Due to the critics and recomendations I decided to edit and upload it again. This is the 2.0 version of Seagulls' Sunset
I hope you like it.
This photo was taken following the explanations given by an English photography magazine and a fellow member of my camera club. A sheet of grease paper was stick against a window, then the tulip was inserted through a tiny hole at the bottom (visible on this shot). Then the tulip was over-exposed by 1 or 2 EV to ged rid-of the paper.

Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as Sri Darbar Sahib or Golden Temple, (on account of its scenic beauty and golden coating for English speaking world), is named after Hari(God) the temple of God. The Sikhs all over the world, daily wish to pay visit to Sri Amritsar and to pay obeisance at Sri Harmandir Sahib in their Ardas.
Guru Arjan Sahib, the Fifth Nanak, conceived the idea of creating a central place of worship for the Sikhs and he himself designed the architecture of Sri Harmandir Sahib. Earlier the planning to excavate the holy tank (Amritsar or Amrit Sarovar ) was chalked out by Guru Amardas Sahib, the Third Nanak, but it was executed by Guru Ramdas Sahib under the supervision of Baba Budha ji. The land for the site was acquired by the earlier Guru Sahibs on payment or free of cost from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages. The plan to establish a town settlement was also made. Therefore, the construction work on the Sarovar(the tank) and the town started simultaneously in 1570. The work on both projects completed in 1577 A.D.
Guru Arjan Sahib got its foundation laid by a muslim saint Hazrat Mian Mir ji of Lahore on 1st of Magh, 1645 Bikrmi Samvat(December,1588). The construction work was directly supervised by Guru Arjan Sahib himself and he was assisted by the prominent Sikh personalities like Baba Budha ji, Bhai Gurdas ji, Bhai Sahlo ji and many other devoted Sikhs.
Unlike erecting the structure on the higher level(a tradition in Hindu Temple architecture), Guru Arjan Sahib got it built on the lower level and unlike Hindu Temples having only one gate for the entrance and exit, Guru Sahib got it open from four sides. Thus he created a symbol of new faith, Sikhism. Guru Sahib made it accessible to every person without any distinction of Caste, creed, sex and religion.
The building work completed in 1601 A.D. on Bhadoon Sudi 1st, 1661 Bikrmi Samvat (August/September,1604). Guru Arjan Sahib installed newly created Guru Granth Sahib, in Sri Harmandir Sahib and appointed Baba Budha ji as its first Granthi i.e. the reader of Guru Granth Sahib. After this event it attained the status of ‘Ath Sath Tirath’. Now the Sikh Nation had their own Tirath, a pilgrimage center
Sri Harmandir Sahib, is built on a 67ft. square platform in the centre of the Sarovar(tank). The temple itself is 40.5ft. square. It has a door each on the East, West, North and South. The Darshani Deori (an arch) stands at the shore end of the causeway. The door frame of the arch is about 10ft in height and 8ft 6inches in breath. The door panes are decorated with artistic style. It opens on to the causeway or bridge that leads to the main building of Sri Harmandir Sahib. It is 202 feet in length and 21 feet in width.
The bridge is connected with the 13 feet wide ‘Pardakshna’ (circumambulatory path). It runs round the main shrine and it leads to the ‘Har ki Paure’ (steps of God). On the first floor of ‘Har ki Paure’, there is continuous reading of Guru Granth Sahib.
The main structure of Sri Harmandir Sahib, functionally as well as technically is a three-storied one. The front, which faces the bridge, is decorated with repeated cusped arches and the roof of the first floor is at the height of the 26 feet and 9 inches.
At the top of the first floor 4 feet high parapet rises on all the sides which has also four ‘Mamtees’ on the four corners and exactly on the top of the central hall of the main sanctuary rises the third story. It is a small square room and have three gates. A regular recitation of Guru Granth Sahib is also held there.
On the top of this room stands the low fluted ‘Gumbaz’(dome) having lotus petal motif in relief at the base inverted lotus at the top which supports the ‘Kalash’ having a beautiful ‘Chhatri’ at the end.
Its architecture represents a unique harmony between the Muslims and the Hindus way of construction work and this is considered the best architectural specimens of the world. It is often quoted that this architecture has created an independent Sikh school of architecture in the history of art in India.

Almudévar, Huesca (Spain).
