This is so very far off the beaten path..for me that is!
While I was in Atlanta, I went to see what I could to shoot in their wine vineyards. As I walked up, I saw this and thought it looks like a person hanging.Creepy!
I wanted to bring this out, I email my finished shot to my daughter asking her what she thought..."it looks like a Crucifixtion!Very cool!" "You should make it Ghostly" I played and sent it back..."OMG,this is awesome, to bad there wasn't fog. Back I went and resent it to her, "this is AMAZING, really CREEPY, I love it" (her words, lol)
So I guess my job was done! lol I am so lucky! She helped me bring out what I saw in my eyes.
So fun to go off the beaten path...lol
Off on an adventure Saturday with Diana, can't wait!! See everyone in a week or so.
Be well all~

The Himalaya Range or Himalayas for short (English pronunciation: /hɪˈmɑːləjə/ or /ˌhɪməˈleɪ.ə/; Sanskrit: हिमालय), Tamil:emaya malai, meaning "abode of snow", is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of a massive mountain system that includes the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and other, lesser, ranges that extend out from the Pamir Knot.
The Himalayan mountain system is the planet's highest and home to the world's highest peaks, the Eight-thousanders, which include Mount Everest and K2. To comprehend the enormous scale of this mountain range consider that Aconcagua, in the Andes, at 6,962 m (22,841 ft), is the highest peak outside Asia, whereas the Himalayan system includes over 100 mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,622 ft).
The Himalayan system, which includes outlying subranges, stretches across six countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Yangtze, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 1.3 billion people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in both Hinduism and Buddhism.

The National Horse-breeding Farm of Kladruby nad Labem - www.nhkladruby.cz
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The horse-breeding farm which Czech estates granted to Emperor Maximilian II. in 1560. In 1579 his son Rudolf II granted the farm imperial establishment status. Teams of Kladruby white horses used to be put to coaches on festive occasions at the Prague and Vienna courts, whereas black horses served the needs of the clergy. In 1918 the horse-breeding farm became the property of the state. Approximately 1,150 horses of the magnificent Staré Kladruby breed are kept throughout the world, with almost half of them being in Kladruby (white horses) and Slatiňany (black horses). The Staré Kladruby horses continue to appear at royal courts (Denmark), at competitions involving teams of horses, including world championships, and Baroque-style horse riding competitions. The Kladruby nad Labem horse-breeding farm is open to the general public throughout the entire season.

Description
Trees 15–25 m tall and up to 150 cm DBH. Single round trunk, often divided to form in mature trees a rounded or flat-topped crown of slender, irregular horizontal, upturned branches; crown form often shaped by wind, especially near the sea. Bark at first smooth silvery gray, later becomings purple-brown, longitudinally grooved and fissured into scaly plates. Branchlets smooth, slightly ridged, gray-green. Winter buds conic, 8 mm long, the scales fringed and often reflexed. Needles in fascicles of 2(–3), 5–12 cm × 1 mm, twisted, edges minutely serrate, with stomata on all surfaces; rather sparsely arrayed along the branchlets. Fascicle sheath persistent but fragile. Seed cones on thick, scaly peduncles; at maturity ovoid, pendant, 6–12 × 4–7 cm, symmetrical, red- to purple-brown, solitary or in whorls of 2–3. Cones take 3 years to mature and remain on branches for long thereafter. Cone scales shiny, yellow- or red-brown, about 2.5 × 1.5 cm, apophysis rhomboid, flat or slightly raised and keeled, without a prickle. Seed 5-6 mm long with a 2.5 cm wing (Dallimore et al. 1967, Farjon 1984).
Distribution and Ecology
Mediterreanean and W Asia: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Malta, France, and Spain. In South Africa, where it is cultivated for shelter poles and firewood, it has naturalized and invaded grassland and fynbos, particularly on dry soils, and become widespread in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape (Palgrave 2002). It is also locally naturalized in USA: California (PLANTS database 2009.03.31). Hardy to Zone 8 (cold hardiness limit between -12.1°C and -6.7°C) (Bannister and Neuner 2001).
Big tree
I have no data on wild trees. A specimen in Arderne Gardens, Claremont, Cape Town, South Africa was measured at 172 cm dbh and 32.0 m tall (Robert Van Pelt pers. comm., 2003.11.24).

