On a hot, humid Saturday morning in late June, I ventured into Atlanta to see the Henry Moore exhibition at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This facility has been undergoing a major renovation/upgrade with a magnificent new visitors center, and is now one of the best botanical gardens anywhere.
If you click on the set to the right and run the SLIDESHOW in Full Screen Mode, you can follow me on a tour around the garden.
Here are some quotes from the website and a link:
Moore in America at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is the largest outdoor exhibition of Henry Moore's sculpture ever presented in a single venue in the United States. The 20 colossal works are displayed throughout the Garden and among its gardens and plant collections, providing for an impressive interaction of nature and art such as Moore envisioned. The Henry Moore Foundation, which is dedicated to furthering the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Moore's work, co-curated the exhibition, which is underwritten by MetLife Foundation.
One of the finest botanical gardens in the world and the most treasured and beloved landscapes in Atlanta, the Garden offers alluring outdoor venues for such an exhibition. When Moore's grand sculptures are set in the intimate scale of the Garden's landscape, both are transformed."

Gorgeous summer holiday in Cornwall. Subtropical temperature and spotless blue sky creating a wonderful holiday mood but not so much for landscape photography. Bedruthan steps is a remarkable beach for its wild beauty despite having a flat sandy stretch. Most of the photo ops in this beach are oriented around the sea stacks and rock pools. I wanted to break out of that monotony and compose something different. Low angled evening sun creating beautiful reflections of the spectacular cliffs and frozen wave motion was the answer.
Shot taken with Canon 5D, 17-40 L lens, photo focal length-17mm, f/22,ISO-50. Used a B+W CPL. Used this CPL for the first time and as pointed out by two of my friends there is an uneven polarisation of the sky. Could not correct it in post processing!:(

Looks really regal when viewed large, on black, I believe. :)
Possibly the best known among the Asian leaf-eating monkey species is the Hanuman Langur (Semnopithecus entellus), found in a wide range of habitats in India, from edge of the deserts to rainforests and mountains (as high up as 4,000 meters). Because they are considered sacred in Northern India, they are found even near urban areas in in that part of the world.
With long and strong limbs, the Hanuman Langur runs fast on the ground on all fours, and climbs well and is exceedingly agile among trees, its long thin tail providing the necessary balance.
Their horizontal leaps average 3 to 5 meters, but can reach up to 13 meters. It is typically nervous and cautious when on the ground, and will flee to the trees at the slighest hint danger. They usually move on the ground only when trees are scarce. They forage during the morning and late afternoon. Each troop of langurs typically returns to the same tree every night to sleep. They sleep at the ends of branches, where large predators can reach them only with much difficulty. Sometimes, they sleep in caves.
In India, especially in the North, Hanuman langurs often travel in the company of holy men (sadhus). Many Hindus leave them unmolested and even permit them to freely plunder their grain shops. This, however, has made the langurs fearless. During food shortages, humans often retaliate. Like many other wildlife, the langur also faces a significant threat of habitat loss. There are an estimated 230,000 Hanuman langurs left in India.
We have had a very cold spring here in Korea. There has been no sign of any blossoms or flowers yet. I was thrilled yesterday when I found a cherry blossom tree in bloom, and several magnolia trees. They were located in a very sunny protected area. I had so much fun!

Anthurium (Schott, 1829), is a large neotropical genus of about 600- 800 (possibly 1,000) species, belonging to the arum family (Araceae). It is the largest and probably the most complex genus of this family. Many species are undoubtedly not described yet and new ones are being found every year.
They grow in the most diverse habitats, mostly in wet tropical mountain forest of Central America and South America, but some in semi-arid environments. Most species occur in Panama, Colombia and Ecuador.
Anthurium grows in many forms, mostly evergreen, bushy or climbing epiphytes with relatively few roots. They occur also as terrestrials or lithophytes. Some are only found in association with arboreal ant colonies or growing on rocks in midstream (such as A. amnicola).

