Eugene Atget's image of Saint Sulpice and my recent image shows little change (other than the obvious crane and tower under refurbishment). Remarkably the shutters on the building on the right are the same as in Atgets (see note)
Thanks to Pete Sieger for this idea
same view, different day and different skies.....we get quite a bit of air traffic that some days produces a few vapour trails up there too....
Emley Moor Mast, West Yorkshire, UK. October 2016.
okay... so, these are not my pix. they're from a live yj you know what... so, if anyone has $4000 lying around... and wants to buy me a gift.
i saw the brunie before the redhead... can't believe 1 person had 2 of these lying around... what insane awesome luck.
anyway, the redhead is going for even more than the brunie...
anyway, i had to snag the pix b/c they're the best shots i've ever seen of an ai ai chan box...
if anyone doesn't know, ai ai chan was the japanese kenner release...
super super super rare... and, of course impossible to know if your girl is ai ai chan unless you got her nrfb...
dude, i wish i were rich.
ps. even in the 70s the japanese had cooler fashion tastes than americans.

Koh Samed (Samet) - I wouldn't recommend a visit if you want to experience Thailand because it is a very exploited Island. But it is on a convenient distance from Bangkok (2-3 hours by car) if you are in the region.
The sunsets and sunrises can however be magical with chrome like pastel colors.
Voor weinig geld haal je met de Nikon Coolpix B600 een prima superzoom in huis. Het bereik van het krachtige Nikkor-objectief is enorm: 60x optische zoom. Dat komt neer op 24-1440mm (fullframe-equivalent). Daarmee leg je weidse landschappen vast, terwijl je een seconde later die kleine ijsvogel in de verte in z’n snavel kijkt. Een ware alleskunner dus.
An overload of photos posted this morning (most of them uninspiring!), but I wanted to add them to my Texas albums, as they help to remind me of what this Sanctuary was like. All 15 images were taken at the Sabal Palm Sanctuary in the afternoon of 28 March 2019. After this visit, we had time to continue to South Padre Island, to check out the place, ready for our planned visit there the next morning. Lots of birds : )
Sunday, 9 February 2020: our temperature just before 11:00 am is 0C (windchill -6C). Sunrise is at 8:00 am, and sunset is at 5:41 pm. Cloudy with sunny breaks in the morning, with a few flurries developing in the afternoon.
Because it has been about 10 months since we went on this holiday, I have to check maps for names of the locations we visited, and any other information I gathered. Thank goodness the photos I took with my Nikon P900 have the GPS data and automatically appear on the Flickr map. Then I can add my Canon photos to the same marked locations.
This day started off with leaving the hotel that we had driven to on Day 9, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites, Brownsville, and driving to the first stopping place for Day 10. We stayed at this hotel for three nights, before having to drive all the way back to Houston on 30 March, ready to fly back home to Calgary.
Our early morning drive on Day 10 started off with driving in the wrong direction for quite a distance. One fun thing that happened as a result of this mistake, was that we spotted two beautiful Agave plants growing on either side of someone's front gate. We stopped in awe at the gorgeous orange flowers that grew from the tip of each leaf spike. I had never seen anything like these before and, once I got back to Calgary, I searched and searched on Google Images for photos that would give me an ID for these plants. Nothing - absolutely nothing - so I thought they must be something really unusual. Indeed, they were, lol! Some time after our return home, Anne B sent an email saying, guess what, these flowers were fake! She had looked at a close-up and could see the fabric lines and some frayed edges. A fun memory.
Once we were heading in the right direction, we drove east from Brownsville to Boca Chica, which is on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The first bird we saw was a Meadowlark, perched on top of a Yucca plant along the Boca Chica Highway. Closer to Boca Chica Beach, there were police vehicles, and at one place we were stopped by two men. One told us we could not go any further, but the second man told us we could go on. Managed to get a couple of very quick photos of Laughing Gulls on the beach, and then we were told to leave. Apparently, there was going to be some test at the nearby SpaceX Space Launch Facility there. We were able to grab a couple of quick shots of the SpaceX prototype from the road, then quickly continued on our drive away from the area. Quite exciting.
"The SpaceX South Texas Launch Site is a spaceport and test at Boca Chica Village near Brownsville, Texas, for the private use of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX).
Its stated purpose is "to provide SpaceX an exclusive launch site that would allow the company to accommodate its launch manifest and meet tight launch windows." The launch site was originally intended to support launches of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles as well as "a variety of reusable suborbital launch vehicles",[4] but in 2018, SpaceX announced a change of plans, stating that the site would be used exclusively for SpaceX Starship. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk indicated in 2014 that he expected "commercial astronauts, private astronauts, to be departing from South Texas," and he foresaw launching spacecraft to Mars from there."

From Boca Chica, our next stopping place was the Sabal Palm Sanctuary. On the way there, we briefly stopped to take a few photos of a beautiful Harris's Hawk perched on a high wire. In order to get to the Sanctuary, we had to drive through an opening in "The Wall". I had really been hoping that, at some point, we would actually see a length of The Wall, having heard about it endlessly on TV.
"The Sabal Palm Sanctuary is a 557-acre (225-hectare) nature reserve and bird sanctuary located in the delta of the Rio Grande Valley in Cameron County near Brownsville, Texas. It is noted for being one of the last locations in the Rio Grande Valley with a profuse grove of sabal palms, an edible-heart-bearing palm much prized by pre-Hispanic inhabitants and noted by early explorers. As a relatively habitat-rich remnant of this Valley, it is a prized birdwatching and butterfly watching location for persons interested in the ecology of the Valley and adjacent states of northern Mexico.
The Sabal Palm Sanctuary closely approaches the southernmost point in the state of Texas, and is the southernmost point accessible to the public.
The Sanctuary occupies a parcel of the former Rabb Plantation, a 19th-century sugarcane plantation on the bank of the Rio Grande - at that time, a river deep enough to float light steamboats. The plantation's produce was shipped directly from the riverbank; the successful plantation's Queen Anne mansion, built by Frank and Lillian Rabb in 1891-1892, was adaptively remodeled in 2013 to serve as the Sanctuary's visitor center." From Wikipedia. The Mansion is a really fine building.

