Peripheral vision is extremely important to Bighorns, which is why their pupils are oval-shaped and why they grind the tips of their horns in a process called "brooming."
This female LEO was so good, they made her shoot left-handed and blindfolded. Actually, the red blinders prevent her peripheral vision from picking up competitors on either side of her.

I never expected this photo to make Explore. Just something going on in Oklahoma to place in the "Oklahoma Through My Eyes" group. Since so many are viewing this photo, I'd like them to know a little about the man this pistol match is named for.
Sergeant Dale DeBerry
Norman Police Department
End of Watch: Tuesday December 1, 1998
I knew Dale and never saw the man without a big smile on his face. I always thought he was almost 'too nice' to be a police officer. But, that big smile never kept Dale from doing his job.
Dale suffered a massive heart attack while running an obstacle course at the Norman Police Range. Fellow officers did CPR on him, but he never made it to the hospital. I was acquainted with two Norman officers who died in the line of duty several years ago. It's fitting that they are remembered to this day because of how they died. But to those who knew these men, they are remembered for how they lived.
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

There’s something super special about a New Zealand hoar frost to me, these are unequivocally my favourite scenes to photograph anywhere on earth, ever !
I thought to myself, what is it you like so much about these scenes, and I think the answer is four things combined - the subtle colour palette, the contrast, the soft atmospheric feel, & the fact that these images are made to be fine art prints & hung on the wall.
“Peripheral” Winter 2024’
Prints available.
I’m sorry for my lack of Flickr time. I’ve had a really busy two weeks at work; I had nightshift at the hospital and had a lot of stab incidents, aneurysm’s (balloon-like bulge in the brain or the aorta) and other traumas. So that left a lot less time for you guys.
Technique:
I used my Canon 5D mark II with the 17-40 mm L lens.
I made the aperture as wide as possible f/4.0 to make the tree stand out and set the white balance mode on shade for the colors.
Theirs is no processing on this shot because I don’t have the software to do that.

El ratón o “mouse” es un periférico informático que nos ayuda enormemente como usuarios de computadoras. Hoy en día sería inconcebible manejar un ordenador y muchos de sus programas o sistemas operativos sin un ratón. Creado en los 60 en la Universidad de Stanford California, no fue hasta 1984 cuando se haría popular con el lanzamiento de la computadora Macintosh, hasta hacerse imprescindible en nuestros días - "Mouse" is a computer peripheral device that helps us tremendously as computer users. Today it would be unthinkable to use a computer and many of its programs or operating systems without a mouse. Created in the 60s in California Stanford University, it was not until 1984 when it would be popular with the release of the Macintosh computer, to become indispensable in our days
• She sits on the edge of maybe,
where dreams drift off and just begin.
No map, no compass in her hand,
but still the courage to stand still.
She softly says, “I do not know,”
and that is all she has to show.
But in that quiet, open name,
there lies a truth without a claim.
She is no riddle to be solved,
no path that must be clearly drawn —
but a story growing gently still,
in doubt, in hope, in morning’s dawn.
As always, a huge thanks to those who stop by to view, fave and or comment! It is truly appreciated... 🙏 ❤️
Went on a photo safari again for the annual Little Five Points Halloween Parade in Atlanta, Georgia. The heavy clouds made for some somewhat flat pics, but Bhavini loaned me her new 16-35L lens. It's a great super wide angle lens that's perfect for this type of event. People really get distorted on the peripherals, but it allows for a lot of space to compose a story.
There were about 5,000 people at the parade and it was a great loud and rowdy neighborhood festival. The costumes were amazing as always and it was great to see so many kids getting in on the fest.

