For some time I walked along the deserted port looking for "Life" when, to my amazement, I saw a small bar made of wood with Mexican decorations and a fish stall. There were some "Mojitos" on the bar, as if they had just been made, but what intrigued me was the absence of people in the place, and it occurred to me that something scared the people who were here and they had to flee.
I was tempted to grab one of those delicious looking "Mojitos" and drink it, as the many days I spent sailing the seas of SL left me with almost no food and drink, but I didn't. I didn't know how long they had been there, what they were made of, or what had happened that they were left on the counter.
The fish in the stall were fresh, as if they had just been caught and put up for sale, but on my approach to the harbor I didn't see any fishing boats, not even when I arrived at the harbor. I thought about picking some fish and leaving some Lindens as payment, but I thought the same way I thought about the "Mojitos" and I didn't after all. There was still a lot of sea to sail home and I could always catch some fish on the boat.
The wind was blowing from the West, and it brought me the smell of freshly cooked food, and due to my gastronomic experience of tasting traditional dishes in the ports where I stopped, my nose "told me" that it was Asian food. Almost at the bottom of the harbor I had seen a mini Snack-Bar with illuminated signs. The smell coming from that place activated my HUNGER sensors, my belly was asking for food... so... I decided to walk towards the Snack-Bar to try to eat something... when... I heard a meow not very far from the place where I was and as I approached the meow became more intense... there was no doubt that there... was life in that place.

When I used to do concert photography more regularly, it seemed so easy for me to bike way across the city, shoot shows without payment and do this multiple times per week sacrificing sleep just to get the photos in earlier and then going to a very demanding day job. This was one such night...I believe it was a Tues. I biked in pouring rain 8 miles each way to photograph The Yeah Yeah Yeahs at The Aragon Ballroom and then biked all the way to The Empty Bottle to photograph the Norwegian band I Was a King and then came home and edited photos all night and went to work the next day. I should also mention that, on this particularly night, I vividly recall how I got THREE flat bike tires throughout the bicycling which made this almost beautiful tragic quality to the evening.
Anyway, I digress...this is some more rambling because I often get younger hipper people asking me "Oh my God! How did you get that photopass!" And then I tell them that I've invested $25,000+ of my own money which I will never recoup, sacrifice all my own sleep, time, and energy, and half the time have publicists either blank out or make me sign a photo contract and I slowly see all the envy fade from their eyes. The highs are high but the lows are way too low.

I hope the coming year is a great one for everybody! This past year exceeded my wildest expectations as an amateur nature photographer, with a steady trickle of requests to publish my work, including several international newspapers and magazines. 'Wally the Weasel' was recently published in the Globe and Mail, which I only learned after a neighbor said he had seen it there. 'Swallows in a Spring Snowstorm', seen here, has been unbelievably successful, published in more international newspapers and magazines than can be listed, many high profile. Best of all, I'm still getting royalty payments, talk about a goldmine! Currently it will be featured in the Jan/feb edition of Canadian Wildlife and Biosphère. It was a runner-up in the World Bird Photo contest and is being considered for publication in the newest edition of the Handbook of World Birds. Some of the raven images have also been very popular and featured in several publications.
As soon as I saw this set I knew I had to try something like this, if time permits I'm gonna try to expand it and add a few things.

An art piece I commissioned from hBrambleBerry (Lukka Rookswood) of my Hogwarts Owl NPC, Mr. Templeton
Mr. Templeton is an uncannily intelligent, Rufous Morph, Western Screech Owl. His job is to carry notes and letters all over Hogwarts Castle, and his approach is always heralded by the little bell on his lapel. *Jinglingling!* He is beloved by the students and faculty for his quirkiness and extremely eager to please demeanor; though it would be prudent to provide him with payment for his efforts in treats. However, the great remaining mystery is: How in the world someone gets that dashing vest on him... HOO KNOWS?
Mainau, Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland.
Mainau es una isla de Alemania, localizada en el Lago de Constanza y más precisamente en la parte noroccidental conocida como lago de Überlingen (Überlinger See). La isla está conectada por el sur con la tierra firme mediante un puente.
Mainau se encuentra comprendida en el territorio comunal de la ciudad de Constanza y de hecho la mejor forma de llegar a la misma es por medio del transporte urbano de esta ciudad, que tiene una línea de autobús con parada en el acceso a la isla. Ésta es un importante destino turístico gracias a su suave clima, merced al cual alberga una vegetación muy rica en especies, incluso subtropicales y tropicales.
La entrada a la isla se hace previo pago, pero su cuidada vegetación, los millones de flores que la decoran (como es evidente, fundamentalmente en los meses de primavera y verano), sus invernaderos de palmas y de mariposas - en el cual estas sobrevuelan libremente a los visitantes y son de gran variedad y grandes tamaños -, su espacio con variados tipos de columpios complejos, y su pequeña zona con diferentes animales, junto a otros detalles, son de un interés objetivo.
De acuerdo con todo lo anterior, el lugar también es denominado La isla de las flores.
Mainau is an island in Germany, located on Lake Constance and more precisely in the northwestern part known as Lake Überlingen (Überlinger See). The island is connected by the south with the mainland by means of a bridge.
Mainau is included in the communal territory of the city of Constanza and in fact the best way to get there is through the urban transport of this city, which has a bus line with stop at the access to the island. This is an important tourist destination thanks to its mild climate, thanks to which it shelters a vegetation very rich in species, even subtropical and tropical.
The entrance to the island is made after payment, but its careful vegetation, the millions of flowers that decorate it (as is evident, mainly in the months of spring and summer), its greenhouses of palms and butterflies - in which they fly over freely to visitors and they are of great variety and size - their space with varied types of complex swings, and their small area with different animals, together with other details, are of an objective interest.
In agreement with all the previous thing, the place also is denominated the island of the flowers.
I just received payment for this photo which I have sold to Scholastic Canada for a children's book about careers. That makes 2 sales in one year. Does this mean I have to turn professional?

