Thanks all of you!! :-))
Ryrie’s is a little changed Edwardian public house which occupies a very prominent position at the junction of Haymarket, Dalry Road and Morrison Street in Edinburgh. It has Baronial details and a Scottish Renaissance style teak wooden pub frontage. The interior has attractive leaded and stained glass with lettering and a finely detailed carved gantry behind the bar.
Kirkwood's map of 1817 shows the earlier building on this site as the Haymarket Weigh House. In 1830 David Lawrie occupied this building as an Innkeeper. A few years later Henry Cochrane is listed as a Spirit Dealer at the same address. In 1842 the Edinburgh Glasgow Railway is completed and terminated behind the building. It is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as 'The Railway Inn' and occupied the whole of the current site.
The Haymarket Inn was built slightly West of the corner in 1862. The building now occupied by Ryrie’s would appear to have been rebuilt and baronialised in 1868 (the cast-iron hoppers bear this date) and some alterations were made to The Haymarket Inn at this date as well. By 1906 the two parts were linked as private and public bars of one property under the name The Haymarket Inn and the ground floor and interior rebuilt. The client for the 1906 work was Messrs Ryrie & Company, whisky merchants.
The architect for the 1906 refit, Robert McFarlane Cameron, was responsible for a number of fine pub interiors in Edinburgh, including The Guildford Arms, also part of the D M Stewart Ltd group. His practice was medium sized and very varied and ranged from churches and schools at one end to public houses and premises for the licensed trade at the other. He served as a bailie and magistrate of the city and was considered to be 'a firm friend of the Trade' and as such secured a number of commissions for re-fitting pubs. These became examples of what is now known as People’s Palaces.
George Morrison, a director of the nearby New Edinburgh Brewery at Slateford, owned by Thomas & James Bernard Ltd, became tenant in 1906. His widow acquired the heritable interest in the property and then her executry sold the public house to the Brewery. In turn, Scottish Brewers Ltd acquired Thomas & James Bernard Ltd in 1960. In the 1980s the large Ryrie’s and W M Younger’s Ales signs were placed on the gable ends of the property.
Further minor interior alterations in 1992 improved access around the bar, but left the majority of the original bar unchanged. Ownership of the property passed between large national Pubcos before being purchased by the Edinburgh family run pub company D M Stewart Ltd, which owns and operates some of the cities finest Victorian and Edwardian pubs.

Powerfully emotive bronze sculpture positioned at the front of the National Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.
It is one of a pair, the other being The Offerings of Peace. Both by British sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872 – 1953).
In 1915, after the outbreak of World War I, Bayes submitted to the National Art Gallery a pair of 18 inch bronzed plaster figures entitled Offerings of Peace and Offerings of War and the following year he received the commission to produce large bronze versions to flank the museum's main entrance. They were finished in 1923 and installed in 1926.
Both are allegorical sculptures. War holds a staff, a bundle of swords and broken spear shafts.
This statue stands 4. 2 m in height and weights 6 tonnes.

I have always wanted a shot of the Mukilteo Lighthouse with it's Christmas lights on. I really wanted some snow on it, but the lights were not on it when we had our last snow in November. I usually will not do a straight on shot of a building because of the distortion that is created by the camera lens, which I fixed somewhat in Photoshop with a perspective crop.
As I might create a Christmas card out of this, I did not want one of the Washington State Ferries in the shot. I have another from my usual side angle that has a ferry in it, but I thought it would distract from the lighthouse in this case. Here is one of my older shots: www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/4832194029/
This is three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix 4.0. Oh how I love the new de-ghosting tool in Photomatix 4.0. The wind was blowing at a good clip, so those icicle lights were moving during the lengthened exposures. I perspective cropped in Photoshop CS5 and erased some of the ghosting that Photomatix did not take care of. Added the Vignette in Lightroom 3.0.
Thank you for the views, comments and faves. I appreciate them. I also want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

On the side of a huge square rock on Breakwater falls is this rock cap fern just clinging to life. It's only a couple inches wide. Check out that all the fronds are producing spores - I guess when under pressure, life goes all out!