Our final stop of the day was South Padre Island, where we had many good sightings. We were planning to go there the following morning, but decided we had time to also call in at the end of Day 10.
They live on me and in my deuter bag. I have also a pretty small crumpler bag for my nikon d90, but i dont carry it all the time... a rangefinder is for now good enough... i am saving money for a 50mm f1.8, a Lumix LX3, and a Nikkor AF 55mm-200mm, in that order.

Beautiful Bikini Model Goddess Shooting Stills & Video at the same time with Nikon D800E & Sony Alpha NEX-6 with its 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 power zoom kit lens in Malibu!
You can see some of the video of the pretty goddess shot with the Sony NEX 6 here:
Was shooting in 60P on the Sony NEX6 and slowing it down to 24P in Adobe Premiere for the slow motion!
The lens pictured on the Sony NEX-6 is the new "pancake" 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 power zoom kit lens. With the crop sensor, the NEX-6 has just about the same field of view as the Nikon D800 at 70 mm, which worked out well! Small and powerful! The Sony NEX-6 gave me better video results than the Canon and Panasonic camcorders I have been using. :) There's better bokeh, and cooler face-finding/tracking focus features for that filmesque feel and shallow depth of field! Plus the NEX has the sony steadyshot image stabilization active mode! The Optical Steady Shot (OSS) seems to work pretty well with the video.
Well, so much for the technology--enjoy the pretty goddess! :)
Shot with the Nikon D800 + 70-200 mm F2.8 Prime! (The 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens--my favorite!!!)
That's Point Dume in the background-hangin' out in Malibu on a 70 degree January afternoon! :)
Das ist noch einmal dasselbe Exemplar von Gestern, diesmal aber von der Seite und monochrom. Mit einer Körperlänge von geschätzten 8mm ist sie schon recht groß. Das Geschlecht ist mir unbekannt, da sie aber recht hell gefärbt war, vermute ich, es ist ein Weibchen. In dem Fall kann sie 11-15mm groß werden. Vielleicht sehen wir uns noch einmal wieder ;-) This is again the same spider from yesterday, but this time from the side and monochrome. With a body length of 8mm estimated it is already quite large. The gender is unknown to me, but as it was stained quite light, I suspect it's a female. In the case it can be 11-15mm in size. Maybe we will meet again again;-) (90mm, f/3.5, 1/160, ISO400)
Nikon D800E Photos of a Gorgeous Blond Bikini Model Goddess in Gold 45 Revolver Swimsuit with wavy-blond hair and pretty blue eyes! Pretty, pretty smile! A tall, thin, fit, classic California beach babe! Please share the exalted goddess with your friends.
Been busy getting my Socal / Malibu HDR Landscapes ready for the Los Angeles Gallery show! Don;t worry--I have been shooting many epic 45surf goddesses but have not had the time to finish them. :) Well, here's one now!
Here is some epic video I shot at the same time as the stills with the Sony Alpha NEX 6 camera with the 50 mm F/1.8 prime lens for nex6 e mount cameras bracketed to my Nikon D800E (cool bokeh!):

With the black 45surf surfboard! It gets hot in the sand in the sun! Wearing a leather Buffalo Nickel Cowboy Hat! :)
Combine the shallow-depth-of-field with Sony NEX-6's latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background! The Sony Alpha NEX 6 has much better bokeh than the cameras I have been using! :)
She was tall, thin, fit, toned, defined, and beautiful!

Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

I took this shot yesterday afternoon and it more or less would be the same weather if I took it this morning ... unusually, though, viewed within a square crop!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Years before UT Medical Branch was opened in Galveston a wealthy land owner secured a promise from his children that they would never sell the family land along the Port of Galveston. Of course, after he went on to his reward the land was sold (you know kids will do anything for money). Now, his solemn oath was that if the land were sold he would return to haunt them. He did and to this day.... he comes back anythime he's ousted.
The two panels above the image once contained the same image of this man. Both were sandblasted and the image removed. But..... it returned. Appears now that they've decided not to fight the old guy for property rights. Here's a link to more photos... halloweensunseen.com/faceutmb.html

New Year = Fieldwork placement time!!
Time to put theory into practice and learn a whole lot!!
In this photo, it's the Same sky as this photo, but a different angle. Now you suddenly see clouds where there weren't any before!
The mother and child from one of the carts are waving at me! And there's a random light leak. Bonus!! XD

A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
A gift for the same person who received the pink & blue bird earrings I made.
This picture is...terrible, I apologize. It looks like it's in sepia- actually, the hedgehog is naturally brown and cream, and since I was taking the picture at 11 pm (he wasn't finished until then) the lighting was awful.
The eyes are 6mm, and the nose is a brown seed pearl from a broken necklace/ bracelet. The cream yarn is Red Heart Super Saver and the brown yarn is thrifted.
This is a different pattern from the previous hedgehog (though he still resembles "a mouse with an afro"); this one is Shirley Chen's "Sammy the Hedgehog" pattern:
