Eye looking through a snoot in black and white. Concept for Retinitis Pigmentosa Awareness Month (February).
Do you have these moments when you spot a creature out of your peripheral vision and you wish it would freeze where it is? I had such a moment, the creature was a skink. But as skinks do, they try to run and hide.
I followed this little skink from the grass on the side of the driveway until it disappeared under the car. Thankfully the car was parked. I was trying to figure out where it was hiding when I spotted it again. Rest assured, I gave it enough room to move and not feeling in danger and so it was moving from under the car to the front of it. I was able to capture a few photos before it decided to dash back under the car again.
What an encounter it was, I love being in the fauna rich Sunshine Coast Hinterlands.

My passion is wildlife photography. I hope I can bring the beauty of nature into your home and show how amazing nature is. Every single animal needs our protection as they all play an important part in our survival.
There is an abundance of scientific reports telling us that the rate of extinction is happening at an alarming rate. More and more fauna and flora are going to disappear. With my wildlife photography, I hope to showcase a fraction of animals before they are gone. Only what you know, you will love and protect…

of how I am feeling these days. Peripheral neuropathy from the chemo forces me to rely on a walker and weakness in my hands prevents me from being able to steady my Nikons. As hard as this is, I know that this too shall pass, and to get to the other side, I have to go straight through the pain and frustration. It is what awaits me on the other side that makes the journey to the destination worth it all.
From Wikipedia:
"The word is used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection."
"In September 2006, it was reported in Nature that Shahar Arzy and colleagues of the University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland, unexpectedly had reproduced an effect strongly reminiscent of the doppelgänger phenomenon via the electromagnetic stimulation of a patient's brain. They applied focal electrical stimulation to a patient's left temporoparietal junction while she lay flat on a bed. The patient immediately felt the presence of another person in her "extrapersonal space." Other than epilepsy, for which the patient was being treated, she was psychologically fit.
The other person was described as young, of indeterminate sex, silent, motionless, and with a body posture identical to her own. The other person was located exactly behind her, almost touching and therefore within the bed on which the patient was lying.
A second electrical stimulation was applied with slightly more intensity, while the patient was sitting up with her arms folded. This time the patient felt the presence of a "man" who had his arms wrapped around her. She described the sensation as highly unpleasant and electrical stimulation was stopped.
Finally, when the patient was seated, electrical stimulation was applied while the patient was asked to perform a language test with a set of flash cards. On this occasion the patient reported the presence of a sitting person, displaced behind her and to the right. She said the presence was attempting to interfere with the test: "He wants to take the card; he doesn’t want me to read." Again, the effect was disturbing and electrical stimulation was ceased.
Similar effects were found for different positions and postures when electrical stimulation exceeded 10 mA, at the left temporoparietal junction.
Arzy and his colleagues suggest that the left temporoparietal junction of the brain evokes the sensation of self image—body location, position, posture etc. When the left temporoparietal junction is disturbed, the sensation of self-attribution is broken and may be replaced by the sensation of a foreign presence or copy of oneself displaced nearby. This copy mirrors the real person's body posture, location and position. Arzy and his colleagues suggest that the phenomenon they created is seen in certain mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, particularly when accompanied by paranoia, delusions of persecution and of alien control. Nevertheless, the effects reported are highly reminiscent of the doppelgänger phenomenon. Accordingly, some reports of doppelgängers may well be due to failure of the left temporoparietal junction."

