Ps. I have received sopranosflight's print.
I might say I squealed a little when it came in the mail.
I tagged her, so you should go check out her wondrous stream.
This one looked great when I was playing with the tones. Then I converted to b&w and it just had that classic street photograpy feel. I just had to do it!
update - after reading Zolashine's comments I re-did the picture. I think it makes it 1000% stronger. On the money my friend...
Replaced with a better edit from JPEG on 9 Dec 2020.
Back when I traveled with my Olympus OMD m4/3 system.
Chiang Mai was the capital of the Kingdom of Lan Na which was originally not part of Thailand until it was annexed in 1920.
Back then I shot only JPEG, wished I shot RAW as there's so much more I can do with RAW files these days without the problem of the SOOC JPEG falling apart on heavy editing. Then along came a guy on a photographic website proclaiming that he has stopped shooting RAW and rely just on JPEG recently. What a load of bull, these misguided hobbyists do a great disservice to beginners with their ill-informed and even half-baked ideas.
The m4/3 system is fun to shoot with. The small form factor means you can bring an ultra-wide zoom, standard f2.8 zoom covering 24-70 or even 80mm and a couple of fast Primes and yet fit everything including the body into a small shoulder bag. It accords me total freedom to shoot ultra-wide perspectives, streets, landscapes and shallow enough DOF shots like portraits etc, all in one small bag. Even the accompanying tripod can be smaller and lighter. For the equivalent on my Nikon system, I need to lug all of that in a backpack, the mere thought of the hassle sometimes killed all enthusiasm for the shoot.
So personally, m4/3 compactness does not get into the way of vacationing where photography is and ought to be secondary.
Wasn't feeling to great yesterday but pushed myself to go dancing. The old foggy head had a little trouble always remembering the footwork 1, 2, back replace! Especially when the the previous move doesn't have the back replace. Still a giggle we had.
Not great again this morning I think it's a pollen thing.

I love this shot. Taken at Malaga, southern Spain on a beautiful sunny day. I was there on Viscount 701 G-AMOO with British Eagle. The early V700's didn't have the range to fly nonstop from Liverpool so we had to tech stop at Bordeaux both ways! To the right, just across the runway was a whole field of CASA built Heinkel 111's. I couldn't photograph them though, General Franco's Guardia Civil would have put me away!

Euravia's operation in that first summer season was awful. They suffered severe mechanical problems on the L049 fleet and it's no exaggeration to say they were frequently running up to 3 days behind schedule for much of the season.
In 1964 they leased Bristol Britannia 102's from BOAC and renamed the airline Britannia Airways in Aug-64. G-ARVP was retired at Luton in early 1965 and broken up in May-65.
There's a sort of Forest Gumpian function to our lives. A lot of stuff that happens is not probable. If you rewind, stuff that happened seems unbelievable. This is about the past.
Finding a place to live has been a life-long problem in California made worse today by rental housing being converted to short term rentals. In an upscale part of Silicon Valley, I was renting an industrial, former ambulance quarters: set back from the street and within walking distance of everything. A local government official who knew me had introduced me to the landlord. Window air conditioner? TV antenna? The owner could care less if I customized the place. Best of all, the rent was about half of the market rate.
Meanwhile, I stumbled on information about another local deal: a cottage on an abandoned estate (above). I told a friend who taught undergraduate classes. He reported the property had been foreclosed and was owned by a financial institution. The friend quickly moved in.
About a month later he had an opportunity which included relocation. He called me. "This place is tied up in a lawsuit. It's going to be vacant for years. You should move here," he counseled. "I already called the property manager and told them you're moving in." Well, then. I guess it's a done deal.
It was two and a half acre oak woodland in an area of 1-acre minimum lots. There were several buildings. The main house was over 8,000 square feet. You couldn't see the main house from the street. There was a functional, but cold, swimming pool maintained by a pool service. The place was somewhat overgrown and run down but also unreal. The original owner had been a retail chain tycoon. The garage had been built for carriages so my big Dodge would not fit inside the narrow doorways. I joked about it being a 'safe house.' In reality, it wasn't.
My neighbor had a Rolls Royce Silver something-or-other. Another neighbor had an elevator in their house and a diesel generator set that would light up whenever the power failed. There was a Ferrari in the neighborhood. The trappings of wealth were all over. Almost everyone was friendly.
I lived in one of several out buildings (not shown). The main house is shown. The only furniture in the main house was a table and recliner in the dining room used by me for reading. The dining room is the right portion of the building between the two chimneys. The restaurant-sized kitchen is out of frame to the right. The master bedroom is beyond the two-story portion of the home out of frame at left. There had been a lawn and irrigation at one time. These were weeds during the rainy season. I lived there for several years. At the end of my stay, the place was fully renovated. There was structural work. A note, "The leprechauns have been here and everything of value has been removed," was found behind fire brick during repair of one fireplace. Missing gargoyle heads were replaced. You get the picture.
There were many deer. A large, arthritic buck and I developed an understanding. There was a Great Horned Owl. Stellars Jays and Scrub Jays owned the place. Ravens? Yes. I found a fawn's head and vertebrae in the yard which I much later realized was a mountain lion kill.
The chief of a police department inquired about having a bachelor party. Invite a dozen people with guns over for some heavy drinking and running around the swimming pool? No, thank you.
Whoever has the goods to allocate never forgets himself.

