You have to take a moment
to understand the pressure
some folks feel about being binary.
Darlene didn’t care to wear
bows in their hair
or fancy dresses to any formal party.
They mainly just wanted to roam around the town
and breathe fire all day.
We couldn’t really blame Darlene
after all, it looked quite fun-like play
Darlene seemed rather invigorated
because there were a lot of concepts
that really needed to be incinerated.

DESCRIPTION:
When we take a picture during a sunset , usually we are attracted by the bright colors we see in the west and rarely point the camera in the opposite direction, towards the east. Yet, if the condition are favorable (clear and transparent sky ) the show we would see would be just as beautiful. This photo, taken by Acireale, a city of Sicily located on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea , wants to be a testimony. The color element that dominates and characterizes it is the pink band extended for about 20 degrees above the horizon, known as “ the belt of Venus”.
The belt of Venus is an atmospheric phenomenon due to backscattering of the red sunlight at sunset by the particles of the atmosphere that are on the opposite side of the sun.
Near the horizon, due to the shadow projected by the Earth, the belt progressively decreases in brightness and color until it disappears completely.
The phenomenon lasts a few minutes and is visible even at down, just before sunrise.
I was really drawn to this progression of colours, and I think the lensbaby really emphasizes it.
I barley touched this image :)

I liked this frame of the Annapurna lit in the morning light as it shows how from right to left the life sustaining nature of the mountains change. Annapurna has one of the high number of climbing fatalities in the world, however as one comes little further away from it, the green cover is better and also life sustaining. I also love how this image is tricking us to believe that all the mountains in it are of the same height, while in reality, Annapurna towers above them as the 10th highest mountain at 8,091m

Have a great week FRIENDS!!
1293003 and its train bringing a splash of colour to the bare landscape as it passes Szár with a full train of predominantly MSc containers.
The purists may note that as OBB Vectrons are going through revisions at Linz, they are progressively gaining numbers below the cab windows rather than above as they were delivered. Thankfully they also slightly bigger and less likely to get covered in dirt!
Went looking for fireworks but saw this instead. Parked at the West Terminal in Bloomington MN. Decided to get both sides
The Hope Memorial Bridge connects Lorain Avenue on Cleveland's west side and Carnegie Avenue on the east side, terminating just short of Progressive Field. It was built in 1932.

