... in a shady haven at La Palmyre on the west coast of France
"Happy bath day guys! And don't forget to wash behind your ears!"
Zoom in while in lightbox and on full screen, and just drink it all in¹ . But not the water, of course, that would be yucky.
Some of the birds, both male and female, are covering eggs in nest mounds of mud; while others are sleeping, reflecting, fishing or just looking for the soap like that loner on the far left. Or is he drowning?
Can you spot the two whitish chicks, in separate nests, yet to be colourized by what they eat though seemingly already in the pink²?
The house is there to make the birds feel a little more at home. And, would you believe, the soap for behind the ears is on the house³ . Shh!!!
I hope, my friends, that you too are in a safe haven and in the pink,
Colin...
¹ to drink in = savourer / apprécier
² to be in the pink = être en pleine forme
³ on the house = offert par la maison

Over the vast, snowy regions that the people of the Varulev Empire call home, only the toughest of vehicles can thrive. Thankfully, the mobile artillery unit known as the Krigshund is ideal for the job.
Acting as a mobile turret to support the Wardens of Varulev, Krishund tanks move over the rough terrain with the speed of a mountain lion, and have plenty of bite to their frame as well.
Their primary cannon is the Rail Driver, a long range gun capable of firing EMP like bolts of energy that disables the vehicles of most foes, or a deadly blast of plasma should the situation grow dire.
In addition, the Krigshund has two sets of rear mountain pulse carbines, for combating infantry should it get too close, and a set of front mounted flame throwers for clearing nearby snow or enemy troops.
Though it's internal area is not designed for carrying many troops, the Krigshund comfortably carries a Driver and Gunner, who control the tank using VR technolgy and external cameras, so that the armour has no weaknesses that a crafty adversary may exploit.
The Krigshund fulfils the Armour category for Decisive Action 4.

Hanging from the façade of the Deutsches Technikmuseum by the side of the Landwehrkanal is a Douglas C47 "rosinen bomber" European Air Transport Service.
"Light of the Orient" or in Chinese "东方之光" is the name of this giant sculpture at the eastern end of Century Avenue, forming the entrance to Century Square.
The sculpture is actually a giant sundial, made from stainless steel. The large elliptical frame measures 400 square meters and the total length of the stainless steel tubes used exceeds 6,000 meters.
Explore #357 on Sunday, February 28, 2010
Added info, due to frequent questions, as most tourists never see this place:
The sculpture is in place since at least April 2001 - that's when I took my first ever photo of it (on slide film at that time). It's pretty far out on Century Avenue. As this avenue makes a turn after about 2 thirds of it's length, the sculpture can not be seen from the core zone of Lujiazui Financial District.
If one goes to visit a) the Science and Technolgy Musuem or to b) Century Park by subway (as nearly all tourists visiting these places do - but only few tourists ever visit them), one passes right under the sculpture and never sees it. And because it's too far out, all just take the subway back - and miss it again.
One will only accidentally "stumble over" it if:
- one walks down all Century Avenue (way too far - takes at least an hour from the Pearl Tower)
- goes by bus from Lujiazui to one of the 2 places mentioned above (but needs to find out what line - this info is only available in Chinese....)
- takes a taxi to one of the 2 places mentioned above (but needs to tell the taxi driver the place name in Chinese....)
- drives his/her own car / rented car to one of the 2 places mentioned above (but one needs a Chinese driver's license to drive / rent a car in China....), that's the way I found it back in 2001.
So, don't be disappointed if you have missed it, for the average tourist it's nearly impossible to just "stumble over" it. Even many Shanghaiese from Puxi don't know about this place.
Best approach: Subway line 2 (e.g. from Lujiazui), exit at the Science and Technology Museum station and walk back towards the previous station just a little bit (at most 10 minutes walk to the sculpture). Back to Lujiazui (or wherever) by subway from the Science and Technology Museum station again.

After a souring of relations in the United States, William Lyon MacKenzie accepted a pardon and returned to Canada in 1849 and was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1851. He again began to call for True Reform, attacking many of the people and ideas he had gone after in the past. And while he prevented George Brown and the Clear Grits from allying themselves with the Hincks Government, instead it saw the creation of a centre Liberal-Conservative party with an alliance between Sir Allan MacNab's Tories and the Hincks Reformers. His confidence gone and failing health he resigned in 1858 buying a house in Toronto. Here he softened his views, repaired broken relationships and died in 1861. His final home, pictured here, is now a living history museum on Bond Street in Toronto.

