There was a period in Spain with very much rain for several weeks.
This is the invite code for a group in progress:
The texture is by: Deviant art! Thanks for using it!
At the end of this road is the former police prison of Frankfurt. Nowadays, it is used by the autonomous center "Klapperfeld" which was given the right to use it by the city of Frankfurt in exchange for vacating another building they occupied. It's situated right next to the court of Frankfurt. Strange happenings.
But the most astonishing thing in this image is a biker actually stopping at a red light in Frankfurt! A rare sight.

George Parsonage - Consultant Officer
William Graham - Full-Time Officer
Throughout our 225 year history the Society's Officers have always recruited and trained a network of Volunteers whose commitment and loyalty to the aims of the Society have made significant contribution to the enhanced safety of the River Clyde and its environs.
Principal ongoing duties are listed in the link but include :-
Providing additional safety cover at events on the River Clyde
Assisting with the development of the GPS system and lifebelt positioning
Carrying out specialist operations as requested on waterways and environs
Together William and George manage the Volunteer River Watchers and Life Guards, control the daily operations required to fulfil our contractual obligations and organise rapid responses to emergency situations. They also maintain boats and equipment, lifebelts and the GPS location system to assist the Emergency Services. Training courses offered to river users and commercial businesses fronting the River are also jointly administered.
Green Cay was loaded with Roseate Spoonbills this morning. I counted 12 in one group and 7 in another. I caught this one as it approached to land with the sun behind the bird.

I bought this hand made sculpture in Crete
some 30 years ago as a true 3D
replica of a restored mural in the bronze age palace of Knossos where the scene is set against a blue backdrop which I have tried to recreate here.
Sports, stunt or religion? I suppose we shall never have the exact answer as there are no written records and your imagination is as good as anyone else's. Likewise whether its depicting an aurochs or simply a domesticated bull. Some have maintained that the brown male is a worker, whilst the two white dames belong to the nobilty and so shed light on bronze age class society, and I suppose there is much more to be imagined and uttered.
Today I submitted these images to the Royal Photographic Society Associate Distinctions panel and had them accepted. It was a bit nerve wracking but I've learnt a lot . All the images made over the last couple of years with the Hasselblad 501 and Portra. I wanted to thank everyone who has encouraged and supported me with these, thank you.
As a committed republican there is some joking but such is life.
Mick asked to see my Statement of Intent so here is what I submitted from watching the assessment process I'd say it is quite important to give this some thought, here's my effort.
I have played, walked and just stood still in woods since childhood.
I have sought to portray my local woodlands, all within 20 miles of my home in Leeds, through the seasons. My aim in this collection is to invite the viewer to contemplate the changing colour, texture and forms of these places.
Yorkshire is not known for its wooded areas; coast, moor and dales, yes – woods, no. Yet, hidden in the very steep-sided river valleys which cut through the moors of West and North Yorkshire are wild woods. Largely untouched by humans, these old woods cling precariously to their slopes.
I have tried to embrace the interwoven and intricate patterns of these wild woods as they change, in all their complexity.
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feed-back very much

The American Cancer Society's is getting ready to kick off it's annual Relay for Life with a Halloween bash at the I Pink I Can sim (SLURL below) on October 8th. Come out and view the sim and it's many attractions and pick up many exclusive items that have been donated by vendors for a modest donation to the America Cancer Society.

Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Double click image....
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.
The other day our historical society put on 125 years since the first train arrived in Charlevoix. All sorts of festivities went on at the Depot.
