Changed the travel styles a bit this time, different from previous trips. Climbed mountains everyday, average 20km per day, above 800 meters elevation... The scenery on top of the peaks are soooo amazing! Addicted to it... LOL
This was taken near the peak of the Little Arethusa by cell phone, above the tree line - no trees around because less oxygen and harsh weather conditions.
Strong winds, snowing, hailing so hard when we just reached to the top, I put all my clothes and gloves on, my hands were still frozen, had to put on crampons and climbed down, about half hour later, all of sudden, everything stopped, we experienced the surprise of the Mother Nature: Sunshine, frog, light...!
There were just four of us on the whole mountain. We were at the bottom of the mountain just around sunset! That's the rule to climb the mountains - Be back before sunset for safety!!!
I am still at Rocky Mountains, will see you soon my dear Flick friends! ❤️ This is a photo taken by cell phone, no Photoshop editing... (I did not take my laptop with me).
Sad news: Bear kills two people and their dog... on Saturday at 8pm, the rescue team found them at 1am on Sunday...

The best things in life are free!
What a load of crap!
The last time I checked, a bottle of vintage Pol Roger cost more than a few quid and Richard Mille wouldn’t give me the time of day. If I did have a local McLaren dealer, I doubt they would appreciate me drooling down their windows, it’s not a good look!
But seriously, there are some things in life which do not cost anything apart from just a little effort, like fresh air. There can be no doubting the cathartic value of just being out there, free from the constraints of the mobile phone, the laptop and the strait jacket. After working indoors all week the chance to escape for a few hours wandering around the great outdoors, discussing the price of fish with any passing sheep that care to listen, is just too good a chance to miss.
Having the ‘no service’ sign on the mobile is actually a blessing; my only concern would be that I couldn’t let Jo know that I’d fallen down that ravine!
I just love the sound of water, from the crashing and breaking of waves to the gurgling and babbling of a gently flowing stream. It’s like therapy without the price tag, the comfy couch and the painful confrontation of life’s accumulated baggage!
When I go out on a shoot, I’m invariably alone and as you know, I talk crap most of the time, but conversations out loud with myself can have a tendency to attract unwanted attention from intrigued by-passers. I’m usually just surrounded by the sounds of the countryside; the joyous melody of the skylark, the gently babbling brook and of course the irate guttural expletives from the farmer because he objects to you playing on his tractor!
It’s a time for quiet reflection, contemplation and of course stuffing yourself with unhealthy goodies. A time to ask yourself questions like:
‘What would it be like to have friends’?
'How much pain would I suffer if I did fall the 20 feet off this ledge to the cascade below'?
'Is Love Island really contributing to our understanding of the psychology of interpersonal relationships'?
If I sound like an old fart, it’s because I am an old fart and the kids need to put down their mobiles, tablets and laptops and get outside. It’s the same for the old gits too, joint replacements and Pacemakers permitting, just get out there. As for me, I’m off to photograph a naked man on a beach!
Of all my waterfall shots, this is my favourite, shot at Rhiwargor Falls at Lake Vyrnwy.
I make no apologies for linking this guy again, you don’t have to listen, but this is quite simply beautiful and I think it goes well with this image. It's such an emotional piece, study his expressions, you can feel the emotion, either that or he's suffering with Gall stones! I also never knew a waste paper basket could sound so beautiful.
He is doing about 6 nights in Milan in December.........Hmmmm, Citybreak?

Los Picos de Europa son un macizo montañoso localizado en el norte de España que pertenece a la parte central de la cordillera Cantábrica. Aunque no muy extenso, su cercanía al mar hace que sea pródiga en accidentes geográficos de gran interés.
Esta formación caliza se extiende por Asturias, Cantabria y León y en ella destacan sus alturas, en muchos casos por encima de los 2.500 metros, por lo cerca que se encuentran del mar Cantábrico, pues en su punto más septentrional apenas se distancian 15 kilómetros del mar. Geográficamente los Picos de Europa se encuentran en la línea de la Cordillera Cantábrica, si
bien son considerados como una unidad independiente de ésta por su formación más reciente. Ocupan una superficie total de 64.600 hectáreas repartidas entre las tres provincias.
Los Picos de Europa están divididos en tres macizos: el macizo Occidental o Cornión, el macizo Central o de los Urrieles y el macizo Oriental o de Ándara.