This aircraft was delivered to BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation in Jul-49 as G-ALHG, it was sold to Overseas Aviation in Apr-60 and stored at London-Gatwick.
It was sold to Derby Airways in Oct-61. Derby Airways was renamed British Midland Airways in Oct-64. Sadly, the aircraft crashed in the centre of Stockport, UK, on 04-Jun-67 while on final approach to Manchester Airport.
Note: This aircraft was lost on the 4th June, 1967, when it crashed in the centre of Stockport, Cheshire, UK while on final approach for runway 24 at Manchester Airport. Sadly, of the 79 passengers and 5 crew, only 10 passengers and 2 crew survived.
The reasons behind the crash are many and complicated. On final approach the No:4 engine stopped due to fuel starvation. Briefly and very basically, 50 years ago the engine instrumentation on most 4 engine piston powered aircraft showed two engines on one dial. Engines 1/2 and 3/4 with 2 needles on each instrument with the engine numbers shown on each needle.
There appears to have been some confusion on the flight deck and the crew left the No:4 prop windmilling and shut down No:3. With two engines out on the same side and the drag of the No:4 prop, the aircraft was unable to maintain height and crashed. If you want to read the Aviation Safety Report, Google 'Accident, G-ALHG'.
The Old South Church, Boston, Mass.
This is the first of a few churches and cathedrals we visited in the USA & Canada last year. I was very surprised at what I found.
The church was built between, 1872–1875 in the Northern Italian Gothic style heavily influenced by John Ruskin. The roots of the church go back to a congregation of 1669. The architects were Charles A. Cummings and William T Sears. Their faces are carved on the portico on Boylston St.
The campanile was built using pink, grey and brown stonework; (although this was later replaced in the late 20’s, early 30’s, due to subsidence, Allen and Collens designed it and was dedicated to Rev. Dr. Gordon. The walls of the church were of Roxbury puddingstone. The cupola is of a green and red-colour copper. The roof is striped with red and black tiles and there any many outside decorations. A very impressive building from the outside, however, if you thought that was something, the interior was spectacular.
In 1905, Louis Tiffany was commissioned to bring into the modern world, the sanctuary. He had the gas chandeliers removed and covered stain glass windows and put in their place his own deep purple glass and painted over already decorated walls with gold and purple seaweed designs. However someone could not have liked these designs because in the 1950’s they were painted over in a pale grey. Today we see the result of an extensive renovation carried out in 1984. This work was done by the prestigious Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott. The sanctuary was returned to the Ruskin theme using new stencils, chandeliers, rebuilt windows, woodwork and custom furnitures.
The windows were as always my favourites. The sanctuary were four windows depicting the four prophets, the smaller windows are the four evangelists. In the north transept show Christ’s five miracles, opposite (south transept) show the five parables. The large window above the chancel depicts announcement of the Birth of Christ, with shepherds, angels and many other symbols. These windows all come out of the workshop of Clayton and Bell.
Within the church is the Gordon Chapel, built in 1933 and dedicated to Rev. Dr. George Gordon, senior minister between 1884-1929. The windows here were designed and made by Wilbur H Burnham, a top Boston glass designer.
All in all a brilliant day, the one down side, it was such a bright day plus all the interior lighting I don’t think I did the best job with the camera, too many bleached out images. However it was still a great day. This is the last of three postings.

