A biologist met with us to discuss the problems with nonindigenous zebra mussels, which breed faster than rabbits, get easily transported from one body of water to another and are not scary looking enough for people to take it seriously. Glen Canyon's been lucky since he has been vigilant, asking boaters if they've come from infested resevoirs and then quarantining, flushing the entire engine and ballast tanks with really hot water if they have been. The larvae are tiny and float around in unflushed water, then spread into bodies of water. They breed like crazy and don't have many natural predators here.
Lake Mead was not so lucky, nor have most other resevoirs. It seems inevitable that Powell will eventually be infested too, but they are trying their damndest to not let it happen. When these things take over a lake, they coat surfaces with layers and layers of shells so that removal is very difficult. I think some places have started incentivizing random scuba divers who want to do a little removal on their own. There are stories where a clean boat enters Mead and five days later, when the owners pull the boat out of the water, the entire bottom is coated with mussels, which then are impossible to remove without really damaging the boat. They're especially a problem for dams since they like relatively smooth and hard surfaces, and so they attach to the dam and end up clogging the intake valves.
Talk about issues under the surface. I'm sure there's plenty of literature on the subject by now if you're curious.
This is weird posting Southwest photos from China. (Turns out Wordpress blogs are also accessible if you've installed them on your own domain.) Film lag, I guess. I really didn't want to bring the digital though.

View Turning Torso Big On Black
Turning Torso is a 54 storage high apartment building. This is the highest in West Europe with 190,4 meters.
HSB Turning Torso is a skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait.[1] It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories.[2] Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia,[1] the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-metre (866 ft) high Triumph-Palace in Moscow. A similar, taller skyscraper featuring a 90° twist is the Infinity Tower, currently under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Prior to the construction of Turning Torso, the 86-metre (282 ft) high Kronprinsen had been the city's tallest building.
Turning Torso Reflection Västra Hamnen Malmö [?]
Turning Torso är en skyskrapa vid Lilla Varvsgatan i Västra Hamnen, Malmö. Byggnaden är ritad och konstruerad av arkitekten Santiago Calatrava och ägs av HSB. Turning Torso är Sveriges högsta hus.
I den första detaljplanen som gjordes för Bo01 1999 fanns ett 25-våningshus inritat på platsen för Turning Torso (med HSB som möjlig byggherre). Ledningen för mässbolaget som arrangerade Bo01 hade i detta skede kontakter med Santiago Calatrava för att denne skulle gestalta en tillfällig informationspaviljong inför mässan. Diskussioner började då föras om Calatrava skulle rita detta höghus. En skulptur som Calatrava gjort diskuterades som förebild. Uppgiften på HSB:s hemsida om Turning Torso att det var den tidigare VD:n Johnny Öhrbäck som först skulle ha kontaktat Calatrava är felaktig [1]. När Calatrava engagerade sig i uppgiften kom tornet att successivt bli högre och högre och detaljplanen fick göras om.

i feel bad for complaining about my low stream traffic cause its spiked way back up
i also passed my behind the wheel coarse yesterday!
i'm posting this one despite hannah and evelynn's choices
which are in comments
i chose the main one because i think that the water is more interesting
This is Pol, aka..Goliath !...He is a giant of a man, while i was sat on a bench having an in depth chat about life, and his role in it , when i suddenly realized that i knew him many years ago.
Back in his heyday he was a bouncer on the doors of many an establishment i frequented..many Bristol locals would remember him from the Thekla, late eighties early nineties, as the dominating figure on the door.
He then went on to explain that he was also head of security at many famous Festivals like Glastonbury,Reading, Leeds etc etc...But !, because of the nature of clubs and festivals he ended up an alcoholic, drinking maybe thirty cans of strong larger a day !.
so much of his time is spent sitting around on streets drinking allday.. however he does have a house, and a big house in the most sortafter part of Bristol, yet he spends most of his time on the streets.
during our conversation he mentioned that he had enough of life atleast three times, this had me worried..so i said i would pass by and sit with him for a chat xmas eve.
I know i was fueling his addiction but i bought him a couple of beers to say thanks for the photos, this put a beaming smile on his face, RESPECT he said !
as i was leaving he called me back, he offered to repay my gift of beer with some old photography books he had.. i didn't want to take his books but i saw it as a chance to see him more over the lonely xmas period, if only to make sure he is well and happy..
he is the most gental of giants with an honest heart, and most of all he is my new friend. merry xmas all

