The shrimp boat pulled in and the guys went inside the building leaving the hatch open..;) The birds didn't seem to mind me being there.
Is it just me, or have people just started taking more pictures of there eye balls..;) Kind a creeps me out , looking into someone's eye ball
Also, I've been looking at all your show shots and I decided I'm going to stay here in Central Texas..:) We don't see 4 seasons but Thursday, it's going to be 78 degrees Fahrenheit..;) and I'm OK with that
On Thursday, I have my
Colonoscopy Procedure, so I won't be having fun in the sun. The 3 days of prep are the worst part. No raw fruit, vegetables or nuts. That's what I eat everyday. I had to go to the store and find food I could eat for the next couple of days

Same procedure as last week... I wasn't really happy with any of my images, and took several more (of the same subject) today, but in the end I decided to stick to an image taken last night. It's strange sometimes, isn't it? So here we go, circles, or rather holes of a reduction sieve (?) that came with my espresso maker. Each of the holes has a diameter of 1 mm / 0,03 inches. I wanted a very narrow focal plane and everything else as bokeh, and in that I guess I've succeeded – somehow. Well, I hope you like the image anyway, I've looked at it too many times yesterday and today, so I can't see the forest for the trees (or the coffee for the holes) :)
It's a single image illuminated with one LED lamp (equipped with the blue tealight holder), and backlight coming from another LED lamp (equipped with the yellow plastic bottle cap) on which I had also placed the sieve. Processed in DXO and Color Efex where I'd slightly tweaked the colours by adding some warmth with the Reflector Efex Gold filter.
HMM, Everyone!
...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark
The same procedure as with the previous print, this time on Fomatone 131.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The same procedure as every year ... "Look, what a beautiful little tree ... come on, let's cut it off and slowly kill it in the dry apartment and when it's no longer nice, then we throw it in front of the door, someone will take care of it" ... 😈

Everything went well yesterday. The procedure itself was extremely painful because of the diverticular disease in my colon but I am glad to report that it was nothing nastier than that - phew!
Came home and had a cuddle with the cats and all was well again.
Blimme it is cold here today. Minus 5 when I came out of the house this morning.
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Wishing you a warm and cosy weekend

This is the statue on top of the Court House in Georgetown, Texas. I searched the Internet to find out more about her. Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods. Interestingly, the blind fold and sword weren't added until around the 16th century. I couldn't find out what the blindfold represents. Here's some info from Wikipedia

Statue of Themis, Chuo University, Japan.
The personification of abstract concepts is characteristic of the greeks.|date=October 2015}} The ability of the goddess Themis to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the Oracles of Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.
Some classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded, nor was she holding a sword. The sword is also believed to represent the ability Themis had from cutting fact from fiction; to her there was no middle ground. Themis built the Oracle at Delphi and was herself oracular. According to another legend, Themis received the Oracle at Delphi from Gaia and later gave it to Phoebe.[4]
When Themis is disregarded, Nemesis brings just and wrathful retribution; thus Themis shared the Nemesion temple at Rhamnous. Themis is not wrathful: she, "of the lovely cheeks", was the first to offer Hera a cup when she returned to Olympus distraught over threats from Zeus.[5]
Themis presided over the proper relation between man and woman, the basis of the rightly ordered family (the family was seen as the pillar of the deme), and judges were often referred to as "themistopóloi" (the servants of Themis). Such was also the basis for order upon Olympus. Even Hera addressed her as "Lady Themis." The name of Themis might be substituted for Adrasteia in telling of the birth of Zeus on Crete.
Themis was present at Delos to witness the birth of Apollo. According to Ovid, it was Themis rather than Zeus who told Deucalion to throw the bones of "his Mother" over his shoulder to create a new race of humankind after the deluge.
Hesiod's description and contrast to Dike[edit]
In Greek mythology, Hesiod mentions[6] Themis among the six sons and six daughters of Gaia and Uranus (Earth and Sky). Among these Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times.
Themis occurred in Hesiod's Theogony as the first recorded appearance of Justice as a divine personage. Drawing not only on the socio-religious consciousness of his time but also on many of the earlier cult-religions, Hesiod described the forces of the universe as cosmic divinities. Hesiod portrayed temporal justice, Dike, as the daughter of Zeus and Themis.
Dike executed the law of judgments and sentencing and, together with her mother Themis, carried out the final decisions of Moirai. For Hesiod, Justice is at the center of religious and moral life, who, independently of Zeus, is the embodiment of divine will. This personification of Dike will stand in contrast to justice viewed as custom or law, and as retribution or sentence.[7]
The tours are well organized and prepared for emergencies. They have procedures to evacuate tourists for emergencies or claustrophobic anxieties. They DO NOT ALLOW tripods, monopods, or selfie sticks. They have apparently had problems with tourists.
This is an amazing place. Every turn shows a new amazing, colorful, glowing, canvas. It was easy to take lots of photos. The tough part was culling the photos when I got home.
There were 9 people (representing 4 families) and a guide in our group. The tours are a little under an hour from start to finish. We were the first of 4 or 5 groups in our time slot. The sent us in about 10 minutes apart. The guide is very informative and educational. There was some pressure to keep the group moving. The guide was helpful and took pictures of the families several times during the tour.

