The Blue Lake was created during the Otago gold mining era. It started as a hill and was reduced to a pit from which shafts and then hydraulic elevators brought up gravel for sluicing. In its day it was the deepest mining hole in the Southern Hemisphere. When mining stopped, it flooded full of water. The blue color of the lake is caused by the mineral content of the surrounding, visually striking cliffs.
Visually and aurally, it's a shame the two EMD locos weren't leading, but one shouldn't complain even when the Train Gods provide a subawesome foursome.

This image is probably one of the most personal, and visually meaningful, images I've ever posted.
A perfect storm of stress, depression, illness and a severe lack of sleep over a period of several weeks culminated in putting my head into one of the scariest places it's ever been in, and appropriately enough whilst on a 3 day holiday sabbatical in the mountains of Snowdonia last week. They were 3 days I hope I never have to experience the like of which again. The sense of isolation, of disjointedness from the world around me, of not even being sure who I was anymore was emotionally and mentally excruciating. The nights were the worst, unable to sleep I experienced the full depth of myself while at the same time feeling so terrifyingly distant from everything in existence. Identity and reality fractured, insanity beckoned…
Strangely enough, as much as it scared me, it was finding my depth that was my saviour, that and the love of a woman who reached down into my personal hell, gently pulled me out and helped me see the light again, inner and outer. If she hadn't been there to listen to my ramblings, my fears, and to comfort me in the darkest moments, I dread to think what the consequences for my mental health would have been.
I've thought long and hard about revealing such a personal experience here on flickr, but ultimately I'm willingly to do so if it helps just one person going through something similar to take a risk and reach out and talk to someone they trust implicitly, and maybe you who read this with a sound mind could extend a hand to someone who you know is going through their own personal hell and be the spar they cling onto in their storm tossed ocean, and slowly but surely carry them back to the safety of the shore. Don't worry, you don't have to come up with answers to their issues, it's enough to lend an ear to their fears. I tried to deal it with by myself but badly crashed and burned. I kept quiet because of pride, fear and the belief that no one could help me. They can. Find that person you trust, and talk, talk like there's no tomorrow, don't leave it until you're hanging on by your fingernails like I did.

One of the most popular and visually rewarding megalithic sites in Wales, Pentre Ifan is a splendid dolmen with a huge capstone delicately poised on three uprights. Once known as Arthurs' Quoit, 'Pentre Ifan' means 'Ivan's Village'.
Description -This monument dates from around 4,000 - 3,500 BC and was unusually oriented opening to the south, standing on the slope of a ridge commanding extensive views over the Nevern Valley and Fishguard Bay. What we see today is but a fragment of the original structure,
The capstone weighs over 16 tons; it is 5m (16ft 6in) long and 2.4m (8ft) off the ground. The stones of the chamber are all of local igneous rock; on the portal stone there is a faint decorative cup-mark.
Excavations in 1936-7 and 1958-9 showed that the dolmen originally lay within a shallow oval pit, and that the trapezoidal mound of earth covering it was up to 36m (120ft) long. The semi-circular façade, as in the Irish passage mounds/court-tombs, was marked by two upright stones on either side of the south-facing portal. The forecourt was blocked with rows of tightly wedged stones; some of the original kerbstones around the barrow can still be seen. Within the cairn were a number of enigmatic features: a slumped stone, deliberately felled before the cairn was built, an irregular line of small stone-holes and a pit with signs of burning.
The Blue Lake was created during the Otago gold mining era. It started as a hill and was reduced to a pit from which shafts and then hydraulic elevators brought up gravel for sluicing. In its day it was the deepest mining hole in the Southern Hemisphere. When mining stopped, it flooded full of water. The blue color of the lake is caused by the mineral content of the surrounding, visually striking cliffs.
Another shot from one of the most visually stunning shows that I have ever seen. It features two members of 'Kataklo', an athletic dance group from Italy, composed entirely of former Olympic gymnasts.
I became friendly with the show's producer (Angella Kwon) during last year's Edinburgh Fringe, having previously met (and become friendly with) her sister Boram (who currently studies at my old university in Stirling) during the 2005 Fringe. Both are South Korean and Angella was producing two South Korean shows at this year's Edinburgh Fringe...and also Kataklo.
We were having lunch, the day before the last Kataklo show (I had only seen them perform on the Royal Mile) when Angella kindly invited me along and asked me to take photographs. I could not have taken this shot with my old camera. This (and several others like this) were taken at 3200 ISO, hand held with a shutter speed of 1/20th of a second (I just love image stabilisation) and relying on autofocus. I love my Canon EOS-5D!
As I have previously mentioned, one of my friends, Ken Campbell, has a progressive rock group called 'Crooked Mouth'. At the moment, he is preparing their second album (called 'Hold in the Sun') for release. I will be providing photographs for the CD, the idea being to produce a photo that represents each different song. However, one of these shots is a candidate for the CD cover. You can find out more about Crooked Mouth and hear some samples (and even order their first CD!) here: Crooked Mouth
If you like this shot, please have a look at my Kataklo set.