“Flippers”
“And when i see you, i really see you upside down...
but my brain knows better, and picks you up and turns you 'round, turns you around…” -DCFC
Did you know that your eye is a converging lens?
“When you see things around you, your retina projected the images upside down. This is due to the optics used by our eyes. Images need to be flip so we can see objects much larger than the size of our pupil and so that we may have peripheral vision.” -hhttp://www.retinaeyedoctor.com/2010/03/eye-images-reversed-on-retina/
Even though a sheep eye and a human eye are different, they do share a few similarities. Sheep cannot see color, but they do have better peripheral vision than humans do. Scientists are very interested in studying the eyes of sheep because their research has led them to believe they can discover many new things about vision in humans and how they can correct problems.
It is extremely difficult to compare the eyes and the vision of two different species. In the case of the sheep eye and the human eye, though, there are many differences. The human eye has a fovea in the retina where the vision cells are located. This allows people to have sharp, clear vision. There is no fovea in the eye of a sheep, which means they are unable to focus on a specific object as humans can.
The eyes of the sheep are located on the sides of the head which enables them to be able to have a better peripheral vision, and this means that they have better vision to the sides. The human eyes face forward and this gives them overlapping, binocular vision. The eyes of the sheep are farther back on the top of their heads so that they have the ability to scan areas that are close by while they are grazing. This is also something that humans are unable to do.
Humans have a narrower field of vision than sheep, but they do have a greater field of depth perception than sheep. But this is not regarded as a major fault of the sheep eye because sheep not need depth perception in order to see grass in the field. For them the peripheral vision is more important because it enables them to see predators and this gives them time to escape.
More differences between the sheep eye and the human eye
1.The human eye has a circular shaped pupil, but the pupil in the sheep eye is oval in shape.
2.In the eye of the sheep there is a layer of tissues called the tapectum lucidum and this causes light to reflect off the eyes. This tissue is not present in the human eye.
3.Sheep have eyes on the sides of their heads, but human eyes face forward.
4.The human eye has depth perception, but the sheep eye does not.
5.In the human eye there are six muscles to allow movement, but in the sheep eye there are only four.

WEEK 22 – FGS Kroger, Set II
Here’s another look at the central portion of the façade, home to the Kroger logo and offshoot “Food & Pharmacy” signage. Actually… can this really be called the central portion? It’s actually the rightmost area of the storefront, not the center. But I would imagine the placement of the logo indicates centrality, insofar as the definition “of the greatest importance; principal or essential” is concerned (and not “of, at, or forming the center”). Oh well. Unlike me, I’m sure most (if not all!) of you could care less about all that stuff, so I digress. :P

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Since childhood, we have been stuffing bumps, but we are moving on. We learn to walk, we fall, but we get up and try again. Growing up. And so, for example, we do not enter the institute. Someone does not give up and tries again, and someone does not make more attempts. And so in many ways. Some take life into their own hands, persistently strive to achieve goals, look for their own way, gain invaluable experience, stumble upon the misunderstanding of others, but despite this, they continue to go. "It didn't work out the first time, it will work out the second time!" - and they try further, act. And others find excuses, avoid responsibility, wait for the "X hour", do not believe in themselves, etc.
⠀
And what do you think, if it didn't work out on the first attempt, is it worth giving up?
⠀
Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day, strong half of humanity! Determination, resourcefulness, great achievements, courage and courage! Let there be no obstacles on your way that you could not overcome. Take care and love your family and friends! A peaceful sky over our heads for all of us!

"Of the many drugs that are inhaled in this manner, nitrous oxide may be one of the safest. However, the mere fact that ones lungs can be filled with the stuff, at a very rapid rate means that asphyxiation can occur by displacing oxygen from the lungs, or suffocation can occur by simply blocking the ability of oxygen to get into the lungs as it normally would."
"Chronic inhalation of nitrous oxide results in damage to the peripheral nerves. Symptoms can include numbness, a tingling sensation or total paralysis."

