There is this awesome, amazing, epic band that is known as Jack's Mannequin. On their latest album, The Glass Passenger, one of the tracks is 'Annie Use Your Telescope'. My dear friend Megan, who is hopelessly in love with Andrew McMahon, the brains behind Jack's Mannequin and my obsession, /Something Corporate. (I was turned on to SoCo when I was 12, hardcore love.) Soon after their most recent album was released, I turned Megan on to Flickr, and that is why her Flickr name is Megan Use Your Telescope.

Back log. Still have 3 more days to edit and upload. Gah.
Oh, and one last thing. Have to give credit to Caitlin for the Post-It note idea. I was just going to use a Sharpie on my shirt :p
People where dining in the restaurant and found it very amusing that I was carrying a tripod all around the car and back to take some shots.
It was very cold that evening, as is visable as ice on the roof of the car, so I was frozen solid when I got some 30 shots of this incredible blue Vantage!
I never posted this shot before on Flickr but I actually quite like it with the candles and people inside the restaurant. I checked the exif-data but I wonder why it shows two focal lenghts.. Did it really move during the 30 seconds exposure?

"Uit Maastricht meldt men, dat de Minderbroeders die de gelofte van kuischheid en armoede moeten doen, aldaar een prachtig klooster hebben bekomen, dat welligt f. 300.000 kost. Thans wordt er op de goederen van de familie de Valenstar een klooster gebouwd met 70 cellen, voor de uit Italië en Frankrijk verjaagde Jezuïten. Men vraagt op het boekwerk van den heer Van Hugenpoth en het later door de Regering voorgeschreven onderzoek naar de uitbreiding van de kloosterbouw, tot niets zullen leiden?".

Parus caeruleus
El herrerillo común (Parus (Cyanistes) caeruleus) es un ave de la familia de los páridos. Es uno de los pájaros de mayor colorido de Europa: su librea azul, verde, amarilla y blanquinegra es inconfundible. Ave ampliamente distribuida por el continente europeo, norte de África y Oriente Medio, se conocen varias subespecies.
Taxonomía
Herrerillo en una rama.
La especie fue descrita por primer vez por Lineo en su Systema naturae de 1758 como Parus caeruleus.1
La mayor parte de las autoridades mantiene Cyanistes como subgénero de Parus, aunque la Unión Británica de Ornitólogos trata Cyanistes como un género distinto.
Existen dos subespecies africanas. Una en las islas Canarias (P. c. teneriffae), con una mancha negra en la cabeza, y otra en el noroeste de África, desde el norte de Marruecos al norte de Libia, (P. c. ultramarinus), con la espalda o manto azul.
Valley del Frances: The French Valley: A large valley that forms the central arm of the famed 'W' hike in Torres del Paine.
Spectacular granite spires and mountains of the Andean cordillera surrounded me. The cirque ahead of me lined with impressive cliffs. To the west rises the abbrupt walls of Cerro Cota and Cerro Cathedral. To the east, from north to south, lie the peaks of Fortaleza, La Espada, La Hoja, la Mascara, Cuerno Norte and Cuerno Principal. Behind me, stretched far out into the valley, lay the twisted edges of Lago Nordenskjold, glimmering in the late afternoon sun.
But thats as far as physical features go. To really experience it, you really have to be there!.
Words cannot describe the beauty of the scene we were looking at. Neither can pictures do justice. From west to east, a range of mountains necked by hanging glaciers surrounded us. Waterfalls fell in long cascades from the top of these granite peaks, its glacial meltwater disappearing into thick forests that permeated the level below the snowline. The sharp peaks rising all around us redefined the size of this national park - it was beauty beholden, it was nature as nature intended; it was landscape as landscape intended; it was earth as earth intended.
And all we could do was to be a silent spectator to this magnificent spectacle, overwhelmed and inspired at the same time. Emotions were reduced to being simplistically complex; and the scale in our minds could only go so far. Nothing of what I have seen in my travels compared to the one I was seeing now. It was truly the highlight of this trip and this hike in particular.
Here is a panorama from the second Mirador in Valle del Frances. I believe 7 images were comped to give this single shot. I just wished I had blue skies to go with this!
Do view it large to do it justice!.

Lately I´ve gathered informations and pictures about human anatomy, especially for the muscles and about standart proportion rules for the human body. Some of these informations I´ve put together in this collage.
These are guidelines that helps constructing a human body. For example it tells you that an "ideal" proportioned body is about eight head units (the height of the head from chin to top) tall and which important spots are located at each step.
Further how the head is subdivided to find the points for the eyes, the nose the mouth and so on. The eyes are located vertically at about the middle of the head. The distance between both eyes are the length of one eye. The width of the nose also is one eye unit. The ears are located between eyebrowes and nosetip.
The nipples are one head unit apart (I´ve tested this on me, its true ^^) and the straight line from the navel over a nipple leads to the edge of the shoulder.
The points are not perfect in this collage because I took the pictures for the muscles, the skeleton, the head and even the scale from different places, but you can see that they have used the same proportions. It nearly fits, only the navel is a bit off.
I´m not happy with the comic-like head here, but its just a sketch.
I´ll use this collage as a guideline to draw a sheet like this on my own as an excersise, mainly to get used to the proportions, to where the muscles are located and how everything goes together. Now I just need my tablet. With a little luck it will arrive tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.
I really love this song.....and it can be interpretated many ways.
For myself, I find that I am my own worst enemy. I have a hard time forgiving myself of things in my past....or even though I may have forgiven somebody else for things done to me....there is a scar that remains. Sometimes I feel like the"old" me has a grip on the "present" me...and I just want her to LET GO, so that I don't lost myself.
"Let Go" - RED
Hey you, look what you do to me
You bend and you bruise me
Why you try to control me?
But you don't know me
How come you just want to hurt me?
How come you just want to push me?
I can't ignore you anymore
Cause everywhere I turn you
You burn me, you break me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?
I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading
Just let go! (look what you do to me)
Let go! (look what you do to me)
Hey you, look what you do to me
You burnt and you scared me
With all that you tell me (but I don't listen!)
You love me, you hate me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?
I don't wanna be afraid I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading
Just let
You kept pushing me
You keep using me
You keep twisting me
You keep breaking me
You can't have me anymore [x3]
You can't have me, let go!
I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading
Just let go! Let go! Just let go!
I don't wanna be afraid
Let go! (I don't wanna run away!)
Just let go! Let go! Let go!