Rare Crested Saguaro Cactus at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona.
INFORMATION ON THE SAGUARO CACTUS:
The Saguaro, pronounced "sah-wah-roh", (Carnegiea gigantea) is a large, tree-sized cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and California, United States and northern Mexico.
Saguaros are slow growing, taking up to 75 years to develop a side arm. The arms themselves are grown to increase the plants reproductive capacity (more apices equal more flowers and fruit). The growth rate of saguaros is strongly dependent on local precipitation patterns, and saguaros in drier western Arizona grow only half as fast as those in and around Tucson, Arizona. Some specimens may live for more than 150 years; the champion saguaro grows in Maricopa County, Arizona and is 13.8 m tall with a girth of 3.1 m. (It was injured as a result of the Cave Creek Complex fire in June 2005.) In addition to being slow growing, they are also slow to propagate. These two factors argue for the placement of the saguaro on the endangered species list, although they are not on any such list. Harming one in any manner (including cactus plugging) is illegal by state law in Arizona, and when houses or highways are built, special permits must be obtained to move or destroy any saguaro affected.
The ribs of the saguaro are used for construction and other purposes by aboriginal Americans of the region. A fine example can be seen in the roofing of the cloisters of the Mission San Xavier del Bac on the Tohono O'odham lands near Tucson, Arizona. The Seri people of northwestern Mexico used the plant, which they call mojépe, for a number of purposes.
The saguaro blossom is the state flower of Arizona.

Recently I have not photographed much. Don't know really why. I want to make pictures. I love it. But I don't know, the inspiration haven't been there. I look at pictures and say to myself "Woooow, that's awesome, I wanna do something like that!!" But than I realises that I don't have the right equipment or don't know a model that would look good in the picture or something..
Maybe I have too high expectations. I should just play around more.
Need to find some photo friends, and some girls that actually like to be in pictures. And just have fun.
But my camera has some serious auto-focus problems. hate it! Pentax K10D..
But today a guy called me and asked if I wanted to make pictures for a new book about the copper mine here in Falun. So I have something to do in the summer. And will be one step closer to a new camera. I am thinking about the Canon 7D. Actually I think i like Nikon more, but the 7D looks so good. And the video too!
I should make this 365 project that everyone else does. Not because I have too but because it would be fun. I DO enjoy photography. It's just picking up the camera that has been hard lately.
Anyways.
Stobist:
I made a mini-mini-diy-beauty dish of a candy box that I used for this picture, to the right of the camera. Another bare flash behind the model (me) to the left. Triggered with radio poppers.

View On Black / Highly Recommended! The bridge owes its name to a wooden "blue bridge" that was there from around 1600 but no longer exists and which was painted the characteristic blue of the Dutch flag. It kept the name after 1883 when it was replaced by the spans of a new bridge which is inspired by the architecture of several of the bridges over the Seine in Paris.
The stone bridge has three openings for ships and is richly decorated. The bases are formed like ships bows and on top columns with leaf-motifs, masks and finally the Imperial Crown of Austria. Also the lantern poles have shipping decorations and the lanterns themselves are again in the shape of crowns.

The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Metropolitan City of Naples (Città metropolitana di Napoli) is an Italian Metropolitan City in Campania region, established on January 1, 2015. Its capital city is Naples ; within the city there are 92 comune (municipalities). It was first created by the reform of local authorities (Law 142/1990) and established by the Law 56/2014, thus replacing the Province of Naples in 2015. Source: en.wikipedia.org
A visit to the Museo Etrusco on the Via Don Giovanni Minzoni in Volterra. Was a lot of Etruscan and Roman artifacts here. Also a back garden.
The Guarnacci museum is one of oldest public museums of Europe: it began in 1761 when the noble abbot Mario Guarnacci (Volterra 1701-1785) gave its enormous archaeological heritage, collected over years of research and purchases, to the "public of the city of Volterra".
The current disposition and location of materials demonstrate Maffei’s positivistic impact, with items separated by classes and the urns distinguished according to the theme of the bas-relief on the case. While respecting the historic memory of this arrangement, an attempt was made, in recent times, to associate it with another, more didactic, chronological tour inside the exhibition itself, able to conduct the visitor through the long history of the Etruscan Velathri.
The Guarnacci Etruscan Museum is located in via Don Minzoni in Volterra , and contains one of the most beautiful collections of Etruscan art.
In 1776 the canon of the cathedral of Volterra Pietro Franceschini found near the Etruscan necropolis of the Portone a hypogeum of considerable size dating back to the Hellenistic period, containing forty Etruscan urns, which in 1777 donated to the town of Volterra . This donation was the first nucleus of the Civic Museum which soon collected many other works found in the surroundings of Volterra and which until then had been kept in private collections of noblemen from Volterra.
Among the various donations, the most important and most important was that of Monsignor Mario Guarnacci ( 1701 - 1785 ), a wealthy priest who promoted numerous archaeological excavation campaigns, which on 15 September 1761 donated his entire collection to the newborn museum. He was named after the museum that in over two centuries of history has increased its heritage thanks to numerous excavation campaigns promoted by the Superintendency of Antiquities of Etruria.
The first seat of the museum was Palazzo Ruggeri, home of Guarnacci, later it was transferred first to some halls of the town hall and then from 1877 in the Desideri-Tangassi palace, the current headquarters.
The first Prefect and Librarian of the Guarnacci Museum is the Roman abbot Francesco Ballani , well-known librettist of his time, who was succeeded by Giuseppe Cailli in 1805 until his death in 1810 . Francesco Inghirami ( 1772 - 1846 ) occupied this position from 1810 until 1815 .
I didn't take much inside of the museum, only what took my interest at the time. Was mostly all the same kind of things from the Etruscan period.
On the floor in the middle of the building I didn't get more than these two sculptures. There was rooms with Roman tiles on the floors under raised walkways, and more sarcophagus!
L'Ombra della Sera - apparently somebody used to used this as a back scratcher until they realised how old it was!
The Shadow of the Evening
The bronze comes from the antiques market and was part of the collection at least since 1737 by Filippo Buonarroti in Florence. Since the work certainly comes from Volterra. Mario Guarnacci, the founder of the homonymous Museum where it is now preserved, acquired by exchange or purchase, around 1750.

