It's possible the artist did two versions of the same cartoon. I always liked the idea that the cartoonist appreciated bald beauty. Maybe someone (wasn't me!) photoshopped the original. Who knows? Well done in any event.
Here is the sunrise view from Beinn Alligin in Torridon. This is from Tom Na Gruigach looking across to Sgurr Mor and the Horns of Alligin. On the right you can see the tent and my workshop client, Marie. I took great pride in pitching the tent as close to the edge as possible, the view from inside was excellent. Overnight we had a light frost which was a bit of a surprise for August. The sunrise was a fitting end to a trip which, up until the night before, had provided relatively few photographic opportunities.
Technically (for you photo geeks out there!) this is a panorama of 5 vertical images each bracketed at -1.5,0,+1.5, so 15 frames total. I used a Canon 6D and 16-35mm f4L IS at 24mm, f11, ISO 100. I processed the RAW files in Lightroom and used PTGui to produce 3 geometrically identical panoramas for the different exposures. I used Photoshop for final contrast adjustments and flare reduction. The final image is exceptionally sharp thanks largely to the new lens! If you want a processing tutorial then I run 1-on-1s via Skype.
Or is it a possible selfie? Manual strobe setup at photo club. I borrowed trigger (Nikon fit), set shutter to under 1/180s and flash fired. Got in pretty close and focused with OVF.
Yes, the fate of the elderly - to become one with our planet's mantle. Still ambulatory, though!
I farted... that's as close to giving a shit as I get.
Un fossile - oui, le destin des personnes âgées - ne faire qu'un avec le manteau de notre planète. Toujours ambulatoire, cependant!
J'ai pété... c'est aussi proche que possible de donner d'excrément.

Thought we needed a bit of brightness on this dull, wet day! The distinctive shape of Bat's Head at sunset.
Here's a link to my BLOG. New entry posted earlier this week.
I don't know how the game will end, but I think that Elizabeth's death is an option.
I think this moment should be beautiful and peaceful to some extent, because Elizabeth still gets the freedom : )

P.S. Big thank you to all visitors ... soon as possible I will thank you personally on your profile!
We just finished our hike across Bulgaria—650km following the Stara Planina / Balkan Ridge from Kom Peak in the west to Cape Emine on the Black Sea in the east—which took us 23 days, including one and a half rest days. I have to say, the hike exceeded expectations in every possible respect, and is surely one of the most underrated (and little known) established trails in Europe. We met only one fellow through-hiker on the trail, one non-Bulgarian, and no Americans, but we were treated with great hospitality everywhere we went and made many friends. Much more on the trail later, but for now we have a week of visiting and tourism before one last hike and an unavoidable return to reality in late August. Mrs Orca and friend, Eho Hut, Stara Planina, Kom-Emine Trail, Bulgaria.
Two weeks ago I discovered a trail along the riverbank of Arroyo Valle that led me uphill to the side of this house. The house looked abandoned and out of place there as it was obviously not part of the nearby Veteran Hospital Complex. I remember seeing some old aerial photos of the tuberculosis sanitarium and I had a hunch that this building could be part of the original complex. But of course I am speculating at this point since the sanitarium has long been torn down. From those old photos, I also discovered that the sanitarium complex covered a huge area with numerous small buildings flanking the main quarter. So this could be one of those small buildings in the outskirt of the complex. Regardless, the site of the main quarter has now become Camp Arroyo which is managed by East Bay Regional District. It is an environment education camp for young children in the Bay Area. But the local legend says that the original tuberculosis sanitarium was known to be haunted in the past and high school kids used to hang out around the abandoned buildings. In any case, this is a really quiet place where I don't see much foot traffic. On my day of visit, I only saw one couple who were also curious like me wandering about the hillside. I believe this spot where I stood taking this photo is still part of East Bay Regional Park District as there was a sign on the trail pointing to the adjacent Sycamore Regional Park. I think I will come back here and explore a bit more with my film cameras.

