This photo was taken at sunset in Lincoln City, Oregon, USA. This is a beautiful beach on the Central Oregon Coast.
About this photo: We stayed in a beach apartment for 1 week in Lincoln City. When we arrived around dinner time at this place it was cloudy. After dinner we decided to go for a walk on the beach and at the end of the evening we were treated to a beautiful sunset as it started to clear up. What a gorgeous evening that was!
As the sun was setting I wondered down to the beach to enjoy the sunset and take some photos. At that point I remembered my "panorama" button on my camera and figured it was time try it out again as I haven't used it that much yet. I liked the results! I hope you do too! :)

Some information on Lincoln City and the beach: Lincoln City is nestled between seven miles of sandy beaches and a 680 acre scenic lake on the central Oregon Coast. And while it's a charming resort town, it's also a paradise of beauty, history and adventure.
The mighty Pacific Ocean greets the beach along seven gorgeous miles in Lincoln City. The beauty and activities along the seashore change with the seasons, adding spice and variety. There are excellent locations for wave, whale, sunset and storm watching, and the beach is a treasure trove for collecting driftwood, agates, shells and floats. Large rocks emerging from the sea create perfect pockets for tide pooling during low tides, and beach hiking, surfing, windsurfing and fishing challenge adventure seekers. Fifteen public beach accesses welcome those who wish to indulge!
The Oregon Coast is the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon along the Pacific Ocean, constituting the western border of the state. Stretching 583km/362mi from the city of Astoria to the California border, the Oregon Coast is unique in that the entire coast is public land. Oregon law prohibits private ownership of coastline property.
The Oregon Coast is often divided into three regions
•The North Coast—from the Washington border at Astoria to Lincoln City.
•The Central Coast—from Lincoln City to Reedsport.
•The South Coast—from Reedsport to the California border, just south of Brookings.
There are no large cities on the coast, mainly due to the lack of deep harbors with access to the inland agricultural areas. The largest metropolitan area consists of the bordering cities of Coos Bay and North Bend on the South Coast. This area has a population of approximately 25,000 people. There is only one continuous highway along the coastline, the U.S. Route 101. The relative isolation of the coast from nearby large population centers has given the coast a reputation for being somewhat rustic, being a mixture of old logging towns, fishing villages, seasonal resorts, and artists' colonies. Tourism, fishing and logging are the major industries on the coast. The coastal region's popularity, combined with the fact that there are only a few two-lane roads from the more populated areas in the Willamette Valley contributes to traffic to the north and central coasts being named the worst tourist traffic in the United States.

The Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park (Catalan: Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa) is a natural park area covering a Holocene volcanic field (also known as the Olot volcanic field) in Catalonia, northeastern Spain. The volcanos, of which there are about forty within the park, are no longer active, with the last eruption (Croscat) occurring about 11,000 years ago.[1] However, the region is still seismically active, and a large earthquake in 1428 caused damage to buildings and twenty deaths in Barcelona, 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the south.
The park covers 12,093.02 hectares, and includes territory from eleven municipalities in the comarca of Garrotxa.[2] The built-up areas of Olot, Santa Pau, Sant Joan les Fonts and Castellfollit de la Roca are completely surrounded by the park. Including these urban areas, the population of the park is more than 40,000 people, and the economic development of the zone is one of the objectives of the park management, while trying to avoid the damage caused by quarrying, urban sprawl and illegal waste disposal. Some 980.86 ha of the park, including the best preserved volcanic cones, are fully protected as nature reserves.

Ducketts Grove was designed in a Castellated Gothic revival style by Thomas A. Cobden for John Davidson Duckett circa 1825. The 18th, 19th and early 20th century home of the Duckett family, was formerly at the centre of a 12,000 acre estate that has dominated the Carlow landscape for over 300 years.The building incorporates numerous towers and turrets of varying shapes – round, square and octagonal. One tall octagonal turret rises from the structure. It is elaborately ornamented with oriels and niches containing statues.
The house itself is situated in the townland of Rainstown, between Carlow and Tullow but the estate itself comprised several large townlands and parts of others.
In September 2005 during Heritage Week, Carlow Country Council acquired Duckett’s Grove and commenced the restoration of two inter-connecting walled gardens.
Even in ruin, the surviving towers and turrets of Duckett’s Grove form a romantic profile making it one of the most photogenic historic buildings in the country.
The CN Tower stands out amongst the city's Condos here for sure..I took this yesterday while driving in my car.........(It was a good day for me yesterday...I went to a Christmas bazaar and won 3 draws including a 16 lb. Grain Fed Frozen Turkey lol ;)