# 4 - Amo viaggiare, scoprire, giocare, assaporare i silenzi di un luogo e soffermarmi a riflettere tra le mie elucubrazioni mentali.
# 5 - Non amo correre per sport, l’ho fatto per troppi anni, ma la mia giornata è una corsa frenetica che comincia alle 4.30 della mattina, lavoro in albergo! in compenso, amo immensamente la mountain bike, la moto e camminare; adoro la competizione ma nel pieno rispetto della correttezza.
# 6 - Amo la gente...le differenze...il movimento e l'energia delle cose, i colori, le linee.. la luce e la natura! Adoro l’acqua, il sole, la luna e il mare in tutte le stagioni.. questa estate ho potuto ritrovare il mio spirito di pesce :-)
# 7 - Odio i silenzi imposti, i tradimenti , l'indifferenza, la polemica, le invidie e il parlare alle spalle, essere triste, odio piangere e lo stato d’animo che si vive in quei momenti, odio e soffro non poter coinvolgere chi ho vicino per chiedere un aiuto. Sono sincera e schietta.... a volte una verità può far male ma due possono aiutare a migliorarsi.
# 8 - Amo immensamente la fotografia, vivo pienamente i miei scatti! grazie alla fotografia ho scoperto me stessa e moltissimi amici con cui condividere questa passione... colgo l'occasione per ringraziare tutti.... col cuore in mano! ho scoperto di avere amici in tutto il mondo.... ed è bellissimo!

#10 - Sono perdutamente innamorata della vita e non solo… anche se questo genere di passioni mi ha sempre obbligata a rimettermi in discussione o semplicemente sciogliermi per un incontro inaspettato!!! vorrei poter far battere nuovamente il mio cuore.... non è facile, è più facile perdersi che ritrovarsi in due. Ma, se sorrido io, presto sorriderà anche il mio cuore... non ho fretta, nel frattempo assaporo il mondo intorno a me.
a grande richiesta aggiungo che sono puntigliosa, fin troppo precisina (specialmente sul lavoro), a volte parlo troppo, per alcune cose sono drastica per altre lascio correre quando magari sarebbe meglio gestire in modo determinato la situazione, ho il difetto di perdonare e questo non me lo perdonerò mai!
sono un libro aperto....... se ho qualcosa che non va riuscite a capirlo da soli, se sono felice sorride anche la mia pelle!
buona luce a tutti... e grazie ;-)
El monasterio benedictino de Ripoll fue fundado por el conde Guifré el Pilós en el año 879. El 20 de abril del año 888 el monasterio de Ripoll fue solemnemente consagrado y dedicado a Santa María.
La creciente importancia del monasterio de Ripoll como centro cultural, con biblioteca,scriptorium y escuela monástica medieval, motivó sucesivas ampliaciones del edificio, siendo la efectuada por el abad Oliba (1008-1046) la que conformaría sus formas definitivas : 60 por 40 metros en un edificio petreo de formas austeras y macizas, de cinco naves, con un cuerpo de edificio delantero encima del cual se levantaron dos torres de campanarios y en la parte posterior un grandioso transepto coronado por un ábside central y tres absidiolos a cada lado.
El templo ha sufrido diversas restauraciones. En especial la realizada tras el terremoto de 1428 y la de 1830 que redujo a tres las cinco naves originales.Las dimensiones de la nave principal son las originales : 60 m. de largo por 9 de ancho. En el crucero y en los muros de la nave central se hallan las tumbas de muchos delos condes de Besalú y Barcelona como Guifré el Pelós, Ramon Berenguer III y IV.
La obra principal del monasterio y de la escultura románica de Catalunya, es la portada del siglo XII. Se divide en siete franjas horizontales donde se representan escenas bíblicas, históricas y alegóricas. La rica iconografía combina los grupos temáticos entre motivos florales de gran exuberancia y ornamentaciones de líneas geométricas, sin ningún lugar en que el cincel no se haya dejado sentir.A ambos lados del portal están las imágenes mutiladas de San Pedro y San Pablo.
El claustro del templo consta de dos pisos. Fué iniciado en siglo XII, quedando paralizada la construcción hasta fines del siglo XIV. La galería superior quedó completada en el siglo XVI. Tiene forma trapezoidal y consta de 112 arcos semicirculares y 252 columnas de capiteles esculpidos con motivos religiosos, mitológicos y populares.

Hello Flickr!
Last weekend Scott and I went to our familiar haunt of Pacific Grove/Monterey to celebrate my birthday a couple of weeks early (there was a sale at our favorite b&b!). It was a gorgeous weekend and very relaxing for us both.
Plus, Scott COMPLETELY SHOCKED ME by surprising me with a 50mm f/1.4! He put it on my camera while I was out of the room and it took me over 12 hours to notice it. He was playing a game of chess with himself at one point and I felt compelled to shoot his hand with some of the chess pieces. Upon trying to use the focus ring on what I thought was my 50mm f/1.8 (I've broken two of those this year, btw--and that one was my third), I became utterly confused. Why did this lens feel, look and act differently than I remembered? I then conducted a thorough inspection of the lens, slowly realizing that no I was not dreaming -- it actually WAS a 1.4! :D
I love Scott and his kindness, generosity and ability to surprise me ♥ My birthday isn't until a week from tomorrow, either!
This is a fleshy perennial which grows on coastal cliffs and rocks ! The pale pink 5-petalled flower (8 - 12mm across) differs from other Sea spurreys in that it doesn't have a white centre ! The fact that the flowers have equal size petals and sepals also helps to differentiate this wildflower ! Each flower has 10 stamens, the narrow, flattened leaves have fine points and the plant, which blooms from June to September, reaches about 20cm high ! It is one of the native plants of Ireland and it belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family !
www.wildflowersofireland.net/index.php
Having purchased a wild flower book late last year, I was attracted to it being sectioned by colour, I decided to give it a go and found this little gem ! As part of I.D. clarification I found an interesting site from which I took the above info' and have E-mailed, providing my flickr account link, hoping that I' m right ~

