Das Rathaus in Amberg beeindruckt besonders durch seine gotischen Giebel und die Renaissancebalustraden. Eine erste Nennung des Gebäudes stammt aus dem Jahre 1348. Im Inneren des Rathauses sind der große und der kleine Ratssaal mit den Holztäfelungen sehenswert.
Vor dem Rathaus der Hochzeitsbrunnen.

Had a big day out on the town today! Aside from being all by myself and wishing someone was there with me, I had a great day! I went to the National Gallery of Scotland, walked around Princes Street Gardens (which you can see in this photo) went to a few shops on Princes Street (didn't actually buy anything) and hid under a tree for a half an hour to duck out of the rain. It was lovely. However, now I've got a splitting headache and need to go to bed. Boo.
But it must be said: I love this city!

Inclued graph for TGIFramework (Tagged) displaying a hello world template after the second load (the first load fills APC user cache).
Note that inclued looks a little funnier than normal because
1) Inclued has trouble fitting prepend scripts into hierarchy. For some reason it thinks the page page is config.php which is completely bypassed on the second load (the actual page is hello.php).
2) Inclued loses the actual parent when dynamically included stuff is __autoloaded()
3) This isn't exactly Tagged.
Diferences I’ve noticed
1) Tagged doesn't use an auto prepend script (it requires manual prepending),
2) Tagged includes the session_start code on every page that this doesn't
3) Tagged includes diagnostics that this doesn't (yet)
4) Tagged includes UDP based page and event logging that this doesn't
5) An event gets thrown on page creation that will trigger the output caching listeners (not yet ported).
All are mostly related to backward compatibility or portability issues.
Still even with the session_start making a remote call to memcache on every request, I still noticed that siegeing Tagged's hello world outperforms CodeIgniter (one of the faster frameworks out there). Why?
1) The load-on-demand design is optimized for this task (the less it does, the less framework is needed)
2) Tagged is designed around portability but not independence, certain optimizations and features are assumed to exist and the codebase takes advantage of them
3) Tagged engineers all know PHP, so a larger templating abstraction is unnecessary (we're using Savant3, probably don't even need that).
4) Performance is a primary consideration for Tagged since the site activity is so busy (the API layer alone needs to handle 5000 transactions a second). This minimal abstraction is most performant for minimal code via iteration.
5) Output caching is unnecessary for dynamically generated static content. In that event, things are created into the web hierarchy and headers are sent to allow edge caching of this content. (This is not tested with that assumption, but the point is a lot of extra code doesn't need to get written in a lot of places because operational design solve that.)
6) To call this a framework is generous. :-)
In any case, compare with other frameworks (note not all these are graphs of hello world, some seem to be graphs of the default page or a typical installation…weird). The default graph for comparison.
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then continues in the background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold

Rescato estas fotos porque ya no sé cuando volveré a tener tiempo para probar a hacerlas de nuevo y como lo que reflejan me gusta tanto, prefiero pasar por encima de calidades técnicas y perfeccionismos varios.
El lugar resulta curioso: es el casino del pueblo en el que vivo desde que nací. No es un casino de los de mesas de tapete verde y señores adinerados, no. Es una asociación cultural, por llamarlo de alguna forma. No sé los años que tendrá, pero seguro que pasa de un siglo, por la zona en la que se encuentra y por la construcción en sí. Es un amplio local -puede que, de lejos, el bar más grande de la población- en el que sólo se reúnen hombres a jugar la partida de cartas o la de dominó. Las únicas mujeres que se ven son las dos trabajadoras que gestionan la cafetería, integrada en el enorme salón en el que hay una mesa de billar, un rincón dedicado a la lectura de la prensa y el resto, a mesas para juegos varios.
El acceso a los que no están asociados es libre, pero, por ejemplo, los periódicos están reservados y los partidos de fútbol retransmitidos por la televisión, también.
Da a dos calles y tiene enormes ventanales. La única planta de la construcción se levanta un poco del nivel de la calle por lo que los habituales del casino están en un escaparate permanente. De ahí que a mí la situación del rincón de lectura me resulte tan atrayente: la misma gente, día tras día, leyendo el periódico a diferentes horas. Casi todos mayores; los más, bastante mayores. Una rutina que forma parte de mi vida, sobre todo, desde que tengo a Zas y he de salir a diario a pasearlo.
El local es la sede del Círculo Instructivo Musical, esto es, la Banda de Música municipal y desde el salón principal se puede acceder a un frontón de pilota valenciana, en el que se celebra, de cuando en cuando, alguna competición. Hace muchos años -y ahora también, pero mucho menos- era un lugar reservado sólo para hombres, en los que se apostaba de manera habitual. La imagen más representativa de esta "forma de ser" que se extinguirá por el paso del tiempo, cuando desaparezca esta generación de mayores, es la del señor repeinado, con bigote y puro en la mano, endomingado, con presencia de hombre satisfecho.
La dificultad que entrañaban las fotos era hacerlas sin que ellos me vieran, por lo que tuve que utilizar el zoom desde la acera de enfrente y aprovechar, en dos de ellas, la caida de la noche, porque salvo la primera que pude hacerla desde enfrente de la fachada, a unos diez metros de distancia y con la luz a favor, los reflejos de los cristales, en las otras tomas, se comían la escena. De ahí que tengan ruido y no estén bien enfocadas... esconderse detrás de un coche no es una buena manera de atinar a la hora de hacer una fotografía.

