Today is my six month flickr anniversary. When I mentioned this to my wife, her raised eyebrow and glance towards an iron skillet nearly had me running out the door. Everything was fine once I explained that she didn't have a digital readout on her forehead.
I have greatly enjoyed being a part of the flickr community. Seeing the world through your eyes has been a wonderful experience. There is a great deal of talent and beauty here on flickr. I'd also like to think that some of that has rubbed off on me since joining flickr.
Thank you for sharing your masterpieces, treasured family photos, discussion, and tips and tricks! And thank you to the flickr founders for providing this abode for our community.
Almost forgot, does anyone know of any NW Indiana flickr 12 step programs? ;-)

La ameba Nebela protege su cuerpo dentro de un cascarón fuertemente comprimido en forma de gota y ese cascarón guarda las cicatrices de granos de sílice y fragmentos de diatomeas que dibujan sobre él un retículo fino y único como la huella dactilar.
La ameba Nebela desparrama sus brazos en el agua abriéndose en ella y abrazándola como gruesas raíces móviles que se funden y desaparecen para volver a surgir en mil formas diferentes. Delicada, Nebela tantea el agua, también la superficie pastosa del fondo de las lagunas o los bordes suaves y verdes de los musgos buscando su sustento de pequeñas algas o restos orgánicos.
La puerta de la casa de Nebela tiene forma de estrecho ojal y por él, como los brazos de un río pasan sus brazos buscando en viaje de ida y trayendo alimento en viaje de vuelta. Cerca flotan algunas algas verdes, un pequeño Staurastrum y un Cosmarium de mitades redondeadas, quizáCosmarium contractum que confiados observan el desperezar de esos brazos líquidos e invisibles que pueden robarle sus vidas.
La fotografía, tomada 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferncia, procede de unas muestras recogidas hace un mes en la Laguna Negra de Neila.

It was chaos in our living room. Most of the family was there, and we're not a quiet bunch. Everyone's a communicator and everyone was communicating. The adults were involved in several conversations at once. Our two young grandsons were playing with -- let's call it enthusiasm -- maybe hoping to command a little attention. Surveying the uproar in our living room, I suddenly noticed a precious scene in the corner. It was our son with his dark-haired infant daughter, sprawled peacefully in her Daddy's arms. First they had been cheek to cheek, then she just simply fell asleep, oblivious to the storm around her, and safe in her Daddy's arms.
Our granddaughter felt safe, not because she wasn't in the middle of chaos -- believe me, she was -- but because of the security she has being in her Father's arms. It's a kind of security maybe you can only wish for right now because everything around you is up for grabs. Divorce can do that. A bad report from the doctor can do that, losing your job, losing someone you love, facing some frightening unknowns -- so many upheavals that can stress us, scare us, sink us. They remind us of a search we've been all our whole life -- the search for a safe place, no matter how out of control things around us may become -- the search for peace.
That search will not end until you are safe in your Father's arms -- Heavenly Father, that is. You weren't made to navigate life's white water alone. You were made for an intimate, trusting love relationship with the God who created you. The peace we need so badly is exactly what Jesus Christ promised to every person who belongs to Him. In John 14:27, our word for today from the Word of God, Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Let those words sink into your storm-battered soul. "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you." That peace is within your reach this very day.
The peace that may have eluded you your whole life is within your reach today. It's peace that can only be found, that can always be found, in your Daddy's arms.

It’s all for God.
Not only were you created by God; you were
created for him, too. The ultimate goal of the
universe is to show the glory of God. It is the
reason for everything that exists, including
you. God made it all for his glory. Without
God’s glory, there would be nothing.
What is the glory of God? It is who God is.
It is his nature, his character, and his power.
Where is the glory of God? Just look around.
Everything created by God reflects his glory in
some way. We see it everywhere, from the most
microscopic form of life to the vast Milky Way,
from sunsets and stars to storms and seasons.
Creation reveals our Creator’s glory. You can
learn a lot about God’s character just by
looking around. Through nature we learn that
God is powerful, that he enjoys variety, loves
beauty, is organized, and is wise and creative.
The Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory of
God.”

Apenas un trazo alargado y en forma de arco, hacen un leve rasguño en las gotas. Dibujan así los finos contornos de esta alga aguja que en su navegar pausado va cosiendo el agua con tenues suturas sin dejar ni
rastro de una cicatriz. discretamente como pidiendo disculpas se esconde en el río calmado dentro de su delgadez.
Y es que a diferencia de otras algas hermanas de esta familia de los désmidos que parecen lucir orgullosas su cuerpo de estrella como Euastrum, Micrasterias o Staurastrum, etc. en aguas que son de cristal Closterium aciculare marca sobre el agua su raya tenue y profunda belleza arañando a cualquier masa de agua herida por la contaminación
Al igual que muchos otros désmidos Closterium aciculare presenta unas marcadas señas de identidad que no sólo se quedan en su apariencia, la gran superficie de su cuerpo la mantiene a flote con suma facilidad de tal manera que aún en zonas de corriente y oleaje siempre toma el sol en primera línea de agua. como alga fundamentalmente planctónica que es.
Pero quizá lo que más sorprenda de esta especie es algo que no se ve y que tiene que ver con su nutrición. Closterium aciculare es una especie que vive en medios eutrofizados y para poder vivir bien y reproducirse necesita amonio en el agua y no se conforma como sus hermanas con el simple nitrógeno, N2, lo necesita arropado con cuatro átomos de hidrógeno y tomarse así ese plato combinado del amonio, NH4 sin cuya presencia su vida no sería posible.
Closterium aciculare es esbelta y bastante especial, y mientras sus hermanas viven en aguas pobres en materia orgánica, ella requiere todo lo contrario y una buena ración de amonio. Pocas algas lo pueden metabolizar pero esta especie, a costa de su esbeltez lo consigue, devolviendo un agua limpia, haciendo así su suave cirugía reparadora.