Virtue most valued; Sacrifice
Many agree that the safest place on Okoto is just behind wherever Iishu is standing. In battle Iishu draws the ire of her foes upon herself, and creates opportunities for her people to strike safely and in unison. Iishu oversees the reigon of fire with an unparalleled sense of grace and honour, though the weight of her responsibility overwhelms her from time to time.
---------------------------------------------
Iishu took the most work out of any of the six.
I spent a long time on a complex brick built shield with a rapid shooter mounted within, but it stood out so much due to being heavy on the parts count that it just didn't go with the rest of the line, and Iishu already had a large number of parts due to her build. Scrapping it for a more minimal weapon set was the most difficult call I made with this line, since it took so much effort to create, but I believe it has paid off.
Iishu is the only one of the six whose colour scheme has been drastically changed from the original protector. I didn't really enjoy that the trans-neon orange studs didn't match the mask's trans-yellow on Narmoto, so I switched those out. I wish I could've included more trans-yellow but my parts in that colour are limited.
Iishu's finalised pictures bored me despite her having my favourite build, I decided she needed a highlight colour to make her pop visually, so I decided to include trans-light blue, which in my opinion has worked really well but I'm sure many others wont enjoy it. I think it makes sense for her element, since fire can be blue.
I worked hard to give each protector a distinct sihlouette, and I think Iishu's is the most effective of them all. Iishu was originally based off a knight in full plate - now she's finalised she reminds me of Samus from Metroid.
Yikes, this description got a bit long. Thanks for looking!

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.

Sadly not a patch on previous times I've been. Visually less of everything across the board. It's clear reenactors, stall holders, vintage vehicles etc., have given it a miss in advance.
The event organisers [Pike and Shot] say 80% of the groups let them down. Cant blame the groups for the mass exodus. You're the organisers, they have supported this event for over 10 years. The fault is on your doorstep.
I was watching and listening to the fella firing up the Rolls Royce engine. He was furious to put it mildly (as seen in my video). He received a call to start it earlier than scheduled. He had to! He did with reluctance and was subsequently drowning out the singers nearby. When he challenged the staff about it they were not so sympathetic. Awful for him. To his credit he apologised to the small crowd of what happened that he was instructed to start the engine early. So for me, this was a live example of the organisers causing unrest as the event unfolded.
Having been to several 1940s events this year, this was the bottom of the pile. When I spoke with quite a few visitors and stall holders etc., they were expecting so much more, as in the past.
Singer: Miss Trixie Holiday
The other singer, not in this video, was Ricky Hunter. Decided not to include him in my video because he spent way too much time looking at his phone, playlist, drinking water, while singing, rather than entertain the crowd. He was a last minute guest singer anyway. He had not been invited for over 5 years.
Entrance fee was £10! (reduced to £4 very late on into the second day). No concessions. No signposting to the event. No map or itinerary. Limited parking. A bare bones event. Purely the fault of the organisers and Rufford Abbey Estate collectively.

"The Washington population of the Black Oystercatcher is estimated to be roughly 400 birds. This number is probably not significantly different from the historical population, as these birds require fairly specialized habitat, which is not evenly distributed. Oystercatchers are highly vulnerable to human disturbance, oil spills, and pollution of the intertidal zone. Numbers of Black Oystercatchers on the outer coast may be higher than in the past, in part due to decreased human disturbance resulting from lighthouse automation. Numbers in inland areas, however, have declined in response to increased human activity. The Northern Pacific Coast Regional Shorebird Management Plan has identified the Black Oystercatcher as a regional species of high concern."
"The Black Oystercatcher is restricted in its range, never straying far from shores, in particular favoring rocky shorelines. It has been suggested that this bird is seen mostly on coastal stretches which have some quieter embayments, such as jetty protected areas. It forages in the intertidal zone, feeding on marine invertebrates, particularly molluscs such as mussels, limpets and chitons. It will also take crabs, isopods and barnacles. It hunts through the intertidal area, searching for food visually, often so close to the water's edge it has to fly up to avoid crashing surf. It uses its strong bill to dislodge food and pry shells open."

