunds, Oliver & Rudy have been acting very strange lately, meeting secretly in the far corner of the backyard - now the reason is clear– They have joined the Occupy Movement & they want the turkey.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND !

Adopting a genuine universal suffrage in the 2017 Chief Executive, without its candidates being pre-screened, is one core issue of the current revolt.

Today I went to a Hyperloop presentation and levitation demo at Stanford University. It was super cool. The event was organized by the Science Fiction Society of Silicon Valley, that promotes science fiction that becomes reality.
In 2012 Elon Musk of SpaceX proposed a train system called "Hyperloop" for superfast travel between cities and made his design open to the public. Elon held a competition for Hyperloop builders this January. One of the contestants was rLoop, a crowdsourced company. The founder of rLoop gave a TEDx style talk.
After the talk a colleague with an OCCUPY MARS t-shirt did a demo on a small scale model. The pod (the car that moves in the Hyperloop tube) was levitating by magnets above an aluminum surface. Here he shows the bottom side of the pod. You can see the four rotating magnets.
I processed a soft HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.

The site was the largest pre-Columbian settlement in Argentina, occupying about 30 hectares. The area dates back to ca 850 AD and was inhabited by the Quilmes people. It is believed that about 5,000 people lived here during its heights.
The site is flanked by two foothills which were fortified.
The Quilmes people fiercely resisted the Inca invasions of the 15th century, and continued to resist the Spaniards for 130 years, until being defeated in 1667.
Spanish invaders relocated the last 2,000 survivors to a reservation (reducción) 20 km south of Buenos Aires. This 1,500 km journey was made by foot, causing hundreds of Quilmes to die in the process. Merely 200 families (about 1,000 people) arrived eventually. By 1726, there were only 141 people. The population was decimated by the high rate of infant mortality and epidemics. According to the last parish priest of the reserve, the last natives died in the late 18th century.

As we approached the cabin we planned on staying in for the night, we passed this concrete block. It's there to tell people driving up canyon if the cabin is occupied or not. It wasn't, so we turned it around from VACANT to OCCUPIED.
The cabin sits at the end of a canyon and is still a couple of miles distant. There's not a lot of parking, due to the nature of the canyon, and this will hopefully save some people some trouble and the residents some unwanted visitors.
Every cabin I've stayed at, in and around Death Valley, has a US flag that you fly to alert people that it's occupied. This one did, too, but you can't see it until it's too late.
Argus Range

This Detroit neighborhood was "developed" by the homeless back when the Occupy Wall Street movement was a hot topic in the news. A few houses down a street in the city took kindly to occupying abandoned homes and this building was a hub, a center where the Occupy people offered free bikes and bike repairs to the local residents.
This shell was occupied as you can probably tell, looking at its center. I made sure to put it close to the water when I was done. I just fell in love with the shape.
I had visited this area several days prior and discovered a nest tree occupied by an advanced Owlet along with a parent (naturally assumed to be its Mom). Returning to the site I met two lady birders that had been monitoring the nest. Only the hatchling was in the tree... but the ladies were searching the nearby area for the adult. It was found perched as shown only about 20 m. from the nest tree in a location unobstructed by intervening foliage. I captured several shots that I judge were some of the best I have ever made of this species. The Owl provided continually changing poses.

This guy I saw on a street in San Francisco's Financial District during the "Occupy SF" protests. This is NOT posed, this is exactly what I saw... EXTREMELY ODD, I know!
"Sorry, this seat Is occupied. National Airlines. NAL. Airline of the Stars. New York, Florida, Havana, Washington, New Orleans. If you wish to reserve the same seat through your trip, please leave this card on your chair every time you leave the plane at any of the intermediate stops."
A "seat occupied" sign used on National Airlines in the 1950s. A Spanish-language version appeared on the other side: Ocupado.