Making a tribute for my dear friend Beate is like “eine harte Nuss knacken” which translates into English as “a tough nut to crack”. This has nothing to do with her wonderful personality – I tell you about this later – it refers only to finding the right picture for her as she is such a talented and versatile photographer showing us so many different moods, motifs and styles. But I have my special tools: www.flickr.com/photos/fotony/3258574567/.
So we soon come to the first of Beate’s passions: Taking wonderful pictures of all kinds of lovely objects like Murmeln www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4054772442/in/set-721576226... (funny), shells www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4322952494/in/set-721576232... and memory cards www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4294970689/in/set-721576232... . An absolute hit was here stunning nightly yellow phone box making it to the front page of Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4255740459/in/set-721576232... and having more than 100 fav stars now!!!!
Something else Beate loves to do are blurry and fuzzy pictures like this one www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/3948085395/in/set-721576229... or showing us most amazing shadows and lights www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4194141332/in/set-721576224... .
Most of all I think Beate is interested in people and you find some wonderful portraits in her stream www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4100309979/in/set-721576225... . A must you have to see is her recent album about people in carnival www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/sets/72157623447834238/ . Really one picture better than the other showing the human joyful side of life.
And now to Beate herself. There are many reasons for being lucky to having Beate as a contact or friend. First of all she loves to comment, moreover she is always extremely fast in commenting. Then she’s got lots of humor on the one side but she is a also a very deep thinking person on the other side as well. She loves reading poetry and adds very thoughtful rhymes underneath her pictures. When living in Europe and you can’t sleep very well at night Beate will be there for you as she is working at night in a home for disabled people. I am sure they love her in her working place. The experiences Beate is making there are also reflected in her pictures as they vary from pure joy www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4396102725/in/set-721576233... to vulnerability and defense www.flickr.com/photos/_beate_/4356014566/in/set-721576233... .
So Beate today is special day for you: Happy Birthday – Alles, alles Liebe und Gute von der Flickr-Gemeinde!!! Maybe you can see the line in the sky on my picture over Bavarian fairytale landscape. Actually I told the pilot to make a heart in the sky. But he said he’s got his flying licence for just six months and it is too early for these kind of things. But the line is nice too as it perfectly symbolizes your wonderful Flickr-stream !!!!

We had an easy bike ride to UBC on the overcast Sunday. I saw great colors in the sky on our way back home around 1 hour before sunset, so I decided to pay a visit to Lost Lagoon for sunset watch... The sunset colours are a bid disappointing due to thicker than expected clouds, but I do like the twilight colours here!

You better not fool with a Bumblebee!—
Ef you don't think they can sting—you'll see!
They're lazy to look at, an' kind o' go
Buzzin' an' bummin' aroun' so slow,
An' ac' so slouchy an' all fagged out,
Danglin' their legs as they drone about
The hollyhawks 'at they can't climb in
'Ithout ist a-tumble-un out ag'in!
Wunst I watched one climb clean 'way
In a jimson-blossom, I did, one day,—
An' I ist grabbed it — an' nen let go—
An' "Ooh-ooh! Honey! I told ye so!"
Says The Raggedy Man; an' he ist run
An' pullt out the stinger, an' don't laugh none,
An' says: "They has be'n folks, I guess,
'At thought I wuz predjudust, more er less,—

Catedral de Santa María - Murcia (Spain).
ENGLISH
The Cathedral Church of Saint Mary in Murcia (Spanish: Iglesia Catedral de Santa María en Murcia), commonly called the Cathedral of Murcia, is an important landmark in the city of Murcia, Spain, and it is the only cathedral in use in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cartagena in Spain.
The bell tower, built between 1521 and 1791, measures 90 meters of height (95 meters with the weathervane). Is the city's tallest building. The width of the five subsequent bodies that compose it are different. The tower has also a conjunction of different styles:
- The first stage, made by Francisco and Jacobo Florentino, has a square plant with Renaissance style and ornamentation from the Hispanic Plateresc.
- The second body, made by Jerónimo Quijano, has the same style but it is more purist.
- The third floor, with Baroque style, has the body with Rococó style and the cupola, drawn up by Ventura Rodríguez, with Neoclassic style.
- In the fourth body the conjuratories are emphasized. In them the storms were sworn with the Lignum Crucis.
There are twenty-five bells, all of the 17th century and the 18th century. Each has its own name:
- The Bell of the Spells
- La Catalana
- The Bell of Prayer
- La Fuensanta
- The Conception
- La Segundilla
- The greater or Agueda-Martillo, which is the main bell
- etc…
They have also served to announce the tremendous floods of the Segura River, wars, celebrations, and festivities. Only one bell is previous to all the rest of them (14th century), la Campana Mora(the moor bell), and it is being kept in the Museum of Arts of Murcia.