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or "Fountain of the Four Rivers" is a fountain in Rome, Italy, located in the Piazza Navona. Designed by Gianlorenzo Bernini, it is emblematic of the dynamic and dramatic effects sought by High Baroque artists. It was erected in 1651 in front of the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, and yards from the Pamphilj Palace belonging to this fountain's patron, Innocent X (1644-1655).
The four gods on the corners of the fountain represent the four major rivers of the world known at the time: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Plate. The design of each god figure has symbolic importance.
Design
Bernini's design was selected in competition. The circumstances of his victory are described as follows:
So strong was the sinister influence of the rivals of Bernini on the mind of Innocent that when he planned to set up in Piazza Navona the great obelisk brought to Rome by the Emperor Caracalla, which had been buried for a long time at Capo di Bove for the adornment of a magnificent fountain, the Pope had designs made by the leading architects of Rome without an order for one to Bernini. Prince Niccolò Ludovisi, whose wife was niece to the pope, persuaded Bernini to prepare a model, and arrange for it to be secretly installed in a room in the Palazzo Pamphili that the Pope had to pass. When the meal was finished, seeing such a noble creation, he stopped almost in ecstasy. Being prince of the keenest judgment and the loftiest ideas, after admiring it, said: “This is a trick … It will be necessary to employ Bernini in spite of those who do not wish it, for he who desires not to use Bernini’s designs, must take care not to see them.”
Paraphrase from Filippo Baldinucci, The life of Cavaliere Bernini (1682)
Public fountains in Rome served multiple purposes: first, they were highly needed sources of water for neighbors in the centuries prior to home plumbing. Second, they were monuments to the papal patrons. Earlier Bernini fountains had been the Fountain of the Triton in Piazza Barberini, the fountain of the Moor in the southern end of Piazza Navona erected during the Barberini papacy, and the Neptune and Triton for Villa Montalto, whose statuary now resides at Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Each has animals and plants that further carry forth the identification, and each carries a certain number of allegories and metaphors with it. The Ganges carries a long oar, representing the river's navigability. The Nile's head is draped with a loose piece of cloth, meaning that no one at that time knew exactly where the Nile's source was. The Danube touches the Papal coat of arms, since it is the large river closest to Rome. And the Río de la Plata is sitting on a pile of coins, a symbol of the riches America could offer to Europe (the word plata means silver in Spanish). Also, the Río de la Plata looks scared by a snake, showing rich men's fear that their money could be stolen. Each is a river god, semi-prostrate, in awe of the central tower, epitomized by the slender Egyptian obelisk (built for the Roman Serapeum in AD 81), symbolizing by Papal power surmounted by the Pamphili symbol (dove). In addition, the fountain is a theater in the round, a spectacle of action, that can be strolled around. Water flows and splashes from a jagged and pierced mountainous disorder of travertine marble. A legend, common with tour-guides, is that Bernini positioned the cowering Rio de la Plata River as if the sculpture was fearing the facade of the church of Sant'Agnese by his rival Borromini could crumble against him; in fact, the fountain was completed several years before Borromini began work on the church.
The dynamic fusion of architecture and sculpture made this fountain revolutionary when compared to prior Roman projects, such as the stilted designs Acqua Felice and Paola by Fontana in Piazza San Bernardo (1585-87) or the customary embellished geometric floral-shaped basin below a jet of water such as the Fontanina in Piazza Campitelli (1589) by Giacomo della Porta.
Unveiling
he Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was unveiled to the populace of Rome on 12 June 1651. According to a report from the time, an event was organised to draw people to the Piazza Navona. Beforehand, wooden scaffolding, overlaid with curtains, had hidden the fountain, though probably not the obelisk, which would have given people an idea that something was being built, but the precise details were unknown. Once unveiled, the full majesty of the fountain would be apparent, which the celebrations were designed to advertise. The festival was paid for by the Pamphili family, to be specific, Innocent X, who had sponsored the erection of the fountain. The most conspicuous item on the Pamphili crest, an olive branch, was brandished by the performers who took part in the event.
The author of the report, Antonio Bernal, takes his readers through the hours leading up to the unveiling. The celebrations were announced by a woman, dressed as the allegorical character of Fame, being paraded around the streets of Rome on a carriage or float. She was sumptuously dressed, with wings attached to her back and a long trumpet in her hand. Bernal notes that "she went gracefully through all the streets and all the districts that are found among the seven hills of Rome, often blowing the round bronze [the trumpet], and urging everyone to make their way to that famous Piazza." A second carriage followed her; this time another woman was dressed as the allegorical figure of Curiosity. According to the report, she continued exhorting the people to go towards the piazza. Bernal describes the clamour and noise of the people as they discussed the upcoming event.
The report is actually less detailed about the process of publicly unveiling the fountain. However, it does give ample descriptions of the responses of the spectators who had gathered in the Piazza. Once there, Bernal notes, the citizens of the city were overwhelmed by the massive fountain, with its huge life-like figures. The report mentions the "enraptured souls" of the population, the fountain, which "gushes out a wealth of silvery treasures" causing "no little wonder" in the onlookers. Bernal then continues to describe the fountain, making continuous reference to the seeming naturalism of the figures and its astonishing effect on those in the piazza.
The making of the fountain was met by opposition by the people of Rome for several reasons. First, Innocent X had the fountain built at public expense during the intense famine of 1646-48. Throughout the construction of the fountain, the city murmurred and talk of riot was in the air. Pasquinade writers protested the construction of the fountain in September 1648 by attaching hand-written invectives on the stone blocks used to make the obelisk. These pasquinades read, "We do not want Obelisks and Fountains, It is bread that we want. Bread, Bread, Bread!" Innocent quickly had the authors arrested, and disguised spies patrol the Pasquino statue and Piazza Navona
The streetvendors of the market also opposed the construction of the fountain, as Innocent X expelled them from the piazza. The Pamphilij pope believed they detracted from the magnificence of the square. The vendors refused to move, and the papal police had to chase them from the piazza. Roman Jews, in particular, lamented the closing of the Navona, since they were allowed to sell used articles of clothing there at the Wednesday market.
Navona Square (Piazza Navona).
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Piazza Navona is a city square in Rome, Italy. It is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in first century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium.[1] The ancient Romans came there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is believed that over time the name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'.
Defined as a public space in the last years of 15th century, when the city market was transferred to it from the Campidoglio, the Piazza Navona is a significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art. It features sculptural and architectural creations: in the center stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi; and the Pamphilj palace also by Rainaldi and which features the gallery frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.
The Piazza Navona has two additional fountains: at the southern end is the Fontana del Moro with a basin and four Tritons sculpted by Giacomo della Porta (1575) to which, in 1673, Bernini added a statue of a Moor, or African, wrestling with a dolphin, and at the northern end is the Fountain of Neptune (1574) created by Giacomo della Porta. The statue of Neptune in the northern fountain, the work of Antonio Della Bitta, was added in 1878 to make that fountain more symmetrical with La Fontana del Moro in the south.
At the southwest end of the piazza is the ancient 'speaking' statue of Pasquino. Erected in 1501, Romans could leave lampoons or derogatory social commentary attached to the statue.
During its history, the piazza has hosted theatrical events and other ephemeral activities. From 1652 until 1866, when the festival was suppressed, it was flooded on every Saturday and Sunday in August in elaborate celebrations of the Pamphilj family. The pavement level was raised in the 19th century and the market was moved again in 1869 to the nearby Campo de' Fiori. A Christmas market is held in the piazza.
Other monuments on the Piazza Navona are:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Palazzo Braschi (Museo di Roma)
Sant'Agnese in Agone
Literature and films
The piazza is featured in Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons, in which the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi "The Fountain of the four rivers"(the Danube, the Gange, the Nile and the River Plate) is listed as one of the Altars of Science. During June 2008, Ron Howard directed several scenes of the film adaptation of Angels and Demons on the southern section of the Piazza Navona, featuring Tom Hanks.
The piazza is featured in several scenes of director Mike Nichols' 1970 adaptation of Joseph Heller's novel, Catch-22.
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was used in the 1990 film Coins in the Fountain. The characters threw coins into the fountain as they made wishes. The Trevi Fountain was used in the 1954 version of the film.
A Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi, é maior das três fontes, localizada no centro da praça. Na fonte dos rios, Bernini projetou quatro estátuas representando os rios dos quatro continentes: o Nilo, o Danúbio, o rio da Prata e o Ganges. As estátuas estão montadas sobre um obelisco egípcio, sendo circundadas por leões e outros animais fantásticos, tendo no cume uma pomba em bronze, símbolo da paz no mundo e da família Pamphili. Para realçar a rivalidade entre Bernini e Borromini, que fez a igreja de Santa Agnese, os romanos criaram uma lenda em torno da fonte dos rios, que fica em frente a esta igreja. Segundo os romanos, as estátuas duvidam da solidez do projeto de Borromini. A que retrata o rio da Prata, tem a mão erguida, a proteger o corpo do desabamento da igreja; a que retrata o Nilo, traz a cabeça coberta por um véu, a recusar a ver a obra de Borromini.
A seguir um texto, em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia Livre:
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios), foi esculpida por Gian Lorenzo Bernini entre 1648 e 1651, artista do barroco italiano, foi concebida por uma ordem do Papa Inocencio X o Papa da familia Pamphili, cujo tinha sua casa nesta praça.
Esta localizada na Praça de Navona, em Roma. Ela representa os quatro principais continentes do mundo cortados por seus principais rios: Rio Nilo, na África; Rio Ganges, na Ásia, Rio da Prata, na América e o Rio Danúbio, na Europa.
A seguir, texto em português do site Wiki lingue:
A escultura da Fonte dos Quatro Rios, encontra-se na Piazza Navona de Roma (Itália) e foi criada e talhada pelo escultor e pintor Gian Lorenzo Bernini em 1651 baixo o papado de Inocencio X, em plena época barroca, durante o período mais prolífico do genial artista e cerca da que em outro tempo fué a Chiesa dei San Giacomo de gli Spagnoli
A fonte compõe-se de uma base formada de uma grande piscina elíptica, coroada em seu centro de uma grande mole de mármol, sobre a qual se eleva um obelisco egípcio de época romana, o obelisco de Domiciano .
As estátuas que compõem a fonte, têm umas dimensões maiores que na realidade e são alegorias dos quatro rios principais da Terra (Nilo, Ganges, Danubio, Rio da Prata), a cada um deles em um dos continentes conhecidos na época. Na fonte a cada um destes rios está representado por um gigante de mármol .
As árvores e as plantas que emergem da água e que se encontram entre as rochas, também estão em uma escala maior que na realidade. Os animais e vegetales, gerados de uma natureza boa e útil, pertencem a espécies grandes e potentes (como o leão, cavalo, cocodrilo, serpente, dragão, etc.). O espectador, girando em torno da fonte, descobre novas formas que dantes estavam escondidas ou cobertas pela massa rocosa. Com esta obra, Bernini quer suscitar admiração em quem olha-a, criando um pequeno universo em movimento a imitação do espaço da realidade natural.
A fonte foi submetida a restauração, um trabalho que se deu por concluído em dezembro de 2008. Constitui um dos palcos finque da novela e o filme Anjos e Demónios, à qual é arrojado um dos cardeais sequestrados, e Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) se lança à água para lhe salvar.
Os animais da fonte
A fonte apresenta figuras de sete animais, além de uma pequena pomba e o emblema dos Pamphili. Para poder observá-las basta com dar uma volta ao redor da fonte. As figuras são: um cavalo, uma serpente de terra (na parte mais alta, cerca do obelisco), uma serpente de mar, um delfín (que funciona também como desagüe), um cocodrilo, um leão e um dragão. Notar também a vegetación esculpida que parece real.
Praça Navona.
A seguir, um texto em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia livre:
A Praça Navona (em italiano: Piazza Navona) é uma das mais célebres praças de Roma. A sua forma assemelha-se à dos antigos estádios da Roma Antiga, seguindo a planificação do Estádio de Domiciano (também denominado entre os italianos de Campomarzio, em virtude da natureza rude e esforçada dos exercícios - manejo de armas - e desportos atléticos que aí se realizavam). Albergaria até 20 mil espectadores sentados nas bancadas. A origem do nome deve-se ao nome pomposo que lhe foi dado ao tempo do Imperador Domiciano (imperador entre 81-96 d.c.): "Circo Agonístico" (do étimo grego Agonia, que significa precisamente - exercício, luta, combate). Actualmente o nome corresponde à corruptela da forma posterior in agone, depois nagone e finalmente navone, que por mero acaso significa também "grande navio" na língua italiana.
As casas que entretanto e com o passar dos anos foram sendo construídas sobre as bancadas, delimitariam e circunscreveriam até à actualidade o tão afamado Circo Agonístico.
A Navona passou de fato a caracterizar-se como praça nos últimos anos do século XV, quando o mercado da cidade foi transferido do Capitólio para aí. Foi remodelada para um estilo monumental por vontade do Papa Inocêncio X, da família Pamphili e é motivo de orgulho da cidade de Roma durante o período barroco. Sofreu intervenções de Gian Lorenzo Bernini (a famosa Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios, 1651) ao centro); de Francesco Borromini e Girolamo Gainaldi (a igreja de Sant'Agnese in Agone); e de Pietro de Cortona, que pintou a galeria no Palácio Pamphilj, sede da embaixada do Brasil na Itália desde 1920.
O mercado tradicional voltou a ser transferido em 1869 para o Campo de' Fiori, embora a praça mantenha também um papel fundamental em servir de palco para espectáculos de teatro e corridas de cavalos. A partir de 1652, em todos os Sábados e Domingos de Agosto, a praça tornava-se num lago para celebrar a própria família Pamphili.
A praça dispõe ainda duas outras fontes esculpidas por Giacomo della Porta - a Fontana di Nettuno (1574), na área norte da praça, e a Fontana del Moro (1576), na área sul.
Na extremidade norte da praça, por debaixo dos edifícios, foram postas a descoberto ruínas antiquíssimas, a uma cota muito abaixo da actual, comprovando a primeva utilização daquele imenso terreiro. Outros monumentos com entrada para a praça:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Curiosidades
Na Piazza Navona, está localizado o Palazzo Pamphilj, propriedade da República Federativa do Brasil, sede da Embaixada Brasileira e da Missão Diplomática do Brasil para a Itália.

