Photo captured using DCamCapture software (free) running via usb wireless tethering to a Nikon D300.
Got the idea from Pete Tsai
www.flickr.com/photos/8525370@N04/3516604580/
As Pete specified, I used the USB wireless adapter from Cables Unlimited. One plugs into the laptop and the other into the USB port on the camera. The power for the wireless on the camera requires a separate DC supply. Initially there were no 64bit drivers available but they just came out with them. 64 bit drivers for Vista.
For a small regulated DC supply I use a Powerstick by Ecosol. It cost more than batteries but is smaller, lighter weight, is regulated and displays how much charge is left. It lasts ~2.5 hours with continuous use. It is recharged by plugging it into a USB port. (It can also be used to charge my cell phone, mp3 player and GPS.)
For now to mount it to the camera I'm using a plastic foot (from my GPS for the camera) and velcro to attach the USB transmitter. The DC supply is attached with a rubberband to the transmitter. Crude but it works. The packaging needs refining.
For comparison, the Nikon WT-4A wireless transmitter currently costs $780 on Amazon.
Today at lunch I mounted my camera with the transmitter to the tripod and placed it about 3 feet from a birdfeeder outside my window at work. The goldfinch photo (next) is a proof of concept. I'm still testing the range of the transmitter.

Phoenicopterus roseus
El flamenco común (Phoenicopterus roseus) es una especie de ave de la familia Phoenicopteridae, que vive en grandes grupos en zonas acuáticas de África, sudoeste de Asia (incluida Turquía), sur de la India, sur de Europa (incluida España) y Chipre.
Características
Su altura es de 120 a 140 cm, con una envergadura alar semejante, se caracteriza por su plumaje rosado, que en las alas es siempre más intenso y puede llegar a ser rojo, y con las plumas primarias y secundarias de color negro. También son características sus largas patas y su largo cuello.
Historia natural
Se alimentan en lagos pocos profundos, a veces en bandadas de más de un millón de ejemplares y cuando un miembro del grupo detecta peligro, deja de alimentarse y estira el cuello y la cabeza hacia arriba mientras grita, avisando así al resto del grupo.
Como todos los flamencos, esta especie pone en un montón de barro, un solo huevo blanco gredoso. La mayoría del plumaje es rosado-blanco, pero los abrigos del ala son rojizos y las plumas de vuelo son negras. El pico es rosado con la punta negra, y las patas son enteramente rosadas. La llamada parece el toque de una bocina como el graznido de un ganso.
Distribución
Zonas acuáticas de África, sudoeste de Asia (incluida Turquía), sur de la India, sur de Europa (incluida España) y Chipre.
En España anida en la laguna de Fuentedepiedra, Doñana, Cabo de Gata y Delta del Ebro. Otras poblaciones importantes se encuentran en la Camarga. Numerosos flamencos procedentes de estas zonas pasan el invierno y, en ocasiones, gran parte del resto del año, en zonas húmedas del norte de África, como la Mar Chica, en Nador, o la desembocadura del río Souss, al sur de Agadir
Designated a National Historic Site.

