A couple of tips for anyone that is thinking of doing a shot similar to this:
1) Use warm water.
2) Go pee BEFORE you dump warm water on your crotch.

China, Harbin, City Impressions, St. Sophia Cathedral Place.
Heilongjiang Province, the most northeast part of China, when viewed on a map has the shape of a swan. Its capital city is Harbin, which is located south of Heilongjiang.
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.

I leaned over the barrier and pointed my lens into the canyon with the river running through it one day at Yellowstone. I loved the play of textures, colours, and light that the shaft of sunlight, rock, dark water, whitecaps, and churning foam made.
The dramatic cinammon coloured splotches visible on the ryolite canyon wall are formed when iron in the ryolite is exposed to moisture and oxygen.
Ryolite is an igneous volcanic rock of silica rich composition. The mineral composition is usually quartz, sanidine, and plagioclase. Ryolite is found in about 9 areas in the U.S., including Yellostone and Crater Lake National Parks.

Today was a gorgeous day.
Except it was like 100 degrees >.<
Italin was weird today, my teacher made us listen to some opera, and then she started singing along to it (I have to admit though, it was pretty entertaining). Algebra was boring as usual.
Me and paulina went to subway (:D) for lunch, and then proceeded to watch the spanish channel again (we love making fun of the soap operas), but instead, today we watched Spain vs. US. in the qualifiers for the FIFA world cup (we both agree that the spanish soccer players are WAAY better than the U.S. ones)
Nothing too exciting,
I went to my computer graphics class
and art class for 2 hours.
So yea, I can't wait til summer school is over and omg tomorrow's Thursday!
No more school for like, 3 days :D
Dieser Abschnitt bei km 274 der Emslandstrecke im Lathener Sand war in den siebziger Jahren ein Eldorado für Dampflokfans, hier ließen sich die Züge aus erhöhter Position beobachten und aufnehmen, zudem weist die Strecke an dieser Stelle eine leichte Steigung auf.
Das war eine Garantie für schwer arbeitende Dampfloks mit entsprechenden Dampffahnen vor den langen Güter-und Personenzügen.
Heute hat die Stelle viel von ihrem damaligen Reiz verloren, die Strecke ist seit nunmehr 45 Jahren mit unschönen Betonmasten versehen, auf dem ehemaligen Brandschutzstreifen stehen die Masten der Bahnstrom-Versorgungsleitung und die modernen Elektroloks surren kaum hörbar durch die Landschaft.
Trotzdem hat es mich am 3. Juni 2022 mit dem 9-Euro-Ticket und dem Fahrrad dorthin verschlagen, um mich vor Ort mal umzuschauen.
Der Verkehr auf der Schiene war mau an diesem Vormittag, der einzige Güterzug kam erst, als die Sonne schon weit rum war, der IC nach Köln beglückte mich mit Steuerwagen voraus und so musste dann ein Zweiteiler der Westfalenbahn für ein Bild herhalten.

The Battle of Brandywine (September 11, 1777) featured more troops in combat than any other engagement of the Revolutionary War. Seeking to capture the American capital of Philadelphia, British General Sir William Howe led his forces north from their landing point in Maryland, and American General George Washington positioned his troops behind Brandywine Creek near Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. The British and Hessian forces outflanked the Continentals—due in large part to the efforts of the seasoned Hessian Jägerkorps—and attacked from the rear. Units under the command of Generals Nathanael Greene and Casimir Pulaski provided enough cover for Washington to retreat, but the way to Philadelphia was left open, allowing Howe to take the city two weeks later.

Got an itch to try my hand at decals again, with these basically being recolored versions of Hound Knight's designs. I was unhappy with my last attempt at Hessian Jäger uniforms, since the standard LEGO green was much too bright and Jäger typically did not button their jackets. Overall, I really like both of these figs, especially with the added cuffs (paper) and shoes (electrical tape).
Soli Deo Gloria and happy building,

The Erechtheion (or Erechtheum) is an ancient Greek temple constructed on the acropolis of Athens between 421 and 406 BCE in the Golden Age of the city in order to house the ancient wooden cult statue of Athena and generally glorify the great city at the height of its power and influence. The Erechtheion has [a] prominent position above the city and [its]porch of six Caryatids, remains one of the most distinctive buildings from antiquity. [...].
The real stars of the Erechtheion are without doubt the Caryatids or korai as they were known to the ancient Greeks. [...]. Their clinging Doric clothes (peplos and himation) and intricately plaited hair are rendered in fine detail. Their bold stance and the firm set of the straight standing leg give the impression that the task of bearing the weight of the porch entablature and roof is effortless. Rather cleverly, the straight leg also creates folds in their clothing remarkably similar to the flutes on an ordinary Ionic column. [...].