As we left the city of Rhodes for the ruins of ancient Kamirus we drove along the habor area. Here at the entrance of the old harbor stands two columns with bronze deer statues on them.Many people felt that where these columns stand is where the Colossus of Rhodes stood, but this is not correct.
The Colossus of Rhodes was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. It was commissioned to Chares of Lindos and built by the his teacher Lysippo between 304 and 293 BC, which took 12 years and was completed in 282 BC. The statue represented their sun god Helios, which stood at the harbor entrance and was 73 feet high.
It stood close to the harbor but straight legged not spanning any area; technolgy was insufficient to raise a statue of this size with legs spread. An earthquake hit Rhodes in 226 BC badly damaging the town and toppling the Colossus. Then about 1400 AD an Italian visited the city and wrote a poem about walking through the legs of the Colossus and that is where this misconception originated. It stood close to this point but not spanning it.

Born in 1804, Robert Baldwin was not a natural politician or speaker. Yet he built on what his Father started in the reform movement. And while he had a tendency to quit and retire to a quiet private life, he continued to come back, eventually finding a friend and ally Louis LaFontaine. Together the two men unified a divided Parliament and achieved the goal of Responsible Government in 1849. He also created the framework for the Municipal Governments of today extending the idea of Democracy and Responsible Government to the local councils. The stress combined with internal divisions again beginning to show, he resigned in 1851, and passed away in 1858. His tomb, pictured here, is among the other Baldwins who shaped Toronto at St. James Cemetery.

I had one like this growing up but ours was cream coloured. It was supplied by BT (British Telecom). It was a state owned until 1982. My current phone is cordless Panasonic. It has a built in answering machine in its base unit. It also fits in my hand. Its amazing how Technology has changed! Taken at the Vintage Technolgy display at the Scottish Vintage Bus Musuem, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.
I know I'm proud of my school's "Science and Technolgy Library." Maybe it's just my intellectual snobbery shining through, but this is embarrassing.
I have been tagged (by keroleen73) and asked to provide 16 random facts about me, so here we go:
1. I changed my lastname twice in my life - maybe I can shake them off...
2. When I was twenty and did alternative civilian service, we had to take part in a two week seminar. In the evening there were optional subjects one could take part in - At that occasion I learned how black and white photography works, how to make prints etc... since that time I am addicted to photography and I still have the equipment for the chemical process in the cellar.
3. I learned chess from my grandpa when I was six - and when my little sister was three, I taught her to play too. I used jelly bears as motivation - she's not playing anymore (probably fed up with jelly bears).
4. Until I was 16 I was always the odd one out. Two years later I was elected 'president' - weird thing... the less you care if you are popular, the more popular you get?
5. I don't believe there is a god - but if there is, I think she will forgive me...
6. I read all books by Terry Pratchett (I hope there are more to come). I also read Douglas Adams (who hasn't?) and Robert Rankin.
People who read these kind of books tend to become crazy lunatics. Weirdly enough I remained completly sane!!!!!
7. I decided my career would be in information technolgy when I was faszinated by computers as a kid of about 8 years. I asked my dad how they work - he usually could explain all that technical stuff, but he had to pass on computers - so I had to find out myself.
8. I live with my wife, my two daughters, a dog and two cats (didn't count all the small bugs and germs creeping around in human dwellings). [update: and my son][
9. I don't like shopping - that is probably the main reason why I usually wear only one pair of shoes until they break and I have to buy a new pair. (I am also afraid of the shoe event horizon and therefore try to buy as few shoes as possible.
10. I spent three days in a hospital when I was 10 years old or so. I turned around to see if my friend was watching when I was riding a bike freehandedly... don't look back!
11. I can't live without coffee - I admit it, I am addicted. But I quit smoking after smoking for 12 years - just from one day to the other.
12. I would have a big collections of single malt whiskeys if I was rich.
13. Not all of my facts start with "I"
14. I usually don't like pictures and portraits of myself - another good reason to be the one behind the camera.
15. I am not paranoid, they are really after me...
16. I am not superstitious, but for some unclear reason I choose 17 to be my lucky number when I was a kid - now I am lucky I don't have to think about a seventeenth fact about me that anyone could find interesting...

About the picture: There is no good, current picture of me to upload for this... I took this picture of my right eye and blended in my wedding ring, the aperture of an old Voigtländer lens, and the clockface of my watch - three items which are significant for me...

After walking briskly from Waikiki to Diamond Head and then racing up the stairs, only to get dizzy and almost pass out (twice) I was too late to catch the actual sunrise. But I was able to catch the sun hiding behind some clouds.
Now two years later, and I looked back at the archives and found three bracketed shots, which came together nicely as an HDR, which tremendously boosted the sky and clouds, but did cut down on the moodiness of the originals.
Anybody know if there is a group for this sort of thing? accidental HDRs from before the technolgy existed.

