Some may remember a couple years back a few images I made with flying saucers from Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in scenic Jacumba, California a small desert town along I-8. Just to see what's what I replaced the vertical layer of a wavy daffodil weave with the flying saucer image. A bit more repeating and distorting and "Crash" came to be, just a bit of fooling around.
If you would like to visit Coyote, his shop is near the Desert View Tower, Jacumba, CA on In-Ko-Pah Road off I-8. He might also give you a souvenir and maybe some stickers if he has any left!
The daffodil is slowly drying on a shelf, perhaps for a later shoot?

Old traditional ships sail the Wadden Sea between Friesland and the Wadden Islands. Most ships are provided with leeboards.
A leeboard is a part of a sailboat that does not use a keel against drift (moving the boat sideways). A leeboard is movable and replaces a keel. A leeboard is generally not weighted and does not have the function of counterweight which is the case with a A centreboard can be lowered in the middle of the boat.
It was common on so-called small play yachts around the turn of the 19th to 20th century, but was otherwise not often applied due to practical objections such as loss of space in hold or cabin, difficult accessibility for operation and maintenance, and -not unimportantly- higher costs.
In the early 21st century, centreboards are used more often again in larger cabin sailing yachts. In those yachts, the 'daggerboard box' can remain under the cabin floor, so the daggerboard construction does not affect the interior plan.
The advantages of a centreboard are: falling dry on tidal waters, sailing shallower coasts and rivers with a yacht that can also be used to cross the ocean, no longer being so strictly tied to the time of high water when entering a tidal harbour, and on wider courses, less resistance in the water due to the retrieval of the centreboard.sailing yacht.
This alien head rock souvenir was given to me by Coyote, proprietor of Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in scenic Jacumba, California a small desert town along I-8. Back in 2018, I stopped by after visiting the Desert View Tower and checked out his facility; BTW, he's the owner of the flying saucer that I use every so often. He and Luna, his dog, were very kind and allowed me to get a few pics of the yard and shared some great stories. If you happen to see the Desert View Tower (it's on In-Ko-Pah Road off I-8) that's where you'll find Coyote, stop in and say hi. He might also give you a alien head souvenir and maybe some stickers if he has any left. I included the pic I got of him and Luna in the first comment.
The original marker color faded so I touched it up with a gold Sharpie. Weird how it looks like real gold...don't you think. :)

Omiš (pronounced [ɔ̌miːʃ], Latin and Italian: Almissa) is a town and port in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. The town is situated approximately 25 kilometres (16 miles) south-east of Croatia's second largest city, Split. Its location is where the Cetina River (to the right) meets the Adriatic Sea.
Omiš was well known in the past by the Corsairs (i.e. pirates) of Almissa. Omiš Pirates were extraordinary sailors and shipbuilders, famous for their Sagittas (the Arrow), a special type of ship constructed for fast attack and even faster retrieval into the safety of the mouth of the Cetina River. Due to its position and the bravery of its inhabitants, Omiš was practically impregnable to all invaders. Even the Turks, who conquered all of the south-eastern Europe, and were stopped at the gates of Vienna, didn't manage to defeat Omiš.
At the peak of their power, Omiš Pirates were one of the most powerful and fearsome pirates on the whole Mediterranean Sea. Omiš Pirates ruled the Adriatic Sea for more then three centuries until in the year of 1420 the whole of Dalmatia, except Omiš, fell under rule the of Venetian Republic, the most powerful naval force of those times. Surrounded by the enemy and left completely alone, the Pirates of Omiš managed to defend themselves for 24 years. In 1444, Omiš fell into the hands of Venetia and that year marks the end of piracy on Adriatic Sea.
From the end of the 15th century, when the city fell to the authority of Venetian Republic, its name was the Italian Almissa.
Today, Omiš is best known for the traditional festival of the Dalmatian a cappella singing groups. During the Omiš Summer Festival various concerts and recitals are performed at the city's plazas and in churches.
The pano was taken from the Mirabella Fortress above the town, built in 13th century.

