El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.
Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.
Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.
The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.
Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.
The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.
Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.
"in the flesh" ( part 7 )
year : 2008
placement : left arm / near the elbow
complete time : 4 hours so far,lots more to do
Chronology : 10th session
So continuing my matrix theme, the rabbit and the pills are to the left,
just barely going out onto my bicep,and the cables continue to wrap.
the cord on the far bottom right actually goes just barely onto the actual elbow bone.
its going to be "plugged into" my elbow when its finally finished.
The large "E" is the symbol for the last band i was in, Ermorden.
out of the 4 of us i am the only one with any ink from that band time.
for those who don't know,being in a band of struggling musicians,and
playing shows,writing songs,and trying to record an album is not
easy / always fun work.Dealing with everyones schedules and attitudes is
much like having 3 girlfriends all at once. at least,when it works right it is.
you all hang out,combine your creative ideas and efforts and all feel
the dissapointment when things go sour.
i put 2 years of my life into this band. writing and recording music.
lining up live shows around seattle,and training to do the best
performances we could. the artwork,samples, swag design and
flyers were just one element that i had on my plate. Designing music videos and creating DVDs of our live shows was also mine.
I may play the drums, so its easy to say, "oh .. he just hits things."
i helped write and create all of our songs,not just create the rhythm.
but the truth was i felt like the Dad of the band most of the time.
nobody felt it harder when things fell apart and the band self-destructed.
I haven't been in a band since. i still do music on the side with the
guitarist , but its nowhere near the intensity of being in an active band.
this is my tombstone for that group,i guess you could say.
My fond farewell.

"Traffic on Charoen Mueang road (taken in 1971)"
From: library.cmu.ac.th/ntic/en_picturelanna/detail_picturelann...
"San Pa Khoi area is an area situated opposite to Wat Gate area and with Charoen Mueang road in the middle. Before the arrival of railway to Chiang Mai, this San Pa Khoi area was a small community. The first community to settle here was the Ban-tha-sa-toy community (see detail of Tha-sa-toy community) at the back of the present San Pa Khoi market.
With the arrival of railway to Chiang Mai, a lot of Chinese from Bangkok moved into the area to make a living. This resulted in the area becoming an important business center in the city. Shops lay on both sides of Charoen Mueang road making it the center for sending goods to Bangkok. The agricultural products from the surrounding areas of Chiang Mai were rice, pig, tobacco and sealing wax. The community was also the site for distributing goods from Bangkok to other markets around Chiang Mai and upper Chiang Mai. One native of Chiang Mai mentioned that at that time San Pa Khoi area was filled with warehouses for transporting goods to other areas and it was always busy with buyers and ox carts which could be hired to haul goods. The majority of businesses was owned by Chinese business men, like Mr. Song Sae-ung (Ungkhapairoj). He remembers that he rode the train to buy salt, sugar and shrimp paste from Bangkok to be sold at his shop. Merchants from Lam-yai market and other surrounding markets would come to purchase his goods. Khun Anukornburee (an ancestor of Nimakorn family) started Leochunlee shop by selling bicycles shipped from Bangkok by rail.
The important center of this area was Kad-San Pa Khoi (San Pa Khoi market). There are no documents of when this market was established. However, it was believed that it might have been before 1926 because when King Rama VII visited Chiang Mai, the market already existed. There is evidence showing that there was a joint investment between Pra Pijitosod, Khun Anupolnakorn and Major General Anirutteawa (ML Feun Puengboon). At present, this San Pa Khoi market is a market which is well-known for delicious food, especially Chinese. There are shops on both sides of Charoen Mueang road. The famous Salapao Wikul (Chinese steamed bun) and Charoen Mueang restaurant can also be found here.
The center for Buddhists in this area is San Pa Khoi temple. It is situated at the side of San Pa Khoi market. Originally, its name was Wat Nang Leo and was located on the Ping river bank. But when the temple was flooded, it was moved to the present site. Thus, it was called Wat San Pa Khoi after the name of the area. There is evidence showing that the chedi in this temple was built in the era of Prachao Kawilowrojsuriyawongse and the ceremony for the chedi was in 1868. From the survey of this temple, it was found that the present viharn was completed on 14 March, 1929.
Though this area has a separate Chinese temple for Chinese merchants, it is understood that this temple is also the center for Chinese Buddhists in the area.
The San Pa Khoi area met its decline when the road construction between Bangkok and Chiang Mai was completed. The road transportation replaced the railway because it was faster and because the train ran only two days a week. Furthermore, having cars meant that people could go directly to the production sites without having to go through the middlemen at San Pa Khoi market anymore.

