Without tripod, amongst crowd at Texas' South Padre Island (SP Isla), my POINT and SHOOT was on manual but many fireworks were too bright to thrill you.
Instead I rested my camera on the roof of a friend's jeep as we joyfully watched the night sky light up over the Laguna Madre. Tired I rested myself on the jeep's hood, using its stability to avoid wiggle and ripple effects from fotografer''s instability upon snapping camera for "THE SHOT". Close up on that hood, I noticed REFLECTIONS from above. Finding I could see BEAUTY in a different way, I had my camera on manual and during a series of fotos, altered the focus from macro, to infinity, and with that stop in between. The sky show went on for about 35 minutes. I sure enjoyed myself and hope you consider these well shared. Without your support and friendship, taking fotos would not be as much fun. Joy much. Try doing it differently than normal. You may get lucky and take an UNFORGETTABLE FOTO.

I think the idea of "falling" marble ball was hovering somewhere in the noosphere, waiting for today`s Macro Mondays Dutch Angle theme :) I also independently catched it, so now catch my tiny (around 11 mm) ball to this small collection :)
► █░▓ ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽ 🐆 INSTEAD of RHINOs, HIPPOs and LIONs, this moving construction appeared at high noon. A large man-made object translating with a conspicuous speed through the calm waters.
It's the local passenger ferry, heading from Sleeuwijk to Werkendam along the Boven Merwede river. The shape of the ferry is striking and ingenious. It is not only adding to the stability of the vessel, it may as well hint on catamaran build. I imagine somebody must have gotten a prize for corporate identity design here. The idea has been conceived and consequentially applied — from bridges and lock gate sentry boxes to ferry boats and the town hall building (the roof of latter you can just see perking above the bow of the ferry). I guess the underlying idea was to resemble a wave, as the town historically couples its existence with the waters of this mighty river, the largest Rhine branch in its Lowlands delta. At this point already enforced by the most of Meuse waters (Afgedamde Maas). –Everything has been marked up for your convenience.
However. After two decades of letting it sink in my impartial observing, I must come up with a following verdict... I don't like it. Its hyper-modern implementation somehow doesn't blend with the historic environment. Which has in essence remained rural, in spite of all the recent development.
—To my utter amazement, the vessel's bridge was in darkness, the front and rear windows completely shielded by the roller blinds. Yes, the light was very bright, a mere minute after high noon. But I would never have guts to rely only on monitor screens when navigating in such busy waters. Not to mention the summer low levels...
Lumix G90 / Lumix 12-35 mm f2.8. —At 33mm (66mm in full frame) and f6.3 aperture priority. Shutter speed of 1/640 sec freezes movement of the ferry which has considerable speed.

The skate park in front of the European Central Bank a week ago. It was so dark I could harldy see the kids zipping by, and I had forgotten my camera was still set to ISO 200, but the miracles of IBIS kept the stage sharp. In the end I liked the effect.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)

The LAAT is hands down my favorite ship design in all of Star Wars. It’s my white whale- a ship I’ve always wanted to build but never quite had the confidence to attempt it.
There’s a whole bunch of amazing MOCs out there. I think i was slightly intimidated by the sheer number of quality MOCs- how could I put my own spin on such a popular ship?
Furthermore, it’s a complicated design- with a good deal of angles, curves, and complicated details all around the ship: a whole bunch of distinctive design elements that were crucial to get right.
I started with Dave Bucholz's design and ended up with a rather colourful version using the bricks I had to hand. I was very impressed with the structural stability of the model. It was as solid as a rock. I slowly began replacing parts of his model with my own ideas which continued over a few months until it was almost entirely replaced- I think the only portion that remains is the technique used to mount the guns in the chin and a few errant lift arms that were integral in keeping the chin attached to the rest of the ship!
I was about satisfied with my version until I saw Luca_S_Project's Instagram story and subsequent conversations with other builders convinced me to try brick building the sides of the nose rather than using plates. I’m glad I persevered, despite being so deep into the project and convinced I was almost done, because the solution I found turned out to be quite neat.
Blast across oceans, deserts and mountains in Llwyngwril Systems' latest land-yacht: The Keel. High speeds and directional stability are assured, due its unique design.
NB: Several kilometres of turning space are required to avoid tall obstacles.

6:18 one of the last photos of the session in the long awaited mist or rather fog. I was looking also for some sun but there were no rays at all. The light was easy anyway - lower the contrasts, better the backgrounds. Beautiful morning in the type I like very much.

For some reason, starting with this photo chosen randomly, willows seem to have a cosmic significance for me tonight. I keep coming across references to them. Maybe I'm in a strange attractor eddy about them.
I looked up the symbolic meaning of willows, and they signify stability, hope, and recovery, which bodes well for 2022.