Only one I am really looking forward to here is the kashyyk battle pack.
They bring us back to the original ones from 2005! I loved those sets and even remember seeing them on sale when TRU had a midnight sale of StarSars Ep3 things.
This is an inverted Black and White frame showing Milkyway, Zodiacal Light, and Gegenschein. There looks to be a faint blob of light just south to Gegenschein on the frame. It looks bigger and fainter than Gegenschein. It may be backscattered sunlight at concentrated dust on the orbit of Moon around Earth, though I am not sure on the existence, origin, or mechanism. Is this merely an illusion due to surrounding dark nebulae? North is up, and east is to the left.

SQML was 21.85 at the night.
So, I was searching for quotes about love because of the graffiti on the wall behind me, and I came across this one below. I read it again, as I have before and the truth of so many of the things he said struck a cord with me. The thing is that Bob Marley said "only once in your life" this happens. I really hope he's wrong about that and that I'm lucky to have this kind of love in my life again.
I hope you're having a great weekend!! Mine is full, full, full and all photography-related, so that's fun!! I had a senior session this morning that went really well and I'm off shortly to go do head shots at my brother's lodge tonight. And tomorrow I'll be assisting on a fashion shoot with my friend, Pete.
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
~ Bob Marley

Simon Liu somehow you caught me.
Star wars is not a topic that I have a lot of knowledge about.
But who cares, they're spaceships.
I chose the good old republic with the classic Venator, and a few Jedi fighters with V-Wing fighter support.
The Venator is 30.5 studs long, the fighter ... well as small as it was possible for me.
I hope you all like my contribution.

Taking a break from poplar trees and fall colors. I took this December 2006 with the Canon Powershot S2 IS. Today I played around with it and made the finches' silhouettes instead of the dull colors they were (it was overcast). I left the branches and buds the way they were. I like the way they add depth.