To Janie Cooper-Wilson, the Oro African Methodist Episcopal Church is a gold mine of history, culture and community, and recognition of its restoration by the province is incentive to use it as a beacon of hope.
“These awards aren’t given lightly,” said the historian, referring to the two Lieutenant-Governor’s Ontario Heritage Awards received by the Township of Oro-Medonte. “The church has the capability of bringing so many together.”
Last week, Mayor Harry Hughes, on behalf of the township, accepted the Excellence in Conservation Award and the Community Leadership Award for the Oro-African Church preservation project presented by the Ontario Heritage Trust and Elizabeth Dowdeswell, lieutenant-governor of Ontario.
“You never realize how important something is when you’re involved in it, but then you receive an award from the lieutenant-governor general for it, and you feel it’s significant,” said Hughes. “It’s a validation, really.
“It also indicates the values we’re pulling from: inclusiveness, celebrating diversity and working together for the betterment of all,” he added.
The awards were shared with some members of the community who had been involved with the project. As well, those attending the ceremony at council chambers on Wednesday evening viewed a 30-minute video titled, Revival, The Oro-African Church, made by Dave Sullivan, regional producer for Bell Media, documenting the restoration process.
“It’s nice to see it being renovated and coming to the final stage that it’s finished now,” said Twyla Banbury-Campbell, president-secretary Mitchell Square Women’s Institute in Oro-Medonte. “It was very interesting to see that they lifted the building and all the different steps. The gentlemen that did it, did an excellent job.”
Not only was the restoration well done, it also brought together people from varying backgrounds, said Harry Laur, of Barrie, whose wife had been involved in the steering committee of the project.
Cooper-Wilson said the church “connects to all the black sites in Ontario and it shows the collective history as well,” she said. “For so many years, it was pigeonholed as just black soldiers in the war of 1812, but they all had families.”
What worries Cooper-Wilson is that history may repeat itself.
“What’s going on right now with the immigrants trying to escape by crossing the border into Canada, our people did this back when,” she said. “This is just a repeat of the fugitives way back in 1850.”
Although she’s pleased with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approach with open borders, Cooper-Wilson said she’s “absolutely appalled” at what’s happening in the United States of America. “I believe in the concept of what (President Donald Trump) wants to do, but he’s approaching it the wrong way,” she said.
But where the situation may look bleak, there’s hope for Canada to take the role of a leader in welcoming refugees, added Cooper-Wilson.
“United States was sitting there with a feather in the cap as the country that the world looked to, (but) I think it’s going to be Canada now,” she said. “And that church is the way to help the young ones to learn. It’s very important.”
The church on Line 3 North is being opened to the public as a satellite location for the Simcoe County Museum, with tours starting this spring, but that’s not where it should end, said Cooper-Wilson.
“I think the municipality is still on a learning curve,” she said. “My job was done when the church was built – I can step back and someone else can take the next roll – but we all have to do our part. It isn’t about one individual. It’s about all of us, where we don’t see colour or economic status; we see a family – Canada’s family.”
Revival, The Oro-African Church, is now available for public viewing via the township’s website at oro-medonte.ca.

Cacatua galerita triton, identified thanks to Graygeek2008.
ENGLISH
The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Cacatua galerita, is one of the larger and more widespread of Australia's cockatoos. Frequently sought as a cage bird in and out of Australia, they can be so numerous that in crop-growing areas of Australia they are shot or poisoned as pests. Government permit is required though, as they are a protected species under the Australian Commonwealth Law.
They can be destructive to cereal and fruit crops, as well as timber structures such as house planking, garden furniture and trees.
The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is similar in appearance to the three species of corella found in Australia. Corellas are smaller, however, and lack the prominent yellow crest. There are a few regional subspecies within Australia.
Typically these birds will weigh around 800 grams. In most cases, male birds can be distinguished from Females with their almost black eyes, whereas the female has a more red/brown coloured eye. Their distinctive raucous call can be very loud; it is meant to travel through the forest environments in which they live, including tropical and subtropical rainforests. These birds are naturally curious creatures, as well as very intelligent. They have adapted very well to European settlement in Australia and live in many urban areas.
Sulphur-crested cockatoos may no longer be imported into the United States as a result of the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they have been bred in captivity. The potential owner should be aware of the bird's needs, as well as how loud these birds can be and their natural desire to chew wood and other hard and organic materials.

La Cacatua galerita, también conocida con el nombre de Cacatua de Moño Amarillo Mayor, forma parte de la família cacatúidos que está formada por 17 espécies de cacatúas, todas ellas distribuidas en Australasia.
Su plumaje es predominantemente blanco con un destacado penacho de color amarillo. Las coberteras de los oídos son de un color amarillo más fuerte. Anillo perioftálmico blanco. Muestra el color amarillo en las plumas de la subcola y en el reverso de las remeras. El pico, al igual que sus patas, es gris.
Su area de distribución va desde Nueva Guinea a las Islas Aru y, desde el noreste de Australia, hasta Tasmania, aunque también ha sido introducida en distintas islas como Nueva Zelanda y Indonesia.
Las plumas del penacho de la Cacatua galerita triton, amarillo-azufre, son más redondeadas y anchas que las de la gran Cacatúa de Penacho Amarillo (Cacatua galerita galerita).