CASTELLANO
La Iglesia Catedral de Santa María más conocida como Catedral de Murcia es el templo principal y sede de la Diócesis de Cartagena. Se encuentra en pleno casco antiguo de la ciudad de Murcia.
La Torre-Campanario, construida de 1521 a 1793, mide 90 metros (95 con la veleta), siendo distinta la anchura de los cinco cuerpos que la componen. Es una conjunción de estilos diferentes:
- El primer cuerpo, realizado por Francisco y Jacobo Florentino, es de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista con ornamentación del plateresco hispano. En su interior se aloja la Sacristía Mayor.
- El segundo cuerpo fue realizado por Jerónimo Quijano y es del mismo estilo pero siguiendo líneas más puristas; se concluyeron las obras en 1555, quedando paralizadas a este nivel durante más de dos siglos.
- El tercer cuerpo, donde se aloja el reloj, empezó a levantarse en 1765 ya bajo los cánones del barroco y teniendo como director a José López.
- En el cuarto cuerpo destacan los conjuratorios, cuatro templetes coronados por cúpulas piramidales y las efigies de los santos Fulgencio, Leandro, Isidoro y Florentina. En ellos se conjuraban las tormentas con la reliquia del Lignum Crucis que se conserva en la Catedral.
- El quinto cuerpo, de estilo rococó, corresponde al campanario.
- Corona el conjunto la airosa cúpula trazada por Ventura Rodríguez, de estilo neoclásico, culminándose finalmente con la linterna en 1793.
La torre de la catedral es el símbolo indiscutible de Murcia, elevándose sobre toda la ciudad y la Huerta circundante como su más alta y emblemática construcción.
Las Campanas de la Torre suman un total de venticinco, todas del siglo XVII y XVIII, y cada una con su nombre:
- Águeda, o campana mayor
- la de los Conjuros
- la del Alba
- la Catalana
- la de la Oración
- la Segundilla
- la Benedicta
- Martiri Christi
- Santa María
- Fuensanta
- Concepción
- Nuestra Señora de Belén
- San Patricio
- San Fulgencio
- San Leandro
- San Isidoro
- Santa Florentina
- etc.
Han servido para anunciar las tremendas riadas del río Segura, guerras, celebraciones y festividades. Actualmente se mantienen muchos de sus toques tradicionales, recuperados como un elemento patrimonial más de la catedral y de la propia ciudad. Sólo una campana es anterior al resto (siglo XIV): es la llamada Mora y está considerada como la más antigua de España; hace unos años fue bajada de la torre y depositada en el Museo de la Catedral.

A lot of people have asked what comes next.
The answer? We don't know any better than you do.
I know that I met this amazing, funny, sweet person, and I'm completely wild over her. That I've had her in every minute of my life for the last week, and that every minute felt right. And that tomorrow everything changes.
After that?
I really can't say. I wish I knew. Really, we're taking it minute by minute and sometimes it feels like we're spinning out of control.
We say our strange goodbyes and go back to phonecalls and webcams - the technologies that once seemed fresh and exciting are a step backward; a step apart. It's going to be hard. I know that much.
I'm hoping a California trip is in the cards.
But I can only see as far as Monday. School begins. Xelia will be gone. We're left with memories and marks; a cold spot in the bed where someone is missing.

Lanuza, Huesca (Spain).
I was driving on the road that borders the marsh, and I could not resist.
Iba yo conduciendo por la carretera que bordea el pantano, y no pude resistirme.
ENGLISH
Lanuza is a small village located in the Pyrenean of Huesca, Aragón, Spain. It is in the left border of the marsh to which it gives name, in that dam up waters of the Gállego river. Lanuza belongs to the municipal term of Sallent de Gállego, in the region of High Gállego.
The name of Lanuza seems to derive from the latinized celtic term moor or wool, that means “slope”, occurring the circumstance that the surrounding place to the town (today submerged) was in its day occupied by extensive prairies and grass. Its existence appears documented from 13th century and in 1488 already it counted on 20 homes. Along with Sallent, it formed one of the three historical "quiñones" in which the Valley of Tena was divided administratively.
Prosperously and eminently cattle dealer in her origins, the construction of the dam in 1976 caused the gradual and forced unhabitation of the locality until being vacated completely in 1978. Victim of plunder and the abandonment, in the decade of the 90 old inhabitants was able to recover the not submerged properties and initiate a revitalization process still active.
----------------------------
CASTELLANO
Lanuza es una pequeña localidad situada en el Pirineo oscense, Aragón, España. Se encuentra en la orilla izquierda del pantano al que da nombre, en el que se embalsan las aguas del río Gállego. Lanuza pertenece al término municipal de Sallent de Gállego, en la comarca del Alto Gállego.
El nombre de Lanuza parece derivar del término celta latinizado landa o lana, que significa "ladera", dándose la circunstancia de que el paraje circundante al pueblo (hoy sumergido) estuvo en su día ocupado por extensas praderas y pastos. Su existencia aparece documentada desde el siglo XIII y en 1488 ya contaba con 20 hogares. Junto con Sallent, formaba uno de los tres históricos quiñones en los que se dividía administrativamente el Valle de Tena.
Próspera y eminentemente ganadera en sus orígenes, la construcción del embalse en 1976 provocó el paulatino y forzado despoblamiento de la localidad hasta quedar completamente deshabitada en 1978. Víctima del expolio y el abandono, en la década de los 90 los antiguos moradores consiguieron recuperar las propiedades no sumergidas e iniciaron un proceso de revitalización que sigue activo.