Some friends told me a few days ago to make a different plan on the coast, and what better plan to do that a bit of hiking to go to a beach located in a natural park and then stay to see the Perseids?
The Cañuelo Beach (or Poets Cove), is located at Punta Camarinal, between the towns of Zahara de los Atunes and Tarifa. To access it from the Camarinal Lighthouse, we have to go down through sand paths surrounded by bushes that pass near the edge of the cliffs. A wonderful place, that unfortunately has suffered a deliberate fire recently, which has destroyed a good part of the pine grove located behind the beach. After enjoying the beach for a couple of hours, we returned to the lighthouse. As I always do in these cases, I prepare the composition before the sun goes down. Then I photographed during the blue hour, to adapt the exposure as it got darker. Before the darkness was complete, I illuminated the foreground until I achieved the effect I wanted, in the end that has been my base photo, since the sharpness was quite good and the light more in line with a night picture than the ones I took at the blue hour. When I finally saw stability in the brightness of the sky, I used the camera's intervalometer to take continuous 20 second shots (with a one second interval between them), hoping to capture a shooting star.
The Perseids are a meteor shower that radiate from the constellation of Perseus, northeast direction from the northern hemisphere, being its longest period of activity between August 11 and 13. So although it would have been easier to capture more including more sky in the image, I risked with the composition that I wanted, and I got two of them, but this in the picture was the most spectacular. My wish to capture a Perseid came true.

“No importa la edad que tengas, si mantienes el deseo de ser creativo, no envejecerás.” John Cassavetes.
Unos amigos me comentaron hace unos días de hacer un plan diferente en la costa, ¿y qué mejor plan que hacer un poco de senderismo para ir a una playa situada en un parque natural y después quedarnos a ver la lluvia de estrellas de las Perseidas?
La Playa del Cañuelo (o Cala de los Poetas), se encuentra en la Punta Camarinal, entre las localidades de Zahara de los Atunes y Tarifa. Para acceder a ella desde el Faro de Camarinal, hay que bajar por caminos de arena rodeados de arbustos que pasan cerca del borde de los acantilados. Un lugar maravilloso, que desgraciadamente ha sufrido un incendio intencionado hace poco, que se ha llevado por delante una buena parte del pinar situado tras la playa. Tras disfrutar de la playa durante un par de horas, volvimos al faro. Como siempre hago en estos casos, preparo la composición antes de la caída del sol. Luego fotografié durante la hora azul, para ir adaptando la exposición conforme oscurecía. Antes de que la oscuridad fuera completa, iluminé el primer plano hasta conseguir el efecto que quería, en la que al final ha sido mi foto base, ya que la nitidez era bastante buena y la luz más acorde a una fotografía nocturna que las que realicé a la hora azul. Cuando ya por fin aprecié estabilidad en la luminosidad del cielo, utilicé el intervalómetro de mi cámara para realizar fotos continuas de 20 segundos (con un 1 segundo de intervalo entre ellas), con la esperanza de capturar alguna estrella fugaz.
Las Perseidas son una lluvia de meteoros que radian de la constelación de Perseo, dirección noreste desde el hemisferio norte, siendo su mayor período de actividad entre el 11 y el 13 de agosto. Así que aunque hubiera sido más fácil capturar alguna incluyendo más cielo en la imagen, me arriesgué con la composición que quería, y al final un par de ellas entraron en ella, siendo ésta la más espectacular. Mi deseo de capturar una Perseida se hizo realidad.
This couple was doing a type of isometrics, holding positions with the tree and rock for stability. About 40 feet away from my perch.
F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff on a carrier
This guy clearly has brass balls and you know the sailors on the flight deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them.
Unintentional?
This is unbelievable!
F-35 unintentional (?) loop at takeoff a real "check your laundry" event. A supremely well-trained US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead
of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million, F-35 joint strike force fighter, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt... Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem.
There's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he would have. Looks like the afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and do a little more "regressive testing". This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control...
If he didn't come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him!
Add to this flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equipment malfunctions, as in "flame out". The F-35 is single engine aircraft with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has the aerodynamics of a Steinway piano at zero airspeed. This is themost unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see in your life.
This Guy deserves a Medal for saving a 70 Million Dollar Aircraft!
You'll watch it at least 2 times!
there is stability in walking an uncertain path, because you never allow yourself to be misled by what you think you know.

