The post-processing of this photo has been enough elaborated. From a single shot I do a HDR with Lock06 tone mapping to smooth shades and emphasize the texture of the stone. Then I have turned it to B&W with green filter. Next I have trimmed the sky of the original and I have stuck it in the B&W. I have intensified blue touching the curves, and I have turned the sky to B&W with red filter… and this is what it has left.

The gothic parochial cathedral of Santa Maria has the structure and dimensions of a cathedral, a status which it did not achieve despite various attempts made by the earls of Empuries to have it named as such.
It is one of the most interesting examples of Catalan religious gothic architecture.
The construction, which began in the thirteenth century and continued throughout the entire fourteenth century, was completed at the beginning of the fifteenth century when the façade, with its beautiful marble entrance, was finished. The interior, representative of the Mediterranean gothic style, contains: unique roman baptism fonts, an exceptional 15th century alabaster altar piece, two sarcophagus belonging to earls, and a gothic stained glass window, the alter piece “dels Dolors” from the 18th century, an organ from the 19th century and many other items of interest.
The bell tower, with gothic decorations, follows the architectural design of the 13 century roman Lombard influence.

El post-proceso de esta foto ha sido bastante elaborado. A partir de una sola toma he hecho un HDR con mapeo de tonos Lock06 para suavizar sombras y resaltar la textura de la piedra. Luego lo he convertido a B/N con filtro verde. Seguidamente he recortado el cielo de la original y lo he pegado en la B/N. He intensificado el azul tocando curvas, y he convertido el cielo a B/N con filtro rojo... y esto es lo que ha salido.

La iglesia parroquial gótica de Santa María tiene una estructura y unas dimensiones propias de una catedral, una dignidad que no consiguió a pesar de los varios intentos realizados por los condes de Empúries.
Es uno de los ejemplos más interesantes de la arquitectura religiosa gótica de Cataluña.
La obra, empezada en el siglo XIII, prosiguió durante todo el siglo XIV i finalizó a principios del XV, cuando se construyó la fachada con el bello portal de mármol. El espacio interior, paradigma del gótico mediterráneo, contiene las singulares fuentes bautismales románicas, el muy notable retablo mayor de alabastro del siglo XV, dos sarcófagos condales y un vitral góticos, el retablo de los Dolores del siglo XVIII, el órgano del siglo XIX y muchos otros elementos de interés.
El campanario, con decoración gótica, sigue todavía la composición arquitectónica de los campanarios románicos de influencia lombarda. Pertenece seguramente al siglo XIII.

