Last light. North Berwick ... I have no brushes to paint colour in my life....
Trapped with nowhere to go, so many lives changing beyond their control,
Etching this deep pain in the bottom of one’s soul.
While the string pullers crack their whips,
and in doing so control the ebb and flow…
Could we somehow escape; eventually make our way out,
Us the conditioned, concerned, worried, those filled with doubt.
Most not able to express the way they even feel,
let alone see their loved ones for a hug or share a meal.
Tears not visible, silent screams that no one can hear.
They try to speak but there’s nobody to hear….
Emotional pain, grips during the day and through into night,
Leaving many depleted with no strength to fight.
It’s for our own good our masters chant every single day as our minds get darker just like just like the midnight tide as it slowly slips quietly away ….
…."Give me back my brushes"...I desperately say.....
Leuzismus (von altgr. λευκός leukós „weiß“) ist eine Defekt-Mutation bei Tieren, die dazu führt, dass das Fell weiß und die darunterliegende Haut rosa sind, da die Haut keine Melanozyten (farbstoffbildende Zellen) enthält. Im Gegensatz dazu sind beim Albinismus die Zellen zwar vorhanden, aber unfähig, den Farbstoff Melanin zu bilden. Die meisten Formen der Scheckung sind auf abgeschwächte Formen des Leuzismus zurückzuführen.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuzismus
Leucism is a wide variety of conditions which result in the partial loss of pigmentation in an animal—which causes white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticles, but not the eyes. It is occasionally spelled leukism.
'Leucism' is often used to describe the phenotype that results from defects in pigment cell differentiation and/or migration from the neural crest to skin, hair, or feathers during development. This results in either the entire surface (if all pigment cells fail to develop) or patches of body surface (if only a subset are defective) having a lack of cells that can make pigment.
Since all pigment cell-types differentiate from the same multipotent precursor cell-type, leucism can cause the reduction in all types of pigment. This is in contrast to albinism, for which leucism is often mistaken. Albinism results in the reduction of melanin production only, though the melanocyte (or melanophore) is still present. Thus in species that have other pigment cell-types, for example xanthophores, albinos are not entirely white, but instead display a pale yellow colour.
More common than a complete absence of pigment cells is localized or incomplete hypopigmentation, resulting in irregular patches of white on an animal that otherwise has normal colouring and patterning. This partial leucism is known as a "pied" or "piebald" effect; and the ratio of white to normal-coloured skin can vary considerably not only between generations, but between different offspring from the same parents, and even between members of the same litter.

American White Pelicans have a very different way of fishing compared to Brown Pelicans!
I watched these guys take off in groups from the "island" at the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. They all gathered together at one end of the lake - likely > 75. (the image shows a subset of ~30) They formed an extended line and started traveling around the lake close to the shore. periodically they would beat their wings on the water to move the fish towards the shore. Then they would take gulps of water which they filtered to end up with a meal. Cool to see the level of synchronization as they took off sequentially in groups, gathered together and then followed each other closely packed around the entire lake !!.
Cormorants accompany them and dive for their fish - therby driving more fish to the surface for the Pelicans. Synergystic, synchronized fishing for both the Pelicans and Cormorants.

Heliconia, derived from the Greek word helikonios, is a genus of about 100 to 200 species of flowering plants native to the tropical Americas and the Pacific Ocean islands west to Indonesia. Many species of Heliconia are found in rainforests or tropical wet forests of these regions. Common names for the genus include lobster-claws, wild plantains or false bird-of-paradise. The last term refers to their close similarity to the bird-of-paradise flowers (Strelitzia). Collectively, these plants are also simply referred to as heliconias.
The Heliconia are a monophyletic genus in the family Heliconiaceae, but was formerly included in the family Musaceae, which includes the bananas (e.g., Musa, Ensete; Judd et al., 2007). However, the APG system of 1998, and its successor, the APG II system of 2003, confirms the Heliconiaceae as distinct and places them in the order Zingiberales, in the commelinid clade of monocots.
These herbaceous plants range from 0.5 to nearly 4.5 meters (1.5–15 feet) tall depending on the species (Berry and Kress, 1991). The simple leaves of these plants are 15–300 cm (6 in-10 ft). They are characteristically long, oblong, alternate, or growing opposite one another on non-woody petioles often longer than the leaf, often forming large clumps with age. Their flowers are produced on long, erect or drooping panicles, and consist of brightly colored waxy bracts, with small true flowers peeping out from the bracts. The growth habit of heliconias is similar to Canna, Strelitzia, and bananas, to which they are related. The flowers can be hues of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens, and are subtended by brightly colored bracts. The plants typically flower during the wet season. These bracts protect the flowers; floral shape often limits pollination to a subset of the hummingbirds in the region (Gilman and Meerow, 2007).

Leasow foreshore which is situated between New Brighton & Modern. A quiet evening about 8.30 this guy started out on a large surf board and long paddle, unfortunately I had my wide angle lens on and had to crop this a fair bit, he was wonderfully silloueted against the late evening sun.....perfect !

Spotted in Dharavi, one of the largest slum in the world, located in the heart of Mumbai. This place is nestled with multiple small-scale business avenues. This photograph is from the 'Potter's village' (Kumbharwada), a subset of this highly dense world. You may have seen a glimpse of this place in the decade old movie, 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
The residents here actually take offense from that movie.

(Best viewed in low ambient light).
Living in Saint Michel L'Observatoire means there are (reasonably) dark skies and plenty of opportunities for night time photography.
I suppose that night time photography is a subset of low key photography, however getting a night time photograph to look 'right' involves more than a high ISO or a long exposure.
The whole point about night photography is that it involves photographs taken in the dark - if the ISO is too high or the exposure too long, the result begins to look quite artificial and more like a standard day time photograph.
This photo is of the night sky looking north from Saint Michel L'Observatoire. Viewed on a reflective screen in a brightly lit room, the stars and much of the detail become invisible. To get the best from this type of photography, the viewer needs to be in a similar environment to the one that the photograph was taken in - low ambient light.
Sigh... how do I explain this? You're looking at the elaborate grave markers of a certain subset of Irish culture that make up less than one percent of Ireland's population. Be it a wedding or a funeral, no expense is spared; nothing is too elaborate for their families. Yet, by the figures provided by their own national organisation, 84 percent are unemployed, 91 percent leave school before age 16, and while they make up .6 percent of the population, they make up 10 percent of incarcerated men in Ireland and 15 percent of the women. Hmmm... Look closely and you'll see an Audi and a Ford Transit Van, a horse box, a man riding his sulky behind a horse, along with many other items. The most unusual object I found was a stone-carved Nokia flip phone.

We have three subsets of House Finches around here most of the year: red, orange, and yellow. This fellow was kind enough to frame himself and against a brilliant sky to boot. There will be more, but I've got to try my luck again this morning.
here two persons are different from others one in white and the other in saffron costumes.
white is vhaisnava follower other in saffron colour dress is shiva follower these two are the major subsets in Hindu first one worship Vishnu and the other worship siva
thanks for every one for views, faves & comments.
