El Puig de Rialb es un núcleo de población del municipio noguerenc de la Baronia de Rialb , en el Segre Medio .
Esta región comprende las montañas y torrentes de la izquierda del río Rialb , casi al mismo paralelo de Sant Martí , algo al norte. Forma un triángulo que tiene a poniente el río Rialb , al norte las montañas de Gavarra , a levante el torrente de Vilarrúbia o de Gavarra y el término de Pallerols Se accede por una pista asfaltada derivada de la carretera comarcal C-1412b , que une Ponts con los Pallars , en el P.K. 15,250 a la altura de la Collada de la Santa. Este camino asfaltado sigue el trazado del Rialb y pasados doscientos metros sobre el Molí Nou atraviesa un puente sobre el mismo río e inicia un camino carretero de pendiente pronunciada hasta el Puig. Otras rutas para llegar son desde el camino de Gavarra o desde el camino que sale de Pallerols y pasa cerca de la Masia Confòs. .El topónimo estrictamente del Puig 'aparece tardíamente en la documentación, al menos que sea aplicado a la parroquia de San Andrés; se encuentra desde el siglo XV . Un documento citado de 1033 parece que se refiere a Sant Andreu del Puig, de esta zona del Rialb, en el que el conde de Pallars devuelve al obispo Ermengol bienes que se había apropiado indebidamente, y cita la tercera parte de diezmos de la parroquia de San Esteban, que podría ser la de Pallerols y de Sancto Andrea de ipso Puio.
Al final del periodo estudiado todo el Rialb Sobirà formaba una parroquia, que era la de San Martín de Taravall , que tenía por sufragáneas San Cristóbal y San Andrés del Puig. Aunque esta zona del Rialb Sobirà contaba con fuerza población, la economía eclesiástica era pobre, en la décima del año 1279 no consta que pagara nada, fuera de San Cristóbal y Pallerols, en la décima de 1391 , la tasa del Rialb Soberano era de 10 sueldos en un plazo, la de San Cristóbal era de 11 sueldos, y la del Rialb Jussà era de 23 sueldos.
El paso de la iglesia de Sant Andreu del Puig parroquia fue durante el pontificado del obispo Andreu Capella , por cuanto el 1574 , la de San Andrés aún era sufragánea de Sant Martí. En cuanto al dominio feudal de la zona, como en el resto del Rialb Soberano era de los señores del castillo de Taravall, que fueron los Caboet, el capítulo de Urgell y otros, como los Peramola . El pueblo fue residencia del rector hasta el 1936 .

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.
Much better large
I've been trying to follow the Haiti earthquake closely, as they are very close to us here in the Caribbean, but the truth is that this is heartbreaking stuff, and very hard to watch. Before uploading this, I read that they are talking about the possibility of 200,000 dead! The 2004 Tsunami ended up around 230,000, but that was spread in beteween 10-12 nations. This is 200,000 on a single country....and the poorest country in the western hemisphere at that.
With that said, I started thinking, what would happen if I were to die tomorrow and how I would feel about it. I've never really thought about this before. I've had a good life so far, no complaints on my part. I've traveled, seen the world, graduated from college, I've been fairly successful, have my own house, married to a great woman, etc.
On the professional side, I still have a lot more to accomplish. I've had a dream for quite a few years and I believe that the dream will become a reality this year. It certainly is the perfect moment for it, I just have to get things together and do this. I have always been my toughest critic and I put a lot of pressure on myself, but that's just me.
On the personal side, I wish I was able to leave a deeper mark on others. I do not have a ton of friends, but rather a good group of intensely loyal friends that matter much more. Those are the ones that I know they have my back no matter what. To those few loyal friends, I'll be forever greatful.
To my lovely wife, I got so lucky marrying this amazing woman, that I almost still don't believe it, and it has already been 8 years. She is amazing and I can't ask for anything better. I really can't see myself without her.....it would suck big time not being around her.
Iker....I would watch over him, no matter where I would go. That little guys has changed my life so quickly and in so many ways. Between him and Anabel, I have all the reasons in the world to look for a new day, everyday. It's not that I am afraid of death, but rather, I have a LOT TO LIVE FOR.
Disclaimer: I am not depressed, suicidal, or something similar. I am OK, it's just random thoughts.