Besalú is a town in the Garrotxa region, located at 150 metre above sea level, covering an area of 4.81 km2. Bisuldunum, as its origins suggest, was a fortress between two rivers: the Fluvià in the south and the Capellades in the north. Well communicated, Besalú is located at the meeting point of three regions: Alt Empordà, Pla de l'estany and Garrotxa. Besalú began to gain importance as the capital of an independent county following the death of Guifré el Pilós (902); It lost this status with the death of Bernat III- son-in-law of Ramon Berenguer III- leaving no suvirvors. As a result, Besalú became part of Barcelona. In 1966, it was declared a "National Historic-Artistic Ensemble" due to its high architectural value.
Castellano
La importancia monumental de Besalú viene determinada fundamentalmente por su gran valor como conjunto arquitectónico, su unidad artística lo convierte en una de las muestras más importantes y singulares de los conjuntos medievales en Cataluña.
Encontramos el orígenes de la Villa en el castillo documentado en el siglo X y situado en lo alto de la pequeña colina de Santa María donde actualmente se encuentran los restos de la colegiata que lleva el mismo nombre. El hecho de encontrar la fortaleza en este emplazamiento es debido a la situación estratégica en el cruce de tres comunicaciones importantísimas en el periodo medieval : el camino de Olot hacia el pirineo, el camino de Figueres hacia el mar, el camino a Girona, capital del Obispado.
La existencia actual de importantes edificios Medievales hace posible una interesantisima lectura sobre la urbanización en la edad media, Besalú deja entrever una estructura arquitectónica y urbanística bastante coherente aunque con las consiguientes contradicciones que supone el largo proceso de construcción y evolución. Aunque los orígenes de Besalú se remontan a íberos y celtas : Bisuldunum ( fortaleza entre dos aguas) y destacando el paso de los romanos por nuestro enclave (centro arqueológico de la Devesa), el periodo más profundo, más importante transcurre durante los siglos X,XI y XII. A partir de la conquista de Girona por los carolingios (785)cuando los reyes francos encomiendan la administración de su territorio a la figura del conde, nombrado por el rey, que podía ser revocado de su cargo si el monarca así lo decidía. Doce fueron los condes de Besalú a partir de Guifredo el velloso (902) hasta Bernardo III (1111). Cabe destacar a Bernardo I Tallaferro (1020) como figura clave en el desarrollo y evolución histórica de la Villa.
Cabe destacar la convivencia de dos culturas: judíos y cristianos, puesto que hasta iniciado el siglo XV tuvieron una vida en común. Muchos fueron los médicos judíos de Besalú, algunos actuaron como médicos en la corte real e hicieron tratados sobre la peste negra .

El Neri y Bonacini Nembo GT.
El pequeño "Miura a escala" no entró en producción
1966 fue un año muy importante en la escena del coche deportivo italiano. El nuevo Lamborghini Miura representó una verdadera revolución y que sacudió a los principios técnicos de la época. El motor fue trasladado al centro del coche (detrás del conductor), siguiendo el diseño mecánico utilizado por los coches de Fórmula 1 que introdujo esta característica a finales de 1950. El Miura, sin embargo, tenía un motor montado transversalmente.
En realidad, el ATS 2500 GT y el De Tomaso Vallelunga fueron los primeros coches italianos con motor central, pero eran modelos poco comunes que se producen en pequeñas cantidades y que no influyen en el mercado como el Lamborghini.
Neri y Bonacini, dos expertos de coches deportivos.
El debut de Lamborghini Miura inspiró un nuevo coche deportivo con características similares, pero a pequeña escala. Alguien dijo igual que un "pequeño Miura", ...
Los hombres detrás del proyecto fueron conocidos personalidades del mundo deportivo: Giorgio Neri y Bonacini Luciano.
Ambos eran ex trabajadores de la escudería Maserati y establecieron un centro de proyectos, Carrozzeria Neri y Bonacini. Ellos estaban acostumbrados a trabajar en los coches exóticos como el Ferrari 250 Breadvan que corrió por la Scuderia Serenissima o el Strale Daytona 6000 GT, un solo ejemplar esta vez sobre la base de la Iso Rivolta GT encargado por un concesionario de automóviles de lujo.
Después de pasar años trabajando para otras fábricas, en 1966 Neri y Bonacini trataron de construir un coche nuevo que se vende con su marca registrada Nembo, una especie de acrónimo de los apellidos. La principal característica del nuevo coche es el diseño del motor, ya que tienen las nuevas tendencias técnicas.
La década de 1960 fueron la época dorada de los coches deportivos italianos - las cosas cambiaron drásticamente después de la crisis del petróleo 1973 - así Neri y Bonacini asumieron que un pequeño GranTurismo fue un coche éxito y se desarrolló en el Nembo GT.
Chasis estrenar y motor boxer Lancia Flavia
El Nembo GT tenía un chasis monocasco emparejado con el frente y chasis de bastidor auxiliar trasero. La carrocería estaba hecha de aluminio y tenía algunas semejanzas con otros coches. Fue muy probablemente inspirado en el Miura, sobre todo en la parte trasera: los guardabarros, la ventana trasera y la rejilla negra en el panel trasero fue muy cerca de la Lamborghini.
Por otro lado, el Nembo GT podría ser anterior algunos de los rasgos estilísticos de la AMC AMX / 3, un prototipo 1970 auto deportivo americano que no pasó en la producción. Después de todo, el nuevo coche italiano tenía buena pinta, una excepción de la larga distancia entre ejes, que parecía un poco fuera de proporción.
Una de las características más específicas de la Nembo GT fue el motor. Neri y Bonacini eligieron el boxeador de 4 cilindros del Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato. Equipado con carburadores dobles, tenía una potencia máxima de 105 CV. Gracias a su bajo peso (menos de 1800 libras), el coche tenía impresionantes funciones y una velocidad máxima de 125 mph.
El motor boxer permite un centro de gravedad más bajo y podemos suponer que el coche tenía un muy buen manejo. El Lancia Flavia era un coche de tracción delantera con motor longitudinal, por lo tanto, los semiejes directamente exactos la misma longitud. Así que el motor simplemente estaba instalado en el centro del coche sin grandes modificaciones, la caja de cambios se orientó hacia la parte trasera.
Sólo dos coches se construyeron como prototipos
El primer Nembo GT era un coche de pruebas y tenía solo ajuste esencial. La carrocería no tenía la pintura, con paneles de aluminio desnudos.
Este coche tenía faros colocados en la parrilla delantera. Las luces traseras eran muy grandes, pero probablemente fueron compuestas por muchas pequeñas luces colocadas de lado a lado. En ambos casos, el fabricante puede tener muchas piezas producidas en serie, fácil de encontrar y de bajo costo.
El segundo coche recibió algunas mejoras y fue un poco más cómodo, casi listo para una pequeña producción en serie. El habitáculo parecía bastante simple, pero el equipamiento de la serie del coche ofreció una radio con un altavoz entre los asientos y el suelo estaba cubierto de moqueta.
También la carrocería fue mejorada y ahora el coche tenía los faros delanteros emergentes, mientras que las luces traseras eran las mismas que utilizaba el sedán Alfa Romeo Giulia, fácilmente adaptable y disponible como repuestos comunes.
Sólo la pintura era extraña: el segundo Nembo GT tuvo una librea roja con demasiadas rayas decorativas y umbrales de las puertas negras.
Además de la pintura cuestionable, el Nembo GT cumplió con todos los requisitos para convertirse en un coche de producción regular y el suministro de motores para el tema principal. Al principio parecía solo una formalidad, pero se convirtió en la razón de que fallara la fabricación en serie Nembo GT.
Lancia no estaba de acuerdo para suministrar el motor Flavia, por lo que Neri y Bonacini dejaron su trabajo porque era un obstáculo insuperable para un pequeño fabricante de este tipo. Su sueño de construir un coche deportivo terminado y la planta de carrocería cerró poco después.
Neri fue a la fábrica Piero Drogo, mientras que Bonacini se trasladó a De Tomaso.
Un proyecto muy interesante que se truncó demasiado pronto
Las razones por las que Lancia rechazo abastecer el proyecto no eran claras. Podemos suponer que la petición de Neri y Bonacini llegó en el momento equivocado: Lancia estaba en un punto de inflexión y solo dos años más tarde fue adquirida por Fiat. Probablemente, la decisión no fue influenciada por razones de mercadotecnia, ya que un coche deportivo hecho en pequeñas cantidades no podría ser un competidor para los coches Lancia.
Tanto el Nembo GT todavía existe hoy y que no fueron tan difíciles o desecharse, con los años, pero fue un triste final para un coche con un gran potencial.
Curiosamente, Neri y Bonacini encontraron una circunstancia similar a pocos años antes. En 1964 se diseñó el chasis de bastidor para el Cóndor Aguzzoli, un deportivo con motor central equipado con el motor de Alfa Romeo Giulietta, que era muy avanzado para la época.
Éramos grandes expectativas para este coche y entramos en algunas carreras impulsadas por conductores expertos como Ernesto "Tino" Brambilla, uno de los protagonistas del campeonato de F3 italiana muy competitivo. Los propietarios contaban con la ayuda técnica de la propia Alfa Romeo, pero el fabricante Milanese estaba ocupado con el desarrollo Giulia TZ. A pesar del potencial, la producción Cóndor se detuvo después de solo dos coches. Tres años más tarde, fue el mismo para el Nembo GT.