Monegros is an Aragonese region that is characterized by its semi-arid climate, and its almost chronic drought. Its ecosystem is own of Eastern steppes.
Los Monegros es una comarca aragonesa que se caracteriza por su clima semiárido, y su sequía casi crónica. Su ecosistema es más propio de estepas orientales.
ENGLISH
Almudévar is located at 18 km. of Huesca, in the zone named La Violada. The first settlements of this zone occurred already in Prehistory, have been rest of neolithic constructions in two projections of the land located to the right margin of the beginning of the precipice of Villanueva (to the north of the term) and also rest between this precipice and the gully that goes to Somport. The constructions located more to the south are of rectangular plant, whereas those of the North projection they are of circular plant.
The present urban nucleus is the heir of the Roman mansion of Bortina, located in the Via Lata that united Zaragoza with Lérida, passing through Huesca. According to Pedro Carrillo Bortina one was in mile CCCXII of the mentioned one via and to XXXIIII miles of Zaragoza, that is, the exact place of Almudévar.
The name of Bortina, Burtinae or Bostina is of Iberian or Basque origin. Bost in Basque means “five”, bustin “clay”, bort “port” and Buru “top”. It is very possible that the existing town in the place of the present Almudévar had belonged to the Basques who still at time of Augusto extended their territory until Segia (Ejea de los Caballeros).

As of October, 2011, we have received the U.S. Navy's final approval to move IOWA to the Port of Los Angeles. The 2 BEST sources for updates are: www.pacificbattleship.com/blog/ - www.facebook.com/pacificbattleship
UPDATE Oct. 27, 2010: The NEWS IS GOOD! The IOWA has gained incredible support, and the LA Harbor Commission meeting Nov. 4, 2010 will hopefully announce that a berthing location has been approved for the San Pedro area of LA Harbor! IMPORTANT LINKS, TO CHECK OFTEN... www.pacificbattleship.com/ AND www.pacificbattleship.com/blog/presentations/
UPDATE Feb. 28, 2010: The Port of Los Angeles has rejected a 16-page proposal by the Pacific Battleship Group to move IOWA to San Pedro, CA. The nearby city of Vallejo, CA has been seeking donations to move her to Mare Island for years.
It is a very dark time for this proud warrior, which represents so much of this country's history.
Battleship IOWA (BB-61) ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Iowa_(BB-61) In the National Defense Service Fleet (aka the Mothball Fleet) at Suisun Bay, near Benicia, CA. Her forward 16-inch (rifles) guns are visible in this view. Mount Diablo's foothills rise in the background. From land, one of the closest viewing spots is from Industrial Way in Benicia. This photo was taken at the extreme range of my 40x telephoto. There is also the Levee Trail off Bayshore (it begins beneath the most easterly span of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge (there is free parking - look for the public access sign at the entrance of the giant 'new cars' import storage yard). About a 20 minute walk to the trail's end: Don't try walking in the marsh... it's very wet and muddy.
In Loving Memory of Ryan "Loke" Bell
My old friend/ex boyfriend that I first met when I was in 6th grade, Ryan, has a birthday today. . . Ryan killed himself 2 years ago. He was an outgoing, fun, party guy. Most of his pictures he has headphone and a beer in his hand. He had a tattoo or 2 of a clover. He was always making jokes and the life of the party. I had a huge crush on him for YEARS until he finally asked me out. He was about 4 years older then me. All his friends and family are going to his grave today to celebrate. I can't make it all the way to Provo, UT. But I'm there in spirit. I miss and love you Ryan! Happy Birthday, RIP
PS- The title is the quote from his tombstone. And this is a facebook page for him. Go check it out if you want. :D www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=109616519069658&ref=ts
HDR from 6 exposures. MUST View Large On Black
If you have 2 minutes spare , do have a look at some other Night Shots that I made
It was a gut feeling to use an additional 6th shot. Actually when I started, I took 17 shots. Cars and buses kept annoying me (yes I was on road with tripod) and having got home I realized that only 7 frames matched. I used 6 of them. Another annoying thing is that car that came right in the middle of my shoot.
Curves and enhancements in Photoshop CS2. Color correction and Cooling Filter (the lamps here dominate yellow shades and destroy the the color profile of pics). Would like to dedicate to Vikrant Gupta (yet to start an account) as he really waited for me to complete the shot. When at ease, do take out some time to take a Slide Tour of HDRs that I made.