Et oui ma pensée du jour :
L'amour est comme une balance, à chacun d'apporter chaque jour ce petit quelque chose qui fera que cette balance restera équilibrée et tiendra le choc, face aux épreuves, face aux doutes...face aux peurs, aux interrogations...face à la routine qui s'installe...face aux chemins qui se séparent et puis se croisent , se font et se défont...
A chacun de regarder devant, et à côté de lui, de voir ce qu'il a, de voir son acqui, de regarder aussi ailleur mais de ne pas oublier ce qu'il a et et ne pas regarder ce qu'il n'a pas...j'avais oublié cette phrase qui pourtant fait parti de ma vie et de mes valeurs...le chemin a été long mais je l'ai retrouvé...j'ai retrouvé mon équilibre...
Penser à soi oui, mais ne pas oublier l'autre...apporter chaque jour sa petite pierre pour construire cet équilibre...
Trouver le juste équilibre pour soi d'abord et pour l'autre ensuite...et si un jour la balance se détraque, se dire qu'elle se reconstruira avec la meme personne ou une autre...mais...l'équilibre parfait n'existe pas...(enfin c'est mon avis hein :-))
Cette pensée du jour est pour tous ceux que j'aime qu'elle vous apporte ce qu'elle doit vous apporter...merci à vous de faire parti de ma balance...et de mon équilibre...

And yes my day thought:
The love is as a balance, in each to bring every day this young something which will make that this balance will remain well-balanced and will hold the shock, in front of tests(events), in front of doubts in front of fears, of the questioning in front of the routine which settles down in front of roads which part and then cross themselves, are made and come undone(crumple)...
In each to look in front of, and next to him, to see what he(it) has, to see his(its) acqui, watch also anywhere but not to forget what he(it) has and and not to look at what he(it) does not have I had forgotten this sentence which nevertheless makes left my life and my values the road was long but I found him(it) I found my balance...
Think of one yes, but not forget the other one, bring every day its small stone to build this balance...
Find the just balance for one at first and for the other one then and if one day the balance breaks down, to say to himself that it will reconstruct with the same nobody or the other one but the perfect balance does not exist (finally it is my opinion(notice) eh:-))
This day thought is for all those that I love that it brings you that she has to bring you thanks to you to make party of my balance and my balance...

I had the honour of driving this beauty through the streets of Blyth Ontario, as part of the FFAO's (Fire Fighters Association of Ontario) annual convention.
This is a 1949 Mack, purchased by the City of Milwaukee and began its service on February 28, 1949. This truck answered thousands of fire calls and was taken out of service in September 1997, and used at a driving school until 1986. From 1986 to 1996 the truck rested in a private museum.
Today, Milwaukee Engine 25 rests in another private museum in southwestern Ontario.

Der Blaue Pfau (Pavo cristatus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Fasanenartigen (Phasianidae). Er gehört somit zur Ordnung der Hühnervögel, wobei der Blaue Pfau neben dem Fasan und dem Haushuhn der bekannteste Vertreter dieser Vogelgruppe ist.
Aufgrund ihres auffälligen Aussehens gelten vor allem die Männchen als die ältesten Ziervögel der Menschen. Bereits in den Sagen der griechischen Antike wurden sie erwähnt. Als standorttreue Vögel werden die ursprünglich in Indien und Sri Lanka beheimateten Tiere heute weltweit auch als Haustiere gehalten.
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced into many parts of the world and feral populations exist in many introduced regions. The peacock is the national bird of India and is the largest Asian galliform.

