This is the first time in almost a month we have seen the sun, sky, clouds, or anything like it without a thick layer of smog. It was a very welcome sight when the air cleared and the sun came out. 1-31-2013.

One of the golf courses dotting Lincoln Park right across from the Palace of Legion of Honour. This shot was taken late afternoon as the sun is heading down west on the horizon. Not shown in this shot is the view of the Golden Gate Bridge to the right of this spot.
According to Wikipedia, the land on which this park stands was a cemetery in use in the late 1860s and possibly earlier. In 1902, golf enthusiasts laid out a three-hole course on part of the land. In 1909, the Board of Supervisors turned the land over to the Parks Commission, and cemetery relocation began.
Anyway, I did the usual contrast / saturation adjustments with this shot, and after the processing i noticed that the left and the right side of the shot show blurred movement, like there is a camera shake (I shot this scene handheld after all) - yet the center of this shot looks steady enough. That 'camera shake' effect renders this whole scene with a cool yet spooky effect - in a way that it reminds me of that opening scene from the 80s cult series 'Tales from the Dark Side". Was hoping to see a ghost in this shot but disappointingly there's none :(
Finally, I ran Photoshop HDR Toning to give this shot a little kick in the tone/texture department.
Happy weekend, my friends!
A white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) on the island I'm from.
This ringed one called N5 16, was nearly two years old when I met it here.
It was ringed in a nest in Tysvær in Rogaland, before it went south to Finnøy the next year, and then north here to Bømlo the second year.
I later learned that as an adult, it seems to have settled in Vindafjord in Rogaland, close to where it was ringed.

The National Harbor and MGM complex have several interesting sights and plenty of restaurants and shops.
Here you see two of the landmarks (a portion of) The Awakening sculpture in the foreground and the Capital Wheel in the background.

A friend said me: The best sight is this. I agree. (But I must see the Empire State sight another day).
Tampa, Florida, manatee sighting with shadows of spectators cast on the water. Yes, I'm in there somewhere too!

Look thru my eyes and you will see;
Seeing what I have seen - but wait;
a bright blur, then fade to a fog.
Fog in your mind, you can't see thru my eyes.
The way I have shown you to see is wrong,
hard to focus, right for me but wrong for you,
You don't see what I see with or without my sight.
But, I need you to see more so than I -
For it is not the sight but the vision. *copyright*

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognize I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word...overrun
A very rare sight on the mainline and one I just had to get out and capture.A big thank you to John for driving me to the locations today in that I fell down some steps last week whilst on holiday. ECS movement from Dereham-Carnforth with LMS 8F 2-8-0 No 48151 at the front,LMS Jubilee 4-6-0 No 45699 'Galatea' and Royal Scot 4-6-0 No 45115 'Scots Guardsman' pulling away from Claypole loop on a dull overcast day. The clouds were clearing but sadly not in time for the triple header out of the loop.It was then a dash in John's car to the next location at East Markham
First sightings of spring in my backyard on a cold, dreary day. A cardinal surveys the neighborhood.
A herd of deer, kept in an enclosing on the side of the hill, next to the road. I saw them quite often, since they were located on the road to my lodgings. It was quite a large herd and they had two or more males with very nice horns but I didn't manage to get any pictures worth posting of them. When they weren't sleeping or in the lower part of the hill there would always be at least a couple of deer getting up and coming to the fence whenever a human approached, because they usually got something nice to eat. :)
