ENGLISH
The Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known as the Robust Chimpanzee, is a great ape. The name troglodytes, Greek for 'cave-dweller', was coined by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his Handbuch der Naturgeschichte (Handbook of Natural History) published in 1779. Colloquially, it is often called the chimpanzee (or simply 'chimp'), though technically this term refers to both species in the genus Pan: the Common Chimpanzee and the closely-related Bonobo, or Pygmy Chimpanzee.
Common Chimpanzees are found in the tropical forests and wet savannas of Western and Central Africa. They once inhabited most of this region, but their habitat has been dramatically reduced in recent years.
Human and Common Chimpanzee DNA is very similar. The DNA sequence differences between humans and chimpanzees is about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Typical human and chimp protein homologs differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30% of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein. Duplications of small parts of chromosomes have been the major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material; about 2.7% of the corresponding modern genomes represent differences, produced by gene duplications or deletions, during the approximately four to six million years since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor.

CASTELLANO
El chimpancé común (Pan troglodytes) es una especie perteneciente a los grandes simios. Los chimpancés son los parientes más cercanos al ser humano; su rama evolutiva se separó de la rama de los humanos hace aproximadamente 7 millones de años y comparten el 96% del ADN con ellos, lo que ha llevado a Jared Diamond a utilizar el término "el tercer chimpancé" para referirse a nuestra propia especie.
Podemos encontrar chimpancés en las selvas tropicales y sabanas húmedas de África central y occidental. Solían habitar la mayor parte de esta región, pero su hábitat ha sido drásticamente reducido en los últimos años.
Los chimpancés adultos pueden medir hasta 130 cm (hembras) y 160 cm (machos), y los adultos pesan entre 40 y 70 kg, aunque poseen una fuerza muy superior a la humana. Sus cuerpos están cubiertos por un pelaje grueso de color marrón oscuro, con excepción del rostro, dedos, palmas de la mano y plantas del pie. Tanto sus pulgares como el dedo grande del pie son oponibles, permitiendo un agarre preciso. La gestación del chimpancé dura ocho meses. Las crías son destetadas aproximadamente a la edad de tres años, pero generalmente mantienen una relación cercana con su madre por varios años más. La pubertad es alcanzada a la edad de ocho a diez años y su esperanza de vida es de 50 años en cautiverio.

Now I'm majorly pissed off!!!
I had just finished typing my usual waffle but flickr is deciding to play up at the moment which means it didn't upload my waffle and now I have to re-type.
Sunday wasn't a good day for me!! My Mac has been murdered.....................yep by me. I killed it with alcohol which missed my mouth! It was my first glass and I hadn't even touched a drop when it decided to spray itself all over my beautiful mac.
Then the sickness bug strikes our house and Amara spends the whole day spewing all over the carpet. So I'm now waiting for the shit and spew yourself thin diet to hit me like a sledge hammer!!! What a way to start the week!!!! ;-)

Una bandada de Tucancillos trabaja arduamente para construir un nido todos trabajan en equipo.
esta es una especie que poco a poco se va adaptando al ser humano y debido a esa situacion va ganando terreno, se le puede ver en bosques y en zonas urbanas, come semillas de palmeras pero tambien se la ha visto asaltando nidos de otras aves para robar sus huevos, ademas se han observados ejemplares llevando crias de pequeños mamiferos.

I saw from the beach, when the morning was shining,
A bark o'er the waters move gloriously on;
I came when the sun o'er that beach was declining,
The bark was still there, but the waters were gone.
And such is the fate of our life's early promise,
So passing the spring-tide of joy we have known;
Each wave that we danced on at morning ebbs from us,
And leaves us, at eve, on the bleak shore alone.
Oh, who would not welcome that moment's returning
When passion first waked a new life through his frame,
And his soul, like the wood that grows precious in burning,
Gave out all its sweets to love's exquisite flame.
texture Skeletalmess
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Fall colours at Deer Lake in Burnaby near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: Fall is my favourite season and that season starts tomorrow! I am so excited and can't wait for the leaves to change colours soon. In the mean time I will share a photo I took last year around mid October at beautiful Deer Lake in Burnaby near Vancouver. This place is only about 10-15 minute drive from my place, so I will be checking it out over there frequently and hope that the colours will be as vibrant this year as well.