ENGLISH
The Black Swan, Cygnus atratus is a large waterbird which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. The Black Swan was formerly placed into a monotypic genus, Chenopis.
‘Swan’ is the common gender term, but ‘cob’ for a male and ‘pen’ for a female are also used, as is ‘cygnet’ for the young. Collective nouns include a ‘bank’ (on the ground) and a ‘wedge’ (in flight). Black Swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands.
The Black Swan is common in the wetlands of south western and eastern Australia and adjacent coastal islands. In the south west the range ecompasses an area between North West Cape, Cape Leeuwin and Eucla; while in the east it covers are large region bounded by the Atherton Tableland, the Eyre Peninsula and Tasmania, with the Murray Darling Basin supporting very large populations of Black Swans.
The Black Swan is also very popular as an ornamental waterbird in Western Europe, especially Britain, and escapes are commonly reported. As yet the population in Britain is not considered to be self-sustaining and so the species is not afforded admission to the official British List, but the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust have recorded a maximum of nine breeding pairs in the UK in 2001, with an estimate of 43 feral birds in 2003/04 (though that is undoubtedly an under-estimate given the level of monitoring undertaken).
The black swan was a literary or artistic image, even before the discovery of Cygnus atratus. Cultural reference has been based on symbolic contrast and as a distinctive motif. The Black Swan's role in Australian heraldry and culture extends to the first founding of the colonies in the eighteenth century. It has often been equated with antipodean identity, the contrast to the white swan of the northern hemisphere indicating 'Australianess'. The black swan is featured on the flag, and is both the state and bird emblem, of Western Australia; it also appears in the Coat of Arms and other iconography of the state's institutions.
The reclaimed wetlands of the river Foix estuary have made this area into one of the main attractions of the town. The River Foix, which is dry during most of the year due to construction of the Foix Resservoir is another of the most emblematic places in Cubelles. At the Foix estuary, you can spend the day enjoying nature and birthwatching, or at one of the picnic areas. This zone is also intended for school visits, as it is a place where children can study the ecosystem of a Mediterranean river such as the Foix.
The estuary is separated from the sea by a sand barrier which has accumulated over time, due to sea currents and rainwater sediments, forming freshwater laguens behind the barrier. The natural area of the Foix Delta has a branch of land that sticks out into the sea. This was formed during the floods of 1994 and joins onto another branch, leaving an island in the middle. Tourists can visit the island by crossing a wooden footbridge.