a rare, quiet and calm moment captured of caesar just a few moments ago..usually during the day he's so full of energy and just wants to play fetch with his soccer ball and while i got a bunch of shots of him trying to catch a ball in the backyard, those looked boring and plain to me. they show off his physical abilities but i wanted to show his softer, more gentle side.
it took a few minutes to get him to lay like this..the treat i had in my one hand initially made him even more excited but i waited it out and it paid off...if there's one thing this dog teaches me, it's patience. i do love him for that as well as the incredible companionship he provides us all.
technically, someone had asked me about my indoor shots and while i'm not really great at using my (external) flash..i have figured out that bouncing it over and behind my head works best..i shoot with the camera on manual as well as the flash, that way i can take a few test shots then adjust +/- a few stops if need be.
L'atmosfera che si respira lungo il percorso dei Navigli Milanesi è davvero particolare.
Accanto ai locali di ritrovo, punto di incontro dei giovani, coesistono antiche botteghe artigianali, studi artistici e pittorici, vecchi cortili ricchi di storia e di colori... una parte della nostra Milano così bella e affascinante.

Veduta parziale della parte meridionale della citta di Cagliari su cui domina il forte di S. Ignazio.
Sul colle di sant'Elia a 94 metri s.l.m. sorge il fortino di S. Ignazio, un'imponente opera militare del XVIII secolo rimasta incompiuta. Ha una singolare forma a stella, ispirata alle idee del Vauban, famoso architetto militare del XVII secolo, fu costruita con un progetto del capitano Franco Lorenzo, dopo un primo impianto realizzato dal marchese Vivaldi Pasqua. Dopo l'attacco francese alla ciità di Cagliari del 1793, il forte ebbe un periodo di tranquillità e venne disattivato nel 1801. Nel 1804 divenne una succursale del Lazzaretto, non avendo più, quest'ultimo, spazi sufficienti. Fu riutilizzato militarmente, durante l'ultima guerra, con l'impianto di un aerofono, gestito da una stazione di soldati ciechi, incaricati di ascoltare l'arrivo di aerei nemici.
Chiedo scusa se vi starò annoiando con le foto della mia città, ma la mia è una sfacciata propaganda in vista del Raduno Nazionale Flickr che si terrà a Cagliari il 14/15/16 maggio 2010.