Today was the worst weather of the winter, and we were walking into the wind and it was COLD. My little Californian cried a little into her 17 layers!
But then we went to replace my holey boots and found some sexy pink-trimmed combats. It's totally cool to match the person you're hopping on.....right? (You can't really tell how awesome our boots are in my shots, but Xelia's shot really shows their glory).
We finally set aside the time to do official photo shoots. The problem was that I like our shots too much. It took me Hours to choose which shot to use!

El despoblat de Santa Creu de Rodes es troba situat prop del monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes, al municipi de Port de la Selva (Alt Empordà). Es tracta d'un nucli de població abandonat i que es troba en ruïna. D'aquest lloc es tenen notícies gràcies a la seva església parroquial de Santa Helena de Rodes, de la que es tenen notícies des del 974. El pogressiu abandó degué començar degut al greu episodi de pesta negra que es va patir el 1345 i que també va afectar el monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes. Tradicionalment s'admet que ja al segle XIII va patir un important despoblament arran de la participació d'una bona part de la població en la conquesta de Mallorca, s'hi van quedar. El 1572 l'església de Santa Creu de Rodes (que ja en aquella època havia canviat el com pel de Santa Helena) va perdre la condició de parroquial, el que indica que el lloc havia d'estar pràcticament deshabitat. A més de la coneguda església de Santa Creu de Rodes, que és l'únic edifici que es conserva en relatiu bon estat, l'interès del lloc rau en el fet que era tancat per un mur, del que encara es conserven alguns vestigis, sobretot pel que fa a dos portals: el de tramuntana i el de migdia. La resta de construccions es limita a murs de pedra entre la vegetació.
El despoblado de Santa Cruz de Rodas se encuentra situado cerca del monasterio de Sant Pere de Rodes, en el municipio de Port de la Selva (Alt Empordà). Se trata de un núcleo de población abandonado y que se encuentra en ruina. De este lugar se tienen noticias gracias a su iglesia parroquial de Santa Helena de Rodes, de la que se tienen noticias desde el 974. El pogressiu abandono debió comenzar debido al grave episodio de peste negra que se sufrió en 1345 y que también afectó al monasterio de Sant Pere de Rodes. Tradicionalmente se admite que ya en el siglo XIII sufrió un importante despoblamiento raíz de la participación de una buena parte de la población en la conquista de Mallorca, se quedaron. En 1572 la iglesia de Santa Creu de Rodes (que ya en aquella época había cambiado como por el de Santa Elena) perdió la condición de parroquial, lo que indica que el lugar debía estar prácticamente deshabitado. Además de la conocida iglesia de Santa Creu de Rodes, que es el único edificio que se conserva en relativo buen estado, el interés del lugar radica en que estaba cerrado por un muro, del que aún se conservan algunos vestigios, sobre todo en dos portales: el de tramontana y el de mediodía. El resto de construcciones se limita a muros de piedra entre la vegetación.
The deserted Santa Cruz de Wheels is located near the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes in the municipality of Puerto de la Selva (Alt Empordà). This is a core population that is abandoned and in ruins. On this site you will have news thanks to his parish church of St. Helen Rhodes, from which 974 are from the news. The start was probably due to neglect pogressiu severe episode of Black Death that was implemented in 1345 and also affected the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. Traditionally supported already in the thirteenth century it suffered a major depopulation following the participation of a large proportion of the population in the conquest of Majorca, they were. In 1572 the church of Santa Croce in Rhodes (already at that time had changed as the Santa Helena) lost its parish status, which indicates that the site had to be practically deserted. In addition to the famous church of Santa Croce in Rhodes, which is the only building that remains in relatively good condition, the interest of the site lies in the fact that it was enclosed by walls, which still kept some traces, particularly with regard to two sites: the north wind and midday. The remaining buildings are limited to stone walls between the vegetation.

