This man or woman, i am really not sure =), was taking a shot of the sail.

i knew it because i was standing at the same position before i went up to take this shot.

“Here be dragons” means dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons, sea monsters and other mythological creatures on uncharted areas of maps where potential dangers were thought to exist.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_be_dragons

 

It may be that Medieval Map Makers wrote, “Here be dragons,” to indicate untold dangers and to warn away some exploration, or at least ask any such explorers to bring back a few line illustrations to update maps, charts and guides. When I say Dirleton Castle Here Be Dragons, I mean Dirleton Castle Here Be Dragons. The Dragon was posing for pictures and stating that Photoshop was allowed to bring out his armoured scale magnificence and to sparkle the light of gentle soft slightly flaming snores illuminating sleepily tinkling pillowed to perfection golden hoards of the past, the present and those yet to come within his eyes.

 

I saw the Dragon Eggs hatch and fly away for Winter and it is possible that the Dragon, as pictured here, may have flown away til Spring 2023. Please do ask if you are looking to see either The Dragon, as pictured here, or The Nest, either with, or without The Eggs. The Dragon, The Nest, The Eggs and The Man at Arms Presentations are all worth a visit for and along with them there is a Castle and Grounds that are superb.

The big cats at Smithsonian's National Zoo

Stanmer Park - Double exposure of the bluebells (1) and a tree (2) I need to read my manual and see which shot dominates and if I can change to lightness on different frames.

(So... I was spring cleaning our account and accidently deleted a bunch of axe throwing shots from last summer, so here they are again!)

As any self respecting Lenfel will tell you, one does not just become a master archer, rather it takes years of constant practice. Thus within Lenfald, a nation of master archers, scenes like this are extremely common. In the fields and forests, all over the nation, one can see archers, often of both sexes, practicing their skills just about anywhere.

"Practice makes perfect". When not deployed, Tier 1 operators from the Special Operations Group spend countless hours on the range to perfect their shooting.

A choir practice just before an event in Chester Cathedral. I wanted to get the contrast of the cool window and the warm tones of the tunics - and I think I achieved that. I wish I had taken my tripod though - this was handheld at 1000 ISO and, as a result, is noisy and a little soft but overall, I was pleased with it

Medical Friendly Shelter Full Scale Exercise 2018

 

The City held a full-scale exercise of the Medically Friendly Shelter (MFS) designed to establish a learning environment for participants to exercise their MFS operational plans.

The exercise served as a practical walk through of planning, operational coordination, operational communication, logistics and supply chain management, public health, healthcare, and emergency medical services

The MFS is only activated for a Category 2 or greater hurricane or as directed by the City Manager. The MFS is for people who, during periods of evacuation or emergency, require sheltering assistance due to physical, mental or cognitive impairment, or a sensory disability that exceeds the basic level of care provided at a general population shelter, but does not require the level of care provided at a skilled medical facility. This includes help with administering medication, personal hygiene assistance with activities of daily living (washing, dressing and eating).

I was going to pass on the op to shoot a practice session, but I'm kinda glad that I did.

Walking downtown I heard music. He was practicing in the stairwell for the acoustics.

I wonder who just won this fight?

These are common in tessellated masks but not so common anywhere else.

Tai-Chi practice. A night fooling around the "cité des sciences et de l'industrie", we heard some music near la Géode. The guy was there, under the bridge, practicing Tai-Chi and not caring about the people around him, pretty much like he was in his own sphere.

My first attempt at taking a solar image in preparation for what will be a partial solar eclipse here in Florida. Sunspot activity noted in the upper righthand corner.

Sketched quickly from the imagination (really just plop down the washes and let it go where it may). I'm using these to practice technique without getting "attached" to the work. I think I'll be doing quite a few of these for a while.