Ethnobotany
In the eastern Mediterranean, Pinus halepensis forests are important for resin, fuelwood and forest honey production and also for livestock grazing. "Resin collection activities in Mediterranean countries had always played a significant role in the welfare of forest communities, some of which lived marginally at the edge of subsistence. In some low-income areas, resin collection was (and continue to be) the only reliable source of labor. In addition, many of the resin producing forests are community forests and production benefits go to resin community co-operatives. Another important aspect of these forests is that multiple purpose forestry is applied and other activities other than resin collection co-exist, such as apiculture... Income from the wood of a Pinus halepensis tree, for example, is only 2% of the income generated from resin throughout the lifetime of the tree (an average size tree can produce 3–4 kilograms of resin per year). Moreover, it has been observed that forests that have active resin production have lower incidence of forest fires. This results from the fact that adjacent communities have an active interest in preserving the integrity of the forest ecosystems" (Moussouris and Regato 1999).
Observations
Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.
The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.
Look at the whole series!
Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a jövő)
Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.
A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

I went to an abandoned farm today, for the sole purpose of taking my 365 photo there. Much to my disappointment, I was unable to get inside the house. So instead, I came up with this...
Day 200 is tomorrow, CRAZYYY.
Song of the Day - Timber Timbre - Lay Down in the Tall Grass
"I dreamt you found me out in a field
You tripped over my site
And you dug me out of this shallow grave
with your Swiss Army knife
And only you could revive me, so badly decomposed
I was born white, dry, and scaly
but you still took me home
Dreaming every night of you
Shaking at the sight of you
I'll be dreaming every night of you"

Im Stil der Burg Hohenzollern erbaute Strebemauer, Mühlstrasse in Tübingen.
www.tuepedia.de/index.php/Eckhaus_am_Neckartor
define:
Zinnen, Zinnenmauer
Zinnen wurden in Antike und Mittelalter oft an Befestigungsanlagen wie Stadtmauern oder Burgen eingesetzt. Im Mittelhochdeutschen wurden sie auch mit Wintberge bezeichnet. Sie waren aber nicht nur wehrhafte Bauteile, sondern auch Bedeutungsträger und herrschaftliche Symbole. Der Zinnenkranz einer Wehranlage galt lange Zeit als weithin sichtbares Zeichen der hohen gesellschaftlichen Stellung der Burgbesitzer, weil diese ihren Sitz bewehren durften.
Der Bau der Straße erfolgte 1885-1887 anstelle des ehemaligen Mühlwegs. Der bereits bestehende, aber schmale Geländeeinschnitt wurde etwas verbreitert, die Getreidemühle, Walkmühle und Pulvermühle entfernt. Als Baufirma kam unter anderen Clemens & Decker zum Einsatz. Die Mauerfassade der Hangabstützungen wurde nach dem Vorbild der Burg Hohenzollern ausgeführt. Auf der Westseite ersetzte sie größtenteils die dortige alte Stadtmauer und ist daher, leicht romantisierend, einer Befestigungsmauer mit Zinnen nachempfunden. Ein Stück originale Stadtmauer mit vier Schießscharten ist am unteren Ende noch erhalten. - Ziel des Ausbaus der Mühlstraße war es, sie als "lebhafteste und schönste" Straße zu bauen.

LED-Lampen für Altstadt und Bebenhausen
Insgesamt 400 Straßenleuchten rüstet die Universitätsstadt mit energieeffizienter LED-Technologie aus. Die neuen EcoXCitylights von euroLighting ersetzen veraltete Lampentypen, u. a. stromfressende Hochdruck-Quecksilberdampflampen (HQL), die ab 2015 nicht mehr gehandelt werden dürfen. Statt eines Stromverbrauchs von 80W benötigen die sparsamen LEDs nur 20W und reduzieren so den jährlichen Stromverbrauch von 135MWh auf 49,3MWh. Damit spart die Stadt bis zu 64% Stromkosten und kann ihre Haushaltskassen um rund 12.000 Euro im Jahr entlasten.
hier:
... neu installierten Bodenstrahler an der Mühlstraße
Die Kosten für die LED-Umrüstung betragen rund 45.000 Euro. Davon übernimmt das Land Baden-Württemberg etwa 14.000 Euro in Form eines Zuschusses. Die verbleibenden Kosten für die Universitätsstadt in Höhe von 31.000 Euro werden sich in rund zwei Jahren amortisieren.
Grundlegende Eigenschaften sollte ein gutes Leuchtmittel haben:
* geringer Energieverbrauch
* hohe Lichtausbeute
* gute Lichtlenkung
* Strahlungsbereich: Ideal für das menschliche Auge und Insekten wäre ein Wellenlängenbereich im grünen, gelben und orangen (bis maximal 3000 Kelvin) - hier sind es 4000 Kelvin - (gut für Fotos und Sicherheit).
* Licht muss warm-weiß sein
* minimaler Strahlungsanteil im UV-Bereich
Leider spielt das Thema Vermeidung von Lichtverschmutzung häufig eine viel zu geringe Rolle!
Neue LED-Leuchten (Preistafeln, etc.) an Tankstellen und in der Werbung unterliegen scheinbar keinerlei Kontrolle bezüglich ihrer Blendung; hier gilt nur Auffallen um jeden "Preis".
Auch bei neu geplanter Beleuchtung wird oft viel Licht sinnlos in den Nachthimmel und die Umwelt gestraht, anstatt das Licht nur dorthin zu lenken, wo es gebraucht wird.
Die EcoXCitylights sind speziell für den Einsatz in Altstadtleuchten, den sog. “Nachtwächterleuchten”, konzipiert. Dank einfachem Austauschsystem lassen sich die zylinderförmigen LED-Lampen mit Einschraubsockel E27 schnell und unkompliziert in die bestehenden Tübinger Gehäuse installieren.
Ihre Lichtfarbe von 4.000K (neutralweiß) und der 360° Abstrahlwinkel sorgen für eine sichere und angenehme Beleuchtung auf Wegen, Straßen und Plätzen.
This is a Photoshop and Lightroom re-work of a shot I previously posted.
The shipwreck that was vomited up from the bottom of the sea by a storm far at sea and deposited onto the beach at Montecito, California was not placed there gently. The unpredictable forces of mother nature can leave unexpected surprises for us to discover and marvel at. It took one of nature's most beautiful and sometimes most violent forces --- the power of the angry sea in the form of a crashing wave like this one to deposit the 'mystery sailing craft' that is the subject of this set on the beach at Montecito and leave us all wondering about its origins.