No me lo puedo creer, he acabado…
Hace un año comencé el proyecto “365 days” realizando un autorretrato cada día con la intención de encontrar un estilo definido dentro de la fotografía, y de mejorar técnica y visualmente, ya que había dejado de lado mi cámara y veía que no avanzaba nada…
Poco a poco fui expresando en cada una de las fotos mis sentimientos: tensión, alegría, deseo, incertidumbre, inseguridad, mis mayores miedos… fue un punto de fuga para liberarme, para contar lo que me pasaba en cada momento, el no poder más, o el estallar de felicidad. Momentos de reflexión, de encontrarme a mí misma, de preguntarme las cosas y buscar respuestas a lo que estaba haciendo. Llegó un momento en el que ya no por el proyecto, sino por mí, necesitaba superarme a mi misma en cada foto, y como persona. El proyecto se convirtió en parte de mi vida. No era simplemente una foto al día, sino una historia. Adquirió un sentido más allá de la pura técnica, del dominio de la luz y la composición. Conseguí el equilibrio entre mi pasión por la fotografía, y la expresividad de los sentimientos.
Durante este año me he sacrificado cada día por hacer una foto diferente, por mejorar, sorprenderme, y sorprenderos…he conocido muchísimas personas, gente extraordinaria que me ha apoyado cada día, que sin este proyecto quizás no habría conocido jamás, y de los que he aprendido un montón…
Sé que aunque parezca una tontería, este año no se me va a olvidar en la vida, porque forma parte de mí, y porque ha ocupado más tiempo el proyecto en mi día a día que cualquier otra cosa…
Sólo quería agradecer a todos y cada uno de vosotros el apoyo diario, gente que sin conocerme de nada ha estado ahí desde el primer día, a mis amigos, a mi familia, a mi novio…que tanto me has aguantado cada día…a mi madre, que el primer día me llamó loca, y ha estado ahí día a día apoyándome incondicionalmente…a todos mis amigos del flickr que estáis ahí cada día…
Os digo a todos mil gracias, y que tranquilos, este proyecto se acaba, pero empezarán otros nuevos ;)
No digo que haga una foto al día ni mucho menos, necesito un pequeño descanso, pero tengo unos cuantos proyectos en mente desde hace tiempo ;)
También iré subiendo fotos de este 365 days que no habeis visto y se han quedado por el camino…
Y espero en poco tiempo poder hacer un libro con todas las fotos, y alguna exposición, asique os iré informando.
De nuevo y tras esta parrafada, GRACIAS.
365 end…

I can not believe I have finished ...
A year ago I started the project "365 days" by a self-portrait every day with the intentionof finding a definite style in photography, and to improve technique and visually, as it hadput aside my camera and saw that no progress ...
Little by little I was expressing in each of the photos my feelings, tension, joy, desire,uncertainty, insecurity, my biggest fears ... it was a vanishing point to free me, to tell what was happening at all times, not power , or bursting with happiness. Moments ofreflection, to find myself, to ask things and find answers to what he was doing. There came a time when not by the project, but for me, I needed to beat myself in the photo,and a person. The project became part of my life. It was not just a photo a day, but astory. Acquired a meaning beyond the pure technical mastery of light and composition. I got the balance between my passion for photography, and the expression of feelings.
During this year I have sacrificed every day to make a different picture, for better,surprise, and surprise you ... I have met many people, extraordinary people who supported me every day, that without this project might not have ever known, and those I learned a lot ...
Be that as it may seem silly, this year I will not forget in life, because part of me, andbecause more time has held the project in my daily life than anything else ...
Just wanted to thank each and every one of you daily support, people who withoutknowing me has been there from day one, my friends, my family, my boyfriend ... how much I have endured every day ... my mother, the first day he called me crazy, and hasbeen there every day supporting me unconditionally ... to all my flickr friends who arethere every day ...
I say many thanks to all, and quiet, this project is finished but start new ones;)
I'm not saying that makes a picture a day or anything, I need a little break, but I have a few projects in mind for some time;)
Also I will upload pictures of this 365 days that you have not seen and have fallen by the wayside ...
And I hope soon to make a book with all the pictures, and some exposure, so I will bereporting.
Again, after this tirade, THANKS.
365 end ...