Some information on Deer Lake Park: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Deer Lake is a relaxing 5 kilometre/3 mile walk around an urban lake just outside of Vancouver. The walking trail around the lake is good any time of year and is very popular with dog walkers in and around Burnaby. Trails in the park lead to a kids playground, washrooms, a boat launch and picnic tables. In the summer months Deer Lake Boat Rentals offers canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals. Gas or electric motors are not allowed on this lake.
Deer Lake is also home to the Burnaby Art Gallery, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby Village Museum and Century Gardens. The Burnaby Art Gallery manages the City of Burnaby's permanent art collection while the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is a multi-purpose community arts facility providing public exhibitions, performances, festivals and art classes. The Burnaby Village Museum depicts life in the area from the 1920's. They have reconstructed 31 full scale buildings over 10 acres, with staff in costumes like in the 1920's.
Deer Lake Park is a great place for outdoor activities and cultural life in Burnaby. Whether you want to visit an art gallery or see an outdoor concert, Deer Lake Park is the place you will find it. Your kids will love the park for the beach, the playground, the water activities and the Burnaby Village Museum. In the summer months the park comes alive with outdoor concerts and lake activities and in the off season it is a relaxing park to go for a quiet walk around the scenic trails.

Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
'Cause you can
Can be a cruel fella
So okay, then I just back off
The vanilla
Think of me as programmable soda
'cause I've come
I've come to accept that
For lovelies you are a fanatic
But I can't
I can't let that throw me
Into a genital panic
Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda

And boy when you drink
When you think of me

Ok now I finally took the time to process one of my favourite shots from the trip to cornwall. I usually tend to get a bit anxious when it comes to processing the shots which during vacation just looked so gorgeous and about which I was the most excited. I often fear that I don't do the scene justice with the shot and the processing. As you can guess this is not out of camera, that wouldn't have been enough for me to convey the emotions connected to this scene. It's a focusstacked DRI image. And I did a little more than usual to enhance the color contrasts between warm and cool and green and magenta.
It's such a bliss when after a clouded day the sun comes into view for sunset. I was desperately waiting for this moment since I knew it would come to bath the foreground into a warm light and give the sky a kind of ethereal look... Well might also be that this is only how the scene looked or felt for me, but I hope you guys also like it!!
cheers

It was with sadness that I learned last night of Paul Buff's passing. Paul was a free thinking pioneer and innovator in many fields. He was a writer, an artist, a musician and a photographer. Paul was a patron of the arts, who didn't just buy art. He invented and produced a revolutionary product, White Lightning monolights that suddenly made studio lighting affordable. Then he beat himself at his own game and made the same product even less expensive with Alien Bee monolights.
Through Paul Buff's product innovation he enabled photographers like myself to reach new levels of creativity. Without Paul Buff, many enthusiast photographers who survive on day jobs would be using natural light and/or speedlights. Paul Buff was a polarizing individualist who lived his beliefs. He steadfastly refused to allow camera stores to sell and mark up his equipment. He provided absolute customer satisfaction. Whether you agreed with him or not, you had to admit that the impact of his product and business model on photography was revolutionary in a scope just below digital photography itself. And for that, we can all be grateful.
Thank you Paul for all you did
Yellow ragwort, light green lichen on rocks, and white blossoms of red diamorpha: native and endemic spring flora on a granite monadnock.
DeKalb County (Stonecrest), Georgia, USA.
27 March 2024.
***************
▶ "Once part of a quarry, Arabia Mountain is now protected as part of the Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. This otherworldly rock outcrop is a monadnock, a geologic formation that has seen the ground around it erode. Arabia Mountain also contains a variety of rare and endangered plants, such as diamorpha, which grows in the fragile solution pit ecosystems that appear on the rock face."
— Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance.
▶ "Stone cutters especially appreciated Arabia Mountain for the unique quality of its granite (a mix of granite and gneiss referred as 'migmatite'), known for its high density, colorfastness, and attractive appearance. When it formed deep below the surface of the Earth, bands of light and dark minerals twisted to create distinctive swirls that broke the stone’s granular appearance, giving it the fitting name, 'Tidal grey' "