CASTELLANO
El cisne negro, Cygnus atratus es endémico de Australia. Es común al este y oeste de este continente, no estando presente la parte árida central y del húmeda del norte. Es residente en Tasmania, criando en esta isla situada al sur de Australia.
No es migratoria pero se desplaza a grandes distancias, cientos de kilómetros, en busca de abundancia de alimento.
Introducido en Nueva Zelanda, donde se reprodujo de tal forma, que hubo que controlarlo. Actualmente existen unos 60.000 individuos.
Fue descubierto en 1697, y ha sido el favorito de los estanques ornamentales de Europa, y posteriormente de América. Pero no se ha asilvestrado en estos continentes.
Vive en lagos, incluyendo la costa marina y ocasionalmente en el mar lejos de tierra. Demuestra preferencia por los lagos pocos profundos, donde puede alcanzar la vegetación acuática del fondo, sumergiendo su cuello, aproximadamente de un metro de profundidad.
La recuperación de los espacios húmedos de la desembocadura del río Foix ha convertido la zona en una de las de mayor atractivo del municipio. El río Foix -que desde la construcción del pantano del Foix está la mayor parte del año seco- es otro de los elementos más emblemáticos de los cubellenses. En la desembocadura del Foix, además de poder pasar un día rodeado de la Naturaleza, se puede observar el comportamiento de las aves autóctonas de esta zona o disfrutar de las áreas de picnic. El espacio también está dirigido a las escuelas, que pueden visitar y estudiar el ecosistema de un río mediterráneo, como es el del Foix.
Su desembocadura está separada del mar por una barrera de arena acumulada por las corrientes marítimas y los depósitos pluviales, formando lagunas de agua dulce en su interior. El Espacio Natural del Delta del Foix, mantiene el brazo de salida al mar que se formó por las riadas de 1994, a la que se ha añadido un segundo brazo dejando una isla en el medio, conectada con la zona de entretenimiento a través de unas pasarelas de madera. Otra pasarela de madera sobre uno de los brazos del río, sirve de punto de observación del desarrollo natural de la desembocadura del Foix.

Nommé Moulin à vent des Hospitalières car le propriétaire original était les Hospitalières de Saint-Joseph qui grace a leur travail nous devons l'Hôtel Dieu de Montréal, Québec, Sorel et plusieurs autres Hôtels-Dieu et hôpitaux canadiens. Elles ont profondément marqué l'histoire de la santé au Canada et ont fondé des hôpitaux à travers l'Amérique du Nord. Le boulevard Saint-Joseph de Montréal est nommé en leur honneur. (Histoire des religieuses hospitalières de Saint-Joseph [archive])
Un des 18 derniers moulins a vent du Québec. Situé sur le bord du fleuve St-Laurent, au 535, ch. des Ancêtres, dans la municipalité de Grondines, dans la région de la Capitale-Nationale au Québec.
Construit en 1674 par Pierre Mercereau, en opération jusqu'en 1880. Maintenant la propriété de la Corporation des Amis du moulin de Grondines.
Le dernier proprétaire fut William Price qui l'acheta en 1895 et le revenda a Transport Canada en 1912.
On l'aménage ensuite comme station de signaux télégraphiques pour la marine.
Classé bien culturel en 1984 et est ouvert au public..
Entièrement restauré à l'occasion du tricentenaire. Les mécanismes et les ailes n'ont pas été reconstitués.

Coulée Verte, Saint-Lambert, Québec

- June 4, 2009 / Le 4 juin, 2009
- Ce sentier très court tout près de chez moi est un parc linéaire nommé Coulée Verte. D'un côté, il y a un petit parc et ensuite un petit terrain de golf. Au côté opposé, il y a un terrain pour des activités sportives et communautaires, ensuite des maisons privées dans des culs-de-sacs et puis une grande cour d'école en pelouse. Les citoyens de Saint-Lambert se débattent sans cesse avec la ville pour préserver ces espaces verts mais on les perd petit-à petit.
- This very short trail near my home is a linear park called Coulée Verte. To one side, there is a small park and then a small golf course. On the opposite side, there is land for sports and community activities, then some private homes on dead-end streets (cul-de-sac, the l is not pronounced) and a large grassed school yard. Saint-Lambert citizens are endlessly fighting the city to preserve these green spaces but we are slowly losing them.
You only have to see the reaction of the audience to see the value of street performers. I loved the looks of surprise, delight and disgust as this street performer squeezed his whole body through the head of a tennis racquet. I think he had just dislocated his right arm to get his shoulders to fit through.