El Arco de la Sangre, construido en el siglo X en la dominación árabe, era probablemente el único espacio abierto que existía en la muralla interior en esta época islámica, la cual se extendía desde el Alcázar en bajada hacia la plaza de Zocodover, rodeando la ciudad hasta terminar otra vez en el Alcázar.
La puerta está formada por un arco de herradura, único vestigio de época árabe que se conserva en la plaza después de 1936. Sobre el arco hay un oratorio que data de esta época musulmana y que se ha mantenido cristianizado, desde el siglo XII.
Su inquietante nombre actual se debe a que este oratorio, convertido en capilla era sede de la cofradía de la Preciosa Sangre de Cristo, fundada en tiempos de Sancho III, que atendía a los que iban a ser ajusticiados.
Por orden de Enrique IV de Castilla, desde el siglo XV en esta capilla se celebraba misa para que pudiesen oírla los vendedores de productos en el “Martes”, mercado que instauró el mismo monarca.
En época de la II República se podía ver sobre el arco la inscripción “Plaza de la Constitución” que durante unos años sustituyó al nombre oficial de Plaza de Zocodover. En 1936 el Arco de la Sangre se convirtió en uno de los héroes arquitectónicos de la Guerra Civil española al resistir en pie milagrosamente rodeado de un mar de destrucción, siendo restaurado en 1945.
Actualmente, la puerta da acceso a la Plaza de Zocodover desde la calle de Miguel de Cervantes. En el año 2005, coincidiendo con el IV centenario de la publicación de El Quijote, se instaló en este lugar una estatua del universal escritor, obra de Óscar Alvariño Belinchón.
El petit municipi de l'Estany, situat al nord-oest del Bages i en ple altiplà del Moianès, ocupa un indret frescal que es caracteritza per la seva alçada i per una pluviositat més gran que la resta de la comarca. A la població, situada a 870 m., s'hi accedeix sobretot per la carretera que s'enfila cap al nord de Moià. Després d'una àrea de grans pagesies disperses entre boscos i conreus, molt aviat s'entra en un pla ben aprofitat on destaca la població de l'Estany. El nucli de l'Estany, arrecerat al nord per un serrat, s'alça a la vora d'on hi havia un antic estany, dessecat l'any 1570 per ordre de l'abat Carles de Cardona per tal d'escórrer les aigües i evitar així els focus d'epidèmies que comportava. L'estany encara es torna a omplir en època de grans pluges. Les cases són de pedra i constitueixen un bon exemple de poble rural, gairebé muntanyenc. Els visitants van a l'Estany atrets pel seu bon clima i per l'extraordinari monestir romànic de Santa Maria, amb la seva església restaurada, un claustre magnífic amb 72 capitells de temes bíblics, heràldics i florístics, i un petit museu annex on es resumeix la història del cenobi. Altres indrets destacables del municipi són el Puig Rodó i el Puig de la Caritat, i la diversitat de fonts naturals que hi ha. Les festes i tradicions més notables són la Festa Major (8 de setembre), la Fira (8 de desembre) i el Pessebre Vivent.
El pequeño municipio de l'Estany, situado al noroeste del Bages y en pleno altiplano del Moianès, ocupa un lugar fresco que se caracteriza por su altura y por una pluviosidad mayor que el resto de la comarca. En la población, situada a 870 m., se accede sobre todo por la carretera que sube hacia el norte de Moià. Después de un área de grandes campesinas dispersas entre bosques y cultivos, muy pronto se entra en un plan bien aprovechado donde destaca la población de l'Estany. El núcleo de l'Estany, protegido al norte por una loma, se alza a orillas de donde había un antiguo lago, desecado en 1570 por orden del abad Carles de Cardona para escurrir las aguas y evitar así los focos de epidemias que comportaba. El lago aún se vuelve a llenar en época de grandes lluvias. Las casas son de piedra y constituyen un buen ejemplo de pueblo rural, casi montañoso. Los visitantes al Lago atraídos por su buen clima y por el extraordinario monasterio románico de Santa María, con su iglesia restaurada, un claustro magnífico con 72 capiteles de temas bíblicos, heráldicos y florísticos, y un pequeño museo anexo donde se resume la historia del cenobio. Otros lugares destacables del municipio son el Puig Rodó y el Puig de la Caridad, y la diversidad de fuentes naturales que hay. Las fiestas y tradiciones más notables son la Fiesta Mayor (8 de septiembre), la Feria (8 de diciembre) y el Pesebre Viviente.
The small town of Lake, located northwest of Bages and full Moianès plateau, occupies a cool place that is characterized by its height and a higher rainfall than the rest of the region. In the town, located 870 m above is accessed by the road that climbs north of Moia. After a large area of scattered peasant between forests and crops, soon entered into a plan which highlights the best advantage of the lake population. The core of the lake, sheltered on the north by a serrated stands at the edge where there was an ancient lake dried up in 1570 by order of Abbot Charles Cardona to drain water and prevent outbreaks of epidemics entailed. The lake is still refills at times of heavy rainfall. The houses are stone and are a good example of rural village, almost mountainous. The visitors were attracted to the lake for its good climate and the extraordinary Romanesque monastery of Santa Maria, with its restored church, a magnificent cloister with 72 capitals of biblical themes, floristic and arms, and a small museum in which there are summarizes the history of the monastery. Other notable places are the town's Round Puig and Puig de la Caridad, and diversity of natural resources there.