Ensaio Geral
O balet conta uma história onde a fantasia e magia, típicas de um romantismo, contam as aventuras de um quebra-nozes de aparência humana, vestido como um soldado, mas que tem as pernas e a cabeça de tamanho desmensurado. A heroína, Clara, gostava tanto da sua aparência que o pediu como presente de natal ao seu padrinho. Assim o padrinho Herr Dosslmeyer fabricante de relógios disse "Era precisamente para ti", logo em seguida Clara experimenta-o e vê que ele quebra as nozes sempre sem perder o seu sorriso e também com grande eficácia. Seu irmão Fritz, que tinha visto como o quebra-nozes funcionava, também quis usá-lo, mas escolhe as nozes maiores que havia no cesto. Então o quebra-nozes, sendo usado grosseiramente pelo irmão dela, acaba quebrando um de seus braços. Diante das reclamações da pobre Clara, seu pai o juiz Stahlbaun, entrega à filha o seu quebra-nozes como propriedade exclusiva, tendo Fritz que sair para brincar com os seus brinquedos. Logo em seguida Clara pega no chão o braço de quebra-nozes e o consola abraçando-o em seus braços até ele dormir e Clara, também acaba dormindo. Com o adormecimento, Clara sonha... Clara volta ao esconderijo onde havia colocado o seu quebra-nozes, mas encontra o salão cheio de ratazanas enormes que o seu padrinho Dosselmeyer criou. A casa desapareceu e no lugar onde ficavam os móveis estavam árvores gigantescas. Não foi só isso que mudou; o Quebra-Nozes de Clara agora é um soldado de carne e osso e que tem às suas ordens um pelotão de soldados como ele. Começa uma batalha entre as ratazanas e o pelotão do Quebra-Nozes. Jogando enormes sapatos até às ratazanas, os soldados vencem a batalha, e com isso o rei das ratazanas e também as suas ratazanas fogem rapidamente. O bosque se transforma numa linda estufa de inverno. E o Quebra-Nozes transforma-se num lindo príncipe que leva Clara até o Reino das Neves, onde apresenta ao rei a rainha a menina e dançam juntos. Fim do 1º Acto.
Acto II
- 2º Ato
No início do 2º acto Clara e o príncipe Quebra-Nozes despedem-se e seguem para o Reino dos Doces pelo Caminho da Limonada, onde pastéis de todos os reinos do mundo dançam com os dois. Depois deste sonho tão mágico e fantástico Clara acorda e percebe que havia sonhado,ficando triste por isso. Deste modo, vai se despedir do padrinho mago, que tinha ido para casa na companhia do sobrinho. Então, para surpresa de Clara, o tal sobrinho é na verdade o príncipe Quebra-Nozes. Assim acaba o 2º Acto.
A Companhia de Dança Ana Unger apresentará o espetáculo 'Quebra Nozes', no Teatro da Paz, de 2 a 6 de dezembro, às 16h30 e 20h, e dias 16 e 17 de dezembro, no mesmo horário, com participação da Orquestra Sinfônica do Theatro da Paz.

I View Sydney in White On Black I
Although I find this sort of photography ( infrared ) too messy to do to often I found this one in my archive so quick PP and here we go....sight on Sydney CBD in infrared.
Worst part of doing and PP infrared images it is the reducing high noise in background due long exposure... this image is one of my first IR shots done with Canon 30D....it is winter here in Australia so it is good to see Sydney in White...

Anyway, after therapy had my hair cut. Needed to
spoil myself a little. I Never go to the hairdresser, maybe twice a year. And now I just wanted the splitted ends cut, but the hairdresser said that it would be nice to also dye it and make it more white (now it was from top: Yellow, White, Yellow, White, Whiter because I always dye it myself). I'm very very pleased with it! She made it very straight, which is so much different then I'm used to! But I love it! Hope I can do it like this myself. I feel like a whole different woman. Kinda femme fatale :)

