Fort Jefferson, built on Garden Key of the Dry Tortugas, was constructed in the mid-19th century to protect the shipping lanes accessing the Gulf Coast of the United States. The deep-water anchorage nearby was critical for resupply and refit of vessels and shelter from seasonal Caribbean storms.
Although never actually completed, Fort Jefferson was the largest and most sophisticated in a chain of coastal forts situated along the U.S. coast from Maine to California, becoming a critical enabler to the Union Navy successfully blockading Confederate shipping during the Civil War. In addition to protecting the harbor, it became a prison for Union Army deserters and, for a time, Dr. Samuel Mudd - the physician who was convicted of aiding and abetting John Wilkes Booth.
A remote location, even today, it's hard to fathom the amount of labor and logistics involved in building and provisioning such a formidable structure with the level of precision and durability that allow us to continue to visit it in exceptional condition 175 years after the first bricks were emplaced.

A veces resultan imperceptibles las personas que nos mantienen a flote, forman el armazón sobre el que construimos nuestras vidas. Cuando alguna falla, el viento lo sacude todo, la estabilidad se tambalea y aparece el vértigo . Hay que cuidar cada hilo, hay que añadir hilos nuevos para conseguir "lugares" hermosos en los que vivir
---------------------
Sometimes the people who keep us afloat are imperceptible but they form the framework on which we build our lifes. When something fails, the wind shakes everything, stability staggers and vertigo appears. You have to take care of every thread, you have to add new threads to get beautiful "places" to live
My I struggled with this one - not only capturing it but in the process in trying to keep the colours real and the flow smooth. Well I guess this is what I have come up with and from memory its pretty much how the morning looked. It was from the outing last week with Pixeloc at North Turimetta. Definitely had a fun morning and treated to a delight of a sky. Anyway... all feedback .. harsh as it may be ... is required.
(Daniel: Yep...got soaked from the backwash hitting a set of rocks behind me more than the front waves...Fun!)
Stability...I had two of the legs between rocks and I lent down pretty hard on it! Most of the shots where stable thankfully...Appreciate all the comments!
Its a single exposure using a Cokin GND8 for the sky. Thanks for looking as always.

19-July-2020: however the sun has already acted on the layered fog, which I will deepen with the next shots to post, combining it in more dynamic banks of fog, ready to rise and dissipate in the summer sultry-misty air.
The time to photograph these phenomena, in the height of summer, is few minutes after sunrise (I did some shots at dawn, before sunrise, with the tripod, to take a few more minutes), which warms from the first ray and we are talking about 5 CEST in the morning during the longest days of early summer, with the very first lights already at 3.40 in the morning/late night.
The result of a night's work is dissipated in 10-15 minutes.
In autumn and winter the phenomenon lasts longer and occurs at much more "common times" (between 7 and 8 in the morning), but is less frequent due to a greater meteorological dynamism and the frequent influx of the Bora wind (here mostly "in utero") that mixes the air preventing the local inversion and the formation of the hydrometeoric phenomena associated with it.
In summer, as mentioned, the greater atmospheric stability and the scarce presence of mixing winds favors the phenomena of (night) thermal inversion.

DESCRIPTION OF HISTORIC PLACE
The Alex Houston Residence consists of a modest 1 1/2 storey wood-frame house on a country lot. It is within view of the Fraser River and is located in the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Derby Reach Park in NW Langley, British Columbia.
HERITAGE VALUE
Built in 1909 by Alexander Houston, the Houston Residence is important for its historic significance in terms of its association with the Houston family, its location, and the period in which it was built. It is also an important example of a community-led restoration that combined the resources of the Langley Heritage Society and the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
The Houstons were an important family in British Columbia's history. Alex's father, James, is credited for being the first European to discover gold along the Fraser River, the first independent farmer in the Fraser Valley, one of 33 men to petition the government for an incorporation of the district, and one of the first councillors when Langley was incorporated as a District in 1873.
Alex took over the family cattle and dairy farming business in 1902 (after the death of his father). He was the only son of James and was himself an important pioneer in the Derby area. His family was very active in the community until the 1950's, having established and hosted the community May Day celebrations and donating land for a commemorative cairn across the street from his house, marking the site of the first Fort Langley.
The farmsite stands on what was originally land occupied by the first Hudson's Bay Company Fort (1827) and later by the Townsite of Derby (1859). It is a focal point for Derby historical interpretations.
The Houston farmsite reminds visitors that resource-based industries found throughout the province (mining, logging and fishing) were only some of the major forces shaping British Columbia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The resource-based industries were comprised primarily of single men, while the small farms were comprised of families. Small-scale family farms like this one provided an economic base for the industries mentioned above, and they provided the social stability that was necessary for a growing colony.

