Young girls line the river selling candles to be put in the river for good luck. The outdoor electric lights are turned off during the Full Moon Festival in Hoi An, Vietnam. The only light comes from lanterns and the lit candles in the river.

A ridge walk is an experience that combines the beauty of nature with a touch of adventure. It leads along a mountain ridge, where the terrain often becomes narrow and exposed. On both sides, the slopes drop steeply, sometimes into impressive depths. The path is not only physically demanding but also requires mental strength and concentration. Every step must be carefully placed, as the narrow ridge leaves little room for error.
A ridge walk offers unparalleled views of the surrounding valleys and peaks. The feeling of standing on a ridge is overwhelming and comes with an intense awareness of one’s own existence. You become acutely aware of the natural forces surrounding you and feel the freedom and majesty of the mountains.
Despite the challenges, a ridge walk remains an unforgettable experience. It challenges not only the body but also the mind, rewarding the hiker with unique moments of silence and solitude amidst a spectacular landscape. In these moments, time seems to stand still, and you are fully present in the moment – a feeling that is not easily forgotten.
Eine Gratwanderung ist ein Erlebnis, das die Schönheit der Natur mit einem Hauch von Abenteuer verbindet. Sie führt entlang eines Berggrates, wo sich das Gelände oft schmal und exponiert zeigt. Auf beiden Seiten fallen die Hänge steil ab, manchmal in beeindruckende Tiefen. Der Weg ist oft nicht nur körperlich anspruchsvoll, sondern erfordert auch mentale Stärke und Konzentration. Jeder Schritt muss bedacht gesetzt werden, denn der schmale Grat lässt wenig Spielraum für Fehler.
Eine Gratwanderung bietet unvergleichliche Ausblicke auf die umliegenden Täler und Gipfel. Das Gefühl, auf einem Grat zu stehen, ist überwältigend und von einem intensiven Bewusstsein für die eigene Existenz geprägt. Man ist sich der Naturgewalten bewusst, die einen umgeben, und spürt die Freiheit und Erhabenheit der Berge.
Trotz der Herausforderungen bleibt die Gratwanderung ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Sie fordert nicht nur den Körper, sondern auch den Geist heraus und belohnt den Wanderer mit einzigartigen Momenten der Stille und Einsamkeit inmitten einer spektakulären Landschaft. In diesen Augenblicken scheint die Zeit stillzustehen, und man ist ganz im Hier und Jetzt – ein Gefühl, das man so schnell nicht vergisst.
Built an igloo, and slept in it. My first time.
One fact I'll share with you - block making is easier than block placing. ;)
Certaines décisions sont simples mais d''autres demandent un peu de réflexion. Et puis il y a ces moments où le monde entier semble décidé à penser à votre place!
EN Some decisions are easy but some require a little thought. And then there are those moments
when the whole world seems determined to make the choice for you!

The Golden Spectral of Leadership
Leaders require their followers to possess three essential qualities: competence, reliability, and moral goodness. Those who fail to demonstrate these traits cannot gain their leaders' trust. However, when followers exhibit these qualities, they establish a foundation of trust that enables their leaders to pursue ambitious goals, make dreams a reality, and inspire others.

At about two to three years of age, young lions are no longer tolerated by their family ― the pride. Their mothers are usually ready for their next litter of cubs, which often drives them out to become nomads. This mostly happens to young males, but it happens to females as well; if the pride is too large and has difficulty supporting itself, young females will also be driven to become nomads.
This driving out of young lions is vital to the survival of the pride. For females, it keeps the pride at a size that requires less support. For males, there are two other advantages. First, there is less competition for the prime male over mating in the pride. Second, it helps avoid incest. By leaving the pride, the young males will move to mate with other lionesses rather than those related to them, thus the gene pool is kept healthy.
After being kicked out, young male lions either roam alone or in small bands - often with their brothers or cousins. At such age, their only option is to survive the unknown lands or perish. In fact, this is the time when most of them die; only about one in eight male lions make it to adulthood. Those who do survive and find a new territory have to take over another pride. This means fighting with the resident males - frequently to death. That’s yet another evolutionary challenge for them to stay alive.

Major projects are generally not easy and require a lot of work and dedication but when we achieve the goal is so great that all that effort worthwhile.
Thank you for stopping by, have a great week ahead!
Sin saber hablar una palabra de francés y con un ingles básico decidí hace 14 años quedarme a vivir aquí en Canada y recomenzar desde 0.
Ir a la escuela de nuevo, hablar durante mucho tiempo sin que nadie me entendiera una palabra, hacer cuanto trabajo se me presentara. La idea era insertarme. Hubo muchas satisfacciones pero también muchas frustraciones y al final como dicen uno recolecta lo que siembra.
Los proyectos importantes generalmente no son faciles y demandan mucho trabajo y dedicación pero valen la pena para vernos crecer como persona y por la alegría que sentimos al lograr la meta, yo no se si la he logrado completamente pero admito que muchas veces me dan alegria las cosas que he conseguido.
Que pasen una hermosa semana!