Two opposing styles unite in this building, endowing it with a special beauty, in spite of its austerity.
The former building was a mosque, maybe with five original naves and a subsequent sixth one, and an alminar.A big part of the side walls from this period remain, as well as the mihrab in the quibla wall and another opening where the alminbar ( a mobile wooden pulpit for the preacher)was kept. The starting point of the arches leading to the sahn, the oriental galleries and the canes supporting the eaves of the roof, also remain from this time.
After the christian conquest, the alminar was firstly elevated and buttressed so that it could stand the bells' weight by covering the former structure. Subsequently, maybe in the 15th century, the arches of the middle naves were pulled down to build a higher three aisled church, and a large gothic-mudejar apse with a star-shaped ribbed vault, that would be completed in 1515. During the Spanish Civil War a remarkable mudejar coffered ceiling burnt up.

En este edificio religioso se aunan dos estilos contrapuestos que lo dotan de una estética bella, a pesar de su austeridad.
El primero de ellos fue mezquita, tal vez también con cinco naves originales y una sexta posterior, así como alminar. De este periodo se conserva gran parte de los muros laterales, con el mihrab en el muro de la quibla y otro hueco donde se guardaba el alminbar, que era un púlpito de madera móvil desde donde se predicaba. También se conserva el arranque de los arcos que daban paso al sahn, las galerías orientales, y los canes del alero de cubierta.
Tras la conquista cristiana en un primer momento se elevó y reforzó al alminar para que soportase el peso de las campanas, cubriendo la estructura anterior. Con posterioridad, tal vez en el siglo XV, se derribaron los arcos de las naves centrales y se construyó una iglesia de planta de tres naves de mayor altura y ábside gótico-mudéjar de gran trazado, con bóveda estrellada, que se terminaría en 1515. Durante la guerra civil española se quemó un interesante artesonado mudéjar.

The Magnificent and beautiful lady, the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, New York City. I was so moved by her stunning beauty and impressed by the absolute perfection of this marvelous representation of liberty. I took this photo of the magnificent Statue of Liberty on my first trip to Liberty Island and New York City in October 2004. She is of utmost beauty and I was totally blown away by her magnifigance.
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant le monde), known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), is a large statue that was presented to the United States by France in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island, New York in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship from France to America. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue, and Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique.
The statue is of a female figure standing upright, dressed in a robe and a seven point spiked rays representing a nimbus (halo), holding a stone tablet close to her body in her left hand and a flaming torch high in her right hand. The tablet bears the words "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" (July 4, 1776), commemorating the date of the United States Declaration of Independence.
The statue is made of a sheeting of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf. It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151' 1" (46.5 m) tall, with the pedestal and foundation adding another 154 feet (46.9 m).
Worldwide, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the United States, and, more generally, represents liberty and escape from oppression. The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the jet age, often one of the first glimpses of the United States for millions of immigrants after ocean voyages from Europe. The Statue of Liberty's obviously classical appearance (Roman stola, sandals, facial expression) derives from Libertas, ancient Rome's goddess of freedom from slavery, oppression, and tyranny. Broken shackles lie at her feet. The seven spikes in the crown represent the Seven Seas and seven continents. Her torch signifies enlightenment. The tablet in her hand shows the date of the nation's birth, July 4, 1776.
Since 1903, the statue, also known as "Lady Liberty," has been associated with Emma Lazarus's poem “The New Colossus” and has been a symbol of welcome to arriving immigrants. The interior of the pedestal contains a bronze plaque inscribed with the poem, which reads:
“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
There are 354 steps inside the statue and its pedestal. There are 25 windows in the crown which comprise the jewels beneath the seven rays of the diadem. The tablet which the Statue holds in her left hand reads, in Roman numerals, "July 4, 1776" the day of America's independence from Britain. The Statue of Liberty was engineered to withstand heavy winds. Winds of 50 miles per hour cause the Statue to sway 3 inches (7.62 cm) and the torch to sway 5 inches (12.7 cm). This allows the Statue to move rather than break in high [wind load] conditions.

Mentre Prometeo giaceva incatenato alla montagna e subiva il castigo dell'aquila, Zeus meditava una punizione anche per gli uomini che Prometeo così stoltamente aveva aiutato.
Chiese a suo figlio Efesto di costruire un essere ad immagine e somiglianza delle dee olimpiche, da regalare agli uomini.
Venne così creata la donna, che tutti gli dei coprirono di regali: Afrodite le donò la bellezza, Hermes la curiosità, Era la capacità di generare figli agli uomini e così via. Per questo Zeus la chiamò Pandora, ovvero "Tutti i doni" e le donò uno strano vaso chiuso, proibendole di aprirlo.
Pandora venne portata al cospetto di Epimeteo -titano fratello di Prometeo- da Hermes, che la presentò come un dono di Zeus Olimpo agli uomini. Epimeteo subito se ne innamorò e la prese in sposa.
Passarono gli anni e Pandora era sempre morsa dalla curiosità di sapere che cosa Zeus avesse riposto dentro quel vaso così ben chiuso. Spesso lo prendeva in mano ma poi lo posava, seppur a malincuore, ricordando i consigli del Re degli Dei.
Un giorno Pandora prese il vaso, corrosa da una curiosità isterica, e forzò il coperchio con forza. Di colpo si staccò e il vaso si illuminò: venne percorso da un tremolìo e con un grido, Pandora lo allontanò dal suo viso. Cominciò ad uscire un fumo acre e denso, accompagnato da un terrificante rombo di tuono. Tra le volute nere come l'abisso si intravedevano facce sfigurate e urlanti: erano tutti i mali del mondo che Zeus aveva rinchiuso nel vaso affinchè non colpissero gli uomini. Un castigo terribile ma Zeus, nella sua lungimiranza, aveva chiuso nel vaso anche la Speranza, che da quel momento dà coraggio e forza all'uomo e gli permette di affrontare i mali della vita.