I rarely make a "political" comment but this just makes me crazy. Yes, reform is needed but even more critical is the need for people to stand up and take responsibility for their lifestyle and health-style choices. If you smoke, stop. If you are overweight and out of shape, diet and exercise. If you want to have multiple partners, use commonsense. Don't drink and drive. Excessive drinking will destroy you. Don't do drugs. Fast food is not a section on the food pyramid. Stop looking for the miracle pill to fix all your problems! Most of our health related problems in this country are self-induced. Wake up people and be personally responsible! You don't require any kind of government legislation to get up off your butt and get your act together. No obstacle is so unsurmountable if you take it in small pieces.
President Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." I offer this variation: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for yourself!"
Noel Kempff Mercado National Park is a national park in the north-eastern portion of the Santa Cruz Department, Province of José Miguel de Velasco, Bolivia, on the border with Brazil.
The date of its foundation was on June 28, 1979. Its original name was "Parque Nacional Huanchaca", but was then changed to "Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado" in honor of the late pioneering biologist and Bolivian conservationist Prof. Noel Kempff Mercado, for his research and discoveries in the Park - and also in memory of his tragic death in the area; in 1988 Mercado was murdered here by drug traffickers after stumbling across a secret cocaine laboratory high on the Huanchaca plateau.
Noel Kempff Mercado National Park spans 15,234 km² (5,880 mi²) in the northeastern corner of the Bolivian department of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. One of the most biologically diverse areas in the world, Bolivia is known for its diversity in climate, fauna and flora. Weather in the general area is very hot and humid throughout the year, with abundant rainfall reaching roughly 1500 mm.

-----
Practically only accessible by chartered private small aeroplane, Noel Kempff Mercado remains one of the least accessible national parks in the world. It tooks more than two hours to get to the park from Santa Cruz by chartered light aircraft; the journey itself offers marvelous views over tropical dry forest all around.
The plane lands in a small village of La Florida, located at the Río Paraguá river. It's both charming and relaxed place with lovely and easy going atmosphere; here small children are bringing water from a river nearby for breakfast preparation.

