This is the Figurehead of the replica ship Freedom Schooner Amistad
La Amistad (Spanish: "Friendship") was a 19th-century two-masted schooner built in the United States but owned by a Spaniard living in Cuba. The ship was notable as the scene of a revolt by African captives being transported from Havana. When they took control of the ship in July 1839 and were later captured by the US Navy, La Amistad became a symbol in the movement to abolish slavery. The ship was taken under control by the United States, resulting in a legal battle over the status of the Africans, as importation of slaves into the US had been prohibited since 1808.
On July 2, 1839, Sengbe Pieh led fellow 53 Africans (49 adults and 4 children), captives being transported aboard La Amistad from Havana, in a revolt against their captors. After gaining control of the ship, the Africans demanded to be returned home, but the ship’s navigator deceived them about the course and sailed north along the North American coast to Long Island, New York.
The schooner was taken into custody by the United States Navy and the Africans were taken to Connecticut to be sold as slaves. There ensued a widely publicized court case in New Haven, CT about the ship and the legal status of the African captives. At that time the transport of slaves from Africa to the Americas was illegal, so the ship owners fraudulently described the Africans as having been born in Cuba. The court had to decide if the Africans were to be considered salvage and the property of Naval officers who had taken custody of the ship, whether they were the property of the Cuban buyers, or of Spain as the Queen of Spain claimed, or lastly, if the circumstances of their capture and transportation meant they were free. The issues became the focus of the Amistad case, which figured prominently in abolitionism in the United States. In America, the African leader Sengbe Pieh became known as Joseph Cinqué. The Supreme Court ruled the Africans had been illegally held, and the United States arranged for them to be returned to Africa, as they wished.
Freedom Schooner Amistad set sail on June 21, 2007, from New Haven on the "Atlantic Freedom Tour", a 14,000-mile (23,000 km) transatlantic voyage

The Kodak Folding Pocket Camera was released in 1902 and takes postcard size pictures of 4 x 5 inch (10 x 12,5 cm) on daylight loading roll film or glass plates. Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary had been traveling to the Arctic region since 1886. From 1891 onwards he took Kodak cameras with him. He preferred 4 x 5 inch cameras because these made large enough pictures yet they were relatively small and light. On his 1908-1909 expedition he finally reached the North Pole, and with him he had a No. 4 Folding Pocket Kodak very much like this one. He documented the expedition with this camera including critical photos which were later used to validate that he really had been to the North Pole.

This image was inspired by many people on Flickr. Lately I have been seeing the most amazing light ray images. I had to go back through a couple of years of photos to find this one but I knew I had it somewhere. This was taken in June of 2008.
Just wanted to say thanks to all my Flickr friends for sharing their images and keeping me inspired. I also, want to thank everyone for the visiting my stream and leaving all your nice comments.

The next day the weather was better and after a good breakfast at the "Hotel Steel" we got to work fresh. We managed to get at least one good picture on the south side of the complex, but it is clear that we wanted more. After a double check by the Ochrona, we positioned ourselves near the oxygen station and waited there in the din of the huge facilities. Two Qarmet locomotives were active at the same time and posed for us: TEM2UM-907 was shunting scrap for the steel converter, while TEM1-1697 was moving into the plant. Under the bridge, i.e. below us, the Ochrona was active and checking the fence. We noticed very clearly that we were not welcome and went in search of another place.

This is definitely not the best photo I've ever taken of an eagle, as far as sharp details go, but I love the position that the wings are in and the way that the feathers are spread out and ruffled. Photographed at Conowingo Dam in Maryland on a drab and overcast morning 1/5/22.
This is Triplet Falls in the Otway Ranges. The prescribed path though doesn't get you in a good position to photograph the falls. So after a little bit of scrambling and quite a lot of mud I got to this location.
today i positioned two new arches front and centre, easy to assemble www.diy.com/departments/kingfisher-warch-decorative-garde...
the front arch had to be replaced as it was collapsing, too many fat squirrels bouncing around :) the back arch is fine and remains
i added the centre arch so that i wouldn't need the poles and wood to hang things that i had on the previous design flic.kr/p/2p6E8ND the ivy covering the tree will gradually intertwine through both arches back and centre
the honeysuckle seems to have survived the changeover and is draped over the new front arch as it used to be, time will tell
plenty of signs of life in the garden, much to look forward to ...
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