Prayer flags are colorful panels or rectangular cloths often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas to bless the surrounding countryside or for other purposes. Unknown in other branches of Buddhism, prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bön, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. Traditionally they are woodblock-printed with texts and images.
The Indian Buddhist Sutras, written on cloth in India, were transmitted to other regions of the world. These sutras, written on banners, were the origin of prayer flags. Legend ascribes the origin of the prayer flag to the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose prayers were written on battle flags used by the devas against their adversaries, the asuras. The legend may have given the Indian bhikku a reason for carrying the 'heavenly' banner as a way of signifying his commitment to ahimsa. This knowledge was carried into Tibet by 800 CE, and the actual flags were introduced no later than 1040 CE, where they were further modified. The Indian monk Atisha (980-1054 CE) introduced the Indian practice of printing on cloth prayer flags to Tibet.
Lung Ta (meaning "Wind Horse") horizontal prayer flags are of square or rectangular shape and are connected along their top edges to a long string or thread. They are commonly hung on a diagonal line from high to low between two objects (e.g., a rock and the top of a pole) in high places such as the tops of temples, monasteries, stupas or mountain passes.
Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five colors. The five colors represent the elements, and the Five Pure Lights and are arranged from left to right in a specific order. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana:
- Blue (symbolizing sky/space)
- White (symbolizing air/wind)
- Red (symbolizing fire)
- Green (symbolizing water)
- Yellow (symbolizing earth)

Las banderas de oración son coloridos paneles o paños rectangulares a menudo encadenados a lo largo de las crestas y de los picos de las montañas en el Himalaya para bendecir el terreno circundante o para otros propósitos. Desconocido en otras ramas del Budismo, se cree que las banderas de oración se originaron con Bön, que precedió el Budismo en el Tíbet. Tradicionalmente los textos y las imágenes son impresiones con plancha.
El Sutras budista indio, escrito en el paño en la India, fue transmitido a otras regiones del mundo. Estos sutras, escritos en banderas, eran el origen de las banderas de oración. La leyenda atribuye el origen de la bandera del rezo al Buda Shakyamuni, cuyos rezos fueron escritos en las banderas de batalla usadas por los devas contra sus adversarios, los asuras. La leyenda pudo haber dado al bhikku indio una razón para llevar la bandera “divina” como manera de significar su compromiso al ahimsa. Este conocimiento fue llevado en Tíbet por el año 800 DC, y las banderas reales fueron introducidas antes del 1040 DC, donde fueron modificadas más a fondo. El monje indio Atisha (980-1054) introdujo en el Tíbet la práctica india de la impresión en banderas de oración.
Las banderas horizontales de oración Lung Ta (significa “caballo del viento”) son de forma cuadrada o rectangular y están conectadas a lo largo de sus bordes superiores con una larga cuerda o hilo. Normalmente se cuelgan en una línea diagonal de arriba a abajo entre dos objetos (por ejemplo, de una roca a la punta de un poste) en lugares altos tales como las puntas de templos, de monasterios, de estupas o de pasos de montaña.
Tradicionalmente, las banderas de oración van en grupos de cinco, cada una de uno de cinco colores. Los cinco colores representan los elementos, y las cinco Luces Puras se disponen de izquierda a derecha en un orden específico. Los diversos elementos se asocian a diversos colores para tradiciones, los propósitos y el sadhana específicos:
- Azul (simbolizando cielo/espacio)
- Blanco (simbolizando aire/viento)
- Rojo (simbolizando fuego)
- Verde (simbolizando agua)
- Amarillo (simbolizando tierra)

Temple of Heaven is one of the real highlights of Beijing. It is situated in the southern Beijing City. It has been one of the most sacred sites for the whole country for the past five centuries. It worked as sacrificial compound buildings for the Ming and Qing emperors. It boasts of the largest sacrificial place in Beijing among a few imperial altars to Heaven, Earth, the Sun, the Moon super natures. What's the intriguing by-production of the temple is that if you enter the Temple of Heaven in the early morning, you can find many people doing all types of kung fu and taiji and other morning exercises. Furthermore, many people happily play each other with music, songs or cards. You can also join them if you want. The most highlight part of the temple is the unique century-old trees - row upon row of Chinese cypress, Chinese juniper and scholar trees etc. Some of the cypresses are over 600 years old! When once visiting the temple, Dr Henry Kissinger, said that the USA could rebuild the Temple of Heaven if it wanted, but it could not produce the trees!

The Intha
The dominant ethnicity of Lake Inle are the Intha, meaning sons of the lake. They are thought to have arrived from the Tavoy region of Southern Burma many centuries ago, and are linguistically related to the Bamar group. Today they speak an antiquated Burmese and are Buddhist.
The Intha live in bamboo houses built over the water on stilts and grow vegetables and fruit hydroponically on floating gardens that rise and fall with the tidesthus giving rise to the perception of 'floating villages'. The fertile water ensures an abundant harvest which get sold on 'floating markets' where goods are traded from one boat to another. The itinerary follows a five day cycle, rotating between the five larger villages on Lake Inle.
Most transport is by flat bottom canoes, propelled by a particular rowing style where the rower stands on one leg on the flattened stern of the canoe and wrapping the other around a long oar. The standing rowing method evolved to enable rowers to see over the tall reeds. Nevertheless the women row seated, eventhough they are equally adept at the standing style.
The Intha are best known for their unique fishing method, which is an extension of the rowing style, using a cone shaped bamboo framed wrapped with a fishing net, which is lowered to the bottom of the shallow Lake Inle with one hand and one foot. A bamboo stake is then driven into the net to agitate the water and drive the fish up. The net is then closed and the entire contraption is raised from the water.
The Intha should also be noted as weavers, producing the lotus cloth unique to the area, and worn by monks as ceremonial robes. They are best known however for creating traditional distinctive cotton cloth, the Inle Longyi. The patterns were originally Cambodian inspired, but now also drive from Thai and Indonesian influences. Silk brought in from China and Thailand are also used for more luxurious textiles, which are sold to tourists.
Lake Inle
Lake Inle is a freshwater lake of around 115square kilometers in Myanmar's Shan State located at an altitude of 880 meters. The lake is very shallow reaching no more than 2 or 3 meters depending on the season.
The lake is a tourist attraction for its images of the fishermen and their flat bottom canoes on mirror still water, as well as the the floating villages and markets. Time of course never stands still, and larger motor powered boats have made their way onto the lake, mainly as tourist transport, causing wakes that never existed before, while the market increasingly caters for tourist souvenirs. However given the political situation, tourism is still limited in Myanmar, but a number of very high quality lodges have sprung up along the lake shores.
Shan State
Shan State forms Myanmar's border with China, Laos and Thailand, and encompasses a quarter of Myanmar's total territory. Shan State derives its name from the local Shan people, who live largely rural lifestyles.
From the 1948 Myanmar independence, Chinese state and ethnic activity has increased, as have armed rebellions fueled by the emergence of war lords, who developed Shan State into a major opium growing area. Accordingly, the state is better known as the Golden Triangle or Shwe-Tri Gan and to this day, Myanmar is the world's second largest opium producer after Afghanistan, whilst the local people growing poppy continue to live below the poverty line. Heroin base is mostly produced within Myanmar and then transported by donkey across the mountainous Thailand border for conversion to heroin and transport to Bangkok and wider trafficking.
The heavily armed insurgence groups, including the 20,000 strong United Wa State Army (UWSA) that represent an undefined independent Wa State which would enclose Shan State, still render the zone unstable. The Wa people openly use the Yuan as currency, as opposed to the Myanmar Kyat, and in 2008 parts of Shan State were ceded autonomy.
Myanmar
Burma, or Myanmar as it has been renamed by the military dictatorship, derives its name from the Burmese word Bamar, which is pronounced 'Bama', and became 'Burma' in the colonial days. However in old Burmese it is pronounced Mranma or Myanmah, thus giving rise to Myanmar. The renaming remains the subject of debate, where the UN refers to 'Myanmar', the US, UK and France still refer to 'Burma', and yet the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal refer to 'Myanmar'. We've followed the UN and used current naming throughout this collection of photos, however with the alternatives included in the tags.