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.

CASTELLANO
Rupit y Pruit (en catalán Rupit i Pruit) es un municipio de la comarca de Osona situado al noreste de la comarca y al este de la Sierra de Cabrera. Está integrado por dos núcleos urbanos: Rupit y Pruit, que fueron independientes hasta el año 1977. Es el último pueblo de la provincia de Barcelona en la carretera que une los municipios de Vic, capital de la comarca de Osona y Olot, capital de la comarca de La Garrotxa (Gerona).
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.

I called up Jim Patterson yesterday on his day off to see if he felt like going shooting. I didn't have whatfor in mind, so Jim suggested a place called Pebble Beach near Pescadero. We cruised up the coast, being buffeted by high winds the whole way. We got to the beach, and hopped out of the truck to scope out conditions.
Well thanks to the wind, the ocean froth had been whipped up into a foamy meringue which was completely covering the beach in foot-thick, viscous, undulating drifts. I busted out some video to document this weird phenomenon and got totally splattered with foam in the process. :) Ok, so shooting here was totally out of the question due to the high winds and ubiquitous foamy goop. So where to go? Jim and I were shouting at each other over the roar of the wind and decided our only course was to head back south.
After some miles we pulled off at a little turn out to scope the rocks just north of Waddell Creek (Jim, is that right? help me out here). The water was coming up pretty high over the rocks so we hemmed and hawed a bit and Jim made the decision to leave, and I made the decision to get in his truck so he didn't leave without me.
Further cruising ensued until we pulled into the Panther / Hole in the Wall Beach parking lot. We scrambled down to the beach to see about getting to HITW but the arch way was impassable as the ocean had scooped a good 50 tons of sand out of the floor of the arch and the water was running really high through there. Ok, so north end of Panther it was. But we got up there and the waves were absolutely demolishing the rocks, sending spray shooting 40 feet into the air.
Hrm. So back to the south end we went and ended up shooting a bunch of stuff near the arch. And the conditions ended up being pretty awesome; better than I think either of us expected. So we set our D300's rattling as the sun set and came away with some nice images.
See video below!

USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) (also known by crewmembers as "the Big Stick" or within the navy simply as TR) is the fourth Nimitz-class supercarrier. Her radio call sign is Rough Rider, the name of President Theodore Roosevelt's volunteer cavalry unit during the Spanish-American War. She was launched in 1984, saw her first action during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and is currently homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Her cost was $4.5 billion in 2007 dollars.[1]
TR's mission statement includes the following: "USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) is a key element of [the] country's forward-deployed defense strategy. Tasked with maintaining open sea lanes of trade and communications, TR is capable of projecting air superiority to all points of the globe. The embarked Carrier Air Wing aircraft serve as outstanding instruments of peace. Anytime and anywhere TR reports for duty, she brings 4.5 acres of sovereign U.S. territory and 97,000 tons of diplomacy. This enables the ship to carry out a wide variety of missions, including: air warfare, strike warfare, surface warfare, undersea warfare and electronic warfare. TR also shares the task of replenishing ships at sea and performing a variety of non-combat missions, such as the rescue at sea of people in distress and the transport of refugees and others in need of help...one goal ... being ready to exercise the power of TR in support of the "Forward Presence" mission of the U.S. Navy."[2]