Second installment of my "in the flesh"
Year : 2005
Placement : Right forearm
Complete time : 6 hours
chronology : 3rd tattoo
This was a drawing i made on a friends coffee table back in 1999.
over time i changed a few parts of it,then redrew it before i
got it inked into my skin. I shopped the photo so you can see the whole
thing,as it wraps around my inner forearm.
At the heart of it,is a warped Infinity style symbol,branching out towards my hand.
this particular idea for me was this ...
I have 4 points to my life and this tattoo is reflective of them
1 the person i was born,
2 the person i have become,
3 the death of my body, and
4 the death of my mind/imagination.
on the left there is a point that looks like a claw,or spike.
this is the Person i was born. the person i was raised as and
molded by my parents and family to be.
on the opposite side,to the right is the person i am now.
this is the man i became,when it crossed over what i was
made to know,or believe . Now i have the will to decide for myself
what i believe and what is right or wrong.
the two fang-like points on my inner wrist are my deaths.
the left signifies the death of my mortal body,the final
moment of inhabiting this shell in whatever condition it is in.
and the right is the only death i truly fear...
the Death of my imagination. of my thoughts.
in some respects the death would also include
peoples memories of me. the knowledge or
talent i have shown people. The challenges i have
shown my friends,or the inspiration i have been to them.
this death would mean i am no longer even a memory in
anyone's heart. that anything and everything i have ever done
or said is finally dead.
this tattoo remains black and grey to this day,but originally it was
going to be full color with blood red tips for the four points.
perhaps someday i will get it all filled in.
Thank you for your comments!
Orchard Road is a road in Singapore that is the retail and entertainment hub of the city-state. It is regularly frequented by the local population as well as being a major tourist attraction. Often the surrounding area is known simply as Orchard.
The immediate vicinity of Orchard Road, Orchard Planning Area is one of 55 urban planning areas as specified by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, and is a commercial district. It is part of the Central Region, and Singapore's central business district, the Central Area.
During the National Day Rally Speech 2005, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that he would create more landmark buildings to create more fun in the district, partly to keep up with vibrant cities around the region.
Orchard Road underwent a $40 million revamp in 2009, with the addition of new street lamps, planter boxes, urban green rooms, street tiling, and flower totem poles.

About the Pudú
The pudús (Pudu), considered to be the world's smallest deer, are native to South America. There are two species of pudú: the Northern pudú (Pudu mephistophiles) from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile[1], which stands about 12 to 14 inches (32 to 35 cm) at the shoulder; and the Southern or Chilean Pudú (Pudu puda) from southern Chile and southwestern Argentina[1], which averages between 14 to 16 inches (36 to 41 cm)[2]. Males sprout small (7-10cm) antlers which are shed annually.
Both species of pudú subsist on a diet of grass, leaves, and fallen fruit. In the wild, their life expectancy is between eight and ten years. The Southern species is endangered (IUCN status: vulnerable), primarily due to hunting and habitat loss from human agriculture and land development.
The pudú has several interesting characteristics that distinguish it from other deer. It is able to climb fallen trees, and it is sometimes forced to do so, both to escape predators and reach food. Because of its small size, it is often forced to balance on its hind legs to reach foliage. When threatened, it barks in alarm.
Because it lives in the dense forests of South America, it requires an efficient way to travel throughout the undergrowth. Pudú maintain a complex system of paths and trails that allow them to quickly get from one place to another. Such paths often lead to excellent places to rest, mate or find food.
Pudú mate between April and June, and gestation periods range from 200 to 220 days, giving birth to one or occasionally two young.
Its predators are typically eagles, owls, cougars, foxes, and small cats.