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!

week of confessions ends today!
So... I'm running out of things to confess. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I guess that in itself is a confession... I'm either revealing too much or I don't tell ANYONE (save for a very special few). I think I should go back to being more secretive. I think sometimes that I reveal too much of my true genuine emotions and someday they are going to come back and bite me in the ass. Some such examples of me revealing too much can be seen here, here, and here. (just three examples) I look back at them now and think, "what a melodramatic baby..." but I guess they documented how my day was that day. Man, this 365 project is making me realise a lot about myself. It's getting TOO HEAVY, PEOPLE! :-P
I really can't imagine my life without this project, actually. I don't know what I'll do in January when it's done. Do a second year? Thoughts on that..?
Song of the Day - Handsome Furs - Sing! Captain
"There's a town, just a little town
Raining cloud, a hollow sound
When our lover gather round
And if they're cold
Then they're cold
Feed them wine, feed them chrome
We hate this place here
It's our home, It's our home
And your car-collapsing trees and I
Could turn them back to sound
With the torches in our hands we will reduce it
To the ground"

This is Chris AKA Trick65 ....I met Chris on Saturday at our little mini workshop/meet here at my studio. Chris is a cool cat and hails from the NYC, get him talking quick and he jumps right into that cool NYC accent! Chris is also an AMAZING graphic designer, he showed me some things and is allowing me to pick his brain anytime! He has designed some major campaigns for Disney animated movies such as "Wall-E", "Up", "Flushed Away", etc. He has designed things as well for movies such as "V for Vendetta", "Batman Begins", etc. He is a cool guy and has a love for animals, he has a great personality and I think I captured it very well in this portrait of him.
Enjoy,
Hector

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!)
Inspirada na figura da MEDUSA, que é uma das três Górgonas, divindades da mitologia grega, filhas das divindades marinhas Fórcis e Ceto e irmãs das velhas Gréias. Ao contrário de suas irmãs Górgonas, Esteno e Euríale, Medusa era mortal [1].Medusa era portadora de extrema beleza juntamente com suas duas irmãs. Quando estava sentada num campo cercada de flores de Primavera, o deus do Oceano, Poseídon, une-se a ela que gere dois únicos filhos, mas estes só nascem no momento da morte de Medusa. As vidas das três irmãs, vidas debochadas e dissolutas, aborrecia os demais deuses, principalmente a deusa Afrodite. Para castigá-las, Afrodite as transformou em monstros com serpentes em vez dos seus belos cabelos, presas pontiagudas, mãos de bronze, asas de ouro, e seu olhar petrificava quem olhasse diretamente em seus olhos. Temidas pelos homens e pelos deuses, as três habitavam o extremo Ocidente, junto ao país das Hespérides e vizinhas de Nix (a deusa da Noite). A Morte de Medusa [1]. Perseu foi encarregado pelo rei de Sérifo, Polidete, de decepar e lhe dar de presente a cabeça da Medusa para, em sua vez, Polidectes oferecer como prenda a Énomao, rei de Pisa, com fim de desposar a sua filha Hipodâmia. Para isso, o herói Perseu encontrou-se com umas certas ninfas africanas que gentilmente lhe ofereceram objetos mágicos para o ajudarem no combate a Medusa, tais como: um alforge, um par de sandálias aladas, que lhe permitiam elevar-se como uma pena e escapar velozmente dos monstros, um escudo de bronze bem polido cujo reflexo neutralizava o olhar petrificante das irmãs de Medusa e um capacete que, uma vez colocado, o convertia numa figura invisível, possibilitando-o de se aproximar de Medusa sem este ser descoberto. Quando Perseu a decapitou usando uma foice com uma rigidez de diamante e bem afiada, uma oferta do deus Hermes, as grandes figuras mitológicas Pégasso (o cavalo alado) e Crisaor, com a sua espada dourada, nasceram do pescoço de Medusa. Perseu recolheu a cabeça decapitada de Medusa e colocou-a no alforge que as ninfas lhe tinham entregue para manter a cabeça bem tapada de todos os olhares, pois Medusa, mesmo depois de morta, seria ainda capaz de petrificar quem a fitasse nos olhos tal era a dimensão do seu poder. Durante a aventura de Perseu, na missão de entregar a cabeça de Medusa ao rei, teve a oportunidade de fazer da cabeça uma poderosa arma de defesa e transformar em pedra Atlas, o gigante titã, e a inteira corte de Polidectes. Com o rei então convertido a uma estátua de pedra, a cabeça de Medusa foi dedicada à deusa Atena que, por fim, colocou-a no seu escudo como adorno e símbolo apotrópico, que era uma arte comummente usada para afastar tudo o que seria malévolo.