The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc (Catalan: Font màgica de Montjuïc, Spanish: Fuente mágica de Montjuic) is a fountain located at the head of Avenida Maria Cristina in the Montjuïc neighborhood of Barcelona, Catalonia. The fountain is situated below the Palau Nacional on the Montjuïc hill and near the Plaça d'Espanya. The fountain, like most of the surrounding developments, was constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition.
The Magic Fountain was designed by Carles Buigas, who had designed illuminated fountains as early as 1922. The site where the fountain was constructed was the previous location of The Four Columns. The columns, representative of the Catalanism movement, were demolished in 1928 under the rule of Prime Minister Migel Primo de Rivera[1] and were re-erected in 2010 a few meters away from the original location.
Buigas submitted his design a year before the exhibition, with many calling the plan too ambitious, with too little time to complete. The construction project utilized over 3000 workers. The first show took place on May 19, 1929, the day before the start of the Exposition.[2] The fountain was badly damaged in the Spanish Civil War and did not operate until 1955, after Buigas oversaw needed repairs.

Focus range: 1-20m +inf
Shutter: rubberized silk double cloth curtain, horizontal focal plane, speeds: 1-1/1000 +B, setting: dial on the top plate, lift and set
Spring motor drive: a spring-powered mechanical motor and takes about 20 pictures after one full actuation of the spring, it is possible 3 frames per second if you can do it,
Attention: for every frame you must release the shutter. There's absolutely No way to advance film and to cock the shutter other than via the spring motor.
**There are engravings on the right side of the top plate as 0-5-10-15-20, with a pointer beneath the motor drive knob shows the count of frames that will be taken when the spring drive is cocking
Motor drive knob: a big knob on the right of the top plate, after setting, when you take a picture it automatically cocks the shutter and winds the film, film-advance spring in it
Shutter release: on the top plate, w/ cable release socket
Frame counter: an open window, just beside the motor drive knob, advance type, manual resets by a knob on the back of the top plate

Film loading: The film take-up system is unique as it ignores sprocket holes on 35mm film. Instead it winds the film onto a fat take-up spool like a drum. No account is taken of the increasing diameter of this spool as film is wound onto it, resulting in increasingly wide gaps between the frames on a roll. Modern automated negative cutting will not adjust for the unique frame layout, and negatives and slides must be ordered from labs uncut.
Tripod socket: 3/8’’
Strap lugs
Supporting leg on the bottom plate

serial no. 573581, first two digits show the manufacturing year, in the cold shoe
This type 1b is a rare one. With type 1a this camera is earliest so far known productional version of Leningrad.
Built very sturdily, and to a very high degree of precision (unlike most Soviet rangefinders), the Leningrad is said to be the most advanced (and expensive) Soviet rangefinder ever made. Many were given as presents to party members and visiting dignitaries. At the 1958 World Exposition in Brussels, the Leningrad was awarded the "Grand Prix de Bruxelles”. Modified Leningrads were used in the Soviet space program.
Note: If Leningrad suddenly decides not to advance the film after you've taken try turning the shutter speed dial slightly counterclockwise against spring tension, then letting it snap back. Often this will release the mechanism and let the film advance to the next frame. And since (as noted above) there's no alternate manual way to advance the film, you'd better hope this trick works!

Shot it at Kumbha Mela 2010.Its a greatest show on Earth.
In Hindu mythology, its origin is found in one of the popular creation myths and the Hindu theories on evolution, the Samudra manthan episode (Churning of the ocean of milk), which finds mention in the Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu Purana, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana.
The Gods had lost their strength, and to regain it, they thought of churning the Ksheera Sagara (primordial ocean of milk) for amrit (the nectar of immortality), this required them to make a temporary agreement with their arch enemies, the demons or Asuras, to work together with a promise of sharing the nectar equally thereafter. However, when the Kumbha (urn) containing the amrita appeared, a fight ensued. For twelve days and twelve nights (equivalent to twelve human years) the gods and demons fought in the sky for the pot of amrita. It is believed that during the battle, Lord Vishnu flew away with the Kumbha of elixir, and that is when drops of amrita fell at four places on earth: Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik, and that is where the Kumbh Mela is observed every twelve years.
First written evidence of the Kumbha Mela can be found in the accounts of Chinese traveller, Huan Tsang or Xuanzang (602 - 664 A.D.) who visited India in 629 -645 CE, during the reign of King Harshavardhana.

