The Siege of Port Hudson occurred from May 21 to July 9, 1863, when Union Army troops assaulted and then surrounded the Mississippi River town of Port Hudson, Louisiana, during the American Civil War.
In cooperation with Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's offensive against Vicksburg, Mississippi, Union Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks' army of 40,000 Union soldiers moved against the Confederate stronghold at Port Hudson on the Mississippi River where 7,500 Confederates troops under the command of Maj. Gen. Franklin Gardner, CSA, a New Yorker by birth, awaited their assualt. On May 27, 1863, after their frontal assaults were repulsed, the Federals settled into a siege that lasted for 48 days. Banks renewed his assaults on June 14 but the defenders successfully repelled them. On July 9, 1863, after hearing of the fall of Vicksburg, the Confederate garrison of Port Hudson surrendered, ending the longest siege in American history and opening the Mississippi River to Union navigation from its source to New Orleans.

The use of the snoot underwater opens up a wide range of lighting possibilities, leaving the final result to your creativity and technique.
This cheeky little blenny was just poking its head out of its rock shelter, so I was able to isolate it well with the snoot.

La utilización del snoot bajo el agua, abre un gran abanico de posibilidades en la iluminación, dejando a tu creatividad y técnica el resultado final.
Este pequeño y atrevido blenio solo asomaba su cabeza de su refugio en la roca, por lo que pude aislarlo bien con el snoot.

I was just experimenting, using my Basic Flower Photograph, to see what I could do with some Photoshop's Distortion Filters.
This one is a Passion Vine Flower where I used the Mosaic Tiles Filter.

Abandoned entrance to an old castle in the woods near Oregon,IL.The castle was built in the late '20s as a private residence and was sold to the Presbyterian Church which now uses it as a retreat center,by also holds a popular Olde English Faire every October.The castle's location on the bluffs above the Rock River makes for some great river views as well nature walks.
The castle was modeled after the Hearst Castle in California.The builder,Walter Strong,was a media tycoon with the Chicago Tribune.He did much of the designing and work himself.Sadly he only lived in the castle 2 years before dying...
By the way,there is another entrance to the castle down the road,however,it shows a lot less atmosphere....

I have used the analogy when speaking to large groups about how the teen years can be like a leaf floating down a stream and how it's our job as adults to cause gentle ripples in the water to guide their way so that they don't get caught in side eddies, riptides or anything else that would slow down their progress as they journey down their "stream" of life. This capture reminded me of this analogy.
One of the cool things I love about Kauai is that there are so many little roads that you can follow for miles, never seeing another soul, and happen upon little grass knolls and gently rolling streams like this.
On day #5 of our little virtual vacation I hope that you are able to find places in your own life to sit calmly, listen to the gentle waters of your travels and reflect on the journey.
This is the part of the vacation that I hate... knowing that I only have two days left and I'm just starting to relax )-:
Tomorrow it's time for a little "tubular dude!!!" Don't guess... you'll be wrong (-:
For Macro Mondays "Single Use". I really like mirrorless cameras except for the dust on the sensor. I find it's a problem with long exposures and/or small apertures.
Expired/Discontinued Kodak Professional T400 CN Film (Process C-41)/Canonet QL-17 G-III
Well friends, the Canonet QL-17 G-III I purchased as a gift for my sister came back from Camera Techs looking almost as good as new.
Chuck, the technician that worked on this camera did an amazing job. Whatever old foam was left on the camera had turned--with the years and lack of use-- into a black sticky tar that threatened with dislodging and spreading around the guts of the camera, lens, etc.
Prior to taking the Canonet in, I tried to remove as much of the gooey matter as possible with a paper towel wrapped index finger, loaded a roll and shot it to see how much light was leaking through. You can see the shots on this Canonet set (about 7 shots prior to this one). It was really bad.
In any case, this is the first roll shot post-repair. Tested at all speeds and apertures for the past two days (this photo was taken around 11am this morning, on my way to Matt's at the Market for lunch with friends) and developed about an hour ago at Rite-Aid in White Center. All photos, ALL 24 frames came out.
Tomorrow the camera will be sent--along with a brand new Domke Gripper strap I got at Glazer's and a rubberized hooded UV filter (found on eBay, to double up as lens protection)--to my sister all the way to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Before I send the camera to Giselle I'll take a photo of the foam job to share with fellow Canonet lovers and anyone here in Seattle who's been thinking of replacing the foam on a vintage camera such as this one. It is fantastic what skilled hands can do with great little cameras that have been abandoned and forgotten for years and deserve to be used and enjoyed.
Gissy, get ready. You are going to love your camera. ;D
I used to think of January as cold but bright but not any more. Most days it has been dark and foggy.
Thank you everyone so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups
I used to see lots more of these on my local patch but only see occasionally now. I got great views of this beauty as the cold weather bought them very close to the edge of the reed bed.

