Well you pass around the pipe and you all get high
Never even stop and wonder why
Maybe it’s because you wanna die
Maybe it’s just the way things have to be
You stay up late and drink too damn much whiskey
You know that sort of thing is kind of risky
Maybe it’s just because you like to feel frisky
Maybe it’s just because you like to feel free
Saddle Tramp
How many people watch you ridin’ by
Like a thunder cloud that floats
Across the Arizona sky
And wonder if they’re looking
At a mighty happy man
Or just a lonely breeze that drifts
Across the endless desert sand
Well it’s gettin’ kinda cold in Ruidoso
Abilene ain’t gettin’ any closer
One more drink, one more hand of poker
‘Cause a fool and his money’s
Gonna have to part
You’re too proud to ever show your sorrow
You don’t steal and you won’t beg or borrow
You may be here today but you’re gone tomorrow
There ain’t no strings on your boot heels
Or your heart
Saddle Tramp
How many people watch you ride away
Wonder why you never promise
To come back some day
Maybe thinking you were holding
All the pieces in your hand
Or are they slippin’ through your fingers
Like the endless desert sand
I saw these two during my afternoon in millenium park...The one on the left is the same person in the destiny photo further down in my photostream...I asked them if i could take their picture and they didn't speak a bit of english...In return they asked me to take their pic as well...So, it was a cool opportunity and shot with some interesting guys in which we had no common language other than our cameras...That was an epic afternoon, everyone was out and in a good mood. It was the essence of Chicago and everything we love about it. I hope I did these two justice...
btw, I found it this one made it into the flickr explore set of photos...thx all for looking this is the first one I have had make it into the flickr explore set...
We all know that Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives genetically. They look like us, behave like us, raise families like us and even laugh like us! However I had never thought I would get to see them relax like us. We saw this endearing family at the Chimpanzee sanctuary at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and it was probably one of the most fascinating hours I have ever spent. We saw them playing with each other, picking lice, inspecting each other nether regions and whacking the younger ones when they fell out of line. And when it all became too much, the elders literally just put their feet up. I mean who doesn’t want to do that from time to time hey?
You know what’s my favourite part of this photograph? It’s the soft multi-stroke multi-colour background. I know it is a gigantic leap of faith, but it reminds me of the kind of strokes Van Gogh used for his pictures. They were all distinct, sharp, yet part of a consolidated whole. I can’t pretend that was my idea when I took the photograph, it was very much an accident, but I did darken the image significantly to draw out the colours. Such accidents delight me to no ends, even though they might not be a big deal to anybody else. Does it happen to you too?!
And on a lighter not happy weekend Guys! Time to put your feet up!

Another from Holloween day when Skylar and I picked up a couple beautiful action figures and then took them to Mitchell Canyon and hiked all over looking for good light in which to set them up and take photos.
It was a real collaborative effort ... he would scout the locations and set them up, and do things like pull blades of grass or move branches or change their positions, while I snapped away. What a wonderful way to spend Halloween together!
We had a magical time, and got quite a few magical pictures as well! Almost worth the terrible case of poison oak I got from laying on the ground in so many iffy locations.

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
do you feel my heart beating, do you understand
do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
is this burning an eternal flame.
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
or is this burning an eternal flame.
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
a whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling.
Close your eyes, give me your hand
do you feel my heart beating, do you understand
do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
is this burning an eternal flame ...

The American Falls to me look best in the late afternoon. I took this photo standing in Niagara Falls Ontario looking across the Niagara River to the American Falls, Niagara Falls, New York.
"The "young" American Niagara Falls (about 600 years old) from over the US side of
the Niagara Gorge, and is 70 feet high (23 meters) and 1,000 feet wide (330 meters).
With only 10% of the water volume flowing from a small tributary of the Niagara River, massive rock debris 100 feet high, continues to build directly below, the American Niagara Falls."