Now that we all had a chance to relax for a couple of postings, kick back, put up our feet and enjoy some birds in their posing positions, let’s dive right back into the high octane charged world of flight action and observe the Chickadee trying to catch up to her buddy the Nuthatch as he’s trying to hit that wormhole on his way back down south. Will she catch him? Not likely. Two separate portal openings will occur, annoying the heck out of my California friends although it should not be that bad this time around because sound baffles have been installed in an effort to keep the cross border peace. I find myself in an awkward position here, trying to accommodate the natural inclinations of the yard wildlife and at the same time balancing that with the needs of my neighbors for peace and quiet.

Figurative ostrakon depicting a dancer in an acrobatic position (1292-1076 B.C.-New Kingdom -XIX-XX Dynasty) - material: stone/limestone, paint - dimensions 11.5 x 17 x 4 cm. Provenance Deir el-Medina - Egyptian Museum, Turin, Italy.
Gli ostraka sono manufatti realizzati sagomando schegge di pietra calcarea. Si possono quindi considerare come quaderni di appunti o taccuini da disegno. Infatti rispondevano all’esigenza di produrre immagini personali realizzate con il gusto proprio del decoratore e senza vincoli di soggetto. Nel caso dell’Ostrakon della ballerina si coglie l’intenzione di rappresentare un soggetto piacevole, destinato alla fruizione personale e intima.
Le maestranze di Deir el-Medina decoravano le tombe della valle con canoni rigidi, rispondenti alla tradizione. Invece, negli ostraka erano liberi di esprimersi con minori vincoli di ufficialità. Considerata la libertà di esecuzione, gli artisti egizi ottennero quindi figure di danzatrici armoniose e dinamiche. Inoltre i diversi soggetti dipinti documentano situazioni e persone del quotidiano e risultano quindi freschi e spontanei.
Ostrakas are artifacts made by shaping chips of limestone. They can therefore be considered as notebooks or sketchbooks. In fact, they responded to the need to produce personal images made with the decorator's own taste and without subject constraints. In the case of the Dancer's Ostrakon, the intention of depicting a pleasing subject, intended for personal and intimate enjoyment, is grasped.
The masters of Deir el-Medina decorated tombs in the valley with rigid canons, responsive to tradition. In contrast, in the ostrakas they were free to express themselves with fewer constraints of officialdom. Given the freedom of execution, Egyptian artists thus obtained harmonious and dynamic figures of female dancers. In addition, the various subjects painted document situations and people from everyday life and are therefore fresh and spontaneous.
I was not expecting to pull a bat out of the water today. This little bat was attacked by seagulls then dropped into the river. While I was looking for something to reach it the bat flipped over and started swimming for the dock. I picked it up, it was pissed, and put in in a bucket until after work. I took it to an abandoned building, in safe spot. It was still pissed when i took it out of the bucket. Seemed to be fine, other than bothered.

Well, this is the pond where my sigma 70-300mm lens fell into, when I bent down to get these shots...:O((
I hope it was worth it...as they say...you decided...lol
So as promised we move backwards in time, from my previous set of sunset images to the Sunrise images from the same day....It's always great to see the beginning and end of the day...although as we head into the Summer, that becomes more difficult, as having to get up at 4am to catch a sunrise is something I'm not enamoured with..:O((
So make the most of these sunrise images, cause I'll probably not see another till the winter rolls around again..:O)
OK...another cold and cloudy day here in London then...what to do hey..:O)
I hope you all have a great Saturday and you also have a wonderful Weekend..:O))
Duart Castle stands on a rocky headland overlooking the Sound of Mull, a strategic position that has defined its role for centuries.
Dating to the 13th century, the castle became the seat of Clan MacLean and played a central role in the history of the western Highlands. After falling into ruin, it was restored in 1911 by Sir Fitzroy MacLean, returning it to the clan and preserving it as a symbol of continuity.
Today, Duart Castle remains both a historic stronghold and a lived-in heritage site. Within its Great Hall are laid up the regimental colours of the Canadian Expeditionary Force’s 236th Battalion (New Brunswick Kilties), a reminder of the enduring ties between Scotland and its diaspora.

Who doesn't like a crazy bokeh and rim lighting around the subject?
This Crested Pigeon was perched with the sunlight positioned almost directly behind the bird, albeit, on an angle just out of view and being filtered through trees which resulted in beautiful rim-lighting and bokeh.