Remember my previous picture of the little ECC88 Valve?
Well here's the wee beastie that it belongs to and she's a beauty :-)
This is a 1969/1970 Telequipment S51 Oscilloscope proudly bearing a small metal plate simply stating, "Made In England". Most of the components in there bear similar motifs as well as 'Made in Great Britain' and fair old chokes me up that we used to build such marvels. Not anymore....
This example I bought as a non-worker and after some scrounging about, (without paying through the nose!), I obtained some replacement valves for her and spent some time tidying up historic fiddles, (others previous attempts at repair!)
After a bit of a clean up and final checks I hooked her up to the mains and she finally sprung to life. I stood there with the biggest grin on my face ever :-)
Total cost of purchase and replacment parts - a massive £12:50, very nice.
(Considering there's 5 Mullard valves and a couple of Brimars I did rather well as most 'audiophiles' pay more than that for a single valve!!! Doesn't bear thinking about?!)
Will she languish on a shelf as a 'collectable'? Of course not, she's a good old workhorse and I'll soon be cracking that whip. An addition of a component tester I've already started to build, (makes my DIY electronics from scrap parts much simpler - the amount of times I've scrounged a part from a broken piece of equipment to find the scrounged component was one of the faulty ones!!), and plans for a curve tracer she'll be pressed into hard service. Of course an infra red interface will come in damn handy for checking and adjusting the shutter speeds on my old cameras too.
Much like those valves I get a warm fuzzy feeling that she's working. Unfortunately I'm as old as this piece of equipment and probably smell just as musty, (Ha, ha!)
At 8 PM Monday, December 3, 1837 William Lyon Mackenzie set out by horse down Yonge Street to scout the route for his attack on Toronto. At the top of Gallows Hill (below St Clair) he met Tory alderman John Powell, himself on patrol from the city. Mackenzie and his men took Powell prisoner. "Do you have a gun?" Mackenzie asked Powell. "No", Powell replied. Mackenzie took his word as a gentleman and sent him back towards the rebel headquarters at Montgomery's Tavern.
Powell lied about having a gun. He drew out two pistols and shot one of his guards in the back of the neck, killing him. Mackenzie heard the shot, headed back, saw Powell, fired a shot at him but missed. Powell closed range and fired at Mackenzie point blank but his gun flashed in the pan. Powell rode on to warn Toronto that the rebels were coming.
Trouble had been brewing in Upper Canada for some time and always at its centre was the fiery Scot William Lyon Mackenzie. Always a critic and self-proclaimed voice of the people, Mackenzie got elected to the Upper Canada Assembly and raised such hell that he was expelled three times, each time to be re-elected by his constituents. His primary targets in his newspaper articles and his diatribes were the lieutenant-governor and the colonial elite, dubbed the "Family Compact."
While moderate reformers such as Robert Baldwin tried to find a middle ground, things were made worse with the arrival of a new governor, Sir Francis Bond Head, an adventurer with no political experience. The governor got the reform Assembly dissolved and led a campaign based on fear and "loyalty." Mackenzie responded by issuing a Toronto Declaration, closely modeled on the American Declaration of Independence.
Historians have made note of the extenuating circumstances in the colony that made fertile ground for Mackenzie's agitation. There was an economic squeeze, crops were bad and the banks were foreclosing on farms. But in the final analysis the uprising in Toronto was uniquely the creation of Mackenzie's outrage. His ability to win over intelligent and cautious men was one of his strengths. But organization was one of his weaknesses. After haranguing some crowds in scattered meetings, he rode off to Toronto secure in the belief that thousands would rise to his cause.
The failure of the revolt was not necessarily a foregone conclusion. Confusion reigned in Toronto. The garrison was off quelling the insurrection in Lower Canada. The militia were a laughable lot, armed with some guns along with whips, hoes, canes and umbrellas.
Nevertheless, once surprise was lost, so was the enterprise. Mackenzie took the unfortunate decision of leading the rebels himself. He marched them off on Tuesday morning, December 4, riding at their head and wearing several overcoats to protect against bullets. Though the route seemed clear, the erratic Mackenzie seemed more interested in diversions. By the time the battle occurred, near College Street, a small picket under Sheriff William Jarvis had been organized.
The picket opened fire and being but 20 men, turned and ran. The front rank of rebels fired back and, as they were trained to do, dropped to the ground so that the next rank could fire over them. The back ranks thought the front rank had all been mowed down, panicked and ran away.
Now the initiative was with the loyalist forces, who got reinforcements from Hamilton, Niagara and as far away as Peel County. Militia chief James FitzGibbon organized three impressive columns, totaling 1500 men and on Wednesday marched up Yonge Street. The skirmish was an anticlimax. Only about 200 rebels stood their ground near Gallows Hill and they were quickly routed.
Many of the rebels fled or went into hiding or, like Mackenzie, bolted to the United States. Several prisoners were charged with treason. Twelve stood trial in Toronto. Six were convicted and Peter Matthews and Samuel Lount were hanged.
Historians have had a field day debating the consequences of the Rebellion of 1837. Obviously, as a revolution it was an abject failure. There was a time when Mackenzie's supporters, notably his grandson William Lyon Mackenzie King, argued that the Rebellion hastened the advent of responsible government, but few accept that idea today.
As for Mackenzie, he continued to agitate from a base on Navy Island. He started a newspaper in New York. But he was indicted under the "neutrality laws" and spent a year in prison. The more he saw of his beloved American-style democracy, the less he liked it and the more he repented his attempt at revolution. He returned to Toronto in 1850 after a general amnesty, re-entered politics, got elected and continued his campaign against hypocrisy and corruption. However much historians may denigrate his contribution, there are still many who see him as a unique voice of the people.