“The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.”
Well… here is a seven-image panorama that will probably get very little attention here on Flickr… it’s not as visually exciting as a sunrise (or sunset) Vertorama… and this particular subject has been shot so many times that it’s absolutely impossible to find an original composition!!
This is “Morant’s Curve”… made famous by Nicholas Morant… who was employed by the Canadian Pacific Railways as their “special photographer”. Over his 50 year career, Nicholas took many thousands of photos from all over Canada… not just of trains… but of anything else in Canadian Pacific's corporate field of endeavour. One of his favourite locations for taking photographs was the S-curve on the CPR main line just east of Lake Louise. He took so many photos at this site that it soon became known to railroaders on the CPR as “Morant's Curve”.
Our small group arrived at this location shortly after lunch… hoping to get some decent photos of the train as it passed. There was only one guy at the viewpoint when we arrived… a dedicated “train-spotter” from the UK… who admitted that he’d been waiting for at least 45 minutes without seeing any trains passing by! I chatted to him for a few minutes while I was setting up my camera and tripod… but he’d had enough of waiting… and pretty soon he gave up and drove off.
The one thing that is inevitable when a group of photographers are gathered around their tripods and taking photos of something… is that every single passing car will stop and look at what you are all shooting! Within ten minutes of our stopping here… we had attracted a fairly decent crowd… everyone with their cameras out… and hoping that we knew something that they didn’t. The most popular question that I was asked that day was… “do you know what time the next train will arrive?” LOL… we didn’t have a clue… we were trying to be as patient as possible… while sweating copiously in the hot midday sun (I can’t really speak for everyone else… but I was sweating like a pig)!!
I was really in panorama-mode that day… I’d only just figured out exactly how to assemble and calibrate my new (Panosaurus) panoramic head… and I was ready to finally put it to the test! But then it suddenly dawned on me… duh… how will I manage to take a panorama of a moving train?? Unless I manage to capture the entire train in one single frame… I’d never catch it in the same position in successive frames… so my pano would be ruined! This called for a change of plan… so I waited for some nice light… snapped the seven images for this pano (without the train)… and then packed away my pano-head again. So now I was focused on shooting this as a Vertorama… waiting for the train to enter the foreground for the first image… and then capturing the mountains and sky afterwards as the second image. After waiting for well over an hour... we finally heard the sound of an approaching train! We all jumped to attention, switched on our cameras… and waited for the perfect moment! I managed to get at least twenty shots of the train as it passed by… and then I quickly recomposed and shot the sky image too. Yeah… all that waiting paid off in the end… we finally got the shots that we were hoping to get!!
However… when I returned home from Canada and started processing my photos… I noticed that the light in the panorama that I’d shot earlier… looked very similar to the light that we had while the train was passing! I also noticed that the focal length of my panorama shots was exactly the same focal length that I’d used for my Vertorama images! That made me wonder whether it would be possible for me to cut the train out from the Vertorama image and paste it into the stitched panorama? As you can see… my plan worked a treat… everything fitted together perfectly!!
There are plenty of details in this panorama... I can really recommend viewing it large.

The visually monotonous Alexander's (renamed as Vidzemes, popularly called Matīsa) Market was opened in 1902. With one of the pavilions for the meat trade, which was the first and largest indoor market hall in Riga at that time, and the other hall for the sale of other products, the Alexander Market became the first market in the city with well-equipped pavilions at that time. The Alexander Market was the only market that allowed the sale of fresh meat all year round. The architect of the Alexander Market complex was the second city architect of Riga, Reinhold Schmaeling (1840-1917).

I was with my CWC friends at the Little Flower convent in chennai last year for their sports day. This school is for the Hearing and Visually Impaired.
Those children were unable to see through their eyes or hear through their ears but the did everything through their heart :) It was so inspiring to see these children participate in all the sports activities which the normal children would do. They had the willingness to compete, the enthusiasm, the happiness and everything more than the normal children.
They were definitely one step ahead!
I pray god to give them a great life!
This is NOT an effect done in Photoshop. I used the "zoom burst" technique to capture the sense of speed.
Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain, and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria. Every year thousands of people visit it to look, photograph, draw and wonder why and when and by whom it was built. The stone circle is on the level top of a low hill with views across to Skiddaw, Blencathra and Lonscale Fell.
I was hoping for a glorious morning, but i had lots of clouds around 5am in the morning and for a moment i thought that luck was not on my side. But seeing first light coming from the clouds i thought about doing long exposures, putting more drama in the fast moving clouds with this as result.
Enjoy...