Walking through a dream
I see you
My light in darkness breathing hope of new life
Now I live through you and you through me
Enchanted
I pray in my heart that this dream never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your life shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
I live through your love
You teach me how to see
All that’s beautiful
My senses touch your world I never pictured
Now I give my hope to you
I surrender
I pray in my heart that this world never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life
I offer my love, for you
When my heart was never open
(and my spirit never free)
To the world that you have shown me
But my eyes could not division
All the colors of love and of life ever more
Evermore
(I see me through your eyes)
I see me through your eyes
(Living through life flying high)
Flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
And live through your love
And live through your life
I see you

Into little more than four years, from April 1861 to June 1865, were compressed the passions, the violence, the hopes, and the agonies of generations. More than 600,000 American soldiers of North and South died of battle or disease. This number represented 2% of the entire American population. Nearly 300,000 others were scarred by shot and shell but lived to return home at war's end, to begin their lives anew in a country now indissolubly united. The American Civil War, in the words of historian Shelby Foote, ``was the crossroads of our being. And it was a hell of a crossroads.'' Former Poet Laureate of the United States Robert Penn Warren once wrote:
The Civil War is, for the American imagination, the great single event of our history. Without too much wrenching, it may, in fact, be said to be American history. Before the Civil War we had no history in the deepest and most inward sense. There was, of course, the noble vision of the Founding Fathers articulated in the Declaration and the Constitution--the dream of freedom incarnated in a more perfect Union. But the Revolution did not create a nation except on paper; and too often in the following years the vision of the Founding Fathers, which men had suffered and died to validate, became merely a daydream of easy and automatic victories, a vulgar delusion of manifest destiny, a conviction of a people divinely chosen to live on milk and honey at small expense. The vision had not been finally submitted to the test of history. There was little awareness of the cost of having a history. The anguished scrutiny of the meaning of the vision in experience had not become a national reality. It became a reality, and we became a nation, only with the Civil War. The Civil War is our only ``felt'' history--history lived in the national imagination. This is not to say that the War is always, and by all men, felt in the same way. Quite the contrary. But this fact is an index to the very complexity, depth, and fundamental significance of the event. It is an overwhelming and vital image of human and national experience.
Vivid Sydney - Macquarie Visions
The Vivid Festival ran from May 27 to June 21.
Highlights inclided a light display on Macquarie Street and the return of the fire waters performance at Darling Harbour, a song summit in Sydney and a creative industries X Media Lab.
Last year's festival attracted more than 200,000 people to events at the Rocks and Circular Quay.
Macquarie Visions, a free public event celebrating in immersive light displays, the 200th anniversary and story of two visionary leaders, Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife Elizabeth.
Taking approximately one hour, the walk starts with a dazzling light spectacle at St Mary’s Cathedral and moves onto installations at Hyde Park Barracks Museum, The Mint, Parliament House, The State Library of New South Wales, The Royal Botanic Garden’s Palace Garden Gate and Sydney Conservatorium of Music, with special features including the spectacular Downer Macquarie Arch and the stunning illumination of the Opera House sails fulfilling the amazing Vivid Light experience.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who, in 2003, received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Currently, it is the most recently constructed World Heritage Site to be designated as such, sharing this distinction with such ancient landmarks as Stonehenge and the Giza Necropolis. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighboured by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The Opera House was formally completed in 1973, having cost $102 million.

The Pulaski County Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge, better known as the Big Dam Bridge, is the newest bridge to span the Arkansas River between Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas over the Murray Lock and Dam, and is open only to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The bridge is the longest pedestrian/bicycle bridge in North America that has never been used by cars or trucks. At 4,226 feet (1288 m.) in length, the Big Dam Bridge rises to 90 feet (27 m) over the surface of the Arkansas River and 30 feet (9.1 m) over the dam. The span over the river is 3,463 feet (1055 m.), with the ramps on either side of the river accounting for the rest of the length.
Everybody from Arkansas has taken photos of this place, so i figured I might as well do it too.