The only preserved Romanesque sacred building in the Saarland
St. Peter was erected as a monastery church around 1200 by Wadgasser Premonstratensian canons, who came to Merzig as successors of the Augustinian canons. The layout shows a three-aisled basilica with a transept, chancel peripheral towers, side-apses and a western single tower. The gothic cross-vault ornamented with heraldry was not put in until the 16th century. In the course of a renovation in the 60s of the last century, the nave was extended to the west around the Mary Chapel, while the southern side nave was given a new entrance hall. Special architectural attention deserve the two north portals, the small "cemetery portal" at the transept and the larger main and lay portal at the side ship. In the course of the extensive external restoration of St. Peter, completed in December 2004, the former main portal was reopened in the west tower.
In the interior of St. Peter the visitor can see a large number of cultic works, especially from the Baroque period. The Christ, Mary and the 12 apostles, who were made around 1700 by Wolfgang Stupeler, are particularly worth mentioning. Also worth seeing is the 17th-century Pietà in the side chapel in the northern transept. Further attention-getters are the high altar with the crowning pelican figure around 1738 probably carved by the Saarlouis sculptor Ferdinand Ganal, an early Christian symbol, the stemming from the 4th century Gothic plague cross over the altar, the revolving baptismal font, or the St. Nicholas statue rediscovered and restored just a few years ago. In extensive reconstruction work in 1984/85, the paintings by the Merzig painter Heinrich Klein, which had been coated in the framework of the Second Vatican Council, were also exposed, the latter one has made them in the style of the Nazarene school after models of Eduard von Steinle.
As the most important building in our city and the only preserved Romanesque sacred building in the state of Saarland, characterises the parish church of St. Peter most of all for those coming from the east from the direction of Brotdorf the image of the core city. In spite of the many changes that St. Peter has undergone during the course of his long history through fire catastrophes, war destructions or transformations in the style of the particular zeitgeist, the church has, apart from the Westbau (west wing), kept its original shape.
Einziger erhaltener romanischer Sakralbau im Saarland
St. Peter wurde um 1200 von Wadgasser Prämonstratenserchorherren, die als Nachfolger der Augustinerchorherren 1182 nach Merzig gekommen waren, als Klosterkirche errichtet. Der Grundriss zeigt eine dreischiffige Basilika mit Querhaus, Chornebentürmen, Nebenapsiden und einem westlichen Einzelturm. Das wappenverzierte gotische Kreuzgewölbe wurde erst im 16. Jahrhundert nach einem Brand eingezogen. Im Zuge einer Renovierung in den 60er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts wurde das Nordseitenschiff um die Marienkapelle nach Westen verlängert, während das südliche Seitenschiff eine neue Eingangshalle erhielt. Besondere architektonische Aufmerksamkeit verdienen die beiden Nordportale, das kleine "Friedhofsportal" am Querhaus und das größere Haupt- und Laienportal am Seitenschiff. Im Zuge der im Dezember 2004 abgeschlossenen umfangreichen Außensanierung von St. Peter wurde das frühere Hauptportal im Westturm wieder geöffnet.
Im Innern von St. Peter erwartet den Besucher eine große Zahl kultischer Kunstwerke, vor allem aus der Zeit des Barock. Besonderes zu erwähnen sind beispielsweise die Christus, Maria und die 12 Apostel darstellenden Figuren, die um 1700 von Wolfgang Stupeler gefertigt wurden. Sehenswert ist auch die aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammende Pietà in der Nebenkapelle im Nordquerhaus. Weitere Blickfänge sind der um 1738 vermutlich von dem Saarlouiser Bildhauer Ferdinand Ganal geschaffene Hochaltar mit der krönenden Pelikanfigur, einem frühchristlichen Symbol, das aus dem 14. Jahrhundert stammende gotische Pestkreuz über dem Altar, die Drehtaufe oder die erst vor wenigen Jahren wiederentdeckte und restaurierte Nikolausstatue. Bei umfangreichen Renovierungsarbeiten im Jahr 1984/85 wurden auch wieder die im Rahmen des II. Vatikanischen Konzils überstrichenen Malereien des Merziger Malers Heinrich Klein freigelegt, der diese nach Vorlagen von Eduard von Steinle im Stil der Nazarener Schule gefertigt hat.
Als das bedeutendste Bauwerk unserer Stadt und einziger erhaltener romanischer Sakralbau im Saarland prägt die Pfarrkirche St. Peter vor allem für die Besucher, die von Osten her aus Richtung Brotdorf kommen, das Bild der Kernstadt. Trotz der vielfältigen Veränderungen, die St. Peter im Lauf seiner langen Geschichte durch Brandkatastrophen, Kriegszerstörungen oder Umgestaltungen im Stile des jeweiligen Zeitgeistes erfahren hat, hat die Kirche, abgesehen vom Westbau, ihre ursprüngliche Gestalt weitgehend behalten.
European Green Woodpecker / picus viridis. Lincolnshire. 24/06/16.
'PERIPHERAL VISION'.
This view of a Green Woodpecker helped me better understand why they are such impossible birds to sneak up on, (however stealthily), from behind!
Those bulging eyes are set on the side of its head for the sole purpose of survival. Their strategic positioning allows the bird to have the very best peripheral vision possible. A wider visual field enables it to detect the slightest movement or threats from predators, whatever direction they may be coming from.
When I think back to the many hours I've spent waiting for, then crawling inch by painful inch under camouflage netting towards feeding Green Woodpeckers, I realise I was onto a loser from the start!
My thanks then to Tom Robinson, owner of Wildlife Photography Hides, who has a beautifully designed set-up which allowed me to make images in comfort.