The translation between the architectural design and the subsequent actualization process is mediated by various tools and techniques. Through the adoption in architectural design practice of computation and information technologies, with their capacity for a relatively seamless transition between design and fabrication, a more integrated workflow across the design and actualization process is made more accessible to designers. In recent years, designers have become increasingly able to move effortlessly between digital modeling, performance simulation, and physical realization. As technology evolves, this rapidly evolving field continually presents architects and designers with new challenges and opportunities for creative exploration as well as a more materially intelligent practice. This course pursued research in architectural design placing technology as a driver in the creative processes. In the course, ceramics served as the framework for research, discussion and experimentation on digital design and fabrication technologies. While ceramics has one of the longest histories as a material in architecture, it may also still be one of the material families to offer the potential and mutability to generate a range of novel applications by engaging a variety of emerging digital fabrication processes. The Craft-based manufacturing and high-volume industrial production traditionally associated with clay-based ceramics was rethought through the lens of digital design and fabrication techniques. The extension of the capacity for the application of ceramics in architecture through an engagement with digital design and fabrication was explored during semester-long group research projects with the additional guidance of the Harvard Ceramics Program and with support from the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturer’s Association (ASCER).

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.

This Veritas RS was purchased by the current owner in 2001 from the assets of its deceased owner Björn Övre. Mr. Övre was a collector of Veritas and early BMW cars who has purchased already in the 1950s and 1960s several Veritas cars in Belgium and imported them to Norway. He was indeed well known in Veritas circles and often a most welcomed guest at Veritas meetings at Meßkirch and at the Nürburgring. Sadly his intention to restore 61651 after retiring did not happen due to his untimely death.
After being in the now vendors ownership the car was completely restored by German specialist Georg Thiele and a photographic documentation of the restoration is available in the cars file. This restoration included restoring the original space frame, front and rear axles, wheels, braking system and fitting of new shock absorbers, rebuilt engine with new pistons, polished con rods, new oil and water pumps (by Feierabend) and a 5 - speed gearbox is fitted with the original gearbox supplied. Fresh paint and seats trimmed in the traditional style finish the car.
Today 61651 presents itself in superb race and road ready condition. This car campaigned in many classic races, rallies and classic outings all over Europe within the last 10 years while in the ownership of its current custodian, himself a well known pre - and post war BMW collector and is in mint condition throughout. Needless to say that it is highly collectible, very rare and simply beautiful, certainly not to be missed.
Der Veritas RS # 61651 stammt aus dem Nachlass des norwegischen Sammlers Björn Öwre und wurde in 2001 vom jetzigen Einlieferer vom Nachlass - Verwalter erworben. Öwre besaß seit den 1950/1960er Jahren mehrere Veritas, die er in Belgien erworben und nach Norwegen importiert hatte. Er war den Veritas Freunden seit Jahren bekannt und ein gern gesehener Gast an deren Treffen in Meßkirch und am Nürburgring.
Unter der Leitung von Herrn Georg Thiele und dank vorhandener Pläne wurde 61651 von Grund auf restauriert. Der originale Gitterrohrrahmen wurde auf einer Richtbank vermessen und ausgerichtet. Beide Achsen wurden komplett revidiert, ebenso Räder,Adapter, Bremsen sowie Bremsseile und Leitungen. Der Wagen erhielt neue Stoßdämpfer. Der Motor wurde mit neuen Hochleistungskolben versehen, die Pleuel wurden ausgerichtet und poliert. Öl - und Wasserpumpen lieferte die bekannte Fa. Feierabend. Der Zylinderkopf ( Bristol 100 ) bekam neue Solex 32PJCB - Vergaser ( NOS ). Ein leistungsfähiges Kühlsystem ist ebenso verbaut wie der für den Rennbetrieb vorgeschriebene Ölauffangbehälter. Zur Zeit ist ein VOLVO 5-Gang Getriebe verbaut, jedoch ist das Original - Getriebe vorhanden.
Der Gitterrohrrahmen wurde mit Aluminium Blechen beplankt, teilweise unter Verwendung alter Karosserie - Teile. Die Lackierung ( innen + aussen ) wurde ebenso wie die Sattlerarbeiten in der ,, alten Art ,, ausgeführt. Das Armaturenbrett und die Instrumente wurden nach Vorlagen und Muster neu angefertigt und entsperechen dem Original.
Tank und Batterie wurden aus Sicherheitsgründen - abweichend vom Original - im Heck des Wagens untergebracht. Eine Fotodokumentation ist vorhanden.

