Huge Painting framed with Christmas decorations at Duane's Prime Steak & Seafood Restaurant inside Mission Inn, Riverside, California.
The Mission Inn is a "whimsical, mysterious and slightly bizarre" historic landmark hotel in downtown Riverside, California.
The core of the property was a 2-story, 12-room adobe boarding house called the "Glenwood Cottage", begun by Christopher Columbus Miller in 1876. It predated the founding of Riverside. Miller's son Frank expanded the boarding house in 1902 and essentially continued obsessively building, in a wild variety of shapes, until he died in 1935.
The building now occupies an entire city block. It is often considered an oasis in the middle of a city.
Miller built in reinforced concrete and developed an accomplished, expressive vernacular style drawn from random historical styles. Accumulating one section over another, addition upon addition, the result is an enormously complicated and intricate built environment, comparable to the Winchester House, or to a self-contained medieval European city.
The Mission contains narrow passageways like a Tuscan village, exterior arcades, a prominent medieval-style clock overlooking the Spanish patio, a deep but sun-drenched five-story rotunda, innumerable patios and windows, towers, minarets, a Cloister Wing (with Catacombs), a high pedestrian bridge, and a five-story spiral staircase, among many other features. The 1914 Spanish Wing in itself contains a castle courtyard, open arcades, Mexican tiled roofs, flying buttresses and Mediterranean domes.
Miller also traveled and collected over these thirty years, bringing his treasures back to the hotel for display. The various collections and museum-quality artifacts on the property has an estimated value of $5 million. The St. Francis Chapel houses four large original stained-glass windows and two original mosaics by Tiffany, and the Mexican Baroque Rayas Altar, 25 feet tall, 16 feet across, carved from cedar and covered in gold leaf. For his Garden of Bells, Miller collected over 800 bells, including one dating from the year 1274 and described as the "oldest bell in Christendom".
In the context of other important cultural losses in Riverside, the hotel was closed in 1985, restored at a cost of $55 million, and re-opened in 1992. As of 2006 it is an operating hotel with 4 restaurants, a day spa and 239 guest rooms with 9 rooms designated as presidential suites, each of them with unique views and features. Reportedly the most spacious and comfortable are the Moorish rooms along "Author's Row". The hotel's 4 restaurants include a Mexican style restaurant named Las Campanas featuring fountains and fire pits under the Californian sky. The Mission Inn Restaurant with Californian and Italian cuisine, seating can be requested to view the exceptional Spanish Patio. Bella Trattoria, a small Italian Bistro located on the Main Street pedestrian walking mall. And Duane's Prime Steak & Seafood, famed as being the only four diamond restaurant in the Inland Valley.
For 125 years it has been the proverbial center of Riverside, host to a number of seasonal and holiday functions, as well as occasional political functions and other major social gatherings. Pat and Richard Nixon were married at one of the two wedding chapels here; the Reagans honeymooned here. The hotel has had nearly 10 presidents stay at the Inn, including President Taft whom Frank Miller had a custom large chair made for Taft to sit in, although it is known he took offense to the size of the chair. The Inn continues to be a getaway for presidents to this day with George W. Bush as the most recent. Arnold Schwarzenegger has also stayed there during his tenure as governor.
Of its seasonal functions, the Festival of Lights is well known for its nearly 3 million Christmas lights, and over 400 animated figures. Although the Festival lasts all throughout the holiday season, the day after Thanksgiving is the lighting ceremony. On this day city officials and the owner of the hotel, Duane Roberts, give speeches before fireworks light up the sky and nearly 25,000 people attend annually to view the unique hotel and its holiday decorations.
The hotel is a National Historic Landmark and a California Historical Landmark. (Wikipedia)

Adam and I went with our friends Jesse and Natalie down to the Hal & Mal's St. Patty's Day Parade today. This parade is one of my favorite holiday traditions. The fun to be had is endless. And our parade is ranked one of the best in the country. So, with that being said, i had a complete blast! I got hella sunburned, drank way to much beer, and ate a waaaay yummy mexican meal at 3 in the afternoon! Ahhh, what a glorious day. More parade pics coming...Right now, I am off to bed. I'm exhausted!!!
Oh, and in case you want to know more about our little parade, here are some facts from a little Q&A session that I found:
Q: Who is Mal, anyway?
A: "Mal" is Malcolm White...Jackson's resident club owner/restauranteur/promoter/head of the Mississippi Arts Commission,
writer/publisher/piano-playing blues-ologist/philanthropist/philosopher, and most importantly, "Leprechaun-at-Large."
Q: Why a St. Paddy's Parade?
A: Because Jackson didn't have one! It all started way back in late '70's when a young(er) Mal lived and worked in New Orleans' French Quarter. Mal was fascinated and excited by the concept of parades. There were Mardi Gras Parades, Jazz Funeral Marches, and small street parades happening all the time, and Mal became a "Parade Man" for life.
Q: When was the first parade?
A: The first one was in 1982 (or was it '83?).
Q: How about a little parade history?
A: The original idea was to have a "pub crawl" from CS's to George Street Grocery. But when the inspiration for a parade struck him, Mal figured "We might as well take a dip through downtown." What ensued made headlines in the Clarion Ledger: "PARADE STOPS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!" It was quite a news story and all that was needed to capture the attention and imagination of Irishmen (both real and imagined) across the state. This first parade was an amazing assortment of enthusiastic participants and was, in retrospect, a surreal sight to see. Highlights included the first Grand Marshal, the late ARTHUR MAHONEY, a true Irishman and ex-boxer in his 90's waving to onlookers from a convertible...the debut of the venerable and voluptuous "SWEET POTATO QUEENS' ...the inaugural appearance of the "RUDE BOYS", a "frat party on wheels' ...the great blues legend "SWEET" SAM MYERS standing in the sunroof of "BROTHER PETE'S BLUES VAN" waving an Irish flag ... the fondly remembered KENDALL WILSON on roller skates being pulled by a motorcycle ... the newly-formed "BLUZ BOYS" band playing loudly on a flat-bed
trailer with the assistance of a generator ... neighborhood kids on bicycles ...parade co-conspirators MARSHALL, JOEY, and PAT surely wondering "What the BLARNEY-hell have we let Malcolm talk us into?!?" ... SERGIO FERNANDEZ recording the whole thing for posterity while perched atop a beer truck driven by DINK ... and of course, leading the procession, MAL himself decked out in green (what else?) Army pants, his beard spray-painted red, carrying an Irish walking stick and flanked by his beloved Dalmation "PEARL" ...
What a "MAL-function"!!!
Q: How about the parade today?
A: It's gotten bigger and better than ever. You still have the "SWEET POTATO QUEENS",
"RUDE BOYS" and other annual favorites plus more recent traditions like the "O'TUX SOCIETY", "KREWE of KAZOO", "GREEN LADIES", and a real New Orleans brass marching band. And new
entries are lining up every year! 2009 Grand Marshal Leland Speed will be joining an illustrious list of luminaries which includes the late, great TINY TIM, musician MAC McANALLY, THALIA MARA, MAESTRO COLMAN PEARCE, O.C. McDAVID, "Toons til Two" radio personality DAVID ADCOCK, "COUSIN" CLETA ELLINGTON, DEUCE McALLISTER, CAT CORA, and BERT CASE, and many others.
Q: Where does all that money from the entry fees go?
A: There is a function to all this frivolity. In recent years, the parade has raised over $250,000 for the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children.

LA LUNA ASOMA
Cuando sale la luna
se pierden las campanas
y aparecen las sendas
impenetrables.
Cuando sale la luna,
el mar cubre la tierra
y el corazón se siente
isla en el infinito.
Nadie come naranjas
bajo la luna llena.
Es preciso comer
fruta verde y helada.
Cuando sale la luna
de cien rostros iguales,
la moneda de plata
solloza en el bolsillo.

Księżyc wschodzi
Kiedy księżyc wschodzi
głuchną wszystkie dzwony
i kreślą się tajne
niezbadane ścieżki
Kiedy księżyc wschodzi
ziemię morze zmywa
a serce jest wtedy
wysepką w otchłaniach.
Nikt nie je pomarańcz
przy świetle księżyca.
Wtedy owoce jeść
zielone i zimne.
Kiedy księżyc wschodzi
o stu bladych licach
pieniążki ze srebra
szlochają w sakiewce.

