They really make you feel like you're in a space ship (at times I had butterflies in my tummy), the facts related are interesting, and they blended the Hubble photographs creatively into their virtual universe.

The paint scheme made it easy for the bombers to find it up in the sky. From what I gather, the weather in England was frequently overcast. When the bombers took off they had to climb above the clouds alone. Once they were above the clouds, the assembly ship provided an easily identifiable visual reference for assembling the bomber group. Once the formation was complete the group leader would take over to lead the mission and the polka-dot plane would return to base.

PESO - Barn Swallow Among the Reeds
I think this a bit sharper than the last barn swallow I showed. These guys are harder to catch than tree swallows, they rarely perch when they're out of their colony (or wherever they live; they seem to have a communal living area under a wooden lookout structure). Once in a rare while I'll see one or two of them hanging around among the reeds that almost cover the entrance to their dwelling: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/06/barn-swallow-among-reeds.html?m=1 As summer progresses those reeds are becoming more profuse and just flying in and out of their dwelling requires fairly acrobatic maneuvering. Apparently they never alight on the ground as their little claws are curved; their entire lives are spent either perched or flying. Your swallow trivia for the day! :-) Hope you enjoy. Comments always welcome.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Wow. Pay to use beaches? More commodification of what used to be considered common areas. In Nova Scotia, where my parents are from, beaches are common areas, as is access to them. Community easements have existed for hundreds of years. Now people from other areas (meaning other countries as well as other parts of Canada) are snatching up relatively cheap seaside land and building huge vacation houses. Then they put up fences and "no trespassing" signs preventing locals from using traditional pathways to the shore. I'm sure they could go to court to have these easements recognized but who can afford that?

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Of course the beaches in Nova Scotia are free. The water is so cold that they have to pay people to wade into the surf. There are free beaches is Jersey, like Atlantic City, Wildwood and the federal and state parks. Many smaller towns sell beach badges as a means of paying for boardwalks, concert halls, sand restoration, beach clean-up and life guards. Th sand below the mean high water line is controlled by the state, in trust for the people. That means one can walk on any beach, along the water line. Beach badges are required for many municipal funded beaches only for sitting and sunning on the beach, and for entry through the municipal access points. There is a lot of sentiment for requiring towns that are taking state and federal money to repair Sandy damage to open their beaches to everyone, without charge.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Yeah, the water on "mainland" Nova Scotia is pretty cold. You get used to it, so the locals say, but I never did. I'm told the beaches on the Atlantic side of Cape Breton are quite warm as the Gulfstream hits it before turning east towards Europe. I've never been to Cape Breton so have no personal experience. My little tirade was not directed toward New Jersey ~per se~ but toward the rampant privatization of what has traditionally been common areas. It's happening everywhere. I'm glad that the beaches from high water down to the water are still common areas, but if all ingress and egress is private and tightly controlled then it's rather moot isn't it? Sure you can walk along from adjoining beaches but restrictions make that more onerous and eventually all such access to those beaches from land will disappear. And that will be a great shame IMHO.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Lee and I visited Cape Breton a few years ago. It was quite scenic, and very thinly populated. The only "local" we met was the owner of a gas station and general store; He was a Jersey boy who moved there a few year earlier. We drove the Cabot trail, and stopped at most of the scenic overlooks. The "trail" was plastered with signs advising the location of the Wi-Fi hot spots. The best aspect of Cape Breton is the Celtic culture. We attended two ceilidhs in Baddeck; both were excellent, with music and dance that matched or surpassed any Celtic performance I've seen in Ireland, Wales or Scotland. In fact, I'm quite certain that there is a higher percentage of Gaelic speakers in Nova Scotia than anywhere in the British Isle, except perhaps Dingle.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
From: "knarftheriault Wow. Pay to use beaches? More commodification of what used to be considered common areas. In Nova Scotia, where my parents are from, beaches are common areas, as is access to them. Community easements have existed for hundreds of years. Now people from other areas (meaning other countries as well as other parts of Canada) are snatching up relatively cheap seaside land and building huge vacation houses. Then they put up fences and "no trespassing" signs preventing locals from using traditional pathways to the shore. I'm sure they could go to court to have these easements recognized but who can afford that? Another sigh (second today). cheers, frank It's sort of happening on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Except that NC law doesn't permit the homeowner to close off beach access. There are some places where private beach access is curtailed, but that's because they've been replaced by Public Access points. The state & municipalities have done a fair job of ensuring there is some public parking for beach goers. It ain't always cheap. But, at least we have Cape Hatteras National Seashore & the like where the parking is free (camping costs a nominal fee $20 - $25/night) Hammocks Beach State Park has free primitive campsites, but the ferry costs $5 round trip (no vehicles, carts or wagons allowed, wheelchairs & strollers OK). Parking is free & if you have your own canoe/kayak you don't need to ride the ferry. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Strips of 3 to 6 are in glassine sleeves bound in two books designed for the purpose of preserving negatives. Contact prints are taped to each sleeve designating the contents. The labels here are as shown in these notes. The first three pages of each book is an index with identification of each strip of negative, most with notations of f-stop and shutter speed, filters and light conditions. They were apparently taken in England. Many of the shots are of military aircraft, some crashed. There are a few shots of London Sights and a few shots of personnel. Though the camera man took careful notes on subject, lighting f-stop and shutter speed, there are no dates. There are a few shots of London mixed with shots of the base so it can be guessed that the photographer was stationed in the south of England. Some air experts will recognize the planes and serial numbers and the base will eventually be identified, I’m sure. To review all of these in a slightly faster method, there is a double slide show on the LOST GALLERY page. I have added the three actual index pages as entered by the photographer in case I missed something. All photographs are the property of Lost Gallery.