Alone at bay as I await for my love,
like the moon chasing for the sun
and as the stars dance with the wind,
I wait for you.
How I just wish that whereever you are,
you could hear my voice-pearcing through the air
As I wait for you my love,
and stand here-waiting for thy love to come home
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
among all my shots. I think this would be the best. a thousand words. a thousand thoughts. a never-ending cycle of emotions. It feels good to finally see myself getting good at this (photography). On how much our passion made us change through time. I really enjoy looking at people's old photostream and look at their oldest pictures and see how they're style and shots are evolving-it's just absolutely marvelous!
tihs shot, is dedicated to no one else but to the boy i'm talking to right now. I know that you don't trust me THAT much yet and I understand. I just hope, in the long run-it'll all work out between us. You were my inspiration today,thank you.
p.s. I didn't know that there was a dog on the boat until I decided to open it in Lightroom. it was a fine touch to make this shot perfect :)

Melosira varians se desarrolla formando largos filamentos que parecen palidecer bajo el agua, no se trata de un alga enferma, su color verde apagado se transforma en dorado cuando se observa desde muy cerca, es una diatomea que se engarza en largas cadenas de microscópicas cuentas de collar.
Melosira varians se reproduce casi siempre partíéndose por la mitad. Sus células tienen forma de barril, barril cilíndrico delicado y especial que se abre por la mitad en dos partes iguales como si fuesen la base y la tapa de una caja cristalina. Cuando se parte en dos, la base fabrica una tapa y la tapa una base de tal forma que de un individuo surgen ahora dos.
Pero también Melosira tiene otro plan, un plan B, como ayer nos mostraba Oedogonium y el resultado de ese plan aparece hoy en la galería.
Generalmente y antes de la llegada del invierno un filamento de Melosira actuará como productor de gametos masculinos y dará lugar a células móviles como pequeños espermatozoides. Otro filamento diferente producirá en su interior gametos femeninos, dejando abierto un poro en la pared de cristal.
El final de la historia es fácil de adivinar, un espermatozoide se colará por la pequeña ventana y fecundará al óvulo, el resultado es la formación de una auxospora o auxozigoto, que será el germen de una nueva vida completamente renovada. Con la llegada de la primavera, con un poco más de luz y algo más de calor la auxospora germinará y dará lugar a un nuevo filamento.
Melosira es una diatomea filamentosa y común en cualquier tipo de agua, la de hoy ha venido de Navarcles en Barcelona y está aquí, mostrando su particular belleza gracias a África. La fotografía se ha tomado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Richard Irvine (10 April 1910 in Salt Lake City, Utah – 30 March 1976) was an American art director. He was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Art Direction for the film Sundown. He worked on 31 films between 1939 and 1953.
Irvine was then selected by Walt Disney to help construct Disneyland. He moved from 20th Century Fox to the Walt Disney Studio in 1952. Irvine became a senior figure at Walt Disney Imagineering. Until his retirement in 1973, Dick headed design and planning for all Disneyland attractions, ranging from the Haunted Mansion to Pirates of the Caribbean. Irvine became executive vice president and chief operations officer at Walt Disney Imagineering in 1967.
Irvine's Daughter Maggie followed in her father's footsteps and also joined WDI. His son married Kim Thomas (Now Kim Irvine, who currently is an Art Director at WDI) who is Imagineering legend and fellow colleague Leota Toombs's daughter. Irvine died in 1976 in Los Angeles, California after suffering with illness which prohibited him from ever seeing the complete Walt Disney World Resort which opened in 1971. In his honor one of the original Riverboats were named after him (See Richard F. Irvine Riverboat).
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