By breaking his word, by refusing the diplomatic route, by choosing war, President Putin has not only attacked Ukraine. He has decided to carry out the most serious attack on peace, on stability in our Europe. To this act of war, we will respond without weakness, with composure, determination and unity.

Crimp terminals. The red and blue ones are spade lugs, the yellow ones are for butt splices. The colors refer to the wire gauges (sizes) the terminals accommodate: red for 22-16 AWG (about 0.33mm² to 1.31 mm²), blue for 16-14 AWG (1.31mm² to 2.08mm²), and yellow for 12-10 AWG (3.31mm² to 5.26mm²).
To say this was tricky was an understatement. Working on the project a day earlier and summoning up as much patience as possible certainly helped, but my stability-challenged hands made it difficult, even with the use of tools to nudge and straighten these small parts. I spent considerable time on a different layout, but I had to pass on the finished product as leaving space would push the finished dimensions past the 3" (76.2mm) limit.
The Parthenon (/ˈpɑːrθəˌnɒn, -nən/; Ancient Greek: Παρθενών; Greek: Παρθενώνας, Parthenónas) is a former temple, on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization,and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis, were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory.The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.

She'd known beauty, unconditional love. She had her place, stability in the spring. As the maiden, she'd known joy in the seeming endlessness of the unknown. It was only when she faced that vastness that she could truly grasp her womanhood. It's not just a step into the dark, but the acceptance of it. Acknowledgement of the duality within herself, as well as shedding the security of those comforts she knew so well.
Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations
project with a tribute to solidarity.

The town was formed from part of the town of Chateaugay in 1805. The town was originally named "Harison", after Richard Harison who had purchased the land and founded the town. The name was changed in 1808 to "Ezraville", after Ezra L'Hommedieu, and in 1812 to "Malone".

While in John Day Fossil Beds we visited Cant Ranch, a historically preserved farm that now doubles as a ranger office building. It was a very interesting area, and certainly beautiful but I was having trouble trying to find a composition that gave any kind of wow factor. The sun was low, and I wanted to work with that. I tried to use the house, the composition of light and shadow, and the sun breaking together. When I see a ranch I think early mornings and fresh air. I placed the sun over the house to evoke a feeling of sunrise and a fresh new day. The house is intended to evoke stability, formalism and the omnipresent force of routine that instills all farms. The light and the shadow is intended to represent the relationship between the promise and the peril of the farming business/lifestyle.
Anyway, I hope you (the viewer) got a fraction of that when you looked at it.
I am playing in Stability Ai for the first time today....

