Not possible to go there on your own, you have to book a Navajo tour. And if the Navojo guide drives you up you understand why, you will kill your car in this few hour drive to get on top of the Mesa...only the journey up is already an adventure on it self. Camping overnight on top of the Mesa and at (sunset was not that special) sunrise seeing this in front of you...magical, not from this world, a big WOW. Hunt's Mesa is the name, deep in to Monument Valley...go there if you can!
If you remember my previous shot from here, this one is taken 14 min earlier, a great difference in light and colour.
Image is part of the south-west tour.
Enjoy...

- The colors are how they came out of the camera, due to the long expo. (30 sec.) and
an incredibly colorful sunset earlier that evening.
I wanted the best positioning of the powerful elements as possible and chose this one to be the best out of 3 exposures.

I decided to go out and shoot even though there was low light and possible rain. I used the built in flash for these and adjusted the intensity for effect. Each of these are as shot, no adjusting. 1 of 4
December 13th,2009(sooc and in comments too)ON BLACK
wow does the quality of this picture look amazing or what? i think soo. anyways. I've come to this conclusion..i loathe the action of assuming. I don't like it when i do it, or when anyone does it. It never makes anything better, so why do it. People that think to much, tend to assume a lot, hehe that's an assumption because i'm sure not everyone who thinks a lot assumes. I really wish that action wasn't possible. I mean you never know what someone is thinking, so you really can't assume.
So today was chill. I made strawberry pancakes(i cut up real strawberries and put them in the batter yum) for lunch.. but extreme,haha, EPIC FAIL. you know why? i put wayyyyy to much baking powder. instead of 3 TEASPOONS i put 3 TABLESPOONS ahaha so my pancakes were uber big and puffy(pictures in comments). It's funny i've made pancakes from scratch and i've never done that, i was so hungry i didn't read the recipe ahah. also wheat flour tastes sooo different then white flour, and cane sugar tastes sooo different then ruglar sugar as well. It's probably because they are both healthier and in their natural state. the pancakes tasted soo cinnamony to me..though there was no cinnamon in them. I was getting a bit flustered and annoyed, and cooking never makes me angry or flustered, i'm quite patient with it. haha. so that was fun. My dad made and yummy spaghetti dinner, though i took out the meat in the meat sauce...they were making fun of me for that. jonel texted/called me. hehe my hibernating baby. so cute. we talked from 5:30pm-almost 8pm:D he is the greatest guy on the planet. the best, funniest, most understanding, great listener, sweet, unique, random, guy i've ever met. he's so laid back, down to earth, and chill..then at times crazy, wild and silly. he's also extremely beautiful, he's so accepting of me and i'm so crazy and silly and hyper on the phone, from lack of talking to him i get all hyper and crazy. it could just be because as the days pass by more and more i'm falling deeper in love with him. he's got me in a spell i sware. i was joking with him telling him"what if i moved back to florida?" *jonel's voice gets all excited*"are you going to?!!" "hehe do you want me too?" *jonel even more anticipated and excited then before*" are you going to?" haha him and adela really really want me to move back. Even though i miss florida like crazy, i don't want to move back, yet. Maybe in two years. idk i love california. though i miss my home even more. it's crazy when you live somewhere, you don't always appreciate it and what it has to offer but then when you move away, you see what it had, and you wish you appreciated it more. I miss florida a lot. It was my home for the past 8 years, and soooo much happened in that little time. My whole life went upside down then back up again in 8 years. It was incredible. though things happened that i didn't like..i will probably always call florida my home..more than chicago..maybe because i only spent a 11 years of my life in chicago and in those 11 years, i really can't remember much. The memories i do remember are vague, yet wonderful. I loved chicago but florida is more of my home now, it's more me. Chicago has changed a lot since i was there, and i don't like what it has become..regardless of no snow in florida i don't think i will ever go back to chicago. AHAH i so got off topic. Ah well. i'm sure you don't want to hear about jonel anyways. ok well i love you life, and jonel, and ee everything. i need to go make my lunch because i'm getting up at 5:45am(eep) to open tomorrow and i work until 3pm. how fun diddy fun. hope jonel passes his test tomorrow. hope everyone had a fun sunday. i know i did. and i love all you flickr friends. you say such nice things to me
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