By December 1863, much of Louisiana was occupied by the Union army. Ninety-five schools serving over 9,500 students--including almost half of the black children in Louisiana--were running under its auspices. But keeping these schools up and running would require ongoing financial support.
Toward this end, the National Freedman's Association, in collaboration with the American Missionary Association and interested officers of the Union Army, launched a new propaganda campaign.
Five children and three adults, all former slaves from New Orleans, were sent to the North on a publicity tour. A drawing of them was printed in the 30 January 1864 issue of the popular Harper's Weekly, bearing the intriguing caption: "EMANCIPATED SLAVES, WHITE AND COLORED." The authors of this campaign were pursuing a surprising, and quite effective, strategy for arousing sympathy for blacks--they portrayed them as white.
Of the eight slaves sent north from New Orleans, four children--Charley, Augusta, Rebecca, and Rosina (Rosa)--looked white. As the article accompanying the group portrait in Harper's Weekly affirmed, they were "perfectly white;" "very fair;" "of unmixed white race". Their light complexions contrasted sharply with those of the three adults, Wilson, Mary, and Robert; and that of the fifth child, Isaac--"a black boy of eight years; but none the less intelligent than his whiter companions".
Accompanied on their tour by Col. George Hanks of the Corps d'Afrique (the 18th Infantry, a corps of colored soldiers), the group posed for photographs in New York and Philadelphia.
The portraits were produced in the format of cartes de visite (CDVs), albumen prints the size of a calling card, and sold for 25 cents each. The proceeds of the sale were directed to Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks in Louisiana, where the money would be "devoted to the education of colored people," as the verso of each photograph explains.
Of the "Emancipated Slaves from New Orleans" series, at least 22 different prints remain in existence today. The bulk were produced by New York photographers Charles Paxson, and Myron H. Kimball, who took the initial group portrait later reproduced as a woodcut in Harper's Weekly.
In "Visualizing the Color Line," Carol Goodman notes that much of the power of the photographs stemmed from allusions to physical abuse. When paired with a related article in the same issue of Harper's Weekly, the allusions in the portrait of white slaves to the white masters' sexual exploitation of their female slaves is clear. The most grievous sin of slavery, the editor of Harper's Weekly contends, is that it permits slaveholding "'gentlemen' [to] seduce the most friendless and defenseless of women". Moreover, two of the four black slaves included in the publicity tour bear the marks of abuse on their skin--Wilson has a brand upon his forehead; Mary, as she is described in Harper's Weekly, has more than 50 rawhide-scars on her arm and back.

ENGLISH
Père David's Deer (Elaphurus davidianus) Milu in Chinese (麋鹿), is a species of deer known only in captivity. It prefers marshland, and is believed to be native to the subtropics. It grazes on a mixture of grass and water plants.
This species of deer was first made known to Western science in the 19th century, by Father Armand David, a French missionary working in China. At the time, the only surviving herd was in a preserve belonging to the Chinese emperor. The last herd of Père David's Deer that remained in China were eaten by Western and Japanese troops that were present at the time of the Boxer Rebellion[citation needed].
After Father David publicized their existence, a few animals were illegally transported to European countries for exhibitional purpose, and bred there. After the remaining population in China was extirpated, the remaining deer in Europe were gathered to England and bred for the preservation of the species. The current population stems from this herd. These deer are now found in zoos around the world. Two herds of Père David's Deer were reintroduced to Nan Haizi Milu Park, Beijing, and Dafeng Reserve, Jiangsu Province, China in the late 1980s. In spite of the small population size, the animals do not appear to suffer genetic problems from a genetic bottleneck, suggesting that a previous bottleneck had already removed harmful recessive alleles.

CASTELLANO
El ciervo del padre David (Elaphurus davidianus) es una especie de ciervo sumamente rara nativa de China, que corre un grave peligro de extinción y sólo existe en cautividad. También es la única de su género.
Como sus largas patas y anchas pezuñas indican, esta especie está adaptada a la vida en hábitats húmedos y pantanosos, sumergiéndose con frecuencia en el agua. Su dieta se compone de una mezcla de hierba y plantas acuáticas. No obstante, se ignora cuál era su distribución original en estado salvaje, pues cuando fue estudiado por primera vez en Occidente hacía años que se había extinguido en libertad (aunque algún reporte aislado habla de un ejemplar muerto en 1939 cerca del Mar Amarillo) y sólo quedaba una manada presente en los territorios de caza del emperador, cerca de Pekín. Es posible que su antigua distribución fuese pequeña, a lo largo de las desaparecidas zonas pantanosas del noroeste de China que fueron desecadas muy pronto para destinarlas al cultivo de arroz.
