Always be ready for an adventure. Typically W9 and I don't share our space with many people. A nice mix of bird watchers and twitchers packed the Marsh yesterday. Scope/camera lady tipped us off to the location of the rare Eurasian Wigeon. Thank you.
It wasn't a very cooperative duck and after 200+ photos we moved along. The newly constructed bridge on the Marsh is finally open to foot traffic. It was a no-brainer to check it out. Suddenly Scope/camera lady charges out from the brush waving her arms overhead and yelling for us to stay away. A moment later she was walking over to us and thanking us for being so understanding. She explained that she was on a deadline to find 250 birds.
W9 and I are watchers. Finding a new bird can be reason to celebrate. But it really is the adventure of the journey ... learning something new and being able to recall and connect the information we've stuffed into our heads. Giving the game our best effort and still getting it wrong sometimes. Humbling. Thrilling.

This little American Pika can be forgiven for not understanding the coming devastating effects of climate change. It has a brain that is about the size of a lima bean which is engaged primarily in day to day survival. Many pikas never see a human being, so they can be forgiven for not understanding that we are directly responsible for the global warming that may very well cause the demise of some of their populations in parts of North America.
No such forgiveness should be granted to a U.S. President who, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, simply chooses to not believe that humans are responsible for climate change.
The National Climate Assessment draws on input from 13 federal agencies, including NASA and the Defense Department, with contributions from 300 scientists. The latest volume spans more than 1,600 pages, and a key recurring theme is that climate change will be devastating...
POTUS, response: "I don't believe it".
Tell it to the pika President T.

Professor Lyra Everbane was born on a crisp February morning in 1999, in the enchanting wizarding village of Mould-on-the-Wold. The Everbane family, though not wealthy, was well-respected for their scholarly pursuits, particularly in magical folklore. Her mother, Moira, was a noted magical historian, while her father, Declan, was a wandmaker who specialized in rare woods. From an early age, Lyra was captivated by the legends her mother would recount by the hearth, tales of ancient heroes, magical beasts, and forgotten civilizations.
When she arrived at Hogwarts in 2010, Lyra was sorted into Hufflepuff, a choice that delighted her family. She embodied the house’s values of dedication, patience, and loyalty, often becoming the peacemaker among her classmates. Her warmth and kindness made her a favorite among her peers, while her determined work ethic ensured her success in her studies.
Lyra excelled particularly in History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures, and Herbology. She was captivated by how myths connected to magical creatures and the natural world. She spent much of her time in the Hogwarts greenhouses or on the grounds, seeking inspiration from nature and befriending the resident creatures. Her fascination with magical folklore deepened under the mentorship of Professor Sprout and later Professor Firenze, who encouraged her to view mythology as more than mere stories—tools of wisdom and prophecy.
After graduating in 2017, Lyra embarked on a journey across the wizarding world. She spent time with Veela in Eastern Europe, learned from centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, and even gained the trust of the reclusive Merfolk communities in Greece. These experiences expanded her understanding of myth as a bridge between cultures and magical practices.
Her travels earned her respect in academic circles, but Lyra always remained grounded, refusing to let accolades overshadow her desire to teach. She returned to Hogwarts in 2029 to become the Professor of Mythological Studies, determined to pass on her knowledge to future generations.
As a professor, Lyra's Hufflepuff traits shone through. Her classroom became a haven for all students, a place where they felt valued and encouraged. She filled her lessons with interactive experiences, bringing myths to life with illusions, enchanted relics, and the occasional magical creature. Her ability to make every student feel seen and supported made her a beloved member of the Hogwarts staff.
While her sunny demeanor endeared her to many, Lyra carried an air of quiet mystery. Rumors swirled among students about the source of her knowledge of Thestrals, and some speculated that her compassion stemmed from personal loss. Despite this, she remained a constant source of hope and wisdom, always reminding her students that even the darkest myths often held lessons of resilience and light.
Today, Professor Everbane continues to inspire young witches and wizards, weaving together the wisdom of the past and the promise of the future in her teachings. Her loyalty to her students, her love of magical lore, and her steadfast determination ensure that her legacy will endure at Hogwarts for years to come.

.......85 TO 90% of this RED-TAILED HAWK's diet composed of small rodents, with rabbits, snakes and lizards included.(Image taken in Cranberry Marsh, Whitby, Ontario,Canada.)
Interesting facts:This bird is also known in the U.S. as a "chicken hawk." They may target chickens as preys. As a consequence, dead hawks hanging from fences and lying under trees and power poles are mute evidence that shooters, not understanding the economic or esthetic importance of raptors, or perhaps unaware of protective laws, still kill them indiscriminately.....(www. desertUSA.com)

What is the cracking code for photography 101?
Will it be the secrets in using your camera, your lenses your editing software and all your gadgets?
Will it be understanding about characteristics in light, shapes and textures in your composition?
Will it be the ability to find the greatest subject in the world for your photogaphy? May it be great model for portrait, great location for landscape or great collectible items for still life?
Will it be the capabilty to appreciate and uncover the beauty of all things around us? May it be your family, your home or even a mundane object?
I look at the key lock on my photo backpack and suddenly got the question of unlocking code of photography 101.
Have a great evening!