I was shooting Gina in a halter top and had the idea of throwing this on top of her. I love this shawl....lol I have used it in many different ways and I keep finding new ways to use it.
I wanted to shoot Gina as a beautiful and sexy woman but, with class!! I am tired of seeing glamour photography that shows the model in the wrong light.

Quiapo Church, officially known as Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a Roman Catholic church located in the District of Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928. Also known as St. John the Baptist Parish, the church at present belongs to the Archdiocese of Manila. The current rector is Rev. Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, who succeeded Msgr. Josefino Ramirez (the Vicar General of the archdiocese) upon the latter's appointment as rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Maysilo, Mandaluyong City.
The Quiapo Church holds a weekly novena every Friday and a procession every year on January 9 devoted to the Black Nazarene. Both are attended by thousands of devotees. Many sick people come to see the Black Nazarene, hoping that getting a chance to pray in front of its miraculous image would heal their sicknesses.

◉ It's Magical when viewed, Large On Black.
Taken on September 7, 2007, the day when my parents came to Rennes to pay me a visit! Earlier, while I was returning back from INRIA, it was an action packed evening. I have uploaded some other shots as well!
I have observed that women photographers who often post their own, beautiful and amazing images are really famous (in terms of image hits/counts on flickr). Next comes the category of images which display intense emotions. I think smooch related images top this particular genre.
This one important reason as to why my photo-set I Love You fetches a great number of hits! (lol)
To step out of this barrier, please do take out some time to take a SLIDE Tour of HDR images that I made. I am sure that it'll be worth your time, efforts and patience!

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.

Nicer on black. I've never felt the urge to use a black background before, but it was just immediately obvious that the white background wasn't working here, and colors are much nicer against a black background. There are some color space issues here and, e.g., the green of the barrel is duller in Firefox than in Photoshop here on my computer. If I had nothing else to do I could probably improve this somewhat, but there are bigger fish that need frying. Sigh.
Back to Pea Ridge National Military Park in NW Arkansas. This was a site of a major battle in the western theater of the U.S. Civil War. The western theater was never of any great significance to the war, though, so this is a bit of "big fish in a small pond".
The site has some wonderful prairie and woods, and they've reconstructed some of the areas, including dribbling the odd canon here and there.
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.