Using a rebuilt GP38 as its primary power (along with a GP30 that was parked somewhere else on this day), the Iowa River Railroad operates about 7 miles of former M&StL trackage in central Iowa. The railroad runs from an interchange with CN at Ackley down to the Pine Lake Corn Processors ethanol plant at Cleves, the only customer on the line.

I used some of my apples to make apple butter yesterday, using my Instant Pot. I had never made this before; in fact, I am not sure I have ever tasted it before. However, it was very easy to make using the Instant Pot - slice the apples into the pot, add some sugar, spices, vanilla, and a small amount of water. There was no need to peel the apples, which surprised me to read, but it actually worked. After a while the apples were cooked and I used an immersion blender to smooth everything out. I decided to can the apple butter, but I could have frozen it instead.
Note: I have the small version of the Instant Pot, so I could only make a small amount in it. You could make twice as much in the regular size pot :-)
Built by EMD in 1966 for the Milwaukee Road and most likely still wearing some of that original factory paint underneath that disrespectful Soo Line patch job, GP40 2016 was soaking up some winter sunshine in the east end of Bensenville in 2001.
It certainly deserved better.
I used to swim here as a teenager.... These days, I prefer to sit in the shade and watch as the young ones have their fun in the water.
It's a very popular spot. There's a huge barbecue area, a foot bridge to cross to the other side for a walk, lots of ducks in the water, and it has also become a very popular spot for weddings.
Just near here is the Axeman's Hall of Fame, where our own champion axeman David Foster is heavily featured.

Not a conventional title, but I have to admit that this beauty is from last year and that is why I called it a used bird. A couple of these beauties have returned this year, but they were extremely skittish and I had little luck yesterday on the bayou. The winds were a bit higher as I made a rare visit to the bayou in the afternoon. In some places the trees blocked the wind and it was quite pleasant, but it caused issues in other areas. I’ll get to the photos from yesterday in due time. This Roseate Spoonbill was foraging in an area that we call the flats and was a bit more cooperative. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou and a bit of a change of pace from the usual characters that we usually see.

While at the Trestle Vista Observation Site in Lincoln National Forest with a view looking to the southeast to some nearby wildflowers and then the Mexican Canyon Trestle.
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) used a long lens to document what crews have termed one of the most spectacular features of the planet: the dunes of the Namib Sand Sea.
Looking inland (from an ISS position over the South Atlantic) near sunset, the highest linear dunes show smaller linear dunes riding along their crests. Linear dunes are generally aligned parallel to the formative wind—in this case, strong winds from the south. Southerly winds explain the parallel north-aligned linear dunes on the left side of the image.
But this simple pattern is disrupted near the Tsondab valley. The valley acts as a funnel for winds from the east. These less frequent but strong winter winds are channeled down the valley and usually carry large amounts of sand, similar to the Santa Ana winds in California. These strong easterly winds significantly deflect all the linear dunes near the valley so that they point downwind (image center).
Further inland (right), the north-pointing and west-pointing patterns appear superimposed, making a rectangular pattern. Because the Namib Desert is very old—dating from the time when the cold, desert-forming Benguela ocean current started to flow about 37 million years ago—wind patterns and dune patterns have shifted over time. North-oriented dunes have shifted north and east with drier climates and stronger winds, overriding but not removing earlier dune chains and making the rectangular dune network we see today.
The Tsondab River is a well-known Namib Desert river because it is blocked by linear dunes (just outside the left margin of the image) 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean. Research has shown that during wetter times, it did reach the ocean. The name Tsondab means “that which is running is suddenly stopped” in the local Khoisan language.
Along the edge of the dune-free Tsondab River valley, we can see star dunes, which are smaller and display multiple arms (top left).

I used the Modern Mood Quilt tutorial to make these blocks. It was really fun and I totally enjoyed the process! I'd love to make a bigger composition with this method one day, but for now, this is enough.
Kristine, I hope you love them as much as I do! (and I'm sorry about some of the puckers.. piecing curves is a skill I'm still trying to master!)