This aircraft was delivered to Iberia as EC-DCE in Sep-78. After 23 years with Iberia it was withdrawn from service and stored at Madrid, Spain in Sep-01. The aircraft was sold to Republic Advanced Freighters as N908RF in Mar-02 and ferried to Chateauroux, France for further storage. Presumably the plan was to convert it to freighter configuration. However, it didn't happen and it was sold to RFC I727/39 Inc in Jun-02 and broken up at Chateauroux in Sep-02.

This aircraft was delivered to Western Airlines as N912WA in Jul-79. Western was merged into Delta Air Lines in Apr-87. Delta was primarily a Lockheed Tristar operator and so the Aircraft was sold to UAS United Aviation Services and leased to SAS Scandinavian Airlines charter subsidiary Scanair in May-88, retaining it's US registration.
Scanair sub-leased it to American Airlines the following month. The aircraft returned to Scanair in Mar-89 and was sub-leased to World Airways in Jun-89. In Dec-89 it was re-registered SE-DHX. The lease to World Airways continued although it was now flown by Scanair crews.

[Confusing bit, part 1. In Jan-94, Scanair had merged with Conair Scandinavia to form Premiair (Denmark). In 1996 Premiair was taken over by Airtours International Airways UK. The aircraft was returned to Airtours in Jun-98 and was repainted in basic Airtours livery. In Sep-98 it was leased to Ryan International and operated with Skyservice USA titles.
[Confusing bit, part 2. Ryan International were operating services for California based holiday operator 'Sun Trips' between the US west coast and Hawaii. Sun Trips was owned by... yes, you guessed it, Airtours International].
In Jul-00 the aircraft was re-registered N571RY and continued to be operated by Ryan International. The titles were changed to 'Sun Trips' in Jan-01 and it continued in service until Apr-03 when it was returned to Airtours (who had now been renamed MyTravel Airways) and the lessor. The aircraft was permanently retired at Kemble, UK and was broken up there in Jul-03.

The aircraft was sold back to Boeing in Jan-76 in part exchange for a new B747-236B, it was withdrawn from use and stored at Kingman, AZ, USA, It was broken up there in Sep-79.
Once a beach resort for tourists from the 1870 through the 1950s, the shoreline was still lined with dozens of 19th century beach cottages. Some were full-time residences and others were summer houses for people from New Haven and even as far away as New York City.
Very few of these cottages still exist as most of them have been replaced with modern houses and McMansions.