Altinote stratonice LATREILLE, 1813
Altinote have velvety black wings, banded with bright red, orange or yellow. Altinote characteristics which in combination make it possible to distinguish them from other genera include short straight antennae with flattened clubs, and closed cells on the hindwings. The latter can most easily be seen from the underside.
There are 17 known Altinote species, most of which are confined to the cloudforests of the Andes, although the range of 2 species extends north into Mexico.
Altinote stratonice occurs as 7 named subspecies distributed variously from Mexico to Ecuador. The species is most prolific in Colombia where 4 different subspecies occur.
This species occurs in cloudforest habitats at altitudes between about 800-2300m.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Dover
The Strait of Dover or Dover Strait, historically known as the Dover Narrows (French: pas de Calais [pɑ d(ə)‿kalɛ], "Strait of Calais"; Dutch: Nauw van Kales [nʌu̯ vɑn kaːˈlɛː] or Straat van Dover), is the strait at the narrowest part of the English Channel, marking the boundary between the Channel and North Sea, separating Great Britain from continental Europe. The shortest distance across the strait, 33.3 kilometres (20.7 miles; 18.0 nautical miles), is from the South Foreland, northeast of Dover in the English county of Kent, to Cap Gris Nez, a cape near to Calais in the French département of Pas-de-Calais. Between these points lies the most popular route for cross-channel swimmers.[1] The entire strait is within the territorial waters of France and the United Kingdom, but a right of transit passage under the UNCLOS exists allowing unrestricted shipping.[2][3][4]
On a clear day, it is possible to see the opposite coastline of England from France and vice versa with the naked eye, with the most famous and obvious sight being the white cliffs of Dover from the French coastline and shoreline buildings on both coastlines, as well as lights on either coastline at night, as in Matthew Arnold's poem "Dover Beach".
Shipping traffic
Most maritime traffic between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea and Baltic Sea passes through the Strait of Dover, rather than taking the longer and more dangerous route around the north of Scotland. The strait is the busiest international seaway in the world, used by over 400 commercial vessels daily.[3] This has made traffic safety a critical issue, with HM Coastguard and the Maritime Gendarmerie maintaining a 24-hour watch over the strait and enforcing a strict regime of shipping lanes.[5]
In addition to the intensive east–west traffic, the strait is crossed from north to south by ferries linking Dover to Calais and Dunkirk.[3] Until 1994 these provided the only route across it for land transport. The Channel Tunnel now provides an alternative route, crossing beneath the strait at an average depth of 45 m (148 ft) below the seabed.
The town of Dover gives its name to one of the sea areas of the British Shipping Forecast.
Geological formation
Map showing the hypothetical extent of Doggerland (c. 10,000 BCE), which provided a land bridge between Great Britain and continental Europe
The strait is believed to have been created by the erosion of a land bridge that linked the Weald in Great Britain to the Boulonnais in the Pas de Calais. The predominant geology on both the British and French sides and on the seafloor is chalk. Although somewhat resistant to erosion, erosion of both coasts has created the famous white cliffs of Dover in the UK and the Cap Blanc Nez in France. The Channel Tunnel was bored through solid chalk.
The Rhine (as the Urstrom) flowed northwards into the North Sea as the sea level fell during the start of the first of the Pleistocene Ice Ages. The ice created a dam from Scandinavia to Scotland, and the Rhine, combined with the Thames and drainage from much of north Europe, created a vast lake behind the dam, which eventually spilled over the Weald into the English Channel. This overflow channel became the Strait of Dover about 425,000 years ago. A narrow deep channel along the middle of the strait was the bed of the Rhine in the last Ice Age. A geological deposit in East Anglia marks the old preglacial northward course of the Rhine.
