Hoje fez um dia muito estranho, sol, de repente uma chuva muito forte, e no final foi isso que apareceu.
Landon Everhart (WW): Mrs. Braithwaite, thank you for joining us today. To begin, what prompted your decision to run for a position on the Hogwarts Board of Governors?
Cecily Braithwaite (CB): It's a pleasure to speak with Witch Weekly. My decision to pursue a seat on the Board of Governors at Hogwarts stems from my lifelong commitment to magical scholarship and education. Hogwarts holds a special place in my heart—it's where my own magical journey began. I believe I have a wealth of experience and insights that could contribute significantly to shaping the future of this esteemed institution.
Landon Everhart: Your accomplishments in the field of magical scholarship are indeed extensive. How do you envision Hogwarts evolving under your guidance?
Cecily Braithwaite: Hogwarts is a beacon of magical learning, and I envision it continuing to uphold its tradition of excellence while embracing innovation. I believe in fostering an environment that encourages not just rote learning, but also critical thinking, exploration, and the study of ancient magical practices. My vision is to enrich the curriculum with a broader spectrum of magical studies, ensuring that Hogwarts prepares students for the complexities of the modern wizarding world.
Landon Everhart: Could you elaborate on the specific changes or additions you hope to implement within Hogwarts' curriculum?
Cecily Braithwaite: Certainly. I aim to advocate for the integration of more in-depth studies into ancient magical civilizations, arcane magical theory, and esoteric magical practices. These areas hold immense potential to broaden students' perspectives and deepen their understanding of magic's origins and complexities. Additionally, I believe in promoting interdisciplinary studies that bridge traditional magical subjects with real-world applications.
Landon Everhart: What sets you apart from the other candidates vying for a position on the Board of Governors?
Cecily Braithwaite: My lifelong dedication to magical scholarship, my extensive experience in advising magical institutions, and my commitment to nurturing the next generation of witches and wizards distinguish me. I bring not only a depth of knowledge but also a passion for fostering an inclusive and forward-thinking educational environment.
Landon Everhart: As an influential figure in the magical community, how do you plan to balance your scholarly pursuits with your role on the Board of Governors, if elected?
Cecily Braithwaite: My scholarly pursuits have always been intertwined with my dedication to education. If elected, I intend to continue my research endeavors while ensuring that my insights and experiences benefit Hogwarts. I believe my scholarly work will further enrich the educational landscape at Hogwarts, contributing to a more dynamic and comprehensive curriculum.
Landon Everhart: Thank you, Mrs. Braithwaite, for sharing your vision and insights. We wish you the best in the upcoming election for the Board of Governors.
Cecily Braithwaite: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my aspirations for Hogwarts. I am truly honored, and I hope to serve Hogwarts and the magical community with dedication and wisdom.

When we first started to see the aurora borealis during twilight, we could still sunset color on the horizon!
The moon set a little bit north of west, so the bands of green aurora stretched east-west overhead, converging on the east and west horizons. That pattern continued all night. The brightest band often ran across the sky to the south of us (as in this photo).

