Eliot Porter, born in 1901 in Winnetaka, Illinois, was a photographer best known for his color photos of nature. He was trained as a chemical engineer and a medical doctor. He began his photography career in the 1930s, making black-and-white photographs in his spare time while working as a bacteriologist and teacher at Harvard University. Photographer Alfred Stieglitz gave Porter a solo exhibition at his New York art gallery in 1938. The exhibition changed Porter's life. He decided to give up his academic post and devote himself to the art of photography. The year after his exhibition at Stieglitz's gallery, Porter began using Kodachrome, a new color transparency film, and teaching himself the delicate, multi-step process for making color prints. For the next three decades he struggled against the notion that color photography was unsuitable for artists because it was "too literal." Porter actually used the color process to make highly expressive prints by slightly increasing the brilliance, contrast, or saturation in the transparencies. In 1964 Porter wrote that he hoped his color photographs would reveal "a new dimension in the perception and representation of nature in photography." Between 1953 and 1984 Porter produced seven portfolios of nearly 8,000 prints. In the early 1960s Porter began making photographic books with the Sierra Club, which played an important role in the conservation movement of the 1960s. The first book, In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World (1962), earned the Sierra Club an international reputation as a publisher of fine books. The second book, The Place No One Knew, Glen Canyon on the Colorado (1963), was part of a campaign to stop construction of the Glen Canyon Dam. The vibrantly colored photographs of gulches, rock walls, and hidden canyons carved by the Colorado and San Juan Rivers did not prevent the dam from being built. However, it did result in federal review of all reclamation projects on western rivers and the passage of the Wilderness Act, which had been languishing in Congress since 1956. The public's positive response to the Sierra Club books showed Porter that he could use photography to make people aware of nature's beauty without compromising his artistic goals. With this realization, Porter was transformed from a passive, theoretical conservationist into an impassioned one. Porter was elected to the board of directors of the Sierra Club in 1965, and served until 1971. In 1970 Porter wrote, "It has been said that wildness is a luxury, a commodity that man will be forced to dispense with as his occupancy of the earth approaches saturation. If this happens, he is finished. Wilderness must be preserved; it is a spiritual necessity." Porter, who had a love for birds, began photographing birds as a boy. He returned to the subject later in life with the aim to "raise bird photography above the level of reportage, to transform it into an art." To do so, he developed the first stop-action system for photographing birds. Porter used a tripod-mounted camera designed to hold sheets of film 4-x-5-inches in size. It was equipped with two powerful strobe lamps, synchronized to the shutter. The bright lights enabled him to use a high-speed shutter and the smallest lens aperture, which could stop the movement of small, swift birds and capture them and their immediate surroundings in sharp focus. In 1941 Porter was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph various species of North American birds. Two years later, 54 of his bird photographs were featured in a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Porter's dream to share his bird pictures with a broad audience was realized in 1972 with the publication of Birds of North America: A Personal Selection. Containing 75 portraits of birds in their native environments, the book explains how Porter set new artistic standards for bird photography. Porter selected his favorite images from a 40-year archive covering 252 species. By the time of his death in 1990, Porter's archive contained more than 8,000 negatives and transparencies of North American birds. Porter died in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the age of 89.

This vibrant photograph captures a really artistic view of a nature scene in a grove of aspens, that’s both beautiful and serene. The mood of this photo is very calming and I believe that it represents a sort of innocence within nature. It is also a very seasonal photo, with the foliage on the trees, the leaves on the ground, and the grass or wheat in the background creating a yellow-orange color that dominates the photograph, and expresses the autumn season. The evergreens to the left are a nice touch. There are three things that I notice that make this photo really stand out, when interpreting it. Centering the two trees in the foreground, only capturing the bottom part of the foliage of the aspens, and the seemingly foggy background which limits the depth of the photo and adds an array of blues and grays to the photo are what enhances the artistic portrayal of nature in Porter’s photo. I certainly think that Porter’s wishes came true in that he was able to create color photographs of nature that represents a new dimension of representation and perception of nature, and that this photo proves that it can be done without being “too literal” as the critics at the time suggested. In fact, this scene almost seems to have a surreal effect in the way he captures it. Very powerful photo.

These bells were in our grandmother's home and my sister has them now. When I see them I remember looking at them through the eyes of a young child. My mother always called them "Cairo Bells", and my grandmother obtained them on a trip she took in the 1950s. It seems they may more likely be from India, and she did travel extensively, so perhaps our family called them by an erroneous name. My parents had a bell like the smaller of these two, which I have now.

