Four Thirds Photography

Ghent is a city and a municipality in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is the capital and largest city of the East Flanders province, and the third largest in the country, exceeded in size only by Brussels and Antwerp. It is a port and university city.
The city originally started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Leie and in the Late Middle Ages became one of the largest and richest cities of northern Europe, with some 50,000 people in 1300.
Also a painting on a large concrete block, found at the Honigcomplex in my hometown Nijmegen.
For some reason there is in hole in these blocks, perhaps an easier way to transport them? But anyway, this artist (Dragon?) used it to create a third eye.
Happy Wall Wednesday ;-))
I took this shot circa 1974 with the Pentax K1000 film camera. This photo was scanned from a print. These third graders are hard at work creating three dimensional clay maps of continents and ocean floors as part of a curriculum I helped create and develop.
Earlier I posted shots of attempts to reach the top of Barden in Senja. The first attempt failed when rain and hail, and bad visibility forced me to go back (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/54821190337/in/datepo...), and the second attempt stranded because clouds were packing and the sun was obscured, with the end results probably showing not the pictures that I wanted to have (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/54885638309/in/datepo...).
4 days later they predicted good weather! In the early morning there would be clouds and mist, but from ca. 11.30 the sky would open up, and around 1300 it would completely open up!
So up I went again over that slippery and very muddy path, now being accustomed to the idea of getting wet shoes, socks and feet.
Alas! Although from this point I still climbed some 100 meters (and got again a little bit further up the Barden track), I ended up in the mist, and no panorama vista to be seen. But I was still optimistic and sat down, waiting for the glorious moment of the first stretch of blue sky appearing.
1,5 hours later it didn't happen, and there were no signs of it to happen, so there I went again, down that muddy and slippery path. And yes, my feet were still very wet. And long after I was down (around 1830), the miracle finally happened, the sky opening up.
Despite the somewhat disappointing result, I made some nice shots, this is one of them.
(to be continued).

This bus has been retired twice. It used to belong to a school district and later was purchased by a church in Ohio. It now sits on a farm in Indiana awaiting its third adventure. It looks as if most of the seats have been removed, so I'm guessing it will either be used for hauling farm products or awaiting conversion into a "skoolie" (aka school bus motorhome).

INFO 'The Domesday Book records Ringmore as a Devon Manor known then as ‘Ronmore’. Stephen de Haccombe, and his successors are know to have built three chapels in the area, two survive as chapels today, one at Haccombe, and the other is St Nicholas in Ringmore, Shaldon.
The third local chapel is only a ruin. Church Architects are of the opinion the St Nicholas is of 13th Century origins, a fact borne out by the East end Wall with it’s Lancet window-a fact accepted as proof.
Records of various events refer to this church, and the Register of Baptisms was started in 1616, prior to that, Baptisms had taken place at Haccombe. About this time, the Carew family –now Lords of the Manor of Haccombe, carried out repairs to St Nicholas, but the fabric of the building, and it’s architectural features were kept intact. Haccombe Church supplied the Clergy to the Church until 1621 when the first Clergy signed the Baptism register - Elezeus Coke.
Burial and Marriage registers were than started –and in 1671 Lord Clifford bought several local estates including the Manor of Ringmore with St Nicholas Parish. Bishop Keppel visited the church in 1768 and decided that care was needed to restore the Church.
By 1790 a large extension had been added, and a gallery built, along with various other improvements. Mention of a Church organ was made in 1827, but was then replaced with an early version of the Harmonium called a ‘Seraphine’. 1839 saw a gallery added to the North wall for the Sunday School, and a new roof with a domed skylight and wooden Bell tower added in1841. The original font had been removed, and replaced by the existing font-which is Saxon or early Norman.
Reverend Richard Marsh-Dunn cancelled plans for any more changes to St Nicholas, as he had decided to build a new church on the reclaimed land on Riverside in Shaldon.
This was consecrated and dedicated to St.Peter, and became the new Parish Church of St.Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St Nicholas was subsequently renovated with funds generated by a generous benefactor, and was given the official title of Chapel of Ease.'
There was a chill in the air, but the night was too pretty not to sit outside. So i waved him out to the cozy courtyard as he sauntered in 30 minutes late. He'd been a bit late for our first date, too... and even moreso for the second. Establishing dominance... so adorable. And that was fine... they were all the easier to maneuver that way. Besides, he'd been doing pretty well so far... maybe tonight we'd discover just how much dominance he can actually deliver...
The third level structure of Angkor Wat seen from the northwestern corner of the second level. The stairway to the third level looks too steep to climb.
There are five prangs (towers) at the third level: four prangs at the four corners and the highest one in the centre representing the mythical mountain of Sumeru (or Meru). The central prang is seen just behind the northwestern prang in front.

The Asian or Asiatic elephant (Elephas maximus) is the only living species of the genus Elephas and is distributed in Southeast Asia from India in the west to Borneo in the east.
Three subspecies are recognized—Elephas maximus maximus from Sri Lanka, the Indian elephant or E. m. indicus from mainland Asia, and E. m. sumatranus from the island of Sumatra. Asian elephants are the largest living land animals in Asia.
Since 1986, E. maximus has been listed as endangered by IUCN as the population has declined by at least 50% over the last three generations, estimated to be 60–75 years. Asian elephants are primarily threatened by degradation, fragmentation and loss of habitat, and poaching. In 2003, the wild population was estimated at between 41,410 and 52,345 individuals.
Female captive elephants have lived beyond 60 years when kept in semi-natural surroundings, such as forest camps. In zoos, elephants die at a much younger age and are declining due to a low birth and high death rate.
The genus Elephas originated in Sub-Saharan Africa during the Pliocene, and ranged throughout Africa into southern Asia. The earliest indications of captive use of Asian elephants are engravings on seals of the Indus Valley civilization dated to the third millennium BC. – Wikipedia