From the Port Adelaide National Railway Museum Web site:
Dieselisation of Australia's major railway systems got away to a slow start because of a lack of local builders capable of manufacturing this type of locomotive. Initially therefore orders were placed overseas, and it wasn't until 1951, when the Clyde Engineering Co., of Granville, NSW, gained the licence to build General Motors EMD locomotives for the Australian market.
Based on General Motors-EMD's F-7 model, the design for the local product required considerable modification to conform with Australian loading gauges and axle load restrictions. This job fell to Fred Shea who produced a machine with a carbody both lower and longer than its US counterpart. The resulting A-7 (ML1) model was highly successful and aesthetically pleasing. Also, whereas the North American units were carried on four-wheel bogies, the GMs required six-wheel bogies to distribute the weight for the lighter track then in use, the traction motors being mounted on the outer axles.
GM 1 underwent its road trials over New South Wales Railways' tracks on 24th August 1951 and, on its delivery run ran as far as Albury. At Bandiana it was transfered to broad-gauge bogies and hauled the rest of the way to Port Pirie where it was once more lifted onto its own bogies. It was placed in service on 20th September.
Originally the GM1-class was restricted to the Transcontinental route between Port Pirie and Kalgoorlie but, as the standard-gauge network expanded, they ranged further afield. Eventually they were to work in all mainland states except Queensland.
The success of Fred Shea's modifications to the original design can be gauged from the fact that variations of it were ordered by the Victorian Railways, New South Wales Railways and the North-Western Railway of Pakistan. All the GMs passed to the control of Australian National on 1st March 1978, and the first were not condemned until 1988. Most have had a lifespan well in excess of thirty years and only now are they being displaced by the more powerful DL and EL classes.

Traces
Traces of lives, which traces persist beyond memory.
Traces of a past in a superfluous note that resists the symptoms of time.
Traces of what was and that fortuitous coincidence of events still remains.
Traces inside and outside of those areas in which remote presences are among the dust and dirt, buying right to exist in a specific aesthetic dimension in which the prospect of decadence determines its ephemeral beauty.
-----------------------------------------------------
Tracce
Tracce di vite, tracce che persistono oltre la memoria dell’uomo.
Tracce di un passato superfluo in un presente che resiste ai sintomi del tempo.
Tracce di ciò che è stato e che per fortuita coincidenza degli eventi ancora permane.
Tracce all’interno e all’esterno di quegli spazi nel quale remote presenze si rivelano tra la polvere e lo sporco, acquistando ragione di esistere in una precisa dimensione estetica nel quale la prospettiva della decadenza ne determina la propria bellezza effimera.

This is actually a really old outfit which I completely retextured and added countless attachements to. It is unisex, has male/female skins, skirts for both, capes - one simple the other one more ornate, no less than 4 variations on the necklace (got a tad carried away there - hhh), torso, arm and leg ornaments, boots for boyz and gurlz, and a mohawk of course.

Day 17 - i thought i'd go outside and try to grab some pics of the moon. yeah. that's a little harder than i thought. i need to read up on what i was doing wrong. i just got a big blurry orb. so instead i decided to try a little light painting. this was my fourth photo out of four. it was about a ten second exp. im not sure if it was the full ten... my battery died either during this exposure or immediately after it. no flashes were used. i just used my trusty Energizer Hard Case Tactical Flashlight to paint the blue. the upper branches were painted by my neighbors security light.
on a side note - just found out i could do rear curtain sync with my cheapo triggers... not sure what im going to do with that, but at least i can do it if i want. this photo has nothing to do with that. i just thought i would share that out loud.
25 Octobre: cela fait plus de 3 semaines que plus de 150 familles dorment sur les trottoirs de la rue de la Banque, devant le Ministère de la Crise du Logement. Aujourd'hui, une délégation a été reçue par Christine Boutin, Ministre de la Ville et du Logement, mais sans résultat (apparemment, le Ministère aurait demandé une liste permettant d'identifier les familles les plus démunies afin de solutionner leur problème, mais l'ensemble des mal logés exigent une solution globale, et ont refusé cette offre).
Ici, une petite fille a l'air un peu triste ou fatiguée entre les tentes.
Merci de lire les explications en début d'album / Please read the explanations at the beginning of the set
Years ago, a friend told me a story from her childhood that I'd not heard before, and I think of it often. The story goes like this:
One morning, a little girl was looking across the valley from her house, admiring the beautiful golden windows on a house on the top of the hill.
"Mom," she said, "Do you see that house on the hill with golden windows? It must be so beautiful there, and the people who live there must be so wealthy! I'll bet they have no problems and their lives are filled with happiness every day. I wish OUR HOUSE had golden windows."
"Oh, darling," replied the mother, "no one's life is perfect. Even people who live in a house with golden windows."
"No, I think you are wrong! I want to go see for myself!" So the mother packed the daughter a lunch, and away the daughter went to cross the valley and see how wonderful life was for the people who lived in the house with golden windows.
The girl walked all day long. As she reached the bottom of the valley, she lost sight of the house but kept going. It was dusk by the time she reached the top of the other hill. But to her surprise, all she found was an ordinary house. She saw no golden ornaments, nothing that made the house look different or more special than any other house. The people looked ordinary, just like the people in her own family. She was puzzled.
Disappointed, she turned around to gaze at her own house across the valley she'd just crossed. And to her surprise, her house was ablaze with light. The windows shone with gold as the setting sun lit them up. In disbelief, she looked again at the ordinary house in front of her, then back to her house gleaming across the way.
"MY house has golden windows!" she said in amazement. She stood for a moment, struck by how beautiful her house looked from this side of the valley. She took off running back down the hill, eager to return to her family.
Morella, Castelló (Spain).
ENGLISH
This is the Catxo, the dungeon where Juan II of Aragón had prisoner his own son Carlos, Prince of Viana, in 1461.
***
The castle of Morella (Province of Castellón, Spain), constructed at the top of the town on the “Mola” taking advantage of the rock, is a fortification of 13th century of Islamic architecture with later reforms of medieval architecture. It consists of the square of arms (1,070 ms), the palace of the governor, the Rain tank, the tower of the Pardalea, retreats to the flight by where entered the Carlistas in 1838, prison of Cacho, rest of real palaces, towers of Tribute, and official pavilions, by where are passed different forms from civilization and cultures.
In the area of the castle they have appeared prehistoric rest, Iberian and Roman. After it reconquers it began the present walls and the dependencies that already existed were qualified for the Christian kings.
The castle is divided in three levels: a first level located in the lower part of the rock in which there is the entrance and the Palace of the Governor. In the second level the artillery batteries were located. And in the third level would be the castle itself. The lower part this surrounded by walls and towers, of which they are the majority semicircular, that arises from the west part in zigzag form.
The castle, in the upper part, underwent modifications in the war of Succession and during the carlistas wars, being bombed the celoquia tower in 1813. To this more elevated zone it is acceded through stairs, that had 90 steps of which 54 are conserved, that leads to a door that takes step to the square by a passage that ends at the square of arms.
In center of the same one is a rain tank of Roman time, on which there are a sentry box of 19th century and the rest of a guardhouse. In the South part are the rest of a construction composed by semibasement that communicated with the celoquia tower.
To the Southeast is the celoquia tower, that it was the Christian tower of the tribute. It was reformed in 13th century, according to documents of 18th century it has three plants, with vault the ground floor and first, with outer cover to four waters. It did not have stairs, and the interior communication was made by the adjacent buildings. It had in its cellar the chapel of Santa Barbara and Santa Magdalena until 18th century, then become a jail.