Broad Pool lies in a shallow basin on the limestone plateau beneath Cefn Bryn. It is one of the most conspicuous and best-known features of central Gower. The pool is known to have been in existence in 1645. Its origin appears to have been natural, although there is evidence that the pool was modified by scouring (removal of sediment and vegetation) from the late Eighteenth century.
The Pool contains a rich assemblage of aquatic plants, including Lesser Marshwort and Alternate Water-milfoil, both rare in South Wales. Fringed Water lily is present and has dominated the aquatic vegetation in the past. This attractive and uncommon plant is only native in a small area of southeast England and was introduced to Broad Pool in around 1952.
The Pool is visited by a wide range of waterfowl and wetland birds, including Grey Heron, Little Grebe, with passage migrants such as Ruff and Spotted Redshank. It is locally important breeding site for amphibians and supports a rich aquatic invertebrate fauna, including fourteen species of dragonflies and damselflies.
The adjacent area of Bog and moor is dominated by heath plants such as Cross-leaved Heath and Heather with Purple Moor-grass, Rushes, Bog Myrtle and Round-leaved Sundew in the wetter areas. The heathland and area around Broad Pool is also of ornithological importance with nesting Snipe and Lapwing in summer and Hen Harrier, Merlin and Short-eared Owl regularly recorded in winter months.

Jermaine Riley might not be a household name just yet but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Hello Earth is Jermaine's latest release following his previous records; Goodbye Krypton (which was his debut record) and Nine Ten Eleven - The Refixes (which was composed of remakes). Both of which along with a couple of his singles are all available for free download, just like this latest one.
Mixing soulful R&B with a cool hip hop dance rhythm, Hello Earth makes for a great club album or something to hold on to if you simply need some smoothing tracks for evening company.
Former member of Brit pop and R&B group, FMD, Jermaine Riley is slowly but surely carving a name for himself in the scene as a solo artist. Showcasing his love for one of the most well-known superheroes the world over, Superman; Riley packs Hello Earth with 11 cuts that range from R&B mellow mixes to upbeat dance cuts.
Paying homage to the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster; the album chronicles Superman's transition from leaving Krypton and moving to Earth. I guess, you can say it's a concept album of sorts. The songs are both catchy and easy to listen to. You'll find traces of Ne-Yo, Usher and Chris Brown as you listen.
Track like Smallville beautifully features Jermaine's vocal range. It's a sweet song that you can pop onto your player and enjoy without much fuss. A few must-listen cuts include Wonder Woman ft. Lioness; Peaceful Day ft. Cherri V and of course, title track, Hello Earth.
Jermaine Riley is an artist that you shouldn't miss out on especially if you love R&B. Unlike his previous releases which featured covers or 90s samples, Hello Earth is all about the artist. It comes with original cuts and a nice (not to mention) fresh take on the concept album. Really enjoyable piece that you should be downloading right now.
REAL BASILICA DE ATOCHA
www.madridhistorico.com/seccion3_descubremadrid/nivel2_ru...
Dirección: Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, 3, c/v Paseo de la Reina Cristina, c/v Calle de Julián Gayarre, 1.
Está situada sobre el antiguo convento de dominicos de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, más conocido como el de Nuestra Señora de Atocha, debido a que en su interior se veneraba dicha advocación de la Virgen.
El convento fue fundado en 1523 por Fray García de Loaysa (inquisidor general) y Fray Juan Hurtado de Mendoza (confesor de Carlos V) en virtud de un breve de Adrián VI. Se instaló sobre una antigua ermita donde ya se daba culto a la Virgen de Atocha.
En 1836, con la desamortización de Mendizábal, el edificio pasó a ser propiedad del Patrimonio Real, siendo destinado el convento a Cuartel de Inválidos y su iglesia, a parroquia castrense. La iglesia, que durante un tiempo albergó también a la parroquia de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, fue transformada en Basílica en 1863 por el Papa Pío IX. En 1924, Alfonso XIII cedió la propiedad de nuevo a la orden de los Dominicos, y actualmente siguen regentándola junto con un colegio.
En cuanto al edificio, a lo largo de su historia ha sufrido numerosos derribos y sucesivas construcciones, por lo que en la actualidad nada queda del primitivo templo. El 14 de agosto de 1652 se quemó la iglesia; en 1726 se desplomó la capilla mayor, y en 1809 los franceses destinaron el edificio a cuartel y quedó arruinado tras la guerra de la independencia, por lo que en época de Fernando VII fue reedificado casi por completo.
A finales del siglo XIX, la Basílica volvía a estar muy deteriorada, por lo que en 1890 se convocó un concurso público para su reconstrucción. El proyecto ganador fue realizado por el arquitecto Fernando Arbós y Tremanti, con una propuesta de basílica neobizantina con campanile exento y Panteón de Hombres Ilustres.
Las obras comenzaron en 1891, pero diez años después y debido a la falta de recursos económicos se suspendió la construcción, continuando paralizada hasta que en 1924 el conjunto fue cedido a los dominicos, quienes prosiguieron las obras sin seguir el proyecto original de Arbós.
En 1936, durante la guerra civil, el edificio fue nuevamente arrasado y no fue hasta 1946 cuando la Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas llevó a cabo su reconstrucción, resultando cinco años después un edificio de trazas neobarrocas.

