Je n'ai pas boudé mon plaisir de photographier sous toutes les coutures cette fresque murale sur le thème de la Commune de Paris, rue de la ferme Savy (où furent situées les dernières barricades), au bas du parc de Belleville à Paris. Une fresque réalisée à l'occasion des 150 ans de la Commune par l'artiste Question Mark (projet des Amies et Amis de la Commune)
Well truth be told, I don't have any fictitious figures lying around the house. I looked just about everywhere and nothing. My friend Helen is hosting the Macro Mondays group this week so I wanted to come up with something for the theme. I decided it was time to widen the search, my son Daniel happened to be home so it was time to see what he had. Well Daniel has all kinds of fictitious action figures that come as models and he assembles. Both my son's grew up in the war gaming world, my one son designs them for a living and Daniel enjoys putting them together. I chose Unicorn, a derivation of the original Gundam, a little warrior ready for battle. I'm good with that and that's the extent of my knowledge so please no questions. I will add you're looking at 1.5 inches from the tip of his helmet wing thing to the bottom of the red marking on the shield he's holding. Shot with one light off to the left and some fairy lights in the back, for my good bokeh friends, sorry no bubbles from the Voigtlander...
Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR, shot @ f/4.0, 31 Layer Focus Stack Rendered w/Helicon Focus, (B,R5,S3).
Traveling to Yosemite valley during the winter is a must see in a lifetime event, and I hadn't done it yet. I was watching the weather forecasts, and saw that a storm was coming in for the Christmas break, as luck would have it, I had decided to stay local in San Francisco this year, and the obvious choice of where to spend the holiday was based on the storm. The only question I had was how heavy it would be... I was expecting at least a foot based on forecasts, and as I was driving late into the night, I was a bit worried. Needless to say when I got to the pass on 120 there was a good amount of snow, but thankfully the snow plows had been running all day, and it was packed pretty well. The real danger isn't snow, it's ice, so this was pretty straight forward driving.
Coming into the valley into a snow storm at night by yourself can be somewhat unnerving, even for an experienced outdoorsman like myself. That being said I made a mistake not just shooting straight up to Tunnel view. Unbelievably, the storm cleared in the matter of an hour or two during the night. When I went up at 5 am it was nearly clear skies for astro, and I realized quickly that the tunnel floods the valley with an orange light, so night shots from Tunnel View are nearly impossible. I may post these shots regardless, as in a way, they are kind of cool and serene, even with the light pollution. But the real gem this weekend was during Christmas day and inspired by a post I saw by @rayophotography13 - I mean who doesn't know the famous sentinel bridge but something about that spot with a snow covering is just magical. So I took a wide view late in the day during the golden hour, and came out with what you see here.

“Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can't always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith.”

Adrienne gathered a few things, having no idea what might be needed or for how long. She pulled on her sweatshirt, her mind still swimming with unanswered questions.
“Who are they—the men that are after me… us?”
Kayla met her gaze, her expression serious. “I’ll explain everything soon. But they’re not men. They only look that way so they can be among humans can hide what they really are. They can look any way they like”
Adrienne swallowed hard.
“Then… what are they?”
Kayla hesitated, just for a moment. “They’re descendants of the Earth’s original inhabitants. In their true form, they’re reptilian—very dangerous, cunning, and completely ruthless.” She exhaled sharply. “They want the power the VDD gives us, but the device doesn’t work for them. They need a jumper—like us—to operate it.”
Adrienne’s pulse quickened. “And you said I was ‘one of us.’ What does that mean?”
Kayla’s focus remained locked on the window, scanning the street outside. “Forget everything you think you know about history and the story of mankind. Our ancestors arrived on earth millions of years ago—long before recorded history. You’re living in the fourth great civilization. But the reptilians… they control almost everything again.”
“You, I, are both are of the ancient bloodline of the Jahri.”, continued Kayla. “Only people like us can access the power of the VDD”.
Before Adrienne could process the revelation, both girls sensed danger. Then the sudden creak of the back door shattered the moment.
Both girls spun around.
“They’re here!” Kayla hissed. “Time to jump. Take my hand—just like before!”
And in an instant, they vanished.

I really want to make X-Men related figures & I'm wondering how I should do these two characters. If I do a big fig, will it be too big? But I feel if I do it like a regular minifigure, it'll be too small, & I really don't want to do the
Question:
Is model release needed from the person captured in street shots which are not used commercially?
There was a street shot posted by my nephew: HERE. The person captured in the photo was pretty furious with that post and requested to have it removed from his Flickr site.
My nephew has removed it from his photostream out of respect for her.
I hope to take this opportunity to seek your opinion about our right in terms of photographing human subject on the street.