A 156 second 10 stop long exposure of Aberdeen beach,
with the solid wooden groyne posts through the centre of the image.
We are on a red buggy pulled by Marshmallow, our little Haflinger. A lot of my shots are taken from here - thank goodness for in camera image stabilization by Olympus that does a fantastic job. I also use a little monopod to give a little more stability and perspective. I hate that Roy "roached" her mane. I kept at him until he has let it grow out to its beautiful fullness! The first time we took her, we had had her shoed at home with some shoes that we thought would give her traction. Turned out, though, that those roads are so slick from all the horse travel and also so steep in a lot of places that she absolutely couldn't stand up. I got scared she was going to break a leg. As you can see in the pic there is also nowhere to get on the shoulder. In a lot of places there is a little ditch cut through besides. Roy had to get off and lead her. She sensed that she couldn't stand up and was putting her feet down like a little old woman and even then skating as we went. We finally got her back to where she was boarding and told our friend what was happening. Of course, he knew what needed to be done and got a blacksmith over right away. He put something on the shoes called drill tec and as soon as we got her back out on the road, she knew it was a different ballgame and confidently went on her way again - animals are so smart!!
Night Noir
Today, for the very end of this art Monday, I take you on a night walk through Karlovac, into Radićeva Street. I captured a newly installed lamp burning, and on it – the delicate art of a spiderweb. It was a fight against strong winds that swung the threads, and my R7 tracking the motion hand-held at a telephoto length (270mm!). The result is a night drama, a Noir moment blessed by Srećko’s patience in the dark, because I know if it were any different, it wouldn't be right.
Noćni Noir
Danas, za sam kraj ovog art ponedjeljka, vodim vas u noćnu šetnju Karlovcem, u Radićevu ulicu. Uhvatio sam novo postavljenu laternu kako gori, a na njoj – krhku umjetnost paučine. Bila je to borba s jakim vjetrom koji je njihao niti, i mojim R7 koji je pratio pokret iz ruke na telefoto duljini (270mm!). Rezultat je noćna drama, Noir trenutak koji je Srećko blagoslovio svojim strpljenjem u mraku, jer znam da je bilo drugačije ne bi valjalo.
Welcome to Bondi's 'Sculptures By The Sea', 2025.

Note: I have added two new videos of 'Sculptures By The Sea', 2025, to all of the sculpture pictures that I have posted.
So this is Sculpture 67 entitled 'Enigmatic' by the Danish artist Steffie Talks. 'Enigmatic' is located along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, just near MacKenzies Bay.
Steffie says: "My sculpture 'Enigmatic' explores the balance between strength and vulnerability, reflecting the spectrum of human emotions and experiences. It symbolises the dualities of stability and change, the known and the unknown, and the ongoing transformation of life."
And here now is the German band 'Enigma' with the haunting song 'Sadeness, Part One'. Perfect for listening to while observing Bondi's sculptures in 2025.

Ce n'est que ma première photo de 2025 avec ce geai des chênes que j'ai photographié à 10 mètres sans affût mais bien assis sur mon fauteuil avec mon trépied et ma tête pendulaire pour la stabilité..
Parce que la météo n'était pas favorable dans ma région..!!
Un grand merci à tous pour vos visites, vos commentaires, et vos coups de coeur aussi, qui sont toujours très appréciés.

This is only my first photo of 2025 with this jay that I photographed at 10 meters without a hide but sitting on my chair with my tripod and my pendulum head for stability..
Because the weather was not favorable in my region..!!
A big thank you to all for your visits, your comments, and your favorites too, which are always very appreciated.
Hofskirkja Church, dedicated to saint Clement, was built in 1884, and was the last turf church built in the old architectural style. Its walls are thick and assembled of rocks to give stability as well as insulation, an important element to consider in the Icelandic climate. The roof is made of stone slabs and covered in turf. It is one of six churches in Iceland still standing, which are preserved as historical monuments.

The often-observed "heart" pattern, which occurs when two swans turn their necks toward each other, is, from an ethological perspective, part of ritualized courtship and bonding behaviors. Such synchronized movements strengthen the pair bond through repeated positive social interaction and simultaneously serve to communicate stability to other swans.
I have also observed on another occasion how a third swan attempted to disrupt this courtship display.
“Lest we forget” – three very simple, yet also very powerful words. First used in an 1897 poem written by Rudyard Kipling called “Recessional”, to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, they caution us to be careful not to forget.
As we take a moment this Armistice Day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace, prosperity and stability, and those who fight today to protect us still, let us also hope that conflicts around the world will come to a swift conclusion, not least of all in Ukraine and in Gaza
Armistice Day or Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. It falls on the 11th of November every year. Remembrance Day is marked at eleven o’clock (the time that the armistice was declared) with a minute’s silence to honour the fallen. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.
