One of the excellent characters that work at Blists Hills Victorian village in Ironforge.
I'm actually very impressed with the low light performance of this GX80 especially from a micro four thirds sensor. I'd comfortably use it up to iso 3200 and probably 6400 which is very impressive from the sensor.

The Torah is the most sacred text in Judaism. During the course of a year each of the five books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) are read through in sequence from a Sefer Torah (Torah Scroll) kept in the synagogue in a specifically made ark or sanctuary.
These scrolls are written in Hebrew text on parchment and kept shrouded in magnificently decorated mantles in velvet, satin, silk or embroidered brocade.
The writing of a Torah Scroll is a religious act that requires not only the skills of a master calligrapher, but a truly spiritual scholar. Every letter must be reproduced accurately since it is the inspired word of God. www.myjewishlearning.com/article/torah-scroll/
Good morning everyone. Featured for Dragonfly Thursday is the Widow Skimmer (Libellula luctuosa). Just newly emerged or immature individuals for today starting with the above immature male.
Widow Skimmers are one of the most common dragonflies found across North America and locally are the most numerous at present, although their numbers will dwindle after the current surge of newly emerging individuals subsides. But for now they are number one in terms of numbers.
As for these photos, all were taken at the reclaimed strip mine. And since both gender look essentially the same when first emerged the easiest way to tell them apart is the female has dark wing tips, which the male typically lacks.
I also included one pic of an extremely fresh female taken only a matter of a few hours after it emerged...being the last photo in the comment section.
As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional pics in the comment section. Even better, scroll through them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view any picture in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this handsome dragonfly.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great last day of June.

Painted in 1915 and shown two years later at the exhibition of the Rome Società di Belle Arti.
This work from late in the artist’s career shows the gulf of Lake Maggiore as seen from a boat, with a woman leaning out to enjoy the view of the Madre island and the Baveno shore. It was early in the second decade of the century that he took up landscape painting, often in views of places near Colma di Monferrato, where he stayed for long periods. Morbelli devoted at least one other work to the landscape of the Verbano area, namely Lake Maggiore at Baveno, shown at the Bottega di Poesia gallery in Milan in 1922, on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition of Divisionist painting in Italy. The interest in these places was also connected with their new popularity with the prosperous middle classes as holiday resorts. In the painting in the Cariplo Collection, the woman on a boat trip is an explicit reference to one of the most common pastimes during these holidays.
The new approach to the view was the result of a series of studies carried out by Morbelli with the aid of photography, in accordance with a creative procedure that characterises his work as a whole. This is something he shared with his friend Giuseppe Pellizza, who also undertook careful investigations of light and its pictorial rendering through the technique of Divisionism. In particular, the female figure is the mirror image of the young woman in the same pose and clothing to be seen in a photograph in the painter’s archives, taken in the early years of the 20th century. The use of a viewpoint in the shade is also typical of photographic procedures and in particular of Pictorialism, which began to catch on in Italy in those very years. The sophisticated effect of backlighting is obtained through the application of separate strokes of white, pink and blue to recreate the dazzling shimmer of the sun on the waters of the lake in contrast to the penumbra of the boat. The tricolour flag fluttering in the breeze on the left is probably a patriotic touch, as the work dates from the year during World War I when Italy declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
From November 2011, the work has been on view at the Gallerie d’Italia in Milan.
Rus: Эта картина написана на закате творческой карьеры художника, и показана два года спустя на выставке Римского общества искусств.
На полотне виден залив озера Маджоре с судна, а женщина выглядывает, чтобы насладиться видом Остров Мадре и берегом Бавено. Это - время начала второго десятилетия 20-го столетия, когда художник занялся пейзажной живописью, часто с видом мест Колма-ди-Монферрато, где он оставался в течение долгих периодов. Морбелли создал, по крайней мере, еще один пейзаж в районе Вербано, а именно озера Маджоре в Бавено, представленный в галерее Боттега ди Поезия в Милане в 1922 году по случаю ретроспективной выставки живописи дивертистов в Италии. Интерес к этим местам был также связан с их новой популярностью как курорта среди процветающего среднего класса. На картине из коллекции Cariplo женщина, отправляющаяся в путешествие на лодке, является явным указанием на одно из самых распространенных развлечений в праздники.
Новый подход к представлению стал результатом серии исследований, проведенных Морбелли с помощью фотографии в соответствии с творческой процедурой, которая характеризует его работу в целом. Результатами он поделился со своим другом Джузеппе Пеллицца, который также провел тщательные исследования света и его графического изображения с помощью техники дивизионизма. В частности, женская фигура - это зеркальное отражение молодой женщины в той же позе и одежде, которую можно увидеть на фотографии в архиве художника, сделанной в первые годы 20-го века. Использование точки наблюдения из тени также типично для фотографических процедур и, в частности, для пикториализма, который начал завоевывать популярность в Италии в те самые годы. Утонченный эффект подсветки достигается за счет применения отдельных штрихов белого, розового и синего для воссоздания ослепительного мерцания солнца в водах озера в отличие от полутени лодки. Трехцветный флаг, развевающийся на ветру слева, вероятно, патриотическое прикосновение, так как работа датируется годом времени Первой мировой войны, когда Италия объявила войну Австро-Венгерской империи.
Well, it has been quite a while since my last upload.
Life works realy funny way. You want something and it gives you everything else...
For last few months (and also for few that will follow) I had so much work, I wasn't able to do almost anything else.
So this is just a small heads-up. Small "I still remember" notice.
I did not forget, I am going to get back, and once that time comes, nothing will stop me!