El ciervo del padre David es conocido en chino como sì bù xiàng (四不象), "Ninguno de los Cuatro". En la antigua China, este animal era tenido casi por un animal mítico compuesto por las partes fusionadas de otros cuatro: cuernos de ciervo, cuello de camello (cabeza de caballo según otras versiones), patas de vaca y cola de asno. Así es como fue descrito al misionero y naturalista francés Armand David durante su estancia en Pekín el 17 de mayo de 1865. Éste, interesado por el posible descubrimiento de una nueva especie ignorada por la ciencia, rogó a las autoridades chinas que le dejasen estudiarlo en los terrenos del emperador, pero éstas sólo le autorizaron a verlo una vez por encima de los muros externos. Posteriormente consiguió del emperador dos pieles con las que regresó a Europa, las cuales fueron estudiadas por Alphonse Milne-Edwards, director del Museo de Historia Natural de París que realizó una primera descripción de la especie. Tras largas discusiones diplomáticas, el emperador chino donó algunos ejemplares al embajador francés, mientras que la misma petición fue denegada a los representantes de Gran Bretaña y Alemania. Los ciervos conducidos a Francia se reprodujeron con facilidad en los parques zoológicos y pronto alcanzaron la cifra de 24 individuos.
En cuanto a la manada china, ésta quedó casi destruida durante las inundaciones de 1895, que destruyeron uno de los muros de la reserva imperial. Varios ejemplares murieron ahogados y otros más fueron cazados cuando escaparon a las zonas de los alrededores, hasta quedar menos de 30 individuos. Finalmente, durante la Rebelión de los Boxers, tropas europeas ocuparon los jardines de caza imperiales y acabaron con la manada con el fin de alimentar a los soldados.
Cuando este hecho fue conocido en Europa, se destinaron 18 ejemplares al parque privado de Woburn Abbey, propiedad del Duque de Bedford, donde fueron sometidos a un programa de reproducción intensivo y en las décadas sucesivas llegaron a los 90 individuos, aunque más de la mitad murieron durante la I Guerra Mundial. Por suerte, siguieron multiplicándose hasta llegar a los 300 individuos en 1946, a pesar de los bombardeos de la II Guerra Mundial. En 1956, 4 individuos fueron devueltos a China e internados en el zoo de Pekín. Cuarenta años después, otros 22 ejemplares fueron cedidos al gobierno chino y conducidos a la Reserva Dafeng, sita en los antiguos jardines imperiales, donde se ha formado una nueva manada. A pesar de que los 2000 ejemplares actuales en todo el mundo descienden de unas pocas cabezas de finales del siglo XIX, la especie parece llevar mejor los efectos de su baja diversidad genética que otras especies amenazadas.

Well it's been forever since my last post. I haven't traveled anywhere new for landscapes and haven't felt very inspired for much else. Kids and school seem to make life feel very chaotic during the spring and I tend to retreat to my garden. Digging, weeding, watering, and watching the dirt for new life to sprout where I planted it seems to put things back in order.
Now that most of the hard work of the season is finished, my neglected camera called me to document a few of the fruits of my labor.
Over the past few weeks I have planted:
Veggies/Melons:
Amaranth (Similar to spinach)
Zucchini (Gold Rush and Black Beauty)
Yellow Squash (Straight and Crook necks)

Snap Beans (green and yellow mix)
Lemon Cucumber
Bell Peppers (red and yellow)
Habanero Peppers
Serrano Peppers
Hungarian Yellow Wax Peppers
Moon and Stars Watermelon
Crimson Red Watermelon
Sugar Baby Watermelon
Crenshaw Melon
Canary Melon
Pumpkin (Sugar Pie)
Pumpkin (Big Max)
Eggplant (Japanese)
Eggplant (Striped Calliope)
Tomatillo
Supersweet 100 Tomato
Herbs:
Sage
Sweet Basil
Lavender
Mint
Flowers:
Allium (Nodding Onion)
Sunflowers (Mammoth and Evening Red)
Cosmos
Gaillardia (Goblin)
Strawflowers
Four O'Clocks
Phew. That was a lot. Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to staring at the dirt and waiting for little sprouts to pop out of the ground...