29 october 2006
not so successful dog class yesterday.
still taking matea weekly to classes to help her overcome her fear issues...and to improve my handling skills when around other dogs.
because her issue with other dogs is based on fear (thank you dog parks!), my trainer is trying to convince me to not come down on matea for attempting to go for a dog, but instead to work on her focus on me (which i totally have unless a dominant dog comes along) and that if an incident DOES occur that i'm to work on 'recovery' more than anything. for instance, when matea wouldn't take shit from cheryl (the trainer)'s jack russell some weeks ago and went for the little tart, cheryl simply pulled matea off, held her for three seconds by the beard, and then - in a very happy voice - said: "okay, let's play!"
at the time, i didn't feel that was enough. matea is a black and white dog. she NEEDS extreme positive AND negative for her to understand definitions and boundaries. i learned this early on in my training with her, when eight months of positive-only training got me nothing but a dog requiring constant food-lures...but when outdoors or otherwise distracted, let me tell you, a bleeding strip of sirloin ain't gonna capture her attention.
she's a wirehaired pointer. i talk to other GWP owners on a group, and i hear over and over again that these are not typical dogs, that they aren't the kind of dog most trainers are accustomed to. i'm tending to agree.
so...yesterday, i was at class, on the bench at the far side of the classroom, getting treats ready, when in comes this nitwit woman (i won't speak of race because i'll only come across as racist...but suffice it to say, she was in her own world with her own language, and was utterly oblivious to others in the class)...well, in fact, it wasn't her coming in...it was her dog hauling her in...a chow cross, i heard her say to someone else, but it looked like a chow/jindo dog...tall, muscular, 1 1/2 times matea's size, tail erect and clearly dominant. (in fact, i saw his dominance very clearly at the end of class with another dog.) he barges through the door, dragging his owner behind him, at the end of his 6' leash, making a diagonal, bee-line right for matea across the classroom. even one of the regular students (a woman who helps with a LOT of the training classes and has a lot of respect for matea) told me afterwards that she couldn't believe what was going on. AND she said that her rottie, too, perked up the second the dog blasted into class because of its attitude.
the owner - completely in her own oblivious, self-absorbed, ignorant world - didn't even seem to notice, or care, that her dog had practically charged matea and was on her ass. the most i could do was stand and try to push the dog away. i should have been more forceful. i should have said something to the woman beforehand, but i don't want to make waves in the class.
still, the dipshit didn't even notice, and the dog was dragged away only slightly because she was trying to make her way to the bench to ready herself for class. it was at that point that matea lunged. yes, i caught her in time. in fact, the rottie-handler (after class) praised me for my handling of the situation.
but here's the thing... my gut reaction is to put matea down, to make sure she knows - without a doubt - that lunging at dogs, regardless of the dog, is NOT appropriate. a three-second censure, get her attention on me, show her my disapproval, and THEN focus on recovery. but no....cheryl swoops in, all positive and happy, trying - with great difficulty - to draw matea's attention from the other dog. she'a fucking GWP!!! no WAY is ANYONE or ANYTHING getting her attention off that 'threat' in any manner. i know she's a dog...i know a lot of her character is not unique, but i've yet to find a trainer who's actually had experience with this breed and its drives. and let me tell you, it IS a drive unlike any other.
my legs were shaking, i felt like crying, and i just wanted to leave. of course, the oblivious owner quickly moved to the other side of the classroom like *I* was the only one with an out-of-control dog. and then, even as i was trying to work with matea, to regain her focus in spite of the other dog's presence, the dipshit STILL continued to ignore her dog. it sat behind her (yes, her back turned to her own dog), its leash lying on the floor, again completely oblivious. the dog would have been on top of matea before the woman ever even realized he'd broken his stay.
i'm angry. i'm disappointed. i'm seeing matea acting out more in class, not less. i need to talk to cheryl, to hopefully convince her that, in spite of her years of experience, she HASN'T seen everything, that she hasn't worked with every kind of dog....and to maybe convince her that i might just know more in regards to my GWP.
seriously, as much as i adore cesar millan, if he offered to take matea for a period of time, i wouldn't let him. i feel that although he and others are obviously FAR more experienced than i am, they don't know this kind of dog...that even though matea's never hurt another dog, most trainers would underestimate her potential to do so, they would underestimate her drive to make a point. so....i need to sit down with cheryl again, see if anything can be done. in the meantime, i hold back my tears and love this dog in spite of the dangerous potential i know lies within her.
oh, and i also intend to discuss with cheryl that she consider addressing her students (current and future) on the proper way to bring dogs into any facility....pack leader first, goddammit. of the dogs that matea has had issue with, they're ALL the ones who drag their owners through the front door.
sorry for the dump. i guess the thing that sucks the most about this is that if not for this dog-issue of matea's, in spite of my fantastic imagination, i could NOT imagine a more perfect dog and best friend.
Yesterday I saw this modest Ferrari, parked tight between other cars, and at first I wasn't that creative with taking pictures of it.
So, I've tried to do something different from what I use to do here.
The car was quite dirty, had lost some of its shine and had a dent just before its front wheel.
The light was actually quite nice though, so I thought this shot fitted the car very well.
The Ferrari 328 GTS is the targa version of the fixed roof 328 GTB.
The GTB referred to the Gran Turismo Berlinetta (coupé) body while the GTS was a Gran Turismo Spider (targa top).
The 328 GTS and GTB were the final developments of the normally aspirated transverse V8 engine 2 seat series.
The 328 figures in the model title referred to the total cubic capacity of the engine, 3.2 litres, and 8 for the number of cylinders. The new model was introduced at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon alongside the Mondial 3.2 series.
i designed this wallpaper for school. the inspiration comes from an old icelandic national costume. the project was to design something for the future inspired by old icelandic crafts.
i just won an award at school yesterday for this project. it was voted the best idea. the judges were 2 girls who are graduating from the iceland academy of the arts and a former student at my school who is now a tv presenter. i got money, so i'll be shopping tomorrow!

act on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest.
i've been sitting around my house doing nothing for hours. i don't know why but i felt so tight inside, and i told my mom i was going out to take some photos just because. and the strange thing is, i felt so good just going out here and taking some shots. it really made me feel open. maybe that's what photography is supposed to do.
i took this for me. i don't know how you feel about it, but i love it.
and just because i love doing this, and getting these here is the form. i wanna know what you have to say.

This was an incredible old real-ale pub owned by the equally extraordinary Mrs Davies (who has now sadly passed away) until just a couple of years ago.
She was well into her eighties when this photograph was taken, and had grown up in Melbourne Australia, where her father was a racehorse trainer.
She inherited this pub when she was a little younger, and simply decided to come over to Wales to run it.
Absolutely nothing inside had changed since the 1930's,,,and the beer was just as good as then too, I've little doubt.
If you look at this photograph in "original" size, and look at the left hand side of the frame, you can just about see Mrs Davies in an even older framed photograph, hanging on the wall.
The guy sitting next to my wife is Genadii Dubayev, the Chechen novelist, who now teaches at The Sorbonne in Paris.
We were privileged to have him visit us over that Christmas and New Year (2002-03).
He's also a mean hand with an old vintage Leica out of the true Cartier Bresson mould.
If you should ever run into him however,,,don't let him challenge you to a Vodka drinking competition.
A genuine "Extreme Sport", at which you will certainly lose,,,but big-time, as I did (that is if you're a "normal" human being,,,and not somebody from Chechnya).