It always pays to carry a camera. I now make a habit of this as there has been so many times I have missed a shot and cursed myself for not having it with me. Especially for the '100 Strangers' project, as this picture proves. I just happened to be coming out of a shop near where I live and spotted John walking past with his distinctive locks and colourful tie. I had my lomo lca with me so stopped him and asked to take his photo. I'm glad i did because we spent the next 15 minutes or so talking, or rather he did whilst I laughed at his stories. His full name is John Israel Robinson, one of ten children who all had biblical names apparently, his name given because he was born the year Israel was given independance in 1948. We talked about my use of film instead of digital and he told me how he loved technolgy and was up to speed with all the latest gadgetry including of all things, a pacemaker with built in wifi and gps so the hospital could monitor him. He said, 'It's great apart from the fact that when I'm with a woman, the doctors know if i'm on the job in the house, someone elses house, a field or a bus!!' Funny man.
First, thanks to Shockwave. He shows me, that i can be better with this. So, i delete the first version, restart PMG classic and star again. Thanks also to the others. Have a nice day.
In the year 1944, when Nazi Germany runs out of ressources, the german company Erma (developed and builded the MP 40), have the idea to construct a conversion kit for the american M1A1 Thompson. Basically, they put everything out of the Thompson that works for the caliber .45 and replaced it with stuff for the 9mm Parabellum caliber, including a magfeed similar to the MP 40, for using these magazins.
The kit includes a barrel with a passive cooling system, similar to the M1928 ones, a forward grip for better handling and a muzzle break.
The version you see here is the MP-1A kurz, designated for tank crews, paratroopers, special forces, covert ops, ect, and for suprise, it works very well, has less recoil than the MP-40 and you hit your target.
Thank you.

A reboot of a snap thought to be taken in 2003, the year that Foxton's iconic Dutch windmill was officially opened, a scene that rekindles memories of the halcyon era that the small Horowhenua township has nowadays moved on from, a ex London Transport double decker that was once a familiar sight around the streets of Foxton, but nowadays living in Wellington at New Zealand Coach Services (NCS) in Taita where it can be hired for special occasions (weddings etc).
During its time in Foxton however, the double decker bus holds the mantle of being the first bus to cross over the new bridge across the Manawatu River at Moutoa on the Foxton-Shannon Rd. during the bridge opening in 1992.
RT4189 has been in New Zealand since 1986 after being shipped from New South Wales in Australia to MOTAT in Auckland. Was then acquired by Wayne and Tania Little and was restored in Lincoln Green LT country area livery in September 2010, when the stewardship of the Foxton trolleybus museum operation was under the watch of Wayne following the passing of his father, Ian, some two years earlier. Ian Little founded the museum undertaking in the mid to late 1980s.

Yet another important educational establishment was the opening of the Gordon (named after General William Gordon from the Siege of Khartoum 1884-5) Technical College in 1888. This grand Scottish baronial style building was extended in 1891 and the matching northern wing was added in 1916. It makes a dramatic statement in Fenwick Street. Part of the campus incudes the Bostock Memorial textile laboratories and the Edward Lascelles wool laboratories. One of the city’s wool broker was T E Bostock who was also Mayor of Geelong 1905 to 1908. When he died in 1922 a public subscription fund was started to build a memorial to him. He was a founder of Strachan Bostock and Co a leading wool firm and employer in the city. The foundation stone a new textile laboratories for what was then the Gordon Institute of Technology was laid in 1928. The architects were Laird and Buchan. About the same time (1921) a public subscription fund was started as a memorial to Edward Lascelles another Geelong leader of the wool industry. His wool stores are down on Brougham Terrace. The new Lascelles building in Art Deco style with strong vertical lines was to be joined to the Bostock Laboratories. Building started in 1944 and was completed in 1951. The architect of this Art Deco masterpiece was Percy Everett who also designed the old Courthouse into a Spanish Mission Art Deco building around 1930.

Urbaser is the environmental division of the ACS Group, and is one of the contractors that provide waste collection services in Madrid. Although there are multiple contractors operating within Madrid, each has to utilize the same green and white color scheme as seen on this truck.
In Madrid, waste is sorted into four different categories: glass, paper/cardboard, containers/plastics, and garbage. Glass and paper are placed into communal bins throughout the entire city that are collected by trucks utilizing a crane system. The way plastics and garbage are collected varies upon area.
This truck was seen in the San Blas neighborhood of the city. In this area residents had large communal bins for plastics and garbage, as well as the normal communal glass and paper containers.
The San Blas neighborhood is the the only part of the city that I've seen utilizing side loaders. The rest of the city is dominated by single and dual chamber rear loaders for the collection of plastics and garbage.