Bulbarrow Hill is probably the best known hill in Dorset and is a chalk hill site of an Iron Age hill fort - the name comes from barrows or burial mounds on the hill. Standing at 274m (899ft) high and giving the longest view in Dorset.
All bit and pieces used in previous pics, remixed into this flying saucer takeover of sorts. Please use caution when viewing, it seems to come with a bit of vertigo. OK I'll be the first to admit it, I'm having way too much fun with the flying saucer clip but it's fun to play with and very versatile so I'll just go with that. The sea gull came from the NYC skyline that I've used in the pic I made for the total eclipse, it provides the foreground color and I love the way it mixed, can you see the WTC?
If you have forgotten or this is your first time viewing my photostream: Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art or abstract art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. You can like them or not but they make me smile.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
With no plans to shoot Blea Tarn I found it impossible to resist given the conditions. I had spent the morning on Lingmoor Fell shooting the heather at sunrise, and after spending a good hour or two exploring I ventured back to the car park via Birk knot (I have a few shots from here i still need to edit and upload), on my descent I noticed there where a few nice clouds floating about and the Tarn was as still as I had ever seen it. I set up on the shoreline with my chosen foreground of these 3 rocks (well there where actually 5 - 2 smaller ones I removed in photoshop to help the aesthetic somewhat, after all as de la soul said, 3 is the magic number).
Camera set up, I was just in the process of putting attaching my polarising filter and setting an exposure when splash, just to the right of me a very excited dog had launched itself full length into the tarn chasing a stick its owner had dutifully thrown for retrieval. Some 45 minutes and 2 wild swimmers later the stillness of the tarn returned and I managed to get the shot I was 30 seconds away from having an hour earlier. Thankfully the clouds had hung around and actually did a really good job of creating a defuse light. All in all an enjoyable morning even if I spend more time than I anticipated observing some excellent doggy paddle (and that was the humans).

One of the yard's Grey squirrels with a walnut almost as large as its head. There are no walnut trees in the general neighborhood so I'm afraid this one came in with some mulch. Mr. Squirrel may not be able to find it later anyway, I've read their retrieval percentage is ~50%.
Ken is a German Pointer who lives the life of Riley at Bonsi a lovely estate in Tuscany. His owner is one of the sons of a great friend of my sister-in-law's.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is a breed of medium-sized pointing dog developed in nineteenth century Germany. It is energetic and powerful, with strong legs and great endurance. It is a versatile all-purpose gun dog suitable for hunting and retrieving on both land and water, with a strong drive to find and chase game. It may also be kept as a companion dog, though as a high-energy sporting dog, it requires significant amounts of exercise.
German Shorthaired Pointers have a short coat that comes in various combinations, generally a mix of liver and white. They have moderately long floppy ears set high on the head. Longer, broad, and strong, muzzles allow retrieval of heavier game. The dog's profile should be straight or strongly Roman nosed; any dished appearance to the profile is incorrect according to breed standards. Their eyes are generally brown, with darker ones being desirable; yellow or "bird of prey" eyes are a fault. The tail is commonly docked, although that is now prohibited in some countries. In competition, they are penalized if the tail is curved either up or down while the dog is moving. When the GSP is in classic point stance, the tail should be held straight out from the body, forming a line with the pointing head and body. Like all German pointers, GSPs have webbed feet, and are known for going after waterfowl in the water.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is a member of the Sporting Group] In 2016, CJ, a three-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, won the Best in Show award at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

