Once again... I was lacking inspiration & no pre-planning.
A scarf I have with a gradient of scarlet colours, with a little icm, is my contribution for this months theme.
Happy New Year to all.
For those of you unaware, BZP hosted a Secret Santa event this year, and all participants were randomly assigned a victim. Mine happened to be The Forgotten Chronicler. For my gift, I revamped the two main characters from his comic series, Toa Geha's Life.
Geha is the title character of the comic series and The Forgotten Chronicler's self-MOC. The original MOC gave me a lot to work with, but eventually I settled on the most current mask, a Kualsi, and a dark green, red, and gold color scheme (mostly because I wanted to be all Christmas-y). Because The Forgotten Chronicler is a huge Transformers fan, I tried to work in some design cues from Optimus Prime. Geha wields formidable lightning powers contained and channeled by his verdant armor, Lightning Sword, and chain. He also possesses the ability of flight with his large wings.
The special topic of the month was Southeast Asian variations in Habenaria orchids.
This one with more color variation had a very dense inflorescence. The individual flowers have long tubes flowing from the back of the flowers. In this type the "tails" are sort of clumped together and harder to see. In the preceding orchid the flowers are much more separated and you have a better view of how long the tails are!
Ayer fue un día intenso en emociones, tan pronto me reía como se me escapaba alguna lagrimita...y es que !sois la leche!. Ayer hicisteis "trending topic", en mi corazón, por vuestas notas, vuestras visitas y esas estrellas rosas con las que me ha dado para hacerme collar, pendientes y anillo. Quise evitar obligaros a comentar...pero como sois mas tercos que una mula....jja.
Hace poco lei en el perfil de alguien que podría vivir sin internet, pero no sin flickr...yo puedo vivir sin flickr pero no sin esta adicción que tengo a vosotros.
GRACIAS.
Thanks for your visit, fav, & comment (even short!) :) :

Hot Topic's Hot Pink Iridescent Blue Violet Glitter polish with their Hologram Star polish. My 2nd attempt in doing gradient nails. I've had this on for a week, so a little tip wear.
The color is absolutely gorgeous, but application was a complete nightmare. It was TOO thick to evenly apply, dry nail polish chunks were in there, and the brush strands were uneven, like a bad haircut. I was so frustrated with it overall.
Even though I love glitter and hot pink on nails, I don't think I'll be pulling this one out in a long while.
The Hologram Star polish was okay. I had to dig to get a star though.

The Vienna Opera Ball
Viennese Opera Ball
Just as already the operetta and the waltz had been imported from Paris to Vienna, comes also the model for the Vienna Opera Ball from the Seine metropolis. By a corresponding approval of Duke Philip of Orleans, on 2 January 1716 a "public ball" can be held for the first time, to which everyone has access who can pay the admission fee of five livres. First, the balls take place at the Comédie française, but already in 1717 was given the Académie de Musique, the Paris Opera House, the special right of the organization. Nevertheless, in the Comédie furthermore take place balls, with the audience far more popular than the 'opera balls'.
In 1861 the construction of an opera house begins at the Ringstrasse, on the explicit desire of Emperor Franz Joseph not solely intended for performances of operas and ballets, but also for the staging of the Opera Ball. With this, have been created both the spatial and the official conditions for a genuine Viennese Opera Ball according to Parisian model. It should, however, take another eight years before a dance event in the opera could be held for the first time after the completion of the house in 1869.
Initially, due to the increasing violence at the Paris balls but only Court Opera soirees take place. This includes elegant evening soirees with musical entertainment, but without dancing. On 11 December 1877 opened the court musical director Wilhelm Gericke the first Court Opera Soirée with the "Wedding March" by Felix Mendelssohn. After several concert pieces the baton is handed over to the Strauss family. First, Johann Strauss son conducts the Vienna Philharmonic with a waltz, followed by his brother Edward with a specially for this day composed "Opera Soirée Polka". After that, the dance-crazed Viennese are no longer stoppable: all chairs were put to the side, and the evening, which was thought without dance pleasure, ends like a ball. This is the hour of birth of the opera ball, even though for the time being still far away from being called so.
Already the second event on 15 January 1878 is announced officially as "Second Hofopernsoirée (Ball)". The third, for 12 February 1878 scheduled Soirée, is canceled for reasons of piety, since Pope Pius IX. a few days earlier had died. After the uncomplicated election of Leo XIII. to new head of the Church the ball is on 23 February rescheduled.
After these three opera soirees from March of the same year take place redoutes in the Court Opera, continuing the tradition of masked balls and linked with strict dress code: "in the hall, with the exception of the lodges, the ladies the stay is only permitted in an elegant mask, short costumes are not allowed. The gentlemen of civil appear in evening dress with white cravat, cylinder or Claquehut (opera hat - chapeau claque). "During the next twenty years during the carnival time each year should be organized two, in some seasons even three redoutes. However, at these festivals the Viennese society is not as boundless as once united in the common ball pleasure, because in the meantime the guests are spread across three different levels, not only differing in space but also in the appearance of guests from each other. Are the boxes the aristocratic guests in elaborate ball gowns reserved, so gather in the stalls the bourgeois guests, for which there is no mask constraint. In addition, there are the galleries that are accessible to every viewer without special admission ticket.
1899 the popular balls for the time being come to an abrupt end, as is discovered that the opera for such festivals does not comply with the safety regulations. Since an appropriate conversion proves to be too costly, the redoutes are discontinued for an unforeseen period of time. A certain compensation for those festivals offers in the following years the in the new town hall held "Ball der Stadt Wien".
Only in 1921, the tradition of the redoutes in the Court Opera has been resumed, but without being able to follow on the success of previous years. After several breaks followed in 1924, 1928 and 1929 again opera redoutes, neither musically nor stylistically corresponding with the level of the defunct imperial monarchy-time and they are not characterized by the former wit, charm and temperament. The twenties are not only politically, but also culturally a very different time in which with the progressive emancipation of women the meaning of a redoute became obsolete.
And so 1935 is launched the first as such referred to Opera Ball. In a time of political uncertainty, it complied in addition to social also with diplomatic and official representative purposes. Therefore, it takes no wonder that the guest list has many personalities from politics. The last opera ball before the outbreak of the Second World War should be organized in 1939, when Austria was already 'connected' by Adolf Hitler to the German Reich. Therefore respectively stiff and artificial resulted according to that this night on which no happiness will raise, previously the rule.