Psalm 139 (King James Version)
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

More photographs of Torquay, can be viewed by visiting my photography website - Beautiful England
Torquay has long been regarded as one of the most glamorous resorts of the English Riviera. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a prisoner, stood on the deck of HMS Bellerophon in Tor Bay and pronounced Torquay to be, "Beau". It is easy to see why he felt this. Built on seven green hills, overlooking Tor Bay, Torquay is a resort with a genuine European atmosphere. Sparkling white villas built by the Victorians, adorn the hill tops. The promenade is lined with palm trees and colourful gardens. There is a lively harbour and an international marina.
The Victorians named Torquay, "Queen of the Riviera" and it became one of the most popular resorts in the south of England. In 1848, South Devon Railway made the town easily accessible. Bathing became fashionable and separate beaches were designated for ladies and gentlemen to bathe. It was not until 1899 that mixed bathing was permitted.
Kent's Cavern attracted many visitors. Here were found human bones, together with those from Ice Age creatures, indicating for the first time that man had existed far earlier than previously thought. It is now a floodlit spectacle of stalagmites and stalactites situated close to Anstey's Cove and is open to the public.
The English Riviera has 22 miles of coastline, coves and cliffs and provides 19 varied beaches, some small and secluded, but still easily accessible. From Marine Drive there are extensive views over Thatcher Rock, across Tor Bay to Berry Head at Brixham. From Babbacombe Bay the red cliffs of Dawlish can be seen.
The BBC TV series, 'Fawlty Towers', is closely associated with Torquay. This comedy programme, staring John Cleese, as the eccentric hotelier, was first broadcast in 1975 and has been screened in over sixty countries. The hotel shown in the opening shots was, in fact, not in Torquay, but was the Wooburn Grange Country Club at Bourne End in Buckinghamshire, which has now been demolished.
The inspiration for Basil Fawlty was Donald Sinclair, the owner of Hotel Gleneagles, who Monty Python's Flying Circus team encountered in 1971. Whilst they were staying there, Donald Sinclair criticised Terry Gilliam for not using his knife and fork correctly and it is alleged Eric Idle's bag was thrown outside because Sinclair believed that there was a bomb in it! The Monty Python team moved out, but John Cleese, realising the potential, stayed on and brought his first wife, Connie Booth, to join him to experience Sinclair's unusual behaviour at first hand. She later co-wrote the programmes with her husband.
Sadly, Donald died in 1981. John Cleese affectionately described Donald Sinclair, a war hero, as, "the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met". Hotel Gleneagles still exists in Asheldon Road, Torquay. It has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, overlooking Lyme Bay.
Agatha Christie, the world famous crime writer, was born in Torquay and spent most of her life in the area. She often bathed at Beacon Cove, an original "ladies only beach" and Meadfoot Beach. The family home was in Barton Road. She was married on Christmas Eve 1914 and spent her honeymoon at The Grand Hotel. She owned 'Greenway', standing above the River Dart, near Brixham, for thirty-eight years, which she used as a summer home and retreat, until she died in 1976. It is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. Visitors can travel by ferry from Torquay or Brixham.
I've said this before but this summer here in Mississauga has gotta be the Red Admiral summer..I see these beauties everywhere I go..so many of them..around..Too beautiful NOT to photograph again and again and again lol :) Hope you aren't bored with seeing them..I'm not bored shooting them yet lol sorries.
"The red admiral butterfly belongs to the vanessid group of butterflies. They are among the largest and most colorful butterflies that inhabit the northern temperate regions of the world. Vanessa butterflies are found throughout much of the world. Besides the red admiral butterfly, this group includes the tortoiseshell, painted lady, peacock, Camberwell beauty, and comma butterflies."
"This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings."
"The common name "Red Admiral" compares this band to the chevrons on a naval uniform."

Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Cephalodella es un rotífero de pequeño tamaño y generalmente gran cabeza, y está representado por cerca de 190 especies que se reparten por las aguas de todo el Planeta.
La corona de Cephalodella se dispone oblicua con respecto al eje del cuerpo de este rotífero y es muy discreta si la comparamos por su tamaño con las de otros géneros más o menos próximos como Philodina o Ptygura. Su corto pie está formado por dos dedos alargados en forma de espina con los que se ancla a las algas o a los grumos de sedimento desde donde filtra el agua.
El género Cephalodella pertenece a un grupo de complicado reconocimiento. Las características de cada una de las especies, con frecuencia resultan difíciles de observar...y más todavía en ejemplares vivos. La cabeza de este rotífero es ancha y su aparato masticador puede presentar hasta seis formas diferentes.
Cephalodella tiene solo un pequeño ojo situado en la frente, otras veces, desplazado un poco hacia atrás se dispone en la “nuca”.
Hoy Cephalodella se ha asentado en un mullido colchón de sedimento y se dedica a bascular filtrando el agua y en este balanceo va recogiendo las pequeñas algas y otros diminutos organismos que le sirven de alimento.
La fotografía se ha tomado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia sobre una muestra recogida hace unas semanas en una laguna próxima a la localidad zamorana de Ricobayo

Its incredible how FAST the butterflies are.. Shot at 1/750s and still the motion blur...this is not camera shake (evident with the bottom left flower sharpness!)
WOW.. getting motion blur at such speed just shows how the butterflies take off and why its so hard to photograph them IN-FLIGHT!
I tried to catch the butterflies in flight literally dozens of times during this vacation... but this is the only one i have with me to showcase!