Suggested by the book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald F. Keyhoe, this story, about an alien invasion of Earth, is highlighted by spectacular special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Charles was always cutting out stories from newspapers and in the mid-fifties there were a spat of flying saucer sightings. Charles thought this phenomenon would make a good feature and so Earth Vs the Flying Saucers was the result.
The design of the saucers was based on what most people would expect but Ray added an animated section into the top and underside that also had flutes in them so that people could see it was moving.
The various sizes of saucers (there are seven in total) were made from aluminium by Ray’s father and then anodised giving them a matt finish so they didn’t reflect light.
Ray never liked the latex alien suits used in the film even though he designed them. He would have preferred to animate models of the aliens but because of budget restrictions this was never possible.
Instead of drawing entire storyboards for the action, Ray used location photographs and executed rough sketches on them and then mounted them for storyboards.
As with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, a great number of the rear project plates were stills.
For all the aerial model work Ray used old recording wire on which to suspend the saucers.
The miniatures sets – The Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings cost $1500 each and the Washington Monument cost just $500. Compare those costs with today’s budgets
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (EvFS) is the flagship of 50s sci-fi B movies. It has all the hallmarks of a typical B movie: shot in black and white, much stock footage, low-budget props, etc. That said, EvFS is still the best of its breed. The acting is good (for the most part). Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of the saucers is great. His saucers have more "life" than any model on a string could attain. The basic premise of hostile aliens invading the earth with flying saucers was a classic. EvFS would be a significant influence in Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attacks.
Dr. Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) heads a nascent satellite program, but all of his satellites blow up or fall from orbit. A saucer buzzes Dr. Marvin and his wife as they drive to the base. Despite a call from Dr. Marvin's father-in-law (Morris Ankrum), they launch the next rocket. A saucer descends on the base. Troops open fire. The saucer is invulnerable, but one of the robot-like aliens is hit. The other alien-bots use heat beams to destroy the base. Only Dr. Marvin and his wife escape because they were in a deep bunker. The aliens came from a defunct solar system, intent on taking over the earth. They want earthlings to surrender peacefully so their new home won't be a ruin from the battle. Mankind is defiant. The aliens give earth 56 days to think it over. The time is used, instead, to develop an anti-saucer weapon. Dr. Marvin and staff develop a magnetic disruptor which makes the saucers unstable. When the fleet of saucers finally arrive over Washington DC, a whole fleet of disrupter-beam equipped Ford flatbed trucks is there to greet them. A mighty battle rages. Saucer heat beams destroy much, but the trucks take their toll too. Saucers wobble and fall into a variety of DC landmarks, including the Washington Monument. Finally, the last saucer falls. Earth is saved! The end.
It's hard not to enjoy this classic of 50s B sci-fi. It has everything a 50 sci-fi fan loves. The acting is reasonably good, the pacing is pretty good too, so even someone who isn't a fan of the genre could be suitably entertained.
EvFS is a classic allegory of Cold War tensions. A hostile force seeks to invade and take over. In the mid-50s, the threat from communism was never far from viewers' minds. The caustic Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would say, later in 1956 "We will bury you!" would say later. When, in the movie, the earthlings decide to fight the saucers, an Army general says: "When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies!" Such was American popular sentiment towards the threat of communism.
Stock Footage Fun -- amid the usual clips of P-80s and V-2s (Checkers!) and other military clips, are stock disaster clips. Storms, fires, destruction. For the sci-fi fan, there are also snippets recycled from earlier sci-fi movies. There are battle scenes cut from War of the Worlds ('53) and The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51).
Cheap Suit -- The aliens walk about in crude robot-like suits with faceless bullet-shaped helmets. The fit and finish of these suits is quite poor when you get a good look at them.
Alien Glimpse -- The brief scene in which the real alien (head) is exposed, reveals the taxonomy that would become archetypal: big head, tapering to a small neck, large almond-shaped eyes, tiny mouth. They're also said to weigh little, being fairly weak and frail. Of the many sorts of invading aliens seen thus far in the 50s, some were simple -- men in leotards Killers from Space, if not just plain people Devil Girl from Mars and Flight to Mars and giant humanoids: The Thing. A very few hostile (or at least frightening) invaders were not humanoid: Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds. The alien in EvFS appears to be an early showing of what would later become the presumed "true" shape of alien life forms.
Bottom line? EvFS is well worth watching. Fans of 50s sci-fi will enjoy it. Family members of fans of 50s sci-fi can tolerate it. In many ways, it is the epitome of the B grade 50s science fiction movie.