I've brought a corrot to this Nutria..., everybody feeds the ducks and swans.., but nobody this poor little fellow....and he loved it... :-)
Die Biberratte (Myocastor coypus), auch Nutria oder seltener Sumpfbiber, Schweifbiber, Schweifratte, Coypu, Wasserratte genannt, ist eine aus Südamerika stammende und in Mitteleuropa eingebürgerte Nagetierart. Sie wird entweder in einer eigenen Familie, Myocastoridae, oder als Unterfamilie Myocastorinae innerhalb der Stachelratten (Echimyidae) eingeordnet.
Die Biberratte wird gelegentlich mit der aus Nordamerika stammenden Bisamratte verwechselt, die sich gleichfalls in Europa als Neozoon etabliert hat, allerdings kleiner ist und einen seitlich abgeplatteten Schwanz hat.
Die Biberratte erreicht eine Körperlänge von bis zu 65 cm und wiegt erwachsen zwischen acht und zehn Kilogramm. Ihr runder, schuppenbedeckter, kaum behaarter Schwanz hat zudem eine Länge von etwa 30 bis 45 Zentimetern. Die Tiere erreichen damit fast dieselbe Körpergröße wie ein Biber. Männliche Biberratten werden generell etwas größer als die Weibchen. An den Hinterfüßen haben Biberratten jeweils zwischen den ersten vier Zehen Schwimmhäute. Auffällig sind bei erwachsenen Tieren auch die orangefarbenen Nagezähne.
Die Fellfarbe der Biberratte ist rötlichbraun, an der Bauchseite leicht gräulich. Aus Pelztierzuchten entflohene Tiere zeigen daneben eine Reihe farblicher Varianten. Bei ihnen kommen hellgraue, dunkelgraue, schwarze, braune, rötliche, gelbliche oder fast weiße Fellfarben vor.
Die ursprüngliche Heimat der an Flüssen, Seen, Teichen und in Sümpfen lebenden Biberratte ist das subtropische und gemäßigte Südamerika. Dort kommt sie vom südlichen Brasilien bis nach Feuerland vor und stand im 19. Jahrhundert kurz vor der Ausrottung. Grundsätzlich leben die Tiere sehr standorttreu und verteidigen engagiert ihr Revier.
Die Biberratte gilt heute als in weiten Teilen Nordamerikas und Eurasiens eingebürgert.
Der Bestand in Eurasien ist auf ab dem 18. Jahrhundert aus Pelztierfarmen entflohene Tiere wie auch auf bewusste Auswilderungen zurückzuführen. Insbesondere nach dem Zusammenbruch des Pelzmarktes im 20. Jahrhundert entkamen zahlreiche Tiere und konnten sich aufgrund einer nicht mehr stattfindenden Bejagung stark vermehren.
In den USA wurden in den 1930er-Jahren die ersten Tiere nach Louisiana exportiert. Dort wurden sie wegen der Felle in Pelztierfarmen gehalten. Von dort aus haben wieder so genannte Gefangenschaftsflüchtlinge aufgrund des für Nutrias günstigen lokalen Klimas und ihrer hohen Vermehrungsrate sehr schnell eine nach Millionen zählende Population begründet. Auch gezielte Auswilderungen kamen vor.
Vereinzelte Vorkommen gibt es zudem in Kenia (am Naivashasee), Japan (südlich der Stadt Okayama) und West-Australien.
In Deutschland ist die Biberratte an etlichen Gewässern in allen Bundesländern zu finden. Größere und weitgehend beständige Populationen gibt es unter anderem an den Flüssen Niers, Schwalm und Cloer am Niederrhein und an der Spree im Osten Deutschlands, insbesondere im Spreewald. Meistens sind die Tiere, insbesondere in Parkanlagen oder auf Golfplätzen, an den Besuch von Spaziergängern gewöhnt und lassen sich ohne viel Scheu mit Gemüse füttern . Eine wirklich starke Verbreitung findet in Deutschland allerdings nicht statt, weil Mitteleuropa den verwilderten Farmtieren kein günstiges Klima bietet. Manche Populationen brechen daher nach wenigen Jahren wieder zusammen.
The coypu, or nutria (Myocastor coypus), is a large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodent and the only member of the family Myocastoridae. Originally native to temperate South America, it has since been introduced to North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily by fur ranchers.[2] Although it is still valued for its fur in some regions, its destructive feeding and burrowing behaviors make this invasive species a pest throughout most of its range.
There are two commonly-used names in the English language for Myocastor coypus. The name nutria (or local derivatives such as "nutria- or nutra- rat") is generally used in North America and Asia; however, in Spanish-speaking countries, the word nutria refers to the otter. To avoid this ambiguity, the name coypu (derived from the Mapudungun word kóypu)[3] is used in Latin America and Europe.[4] In France, the coypu is known as a ragondin. In Dutch it is known as beverrat (beaver rat). In Italy, instead, the popular name is, like in North America and Asia, nutria, but it is also called castorino (little beaver), by which its fur is known.
Nutria and the damage they cause, in particular the damage to the levees before Hurricane Katrina, were featured in a first season episode of the A&E Television series, Steven Seagal: Lawman. Some were shot by police officers and the dead animals were fed to alligators. Seagal, who is a practicing Buddhist, says he is opposed to personally harming another creature without cause and did not actually shoot them. However, he said that he was happy that the food chain was being respected.
The coypu somewhat resembles a very large rat. Adults are typically 5–9 kg (11–20 lb) in weight, and 40–60 cm (16–24 in) in body length, with a 30–45 cm (12–18 in) tail. They have a coarse, darkish brown outer fur with a soft under-fur. Two distinguishing marks are the presence of a white patch on the muzzle, and webbed hind feet. They can also be identified by their bright orange-yellow incisor teeth (unlike rats, which have brownish yellow incisors). The nipples of female coypu are high on her flanks. This allows their young to feed while the female is in the water.
Coypu can also be mistaken for another widely dispersed semi-aquatic rodent that occupies the same wetland habitats, the muskrat. The muskrat, however, is smaller, more tolerant of cold climates, and has a laterally flattened tail that it uses to assist in swimming, whereas the tail of a coypu is round. It can also be mistaken for a small beaver, as beavers and coypus have a very similar body design. They can be differentiated by the tail.
They are herbivorous, feeding on river plants, and live in burrows alongside stretches of water.