quittant Port-Vendres
20 / 09 / 2010
Je n'étais pas très bien placée, juste eu le temps de me garer rapidement, pas celui d'escalader le talus...
Port-Vendres possède plusieurs ports
* un port de pêche,
* un port de plaisance,
* un port de commerce, principalement fruitier
(il a aussi accueilli des lignes passagers)
[ Le port de commerce
Port continental français le plus proche de l'Afrique du nord, avec des coûts de passage portuaire compétitifs, disposant d'une main d'œuvre fiable et qualifiée et d'installations spécialisées, Port-Vendres bénéficie d'avantages de premier ordre pour établir des lignes de cabotages en Méditerranée et traiter les trafics de fruits et légumes en provenance d'Afrique du nord et d'Amérique du Sud. De plus, la proximité du marché international Saint Charles, première plateforme française de distribution, fait de Port-Vendres le port méditerranéen le mieux placé pour l'entrée des fruits et légumes dans la communauté européenne. Les infrastructures de communications : autoroutes, gare de Perpignan-Roussillon avec un T.G.V " fruits et légumes ", permettent l'acheminement des produits vers les grands centres de consommation dans les délais les plus courts.
Chaque semaine, 3 cargos refrigérés ou porte-conteneurs sont attendus à quai pour débarquer les marchandises (fruits et légumes en provenance du Maroc ou de l'Afrique de l'ouest). Du cœur de ville, on peut voir manœuvrer ces gros navires au milieu du port. Le port de commerce peut accueillir des bateaux longs de 155 mètres et avec un tirant d’eau de 8 mètres. Impressionnant… ! ](extrait du site officiel de Port-Vendres )

Antes de hacer la foto dudé en hacerla en modo A, es decir con prioridad de abertura, ya que no me gusta usarla en modo P y que sea la máquina la que controle la exposición. También pensé en usarla en modo SCENE, pero no sabía bien cuál elegir. Así que giré el disco de control hasta seleccionar el diafragma adecuado, teniendo en cuenta que se incrementaba 1/3 EV. A veces uso el modo M para ajustar la abertura y la velocidad del obturador, pero eso me hace perder tiempo. Eso sí antes le di al botón WB para ajustar el balance de blancos exactamente en 5300 K. También podía haber usado el balance de blanco a un solo toque que mola mucho, pero no tenía ninguna hoja de papel blanco a mano (es que no puedo estar por todo). Seguidamente le di al botón ISO para ajustar la sensibilidad. Luego dudé entre elegir la medición ESP, ponderada central o puntual. Podía utilizar esta última, midiendo en las altas luces y compensando la exposición dándole + 2 puntos, usando el botón para tal fin y teniendo configurado el intervalo de paso EV en 1/3EV, para luego recuperar información en el postprocesado. Al final me decidí por la ESP y que fuera la cámara la que midiera, no lo iba a hacer todo yo. También podía haber usado la medición HI, es decir de puntos con control de iluminación, pero no lo consideré necesario. Aunque usar la medición puntual y bloquear la exposición con el botón AEL/AFL tampoco hubiera sido mala idea. Luego, decidí usar el S-AF, para enfocar automáticamente pues usar el MF es más complicado sin la pantalla partida de mi antigua OM2. Así que presioné el botón hasta la mitad bloquear el enfoque y que se iluminara la marca de confirmación AF. Tampoco quise configurar el botón AEL/AFL para activar el modo C-AF. Una vez decidido, miré por el visor fijándome que me indicara la marca de confirmación AF y que la indicación de sobre o subexpuesto no parpadease. Pero no he dicho que previamente usé la función “reducción de ruido” pues es sabido que durante el fotografiado a una velocidad de obturación lenta es posible que aparezca ruido en la pantalla ya que se genera corriente en las secciones del dispositivo de captación de imagen que normalmente no están expuestas a la luz, dando como resultado un aumento de temperatura en el mencionado dispositivo de captación o en el circuito accionador de este dispositivo de captación de imagen. Como quería ver previamente la profundidad de campo, configuré el botón Fn para esta función y lástima que mi cámara no tiene estabilizador de imagen que si no también lo configuro. Además, como tenía problemas para enfocar automáticamente, enfoqué el objeto a fotografiar y pulsé el botón a medias hasta que se encendió la marca de confirmación AF y mientras mantenía pulsado a medias el botón disparador, me moví a la composición deseada. Otra cosa, como la cámara tiene tres cuadros AF de enfoque, traté de enfocar usando el cuadro AF central. Como modo de grabación elegí el formato RAW con 3200x2400 píxeles. Me gusta más que el HQ o SQ. No sé si he dicho que contraste lo tenía configurado en NATURAL, no me gusta el VIVID y el ajuste de gradación estaba en NORMAL, pues el CLAVE ALTA o CLAVE BAJA no eran adecuados para esta toma. Y no me di cuenta, pero podía haber puesto la compensación de sombreado en ACTIVADO pues va bien con objetivos gran angulares. Se me olvidaba decir que el filtro de ruido lo puse en ESTANDAR.
En fin, que mientras hacía todo esto, Dedodisparador se empezaba a impacientar, así que simplemente miré, encuadré y disparé... total...
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