The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdez twazi’, which means “the spiral role arches.” Lower Antelope Canyon is about 3, 704 feet in elevation and the canyon walls are about 120 above the streambed. This canyon is more narrow to walk through, as it’s shaped like a “V”, so if you are claustrophobic this area is not for you. It goes into the slot canyon and have to maneuver thru closely on stairs, which is harder to walk through. This area is also located within the Le Chee Chapter of the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona.

I’m sitting here at my desk wondering what to write and I’m struggling. Most of the time I like to accompany my photos with some sort of chatter. Sometimes it’s about the photo but most of the time it has nothing at all to do with. I do this mainly to keep my writing brain active, which I must admit a talent I’ve always been poor at. Suffering from a level of dyslexia English was a totally failed subject at school, It was a skill I did not need the first part of my working life as a mechanical fitter, It also did not hinder me in my switch of careers into Information Technology (IT). However as I moved into management the more I needed to write, the word processor and spell checker came to my rescue as it was painful to be referring to a dictionary for every other word, even so I know when I read this back the spelling and wrong or missing words will be most evident along with poor gramma. So now I write drivel and it’s OK if you don’t read it, it’s for me as is the photo. At the moment I’m looking at instructions entitled “Pelvic Floor Exercises for Men”. I should have been doing these exercises the last 11 months waiting for my prostate procedure, but I haven’t. This is not out of laziness more from an inability to be convinced I’m doing the exercise properly as I’m still struggling to identify the muscle in question. Now with just over a fortnight to go before I go under the laser I’m resigned to not be prepared in that department and the foreseen circumstances. Anyway a little about the photo. When the storm was upon us and everything seemed lost the heavens opened and a messenger appeared. it’s all there in my imagination and photo.
A trio of female southern white rhinoceroses at Longleat Safari Park is playing a crucial role in a desperate race against time to save the northern white rhino from extinction
A team of international scientists is attempting to save the
sub-species, which is down to its last two surviving individuals, from disappearing forever by using assisted reproductive technologies and stem-cell associated techniques.
Eggs collected from Razina, Ebun and Murashi at Longleat will be used as part of the ground-breaking scientific work to create viable northern white rhino offspring.
Initially it is hoped embryos created from their eggs will be implanted into surrogate southern white rhino mothers in the first stage of a plan which aims to effectively resurrect the northern white rhinos’ dying bloodline.
Longleat is the first UK-based zoological collection to be involved in this ground-breaking project, with a number of other zoos in mainland Europe also participating.
“The aim is to use eggs collected from our females, fertilise them in vitro, and then implant them into surrogate female southern white rhinos at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya,” said Longleat’s lead rhino keeper Leah Russell.
“If this proves successful, they will then attempt implanting 12 pure northern rhino embryos, which have been fertilised with frozen sperm from deceased males, into southern surrogates,” she added.
The BioRescue research consortium (www.biorescue.org) is being led by Professor Thomas Hildebrandt, who is head of the Department of Reproduction Management at Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) and Professor of Wildlife Reproduction Medicine at Freie Universität Berlin.
“BioRescue is such a challenging and complex conservation science project. Therefore, it is really important that we are joined by competent international partners such as Longleat to master this ambitious mission,” said Professor Thomas Hildebrandt.
Once the eggs are extracted, Professor Hildebrandt and his team will have a race against time to get them back to the Avantea laboratory in Italy where they will be fertilised using sperm from a male white rhino, prior to being flown to Africa for the implantation procedures.
The northern white rhino is a subspecies of white rhino, which used to range over parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Years of widespread poaching and civil war in their home range have devastated northern white rhino populations, and they are now considered to be extinct in the wild.
The two surviving northern white rhinos Fatu and Najin, both females, live under 24-hour armed guard on the 360 km² Ol Pejeta Conservancy, near Mount Kenya.
Sudan, the last surviving male northern white rhinoceros, died of an age-related illness at Ol Pejeta on the 19th of March, 2018.
If the treatment proves successful it is hoped it could also be used, alongside conservation programmes, to help boost numbers of other highly endangered species
Information by Longleat Safari Park.
Lubrication information tag hanging from the speed-control pull-chain of a mid-to-late 1950s-vintage Fresh'nd-Aire air circulator (the Successor to the Fan, as the tag boasts), about 2½" (63.5mm) tall. (I haven't yet posted a picture of the unit by itself, but it can be seen here; it has long since been relocated since I took that shot.)
I'll confess...even though this fan (sorry, air circulator) sees regular summertime use, I hadn't lubricated it in about fifteen years. Back when I first put it in service, I lubricated it with synthetic automatic transmission fluid instead of the oil recommended on the tag. Over the years, I noticed no performance loss. Since I had the unit apart on my workbench to clean off the accumulated dust inside and out before the photoshoot, I gave the bearings fresh squirts of ATF to keep the air circulator going for many years to come..
By the way, I couldn't help but search the address on the tag to see what became of the factory. It is now the site of an apartment building.
🇫🇷 Suivant la procédure habituelle des Seldjoukides, une basilique chrétienne sur le site fut convertie en mosquée après la capture de la cité en 1080.