The Tenuta i Bonsi, set in the magical landscape of the Tuscan hills of Reggello a few kilometers from Florence, for more than a century has been devoted to producing high quality olive oil and wine and the reception of guests who want to discover the rustic charm and elegance of this beautiful Tuscan farmhouse cum Castle.
The history of the village is full of interest, and has its roots in the 15th century. The historic home is also of great interest, beginning as a defensive Castle of a leading Florentine family and later became the "600 Balmaceda" a convent of Carmelite friars. Its current appearance is the work of the Florentine painter Raffaello Sorbi.
Today, the estate is owned and managed by the family Budini Gattai, who create products of high quality: ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil and red wine IGT.
Tenuta i Bonsi unites tradition with modernity, with particular attention to respect for the environment and renewable energy: thanks to the skilful use of scraps from the olive pit, heat can be provided by great alternative fuel pellets which can be purchased at the Guest House.

Yesterday, late afternoon, when I was on my main frame computer, I got the blue screen of death. Hubby found that my hard drive died. Luckily after the mornings purchase, installation and back up drive retrieval, I'm in business again (Chromebook was indeed helpful, but much harder to use). I only lost 2 artworks since I crashed 2 days after the last back-up. But, thank goodness for back up drives as it saved the day.

Coyote and Luna - Off for a bit this past week having my flying saucer repaired. Brought the ship to Coyote, proprietor of Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in scenic Jacumba, California a small desert town along I-8. He and Luna were very kind and allowed me to get a few pics before I took a tour of the waiting area. If you happen to see the Desert View Tower (it's on In-Ko-Pah Road off I-8) that's where you'll find Coyote, stop in and say hi.
A more recent archival retrieval as stay at home stays in place, in the City, this image of where Fifth Avenue in Manhattan begins, a rainy December night in 2018 the reflection of the Washington Square Park arch in a puddle in the street. What a lot of folks don’t realize is that once motor vehicles once traversed through the arch and made their way across Washington Square Park many years ago. Not that I ever saw it as the pass through Washington Square Park was closed in 1959 almost 4 ½ years before I was born after six years of the local residents protesting the plans of the famous or infamous master planner Robert Moses who was proposing a broader roadway through the park.

The Mullan Road was built in 1859 and 1860. It as (apparently) the first wagon road across the Rockies into the Pacific Nothwest. I'm not sure how the Oregon Trail doesn't qualify for this designation, but whatever.
It was, at least, the first military road to do so.
Parts of it can still be traveled and even driven in eastern Washington. This stretch that I photographed was just south of the townsite of Paxton. It is rough, but worth it for the desolation.

Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam. Possession of Bodiam Castle passed through several generations of Dalyngrigges, until their line became extinct, when the castle passed by marriage to the Lewknor family. During the Wars of the Roses, Sir Thomas Lewknor supported the House of Lancaster, and when Richard III of the House of York became king in 1483, a force was despatched to besiege Bodiam Castle. It is unrecorded whether the siege went ahead, but it is thought that Bodiam was surrendered without much resistance. The castle was confiscated, but returned to the Lewknors when Henry VII of the House of Lancaster became king in 1485. Descendants of the Lewknors owned the castle until at least the 16th century.
By the start of the English Civil War in 1641, Bodiam Castle was in the possession of John Tufton. He supported the Royalist cause, and sold the castle to help pay fines levied against him by Parliament. The castle was subsequently dismantled, and was left as a picturesque ruin until its purchase by John Fuller in 1829. Under his auspices, the castle was partially restored before being sold to George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe, and later to Lord Curzon, both of whom undertook further restoration work.