New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.[6] The city is referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. A global power city,[7] New York exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. The home of the United Nations Headquarters,[8] New York is an important center for international diplomacy[9] and has been described as the cultural capital of the world.[10][11]
On one of the world's largest natural harbors,[12] New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a county of New York State.[13] The five boroughs—the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898.[14] With a census-estimated 2013 population of 8,405,837[4] distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2),[15] New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States.[16] As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York,[17][18] making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.[19] By 2013 census estimates, the New York Metropolitan Area's population remains by a significant margin the United States' largest Metropolitan Statistical Area, with approximately 19.9 million people,[20] and is also part of the most populous Combined Statistical Area in the United States, containing an estimated 23.4 million people.
Rupit, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Rupit and Pruit (in Catalan Rupit i Pruit) are a municipality of the region of Osona located to the northeast of the region and the east of the Sierra de Cabrera. It is integrated by two urban nuclei: Rupit and Pruit, that they were independent until year 1980. It is the last town of the province of Barcelona in the highway that unites the municipalities of Vic, capital of the region of Osona and Olot, capital of the region of the Garrotxa (Girona).
The origin of the town we found in the castle that was constructed around year 1000, replacing the one of Fàbregues, where they went constructing houses around.
In 14th century the population underwent a reduction but it recovered, arriving in 17th and 18th centuries at the maximum splendor that has never had the town. The church was possibly built between 13th and 14th centuries, and it was dedicated to San Miguel Arcángel.
Pruit already names in year 955, when it belonged to viscounts of Osona. Always there is been united to the castle and jurisdiction of Rupit.

La iglesia de Sant Joan de Fàbregues y su castillo están documentados desde el año 968. Hacia el siglo XII surgió el pueblo de Rupit habitado por familias nobles. En 1878, la iglesia de Rupit dejó de depender de Sant Joan de Fàbregues y en 1959 el municipio pasó a llamarse Rupit. En 1977 se unieron los municipios de Rupit y Pruit.

Part III of the Void series.
Shot with a telephoto lens with a wide aperture at dusk at the Oosterscheldekering.
It is the largest of the 13 ambitious Delta works series of dams, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding. The construction of the Delta Works was in response to the North_Sea_Flood_of_1953 during which 1,835 people were killed in the Netherlands.
I can tell you there was a hard wind and high tide when I took this shot. Huge waves wetting my camera gear and there was a strange atmosphere out there. Something eery about that place where the sea unveiled its majestic power to me.

Roccella Valdemone is found in the province in Messina, exactly to the feet of the point of Castelluzzo and to 810 meters on the level of the sea.
Its other geographical coordinates to be remembered are first of all the proximity with the Regional Park of the Nebrodis and that of the Etna, whose outline dominates the landscape city, and good part of the Stream Roccella. The city understands around 1.000 inhabitants.
From the 1296 Roccella it was initially barony and then marquisate of the noble family of the Spadaforas.
From the cultural point of view the city offers the possibility to admire the Mother Church the Church entitled to the hearing and the ruins of the feudal Castle. From the naturalistic point of view, instead, the excursions can be effected already near her quoted peak of the Point of Castelluzzo, near the End Left-handed Cross and to the strata of the Volcano Etna.
Roccella Valdemone si trova in provincia di Messina, esattamente ai piedi della punta di Castelluzzo e ad 810 metri sul livello del mare.
Le sue altre coordinate geografiche da ricordare sono innanzitutto la vicinanza con il Parco Regionale delle Nebrodi e quello dell'Etna, la cui sagoma domina il paesaggio cittadino, e buona parte del Torrente Roccella. La citta' comprende circa 1.000 abitanti.
Dal 1296 Roccella fu inizialmente baronia e poi marchesato della nobile famiglia dei Spadafora.
Dal punto di vista culturale la citta' offre la possibilita' d'ammirare la Chiesa Madre, la Chiesa intitolata all'Udienza ed i ruderi del Castello feudale. Dal punto di vista naturalistico, invece, si possono effettuare le escursioni presso la gia' citata vetta della Punta di Castelluzzo, presso il Pizzo Croce Mancina ed alle falde del Vulcano Etna.