Dudes. I made it to 300! (this photo is a nod to day 137, which is my favourite number)
This whole 365 project has been a crazy ride. I plan on doing a huge look back, a "Retrospective" if you like, when I am finished but I have to say 300 is a huge milestone! I'm pretty proud of myself for actually sticking with it. I'm a fairly determined and ambitious person, but I'm honestly surprised I've lasted this long!
Starting this project is weird though... I don't think many people realise just what they're getting into. A whole YEAR of your life is devoted to this (if you stick with it) and if you're as diligent as I have been, you are committed to not only taking a photo everyday but loading it, editing it, writing your little description, putting it into groups so people actually see your efforts... for me it's about two hours of work a day, at least!
I do think I'm a bit obsessive compulsive about my project... I strive to create something above average everyday. I'm not one of those half-ass people! Sure, some of my photos are kind of shitty, but I have grown so much in the past 300 days and some of my stuff is actually (in my opinion) quite remarkable. It's remarkable to me because I know me. I'm not as cool/ put together/ pretty in real life as I appear in my photos. Needless to say, I never knew I was capable of coming up with some of the cooler stuff I've come up with.
I do think I give a lot of myself in this project, but it definitely doesn't always show who I truly and completely am. For example, it would be REALLY hard for me to do a photo without any make up on. (And infact I spent about 45 minutes editing my skin in this photo... my skin is probably my most hated feature... but I wont go on about it)
ANYWAYS, what I'm trying to say is that I'm kind of a perfectionist. These photos are kind of an idealised version of myself. In real life I'm actually just a really goofy, down-to-earth, overly kind, and completely sincere girl who is just trying her hand at photography.
I'm going to shut up now.
I LOVE YOU FLICKR :-)

This marks the 52nd shot of my 52 weeks of self portraits. It was the toughest one to do (although there were some about 3/4 the way through that seemed impossible to do as well). I have to say I'm sick of seeing myself and sick of doing self portraits. I honestly don't know how all the 365 'ers manage to do it. 52 is nothing in comparison. Still, I'm going to take a break from selfies for a while. [insert applause track here] I'm not sure for how long. Just long enough to be motivated. This may occur sooner than later since the pressure to take a weekly shot is off. I say pressure because after you've taken about 15 weekly portraits, you start to run out of original ideas. Not that original ideas won't surface, it's just that they take time to develop. I noticed that even after I had taken this photo, the creativity started seeping back in. Anyway, I chose this tunnel for the final shot. I'd had it in mind for over a month because I felt it symbolized both beginning and end in that you can see the light, yet I also have the choice to turn around and go the opposite way, not towards the end, but to the entry. There's light there too. I think there are certain times when you want to see the light at the end but often, the journey needs to continue. So you either wander around in the tunnel or proceed back to the entry. Me? I'm headed back to the entry. It also seemed fitting since this is New Year's Eve -- another end and beginning. With that, I wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year. Cheers!
[side note: the tunnel was quite busy with people passing by. I waited for quite a bit before I setup my equipment. Once others saw the tripod and camera bag, and that this might be a cool place to photograph, it was like a feeding frenzy -- people started snapping photos all over the tunnel (not of me, but of the tunnel). One guy even set his tripod up about 10 feet behind me. I had to check to make sure there wasn't one of those 'Kodak Picture Spot' signs nearby.]
In long lost worlds In my mind, can i see the difference from
what's real and what's not..................
I'm fighting , I'm fighting with my self
to keep insane , to stay alive , Im fighting
Im fighting with my self, do you see it? can you feel it?
can you see the hidden sorrow?
I'v got to over come it , but can i even take the first step
can anyone help? Im fighting, Im fighting with my self, to keep insane
to stay alive
should i listern to the voice, that's inside my mind
should i give in...................
give in to the voice, Im fighting, Im fighting with my self
to keep insane, to stay alive today.......

José Honorato Lozano
Albun de M L
1850 - 51
Carruage de alquiler
1851
20.2 x 29.7 cm (8 x 11 ½ in)
A lot of 12 watercolors
Estimate: PHP 5,500,000 - 7,000,000
Lot 143 of the Salcedo Auctions auction on 17-18 September 2016. Please see <a href="http://www.salcedoauctions.com"
The painter José Honorato Lozano (1821-1885) is known today as the visual chronicler and ethnographic painter par excellence of life in the Philippines in the second and third quarters of the 19th Century. He is also renowned as the father of the art form known as Letras y Figuras - literally ‘Letters and Figures.’ Mostly watercolors on Manila paper, these artworks depict views of quotidian Philippine life in the 19th century, wherein the artist ingeniously and meticulously painted what on close scrutiny appear as human figures and their environs (houses, flora, fauna, work tools, produce, etc.), but when seen from a distance spell out names or words (e.g. Edward A. Westley, Views of Manila).
In his book José Honorato Lozano, Filipinas 1847, art historian Ambassador Jose María A. Cariño states “The origins of Lozano’s Letras y Figuras can be traced to the Middle Ages in Europe when calligraphers embellished the first letter of each chapter (Capitulares) of the Bible or Psalm or Prayer Book. . . Lozano may have seen copies of these and considered adapting this style and Filipinizing it through over-decorating and illuminating not just the first letter but every letter in the word. Thus, letras y figuras was born”.
It was only in the last twenty years - after several albums painted by Lozano were sold at auctions in London, Madrid, Singapore and Hong Kong - that Filipinos realized the important role of José Honorato Lozano in Philippine art history. His meticulous depiction of Tipos Filipinos (Philippine Types), costumes, customs, traditions, flora, fauna, buildings, houses, fruits, shells, tribes, uniforms (military, school, religious orders, militia), weapons, reptiles, sheet music, views, modes of land transportation, marine vessels, etc. are a treasure trove of visual information about the Philippines in the 19th century.
One of the most famous albums limned by Lozano is the Ayala Karuth Album. Since the watercolors contained therein were unsigned, for many years the works were mistakenly attributed to Carl Johann Karuth, a German employee of Jacobo Zóbel Hinsch (Botica Zóbel), as Karuth’s name was engraved in the leather cover of the album.
The Philippine art market went wild when the Nyssens Flebus Album containing twenty-five watercolors measuring approximately 13 ½ by 9 ¾ inches was auctioned at Christie’s London on in July 1995, with the hammer price reaching GBP 265,000. Emile Nyssens who commissioned the album was a Belgian tobacco trader.
Two other famous albums by Lozano were commissioned by Spanish military officials, namely: 1) The Gervasio Gironella Album; and 2) The José de la Gándara Album. Gervasio Gironella was the Superintendente y Intendente del Ejercito y de la Hacienda (Superintendent of the Armed Forces and Quarter Master General of the Treasury), making him the second most important official in the Philippines during the Spanish period. On the other hand, José de la Gándara y Navarro was Governor General of the Philippines from 1866 to 1867. He also served as Governor General in Cuba. Due to his achievements during his stint in the Philippines including beautification projects and the construction of new roads and the widening of narrow streets in Manila, Gándara Street was named after him. The Gándara Album contains twenty-seven spectacular watercolors.
THE ML ALBUM
The ML Album is the first album by José Honorato Lozano to be auctioned in the artist’s country of birth. All the recently discovered albums by the artist were either bought privately or sold at auctions in Singapore and Hong Kong, and in Europe.
More importantly, the ML Album’s provenance can be traced to one of the Grandees of Spain. ML was an important businessman based in Andalucia who traded in sugar and textiles. Due to his business successes and charitable works, ML was conferred the title of marquis by Queen Isabella II in the 1860’s. The family was also involved in railways, financing and in the olive oil and soap industries. One of the descendants made a fortune in the liquor industry. Today, the descendants of the family are gentlemen farmers dabbling in the fruit and real estate businesses. ML never set foot in the Philippines and therefore did not commission the album. It was a gift from a Philippine sugar producer and business partner. The marquis died during a business trip in France in 1873.
The heir who inherited the album informed Salcedo Auctions that the paintings were never bound into an album and were never framed or displayed as the family had so many Spanish artworks that there was no space in the marquis’ palace to hang them. Throughout its existence, the twelve watercolors of the album were stashed away and all but forgotten in an antique chest containing other gifts and exotic artworks that were gifted to the marquis. As the watercolors were never displayed, today the colors are vibrant and there are no signs of water damage or foxing. This is one of the best preserved albums by Lozano.
For Philippine collectors, one of the important features of this album is the existence of an ‘ML’ letras y figuras as the first page of the album, featuring fishermen holding a fish net forming the letter ‘M’ and two Igorrotes conversing beside a cooking pot forming the letter ‘L’. The Puente Colgante de Manila serves as a backdrop, and on top an angel carries the flag of Spain. The old Spanish word ‘Albun’ identifies this as the frontispiece of a set of pictures – an ‘album’ as it is now known owing to the influence of the English language.
Another interesting feature of the album is that, with the exception of one sheet, all the works are either signed or signed and dated. The signature of the last watercolor appears to have been torn off accidentally, and was not restored. Four of the works feature Tipos Filipinos in their colorful attire while another four are typical views of the Philippines. Two of the most outstanding paintings in the set are the Carruaje de Alquiler (Carriage for Hire) and the Entierro de un Parbulo (Funeral for a School Child), where a band in colorful attire is featured playing lively music while the child is dressed like a bishop or a saint and paraded on the way to the cemetery. This particular scene is borne out of the idea that when a child passes, he goes straight to heaven, thus a cause for celebration rather than sadness.
The return of the ML Album to the Philippines is a cause for joy, especially since there are very few surviving mid 19th century Philippine art works in the country and even less works by this artist whom Rafael Díaz Arenas praised in his book Memorias Históricas y Estadísticas de Filipinas (published in Manila in 1850): “There is a landscape painter using distemper, who is also a watercolorist without rival in the country… I speak of Lozano.” The recent discovery of three oil on canvas paintings by Lozano, namely Vista de la Casa de Campo de Malacañan and two studies of Philippine fruits, flowers and vegetables also confirm Rafael Diaz Arena’s words that “Lozano was a virtuoso in oil and watercolor.”
The provenance of the album and the identity of ML will be provided to the buyer.
La Mola Kuna es hecha por las mujeres Kuna (Tule o Dule), que habitan las Islas de San Blas en Panamá (también conocida como Kuna Yala). La palabra mola significa vestido o blusa en Tule Gaya, el idioma de los Kunas y es una pieza de arte intrincadamente diseñada y cosida que las mujeres Kuna utilizan para embellecer sus vestidos.
The artistry of a mola reflects a synthesis of traditional Kuna culture with the influences of the modern world. Mola art developed when Kuna women had access to store bought yard goods. Mola designs are often inspired by modern graphics such as political posters, labels, pictures from books and TV cartoons, as well as traditional themes from Kuna legends and culture.
Geometric molas are the most traditional, having developed from ancient body painting designs.
6:43 am, after sunrise, we go to cross the crest of Anboto. The first step is the most dangerous, the step of the Devil (paso del Diablo / infernuko zubia), where many mountaineers have died. The crest is very dangerous,the fall is fatal to both sides, but the sunny day came with lack of humidity and wind, ideal conditions but we had to be very careful.
6:43am, después de ver amanecer nos disponemos a hacer el cresterío del Anboto. El primer paso y más peligroso es el paso del Diablo,(infernuko zubia) en el cual han perdido la vida numerosos montañeros. El cresterío es muy complicado ya que la caída a ambos lados es fatal, pero el día nos acompaña con un calor, falta de viento y de humedad nada habituales por aquí.