Trakai Island Castle (Lithuanian: Trakų salos pilis) is an island castle located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island in Lake Galvė. The castle is sometimes referred to as "Little Marienburg". The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century by Kęstutis, and around 1409 major works were completed by his son Vytautas the Great, who died in this castle in 1430. Trakai was one of the main centres of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the castle held great strategic importance.Trakai Island Castle was built in several phases. During the first phase, in the second half of the 14th century, the castle was constructed on the largest of three lake islands by the order of Grand Duke Kęstutis. The construction of Trakai Island Castle was related to the expansion and strengthening of the Trakai Peninsula Castle. Kęstutis moved his main residence and his treasury to the Island Castle.
The castle suffered major devastation during an attack by the Teutonic Knights in 1377. After the assassination of Kęstutis, a power struggle between Jogaila and Vytautas the Great for the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania began. The castle was besieged by both sides. Soon after the reconciliation between Jogaila and Vytautas, the second phase of construction started and continued until 1409. This phase is regarded as the major development in the history of the castle. Apparently, during the truce with the Teutonic Order, the construction works were supervised by the Order's stonemason Radike, four years before the Battle of Grunwald.

Technical Notes
This photo almost didn't make it as SOOC it looked pretty ordinary. I came very close to deleting it!
I shot a bracket of 5 shots 1 stop apart, and it wasn't anywhere near enough to capture the huge dynamic range of the scene.
I reckon I needed about 9 shots to cover the DR.
The bracketed exposures were processed in LR/Enfuse, which is a great plug-in for Lightroom, and produces more natural results than other programs like Photomatix.
Even after processing the brackets, I still had a lot of work to do to tame the exposure. So, I spent around an hour doing some brushwork dodging and burning to smooth out the exposure, especially with the window at the top of the spiral.
I also added some depth to the photo by subtly adjusting contrast and clarity of alternate layers of the spiral.
I spent a bit of time on the stairway rails as they looked quite washed out in some areas of the photo.
These changes have given the image a certain 3D-like quality.
Another challenge with this photo was correcting the colour balance, as there was light from several light sources, including daylight, fluorescent, & tungsten. All of these sources are very different colour temps so I had to do quite a bit of local adjustments, mainly using brushwork, to give the photo a balanced look.
The lesson I've learnt is to not be too hasty in deleting images.
With RAW files sometimes you can be surprised, and can salvage quality images from somethin' that looks like a train wreck.
In the end I've ended up with an image that is a portfolio shot - so it was worth the effort!

23rd November 2012 - Panavia Tornado GR4 'ZD740/088' of RAF Marham's infamous 617 (Dambusters) Squadron coming in for a missed approach. This airframe was sadly sent to RAF Leeming for spares retrieval in October 2015 and then scrapped.
Only the cutest bird ever... theTitmouse, small cheery-voiced nonmigratory woodland bird. Along with the chickadees, titmice make up the family Paridae (order Passeriformes), with approximately 55 species throughout the world, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Bold and athletic, the titmice are among the best-loved visitors to bird feeders. Although they range in size from 11.5 to 20 cm (4.5 to 8 inches), most fall in the middle of this range (17 cm [6.5 inches]). Despite their small size, they are extremely athletic and hardy. Many live in the far north and are able to endure bitterly cold winters, in part thanks to their strategy of storing food in bark crevices or holes and remembering the locations for later retrieval. Special leg muscles enable them to hang upside down to feed, allowing them to feast on items such as insect eggs that might be missed by less-agile birds.

The Roman Bridge at Saint-Thibéry (French: Pont romain de Saint-Thibéry) was a Roman segmental arch bridge on the Via Domitia in southern France. The partly surviving structure crossed the river Hérault in Saint-Thibéry, 17 km east of Béziers.
The ancient bridge had nine arches with spans of 10–12 m. The roadway rested on wide piers, which were protected on both sides by arched floodways and large cutwaters. The original length of the structure is estimated as 150 m, its road width as 4 m. The missing spans are known to have been destroyed by flood some time before 1536.
The remaining arches, with a span to rise ratio of 3.3:1 (115°) or more, show a visibly flatter profile than the semi-circular arches usually preferred by Roman engineers (180°). The rib thickness varies between one-tenth to one-twentieth of the span, corresponding to a common ratio also observed at a number of other Roman stone bridges. The structure is dated to the reign of emperor Augustus (30 BC–14 AD). Immediately upstream an old water mill and its millrace is located.