Click it! Looks better in light box.
So I had a photoshoot today and after it was all set and done I wanted to take advantage of my time and try a photo. This is what I came up with, im still sitting on it. Not sure if its what I expected it to be. I promise I can do better! I have loads of ideas just need to make them all happen.
Hope everyone is well! "this photo might transform in a few hours once I give myself some time to look at it.
Plön ist die Kreisstadt des Kreises Plön in Schleswig-Holstein und hat knapp 9000 Einwohner. Wahrzeichen der Stadt ist das Schloss, das im 17. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde. Plön besitzt ein Gymnasium mit 300-jähriger Geschichte, ist Standort der Marineunteroffizierschule und Sitz des Max-Planck-Instituts für Evolutionsbiologie.
Plön liegt direkt am größten Binnensee Schleswig-Holsteins, dem Großen Plöner See, und ist eingebettet in die hügelige Seenlandschaft der Holsteinischen Schweiz. Nur 7,8 km² des Stadtgebietes sind Landfläche. Der Rest des Stadtgebietes verteilt sich auf elf Seen, die vollständig zur Stadt Plön gehören, und fünf weitere, an denen Plön einen Anteil hat.
Durch Erbteilungen innerhalb des dänischen Königshauses entstand 1622 das Herzogtum Schleswig-Holstein-Plön. Mit Errichtung des Plöner Schlosses anstelle der alten Burg 1633–1636 durch Herzog Joachim Ernst wurde Plön Hauptstadt des kleinen Fürstentums. Als Residenzstadt erfuhr Plön eine beträchtliche Aufwertung. So gründete Herzog Johann Adolph („Hans Adolf“) 1685 im Nordwesten der Stadt die Neustadt, um hier Handwerker anzusiedeln und damit die Wirtschaftskraft des Herzogtums zu steigern. Unter Friedrich Carl wurde das Schlossgebiet um mehrere barocke Gebäude und einen Lustgarten erweitert. Die Stadt besaß damals ca. 1000 Einwohner. 1761 fiel das Herzogtum an die dänische Krone zurück, da der letzte Herzog keine Erben hatte. Damit gehörte Plön bis zum Bundesexekution Ende 1863 wie das restliche Herzogtum Holstein einerseits zum dänischen Gesamtstaat, andererseits aber auch zum Heiligen Römischen Reich (bis 1806) bzw. zum Deutschen Bund. Es diente zeitweilig dem dänischen König als Sommerresidenz, blieb ansonsten aber eine Provinzstadt mit ungefähr 2000 Einwohnern. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts weilte der dänische Kronprinz einige Jahre zur Sommerfrische im Schloss, das seither seinen weißen Putz mit dem grauen Dach zeigt.
1867 wurde Plön, nun Teil Preußens, nach Inkrafttreten der preußischen Verwaltungsreform Kreisstadt. Die Hohenzollern-Prinzen erhielten ihre schulische Ausbildung zum Teil in Plön; die Prinzeninsel ist heute noch im Besitz des Hauses Hohenzollern. Für Besuche der Kaiserfamilie wurde ein eigener Bahnhof errichtet. König (später Kaiser) Wilhelm I. bestimmte 1868 das Schloss Plön zur Kadettenanstalt. Die ersten 100 Kadetten im Alter von 11 bis 13 Jahren zogen am 1. Mai jenes Jahres ein. Im Jahr 1896 beschloss Wilhelm II., der letzte deutsche Kaiser, seinen beiden ältesten Söhnen Wilhelm und Eitel Friedrich eine geistige und militärische Ausbildung in der Kadettenanstalt Plön zuteilwerden zu lassen. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde daraus ein Internat, das 1933–1945 als Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalt diente. Seit 1946 war es wieder staatliches Internat und das bis 2000.
1891 gründete Emil Otto Zacharias mit finanzieller Unterstützung der preußischen Regierung und mehrerer Privatleute am Plöner See die erste „Biologische Station“ für Süßwasserforschung auf deutschem Boden als privates Forschungsinstitut. Nach seinem Tod übernahm August Thienemann die Leitung. Als Nachfolgeinstitution existierte lange das Max-Planck-Institut für Limnologie. Dieser Institutsstandort wurde, nach insgesamt 115 Jahren der limnologischen Forschung, als Max-Planck-Institut für Evolutionsbiologie auf andere Schwerpunkte ausgerichtet. Plön ist außerdem „Korporativ Förderndes Mitglied“ der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.

