This little 1st year cub was definitely feeling "separation anxiety" He was obviously all alone, his mom nowhere to be seen or found. No telling what may have happened to her.
This cub was running up and down the tundra across the river from camp, desperately looking for his mother, sniffing the air, trying to find her scent.
Broke my heart. He did manage to find a dead salmon along the side of the river and hopefully in his short time on earth, he has learned skills he needs to survive the upcoming harsh winter he's about to face.
It was heartbreaking to watch him and not be able to help him. That is the only thing about nature that is hard to take. She can be so harsh and cruel at times.

Taken from the Copper Range Grade looking at the abutments for the Quincy and Torch Lake where it crossed overhead at one time. No rail lines exist in the Copper Country north of Baraga anymore, except for the museum loop in Lake Linden. Years ago, there were places several lines would parallel each other to reach the mines; now nothing. What a difference 100 years makes. Image taken in 1999 and scanned from a slide.

The "Salinelle dello Stadio" of Paternò are active mud volcanoes at the south base of Etna, whose activity is in direct correlation with the volcano Etna itself. They are a phenomenon of secondary volcanism.

This is one "corner" of the Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand. There is a lighthouse at the point, but I thought this view a little below and behind was nicer.
One can see the tight fit at the front and back edge of the case open up here.
There is some discussion about MacBook gaposis. I thought I'd document mine. The machine has performed perfectly for me for about ten days, so I'm reluctant to take my chances on repair/replacement, but it has noticable gaps in three places: The left and right edges of the keyboard platform, and the top of the screen bezel above the iSight. And I figure that if this is a manufacturing defect, it's better to get in on it early rather than late, before it worsens. So it's shipping back to get checked out.
Nice separation in the clouds. Tried to wait and see if one the planes would silhouette against the blue but they were all too close and completely covered the separation which was quite far away.
Lots of time using the “frequency separation” technique to remove all the rashes and mini razor “bumps” he gave himself by shaving his chest.

Going for that 90's movie poster vibe. ;)
Models: Haemy Chung and Gandhi Natarajan
Lighting: Elinchrom ELB 400 in a small octa camera left.
The donut bokeh from the Kase 200mm Reflex lens can be varied quite dramatically, ranging from very bold and “in your face” at one extreme, to surprisingly refined and subtle at the other extreme.
The factors that control how lens renders the background are (a) the camera-to-subject distance, (b) the background-to-subject separation, and (c) specular highlights in the background.
The first two are easy and typical of any other lens: you get more blur if the subject is close to the camera and the background is farther out. The blur diminishes if the subject is farther away, and if the subject and background are both a little far away and close to each other, there is very little noticeable blur.
The third factor, specular highlights, is the primary source of the donuts, so this can be controlled by picking a background that has more or less number of point sources of light.
So just varying these three parameters allows a wide range of background renderings possible, and this is one in a series of such test shots.
This shows the sweet spot for this lens: keep the background close enough to render specular highlights in small donuts. This is a rendering that a standard lens cannot produce. In this example, I picked a background that had specular highlights that were not too bright, so the rendering is “quiet”, compared to what it would have been if the specular highlights were bright.
For my general thoughts about the Kase 200mm Reflex lens, click the image of the lens below.