We might have walked together here
Angry, you stayed in the car
You hated to admit it
That you couldn't walk that far
You googled "Diabetes"
So insulin might bring you back
But it was just the alcohol
On the attack
I look back on our years gone by
You were dying by degrees
Peripheral neuralgia
From your toes up to your knees
And you chose to keep on drinking
Not to hear my anxious pleas
Although I sit alone here now
Your body buried deep
I carry you within me
Like a treasure I can keep
When I fill up with sadness
As I do at times each day
There's no despair or desolation
Love will never go away
This song by Eva Cassidy says so much so well. I cannot believe how loved and held I feel by Gilli. She may be gone, but the love in her eyes shines through her picture on my screen with all the power of life itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISipJs6I1w4
Ranked #10 of about 508,000 for peripheral neuralgia.
This morning, seeing my stuff appearing on front page Google I explored further into peripheral neuropathy. It seems alcohol is sometimes used peripherally to tackle the pain. There is also a connection with lupus,which has been investigated around her sister's symptoms. There is clearly a strong family connection here. Her father has had trigeminal neuropathy most of his life. I had it myself briefly.
With Gilly, the peripheral disease may have been alcohol caused but it is very chicken and egg. The disturbance of the central nervous system as in the epilepsy seem much less likely to be caused by the alcohol. In fact, I think it is much more likely that the heavy drinking relates to her attempts to calm her brain, which was always too fast. The effects of alcohol as a CNS are well known.
Dr Blake described Gill as a self destructive person. I just cannot square that with her wonderful work as a teacher and her deep love for me, the boys and people in general.

I recently visited Morro Bay , specifically Morro strait a section of beach that words can barely descibe. Kids, dogs, and coulples just walking along this beach cannot help but be awestruck by the immense size of the rock and the atmosphere it seems to generate. The waves lap along the shore and the sun seems to just hover and play with the outline of the rock. Here is the series of shot I took this day as the sun slowly went down.
a must see for anyone visiting pismo beach or highway 1 on the California coastline. PS the riders of these horses asked me to post this as they said "they have no shots of them riding on this beach" I hope this finds you well.

- A prism of words, for the lucky who reads Neruda in spanish …
Poema El pozo
de Pablo Neruda
A veces te hundes, caes
en tu agujero de silencio,
en tu abismo de cólera orgullosa,
y apenas puedes
volver, aún con jirones
de lo que hallaste
en la profundidad de tu existencia.
Amor mío, qué encuentras
en tu pozo cerrado?
Algas, ciénagas, rocas?
Qué ves con ojos ciegos,
rencorosa y herida?
Mi vida, no hallarás
en el pozo en que caes
lo que yo guardo para ti en la altura:
un ramo de jazmines con rocío,
un beso más profundo que tu abismo.
No me temas, no caigas
en tu rencor de nuevo.
Sacude la palabra mía que vino a herirte
y déjala que vuele por la ventana abierta.
Ella volverá a herirme
sin que tú la dirijas
puesto que fue cargada con un instante duro
y ese instante será desarmado en mi pecho.
Sonríeme radiosa
si mi boca te hiere.
No soy un pastor dulce
como en los cuentos de hadas,
sino un buen leñador que comparte contigo
tierra, viento y espinas de los montes.
Ámame tú, sonríeme,
ayúdame a ser bueno.
No te hieras en mí, que será inútil,
no me hieras a mi porque te hieres.

This is actually my Aunt and Uncle's back yard. I took the image on a trip
to Oregon. Nearly all of Western Oregon is forested except where they have
logged. Log cabin homes sit amongst the trees and the green grass. It
would be heaven if not for all the rain. Oregon is quite wet compared to my
home state of California. Typically the underbrush in this area would be
so dense you could not walk through it but my aunt had the land cleared and
the meadow grass grew in naturally. You can still see the dense blackberry shrubs in theback. Blackberry plants have taken over much of Oregon and you find them
growing throughout the state. I think I hear that the plant was not native
and the state was under efforts to reduce the amount of wild blackberries.
Visit in the fall and you will have all you could possibly eat. If you are
from or plan to pass though California, plan on having them confiscated at
the state border unless you have them canned.

The church was built on the site, around the year 600AD the present church is mostly of around 1500, but there are said to be signs of a much earlier, perhaps 8th century building here. Dendrochronological dating suggests a felling date of 1502-1530 for the roof timbers.
wall paintings that can be seen today, are post- mediaeval.Most impressive is the "memento mori", the figure of Death, on the west wall, rediscovered in 2003. It shows a traditional skeletal figure holding a scythe and standing over a grave in which a skull and bones can be seen. It was probably painted in the 16th or 17th century. the upper portion was cut away, presumably when a gallery was built against the west wall.
a very rare survival is the wooden double horse- bier . these were used in the mountainous regions of Wales and Scotland, for the easier transportation of the dead from remote farms , for burial. this one continued in use here into the 20th century.(dates back to the seventeen hundreds)
In the period from 1618 , over 2500 burials are recorded in the small patch of ground. today there are 270 gravestones . only a few burials took place after 1842.the oldest surviving legible stone is marked "KO1696 "
Abram Wood, the gypsy king, was buried here in 1799.
the church stands on a cliff, some 1300 feet above the sea, at the foot of Cefn Bodgadfan overlooking Cardigan Bay.
today the church has one service per month.