Same procedure as last time. Still going through the archives and still finding images worth processing. Again a first version, tomorrow or at the weekend I'll take a final look and do a print to see if I need to refine.
This year we went to the same place but the light didn't come close to what I saw that morning, one year ago. I will try again next year :-)
cheers

D&M rests out a quiet Sunday afternoon at Cheboygan. The Cheboygan switch crew didn't normally work Sunday or if they did it was usually a very short day and 469 is parked in front of the engine house with the stack "capped" for the weekend. The piece of plywood with a good sized rock to hold it down was fairly common procedure if a unit was left outside at Cheboygan during the warmer months of the year. May 4,1980.
La foto es solo una excusa, una herramienta para hacer extensivo el mensaje, ¡ no es publicidad !, no es un engaño , es solamente un grito desesperado para conseguir un fin , salvar el que es uno de los entornos man singulares a nivel europeo mundial y desde luego único en España . Desconocido por muchos y maltratado por otros durante décadas de crecimiento urbanístico y expansión agrícola descontrolada. Si esperamos que lo salven los gobernantes ya esta acabado. Nos toca aportar y lo tenemos muy facil solamente con una firma “física” en alguno puntos señalado en el mapa del enlace para conseguir que el Mar Menor tenga personalidad jurídica lo que ayudara a agilizar los tramites para su defensa y conservación.
Firma y haz correr la voz porque es de todos
The photo is only an excuse, a tool to spread the message, it is not advertising! It is not a hoax, it is only a desperate cry to achieve an end, to save what is one of the most unique environments in Europe worldwide. and of course unique in Spain. Unknown to many and mistreated by others during decades of urban growth and uncontrolled agricultural expansion. If we wait for the rulers to save it, it is finished. We have to contribute and we have it very easy only with a "physical" signature at some point indicated on the link map to ensure that the Mar Menor has legal personality, which will help speed up the procedures for its defense and conservation.
Sign and spread the word because it belongs to everyone