La Plaza de la Concordia o en francés, place de la Concorde está situada al comienzo de la Avenida de los Campos Elíseos en el distrito 8, de París, en Francia ( [mostrar el lugar en un mapa interactivo] 48°51′55.81″N 2°19′15.95″E / 48.8655028, 2.3210972). Se trata de la décima más grande de Francia después de la Plaza de Quinconces en Burdeos.
Durante la Revolución francesa, la plaza es el lugar de paso obligado por los cortejos, improvisados o preparados por el protocolo de las fiestas. Será uno de los grandes lugares de alianza del período revolucionario, sobre todo cuando la guillotina estuvo allí instalada.Es donde Luis XVI y María Antonieta fueron ejecutados.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_de_la_Concordia
La place de la Concorde est située au pied de l'avenue des Champs-Élysées dans le 8e arrondissement à Paris, en France. Il s'agit de la deuxième plus vaste place de France (après la place des Quinconces à Bordeaux). Métro Ce site est desservi par la station de métro : Concorde.
Dès le 12 juillet 1789, les bustes de Jacques Necker et de Philippe d'Orléans y sont exhibés ; le prince de Lambesc et ses dragons chargent les manifestants. Le lendemain, la foule pille les armes du Garde-meuble (situé dans le bâtiment nord-est) pour « aller à la Bastille ». Le 6 octobre, Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, et le dauphin (futur Louis XVII), ramenés de Versailles à Paris par le peuple, font leur entrée au palais des Tuileries en traversant la place Louis-XV.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde
The Place de la Concorde is one of the major squares in Paris, France. It is located in the city's eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées.
The center of the Place is occupied by a giant Egyptian obelisk decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramses II. It is one of two the Egyptian government gave to the French in the nineteenth century. The other one stayed in Egypt, too difficult and heavy to move to France with the technology at that time. In the 90's, President Mitterand gave the second obelisk back to the Egyptians.
The obelisk once marked the entrance to the Luxor Temple. The viceroy of Egypt, Mehemet Ali, offered the 3,300-year-old Luxor Obelisk to France in 1831. The obelisk arrived in Paris on December 21, 1833. Three years later, on October 25, 1836, King Louis-Philippe had it placed in the centre of Place de la Concorde, where a guillotine used to stand during the Revolution.
The red granite column rises 23 metres (75 ft) high, including the base, and weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons). Given the technical limitations of the day, transporting it was no easy feat — on the pedestal are drawn diagrams explaining the machinery that were used for the transportation. The obelisk is flanked on both sides by fountains constructed at the time of its erection on the Place.
Missing its original cap, believed stolen in the 6th century BC, the government of France added a gold-leafed pyramid cap to the top of the obelisk in 1998.
Without warning, in 2000 French urban climber Alain "Spiderman" Robert, using only his bare hands and feet and with no safety devices, scaled the obelisk all the way to the top.
View Large On Black Twice a day if you get your times right the sunlight steams down the whole length of Oxford Street..not quite the right time in the above shot.. but its an in to ask for some advice..
I really want to do some shots shooting into direct sunlight.(people framed by light). I've tried a few times without much success...Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on how to accomplish this without blowing out the shot or not getting enough definition from the subject ????
I could pick any number of shots from Ian (Stryker66) photostream as an example of what I am trying to do.. He is a Master at this!!!... I wanted to try and work this out myself before admitting defeat....