Reopening of the Vienna State Opera, 1955
© wissenmedia
Shortly before the end of World War II, the Vienna Opera House on 12 March 1945 almost completely was destroyed by a bomb. It should take ten years until the house was rebuilt and with Ludwig van Beethoven's opera "Fidelio" at the 5th November 1955 ceremoniously could be opened. In the following carnival season with this also the first opera ball of the post-war period can be celebrated, but which has changed its face much: "Actually, the Opera Ball is not a Viennese event anymore, but already a pan-European one. A ball night for which the world envies us".
This new image has remained to this day, with the only difference that the Opera Ball is now no longer considered only as a pan-European, but as an international event. A highlight of the evening is the annual opening of the ball by about 180 debutantes who on the arm of the to them for this evening assigned Cavaliers in a Polonaise move in. After the Vienna Philharmonic for many years had taken over the musical interpretation of the evening, there is since 1982 a Vienna Opera Ball Orchestra grounded specifically for this purpose. In addition, since 1984, there is also a Viennese Opera Ball Ladies Ensemble, made up of 15 musicians and beyond the ball unfolding a very busy concert schedule.
Today on the Opera Ball there is not exclusively danced just waltz anymore. Up to ten orchestras or soloists play at the same time in different places of the house, and as a concession to modern times there is since some years even a nightclub. And yet, the waltz enjoys as the king of dances to this day unbroken popularity, without which for many no Viennese Opera Ball is thinkable. Another innovation is also the since 1981 in the Schwind Foyer installed Viennese Opera Ball Casino, which is a special attraction especially for the younger guests. Collectors will also appreciate the annually by the casino issued special Opera Ball chips.
How to become a debutante?
Proposals are now mostly send in by the dance schools of the country. The first condition is the perfect mastery of the links waltz, which is checked at a Vortanztermin (dance audition date - don't worry, the Lipizzans are doing the same!). Has the potential debutante overcome this hurdle with flying colors, it is about to find a suitable partner for the big night. The criteria for this choice are less situated in personal relationships than in pure dance qualities. After finally the couples have found each other, for five days under the expert guidance of several ballet master not only the links waltz, but also the choreography of the marching in is practiced until everything is perfectly rehearsed. The question of clothes is strictly regulated for the couples: the ladies in white dresses with a little crown on the head and the gentlemen in evening dress. To underline the internationality of the ball, every year also Debütantinnen and Debütanten from around the world are invited.
Guests
Artists from the world of the theater and the music, film and television can be found on the Vienna Opera Ball as well as well-known athletes and fashion designers. Diplomats and politicians from home and abroad appreciate the special atmosphere, and every now and then you meet also members of the European nobility. The Opera Ball today is no longer just a lavish celebration in which together a whole evening and a full night is celebrated, but increasingly also a social forum that connects professional and political contacts in a pleasant way with a social event.
Scandals
In recent decades, the Vienna Opera Ball, however, has not only found unanimous support, but has been increasingly criticized. In the 80s made fights between angry citizens that characterized the event as a "festival of the political and monetary bigwigs" and the police the headlines. Unforgettable is also the demonstration against the reprocessing plant Wackersdorf when in 1987 the Bavarian Prime Minister Franz-Josef Strauss participated in the Opera Ball. In addition, now almost every year during the opera ball take place demonstrations against these seemingly senseless waste of funds in the face of hardship and misery, hunger and wars, social and health problems in the world.
Nevertheless, the Opera Ball has lost none of its fascination and all over the world - from Bangkok via Kuala Lumpur and Korea to Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul and Dubai, Ankara, Istanbul, Kiev, Prague and Budapest to Rome, New York, Los Angeles and Washington - it found imitation, without being able to ever really come close to the Viennese model. Even if the question of the contemporaneity of the Vienna Opera Ball ever and again was controversially discussed, at the latest in 2005 has been shown that even this traditional event cannot stop short before general social changes: for the first time a smoking ban for the Opera Ball was pronounced.

