About the shot
It's difficult to believe that the Common House Sparrow is in decline because they congregate in large unruly gangs at my bird feeder every day. I enjoy watching the pecking order being established. This male sparrow caught my eye as he flapped an old piece of string around. It will presumably line his nest now.
About the House Sparrow
The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a member of the Old World sparrow family Passeridae, considered by some to be a relative of the Weaver Finch family. It occurs naturally in most of Europe and much of Asia. It has also followed humans all over the world and has been intentionally or accidentally introduced to most of the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa, New Zealand and Australia as well as urban areas in other parts of the world. It is now the most widely distributed wild bird on the planet. In the United States it is also colloquially known as the English Sparrow to distinguish it from native species.
In large parts of Europe, populations of House Sparrows are decreasing. In the Netherlands, the House Sparrow is even considered an endangered species, and the population of House Sparrows has dropped in half since the 1980s. It is however still the second most common breeding bird in the Netherlands, after the Common Blackbird. Currently the number of breeding pairs is estimated between half a million and one million. Similar precipitous drops in population have also been recorded in the United Kingdom. Various causes for its dramatic decrease in population have been proposed, one of the more surprising being the introduction of unleaded petrol, the combustion of which produces compounds such as methyl nitrite, a compound highly toxic for small insects, which form major part of young sparrows diet. Other theories consider reducing areas of free growing weeds, or reducing numbers of badly maintained buildings, which are important nesting opportunities for sparrows. India also has seen a massive decline of sparrow populations in recent years. Agricultural pesticides, predation by crows and cats, and modern architecture have all been cited as possible causes.

Celui qui a dit « Je préfère la chance au talent » avait un regard pénétrant sur la vie. Les gens n’osent pas admettre combien leurs vies dépendent de la chance, ça fait peur de penser que tant de chose échappe à notre contrôle.Dans un match de tennis, il y a des instants, quand la balle frappe le haut du filet, où elle peut soit passer de l'autre côté, soit retomber en arrière. Avec un peu de chance, elle passe, et on gagne. Ou peut-être qu'elle ne passe pas, et on perd."
_________________________________________________________________
The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.
From Match Point , Movie i really love in some way .. in the philosophy it carries
One thing i understood is that , what really matters is the harder you've try and not the result , the result just depends on many things you can't handle on your own
Last thing to add : you must listen to this song while driving :) fr.youtube.com/watch?v=I33fRHbfOIA

On the afternoon of October 27, a rally organized in front of the Ministère de la Crise du Logement, rue de la Banque, turned into an impromptu demonstration with approx. 100 to 200 people. Crossing the Boulevard Haussman, they walked rather (quickly !) from Place de la Bourse to the 50 rue Laffite, where a vacant building had been previously spotted. Gathering in front of the fenced door, they deployed banners and put stickers on the wall to protest about the existence of vacant buildings in Paris while people can't have access to decent housing. The police intervened to clear the sidewalk, pushing away the protesters, which resulted in some limited confrontation. A quiet stand-off ensued for about an hour, after which everybody walked back to the rue de la Banque.

Ok was asked by a friend to take some photos of her daughter and her new horse - now one or two issues with this - i dislike horses ok a fear and i have a wide angle lens so a few challenges .How to give it the wiffsmiff treatment .Well im glad to say they are happy with the result - poor light and dull skies added to my pressure .Oh and another horse gave me a right kicking in the field literally walked past me and kicked my shins - thank god for my hunters .This is by no means perfect and i have never tried this before .
now im wondering why i did not use filters to assist with the sky the sun was right above me to my left :-(
My friends daughter has only had the horse 6 weeks - poor horse must have been put off with me led on the gravel as he jumped the fence :-)