"The drama of this landscape is in the sky, pouring with light and always moving. The earth is passive. And yet the beauty I am struck by, both as present fact and as revived memory, is a fusion: this sky would not be so spectacular without this earth to change and glow and darken under it. And whatever the sky may do, however the earth is shaken or darkened, the Euclidean perfection abides. The very scale, the hugeness of simple forms, emphasizes stability. It is not hills and mountains which we should call eternal. Nature abhors an elevation as much as it abhors a vacuum; a hill is no sooner elevated than the forces of erosion begin tearing it down. These prairies are quiescent, close to static; looked at for any length of time, they begin to impose their awful perfection on the observer's mind. Eternity is a peneplain."
- Wallace Stegner, Wolf Willow
Some moments endure forever in the heart and mind. This one occurred 11 years ago, and it seems like yesterday. I remember driving the country road in the cool pre-dawn air of a midsummer day, seeing the glow expanding to fill the eastern horizon, pulling over. What to do, what to do? Sunrises, like sunsets, are a dime a dozen, right? I remember looking about for something, anything, to anchor a photograph - a fence, a tree, an old shed - and coming up blank.
And then, the realization that I didn't need anything; the sky itself was my subject. The earth itself could anchor it. I reached for a 300mm lens, and instantly knew how to frame my shot, with the earth a thin strip at the bottom, the illuminated sky filling the frame. The best moment came just before the sun appeared. An archetypal moment. The moment before the world is born.

Swahili racing teams come together several times a year to compete in traditional hand-crafted Arabic-styled Mashua dhows in the Lamu Archipelago just off Kenya's northern Swahili Coast.
Intense village rivalries build over the years, often reaching pitch fever on race day. This magnificent racing dhow and crew are in the lead as they move into the final leg of the race. They are the ultimate winners and will return to their village on the island of Pate with team bragging rights and a certain village swagger that will likely last several months until the next race.
Six crewmen in the lead dhow are perched on an adjustable plank that hangs out over the choppy waters for added balance, speed, and stability. About sixteen young crewmen all together are crowded into each dhow to give the necessary weight, balance and stability against a stiff coastal trade wind.
The ubiquitous trade winds have been instrumental in the evolution of Swahili culture and commerce over the years since it was first established in the 14th Century as an Omani trading outpost and settlement on the classic coastal run between Zanzibar and the Arabic world further to the north.
The art of Swahili dhow racing requires considerable team skill as the dhows tack and manoeuvre back and forth through the Manda channel and ultimately out to the edge of the open sea. The finest dhows are selected from each village to race under sail through a complicated series of buoys, combining speed and balance with elaborate tacking and maneuvering competence.
The races are usually organized in conjunction with a cultural festival or an Islamic religious holiday. This Shela-based race on the island of Lamu is organized yearly by Peponi's on New Year's Day.

The legislative elections were held on February 6 peacefully in this country known as a bastion of stability and democratic governance in Africa. Since 2008, UNDP has supported the modernization and consolidation of electoral system through its support of the National Electoral Commission.
UNDP has mobilized 700,000 USD from the Spanish Cooperation, which has given continuity to the activities of the regional project to support the public administration reform , contributing to the consolidation of the National System of Identification and Authenticity Civil (SNIAC). This project which aims to strengthen the infrastructural support of SINIAC, has contributed to the acquisition of equipment for three databases containing biometric information.
As a prelude, the UNDP has supported the organization of the first voter registration in Cape Verde using the biometric information. The project contributed also for capacity development by training, approximately 600 trainers and operators kits census at a national level and had as well conduct an extensive information and education campaign in order to sensitized people to realize their participation' s right. The project has also created an integrated database containing biometric information for the election, as well for civil and border services.
Capeverdean diaspora has been the subject of special attention. Whith UNDP, the country has implemented a strategy census of its population living abroad, through funds raised from Government of Luxembourg, and reaching more than 30,000 people before the election period.
Cape Verde has few natural resources, with a population of 500,000 people distributed in 4000Km2, and a cultivable area of 10%. However, since January 2008, the country was graduated from the category of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) for Middle Income Countries (MICs). This important step recognizes the success of an independent country since 1975 including the choice of development based on human capital, services, new information technologies, tourism, agriculture and fisheries, among others, which have significant reduction of poverty (49% of the population in 1989 to 26.6% in 2007), growth of real GDP per capita (from 902 USD in 1990 to $ 3,306 in 2008), and a significant improvement living conditions of the population. These achievements and successes are attributed to a harmonious political and economic governance, with political stability and, in a context of sustainable peace, because of social and economic development a priority in the national agenda of development.
In this context, UNDP plays a catalytic role in cooperation with national agencies within the UN system, particularly the strengthening of national institutions, through the component e-governance "of its Governance program.
Long-tailed Tit - Aegithalos Caudatus
The long-tailed tit is globally widespread throughout temperate northern Europe and Asia, into boreal Scandinavia and south into the Mediterranean zone. It inhabits deciduous and mixed woodland with a well-developed shrub layer, favouring edge habitats. It can also be found in scrub, heathland with scattered trees, bushes and hedges, in farmland and riverine woodland, parks and gardens. The bird's year-round diet of insects and social foraging bias habitat choice in winter towards deciduous woodland, typically of oak, ash and locally sycamore species. For nesting, strong preference is shown towards scrub areas. The nest is often built in thorny bushes less than 3 metres above the ground.
The nest of the long-tailed tit is constructed from four materials - lichen, feathers, spider egg cocoons and moss, with over 6,000 pieces used for a typical nest. The nest is a flexible sac with a small, round entrance on top, suspended either low in a gorse or bramble bush or high up in the forks of tree branches. The structural stability of the nest is provided by a mesh of moss and spider silk. The tiny leaves of the moss act as hooks and the spider silk of egg cocoons provides the loops; thus forming a natural form of velcro. The tit lines the outside with hundreds of flakes of pale lichens - this provides camouflage. Inside, it lines the nest with more than 2,000 downy feathers to insulate the nest. Nests suffer a high rate of predation with only 17% success.
Outside the breeding season they form compact flocks of 6 to 17 birds, composed of family parties (parents and offspring) from the previous breeding season, together with any extra adults that helped to raise a brood. These flocks will occupy and defend territories against neighbouring flocks. The driving force behind the flocking behaviour is thought to be that of winter roosting, being susceptible to cold; huddling increases survival through cold nights.
From July to February, the non-breeding season, long-tailed tits form flocks of relatives and non-relatives, roosting communally. When the breeding season begins, the flocks break up, and the birds attempt to breed in monogamous pairs. Males remain within the winter territory, while females have a tendency to wander to neighbouring territories.
Pairs whose nests fail have three choices: try again, abandon nesting for the season or help at a neighbouring nest. It has been shown that failed pairs split and help at the nests of male relatives, recognition being established vocally. The helped nests have greater success due to higher provisioning rates and better nest defence. At the end of the breeding season, in June–July, the birds reform the winter flocks in their winter territory.

