Reflections of Morn - Newport Beach,Sydney - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson
WARNING WIDE LOAD- BEST VIEWED LARGER My neighbourhood, my sunrise, my inspiration. / Newport Beach I awoke looked out the window to see a glint of colour. Will i get out of bed , or roll over and go back to sleep ? Guess what decision won? Newport Beach is one of the many beaches, north of the city within a short drive. Everyone goes to Bondi that is crowded. Why not head north to pristine beaches, no crowds, and watch the sun rise and set. A good seafood meal, some chilled chardonnay or a beer. Sorry nothern hemisphere bubblers it’s officially Summer downunder, so we have to put up with mornings like this for the next few months. Yes I know it’s hard but somebody has to do it !

White-Hot Sun In A Blood-Red Sky by David McMahon
This shot of a vivid sunset was shot across a valley in south-eastern Victoria in 2007. Apart from the strong colours of the sky, I was fascinated by the gradation of colour across the hills. I shot more than a dozen frames with different focal lengths, but this one captures the strongest red, which is also an interesting contrast against the zigzag shapes of the towering pylon. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm.

The difference with the Golden palm and the Green Coconut palm is the color of the fruit. The Golden Malayan having a gold coloured fruit. The Coconut Palm is the most universally known palm tree. It is the first thing most people think of when the words “palm tree” are spoken. With good reason too, the coconut palm is found throughout tropical regions around the world, though it originates in the south pacific and Caribbean. Information Source: The Golden Malayan Coconut Palm Moku Coconut Palm Frond Weaving “This beautiful palm embodies the romance of the tropics and is also of great economic value. There are many varieties, from dwarfs to the familiar tall growing types that reach 50-80 ft. All have graceful gray trunks topped by a crown of pinnately compound yellow-green leaves. Each leaf is 12-15 ft long with many leaflets. This is an extremely important plant, including . It appears that Coconut Palms were introduced throughout the Tropics and the Hawaiian islands by ancient Polynesians. Coconut fibers were used to make twine by Ancient Hawaiians. The Hawaiians evidently grew two types of coconut. One was best for making rope and the other was best for consumption. The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the Family Arecaceae. Coconut trees are palms that grow up to 90 feet high grow throughout the tropics. , they Their trunks are ringed with scars where old leaves have fallen. The top of the trunk is crowned with a rosette of leaves. Leaves are feather-shaped and split into lots of leaflets. Long leaves can grow up to 20 feet long and can have 250 leaflets. They are used for matting, weaving and thatching. Flowers – male and female flowers grow on the same plants on flowering branches. Flowers are pale yellow and are about 1 cm long. The base of flowering branches are tapped for sap. Coconut fruits are oval and covered with a smooth skin which can be bright green, brilliant orange or ivory coloured. Underneath this skin is a thick fibrous layer which is used for coir. The next layer is the shell of the seed with the three characteristic ‘eyes’. The shell may be used to make charcoal and eating utensils. The inside of the shell is lined with a white, edible layer called the meat. This is also made into chemical, industrial and medicinal products. The fluid inside the seed cavity is known as coconut water (not milk). When seeds germinate, the new shoot sprouts from one of the eyes. The coconut is the only species in the genus Cocos. In India it has been called the ‘tree of heaven’ or ‘kalpavriksha‘. Coconut palms are known as the ‘Tree of Life’ because of their huge variety of uses. The large spirally arranged leaves are up to 12 feet or more in length, and are pinnately divided into numerous strap shaped segments. The separate male and female flowers are in axillary panicles. The male flowers have 3 yellow petals and 2 stamens. The ovoid coconut is up to a foot long, and is composed of a thick fibrous husk, a hard shell, and a single seed with the copra lining the interior, and water (coconut milk) filling the cavity when it is young. Coconut palms have two natural subgroups simply referred to as “Tall” and “Dwarf”. Most commercial plantings use high yielding, longer lived Tall cultivars, and each region has its own selections, e.g., ‘Ceylon Tall’, Indian Tall’, ‘Jamaica Tall’ (syn. ‘Atlantic Tall’), ‘Panama Tall’ (syn. ‘Pacific Tall’). The Tall cultivar group is sometimes given the name Cocos nucifera var. typica, and the dwarf cultivar group C. nucifera var. nana. Samoan Coconut Trees are in this dwarf group. Dwarf cultivars, particularly the popular ornamentals, are largely self-pollinating as opposed to the Tall cultivars of commerce which rarely pollinate themselves. Coconuts are large, dry drupes, ovoid in shape, up to 15” long and 12” wide. The exocarp or skin is green, yellow, or bronze-gold, turning to brown, depending on cultivar and maturity. The mesocarp is fibrous and dry at maturity; the product coir is derived from this layer. The endocarp is the hard shell enclosing the seed. Seeds are the largest of any plant, and have a thin brown seed coat. Seeds are filled with endosperm, which is solid and adherent to the seed coat, and also in liquid form, called “milk”. Copra is derived from the solid endosperm Coconut is a pan-tropical species usually found in humid coastal areas between latitudes 26 degrees north and south. The origin of this plant is uncertain, but many experts believe it’s from the west Pacific and Indian Ocean islands.” /

Crown, St Nicholas Church, Fleetwood by Jason Connolly
Instead of going to the Rainy Lake district, our bubblemeet with Gary Kenyon and Darren Kitchen. was a local one around some of the local churches in our area of Lancashire, England / Info from here / The parish church of St Nicholas, Fleetwood, stands at the junction of Broadway and Highbury Avenue. It is the third church dedicated to St Nicholas in the town. The first, a mission church built near the tram tracks, was washed away in the floods of 1927. Part of the second survives next to the present church as the scout hut. The foundation stone of the present building was laid in 1960 and the church dedicated for public worship in 1962. It was designed by the eminent church architect Laurence King to reflect the seafaring aspects of the town and patron saint, and to be suitable for Anglo-Catholic worship. Inside the building resembles the upturned keel of a boat with large roof timbers and unusual brick arches. Among the fittings and fixtures in the church designed by the architect are large painted wooden figures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Nicholas on either side of the chancel arch and a Christux Rex in the Lady Chapel. The grey colour of the limed oak woodwork is supplemented by blue and gold in the nave sanctuary and red and gold in the Lady Chapel sanctuary. Although unfinished, the church is an outstanding example of 20th century church architecture. / Shot with a Nikon D300 and Sigma 10-20mm lens / f18 / 0.8 sec