I've been running, trying to be one who sees
I've been working, this salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
We are redeemed
I'm believing, trusting in creative hands,
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
To take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go
When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
Fall to my knees

In the poorer neighborhoods of Baltimore, one of the weapons of choice for self-defense is the box cutter. It will do damage, but not too much damage; it is cheap and easily hidden in the palm of the hand; and it won't get you locked up on a concealed deadly weapon charge if you get hassled by the police.
An ex-Baltimore Police officer used to rent a furnished apartment on my block a number of years ago. He left the police on disability retirement after his liver or kidneys stopped working properly (I can't remember which). When he was police, he worked the overnight shift, slept in his car, and always made a point of locking up some hapless smokehound or junkie on bullshit charges right before his shift ended so that he could collect court overtime the next morning.
He used to walk up to the the 7-11 on Orleans Street and Patterson Park Avenue every night after midnight to buy smokes. One time, a teenager tried to rob him, and he slashed the kid's face pretty badly with a box cutter. He was laughing when he told the story. I doubt the kid ever reported the incident to the police – a stuck stick-up artist isn't going to get much sympathy from the cops.
Eventually, my neighbor developed a bit of a heroin problem and was evicted – all of his stuff thrown out on the sidewalk, the whole drama.
We found this wonderful and mystic location at the last day of our vacation. It is located at the shore of Los Hervideros, where the lava of the Timanfaya eruption flew into the ocean. The picture was taken at low tide, so you can see both, the rounded pepples and rocks in the foreground and the sharp-edged lava in the background.
It was hard for us to say goodbye to Lanzarote at this place, on the other hand it is a great incentive to come back again.
I wanted to title this picture in spanish and hope it's passably okay :-)

To be serious, one of my top-ten super hero movies is definitely Big Hero 6. It has a great storyline despite that it's made for kids. Furthermore the animations are really well done and the emotions of the characters are captured perfectly. In addition all the scenes in the movie are filled with a lot of nice details.
The fact that they used a Fall out Boy song makes everything even better!
I especially liked how they designed Hiro's Workshop. It's full of stuff.
Now with a SuperHero competition on Imperium der Steine I had the chance to build it in Lego.
If you want to see more details or how dusty my bricks are, look at the picture in high resolution
Peratallada que ha sido declarada conjunto histórico artístico, es uno de los núcleos más importantes del Ampurdán en cuanto a arquitectura medieval se refiere. De un extraordinario atractivo y belleza, conserva su antiguo aspecto feudal, donde hay que destacarn el castillo fortificado con su torre del homenaje y el palacio (s. XI-XIV), las murallas (s. XII-XIII) y la iglesia de San Esteban (románica, de principios del s. XII ). Llama la atención el gran foso que rodea a esta localidad, excavado en la roca viva. De aquí procede el nombre de la Villa: Piedra Tallada.
La villa conserva la misma distribución urbana medieval: desde la Plaza Mayor, con sus singulares porches, hasta la trama de estrechas callejuelas, donde descubriremos un interesante conjunto de arquitectura popular.

I took this photo during my 5-day backpacking trip in High Sierra: from Onion Valley to Rae Lakes.
My team of 8 hiked about 40 miles, including going through tough Glen Pass 11798 ft (3596 m) and Kearsarge Pass 11760 ft (3550 m)
This was taken at evening before spending very first night near Matlock Lake. I walked around lake at evening - and took a number of macro shots with frogs and flowers. And I took this beautiful sunset photos of near-by Flower Lake.The whole trip was amazing, opening my eyes at beauty of high mountains filled with dozens and dozens of alpine lakes...It was not easy to carry a 40-pound backpack and climb high elevation passes while the air is so thin, but it was worh the effort and I surely will return here again