Québec City is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. It is the second largest city in the province, after Montreal. Quebec City's Old Town (Vieux-Québec) is the only North American fortified city north of Mexico whose walls still exist, and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the "Historic District of Old Quebec". It is also one of the oldest cities in North America (founded in 1608). Quebec City is internationally known for its Winter Carnival and the Château Frontenac, a historic hotel which dominates the city skyline. By the way, Quebec is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year.
San Miguel de Allende, ciudad del estado mexicano de Guanajuato, se encuentra a una altitud de 1910 m y dista 274 km de la Ciudad de México.
El 7 de julio de 2008 fue inscrita por la Unesco en el Patrimonio cultural de la Humanidad. Anteriormente fue parte del proyecto de "pueblos mágicos", pero debido a esta última distinción de la Unesco, fue cambiada su designación.
La ciudad fue fundada en 1542 por el monje franciscano Fray Juan de San Miguel, quien bautizó el asentamiento como San Miguel el Grande. Era un punto de paso importante del Antiguo Camino Real, parte de la ruta de plata que se conectaba con Zacatecas.
El pueblo se destacó durante la Guerra de Independencia de México. Ignacio Allende, nativo de San Miguel, fue un líder clave en la guerra. Capturado cuando marchaba hacia Estados Unidos en busca de armas, fue juzgado en Chihuahua, sentenciado y fusilado. Su cabeza fue expuesta en uno de los ángulos de la Alhóndiga de Granaditas en Guanajuato junto a las de Miguel Hidalgo, Juan Aldama y Mariano Jiménez. La población de San Miguel el Grande fue elevada a ciudad el 8 de marzo de 1826 y cambió el nombre por "San Miguel de Allende" en honor al héroe nacional.
Durante la década de 1950,
San Miguel de Allende se convirtió en un lugar turístico conocido por su bella arquitectura colonial y sus fuentes termales.
El lugar es famoso por su clima templado, los ojos de agua termal y su arquitectura.
La iglesia de San Francisco de Asís se comenzó a construir en 1778 y tardó más de 20 años en terminarse, se observan diferentes cambios arquitectónicos de acuerdo con el periodo y la moda. La fachada es churrigueresca pura, con una enorme cantidad de figuras labradas de piedra y afiladas columnas. Sin embargo, el campanario, construido en 1799 por el famoso arquitecto, Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras, es de estilo neoclásico, el cual estaba de moda entonces.

1BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.
2Bear (endure, carry) one another's burdens and [a]troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete [b]what is lacking [in your obedience to it].
3For if any person thinks himself to be somebody [too important to condescend to shoulder another's load] when he is nobody [of superiority except in his own estimation], he deceives and deludes and cheats himself.

At centre is Convocation Hall at the St. George campus of the University of Toronto. It is used for graduation ceremonies, as a lecture hall for some of the largest courses (like Psych 100), and also for concerts and other events. I been in this building at various times for all of these purposes, including for a first-year course, and for convocation.
On the right is Knox College, and on the left is the Sandford Fleming building, home to the Computer Science department and the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.
The smoke stack is on campus about a block beyond, near Huron Street. I never knew what it was for, but bytepusher below writes: The smokestack is for the University's central steam plant on Russell Street, where steam is generated for heating and transmitted to most of the buildings on campus through a network of underground tunnels. Thanks for the info!