Bluesbandit1750 said that it is a Cooper's Hawk and I have another confirmation.
Coopers Hawk from Wikipedia...
"Cooper's Hawk was first described by French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1828. It is a member of the goshawk genus Accipiter. This bird was named after the naturalist William Cooper, one of the founders of the New York Lyceum of Natural History (later the New York Academy of Sciences) in New York. Other common names; Big Blue Darter, Chicken Hawk, Hen Hawk, Mexican Hawk, Quail Hawk, Striker and Swift Hawk[2]
The average size of an adult male, at 312 g (.69 lb), 39.37 cm (15.5 in) long and has a wingspan of 71.12 cm (29 in). The adult male is significantly smaller than the average female, at 500 g (1.1 lb), 45 cm (17.7 in) long and has a wingspan of 83 cm (32.67 in). All have short rounded wings and a very long tail with dark bands, round-ended at the tip. Adults have red eyes and have a black cap, with blue-gray upper parts and white underparts with fine, thin, reddish bars. Their tail is blue gray on top and pale underneath, barred with black bands. Immatures have yellow eyes and have a brown cap, with brown upper parts and pale underparts with thin black streaks mostly ending at the belly. Their tail is brown on top and pale underneath, barred with dark bands. "
La Mussara, Tarragona (Spain).
Oddly in La Mussara Isidre Pàmies i Borràs died in 1873, carlist colonel considered guerrilla by his methods. It was born 30 years before in l'Aleixar, a locality close to La Mussara.
Curiosamente en La Mussara murió Isidre Pàmies i Borràs en 1873, coronel carlista considerado guerrillero por sus métodos. Nació 30 años antes en l'Aleixar, una localidad próxima a La Mussara.
ENGLISH
Airsoft is a modern combat sport or recreational hobby in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical non-metallic pellets launched from a compressed-air gun (or airsoft gun) powered by gas, manual spring-load, or an electrically powered gearbox.
Airsoft participants organize meetings, either indoors or outdoors, at dedicated airsoft battlefields to play a variety of games ranging from short-term skirmishes, organized scenarios, military simulations, or historical reenactments.
Combat situations on the battlefield often involve the use of common military tactics to achieve the objectives set in each game. Participants typically use varying types of weaponry designed as replicas of real firearms, tactical gear, and accessories used by modern military and police organizations.

CASTELLANO
El airsoft es un hobby-deporte basado en simulación militar. Se trata de un juego de guerra, similar al paintball. Surgido en Japón en los años ochenta, pronto se extendió a Estados Unidos. Actualmente florece en numerosos países del mundo.
El término airsoft proviene del inglés; se traduciría como "aire suave". Esto hace referencia a la forma en la que la munición es disparada.
Esta actividad lúdico-deportiva se basa en la simulación de combates usando réplicas de armas reales (las cuales disparan pequeñas bolas de plástico de 6 u 8 mm) en escenarios de juego similares a los de una guerra real, con equipamiento de radiocomunicación, visores nocturnos, linternas adaptadas, punteros láser, bolas trazadoras e indumentaria militar. Aunque no existe una indumentaria concreta, cada equipo prefiere equiparse uniformemente para mayor realismo.
Las bolas empleadas tienen una velocidad de salida aproximada de 90 m/s (en una replica genérica sin modificar). El poco peso de las mismas (entre 0,2 y 0,8 g) hace que su alcance efectivo no vaya más allá de los 20-80 m. Existe una modalidad de jugador, el sniper o francotirador, al que se le permite más potencia y alcance (90 metros o más en algunos casos), dado el rol que asume.