A more succinct version ran on Seattlest.
This building has housed many sad stories, but has a sign of hope.
It's at the corner of McClellan and Martin Luther King Way Jr. South in Seattle.
Here was my methodology: I went to King County Parcel Viewer to get the address for the building, and then searched the web and Seattle Times archives for that address and next door. I took names that came out and searched in the Washington State Digital Archives for dates of birth, marriage, and death; as well as spouses, parents and children. Then I took those dates and names and went back to Seattle Times to see if I could find more.
In 1905 Oheda Kulnujia came to America with her family from Turkey, joining an uncle who had been in Seattle since before the Yukon gold rush. In 1922 she married John Arten, who himself had arrived in the US in 1909 from Turkey or Armenia.
in 1927 John paid to have this building constructed at the corner of McClellan and then-Empire Way. It had easy access to streetcars and the Renton interurban just a block away on Rainier. And, it was located on a new road which was carrying more auto traffic every year. It was the boom time of the 1920s. Oheda gave birth to a daughter, Mary, in 1925. John paid $2200 for the building, and it had space for his shoe repair business in front and for his family to live in the back. (9/29/1927 ST p29)
In 1941 Mary was almost done in by all that auto traffic. The car she was in was struck by another car in a bad accident. But she made it through. In 1950 she was wed for a brief year, long enough to give birth to a daughter, also named Mary. Both kept the name Medzegian.
At the time of our old photograph, 1957, Mary was running a "snack bar" restaurant in half of the retail space. The boisterousness of the signs shows how well the family was doing.
Oheda passed away in 1964 (5/18/1964 ST p39). It's unclear of the exact cause, but both businesses were closed in 1967 and the equipment sold off. Perhaps as the younger Mary graduated high school her mother moved on? (ST classifieds February and March 1967)
And maybe John was no longer able to run his business. He died at the end of 1969. (12/15/1969 ST p45).
Mary -- or perhaps renters? -- lost her poodle "Taffy" in 1970 (2/18/1970 ST classfied)
The elder Mary owned the building until 2002, and passed away in 2004
The building was gutted by fire in 2007.
But just as it seems the story is petering out in sadness, two bright spots.
Good samaratins saved two people from the fire.
And now, a sign of hope in the fight against cancer graces the building.
www.cornwallinfocus.co.uk/mining/levant.php
Levant Mine is located 2 miles north of St.Just and is bounded to the east by Geevor Mine, to the west by Wheal Unity and to the south by Spearn Moor and Spearn Consols mines. Levant appears as a mine in its own right on maps dating from 1748 on and consists of an amalgamation of several smaller and more ancient concerns. Their names such as Boscregan and Unity live on as shaft names. What we would consider today as modern Levant was formed in about 1820 by a group of investors - known in the trade as 'mining adventurers', who agreed to raise the sum of £400 by purchasing 80 shares at £5 each.
Two of the main investors in the company were Lewis Charles Daubuz and Mr John Batten. Their leadership along with some excellent prospecting helped the company to locate a large copper deposit at a depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet) below the surface. The adventurers rapidly got a handsome return on their investment and further exploratory work was carried out. From 1835 Levant began raising tin and was soon to become an important tin producer too. In the period 1820 to 1930 Levant produced over 130,000 tons of copper ore of high (10%) grade and 24,000 tons of black tin. In 1912 5,278 ounces of silver and 4 ounces of gold were also sold.
Levant swallowed up the nearby mine of Spearne Consols - now known as Higher Bal. Shafts were opened up at Angwin's shaft, Tresize's shaft, Goldsworthy's shaft and Batten's shaft. The underground workings of Levant extended out under the sea but in general due to the bedrock being the impervious greenstone there were very few problems with flooding.
A 'man engine' was installed on Daubuz's shaft in 1856 reached by a tunnel from the Miner's Dry. The shaft subsequently became known as engine Shaft one of only a dozen or so installed in Cornish mines. The journey time from surface to work place was radically reduced from over an hour to less than half an hour in most cases. The workers arriving fresher and more ready for work into the bargain. Along with all the new shafts and the installation of the man engine all the usual associated surface buildings sprang up around the site - stamps, both Cornish stamps and Californian stamps types; a calciner for roasting the ore and a mill area containing rag frames and buddles.
Levant is quite unusual amongst Cornish mines in one respect as it did use pit ponies for a short time from 1893 to tram the ore on the main 278 fathom (below adit) tramming level some 1600 feet underground. Levant is also remembered for the Levant Mine Disaster in October 1919. The second worst loss of life underground in a Cornish mine. 31 men were lost when the man engine snapped and fell down through the shaft.