When you're wandering among the street of Georgetown you can't miss all the Chinese doors. You can find them in all the color you want, grey, red, green, blue, yellow...
The two frames are containing the names of some gods or ancestors in order to protect the house. Sometimes you can also find a painting representing the character instead of its name. These gods/ancestors are call God Doors. The door gods usually come in pairs, facing each other; it is considered bad luck to place the figures back-to-back. There are several different forms of door gods.
From the wikipedia:
"The custom dates back to the Tang Dynasty, whose founder Emperor Tang Taizong (599 - May 26, 649) honoured two of his most loyal generals – Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde – by having their painted portraits hung on his front door. Ordinary families soon adopted the imperial custom, putting woodblock prints of the ever-vigilant generals on their front gates in the hope of attracting good luck and fending off evil spirits. The Door God business soon spread throughout China, adding other folklore heroes and mythological figures to the repertoire."

Der Max-Josefs-Platz – früher der Innere Markt und Schranne – wurde 1984 zur Fußgängerzone. Der historische Marktplatz ist umgeben von Bürgerhäusern im typischen Inn-Salzach-Stil (hochgezogene, horizontal abgeschlossene Fassaden; Arkadengänge; Erker). Die Häuser entstanden nach dem großen Brand von 1641. Im Kern stammen sie teilweise aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Vormals schmale Holzhäuser wurden zu stattlichen Patrizierhäusern zusammengefasst. Das Wirtshausschild am Haus Stockhammer zeigt einen Schiffszug. Das Weinhaus Fortner „Zum Santa“ wurde 1642 gotisch umgestaltet und 1745 mit einer Frührokoko-Stuckatur versehen. In der Weinstube ist eine gotisches Gewölbe enthalten. Das Haus Nr. 22 war von 1641 bis 1878 das Rathaus von Rosenheim.

The Citadel is sometimes referred to as Mohamed Ali Citadel (Arabic: قلعة محمد علي Qalaʿat Muḥammad ʿAlī), because it contains the Mosque of Mohamed Ali (or Muhammad Ali Pasha), which was built between 1828 and 1848, perched on the summit of the citadel. [4] This Ottoman mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816. However, it also represents Muhammad Ali's efforts to erase symbols of the Mamluk dynasty that he replaced. When Ottoman ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha took control from the Mamluks in 1805 he altered many of the additions to the Citadel that reflected Cairo's previous leaders. One obvious change that Muhammad Ali enacted pertained to the uses of the Citadel's northern and southern enclosures. During the Mamluk period the southern enclosure was the residential area, but Muhammad Ali claimed the northern enclosure as the royal residence when he took power. He then opened the southern enclosure to the public and effectively established his position as the new leader. [5].

LuminEssent Natural Aromatherapy Soy Melts are handmade paraffin-free soy wax chips scented with pure essential oils. Otherwise referred to as wax melts, wax tarts, scent chips, candle melts, candle tarts, or wax potpourri, among many other creative names, LuminEssent Natural Aromatherapy Soy Melts are a new introduction to the home fragrance market.
Unlike most melts or tarts made from paraffin wax and synthetic fragrances, soy wax melts made with your choice of over 30 pure Essential Oils and 13 Essential Oil Synergies deliver aromatherapy benefits while freshening the air, without degrading the surrounding air quality. Available in over 70 colors or dye-free.
Unlike paraffin wax, soy wax can safely be recycled. Instead of disposing of the wax after the scent has dissipated, carefully pour the molten wax back into the tin (if melted in a simmer pot or tart burner) and place the wick provided in the middle to create your own recycled wax candle.
Your recycled wax candle can be re-scented by adding your own essential oils. For best results, do not add more than 6 ml or about 225 drops in a full 6 oz tin of wax.

While taking this photo a girl next to me was also taking some shots at the same location, to my envy she was using a silver Nikon FM2n analog SLR camera. To my surprise, when she put down her camera and I saw her, it was Mandy, a good friend from flickr whom I've never met in person before, what a pleasant surprise it was. Just like Liyin DIP put it 'What a small world!'
In order to symbolize Mandy in the vast greens of Cameron Highlands tropical rainforest, I've uploaded this "flower wrapped around by the green leaves".