I used to go to matinee movies at this Theatre when I was a small child! It was so grand and ornate that it was always such a wonderful event to "go to the movies" with my friends. Hopefully without dating myself too much - this is the theater I saw Star Wars at for the first time!
Unfortunately due to changing times and lack of funding the Missouri Theater was sold and not utilized for many many years, Thankfully the Missouri Symphony purchased it and renamed it The Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts. Through diligent fund raising they were able to restore this magnificent building to it's original glamour!
I recently had the privilege to show and sell my art within these amazing walls! I was also given the opportunity to photograph each and every cranny of this building for (fingers crossed) possible promotion of the Theatre!
The biggest thrill was seeing the "Organ Room" which holds the original pipes of the organ that is located just out of sight on the left of this image! I was also given the opportunity to see the "Peter Pan" door - where the Flying Artists "jumped" and flew suspended across the stage!
Needless to say I am very honored to have such an experience. Childhood memories now merging to my adult appreciation of such a beautiful building!
I may post some more of my work of this amazing building in the future!
Best wishes to each of you - e
Full moon rises over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA.
A photo of Stephen W. Oachs inspired me to try and take a shot of San Francisco from a new viewpoint. So today Jess and I hiked down to Kirby Cove in the Marin Headlands. I tried to find a good spot to set up my tripod and shoot this panorama shot. I wanted to be a bit above the water so that the nightlights would get reflected in the water better. But also not to high up, so that the city remains under the bridge. After some exploring I found a promising spot that included no major but some climbing down a cliff...
At first I was a little disappointed because of the lack of clouds over the city (for some extra color). But then I remembered that tonight the moon is the closest to Earth for the entire year resulting in a 14% bigger full moon than usual. I chose this spot to snap a shot of the moon over the city and with a perfect full moon I didn't want to miss the opportunity.
The sun set and it got cold. I was a little worried about the climb back up the cliff in the dark. I had a flashlight, but I would need my arms to pull myself up the steep parts. I was just about to leave in order to still be able to use the last remaining light as I noticed the glow of the moon over the horizon (sooner than expected). A little while later I was able to take a series of eleven 2min shots to create this panorama. I think it was worth the extra wait.
I packed up my gear and with flashlight in mouth climbed out of the cliff.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is America's first national park. Located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Yellowstone contains approximately one-half of the world’s hydrothermal features. There are over 10,000 hydrothermal features, including over 300 geysers, in the park.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,472 square miles (8,987 km²), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano; it has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining, nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone.

un volcán corre en tus venas.
Y mi sangre como brasa
tienes paloma,
en tu cuerpo quiero hundirme
palomitay,
hasta el fondo de tu sangre.
El sol morirá, morirá,
la noche vendrá, vendrá
Envuélvete en mi cariño

tu boca junto a mi boca
paloma, palomitay.
¡Ay! paloma.
En tu cuerpo flor de fuego

una llamarada mía
palomitay,

tierna paloma
no pierdas las esperanzas
palomitay,
la flor crece con el agua.
El sol volverá, volverá,
la noche se irá, se irá.
Envuélvete en mi cariño
deja la vida volar
tu boca junto a mi boca
paloma, palomitay.
¡Ay! paloma.

Messing about on the pier seeing if i can get vision for and pull off long exposures. All in all a great day despite getting drenched twice in one day in one set of clothes. It will be a miracle if i dont catch cold.
Shot with Singh Ray Vari-ND at max with color combo CPL also by Singh Ray, now thats 10 stops of light stopping power for those that are counting. I also used a 2 stop lee hard grad for the sky matched at the horizon. Some 13 seconds in camera on a tripod of course and then at home straight RAW conversion and then toned in Silvereffex. All in all round 3mins of editing- nothing quite beats filters for not spending an entire night behind a computer screen :)
Forgot to mention this was shot with a canon 5d and 17-40
BTW this is Llandudno Pier, North Wales. To the right in the distance is the off shore wind farm.
I really should dedicate this shot to my wonderful girlfriend who tolerates my photographic hobby/obsession and who patiently waited on the pier while i took 10 mins to set this shot up and then another 10 waiting for enough people to walk through the shot. Thank you hunny xx

Just came from Gangasagar Fair & shot it there...Gangasagar Mela(fair) is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal (INDIA). This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. This festival is celebrated during January every year and is a major attraction for millions of pilgrims from all over India.
The pilgrims come for a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (last day of the Bengali Month) Magha -Mid January. They take dips in the Ganges and offer water to the Sun God. The dip, as they say, purifies their 'self' and according to them, 'punya' can be obtained thus. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect......