On black, if you dare...
I realized I hadn't done anything cool with photoshop in a while, so I figured what better time to get my 'shop on than with the release of Left 4 Dead 2!
Out of all the photoshop projects I've done lately, I think this one was the most fun. It looks like I actually put some effort into it and is probably the coolest looking one so far. I decided on an original color scheme of purplish-blueish, rather than the official green/yellow. Except for the ripped thumb part (taken straight from the actual box art ._. ) everything is my own work. (But even that took a while to make it look right.)
The alternate (a.k.a. The one that's blatant advertising for the game) is in the comments. I was thinking about uploading it instead of the one here, but I had to go with the simplicity of this one. (Not the mention the word "dEAD" looks kinda funky)
P.S. I find it funny that I spent my night working on a Left 4 Dead pic, rather than actually playing it. Hmmmm... Well, that's what tonight is for. :D
I found this Rolls Royce Phantom, in the pouring rain in the city of Arnhem, at a few meters of my house. It stood gracefully together with a Aston Martin DB9, Audi S8, Audi Q7 V12 TDI, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, BMW M5 and a Porsche Panamera Turbo.
I was in a hurry to get to a store before closing time and it kept raining but still I managed to get some shots of all the cars there. I liked this shot for the contrast and DoF and I think the B-W conversion really ads to the texture of the raindrops on this amazing vehicle.
For more shots of these cars, take a look at my stream at Autogespot.com.
The Uffington White Horse is a highly stylised prehistoric hill figure, 374 feet (110 m) long, and dates back some 3,000 years, to the Bronze Age.
Uffington Castle is all that remains of an early Iron Age (with underlying Bronze Age) hill fort in Oxfordshire, England. It covers about 32,000 square metres and is surrounded by two earth banks separated by a ditch with an entrance in the eastern end.
Dragon Hill is a natural chalk hill with an artificial flat-top which clings the legend that it was on its summit that Saint George slew the dragon. A bare patch of chalk upon which no grass will grow is purported to be where the dragon's blood spilled. It has been suggested as some sort of Iron Age ritual site associated with the nearby hill-figure.
The Ridgeway is an ancient trackway described as Britain's oldest road. At 85 miles (137 km), the route follows the chalk hills between Overton Hill, near Avebury, and Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire and represents part of a route in use since Neolithic times.
The Manger steep is a steep sided dry valley. Ripples in the eastern valley side are known as the Giants Stairs and are a reminder of how the valley was created by scouring melt-water during the retreat of the last Ice Age. A terrace along the lower edge of the western slopes is thought to be the remains of medieval farming practice.
DENVER CITY AND COUNTY BUILDING, DENVER
The construction of a new government center for the combined City and County of Denver was initiated by Mayor Benjamin F. Stapleton in 1924, although including it in the Denver Civic Center was first proposed as early as 1906.
This American Renaissance Styled building was completed in 1932. Balancing the State Capitol across an expanse of lawns, it fulfilled the ideals of the City Beautiful Movement proponents who had worked on the Civic Center plans for more than two decades.
The new City Hall replaced two buildings. One was the 1883 City Hall at Speer Boulevard and Larimer Street, a four-story stone structure. The jail was in the basement, and prisoners were in danger of drowning when nearby Cherry Creek flooded. The new City and County Building also replaced the old Arapahoe County Building at Sixteenth Street and Court Place, later the site of Zeckendorf Plaza.
The new City Hall was designed by the Allied Architects Association of Denver, organized by the Colorado Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Its mission was to aid Mayor Stapleton in designing the new civic structure. The site selected was bounded by West Colfax Avenue, West Fourteenth Street, Bannock, and Cherokee, as suggested in the 1917 Civic Center plan.
Ground was broken in March 1929, and the cornerstone laid February 1931. Voters approved a $2.5 million bond issue in 1931, the same year that they voted Stapleton out of office. His successor, George D. Begole, reluctantly continued the project, working with the Allied Architects under the leadership of Denver architect Robert K. Fuller. Supervising architect from 1929 to 1931 was Roland L. Linder. The building was dedicated by Mayor Begole on August 1, 1932.
The four-story building is shaped in a semi-circle, opening east toward Civic Center Park and the State Capitol. At its center is a circular bell tower and a tall Roman temple style portico with Corinthian columns.
The east facade is embellished with engaged Ionic columns. The building was faced with gray granite. The project employed 250 stone carvers, who also detailed the marbles of the interior. Six hundred rail cars brought stone from Georgia and parts of Colorado. Among the building's 200 rooms are City Council Chambers, the Mayor's Office, and spaces once occupied by the Denver Art Museum.
The building has been decked out in colored lights every Christmas since its doors opened. A $10 million refurbishment during 1991 and 1992 restored the grand lobby, Allen True's mural "The Miners' Court" and Gladys Caldwell Fisher's life-sized bas-relief "Orpheus and the Animals."