A 2007 study[6][7] concluded the English Channel was formed by erosion caused by two major floods. The first was about 425,000 years ago, when an ice-dammed lake in the southern North Sea overflowed and broke the Weald-Artois chalk range in a catastrophic erosion and flood event. Afterwards, the Thames and Scheldt flowed through the gap into the English Channel, but the Meuse and Rhine still flowed northwards. In a second flood about 225,000 years ago the Meuse and Rhine were ice-dammed into a lake that broke catastrophically through a high weak barrier (perhaps chalk, or an end-moraine left by the ice sheet). Both floods cut massive flood channels in the dry bed of the English Channel, somewhat like the Channeled Scablands or the Wabash River in the USA. A further update in 2017, attributed a series of previously described underwater holes in the Channel floor -"100m deep" and in places "several kilometres in diameter" to lake water plunging over a rock ridge causing isolated depressions or plunge pools.[8] The melting ice and rising sea levels submerged Doggerland, the area linking Britain to France 6,500–6,200 BCE.
The Lobourg strait, a major feature of the strait's seafloor, runs its 6 km (4 mi) wide slash on a NNE–SSW axis. Nearer to the French coast than to the English coast, it runs along the Varne sandbank where it plunges to 68 m (223 ft) at its deepest, and along the latter's south-east neighbour the Ridge bank (French name "Colbart"[9]) with a maximum depth of 62 m (203 ft).[10]
Marine wildlife
The submarine depth of the strait varies between 68 m (223 ft) at the Lobourg strait and 20 m (66 ft) at the highest banks. It presents a succession of rocky areas relatively deserted by ships wanting to spare their nets, and of sandy flats and sub-aqueous dunes. The strong currents of the Channel are slowed down around the rocky areas of the strait, with formation of countercurrents and calmer zones where many species can find shelter.[11] In these calmer zones, the water is clearer than in the rest of the strait; thus algae can grow despite the 30 m (98 ft) average depth and help increase diversity in the local species – some of which are endemic to the strait. Moreover, this is a transition zone for the species of the Atlantic Ocean and those of the southern part of the North Sea.
This mix of various environments promotes a wide variety of wildlife.[12]
The Ridens de Boulogne, a 10–20 m (33–66 ft) deep[13] rocky high ground partially covered with sand located 15 nmi (28 km; 17 mi) to the west of Boulogne, boasts the highest production of maerl in the strait.[13]
A 682 km2 (263 sq mi) area of the strait is classified as a Natura 2000 protection zone listed under the name Ridens et dunes hydrauliques du Pas de Calais (Ridens and sub-aqueous dunes of the Dover Strait). This area includes the sub-aqueous dunes of Varne, Colbart, Vergoyer and Bassurelle, the Ridens de Boulogne, and the Lobourg channel which provides calmer and clearer waters due to its depth reaching 68 m (223 ft).[14]
Unusual crossings
Many crossings other than in conventional vessels have been attempted, including by pedalo, jetpack, bathtub, amphibious vehicle and more commonly by swimming. French law bans many of these while English law does not, so most such crossings originate in England.[citation needed]
Ice
In the late 17th century during the "Little Ice Age" there are reports of severe winter ice in the Strait of Dover, including a case in 1684 of only a league of open water remaining between Dover and Calais.[15]; see [1] for another report of severe ice in the English Channel.
This possible female Western Bluebird was seen in the Columbia Valley hanging out with a flock of Mountain Bluebirds.
It has been a while since I have seen any Western Bluebirds. I do know that the female Mountain Bluebird tends to look quite washed out and this one has more color.
A comment was made about possible damage on the bird's beak in an earlier posting. This photo definitely shows something occurred to it's beak.
NIKON F80, matrix metering, Kodak iso400, cloudy day, auto exposure, 50mm, straight from scan.
The only decent shot i could get on my new F80. May be i have to get used to it more.
In many ways my 40 year old Nikkormat is very fine than any other camera but F80 has very low light metering capability than my nikkormat.
Been a bit busy with work, would be back to flickr as soon as possible.