Just got around to processing this one. I know it is similar to a previous shot I have posted but this may be my favorite. Love the colors in the clouds just before the sun made its appearance. This is one of many fishing piers along the Mississippi Gulf Coast that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They stand as reminders of the devastation of the storm but now provide interesting elements for coastal photography. The location of this shot is actually just across Highway 90 from the Pass Christian Walmart Supercenter. In Mississippi, we may be last in some areas but you can't touch our view from Walmart!

Does anyone know what year or model this might be? I originally thought that this might be an International Harvester, but have since found out that I was wrong…
Thanks to pspeak60 I found out that this was NOT an International Harvester and that he thought it was either a Diamond T/Diamond Reo (getting closer-but not cigar)! However, pspeak60 did put me in touch with Hank Suderman of www.hankstruckpictures.com/trucks.htm whom told me right off that it was definitely a Federal Motor Truck. Thank you Hank ~ you know your trucks! I have since found this information about the Company however I am still not sure of the year or model …
The Federal Motor Trucks
Between 1910 and 1959, over 160,000 Federals were assembled. As of February 29, 2004, 183 of the surviving Federal trucks have been located, ranging from the smallest pickups up to the largest WWII tank haulers and crash wreckers. All but a few of these trucks are in the U.S., thus a large part of the Federal output made for export remains unknown.

This is a vertorama made of 2 sets of images taken with a wide angle lens. Much distortion correction was required. I was trying to get a less distorted view that still showed the entire arc and the buildings behind. It ended up in square format.
I love the "Labor Legacy Landmark". In my humble(?) opinion, it is the finest piece of public art in Michigan.
The Labor Legacy Landmark
With its shining arch rising 63 feet above the ground, the Labor Legacy Landmark, "Transcending," draws attention to itself as one of the newest additions to the Detroit skyline. The piece, commissioned by the Michigan Labor Legacy Project and funded solely through donations from union members without the aid of public or corporate money, is designed to celebrate the history and contributions of labor. The only such monument in the United States, the Labor Legacy Landmark is the work of local sculptors David Barr and Sergio De Giusti.
Barr, a teacher of sculpture and an internationally acclaimed artist, created the "Four Corners Project," in which he placed four carved marble tetrahedrons at equidistant sites around the globe, in effect creating the largest sculpture ever made. The Italian-born De Giusti is best known for his representative relief works, on display at public institutions throughout the state and around the world. One of De Giusti's works,a nine-foot bronze freestanding relief, is prominently displayed at the main plaza of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Building.
Barr, whose work is primarily abstract and symbolic, sought out the collaboration with De Giusti in order to add a more intimate dimension to the project. Both men envisioned something other than the funereal, European tradition of famous leaders commemorated by solemn statues. Instead, they set out to create a space - an environment where viewers can enjoy art as they come to understand and appreciate the struggles of labor.
From afar, (the piece can be seen from Canada) the work's great stainless steel arch is its most visible aspect. The notched, rounded arch resembles the ubiquitous symbol of labor - the gear and serves as a testament to labor's spirit of exuberance and defiance.
"Transcending's" circular form also stands in contrast to the city's grid-like design as a symbol of inclusion. The bottom of the gear appears to merge into the earth. Barr says, "The world drives industry and labor, and industry and labor drive the world."
The arch rests on a circular, raised dais, and is partially encircled by seven granite boulders all split symmetrically in two. According to De Giusti "Stones have a great presence and have always been used to commemorate events. They are markers of a people and a generation." Brought from Vermont, the stones suggest a strong linkage to the past and their permanence creates a link towards our future.
The boulders' polished surfaces are adorned with De Giusti's bronze reliefs which depict the sacrifices and achievements of labor. His method of presenting objects pushing through and receding into the flat surface of the relief, suggests the embedding of fossils in stone. In direct sunlight, the bronze shines like a geode from within the split rock.
The piece also includes a twisting marble path. A tile at the beginning of the path is engraved with the words, "Labor's achievements are America's strength," and subsequent tiles enumerate those achievements - "Free public education," "Human rights," "Equality for women." Other tiles feature historical labor-related quotes such as "Without struggle there is no progress" (attributed to Frederick Douglas), and Martin Luther King's words, "The arc of history bends toward justice."
De Giusti's reliefs line the path at it spirals inward. At the spiral's center are two boulders - one displaying chains and the other displaying hands - directly below the apex of Barr's arch. A look straight upwards reveals that the arch is divided by a narrow gap at the top. This separation symbolizes how far labor has come and how far it still has to go. At night the arch is made whole by lights projecting from the two disconnected ends.
When the piece was still in the proposal stage, then-Mayor Dennis Archer told the Detroit Free Press, "What the labor movement is doing is reminding everybody who builds buildings that public art also has a place in the betterment of a city." In "Transcending" Barr and De Giusti have created not only an important piece of art but also a significant historical and educational setting designed to connect viewers to the past and inspire them to affect their future. - Nick Sousanis
Remember my previous post about stairs and little hill? This is to the left of it but still closed to the public with barricades on top and bottom of the stairs. I'll go back to find out what they had in mind for this. The view on Lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty and Governor's Island is just beautiful!! Love the textures and tones here that almost matches the texture of the Majestic Brooklyn Bridge in the background!!

Of course when I was there for sunrise shot, Kenny and I didn't really care about the barricades on the top and just move them a little and parked our gears in front of those flimsy things, LOL!! The rangers making their tours saw us, and couple other photographers, didn't mind knowing well we'll be there for few minutes only!!
Have a great week, it is gloomy and raining here!! :((

A beautiful purple starfish on the rocks at the beach of Barnet Marine Park at low tide in Burnaby near Vancouver, BC, Canada
About this photo:We've been having such a beautiful summer and since it was so warm the last couple of weeks of August so we went to a small beach nearby with our 3 year old little girl. We went to Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby near Vancouver which is only about 10-15 minutes driving from our place. Ava, our daughter, loves the beach so we had no problem keeping her busy. She loves to look at rocks, throw rocks in the water, play with her little bucket and shovel in the sand...you name it. And I just enjoyed looking at her, the view and just enjoy this beautiful weather!
It's particularly beautiful at low tide as you are able to see purple starfish and the water seems to be so clear. In this photo I noticed to people enjoying a lovely afternoon kayaking trip on the calm waters of the Burrard Inlet.

Some information on Barnet Marine Park: Located alongside the Barnet Highway, this large park on Indian Arm was once a thriving village which supported the once prosperous lumber mill which was located there for most of the early 20th century. Now, all that remains are thousands of bricks along the western beaches, the remnants of the smoke stack and a concrete structure. The Park encompasses picnic tables, a trail along the water, docks and beaches. Located along the highway that shares its name, Barnet Marine Park is both a historical adventure and a great place to enjoy the day.
Barnet Marine Park, just off the Barnet Highway is a long and narrow Park sandwiched between the railway tracks and Indian Arm. A popular summer destination, visitors can enjoy lunch at one of the dozens of picnic tables strewn throughout the park or spread out a blanket and umbrella at the beaches while enjoying views of the fjord, tankers and other marine vessels sailing by. The nearby pier is popular with fishers and crabbers and the grassy lawn is also a welcome spot to sit and enjoy the park.
Barnet Marine Park is best known for its historic remnants that once were a small community and one of the largest lumber mills in the region. The skeleton of the scrap burner is now a recognized heritage site sitting on a dock where visitors can roam through the dilapidated brick structure and one of the mil structures still sits among picnic tables. Thousands of bricks from the old buildings create the shore along the western edge of the Park - most still falling from the remnants of the mill.
A tranquil Park with plenty to see and enjoy, Barnet Marine Park on the foreshores of Indian Arm in Burnaby is the city's only saltwater beach and is a popular and interesting place to explore all year round.