When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!

Every year, Lymington Yacht Haven and the town High Street hosts a fleet of stunning Ferraris, a beautiful Italian market, live music and much more! The free event is the perfect family fun day and took place on Sunday 2nd July 2017 with an estimated fleet of over 40 Ferrari cars in attendance. The last one I attended was the 1st July 2018 one. It was very hot and sunny and this time I went to the Yacht Haven to get some better pictures and Videos. There are too many in the High street of Lymington on this special free day event. During this time the bus stops in the high street are closed due to the vast amount of people visiting at this time.
Lymington Italia Festival is organised by the Lymington & Pennington Town Council and supported by Lymington Yacht Haven, the UK Ferrari Owners Club and other Lymington Businesses. Lymington is a port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent, in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. It is to the east of the South East Dorset conurbation, and faces Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight which is connected to it by a car ferry, operated by Wightlink. The town of Lymington lies within Southampton and S.W. Hampshire and contains the villages of Beaulieu, Boldre, Hordle, Milford-on-Sea, Pennington and Sway. Under the Local Government Act 1972 the borough of Lymington was abolished on April 1, 1974, becoming an unparished area in the district of New Forest, with Charter Trustees. The area was subsequently parished as the four parishes of New Milton, Lymington and Pennington, Milford-on-Sea and Hordle. Lymington New Forest Hospital opened in 2007, replacing the earlier Lymington Hospital. This is a community hospital and has a Minor Injuries Unit but no Accident and Emergency.
The town has a large tourist industry, and is situated near the beautiful New Forest. It is a major yachting centre with three marina’s. A beautiful, Georgian market town, Lymington ( population 14,330 ) is situated on the southern edge of the New Forest, between Southampton and Bournemouth and at the western end of the Solent. The town is world renown as a sailing resort; there are two large marinas Berthon and Haven and two sailing clubs RLYC and Lymington Town. Lymington has several interesting independent shops including some designer boutiques. On Saturday a market is held in the High Street, the origins of which probably date back to the 13th century. At the top of the High Street is the Parish Church, St Thomas Church ( built around 1250 ), from the bottom of the High Street a cobblestone road leads down to the Old Town Quay, still used as a base by commercial fishing boats.
The original HMS Pickle was built in 1799. She survived the Battle of Trafalgar and was the first ship to bring the news of Nelson's victory back to Britain, along with the sad announcement of Nelson's death. The replica HMS Pickle was built in St Petersburg in 1996. Originally launched as the schooner Alevtina Tuy, she was later converted into a replica of HMS Pickle for the Trafalgar Bi-centennial celebrations.
The Lymington Open Air Sea Water Baths a life guarded open air lido in Lymington, Hampshire. Built in 1833 it is the oldest lido in the UK, and at 110 metres long by 50 metres wide it is also one of the largest in size and in volume with 1.7 million gallons of water. The baths reopened in 2010 following a campaign by local people who also completed the baths' refurbishment. The current sea water baths date back to 1833 when the Lymington Bath and Improvement Company was set up. The bath house was built shortly afterwards and is now the club house for the Lymington Town Sailing Club. As time went on the baths struggled to compete with others in the area, particularly at Bournemouth. In 1855 they were sold to George Inman who owned a boat building company further up the river. In 1886 the Lymington Sea Baths Company leased the baths from Inman. The baths continued under several different owners until 1929 when they were taken over the by the Lymington Corporation.The 1930s were something of a golden period for outdoors baths and lidos with people flocking to bathe on bank holidays in the summer. Today the baths are owned by Lymington and Pennington Town Council.
You can walk along the beautiful Solent Way coastline from Lymington, the Solent Way follows the sea wall west around marshes and nature reserves until it reaches the picturesque waterside hamlet of Keyhaven and Hurst Castle can be easily viewed by taking the small ferry from Keyhaven. Harbour -. This walk I did in 2016 and in places it is a bit boring. However the views of the Isle of Wight along with the ferry arriving and leaving Lymington Harbour provide you with an interesting opportunity for taking many photos or videos. The wildlife along this part or the Solent Way is of interest to many walkers also.
The two over-wing emergency exits suggest large fuselage (-400 or -800) and round engine lips suggest NG, so -800. Note the "eye brow" windows over the cockpit are opaque- filled in or painted over.
