I checked up on the Ospreys this morning...they've got two chicks (maybe 3).....I'll keep you posted. I'm so happy that all is well with them, as we've had so much rain. I saw both parents coming & going & watched them feed the chicks. According to our weatherman we had upwards of 11 inches of rain in the month of June.

Ærøskøbing Bottle Peter Museum

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:45:03 GMT

From the Rick Steve's Travel website:

"Few visitors to Scandinavia even notice Ærø, a sleepy, 6-by-22-mile island on the south edge of Denmark. Ærø has a salty charm. Its tombstones are carved with such sentiments as: "Here lies Christian Hansen at anchor with his wife. He'll not weigh until he stands before God." It's a peaceful and homey island, where baskets of new potatoes sit in front of farmhouses — for sale on the honor system.

"Ærø's capital, Ærøskøbing, makes a fine home base. Temple Fielding said it's "one of five places in the world that you must see." Many Danes agree, washing up the cobbled main drag in waves with the landing of each ferry. In fact, this is the only town in Denmark that is entirely protected and preserved by law.

"Ærøskøbing is a town-in-a-bottle kind of place. Wander down lanes right out of the 1680s, when the town was the wealthy home port to more than 100 windjammers. The post office dates to 1749, and cast-iron gaslights still shine each evening. Windjammers gone, the harbor now caters to German and Danish holiday yachts. On midnight low tides you can almost hear the crabs playing cards.

"The Hammerich House, full of old junk, is a 1900s garage sale open to visitors. The "Bottle Peter" museum on Smedegade is a fascinating house with a fleet of 750 different bottled ships. Old Peter Jacobsen died in 1960 (probably buried in a glass bottle), leaving a lifetime of his tedious little creations for visitors to squint and marvel at."

A small house in Ærøskøbing contains the "Bottle Peter Museum". It has 750 different bottled ships. Old Peter Jacobsen, who made his first bottle at 16 and his last at 85, bragged that he drank the contents of each bottle, except those that contained milk (from Rick Steve's "Scandinavia 2004").

"Barn"

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:53:09 GMT

West Iceland has many communities, varying in character. Rural areas depend on farming of different types, while coastal villages prosper through fisheries. In combination with these basic economic sectors, trade, industry and the services play an important role, with some villages living almost exclusively on service to nearby farming communities. Society is influenced by the type of work practised, which lends each town a personality of its own. In the same way, the nature of this region is full of contrasts: deep fjords, sky-high mountains, stretches of barren gravel and rock, green hayfields, woodlands, sandy beaches, lines of cliffs, grassy islands, blue lakes and clear rivers. Beauty is everywhere, and at most spots absolute peace. Travellers in West Iceland will find no lack of sights, relaxation, entertainment or outdoor activities to choose from. Examples of the offerings include swimming, golf, hikes, tours on horseback, watching birds or observing nature, salmon and trout fishing, and boat rides to islands, to mention just a few possibilities.

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:38:11 GMT

Back from Tirol after a disastrous trip! The weather was ghastly, rain every day and news of floods, landslides and roads being washed away in eastern Austria. Added to this I injured my back when a taxi I was in hit a really large pothole and threw me around without warning. Now I am nursing my injured back once again and resorting to large doses of painkillers!! Serves me right for boasting about my progress!

This image grabbed during a taxi trip to Hirschbichler Alm on the Zillertaler Hohenstrasse. You may remember a similar post a couple of years ago taken under more favourable conditions - but I quite like the atmosphere here, it reminds me of how it really was! (And I managed the climb up to the Chapel - but that was before I injured my back once again!).

The whole island has a sleepy, old time feeling to it. It once was a main port in the clipper ship era, and many clipper ship captains had their home there. It has been preserved by law with no modern buildings allowed. A delight to visit as one eases into yesteryear.

Just came from a weekend phototrip and I went to the west side of the country.

Moutain Kambur and Reykjafjörður on picture is a short and wide fjord in northern Strandir and really beautiful in the bottom of the fjord is Djúpavík former fishing centre particularly important for herring processing in the 1930s and later, until the stock vanished and operations were abandoned. To day there is a museum there and a nice hotel and really relaxing plays to stay.

Legendary fishing centre is at the mouth of fjord, Gjögur almost depopulated around 1959. The buildings have been well taken care of and the harbor. To day it is a summer habitation.

Gjögur is renowned for its heroic open-boat shark fishermen; 15-18 boats at a time would brave the elements to catch shark for liver oil and its meat, which was cured.

Ærøskøbing

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:40:02 GMT

Our last three days in Denmark were spent on the delightful island of Ærø. This is in the capitol, Ærøskøbing.

From Rick Stev's guidebook "Scandinavia":

"The Island of Ærø on the south edge of Denmark is as salty and sleepy as can be. A typical tombstone reads: Here lies Christian hansen at anchor with his wife. He'll not weigh ancho until he stands before god. It's the kind of island where baskets of strawberries sit in front of houses for sale on the honor system. Ærøskøbing is Ærø's town in a bottle."

*passion flower*...

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:07:46 GMT

Popularly, passionflowers and especially passionfruit are frequently used with sexual or romantic innuendo, giving rise to such uses as a one-time soft drink named Purple Passion. The "Passion" in "passion flower" does not refer to sex and love however, but to the passion of Jesus Christ. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Spanish Christian missionaries adopted the unique physical structures of this plant, particularly the numbers of its various flower parts, as symbols of the last days of Jesus Christ and especially the Crucifixion:
The pointed tips of the leaves were taken to represent the Holy Lance.
The tendrils represent the whips used in the Flagellation of Christ.
The ten petals and sepals represent the ten faithful apostles (less St. Peter the denier and Judas Iscariot the betrayer).
The flower's radial filaments, which can number more than a hundred and vary from flower to flower, represent the Crown of Thorns.
The chalice-shaped ovary with its receptacle represents a hammer or the Holy Grail
The 3 stigmata represent the 3 nails and the 5 anthers below them the 5 wounds (four by the nails and one by the lance).
The blue and white colors of many species' flowers represent Heaven and Purity.

Witness To The Past

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:30:28 GMT

I recall when the family across built their home in the early 1900s. I also recall when next door had their first child in the 1920s. I also witnessed the child grow, get married, have children of his own and lastly also witnessed his passing.
I have also witnessed the construction of family abodes, as well their eventual deterioration and ultimate demise. Also, I have witnessed eons of seasons of blistering heat and bone chilling cold. And now, soon, I too must go the way of all that I have witnessed.

Flame Tree Series #1 Redux

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 09:20:10 GMT

A re-processing of an image that I posted on April 14th. I wanted to see if a new Photoshop plugin gave the image more depth and separation.

The image is a time exposure of fire light reflecting off of a tree and sparks in the foreground.

NOT PS WORK OR ANY EDITING IN THIS PIC.
Inspired in the pic of John Miller ;)
This is a standard party balloon full of water, that my wife hang with one hand in front a black fabric and my sister at the count of 3 puncture with a needle.
Incredibly this we made this pic at the first attempt, in single shot, not burst, at night using my little flash Canon TTL speedlite 220 EX that works like a Giant.