Construction of the main garrison area began on November 15, 1940. The first commander, Lieutenant Colonel Marston, rented office space in the Bank of America building in Paso Robles. His command consisted of the office, plans and specifications for construction of the facilities, and a few tents. From those humble beginnings the operation grew to involve over 8,000 workers in the construction of a training site capable of housing 30,000 trainees at one time.
Construction took approximately nine months, and the area received the heaviest recorded rainfall before or since. During construction it was decided to change the original name, Camp Nacimiento, to Camp Roberts in honor of 22-year-old Corporal Harold W. Roberts, a World War I tank driver from San Francisco who died in France in the Argonne Offensive, and was awarded the Medal of Honor. Today, Camp Roberts is the only major Army military installation named for a non-commissioned officer.
Camp Roberts officially began its mission as one of the world’s largest training sites in March 1941. It featured the world’s largest parade field (the length of 14 football fields) and hosted an Infantry Replacement Training Center and a Field Artillery Replacement Training Center. 436,000 troops passed through an intensive 17-week training cycle. A peak population of 45,000 troops was reached in 1944, with thousands of these soldiers quartered in huge tent cities. Besides the two Training Centers, there was a 750-bed hospital and intern facilities for German and Italian prisoners of war. Many of the Italian POWs swore allegiance to America after Italy surrendered, and spent the remainder of the war as service unit workers at Camp Roberts.
Many famous people received their military training here during WWII, including Caspar Weinberger, Robert Mitchum, Steve Allen, Steve “Hercules” Reeves, and comedy legend Red Skelton, who headlined Camp Roberts’ entertainment troupe. Many other celebrities, like Laurel and Hardy, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny and Marlene Dietrich have come to Camp Roberts to entertain countless troops at the Soldier Bowl.
On July 1, 1946, with the out-processing of WWII soldiers complete, Camp Roberts was inactivated as a training site, reverting to ‘caretaker’ status, with a skeleton crew to maintain it. Reserve units conducted their 15-day summer training cycles, and it remained so until the outbreak of the Korean War.
In June 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea, and the United Nations quickly responded. The following month, Camp Roberts was re-activated for Regular Army troop training, and soon added an Armor Replacement Training Center. The terrain resembled that found in Korea, and the famed 7th Armored Division was in charge of training. By the end of fighting in September 1953, approximately 300,000 troops had completed their training here. After returnee out-processing in early 1954, camp Roberts reverted once again to caretaker status, continuing to train National Guard and Army Reserve units’ summer training periods.
During the Vietnam era, Camp Roberts once again bustled with activity, though not on as grand a scale as in WWII or the Korean War. The installation was not ‘officially’ open, and thus earned the title “most active inactive post in the U.S.” Many troops were brought down from Fort Ord after in processing for their basic training and returned there for graduation and assignment. In the 1960s, the Army’s first satellite network was constructed here, and the Army’s Combat Development Experimental Command (CDEC) did much vehicle and weapons testing. The Navy also trained crews for river patrol boats here. Vietnam was the last era Army Basic Training was given here.
The US Army officially closed Camp Roberts in April 1970, and on April 2, 1971, the California Army National Guard received control of the Camp under license from the Army to establish a Reserve Component training and mobilization facility. Camp Roberts continues to operate in this fashion today. Military units from all service branches (and some foreign countries) continue to train here, and it also hosts a large wheel and track maintenance school for reserve soldiers. In recent years, many National Guard units have been processed through Camp Roberts to meet the Nation’s needs in the War on Terrorism by being deployed throughout the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
The history of Camp Roberts is effectively related in the Camp Roberts Historical Museum, which is housed in the original WWII Red Cross Headquarters (Main Museum) and the original WWII Camp Roberts Post Office (Museum Annex).

Poroiba - Akau - Wigschool - Pruikenschool
The wigmen of the Huli people aren't like Western toupee manufacturers. They are wizards who only work with people who have fine heads of hair.
What a traditional wigman does is use ancient magic to make hair grow faster than normal so it can be cut off and turned into a wig. Evidently, magic - like hair restorer - doesn't work if the hair is long gone.
This singular way of making hairpieces is found in the Tari Valley, 2000m up in the Highlands of PNG, an area just starting to make the transition from the old ways of centuries past to the new ideas which have begun to flow from the outside world.
When I explored the villages and roadside markets around the lodge, most of the men I met were wearing caps, but a good number still went about their daily business dressed in the traditional wigs.
In fact many had not one but two wigs - a plain day wig shaped like an upturned bowl, and an ornate ceremonial wig decorated with bird feathers - possession of which, like ownership of many pigs or having more than one wife, is a sign of wealth and status.
As a result the wigmen are still much in demand. And, this being a place where magic is taken very seriously, they are deeply respected. The sign welcoming visitors to Tari Airport highlights the fact that the area is "Home to the Huli wigman."