Lightroom is great. You can directly upload your photos to flickr and do lots more fun stuff. Everytime I upload now it inputs what you see above (the metadata and the link to see it large on black). You can set a whole array of other things automatically too.
How to do this (I just learned this from my good friend Jon)
How to you do it?
1. Get Lightroom. This is tedious and can be expensive, but it is totally worth it. Lightroom does basic editing, but where it really excels is in managing your work flow. It is far superior to DPP (Canon's software that comes with its dSLRs) that I previously used. It is not as intimidating to learn as Photoshop.
2. Get this excellent plugin that allows you to export pictures directly from Lightroom to your Flickr account.
regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/flickr
3. Modify the 'description preset' in the plugin (scroll about half way down) by entering the first tag on the left
{could not figure out how to post HTML here without it becoming HTML if anyone follows my drift}
Just copy and paste it.
Select "description treated as:' to be HTML.
4. You may have to authenticate Bighugelabs (i.e. give them access to your account) for the 'see large on black' link to work.
5. Done

À Saint-Malo, l’Aquamuros bat son plein ce week-end
Plus de 300 nageurs se sont élancés, ce samedi 27 septembre, à l’occasion de la seconde édition d’Aquamuros. Au total, la compétition de nage en eau libre rassemble près de 1 000 participants dans la cité corsaire ce week-end.
La plage de l’Éventail était bien animée, ce samedi 27 septembre 2025, pour la première course d’Aquamuros. Pour inaugurer la deuxième édition de la course en eau libre (en mer), organisée en six épreuves, des nageurs de tous les âges ont franchi la ligne de départ pour affronter la première d’entre elles, une course sur 3 km.
1 000 participants en deux jours
Plusieurs courses, destinées aux nageurs aguerris comme amateurs, sont prévues ce week-end. Sur des distances de 1 à 10 km, ils affronteront mer et vent à travers différents parcours, dans une eau a 17 degrés. Samedi après-midi, les plus jeunes courageux se sont mis à l’eau pour la course enfant, un parcours semé d’obstacles sur le sable et dans l’eau.
Dès sa première édition, l’année dernière, l’Aquamuros était devenue la plus grosse manifestation du genre en Bretagne. C’est de nouveau le cas cette année, avec près de 1 000 participants inscrits en deux jours. Ce dimanche, trois courses partiront de la plage de l’Éventail, à 10 h (5 et 10 km) et à 14 h 30 (1 km).
Pour l’Aquamuros à Saint-Malo, les enfants aussi se mettent à l’eau
Pour cette deuxième édition de l’Aquamuros à Saint-Malo, la compétition de nage en eau libre, les enfants étaient aussi de la partie avec une épreuve pour les nageurs de 4 à 10 ans.
La nage en eau libre a trouvé son public, même auprès des plus jeunes. Ce samedi 27 septembre 2025, près d’une centaine d’enfants ont participé à leur épreuve de l’Aquamuros, sur la plage de l’Éventail à Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine).
« Je me suis entraîné »
Une course sur le sable et en mer, semée d’obstacles en tous genres : toiles d’araignées, pneus, ramper… « J’ai un peu peur », avoue Ambre, 5 ans. Pour sa première course, elle sera accompagnée de son beau-père, qui nagera demain sur l’épreuve des 5 km. « Moi je ne suis pas stressé, raconte Jules, son grand frère. Je me suis bien entraîné à la mer et à piscine. »
C’est aussi la première course de Margot et Anna, respectivement 10 et 5 ans. Les deux sœurs avaient assisté à la course l’année dernière et voulaient à leur tour se jeter à l’eau : « On a hâte ! »
AquaMuros à Saint-Malo : plus de 1 000 nageurs attendus plage de l'Eventail
Après une 1ère édition à succès, les associations Saint-Malo natation et Dinan natation sauvetage reconduisent l'AquaMuros, samedi 27 et dimanche 28 septembre, plage de l'Éventail.
Pour la seconde année consécutive, l’AquaMuros comptera pour la finale de la coupe de Bretagne d’eau libre. Après avoir attiré près de 850 participants en 2024 (licenciés ou non), plus d’un millier sont attendus cette année, samedi 27 et dimanche 28 septembre 2025, plage de l’Éventail, à Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine).
Le plus grand événement en eau libre de Bretagne
« AquaMuros est devenu le plus grand événement de nage en eau libre de Bretagne. La beauté du site, au pied du Fort national, et une bonne organisation, ont largement contribué à la réussite de l’événement l’an dernier », soulignent Maxime Van-Lierde, codirecteur d’AquaMuros avec Matthieu Collin.
Pour cet événement, qui mobilisera 100 bénévoles, un village de partenaires sera monté au pied des remparts, Cale des bains chauds, pour accueillir sportifs et visiteurs. Un écran géant permettra de suivre les courses en temps réel.
Pour tous les niveaux
Les inscriptions sont toujours ouvertes sur le site internet ffneaulibre.fr, avec six parcours au choix : 1 km, 3 km, 5 km, 10 km et deux relais 4×500 m mixte et open.
« Celle de 3 km sera celle qui rassemblera le plus de participants avec une jauge de 400 nageurs. La jauge est fixée à 150 participants pour le 10 km, 200 pour le 5 km et 250 pour le 1 km. La petite boucle de 1 km est idéale pour les parents avec enfants, les couples ou les jeunes nageurs licenciés. »
Les enfants âgés de 4 à 10 ans ne sont pas oubliés, car une épreuve Kids Aventure leur est dédiée le samedi 27 septembre à partir de 14h15 (réservation sur helloasso.com sur la page de Saint-Malo natation).

