A Semipalmated Plover (Charadrius semipalmatus) poses in golden light on a Massachusetts tidal flat. I used the pot-pod technique to take this photo. (I laid down on the ground and propped my lens up with a pot to get a low angle). I recommend doing that. It really helps with stability when photographing shorebirds.

Soak Testing is a type of performance test that verifies a system's stability and performance characteristics over an extended period of time. It is typical in this type of performance test to maintain a certain level of user concurrency for an extended period of time.
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.
We all do need comfort and stability. We want to make plans and realize our dreams. Let the imagination fly away sometimes. Just to live safely and peacefully. Hope this time will come back to us. Like summer returns.

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.

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.

Singapore has a sensibly regulated free market economy, combined with political stability and certainty based on the rule of law. A laser sharp focus on quality education has produced an industrious and well educated work force. Singapore is probably the only country in that has graduated from being a Third World Country to a First World one within a single generation.
These attributes have attracted many international investors that have turned Singapore into a powerhouse for global business and finance.
Several leading multinational corporations have established their regional headquarters in Singapore, and announce their presence in the form of competing skyscrapers that rival any skyline found in the leading countries of the world.
Well at this point I don't actually know what happened but I was the one holding the camera and aiming to capture this rushing gushing tumbling little cauldron of water at Golitha Falls.. So I take the credit/blame for the shutter speed etc but not the crop factor here. I was using my macro lens as a short telephoto as I now do fairly often as It is a handy focal length. What I don't know is how five shots got cropped/elongated in camera. I did notice at the time that these five photos, shot on continuous high (in the hope some would avoid handshake as not using a tripod in this confined little spot ) were this shape and quickly ran through settings that I use and got back to regular 2x4 size photos but still don't actually know what I touched to make this happen. I do know that the interchangeable dials and joy stick on my Nikon cameras have lead me a dance before- answers on a postcard lol...
Taken at f/5.6 iso 200 @ 1/40 second using a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM and using a small handrail to prop the camera on for stability.
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.
The first time I saw an outrigger canoes in action it was actually 10 years ago in New York Harbor, the annual Liberty Challenge, but my damsel and I were doing what we enjoy, exploring the Lihue area after dropping her sweet daughter at Lihue Airport trying to get a different vantage point of Ninini Point and when we observed the Kaiola Canoe Club rowing in Nawiliwili Bay. Hawai’ian canoes known as outrigger canoes to non-Hawai’ians and wa’a to the natives are Hawai’ian and Polynesian in origin, many variations used by the ancient natives for racing, inter-island travel, in combat. The outrigger attachment providing more stability in the ocean as opposed to canoes on the mainland used primarily on inland rivers where waves are not a factor. There were a dozen wa’a’s in Nawiliwili Bay that afternoon, this image captures as the crew frenetically paddles the rough waters with the Pacific Ocean behind them. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @tokinausa @visit.hawaii @visitkauai @kaiola_canoe_club #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
The Aston Martin DP212 is a regular attendee at Goodwood and other classic events, and attracts a lot of attention with its aerodynamic profile designed to conquer the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. Built on the chassis of a DB4 GT, the bodywork was shaped to enable the car to reach the high speeds required around Le Sarthe, and especially the long Mulsanne straight that in those days was devoid of the chicanes that are in place today.
After failing to complete the 1962 event, and having suffered from stability issues at high speed during the 79 laps it managed to complete, the car was modified to feature the Kamm tail. The aim was to improve DP212's ability to cope with the high speeds of Le Mans. In 1963, the car was entered into the Le Mans 24 Hours with drivers Lucien Bianchi, Jo Schlesser, Richie Ginther and Bill Kimberley, but it never competed, instead Aston Martin used the newer DP214 and DP215 versions.
In 1964 the car was rebuilt and converted to road use, where it wore the registration number AYN 212B, before it returned to race once more in the 1970's where it competed successfully at Silverstone and Brands Hatch in various classic car events.

In the beginning, the seed of the tree was just a small and inconspicuous object, hidden away in the soil. However, with time, it started to grow roots, pushing its way deeper into the earth, seeking nourishment and stability. Slowly but steadily, it began to sprout, breaking through the surface of the soil and reaching towards the sky.
As the tree grew taller and wider, it became a vital part of its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various creatures. It survived through harsh weather conditions, enduring the scorching heat of the sun and the biting cold of winter.
Now, as we see it surrounded by dense fog, the tree appears like a wonder from another world, as if it has emerged from a mythical forest of dreams. The rays of the sun filter through the mist, casting the tree in a hazy glow, making it seem otherworldly and surreal.
The tree's silhouette appears ghostly, with some parts highlighted with a brighter and clearer intensity while others are shrouded in darkness and obscurity. This contrast between the light and shadows enhances the tree's magnificence and mystery.