dal sito del Comune:
Posta all'estremo lembo settentrionale di Lombardia, che con la sua valle si incunea nel cantone svizzero dei Grigioni, Chiavenna, "Clavenna" per i Romani, fu un importante centro di transito fin dall'epoca di Augusto tra la pianura Padana e il nord Europa. Costituisce il centro della Valchiavenna, composta a sua volta da tre valli minori: il Piano di Chiavenna a sud, dove anticamente continuava il lago di Como (oggi sopravvive il lago di Mezzòla), la val San Giacomo verso il passo dello Spluga e la val Bregaglia verso il passo del Settimo un tempo (oggi percorso da un sentiero turistico) e verso quello del Maloja, accesso all'Engadina. Quest'ultima valle, infatti, è divisa dal confine di stato, che fu stabilito dall'imperatore Ottone I fin dal 960.
Della romanità di Chiavenna fanno fede due carte stradali romane: l'Itinerarium Antonini e la Tabula Peutingeriana, che registrano pure "Summus lacus" (oggi Samòlaco).
Gli imperatori assegnarono la Valchiavenna, come il resto del territorio della diocesi, ai vescovi di Como, e il comune di Chiavenna, attestato nel 1097, è il primo a comparire nel territorio dell'attuale provincia di Sondrio. Nel 1335 al vescovo subentrarono i Visconti di Milano e quindi gli Sforza, quando Ludovico Maria Sforza detto il Moro, per difendersi dai vicini Grigioni costituiti in repubblica delle tre Leghe, fece costruire le mura di cinta attorno al borgo (1488-1497).
Ma a poco servirono, perché, sconfitto Ludovico il Moro dalla Francia, a questa passò la valle fino al 1512, quando i Grigioni riuscirono a conquistarla. La terranno fino al 1797, con l'intervallo di un ventennio seguito al cosiddetto Sacro Macello del 1620, durante il quale in Valtellina furono uccisi 400 protestanti. Si trattò di un'insurrezione sanguinosa motivata ufficialmente dalla reazione dei cattolici contro i protestanti (lo erano in maggioranza i Grigioni), in realtà fomentata per motivi politici dalla Spagna, che aveva il ducato di Milano confinante con la Valtellina, e dai nobili valtellinesi, esautorati dalla nobiltà grigione. Non vi partecipò la Valchiavenna, legata ai traffici commerciali con i dominanti, ma ne subì le conseguenze politiche, con l'allontanamento dei Grigioni fino al Capitolato di Milano del 1639.
Il borgo, che era stato dato alle fiamme durante una incursione degli stessi Grigioni nel 1486, risorse a partire dal XVI secolo, quando nacque il centro storico che si vede tuttora, caratterizzato da una strada principale, detta "Paart de mèz" (vie Quadrio, Dolzino, Pedretti), delimitata da case e palazzi a cui si accede da portali in pietra ollàre con date e iscrizioni religiose e morali. Nelle piazze sopravvivono fontane nella stessa pietra locale: da quella cinquecentesca (ma solo relativamente alla vasca ottagonale) del "Cantón" (piazza Pestalozzi) a quella con tazza circolare e sculture del 1732 in piazza San Pietro, a quella tardo ottocentesca di "piaza Növa" (piazza Crollalanza) ecc.
Più o meno parallela alla "Paart de mèz", verso ovest, era la zona artigianale, già servita dal canale derivato dal fiume Mera. Si snoda lungo le vie della Marmirola, al Maglio vecchio, Cappuccini e Molinanca. Sul lato opposto era la zona agricola, servita dalle vie Macolino, delle Agostiniane e Lena-Perpenti. Quest'ultima diventerà zona abitativa a partire dal 1886, quando vi fu costruita la stazione ferroviaria.
Della dominazione grigione rimangono, sulle pareti esterne e soprattutto interne del Pretorio, abbondanti tracce di affreschi dei commissari che ogni due anni venivano inviati dal governo come rappresentanti e giudici, oltre che affreschi sulle case, come quella in via Dolzino, appartenente a un medico riformato, il quale nel 1591 fece decorare la facciata a monocromo con due scene bibliche e, in alto, i re di Francia Enrico III e IV, che fino ad allora si erano distinti nell'appoggio agli ugonotti.
Oltre il fiume, perpendicolare alla "Paart de mèz", si snoda la contrada di Oltremera (via Bossi), fino a una ottantina di anni fa unica via di accesso alla val San Giacomo.
Allontanati i Grigioni nel 1797 dalle truppe napoleoniche, la Valchiavenna entrò nella Cisalpina fino alla sconfitta di Napoleone e dal congresso di Vienna fu aggregata al regno lombardo-veneto, dominato dagli Austriaci, costituendo con la Valtellina la provincia di Sondrio. Nel frattempo, a partire dal 1804, la repubblica dei Grigioni entrava nella Svizzera come cantone. Nel 1861 la Valchiavenna entrò nel Regno d'Italia.
Durante i quasi tre secoli di dominio grigione Chiavenna con la sua valle aveva goduto di un certo benessere, grazie soprattutto alla sua posizione sulla via più diretta tra Milano e il nord Europa. Ciò non fermò il flusso migratorio di parte della popolazione verso altre terre europee, come Austria, Germania, Boemia e Polonia e - da parte di ceti più popolari - verso città italiane, come Venezia, Roma, Napoli, Palermo ecc.