150 – Centocinquantesimo
Raccolta fotografica dedicata al centocinquantesimo anniversario dell’Unità d’Italia.
Un’opera da collezionare.
CON IL PATROCINIO DELL’ANCI (Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani),
DI “SAPIENZA” - UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI ROMA, DEL CONSIGLIO REGIONALE DEL LAZIO E DEL
COMUNE DI ISOLA DEL LIRI
DAL 7 DICEMBRE IN LIBRERIA
A conclusione delle celebrazioni dei 150 anni dell’Unità d’Italia, la casa editrice Gargoyle in
collaborazione con Editrice Pisani manda in stampa Fratelli Comuni, una raccolta fotografica per
“raccontare” in modo originale e partecipe come l’Italia abbia vissuto questa importante ricorrenza.
L’idea, nata la notte del 17 marzo 2011, complice l’incantevole cornice della Cascata Grande di
Isola del Liri – illuminata, in occasione dei festeggiamenti, con i colori della nostra bandiera - era
quella di scoprire come altri comuni italiani avessero vissuto quel giorno, se quell’anniversario
avesse davvero risvegliato un sentimento di unità, un sussulto di fratellanza autentico e vivo in
grado di esprimersi non con il linguaggio vacuo e altisonante della retorica, ma con quello semplice
dei cittadini, che, nel silenzio e nell’anonimato, hanno combattuto e combattono ogni giorno per
custodire la dignità e la bellezza del nostro Paese.
Quella stessa dignità e bellezza capaci di commuovere gli italiani quando Roberto Benigni legge
Dante, ricordando a tutti noi ciò che siamo stati, le nostre radici, o ancora, quando sussurra con
dolcezza l’inno di Mameli, rammentando con passione e entusiasmo la generazione di chi, con
cuore puro e innamorato, non esitò a sacrificarsi per la propria patria. Uno spirito di appartenenza
e di sacrificio tornato a rivivere proprio in questi giorni di crisi, nei gesti dei volontari e dei cittadini
che con generosità cercano di far fronte al disastro provocato dalle recenti alluvioni, abbattutesi su
Genova e altri comuni liguri. Atti che mostrano bene come gli italiani siano un popolo, solidale e
unito, capace di slanci di grande generosità; “una d’arme, di lingua, d’altare, di memorie, di
sangue, di cor”, scriveva Alessandro Manzoni dell’Italia nell’ode Marzo 1821.
Attraverso la ricostruzione delle tappe più significative che hanno caratterizzato questo giorno di
festa (allestimenti, manifestazioni, eventi simbolo il cui filo conduttore è il Tricolore) Fratelli Comuni
mette assieme, in un unico volume, le immagini più belle e rappresentative di un momento
importante della nostra storia, e, quello che ci consegna, è un concerto armonico di sorrisi, sguardi
ed emozioni, un mosaico variopinto di atmosfere, protagonisti e istanti destinati a rimanere nel
tempo. Fratelli Comuni, però, è anche un’occasione per riflettere, un tentativo di ricordare e far
ricordare le ricchezza e la straordinaria varietà della nostra Italia, perché i 150 anni di Unità non
vengano considerati solo alla luce degli avvenimenti storici, politici ed economici che ne hanno
contraddistinto la storia, ma siano testimonianza delle tante ed esaltanti avventure culturali e
intellettuali che ci hanno resi noti nel mondo, in ambito umanistico come in quello scientifico. Tale
patrimonio ci rende fieri di essere italiani.
Il volume si compone di tre sezioni: la prima è una raccolta di scatti fotografici volti a
documentare come comuni e province d’Italia, da Nord a Sud, dai più piccoli ai più grandi,
abbiano commemorato e celebrato questo evento. E, sfogliando il volume, colpisce come le
immagini, a volte, registrino già un passaggio del tempo e appartengano al passato, come quelle
del comune di Monterosso, nelle Cinque Terre, quasi cancellato dall’alluvione.
La seconda, con la prefazione dello storico Virgilio Ilari, Presidente della Società Italiana di Storia
Militare, è dedicata alle Forze Armate e vuole essere un omaggio speciale a tutti coloro che ogni
giorno, con spirito di sacrificio, difendono i valori della pace e della democrazia. Un compito, il loro,
ancor più prezioso se considerato alla luce degli attuali scenari nazionali e internazionali.
La terza, infine, è una sezione speciale; una galleria di ritratti di personaggi illustri che nel
tempo hanno contribuito a fare grande e prestigioso il nostro Paese. Sette le categorie (musica,
moda, spettacolo, sport, politica, industria e premi Nobel); ognuna di queste è introdotta da
esponenti del mondo accademico, artistico e dello sport.
Ma i veri autori e protagonisti di Fratelli Comuni sono i cittadini stessi, le tante realtà
comunali e le province italiane che, con l’invio di materiale fotografico, hanno incoraggiato,
supportato e reso possibile la realizzazione di questa grande opera, dove le tradizioni del
passato si fondono armoniosamente con l’innovazione tecnologica del presente.
Le presentazioni del volume saranno patrocinate dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei
Ministri e dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali.

Burgos (Spain).
ENGLISH
The Burgos Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral de Burgos) is a Gothic-style cathedral in Burgos, Spain. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is famous for its vast size and unique architecture. Its construction began in 1221, following French Gothic parameters.
It had very important modifications in the 15th and 16th centuries (spires of the principal façade, Chapel of the Constable, cimborio of the transept: these elements of advanced Gothic give the cathedral its distinguished profile). The last works of importance (the sacristy or the Chapel of Saint Thecla) occurred during the 18th century, the century in which the Gothic statuary of the doors of the principal façade was also transformed.
At the beginning of the 20th century, some semidetached construction to the cathedral was eliminated, such as the Archepiscopal Palace and the upper floor of the cloister. The style of the cathedral is Gothic, although it has some Renaissance and Baroque works.
The cathedral was declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO on October 31 of 1984. It is the only Spanish cathedral that has this distinction independiently, without being joined to the historic center of a city (as in Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Ávila, Córdoba, Toledo or Cuenca) or in union with others buildings, as in Seville.

CASTELLANO
La Catedral de Santa María de Burgos (Castilla y León, España) es un templo católico dedicado a la Virgen María. Su construcción comenzó en 1221, siguiendo patrones góticos franceses. Tuvo importantísimas modificaciones en los siglos XV y XVI: las agujas de la fachada principal, la Capilla del Condestable y el cimborrio del crucero, elementos del gótico avanzado que dotan al templo de su perfil inconfundible. Las últimas obras de importancia (la Sacristía o la Capilla de Santa Tecla) pertenecen ya al siglo XVIII, siglo en el que también se retiraron las portadas góticas de la fachada principal. El estilo de la catedral es el gótico, aunque posee, en su interior, varios elementos renacentistas y barrocos. La construcción y las remodelaciones se realizaron con piedra caliza extraída de las canteras del cercano pueblo burgalés Hontoria de la Cantera.
La catedral burgalesa fue declarada Monumento Nacional el 8 de abril de 1885 y Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco el 31 de octubre de 1984. Es la única catedral española que tiene esta distinción de la Unesco de forma independiente, sin estar unida al centro histórico de una ciudad (como en Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Ávila, Córdoba, Toledo o Cuenca) o en compañía de otros edificios, como en Sevilla.

1873 - Working in the mines came with big risk. There was a good chance of poisonous gasses or a collapse. After an accident remaining relatives often had no income at all. The miners had to leave there belongings and especially those of more value behind for relatives to claim in case of an accident.
Zeche H had a room where miners changed into their work clothes and put all there belongings in the steal baskets you see in the photo. A basket a person, clothes in the basket, watches and bracelets at curly stick-outs and rings and earrings at the top. He had to raise the basket before going underground. This so they knew who was underground.
More then a century later Zeche H closes it's doors. Most of the buildings are gone and yet to be torn down is this beautiful room with its thousands of baskets (up to 3382 or so).

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness there inside you
Makes you feel so small
But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.