I shot this picture in 1983
I arrived to Bishops Cannings to take a service one Sunday evening in late January to find the church had the most magnificently coloured clouds for a backdrop, in the deep magenta of late twilight when they're just catching the sun at the right angle. Fortunately, I had the D750 with me; less fortunately, I had forgotten the correct fitting for the tripod, so I had to use fencing and gravestones for stability, and even then had to be careful not to the let the exposure time get too long, so I had to shoot at a noisy ISO of 6400. Also, it was a big, sub-regional service, and I was under time pressure. So I'm pleased with this but also frustrated I didn't do better.
The Wiltshire village of Bishops Cannings is dominated by the spire of its fine parish church, St Mary the Virgin.
This church may be built on the site of a Saxon original but the magnificent 41 metre spire was added during the 15th Century church expansion boom on top of a late 12th Century building. Although the village even today has a population of only 1,800 or so, the chantry chapel attached to the church was richly endowed with lands, making this one of the most impressive village parish churches in Wiltshire, and a prominent landmark from the A361 Devizes to Avebury road.

…the Qing Tombs,”Dingling”, Dìnglíng literally meaning "Tomb of Stability".
The Eastern Tombs of the Qing dynasty are located 125 km Northeast of Beijing. The Qing dynasty, also known as Qing Empire, was the last imperial dynasty of China, established in 1636, following the Ming Dynasty, ruling China for 368 years from 1644 to 1912,
The Eastern Tombs of the Qing dynasty basic layout consists of three sections
& considered as the largest, most complete & best preserved existing mausoleum complex in China. Altogether, five emperors, 15 empresses, 136 imperial concubines, three princes & two princesses of the Qing dynasty are buried here.
The last Emperor of China from the Qing Dynasty was Pu Yi, after being a Marionette for the Japanese occupier, years in Soviet & Chinese prisons, the lived the last years of his life until 1967 as librarian & a gardener in Beijing’s botanic garden. Under the then laws, his body was cremated in a crematorium & buried first in the Beijing Revolutionary Cemetery Babaoshan. In 1995, his widow moved the urn to a cemetery outside the city, near the traditional tombs of his Qing ancestors.
Eastern Tombs of the Qing dynasty are surrounded by Changrui, Jinxing, Huanghua & Yingfei Daoyang Mountains, the tomb complex stretches over a total area of 80 square kilometres.
Due to the distance to Beijing, few tourist find their way to the Qing Mausoleum, neither is it much promoted by the tourist office & travel agencies, therefor there is a special atmosphere, relaxing, just like traveling through forgotten time & spaces.

And a little jazz tune from planet earth:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2SAmDJ_SMg
When I was in my 40's, I used to dress up and go to a cigar club owned by one of the Hollywood legends on Saturday nights. It had smoky mahogany walls and ceilings and beautiful, rich red elegant chairs that one could almost melt into, fantastic oil paintings on the walls.. I was often the only woman there, and those of us there knew we were there for the gorgeous piano jazz. The place is gone now, but I have lovely memories of the music, and can go back if I close my eyes.