This is a computer mouse that glows when it’s in use. The orange bit pulsates. There is also a dock that charges the mouse and that is the green light on the picture. HMM
Heading north from the trans line to Neale Junction in the two GSWA Land Rovers.
I was a good tree climber.. from childhood to years of caving and some rock Climbing!
Part of my early #roundaustraliawithspelio travels…. with the #GSWANullarbor
It is a wonder I was allowed to climb the tree in a very remote part of the Nullarbor in the outback. OHS then, for the whole year!
The great gate (darwaza-i rauza) that leads from the north of the jilaukhana to the garden, and ultimately to the mausoleum of Mumtaz Mahal, is a large structure with triadic openings. Looking at the south elevation, the base of the gate measures nearly 38 meters and its peripheral walls, including the cupolas, are 30 meters in height. The central pishtaq, also including the cupolas, is 33 meters in height and 19 meters wide. The gate is composed of red sandstone with decorative panels and accents in white marble. The surface treatment of the pishtaqs is elaborate: it is framed in white marble and inlaid with precious stones. Its central arch is delineated by a triple rope moulding and surrounded by a frame containing the Daybreak Sura (Sura al-Fajr) in thuluth script. The entry iwan contains muqarnas in red sandstone, which contrast with the white plaster paint outlining each segment. (The northern elevation of the gate is identical to the southern one; the lower left corner of its framed inscription also contains the signature of the calligrapher, Amanat Khan). Topping the central pishtaq is a series of eleven arches in red sandstone, capped by a chajja; eleven white marble chhatris crown the chajja. A single column rises from the pishtaq to complete each end of the arcade; this column terminates in a finial above the chhatris. This same column runs in engaged form along the height of the pishtaq itself.
Taj Mahal, the pinnacle of Mughal architecture, was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658), grandson of Akbar the great, in the memory of his queen Arjumand Bano Begum, entitled ‘Mumtaz Mahal’. Mumtaz Mahal was a niece of empress Nur Jahan and granddaughter of Mirza Ghias Beg I’timad-ud-Daula, wazir of emperor Jehangir. She was born in 1593 and died in 1631, during the birth of her fourteenth child at Burhanpur. Her mortal remains were temporarily buried in the Zainabad garden. Six months later, her body was transferred to Agra to be finally enshrined in the crypt of the main tomb of the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is the mausoleum of both Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan.
The mausoleum is located on the right bank of the river Yamuna at a point where it takes a sharp turn and flows eastwards. Originally, the land where the Taj Mahal presently stands belonged to the Kachhwahas of Ajmer (Rajasthan). The land was acquired from them in lieu of four havelis as is testified by a court historian, Abdul Hamid Lahauri, in his work titled the Badshah-Namah and the firmans (royal decrees). For construction, a network of wells was laid along the river line to support the huge mausoleum buildings. Masons, stonecutters, inlayers, carvers, painters, calligraphers, dome-builders and other artisans were requisitioned from the whole of the empire and also from Central Asia and Iran. While bricks for internal constructions were locally prepared, white marble for external use in veneering work was obtained from Makrana in Rajasthan. Semi-precious stones for inlay ornamentation were brought from distant regions of India, Ceylon and Afghanistan. Red sandstone of different tints was requisitioned from the neighbouring quarries of Sikri, Dholpur, etc. It took 17 years for the monument complex to be completed in 1648.
In all, the Taj Mahal covers an area of 60 bighas, as the terrain gradually sloped from south to north, towards the river, in the form of descending terraces. At the southern point is the forecourt with the main gate in front and tombs of Akbarabadi Begum and Fatehpuri Begum, two other queens of Shah Jahan, on its south-east and south-west corners respectively called Saheli Burj 1 and 2.
On the second terrace is a spacious square garden, with side pavilions. It is divided into four quarters by broad shallow canals of water, with wide walkways and cypress avenues on the sides. The water channels and fountains are fed by overhead water tanks. These four quarters are further divided into the smaller quarters by broad causeways, so that the whole scheme is in a perfect char-bagh.
The main tomb of the Taj is basically square with chamfered corners. The minarets here are detached, facing the chamfered angles (corners) of the main tomb on the main plinth. Red sandstone mosque on the western, and Mehman-Khana on the eastern side of the tomb provides aesthetically a clear colour contrast.
The Taj has some wonderful specimens of polychrome inlay art both in the interior and exterior on the dados, on cenotaphs and on the marble jhajjhari (jali-screen) around them.
Yesterday evening I was driving into London when I came up to a red light, there was a fair amount of traffic so I figured it might be a wait. I saw motion in my peripheral so glanced to my left where I saw 4 men in a red van, they were looking worried and motioning to my wheel, I was worried and wound down my window. Initially I smiled at them, thankful they were warning me of whatever might be wrong with my car, my smile faded rapidly as they all looked at me and, instead, started berating me with verbal sexual abuse. Completely horrendous disgusting things that that said they wanted to do to me. I turned and stared forward trying to wind my window up, I remembered pretty quickly that my window had been broken for a while now and doesn't wind up to the top without help, so I had to leave it, with a rather large gap. For the next 5 minutes I was frozen in shock and fear holding into my steering wheel staring forward willing the light to turn green so I could leave.
I don't think anyone needs to hear the specifics of the things they were saying, in the realm of how they wanted to bend me over this or that and shove things in here or there. I had a deep visceral reaction to there abuse, I was instantly shaking and felt vulnerable and targeted. It all felt so invasive.
Luckily the light turned green and I drove off towards my destination, which fortunately was a restaurant where my family was.
On the drive home a thought more about the incident, it reminded me of the recent leaked video of Presidential candidate Donald Trump. He may have passed it off as locker room banter, or that it was just words, but what his actions and thoughts and voice, what it does it condone this kind of behaviour, that other men will think this is ok. It is not ok.
As I was sat there staring forward holding back tears as they spoke those horrendous words I didn't understand, I didn't understand why they kept talking, why they kept saying more predatory sexual things, how they kept objectifying me when I was so visibly scared and upset. What humans are these?
My incident was minor but had a horribly visceral reaction, more incidents are a lot lot worse, horribly so. On reflection I will come back to how damaging videos like the one of Trump perpetuate this behaviour. If you asked those men after what they were doing, they would just say they were just being a bunch of lads, it was just banter. It should never be passed of as any of these things, as a result you are making someone physically shake, you are making them scared, feel vulnerable and frozen with fear.
This isn't acceptable.
I did post about what happen on Instagram and will say this though, for every completely shit person out there, there is also a thousand amazing people and I can't thank you enough to all those people that commented to show their mutual outrage and to see if I was ok. I am, and you all helped, thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments & faves are greatly appreciated.

No Group Banners, thanks.
Washington, Connecticut. Driving home from an errand my left peripheral vision caught these trees with the fog behind them and it took my brain about 1/4 mile to register that I should stop, get out of the truck, set up the camera on tripod and take a picture. Some days wanting to get home and warm up by the fire really gets in the way of photography, other days photography gets in the way of getting home. When these two forces hit simultaneously one is frozen and it's interesting to see what tips it one way or the other.

The large frieze about a third of the way above the ground, shows very significant details for the combination of industrial intentions, so to speak, between the capital and the Piedmontese city headquarters of Fiat (in fact the building had this name, while now it belongs to the Carige Group). In fact, there are the she-wolf and the bull (the animal symbols of the two localities), mixed with wheels, propellers, tracks, various gears typical of mechanical industrial activity. The structure, schematically covered with travertine, is a huge parallelepiped which, apart from the decoration mentioned above, is very rational. The architect is Marcello Piacentini, archistar between the twenties and sixties of the last century, and he built it between 1947 and 1948, when the area was considered 'peripheral'.