El castillo de Morella (Provincia de Castellón, España), construido en lo alto de la población sobre la "Mola" aprovechando la roca, es una fortificación del siglo XIII de arquitectura islámica con reformas posteriores de arquitectura medieval. Consta de la plaza de armas (1.070 m), el palacio del gobernador, el Aljibe, la torre de la Pardalea, retretas al vuelo por donde entraron en 1838 los Carlistas, prisión de Cacho, restos de palacios reales, torres de Homenaje, y pabellones oficiales, por donde han pasado diferentes formas de civilización y culturas.
En el área del castillo han aparecido restos prehistóricos, ibéricos y romanos. Tras la reconquista se iniciaron las actuales murallas y las dependencias que ya existían fueron habilitadas para los reyes cristianos.
El castillo se divide en tres niveles: un primer nivel situado en la parte inferior del peñón en el que se encuentras la entrada y el Palacio del Gobernador. En el segundo nivel se situaban las baterías de artillería. Y en el tercer nivel se encontraría el castillo propiamente dicho. La parte inferior esta rodeada de murallas y torres, de las cuales son la mayoría semicirculares, que surgen de la parte oeste en forma de zigzag.
El castillo, en la parte superior, sufrió modificaciones en la guerra de Sucesión y durante las guerras carlistas, siendo bombardeada la torre celoquia en 1813. A esta zona más elevada se accede a través de una escalera, que tenía 90 peldaños de los que se conservan 54, que conduce a una puerta que da paso a la plaza por un pasadizo que desemboca en la plaza de armas.
En el centro de la misma se encuentra un aljibe de época romana, sobre el que hay una garita del siglo XIX y los restos de un cuerpo de guardia. En la parte sur se encuentran los restos de una edificación compuesta por semisótano que se comunicaba con la torre celoquia.
Al sudeste se encuentra la torre celoquia, que fue la torre del homenaje cristiana. Fue reformada en el siglo XIII, según documentos del siglo XVIII tenia tres plantas, con bóveda la planta baja y la primera, con cubierta exterior a cuatro aguas. No tenía escalera, y la comunicación interior se realizaba por los edificios colindantes. Tuvo en su sótano la capilla de Santa Bárbara y Santa Magdalena hasta el siglo XVIII, luego paso a ser un calabozo.
Addendum: it seems the dream is running fast to an end . . . and it is a sad one
A dictator always says "My people!" as if it were a herd to be gathered in a stable, in fences, uses demagogy to get people's consensus and stops freedom of thought, speech, religion and condemns and punishes each diversity.
A wise chief of his state always addresses the free citizens that believed his non demagogist plan to preserve their freedom, and knows that diversities ar richness and fuel for freedom and democracy and protects them and promotes free debate, exchange and peaceful coexistence.
The boundary between Asia and Europe is almost everywhere uncertain, but in one place it's perfectly delineated: along the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles.
So Istanbul, that spans on both sides of Bosphorus Channel, is the only city in the world being subdivided in two continents.

Ein Planet am Balser Rhein, ganz in der Nähe der Münster Fähre. Was mich hier am Abend so fasziniert, ist die Sonne hinter der Kulisse des Münsters und Co. Dächer mit Lichtkronen. Und die Spiegelung im Wasser. Und dann hinter mir die besonnten Fassaden. Strahlend. Die besonnte Bank erwartet richtig, dass man sich darauf setzt, und die letzten Sonnenstrahlen genisst.
Dieses Panorama ist der dritte Versuch, von hier ein Polarpanorama zu erstellen. Dieses besteht aus etwa 84 Bildern in drei Reihen, einem Zenithbild und einem Nodarbild. Da ich weder mit der normalen als auch der belichtungsfusionierten stereografischen Projektion zufrieden war, baute ich es aus den einzelnen Belichtunsebenen auf der belichtungsfusionierten Ausgabe auf. Mit Gimp. Um die Übergänge der einzelnen Ebenen fein zu halten, benutzte ich im Radiererwerkzeug einen selbergebauten grossen stark verlaufenden Pinsel, mit 0 Prozent Transparenz in der Mitte und 100 Prozent ganz aussen.