Today has been an amazing day. Everyone has been enormously helpful. This week, we had a photography contest at school.
Tuesday, we got the tasks, came up with ideas, and played around with the studio strobes which I had no experience with until then.
Wednesday, we went to the location. Changes in plans. Set up in a tiny garage, and had a shoot going for two hours. Got a lot of help from Kristine (owner of the garage, the knife, the bunny and the ketchup used to color the bunny; but also batteries for the transmitter). After the shoot, we picked about ten candidates, but ended up with this. Kai used the rest of the day to process it to perfection (atleast so we like to think).
Today, Thursday. We met up together at the printing store at 0900. We went for an A1 print on special paper, and we were truly astonished. The quality was amazing. It was dreadfully expensive, though - but seems already that it will pay off, since the school is willing to buy it for more than we spent printing and framing it. Afterwards, we went to a frame maker who also proved himself very helpful, helping us framing the print which basically was dripping wet, since it only had been drying for an hour or so (usually, you need to dry it for 24 hours, but we had to finish it by 1100).
The end result was just stunning, and wether or not we win the contest is irrelevant. We've had tons of fun in the process of creating this!
Parc Natural del Garraf - Jafra, Barcelona (Spain).
Panorama of 2 photos.
ENGLISH
Garraf is a place little documented, and for that reason it is surrounded by mystery and legend.
Jafra, a deserted and ruinous town, is named already in 1139, and in 1332 a castle is mentioned. Apparently in 14th century all the inhabitants died due to the Black Death epidemic, although shortly after it became to populate, and in 1432 it became to open the parish. In 17th century the barons of Jafra named a mayor (1683) and recovered the church, dedicated to Santa Maria (1688). In 1819 Jafra lost its last mayor and it joined to the town of Olivella (the parishes already were tie). The culture of the vine made increase the population during 17th century. In 1820 there were 83 inhabitants, and in 1850 the church was recovered again. The plague of phylloxera of end of 19th century caused the desertion of lands, and in 1960 they were left only 19 inhabitants, scattered by farms of the environs.
At the moment only it is left still on the church (in restoration), the walls of rectory and the house of the barons, and those of the house of the servants. About the cemetery only left some walls and two great cypresses, and by the environs it has scattered ruins of which they could be other small houses.
When I arrived at the entrance of the church I was a little rare, with a discomfort sensation, of not feeling very at ease in this place, so I did not entertain myself in making many photos. I do not know why, but I had desire to go away there. And it was later, already in house, when documenting about the place I found the explanation of those strange sensations.
Jafra is considered damn town, and it is object of investigation by different parapsychology studious groups. It comments that at night lights have been seen roam by the zone, and in the house of the servants, called “the enchanted house” have been poltergeist phenomena, like blows, sudden changes of temperature, voices and until some appearance. Here they have been possible to record psychophonies. Also it comments that years ago a boy fell into a well near the cemetery and died drowned, and since it have been heard moans and it has been believed to see a figure roam near the cypresses of the cemetery.
I do not believe in these things, but the strange sensations that I experimented there are well certain...

CASTELLANO
El Garraf es un lugar poco documentado, y por ello está rodeado de misterio y de leyenda.
Jafra, un poblado abandonado y ruinoso, ya es nombrado en el año 1139, y en 1332 se menciona un castillo. Por lo visto en el siglo XIV murieron todos los habitantes debido a la epidemia de peste, aunque poco después se volvió a poblar, y en 1432 se volvió a abrir la parroquia. En el siglo XVII los barones de Jafra nombraron un alcalde (1683) y restauraron la iglesia, dedicada a Santa María (1688). En 1819 Jafra perdió su último alcalde y se incorporó al pueblo de Olivella (las parroquias ya estaban vinculadas). El cultivo de la viña hizo aumentar la población durante el siglo XVII. En 1820 había 83 habitantes, y en 1850 se restauró nuevamente la iglesia. La plaga de filoxera de finales del siglo XIX provocó el abandono de las tierras, y en 1960 quedaban tan solo 19 habitantes, diseminados por las masías de los alrededores.
Actualmente sólo queda en pie la iglesia (en restauración), los muros de la rectoría y de la casa de los barones, y los de la casa de los criados. Del cementerio apenas quedan unos muros y dos grandes cipreses, y por los alrededores hay diseminadas ruinas de lo que podrían ser otras casas pequeñas.
Cuando llegué a la entrada de la iglesia me encontré un poco raro, con una sensación de incomodidad, de no sentirme muy a gusto en el lugar, así que no me entretuve en hacer muchas fotos. No sé por qué, pero tenía ganas de marchar de allí. Y fue después, ya en casa, cuando documentándome acerca del lugar encontré la explicación a esas extrañas sensaciones.
Por lo visto Jafra es considerado un pueblo maldito, y es objeto de investigación por parte de diferentes grupos estudiosos de parapsicología. Se comenta que de noche se han visto luces merodear por la zona, y en la casa de los criados, llamada "la casa encantada" ha habido fenómenos poltergeist, como golpes, cambios súbitos de temperatura, voces y hasta alguna aparición. En ella se han podido grabar psicofonías. También se comenta que hace años cayó un niño a un pozo cerca del cementerio y murió ahogado, y desde entonces se han oído lamentos y se ha creído ver una figura merodear cerca de los cipreses del cementerio.
Yo no creo en estas cosas, pero las extrañas sensaciones que experimenté allí son bien ciertas...

Nei pressi di Perugia e poco distante da Magione, accanto al Lago Trasimeno, si trova Mugnano, piccolo ma pittoresco centro circondato dalla campagna umbra.
L'abitato trae origine da insediamenti del II secolo a.C. cui fece seguito la costruzione, tra il IX e X secolo, di una fiorente abbazia benedettina i cui monaci furono impegnati nella bonifica dei territori circostanti che di lì a poco divennero tra i più fertili della regione.
A protezione dei beni e della popolazione locale nel XIV secolo fu costruito il castello con le sue mura perimetrali e il maestoso maschio cui si sovrappose, nel XVIII secolo, la torre campanaria. Nel Settecento all'interno dell'antico castrum si insediò la confraternita del Santissimo Sacramento.
All'interno del castello da non perdere la visita alla piazzetta della “pompa” con un profondo pozzo nel quale, le donne, fin dall'inizio del Novecento, attingevano acqua con una pompa azionata a mano.
MUGNANO IL PAESE DEI MURI DIPINTI
Nel borgo, in un'atmosfera quasi surreale, si snoda il percorso alla scoperta dei “muri dipinti” realizzati, su idea del pittore Benito Biselli, da artisti italiani e stranieri che rappresentano un'esposizione permanente di grande interesse.
L'originalità delle pitture, i temi trattati, gli stili e le tecniche usate danno voce ai diversi linguaggi dell'arte sconfinando dal figurativo all'informale e regalando alle vecchie mura forme e colori.
Mugnano cominciò ad essere interesse della critica negli anni settanta del Novecento, quando nel borgo furono organizzate quattro mostre di alto livello in cui esponevano temporaneamente importanti artisti. Nel corso degli anni l'idea cambiò trasformando l'evento da temporaneo a permanente. Nel 1983 fu organizzata per la prima volta “In...contriamoci a Mugnano” una grande festa paesana, con cadenza annuale, tra la fine di giugno e i primi di luglio, che oltre a proporre sapienti piatti di eno-gastronomia locale, arricchiva l'antico nucleo architettonico, i piccoli vicoli e le piazzette con opere d'arte moderna permanenti. Quell'anno furono chiamati i primi otto pittori locali che realizzarono altrettanti “muri dipinti” suscitando gran fervore di critica. L'anno successivo la manifestazione fu aperta anche agli artisti stranieri e nel 2008 è arrivata alla XXV edizione. Ad oggi sono stati realizzati trentotto dipinti murali.
Nei giorni precedenti la festa un gran fervore anima il paese: si montano i palchi davanti agli intonaci e gli artisti cominciano la loro opera circondati da una folla di curiosi e addetti ai lavori.
I muri del paese cantano una fioritura improvvisa di opere, una ritmica stesura di sigilli pittorici dove ogni artista ha deposto il succo della sua creatività (Mimmo Coletti, 1990).
L'itinerario, con opere restaurate e inaugurate nel 2008, grazie anche al sostegno della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, è completamente illuminato con luci a risparmio energetico, e visitabile anche nelle ore notturne.

La diatomea Gyrosigma tuerce sus dos extremos afilados y transformándose en hélice parece que quiso empezar a girar tal y como cuenta su nombre ς -sigma-. Todas las especies de Gyrosigma tienen esta característica y en su doble estuche de cristal, los frústulos, llevan labrados unos surcos finos y paralelos que van de punta a punta, además de otros más delicados y más juntos que cortan a éstos perpendicularmente y que se ven con dificultad.
Gyrosigma attenuatum exhibe su gran tamaño y estos finos surcos que en ella se ven bien esculpidos. Se diferencia así de su hermana más parecida, algo pequeña que ella, Gyrosigma acuminatum, en la que apenas se distingue ninguna ornamentación en los ejemplares vivos por quedar enmascarados por el verde y dorado color de los cloroplastos que le dan la vida desde su interior.
Gyrosigma attenuatum y Gyrosigma acuminatum son dos hermanas relativamente comunes, aunque no muy frecuentes. Viven sobre las piedras de los arroyos, cerca de la orilla para recibir la luz del sol. A diferencia de otras diatomeas no son nadadoras, se deslizan en sinuosos movimientos sobre la superficie del fondo. La más pequeña, parece ser más frecuente que ésta y ambas suelen tener dificultades para vivir en aguas contaminadas.
Gyrosigma attenuatum es otra de esas pequeñas joyas del agua, con cascarón de cuarzo que son las diatomeas. La imagen de hoy ha sido tomada en unas muestras procedentes del Pozo de San Antonio, en la localidad riojana de Préjano. La fotografía se ha realizado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Another "in house" photo . Maybe abstract , maybe it's suited for another texture , i don't know . What i have learned . Shoot RAW at minimum ISO ( 200 in my case ) , straighten , crop and tone the image then convert it in jpeg . Then edit it with GIMP . You still get noisy images because of the 8 bit j-peg processing . Damn , in this photo's case that's good .
Come on my dear developers with the new Gimp and 16 bit image processing . You have the power to free us from PS . Pretty please :) .