Listening to the stories of others and putting yourself in their shoes can go such a long way toward greater understanding and being better equipped for whatever lies before you. It is amazing how different a scenario can look when you have a perspective-shift and begin to view the world through the eyes of another.

I don't think you have a particularly dark character."

A night time photo of the 7m diameter 'Floating Earth'' art installation as seen at the Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival. I saw it last Autumn installed in Southwark Cathedral so seeing it floating on one of the docks made for an interesting contrast, not least as whilst it was tethered it was still bouncing about a bit like a beachball in a swimming pool.
More info and touring dates for Gaia here : my-earth.org/tour-dates/
From the website, "Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter and created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface* the artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three dimensions.
The installation aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
The artwork also acts as a mirror to major events in society. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the artwork may provide the viewer with a new perspective of our place on the planet; a sense that societies of the Earth are all interconnected and that we have a responsibility toward one another. After the lockdown, there has been a renewed respect for nature."

This is a photo of Tashina, a girl I meet through my facebook page! I had a good time taking photo's of her. This photo wasnt even planned. I saw her walking around in the location where I wanted to take a conceptual shoot, and I just took a picture. And, when I got home I seriously feel in love with the shot. It's not an expansion ! I hate and love expansion because it takes a lot of time for me because of my laptop is very slow. But, the majority of my expansions has made my photo's look better.
Overall, the photo just worked out well. I think the fog looks good. I kinda came up with that while I was editing the photo. Originally I was going to put in a bird but it didnt work out lol.

they have done it. Two years in the waiting since recording the data, the first pictures of a black hole have finally came into existence. The world’s first glimpse of a black hole’s silhouette, a picture of light which is about to die. Telescope the size of of Earth was needed, so 8 telescopes where synchronised with atomic clock to bring the light which traveled 50 million light years into the image. Ultimate hunt of astronomy photographers, the look of event horizon, has been brought to our eyes. Will it open the door to theory of everything, will it bring new level of understanding ? Watch the empty space.
The sudden cut of loss and realization is painfully sharp.
Acceptance and understanding is elusive; the suffering deeper still.
Late Sunday afternoon I went to Seymour Mountain. On each anniversary of my accident, I try to visit and go for a walk. After just missing sunset at the parking lot I took my headlamp and camera gear for a hike to Dog Mountain. Not much snow but plenty of quiet time to revisit my fall, 7 years ago now.
January 17, 2007
Simon and I went for a snowshoe hike around the east side of Seymour and went up Runner Peak. During the traverse back, about 1/2 hour from the ski runs, I fell. A long way. 600 feet below I ended up at Theta Lake. My backpack & coat ripped from my body, never to be found again. One boot and snowshoe gone. Broken shoulder, missing teeth and a neck fracture. Blood. Disorientated and cold. Though truth be told, I was very lucky to be in such good condition.
Nearly impossible to hike down but Simon makes it halfway regardless. Relieved to hear me alive, he manages to call for help. Somehow within 40 minutes and moments before dark sets in, a helicopter comes in and drops off 2 men. I clearly remember their headlamps coming towards me. I'm pretty sure I was mumbling and yelling, wondering why the helicopter had gone away. One of them told me to shut up. I had just met Tim Jones.
It took about an hour to reach the viewpoint at the end of the trail. Most of the fog below had disappeared so I sat down and decided to wait for a bit. Maybe the colder night air would bring the low cloud cover back. Besides, just sitting there gave me a chance to look up at the stars and check things out in my head.