AGL Torrens Island Power Station, South Australia, taken from Adelaide Brighton Cement 4 km from the power station. No. 29 Berth (common user) in the centre and No. 27 Berth (bulk grain loader) on the right. The ABB bulk grain loading facility has travelling loading booms with spouts and potential gross loading rate for wheat of 1450 tph.
Torrens Island Power Station was built as a fuel oil-fired power station designed to burn residual fuel oil from Port Stanvac refinery with plans to convert to coal a few years after completion of A station. However, in 1970 the decision was made to convert to gas instead - a wise decision in hindsight. The station still occasionally burns fuel oil when gas is in high demand or required interstate.
Il paganello 2010
Il solito freddo da lupi, anche se da questa foto non sembrerebbe.
Poco tempo, quest'anno, da dedicare all'evento.
Condizioni meteorologiche critiche. Instabilità, sopra e dentro.
Le solite conferme di un evento che arriva ti prende e ti porta via... lasciandoti un martedì in cui puoi solo scrivere, guardare e ricordare, cercare e rielaborare.
Mi accadeva quando ci giocavo, ci lavoravo.
Ma accade anche oggi, che sono un mero utente di questo pezzo di vita.
Accade anche a chi, come me, non è dentro se non con lo spirito, e non ne succhia il midollo come andrebbe fatto in occasioni del genere.
Ma insomma, pur situato ai margini di un evento che concentra su una spiaggia l'eterogeneità del mondo, assistere al paganone è sempre bello. E' sempre una possibilità.
L'effetto del passaggio è questo. Da sempre.
Il Paganello è in grado di mettermi quella bella malinconia addosso. Ed è in grado di metterla prima che finisca, a volte, come quest'anno, prima che inizi. Ho convissuto con la malinconia da fine torneo da qualche giorno prima dell'inizio. Quando il rombo dei motori è talmente alto, prima della partenza, che non esiste altro, se non l'imminente welcome party.
Perché il paganello è troppo per quel poco tempo che dura.
O forse è il giusto, giacché le pause e l'aspettativa sono forse più importanti dell'azione che precedono.
Comunque, rivedere Thusar è stato fantastico ed assistere a quel mondo libero e semplice, pure.
Quest'anno, una novità fotografica.
Fra le foto standard del torneo, cercherò di raccontare il paganello 2010 pure con qualche ritratto, senza menzionare nell'immagine quel disco di plastica dura. Vediamo cosa ne uscirà fuori.
Ah, per chi non sapesse di cosa parlo

Zabriskie Point in 5 picture panorama, each picture in 3 exposure bracketed HDR--total 15 pictures. The original picture in 300 ppi high resolution is 4 feet long and 1 foot high and is 23 MB in JPEG form. Nearly 1 GB in TIFF format - HUGE! I used Nik's HDR Efex Pro for each HDR segment to be developed from Lightroom 3. I had no adjustment at all in Lightroom, only corrected for lens distortion in auto setting each picture. Once the HDR TIFF files were developed--each processed with the exact same preset to the same intensity--I used Photoshop CS5's Photomerge command to stitch the 5 HDRs together--believe it or not, I used the "auto" mode! It does a perfect job! After that I only reduced noise a bit on the skies and sharpened the mountains and hills.
I used the same setting as for the previous shot, f/11 with 1/160 on ISO 200 at 25mm.
As I mentioned earlier, the flan figured hill was to show next; so here it is! I left on the right side the visitors' map so you can see the scale. The place I am standing is about 300 feet up (100m) so the "road" you see winding around the hills is about 300 feet down. The "caramel topping" on the fingers down looking hill is volcanic origin on top of sediments. Tube lava was growing around here under water.