Hoy lance mi caña de pescar al vacio,
Esperando cazar alguna emoción perdida,
Alguna sensación escondida...
Hoy moje mis doloridos pies en la orilla,
Esperando calmar mi ansiedad de nadar,
Mi ansiedad de volar...
Hoy espere en aquella playa solitaria,
Que aparecieras y de tu mano me llevaras,
Y de tu mano me ahogara...
Hoy lance mi caña de pescar al vacio,
Esperando que solo tú la encontráras,
Que solo tú... la encontráras.

When in China, learn how to prepare & drink tea...
It is time for some hot tea, so when in Shingi set off for the city's wholesale markets and find more than tea: immense knowledge and generosity. There are rows and rows of crammed stalls in the giant, drafty: "Du Ba Tong" - "Tianshan Tea City" in western Shanghai!
Very much off the main trek of any visitor, worth a umpteen cups of tea that you will be able to sample. 3 floors of maybe 300+ tea wholesalers.
Pu'er is special tea, actually from a different type of tea plant, and is superb. Aged pu'er teas are sought after and are extremely pricey, fetching more than 50 rmb per gram. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea

ENGLISH
The pits usually comprise of a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics (also called a pit crew), depending on the series, while the driver waits in the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved).
In Formula One, cars make pit stops with the primary purpose of refueling and changing tyres, although during the 2005 season tyre changing during the race was prohibited. Teams sometimes also make adjustments to the front and rear wings and perform minor repairs, most commonly replacing the nose and front wing assembly. Pit strategies generally call for between one and three scheduled stops, depending on the course.
When the car is approximately one lap away from making its stop, the team's pit crew will set up fresh tyres and all needed pit equipment. Because of the overhead fuel and pneumatic rig, the team may have all pit mechanics in position prior to the car's arrival, with the exception of the rear jack man.
A pit stop involves about twenty mechanics, with the aim of completing the stop as quickly as possible. It lasts for six to twelve seconds depending on how much fuel is put into the car. However, if there is a problem, such as a fuel pump failing or the engine stalling, or repairs having to be made, it can take much longer. Cars are fuelled at a rate of more than 12 litres per second. This is accomplished by a fairly complex closed system that pumps air out of the car's fuel tank as the fuel is being pumped in.

Los boxes comprenden el "pit lane", o carril de boxes, que corre paralelo a la recta de salida/meta y conectado a ella por los extremos, y una hilera de garajes (normalmente uno por equipo). El trabajo de la parada en boxes, que se lleva a cabo fuera de los garages, lo realiza un equipo de entre 5 y 20 mecánicos dependiendo del tipo de deporte, mientras el piloto espera en el vehículo (excepto cuando hay cambio de piloto).
En Fórmula 1, los coches hacen una parada en boxes con el prpósito principal de recargar combustible y cambiar ruedas, aunque en la temporada 2005 estuvo prohibido el cambio de ruedas. Los equipos a veces hacen ajustes en los alerones delanteros y traseros, así como reparaciones menores, como cambiar el morro. Las estrategias de boxes suelen comprender entre una y tres paradas, dependiendo de la carrera.
Cuando el coche está a una vuelta de la parada, el equipo de boxes prepara ruedas nuevas y todo el equipamiento necesario. Todos los mecánicos están en sus posiciones cuando llega el coche, excepto el encargado del elevador trasero.
Una parada en boxes implica veinte mecánicos, con el objetivo de completar la parada en el mínimo tiempo posible, que son entre seis y doce segundos dependiendo de la cantidad de combustible repostada. Sin embargo, su ocurre un problema como un fallo en la bomba de combustible o una parada de motor, o hay reparaciones adicionales, el tiempo se puede prolongar. Los coches repostan a razón de 12 litros por segundo. Este rápido repostaje se lleva a cabo por un complejo sistema cerrado que bombea aire fuera del depósito a medida que se llena de combustible.

That's right, folks. I'm back. Did you miss me while I was sans internet on my camping trip? I feel a little out of sorts right now. I'm going to need to spend some time catching up on your streams. It feels good to be back home with my face paint, though. :) Thought I'd finish August off with one of these shots since I had stick to pretty simple on the camping trip.
I am still so freaking exhausted today. I slept for about eleven hours and I still feel like I'm dragging myself around in a daze. Oh, and to everybody who asked I'm feeling MUCH better as far as my stomach issues from last week and also the mouth/lymph node agony. Thank god. That was some serious pain and misery. I'm glad it started clearing up and improving on the first day of the trip or I would have had a horrible time.
I still have more pictures from the trip to upload, but I figure I'll try to do that slowly, here and there, rather than just bombarding you all. :)

These photos of the Starlings were taken almost exactly a year ago from my kitchen window. They are frequenting my backyard and the feeders in large groups again this year.
December is very busy for me so I reluctantly put my camera away to avoid temptation. Once I have a camera in my hand, I am very easily distracted and the time just flies by. It would be nice to have a few extra hours in a day to fit everything in!
Hope that everyone is enjoying December and your preparations for the holiday season are going well. I don't have much time to comment but I do try to at least view your photos. I promise I will take time to make comments soon!
If you have the time, click here to see my photos on Darckr.

A recent thread at Asterisk (this is APOD's discussion forum) got me looking at this beautiful object and the data in Hubble's archive. I noticed there was a very intimate look at the center of this starburst galaxy featuring many bright, young stars comprising super star clusters and decided to process it, making sure not to over brighten the star clusters so that as many details would remain preserved as possible.
In the center is Cluster A, which is actually two clusters which are called A1 and A2. At lower left, the next brightest cluster is called Cluster B. To the upper right is Cluster C, which is somewhat enshrouded in nebula.
Other star clusters are also visible as dimmer, soft yellow blobs which almost look like elliptical galaxies because it's very hard to make out any individual members. I'm not sure what kind of star clusters those are. To me they look a lot like small globular clusters. One may be tempted to conclude that we are seeing the life cycle of globular clusters in some kind of holy grail moment, but something tells me that if that were the case it would have made headlines somewhere. Our knowledge about the formation of globular clusters is murky at best. Does NGC 1569 offer any insights?

The Roll of Honour site refers to the War memorial in the churchyard. Although there is also a wooden memorial plaque in the church, this appears to be identical in practically every detail, other than adding that the Korean War individual died in 1952.

1901 Census The 10 year old Frederick is listed in an “Institution” as a Pauper - possibly the Union Work House Aylsham. His status is son of a Domestic Servant. His 28 year old mother, Sophia, (marital status listed as Single), is also resident, along with possibly a sister of Sophia, Sarah, aged 22 who is described as “feeble-minded”. All were born in Cawston.
On the Day the 1st Norfolks were engaged in the battle of St Julian, (part of 2nd Ypres), which had seen the first use of poison gas on the Western Front. This part of 2nd Ypres was coming to an end, with troops being pulled back to more defensible lines after several holes had been punched in the Allied front. I can find no reference specifically to the 1st Norfolks on this date, but the 1st Bedfords, in the same Brigade were definitely in the front line and being subject to gas attack.

<On the DayOn 12th October 1915 the Battalion moved from billets to a line in front of the St Elie Quarries, taking over from the Coldstream Guards. The attack was planned to go ahead the following day under a smoke cloud with the Norfolks closing on the German trenches from both ends of their position thus straightening their line, their own trenches being in a semi-circle. The left side of the Battalion was also tasked with bombing a German communications trench. A bright sunny day with an ideal wind for moving the smoke towards the enemy positions, the artillery bombardment began at 12:00 and was intensive by 13:45. 54 heavy and 86 field howitzers and 286 field guns fired on enemy trenches in the area of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, Fosse 8, the Quarries, Gun Trench and the positions south to Chalk Pit Wood. It failed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy positions. The smoke barrage went wrong and ceased by 13:40, twenty minutes before the attack was launched at 14:00 and was thus very thin. German machine gun fire from in front and from the direction of Slag Alley, opposite the Norfolks right flank, enfiladed their attack. Whilst they gained a foothold in the Quarries and consolidated the position they were unable to advance further. In the battalions first serious engagement they lost 5 Officers killed or died of wounds and 6 wounded, and 66 other ranks killed, 196 wounded and 160 missing.

The first action at Gaza took place before dawn on 2 November when the 161st and 162nd Brigades of the 54th Division attacked the Turkish trench system in the sand dunes between Gaza and the sea. On this occasion it was a night attack by well prepared troops with overwhelming artillery support and armoured (six tanks). The British infantry advanced about 2 miles on a 5,000 yard front and held their gains against repeated Turkish counter-attacks. Casualty figures were heavy for both sides but this time favoured the British.