Location: IWay construction site, Providence RI

Notes: Shot with Nikon D200 with Nikon 10.5mm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The usual crew of threshold, rizzolo, skazama and rtlm401 came out to Providence to shoot the IWAY before it's impending opening of the Rte-195 East Bound lanes in November.
Down below is a haunt we visited many times prior to the IWAY construction.
After finishing the film in my F100 and Holga I allowed the D200 to come out and play. That wasn't until 11pm and the "Late Nighters" stayed until 1:20am... man was beat the next day.
You can see a group pool here of all our shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.
A training slide of what I believe could be bacterial meningitis. (Different from viral meningitis by the type of white cells present.)
The larger, more reddish violet and spotted circles are likely segmented neutrophils - a type of white blood cell. The much more tiny dark violet dots speckled all around them are bacteria.
It is not usual for bacteria to be in the bloodstream at all. A slide as this is uncommon for as much as that as the fact that it is not common for that many white cells to congregate so closely together.
The image, to me, is a strong representation of the way the body fights to defend itself against foreign invaders. Swarming and rising to the challenge. Fight on!

30 Days of Perception - Day 15
Walking back from an appointment, I lingered purposely and caught something bright from the corner of my eye. I turned my head and looked over through a garden in the shade. Over the fence on the other side, I saw hanging vines framing a colourful scene. It was an unexpected sunny encounter. Lingering brings many gifts!

Music games with awesome plastic peripherals have always appealed to me.
Dance Dance Revolution, Samba de Amigo, EyeToy: Groove, Donkey Konga, Guitar Hero, Rockband, and now... DJ Hero!
Perhaps it's my unhealthy desire to be really good at any outlet of artistic expression right away!
Video games that make you a champion dancer, a world class rockstar, or a super-scratchin DJ with minimal investment satisfy that desire.
So this weekend, I was sampling and scratching to my heart's content! Huge headphones and all!
I sniped the $200 Special Edition for $40 on eBay too! Mwahahaaa!
Moving a little plastic platter in repetitive quarter circles has never been so fun.

Shai-Hulud. There is no spoon.
This afternoon I had spoken these words aloud, oblivious to whether anyone was in earshot, just before I ascended this last set of staircases at the Ditmartian Land (Ditmars Blvd) subway station.
Shai-Hulud is from Frank Herbert's novel DUNE. And was the Fremen term for the sandworm of Arrakis, a fictional extraterrestrial creature.
The phrase "there is no spoon" from the movie The Matrix suggests that reality is an illusion and that limitations exist only if we believe in them. It emphasizes the idea that understanding and perception can change our experience of reality.

My chemotherapy treatments, now concluded since early October, afflicted me with CIPN (Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy), which has left my feet and ankles swollen and numb. I have been working remotely, as well as convalescing. Walking has been extremely challenging for me, and I have been staying home. Though I had begun slowly doing stretching exercises. These next two weeks I am on vacation. For what that's worth. Last week the numbness in my feet changed and moved toward the front of my feet. So now my feet are half numb. I'll take it!
Today had been a milestone, as I was able to ascend the 4 staircases of the nearby elevated subway station, ride the train 4 stops, pick up some meds, get a flu shot and return the same way. Next, I went to the Supermarket, then picked up some deliveries from the Amazon locker in my lobby. After which I needed to walk upstairs to my 4th floor walk-up penthouse apartment. It was certainly all a lot, though it was so worth it, and I felt amazing. It tired me out, though I will rest and push myself again another day soon. Lotta 4's today

In numerology, the number 4 is associated with traits like discipline, punctuality, and practicality. It is often referred to as the "struggling number" due to its connection with persistence and the tendency to face delays in achieving goals.