After skirmishing with the Empire on OSSUS, Nathan and Ozz begin their search for the artifact called BALAAM'S HEART. On the mysterious world of DAGOBAH they find both knowledge and danger, and for Nathan, a grueling test of his spirit and will.
Nathan recoiled, slumping in his seat in the Lucky Star. He felt a sudden pang of anguish, a ripping in his soul, as spirits were separated from their bodies back on Ossus. He sensed it only faintly, but whatever caused the sensation was so powerful that it hit him with the force of a wave.
“Kid? Kid! What’s wrong!”
He felt Ozz shaking his shoulder as he drifted into unconsciousness, the strain too much to bear. When he finally woke, it was to Ozz’s worried, ugly face. Nathan stared, as though his eyes were trained on something hundreds of parsecs away.
“The Searchers are dead, Ozz. At least, I think so,” he coughed. “They killed them. Abay…all of them.”
Ozz asked how he knew this, but Nathan couldn’t explain. Finally, Ozz nodded and sighed. He believed him. He’d seen enough strange stuff by now that he wasn’t going to question this one.
They flew in silence for the next few hours.
After a brief stop for fuel (“That’s gonna be our last fill unless we start makin’ some money soon,” Ozz had complained) and the purchase of a few cheap blaster pistols, Nathan and Ozz were set to continue their search.
“I’ll need some coordinates if I’m gonna fly somewhere, Nate.”
Nathan had spent nearly all of the time since Ossus huddled in the bunk with Luke’s journal and the inscribed slates they’d found in the deep archives. He was a quick learner and a voracious student, and with the help of a few runes already translated in the journal, he was able to compile a mostly accurate key for unlocking the old tongue Balaam had used for his writings. He had no idea what it was, but it wasn’t pleasant.
The writings of Balaam were primarily daily accounts and impossible to understand musings, but they also mentioned 'home made among vines and home made among flame, whilst tethered mine soul to the dark lord wert'. Of all the planets Nathan could recall from Mayla's manifest, Dagobah was the one most likely to feature vines. At least, according to their gazette. It might just be a wild bantha chase, but it was worth a short.
The planet Dagobah came into view. It looked musty and small and remote. Sensors revealed it was entirely free of settlers, based on a lack of technology readings. But it was packed to the brim with life.
Nathan leaned over the dashboard controls with interest. "Take us in, Ozz."
"I know, I know..." said the Iakaru, rolling his eyes.
They dipped beneath a dense sea of cloud and Ozz pulled back hard on the throttle, easing them down into what was revealing itself to be a tangled, dark mass of trees.
Nathan felt the planet, just as he had felt Ossus. There, it had been the power, the war, and the secrets, but on Dagobah, he felt life. Wildness and strangeness, the circle of things. Not good, but not evil. Just very alive.
"This place gives me the willies," said Ozz, peering out the viewscreen. There wasn't much to see. It was mostly fog and the shapes of trees.
"I can see a weirdo like Balaam living here..." Nathan mused. "You don’t think he put the Heart here, do you?"
“Nah, that’d be giving me a break. Luck hasn’t done that in years.” He glanced around at the damp, dismal surroundings, his face scrunched with dread. “It ain’t gonna start on this planet.”
Ozz set the Lucky Star down on some alarmingly mushy ground, and powered down the craft. He turned to his companion and shrugged.
"Let's go find out, nerd. And hey, let's stick it to those Imps, ey? What happened on Ossus..."
Nathan understood. He clapped a hand on Ozz's shoulder. “I know.”
They gathered their equipment and trekked out into the woods. The sounds of a million living things filled the air. The smell of mildew and bog water floated up into their noses from underfoot. Tendrils of vine hung down around them from the twisting branches overhead.
"Yeah, this has got to be the place...now, Balaam's writings mention landmarks; the shores of the swamp, a grove of mushrooms, and a magic tree."
Ozz scanned the canopy with the barrel of his blaster. Something flew overhead. He jumped, but held his fire. "Yeesh! How do we know they're not on the other side of the planet?"
That was a possibility, one that tempted Nathan to despair. But he kept his hope.
"Honestly, I don't know," he admitted. "But...I don't think they are. I'm not sure why, but I've got a feeling."
The sounds of creatures and the dense foliage became obstacles they were unwilling to brave. Much to their disgust, this forced them to their only remaining option: the water. Nathan cajoled Ozz into joining him, which says something about the noises in the void of the woods and how they affected them both, that they were willing to wade chest-deep into opaque, smoky water.
"What's that smell?" Ozz groaned, the swamp water inches from his nose.
Nathan, who was miserable, gave him an incredulous look. They were soaked in oily, gunky swampwater, dragging at their clothes and limbs. Something in Nathan's mind considered what else could he dragging at his hands and legs, and images of tentacles and eels had to be forcibly pushed from his brain.
Then they saw the strangest thing.
The flicker of firelight.
They pointed it out to each other and squinted against the tepid mist. It was real.
Just as real, they discovered, were the two men sitting at the campfire, their leaning tents pitched feet away. Tall trees reaching down towards them with roots like cages.
A shore, Nathan thought. Then he remembered this planet had been on Mayla's list. These strangers could be Imperial spies.
Just as he was about to warn Ozz, one of the men called out.
"Hoy, there! I don't believe it -- people?"
"Wet, stinky people," Ozz replied. "You fellas mind if we come on up?"
The man and his companion smiled. "Please do!"
They were rescued from the swamp waters and joined the strangers around the fire. Wings beat the air above them. Something groaned in the water they'd just left. But the fire was safefy.
"We're pilgrims," explained one of the strangers, with an odd grin. "What about you?"
Nathan and Ozz looked at each other. Even Nathan wasn't willing to extend trust this time, not in a situation like this.
Ozz cleared his throat. "Err, real estate," he lied. "Nice planet like this, with no colonies? I don't get it!"
The 'pilgrims' looked at each other, then broke into laughter. "You're a funny guy. Thanks for cheering up the mood."
Nathan felt paralyzed. Fear danced at the corners of his brain, fear of what might happen if they dropped their guard. He thought about the blaster at his side, and if it would work after being submerged. If he should just shoot them both now. They had to be spies, right?
But no. That would be murder. He couldn’t do something like that. You can't just shoot someone for a suspicion. Reacting to a nebulous fear was never the right opening move, and it was wrong, he decided, to try to prevent the possibility of evil by doing something evil first. Besides, the Searchers were pilgrims, maybe these were similar types.
A glow nearby caught Nathan's attention.
Small blue spots of light scattered across the mossy ground, hidden in and among the roots of the trees.
A grove of mushrooms.
Balaam's second landmark.
He felt something pull at him, a force or energy that wanted him to come searching. It was irresistible, and clouded his mind in such a way that he forgot his fears of Imperials and treachery.
He stared long enough that one of the pilgrims caught him looking.
“What are you, uh, looking at there?” the man asked, watching him keenly.
"Oh, nothing,” Nathan said, emerging from his thoughts. “I thought I saw a...an animal, out there. It was nothing. I, uh, better just go check, though."
Ozz half-rose from his spot. "Want a second?"
And expose their backs? No. "No," he said, and he smiled reassuringly. "You keep resting. I'll be right back."
"Sure thing!" Said one of the pilgrims, and the other nodded silently.
Nathan caught Ozz's eye, and flicked his own towards the Iakaru's blaster. Ozz understood.
"I'll be right back," said the young man, who then walked deeper into the woods.
The sound of cracking fire faded into the distance as it was replaced by the hum of forest life. The mushrooms were just the start, they led him like a trail, becoming larger and wilder as he went. Finally, after chasing their path for several minutes, Nathan looked up to see the tree.
It was old. Its bark was like wrinkles, crevices in a face with no features. Its roots splayed out like enormous fingers that raked the ground. It seemed to heave with breath, to pulse, to live. Now in silence, Nathan found he was utterly alone with this ancient thing. The woods shrank back from it, as if from deference or fear. Nothing ventured close.
It beckoned him.
He felt it in his inward being. The draw.
A dark opening in its roots, like a doorway, stood open to him.
Nathan took hesitating steps. His spirit ached with restlessness, a need to see what was inside that burned and fried the edges of his nerves.
He entered the depths of the Magic Tree.
The hollow was dark.
He was alone in a den of soil. Fibrous sinew traced many-forked veins in the earth.
He felt a presence.
"Who's there?" He whispered.
"It's me, Nathan."
Mayla stepped out from behind a gnarl of root. She looked as he remembered. Sharper, even. Her bangs fell over her face, her dark eyes shone in the bare light. She walked with grace, poise, as if compensating for her stature.
"Why are you here?" She asked.
He wanted to reach out, to touch her cheek. "To...to stop the Empire. To save lives and find…something powerful."
He saw the disappointment in her face. The vulnerability, the openness that had drawn him to her in the first place.
"...I thought you were here for me?"
"I am!" He said quickly. "But...Mayla...I don't know how to find you."
She stepped closer and smiled. "I forgot, you think my name is 'Mayla'...that's okay. You've done everything so well, exactly as I wanted."
"Well, that manifest you left us has been our guide. That’s all thanks to you."
"Yes, it is. Just what was needed, right? I was always told I was resourceful."
Nathan stood a hesitant step back. His mind was swirling. Everything felt completely real, the question of how it could be happening seemed distant and foggy and not worth considering. His skepticism seemed to leave him, soaked into the walls of soil. But his reason wasn’t gone entirely, and her words started to raise flags, even in his currently-dim mind. "...What?"
"You've done just what we needed. You'll find what you seek, and the Empire will win."
Nathan started to speak, but she stepped closer, close enough to smell. She held up a finger to his lips, quieting him.
"I know you don't like that, but if you need a consolation prize...we can be together. It's the only way it'll work. Things will happen fast, Nathan."
The way she said his name made his heart flip.
"They'll happen so fast. That's how things happen, when change is coming. Your pilot will die, Syfot, some others...but you and me? We'll be alive, together, forever. And so many others, too. We'll give them safety," she said, and she winked. He could feel her breath as it mingled with the fog.
"I...want...you," she whispered, and his stomach fell. He stared at her eyes as they closed.
No.
"No," he murmured.
She leant forward, her lips parted.
"No," he repeated, and he stepped back. "You're not her," he said. "I don't want this."
Mayla's eyes flicked open, staring up into his. "You do. You want me, most of all," she smiled, her cheeks dimpling. "Remember what you gave up? Everything else -- everyone else --- was just a way of getting to me."
"No!" He stuttered, and he fell back, tripping on a root. "No, no, no!"
Her eyebrow curved. She frowned. "Nathan..."
"Not anymore!" He said. "No, I...I want to find you so bad, Mayla, but...this isn't just about you and me, not anymore. Things have changed. I'm not just in this for you anymore, I've got to…” He shook his head, trying to clear the fog. “…I’ve got to do what's right. I've got to stand up to these people. It's about the Searchers who died on Ossus, and Abay, and Jep, and...and...Ozz."
Nathan blinked, thinking of his friend. He had left his friend, his best friend, with the enemy.
"Ozz," he repeated.
"That monkey? You've got to be tired of being cooped up with that smelly, stupid thing. Trust me," she whispered, her fingers running up his arm. "I’m much better company than he is."
Nathan, eyes wide, said nothing. With all his strength of will, he pulled away, turned, and fled.
Nathan rushed through the woods. He heard screams. His name.
First from behind, in the voice of the girl he loved.
Then from the shore, echoing, hoarse, in the voice of Ozz Sabaran.
"NATE! NAAATE!" Followed by grunts and shrieks of pain.
Ozz.
The firelight flickered in the mist. A dark shape stepped into his path, weapon raised. The blood-red light of blaster fire struck a tree by his head, sparks and smoke burst from the impact.
Nathan was not afraid. He was not angry. He had to help his friend.
Desperate, he raised his hands.
His fingers curled with the warm mist.
Reached with the roots.
Stretched with the beating wings.
Stood with the soil.
He heard one of the pilgrims cry. The thrash of water and wet cloth and arms. Dragged from the shore, he disappeared beneath the surface.
The wildness of life beat like a drum in his ears.
The other pilgrim—Imperial spy—stumbled and entangled himself in the strong vines. Something seized him and pulled into the air, while he flailed his arms to try and break free of the tightening plants. The flying things took notice, their squawking growing agitated and hungry.
His cries ended abruptly, and the flailing stopped.
Nathan rushed to his friend's side. Ozz's leg was bent wrong, blood trickled from his mouth.
"Too...fast...for me," he choked.
Nathan hurried to tear a piece of tent, his hands shaking.
Ozz wiped his mouth. "What...was...?"
"I don't know," Nathan said shakily. "How about we never speak of it again? Kinda freaked out. Are you okay? I can't believe I left you here!” he cursed himself. “What’d they do?"
"Wanted...to know...what we knew. Turns out, they were spies. Can you believe it?" he said weakly, with a hint of irony.
"Your leg is broken," Nathan said gravely. "Rest here, I'm so sorry, Ozz."
"it's okay, kid, I'm alright. We Iakaru are tough sons of -- ouch!"
Nathan let the leg go, the bone now set.
"What was that?" Ozz winced.
"Oh, a trick from the orphanage. I didn't come up with it."
"Geez, rough orphanage.” Ozz shook his head, impressed and relieved. “See? Long as I got you around, I'll be right as rain. Thanks for the save, kid."
"I’ll try to be quicker next time,” Nathan said with a wry look. “Things got weird. Ozz, we have to get out of here."
"You're telling me. Did you uh, get the Heart thing?"
"I didn't get anything, but I found what we need. But I need your help. Will you…” He swallowed his pride, asking his friend openly, “please come with me? I'm...honestly, I’m afraid to go back alone."
Ozz grinned to himself, chuckling at the irony. "You need Ozzie? Even one-legged Ozzie?"
Nathan made a face. "What else is new?"
"Wanna hand me my blaster? I'm really raring for a hike. Gotta get this leg working, that’s the best thing for a hurtin’ leg.”
Nathan stood before the magic tree again, now with Ozz by his side, supported by an old branch.
Nathan had explained what he'd seen to Ozz, but despite Ozz's vigilant eye, nothing appeared from the shadows of the roots.
There was writing on the trunk of the tree. Nathan got as close as he dared. Ozz covered him with the blaster.
"Whatcha got? Anything useful?"
Nathan was scratching down notes in his notebook, thankful for the material Luke had chosen that had endured the bog.
"Coordinates in the Bark, half."
“Coordinates? Like, readable, usable coordinates?”
“Yeah, I guess it’s that simple. Maybe Balaam wasn’t so bad after all. Thanks, pal,” he said quietly to the carving.
"Simple! Ha! You telling me--"
Nathan grimaced. "—He hid the other half on a flame world? Yeah, guess it would be weird for things to get any easier."
Ozz sighed. "Yeesh, another planet with no payout. Can't wait to eat more grayweave..." He shrugged, and gave a lopsided grin to his scribbling companion.
Well, at least we won't get wet again...right, kid?"
Nathan grinned back at him, feeling very glad he was there to joke and lighten the terrible mood. There was no one he could think of he’d rather have by his side.
"Yeah. Right!"
The tree, unmoving, unknown, watched as they left, Nathan supporting Ozz as while he limped along. Soon, the Lucky Star left the atmosphere, and the ancient planet was unchanged for their visit. The roots still dug, the fog still swirled, and the creatures flew between the trees. And despite its appearance, everything was vibrant and alive.