Últimamente pareciera que soy un fanático de la botánica o el herbalismo. Nada más lejos de la realidad, no tengo ni la menor idea sobre esta materia pero siempre me ha gustado acercarme a todo aquello que nos rodea pero que no vemos a primera vista.

A book cover ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ oil painting on canvas
Estimate: PHP 500,000 - 600,000
3rd quarter, 19th century
Bohol
Oil on canvas, gold leaf, kamagong frame with glass covering
62.5 x 49 cm (24 1/2 x 19 1/4 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the private collection of Romeo Bauzon, owner of R.E. Bauzon Antiques; thence from the private collection of Romeo Allanigue, a well-respected antiquarian and connoisseur
Literature:
Fr. Charles Belmonte, Aba Ginoong Maria: The Virgin Mary in Philippine Art, 1990, book cover

The original Guadalupe tilma or cloak – a coarse fabric made from maguey cactus fibers – on which the image of the Virgin Mary is impressed now hangs in the high altars of the Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico City, the most visited Catholic shrine in the world. This oil on canvas painting by an anonymous Boholano painter is based on the original tilma but with several additions, as has become customary, to include vernacular diagnostics and sensibilities, making it singular and uniquely Filipino. The Virgin has heavy lidded eyes and her neck is ringed with prominent folds, which are unmistakable traits in Chinese sculpture and painting, and, thus, evidence of the strong influence. The overall vibrant coloration, especially vermillion and ochre yellow, is intensified further by the application of gold leaf on the lining and decorations on the garments, which is a practice frequently seen in wooden de bulto santos produced in Bohol. The spired structures at the bottom corners are in reference to the church that the Virgin asked Juan Diego to be erected at the site of the apparition in her honor. Beautifully framed in tiger kamagong wood surmounted by carved foliage, it is fitted with glass – which can be removed if desired – for added protection from dust and other elements.
The story of ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ began when the Virgin Mary made several apparitions to a Chichimec peasant named Juan Diego in 1531 at a place called the Hill of Tepeyac, formerly belonging to the Aztec Empire, which, in turn, later became part of Villa de Guadalupe in a suburb of Mexico City. One day, the Virgin arranged the rose flowers in Juan Diego's tilma, and when Juan Diego opened his cloak before Archbishop Zumárraga, the flowers fell to the floor and revealed the image of the Virgin on the fabric. One of the earliest miracles of the tilma was the full recovery of the sick uncle of Juan Diego after being shown of the image of the Virgin Mary. The devotion became ubiquitous in Mexico and throughout the Spanish-speaking Americas. The devotion to the Virgin of Guadalupe was introduced to the Philippines by the Augustinians at the Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church in San Pedro de Macati in 1604 upon the request of Spanish residents. In 1935, the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico was accorded the title ‘Celestial Patroness of the Philippines’ by Pope Pius XI. Juan Diego became the first Catholic saint indigenous to the Americans when he was canonized in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.
This oil painting was a cherished possession of Mr. & Mrs. Romeo Bauzon, owners of R.E. Bauzon Antiques shop on Mabini St., Ermita, Manila. Author Esperanza Bunag Gatbonton requested Romeo Bauzon’s permission to use this painting as cover for the book to be published in 1990 focusing on the Virgin Mary as she appeared in Philippine art. Several years after Romeo Bauzon’s demise in 2004, Romeo Allanigue, a highly respected santo collector and scholar, had the privileged opportunity to buy the painting from Bauzon’s widow, which he has kept and cared for until recently.