Slovakia, Highland; former historical Hungary /Felvidék.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felvid%c3%a9k
Historic centre of the town with castle and churches
The first written reference to the town dates back to 1328, when it was granted royal town privileges by King Charles I of Hungary (I. Károly Róbert). The town's mint was already in existence at the time of the granting of royal privileges. Starting in 1335 the mint produced golden florins and later the famous "Kremnica (Körmöcbánya) ducats", which were used as an international means of payment as a result of their consistently high purity of gold. It was the most important mint, and later the only one, in the Kingdom of Hungary, in Czechoslovakia and nowadays in Slovakia; the prosperity brought to the town led to it being given the nickname "Golden Kremnica (Körmöcbánya)". Bánya=mine in Hungarian.

At the edge of the treeline only a few defiant ones prevail. At this altitude the clouds often sit under the horizon, filling the valley with a soft blanket. This sunrise kame as a super saturated streak between the clouds above and below. A nice payment for trekking up in the very early hours :)
Top Elevation - 2,133 m (6,998 ft)
This resort is right outside Banff, As you drive up the windy road to the observation area that overlooks the entire town of Banff, you might spot some amazing sheep licking the edges of the payment.
This is the Lodge.. its so warm and friendly. When you have hit one of the many different runs on Norquay.. you can fall into a comf chair in front of the fire, and just be.