Been here a few times never happy due to the light and sky until today worth the £6 entrance fee as the gardens and flowers looked amazing.Think my job is done at this amazing location ;-)
An ancient site dating back to the 7th century was originally owned by the church but later acquired by the Button family in the 16th century. The name was changed to Dyffryn St. Thomas when the estate was sold to Thomas Pryce, who built the first building to be known as Dyffryn House. John Cory bought the estate in 1891 and built the present house two years later. He later commissioned Thomas Mawson to landscape the gardens to complement his magnificent house. After John Cory's death in 1910, his third son, Reginald, a keen horticulturalist and leading figure in the RHS, developed the gardens and arboretum notably through his joint sponsorship of several plant hunting expeditions. The most remarkable of the results of this is the Paper Bark Maple, Acer griseum, which was grown from seed brought back from China by Ernest Wilson.
After Reginald Cory's death in 1934, the estate went to his daughter Florence who died just two years later. It was then bought by Sir Cennydd Traherne who leased it in 1939 to Glamorgan County Council on a 999 year lease. The Grade I listed gardens are being restored in two phases with grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The first phase is for £3.25 million and the second for £2.9 million.
After visiting the Grand Canyon, we spent an afternoon visiting Williams, Arizona and walking down the old town Route 66 admiring the vintage buildings, cafes and shops. We still didn't see it all and want to return for another visit soon. In this shot of the cafe I used Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to enhance the original photo.
INFORMATION ON CRUISER'S CAFE 66:
Cruisers Cafe 66
233 W. Route 66
Williams, AZ
Enjoy a nostalgic experience at the Cruisers Cafe 66! Just imagine your favorite 1950s-style favorite high school hangout, add in cocktail service, and you have this charming Cafe. Here you will find classic American favorites, such as good burgers, steaks, ribs, seafood, salads, and malts. Special decor touches, such as the large mural, stuffed buffalo, and historic cars out front make this a Route 66 favorite. Adults and kids alike enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the jukebox tunes.
INFORMATION ON WILLIAMS, ARIZONA & ROUTE 66:
Relive the glory of Old Route 66 on the Route 66 Loop Through Williams, Arizona, the only stretch of Route 66 on the National Historic Register. At the turn of the century a muddy pathway developed along the railroad tracks. Within 20 years private booster clubs linked together sections of road to form a ribbon from Chicago to the West and it was called the Old Trails National Highway.
John Steinbeck, in 1939, proclaimed Route 66 as the “Mother Road” in his classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When the movie was made just a year later, it immortalized Route 66 in the American consciousness.
In 1926 U.S. Highway 66 was established to serve the ever increasing highway traffic. "Route 66", the Main Street of America, came right through Williams, and a great deal of tourist-related business grew up along the famous route.
The highway's heyday saw a succession of Dust Bowl migrants, World War II troops, families on vacation, and others making their way across "the mother road". But the increased traffic overwhelmed the highway and it was gradually replaced by the interstate system. In 1984, Williams became the last Route 66 town to be bypassed by the Interstate-40.
Much of Route 66 still remains as a reminder of the past, including the "loop" through Williams. Celebrating its heritage, the town of Williams recently returned Bill Williams Avenue to its original name of Route 66. This stretch of American history was awarded National Historic Register status in 1989. Williams' share of Route 66 is also home to The Route 66 Place, featuring Twister's Soda Fountain and the largest collection of Route 66 memorabilia in town.
Today you can cruise the loop on historic Route 66 in Williams, or take a leisurely stroll along the many shops and restaurants that line this legendary roadway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
October 13, 1984 (I wonder if it was a Friday) the last remaining stretch of Route 66 was bypassed by the opening of a six mile segment of nearby Interstate 40. But Williams lives on. It is another true Route 66 town. Williams not only survived but is at the heart of a Route 66 revival. The downtown area has been cleaned up; new streetlights, fresh paint, and sidewalks have brought the town back to life. The community takes pride in its special relationship to the Mother Road and it shows.
Williams was named for one of the most colorful of all Mountain Men, Old Bill Williams. Though it is debated whether he ever was in the area of the town and mountain that bears his name, it is a well known fact that he was "acquainted with every inch of the Far West" as he would have put it. Williams was founded in 1876 and nothing much happened here until the railroad arrived in 1882. In 1901 the Santa Fe Railroad laid tracks from Williams to the Grand Canyon and insured Williams' claim as Gateway to the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon Railroad reopened in the late 1980's and started running train tours to the Grand Canyon from the beautiful Frey Marcos Harvey House and Depot which has been restored to its former grandeur. The Grand Canyon has always been a Route 66 destination though it is located 50 miles from the Mother Road. Route 66 was always the primary highway vacationers used to get there.
Route 66 souvenir shops offer every imaginable piece of memorabilia of the old road. There are plenty of fine motels and cafes that bring back the flavor of Route 66 in its hey day. Williams is a great place to stop and explore and maybe even stay a day or two if you have the time.

Amigos/as:
La campaña contra el ingreso en prisión y la criminalización de los manteros atraviesa un momento crítico. Por eso, de forma urgente hemos elaborado este manifiesto en el que se os informa de la situación y se os invita a suscribirlo en concepto de asociación/colectivo social. Os quedaríamos muy agradecidos si le pudierais dar la máxima difusión. La urgencia es máxima, pues el próximo lunes entregaremos el manifiesto con las firmas que hasta entonces hayamos recogido.
Si deseáis adheriros podéis mandad un correo a manteros@inmigrapenal.com indicando el nombre del colectivo y los datos de quien realiza la adhesión.
Muchísimas gracias por vuestra ayuda.
Las asociaciones y colectivos del tejido social abajo firmantes queremos poner de manifiesto a la opinión pública:
I.- Hace unos meses constatábamos con perplejidad que más de medio millar de personas han sido encarceladas en el Estado por la mera circunstancia de exhibir y vender CD pirata. Detectamos entonces penas sorprendentes de prisión de hasta dos años y más: había “manteros” que veían prolongada su permanencia en prisión por no poder hacer frente a las magras responsabilidades civiles a las que se les condenaba y a las multas que se les imponían.
II.- De la mano de artistas, profesionales del Derecho, movimientos sociales y de los propios afectados iniciamos una Campaña con el objeto de eliminar del Código Penal la prisión para un tipo de comportamiento concreto movido por la necesidad de supervivencia que tiene mejor acomodo en el derecho administrativo sancionador. No se trata de legalizar el top-manta sino de perseguirlo por otros medios que no sean el encarcelamiento.
III.- Al mismo tiempo que apoyábamos indultos para las personas presas por esta causa y abonábamos multas y responsabilidades civiles para lograr la pronta excarcelación de los que peor lo pasaban, conectamos con los diferentes grupos parlamentarios y les hicimos partícipes de nuestro intento de proponer la modificación del Código Penal que avalamos con dictámenes jurídicos que fueron respaldados por numerosos profesores universitarios, juristas y ciudadanos en general.
IV.- El top manta no es la infracción que más gravemente perjudica al derecho de propiedad intelectual de los artistas; las mayores agresiones vienen de otros campos. Por otro lado, el propio legislador reconoce en el Preámbulo de la Ley que la reforma del año 2003 supuso una quiebra de la proporcionalidad respecto a la venta a pequeña escala y que los autores son personas en situación de necesidad y de pobreza, que sólo aspiran a alcanzar mínimos ingresos de subsistencia; se trata de personas que tienen prohibido legalmente ganarse la vida con un contrato legal que tratan de sobrevivir con los escasos ingresos de una actividad, ilegal, sí, pero de escaso daño social.
V.- Reconocemos que la mayoría de los grupos parlamentarios del Congreso han escuchado nuestras razones y que, aunque el texto aprobado por el Congreso no garantiza que por conductas tan nimias como la del “mantero” se meta en prisión a un ciudadano, dicha redacción supone una mejora respecto a la situación actual. Sin embargo, existe el peligro cierto de que estos avances se pierdan en el Senado. A consecuencia de la presión de las Sociedades Gestoras de los Derechos de Autor, Convergencia i Unio y el Grupo Parlamentario Popular han introducido una enmienda en el Senado de características represivas que supondría un gran retroceso. Se argumenta que tratar como falta los supuestos más nimios (cuando el beneficio no excede de 400 euros) constituye “un absoluto desarme procesal y policial”. Esta afirmación, inspirada sin duda por los intereses de las empresas de gestión de derechos de autor y de la propiedad industrial, además de mostrar una cruel insensibilidad acerca de la situación de extremada precariedad de las personas que practican el top-manta, es rotundamente falsa. En efecto, en la redacción emanada del Congreso sigue existiendo protección penal plena para la propiedad intelectual e industrial; la consideración de falta de algunos supuestos (por debajo de 400 euros) no constituye un desarme penal ni procesal, ni mucho menos policial, pues hay todo un Libro del Código Penal dedicado a las faltas que está siendo aplicado. Incluso en el supuesto que seguimos defendiendo, de que no se considerasen ilícito penal los supuestos con beneficio por debajo de los 400 euros, la diligencia persecutoria policial se seguiría desplegando en el ámbito administrativo sancionador, como podemos comprobar los ciudadanos en otros ámbitos (por ejemplo, las infracciones a las normas de circulación). Por eso, nos parece un despropósito derrochar recursos del sistema penal y policial en perseguir estas conductas para sobreproteger intereses de poderosos grupos de presión.
VI.- Por consiguiente, urgimos a los Sres. y Sras. Senadores/as para que no se dejen presionar por los intereses de empresas de gestión que perfectamente pueden hacer valer sus derechos de un modo más justo, proporcionado y, desde luego, generando menos sufrimiento estéril, asumiendo la reforma aprobada por el Congreso de los Diputados o, mejor aún, aprobando la efectiva desincriminación de las conductas más irrelevantes pues su despenalización no significa su legalización, ni que dichas conductas se vayan a incrementar, pues el simple comiso de sus pobres mercancías supone una gravísima consecuencia para estas personas, además de la posibilidad de ser detenido y expulsado por carecer de residencia legal. No es tanto lo que les pedimos: el Derecho penal de un Estado social no debería utilizarse para criminalizar la pobreza de una forma tan injusta como evidente.

