This is exactly as it was illuminated by the morning sun. No post-vignetting.

this bee was microscopic! Looks like a Lasioglossum species.

This was drawn by a group of students at Aarhus University. Frokost means lunch, morgenmad means breakfast. This is really substantial work!

This streetlamp is still lying on the Jeff Davis neutral ground, now in two pieces. In most cities, a downed streetlamp gets fixed. In post-Katrina New Orleans, it's the least of our worries, and so it still lies there a year and a half later, and no one cares -- not even me.

This class is Bios 340 (Animal Behavior). It is an elective class for the Biology major.

This lab was a simulation on the evolution of honest signaling. When animals are involved in contests with a rival, the winner is usually the one who has a better overall physical condition or is more experience in such contests. This phenomenon is known as Resource Holding Potential.

To model this in the lab, students first competed against each other with bags of cotton swabs. They didn’t know how many cotton swabs the other rival had as they competed for a territory (shoebox) of varying qualities (A, B, C –with A being the best). The game was if a territory was challenged, the rival had to in sequential order place out a cotton swab on the table with the territory holder. Each had to assess how long they wanted to stay in the game based on what they had in their bags. If one felt that s/he was going to lose (run out of cotton swabs), then they would leave the table and the other individual would “win” the territory.

In the second version of this game, the students had bags of coins that they would shake at each other. This way the opponent could ‘size’ up the rival to see if it was worth it to “fight” for that territory.

Goals of this game:

1) To recognize the potential ultimate benefits of signaling competitive ability to prospective rivals in contests over resources.

2) To realize that strategies for winning become even more important as one can honestly “size up” an opponent. This is what happens in nature all the time.

In this game, students naturally adapt their own strategies for winning—especially when they use coins to signal “strength” for territories. For examples, some students will put keys in their bags to add “noise” while others will shake the bags slightly (to throw off rivals as to how much is actually in their bags). Some students do the waiting game and will swoop into a territory after a recent contest to try to deplete the resources of the current territory owner.

Professor Catherine Mossman held this lab in her classroom on May 5th, 2016.

I think this commemorates the death of civilians during the bombing of the area in World War Two. There are groups of people with the same surname who were probably families killed in their homes.

This was a custom order I did last year.

This is the sort of thing that I would have just passed by if I was carrying my M9P. But with the M Monochrom, it is an opportunity to 'play' with light and shadow. This is straight out of the camera via ACR / LR4. Along 1st Street in San Francisco.

This is around scan 40...

This exposed Sioux Quartzite rock face is a ancient, long-dried lake bed.

This bird was enjoying a lovely bath in the warm sunshine.

This park is well worth a visit.

This was better than it looks, too, but not as good as I've had it.

This girl was here for eyelids, chips and pulls!

‘It’s a bit of a love hate story. Being a citizen in a very vibrant city, we need a strong police force to keep the order of things. But I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t had a few run ins with the police myself. Back then it was a different time; coppers were very much inclined to be stereotypically racist. The amount of times that police station has been in my life, it kind of just felt right to choose it as a location.

The purpose of that picture is to motivate and inspire people who are still stuck in the system. It’s not too late to change. Just because you’ve been to prison once, or you’ve been in holding cells, it doesn’t mean that your life is completely over. Sure, a conviction will stick and it will make your life significantly harder. But for me, the motivation is: if something is so easily achieved, it probably isn’t worth doing.

You’ve got to make do with what you’ve got. This place isn’t so bad … the world isn’t so bad.’

this pic makes me think of an old time movie star!

This week's leg shot.

This is January 20, 1997. I remember it well...

The exact location of Herbertshire paper mill differs depending on who I speak to some points to remember I have been told that the route of corthy brae was changed to suit the mill the reason I say this is that I have lived in this area for about 30 years and the slope on the left is too steep for me to place. The hill top right looks familiar to this day october 2008

This customer wanted us to build a covered walkway between the house and the stable block that would look integrated and at the same time attend to the dilapidated roof on the stables. It was decided to use 6" green oak posts and beams for the walkway from the house and along the front of the stable block.

The posts were anchored by 20mm treaded bar, cemented into the concrete base. The posts and beams were braced with mortise and tenoned gallows brackets held by oak pegs. The post bases were given chamfered oak skirts.

The facing stable wall was covered by deep waney edge oak boarding and the ceiling of the walkway by 100mm pine tongue & groove.

The roof construction was traditional with rafters with bird's mouth notches sitting on the cross beam plate and running up to a ridgeboard and supported on purlins. Boarding, roof felt and battens were added, and then the whole was roofed with Grade 1 Western Cedar shingles. This natural, light and attractive form of roofing that will last 30 to 40 years.

This park was designed by the same person who did Central Park in NYC

This temple was built by the king (Krishnadevaraya) in 1513 AD to celebrate the conquest of the eastern kingdom of Udayagiri or Utkala (in the present day Orissa state). The main idol installed in the temple was the figure of Balakrishna (Lord Krishna as infant). This idol is now displayed in the state museum at Chennai. A huge slab installed inside the courtyard of the temple states the story of this temple and the conquest of Ulkala.

This is one of the must see sites in Hampi. The carvings are especially spectacular with the Yalis (the mythical lion) on the pillars and the entrances to the temple hall flanged with impressive carvings of elephant balustrades. Many small shrines and pillared halls adorn the campus.

This is my young brother.

This place makes a variety of home made meats including: kielbasy, hams, bacons, sausage, kiszka, and lunch meats.

This ship served Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, MA. Built in 1955, it was the last steam powered ferry in that service, and maybe the last one in the country. I took this in the late 1950s, as it was loading passengers at Woods Hole, MA. Notice how formally all the women are dressed! How times have changed.

This was the second ship to be named Naushon. See

This is Earl, our newest addition to the pack. If you're keeping count, he makes three.

This is an acrylic painting I did from a photograph Stu took at Organ Pipe National Monument in Southern Arizona. It depicts the typical red rocks, cactus and desert landscape of the American Southwest. Type L for a better view.

This is a short little series of a mother hummingbird on her nest and the nest with the eggs visible. She was nervous but accommodating as she allowed me to take most of these photos from less than 18 inches.

These were taken at Green Acres Nursery in Folsom, CA

This was one of a kind.

This weekend I headed out with my boys in <a href="http://www.myspace.com/abovethisfire for the last Dead To Fall show in Chicago. It was a really good time. We spent sunday in Chicago eating pizza and hanging out then hit up some crappy spot in Ohio called Geneva

This Touareg needed paint protection. We were asked to install a clear bra onto the bumper of this car. Each piece was hand laid and hand trimmed to fit this Touareg's body to maximize the coverage while enhancing the protection.