Rupit, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Rupit and Pruit (in Catalan Rupit i Pruit) are a municipality of the region of Osona located to the northeast of the region and the east of the Sierra de Cabrera. It is integrated by two urban nuclei: Rupit and Pruit, that they were independent until year 1980. It is the last town of the province of Barcelona in the highway that unites the municipalities of Vic, capital of the region of Osona and Olot, capital of the region of the Garrotxa (Girona).
The origin of the town we found in the castle that was constructed around year 1000, replacing the one of Fàbregues, where they went constructing houses around.
In 14th century the population underwent a reduction but it recovered, arriving in 17th and 18th centuries at the maximum splendor that has never had the town. The church was possibly built between 13th and 14th centuries, and it was dedicated to San Miguel Arcángel.
Pruit already names in year 955, when it belonged to viscounts of Osona. Always there is been united to the castle and jurisdiction of Rupit.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?

I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Processed as HDR from single RAW to 3 exposures (-2/0/+2), orton effect and vignette, then desaturated.
This photo means a lot to me.
It was taken 21th of September 2008 in Trollhättan, Sweden, in the surrounding woods of NÄL (a large hospital).
From left to right, the picture holds one of my brothers, my mother, her man and our dog.
The reason I hold this photo dear is because this is the day the struggle began, both for my mom and for our family and friends. The doctors found a tumor in my mothers stomach. A week later she was diagnosed with cancer.
*** UPDATED ***
My mother has undergone a large surgical operation. She is recovering fine right now, but she still awaits chemotherapy and radation-therapy.
*** UPDATED **
Complications. She had another surgery. Trying to fight an infection at the same time.
*** UPDATE February 2009 ***
Progress! She has woken up from 7 weeks of coma. Has been in recovery after that for a couple of weeks and had her first day of permission from the hospital! Hope!
*** UPDATE March 2009***
She's home! A nurse visits her 2 times per day, but she's managing just fine. I couldn't have wished for anything better!

Even with really expired Fuji 400 asa colour print film, converted to b&w in iPhoto, and a bog basic Tesco low-res supermarket scan, the old un-coated 1938 Leitz Summar & Rohypnol still manages to deliver something special I think.
It's not a "sharp" lens by any means but it's the highlights - they always seem to look different to those produced by modern lenses, or even those from a later Summitar or Summicron.
They have that unique and characteristic "glow" it appears to me.
And the Rohypnol "date rape" drug I've administered to Brian in generous quantity doesn't just keep the sitter quiet, but it helps them to forget (if they need any help) what you've just charged them for the portrait.
These old Summars may not be to everyone's taste, but I do love the old lump for natural light portrait work.
This shot of my good neighbour Brian is definitely best viewed on black.

Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: 11801236
The S boasted modifications typical of a higher-performance Porsche: these included a re-profiled cam, larger valves, better porting, loftier compression (9.8:1 vs. 9.0) and larger jets for the Weber carburettors (which were otherwise much like those given to the base 911 from early '66).
The result was 30 more horsepower, totalling 180 horsepower, furthermore the torque improved fractionally to 127 pound-feet, peaking fully at 1,000 rpm higher.
Unlike other models, the S lacked a choke, but pumping the accelerator was usually enough for starting. On the other hand, merely blipping the throttle on the freer-breathing S would send the tacho needle zinging to its 7,300 rpm redline. Porsche thus wisely fitted an ignition cut-out that interrupted spark to the plugs when it neared maximum revs, thus protecting the valve-train from overly enthusiastic drivers.
Naturally, the S also received chassis upgrades to match its extra power. These included a rear anti-roll bar (augmenting the one in front), Koni shocks, ventilated instead of solid-rotor disc brakes all-round and, soon to be a 911 hallmark, pretty five-spoke Fuchs alloy wheels that cut five pounds from the unsprung weight at each hub.
S gear ratios were evenly spaced except for the five-speed transmission's overdrive top, which was purposely very “high”. It gave 100 mph at 4,200 rpm, hardly a strain for the free-revving flat-six. Pulling a max rpm in the lower gears allowed the model to net 0-60 in eight seconds or less, running a standing quarter-mile of under 16 seconds at 90-plus mph.
Built in 1968 this fine example is finished in white with a contrasting black interior, and we're informed that it is in excellent condition throughout having undergone a full restoration. The interior is described as being “flawless”, boasting a period Grundig radio.
The car resided in Italy for many years and is now presented with a UK MoT certificate which is valid until July 2015, and is accompanied with European title documents. A fine example of a highly desirable motor car, and with values ever increasing, now is the time to buy one of Zuffenhausen's finest.

