2nd Place , Beautiful Capture of week 47 , Dec 2014

Half glazed, half unglazed, these earthenware water jars have remained unchanged in terms of production since the 11th century.
In Myanmar, the Myanmarese bury them in the ground to keep their water stocks cool. They are considered indispensable for the storage of fresh water.
Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged (in other words, no climbing allowed). The protected Hoodoos site is a guaranteed spot to see Hoodoos but smaller versions of these sandstone giants can be found all over the Badlands.

...That’s why I’d Love to Hang my Hat in Tennessee.
A bit of a twist of the lyrics from George Strait’s 1987 Country Hit Recording : )
Last October, the Mrs. and I enjoyed a week in the Beautiful State of Tennessee. In addition to visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a Bucket List item) we had a delightful day at the gorgeous Cumberland Mountain State Park located in Crossville Tennessee.
The Byrd Creek Bridge is the centerpiece of the Cumberland Mountain State Park. The seven span bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Cumberland Homesteads Historic District. The Byrd Creek Dam is the largest masonry structure ever built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Men of the Civilian Conservation Corps built this unsuspended bridge between 1935 and 1940, for a 30-acre impoundment of Byrd's Creek. Three thousand five hundred and fifty cubic yards of dirt and rock were excavated and the core, containing 8,000 tons of concrete, is faced with Crab Orchard stone for the 319-foot span. Seven spillways, rising 28 feet above the stream bed, carry the 18-foot wide roadway approximately, which is 16 feet above water level.
Cumberland Mountain State Park began as part of the greater Cumberland Homesteads Project, a New Deal-era initiative by the Resettlement Administration that helped relocate poverty-stricken families on the Cumberland Plateau to small farms centered on what is now the Cumberland Homestead community. The 1,720-acre park was acquired in 1938 to provide a recreational area for some 250 families selected to homestead on the Cumberland Plateau.

Another capture from close to Pordoi: some dramatic sun rays lighten up the clouds along the Langkofel group. Towards Pordoi and Arabba, things turned as well into drama, as clouds as black they could appear moved quickly towards our view point. I had to water protect all my photogear well inside my poor weather protected vehicle...good that exiting the cars typically happen in a well protected garage :-). Stay healthy and safe, 2 more days to reach weekend. Thanks, Udo.
It wasn't a day for sailing, but for making pictures ; )
Here a little bit hang music, it's a wonderful music instrument:

Been getting out to explore some sims and do pics. Saw this place on my feed and after some wandering around found this little cave... Next thing I know I am pulling out clothes, playing with lighting and taking a pic. I really liked how this one turned out. You can find the sim at:
When traveling to the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, I was stunned by the number of chickens popping up everywhere. It wasn't until I returned to the mainland that I learned the history of the resident fowl.

Devenir gris
Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

I was lucky to observe and photograph Bald Eagles Courtship for the first time, Courtship is a time to develop and strengthen the pair bond, or form a new one. Scientists have observed some mating behaviors on wintering grounds, but have also seen males and females start courting in breeding areas.
Bald eagle pairs engage in a number of courtship rituals as they build their bond. The most famous and recognizable of these rituals is the "cartwheel courtship flight," this involves pair of eagles which will fly up high, lock talons and then get into a cartwheel spin as they fall toward the ground. This is nothing short of a visual delight, seeing it was amazing and being able to take few shots to share is a bonus.
Bald eagle population in Alberta is thriving, large number of eagles are wintering in Canada.
Even today, travelers to Greece can still find many hidden treasure destinations which retain their almost unspoiled beauty, such as the island of Trizonia.
As hard to believe as it may be, because Greece has such a long coastline, as well as almost innumerable islands, there still are a wealth of locations which would make one think that these places are off the map.
One such island without a doubt, is Trizonia, located in the Corinthian Gulf just 400 meters (1,312 feet) off the southwestern coast of the region of Fokida.
The island is said to have been named for the sound of its crickets, which you can always hear singing away while you are there.
This is the famed island which, after visiting it in the 1960’s, Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis attempted to buy — lock, stock and barrel — from the local people who lived there by offering them an enormous lump sum of money.
The locals refused, famously saying that this specific paradise was not for sale. Minas, a local restaurateur, shared with the Greek Reporter that occasionally the thought does cross his mind that “it would have been good if Onassis had bought it.”
The islanders’ refusal is what led Onassis later to buy the island of Skorpios in the Ionian Sea, which he made into his own personal Eden.
The island of Trizonia has been called by many a miracle of nature. While staying on the island, which is just 2.4 square kilometers, or barely one square mile, travelers can forget everything from the outside world, including cars, motorbikes, noise — and stress.
Trizonia is also an island garden of sorts, boasting almond, prickly pear, eucalyptus, holly, plum, and olive trees, as well as pine and cedar trees throughout.
The island only has 40-50 residents in the winter. However, Minas maintains that “in the winter it’s a bit difficult, it gets a bit cold, but if you have good company, good wine and good food, everything is fine.”
With a natural, unspoiled landscape that amazes visitors, its lacework of interconnected, continuous beaches, and sapphire waters, Trizonia and its singing crickets beckon to the discerning visitor who needs a break from the modern world.
Edward Blaquiere, a former lieutenant in the Royal Navy and a well known philhellene of his time, visited Trizonia in 1825 and he mentions a ruined village. He also mentions the excellent harbour of the island which is sheltered from all winds. The Greek military leader and politician Andreas Londos came to Trizonia in 1827 with 500 soldiers. In the ensuing battle with the 2000 Ottomans who were there at that time, the Greeks under the guidance of Londos won, causing great damage to the Ottoman army.

Another tribute from the day SkyeBaggie and I visited Elgol to remember our good friend Lawrence Cornell, whose funeral was today. Elgol was one of his favourite places to photograph and was always the first location he would visit on his trips to Skye. I shall be raising a (large) glass in memory of him.