The Huli are an indigenous people that live in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. They number over 65,000 and have been living in the area for at least 600 years. They speak Huli, Tok Pisin, and English.
From:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huli_people
We bezoeken de pruikenschool van de Huli in het heel afgelegen en geïsoleerd dorpje Poroiba.
Dit is een 'school' met leerlingen en leraren dus. Eerst moeten de jongens toegelaten worden. De jongens moeten bevestigen dat ze nog geen sex gehad hebben met het andere geslacht. Dan worden ze ingewijd in de rituelen om het haar te laten groeien. Ten vroegste na 9 maand intens 'voeden' van de haren met gezang en hoofd besproeien, kan de leeraar oordelen of het haar klaar is voor een pruik. Dan volgt een eerste knipping. Genoeg haar dan voor een gewone pruik. Een volledige cyclus is 18 maand. De jongens blijven al die maanden ter plaatse en ze moeten maagd blijven. Sommige laten de haren groeien zo dat ze 2 pruiken hebben. Genoeg voor een ceremoniële pruik. Het is een statuussymbool.
i'll explain the quote first. why is it that, every once in a while, all the guys from my past pop up at the same time? it's not a scattered random thing, it's like they all get together and mark it off on their calendars. RIDICULOUS. And they always say things that are supposed to impress me. Things like "I'm starting three companies soon," or "hobbies? well, i like to save lives and help people." or "i saved my puppy from a fire when i was seventeen." or they'll talk about their extensive jean collections. or they're obsessed with their cars. THESE ARE ALL REAL THINGS. uggggggghhhhh i don't CARE. if you want to impress me, talk to me about the political agenda behind the "go green" campaign. talk to me about the social influence of volcanic eruptions. Talk to me about the origin of the high heel. ANYTHING. I don't care. But I get annoyed when people say things that don't fit into a conversation just to be impressive. *sigh*
anyway! had work today. it was actually a lot of fun. I like earning money, not going to lie. But I like talking with patients, knowing what they're feeling, helping out.
After work, i went through holiday hell, which is the mall closest to my house. looking for dad's birthday present, which ended up a bust. Then i spent several hours making cookies for tonight. They ended up DELICIOUS.
after some more shopping with my family, i got dressed up for the christmas party. WHICH was fun and eventful. I actually talked to boyfriends friends more than i usually do. It was nice, finding a little bit of a place for myself in their RIDICULOUSLY tight knit group. even the girlfriends are close to everyone. My disadvantage? I don't live here. Oh yeah and i don't work with all of them. *sigh* but i'm making my way, and i believe i earned brownie points for sticking around through all the drama of last year.
i'm exhausted, though, after spending time with all of those people. so now? bed. oh yes. it's glorious.
christmas eve tomorrow!

Collotheca sorprende por su larga corona extensible, lanza las redes de finos filamentos de seda y en vez de hacerlos rodar espera y lo hace protegido por una fina vaina casi invisible que viste su torso y su cola. Se trata de un rotífero que presenta una corona formada por varios lóbulos que pueden ir de 1 a 7 sobre los que se despliegan abanicos de finísimos filamentos. Estos filamentos envían hacia el interior del cono que forman, cualquier organismo que tropieza con ellos para pasar a su boca y ser así masticados y digeridos ▷ .
Pero cualquier roce de cualquier ser inesperado, cualquier sobresalto, hace que este tímido ser se repliegue y esconda su red de filamentos y su corona dentro del cuerpo, para volver a desplegarla cuando siente que el peligro ha pasado ▷ .
Las diferentes especies del género se distinguen por el número de lóbulos de la corona y las características del borde membranoso que los une.
Collotheca vive generalmente asentado sobre los tallos de plantas acuáticas sumergidas y cerca de la orilla despliega sus redes para capturar su alimento que casi siempre está constituido por algas.