1.i have date night every friday night, even if no one else is here to share it.
date night involves me taking a bath and lighting about 50 candles in the living room.
i put on some groovy tunes and something satiny and drink something alcoholic and cuddle up to the softest
blanket ever and yeah, that is about it.
2.i have another date night every saturday night, with my best friend jessica.
it usually involves kung pao tofo and peppers and some crappy romantic comedy
and a crafty creative project.
3.i have 2 bathrooms in my place. one of them has doorknob issues. everyone who
has ever used it freaks out because they think they can't open the door. actually,
you just have to turn the knob the other direction ( to the left ) ... but trust me on this
... almost every doorknob is supposed to turn to the right.
4.i don't watch that much tv anymore but i have noticed that my favorite shows over the
years are ones that involve major sexual tension between the main characters ( i.e. moonlighting,
who's the boss, x files etc.)
5.i have temperature issues in bed.
i am usually naked or in a slip at night.
if i am really cold, i love tons of warm blankets
and if i am really warm, i love one super cold sheet wrapped around me.
6.i have a fascination with Starbucks Iced tea Lemonade concoction.
i have yet to find a barista make it the same way twice and i know they have
directions for all their drinks.
i finally found a man who made it perfectly
it used to be my favorite drink there
...
he quit and now no one makes it good anymore.
7.i have serious light bulb issues in this apartment.
with all my ceiling lights, bathroom lights, kitchen lights, bedroom lights, etc.
i probably manage to kill 2 light bulbs a week.
even on a step stool i can't reach them, so i have to wait until saturday night date night
to have my tall best friend change my bulbs.
i spoke to her earlier tonight and told her she needs to come over tomorrow
because if i wait any longer, i am going to be sitting here in the dark.
8.i've been thinking about quitting my job and moving.
something very unlike me but i really feel as if i need a change.
i don't know where i'd go. i have ideas, but not really.
all my friends and family are here.
i have a good job at a company i have been with now starting 8 years.
i just need something different somewhere else.
9.one of my favorite ice creams is Nestle's King Size Drumstick ice cream cones.
my friend just came by and i made him drive me to 7-11 to get one and i gobbled that fucker right up.
yum!
10.i've been really poopy all year.
i am not used to this feeling of gloom.
i find myself crying far too much and it kind of sucks.
i don't really have it in me to go on more about that, so pffft.
11.i have a magnetic dart board on the back of my front door.
i suck at it.
with practice i am sure i could get better.
these magnetic darts are what suck, not me.
12.which reminds me, i used to love to shoot pool.
i grew up with a pool table ( my parents own one)
and i used to frequent a coffee house in high school that had one.
sadly, the coffee shop table had this horrid tilt and i had to learn the tricks and secrets
of how to play on that table..but when new comers would play, i managed to kick and ass
or two.
13.i collect wrapping paper, but not in a Dyxie way :P
i have this tall clear glass vase with rolls of beautifully printed wrapping
paper sticking out of it. i use it as art or something.
once in a while, if i am feeling crafty, i cover a coffee can in it, or frame it, or cover
my refrigerator in it, or wrap a pringles can in it for my ttv contraption.
....

thanks for listening.
carry on with your bad selves.

*spontaneous eruption of the bits and bobs box
============================================
while on holiday a few shots have been taken and if shots were not lucky enough to get a lucrative position of "photo a day" they found themselves in the BBB (bits and bobs box). I am not sure what happened , did I disturbed the box or bits and bobs got a bit rowdy inside (maybe some quarrel occurred arguing who is bit and who is bob and the whole thing gone violent) but the thing , the box, erupted, it went boom! blown to pieces and bits and bobs were flying everywhere, when dust settled I said to them "hey bits! and you bobs! off you go to flickr! I got enough bother with "photo a day" business and go they did ...
if you follow me you probably are going to unfollow , and I can't blame you, as tens of bits and bobs are unleashed , they are coming ... and coming ... and coming ....
This weirdly-named waterfall is located at the bottom of Filmore Glen in New York. As a whole, this glen wasn't nearly as exciting as the others in the area. There is one other significant waterfall at the distant top of the gorge, and much of what is between is a pretty forested valley that lacks the high cliff walls, waterfalls, and sculpted rock formations common in other glens.
This was a pretty brutal blend of images, as the foreground rocks were in bright sun that turned them white at normal settings, and the shaded background was black. In processing this, I wanted to capture detail in the foreground while still maintaining the sense that there was bright sun on it. The sun was also in a position that threw a large amount of glare over the upper right corner of the lens even though the sun was not in the photo. For this image I took each shot while using my hand to block the sunlight hitting the lens.
Badlands National Park, South Dakota. It was interesting to sit there for an hour and watch the storm develop and then roll across the Badlands just South of our position.
Close-up of the Orion nebula over dunes at White Sands National Park.
For this shot, due to the park closing not that long after it got dark, I had to set up a tracker, simulate the position of Orion, and then go just outside the park and set it up again and continue stacking data from the sky. Hopefully one day when the park opens up again for backcountry camping, I can re-do this image all from one tripod location. However, the perspective is in fact scientifically accurate, with everything taken at a focal length of 300mm — see 3rd image — so this is in fact an accurate representation of what it would look like at that focal length if our eyes were more sensitive!
This nebula is one of the brightest in the sky, and the brightest parts of it are actually visible to the naked eye, even in a suburban area. It’s up in the skies right now! Go out tonight after it gets dark, and you’ll see a faint blur just below the belt of Orion between the “legs”. Though you’ll only be seeing the very brightest part of the nebula, if you take your camera and star tracker to it you will reveal the rest of these details which are larger than a full moon in the sky.
Fun fact: The white “sand” at White Sands isn’t actually sand. It’s a huge pile of naturally-occurring gypsum, the same stuff that is in drywall :)