This image was very tricky to shoot and difficult to manipulate because I did not have any idea on how to make it work.
There's only very slight motion going on because I wanted to make it look almost like a freeze frame.
The final works are actually not in print format, they're projected onto the center of the frame she enters (in the First Phase) coupled with a soundtrack and sound effects. I have the video but didn't do a recording of it being projected onto the frame. It's probably going to go up for exhibition at my school so maybe I'll a recording then.
So glad it's over! Sleeping, getting back to games and online shopping are currently my top priorities.
I'll still be shooting, but I might be trying a new style. (This whole series was quite new to me, having the make the settings etc, it's also aesthetically quite different from my preferred ghostly themed work or vintage inspired photographs) I'm not sure yet but possibilities are endless. One thing though, I really don't like studio lights, it just doesn't seem to fit what I do so I'll still be using natural lighting :D Might want to try incorporating drawing with photography or maybe take up digital painting and see how things go from there.

The Stover Myers Mill is a watermill located on the Tohickon Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mill was built by Jacob Stover around 1800 and operated continuously until 1955. It used a millstone to grind flour and feed for livestock using power from a waterwheel. The mill was equipped with an up-and-down saw and also operated as a lumber mill. The property was purchased by Bucks County in 1967 and is open to the public.

"Better poor on Aargau than rich anywhere else."
Nothing more than a slogan to entice visitors. There was more money on Aargau than almost anywhere in the galaxy, and it did not make it into the hands of the poor.
The fall of the Empire freed many planets from tyranny, but the civilized worlds suffered the most. Instability leads to fear, fear leads to hoarding, hoarding leads to desperation, and then there is violence, on both sides.
Any hint of unrest in the undercity, and the armed guards of the city elite pulled people from their homes. Anything to quell the rumors, to stabilize the markets. The weakest in the undercity began to disappear, and their value to the planet at large dwindled into nothing.
You were safer on Aargau walking around in Stormtrooper armor than hand-me-downs. The local remnant capitalized on this.
Late night visits to the houses still populated, brute squads culling the lower class for conscripts. Nobody would miss them.
I felt the same about the stormtroopers themselves.
I have become known by the denizens of the undercity as the Shagha, Aargauese for "vengeful spirit". At the very least, they understood what I was doing.
I move quickly and quietly, my years killing for Black Sun finally benefitting someone besides the Princes.
A slain trooper here, a headless guard there, and a legend begins to grow. I pray it gives the people hope. I cannot truly better their lot, but I can protect them until the wind changes, I can keep them in their homes and away from the brutality of war.
There is irony in my bringing brutality to their streets, instead. Only when it is useful.
I know little of morality and even less of good. My methods are not perfect; I am a kind of monster. I have long known this. But there are times in the past where it has been more true, and faced with the current situation, I cannot stand by. This is all I know to do. Perhaps I can yet earn some measure of peace.
- The "Shagha"
Beloeil (literally "beautiful eye") is one of the largest and most beautiful castle in Belgium. It was founded in the 13th century as a medieval fortress, then was progressively transformed into a residential palace in the 17th and 18th century. The central part of the castle was devastated by a fire in 1900, and rebuilt 2 years later.
Since 1394, the castle has belonged to the Princes of Ligne, one of Belgium's highest ranking noble family. The family has its roots in the village of Ligne, eight kilometres north-east of Beloeil.
The castle has a pleasant French-style park expanding on 120 hectares - the greatest part of which runs across the village of Beloeil, outside the property's boundaries. A rectangular artificial lake faces the castle, with classical statues at each end. Take a look at the enormous carps that swim in the moat surrounding the castles.
The 18th-century classical interior reminds of Versailles and is certainly in accordance with the princely status of the proprietors. It contains an impressive collection of art from the 15th to the 19th century, including an impressive library with some 20,000 books.

Shot taken from a trail, dont know exactly how far up I am, but getting pretty close to the summit.
Yosemite National Park, part of the Nevada Falls trail hike. This hike was only suppose to be about 8 miles round trip, but since I managed to take a wrong path way down to the lower Nevada trail, and had to scale back up to the starting point, it turned out to be a much longer hike than I anticipated, but o well got to see more amazing views and got ALOT more excercise than I originally bargained for. The key is that I eventually found the right path up and got myself out of there before it started getting dark. I was a little concerned there for awhile. Mountain Lions and Bears OMG!