Ma dove guardano ormai
quegli occhi spenti che hai?
Cos’è quel buio che li attraversa?
Hai tutta l’aria di chi
da un po’ di tempo oramai
ha dato la sua anima per dispersa.
Non si uccide un dolore
anestetizzando il cuore
c’è una cosa che invece puoi fare
se vuoi se vuoi se vuoi..
Parla con me, parlami di te
io ti ascolterò
vorrei capire di più
quel malessere dentro che hai tu.
Parla con me, tu provaci almeno un po’
non ti giudicherò
perchè una colpa se c’è
non si può dare solo a te.
Parla con me, tu dimmi che cosa c’è
io ti risponderò,
se vuoi guarire però
prova un po’ a innamorarti di te....
FROM MY LYING POSITION PHOTOGRAPHING THE HERON my cover was blown, a herd of cattle where being moved from one area to another, but at first all that could be seen was a huge cloud of dust, then the first cattle emerged where running in my direction, the image shows only a part of them because they are now quite close, hastily made my way to a palm tree for cover, as the cattle now saw me they did make a parting for me, the herdsman following them just laughed, and now I had to smile about the whole thing, and now thinking about birding in the UK I have moaned when a dog gives away your cover by barking at you or licking you to death, so that will never be as bad as the Gambia.
Thank you for your visit, back to birds tomorrow, plenty more to show, hope your not tired of them yet, any comments received are very appreciated.....Tomx
Glancing through my gallery you might think that we have an abundance of insect life in our surroundings. Nothing could be further from the truth and I struggle to find much at all day to day, especially at the moment during our anticyclonic gloom. One species that does seem to have done OK is the mother of pearl moth - patania ruralis. As I go around the garden watering with the hose, I inevitably disturb one or two moths and this one flew out yesterday and secreted itself amongst the Japanese azalea leaves. Usually these moths in flight travel fast and disappear before I can pinpoint their position. But I managed to spot this one's hiding place and got a snap or two, even with our dark, grey skies overhead. These mother of pearl moths have emerged from a clump of nettles which we grew in a container pot. Quite often they have flapped back into the nettles which have kindly stung me as I strive for a snap or two. This time however, there were no such hazards.
And now for the rinse…
It was an absolute treat to watch a flock of some 30+ Sanderlings enjoying bath time as the small waves of Pensacola Bay rolled in just after sunrise. I’m not sure what the order represented, maybe family units, possibly some pre-conceived risk-to-reward, not too many in the water at one time for safety’s sake methodology but for some odd reason only two to three would bathe at a time. They would march out from the dry sand area about 4-5 feet, bend down with their beaks fully extended, allowing the wave to wash completely over them.
As soon as the wave passed, they would shake wildly, preening intentionally…like stinky parts…wing pits and personals…just in time to assume the position for the next wave. After 2-4 waves they would leap straight up in the air and fly back to the flock, quickly being replaced by a member of the posse.
Good clean natural adventure before dementia!
Out at Happisburgh this evening, a couple of hours after low tide. The rock sea defences are being moved, revealing more old debris on the beach. These are out to sea a little way though, with the camera positioned on the seaward side of the rocks.

Possibly the largest semaphore operation remaining on the Indian metre gauge lines is Pilibhit East Signal Box. Located at the "business" end of the station and controlling routes out to Tanakpur, Mailani Junction and Shajahanpur, as well as a level crossing and access to the carriage sidings and maintenance area, there's rarely an idle moment during the day.
In comparison to boxes in the UK these are pretty rudimentary regards additional technology and what you see is pretty well what you get. Throwing the levers takes some effort too and here the signalman is giving some welly (or rather sandal) returning lever 56 to its normal position.
Catch this while you can - the scene will change forever in a few months when gauge conversion starts in earnest.

Did a night shoot with Adam Bender www.flickr.com/photos/adambender/. This was the last stop of the night. We had never seen a night image of ontario's last covered bridge. (The Kissing Bridge). This is the first time i have had a chance in months to go out and shoot something i really enjoy. It was a great night. the weather was beautiful for the first time in a long time. it was so quiet. all we could hear were the sounds of the animals. Thought we might see the headless horseman come riding through, but no luck. lol
*This is the last covered bridge in Ontario and was built in 1881.

A bolt lands just a few miles away from my position near Vekol Valley on August 28th. Was a second one to the right that was sadly mostly off-camera, hence a nice vertical crop for this one! Thankful for this night as missing the past few days has been rough...I knew where I shoulda been yesterday, but went against my gut stupidly. Bumming today about it but that's how storm chasing is...ups and downs. Hopefully some good storm days coming up!