Today I finished the first phase of the PHP code I have been writing for the past week or so, to integrate with MS SQL on our server at work. It integrates with a well known rental management software package which we'll be using at Chequer Mead as an inventory manager. The script I've written allows us to add items and record PAT tests much quicker and will little fuss, compared to the integrated software technique. Let's hope there aren’t too many bugs! :-/
A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. ~Ansel Adams
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. ~Henri Cartier Bresson
I hope you enjoy my attempt at capturing the essence of our passion, somewhat personified. I appreciate the irony in my attempt, yet I understand the duplicity of practising my passion whilst paying homage.
What is photography? I would appreciate your views in the comments I hope will follow.
To me it is exactly this - the enjoyment felt capturing something beautiful.
Photography is beautiful.

Et bien... il a plu.
Il a même plu énormément...
Des pluies diluviennes, qui nous ont quand même valu quelques frayeurs, entre autres, celle de passer en voiture sur des routes transformées en véritables lacs, avec de l'eau jusqu'aux rétros, celle de rester embourbés, ensablés, et que sais-je encore, celle de rester coincés dans entre 2 oueds déchainés, et ne plus pouvoir ni avancer ni reculer, celle de se réfugier en plein nuit dans un abri de fortune, abandonnant sa voiture aux flots (j'exagère à peine, lol) , celle de rater son vol retour parce que bien sûr, personne ne pouvait plus circuler..... mais quel bonheur, finalement, de rencontrer des gens formidables dans des situations telles que celles ci, qui t'aident sans te connaître et sans rien demander en échange... de vraies rencontres, un vrai bonheur ...
But it rained...
It rained a lot... Diluvian scary rains..
Roads transformed into real lakes, with some water up to rearview mirrors in the car, water, water, everywhere, falling for almost 48 hours, non stop... and us, stucked at night in the car, with no possibility to move on nor to move back, then to put ourselves in a shelter for the night leaving the car to mother Nature, lol... and me, missing my flight back to Paris because no one could drive away from the city we were in... But, what a huge pleasure, to meet nice and adorable people, who helped us, showed us somewhere we could sleep to be safe, shared their food with us, without knowing us at all,... People in Marocco are so kind...

La figura verde de Closterium siempre marca su sonrisa en el agua, sonrisa flotante y abierta la de este grupo de algas de simetría perfecta que son los désmidos y que arropa tanto el brillo de la luna como los colores de las estrellas.
Hay casi tantas especies de Closterium -casi doscientas- como clases de sonrisa y todas ellas con infinitos matices, sonrisas nerviosas, sonrisas amplias, sonrisas rebosantes de franqueza, sonrisas de amor, sonrisas contagiosas, sonrisas de ternura…todo sonrisas.
La sonrisa de Closterium intermedium es una sonrisa equilibrada, ni apagada ni excesiva, se insinúa en un arco suave que remata en dos hoyuelos y está pintada del frescor verde de la vida.
Closterium striolatum es una especie de mediano tamaño, de curvatura suave, con pared celular marcadamente estriada y bordes truncados de manera abrupta. En cada una de las dos mitades y a ambos lados del núcleo se disponen los cloroplastos formados por cerca de una docena de laminillas repartidas radialmente a partir del eje longitudinal. De extremo a extremo unos oscuros lunares de pirenoides -sustancias de reserva- salpican su interior.
Los hoyuelos pálidos de los extremos de Closterium guardan dentro, como en muchos otros désmidos, minúsculos cristales de sulfato cálcico o de bario que brillan agitados en un baile sin fin ¿harán cosquillas a Closterium para que se curve en una sonrisa?
Closterium striolatum es uno de los désmidos más frecuentes en las aguas ácidas, con facilidad puede ser confundido con Closterium inetermedium no tan curvado ni hinchado en la porción central y de dorso algo cóncavo. El de hoy procede de también de un arroyo de aguas limpias y frescas situado en las inmediaciones de Mahíde en las estribaciones de la zamorana Sierra de la Culebra y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Photoblog: 23 May 2008
This evening. I'm afraid you'll just have to imagine the sounds of the bell ringing practice.