I had a series of about 8 shots of this Itsukushima Shrine scene and all I had to do was layer the 0 EV exposure onto the +2 EV exposure and paint the bright areas through on the left side of the photograph and I would have had a quick shot that was natural and pleasing to my senses… No, I had to go and create an HDR version on top of the two other exposures, create a couple of other layers for different colors, LucisArt, and a few filters so I could selectively add them to each area. I seriously spent 2 hours trying to figure out were I was going with this and completely hated it, I was about to just trash it when I found the perfect Nik filter that suddenly created a look that I was happy with.
Depuis le 3 Octobre, plus de 200 familles dorment dans la rue de la Banque pour protester contre l'absence de logements décents. Français ou immigrés en situation régulière, tous travaillent mais vivent dans des conditions déplorables: le plus souvent à l'hôtel, ou dans des appartements minuscules, parfois menacés d'expulsion.
Malgré la pluie, les mal logés ont l'interdiction d'installer des tentes sur les trottoirs (elles ont de toute façon été confisquées lors des précédentes évacuations par les forces de l'ordre). Les cartons et les bâches sont plus ou moins tolérés, selon les jours, notamment sur le trottoir du Ministère de la Crise du Logement (mais pas en face !), mais peuvent très bien résulter en une intervention policière.
Après les pluies particulièrement violentes des derniers jours début Novembre, accompagnées de forts coups de vent, des bâches ont été accrochées à la façade pour créer une sorte d'auvent, un abri de fortune qui a déjà été démonté samedi 10 novembre par les forces de l'ordre et remonté dimanche par les militants. Depuis le départ des policiers le 13, des bâches sont installées des 2 côtés de la rue de la Banque (contre le Ministère de la Crise du Logement et contre l'AFP en face).
Merci de lire les explications en début d'album / Please read the explanations at the beginning of the set
The night herons are medium-sized herons in the genera Nycticorax, Nyctanassa and Gorsachius. The genus name Nycticorax derives from the Greek for “night raven” and refers to the largely nocturnal feeding habits of this group of birds, and the croaking crow-like call of the best known species, the Black-crowned Night Heron.
Adults are short-necked, short-legged and stout herons with a primarily brown or grey plumage, and, in most, a black crown. Young birds are brown, flecked with white. At least some of the extinct Mascarenes taxa appear to have retained this juvenile plumage in adult birds.
Night herons nest alone or in colonies on platforms of sticks in a group of trees, or on the ground in protected locations such as islands or reedbeds. 3-8 eggs are laid.
Night herons stand still at the water's edge, and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, and small mammals. During the day they rest in trees or bushes. There are seven extant species.
I photographed this beautiful bird at the Santa Barbara Zoo. I should add that it is not a part of the zoo collection but rather a local shore bird that likes to hang out at the round picnic tables near the zoo entrance along with several large ravens. I assume this is because there are some humans that feed them or they are scavenging what's been left as garbage. It is not a good idea to feed these beautiful birds as they become dependent and lazy. Neither of these species appear to be afraid of humans. This bird was sitting no more than five feet away from me as I took numerous photographs and the bird never flinched or moved. See the images below for more of this beautiful bird (including a strip collage of the head in profile). A companion Night Heron did fly into one of the open exhibition areas.

Madrid (Spain).
ENGLISH
Lavapiés is a barrio of the city of Madrid, centred on Plaza de Lavapiés.
It was the Jewish quarter of the city until the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, the church of San Lorenzo being built on the former site of the synagogue. The name literally means "wash feet", and seems to refer to the ritual washing of one's feet before entering the temple, possibly in the fountain in Plaza de Lavapiés.
It has long been a neglected area of the city. An inscription on a fountain in Plaza de Cabestreros is the only monument to the Spanish Republic in Madrid, such mentions having been systematically removed elsewhere during the Franco regime. The ruins of Escuelas Pías, a religious school, were left to stand for many years after it was burned down by supporters of the Popular Front in 1936. Only in 2002 the ruins were converted into a university library.
In the late 1980s and 1990s, Lavapiés had acquired a reputation as a "vertical slum", with its tenement blocks either empty or occupied by older people paying low rents. As a result, it became the most important location for okupación, or squatting, in Madrid.
More recently, it has become the focal point for immigrant populations, particularly Chinese, Arabs and people from the Indian subcontinent. It has been estimated that around 50% of the population is of foreign origin.