OK, this flower I have been photographing for about 3 years. I could never get it right partly because it is so tiny! The entire flower you are looking at here is about a half a cm at its widest part. It is also of a color that cannot be shot well in full light on the sun but because it is dark purplish blue, in the dark it also cannot be shot well. And finally, it is so delicate that my own breathing moves the petals... it took the 100mm macro with IS to finally get the shot!
All processing in LR3, including cropping, selective sharpening and saturation increase of the flower and saturation decrease with blurring of the background. I left this is larger than usual size so if you are so inclined, you can see some more detail when enlarged.
I'm not in a good mood today. I would just like to either go to sleep until a new day/me is born (can't quite do that, it's 4.30PM), or to be somebody else for a day.
Since neither is possible, I'm stuck with me. In this here and now.
Everything feels like a gaping hole. Every person, every word, every though.
Can't wait for tomorrow.
This was taken on my drive home. I saw a tree with the sun+clouds in the background but couldn't stop so I had to turn around and when I came back it was too late. This group of trees I was then standing next to, seemed very appealing. So I set up the camera and handed it over to Sophie who then pushed the trigger.
I might be stretching the rule about the "glorified remote" but just turning the camera around and shooting isn't what I wanted to accomplish with this 365 project. The point was to get out, see the world through a lens and learn how to use a camera (and photoshop, but that's beside the point). I am in no way trying to look down on people who choose to just turn the camera around. I think seeing a collage of 365 face-portraits would be very cool, it's just that I got carried away and am trying to express myself. If I actually had a model that would pose for me, I don't even know what to tell them to do. So I am exploring the world of photography on way more levels.
If at this point anyone would like to point out that my photos are not-that-great or that I'm not-that-talented and/or that I'm totally putting people down, that's fine. It's just that I'm just not satisfied with anything less than my best.
If you don't like lenghty comments, just skip this one. If you read it anyway, it's your own fault. :P
-Periferie (Balck & White)
Shot with Canon EOS 450D + Canon 18-55mm
Excursie vuol dire (dovrebbe voler dire) "Viaggio" in Rumeno, la lingua dell'uomo ritratto nella foto. Nella zona in cui abito sono presenti molte persone provenienti da questi paesi dell'Est Europa. Persone che hanno affrontato un viaggio lasciando la loro terra per cercare qualcosa di migliore altrove.
La raccolta che sarà aperta proprio da questa foto prenderò il titolo di "Periferie" e cercherà di raccontare le realtà di queste aree, talvolta abbandonate, delle città e in particolare di Roma, attraverso i miei occhi.
Nelle fotografie che non avranno nessun riferimento saranno ritratte scene della periferia romana, mentre per altre città sarà riportata la periferia di appartenenza. Non sarà una raccolta che prevederà un singolo uso di una tecnica fotografica per ritrarre le immagini, bensì sarà un insieme di tecniche che hanno l'unico scopo di mostrare la "Periferia". Excurise, non è messa a caso come Prima Fotografia...sarà un viaggio per quanto mi riguarda, non sapendo se sarò in grado di farlo come mi sto prefiggendo, ma che spero di riuscire a portare a termine nel migliore dei modi.
Le fotografie per ora non verrano messe in un set specifico, attendo di averne un buon numero e dopo di che lo creerò.