Thank you for your kind comments! This is my first attempt in using HDR, and I am very happy to receive such positive responds.
For those who have no ideas over HDR, you may visit Wikipedia on HDR for further information on what and how to create HDR. The article also suggests ideal software to be used. Currently I am using photomatix and photoshop CS 2. I am not an expert to this field, so I can only refer you this information that has enable me to HDR processing. It is a cool tool to digitalised world! I am very much welcome to this trend and I think it is a very brilliant tool. It gives you other perspective towards digital photography processing.
Hope this information helps you to create progressive HDR photos! Good luck!
This week I posted also a topview shot of a similar immature fungus 'Chondrostereum purpureum' and after a few days I went back to see how it was developing, but it was gone already.
Luckily there were other immature ones. I choose this one to follow. I must say that I like this beginning appearance very much. ;-)
After a few days this one looks like this.
"Silver leaf is a fungal disease of trees caused by the fungus plant pathogen Chondrostereum purpureum. It attacks most species of the rose family Rosaceae, particularly the genus Prunus. The disease is progressive and often fatal. The common name is taken from the progressive silvering of leaves on affected branches. It is spread by airborne spores landing on freshly exposed sapwood. For this reason cherries and plums are pruned in summer, when spores are least likely to be present and when disease is visible. Silver Leaf can also happen on poming fruits like apples and pears. Plums are especially vulnerable.
In the past the name Stereum purpureum Pers. was widely used for this fungus, but according to modern taxonomy it is only distantly related to Stereum, actually belonging to order Agaricales whereas Stereum is in order Russulales.
After starting as just a crust on the wood, the fruiting structure develops undulating intergrowing brackets up to about 3 cm broad, which have a tough rubbery texture. The edges and fertile lower surfaces show a fairly vivid violet colour while the fungus is growing, and the upper surfaces have a grey aspect (sometimes with zonation) and are covered with whitish hairs. After a week or two the fructification dries out, becomes brittle, and turns a drab brown or beige. Infected wood can be recognized because it is stained a darker tint.
The spores are rounded cylinders approximately 5-8 µm x 3-4 µm in size. The hyphal structure is monomitic with clamp connections.
It is often found on old stumps and dead wood, but can also be a serious parasite of living trees. As well as plum trees it attacks many other broad-leafed species (other Prunus, apple, pear, willow, poplar, maple, hornbeam, plane, oak, elm, lilac, and many others).Occasionally it also infects conifers (fir, spruce, Thuja, ...).Geographically it is roughly speaking just as widespread as its hosts - it is common in woods, orchards and tree plantations in temperate climates.
Chondrostereum purpureum is commercially available as a method of combatting forest "weed" trees such as red alder, aspens and other species.The fungus is applied directly to the weed trees in a nutrient paste which can be stored and handled conveniently. According to a report of the Canadian Pest Management Agency, the use of this control method will only have a limited impact on non-target trees since the fungal spores are ubiquitous anyway and healthy trees are resistant to attack." - WiKi
"De paarse korstzwam (Chondrostereum purpureum), purperkorstzwam of loodglansschimmel is een paddenstoel uit de familie Cyphellaceae. De soort lijkt op een elfenbankje, maar is paars en aan de rand wit gekleurd. De randen zijn golvend en wit donzig behaard. De onderzijde is glad, donkerbruin of bruin-violet tot bruin. De paddenstoel wordt carpophores genoemd en wordt in de herfst gevormd bij een hoge relatieve luchtvochtigheid met veel regen, mist of dauw en een temperatuur van 10 °C. Hieruit ontstaan de basidiosporen, die bij infectie via wonden loodglans veroorzaken. Zo genoemd omdat de bladeren een loodachtige kleur krijgen als de schimmel de boom heeft aangetast.
De purperkorstzwam wordt gevonden als saprofyt op dood hout van allerlei loofbomen en als parasiet op levende bomen en struiken uit de rozenfamilie. Het veroorzaakt op vruchtbomen loodglansziekte, onder andere bij de pruim en kers. De purperkorstzwam komt het gehele jaar voor en is een algemene verschijning.
Het vruchtlichaam heeft een doorsnede van 2-4 cm, is dun en leerachtig. De korsten hebben een opstaande rand. De bovenkant is voorzien van groeven, is viltig en licht grijsachtig geelbruin. De onderkant is lila tot purperkleurig. Later wordt de onderkant meer bruinachtig. Bij een korst zit het hymenium aan de bovenzijde en is aan de violette kleur te herkennen.
De paarse korstzwam wordt gebruikt voor de bestrijding van de Amerikaanse vogelkers. Op de afgezaagde stobben worden de sporen van de schimmel gesmeerd en zodra de schimmel de wortels bereikt heeft gaat de boom dood." - WiKi
Art at the dike near Lelystad, by Antony Gormley. Explored! #69
This is what the artists says about his work 'Exposure' (2010) "My concept of how sculpture works in the landscape is that it is a still point in a moving world. The whole idea of EXPOSURE is that this work, made at a particular time, rooted to ground, reacts over time to the changing environment. One of the known environmental changes that is happening is the rising of the sea level through global warming. It is critical to me that at the time of its making this work reacts with the viewer, the walking viewer, on the top of the polder and that the surface that the viewer stands on is the surface that the work stands on. The work cannot have a plinth. Over time, should the rising of the sea level mean that there has to be a rising of the dike, this means that there should be a progressive burying of the work."
After Gyula Holics. He photographed on film common objects in simple and complex lighting to explore the interplay of shape and light.
Whilst in Brittany, after the dish washing, I explored the same by lowering the kitchen blind progressively to control the outdoor evening light by intensity and direction.