La Mare de Déu del Lledó és la Patrona de Castelló de la Plana.
El nom Lledó prové de la traducció al valencià del nom almez, que és l'arbre sota el qual es va trobar la petita figura que avui és venerada com a Mare de Déu del Lledó.
Segons la llegenda, un agricultor, anomenat Perot de Granyana, va trobar la imatge mentre llaurava les seves terres. Perot duia l'arada conduïda per dos bous que, a l'acostar-se a l'arbre, van deixar de llaurar i es postraren sota aquest. Perot no va fer cas dels bous i els va aixecar, però estos van tornar a postrar-se davant l'arbre. Perot, estranyat, es va posar a buscar els motius, va furgar i va trobar una petita figureta de la Mare de Déu.
Perot va dur la figura a la ciutat per a ensenyar-la a les autoritats. Però com era ja tard, la figura hauria de passar la nit a casa de Perot. Al matí, quan aquest anava a ensenyar la imatge a les autoritats, es va trobar amb que la figura no es trobava en la seva casa. Va anar a buscar-la a l'hort, i la va trobar en la mateixa posició que la primera vegada. Va insistir i la hi va tornar a dur a la ciutat.
Al matí següent va tornar a desaparèixer. El Consell va prendre per boig a Perot, però el va seguir fins a l'hort. Allí es van trobar la figura envoltada d'àngels. Davant aquest miracle, el Consell Municipal va decidir edificar en el lloc de la troballa una petita ermita gòtica.
ESP:
La Virgen del Lledó (en valenciano Mare de Déu del Lledó, y traducción cercana al castellano como Virgen del Lidón) es la Patrona de Castelló de la Plana.
El nombre Lledó proviene de la traducción al valenciano del nombre almez, que es el árbol bajo el cual se encontró la pequeña figura que hoy es venerada como Virgen del Lledó. El nombre Lidón no es una traducción correcta, pues debería ser Virgen del Almez.
Cuenta la leyenda que un agricultor, llamado Perot de Granyana, encontró la imagen mientras labraba sus tierras.
Perot llevaba el arado conducido por dos bueyes que, al acercarse al árbol, dejaron de labrar y se postraron bajo éste. Perot no hizo caso de los bueyes y los levantó, pero éstos volvieron a postrarse ante el árbol. Perot, extrañado, se puso a buscar los motivos de la parada, escarbó y encontró una pequeña figurilla de la Virgen María.
Perot llevó la figura a la ciudad para enseñarla a las autoridades. Pero como era ya tarde, la figura debería pasar la noche en casa de Perot. Por la mañana, cuando éste iba a enseñar la imagen a las autoridades, se encontró con que la figura no se encontraba en su casa. Fue a buscarla al huerto, y la encontró en la misma posición que la primera vez. Insistió y se la volvió a llevar a la ciudad.
A la mañana siguiente volvió a desaparecer. El Consejo tomó por loco a Perot, pero le siguió hasta el huerto. Allí se encontraron la figura rodeada de ángeles. Ante este milagro, el Consejo Municipal decidió edificar en el lugar de la troballa una pequeña ermita gótica.

pero aún así hallarnos a la mitad de todo,
en las palabras de los que no nos entienden,
y que nunca entenderán... (pobrecitos)
El miedo que tengo a de pronto un día,
ser capaz de hablar sin mentiras. .. - te imaginas???!!! -
A no poder ya construir laberintos,
torres babélicas en las que encerrarte a dormitar.
y guardarte así en mi interior
ya tengo tu barca y tu pasaje
para hacerte vivir allí dentro,
hasta que la muerte nos lleve a ambos..
o almenos, solamente a mí.
܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇
Not to be able to wait
neither want to do it
but even so, find ourselves halfway everything,
in the words of those who don't understand us,
and that will never do... (poor ones)
The fear that I have, that suddenly one day
be able to speak without lies. .. - could you imagine??!!! -
and not to be able to build labyrinths anymore,
babylonyan towers to jail you to doze.
so, keep you this way inside of me
I already have your boat and your ticket
to make you live there inside,
until the death takes both of us..
or at least, just me.

you should view this on black.
it's been so rainy lately. i don't think we're supposed to get sun until monday. ):
on a brighter note, i really like how this turned out! i was planning on doing a rain boot picture, and i took this to test the exposure and ended up getting incredibly lucky. haha, it's so nice to not have to take self portraits.
"A universe comes to contribute to our happiness when reverie comes to accentuate our repose. You must tell the man who wants to dream well to begin by being happy. Then reverie plays out its veritable destiny; it becomes poetic reverie and by it, in it, everything becomes beautiful. If the dreamer had "the gift" he would turn his reverie into a work. And this work would be grandiose since the dreamed world is automatically grandiose." from The Poetics of Reverie by Gaston Bachelard
This one is for GERI aka Born 2 Be Mild. I don't know when and how I stumbled upon Geri's stream but I surely am glad I did. I could never forget her 5-CARROT RING POST. If I recall that was the very first of her photos I commented on. And I knew right there and then that I had to stay connected to this wonderful lady - now a treasured friend - because if there is someone on Flickr who can make me laugh, she certainly can. She may not know it, but it was Geri who inspired me to capture droplets on flowers and leaves. And that is why I am dedicating this droplet, this "dreamed world" to her. I hope she finds it worthy.
I keep on fear, keep on loathing
Nothing brings it on I keep on falling
Decide what it is I can not find
It's subsides what you make it
Never feel like you're gonna break it
It's gonna be alright alright
Sleep until the morning comes
The sun will warm your soul
Sleep until the morning comes for you
Til the morning
it's alright
I can walk into the sunlight, into the day,
I feel it falling, nothing comes to my mind
Bring it on in a different tide
I feel alright, alright
I feel strong, i feel rigid
It's nothing to do with the vision
Oh feels so right, so right
Sleep on tight, sleep on tight
Sleep until the sunlight
Sleep on tight, til the sunlight burns you happy
Til the sunlight burns you happy, till the sunlight burns a happy whole in
Your heart,
In your heart
In your heart...