Thanks have to go to EvidencE for the inspiration in trying a bit of tritone imaging. Thanks also to Kory66 on the inspiration for the frame.
The Redler is a Dragon-type Zoid, used by the Zenebas and Guylos empires.
Hey guys! Back with another Zoid! Reference pics can be found here.
This build is actually for the 2014 MocAthalon on Mocpages. My category was "How To Train Your Dragon" and I'm with Team Brick Runners. Members are tagged.
I'll have shots of the vig itself up soon. The category required me to make a dragon, and I figured I'd pull double duty and make it a Zoid as well. I quite like the deisgn considering my lack of purple System parts that aren't tiles. Let me know what you think!
Four days encamped in the Lake District with my fellow landscape addict John was pretty epic. Early starts, changeable weather and nothing to focus on apart from making the most of the stunning vistas was simply bliss. The perfect escapism required to balance the soul.
This pano was taken on our first trip to Thirlmere which was eventually cut short by some pretty crappy weather. Those are the risks you take I suppose.
Thanks as ever for looking :)
Some games require so much effort, so much attentive practice, that most people would consider them work, rather than games.
You play these games or you don't play them. What you can't do is play at playing them.

Today’s session focused on a compatibility test between the Nikon AF-S TC-14E III Teleconverter and the NIKKOR 500mm PF, paired with the Nikon Z8.
The test was carried out in both shaded and open light conditions, with particular attention to feather detail, contrast, and AF stability.
Conditions were challenging — temperatures slightly below average, but a sharp, face-cutting wind made it feel well below freezing.
All images were captured in natural light, under real field conditions.

It is 1909 and the women garment workers have had enough! They have left their sewing machines in the deplorable shirtwaist factories of New York City and have taken to the the picket lines to demand better conditions and fair practices. About 20,000 women joined the picket lines.
They are objecting to:
65 hour workweeks (they want it reduced to 52 hours),
Low wages (they want a 20% increase and overtime pay),
Being required to provide their own needles and thread,
Dangerous working conditions (In 1911, 146 garment workers - mostly immigrant girls age 14-23 - died in a factory fire in NYC),
Unfair fines

Final Project:
You will be required to work on a project that includes photographing (a minimum of) five different individuals in the style of your choice. Once you have selected the style, keep it consistent throughout the series.
You will also need:
1. an establishing shot (an image that tells us something about your idea. For example if you were to do a series of chefs the establishing shot could be a close-up of a measuring spoons.)
2. a self-portrait, with a brief artist statement
Side Note: A lot of thing didn't come through like I had wanted. Had flakey models, then scored on a really expressive friend of a friend, and I got these new to me models that showed up and kicked ass, then I got severely sick and ended up in urgent care Monday, etc. But hopefully I was able to get domestic abuse portrayed like I wanted to. I decided not to try for sexual abuse because no matter how I tried it, it could be construed as porn, and that isn't something I wish to ever touch upon.
Artist's Statement:
Emmy's work is influenced by elements in the world that most people consider to be imperfect, broken, or weak. She builds upon imperfection because it is the only true indicator of character and beauty. She captures imperfection as the summit of her art. She is inspired by things that surround her every day, and uses them as a creative base. As the proud divorced, single mother of five closely spaced children she has no shortage of material from which to draw.
With her work, it is difficult to ignore the obvious experience and background Emmy has in graphic design. In addition to photography and graphic design, she is an entrepreneur, business ideas person, CEO of a small assessment corporation, movie scriptwriter, mother, and friend to all, even those pesky telemarketers if they happen to catch her on the telephone at home.
The most important thing to Emmy is the opportunity to create art. To be an artist, even an unknown one, is more important to her than going forth and finding notoriety. She feels the only way for her to create is to continue growing as an artist whether by introducing new techniques, new mediums, or a combination of both. Her primary focus is on creating art that reaches across boundaries. She creates art that speaks figuratively and demands its own place within its world. She tries to create art that will link people to her, and with her.
Fast Facts on Domestic Violence
Battering on women is the most under reported crime in America.
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States; more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. "Violence Against Women, A Majority Staff Report," Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, 102nd Congress, October 1992, p.3.
Three to four million women in the United States are beaten in their homes each year by their husbands, ex-husbands, or male lovers. "Women and Violence," Hearings before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, August 29 and December 11, 1990, Senate Hearing 101-939, pt. 1, p. 12.
One woman is beaten by her husband or partner every 15 seconds in the United States. Uniform Crime Reports, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1991.
About 1 out of 4 women are likely to be abused by a partner in her lifetime. Sara Glazer, "Violence, Against Women" CO Researcher, Congressional Quarterly, Inc., Volume 3, Number 8, February, 1993, p. 171.
Approximately 95% of the victims of domestic violence are women. Statistics, National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women, Ruth Peachey, M.D. 1988.
Police report that between 40% and 60% of the calls they receive, especially on the night shift, are domestic violence disputes. Carrillo, Roxann "Violence Against Women: An Obstacle to Development," Human Development Report, 1990.
Battering occurs among people of all races, ages, socio-economic classes, religious affiliations, occupations, and educational backgrounds.
Fifty percent of all homeless women and children in this country are fleeing domestic violence. Senator Joseph Biden, U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Violence Against Women: Victims of the System, 1991.
A battering incident is rarely an isolated event.
Battering tends to increase and become more violent over time.
Many batterers learned violent behavior growing up in an abusive family.
25% - 45% of all women who are battered are battered during pregnancy.
Domestic violence does not end immediately with separation. Over 70% of the women injured in domestic violence cases are injured after separation.
Domestic violence is not only physical and sexual violence but also psychological. Psychological violence means intense and repetitive degradation, creating isolation, and controlling the actions or behaviors of the spouse through intimidation or manipulation to the detriment of the individual. "Five Year State Master Plan for the Prevention of and Service for Domestic Violence." Utah State Department of Human Services, January 1994.