A wander up to West Nab and Raven Stones. A still smouldering fire had swept across Marsden Moor and the firefighters were just leaving the black,scorched bogs as dusk fell.For the second time in as many weeks I looked up and starred into the face of a Short Eared Owl silently gliding above me. I felt like it acknowledged my presence before it wheeled silently away. Easy to see why people thought of them as ghosts. The scent of a fox was all amongst the stones and that little dog of mine flitted about its rambling trail. Nose down, tail wagging. The sky seemed a flat slate grey but as the sun set it appeared between the lowest cloud and horizon way off to the West. Subtle reds and purples seemed to weave thier way into the sky as it slipped away for another day. I climbed onto the biggest rock which juts out onto the hillside. Beneath me a yellow red still born lamb lay on the cold ground. I don't think it had taken a breath. No doubt why the fox was about. It was now that magic half hour after sunset when you can sometimes glimpse the other unseen wild world. Heading off a white creature appeared ahead. Thinking it was the dog a gave out a little whistle only to feel her jump up at my heel. I realised it was a white Mountain Hare as I watched it turn on the speed and disappear into the gloaming like a super charged ghost.

This is a shot I made while doing the Jarsulic family photos last weekend. This was entirely Erin's, my coworker and the woman in the photo from the other day, idea. I can't claim credit, all i did was aim and fire, but I thought the photo turned out pretty neat. I have added a selection of other photos from the day to my blog if you are interested in taking a look.

I would like to Thank Akram & Faisalfor the testimonials. They are great photographers, check out their photostreams.
This photo was taken a while back at the 'hidden beach' between Santa Cruz and Daven port. It was a rainy day and the sunset never really happened as I hoped it would. As you look at the rocks in the foreground, you can just imagine how I set up my tripod! :)
The terrain in this beach changes dramatically! I have never seen anything like it. Every time I visit it, it looks different than the time before. Which is why I really like it.
I haven't uploaded photos for a while. I wasn't really sure about the colors of my monitor and thought best to hold on until I figure it out, so I did my research and bought a monitor calibration tool. I installed it last night and sure enough I found many of my sunset shots had weird color hues. This one though didn't have much color to begin with, and to set the mood right as I felt that day I decided to go for the monochrome. Not much of an expert in black & while tonality, but I hope you like it.
//Update: This photo made it to explore today. Thanks everyone for your comments and favs :)

Es tan grande la ameba sol, que un solo corazón no le basta, por eso la ameba sol Actinosphaerium llega a tener centenares de núcleos, para poder crecer, para poder flotar, para poder vivir, quizá también para poder amar. Es tan grande la ameba sol que sus ensaladas de joyas de diatomea no se sirven en un plato, las bebe directamente del agua, es tan grande la ameba sol, que como el más terrible de los ogros de cuento, cuando se come a otra ameba, la engulle con su casa de piedra entera. Es tan grande la ameba sol que su célula única puede tragar de un bocado a los centenares de ellas que forman el cuerpo de los pequeños animalitos, como los rotíferos, que merodean a su alrededor distraídos o atraídos por su belleza de sol y de luna.
Los finos brazos de Actinosphaerium son rayos de sol por el día y redes de día y noche, en ellos quedan atrapados los pequeños seres que se acercan a él, como los brazos de las hidras, anémonas y medusas, pero rígidos. Los de la ameba sol están salpicados de tricocistos, pequeños abultamientos con minúsculos arpones que se disparan al más leve roce inmovilizando así a sus posibles presas.
Poco a poco la presa capturada por los brazos de la ameba sol va siendo atraída hacia el interior de su cuerpo, arrastrada lentamente por la película móvil que recubre cada unos de sus brazos y atrapada finalmente por las burbujas de gelatina que modelan la forma esférica de esta ameba sol, estrella de día y luna adornada de joyas por la noche.
Actinosphaerium vive flotando entre dos aguas, camuflado entre la vegetación acuática, se mueve también lentamente, como un astro vivo en el agua y su universo.

From Wikipedia
The Huntington Beach Pier is a municipal pier located in Huntington Beach, California. At 1,850 feet (560 m) in length, it is one of the longest public piers on the West Coast. (The longest is Oceanside Pier at 1,942 feet). It has been damaged or destroyed four times; in 1912, 1939, 1983 and most recently on January 17, 1988 destroying the End Cafe for the second time in the decade.
The most recent reincarnation of the pier is designed of reinforced concrete to withstand 31-foot (9.4 m) waves or a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and uses an increased space between piles to accommodate surfers - as requested by the City. The pier slopes gently up toward the seaward end in a straight line which alternates with three octagonal platforms and one rotated square (108 feet on a side) that forms a diamond at the pier's seaward end. Not only is the pier structurally sound, it also retains a number of design elements from the original pier including haunches at the pile caps and corbels supporting light standards.
The pier is frequented by sport fishermen as well as surfing spectators. A restaurant is located at the end of the pier.