What:
Part 3 of the Peggy's Cove tour, Finally!!
When:
Just as the sun was setting last Sunday evening. About 5 minutes before the last shot I posted.
Where:
Peggy's Cove
Nova Scotia, Canada
About:
So, continuing from part 2... this was taken from exactly the same spot on the dock in PC but I turned about 45 degrees to right. So if I can manage to stitch these three shots together I shot be able to get over 180 degree view of the cove. I don't really have any shots looking behind where I am here but it certainly isn't as picturesque as these three views. To get another angle or perspective of where I am here, check out this photo from last week where I put a note right on this dock. It was shot from the road down at the end of the cove. You can see the little dory there if you look really close.
Processing:
This was shot with the normal 3 frames bracketed (0,-2,+2ev) and I manually blended the exposures in photoshop so I could get the proper sky combined with the proper foreground exposures. I did a layer of curves and a little tweak of the shadows/highlights. After resizing and posting I can see it's over saturated but what the hell, it's meant to look like a postcard! :-)
Please, no invites or crazy glittery graphics. Just a comment is nice. Thank You

Well, on Saturday I was mostly on Havergate Island in Orford Ness, Suffolk....Where I managed to capture this guy munching away in the early evening sunshine....although to get this shot I had to crawl 200m on my belly with my backpack on my back, to get close enough to get a half decent shot! The hare must have thought I was a giant tortoise lol...either way, he was nonplussed enough to let me get to within 4 feet of him...which was nice.:)
Have a wonderful Monday Ya'll..:)
Hare ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
"Jackrabbit", "Lepus", and "Leveret" For other uses, see Hare (disambiguation), Jackrabbit (disambiguation), Lepus (disambiguation) and Leveret (disambiguation).
Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares are classified into the same family as rabbits and are of similar size, form, and diet as rabbits. They are generally herbivorous, long-eared, and fast runners, and typically live solitarily or in pairs. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia, North America, and the Japanese archipelago.
Five leporid species with "hare" in their common names are not considered true hares: the hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus), and four species known as red rock hares (comprising Pronolagus). Meanwhile, jackrabbits are hares rather than rabbits.
A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. The collective noun for a group of hares is a "drove"
Biology ~ Hares are swift animals: The European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) can run up to 56 km/h (35 mph). The five species of jackrabbit found in central and western North America are able to run at 64 km/h (40 mph), and can leap up to 3m (ten feet) at a time.
Normally a shy animal, the European brown hare changes its behavior in spring, when hares can be seen in daytime chasing one another; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females). During this spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one hare striking another with its paws (probably the origin of the term "mad as a March hare"). For a long time, this had been thought to be intermale competition, but closer observation has revealed it is usually a female hitting a male to prevent copulation.
Differences from rabbits ~ Hares do not bear their young below ground in a burrow as do other leporids, but rather in a shallow depression or flattened nest of grass called a form. Young hares are adapted to the lack of physical protection, relative to that afforded by a burrow, by being born fully furred and with eyes open. They are hence precocial, and are able to fend for themselves soon after birth. By contrast, the related rabbits and cottontail rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless.
All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbits) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares (and cottontail rabbits) live in simple nests above the ground, and usually do not live in groups. Hares are generally larger than rabbits, with longer ears, and have black markings on their fur. Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are kept as house pets. The domestic pet known as the "Belgian hare" is a rabbit that has been selectively bred to resemble a hare.
Hares have jointed, or kinetic, skulls, unique among mammals. They have 48 chromosomes while rabbits have 44.

Last evening/night I finally got the time to go over my Aurora shots from Tuesday... I was up until 0130 in the morning editing some of the shots. When I finally got so tired that I was completely uncritical as to what I was doing, I went to bed.
Anyways, I had a glorious evening shooting Aurora. I have very little experience in doing that, so I was very anxious as to how i would look when I got it over on the computer back home. Got some really great shots. But the best was just standing there, right beneath some of the most vibrant Aurora I've ever seen (and I have lived well above the arctic circle all my life, I've seen a fair share of Auroras).
Hope you all like it and have a GREAT weekend.