The Tower Hamlets Trayned Bandes were, of course, by their nature, a social as well as military organisation. This is also especially true of the re-created regiment, and is reflected in the civilian roles: craftsmen make useful items and repair equipment, musicians entertain us and the public, preachers watch out for our moral wellbeing, servants and clerks bring order to the lives of officers and goodwives and families lend their support and cater to the inner man!

shot for my portfolio, it's not a photography portfolio but a portfolio showcasing clothing I've done :3 I'm going for my internship interview this Wednesday so it's all pretty rushed, hope it goes well *crosses fingers*
I miss Flickr so much, I haven't been able to use much of it, haven't viewed streams in a while etc, oh well :( Hope to be able to do that soon because I'm sick of drafting and doing paper patterns

The Orange Bull
Another shot of this great day!
I really liked the angle on the SV here, I don't know why I didn't put this shot on my stream before.
This Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce probably was the most eye-catching car at the track. It stood in the boxes at the paddock and only came out a few times to do some laps on the track.
I was at the paddock when this beast came of the track, immediately a crowd formed around the car but I managed to get this shot just before it took off for some more laps.
I was glad to have taken a few decent shots of this car at the event but I was really amazed when I encoutered this car, and was able to get some trackingshots of it, very unexpected on the highway that evening.
I'm uploading my shots out of order because my Day 18 shot is so awesome you'll have to wait even longer to see it.
......I've been at the coast for the last few days, with spotty internet and no phone reception.....getting some work done with my latest muse.
So....a little change from the Inspiration shots you've come to expect....This photo is a little moment in the life with another source of inspiration....my friends.
Anna is my latest partner in art crime and she's fucking hilarious. We've spent the last few days shooting photos and tampon bullets from sunrise to sunset. We decided we needed some guns so we went to a toystore. She got a pistol. I got two.
Pretty much whenever we've had any fights in the last few days, we've resorted to shooting each other in the face. That's the best way to repair a friendship. Ever.
And then we went onto the internet and found pictures of girls who have broken our hearts, and shot them in their pretty little skulls.
Yesterday the weather was gorgeous, which was upsetting when we were trying to shoot nudies under cloud cover....and there were people all around intruding on our shots....They were pretty amused by our little gunfight.
I shot it at Kolkata in the transit camp in the time of Gangasagar fair.
I write a lot about indian children,specially the rural children.still I rigth it again just to remember....
With credible estimates ranging from 60 to 115 million, India has the largest number of working children in the world. Whether they are sweating in the heat of stone quarries, working in the fields sixteen hours a day, picking rags in city streets, or hidden away as domestic servants, these children endure miserable and difficult lives. They earn little and are abused much. They struggle to make enough to eat and perhaps to help feed their families as well. They do not go to school; more than half of them will never learn the barest skills of literacy. Many of them have been working since the age of four or five, and by the time they reach adulthood they may be irrevocably sick or deformed-they will certainly be exhausted, old men and women by the age of forty, likely to be dead by fifty.
Most or all of these children are working under some form of compulsion, whether from their parents, from the expectations attached to their caste, or from simple economic necessity. At least fifteen million of them, however, are workingas virtual slaves.3 These are the bonded child laborers of India. This report is about them.
India has 375 million children, more than any other country in the world. Their condition has improved in the last five decades, with child survival rates up, school dropout rates down, and several policy commitments made by the government at the national and international levels. Resource allocations by the State, however, remain quite inadequate to take care of the survival and healthcare needs of infants and children, their education, development and protection.

The Manali-Leh highway
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.