According to Wikipedia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (more commonly known as The Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning its interior walls) was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I and although it is still popularly used as a mosque, it is also a popular tourist attraction. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque has one main dome, six minarets, and eight secondary domes. The design is the culmination of two centuries of Ottoman mosque development. It incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect, Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendor. The facade of the spacious forecourt was built in the same manner as the facade of the Süleymaniye Mosque (also included in this set). The court is about as large as the mosque itself, is surrounded by a continuous vaulted arcade and has a central hexagonal fountain which is small relative to the courtyard. The Hippodrome, from where this image was captured, is park-like area separating the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The fountain toward the center of the Hippodrome has a small mosaic on its side (seen at the bottom of this image) of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia.

Protegerse es una buena manera de aumentar las posibilidades de sobrevivir, lo hacen los animales y las plantas de nuestro mundo visible, pero también los diminutos y fascinantes seres del mundo invisible del agua.
Fabricados de una sola pieza, parecen hacer frente a las dificultades de sus vidas como si fuesen complejísimos sistemas cargados de inteligencia y acción, siempre dispuestos, contra viento y marea a sortear cualquier peligro y aferrarse a la vida con empecinamiento infinito y en ese agarrarse a la vida con toda su fuerza, crean formas insospechadas de belleza.
Todas las diatomeas y la mayoría de las amebas, se protegen de los mil peligros que las acechan, blindando su cuerpo con armaduras transparentes tocadas por la magia de la hermosura.
La diatomea Nitzschia sigmoidea ha fabricado un estuche de dos piezas en S que al estirarse se convirtió en la pendiente juguetona de un suave huracán o de unos pasos de tango…ahora para adelante, ahora para detrás, giro y giro… y mientras, la diatomea de Cyphoderia extiende unos finísimos radios de seda para aferrarse al fondo y no ser transportada por la corriente, desde su maravillosa y sorprendente cas a cristalina.
Han bebido del cuarzo que forma la tierra y con él, en arte de magia construido sus casas transparentes, labradas en finísimos detalles para enfrentarse a la vida con su belleza que es la manifestación de la alegría de su vivir.
La fotografía de hoy, realizada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia, se ha tomado en unas muestras de agua procedentes del río Alhama, a su paso por la localidad riojana de Aguilar del Río Alhama, junto al antiguo poblado celtibérico de Contrebia Leucade.

Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
The baroque bell tower of Vilanova began to construct in 1670 and it was finished in 1705. It is a work of pricked stone, octogonal form, according to planes of a Carmelite, Fray Josep of the Concepció, known by the Tracista by its ability to project. One of its more singular characteristics is than it is not united to the nave of the church.
The overall height, with Angel, is 54 meters. In its interior there is a spiral staircase with 167 steps, and above is the famous Angel. This one was of copper and black bitumened (they called the black angel), measured 2.70m. and it was constructed according to model of the Barcelonian sculptor Miquel Llavina. It turned on its foot and it indicated the wind direction. In 1883 it had to be recovered since it was very damaged by storms and the numerous firings of the militians of the Tumults of Barcelona of 1835 that proved aim.
In 1892 the bell was put, of 1760 kg, that was baptized like Josepa, although the town called Lluca for being donated by Josep Lluc i Torrens. In 1936 the Angel and the bells were fused to make military material. In 1996 a new Angel was placed replacing the original one of 1705, and in August of the 2006 the complete restoration of the bell tower was inaugurated.
One comments that the bell tower is slightly inclined, and the popular legend account that this is the reason because who constructed it threw to the emptiness from the top of the bell tower, but there is no written text that corroborates it.