Dundee Repertory Theatre or Dundee Rep is a theatre and arts company in the city of Dundee, Scotland. It operates as both a producing house - staging at least six of its own productions each year, and a receiving house - hosting work from visiting companies throughout Scotland and the United Kingdom including drama, musicals, contemporary & classical dance, children’s theatre, comedy, jazz and opera. It is home to the Dundee Rep Ensemble, Scotland’s only full-time company of actors, as well as Scotland’s principal contemporary dance company, Scottish Dance Theatre. ‘’’The Rep’’’ building is located in Tay Square at the centre of the city’s "cultural quarter" in the West End.
Recognised to be among the top regional theatres in the UK, it plays to an average audience of over 70,000 people a year attracting a very broad cross-section of the local population in terms of age and occupation.
History
Dundee has had a number of purpose built theatres. Apart from early wooden theatres, the Theatre Royal in Castle Street opened in 1810 and became firmly established from the 1840s until 1885 when the new Her Majesty’s Theatre and Opera House opened on the Seagate. Others included the Alhambra - renamed the Whitehall in the 1970s - the Palace, renamed the Theatre Royal in the 1960s, and the King's Theatre in the Cowgate which opened in 1908.[1] By around 1920 many theatres had converted into cinemas, and for most of the 1930s Dundee no longer had a designated drama theatre. Robert Thornely – Manager of the last touring company to perform in Dundee was determined to find a home in the city for his professional theatre company. He approached the Dundee Dramatic Society, an amateur company, who, also faced with nowhere to perform had recently purchased their own premises in the form of a disused jute mill. In May 1939 Dundee Repertory Theatre was founded as a collaboration between professionals with amateur support. Around this time people thought it strange to be concentrating on drama during the turmoil of World War II. However the company performed weekly repertory during the war and the rest of the 1940s and throughout the 1950s. The company was housed in Foresters' Hall (6 Nicoll street to 3 Rattray Street) which was built for the Ancient Order of Foresters in 1901, when in June 1963 a fire completely destroyed the building and the Rep was forced to live a nomadic existence for a short period. Eventually a temporary refuge was found in the converted former Dudhope Church on the Lochee Road of Dundee although the company remained at the venue for a further 18 years.
After negotiation with the City of Dundee District Council and the Scottish Arts Council it was agreed that the company would have its own purpose built premises on land donated by University of Dundee. Work began in January 1979 under the leadership of Robert Robertson who had been Artistic Director for a number of years and who was instrumental in overseeing the building and completion of the new theatre. However, the building work looked like being stopped in its tracks due to rising prices and inflation. A public appeal was launched which raised a massive £60,000 in under six weeks, reaching an eventual total of £200,000 outstripping all possible expectations, in a city that was then in the midst of economic recession. The new theatre opened on 8 April 1982, designed by Dundee-based architects Nicoll Russell Studios. The building proved a great success - with a personal 455-seater auditorium, providing one of the best stages in Scotland in terms of its relationship with its audience, it received a civic commendation from The Civic Trust Award in 1984 and in 1986 won the RIBA Architecture Award. Robert Robertson retired from Dundee Rep in 1990.
In April 1992 Hamish Glen was appointed Artistic Director, the same year saw the building extended and undertook a major refurbishment to facilitate a growing community and education department and to include a dance studio as well as extending its existing workshop, wardrobe and rehearsal capacity. In 1996 it received the prestigious TMA Martini Award for the Best Overall Production in the UK and in September 1999 it opened its doors to one of the most ambitious experiments in Scottish Theatre for many years – a permanent company of 14 actors.
James Brining became Artistic Director in 2003 and during that time the company created over 50 productions. The Ensemble developed its international reputation, being the first UK company to tour to Iran in 30 years with Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. In 2005, it visited the prestigious Cerventino Festival in Mexico with a new version of Jarry’s Ubu the King and in 2006 it took David Greig’s Dr Korzcak’s Example to Tokyo and Hiroshima. The company has developed co-productions with some of the UK’s leading producers including the Barbican, the Young Vic, National Theatre of Scotland, Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, The Traverse Theatre Company, Paines Plough and the Tron Theatre, performing in all of Scotland’s major venues. The repertoire was broad, encompassing Shakespeare, musicals, American classics, new plays and work for children and young people. In 2007 Dundee Rep Ensemble created Sunshine on Leith featuring the music of The Proclaimers. It soon became a Scottish favourite and has been seen by more than 200,000 people. In 2013 a film version of the musical preimered at the Toronto Film Festival.
In May 2012 it was announced that Fleur Darkin was to become the new Artistic Director of Scottish Dance Theatre. Shortly after this it was announced that current Associate Director Jemima Levick and former Artistic Director of The Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh would share the position of Joint Artistic Directors of Dundee Rep Theatre as of February 2013.
Since then Dundee Rep have teamed up with National Theatre of Scotland to present the World Première of the cult classic Let The Right One In, collaborated with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh with Time and the Conways, presented the Scottish Premiere of David Greig’s Victoria.
The Rep is now home to over 20 resident performers who are rooted in the region but are nationally and internationally orientated. As the theatre grows, so does the ambition. Now the most awarded theatre in Scotland and with more Ensemble and Scottish Dance Theatre performances than ever before, Dundee Rep Theatre has cemented itself as one of the leading producing theatres in the UK.
In September 2018 it was reported that the Rep was considering leaving its current building for new purpose built premises. The Rep's artistic director Andrew Panton stated that it had outgrown its present home and that the building needed a lot of work. Panton suggested that a newly built theatre should be able to seat 800 to 1000 people (as opposed to the current building's capacity of about 400) and have greater flexibility to be able to house different sizes of audience. He suggested that this could tie in to the Rep's 80th anniversary celebrations in 2019 and be the next major cultural project in Dundee following the completion and opening of V&A Dundee in 2018.
The Rep Ensemble
The Rep Ensemble as of 2010 approaches the start of its twelfth year, having proven to be a long term success after performing numerous successful productions, including a yearly Christmas pantomime as well as challenging renditions of famous plays such as A Doll's House and The Elephant Man. The presence of the Ensemble at the Theatre allows for the organisation of workshops, readings, and other ways of reaching out to the community that would simply not be possible for a theatre without an official troupe of actors. It also allowed for the production of Sunshine on Leith, the successful musical that has been on tour three times now. The Rep Ensemble has won numerous awards and continues to further the ambition Hamish Glen had for the project, with performances in 2011 of The Rise & Fall of Little Voice and Anna Karenina.
The Rep Today
In Spring 2003 James Brining and Dominic Hill replaced Hamish Glen as joint Artistic Directors. Since then the theatre's work has been seen locally, elsewhere in Scotland and further afield. In the 2004 Critics Awards For Theatre In Scotland (CATS), Dundee Rep 5 awards – Best Production (Scenes From An Execution), Best Director (Dominic Hill for ‘Scenes...’), Best Actor (John Bett), Best Design & Best Music (both for ‘Twelfth Night’) as well as five other nominations. In 2004 a new £1 million dance studio was completed to house Scottish Dance Theatre. The Rep's in-house productions offer a repertoire of acclaimed works. The Rep also commissions playwrights to create new works and translate and adapt classical texts, making it relevant to Scotland’s contemporary cultural and social climate.
A recent venture was the tour of its production of The Winter's Tale to Iran under the auspices of the British Council's five year initiative 'Connecting Futures'. This was the first major cultural event to be shown in Iran for 25 years, and the first ever British Council theatre tour to Iran. The set was built entirely in Iran, under the direction of John Miller, the company's production manager and played at the Vahdat Hall, Tehran.
In May 2015 Dundee Repertory Theatre appointed Nick Parr as its new chief executive officer. He took over from Philip Howard, who held the joint roles of CEO and, with Jemima Levick, joint artistic director. He leads Dundee Rep Theatre Ltd solely in the role of chief executive, working alongside Levick as sole artistic director and Fleur Darkin who is artistic director of Scottish Dance Theatre. Levick left the Dundee Repertory Theatre in 2016.
Levick was replaced by Joe Douglas in April 2016 in the role of Associate Artistic Director.
In July 2016 Andrew Panton was appointed new Artistic Director at Dundee Rep to take over from Douglas in the Autumn of 2017.

