Same clam boat as the other photo but now loaded with an awesome mound of oyster shells. We have a collection place where people bring shells after eating. Then they're cleaned so they can be put back for the creation of new oyster beds.
Jack Harper: How can man die better: than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods.
Sally: I created you, Jack. I am your god.
Jack Harper: Frick you, Sally!

So I'm sitting in an expensive movie and beautiful theater on vacation in Kansas watching Oblivion, and I see the Bubble VTOL flying through clouds. I said to myself I have to build this, and starting working on design ideas immediately. However I soon lost myself in the extremely awesome and complex plot. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it, and Tom Cruise performed brilliantly. Its definitely my favorite Tom Cruise film.
A big thanks to Evan (Lego Junkie) for giving me a couple of great suggestions.
Perhaps the only big inaccuracy on this compared the real deal is there are no guns on the cockpit. I'm just enough of a Lego genius to figure out how to do that...wait, I might have some idea..oh well!

Enjoy and God Bless!
Clearly the fungus goes all the way through the rotted core of the tree. But does the fungus cause the rot, or does the rot simply form an excellent habitat for the fungus?
I hope some fungi-philes out there will express an opinion about the type of fungus and my chicken-or-egg question.
Same forest as the last image. I've only ever visited in the darkness and searched for scenes by torchlight. Must have a scout in daylight as I'm sure there's plenty more interesting spots. Lit using the UBLS with Klarus XT11GT and Red Convoy S2+.

Same day as the previous post: a distant view and a close up view. It was a challenge!

Same corner and lens, different angle. Can't see the riders faces, but some good corner shapes and like the way it shows the straight the riders are turning into.
This is the same photo I uploaded on March 6 (straight out of the camera), on March 20 (using the Orton Effect) and today using a layered texture.
Trumpeter Swans Protecting their cygnet. I had to stumble down a pretty steep rocky embankment. This put the parents on high alert. I realized after getting into position that they were actually paddling towards me. At that same time I realized that there was no easy or quick way to get away if they decided to attack. So I sat very still hoping they would determine that I wasn't a threat. This image was taken as they decided that I wasn't going to be a problem, so they swam away. Whew!
Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.

China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.
Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.
The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.
The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.
Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.
The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world
The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.
About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.

It's the same moon
when you first showed me the stars
high above the lights of freeways cars
my family gone, a home no more
crying until everything was sore
It's the same moon
a wound among barren, lonely places
hidden in turned away faces
my song ending soon
I have changed, I forget the tune
but it is still the same moon
I took a photo just like this last year (see it here) when I went on a fall camping trip around the same time. Being from Miami, I haven't seen many fall colors in my days, so when I have the opportunity to see them I take it. The colors weren't peaked but we still had an amazing time. This photo in many ways signifies how when I look back at my life and where I've come in the past few years, I am utterly amazed at what God has done in my life and how much it's changed because of Him in college. For most of my life I knew God was real and knew we were meant to know Him personally and that He loved us, but I was surrounded my legalism and false religion. I was told you shouldn't do this or that and if you do these things, God will be happy with you and you'll go to heaven. I was told all the ways I could "reach" God, yet I feel no one was actually able to do it. That's because it's impossible, He's perfect and we're not - but the beautiful thing is God doesn't ask us to reach Him, He stepped down off of His perfect throne in heaven and came into a world full of evil and hate, because He loves us that much and wanted to show us all He is willing to do for us if we are just willing to say yes to Him. I think about how I used to think I was a good person and now I know that I fall so short of that, but that Christ is showing me what it means to truly love and helping me show that to others. I think about how I wasn't even planning on going to the college I'm at now and how I am so thankful I was led there because now I have the most amazing family who has encountered Jesus and been wrecked by Him and not living another day for anything but Him. I go to what many people consider to be the biggest party school in the country, and I tried those things and saw how deeply unsatisfying they were, and am now in a place where I experience indescribable joy, love, and peace. I cannot begin to describe how incredible it is to know the God of the Universe so closely and deeply and if you have any desire at all to know Him too, you absolutely can and please inbox me and I will tell you more about my story and how you can know Him!
نعيش من الفراغ ما الله به عليم
حتى كان لكل صغيرة وكبيرة ضجيج نملأ به جنبات سكون الفراغ
عرفنا الدنيا منذ ولدنا والشر فيها هو الغالب .. وما زلنا ندندن على نفس القيثارة
نلعن ونشتم الفسق والعهر .. وستبقى اللعنات تصيب الظلام ولا نرى شموعا
هكذا صارت كل أوقاتنا تنفيس وثرثرة .. تحدث ضجيج أكبر من واقع ما يحتاج إليه كل أمر

Sorry, flickr reproduces this picture in an absolute shitty quality in the smaller versions :(

In photoshop the image file looks technically very good with relatively smooth gradations in the dark area (at the walls).
Maybe someone of you has an idea what the problem could be...
Same sketch idea as previously but different primary colours:-
Cobalt Blue, Aureolin Yellow, Crimson Alizarin
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND FAVS........PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM FOR HOPEFULLY MORE OF THE SAME.
It's late July in 1978 and we're at Flat Rock yard on the Detroit, Toledo, and Ironton. It looks like we've caught a race between venerable GP9 986 and a not so venerable brakeman. They are both headed in the same direction, so their goal must be the same. I honestly can't remember who won, because I wasn't too used to seeing brakemen running in yards, competing with their train. My money is on the brakeman - he's younger, has less weight to carry with him, and he has a big head start. Maybe, he even cheated?

I would have liked this shot more had it have been totally in focus, but they were quite a way, away, and I didn't have a tripod..:O(
But I liked the way I caught Mother and Child looking like each other and in the same direction...just luck I guess..lol..:O)
This is another shot of the lovely weather we found at Tybee Island, GA. The Beautiful Weather for Gulls was shot at 9:43 am; this one, later the same day, at 9:09 am. It was shaping up as photographically interesting, but not much fun in the sun.
Same 'shroom, could be Leucocoprinus birnbaumii or Leucocoprinus cretaceus. INat tells me it’s a Casual Grade because it is “Cultivated or Captive”, and so far no-one has connected on the ID, so I’m hoping that someone here can shed light on the species. This is a 104-image focus stack, using Helicon Focus — Method B-R4- S2, and the resulting image colour corrected, retouched and sharpened in Photoshop.