Cuesta no pensar que la cantidad de filtraciones e información alrededor de la próxima película de Star Wars no le esté viniendo bien a Disney tras la controvertida compra de los estudios LucasArts por parte de este gigante y el anuncio a los pocos días de que se ponía en marcha el proyecto para tener más Star Wars de la mano de Disney.
Queda todavía más de un año para que llegue, pero la expectación es máxima alrededor de todo lo que tiene que ver con Star Wars Episodio 7. Aquí te dejamos con lo principal que se conoce hasta ahora para que vayas abriendo boca.
La historia
Lógicamente, la historia es el secreto mejor guardado de la nueva entrega de Star Wars. Lo único que se conoce con certeza es el momento temporal en que transcurrirá la película: 30 años después de los acontecimientos del episodio anterior, “El Retorno del Jedi”.
Ya entrando en el terreno de los rumores y especulaciones, el inicio de la película estaría protagonizado por una mano, concretamente la de Luke Skywalker, flotando por el espacio sujetando su sable láser.
Al encontrarla en un desierto, los protagonistas de la nueva entrega (se habla de un trío que incluye a un adolescente o niño), ayudados por Han Solo y Chewbacca, iniciarían la búsqueda de Luke, del que nadie sabe nada desde hace 30 años. ¿Adivináis donde estaba? Justo, cautivo por los nuevos malos de la película.
De los pocos detalles con interés que ha dejado caer Abrams sobre el Episodio VI está el uso de menos efectos especiales generados por ordenador, no al menos al nivel de los primeros tres episodios (tras la trilogía original).
Lo único seguro sobre la historia de Star Wars Episodio VII es que transcurrirá 30 años después de “El Retorno del Jedi”
Episodio VII, que no tiene todavía título oficial definitivo, empezó a rodarse en mayo de este año en los estudios Pinewood de Londres. Del éxito de esta primera parte de la siguiente trilogía (cada película irá separada de la otra con un spin off de los principales protagonistas) dependerá la acogida de las siguientes, aunque solo con el nombre y la legión de fans y seguidores, el ruido está garantizado.
El director y equipo técnico
Tener entre las manos las nuevas entregas de Star Wars no es tarea sencilla. La especulación con los posibles directores de los tres siguientes episodios de la saga galáctica se cortó con el anuncio de que J.J. Abrams (responsable de Star Trek o Misión Imposible II y muy prolífico en televisión) sería el director de la orquesta de responsables que Disney iba a poner delante de este esperado retorno de la famosa saga galáctica.
El propio Adams junto con Lawrence Kasdan (responsable El Retorno del Jedi y El Imperio Contraataca) será el guionista (tras un paso en falso con Michael Arndt) de esta producción que cuenta con otros importantes nombres detrás de los apartados de producción, como Tommy Harper, Jack Ryan o Jason McGatlin, todos ellos con mucha experiencia en grandes superproducciones.
Star Wars Episodio VII se rodará en 35 mm, una decisión de su director de fotografía, Dan Mindel. El diseñador de vestuario será otro conocido: Michael Kaplan.
De la música, parte para mi fundamental e histórica de los primeros episodios, se ha conseguido que se encargue el maestro jedi con batura que es John Williams.
El reparto
Tras decidir el director y parte del equipo técnico, el reparto generó bastantes especulaciones hasta que se produjo el anuncio oficial. Con Han Solo apareciendo en el desarrollo del argumento de la nueva entrega, era lógico que por allí apareciera Harrison Ford.
Que el grueso del reparto original vaya a tener presencia en el Episodio VII es un claro guiño a los seguidores y una atracción más para acudir a ver la película
El Han Solo de más de 70 años estará acompañado por los otros dos actores principales de las películas originales: Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) y Carrie Fisher (Princesa Leia). Y no faltarán Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) o los entrañables actores Anthony Daniels y Kenny Baker en sus papeles de C-3PO y RD-D2 respectivamente. Esta vuelta al pasado es sin duda un seguro que Disney ata para tener el apoyo, el menos moral, de parte de los fans de la saga original.
Entre las nuevas caras, hay tanto veteranos como rostros conocidos del cine y la televisión de los últimos años. Como protagonistas principales tendremos a los actores John Boyega y Daisy Ridley, que compartirán aventuras con, entre otros, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyongo, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow y Andy Serkis.
La “famosa” foto con la que se anunció el reparto principal de Star Wars Episodio VII
La anécdota relacionada con el reparto e inicio de la grabación tiene a Ford como protagonista. Un mes después de iniciarse el rodaje en mayo de este año, Harrison Ford se rompió un tobillo, cosas del destino, con una puerta de su Halcón Milenario. La grabación tuvo de detenerse y esta misma semana se ha reanudado el trabajo el ritmo habitual, que tendrá lugar en localizaciones de Islandia y Emiratos Árabes además del Reino Unido.
Fecha del estreno
Llevamos ya un largo periplo alrededor de Star Wars Episodio 7, pero todavía nos queda un buen trecho por recorrer.
La fecha de estreno anunciada, el 18 de diciembre de 2015, se va a mantener pese a que estuvo en teoría en peligro por el accidente de un Ford que parece mayor para luchar en esta guerra.