On the topic of St Margaret's, Wikipedia has this to say:
The Anglican church of St. Margaret, Westminster is situated in the grounds of Westminster Abbey on Parliament Square, and is the parish church of the British Houses of Parliament in London. It is dedicated to Margaret of Antioch.
Originally founded in the 12th century by Benedictine monks, so that local people who lived in the area around the Abbey could worship separately at their own simpler parish church, and historically part of the hundred of Ossulstone in the county of Middlesex, St. Margaret's was rebuilt from 1486 to 1523. It became the parish of the Palace of Westminster in 1614, when the Puritans of the 17th century, unhappy with the highly liturgical Abbey, chose to hold Parliamentary services in the more "suitable" St. Margaret's, a practice that has since continued.
The North-West tower was rebuilt by John James from 1734 to 1738; at the same time, the whole structure was encased in Portland stone. Both the eastern and the western porch were added later by J. L. Pearson. The church's interior was greatly restored and altered to its current appearance by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1877, although many of the Tudor features have remained.
Notable features include the Eastern window of 1509 of Flemish stained glass, created to remember the betrothal of Catherine of Aragon to Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII. Other windows commemorate William Caxton, Britain's first printer, who was buried at the church in 1491, Sir Walter Raleigh, executed in Old Palace Yard and then also buried in the church in 1618, and the poet John Milton, a parishioner of the church. The collector Henry Constantine Jennings is also buried there.
The church has been a common venue for "society" weddings, including those of Samuel Pepys and Sir Winston Churchill. The ensemble of St. Margaret's, the Palace of Westminster, and Westminster Abbey is a World Heritage Site.St. Margaret's has a lengthy musical tradition; Edward Purcell, son of Henry Purcell, was organist from 1726 to 1740.
I've been tagged by Daifuku Sensei so apparently I must tell you 16 random facts about myself.
1. Help! by The Beatles was No.1 on the day I was born.
2. On 7th February I will have been married for 16 years. That seems so much longer written down than actually living it.
3. I can wiggle my ears.
4. My favourite accident involved me riding a friends Harley Davidson motorbike through a hedge and over a hidden 15 foot drop. I wasn't wearing a helmet but managed to walk away with just a few cuts and bruises. The bike wasn't so lucky.
5. I was 8 years old before I slept in a house for the first time.
6. I stopped smoking a year ago yesterday. I am not a smoking fascist like many ex-smokers. I still think it looks cool and sexy.
7. I play the guitar, very badly.
8. I love chocolate biscuits.
9. My 2nd favourite accident involved me wrecking my brand new car, with less than 100 miles on the clock. This marvellous feat made a appearance in all the national newspapers.
10. Apart from a short spell working in the family business after leaving school, I've been self employed all my working life. The idea of having a boss sends a shiver down my spine.
11. I got myself and my, then new, wife arrested at a football match. I had unknowingly bought stolen tickets from a tout and we were escorted to the police cells inside the stadium. After going through the formalities I managed to persuade the policeman to let us watch the rest of the match from the standing area.
12. On the football theme, I once gave a lift in my car to Sir Bobby Charlton and his wife, Norma. He maybe one of the greatest footballers to play for Manchester United and England and a hero to millions of supporters but he is a bit of a dull conversationalist. Norma is nice though.
13. My Uncle John fought in WW2 and was among the liberators of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. When he told me of the horrors he witnessed he made me promise that I would pass on his story to future generations. I have and will contiue to do so. His main conclusion wasn't that evil men do wicked things, we all know that, but how ordinary, civilized people can allow evil acts to happen in their midst by not caring enough about the lives and fate of their fellow human beings.
14. I played cricket for many years until a rib injury forced me to stop.
15. I once fought with 4 men in a drunken street brawl in Denbigh, North Wales. The lesson I learned was that Denbigh in the 1980's wasn't quite ready for a man wearing make up in public. I think it was my smudged lipstick that really annoyed them.
16. I love skiing. My first skiing holiday was 6 years ago. I had 2 lessons on a plastic ski slope at home, went to the top of a mountain in Switzerland and fell all the way to the bottom. At the end of the week I was bruised and battered but could ski reasonably well. My advice if you want to learn to ski is to have 3 lessons.