RE: the Adler and the Blackhawks
Wonderful gallery! cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Christine Aguila Sent: June 29, 2013 6/29/13 To: PDML List Subject: the Adler and the Blackhawks Hi Everyone: What a day we had. Akira & I had planned a visit to the Adler Planetarium Friday--the same day as the Blackhawks parade. We took the Brown line into downtown to catch the 146 bus to the Museum Campus on the lakefront. We waited and waited for the bus, but it never showed, so we decided to hoof-it and caught some snaps along the way. It's a bit of a trek from State and Van Buren to Roosevelt road and the lakefront--especially navigating through large crowds and a strong summer sun. Then while walking along a curb, the wheel of a street cleaning truck caught a can of some sugary drink and splashed both Akira and me. I was ready to throw in the towel right then and there, but we braved on, laughed it off, and finally made it to the Adler Planetarium. It was a lovely outing with my littlest nephew, who will turn 13 next Sunday. He is so clearly not a little boy anymore. He's one inch taller than me!!! These are just random snaps. The truth is Akira and I gabbed and giggled all day making photography a bit of an after thought, but I got 12 decent shots and I thought I'd share. Not sure which one will be my PAW this week--maybe I'll go out and shoot tomorrow for something different.

The fans have been following me around - I saw the game against the Barbarians in Hong Kong when most of the streets and the stadium seemed to be packed with Lions fans, then when I got back to Brisbane they filled the streets again ready for their Saturday night game three weeks ago!

In Hong Kong, on a very hot and humid night, some of the Lions fans got down to Speedos only... Those with good bodies were very popular with the Chinese ladies.

Hehehe... Rugby union. The Lions are a combined Welsh and British team, and the Wallabies are Australia's finest. Theyre (almost) too civilized to actually fight, but biffo does happen occasionally. Some marketing "genius" came up with the idea of giving plastic pith helmets to wallabies supporters, to reflect the idea of the m "lion hunting".

Re: PAW182 - Boat
My guess as well, although I couldn't tell you what kind of leaf the sail is. The reflected clouds make it look like it's floating on the sky. From: Ann Sanfedele My guess, It's a toy boat.. I think the sail is a "jack-in-the-pulpit" flower and leaf - maybe in a puddle? That's what I'm guessing - Dag may or may not be willing to confirm or deny :-) fun ann On 6/30/2013 19:22, Daniel J.