On the DayWESTERN FRONT
9 April-15 May Battle of Arras, including
23-24 April Second Battle of the Scarpe (Second phase of Arras Offensive), 63rd (RN) Division captured Gavrelle
The attack on Gavrelle was commenced on 23 April and was carried out by the 189th and 190th Brigades. At 4.45 a.m. Nelson and Drake battalions went over the top under cover of an artillery barrage. The first line of German trenches was quickly taken, and an hour later the attack was ceased at the edge of the village.
The artillery barrage was relocated across the village, which was reduced to rubble. Other battalions from the brigade were moved forward. House to house fighting led to the taking of Gavrelle, at the cost of 1,500 casualties.
Virtually all the remaining reservists of the original Royal Naval Division lost their lives at Gavrelle. They were the veterans who had survived the fighting at Gallipoli and at the Ancre.

On the Day 19th April 1917 During the 2nd Battle of Gaza,
Facing the Tank Redoubt was the 161st Brigade of the 54th Division. To their right were the two Australian battalions (1st and 3rd) of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who had dismounted about 4,000 yards from their objective. As the infantry went in to attack at 7.30am they were joined by a single tank called "The Nutty" which attracted a lot of shell fire. The tank followed a wayward path towards the redoubt on the summit of a knoll where it was fired on point blank by four field guns until it was stopped and set alight in the middle of the position.
The infantry and the 1st Camel Battalion, having suffered heavy casualties on their approach, now made a bayonet charge against the trenches. About 30 "Camels" and 20 of the British infantry (soldiers of the 5th (territorial Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment) reached the redoubt, then occupied by around 600 Turks who immediately broke and fled towards their second line of defences to the rear.
The British and Australians held on unsupported for about two hours by which time most had been wounded. With no reinforcements at hand and a Turkish counter-attack imminent, the survivors endeavoured to escape back to their own lines.

To the right (west) of Tank Redoubt, the 3rd Camel Battalion, advancing in the gap between two redoubts, actually made the furthest advance of the battle, crossing the Gaza-Beersheba Road and occupying a pair of low hills (dubbed "Jack" and "Jill"). As the advances on their flanks faltered, the "Camels" were forced to retreat to avoid being isolated.