Se asoman a su balcón desde su funda transparente que es una vaina que además de dar protección al cuerpo de estos ciliados también les da el nombre. Se trata de Vaginicola, ciliado alargado en forma de trompeta , que en su cabeza se abre en corona como una flor.
Los cilios de Vaginicola ruedan en la corona fabricando pequeños remolinos en los que quedan atrapadas pequeñas partículas y algunos organismos diminutos que después este ciliado selecciona para él o para devolverles la libertad en el agua.
A Vaginicola parece que no le gusta vivir solo, por eso, casi siempre se asoma a su balcón en compañía, quizá estos compañeros hablen del tiempo, de la vida, o de los lunares que adornan su interior. Estos pequeños lunares son también amigos y hacen con Vaginicola una simbiosis ejemplar y que con frecuencia se da también con otros protozoos, son así, cientos más dos.
Vaginicola cuida con mimo su colección de lunares verdes que son algas del género Chlorella y estas pequeñas algas verdes en muestra de agradecimiento, corresponden con Vaginicola regalándole las golosinas de los azúcares y proteínas que ellas fabrican, pero estas golosinas no son un capricho, se han vuelto ya imprescindibles y sellan esta relación de amistad.
Vaginicola recuerda mucho a Cothurnia y a Thuricola por su apariencia, pero Vaginicola vive dentro de una funda que se muestra como un vaso, abierto y sin protección, mientras que sus otros compañeros, más precavidos o más frioleros, cierran la entrada de la vaina que los protege con una puerta que se siempre hacia afuera, de este modo ellos pueden salir, pero nadie puede entrar.
Dos amigos, probablemente hermanos, se asoman al balcón y muestran alegres su cuerpo de lunares verdes. No son dos amigos en realidad, son cientos más dos en un incondicional vínculo de amistad y proceden de la balsa de Ajamil en La Rioja de donde procede la muestra que ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.
The name 'Clingendael' means 'valley in the dunes'. The original part of the Clingendael building was built between 1643 and 1660 for Philip Doublet, whose family had moved to The Hague from the south of the Netherlands. Several of the Doublets held the office of Treasurer General in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces.
Philip's wife was the sister of the celebrated poet and statesman, Constantijn Huygens, and Philip’s son married one of Huygens’ daughters, Suzanna. The architecture of the original part of Clingendael shares some of the features of the Huygens’s country house in Voorburg, Hofwijck.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Clingendael belonged to the Van Brienens, a prominent family of merchants and bankers. During the period of French rule in the Netherlands, Willem Joseph van Brienen was appointed Mayor of Amsterdam and elevated by Napoleon to 'Baron de l’Empire'.
The last of the Van Brienens in the male line, Arnout, built a racecourse for his guests at Clingendael; it has since been moved to nearby Duindigt. Arnout’s unmarried daughter Marguérite, known as Lady Daisy, laid out Clingendael’s fine Japanese garden.
During the Second World War, the house was occupied by the Nazi Reich’s Commissioner for the Occupied Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and his family.
In 1954, Clingendael became the property of the municipality of The Hague, which it remains today. Since 1983, the Clingendael Institute (the Netherlands Institute of International Relations) has been located in Huys Clingendael.

According to Wikipedia, the Polar Bear is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear. A boar (adult male) weighs from 770 to 1,540 pounds (350-700kg), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time at sea. Their scientific name means "maritime bear", and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)
During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.
SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.
For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.
SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.
The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.
ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.
ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.
The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.
ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.
ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.
* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.
為什麼她的舉手投足總是透露著優雅？
為什麼她的淑女韻味令我移不開目光？
因為她是名門淑女.
在一個轉彎處,我注意到她了.那優雅的氣質,讓我的目光始終無法移開.雖然有許多的男士正在跟她交談,我也耐心的等待.相較於其他大家閏秀,她的身軀雖然嬌小,但一舉手,一投足.那股氣勢,那優雅的氣質.讓我不能用一般世俗的眼光;用一般人旁敲側擊的方式來回應她.我決定走上前去,用最正式的方式來介紹我自己.儘其所能的描繪她的 Level of Detail.才不會辜負她那優雅的氣質.
我採用縮小光圈至F11,來強調細節.但景深這時卻因光圈的縮小而使她身旁的閒雜人等一一現形..所以我把小黑五推至最短對焦距離,焦長推進至200mm.來縮小景深,讓她不受世俗的紛紛擾擾.一陣流言蜚語也無損她名門淑女的風範.等流言蜚語過去,我知道最佳時刻已到來,透過指尖記錄下她最美的一刻.
