Wandering around near the pier at Lorne on an overcast but otherwise pleasant day. The ocean put on a robust but never tempestuous show.
I was out on a prairie lake with the Coyotes howling at the northern lights. I was using my Rokinon 14mm lens but the EXIF shows a different lens., the settings are 14mm at f2.8. At this point a new pulse of electrons had come in and the structure changed to a bright ribbon with shards overhead remember this is with a 14mm lens the 180 degree Northern sky is all glowing!
The aurora charges from the right or Northeast and flows to the left the Northwest. I spent some time trying to capture this movement:) The moon was adding the light to the foreground but there is still a reflection.
methinks i need larger numbers!!.... some people said we had more snow than that but from the reports on the FB pages for the town, most were saying somewhere between 17" and 19"
The Third Place
The “Grand Stair” at the newly redesigned and renovated National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Seemingly, this grand stair - with its riser seating - has become a popular third place (a social environment distinct from the home - the first place, and the workplace - the second place) for students’ and professionals alike - many of whom were engaged in social and/or personal activities during our visit.
"Originally opened in 1969, a two-years belated centennial birthday gift to Canada, and designed by Fred Lebensold of Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Sise, the existing building was a brutalist masterpiece." Today, the main public areas of the building - the atrium and mezzanine levels - are airy light-filled spaces, which overlook Confederation Square and the Chateau Laurier - in short, the view is magnificent.

It doesn't really take too sharp of an eye to spot another pumpkin trailing. However an eyewitness saw the third musketeer northbound to Symington on A439 yesterday.
The Mercedes-Benz 770 K on exhibit in the Technik Museum Sinsheim was delivered to the Reichskanzlei in 1938 to serve for representation purposes. Technologically, the massive automobile that was employed in many parades of the time, was absolutely state-of-the-art. So did the design of the chassis e.g. employ various developments derived from the construction of racing cars.
To protect the passengers from assassination attempts the car had a mine-proof armor clad floor. In addition, it was equipped with windowpanes composed of several centimeters of bullet-proof glass armored doors as well as a retractable armor plate behind the rear seats. Where as the cabrio sott top, in the nature of things does not have any possibilities to be armor clad.
This predicament as well as the fact that Hitler used to ride in parades with the top down, and in addition to that liked to stand in an upright position seem to render these precautions more than dubious considering that they would have offered any protection below the waistline only. The car was propelled by a colossal 8-cylinder supercharged in-line engine with a displacement of 7.6 liters which produced an output of 230 hp already at a mere 3200 rpm. In spite of the enormous weight caused by the massive armoring this enabled the car to reach a maximum speed of 140 km/h, no less.