Turbio fondeadero donde van a recalar,
barcos que en el muelle para siempre han de quedar...
Sombras que se alargan en la noche del dolor;
náufragos del mundo que han perdido el corazón...
Puentes y cordajes donde el viento viene a aullar,
barcos carboneros que jamás han de zarpar...
Torvo cementerio de las naves que al morir,
sueñan sin embargo que hacia el mar han de partir...
Amarrado al recuerdo
yo sigo esperando...
¡Niebla del Riachuelo!...
De ese amor, para siempre,
me vas alejando...
Nunca más volvió,
nunca más la vi,
nunca más su voz nombró mi nombre junto a mí...
esa misma voz que dijo: "¡Adiós!".
Sueña, marinero, con tu viejo bergantín,
bebe tus nostalgias en el sordo cafetín...
Llueve sobre el puerto, mientras tanto mi canción;
llueve lentamente sobre tu desolación...
Anclas que ya nunca, nunca más, han de levar,
bordas de lanchones sin amarras que soltar...
Triste caravana sin destino ni ilusión,
como un barco preso en la "botella del figón"
.

"Let's take the train to anywhere
I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you.
Let's tell them all, that soon they'll know
How very wrong they were to think we'd never go,
And if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine
And we will clean the cobwebs out of one another's minds. "
DON'T EVER - Missy Higgins
Taken on the way back from a recent road trip to Rolleston - weather was miserable the whole 4 days prior. As usual with my luck the sun came out the day we drove home. After seeing these Sunflowers on the way up we quickly pulled over when we drove past on the return trip.

La ameba Nebela se ha echado a dormir, se ha enquistado dentro de su cascarón de pepitas de cuarzo formando una esfera como el mundo; así estará bien arropada y protegida, y quizá de esa forma pueda pasar mejor el invierno de hielo, en la Sierra de la Culebra le espera bajo los aullidos sobrecogedores de los lobos que a veces visitan la charca en la que vive.
Hoy la Naturaleza ha gastado una broma a esta ameba discreta, colocando sobre la cúpula de su casa un tirabuzón. Molinete verde que adorna su cabeza haciéndola presumida en este tiempo de sueño invernal. La espiral de la vida seguirá su ciclo y este filamento que adorna como una joya minúscula, la minúscula casa de joya de Nebela se irá despertando al desperezarse la espiral, cuando sople el viento de primavera.
Cuando ella llegue se convertirá en hilo ondulado...hilo de vida de una cianobacteria que aunque recuerda a Lyngbia contorta probablemente sea Scitonema...y que ha hecho lo mismo que Nebela. Se ha convertido en un ovillo para pasar estos fríos de invierno junto a la compañía de esta ameba. Cuando la primavera empiece a despertar ellas lo harán también transformando su belleza estática en latido.
La ameba Nebela protege su cuerpo dentro de un cascarón fuertemente comprimido en forma de gota y ese cascarón de doble capa, se cubre hoy de pepitas de cuarzo transparentes que ella misma fabrica como gotas de cristal.
La cápsula que encierra el cuerpo de Nebela suele ser ligeramente ocre o amarillenta, comprimida lateralmente y presenta pequeños poros laterales difíciles de observar. El cuello tras el que se encuentra la apertura de su casa - que puede ser lineal, ligeramente o fuertemente curvada - es muy corto, apenas está marcado y su borde está rodeado por un collar de materia orgánica.
El caparazón y casa de esta ameba puede estar compuesto de dos capas una interna constituida por un cemento orgánico y la más externa donde se adhieren partículas minerales, restos de diatomeas o placas de sílice fabricadas por ella misma, como ocurre en la Nebela de hoy. El caso es que para que pueda tener esta capa exterior fabricada con placas, necesita alimentarse de otras amebas que también tengan caparazón. Si no lo tienen y se alimenta solo de amebas desnudas, su cuerpo estará también semidesnudo y únicamente protegido por la capa más interna de cemento traslúcido.
Cuando camina por los fondos Nebela desparrama sus brazos en el agua abriéndose en ella y abrazándola como gruesas raíces móviles que se funden y desaparecen para volver a surgir en mil formas diferentes.
Nebella tubulosa , no es una ameba común, la de hoy vive entre los esfagnos de una turbera situada en las inmediaciones de la pequeña localidad de Boya, situado en pleno corazón de la Sierra de la culebra de Zamora y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.