From the earliest times, the religious and political rulers of pre-Columbian societies began to decorate their bodies. In this way, they demonstrated their status, their privileged position and their sacred origin. But
These adornments did not serve as a "disguise", but allowed the person who wore them to take on a different body and personality. These elements transformed the dignitaries spiritually and physically.

Thanks!!!
Heres my post to Flickr 11|11|11 group.
I had to be apart of this. I'm honored that i get to live through this. Not gonna be another one of these anytime soon;D haha.
Anyways. I'm just laying here enjoying music as i edit some senior photos. Its been a really busy day. I went up to Hershey Medical Center today to see my doctor.
I have a auto-immune disease. And no one really understands. I don't know anyone else with a condition similar to me. I live in a small town where everyones basically healthy, and no one really knows what to think of me. I'm.. well... a sickly person.
But today my doctor told me about a Christmas party for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis from the Rheumatoid Arthrisis Foundation (I'm guessing).
Anyways, its for people with all ages who not only have RA but who have auto-immune diseases get together. It'd be so nice to have people who experience similar problems to talk to. I need that so badly. Thankfully I do not have RA, but my doctor said it would be great for me to go. So hopefully I can get my ass up to state college for that party. I'm in need of a little fun. ahahaha. xD
Anyways, like i said HAPPY 11/11/11 guys!!

3 subsequent bracketed handheld shots using: Canon 5D Mark III; Canon 17-40mm f/4L,
Post processing:
1. Lightroom for initial fixups,
2. Merged in HDREfex
3. Post processed (colors, sharpness and so forth) in Lightroom and ColorEfex in Photoshop CS6
4. Finally did a little more processing (vignetting and temp and so forth again in Lightroom) and perspective adjustment
As I entered this devastated hall, I was immediately struck by the dramatic power of the scene. My intention was to capture the very essence of desolation while preserving a certain beauty within the chaos. I chose to work with the faint natural light filtering in, creating these warm tones that contrast with the blackness of the debris. The perspective framing, guided by the rows of charred seats, draws the eye towards the back of the room, suggesting the immensity of the destruction.
I wanted every detail to tell a story - the twisted metal structures on the ceiling, the seats frozen in their final position, the walls bearing the scars of the disaster. This photograph isn't just a document of destruction; it's also a reflection on the fragility of our living and cultural spaces. By working with a long exposure and choosing this precise angle, I sought to create an almost surreal atmosphere, as if suspended in time, where beauty paradoxically emerges from chaos.

OK, you are excited before going to bed because you know where you're going for sunrise shots previously scouted days earlier when the weather was nice.
Anticipation is building inside and you're anxious to get on the road and do the shoot.
Then 4am comes along and you're nice and snug as a bug under a warm down blanket. The alarm goes off and you dread leaving that warm bed when you're soooo comfortable.
So you don't just doze off, you kick a leg out over the edge of the bed and it dangles until you recognize you're drifting away. Turning to see the time you stagger to the bathroom and splash warm water on your face to get the sleepezzzzz out...followed by a quick burst of cold water. Whoa ! You're awake now ! Anxious again to get into position and fire away.