Tim & Gord had wrapped me up within a heated blanket. They kept me alive. I think Tim's outer layer was a garbage bag with arm holes cut in it. How they had kept warm overnight I have no idea. I didn't know it at the time but Tim has been involved in over 1,500 rescues during his time with NSR since 1987. I couldn't have been in better hands.
SAR personnel had mobilized and were sent in to assist. The first group of 5 made it in before the worsening weather and terrible snow conditions forced everyone else to turn back for their own safety. Thank you Jeff, Bruce, Doug, John & Rollie. We were badly in need of help. The snow continued to fall. At one point a loud rumble headed down towards us, stopping within throwing distance. Unable to see what had happened I asked what was that. Tim replied, "Mother Nature". That avalanche forced the group to move base camp. They dug a snow cave and put me inside. I spent the next 14 hours within the hole. There was no getting home today. They all suffered worse than me I'm sure.
After realizing that only a few lingering clouds would make their way back over the city, I took this photo and packed up. No one else was out here. I headed back just before 7pm. When I passed First Lake I was surprised to hear what sounded like people above. Seemed unusual to me. Later along the trail I bumped into 3 paramedics who were on their way to help with a cardiac arrest near Dinky Peak. I gave them a hand carrying some of their heavy gear. I thought about asking if Tim was up here, as I hadn't seen him in a while, but it seemed inappropriate as they were on an emergency call so it never came up. [Tim Jones is an advanced life-support paramedic and paramedic-in-charge for the B.C. Ambulance Service in North Vancouver] On the way, they were told via radio, that another group were bringing the subject down the mountain. So we returned to the parking lot, where I left them and all the other many rescue personnel.
January 19, 2007
There was talk of a insane 10+ hour rope rescue to lift me out of this bowl if the deep clouds continued to prevent an air rescue. But finally a small opening appeared in the afternoon, and a helicopter popped in. They basically tossed me in while it hovered just above the frozen lake. Inside the helicopter and on the way to the hospital, I was laying down on the legs of Curtis Jones, Tim's son.
I simply would not have survived had his father not risked his life to rescue me. Words cannot not express the gratitude my family continues to feel towards him. I don't recall ever hearing Tim or any of the others complaining, even though none of them could have been comfortable. These volunteers are heroes in my books.
After giving a Mexican hitchhiker a ride down the mountain I received a shocking text telling me who had died on Seymour that night. The facts all tumbled into place. Tears began to fall. And the local outdoor community was devastated. Tim Jones had passed away from a heart attack.
Tim had an amazing spirit and strength. Determined and passionate. He was a larger-than-life leader of North Shore Rescue. I know he will be missed deeply by his team, friends & co-workers.
My deepest condolences to his family. I can't imagine the grief you must be feeling right now.

And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw very recently!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!

Here is Vincent's Cypress tree through my 18mm Nikkor lens shortly after sunrise. Like all superwide angle lenses with large hemispherical front elements, optical aberrations result when strong directional light reaches the front element unshaded. The most intense source of direct light that I have access to is just behind the branch on the right, and it is causing the orange and yellow blobs you see. This is called ghosting, fitting for a tree inhabited by a Dutch painter thats been dead since 1890! Reminds me of a quote: "To understand blue you must first understand yellow and orange". I am beginning to understand!

When I started taking photographs in earnest, to further my understanding I bought and digested a lot of books and magazines on the subject. I admit thinking of myself now as largely self-taught, although I suppose that's not strictly true given a lot of my knowledge has been filtered down through that of others, albeit in their absence. One of the earliest pieces of advice I can remember reading (alongside the beginner's stumbling block about a small aperture having a large F-number - someone didn't want me in this club), was to take time to explore the subject before deciding on a composition. I've stuck to this diligently to this day, and believe it's one of the fundamental disciplines that marks out a skilled photographer.
Often though, a landscape has multiple possibilities each of which have the potential to offer a great result. This may depend on conditions at the time, or even the photographer's relationship with and appreciation for the subject - not too mention the characteristics of the lens he chooses to shoot with. I'd seen this simple building (actually an old coastguard's lookout post) shot once or twice from close up and directly in front, and on arriving could understand why. To my eye, there were actually two key point's of view of the building once at the summit - the one I'd already seen and another from the right hand-side slightly below the plateau, taking into account a little section of diagonal fence that drops down nicely to form a pleasing angle with the intersecting sea. I must have spent well over an hour crouched down in the long grass at this second vantage point, waiting for the light to come good and pick out the white-washed surfaces amidst brooding cloud. Two other photographers came and went while I was there (both shot from the front), along with the usual dog walkers - one of whom told me a little about the history of the place. Eventually deciding I'd got the shot, I packed up and started to head back down the steady incline, intent on heading elsewhere. It was then that I turned around. I nearly always do this when walking away from a subject, it's almost like saying goodbye to somewhere I've forged a brief connection with and may never visit again. Suddenly I realised this was perhaps 'my' composition, the one that separated it from those I'd already seen and perhaps incorporated best a sense of the place for me. Moving just a few paces further down the track I set up and took just the one shot before the light faded, rendering the building a dull gray. As is typical for me, I shot vertically, and despite originally intending to include more of the sky in my envisaged square crop this is the frame that I feel works best. Luckily I made a reasonable attempt at hyperfocus taking into account the foreground low in the frame, which allowed me to crop as here without losing too much.
Is this the 'best' composition? No, there's no such thing - it's just the one that worked best for me this time round. I still have the unedited RAW's from the other two spots I mentioned, and always have the option of processing those should I so choose. Even with this one, there are subtle changes I could have made had I so wished - for instance the little hut could have been placed directly on intersecting thirds (perhaps a little obvious, but I like forming squares within squares so went with near-intersecting quarters here), or I could have shot really low and thrown out the focus of the stony path altogether. The point is there are compositional choices with most subjects, and it really is worth taking the time to consider just what they may be...
On a separate note, my gratitude goes to Andrew Gibson for interviewing me again for his current excellent series on long exposure photographers.
www.andrewsgibson.com/blog/2012/12/long-exposure-photogra...
We must be a pretty tight-knit community as I've recognised all but one of those so far interviewed - each of which have made for fascinating reading - so if unacquainted I'd encourage you to check out the links to some of the others too. There are some very talented people offering insight!

There is always a bit of a gamble to visit the Vatican museums, because you never know which rooms and departments that will be closed for the day - but if you're lucky you can at least look into the room. This is what happened with the Chariot room, also known as 'Sala della biga' (named after the Roman chariot sculpture on display here - the sculpture originally dates to the first century A.D., but it was heavily restored in 1788). This room was built in the late 18th century in a neo-classical style and also contains one of the Roman marble copies (after a Greek bronze original) of the Discobolus by Myron, found at Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. It would of course have been nice to see these pieces a bit more up close, but on the other hand this meant that you got a better understanding of the whole room and that was quite special too!

I don't know that I was ever as excited about a thick and obscuring fog as I was on this morning in Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park as I went along the Damnation Creek Trail. Nearly every turn greeted me with more jaw-dropping wonder and mystery. I'm not sure a smile left my face for hours. I've shared photos and a video from here already, and I will certainly continue to do so in coming weeks!

Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church and School: 1967-2009
September 15th is the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. Simeon predicted that a sword would pierce Mary’s heart (Luke 2:35) and the Church honors her seven sorrows. There have been two churches with this title in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, one in Monroe and the other in Roselawn, pictured above, which closed in 2009. Take from The Catholic Telegraph issue dated 28 September 1967, the caption reads,
“Archbishop Karl J. Alter addresses parishioners at the newly renovated Our Mother of Sorrows Church, Cincinnati [Roselawn]. The school cafeteria was converted into a church to accommodate a larger number of persons. Parishioners performed most of the work, according to Father Andrew J. Hoying, pastor. The dedication ceremony was held on the feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sept. 15.”

The Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite takes us over the largest island of the Azores: São Miguel. Resting at the intersection of the Eurasian, African and North American tectonic plates, the Azores form a string of volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, some 1500 km west of mainland Portugal. The nine major islands are divided into three groups, with São Miguel falling into the eastern group.
The archipelago is an autonomous region of Portugal and home to just under 250 000 people. We can see the capital of the region, Ponta Delgada, in the bottom left of the image. The main transport hub of the Azores, João Paulo II de Ponta Delgada International Airport, is clearly visible in the same part of the image. Tourism is an important industry for the islands, with visitors flocking to enjoy the unspoilt beaches and breathtaking landscapes, from the geysers of São Miguel to the natural waterfalls of Flores.
Known locally as the Green Island, São Miguel is the most populous of the islands and amidst the lush foliage, volcanic craters, and freshwater lakes, visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to visual attractions.
The largest freshwater lake in the Azores, Lagoa das Sete Cidades, can be seen in the top left of the image. It lies in a large volcanic crater and consists of two lakes: Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde. On the right of the image we can see Furnas Lake, in the Furnas Valley, famous for its volcanic cones. The volcanic landscape of the island has even influenced local cooking methods. Cozido das Furnas, a stew-type dish, is prepared by lowering a pot filled with meat and vegetables into the hot springs dotted around the valley, and leaving it to cook for around five hours.
The Azores islands are rich in terms of flora and fauna, and are home to a large number of resident and migratory bird populations. Efforts are being made to restore and expand the laurel forests typical of the Macaronesian islands (an area covering the archipelagos of Madeira, Azores, Canary Islands and Cape Verde) as only around 2% of the native laurel forest remains on the islands.
ESA, in collaboration with the French Space Agency, CNES, is organising a symposium on 25 years of progress in radar altimetry, which will be held in Ponta Delgada from 24–29 September. With global sea-level rise a global concern, the symposium will focus on the advances made in our understanding of the open ocean, the cryosphere, and coastal and land processes. The annual meeting of the Ocean Surface Topography Science Team and the International DORIS Service Workshop will also be held in the same week.
This image, which was captured on 8 September 2016, is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme.