Plön is the administrative centre of the County of Plön in Schleswig-Holstein and has just under 9,000 inhabitants. The town's landmark is thePalace, which was built in the 17th century. Plön has a grammar school with a 300-year history, is home to the naval non-commissioned officer school and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology.
Plön is located directly on the largest inland lake in Schleswig-Holstein, the Großer Plöner See, and is embedded in the hilly lake landscape of Holstein Switzerland. Only 7.8 km² of the town area is land. The rest of the town area is divided between eleven lakes that belong entirely to the town of Plön and five others in which Plön has a share.
The Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Plön was created in 1622 through inheritance divisions within the Danish royal family. With the construction of Plön Castle in 1633-1636 by Duke Joachim Ernst to replace the old castle, Plön became the capital of the small principality. As a residential town, Plön was considerably upgraded. In 1685, Duke Johann Adolph ("Hans Adolf") founded the New Town in the north-west of the town in order to attract craftsmen and thus increase the economic power of the duchy. Under Friedrich Carl, several baroque buildings and a pleasure garden were added to the palace grounds. The town had a population of around 1000 at the time. In 1761, the duchy reverted to the Danish crown as the last duke had no heirs. This meant that Plön, like the rest of the Duchy of Holstein, belonged to the Danish state on the one hand, but also to the Holy Roman Empire (until 1806) and the German Confederation on the other, until the Confederation was decreed at the end of 1863. For a time, it served as a summer residence for the Danish king, but otherwise remained a provincial town with around 2000 inhabitants. In the middle of the 19th century, the Danish crown prince spent a few years at the castle for his summer retreat, which has retained its white plaster and grey roof ever since.
In 1867, Plön, now part of Prussia, became a County centre after the Prussian administrative reform came into force. Some of the Hohenzollern princes received their schooling in Plön; the Prinzeninsel is still owned by the House of Hohenzollern today. A railway station was built for visits by the imperial family. King (later Emperor) Wilhelm I designated Plön Castle as a cadet school in 1868. The first 100 cadets aged 11 to 13 moved in on 1 May of that year. In 1896, Wilhelm II, the last German emperor, decided to give his two eldest sons Wilhelm and Eitel Friedrich an intellectual and military education at the Plön cadet school. After the First World War, it became a boarding school, which served as a national political education centre from 1933 to 1945. It became a state boarding school again in 1946 until 2001.
In 1891, Emil Otto Zacharias founded the first "Biological Station" for freshwater research on German soil as a private research institute on Lake Plön with financial support from the Prussian government and several private individuals. After his death, August Thienemann took over the management. The Max Planck Institute for Limnology existed for a long time as a successor institution. After a total of 115 years of limnological research, this institute site was reorganised as the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology with a different focus. Plön is also a "Corporate Supporting Member" of the Max Planck Society.

I stood infront of the Jedi, staring into his eyes.
"Is this what you want?" he chuckled, "You want death and war again?"
"Just death. To be more precise, I want all the lives of the Rebels gone, starting with you."
I had never this felt emotion before, but this was something.... powerful. I gritted my teeth and swung my arm towards the Jedi. A "vhroom" was heard. I didn't look to see what had happened. I only walked away wiping the blood of my garments.

It was a few years ago my first kill. I had only just begun training with him. He was a powerful man. My master had always said, never feel the anger in your veins, but it was useless. I was a born killer.
I had killed my first Jedi when I became angered by him. He was also being trained by the same Jedi as I. He had only asked me of my birth, and I had gotten outraged, for my parents had abandoned me. My master, Khudhun Fghyita had sent me away to think of what I had done. When I returned, I had been replaced by another child.
Born to darkness, I was turned to the Dark Side. I was cast into training, and was taught not to feel, anything. So I didn't.
I was made into the monster I am, who still seeks revenge.
____
The battle I had just won, was both a victory for me, and for the Empire. Without Vader, almost all of the Siths in training abandoned the Empire. I was the only one left. The Empire believed I was not ready to lead them, so I was to now lead another "brother empire." When I did so, I had changed my name. To "intimidate". So I had changed my name.
My name is Gredd. And I lead the Empire of Tomorrow.