Během tří měsíců roku 2026, konkrétně od poloviny června do poloviny září, ožila trať Plzeň – Domažlice – Furth im Wald poměrně rozsáhlou odklonovou nákladní vozbou. Ta byla vyvolána intenzivní výlukovou činností v Německu, zejména na hlavní trati mezi Řeznem a Pasovem, jakož i dalšími vnitrostátními výlukami na německé a rakouské síti. Odklonové vlaky byly po domažlické trati vedeny náležitostmi dopravce ČD Cargo, který z toho důvodu předislokoval do Plzně pět zástupců lokomotivní řady 750. Většina vlaků byla vedena v ranních hodinách z Plzně a okolo poledních hodin zpátečním směrem z Furth im Waldu, což poněkud limitovalo možnosti fotografování. Pravidelnou výjimkou byl v tomto ohledu sobotní pár autovlaků, který vyrážel z Plzně okolo čtvrté hodiny odpolední.
Vlak Nex 47300 na snímku z 1. srpna 2026 směřuje z Kolína do překladiště u francouzského města Onnaing, přičemž z důvodu probíhající celozávodní dovolené veze tentokrát jen prázdné vozy směřující na nakládku opačným směrem. V čele vlaku se předvádějí stroje 750.235 a 213.

Hagia Sophia (from the Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the Greek Patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople of the Western Crusader established Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.[1]
The Church was dedicated to the Logos, the second person of the Holy Trinity,[2] its dedication feast taking place on 25 December, the anniversary of the Birth of the incarnation of the Logos in Christ.[2] Although it is sometimes referred to as Sancta Sophia (as though it were named after Saint Sophia), sophia is the phonetic spelling in Latin of the Greek word for wisdom – the full name in Greek being Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, "Church of the Holy Wisdom of God".[3][4]
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture."[5] It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.[6]
The church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 49 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years. It is the church in which Cardinal Humbert in 1054 excommunicated Michael I Cerularius – which is commonly considered the start of the Great Schism.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque.[7] The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features – such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets – were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque until 1931 when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many other Ottoman mosques, such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque.
WISH YOU A GREAT AND HAPPY DAY MY FRIENDS XOXOXO
@Thanks for your nice friendship,coments and faves.I really like them and they make me happy
When the night shows
the signals grow on radios
All the strange things
they come and go, as early warnings
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
There's no point in direction we cannot
even choose a side.
I took the old track
the hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
they were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain
was warm and soaked the crowd.

new year's eve in athens: the view from pendeli mountain towards ymittos.
as we progress through life, we tend to ignore our surroundings, navigating through life based on prior experience instead of taking in information anew, selectively noticing only that which we have never before encountered. i suppose it's a basic strategy of survival, helping our species endure in an otherwise bewildering environment… at the same time, it is one of our properties that we sometimes need to defy.
imagine that your life is the length of the sidewalk of a city block… at first you're in the beginning of it, then the middle and soon you will be at the end.* how do you make every step worthwhile? i honestly don't know… but suspect i've found some clues.
appreciate immense scale by looking up at the sky and peer down at the smallest beings. get a fresh perspective by finding a spot to gaze across great distances across a city or a landscape or the sea. observe the simplest but wondrous tools that bring an unprecedented quality of life. venture to a new place on the planet and see how things can be confusingly different yet exactly the same. consider the wonders of science, simple and complex, that help you achieve the extraordinary, communicate with people across the globe and discover the profoundest of secrets of the cosmos. have fun!! learn or do something that you've never before attempted. search out heart-wrenching art and writing that moves you to elation and tears. feel compassion for every single human being around you, every fellow traveler in life who is just trying to make sense of it all, each in his or her own way. have a lingering look at your home, family, and friends… cherish them because tomorrow -- and i do mean, literally, tomorrow -- you may not have them anymore.
each of us has arrived in an infinitely exciting universe, against astronomical odds, for a brief moment in infinite time. none of us should waste it... not a single day. there is nothing that is boring -- there is nothing that might not provoke the deepest awe.
a year ago i wondered how i could possibly find 365 interesting things to shoot -- how silly i was. i've revisited the mundane and amplified my perception. i've felt exuberant inspiration and abysmal grief. i'm indebted to family and friends, old and new, who not only put up with my obsession -- but wisely encouraged me.
and all because i decided to pick up a camera.

* "now imagine these two characters, named christine (miranda july) and richard (john hawkes) as they walk down the street. she suggests that the block they are walking down is their lives. and so now they are halfway down the street and halfway through their lives, and before long they will be at the end. it is impossible to suggest how poetic this scene is; when it's over, you think, that was a perfect scene, and no other scene can ever be like it.' - roger egbert, a review of 'me and you and everyone we know'"

Tanah Lot is one of the main temples in Bali located on a rock formation at the west coast of Bali. Its one of the most conservative temples and tourists are not allowed to get near it.
Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah Lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. Fortunately or unfortunately during the lovely sunset it was again interrupted by ominous clouds!!
Dramatic effect in the shot was created by tonemapping single RAW image in Dynamic Photo and finishing touch was provided in Photoshop.
Trivia
Myth says there are still poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to guard the temple and contribute to the temple's dangerous reputation.