El petirrojo europeo2 (Erithacus rubecula) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Muscicapidae.3 Está distribuido por toda Europa, principalmente en la región meridional y occidental del continente, donde habita todo el año en Centroeuropa y es migrante parcial en el Norte de Europa y Norte de África.
Descripción
Tiene el tamaño de un gorrión común (Passer domesticus) (largo de 14 cm), pero es más ligero. Los adultos se distinguen por el color naranja intenso de su pecho y cara, sobre un plumaje pardo oliváceo. Los jóvenes carecen de color anaranjado y son marcadamente moteados de pardo oscuro y ocráceo. Destacan sus ojos grandes, negros y redondos. Los polluelos mientras están en el nido tienen el interior del pico de color amarillo verdoso. Es relativamente confiado con el hombre, pudiendo llegar a comer de su mano, en algunos casos.
Hábitat
Bosques húmedos (robledales, hayedos y otros) con abundante matorral y bosques de ribera. Muy común en parques y jardines urbanos. Es uno de los pájaros más fáciles de atraer a comederos y cajas nido. En la Península Ibérica, las poblaciones aumentan considerablemente al llegar el otoño, sobre todo en años fríos, cuando los ejemplares del norte buscan refugio en nuestras latitude
Reproducción
En el petirrojo, generalmente es la hembra la que acude al macho en su territorio. Cuando ella está esperando la segunda puesta, el macho se encarga de la alimentación de la primera. Los recién nacidos empiezan a volar a los 13-14 días de salir del huevo.
Periodo de nidificación: de abril a agosto.
Número de crías: 1-2 al año.
Número de huevos: 5-6 en cada puesta. Son blancos con puntitos marrones.
Incubación: 13-14 días.
Costumbres
El petirrojo es un pájaro muy sociable, atrevido y curioso que acostumbra a salir del bosque y plantarse a mitad de un camino para ver quién llega a su propiedad, emitiendo su característica voz de alerta: un chip-chip metálico y seco. Su canto es un gorjeo musical, muy melódico, parecido al del ruiseñor. Construye su nido en alguna oquedad resguardada en el bosque.
Alimentación
El hábitat del petirrojo europeo o común son los jardines, setos, bosquecillos. Se alimenta, mayoritariamente, de invertebrados pequeños que viven en el suelo (insectos, pequeñas arañas,sanguijuelas o gusanos). En otoño y en la primavera se alimenta también de bayas y frutos pequeños.
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.

Monday 4th was dedicated to defend immigration rights. The main actions yere in the morning in front of the immigration center of Rostock (where a protester was injured and a couple detained) and in the afternoon, a rally at a refugee camp. This was followed by a large unauthorized demonstration, resulting in hours of waiting until the authorities allowed the protesters to go to to the harbor.
Here, one of the numerous clowns during the demonstration.
Please read the explanation at the beginning of the set and view the pictures in chronological order.