I haven't been really active these days, I'm sorry!!!
This is my first attempt with infrared and sea. It gives an effect similar to the 10 stops ND, plus some nice tonal shifts if you include greens, such as I did in this one.
Thanx a lot for the great appreciation comments for my previous upload!

Corfe Castle occupies a key strategic position on a chalk mound in the Purbeck hills, just inland from the Dorset coastline.
There has been a castle on the site since 900AD, but the oldest surviving parts of the current structure date back the 11th century when a stone hall and inner bailey wall were built just after 1066, but the castle was captured and destroyed by explosives after a siege during the English Civil War in 1645.
Following the destruction of the castle, the owners chose not to rebuild it but instead built a new house at their other nearby estate in Kingston Lacy, leaving the castle abandoned. The locals took advantage of all the unwanted masonry, windows, doors and other items to build houses of their own in the village!

The Afsluitdijk provides a road link between the provinces of Friesland and North Holland. Since North Holland was part of Vesting Holland ("Fortress Holland"), the national redoubt of the Netherlands at the time, and control of the sluices in the Afsluitdijk was necessary for planned defensive inundations in case of a military invasion, Kornwerderzand was considered strategically important by the Dutch government. From 1931 onwards, fortifications consisting of seventeen casemates and three bunkers were constructed. The position was manned with approximately 220 troops in 1939.
During the German invasion of the Netherlands in World War II, the Kornwerderzand position was defended by Dutch troops. On May 13 and May 14, 1940, the fortifications were attacked by the German first Cavalry Division, while the Luftwaffe attacked supporting Dutch naval units. The German troops, initially lacking support by heavy artillery, were unable to take the position. The fortifications also withstood attacks by dive bombers. The next day the Dutch military in the Netherlands (except for the province of Zealand) surrendered, and the battle ended with the surrender of the position.
In 1943, the occupying German military improved the defenses by building three additional bunkers.
Nowadays, some of the fortifications can be visited as part of the Kazemattenmuseum ("casemate museum").

It's been raining for about two days straight! Once the rain stopped, I went out to my backyard to snap some quick pictures of this interesting purple flower. Luckily, my camera didn't get wet - only my shoes did!
This is a Foxglove flower. Its Latin name is "Digitalis Purpurea".
Equipment: D90, tripod, Sigma 105mm macro, and a wireless shutter remote.
Enjoy!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ WWT London Wetland Centre is a wetland reserve managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in the Barnes area of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, by Barn Elms.
In 2002 the Centre was recognized as a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest', a tribute to the positive environmental impact on the local area. Many birds have now made their home in the Centre that cannot be found anywhere else in London. The Centre was first opened in 2000, the London Wetlands Centre is host to regular lectures and events concerned with preserving Britain’s wetland animals.
The centre occupies more than 100 acres (40 hectares) of land which was formerly occupied by several small reservoirs. These were converted into a wide range of wetland features and habitats before the centre opened in May 2000. It was the first urban project of its kind in the United Kingdom. It became a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) in 2002 and supports nationally significant numbers of gadwall and shoveler duck.
Other wild birds that can be found on the reserve include: great bittern, pintail, lapwing, water rail, ring-necked parakeet, sparrowhawk, sand martin, kingfisher, little grebe and great crested grebe.
It was featured on the television programme Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of the London area, with focus on the region's parakeets, in an episode presented by Bill Oddie.

The SpinSat study tested how a spherical satellite measuring 22 inches in diameter moves and positions itself in space using new thruster technology. SpinSat launched into orbit from the space station through the Cyclops small satellite deployer, also known as the Space Station Integrated Kinetic Launcher for Orbital Payload Systems (SSIKLOPS).
