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.

After missing the first two days of Texans training camp before agreeing to a five-year, $14 million contract Saturday, outside linebacker Brian Cushing is eager to get on the practice field today with his new teammates.
Cushing, the first-round draft choice from Southern California, is getting $10.435 million in guaranteed money to become the starter on the strong side and help improve a defense that ranked 22nd last season, including 23rd against the run.
“I’m just relieved and excited to have this done,” Cushing said. “I’m ready to play football and help the team win.”
Cushing (6-3, 262) was in Los Angeles when agent Tom Condon reached the agreement with general manager Rick Smith and director of football administration Chris Olsen.
Cushing’s contract could be worth a maximum of $18 million over five years.
In the fifth year of his deal, there’s a clause that could earn him an additional $4 million in an escalator bonus.
Odds are that Cushing’s contract will be extended before he enters the fifth season in 2013.
Smith and Olsen will have all eight of their draft choices under contract when the Texans take the field for the third day of two-a-day drills at their Methodist Training Center.
“It’s very important to have him signed,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Rick and Chris were up at 3 in the morning trying to get it done. They’ve done a good job.
“Brian’s two days behind now, but he didn’t miss anything we did in the offseason program, so that’s a good thing. He wanted to be here while we were working on the contract, but he couldn’t.”
Rookies who have signed with the Texans report a week early for conditioning and meetings before practicing for the first time with the veterans. Cushing wanted to report with the rookies.
He was working out at Reliant Stadium last week when the Texans had to explain league rules that forced him to leave.
Cushing took what turned out to be a quick trip back to Los Angeles. He returned to Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Texans coaches are excited to get him on the practice field.
“We’re going to put the pads on (Sunday morning), and I know he’s chomping at the bit to get out there,” Kubiak said.
After the Texans used the 15th pick in the first round on Cushing, they inserted him into the starting lineup. He impressed his coaches in the organized team activities and minicamp.
“We like his presence on the ball,” Kubiak said, meaning Cushing has a knack for finding the ball and making plays. “He’s playing over the tight end, and we’re going to ask him to do a great deal. We think he can handle it.
“Brian’s very athletic. He’s physical against the run. He can rush the passer. He can drop into coverage. We brought him here for a reason, and we’re going to put him to work real fast.”
Frank Bush, who is in his first season as defensive coordinator, has to make calls that maximize Cushing’s strengths. The faster Cushing learns, the quicker Bush plans to utilize all his talent.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of all his talent,” Bush said. “Because he’s such a talented kid, there are a lot of things we can do with him.”
The coaches say they think Cushing has everything it takes to become a star at his position.
“Brian can turn and run with the tight end,” Bush said. “He’s big and strong enough to strike them at the line of scrimmage and nullify some of their speed down the field, so we’re comfortable with him in coverage.
“His ability also gives us a chance to be aggressive toward the quarterback. He’s a big guy who’s shown he can get there.”
Getting into position for the "Tableau Vivant'.
A few seconds really can make all the difference.

China, Harbin, Song Hua Jiang Gonglu Bridge, or Songhua River Highway Bridge & National Street crossing the Songhua River from Harbin to the Sun Island & ahead. The tower is one of the three identical towers on both sides & centre with spiral staircases for pedestrians connected to the top of the slight over 2 km long bridge.
This bridge is leading directly to the "Ice & Snow Festival" & further to the Siberian Tiger research. centre
Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911, Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history.
At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, down to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry air, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture. So, Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
As well the large Siberian Tiger & white tigers research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does an important work to prevent this species from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tigers.

As the smaller guy on the right seems to be supporting the bigger guy, today's Mupic (Music and Picture combination) came to mind. Another Sixties classic; He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, by The Hollies. I spotted them while mowing the lawn and the overall colour combination also appealed to me.

♪ ♫ He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother ♪ ♫ ~~ by The Hollies..
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

In a panoramic position on one of the most inspiring expanses along the Gulf of Policastro rises Maratea, magnificent city in the Region of Basilicata.
Built on the rocky Monte San Biagio, the city faces a spectacular stretch of the Tyrrhennian Sea.
Maratea is a calling for travelers in search of a relaxing seaside vacation marked by Italian landscapes, tastes and culture.See
In Maratea’s old town center, the Medieval urban plan still survives, with its narrow roads, and artistic and architectonic testimonies.
Same shooting position as yesterday's posting. The left edge of this photo is the right edge of that photo.
I increased the saturation of red, but minimized its luminance. I maxed out the saturation of blue and maxed out its luminance. Also did some slider gymnastics: maxed out shadows, maxed out contrast, and increased brightness to 0.34; all in Photos for Mac OS.

Lujiazui (en chino simplificado, 陆家嘴; pinyin, Lùjiāzuǐ), antiguamente conocido como Lokatse por su pronunciación en shanghainés, es una zona de Shanghái, constituida por una península formada por un meandro del Río Huangpu. Desde comienzos de la década de 1990, Lujiazui se ha desarrollado específicamente como el nuevo distrito financiero de Shanghái. La decisión de asignar este uso a Lujiazui refleja su localización: se sitúa en el lado este del río Huangpu en Pudong, justo enfrente del antiguo distrito financiero del Bund, cruzando el río.
Lujiazui es una zona de desarrollo de nivel nacional designada por el gobierno. En 2005 el Consejo de Estado reafirmó los 31,78 km² de Lujiazui como la única zona financiera y comercial entre las 185 zonas de desarrollo de nivel estatal de China continental.
Lujiazui, que significa literalmente "Desembocadura de Lu", está situado en el Nuevo Distrito de Pudong, en el lado este del río Huangpu. Forma una península en un meandro del río, que gira de dirección norte a este. La importancia de Lujiazui deriva de que está justo cruzando el río del Bund, el antiguo distrito financiero de Shanghái, y justo al sur de la confluencia del Río Suzhou con el río Huangpu. Hasta la década de 1980, Lujiazui era una zona relativamente poco urbanizada, que contenía viviendas, almacenes y fábricas.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lujiazui
Lujiazui (Chinese: 陆家嘴; pinyin: Lùjiāzuǐ) is a locality in Shanghai, a peninsula formed by a bend in the Huangpu River. Since the early 1990s, Lujiazui has been developed specifically as a new financial district of Shanghai. The decision to earmark Lujiazui for this purpose reflects its location: it is located on the east side of the Huangpu River in Pudong, and sits directly across the river from the old financial and business district of the Bund.
Lujiazui is a national-level development zone designated by the government. In 2005, the State Council reaffirmed the positioning of the 31.78 km2 (12.27 sq mi) Lujiazui area as the only finance and trade zone among the 185 state-level development zones in mainland China.
Lujiazui is located in the Pudong New District on the eastern bank of Huangpu River. It forms a peninsula on a bend of the Huangpu River, which turns from flowing north to flowing east. The importance of Lujiazui stems from the fact that it lies directly across the river from the Bund, the old financial and business district of Shanghai, and just south of the confluence of the Suzhou Creek with the Huangpu River. Until the 1980s, Lujiazui was a relatively low-built area, featuring residential houses, warehouses, and factories. Following the allocation of Lujiazui as a special investment zone in 1992, the development of Lujiazui's skyline begun. This was largely driven by Chinese state owned enterprises investing and developing the property within the area, with the inaugural landmark, the Oriental Pearl Tower, being completed in 1994.