One of the sweetest sites I have seen! I was in the Louvre museum and every one was so freaking busy capturing almost everything that came in their frame!
Enjoy seeing it Large On Black screen
I saw this couple and it was like a "Lost in Translation" kind of a feeling. For one moment, life paused and I felt like capturing this instant! I like the romance that is going around! Isn't it cute?
This picture is a part of my collection called the I Love You set. I had no intentions to make a dedicated set for some thing like that but eventually, a group of romantic photos just kept of bundling in my account. This group of photos depict expressions related to the feeling of...

Ich kenne den Sinn dieser Installation nicht, aber es ist ein Blickfang.
mhobl hat etwas dazu gefunden:
Der stolze Besitzer würde das denkmalgeschützte Ensemble gerne zu einem fairen Preis veräußern, allein, es fehlt an solventen Interessenten, die für das altersschwache Trio eine neue Nutzungsherausforderung bereithalten. Möglicherweise führt die Berühmtheit, die Marc Köschinger mit seiner Installation "Schmetterlingsschwarm" dem Häuserensemble an der Pfahlstraße nun national verschaffen dürfte, aber doch noch zur Rettung.
...
Gerade wenn es den Passanten und Betrachtern am besten gefällt, dieses Street-Art-Meisterwerk, beschleicht sie vielleicht auch ein etwas mulmiges Gefühl – so wünscht sich Köschinger jedenfalls. Diese stille Invasion scheint sich ja nicht alleine am Haus Pfahlstraße 7 zu delektieren, längst ist sie auch über einen ziemlich ausgebeinten Mexiko-Käfer hergefallen, den Köschinger nach Eichstätt transportieren ließ, um abzusichern, dass das Schmetterlings-Haus nicht immer wieder mit parkenden, ganz und gar "vitalen" Autos zugestellt wird und auch, um das Kunstwerk vom Haus weg in die Straße und in die ganze Stadt hineinzutragen und hineinwirken zu lassen.

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.

Avión de patente francesa diseñado y fabricado por los hermanos René y Gaston Caudron en mayo de 1914. Es un sesquiplano, biplaza, con hélice tractora y barquilla central en la que iban los dos tripulantes y el motor. Al empezar la I Guerra Mundial, los hermanos Caudron cedieron la patente por patriotismo, hasta marzo de 1917, fecha en la que, por el gran progreso de la aviación dec ombate, les hacía presa fácil de las aviaciones alemana y austro-húngara, por lo que pasaron a retaguardia para enseñanza.
En junio de 1919, España adquirió 18 aviones de este tipo para las escuelas de Getafe, Sevilla y Los Alcazares, para la promoción de 100 pilotos de febrero de 1920, con la que el General Echagüe quería reforzar el poder aereo en la Guerra de Marruecos. Estuvieron en servicio hasta 1924, fecha en la que fueron sustituidos por los Avro 504K.