The journey into homelessness is rarely a singular event, but rather a complex accumulation of personal and systemic fractures. The path likely began with the quiet erosion of stability—perhaps the loss of a long-held career followed by the gradual disintegration of social support. As the fabric of his everyday life unravelled, economic pressures and perhaps health struggles may have removed a safety net to cushion the descent. A story of resilience in the face of immense adversity, illustrating how a person can become unmoored from society's structures, forced to navigate a stark, solitary existence while remaining an often invisible observer of the world.

No, this image does not exist in the real world: The Great Wall in China and the Matterhorn in Switzerland are 8000 km apart. In the spirit of open source software, I can only claim copyright on the derivative work, e.g. for this improved HDR version.
You can generate your own AI image at Stability AI: bit.ly/3JKHs3q
I generated this AI image from text prompt "Great Wall with Matterhorn in the back at sunrise" using Stable Diffusion XL, enlarged it from 1024 pixels to 6144 pixels using Topaz Gigapixel AI, processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from from the resulting image, blended them selectively, and selectively adjusted the color balance and curves.

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.
Oficialmente conocido como Valle de Cuelgamuros desde octubre de 2022.
La nave de la basílica se excavó en la roca y está a un nivel más bajo para realzar el presbiterio y romper la monotonía de un espacio tan largo. Está dividida en cuatro tramos, marcados por series de grandes arcos fajones, cruzados en la bóveda para formar casetones.
Las dimensiones del templo actual son superiores a las de la primitiva perforación, que era de 11 por 11 metros. Las dificultades técnicas de la ampliación del túnel fueron muy grandes por la estructura granítica del risco, con diaclasas que podían producir desprendimientos, hasta el punto de que se tomó la decisión de macizar el túnel existente con los escombros de la ampliación del suelo y costados, y una vez terminada y consolidada esta, proceder al vaciado total. En agosto de 1954 se realizó el revestimiento interior, con grandes arcos fajones hormigonados, así como los laterales y el suelo, lo que contribuye a la estabilidad del conjunto y a la sujeción de la masa de piedra que gravita sobre la bóveda.
Los muros de las capillas albergan los restos de miles de combatientes de ambos bandos de la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939).
The nave of the basilica was excavated in the rock and is at a lower level to enhance the presbytery and break the monotony of such a long space. It is divided into four sections, marked by series of large transverse arches, crossed in the vault to form coffered ceilings.
The dimensions of the current temple are greater than those of the original perforation, which was 11 by 11 meters. The technical difficulties of expanding the tunnel were very great due to the granitic structure of the cliff, with joints that could cause landslides, to the point that the decision was made to solidify the existing tunnel with the debris from the expansion of the floor and sides. and once this is finished and consolidated, proceed to complete emptying. In August 1954, the interior lining was made, with large concreted transverse arches, as well as the sides and the floor, which contributes to the stability of the whole and to the support of the mass of stone that gravitates over the vault.
The walls of the chapels house the remains of thousands of combatants from both sides of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

Photo taken from the Euromast. (no sunshine unfortunately)
Euromast is an observation tower in Rotterdam, Netherlands, designed by Hugh Maaskant constructed between 1958 and 1960. It was specially built for the 1960 Floriade, and is a listed monument since 2010.[5] The tower is a concrete structure with an internal diameter of 9 m (30 ft) and a wall thickness of 30 cm (12 in).[6] For stability it is built on a concrete block of 1,900,000 kg (4,200,000 lb) so that the centre of gravity is below ground. It has a "crow's nest" observation platform 96 m (315 ft) above ground and a restaurant. Originally 101 m (331 ft) in height it was the tallest building in Rotterdam. It lost this position to the high-rise of Erasmus MC (113.5 m, 372 ft)[7] which was completed in 1968, but regained it when the Space Tower was added to the top of the building in 1970, giving an additional 85 m (279 ft). Euromast was the highest building of the Netherlands,[8] but was surpassed by De Zalmhaven, also in Rotterdam, in 2021. It is also a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. In 2008, 2009 and 2019, the tower hosted an extreme sports event which featured BASE jumping.

Improved the stability (you can hold it with one hand, for example) among other things. Made the top more accurate as well. It's composed of two CNG (compressed natural gas) tanks, a window, a grate for maintenance workers to walk on, and an exhaust pipe.
In Flanders Fields by John Mccrea
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for November 9th is “poppies”, in honour of Armistice Day and Veterans Day, both of which are celebrated on the 11th of November every year. This red poppy I actually photographed in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne a year ago, when whilst I visited there, I came across beds full of beautiful poppies in all kinds of colours. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile, and that it helps you reflect and 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.
Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November the 11th, for honouring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