Architect
Faircloth, FH
Construction period
1902â1909, Childers Pharmaceutical Museum & Tourist Information Centre (1902 - 1909)
`The former Gaydon's Pharmacy is one of a row of shops erected in 1902 to the design of Bundaberg architect FW Faircloth, following a fire that destroyed most of the south side of Churchill Street, the main street of Childers. Faircloth was responsible for much of the new building following the fire, the effects of which transformed the appearance of Childers. Extended to two storeys in 1909, the pharmacy housed several important services to the town and, retaining extremely intact contents, has become a pharmaceutical museum in recent years.
Childers is located in what was once the heart of the Isis Scrub. Following logging of the dense Scrub in the 1870s, Childers was promoted in the 1880s by Maryborough interests as an agricultural district. The land in the immediate vicinity of the present town of Childers was surveyed in 1882 into 50 acre farm blocks. There was no official town survey; Childers developed following private subdivision at the railhead of the 1887 extension line from Isis Junction. This was opened on 31 October 1887, and was intended principally to facilitate the transport of timber from the scrub.
The coming of the railway not only promoted the development of the town of Childers; it also proved the catalyst for the establishment of a sugar industry in the district in the late 1880s. At the opening of the railway to Childers, Robert Cran, owner of Maryborough's Yengarie mill, announced that he would erect a double crushing juice mill at Doolbi, to supply his mill at Yengarie. This was completed in 1890, with the juice being brought in railway tankers from the Isis. Further expansion of the sugar industry in the Isis was closely related to the activities of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company, which erected a central crushing mill in the district 1893-94, and began crushing in 1895. By 1895, at least three other mills had been established in the Isis, with another two under construction, and Childers had emerged as the flourishing centre of a substantial sugar-growing district.
Thomas Gaydon arrived in Childers in 1894, four years after completing his pharmaceutical apprenticeship in Brisbane, and established 'The Isis Pharmacy' as one of the first shops in the main street. He and William Hood needed to clear the block with axes and mattocks. Hood set up as a tobacconist and stationer. In September 1899, resub 18 of sub 3 of portion 840 was transferred to Thomas Gaydon and William Hood as joint tenants. This was probably the land on which their adjoining timber shops were built.
1902 was a very dry year and Childers had no fire brigade. In 23 March, a catastrophic fire swept through the south side of the main street in town, where virtually all the buildings were timber and closely built. Those stores destroyed were: S Oakley, bootmaker; FD Cooper, commission agent; R Graham, fruiterer; ME Gosley, tailor; Foley, hairdresser; M Redmond, Palace Hotel; WB Jones, auctioneer; W Couzens, fruiterer; H Newman, general storekeeper; WJ Overell and Son, general merchants; P Christensen, cabinet maker; W Hood, stationer; T Gaydon, chemist; W Lloyd, hairdresser; Mrs Dunne, fruiterer; Federal Jewellery Company; Dunn Bros, saddlers; H Wegner, bootmaker. The Bundaberg architect F H Faircloth was engaged to redesign new premises and called tenders for the erection of eight brick shops, including Gaydons, in June 1902.
Frederic Herbert (Herb) Faircloth was born in Maryborough in 1870 and was a pupil of German-trained Bundaberg architect Anton Hettrich. Faircloth set up his own practice in Bundaberg in 1893 and was very successful, eventually being responsible for the design of almost every major building in Bundaberg. He was also to have a major effect on the appearance and character of Childers.
The new shops were masonry rather than timber, a choice no doubt influenced by the fire, and were elegant single story buildings with large glass shop fronts. Striped curved awnings across the footpath were supported by decorative posts with cast iron infill. Each shop had a separate roof , some lit by lanterns and the individual tenancies were also marked by the visual separation of the facades by the use of classic revival pediments, urns, and balustrades. Gaydon's building with its broken semi-circular pediment matched the adjoining Hood's shop.
Around 1909 an upper floor was added. This addition included the adjoining shop, so that a new and larger decorative pediment was created. A photograph dating from around 1913 shows that other tenants, including a bootmaker and the New Zealand Insurance Company, also used Gaydon's building. The upper floor was lit by a lantern and a pair of large compound windows and so had excellent light for its use a dental surgery by Thomas Gaydon, who in addition to his work as a pharmacist, also practised as a dentist, photographer and anaesthetist to the local hospital. He was a public spirited man and also served as president of the Chamber of Commerce, School of Arts, hospital and School committees at various times. He was the second chairman of the Isis Shire Council in 1919 and served in this role again between 1924 and 1930.
Following the death of Thomas Gaydon in 1935, the property was transferred to his two sons, T. Geoffrey Gaydon (a dentist) and S. Noel Gaydon (a chemist) who both practised from the premises. In 1938 Mervyn G Hooper joined the staff as a chemist and went into partnership with Noel Gaydon in 1956. When Noel Gaydon died in 1966, Hooper continued the business and the property was transferred to his wife in 1973. In 1982 Mervyn Hooper died and the then pharmacy was operated as a gift shop (with all pharmaceutical material retained) by his widow Isbell (known as Isa) Hooper. In 1987 the shop ceased trading and was acquired by the present owner.
The Shire leased the building, after purchasing the contents, catalogued items and carried out conservation work. In 1989 Gaydons Pharmacy opened as a pharmaceutical museum with an art gallery on the upper floor. The work undertaken by the Isis Shire Council to prepare the building for use as a museum, tourist office, and gallery received a National Trust of Queensland John Herbert Award for Conservation Action in 1989.'

If we are feeling pain and isolation, we have created a division between ourselves and the pain.
We have created a situation where there is the 'self' - and there is the pain - two separate things.
The self does not want to experience something, so it feels pain because 'what was' and 'what is' and 'what should be' cannot be joined together.
This is an illusion that is very difficult to step outside of and see. We might see it logically in our minds or in words, but to solve it truly and experience the solving of it, is much harder.
But once the experience that is causing the pain is accepted and brought into the self, no longer separated from the self but seen AS the self, then the pain disappears.
So we have to ask ourselves... did this 'self' really exist in the first place? What is the worth of a sense of self, if it brings us pain and keeps us in it?
To bring the pain and the self into one state without separation requires total silence. The mind must be silenced completely and the pain must be embraced completely also, not run from in any way, neither pyschologically nor physically. If we completely embrace this pain in complete mental silence... it must vanish - for at that moment it must be seen to be a creation of the mind.
If we dont venture into this exploration, then we simply cry "I feel pain!" and it never goes any further than this. Then either the pain continues, or is eventually repressed or forgotten about as one becomes distracted through life's ongoing experiences. It is never really solved and the situation will repeat until it is understood.