RogueOlympics has started again, with the first prompt being "As Sweet as Sugar". Also an entry for the Sweet Scenes category of the Adorabuild contest on Bricknerd. I did not have any ideas early in the week, and then didn't have much time when the concept did come. Still had fun assembling this fantasy portrayal of the joy a parent experiences having fun with their kids. 89 parts were used.

About this shot
Especially for you I uploaded this in 1600 x 1000 pixels (about 1/3 of the orginal size) - hope you like it. Nobody believes me anymore when I say I'm afraid of heights! ;-)
This is the view from the Haagse Toren (known as 'Het Strijkijzer' or 'Flatiron', at 132m.
Its architecture was indeed inspired by the well known Flatiron building in New York. There was a *very* strong wind, and I battled a couple of showers on top, pfff!

Se no es el impresionismo de Monet, el usaba pinceles óleos y lienzos, pero…..
Como es sabido el color rojo es el tradicional del amor. Todo esto se relaciona con el clásico mensaje de un “Te quiero”, con una rosa, orquídeas, dalias o un largo etc. etc.
¿Pero y de las amapolas que se dice?
Yo prefiero asociar estas amapolas con esta mi reflexión:
En el campo, sola está la roja amapola, dos días de vida le ha otorgado la naturaleza para que sus hojas se marchiten y caigan al húmedo o seco suelo, ya sin vida ni consuelo.
Tristeza siento de ver morir a una amapola que su belleza florida me mostraba en mis paseos por el campo y ahora ya no es nada.
El viento ya se ha llevado mi flor; necesitaba verla; me daba vida y alegría, pues ella era toda poesía, ella era toda inocencia de una infancia; ella era………….. Una simple flor.

Dedicated to my friends on Flickr Tierra del Fuego.
It is not the impressionism of Monet, the oils used brushes and canvases, but ... ..
As you know the red is the traditional color of love. All this is related to the message of a classic "I love you" with a rose, orchids, dahlias and a long etcetera. etc.
But poppies and that is said?
I prefer to associate with these poppies is my reflection:
In the field, one is the red poppy, two days of life has given to the nature of their leaves wither and fall to the wet or dry soil, and without life or comfort.
I feel sad to see the death of a poppy beauty florida showed me in my walks through the countryside and now it is nothing.
The wind has already taken my flowers, I need to see him, gave me life and joy as she was all poetry, it was all an innocent child, she was ... ... ... ... .. A simple flower.
Si recorres sosegadamente las calles y plazas de La Alberca, te irás encontrando, viajero, con atractivos rincones y perspectivas, en los que resalta una arquitectura popular levantada a base de piedras y geométricos entramados de madera.
Destacan los dinteles cincelados con fechas de fundación de las casas, con inscripciones, signos y anagramas religiosos, que quieren ser profesión visible de fe.
Cada una de las plantas superiores va sobresaliendo sobre la inferior, hasta llegar casi a tocarse los aleros de los tejados de las casas que se hallan frente a frente, lo que hace que en las calles se produzca un curioso juego de luces y sombras.
Se ha dicho que la estructura urbana de La Alberca es la de una judería, por lo intrincado, laberíntico y secreto de sus calles. Pero tampoco han faltado quienes, al recorrer el pueblo, lo han asociado con los arrabales de Damasco.
La Alberca es así la unión, a lo largo de los siglos, de las culturas cristiana, islámica y judaica.
Y no debes, visitante, dejar de ver la Plaza, y de detenerte en ella. Con sus fachadas recorridas por dos series de balcones, con la luz de la cal, con sus soportales e hileras de columnas graníticas y con el crucero presidiéndola. Es, sin duda, el eje central de La Alberca.

10. Red Lodge, Montana
Set beside Yellowstone National Park in the wooded Beartooth Mountain foothills, Red Lodge is the toned-down Jackson alternative—complete with a smaller (and less intimidating) ski resort on its 9,416-foot signature peak. The town’s epic 71-mile Peaks to Prairie triathlon every April shows outsiders what they’re missing.

Note that I've been told to go back and mark my photos (the images included in my gallery show starting Feb 12, 2010) as mine to guard against the unscrupulous folks out there in the world around us... none of my Flickr friends/contacts fall into that category!

The first astrophotography test with the D700 was a mixed bag. On the one hand, shooting at ISO 3200 was excellent (my subs were only 15 seconds long, no guiding necessary!) and the result, even though only 2.5 hours worth of images, was very clean noise-wise (especially considering the amount of light pollution I was shooting in).
Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed to see that each bright source in the image had caused a series of bands that spanned the entire image. After a little research, I see that there are other D700 owners that have seen this issue shooting at high ISOs with blown highlights over a dark background (although most of what I found was at ISO 6400 and up). It's difficult to see the banding in each individual shot in the sequence but after adding them all up and stretching the histogram (to bring out the faint details in the image, galaxies etc.) the bands were sorely obvious. I might add that they were quite difficult to edit out too :)
If you're a D700 owner and reading this can you take a moment to leave a comment or send me a message regarding your experiences with banding on the D700? Thanks!