Originally posted here on May 17, 2006:
Yesterday afternoon when I was leaving work, I witnessed some kids harassing a homeless man standing on the corner asking for money. The parents were nearby, talking to the concierge of the hotel next to my building. I stopped and watched for a few seconds, and then quietly told the kids to leave the man alone. They turned towards me and began saying, "He's a crack addict, he's a loser, he lives on the sidewalk" and numerous other taunts.
The parents finally walked over to see what was going on, and asked me why I was talking to their children.
"Your children are harassing this man," I told them.
"That man is begging in the street to buy booze and drugs," they told me. "You're no better than him if you try to take up for him."
The whole scene angered and saddened me.
"First of all, why are you wasting time arguing with me instead of focusing on what was happening? Your children were harassing a man in the street who had done nothing to them. I witnessed the whole thing."
"Why don't you just move along, bitch, and not tell me how to raise my children? And why don't you just let all these losers move in with you if you love them so much?"
I just shook my head and walked away, feeling myself starting to cry. As recently as Monday night, I listened while Maya Angelou spoke of how proud she was of the residents of Houston for opening their doors and hearts to so many Katrina victims. Yesterday, I witnessed the opposite: total lack of compassion for a fellow human being.
What kind of example are we setting for our children when we teach them intolerance?

Worms, anyone? I've got plenty to go 'round.
So much for a break from silly self portraits, haha. From my last 52 week entry:
I figure I could use a break from the more fun and silly self's for this 52 week'r.
Growing up I used to love those gummy candies that are available at Walgreens and other corner convenience stores. My favorites were the gummy candies that were lathered and coated in sugar. More particularly the peach rings, and the sugar battered creepy crawlies.
It's been a while since I've indulged in the gummy goodness. Until today at least. I went to Safeway and swooped up a bag of non-sugar coated worms. They were great tasting ... at first. on nom nom nom
While taking this series of self portraits I repeatedly found myself chewing and eating the gummy worms. I downed so many that they tasted absolutely horrendous by the time I got the shot I wanted.
For the record, that is indeed a real jumbo sized creepy crawly slimey squirming live wriggling pulsing night crawling earthworm in my left hand!
Who said worms aren't cute? Earthworms are cool. And tapeworms are cute.
In any case, with Happy Hallow right around the corner -stay safe, and have fun out there everyone!

An old man sells posters of Benazir Bhutto in the street, in Rawalpindi. Taken after the elections, this is not part of the PPP campaign: there's really a genuine fascination for her amongst the people, especially in the Sindh, her native province. Her tragic death turned her into a martyr, a symbol and an icon, obliterating the facts (2 mandates tainted by corruption charges, few reforms, and little changes on the women condition). Even the circumstances of her death are clouded with mystery: was she killed by the explosion (knocking her head against the car rooftop), as the official version of the government pretends (backed by the Scotland Yard investigation) or shot by the gunman (as her family claims) ? Many people believe there's a cover-up and more or less directly blame Musharraf, but the Bhutto family has always refused exhuming the body for an autopsy, which would be the only way to ascertain the cause of her death. Both PPP and PML-N have however agreed that one the first measure of their new government would be to request an investigation by the UN.