CASTELLANO
El campanario barroco de Vilanova se empezó a construir en 1670 y se terminó en 1705. Es una obra de piedra picada, de forma octogonal, según planos de un carmelita descalzo, Fray Josep de la Concepció, conocido por el Tracista por su habilidad para proyectar. Una de sus características más singulares es que no está unido a la nave de la iglesia.
La altura total, con Ángel y todo, es de 54 metros. En su interior hay una escalera de caracol de 167 peldaños, y arriba del todo está el famoso Ángel. Éste era de cobre embetunado de negro (le llamaban el ángel negro), medía 2,70m. y fue construido según modelo del escultor barcelonés Miquel Llavina. Giraba sobre su pie y señalaba la dirección del viento. En 1883 se tuvo que restaurar ya que estaba muy dañado por las tormentas y por los numerosos disparos de los milicianos de las Bullangas de Barcelona de 1835 que probaban puntería.
En 1892 se puso la campana, de 1760 kg., que se bautizó como Josepa, aunque el pueblo la llamaba Lluca por haber sido donada por Josep Lluc i Torrens. En 1936 se fundieron el Ángel y las campanas para hacer material de guerra. En 1996 se colocó un nuevo Ángel sustituyendo al original de 1705, y en agosto del 2006 se inauguró la restauración completa del campanario.
Se comenta que el campanario está ligeramente inclinado, y por ello la leyenda popular cuenta que quien lo construyó se arrojó al vacío desde lo alto del campanario, pero no hay ningún texto escrito que lo corrobore.

This is by far my worst work... thanks to my shaky hands... but the best view thus far from Langkawi.
I was seated in my hall trying to fix my SD Card coz the lock slider came off. I looked out my balcony and saw some very nice crimson hues... my balcony faces South so I knew I was at the wrong place... I shouldn't be at home but at the seaside... I should have stayed on at the other end of the island as I was there this afternoon... but this afternoon it was threatening to rain again so I came home.
Anyway, I went to my balcony to see if I could get a clear shot. No luck.
I went downstairs to the first floor, at the poolside and managed a couple of shots. But I was not happy as it looked so beautiful. I thought for a while.
Then I went up to the10th floor. Still no shot.
Very unhappy now... I went to the rooftop. There was a window... but taking a shot from here I would get the penthouse's roof in the frame. Grrrr...
Aha... then I saw the water tank. Should I? I am acrophobic. Being on the roof in itself took a lot of courage. I gathered all my courage and started climbing the metal steps/ladder. Camera around my neck... clinging onto the railings for dear life. When I got to the top... I went.... WOW!!! Legs shaking, hands trembling... I started snapping. Left hand clinging on to dear life... right hand trembling away and snapping away. You can see my hands were shaking away if you saw the picture large. No matter how I changed the ISO or shutter speed it didn't help. Maybe next time I will take my 50mm up instead... yes, there will be a next time. I'll find a way.
So... here you go... my shaky hands, 5 shot panorama.

Enjaulada en su fino palacio de cristal, la ameba sol Penardiophrys asoma sus más de veinte brazos de hilo desde sus ventanas de encaje, para palpar el agua y recoger de ella, con delicadeza, su cosecha de alimentos.
Nadie ha castigado a Penardiophrys a vivir en una jaula tan abierta, que es como un traje de encajes amplios, ventanales circulares que se asoman a la vida desde las profundidades, a fin de cuentas un vestido de princesa tejido con proteínas, quizá no tan hermoso como el de su maravillosa prima Clathrulina, pero sí exclusivo único y especial como ella.
El delicado cuerpo de Penardiophrys posiblemente se dispersaría como la bruma al primer golpe de corriente si su casa jaula no le diese esa protección, y por ello, sus amplias ventanas sostienen sus finos brazos y un largo cabo, sujeta su esfera de palacio anclándolo a los fondos para que no se pierda en el infinito.
Toda esta arquitectura esférica de óvalos soldados que es jaula, es al mismo tiempo vestido holgado y precioso en el que el delicado cuerpo estrellado de Penardiophrys reticulata se refugia. Podrá salir de él en cualquier momento y lo hará para reproducirse, dividiendo su cuerpo blando como lo hacen otras amebas o fabricando en un misterioso proceso células flageladas que en un proceso de mágica metamorfosis formaran de nuevo estas esferas huecas y vivas.
Penardiophrys reticulata vive anclada a los fondos como un globo sujeto por un hilo a la mano de un niño, entre grumos de sedimento, que mullidos la protegen.
Cada una de las ventanas del caparazón de Penardiophrys está enmarcada por unos nervios finos y apenas visibles que forman una estructura de red con facetas similares; todas ellas presentan un fino orificio central a través del que asoman los finísimos pseudópodos (axiopodios) que pueden alcanzar hasta 3 veces el diámetro del caparazón. subcentrally. El núcleo en esta especie está situado casi en posición central y se ve con dificultad.
La especie que mostramos hoy fue descubierta y descrita por Penard en 1904 bajo el nombre de Hedriocystis reticulata . Pero tras la revisión realizada por Mikrjukov en el año 2000, esta especie pasó a formar parte del nuevo género Penardiophrys denominado así en honor a Penard, bajo el nombre de Penardiophrys reticulata .
Esta interesantísima y rara ameba se ha encontrado en escasas ocasiones, sobre vegetación de esfagnos y en el fondo de zonas pantanosas y ésta, desde el Lago de Sanabria es la primera referencia que se hace de ella en territorio Ibérico.
La fotografía de hoy, realizada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia, se ha tomado sobre una muestra recolectada a cinco metros de profundidad, el 30 de agosto de 2015, por Laura, Mª José y Tomás en las inmediaciones de la Isla de Moras en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