This is the summer Milky in Scorpius and Sagittarius toward the Galactic Centre here low in the south above the badlands hills of Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. This was on a very clear summer night on June 18, 2026 three days before summer solstice. So the sky is not astronomically dark and is a deep blue from twilight that lasts all night at this latitude of 50º North.
But to the south the sky is darkest and still reveals the rich star clouds and red nebulas around the galactic centre. Green bands of airglow also tint the sky, making for a colourful sky to the camera, with blues, greens and reds in the sky contrasting with the red layered hills and green sagebrush below. The Park's eroding formations are home to a rich collection of late-Cretaceous age fossils.
I used some special filters to bring out the red nebulas, particularly in Scorpius low on the horizon at right, and the large nebula in Ophiuchus (catalogued as Sharpless 2-27) at upper right. The brightest red nebulas at left in the Milky Way are well-known objects from the 18th century Messier Catalogue: bright M8 (the Lagoon Nebula), M16 and M17. Many other fainter nebulas from the 19th century New General Catalogue (NGC) and 20th century Sharpless Catalogue (Sh2) show up as well. The location of the Galactic Centre is just above the horizon at centre.
Some of these nebulas show up only to the camera and to this extent only with the use of special nebula-isolating filters. The bight orange giant star Antares is at right in Scorpius.
I shot the scene as part of testing the filters. But the image works as an attractive and colourful scene, one that records the June near-solstice sky, with red nebulas set in a blue sky tinted by bands of green.
Technical:
This is a complex blend of several exposures taken in quick succession from the same tripod position —
- A stack of 2 x 4-minute exposures for the ground, with no filter and with no tracking to keep the ground sharp (at f/2.8 and ISO 800)
- A stack of 4 x 1-minute tracked exposures for the sky with the Maven Night filter, a broadband light pollution suppression filter (at f/2.8 and ISO 800)
- A stack of 2 x 2-minute tracked exposures for the red nebulas with the Maven 20nm Hydrogen-Alpha narrowband filter (at f/2 and ISO 3200)
- plus another stack of 3 x 4-minute tracked exposures for more nebulosity with the Astronomik 12nm H-Alpha clip-in narrowband filter (also at f/2 and ISO 3200) — I shot with both H-a filters to compare their relative effects.
- Stars were removed from the H-a layers using RC-Astro StarXTerminator AI filter
- plus a 1-minute tracked exposure for the star glows layered in taken with the Maven StarWalker diffusion filter (at f/2.8 and ISO 800)
All with the red-sensitive astro-modified Canon Ra camera and Canon RF 28-70mm lens at 28mm on the MSM Nomad tracker.
All blended in Photoshop. H-a images processed as monochrome images and blended in with BlendIf (with the only the red channel on) and with masking to reveal just the nebulas, and a Hue & Saturation adjustment layer to tweak colours.

Der Aussichtsturm in Dürrenmettstetten ist ein inzwischen auch überregional sehr bekannter Aussichtsturm am Rande des Schwarzwalds, ähnlich dem Vogteiturm in Loßburg.
Er wurde 1998 von den Natur- und Wanderfreunden Dürrenmettstetten mit viel Eigenleistung und Spenden errichtet. Der Standpunkt des Turms ist genau 676 Meter über NN und mit einer Turmhöhe von 24 Metern befindet sich die Aussichtsplattform genau auf 700 Meter über NN.
Schon aus der Weite ist der imposante Turm auf dem Höhenplateau zwischen Oberiflingen und Dürrenmettstetten zu sehen.
Um so weiter ist jedoch die Sicht auf dem Turm, welcher ein lückenloses 360° Panorama ermöglicht!
Dabei reicht die Sicht vom Heckengäu über den Schönbuch bis nach Tübingen. Hier folgt das Panorama der Achalm (707 Meter über NN) bei Reutlingen in Richtung des Albtrauf der schwäbischen Alb. Über den Blick auf die Burg Hohenzollern geht es weiter in Richtung des Plettenbergs bei Balingen. Von hier aus ist bei sehr guter Sicht auch das Panorama der Alpen in der Zentralschweiz sichtbar. Über den Verlauf des Neckartals geht es dann weiter Richtung Südschwarzwald, wo unter anderem bei guter Sicht der Feldbergturm gut erkennbar ist. Dazwischen ist bei sehr guten Sichtverhältnissen der Blick auf das Berner Oberland mit den bekannten Gipfeln Mönch und Jungfrau gegeben. Das letzte Stück des Panoramas folgt vom Südschwarzwals in Richtung Nordschwarzwald. Hier ist unter anderem Freudenstadt erkennbar und ein Stück weiter der Gipfelrücken der Hornisgrinde mit Aussichtsturm.
Das gesamte Panorama (inklusive markanter Orientierungspunkten) wird über vier Aussichtstafeln beschrieben.
Wer mehr zum Turmbau und dessen Entstehung auch in Bildern erfahren möchte, kann dies auf der Homepage der Natur- und Wanderfreunde Dürrenmettstetten tun.