Aki et Megan travaillent sur Oxygen Generation Assembly, le dispositif qui électrolyse l’eau (notamment recyclée) pour produire de l’oxygène. Comme vous imaginez, c’est un processus plutôt important pour nous, donc attention et précision maximales dans l’entretien et les réparations 😉 Autre avantage : le ravitaillement en oxygène depuis la terre peut se faire… sous forme d’eau, c’est plus facile à transporter ! L’hydrogène produit par la même réaction est ensuite combiné à du dioxide de carbone produit par notre respiration, pour former du méthane, et encore de l’eau 💧 qui repart dans le système ! Il ne resterait qu’à utiliser le méthane comme source d’énergie pour avoir un système où absolument rien ne se perd
👌
Aki and Megan working on the Oxygen Generation Assembly. Heavy maintenance on Space Station, but you can imagine how important oxygen is to us up here :) The fresh oxygen sent to us from Earth can actually come in the form of... water! This is easier to transport, and is turned into oxygen through water electrolysis, which sounds simple but requires some effort to be used operationally (as the unit shows), the leftover hydrogen is combined with carbon dioxide from our exhaled breath and water to produce methane that is discarded into space. The only thing left to create a system that uses all resources is if we use the methane as an energy source for example!

Cognitive dissonance on an oxygen tank: Yes, Technically, O₂ is non-flammable. Still, it is a huge fire risk.
A true paradox: A seeming contraticrion between non-flammable and fire hazard.
One of very few cases, where 'inflammable' might be a good wording.
ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti took these images from the International Space Station during her six-month mission. The Progress cargo ship and Soyuz crew spacecraft reflect sunlight as our star sets behind Earth.
Traveling at 28 800 km/h, astronauts can enjoy sunset and sunrise 16 times a day as they circle our planet in the Space Station.
Samantha commented on the pictures: “Before the orbital night embraces our outpost in space this cold metallic light shines on the Space Station” and “Have I mentioned how I love it when the Space Station is cuddled by this orange embrace?”
The colours appear as sunlight slices through the atmosphere. Light with shorter wavelengths is scattered by oxygen in the air first and appears blue. If sunlight hits the atmosphere at a low angle, it travels further through the air and more blue light is filtered out, creating the redder hue.
A sunset happens quickly in orbit – these two images were taken just two minutes apart before the Sun disappeared, returning just 45 minutes later.

e chi è in grado di di dire come potranno interagire l'un l'altra un uomo e una donna?

I switched it a up a little bit tonight. I wanted to get back to using negative space as a design element. So I lost the border I have been using on the rest of these, and I also didn't use any text. I know some people may argue that this won't flow with the rest of the ones I have already done...but the image makes me feel happy, and adding text and a border onto it ruined the calming feeling I think it evokes now. It feels very zen...just breathe it in...

I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
This dark group of photos taken at the Oxygen sim (which I heard is closing at the end of August) just sort of happened very late one night. I stopped by the sim on the recommendation of a friend. I was also messing about with DoF, and changing colors of an EEP Polyhistor gave me. The result was this dark, just-before-twilight lighting. It may have been because it was late at night, but the combination of the setting and the lighting brought back memories of summer vacations at the beach from many years ago. Perhaps it's just me, but the evening before it's time to head home after vacation - back to the life I've been granted - I've often found myself quietly recounting the previous days. I suppose it's a bit of a melancholic nostalgia. For instance, there is one photo with bikes and beach chairs leaning against the old, dark vacation house. I envisioned that just hours ago, the kids would have been playing and laughing. And just like the sleepy, sun-drenched kids are tucked away after a day of fun, so are the chairs and the bike. Tomorrow we will head home and a new family will be staying here, beginning their own vacation and probably playing with that bike. I feel a bit jealous. I would love to go back to our first day, when the week was full of possibility - with the probability of fun. But today - our last day - our time here slows to an dimly lit end. For a moment, I let my mind wonder... when we are gone, might the house remember us? Do the memories we create here stay and echo in the old gray wooden planks somehow? Is the house as sad to see us go as I am to leave? If I come back again someday, will the sea know it's me? Oh, how I long to imagine it's so. But for now, for this last twilight -- the last sunset I may ever see on this shore -- I sit and snap photos in the dark of details to help me remember. Like the rock we climbed on and played "giants and monsters." The bench where we sat and had ice cream. A cluster of the many cattails that covered the yard. The old blue rocking chair inside the window where I rocked my giggly baby to sleep. The dim, white kitchen light, hanging in the dark air like fog, that we trusted as our night light. The shadowy cabin filled with stories, and sleep, and hope, and dreams and regrets and memories and days that go by too, too fast. I won't remember everything. But I believe this house will. And I hope that, if I ever come back, this house will remember how happy we are, and... that somehow the people I love will be here with me still. With tears in my eyes, I want to forget that the sun will be setting soon. And so, I take another picture.