Madrugada de Sábado 10 a Domingo 11 y en el cielo inmenso la luna más Grande y brillante de 2009, a mi me parecía el faro de Matxitxako....... :-S
A finales de diciembre pasado se pudo ver la Luna más grande y brillante de los últimos quince años.
Por si en aquella ocasión alguien se perdió el fenómeno, la pasada noche del sábado 10 de enero se pudo ver la Luna llena casi un 15% más grande y con un 30% más de brillo de lo normal. Ha sido la Luna llena más grande de 2009. ¿Por qué? El astrónomo Johannes Kepler explicó el fenómeno hace ya cuatro siglos.
La órbita de la Luna alrededor de la Tierra es elíptica y tiene un lado ubicado 50.000 km más cerca de la Tierra que el otro. La mejor ocasión para observar este fenómeno, aconsejan los astrónomos, se produce cuando la Luna se encuentra cerca del horizonte.
Los astrónomos llaman "perigeo" al punto de máximo acercamiento de la órbita de la Luna a la Tierra y es en ese punto donde la Luna estará este fin de semana. Cuando la Luna se observa cerca del horizonte provoca una ilusión que la hace ver más grande de lo normal. Más aún cuando ésta se asoma entre árboles, edificios y otros puntos de referencia en tierra.
Diario 20 minutos.
We camped at a camping site by the Müritz lake and went for a late bicycle tour along the shore. This was the first stop, and a first long exposure attempt.
I personally loved the tranquility of the place.
"El Toro" at Six Flags. :]
The two people on the first seat are my cousin and sister.Hah.
All grainy and stuff,sorry zoomed in >_<.
I now have two books of my work available...

I hear these beauties but I hardly ever see them. This handsome male Baltimore Oriole sure caught my eye! I was happy to have had my tele-conversion lens on my little sony. Watching this guy was killing my neck he was up so high ;) It was worth it to finally get some clear shots of this beauty.
"The Baltimore Oriole received its name from the fact that the male's colors resembled those on the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore."
"A group of orioles are collectively known as a "pitch" and a "split" of orioles."
"Male Description
Head, throat, mantle, wings, and tail black. Underparts, shoulders, tip and edges of tail, and rump orange to yellow orange. May be deeper orange on chest. Single white wingbar; orange shoulder makes a second wingbar. Bill pointed and silvery."
Enjoy!!
Maritime Museum "ELBE 1" at Cuxhaven-Germany
Am 22. April 1988 ging in der Elbmündung vor Cuxhaven die 172jährige Geschichte bemannter Feuerschiffe zu Ende. Diese wiesen als "schwimmende Leuchttürme" der internationalen Schifffahrt den sicheren Weg durch die Sandbänke in die Elbmündung oder nach See. Ähnlich wurden deutsche Feuerschiffe auf der Weser, in der Jademündung und der Deutschen Bucht oder in der Ostsee eingesetzt. Für die internationalen Gewässer galt ähnliches.
Die Besatzungen waren nicht nur notwendig, um die Feuerschiffe zu betreiben, sondern sie halfen Menschen in Seenot oder holten über Funk Hilfe herbei, beobachteten den Schiffsverkehr, Wind, Wasser und Wetter und gaben Meldungen weiter. Ein Feuerschiff hatte seine Position unter allen Umständen ständig zu halten.
Siegfried Lenz schrieb in seinem Buch "Das Feuerschiff":
"Wenn ein Schiff draußen untergeht, dann ist es ein einzelnes Unglück und gehört zu dem Preis, den die Seeleute zahlen müssen, aber wenn ein Feuerschiff von seinem Standort verschwindet, hört die Ordnung auf See auf."
Das galt sicher bis 1988. Später sollten die nautischen Aufgaben von unbemannten Feuerschiffen weitergeführt werden. Diese fielen aber bereits nach einigen Jahren der See zum Opfer und wurden über dies durch moderne Navigationstechniken ganz überflüssig. Ob das auch für die Männer gilt, die einst für die vielen anderen Aufgaben ihren Dienst taten, bleibt dahingestellt.
Die "ELBE 1" ist nach ihrer Position so benannt. Ihr eigentlicher Schiffsname ist BÜRGERMEISTER O´SWALD.
Am 27. Oktober 1936 kenterte in einem schweren Orkan auf seiner Position ein Feuerschiff gleichen Namens und sank mit 15 Besatzungsmitgliedern, die an dieser Stelle ihr Seemannsgrab fanden. Ein ähnliches Unglück ereignete sich bereits am Zweiten Weihnachtstag 1824. Beim Untergang des Signalschiffes "Seestern" fanden acht Besatzungsmitglieder und zwei Lotsen den Seemannstod.
Am 7. November 1948 wurde die heutige ELBE 1 in Dienst gestellt. Schiff und Besatzungen erfüllten bis zum 22. April 1988 teilweise unter schweren Bedingungen ihre Aufgaben. Nach der Außerdienststellung wurde das Schiff von der Stadt Cuxhaven erworben und liegt heute im Alten Hafen von Cuxhaven. Es kann dort zu bestimmten Zeiten besichtigt werden. Betreut wird es von Mitgliedern des "Feuerschiff-Verein ELBE 1 von 2001 e.V." Cuxhaven. Die Unterkünfte mit Kammern, Kombüse, Mannschafts- und Offiziersmesse sind für Besucher ebenso zugänglich wie der eindrucksvolle Maschinenraum und natürlich die Kommandobrücke. Alle nautischen und technischen Einrichtungen sind in einem betriebsbereiten Zustand und wurden im Jahre 2002 mit modernen Navigationsgeräten ergänzt. Das Schiff unterliegt der Aufsicht des Germanischen Lloyds und erfüllt die Sicherheitsvorschriften der See-Berufsgenossenschaft.
Dadurch unterscheidet sich das Cuxhavener Feuerschiff von vielen anderen Museumsschiffen. Es ist in der Lage, Fahrten zu maritimen Veranstaltungen in anderen Häfen zu unternehmen. Die dafür erforderliche ehrenamtliche Besatzung stellt der Feuerschiff-Verein Cuxhaven. An den Fahrten können Fahrgäste in begrenzter Zahl gegen Erstattung der Unkosten teilnehmen.
Die Offiziersmesse, ein Traditionsraum, dient heute u.a. dem Cuxhavener Standesamt als Trauzimmer. Nach Voranmeldung beim Standesamt Cuxhaven können Brautpaare hier in den "Hafen der Ehe" einlaufen.
Die ehemalige Werkstatt des Schiffszimmermanns - das "Timmer-mannshok" - ist, zum Teil seinem früherem Zweck angepasst - zu einem Begegnungsraum bei Veranstaltungen hergerichtet worden. Hier finden bis zu 40 Personen Platz.