This is one of my favorite butterfly photos due to its rare appearance. I have only seen this species in our garden in 2014, 2015, and 2019. Now, it seems that even the most common butterflies are rare to see.
The questions continue...
You might remember this little hole in a fence post at St Cyrus. A few weeks ago, I'd noticed a couple of male leafcutter bees on these posts, so on another visit I looked for nest holes in the posts, and was thrilled to find one occupied hole, but was then surprised to see that it was occupied not by a bee, but by a digger wasp (`Flick' back about 10 images in my stream). Since then, when I've been at St Cyrus, I've keenly looked in on the digger wasp as I passed; it was there every day I checked. Yesterday, after a break of about 6 days, I think, I was back and checked the post to find not the digger wasp but a cute bee in the same hole! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, so this is a quick snap on my phone.
I'm curious about what's gone on here; could they both be using the same hole?; did the wasp move out naturally, and then the bee moved in?; did the bee evict the wasp?; is one a parasite?; are they both nesting?; was one or both using it as shelter?
I'm also not sure what type of bee this is. The leafcutters I saw (a few photos in my recent uploads) have now been kindly IDd by the expert Steven Falk, as one of the rarer leafcutters, the black-headed leafcutter bee (Megachile circumcincta). This could be a female (according to his book, they usually nest in sandy ground, but have also been reported to nest in wood), but that's a wild guess.
So much to learn :D

Heartbreaking scene of Prague beggars, so humble on their knees.
These who give certainly feel relieve and these who don't turn their head away.
The question remains: do people beg where there is no other alternative or where other people are willing to help.
Our planet is need of balance. Balance of our use of it, balance of our dependence on it, balance of exploitation of it. Balance of its wildlife, its resources, its land, its sea, its air. It's all a question of balance.
through the looking glass
so I have some questions for you guys, I would really like to be more interactive with the people who follow my work so I was thinking, how can I make my stream and my work process more exciting for you?
I just want to show my appreciation and also make my work accessible and personable, not just something you briefly stare at and then veer away from. I want to give you more
I have some suggestions, if you think any of them sound interesting, let me know!
1. giveaways (who would say no to a giveaway though, I mean really)
2. group critiques via video chat or webchat, show works in progress, get input from other photographers
3. photoshop tutorials, free or reasonably priced actions (free is always better, of course)
4. before/after images
5. behind the scenes videos
if you have any suggestions or like any of these, let me know, I just want to love you guys, basically, and help you grow and let you help me grow and just become a big happy family
okay byeeeeeee
Question: The Lord has created all this, has He not? What
was created first? It is said light or sound was created first.
Answer: All these things, which you say have been created
have to be seen by you before you say they exist. There must
be a seer. If you find out who that seer is, then you will know
about creation and which was created first. Of course various
theories as to what came into existence first from God are given
out. Most, including scientists, agree that all has come from
light and sound.
Question: Can we call anything created, like this piece of
wood, for example, God? It is said it is very wrong to do so.
Answer: Even this piece of wood, does it exist apart from
God? Can we confine God to any time or place, since He is
everywhere and in everything? We should not see anything as
apart from God. That is all.

I tag everyone who hasn't done this!!
Whenever I dig into my old stuff the question always creeps into my head, "What would I tell that kid if I could tell him anything?"
You are going to do OK for yourself but in a quiet, unspectacular way. He (I) already knew that. In fact I took that for granted.
You are going to lose people that mean the world to you and you will never stop grieving for them. I knew that too ( we all do ) but I would have never admitted as much, preferring to only recognize those bitter truths as I was being run over by them.
I suppose I couldn't resist giving some sage advice but I wouldn't listen to myself. I remember making a point of not acting on good advice when dispensed by anyone professing to know what life was really about.
All in all it's a good thing time travel isn't possible. Aside from being freaked out by my wrinkly old self showing up to tell me crap I knew but didn't have the courage to act on, I would have been angered that all the suspense and mystery had just been taken out of life. For all the effort that goes into fiction about jumping back or ahead in time I think it is good that we have to crunch along alone without the aid of a nebbish future self showing up every so often to whine and moan about how I'm so lacking in ambition. I'm peeved at myself right now just for thinking up the thought of it.
I first put this together in 2012. Today I thought about it and made an effort to find the original images. 1974 was taken with a Canon F1 and a 50mm f1.4. 2012 was taken with a Pentax K10D and the 18-55 kit lens. In 2012 I used Gimp to stack the images. This time around I used Affinity Photo.
A question to all my followers playing Horizon 4: Are you one of these people who just maxes every single car you own, so you can then drive around spamming head-to-head challenges at cars 3 or 4 classes slower than yours?
If you answered yes, why do you bother? It looks no fun at all and most of the people who do it, can't even drive the awful cars they've built (or auto-built). I dunno about you but I start getting frustrated when my car always understeers on every corner while also being uncontrollable when I get on the throttle. These idiots seem to make all their cars behave that way on purpose. I'm really glad collisions are turned off
Whose on the Other End?
In life we reach out often to those that we need
We never question whether or not their advice is best
And, in the moment, I suppose it is just that someone is there
That alone seems to heal whatever is wrong
What I challenge you to do is take account
Double check those that are real and those that are searching
In those moments of doubt, of sadness, and loneliness
Make sure that whose on the other end actually cares
In a world of people who can dress up to be anything
Check the heart and the mind before opening your heart
See who they keep company with and who they keep close
Listen to what they say and see if that's what you want said
Because in a world where you do not honestly know who is on
The other end, life can be lonely and empty if it's not a friend
Life has taught me that it is the quality of the one
On the other end of life... that matters the most
Be the voice that others can come to and keep their hearts safe
Bite your tongue when other times it's easier to rise to debate
Silence your anger with knowledge that all things come to pass
Quiet your pain knowing that the sun will shine again
In the end... be the one at the other end... and be true to yourself
Be a light in the darkness and a beacon of hope
And, never... let anyone... stop you from shining
I am on the other end for many... and they are also for me.
I am grateful and thankful. ♥