Reial Santuari de Nostra Senyora de la Font de la Salut.
La història del Real Santuari va començar amb l'edificació d'una petita capella en 1384. La Font de la Salut, comença a ser coneguda més enllà de les fronteres comarcals. Il·lustres personatges de la història d'Espanya com el papa Alexandre VI, Carles V i Felip II, entre uns altres, amb la seva visita i interès pel santuari, van afavorir que entre els segles XV i XVIII estigués acabat aquest impressionant conjunt. L'ermita té dos accessos amb portades adintelades. Remata l'edifici amb una espadanya de l'antic temple gòtic del 1439. El seu interior és d'una sola nau dividida en quatre trams amb creuer. Arcs de mig punt en la nau i arc triomfal en la capçalera. En la capella major es troba el camarí de la Verge i al capdamunt, als peus, el cor amb barana de fusta del segle XVIII. Entre la seva decoració, sobresurten les pintures al fresc atribuïdes tradicionalment als Guilló, encara que la historiografia moderna ha revelat que no són obra d'aquests artistes. El seu estil és de caràcter figuratiu-alegòric quan tracta els personatges bíblics, i un to més narratiu, en les escenes de la Verge de la Font de la Salut. Són també importants, les yeseries daurades amb motius de rocalla, així com les restes d'un fris de sòcols de Manises.
Segons compte la tradició, en el segle XIV, va tenir lloc l'aparició a dos pastors d'una imatge mariana, dintre de la deu d'aigües curatives que allí es troba. Des de llavors, els romers de nombrosos municipis de l'entorn, recorren tots els anys aquest camí, jalonat per set creus de terme que simbolitzen els Set Dolors de la Verge.

L'església documentada l'any 981 amb funcions parroquials, era dins del terme del castell de Savassona. L'edifici actual data del 1070. l'any 1078, Berenguer Sunifred de Lluçà, bisbe de Vic, la va infeudar a Ramon Folc, vescomte de Cardona. Va tenir com a sufragània l'església del monestir de Sant Pere de Casserres. L'edifici va ser modificat durant els ss. XVII i XVIII, obrint-hi dues capelles laterals, canviant el portal de lloc, fent-hi un portal nou i sobrealçant la teulada. Una restauració feta els anys seixanta per la Diputació de Barcelona va suprimir aquestes reformes deixant només les capelles laterals.

The third round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks asked for some 'volume'.
Sure, volume is sound or an amount of space, but being the bookworm that I used to be, I immediately had to think of the numerous volumes that I had binge-read over the years. And so this week's MOC is a little love letter to the written word, and the imaginary worlds that those can conjure.
The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 100 bricks.
Five more rounds to go, we barely started! Feel free to join in on the fun!
Sant Romà de Sau és una entitat de població del municipi de Vilanova de Sau a la comarca d'Osona. Els seus orígens situen a la població de Sau en el 917 i, l'església parroquial, al segle XI. L'actual població es va formar quan al 1962 en va construir l'embassament de Sau que havia de cobrir l'antic poblat. Tot i estar força despoblat (ja al nomenclàtor de 1860 la parròquia figurava com "deshabitada"), comptava amb unes quantes masies, un pont romànic i una bonica església que reapareix en èpoques de sequera.

The current population was formed in 1962 when it was built in the Sau reservoir had filled the old town. Despite being quite deserted (since the 1860 Gazetteer of the parish listed as "uninhabited"), had a few farmhouses, a bridge and a beautiful Romanesque church, which reappears in times of drought.

Impressive, atmospheric, just a little frightening, the long black and red hooded and robed figures of the Procession de la Sanch march slowly through the streets of Perpignan to the solemn beat of black veiled tambourines The Procession de la Sanch, which takes place every ’Vendredi Saint’, (Good Friday), opens the celebration of the Easter Holy week.
The brotherhood of “La Sanch” (the blood) was founded in1416 by Vincent Ferrier at the church of St Jaques in Perpignan, its origin to assist and accompany the condemned to their execution. A preacher, Ferrier is said to have undergone a life changing experience in 1398 when he nearly died of the fever, but was miraculously cured after Christ appeared to him in an apparition. He attracted followers, penitents from all walks of life, who he led around Europe, preaching penance and helping sinners to prepare for judgment and punishment. The wearing of the black and red hooded robes (orcaparutxe) was to prevent criminals being recognized and ‘lynched’ in the streets as pay back for crimes committed, and prisoners, penitents, (there to give solace to the person about to die), and executioner were hooded for maximum confusion.
The procession as a whole commemorates the Passion and the Agony of Christ. At the head of the parade walks a red robed figure “le regidor”, warning the crowds of the procession’s approach. by intermittently ringing an iron bell as he leads the penitents to the gallows. They carry ‘misteris’ (full-size representations of the different scenes of the Passion) through the streets of Perpignan. Of course, over the years the Sanch has become a great crowd puller and a fabulous photo opportunity but for the ‘penitents’ carrying crosses, crucifixes and religious statues weighing up to thirty to fifty kilos, this re- enactment of Christ’s Passion is real enough. The procession takes place in silence – some walk bare-foot, others are on their knees…... only the sound of the tambourine, and the occasional peal of the bell breaks the eerie atmosphere, along with the Goigs, traditional Easter songs which accompany the march.
Over the centuries the Sanch has been forbidden several times. It has always survived.