Tractor biplane built in France since 1915, based on pre-war design, the Caudron-II. It was used as reconaissance airplane and later for instructional purposes. In Spain, it was acquired in 1919 being in use at the Getafe-based Air School, where it became very handy when General Echagüe raised the number of the pilot Course slots to one hundred. The engine was a 80 cv Le Rhône. The replica on display was adquired thought an exchange with the French aeronautical association "L" Amicale J.B. SALIS.

I conveniently had a towel in the floor that I used to clean it up. WHOOPS!

Ever since I was young, I've had a very special bond with my Grandpa Al. We decided when I was in my early teens that we were soul mates. Not in the way you traditionally understand that term, but in a way that we both understood. We've always been able to tap into each other's spirits in a way nobody else can. In many ways, I am just like my grandpa. I love to tell stories, and often times I run off on tangents that take longer than the original story itself ever would have taken to tell. I don't like people to rush me to my point. I'm proud. I'm passionate. I wear my heart on my sleeve. And it doesn't take much to make me tear up and get emotional. These are all traits I believe I've inherited from my grandpa.
Every year for probably the last twenty years, my grandpa writes me a special note for my birthday. He always includes some bits of wisdom. Perhaps a poem he wrote, perhaps the words of another poet. But he never ceases to pass along some idea to me that he believes (and rightly so) will help to shape me into a stronger, warmer, better woman. And every year I've tucked those notes away for safe keeping. I pull them out occasionally, and invariably wind up tearing up as I read them. But there are a few quotes that have stuck with me so firmly that I need not pull out the letters to be reminded of their sentiment. The title to this photo is an excerpt from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that my grandpa included in a letter to me during my junior year of college. It pops into my head at the most obscure times and fills me with warmth, love and comfort.
I can't think of anyone besides my parents who has influenced me in the way that my grandpa has. I hope that I have become the woman he always believed I would be. My gut tells me that I still have a ways to go. I'm sure my grandpa will weigh in on this at our 4th of July barbeque this year.
One Ship Sails East
One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
'Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum on the left bank of the Seine. It is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, an impressive Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900. By 1939 the station's short platforms had become unsuitable for the longer trains that had come to be used for mainline services as French railways became electrified. After 1939 it was used for suburban services. Plans for demolition were cancelled and the suggestion to turn the station into a museum came from the Directorate of the Museums of France.
The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. It is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces (the largest in the world) by such painters such as Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin and Van Gogh. Many of these works were held at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986. The collection of art is deservedly world renowned, but I thought the architectural conversion of a railroad station into a museum was equally magnificent.

grumpy old keith!
wins points for his version of "time is tight" and the "godfather" theme. the album was recorded in edgbaston - and is signed on the back by the man and his band.
"Keith Lloyd was a Birmingham based keyboard player who is known to have accompanied many top stars of the day as they made their way through the clubs of the West Midlands. The likes of Bob Monkhouse, Frankie Howard and Les Dawson all used Keith as musical director to their stage shows at some point during the late 1960s and early 1970s and Keith maintained a residency on the Woman Today BBC TV programme.
Unfortunately, apart from the information contained on the sleeve notes to his "This is My Life" album, little else is known about Keith Lloyd and his band, which featured Geoff Cox on drums, Barry Peacock on Bass and Mick Large on guitar. The album was recorded at Zella Studios in Edgbaston in 1974, and released on the label of the same name. This was owned and run throughout the 1960s and 1970s by Johnny Haynes, but alas is no more - Johnny having sold the studio to soft rock behemoths Magnum in the 1980s. During this time local Asian musicians were regular customers at Zella studios, and perhaps hundreds of traditional Asian recordings were produced there.
An early incarnation of Black Sabbath produced a 45 on Zella Records and a large number of aspiring beat combos and hard rock bands of the period are known to have made use of Zella Studios.