CASTELLANO
Lavapiés es el nombre de una plaza del centro de Madrid (España). Ha dado nombre también a una calle, un barrio y una estación de metro.
En su origen Lavapiés fue la judería o barrio judío de la ciudad. La actual Iglesia de San Lorenzo ocupa el solar que antaño ocupaba la sinagoga, que se comunicaba con la plaza de Lavapiés a través de la calle que hoy se llama de la Fe, llamada entonces calle de la Sinagoga. A partir de 1391 se reconstruyó la aljama y, por orden de los Reyes Católicos, fue rodeada de una muralla que cerraba sus puertas al anochecer. El motivo, según los historiadores, era proteger a sus habitantes más que aislarlos, pues la relación entre la judería y el concejo era por entonces excelente.
Muchas familias judías vivieron en el barrio de Lavapiés hasta los días de la expulsión, en 1492. Sólo algunos judíos madrileños notables (especialmente los médicos) estaban autorizados a vivir fuera de Lavapiés, para que pudiesen auxiliar a sus enfermos durante la noche. La expulsión decretada por los Reyes Católicos dejó a Lavapiés y a Madrid sin judíos. Muchos años después, llegarían de nuevo algunos judíos de Lisboa, Egipto, Túnez y otros lugares de África.
Cerca de la calle del Salitre, en la ladera de Buena Vista, mirando al Santuario de Atocha, aparecieron vestigios de lo que pudo ser un cementerio hebreo (ya que no se encontraron en él objetos cristianos) previo a la expulsión de 1492.
Parece que el nombre de Lavapiés podría proceder de una fuente que había en la plaza, donde se hacía el lavado ritual de las extremidades inferiores antes de acudir al templo. En cualquier caso, sí es cierto que en la plaza hubo una importante fuente hasta finales del siglo XIX. Lavapiés es el nombre original del barrio: la denominación El Avapiés, antigua, es en realidad una ultracorrección de Lavapiés, nombre más antiguo que el anterior.
La denominación manolo y manola que se da a los castizos madrileños procede de Lavapiés, y se dice que tiene su origen en la profusión del nombre Manuel, con el que se bautizaron muchos judíos para escapar a la expulsión en 1492. Los manolos rivalizaban con los chulapos y chulapas, procedentes éstos del barrio de Malasaña. Hoy en día se suelen emplear ambos términos indistintamente para referirse a la gente vestida con el atuendo tradicional madrileño.
A finales de los años 1980 Lavapiés era un barrio habitado exclusivamente por gente mayor, típicamente en casas viejas y de pequeñas dimensiones construidas alrededor de un patio (lo que se llama corrala, aunque su denominación correcta es la de casa de corredor). Por eso se ha hablado de chabolismo vertical. La abundancia de casas abandonadas y de viviendas de renta baja atrajo en los años 80 y 90 a multitud de jóvenes con pocos recursos, entre ellos numerosos okupas: Lavapiés ha sido, probablemente, la zona de Madrid con mayor densidad de casas ocupadas, y en ella tuvieron lugar las primeras experiencias de ocupación de la capital. Hoy en día la okupación casi ha desaparecido, pero sigue siendo el barrio con mayor cantidad de asociaciones y movimiento vecinal de Madrid.
En una segunda oleada, y por las mismas razones, acudieron al barrio centenares de inmigrantes. Se calcula que alrededor del 50% de la población del barrio es de origen no español. De hecho, eventos como el año nuevo chino o el ramadán tienen casi más resonancia en Lavapiés que, por ejemplo, la navidad.