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric ( /ˈæɡərɪk/) or fly amanita ( /ˌæməˈnaɪtə/), is a poisonous and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the southern hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. The quintessential toadstool, it is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Several subspecies, with differing cap colour, have been recognised to date, including the brown regalis (considered a separate species), the yellow-orange flavivolvata, guessowii, formosa, and the pinkish persicina. Genetic studies published in 2006 and 2008 show several sharply delineated clades that may represent separate species.
Yesterday was odd. I was at work, calling customers to fix account problems. At about 10am, I called some guy down in SoCal. We had a nice conversation about his account. Then he goes,
"Where are you calling from?"
I told him.
"You have an amazing voice. You sound gorgeous."
"Um...thank you!"
"Are you single?"
Our phone calls are monitored, so I didn't feel it was appropriate to say "Gay," so I just sort of blanched.
"It's too bad you're not in California. Want to be my phone buddy?"
"Um..... No. Thanks?"
It was really odd, and completely made my day feel strange and surreal.
I would throw some life lesson in here about how you shouldn't upset the person who handles your money. But he didn't really upset me, it was actually a nice disruption from the mundane. I guess I'm flattered.
I shot a photo of myself at work with my headset on, and was going to post about "here's what the person at the other end of the phone line looks like."
But then I was out for a walk, and I decided I didn't want to waste the last breath of sunlight. I literally got this one shot, and then the sun died away, and there is no beautiful lens flare one shot later. I kind of enjoy how the light takes away my identity in the shot.
My night ended with some really exciting, happy-making news, so I fully shot a third, completely different portrait of me smiling big..... But I'm gonna keep all that close to my chest, where it's precious and real. :).
Cathedral of Cologne
Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen
Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria) is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, and is under the administration of the archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture, and of the faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius". Cologne Cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Cathedral, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world.
The choir of Cologne Cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault.
Construction of the Gothic church began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete – a period of over 600 years. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its two towers are 157 m tall.
Cologne Cathedral, despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe", as was befitting a worship-place of the Holy Roman Emperor and the traditional shrine of the Three Kings.