The 30-unit modular is possible and will look like Dominanta-30.

Not possible to get a better photo, as it was parked between an active garage and a Co-operative. Not sure whats going on with the building behind, looks like a warehouse converted into a house?! Rare to see in this spec, retaining the traditional Metro sag.
It's possible to date this shot to an IRRS visit in 1974 as 008 was destroyed by a bomb at Meigh on 23 October 1973. Originally A8, 008 came from Metropolitan Vickers in October 1955. Officially withdrawn on 5 October 1977, what remained was scrapped at Inchicore.

Hows that for timing! A flock of passing guls, a setting sun a surfer up and riding all at the same time :) I like how everything is moving in different directions at different speeds, but for the purposes of my photo, they have all become one.
It's another one from Wednesday evenings photo-shoot at Freshwater Bay, with my mates Ian Pacey and Matt Harwood having a sunset surf as the windy conditions that had been around all day eased off just enough for a few cleaner waves to sneak through.
Continuing my recent theme of trying to catch surfing images that have a little bit more to them.

We were short of leaves so wanted to reach lahore as soon as possible. We left Minapin at around 7:30 pm. After doing dinner at Gilgit we reached Raikot at around 1 am midnight. We were suppose to spend night at raikot sarai but on reaching to sarai we learned that its closed as no one has returned back from Eid holidays. We had some fear crossing babusar valley in night time. So now we had only two options 1- To spend 4-5 hours in Shangrilla resort 2- Spend night in open air. We were little short of money so decided to sleep in open. That was a nice unique experience.
This War Memorial is located close to the Pierhead Building (in the background) and Senedd. It was sculpted by Brian Fell in 1996 as a memorial to the Merchant Seamen of Cardiff Bay and Butetown. The sculptor seamed together the two distinct features of the beached hull of a ship and a timeless face. The surrounding interpretative mosaic by Louise Shenstone and Adrian Butler, carries inscriptions and portraits of local wartime seafarers.
With the naked eye, the sun was a lurid, hellish red. But I have yet to use a roll of film or a digital camera with a sensor that can capture what the eye sees. So instead of a red ball hanging close to the horizon we have this. And, in a way, that's bad enough.
The bluish light hitting the telephone pole is coming from some blue sky to the north-northwest. The smoke was coming from the northeast, where Altadena and Eaton Canyon are located. The two combined created an eerie lighting effect that I tried to capture as best as possible.
Egretta thula. This Snowy Egret was perched very close to the Common Tern. This image is uncropped at 600mm and does show the yellow lores very well. Once again it was a pleasure to watch and photograph birds at much closer ranges than would be possible in Britain. Photographed in Cape May County, New Jersey.
Whenever possible, Stormtrooper Bruce tries to make the best of the weekends. That includes having the guys over when they’re off duty, and supplying them with movie marathons, nonstop dinner, desserts and snacks, and of course, cooler after cooler of cold ones! Unfortunately, not all weekends are created equal.
STB: OK, guys, before you sit down, we have a slight problem with tonight’s events, which I need to explain. If you decide to leave, I’ll completely understand. No harm, no foul. We’ll just reconvene next week, and those of us, who still have them, can cross our fingers that next week the problem will be corrected.
TK-432: Dude! Is that any way to greet us? We’re your best buds, your Bro’s. How dare you suggest we may not have all our fingers. We’re the best in our units. We’re the few who actually know how to use our weapons properly!
TK-1110: Um, really? I think that was his failed attempt at humor, to lighten up the mood before he spills the beans about this supposed “slight problem” that’ll be a dealbreaker for tonight’s Movie Night.
TK-432: Oh, my bad. So, what is it? Vader is stopping by? Or the P, or his nephew? Or all of the above? What?
STB: Um, well… it seems the ship delivering supplies to the Mess Hall ran into a meteor shower, and the compartment containing the brewskies, among other things was compromised, and all its contents blew out into space. So, the only beverages left, stored in a different section of the ship, that I was able to order for tonight were water, milk, and these sodas. So, you see what I opted for.
TK-432: Is that the “slight problem” you thought would make us bail on Movie Night?
Tk-1110: Dude! As they say, no problema! No problem. Actually, it’s kind of a refreshing change of pace. Who knows, we might even remember some of tonight for a change.
STB: Now you’re the one making jokes. But, are you two serious? You’re actually OK with this unexpected menu change? You guys! You’re the bestest amigos ever!
TK-432: Meteor Schmeteor, it’s all good! Your supply chain hick-up was out of your control. These things happen. Let’s get this Movie Night started!

Incidents of Coronavirus (Apr 2021) fell up to March but are now steady or rising in some places in certain parts of England. Vaccination was going well but a shortfall in production across Europe is causing a slowdown in innoculation, and there are conflicts with the EU over supply and in the country over the possible side-effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine. There is also opposition to vaccination passports. Schools have opened and there are dates given for later stages of opening up. Since the March 2020 lock-down for Covid I have taken the opportunity to upload shots from before September 2010. In-between contemporary shots, I am uploading photos pre-SPNC, from the days of my old Olympus E-1/E-330/420. Not many are any good but the exercise has given me an opportunity to look back. One thing that has struck me is how limiting the effect of noise was when trying to take (very early) street shots at ISO 800 in relatively dark conditions. I still used zoom lenses quite a lot until SPNC and am glad to have been educated in the use of a wider angle lens.
Doing a lttle house cleaning when I came across this shot, one of many taken at Websters Falls last year. This taken as close the edge as I wanted to get as this is the start of a very long drop. These falls are just short of the height of Niagara Falls.

James's flamingos abound in the area. Also it is possible to find Andean and Chilean flamingos, but in a minor quantity.

Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, within Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve and close to the border with Chile.
The lake contains borax islands, whose white color contrasts with the reddish color of its waters, which is caused by red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.
Laguna Colorada is part of the Los Lípez (formerly Laguna Colorada) Ramsar wetland. It was listed as a "Ramsar Wetland of International Importance" in 1990.
On, July 13, 2009 the site was expanded from 513.18 to 14,277.17 km2 (5,512.45 sq mi) to include the surrounding high Andean endorheic, hypersaline and brackish lakes and associated wetlands (known as bofedales).

The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy just joined my Midi-Scale ship collection! Here comes the Millennium Falcon from Episode IV – A New Hope.
Made of 2,178 pieces, measuring only 34cm and weighing almost 1kg, this compact yet dense Falcon was another unique challenge at this scale. After seeing some great-looking Figscale MOCs of this tricky ship, I couldn't resist making a Midi version.
With this design, I took a different approach than most other Falcons out there, and wanted it to look as sleek and gapless as possible. This resulted in a pretty elaborate and unique mix of paneling techniques that involved a lot of SNOT building.
One of my priorities was to faithfully reproduce the curved saucer shape on both sides of the ship, and not only on top. As a result, the build features all the details and shapes of the original 1977 studio model, from top to bottom.
The overall thickness of the ship was another concern. I wanted it to be as thin as the original, while being able to sandwich some tasty greebles and even the hyperdrive engine bay inside the saucer.
The Falcon has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. It also includes a working ramp.