shot at esplanade garden roof, my first time taking exposure scenery shots, didnt know that exposure shots iso must be as low as possible, well, learnt my lessons =)
a little too over exposed and noisy =(
critique me, i need them =)
this was taken using EF 18-55mm F3.5-5.6
anyway, will not be really uploading photos for the next 4 months or so, due to exams and o levels (not as if my photos are darn nice or what but still)
will be back after november, but will occasionally post some pictures =)
HAHA THIS WENT ON EXPLORE AND DROPPED OUT. shows how lousy it is XD
A possible sign of the times we live in. We are not necessarily a Godless society anymore; its just that some of the old certainties are somewhat strained. Taken at a local car-boot sale.
What is incredibly interesting about this photo is at first thought you wonder what is such a generous church doing on a prison property. then you realize that being in the shadow of the tower no one could contemplate escape. but thats exactly what happened in 1995. On January 2nd 6 inmates escaped from a tunnel underneath this church that they were digging for who knows how long while they were helping construct this church , one was immediately caught when a guard saw them running, they split up but one by one they were all caught, the longest one on the loose Juan Flietas captured in Mexico august 3d 1997 shot by police after someone recognized him from Americas most wanted. much more to this story but Ill keep it short and sweet. As much as I dislike Arista EDU film it did a good job rendering the gritty detail in this brick building.

CSX C40-8W 7712 leads an eastbound out of Bensenville onto the Indiana Harbor Belt connection at B12 in 2005.
This trackage has since been ripped up and the connection between CP and the Harbor was moved further east when the town built an underpass on Grand Avenue in an attempt to ease traffic congestion from the grade crossing.

Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park. The board walk and all of the people are out of this frame. We just walked around the side on a path and were able to get this shot that looks deserted even though there were hundreds watching. Some burned trees from the 1988 Yellowstone fires are visible in the distance. This shows how close the fires came to the Old Faithful area.