In mid May, we drove thirteen hours from Georgia up the Shenandoah Valley and across the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Wayne, PA, arriving at the gates of this great American Garden just before 6:00 PM to take advantage of the 8:00 Friday closing time. I've now put up a set of shots taken quickly over the two hours just before the garden closed that afternoon.
If you have time, you can click on the set and run the SLIDESHOW in FullScreen Mode to follow us around the garden: www.flickr.com/photos/ugardener/sets/72157629915442950/wi...
Here is an EXTENSIVE Plant List that shows the kind of horticultural craftsmanship and attention to detail that makes this garden and the staff who run it so special:
www.chanticleergarden.org/pdffiles/Chanticleer.pdf
..
Here is a link to the garden's beautiful website, and a quote from it about its history:
"The Chanticleer estate dates from the early 20th-century, when land along the Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was developed for summer homes to escape the heat of Philadelphia. Adolph Rosengarten, Sr., and his wife Christine chose the Wayne-St. Davids area to build their country retreat. The family's pharmaceutical firm would become part of Merck & Company in the 1920s.
The Rosengartens hired architect and former classmate Charles L. Borie to design the house, which was completed in 1913. Landscape architect Thomas Sears designed the terraces as extensions of the house. A 1924 addition converted the summer home into a year-round residence and the family moved here permanently.
Mr. Rosengarten's humor is evident in naming his home after the estate "Chanticlere" in Thackeray's 1855 novel The Newcomes. The fictional Chanticlere was "mortgaged up to the very castle windows" but "still the show of the county." Playing on the word, which is synonymous with "rooster," the Rosengartens used rooster motifs throughout the estate.
Adolph and Christine gave their two children homes as wedding presents. They purchased a neighboring property for son Adolph, Jr. and his bride Janet Newlin in 1933. It is now the site of the Ruin. Daughter Emily's house, located at today's visitor entrance, was built for her in 1935. It is presently used for offices and classrooms.
Adolph, Jr., bought his sister's portion of the estate following her death in the 1980s. He didn't move into the main house, but used it for entertaining and kept it as it was when the family lived there. The house is open for tours by reservation. Adolph, Jr., left the entire property for the enjoyment and education of the public following his death in 1990. A seven-member Board of Directors, five of whom are Rosengarten relatives, oversees The Chanticleer Foundation. The garden opened to the public in 1993. There are 17 full-time staff, of whom two manage facilities and 12 are gardeners and groundskeepers."
I can’t stay away from black and whites for too long can I ? This is one of the very first photos I took on the safari and it continues to be one of my favourites. I mean come on, zebras crossing the road, zebra crossing? The joke practically writes itself! And boy were we excited when we saw these zebras crossing our path! Good times :D
To think about it, this was quite a mundane sight in the savannah; Zebras were everywhere and they were constantly in front of our vehicle. A couple of times we had to stop for quite a bit of time so that they could clear out. Now that’s the kind of traffic I don’t mind!
And also note the dust raked up by the safari vehicles up ahead. Note to all potential visitors- Amboseli is a dust bowl, and it will get in your eyes, hair, ears, mouth - everywhere. But you will be happy. That much I can promise.
S. splendidus, also known as the mandarin goby, is actually not a goby at all. It is a dragonette.
One of the more beautiful, albeit difficult [not impossible], marine fish to keep alive in the long term. This is in due in large part to the mandarin dragonette's picky eating attitude, normally accepting a narrow fare of live foods. If you click the link above, and view this picture large you can see that the mouth of the mandarin dragonette is very small, and puckered. This mouth shape is ideal for picking off reef micro-fauna (copepods and amphipods, and other tasties) from nooks and crannies. It is not unusual for them to accept other foods more accessible to the common hobbyist, however that said, it is not common either.
Normally, these fish are best left in the ocean unless an aquarium owner is able to provide sustenance for these little beauties. With the advent of captive bred mandarin's becoming more and more available to hobbyists, this is a more viable option to many enthusiasts as these specimens take much better to prepared foods than their wild caught kin.

I had so many Ideas for this...I might do more of these...this is fun!!!!! Of course I got those looks from Hubby when I came home soaking wet with mud, sand and ketchup all over me...but I had a blast!!!!....hehehehehehe....got my new remote!!
And...I hope to god the manipulation is ok...I laid my glasses down the for the shot....and after shooting and getting dry enough to touch my camera....YEP..you guessed it..I forgot and stepped on them...so no glasses....LMAO
Shot with a Canon A-1 with a 50/1.4 using Kodak Tri-X 400.
Took this photo during my short 1 week break back in Hong Kong for my birthday. Big thanks to Euky who volunteered his own time in taking me to this location for the shoot. I was always fascinated by housing estates and the lifestyles which surrounded them even though I have never really lived in one myself. With the government tearing these places down in favour of newer public housing these places are really getting rare too. Hopefully this one lasts till the next time I am home for me to shoot it again. View On White