The topic for the day is Monsoon Rains !
I know I know, why are we talking
about rain and this photo is "bone dry."
Quite simple --- Cuz in this photo it "isn't" raining.
But more importantly sense 2 or 3:AM this morning
it has been a torrential monsoon downpour and
right now in the afternoon it is still a downpour.
When we say it's raining cats and dogs well
every cat and dog in all Asia is pouring
down out of the sky here right now !
Hug big colossal muddy mess ;-(
Dogs are still looking at me
as if this whole problem
is my fault & it is up to
me to change it now.
Well I do have Marvel Power Boots
But messing with Mother Nature
just isn't going to happen here.
If you can remember back to this time last year
the palm oil plantation was flooded really bad !
If at all possible, we will make a voiage tomorrow
2 see what we can see or not see, see what I mean.
FYI
Couple weeks ago somebody that owns the Bird House
brought in a dozen dump trucks and tore-up the first 162
meters of road pretty bad. they dumped fresh dirt on the
road only to made a very soft Murphy trap for any bikes !
So when I say we will go and see what we
can see that is exactly what I'm referring to.
Guess what ---
Forecast is calling for heavy showers
and possible flooding in low lying areas.
Go figure ;-0-
OK, I know your most likely busy so I'll

Thank You.

There is lots of metal here.
It's a view inside a submarine (HM Ocelot) of the torpedo tubes. Imagine being surrounded by all this for weeks at an end under water. Very claustrophobic.

The Alexander Bain. The building was opened in 1914 and served as the town's main post office until the early 1990s.
This popular plant, although grown as an ornamental in many Florida gardens is now considered a Category 1 Noxious weed. It is native to India and parts of Asia where the "pea-like" seeds are used to make jewelry, but they are deadly if injested as they contain abrin. (see links below)
You can't believe the paradise it is walking in Grassington. I have tons of photos showing other areas in the UK, but I can hardly stand to leave Grassington. I'm going to switch to another topic for our current photo challenge, but I doubt this is the last you'll see of Grassington!

I'm going to return to a topic I've likely beaten to death in the past...but it is once again timely. During the macro photography nature season -- roughly April through October here -- I go out almost every non-rainy day. Typically I shoot 500-700 exposures each time, but going over 1000 is not unusual. Next day the same, and the next, and...so forth.
Generally in the past I've uploaded two photos to Flickr each day...one floral shot and one 'wildlife' image. Sometimes two of each per day.
The math is pretty easy to figure. Virtually all of the shots taken do not get uploaded to my stream. Some do 'down the road'; most never see the light of day. Between November and March I draw on some of these 'archived' images in order to stay active in uploading. Even so, if you figure six months of doing that -- say 180 days or so -- and adding two to four images each day, you can see that that doesn't total much more than a single day's shooting, by number.
A lot of the photos taken each day just aren't good enough to share, and quite a few others are duplicative. Still thousands of images from each spring / summer / fall that might have been seen, just don't make it to Flickr.
Clearly what I'll be uploading from now to next spring, as far as nature / macro shots are concerned, will be from earlier in 2015, or perhaps even farther back than that. This is one of those...not previously seen, or even processed before now.
Photography is, ultimately, about preserving memories. Here's a memory for you.