Stained glass windows by Károly Kernstok (Budapest, 1873 - 1940)
www.google.hu/search?q=kernstok+k%C3%A1roly&hl=hu&...
One of Hungary's most influential early twentieth century artists, Karoly Kernstok first studied painting techniques at the Budapest School of Design. He then went to Munich in 1892 to study under Simon Hollosy. Karoly Kernstok concluded his formal education at the Academie Julian, Paris, from 1893 to 1895 and at Benczur's School, Budapest, from 1896 to 1899. Kernstok's first major exhibitions took place in Budapest in 1897. Three years later one of his paintings was awarded a bronze medal at the Universal Exposition in the United States.
Karoly Kernstok's initial works were figure studies and genre depictions, largely in the vein of Hungarian turn-of-the-century early social realist painting. By 1906, however, his art began exploring stylized elements and postimpressionist techniques, and thus he became a leading exponent of modernism. In 1910, Karoly Kernstok was a founding member of the Nyolcak (Group of Eight) painters. Briefly this important movement advocated expressionism and an emphasis upon the body within space. It drew upon such divergent forms as Art Nouveau, Fauvism and native Hungarian art forms. The Nyolcak was also somewhat political and, through the art of its participants, attempted to move Habsburg Hungary toward a democratic republic. Karoly Kernstok's 1910 painting, Riders on the Shore, became a major catalyst for the art of Nyolcak (Group of Eight). During this period, Karoly Kernstok designed and painted major frescoes and glass windows for the Schiffer-villa (1911) and the County Hall, Debrecen.
Karoly Kernstok moved to Berlin in 1919. He both lived and exhibited in that city until his 1926 return to Hungary. For the following fourteen years the artist continued to paint and etch major works of art, often exploring and incorporating elements of ancient Etruscan art. As well, Karoly Kernstok established an art school in the Nyergesújfalu region of Hungary.
Today the art of Karoly Kernstok is found in most major Hungarian collections, including the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest
Kernstok Károlyról (Ady csodálatos versével):
--
Katharina Fritsch roots her work in the personal, often drawing from childhood memories of familiar circumstances or chance encounters. Her references engage broad aspects of folklore and culture through meticulous reproductions of everyday objects, which she formally manipulates with shifts in scale and color. Made strange by repetition and siting, her sculptural installations are both seductive and disturbing. In the Proustian sense of activating memory, Fritsch’s works create an unnerving familiarity that is subsequently destabilized by the realization that we are seeing a form, a character, or an object for the very first time.
While Fritsch’s painstakingly handcrafted objects are easily mistaken for manufactured items, the artist employs a complicated and time-consuming fabrication process that begins with sketches and scale models. Molded by hand, worked and reworked, each object is subjected to multiple processes of casting or layering. The completed yet still idiosyncratic forms are then painted in bold, highly saturated colors with matte, nonreflective surfaces, creating a sense of otherworldliness. In Fritsch’s words, “Often my sculptures have a matte surface so that there is no reflection whatsoever from the surroundings. That increases the impression of a vision that one cannot grasp.”
Firefighters' demonstration in Paris.
Riot police is blocking the way to the "périphérique" (ring road around Paris) near Porte de Vincennes, to prevent the demonstrators reaching it. The reddish / pink color comes from the flares thrown by the demonstrators, and you can see the water canon in action.
Straight out of the camera (no crop, no adjustment).
Part of "Au feu, les pompiers !" (please watch in the order of the set, to better understand the chronology of events)
As a british petrolhead, one of the most extraordinary and wonderful things (amongst so many others) I've found on my wanderings around the USA, is the way that so many US States have no laws whatsoever demanding regular checks (like our cruel british annual MOT test) on the safety and road-worthiness of old cars, trucks and motorcycles.
It's seen as an infringement of freedom and personal liberty, and it's left entirely to the owner/driver to decide if a vehicle's safe to take to the highways in or on.
Now take this old Toyota Celica above (please check it out in a large size, to witness it's full glorious majesty).
I've owned 4 different versions of this car over the years, and found them all to be outstanding.
But having a monocoque construction, with no separate chassis, I generally found them to handle and perform better when they were still equipped with the steel sills, and 'A' and 'B' pillars that hold the entire car together, and prevent it falling in half at speed.
The photograph of the automobile above was not taken in the Oklahoma dustbowl of the 1930's, but as what remained of this car drove through the centre of downtown Minneapolis/St Paul, last autumn.
I think it's fair to say that in over-regulated europe, a car like this would have been pulled-over by the Romanian police even, and the driver prosecuted, if it were travelling through the centre of an isolated gypsy village in Transylvania, and was being pulled by a horse.
But quite rightly, few US citizens will tolerate an overbearing government and it's authorities telling them what they can or cannot drive - "godamn interferin' commie socialism".
And how right (in this instance) they are!
I'll also wager a substantial sum that the engine and mechanicals of this Gen 2 (1978-81) Celica are still running "As New".

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low
I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name, I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky, sky blue and black
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate
and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black
And I'd have fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If I'd known that's what you needed
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name, I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
You're the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and
the thing that's lost
In everything I do
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
Sky blue and black

Preparing already for a full week of photography in London! Keywords: Ultra wide angle, HDR and (especially at) night! Going alone, exploring parts of London I've never been to - by bike!
Can't wait for March!
This shot was from my last visit back in May 2010. University of Greenwich, Queen's House plus Royal Observatory in the back - taken from one of those speedy commuters boats. Loved it!

home-roasted harar horse lot 14659 ethiopian coffee from sweet marias. this is the third ethiopian coffee i've roasted, looking for something resembling Peet's ethiopian super natural. the absolute best we've had so far is Organic Yirgacheffe beans from Burman Coffee. The green coffee beans cost ~1/3 to 1/2 the price of roasted coffee, and they taste much better than store-bought roasted beans during the first week or two (nothing has lasted two weeks yet).
tahoe soap features this photo in their tutorial on soap ingredients.