History and origin
The Spanish Terrapin was first described by Schweigger in 1812, the scientific name of this species is Mauremys leprosa. Mauremys from Greek meaning "Mauritanian" and "Terrapin". Leprosa comes from Greek and means "leprosy" Schweigger first examined old specimens which had infected structures on the scales making him think that the animals were infected with leprosy.
Characteristics
They are one of the larger Mauremys species.
Description
=Size=
Their eggs are about 35 mm by 21 mm in size. The young hatch out measuring around 32 mm long. They will grow up to 250 mm long in their 20 year life.
=Morphology=
Their shell is quite flat, and oval. The edges of the shell are smooth and have no spikes or teeth.
=Patterns & colours=
Their colours range from orange-brown to olive, the young also have small orange or yellow markings on every scale. Their plastron is yellow with a dark patch sometimes with a light line running down the middle. Their head resembles American terrapins with a light pattern running from the neck to the tympan. The young have a bluish back colour on their skin.
Geographical range
In France they are only fond in the southernmost department called the Pyrénées Orientales, and within that range they can only be the Albères region.
Subspecies
In Europe this species has no sub-species. Their sub-species are all found in Morocco, and they are distinguished only by very small morphological variations. These sub-species are: M. l. atlantica, M. l. erhardi, M. l. saharica, M. l. marokkensis, M. l. vanmeerhaeghei, M. l. wernerkaestlei and M. l. zizi.
Sexual differences
None.
Seasonal variations
None.
Diet
They feed on small fish, amphibians, tadpoles and insects. They sometimes feed on reeds and other plants.
Defensive habits
They will dive into the water and hide in the vegetation or in the mud.
Reproduction
Breeding occurs in March or April, this happens under the water. The mating is fast and they do a simple ritual, the male moves around the females head while he also stretches his legs. The females can lay up to 3 clutches a year, the eggs are laid only a few meters away form the water in a dry place. The eggs hatch after approximately 60 days.
Sexual maturity, life span
The average life span for Mauremys leprosa is about 20 years, the males reach their sexual maturity in their seventh year whereas the females are mature in around their tenth year.
Habits
They are very secretive, they enjoy sunbathing on the banks but are always on guard and dive when alerted.
Habitat
They enjoy water holes with a clay floor, usually with a lot vegetation debris. Their habitat is usually stagnant water. They are very tolerant to pollution and may withstand very polluted water.
Predators
Their only threat is loss of habitat.
You know I had made my mind up to shoot Swallowtails the other day..I never saw any lol I did find this beautiful Red Admiral on my walk tho..The light was bright and I enjoyed watching it for quite some time........I enjoyed this one nectaring upside down..........
"The Red Admiral has a two inch (45-50mm) wing span."
"This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings The caterpillar feeds on nettles, and the adult drinks from flowering plants like the Buddleia and overripe fruit."
Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian flickr friends!! I will be catching up later on with everyone..My hometown of Port Credit, Ontario is also celebrating it's 175th Birthday today with a "Paint The Town Red" celebration!! :)

"The house looked as though it would be more fun to sketch than to live in, which isn't surprising, as it was built by an artist who had married one of his models". Junichiro Tanizaki, A fool's love (trans. by Anthony H. Chambers)
谷崎潤一郎の家の蝉の声.
Monse at the entrance of the rented house in Kobe's Higashi Nada ward where Tanizaki Jun'ichirô lived for two years beginning in 1924. It was the first day that year (2005) we heard the cicadas, but only there in Tanizaki's house: they went out to the rest of Japan many days after. The house served as model for the one described in Chijin no ai (A Fool's Love) and is often referred to as "Naomi's House". We visited it less than a year before its destruction this April. Now it will be relocated, most likely in the same park in Higashi Nada where Tanizaki's famous self-designed house (destroyed in the 1995 Kobe Earthquake) is currently being reconstructed.

BTW, I color correct some of my images on a calibrated monitor. If the orange looks red or the green looks teal, then fix your screen. I view my images on mulitple monitors and they all look the same. Even on the cheap monitor at work. Just wanted to let you all know.
I can't believe I just became someone who uses a selfie stick. (Stephanie's friend Mayte had one.)
#TransPrideSeattle
...
Tess, Gabriel's transgender daughter, is the biggest reason we were all there on Friday evening, and somehow we all managed to squish her almost out of sight in this picture! The girl on the left is one of her best friends, and I don't remember her name. That's Uber-Go-Team-Dad Gabriel in the background; his current wife Kornelija on the right and his ex-wife Stephanie to my right. To Stephanie's right is her friend Mayte, who whipped the selfie stick out of her purse when I said I wanted to get a shot of us all. She offered to take the photo but knowing she was part of the group I told her I wanted her in it. (Turns out Tess's friend's parents were also there so I guess there was a bigger group than I thought, and maybe that means I excluded some people here?) P.S. Mayte was also the name of the woman Prince was married to between 1996 and 2000. She was a belly dancer. I'm pretty sure this Mayte was none of those things.
Young girls in Al-Arroub refugee camp (north Hebron) August 2010.
The camp has 2 entrees each one controled by a 15 meters high concrete mirador (or military tower); one is closed to any vehicule and the other subject to be blocked any time. Heavily armed Israeli soldiers enter the camp night and day to patrol, scare the children, shooting sound, gas or shooting dum-dum at what they call was a danger (last June they blew up a 15 year old teenager, one week after this pic they scared to death a 7 year old boy in night, last year they blew up a 2 years old baby...)
Le camp est entoure de 2 miradors haut d'une quinzaine de metres en béton, de checkpoints (de gros blocs de pierre bloquant tout véhicule a 4 roues). Les lycéen-e-s allant a l'ecole dans le bourg voisin sont regulirement interdits de passer. Les habitants sont soumis à des tirs de gaz ou de balles (y-compris "dum-dum": explosives). Adolescents et pères sont arrêtés et mis en détention ADMINISTRATIVE (càd sans aucune charge contre eux) pendant N mois, ou N années laissant leurs familles dans le désespoir. Ca dure depuis 1967. 43 ans que nous laissons des salopards en uniforme humilier, blesser et tuer ces réfugiés :-(
Pourtant, les enfants et les jeunes ici sont merveilleux de politesse, de sourires, d'accueil et de vie quand les soldats regagnent leurs tours...

Brittany is a hair stylist at Genesis Salon in Suwanee, GA, a good buddy of mine and the first person to have cut my hair in over a year and a half (just doing it myself until recently). This was shot in her salon of employ in a series I'm doing on people in they're workplace environment.
She is a phenomenal hairstylist with the example of expertise spreading throughout our certain crowd of friends, as well as an aspiring videographer interning with the company "Point. Click. Shoot."