The richest 400 Americans -- that's right, just four-hundred people -- own MORE than the bottom 150 million Americans COMBINED! 400 of the wealthiest Americans have got more stashed away than half the entire country! Their combined net worth is $1.6 trillion. During the eight years of the Bush Administration, their wealth has increased by nearly $700 billion -- the same amount that they were demanding We give to them for the "bailout." Why don't they just spend the money they made under Bush to bail themselves out? They'd still have nearly a trillion dollars left over to spread amongst themselves!
Of course, they are not going to do that -- at least not voluntarily. George W. Bush was handed a $127 billion surplus when Bill Clinton left office. Because that money was OUR money and not HIS, he did what the rich prefer to do -- spend it and never look back. Now we have a $9.5 trillion debt that will take seven generations from which to recover. Why -- on --earth – did -- our -- "representatives" -- give -- these -- robber -- barons -- $US850 BILLION -- of – OUR -- money?
Last week, proposed my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below, were predicated on the singular and simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstraps. Sorry, fellows, but you drilled it into our heads one too many times: THERE...IS...NO…FREE... LUNCH ~ PERIOD! And thank you for encouraging us to hate people on welfare! So, there should have been NO HANDOUTS FROM US TO YOU! Last Friday, after voting AGAINST this BAILOUT, in an unprecedented turn of events, the House FLIP-FLOPPED their "No" Vote & said "Yes", in a rush version of a "bailout" bill vote. IN SPITE OF THE PEOPLE'S OVERWHELMING DISAPPROVAL OF THIS BAILOUT BILL... IN SPITE OF MILLIONS OF CALLS FROM THE PEOPLE CRASHING WASHINGTON "representatives'" PHONE LINES...IN SPITE OF CRASHING OUR POLITICIAN'S WEBSITES...IN SPITE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PROTESTING AROUND THE COUNTRY... THEY VOTED FOR THIS BAILOUT! The People first succeeded on Monday with the House, but failed do it with the Senate and then THE HOUSE TURNED ON US TOO!
It is clear, though, we cannot simply continue protesting without proposing exactly what it is we think THESE IDIOTS should/'ve do/one. So, after consulting with a number of people smarter than Phil Gramm, here’s the proposal, now known as "Mike's Rescue Plan." (From Michael Moore's Bailout Plan) It has 10 simple, straightforward points. They are that you DIDN'T, BUT SHOULD'VE:
1. APPOINTED A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO CRIMINALLY INDICT ANYONE ON WALL STREET WHO KNOWINGLY CONTRIBUTED TO THIS COLLAPSE. Before any new money was expended, Congress should have committed, by resolution, to CRIMINALLY PROSECUTE ANYONE who had ANYTHING to do with the attempted SACKING OF OUR ECONOMY. This means that anyone who committed insider trading, securities fraud or any action that helped bring about this collapse should have and MUST GO TO JAIL! This Congress SHOULD HAVE called for a Special Prosecutor who would vigorously go after everyone who created the mess, and anyone else who attempts to scam the public in future. (I like Elliot Spitzer ~ so, he played a little hanky-panky...Wall Street hates him & this is a GOOD thing.)
2. THE RICH SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THEIR OWN BAILOUT! They may have to live in 5 houses instead of 7. They may have to drive 9 cars instead of 13. The chef for their mini-terriers may have to be reassigned. But there is no way in hell, after forcing family incomes to go down more than $2,000 dollars during the Bush years, that working people and the middle class should have to fork over one dime to underwrite the next yacht purchase.
If they truly needed the $850 billion they say they needed, well, here is an easy way they could have raised it:
a) Every couple makeing over a million dollars a year and every single taxpayer who makes over $500,000 a year should pay a 10% surcharge tax for five years. (It's the Senator Sanders plan. He's like Colonel Sanders, only he's out to fry the right chickens.) That means the rich would have still been paying less income tax than when Carter was president. That would have raise a total of $300 billion.
b) Like nearly every other democracy, they should have charged a 0.25% tax on every stock transaction. This would have raised more than $200 billion in a year.
c) Because every stockholder is a patriotic American, stockholders should have forgone receiving a dividend check for ONE quarter and instead this money would have gone the treasury to help pay for the bullsh*t bailout.
d) 25% of major U.S. corporations currently pay NO federal income tax. Federal corporate tax revenues currently amount to 1.7% of the GDP compared to 5% in the 1950s. If we raised the corporate income tax BACK to the levels of the 1950s, this would give us an extra $500 billion.
All of this combined should have been enough to end the calamity. The rich would have gotten to keep their mansions and their servants and our United States government ("COUNTRY FIRST!") would've have a little leftover to repair some roads, bridges and schools...
3. YOU SHOULD HAVE BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES, NOT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BUILD AN EIGHTH HOME! There are 1.3 million homes in foreclosure right now. That is what is at the heart of this problem. So, instead of giving the money to the banks as a gift, they should have paid down each of these mortgages by $100,000. They should have forced the banks to renegotiate the mortgage so the homeowner could pay on its current value. To insure that this help wouldn't go to speculators and those who tried to making money by flipping houses, the bailout should have only been for people's primary residences. And, in return for the $100K pay-down on the existing mortgage, the government would have gotten to share in the holding of the mortgage so it could get some of its money back. Thus, the total initial cost of fixing the mortgage crisis at its roots (instead of with the greedy lenders) is $150 billion, not $850 BILLION.
And let's set the record straight. People who have defaulted on their mortgages are not "bad risks." They are our fellow Americans, and all they wanted was what we all want: a home to call their own. But, during the Bush years, millions of the People lost the decent paying jobs they had. SIX MILLION fell into poverty! SEVEN MILLION lost their health insurance! And, every one of them saw their real wages go DOWN by $2,000! Those who DARE look down on these Americans who got hit with one bad break after another should be ASHAMED.! We are a better, stronger, safer and happier society when all of our citizens can afford to live in a home they own.
4. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STIPULATION THAT IF YOUR BANK OR COMPANY GOT ANY OF OUR MONEY IN A "BAILOUT," THEN WE OWN YOU. Sorry, that's how it's done. If the bank gives me money so I can buy a house, the bank "owns" that house until I pay it all back -- with interest. Same deal for Wall Street. Whatever money you need to stay afloat, if our government considers you a safe risk -- and necessary for the good of the country -- then you can get a loan, but WE SHOULD OWN YOU. If you default, we will sell you. This is how the Swedish government did it and it worked.
5. ALL REGULATIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BE RESTORED. THE REAGAN REVOLUTION IS DEAD! This catastrophe happened because we let the fox have the keys to the hen-house. In 1999, Phil Gramm authored a bill to remove all the regulations that governed Wall Street and our banking system. The bill passed and Clinton signed it. Here's what Sen.Phil Gramm, McCain's chief economic advisor, said at the bill signing:
"In the 1930s ... it was believed that government was the answer. It was believed that stability and growth came from government overriding the functioning of free markets.
"We are here today to repeal [that] because we have learned that government is not the answer. We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by having competition and freedom.
"I am proud to be here because this is an important bill; it is a deregulatory bill. I believe that that is the wave of the future, and I am awfully proud to have been a part of making it a reality."
FOR THIS NOT TO REOCCUR, This BILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPEALED! Bill Clinton could have helped by leading the effort for the repeal of the Gramm bill and the reinstating of even tougher regulations regarding our financial institutions. And when they were done with that, they should have restored the regulations for the airlines, the inspection of our food, the oil industry, OSHA, and every other entity that affects our daily lives. All oversight provisions for any "bailout" should have had enforcement monies attached to them and criminal penalties for all offenders.
6. IF IT'S TOO BIG TO FAIL, THEN THAT MEANS IT'S TOO BIG TO EXIST! Allowing the creation of these mega-mergers and not enforcing the monopoly and anti-trust laws has allowed a number of financial institutions and corporations to become so large, the very thought of their collapse means an even bigger collapse across the entire economy. No ONE or TWO companies should EVER have this kind of power! The so-called "economic Pearl Harbor" can't happen when you have hundreds -- thousands -- of institutions where people have their money. When we have a dozen auto companies, if one goes belly-up, we DON'T FACE A NATIONAL DISASTER! If we have three separately-owned daily newspapers in your town, then one media company can't call all the shots (I know... What am I thinking?! Who reads a paper anymore? Sure glad all those mergers and buyouts left us with a STRONG and "FREE" press!). Laws Should have been enacted to prevent companies from being so large and dominant that with one slingshot to the eye, the GIANT FALLS and DIES. And no institution should be allowed to set up money schemes that NO ONE understands. If you can't explain it in two sentences, you shouldn't be taking anyone's money!
7. NO EXECUTIVE SHOULD EVER BE PAID MORE THAN 40 TIMES THEIR AVERAGE EMPLOYEE, AND NO EXECUTIVE SHOULD RECEIVE ANY KIND OF "PARACHUTE" OTHER THAN THE VERY GENEROUS SALARY HE OR SHE MADE WHILE WORKING FOR THE COMPANY. In 1980, the average American CEO made 45 times what their employees made. By 2003, they were making 254 times what their workers made. After 8 years of Bush, they now make over 400 times what their average employee makes. How We have allowed this to happen at publicly held companies is beyond reason. In Britain, the average CEO makes 28 times what their average employee makes. In Japan, it's only 17 times! The last I heard, the CEO of Toyota was living the high life in Tokyo. How does he do it on so little money? Seriously, this is an OUTRAGE! We have created the mess we're in by letting the people at the top become bloated beyond belief with millions of dollars. THIS HAS TO STOP! Not only should no executive who receives help out of this mess profit from it, but any executive who was in charge of running his company into the ground should be FIRED before the company receives ANY help.
8. CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE STRENGTHENED THE FDIC AND MADE IT A MODEL FOR PROTECTING NOT ONLY PEOPLE'S SAVINGS, BUT ALSO THEIR PENSIONS AND THEIR HOMES. Obama was correct to propose expanding FDIC protection of people's savings in their banks to $250,000. But, this same sort of government insurance must be given to our NEVER have to worry about whether or not the money they've put away for their old age will be there. This should have meant strict government oversight of companies who manage their employees' funds -- or perhaps it means the companies should have been forced to turn over those funds and their management to the government? People's private retirement funds must also be protected, but perhaps it's time to consider not having one's retirement invested in the casino known as the stock market??? Our government should have a solemn duty to guarantee that no one who grows old in this country has to worry about becoming destitute.
9. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH, CALM DOWN, AND NOT LET FEAR RULE THE DAY. Turn off your TVs! We are NOT in the Second Great Depression. The sky is NOT falling, Chicken Little! Pundits and politicians have lied to us so FAST and FURIOUS it's hard not to be affected by all the fear mongering. Even I wrote to and repeated what I heard on the news last week, that the Dow had the biggest one day drop in its history. Well, that was true in terms of points, but its 7% drop came nowhere close to Black Monday in 1987 when the stock market in one day lost 23% of its value. In the '80s, 3,000 banks closed, but America didn't go out of business. These institutions have always had their ups and downs and eventually it works out. It has to, because the rich do not like their wealth being disrupted! They have a vested interest in calming things down and getting back into their Jacuzzis before they slip into their million thread-count sheets to drift off to a peaceful, Vodka tonic and Ambien-induced slumber.
As crazy as things are right now, tens of thousands of people got a car loan last week. Thousands went to the bank and got a mortgage to buy a home. Students just back to college found banks more than happy to put them into hock for the next 15 years with a student loan. I was even pre-approved for a US$5K personal loan. Yes, life has gone on with little-or-no-change (other than the whopping 6.1% umeployment rate, but that happened last month). Not a single person lost any of his/her monies in bank, or a treasury note, or in a CD. And, the perhaps the most amazing thing is that the American public FINALLY didn't buy the scare campaign. The citizens didn't blink, instead telling Congress to take that bailout and shove it. THAT was impressive. Why didn't the population succumb to the fright-filled warnings from their president and his cronies? Well, you can only say 'Saddam has the bomb' so many times before the people realize you're a lying sack of shit. After eight long years, the nation is worn out and simply can't take it any longer. The WORLD is fed up & I don't blame them.
10. THEY SHOULD HAVE CREATED A NATIONAL BANK, A "PEOPLE'S BANK." Since they're really itching to print up a trillion dollars, instead of giving it to a few rich people, why don't We give it to ourselves? Now that We own Freddie and Fannie, why not set up a People's bank? One that can provide low-interest loans for all sorts of people who want to own a home, start a small business, go to school, come up with the cure for cancer or create the next great invention. And, now that we own AIG - the country's largest insurance company - let's take the next step and PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR EVERYONE. MEDICARE FOR ALL! It will SAVE us SO MUCH MONEY in the LONG RUN (not to mention bring peace of mind to all). And, America won't be 12th on the life expectancy list! We'll be able to have a longer lifespan, enjoying our government-protected pension and will live to see the day when the corporate criminals who caused this much misery are let out of prison so that We can help re-acclimate them to plain old ordinary, civilian life -- a life with ONE nice home and ONE gas-free car invented with help from the People's Bank.
P.S. Call your Senators NOW !!! ---> www.visi.com/juan/congress/
Since they voted against passing the extension of unemployment benefits and skipped out to "campaign" to us to be re-elected...call them and tell them you will vote for the other "guy" if they don't get their act together!
UPDATE:
The Bailout Is A Truly Evil Disaster And Enabler Pelosi Must Go
We are hearing more and more reports of how badly the ill-advised banker's bailout is being handled, multi-million dollar bonuses for Paulson's old cronies at Goldman Sachs, billions going to finance the takeover of rival banks, making the "too big to fail" even bigger, and the taxpayer getting an otherwise rotten deal for their investment. We even heard a Republic senator asking how fast they could blow the money.
NONE of this could have happened without the fawning complicity of Nancy Pelosi, who infamously said it was Bush's proposal, INSTEAD of coming forward with a robust alternative plan. Just like Bush, she believes she is immune, she believes she is unaccountable, and shame on us if we don't do everything we can to defeat her this Tuesday, and replace her with Cindy Sheehan.

There is still time for you to make a real difference. We thank all of our participants who have already donated so generously to make this campaign what it is. For those who cannot make a contribution, please consider helping with the phone banking, and there is a link for that also on the page above.
The one thing we know is that we must continue to speak out. We must continue to challenge. Surrendering is what our current so-called representatives in Congress are so prone to, NOT what we do. Ultimate victory is not only possible, it is assured if we work as hard as we can for real change, not just the rebranding of the same old boys'
network.
And we promise you, immediately after the election we will go right back to work on pure issue advocacy full time, to continue to build the base of action for the future.

Tell the swine we will make it out alive
There's a note in the pages of the book
So sleep tonight, we'll sleep dreamlessly this time
When we awake we'll know that everything's all right.
And sing to me about the end of the world
End of these hammers and needles for you.
Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for,
There's still strength left in us yet.
Hold on to the world we all remember dying for,
There's still hope left in it yet.
The snow on your face, and your razor blades;
The twilight is bruised and there you lie.
15/30: I sit back and observe everyone's ambitions and wants,
And I smile and encourage them. And it's not that I don't believe
they can do as they wish; I just know that they won't. There are
some things in life that some people just can't do. And at this
age, your dreams are bound to be crushed. I know that 80% of
the people I know hardly work hard enough for what they want.
Not in school, not anywhere else. There are about two or three
people I can think of that I figure will get what they want in life.
And one of those people, I'm sure, will be me. In some form or
another. I am completely modest in everything that I do, but when
it comes to this, I KNOW I can persevere. I have a wonderful boy
at my side and a strong will to achieve what I feel is what is for me.
Sometimes I just want to tell people to give it up; I know you aren't
going to get anywhere. That may be harsh. But with the paths you
are going down... you know, honies, money can't buy everything.
Schools, stop giving your kids those pointless speeches. Because
the ones you're speaking to don't give a shit about their education.
And when they do, it's just for selfish reasons.