As i mentioned at the turn of the year i would be putting more effort into seascape and architectural long exposures and trying to get better at not only the shooting side but also the processing side. Ive been out quite a few times and have a few shots that im working on at the minute. Last Thursday i had a check of the tides for Friday and high tide was at 2pm which was handy as i work near Seaton Sluice and finish work at 1.30. I had intended to go to the Tank Defence blocks in my previous shot but didnt think the tide would be high enough so made the decision to go to the Sluice at the Southern end of the beach near Old Hartley. I had been here just the week before but wasnt happy with my shots.
Upon arrival i was amazed at how high the tide was compared to my last high tide visit and a bit worried as the sea was rather lively! The waves were crashing into this wall and coming over and also there were big swells coming towards the concrete section i was standing on that looked like they would breach. I kept well back and stuck my Sigma 17-70 on and proceeded to take many long exposures of both this wall and the groyne to the left of me (shown in the description).
In this 6 minute odd exposure i used my Hoya ND64 (6 Stop) & Hoya NDX400 (8.6 Stop) stacked to try and flatten out the water and get some nice streaks in the clouds which were moving pretty slowly.
Processing wise i opened the shot in Camera Raw, added a grad to the sky then a grad to the foreground to lighten. I literally couldve posted it like that but as ive recently bought the Wacom Intuos 5 i had a mess about with that and some layer adjustments.
You gotta love this beach... theres so much to shoot at any tide :D
Going through my archives I found this ...The detail and colour really shine here.........This male Mallard didn't mind me watching him at all.
"Breeding (Alternate) Plumage: Head iridescent dark green. Narrow white neck ring. Breast chestnut-brown. Back and wings brownish gray. Underparts light grayish. Rump and under tail black, with white area just in front along flanks. Tail white on outside with black middle feathers. Central tail feathers curled up toward back. Bill yellow to greenish, with black nail at tip. Eyes dark. Feet red.
Eclipse (Basic) Plumage: Crown dark green. Face pale brownish. Dark line through eye. Breast warm brown. Body and wings mottled brown, white, and buff. Slight upturn to central tail feathers. Bill clear yellowish olive."
Have a great day everyone!!
Artist Dale Chihuly's glass art is displayed here around the rare Crested Saguaro at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. The Chihuly exhibition at the Garden is named "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass" and Chihuly's work is displayed from November 22, 2008 to May 31, 2009. The Nature of Glass exhibit features new and unique works of glass artfully located throughout the Garden. Dale Chihuly is known for his innovative glass sculptures, and his work is immediately recognizable for its grand scale and vibrant colors. This is Chihuly's first exhibition in an outdoor desert environment.
“The artist permits and encourages photography of the artwork in this exhibition for educational and non-commercial use only.”
INFORMATION ON THE SAGUARO CACTUS:
The Saguaro, pronounced "sah-wah-roh", (Carnegiea gigantea) is a large, tree-sized cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and California, United States and northern Mexico.
Saguaros are slow growing, taking up to 75 years to develop a side arm. The arms themselves are grown to increase the plants reproductive capacity (more apices equal more flowers and fruit). The growth rate of saguaros is strongly dependent on local precipitation patterns, and saguaros in drier western Arizona grow only half as fast as those in and around Tucson, Arizona. Some specimens may live for more than 150 years; the champion saguaro grows in Maricopa County, Arizona and is 13.8 m tall with a girth of 3.1 m. (It was injured as a result of the Cave Creek Complex fire in June 2005.) In addition to being slow growing, they are also slow to propagate. These two factors argue for the placement of the saguaro on the endangered species list, although they are not on any such list. Harming one in any manner (including cactus plugging) is illegal by state law in Arizona, and when houses or highways are built, special permits must be obtained to move or destroy any saguaro affected.
The ribs of the saguaro are used for construction and other purposes by aboriginal Americans of the region. A fine example can be seen in the roofing of the cloisters of the Mission San Xavier del Bac on the Tohono O'odham lands near Tucson, Arizona. The Seri people of northwestern Mexico used the plant, which they call mojépe, for a number of purposes.
The saguaro blossom is the state flower of Arizona.

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."