The monolith that visually best sums up Cape Kiwanda and Pacific City. It’s iconic, but it shouldn’t be confused with the Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach to the north.
Often, as you approach Pacific City on 101 just before the junction to town, you can see this rock in the distance, appearing as if it floats in the air.
One story has it that the original name of the rock was Chief Kiawanda Rock, named after the head of the local tribe - actually called the Nestugga (as opposed to Nestucca, which stuck to various area landmarks).
The most visually striking building in the 200 block of E. Front St. is this Victorian Romanesque-style structure designed by Bloomington architect George Miller and completed in 1886. For seventy years the building was the home of the Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co.
Designed by Bloomington architect George H. Miller in Victorian Romanesque-style, the building was constructed for Civil War veteran Hamer J. Higgins. The name "H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works" is clearly visible above the center bay of second-story windows.317
Visually, I was pleased at how the lines of the most prominent iceberg followed the coastline from this point of view.
So, Neville's hobby is dancing. He goes to this dance without sight class, for visually impaired. They do great and have lotsa fun. Then, they got this 24hrTV gig - you know 24hrTV? It's seriously amazing charity fest that takes place every summer in japan, google it, it's so inspiring! Basically, it's all about people overcoming their disabilities and proving that dream can be archived at least at some extend even when you think it's not possible. And it's being hosted by almost every and each actor/singer/musician/artist japan has, every one helps and joins the fun in every way they can.
Anyway, Neville's class got invited to 24hrTV and Pandora Box got to supervise and help them (band playing music, obviously, Kokoro - dancing with them! :D ) and that was how Kokoro met Neville. And completely fell for him from the first sight :'D Poor thing, because Neville's heart is already elsewhere and not going back :')
but there will be more of onesided Kokoro/Neville in the future because drama!!!1
My favorite picture! I really think this is one of the best/ most visually interesting shots I was able to take in all my Europe travels. I love the mood here; it brings back so many memories of the trip. This moment is both tranquil and full of energy (still but brightly packed with color). Thanks for all your comments below, I really appreciate them!!

This ravine would be called a Chine if down south or on the Isle of Wight.
I do lots of kinds of photography that never show up on Flickr. There is actually quite a narrow range of types of photography that are generally appreciated here. Specialty or specialized stuff is not well received, So be it.
From time to time -- not so often -- I like to just show different things. This is a Quaker Oats switch engine, given a bit of processing treatment. Some like this sort of thing, many don't. I do.
This visually frenetic kitchen is another Armstrong linoleum ad. Published in 1948 in American Home magazine, it offers some of the design excesses that typify the Post WWII period. Still, even with too much rapid eye movement, there are lots of useful ideas for organizing 21st century kitchens.
entrance to a visually sumptuous staircase at the art gallery of ontario. i remember the day the gehry unveiled the prototypes to Toronto; I was in the audience for the media release. Frank explained how significant the building had been in his own life, and that his contribution to it was meant make the journey of investigating art represented in its new structure and gallery layouts.
The stair feature was both the first sign of this that would greet you as you enter the proscenium and "look up at this crazy stairway".
Years later, from this view in particular it makes give the sense of leaving one's existing horizons for new ideas or adventures.

Suffolk Sportscars is dedicated to production of the visually exact reproduction of the legendary Jaguar SS100. It is a true and pure Jaguar, fully recognised and accepted by all the Jaguar car clubs around the world.
The Jaguar SS100 was originally designed in 1935 by William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars Limited. You will find a history of the Jaguar SS100 within this section.
The Jaguar SS100 is one of the most important cars ever produced in England. It marked the high point of English sports car design before the start of World War 2. When the leading motoring writers of Europe selected their choice of the 100 most important cars of the 20th century, they included the legendary Jaguar SS100. As only 314 were ever made this is certainly an achievement. Every serious book about sports cars includes articles and photographs of the Jaguar SS100. This landmark car acted as the mainspring for the development of the remarkable lineage of post war Jaguar sports cars.
We have now made well over 200 of our Suffolk SS100 Jaguar reproductions and are well on our way to achieving my ambition to make as many as William Lyons. We hope that this website will give you the confidence in our products and that you may take the opportunity to come and visit us at Woodbridge. I can tell you that even after 20 years of making the SS100, I still get a smile and goosebumps whenever I'm ready to go for a drive. The overall shape and stying of the car is evocative of the golden age of great pre-war sports cars.
Now we combine all the superb visuality of the car with modern brakes, steering, power and safety to meet the demand of today's driver.