我用下列的比喻來記錄現場的狀況.
"有許多的男士正在跟她交談"
這朵花在田埂旁,很亮麗.讓人很難不注意她,如同名門淑女般.
現場很多人在拍她,所以我在旁等了一段時間.
"讓我不能用一般世俗的眼光;用一般人旁敲側擊的方式來回應她.我決定走上前去,用最正式的方式來介紹我自己"
因為在現場大部分的人都是側拍的方式.但我直覺告訴我,不能浪費了這朵花.所以我採用正上方的拍攝方式,儘可能的去描繪她的細節.
"因光圈的縮小而使她身旁的閒雜人等一一現形">
因為旁邊有很多的枝葉,過於雜亂.我直覺告訴自己,要取得純淨的背景才能突顯她的氣質.
"一陣流言蜚語也無損她名門淑女的風範">
在拍攝這朵名門淑女時,現場有風在吹動.
我等到風停,她回到我要的角度,才按下快門拍下她優美的身影.

First day back at school, I didnt have a class till 2, so I decided to take pictures with my friend Jesse. We Went inside this what appears to be small church from the outside, but is actually really big on the inside. It was really nice inside, took this quickly and then left cause they were getting ready to lock the doors. I shall return!
"...on the floor of his room."
Besides attending a class today and writing reports, I spent the afternoon at a friend's house. We talked a lot and she put on some Eddie Izzard. It was fun. :)
I've been tagged. By Trixiepix. And just when I thought I'd wrap up the day and lay my thoughts to sleep... :)
Here we go:
#01 I (used to) change interests on a daily basis, so keeping up with 365 is sometimes a real pain the butt, but I'm determined to stick to, to prove myself I can go through with something - not just drop the idea before I've REALLY given it a go.
#02 I'm a pervert, I'm a poet, I'm a romantic soul.
I really like weird (and I do mean weird, Necrophilia variations is right up my alley) books and movies and music.
#03 When going out for a drink, I usually drink coffee, or during the winter, black tea, vanilla flavoured.
#04 I adore chocolate. The kind with 50 or more percent of cocoa. The bitterness tastes so sweet to me. :) Also, I like chocolate with chili peppers.
#05 Like Trixiepics, I get a kick out of organizing things. On my computer. Into folders and zip files and partitions and so on and so forth...
#06 I like to look at people. Not in a voyeur kind of way, I just like to look at people when I walk past them, to see their faces, to see what they're wearing, how fast they are walking. It interests me. :)
#07 I (used to) usually give up, if the results were not perfect the first time. I had to learn to deal with mistakes.
#08 REMOVED
#09 The first time I did a snow angel was a couple of days ago.
#10 I adore the feeling of fresh, clean hands. I just love it. It feels wonderful. :)
#11 My memory is like swiss cheese, but without the cheese. This is one of the reasons I began 365. To have something to remember ALL of the days by.
#12 I'd like to improve my photos, but lately I don't take enough time to produce results I'd be really proud of. Shame on me.
#13 Lately most of what I wear is black. Last year I was sort of getting into really coloured stuff, but this year I mostly go for black. (Except this one outfit I wear at home - yellow sweatshirt and red pants.)
#14 I thought for sure I wouldn't get tagged. :)
#15 I really like the 80's Yugoslavian punk/new wave scene. There's something about that era that I find so alluring I can't even say. The music, the rebel attitude. (Those days, there actually was something to rebel about. Nowadays, you can do almost whatever you like, so being a rebel these days is pretty much pointless.)
#16 I don't like sports. I don't like to do them. I don't like to watch. I was always absolutely horrible at team sports. The only exception is running. I like that, because sometimes that's when I'm most alone and have all my thoughts to myself.
Done! Woo-hoo! :)
That was a lot of text. Probably the longest description I'll ever write. :)
This was day fifty-seven.

www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 --- Turkey, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour ---- www.vianobilis.com/amarok-adventure-world-7e5 ---- Amarok Adventure World ---- Selge (griechisch Σέλγη) war eine antike Stadt in der kleinasiatischen Landschaft Pisidien beim heutigen Altınkayaköy (früher Zerk) (Türkei). Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.
The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.
At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]
The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.
Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley
