Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!

Often we are visited by thoughts that may reveal something unknown ... Our mind many times tries to solve a problem with known methods ... This is its main mistake! The path of the heart opens the doors that appear in our path. It is a pity that not everyone has the courage to insert the keys that are always with us ...

*Not the brand or technique is important in photographic art, but the understanding of the things behind the photographed subjects, the emotion, the composition, the joy or the sadness, the life itself that is mysteriously coming unrepeatable as a gift.
(Horia Stanicel)
* I have seen a large part of the most popular or devoted photographers' photographs over time and of course I can say that most of them have speculated on different situations, angles of photography, shadows, different brightness, feelings, human tragedies, all kinds of paradoxical situations that of course make them noticed. I do not want to bring any name into question for the simple reason that each photographic artist has a unique value. However, I regard the photographic art as a simple spectator that is difficult to be convince most of the times. I contemplate the creation of God and every time I photograph I do not forget how grateful we should be for all the beauty that our Creator gave it to us! People who forget this do nothing but hate themselves and the world they live in and photography is nothing but a mirror of this beautiful or crooked world.(Horia Stanicel)
*Nu aparatul foto sau tehnica este importantă în arta fotografică, ci înțelegerea lucrurilor care stau în spatele subiectelor fotografiate,emoția, compoziția, bucuria sau tristețea, viața însăși care vine tainic irepetabil ca un dar.
(Horia Stanicel)
*Am văzut o mare parte a fotografiilor celor mai populari sau consacrați artiști fotografi de-a lungul timpului și desigur pot spune că majoritatea dintre ei au speculat diversele situații,unghiuri de fotografiere, umbre, luminozitati diferite,sentimente,tragedii umane chiar,tot felul de situații paradoxale care desigur să-i facă remarcați.Nu vreau să aduc vreun nume în discuție pentru simplul motiv că fiecare artist fotograf are o valoare unică. Totuși eu privesc arta fotografică ca un simplu spectator greu de convins de cele mai multe ori.Eu contemplu creația lui Dumnezeu și de fiecare dată când fotografiez nu uit cât de recunoscători ar trebui să fim pentru toată frumusețea pe care Creatorul nostru ne-a daruit-o! Oamenii care uită aceasta nu fac decât să se urâțească pe ei înșiși dar și lumea în care trăiesc iar fotografia nu este decât o oglindă a acestei lumi frumoase sau urâțite.

The Hydrangeas did very well this year, although in general the heads are smaller probably due to the hot summer.
Now some have been dried and form a lovely dash of colour in the room.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
Flower lovers will know that there is a flower language.
Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by delicate blooms.
Of course, even the experts disagree on the "true meaning" of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people.
So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, a gift of flowers for a special someone will always create its own personal meaning, too.
HYDRANGEA - Thank You for Understanding.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me, confide in me
I can keep a secret
And throw away the key
But sometimes to release it
Is to set our children free
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

So i had originally intended to do a classic silhouette shower death scene but my bathroom is really not big enough. I also wanted to try a monster from under the bed but again my bed is too high with storage so no can do. So what was i left with to do, pour some paint in my mouth and snarl as much as possible!
I wish i could say this was alright but the poster paint tasted weird and i am still rinsing my mouth out like crazy, thankfully it is subsiding though. I tried this shot in red as well but it seemed to loose impact so i opted for the yellow putrification one might see after death, plus it reminds me of Sin City. :)
I really need to brighten my shots up more, anyhoo off to bed, work tomoz then enjoying the weekend. Catch you laters guys. :)

I now have a modified radiator, oil cooler, electric fan, to stop me from getting hot and bothered. The boss has been very understanding, and I am looking forward to getting back to work. I am towing Anastasia up to Edinburgh later on today.
She is not too heavy and has curves in all the right places , if you catch my drift.
On parade and to my extreme right is Oscar with his sheer sides very short wheel base, and lights behind the grill. In the middle is Old Faithful, whose reliability and performance is awesome, and then me. By the time I was built headlights were in the wings to comply with changes to lighting regulations in The North American Dollar Area (NADA) where many of my 6 pot brethren ended up.
According to the info board it said not to long ago lighting struck this rock and split it - but as in talk of weather or astronomy when they say not to long ago their understanding of the time line is way different than the average person.
UNESCO: Ban Chiang is considered the most important prehistoric settlement so far discovered in South-East Asia. It marks an important stage in human cultural, social and technological evolution. The site presents the earliest evidence of farming in the region and of the manufacture and use of metals.
The site was first discovered in 1966. It has since been extensively excavated and its remains studied by Thai and international scholars. Since 1966 the dating of the site has been adjusted and refined over time in line with advances in the understanding and techniques of radiometric dating. This research has revealed that the site dates from 1,495 BC .and contains early evidence for settled agrarian occupation in Southeast Asia, along with evidence of wet rice agriculture, associated technological complex of domesticated farm animals, ceramic manufacture, and bronze tool-making technology.

The Mikoyan-Gurevitch MiG-21 is an iconic Soviet fighter aircraft that has seen extensive use worldwide since the 1950s. In Helsinki, Finland, a MiG-21 can be seen as a historical and cultural artifact, often displayed in museums or as a souvenir to the Cold War and aviation history. You can see this MiG-21 in the Finnish Aviation Museum Suomen Ilmailumuseo, located near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. This museum has an extensive collection of aircraft, including the MiG-21, which played an important role in the history of the Finnish Air Force. Finland purchased several MiG-21s from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. These aircraft were used by the Finnish Air Force and played a crucial role in the country's air defense during the Cold War. The MiG-21 was one of the most advanced fighter jets of its time and was known for its speed, maneuverability and simple yet effective design. The MiG-21 is a single-engine supersonic fighter aircraft designed for aerial combat and interception missions. The aircraft is known for its delta wing design and high speed, can reach speeds of up to Mach 2 and has an operational ceiling of approximately 17,500 meters. The presence of the MiG-21 in museums in Helsinki is a reminder of the complex geopolitical situation during the Cold War, with Finland having to strike a delicate balance between the influence of both the Soviet Union and the West. It also shows the technological advancements and military capabilities of the time, as well as the cooperation and tensions between different countries.
Visit to the MiG-21 at the Finnish Aviation Museum located in Vantaa, near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, this museum is a must-visit for aviation enthusiasts. It offers in-depth insights into Finland's aviation history and the role of aircraft such as the MiG-21. By visiting such exhibitions, visitors gain a better understanding of the historical and technical aspects of the MiG-21, as well as the broader context of the Cold War and aviation development in Finland.
De Mikoyan-Gurevitch MiG-21 is een iconisch Sovjet-gevechtsvliegtuig dat wereldwijd veelvuldig is gebruikt sinds de jaren 1950. In Helsinki, Finland, kan men een MiG-21 zien als een historisch en cultureel artefact, vaak tentoongesteld in musea of als een herinnering aan de Koude Oorlog en de luchtvaartgeschiedenis. Deze MiG-21 kun je zien in het Fins Luchtvaartmuseum Suomen Ilmailumuseo, gelegen nabij de luchthaven Helsinki-Vantaa. Dit museum heeft een uitgebreide collectie vliegtuigen, waaronder de MiG-21, die een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in de geschiedenis van de Finse luchtmacht. Finland kocht in de jaren 1960 en 1970 verschillende MiG-21's van de Sovjet-Unie. Deze vliegtuigen werden gebruikt door de Finse luchtmacht en speelden een cruciale rol in de luchtverdediging van het land tijdens de Koude Oorlog. De MiG-21 was een van de meest geavanceerde straaljagers van zijn tijd en stond bekend om zijn snelheid, wendbaarheid en eenvoudige maar effectieve ontwerp. De MiG-21 is een supersonisch jachtvliegtuig met een enkele motor, ontworpen voor luchtgevechten en onderscheppingsmissies. Het vliegtuig is bekend om zijn deltavleugelontwerp en hoge snelheid. kan snelheden tot Mach 2 bereiken en heeft een operationeel plafond van ongeveer 17.500 meter. De aanwezigheid van de MiG-21 in musea in Helsinki herinnert aan de complexe geopolitieke situatie tijdens de Koude Oorlog, waarbij Finland een delicate balans moest vinden tussen de invloed van zowel de Sovjet-Unie als het Westen. Het toont ook de technologische vooruitgang en militaire capaciteiten van die tijd, evenals de samenwerking en spanningen tussen verschillende landen.

i've found myself contemplating the many aspects and problems of communication lately, both verbal and written. Communication is the main artery in which to connect with another human being, which is in itself, innate...and what we desire and fear the most.
To speak and be spoken to...to hear and be heard. The latter is so much harder to do...

The California tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) is endemic to California grasslands. It's threatened by habitat destruction and hybridization with the barred tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum mavortium). The latter species was intentionally introduced as fish bait and readily hybridizes with A. californiense. Unfortunately, very few unaffected populations of the native California tiger salamander remain. However, this has become a model system for understanding the evolutionary and conservation implications of hybridization.
ok.. ok ok ok.. by dropping the light intensity down to zero, with the new light colours installed, it looks like this. which i think is waaaay better.. I love it when your own project wrinkles your own brain.
This is a new night shot of my Palm Hill Skate Park at night, with updated lighting effects, thanks to the incredible assistance of wrtyler on Flickr. This dude has been paramount in my new understandings of altering Stud.io's new lighting features to make everything better.. what a star!!

Webb has revealed an exoplanet atmosphere as never seen before!
The telescope has revisited gas giant WASP-39 b to give us the first molecular and chemical profile of an exoplanet’s atmosphere, revealing the presence of water, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, sodium and potassium, as well as signs of clouds. This builds on Webb’s initial look at the planet back in August, which showed the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide in a planet outside our solar system. The latest findings bode well for Webb’s capability to investigate all types of exoplanets, including the atmospheres of smaller, rocky planets like those in the TRAPPIST-1 system.
We learn about exoplanet atmospheres by breaking their light into components and creating spectra. Think of a spectrum as a barcode. Elements and molecules have characteristic signatures in that “barcode” we can read.
This planet is what is known as a “hot Saturn” — a planet about as massive as Saturn but eight times closer in orbit around its star than Mercury is around the Sun. The data shown here is taken from 3 of Webb’s science instruments. Together, they mark a series of firsts in science, including the first detection of sulfur dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere. This, in turn, is the first concrete evidence of photochemistry — chemical reactions initiated by high-energy light, which are fundamental to life on Earth — on an exoplanet. Understanding the ratio of different elements in relation to each other also offers clues as to how the planet was formed.

The top graph shows data from Webb’s NIRISS instrument, the bottom graph data from NIRSpec. Both graphs show the amount of light blocked on the y axis versus wavelength of light on the x axis. The y axes range from 2.00 percent (less light blocked) to 2.35 percent (more light blocked). The x axes range from less than 0.1 microns to 5.5 microns. Data points are plotted as white circles with gray error bars. A curvy blue line represents a best-fit model. The NIRISS data covers a range of about 0.5 to 3.0 microns and highlights the signatures of potassium, water and carbon monoxide in semi-transparent bars of varying colors. Potassium is gray, water is blue, and carbon monoxide is red. The NIRSpec data covers a range of about 2.5 to 5.25 microns. It highlights water and carbon monoxide in addition to sulfur dioxide in green and carbon dioxide in yellow.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.

I'm working on two novels that take place in the nineteenth century. Horses figure prominently in both the world of 19th century Manhattan and New York State, and in Oklahoma in the 1880's and 90's. I will appreciate any help you can give me to increase my understanding about how horses fucntion in this world.