Ngong Ping
Lantau Island
Hong-Kong
View from Tian Tan Buddha
Tian Tan Buddha
Tian Tan Buddha (天壇大佛) is an enormous 34 meter statue, one of the five giant Buddha statues in China, situated in Ngong Ping, Lantau Island. The statue comprises of 202 bronze pieces and with a total weight in excess of 250 tonnes it is the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. The construction of the giant statue took nearly ten years to complete and was unveiled in 1993, with an estimated total cost of $68 million.
The Buddha is named after Tian Tan which is the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, but is also known as Po Lin Buddha because it is an integral part of the Po Lin Monastery. The monastery initially known as the Big Hut was founded in 1906 by Zen masters Da Yue, Dun Xiu and Yue Ming of the Jin Shan Monastery of Zhe Jiang Province. It is the major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong and major tourist attraction, especially with the induction of the Buddha statue adjacent to the monastery.
Tian Tan Buddha, positioned on a lotus throne surrounded by eight smaller bronze statues resembling gods, oversees the monastery which is build on a plateau rising 2,330 feet above sea level. Buddha's expression appears majestic and tranquil, symbolising the congruent relationship between people, nature, and religion. Tian Tan Buddha is the only statue of its kind that gazes towards the North; all other Giant Buddha statues gaze towards the South. Due to its immense weight the statue is internally supported by a steel metal framework and the Buddha is positioned on a three-platform altar. The elevated position of the entire platform comprises of 268 steps.
Po Lin Monastery
The Po Lin Monastery is located in Ngong Ping on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. Originally, the Buddhist monastery was built by three monks andwas initially called Da Maopeng. In 1924, however, it was renamedPo Lin Monastery. About 70 years later, the Po Lin Monastery has become one ofthe most renowned and most popular tourist destinations in Hong Kong.
The Monastery consists of the Da Xiong Bao Dian (the Great Hall of Treasure), the Maitreya Hall, the Hall of Ti-tsang Bodhisattva, the Weituo Hall, the Banruo Hall, the Sutra-Collection Hall and other impressive structures. In the Da Xiong Bao Dian, for example, are enshrined three Buddhas - Sakyamuni, Dipamkarara and Maitreya. In the Hall of Ti-tsang Bodhisattva there stands a bronze statue of Ti-tsang Bodhisattva, which weighs approximately 200 kilograms (441 pounds). There is also a 1,000 kilogram bronze bell.

The Collector Earl's Garden (Arundel Castle), Opened by HRH The Prince of Wales on 14th May 2008.
The new formal garden at Arundel has been conceived as a light-hearted tribute to Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel (1585-1646), known as ‘The Collector’. He died in exile in Padua during the English Civil War and though his body was brought back to England and buried in the Fitzalan Chapel at Arundel, the elaborate tomb which he had specified in his will was never erected. This garden, adjoining the church, may now be an appropriate memorial for the future.
More info at: www.arundelcastle.org/_pages/02_gardens.htm
Arundel Castle in Arundel, West Sussex, England is a restored medieval castle. It was founded by Roger de Montgomery on Christmas Day 1067. Roger became the first to hold the earldom of Arundel by the graces of William the Conqueror. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries.
From the 11th century onward, the castle has served as a hereditary stately home and has been in the family of the Duke of Norfolk for over 800 years. It is still the principal seat of the Norfolk family.