Město Sighetu Marmației bylo připojeno k železniční síti dne 4. prosince 1872 otevřením úseku Bustyaháza–Máramarossziget (Sighetu Marmației) na železniční trati Debrecen –Máramarossziget. Trať tehdy provozovala Északkeleti Vasúttal (Severovýchodní železnice MÉKV) a od roku 1890 trať převzaly Maďarské dráhy (Magyar Államvasutak). Na konci první světové války byla trať rozdělena na čtyři části: západní úsek z Debrecenu do Nyírábrány zůstal Maďarsku, úsek z Carei do Halmeu přešel na rumunské území, úsek z Diakova do Teresvy na československém území a z Câmpulung la Tisy do Sighetu Marmației opět na rumunském území. V důsledku dvou vídeňských diktátů z března 1939 a srpna 1940 se celá železniční trať dostala na několik let pod maďarskou kontrolu. Po skončení 2. světové války byly částečně obnoveny hranice z roku 1938, ale Karpatská Ukrajina již nebyla vrácena Československu a byla zařazena do Sovětského svazu. S rozpadem SSSR v roce 1991 přešla sovětská část trati na ukrajinské území a je provozována UZ. Stanice Sighetu Marmației je vybavena elektromechanickým zabezpečovacím zařízením a disponuje 16 kolejemi normálního rozchodu a třemi kolejemi o rozchodu 1 520 mm, z nichž čtyři jsou využívány pro osobní vlaky, tři pro nákladní vlaky. Další čtyři koleje slouží pro nakládku a vykládku vozů a osm kolejí slouží pro posun.
Připomeňme, že minulosti, počínaje rokem 1883, bylo město Sighetu Marmației centrem úzkorozchodné železniční sítě (760 mm), která pronikala do pahorkatiny z jihovýchodu města a dosahovala severního okraje vulkanických hor Gutâi. Celá síť úzkorozchodných železnic s centrem v Sighetu Marmației byla zrušena počínaje rokem 1975 masivním zavedením motorových vozidel do lesní těžby. Až do zrušení těchto úzkorozchodných tratí byla stanice Cămara Sighet jedinou stanicí v Rumunsku, kde byly přítomny tři rozchody: úzký (760 mm), normální (1 435 mm) a široký (1 520 mm).
Dříve rušná stanice tak dnes zeje skoro prázdnotou. Denně se zde obrací čtyři páry osobních vlaků, přičemž nejzajímavější je spoj 4114/4116, který veze lůžkový vůz z/do Bukurešti. Nákladní doprava je zde nulová. Přímé vlaky do Temešváru, Mangalie a Budapešti byly zrušeny v roce 2013. Vlaky z ukrajinské Teresvy do Sighetu Marmației zajížděly v letech 1998–2007.
Na snímku ze 7. července 2024 se v ranních hodinách představuje u mechanických vjezdových návěstidel lokomotiva 60.1115 s vlakem R 4652 [Sighetu Marmației – Vișeu de Jos].
i had the worst car trip of my life...i'm prone to panic attacks in public (i can't deal with crowds at all) but in a car, i've always been fine...i love road trips and driving everywhere...we've driven to the mountains dozens of times before, up and down steep hills, close to the edges where you could see everything below...
but, this time something went wrong...we were coming back home from Tehachapi, and recently i'd started to get nervous there so my dad promised me he woudn't drive through the mountains where you have to drive around the edges and see your death at the bottom...well, he forgot and while i was lost in my head listening to my iPod, i looked over the side and started to freak...
next thing i know, i've as much on the ground as my seatbelt will allow, i'm crouched and crying and shaking and i've pulled my hoddie over my head, my sunglasses on and my iPod is as loud as it can go...i'm clenching my cell phone so tight i have to drop it because i'm suddenly afraid i'll somehow manage to crush it...
panic came over in way i've never in my life felt...i thought we were all going to die, and go over one of the edges at the next sharp turns...i was unable to breathe and i just kept crying while my parents tried to calm, but it didn't help...and somewhere in the back of my head i was amused that i would die while listening to Jim Gaffigan do his bit on Hot Pockets on my iPod...
once we descended i was fine again, and i felt so incredibly stupid...i wasn't afraid for the rest of the trip back and haven't been afraid since...i just really hope this was a one time thing...
anthony and i were talking, and we think it came from my fear that something horrible will happen to my family and soon...the holidays are always really wonderful for us, but at the same time it's when family tragedy strikes the most...i can't help but shake the feeling of doom, but i'm determined to try...
Well this is freakin late..and woops...Man what do i say. First the Picture, Ha, I painted myself silver, and used my imagination from there..I guess Im bored and I really feel bad, because I am behind and Im not posting my stuff..but im posting..im posting, It's like an exercise habit, you know you need to go to the gym but you don't go, yeah that is the same feeling I get..
The Inside of me is allowing myself to crack from the outside, from my pores, and the cracks my knowledge seeps through the cracks, and at the same time like a breath of fresh air, new knowledge comes back. Ha, just talking now..but yeah this is how I feel, I have met some really cool people, and you would never know what these people have done unless you really spoke to them. Thanks.

I just love the open roads and blue skies of Arizona! This is why I love driving in Arizona outside the cities...the open road, you can see almost to infinity, the wide open spaces with NO billboards or advertisements to distract you from the views of nature...it is awesome. I took this photo out the front windor of the car as we cruised along US Highway 180 on our way from the Grand Canyon to Valle at the intersection of US180 and State Route 64. It was a really nice ride.