Shot of a Star Ferry on a foggy Day.
The Star Ferry operates the following cross-harbour routes (The prices are effective from 15 July 2017):
Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. For lower deck, it costs HK$2.2 on Mondays to Fridays; HK$3.1 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. For upper deck, HK$2.7 on Mondays to Fridays; HK$3.7 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui for HK$2.7 on Mondays to Fridays; HK$3.7 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
Harbour Tour: a tourist cruise, making an indirect, circular route to all the stops, namely Tsim Sha Tsui, Central and Wan Chai.
Passengers may use Octopus or tokens to pay for the ride. Tokens are available in the vending machines at the piers. Direct payment by coins at turnstile is no longer accepted.
The Tsim Sha Tsui – Central route does not accept cycles, but the Tsim Sha Tsui – Wan Chai route accepts cycles for an extra charge of HK$14, except during the evening peak hour from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui.
Star Ferry has announced to provide sightseeing service between Tsim Sha Tsui and Disneyland Resort Pier, which has been emptied for 11 years since its open. This route consists of 2 departures and the round trip fare is $180. Passengers can enjoy views of Tsing Ma Bridge during the 45 journey on a luxury ferry World Star.
The Star Ferry is a passenger ferry service operator and tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Its principal routes carry passengers across Victoria Harbour, between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The service is operated by the "Star" Ferry Company, which was founded in 1888 as the Kowloon Ferry Company, and adopted its present name in 1898.
The fleet of twelve ferries operates two routes across the harbour, carrying over 70,000 passengers a day, or 26 million a year. Even though the harbour is crossed by railway and road tunnels, the Star Ferry continues to provide an inexpensive mode of harbour crossing. The company's main route runs between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.
It has been rated first in the “Top 10 Most Exciting Ferry Rides” poll by the Society of American Travel Writers (“SATW”) in February 2009.
Before the steam ferry was first created, people would cross the harbour in sampans. In 1870, a man named Grant Smith brought a twin-screw wooden-hulled boat from England and started running it across the harbour at irregular intervals.
In July 1873, an attempt was made to run steam ferries between Hong Kong and Kowloon. This was stopped at the request of the British consul in Canton, who feared it would enable visits to gambling houses in Kowloon.[4] It is thought that a service to the public was established in the mid-to-late 1870s, after the cession of Kowloon to the British in 1860.
The company was founded by Parsee merchant Dorabjee Naorojee Mithaiwala as the "Kowloon Ferry Company" in 1888. Naorojee bought Smith's boat, and later acquired the steam vessels Morning Star and Evening Star from a Mr Buxoo.[5] The popularity of this means of transport enabled him to increase his fleet to four vessels within 10 years: the Morning Star, Evening Star, Rising Star and Guiding Star. Each boat had a capacity of 100 passengers, and the boats averaged 147 crossings each day. He incorporated the business into the "Star Ferry Co Ltd" in 1898, prior to his retirement to India. The company name was inspired by his love of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar", of which the first line reads "Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me!".[citation needed]
At the time regular service was initiated, ships were moored by having a sailor on the vessel toss the rope to another on the pier, who would then catch it with a long billhook. This is still done today.
On his retirement in 1898, Naorojee sold the company to The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company Limited, at that time owned by Jardine, Matheson & Co. and Sir Paul Chater.
A pier constructed on the western end of Salisbury Road opened in 1906, but was destroyed by a typhoon in September 1906. In the early 1950s, construction of the present twin-piered terminal commenced on both sides of Victoria Harbour, designed to handle 55 million passenger trips a year. The structure was completed in 1957, concurrent with the Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier built on the island side.
At the turn of the century, Hong Kong currency and Canton currency were both accepted as legal tender in Hong Kong. In the autumn of 1912, following a devaluation, the Star Ferry caused a controversy by insisting, together with the tramways, that payment had to be made in Hong Kong currency only. Canton coinage would no longer be accepted.
In 1924 the Yaumati Ferry operated the route to Kowloon in a duopoly. In 1933 the Star Ferry made history by building the Electric Star, the first diesel electric passenger ferry of its kind.
By 1941, the company had six vessels. During the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong, the competing Yaumati Ferry was allowed to continue, while the Japanese commandeered the Star Ferry for their own purposes. The Golden Star and the Meridian Star were used to transport prisoners of war from Sham Shui Po to Kai Tak Airport. In 1943, the Golden Star was bombed and sunk in the Canton River by the Americans, and the Electric Star was sunk in the harbour. After the war, the ferries were recovered and returned to service.
Until the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel in 1972, the Star Ferry remained the main means of public transportation between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon side.
The Star Ferry operates on a franchise from the Government. It was last renewed in March 1998, the year of its centenary.
Made this for Jaymes as payment for the Titan Joker sculpt a while back. Just now getting this done due to unforeseen circumstances.
The mask is a MinifigCat skimask, on it in which the hole were filled and eyes sculpted out of Procreate. This is the only part done by James. He sent me the blank body and the mask, and I went at it. I used "pavement" instead of silver for the lines because silver paint is so hard to work with, and painted so many lines like this with silver was out of the question.
The entire thing is painted by me...unfortunately. I hated doing this, and I swear on my life I will never make another damn Spider-Man figure.....for anybody, including myself.
What do you think? Did the misery of making this at least make something work showing?

Sol de Mayo
El origen de este paraje se remonta a mediados del siglo XIX, época en que las Postas de Diligencias cubrían las necesidades de troperos y mayorales. Estos importantes comercios instalados en medio de la inmensidad de la pampa prestaban servicio de reposición de caballos a las diligencias que transitaban, como único medio de transporte, con pasajeros y encomiendas. Por el año 1859 los señores Segundo Villafañe y Hnos. tenían la concesión de la diligencia “El Sol de Mayo” con sede en Rivadavia 437 de la Capital Federal , operaba la ruta Lobos y de ahí a 25 de Mayo, la primera posta era La Irene, viejo paraje situado en el deslinde de los Partidos de Lobos y Navarro...la segunda parada que la diligencia se hacía en la Posta de Sol de Mayo, en el partido de Navarro. (”Navarro, Pagos de Juan Moreira”– Martín G. Duhalde–1979-Pág. 49). Su ubicación geográfica lo ubica en el extremo sur del partido, y parte de sus campos lindan con el Río Salado, frontera natural del distrito. Desde esos tiempos se conformó este paraje que concentraba centenas de habitantes en su zona de influencia, llegando a tener una población de 1.300 vecinos. Hoy, el éxodo rural lo ha convertido en un paraje rural con reducido número de vecinos.