For all the awkward experiences we had. Today was definitely worth it.
More tomorrow, also comments and stuff will be read and I will do some stream browsing as well. I'm just too tired for now. Goodnight!
Hello, this is my third video update on my weekend of cross-dressing. My apologies for the video quality, it was recorded in very low lighting conditions on my phone. I was too tired to setup any proper lighting and wanted to record my thoughts straight away.
The weekend has worked out differently to what I envisaged but I am delighted by it. I have never really cross-dressed on several consecutive days and was not prepared for the agony of sore skin after three days of super close facial shaving. I also found it a charged emotional experience that has exhausted me and impacted on my thinking and my approach to being Helene. It gave me a new focus and clarity which I intend to develop over the next year.
Of course, being me, I fully intend to document these changes of direction. I is nothing that involves transition, hormones, surgery, consulting the medical profession, none of that, it’s more zeroing in on what I like and enjoy and want to experience as a woman (it doesn’t involve men!). I always feel Helene is like the teenage girl discovering herself and experimenting with make-up, hair and clothing. I wore so many dresses and pairs of high heels this weekend that I found myself thinking I needed to focus on the clothes I felt good wearing, the hair I felt enhanced my appearance and a totally refocused approach to how I wear make-up. I can summarise that by saying my focus has intensified upon wanting to spend time in the world as a woman not a man. Let me clarify again, I’m not talking transition more when I dress as Helene for the period I am dressed as her I desire to be a woman for that time. I want my male self to be gone when I am Helene.
I think I finally reached the point emotionally where I realised this is what I want to do and I feel very excited about doing it in the future. It will in reality be me cross-dressing as a woman but the big changes are how I feel about it within myself and what I want to experience. In the past I have always felt like a man dressed up as a woman. I am in reality exactly that but emotionally this weekend I felt I had ceased to be a man and become female for a few hours. It was powerful, intoxicating and emotionally highly charged.
It wasn’t like a deep coming out experience more like I finally found my path and new where I was going. So next year the development of Helene is, and acknowledge this may sound delusional, that I cease being a cross-dressing male and become a (part-time) woman. The inner confidence boost and comfort this has induced is quite incredible. I feel good about this.
We all have our own needs in regard to why we cross-dress and what we personally want from it. I know what I always dreamed of was being female and not male. Unfortunately, my body is that of a male so I need to be open to wearing the clothes that will actually work and help that I am perceived as being a woman when I transform myself into Helene. I’m going to very open minded on this, I want it to be right. I don’t like the phrase blending in, it suggests being invisible. I don’t desire invisibility. I know as a woman I like being chatty and interacting and yes, I like to feel a bit sexy and flirty. I want to look good as a woman as well. I don’t have a pretty face or amazingly feminine body so I think it’s a case of ensuring I get the combination of hair, make-up and clothing that makes the most of my physicality and hopefully I an look attractive and stylish as a woman
I don’t mind attention, I just want to look as female as I can and wear stylish female clothes that look nice and help with my confidence. Not so much blending in as being feminine and stylish.
I hope that doesn’t come across as a big ego and vanity trip, that is genuinely not what I want. I just want to be a contented woman and enjoy nice stylish clothes and to feel good about it all as I spend time out and about as Helene. It’s the day time rather the night time I feel a big pull towards. I want to be a woman amongst other people in daylight, the biggest challenge with my looks!
I think at some point in our lives we all find the path for our cross-dressing, I am delighted I finally found mine, it took me to being age 60 though! It’s never too late!
Sunset on Santa Maria della Salute Church
The Festa del Redentore is an event held in Venice the third Sunday of July where the fireworks play an important role.
The Redentore began as a feast - held on the day of the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer - to give thanks for the end of the terrible plague of 1576, which killed 50,000 people, including the great painter Tiziano Vecellio (Titian). The Doge Alvise I Mocenigo promised to build a magnificent church if the plague ended.[1] Andrea Palladiowas commissioned, assisted by Da Ponte, to build a majestic church on the Island of Giudecca. The church, known as Il Redentore, was consecrated in 1592,hand is one of the most important examples of Palladian religious architecture. After the foundation stone was laid, a small wooden church was temporarily built, along with temporary bridge of barges from the Zattere, so that the Doge Sebastian Venier could walk in procession as far as the tabernacle. Afterwards, the Doge made a pilgrimage to the Church of Redentore every year.
On Saturday, the eve of the festival, fireworks are let off. Preparations begin early in the morning when people begin to decorate their boats, or the small wooden terraces on rooftops from where they can admire the fireworks. At sunset, Saint Mark's basin begins to fill with up with boats of all kinds, festooned with balloons and garlands, and thousands of Venetians await the fireworks while dining on the boats. Around 10 o'clock at night, from pontoons placed nearby the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the fireworks begin and Saint Mark's basin becomes one of the most atmospheric stages in the world. The fireworks last for around 45 to 60 minutes, illuminating the night and arousing intense emotions in both Venetians and visitors. Once the fireworks are over, the young people of the city head off to the Lido, where they sit on the sand and wait for dawn.
A bridge of barges is built connecting Giudecca to the rest of Venice. Sunday is devoted to religious celebrations.
The 2006 festival celebrated the victory of the Italian national soccer team in the World Cup and fireworks in the colours of the Italian flag were let off.

I like the split in thirds of this shot and the unreal blue colour of the water - believe it when I saw it was this colour!
This was a great little place to stop with warm water, cocktails on the beach and watching the sunset.