In English:
So here is the second installment of my monthly self portrait series. I am a little late in taking the shot and posting it, but that's because I was waiting on my new light stands and shoot-through umbrellas that were shipped to me here in France.
Now, the philosophic part:
During November, the frantic pace of school in France has become even more frantic. Each week I have had a different "contrôle continu" (read: quiz worth a sixth of my grade or thereabouts) in one of my classes. And each week, I have felt more or less like I am improving on each one. However, my scores are still not anywhere near where I would like them to be. The grading system in France is very different than in the United States. Everything that we do is scored out of 20. On my first "contrôle continu" in dynamics, I received a 1 out of 20. Ouch. On my first Stress contrôle I got 6 out of 20. Vibrations was maybe 4 and I just took my second contrôle in dynamics which will probably be around 4 or 5 as well. However, the average passing grade in these classes is MUCH lower. For a class of normal difficulty as low as a 10 or 8 is a passing grade and for very difficult classes like dynamics, a 5 is sometimes a passing grade (based on the curve). My study habits are starting to be refined and I am for the first time in my life going to a weekly tutor, which has helped loads with understanding all the things that go on that the professors assume the French students know, but that us international students don't. I'm still fearful of failing classes, but I feel like I can scrape by this semester and will be a-ok for next semester.
Now the photographical part:
The title of this picture also applies to my photography. Now that I have my light stands, flashes, and umbrellas and the various other pieces, I feel like I can start taking this portrait thing seriously. The above photo has barely been photoshopped, The only thing I did was darken the shadows on the ground and on my face a little bit. There is a flash through an umbrella camera right, and a bare flash behind the rhino, both at half power. Which, of course, brings me to the rhino. This guy is just sitting over by the humanities building on our campus and from time to time people paint him different colors. I don't know why and I don't think it can be explained, except by saying that this is France. Things are different here. The generally odd proportionality in the photo is created, for all you non-photographically technically inclined, by using an ultrawide angle lens. My left hand in this shot is about 2 inches from the lens in this shot, which means that from the cameras perspective, it is a lot larger than the rest of my body. The same thing goes for the head of the rhino. It is a proportionally correct (in terms of the sizes of all the parts) in real life but here the head, and especially the horn look a lot bigger. Pretty cool stuff, eh?
Anywho, there's the update on school and photography, I hope all of you people back home are doing well. Thanks for reading this and keeping tabs on me, as I am not the best at keeping in touch with people.
En français: (et un peu plus court parce que ce n'est pas vraiment obligatoire d'expliquer le system des notes françaises pour les francophones)
C'est le deuxième realisation de mon serie des portraits-autonômes. Elle a été prise un peu en retard parce que j'attendais pour la livraison des Etats-Unis des materiaux comme les pieds lumières, les parapluies photographiques, et des autres choses comme ça.
La partie philosophique;
Pout ce mois-là. le titre de ma photographie est "Saisir la bête et ne pas le lâcher!" En novembre, j'ai commencé d'assez reussir dans mes cours. Chaque semaine, je passait un contrôle continu dans un de mes sujets et chaque semaine je me sens que je me suis amélioré. J'ai pas encore recevoir des vrais bonnes notes, mais je suis assez sûr maintenant que j'ai la capacité de passer mes cours cette semêstre. C'est bizarre pour moi ici avec les notes encore. Aux Etats-Unis, il faut recevoir plus que 70% dans un cours pour le passer (imaginez: plus que 14 et normalement une note moyen est comme 85 vers 100% (17-20)) Alors c'est assez déprimé quand je reçoit un 4 ou 5 ou moins ici en France. Mais ça va, j'ai commencé d'être étudiant français, Je vais le faire.
La partie photographique;
La titre de ma photo signifie aussi le début de mes photographies portraits. J'ai maintenant des flashs, des pieds pour les flashs et les parapluies, alors je peux commencer joeur avec l'éclairage pour bien améliorer mes photos. Cette photo-là a été prise avec flash avec parapluie à la droite du appareil et un flash derrière le rhino, les deux à demi-puissance. La perspective (avec la grosse main et tête du rhino) a été realisé avec un objectif grand-angle. Ma main est seulement quelques centimètres du objectif ici. Et le rhinocéros? Il est juste ici au campus d'INSA. De temps en temps il est repeint. Je ne comprends pas, mais c'est cool.
Merci pour le lire! C'est ma vie en France pour le mois de novembre. A plus!

An odd sign we saw in some Tube station. I have absolutely no idea what it actually refers to, but considering that I am a PHP developer by trade, this was quite funny to me.
This image with almond blossom is dedicated to my love on Valentine's day.

Quizás no es la mejor foto.. pero me encanta como le "cae" la luz, creo que lo mejor de estos carnavales fue el equipo de iluminación y sonido, me saco el sombrero con ellos

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

View On Black and LARGE--it's pretty impressive
This is Bruno Zacchini's Super Repeating Cannon. It resides in the Museum of the Circus in Sarasota, Florida.
"Flying isn't the hard part; landing in the net is" - Mario Zacchini
John Ringling saw the Zacchinis perform at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, where he signed Hugo and Bruno (brothers) Zacchinni for the 1929 season of Ringling Brothers Circus. Over the years, the Zachinni family has dominated the human cannonball tradition. From the earliest 1900s, the Zachini brothers and their children have amazed thousands with their death-defying performance.
In 1946-47, the first Super-repeating cannon was designed and built by Bruno Zacchini with the assistance of his brother, Teobaldo in Sarasota. They used a GMC truck as the base. Bruno's daughter, Silvana, at the age of 16, became the first woman to be shot from this cannon. Later she was joined by her aunt, Simone Loyal, as a double human cannon ball act. Hugo was the last of the family members to take flight on August 29, 1991. The Zacchini's also suffered several serious accidents, including one, where two of them collided in mid air having been simultaneously shot from opposing cannons.
In 1961, this particular cannon would shoot 2 performers nearly 140' through the air in seconds of each other at speeds of 125 mph. The cannon is 37' long including the cab, 8' wide, and 20' high with the barrel raised. It is mounted on a Mack truck.
The operating mechanism has been removed--it remains a closely guarded family secret.
The cannon was made available to the museum through the courtesy of Silvana Zacchini Meluza.