serie amores que matan nunca mueren
Lulunta Maipú Mendoza Argentina
Tibu = Gusty = Seba @
En soled busco mi libertad!!!
Yo no quiero un amor civilizado, con recibos y escena del sofá; yo no quiero que viajes al pasado y vuelvas del mercado con ganas de llorar. Yo no quiero vecínas con pucheros; yo no quiero sembrar ni compartir; yo no quiero catorce de febrero ni cumpleaños feliz. Yo no quiero cargar con tus maletas; yo no quiero que elijas mi champú; yo no quiero mudarme de planeta, cortarme la coleta, brindar a tu salud. Yo no quiero domingos por la tarde; yo no quiero columpio en el jardin; lo que yo quiero, corazón cobarde, es que mueras por mí. Y morirme contigo si te matas y matarme contigo si te mueres porque el amor cuando no muere mata porque amores que matan nunca mueren. Yo no quiero juntar para mañana, no me pidas llegar a fin de mes; yo no quiero comerme una manzana dos veces por semana sin ganas de comer. Yo no quiero calor de invernadero; yo no quiero besar tu cicatriz; yo no quiero Madrid con aguacero ni Rosario sin tí. No me esperes a las doce en el juzgado; no me digas "volvamos a empezar"; yo no quiero ni libre ni ocupado, ni carne ni pecado, ni orgullo ni piedad. Yo no quiero saber por qué lo hiciste; yo no quiero contigo ni sin ti; lo que yo quiero, muchacha de ojos tristes, es que mueras por mí. Y morirme contigo si te matas y matarme contigo si te mueres porque el amor cuando no muere mata porque amores que matan nunca mueren

St. John's Asylum was built in 1852 and closed in 1989, leaving the remaining walls home to over 130 years of history.
This place is a pretty famous site for urbex-ers, but as developers progress with their work to turn this huge site into housing, the floors have rotted away and the finer details are all disappearing.
Not long left until this all vanishes...

The Internet is here seen as the new mirror in which we search our own likeness and identity.
The central figure, at the computer, [a self-portrait] has been toned down following the comment below by dou_ble_you, to whom, as always, my thanks for his critique. It was also, subsequently, removed, and then replaced, on a smaller scale, as here seen.
This work grew out of several earlier ones (see: flickr.com/photos/walford/2695328110/ , and flickr.com/photos/walford/2690757479/ ), with the idea of a juxtaposition with elements from two different works by the English 18th c. painter, Joseph Wright of Derby, inspired by the comments of Lensk / Paolo Avalle [see flickr.com/photos/63587066@N00/ for Lensk / Paolo Avalle], as found below the second of the two earlier versions [see www.flickr.com/photos/walford/2695328110/in/photostream/ ]. I am most grateful to Lensk for pointing me in that direction, as had forgotten Wright's Alchemist, though am most familiar with his work.
This piece was only possible with the initial inspiration from Idea-Listic [Robert Marinkovic] 's diabolical self-portrait on his profile page, and a great deal of help from dou_ble_you, who transformed my original into something far more creative and imaginative, which, I, in turn, have re-appropriated back onto my two original computer display screens.
For the original work by Idea-Listic, that triggered this idea, see: www.flickr.com/people/53959560@N00/
And for dou_ble_you's version, made for me, see: flickr.com/photos/dou_ble_you/2694068334/

Well Kat had to run to Austin to take care of the grandbabies and kids down with the virus.....so I had some time to self and have been wanting to go to this location to shoot for a while. So happens that we had a storm coming in and was trying to get some lightning shots but they were pretty slow and the mosquitoes were bitting like you never seen. Southeastexas noted for there mosquitoes. My son stated to people where he lives that our mosquitoes are as big as chickens here....lol.....well tonight I had short pants and shirt on and I dont use mosquitoe spray so they won by 100 bites.....
To the far left if you enlarge that is part of the refineries in area. That particular one is Valera. To the center of the bridge is our small port. First lightning strike to catch on digital . btw...........NO PHOTOSHOP.............SOOC.....have great weekend
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.

As you may know, I love doing my own photo equipment like my trust worthy homemade Remote control.
This shot was taken while building another photographic rig that I'm hoping on using for several shots I have in my head for quite a while. When I started cutting the screw with my dremel power tool, I saw all the sparks flying out so I had to try and photograph it. 3 hours later this was the result.
You can see to the right the led light I used to illuminate the thread. This is the light I use daily when commuting in my bicycle. I used two perfume boxes to direct the light so it wouldn't illuminate the vise holding the thread. Directly in front of it you can see the vise with the thread in it's place. On the foreground is the dremel power tool I used for the job. On the background there is a black cloth for the background. Finally you can see the final result in the computer screen.
PS: Soon I will show you the finished rig and hopefully some nice shots.