Shot it at GANGASAGAR Fair.
Gangasagar Mela(fair) is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal. This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. The river Ganga which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains at Haridwar, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites such as Benares and Prayag, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. Sagar Island, at the mouth of the river Hooghly in Bengal where the Ganga breaks up into hundreds of streams, and drains into the sea, is honored as a pilgrimage site.
A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga drains into the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius and this town becomes home to vast fairs, drawing visitors and recluses from all over the state. There is a common belief among the locals that the girls who take the holy dip get handsome grooms and the boys get beautiful brides. 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.

This afternoon I found this beatiful car, parked a few feet from my house.
This is actually the first 997 Turbo I've seen that was parked so freely as this one.
That gave the opportunity to shoot some nice pictures of this underrated supercar.
The 997 Turbo debuted in February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. It has a new front bumper with turn signals which are LED lights in a horizontal bar through the air intake. The fog lights are moved to the corners of the bumpers. Large air intakes in front of and behind the rear wheels are other obvious visual cues. The retractable rear wing is also one of the highlights, a feature which has been available on the 996 Turbo as well.
The engine is based on the rugged and very reliable 964/GT1 design rated 480 PS (350 kW; 470 hp) and 620 N·m (460 lb·ft). The turbocharger uses two-stage resonance intake system.
The BorgWarner's Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG), first variable geometry turbines introduced to street Porsche 911 cars, uses guide vanes located in front of the turbine wheel that modulates inflow angle and speed. Variable geometry turbines were previously only available to diesel engined vehicles, but a similar approach was used successfully by Garrett starting in 1989 with the Shelby CSX that utilized a computer controlled variable nozzles instead.
2009 Porsche 997 Turbo in Carrara WhiteThe optional Sport Chrono package allows 911 Turbo to overboost for 10 seconds, increasing peak torque over a narrow rev range. According to official Porsche figures, it accelerates 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds with the manual transmission, and 3.7 seconds with Tiptronic S transmission. It has also recorded a 60 mph (97 km/h) time of 3.2 seconds at the hands of US motoring publication Motor Trend, eclipsing all of its major competitors and even Porsche's own Carrera GT supercar. The 997 Turbo has an official top speed of 318 km/h (198 mph) and Jeremy Clarkson getting up to an indicated speed of 322 km/h (200 mph) during his 2008 video special, Clarkson: Thriller.
s it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
carry each other
carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
See we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on
To what you got
When all you've got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
One...

Can You hear us coming Lord
Can You hear us call
Feel us knocking
We're knocking at Your door

Progression of the Total Lunar Eclipse on 21 February 2008. These photos were taken over a period of 2 hours (3:30am to 5:30 am). We weren't fortunate enough to see the full recovery in Africa, since the sun rised before it was done. View Larger Version Here
Photos taken with a Canon 400D, a borrowed 100-400mm lens & two tripods (one for camera and one to support the lens). Photos taken in Shutter Priority, also used mirror lockup function and self timer. All the photos except for the red one was taken at 1/2000s exposure, the red one (fully eclipsed) was taken at 1s exposure.
The planetary shift was quite bothersome (especially if you're half asleep like I was).. I had to adjust the tripod approx. every 3 shots. It was definately all worth it though. The view through the lens was AMAZING - way better than with the naked eye.

Al salir de la Feria Cofrade del Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos observé lo que estaba sucediendo en el cielo, me acerqué un momento al Paseo Marítimo de Playamar en Torremolinos, Málaga, y esto fue lo que me encontré....
¡¡Feliz Martes de Nubes Para Tod@s!!
"Széchenyi lánchíd or Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849.
Its two ends are:
Roosevelt Square (with the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences), and
Adam Clark Square (the Zero Kilometer Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle).
The bridge is named after István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction. At the time of its construction, it counted as a wonder of the world. It had an enormous significance in the country's economics and life. Its decorations made of cast iron, and its construction, radiating calm dignity and balance, raised it among the most beautiful industrial monuments in Europe. It became a symbol of advancement, national awakening, and the linkage between East and West."

The story:
The traditional range of the Guaraní people includes what is now Paraguay, the Northeast of Argentina, southern Brazil and parts of Uruguay and Bolivia. They actually lived there before the countries and the frontiers existed.
The Guaraní Indians are deeply spiritual people and extremely silent. They talk minimum but their words are rich in images and expressions.
For the Guaraní, land is the origin of all life. For long, they have been searching for a place revealed to them by their ancestors where people live free from pain and suffering. A "land without Evil".
In the last century, the Guaraní have been affected by the loss of almost all their land. Especially in certain areas of Brazil.
Guaraní children starve and their leaders have been assassinated.
In Brazil, there are today around 46,000* Guaraní living in seven states, making them the country's most numerous tribe.

LISTEN TO TAPS as performed by SGM Woody English of the U.S. Army Band.
John was laid to rest last Jan 16. He was 90 years old who served with honor and pride in World War II. He is of Italian origin and Catholic. He was given a military honor during his burial.
Taps was played by the honor guard. There were 2 guards in attendance.
First time I attended a funeral with not so much people. It was just the family of John in attendance, one friend and our family. I think when you reach the age of 90, your friends are all in heaven waiting for you.
Her wife Antoinette, who received the flag from the guard, and 2 sons who are already in their 60s or 70s were left by John.
RIP John.

V rámci asociačného procesu Čiernej Hory k Európskej únii a finančnej podpory z nástroja Investičný rámec pre Západný Balkán (WBIF) prebiehajú v regióne rozsiahle projekty zamerané na modernizáciu infraštruktúry a propagáciu ekologickej dopravy. Súčasťou týchto aktivít je aj vizuálna prezentácia investícií EÚ priamo v železničnej prevádzke. Jednotka 6111.104/105/106 obdržala špeciálny celoplošný propagačný polep Európskej únie, ktorý ju premenil na výrazný "moving billboard" európskych projektov v Čiernej Hore. Polep nesie výrazné grafické motívy EÚ a slogany ako "EU za Crnu Goru" či "Na putu ka EU", ktoré odkazujú na proces európskej integrácie a modernizácie dopravnej infraštruktúry.
Tento "billboard" má silný komunikačný význam, keďže jeho cieľom je vizuálne demonštrovať prínosy európskych fondov pre verejnosť a zdôrazniť investície do udržateľnej mobility a železničnej dopravy. Projekt je súčasťou širšej modernizácie železničnej infraštruktúry v Čiernej Hore, kde Európska únia spoločne s Európskou investičnou bankou (EIB) schválila financovanie vo výške približne 175 miliónov EUR na rekonštrukciu kľúčovej trate Bar–Golubovci, ktorá tvorí dôležitú spojnicu medzi pobrežím a vnútrozemím krajiny.
K oficiálnemu uvedeniu tejto kampane došlo v decembri 2025 na hlavnej stanici v Podgorici. Autor zdokumentoval jednotku dňa 11. júna 2026 ako vlak P 6157 [Podgorica–Bar] pred zastávkou Aerodrom. Fotografia zachytáva jednotku v bežnej prevádzke po jej poškodení v dôsledku vandalizmu, čo bohužiaľ posledné roky (hlavne od pandémie Covidu-19) je na miestne pomery viac než typické.
Aquí va entonces otra toma de este día particular en el cual el cielo tenía aires de fin del mundo.. :P
Esta fue tomada en el Salar de Atacama hace mas de 3 años ya.. Estábamos buscando el lugar de descanso de los flamencos!
Une autre du désert d'Atacama. Cette fois-ci au Salar d'Atacama à la recherche du lieu de repos des flamands roses.
Hope you like this other "divine light", shower of rays kind of picture!!
And a chance to give my "old buddy" Pana FZ50 a second life!! Cheers! =)