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.

View On Black , it's much better !!!
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...

UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

Nasty evil stuff, but really cool looking with some great light. Look, photograph, but me no touch.
From Wikipedia:
The plant is covered with brittle yellow spines that break off easily if the plants are handled or disturbed, and the entire plant has been described as having a "primordial" appearance. Devil's Club is very sensitive to human impact and does not reproduce quickly. The plants are slow growing and take many years to reach seed bearing maturity, and predominately exist in dense, moist, old growth conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest.
This species usually grows in moist, dense forest habitats, and is most abundant in old growth conifer forests. It is found from south-central Alaska to western Oregon and eastward to western Alberta and Montana. Disjunct native populations also occur over 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) away in Lake Superior on Isle Royale and Passage Island, Michigan and Porphyry Island and Slate Island, Ontario.
Native Americans used the plant both as food and medicine. The plant was traditionally used by Native Americans to treat adult-onset diabetes and a variety of tumors. Traditionally, it was and is still used to make paints. In vitro studies showed that extracts of Devil's Club inhibit tuberculosis microbes.[3]
Because Devil's club is related to American Ginseng, some think that the plant is an adaptogen ("mind enhancer"). The plant has been harvested for this purpose and marketed widely as "Alaskan ginseng", which may damage populations of Devil's Club and its habitat.

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.

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 .

Quote from Wikipedia "Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Antony Gormley.
Now permanently erected on Crosby Beach, England, it was due to be moved to New York in November 2006, but there was a controversial proposal to retain the work at Crosby. It was stated in the local paper, the Crosby Herald, that they may stay for a decade, but at a meeting on 7 March 2007, Sefton Council accepted proposals that would allow the sculptures to be kept permanently at Crosby Beach"
There are 100 of these iron figures over a 3 Km stretch of beach.

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
Thought of doing some different processing with the milk-drop-in-coffee.
You can see the green ting which is due the the green b/g from which the light was bounced.
I opened this one in photomatrix and did some tone mapping which gave me a surprisingly "metallic" look.. any comments?

Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Trithigmostoma algivora no puede esconder lo que dice la parte sencilla de su nombre, que se alimenta de algas, y que de un intenso color verde tiñen su interior.
Trithigmostoma es un ciliado pequeño y nervioso, muy parecido a Chilodonella, género del que fue hermano y del que se diferencia por poseer una hilera de cilios en la parte dorsal delanatera. Trithigmostoma tiene forma ovada y una especie de pico redondeado en su parte anterior y en cuya proximidad se abre una pequeña boca en forma de ojal que se prolonga en una corta faringe reforzada por unos bastoncillos similares a los de Nassula.
.
Se mueve deslizándose y dando giros continuos, succionando el agua en la que pudieran estar las algas de las que se alimenta y parece que lo hace con éxito a la vista de lo que se ve que contiene su interior.
Trithigmostoma algivora vive en aguas cargadas de materia orgánica y procede de unas muestras de agua recogidas en la Laguna Grande, junto a la localidad zamorana de Ricobayo y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.