Sol de Mayo
The origin of this place dates back to the middle of the 19th century, when the Postas de Diligencias covered the needs of troperos and mayorales. These important shops installed in the middle of the immensity of the Pampa provided service of replacement of horses to the stagecoaches that passed, as the only means of transport, with passengers and parcels. By the year 1859 Mr. Segundo Villafañe and Hnos. Had the concession of the diligence "El Sol de Mayo" with headquarters in Rivadavia 437 of the Federal Capital, operated the Lobos route and from there to May 25, the first post was La Irene, old place located in the demarcation of the parties of Wolves and Navarrese ... the second stop that the diligence was made in the Posta de Sol de Mayo, in the party of Navarro. ("Navarro, Payments of Juan Moreira" - Martín G. Duhalde-1979-Pg. 49). Its geographical location places it at the southern end of the district, and part of its fields border the Rio Salado, the natural border of the district. Since that time this place was formed that concentrated hundreds of inhabitants in its area of influence, reaching a population of 1,300 residents. Today, the rural exodus has turned it into a rural area with a small number of neighbors.
The center of our attention is focused on the Pulperia "Sol de Mayo", its Owner, Mr. Ruben Giles and his family, whom we remember with great affection and we thank for your hospitality.
Cemetary
In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 Japanese to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps.
On October 9, 1990, a ceremony was held to present the first reparations checks. Nine elderly Japanese received $20,000 each and a formal apology signed by President George H. W. Bush. Payments to surviving internees or their heirs continued until 1993, Clinton Administration.

A brilliant place to visit and a surprisingly large nature reserve in the middle of one of the worlds greatest and largest cities. You can see the urban backdrop and aeroplanes over the city but at times you will feel as if you are in the countryside. You will see many common wildlife as well as rare birds dropping in as well. It has quite an impressive list for a reserve in an urban area. A number of birds especially which are not found in urban areas are resident or passage migrants here.
City oasis

London Wetland Centre is an idyllic spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the City for a walk or to indulge in an afternoon of bird watching from one of our six hides. The reserve is easily accessible with pathways and bridges among the pools, meadows and gardens.
But if you want to learn a bit more about the centre - how it was created and the work we do here - you can join one of our tours held daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm. There’s no need to book and the tour is free with admission to the centre.
Our guides will explain how London Wetland Centre was created from four redundant Thames Water reservoirs. They will also point out wildlife spotted on the day.
Over 200 species of bird have been recorded on site since we opened in 2000. Also making their home amongst the 300,000 plants and 27,000 trees we planted during the centre’s creation are water voles, dragonflies, frogs, snakes, slow worms, bats, newts and butterflies, to name just a few.
You can also join one of our wardens at 3.00pm each day as they feed the birds in World Wetlands. Just turn up and the walks are free with admission to the centre.
As well as our regular walks we frequently run specialist walks and talks on everything from plant identification and reptiles to bird watching and bird song. See our Whats On section for forthcoming events.
And every day you will find our ‘Guide in the hide’ who will be able to point out the birds you can see on our lakes and lagoons.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit?
The London Wetland Centre is a beautiful place to visit all year round with the landscape and wildlife changing constantly with the seasons.
Spring is perfect for wild flowers and songbirds. In the summer you can relax outside with a picnic and enjoy the sound of marsh frogs, crickets and warblers. Our sustainable gardens are beautiful at that time of year, bursting into a blaze of colour that lasts all summer.
Autumn is great for seeing rare birds passing through on migration and winter is the best time to observe the flocks of wild duck or catch sight of an elusive bittern, regular visitors over recent winters.
Why not combine your visit with one of our special events such as late night opening, some of our animal themed events or a twilight bat walk?
What should we wear?
The centre has tarmac/firm level paths throughout and so any comfortable shoes will suffice. It is worth bringing an umbrella or waterproof if rain is forecast as the reserve covers more than 40 hectares and it can take a few minutes to reach shelter.
When should we pay?
Please pay at the admissions desk on the day of your visit. The centre would very much appreciate if you could arrange one payment per group. This will speed up your admission into the centre. If you are paying individually please be prepared to wait.
Some of our group can’t walk far, is it still suitable?
Yes, there is plenty to see and do in our visitor centre and there are numerous benches scattered throughout the reserve. It is also possible to book a wheelchair or electric buggy to help you travel around the reserve.

Work experience
WWT London Wetland Centre takes five work experience students a year for one working week at a time. Students spend each day working with a different department.
Work experience must be part of the schools programme and placements are subject to interview.
Demand for placements is very high and there are no remaining openings in 2012.
With limited staffing resources we very much regret that the London Wetland Centre cannot accept students on the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.

A whole load of inflated things at Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park, London. A world where Bob Cratchit meets cashless payments.
Carnitas, your stuff is ready, I've just got to cast that BF3 LMG pouch and we're good to go as soon as I get your payment.
To the left of the UMP and lmg pouch, theres a molle med pouch (WIP, gotta clean that one up), SPOSN SMERSH svd pouch ( zenphotos.net/file/Online/SVD/SVDChestRig/SmershSVDPouche... ), and another generic cargo pouch. Probably should've included at least one of the other generic cargo pouches of late. Oh well.
So, Carnitas, we good?
