This picture was taken on Highway 58 in Naha City on the Island of Okinawa, Japan. I tried to capture the spirit of the participants in this long running tradition. 200,000 people were expected at this years event and as you can see in the distance, the event was standing room only.

The new train station Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Germany)... Berlin Hauptbahnhof, or Berlin Central Station, is the main railway station in Berlin, Germany and the largest crossing station in Europe. It began full operation two days after a ceremonial opening on 26 May 2006. It is now Europe’s largest two-level railway station. It is located on the site of the historic Lehrter Bahnhof, and until it opened as a main line station, it was a stop on the Berlin S-Bahn suburban railway temporarily named Berlin Hauptbahnhof – Lehrter Bahnhof.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Came across this big fella whilst staying at the Orchid Caravan Park, Cooktown, Far North Queensland. 100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of “Giant Tree Frog” will be donated to “thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk” for the Cancer Council. Please check out Michael Mitchell’s Website: thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk Giant Tree Frog (Litoria infrafrenata) The world’s largest tree frog – can grow up to 14cm. This species has a horizontal pupil, large pads on the tips of its digits, partially webbed fingers and completely webbed toes. It is bright green above, changing to brown depending on the temperature and background, with a white stripe along the lower lip to the shoulder, and along the edge of the hindleg to the toes. It is whitish below. / It forages on wet and humid nights, often around houses, climbing smooth vertical surfaces using the gripping pads on its fingers and toes. After summer rainstorms males gather around ponds, often perching on trees, and set up a deafening chorus of barking calls to attract females. When distressed it makes a cat-like miaowing call. / Females lay some 430 eggs in summer in still water. The tadpoles metamorphose into froglets at about 2 months old. / Their diet mainly consists of insects and other arthropods. / Its habitat is from rainforests to seasonally dry monsoon woodlands.

This is the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, it is the largest steerable radio telescope in the world. It stands at 485 foot high, the dish’s diameter is 110 meters, it weighs a good 17 million pounds. / This is located in Green Bank, West Viriginia. The friend I stayed with has a friend who works at the observatory. He did get clearance to take us to the top!! Which they do not allow the public to be on it. Yep, I was at the top of this massive telescope!!! We rode two elevators to get there, my friend and I almost backed out going the rest of the way up as we looked thru a grated floor at the ground. Thanks to her friend ignoring our fears about being so high, basically coaxed us up further. I have no regrets about dealing with my respect of Serious heights and going up. Unfortunately I wasnt able to take my camera due to it being a digital camera that would interfere with the data the telescope retrieves. / The view I cant put into words of what it was like, words just wouldnt do it justice. It like to have driven me nuts not being able to capture this with photos. / The autumn colors were in full force, the sky a beautiful blue with white clouds hovering over us and the other telescopes they have on the land. I will upload day shots of this later. / My friend was a trooper getting up at 5am, for me to get this telescope with a full moon lingering over it. / If interested in learning more about this massive telescope, just check out Green Bank Telescope / There are a few other links about the other telescopes and this one. / And yep yep, the color Finally came back to my knuckles after we got back on solid ground! :) Shot this in Manual mode on bulb setting with ISO of 800, f-stop at 11 / Best if viewed larger

This image was taken on the Berry College campus in Rome, Georgia. The Berry campus is the largest campus in the world at nearly 30,000 acres. It consists of fields and forest and mountains lands which have designated portions open to the public for hiking, cycling, horse back riding, and other outdoor activities. The large deer population is reputed to outnumber the students by eight to one! About half the campus is a wildlife refuge where no hunting is allowed. The other half (almost 16,000 acres) is managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources where hunts are managed in an attempt to control the deer population and provide recreational opportunities within department regulations. With a permit fishing is allowed on some of the campus lakes and streams. Other wildlife often seen on campus are wild turkeys, seasonal ducks and geese, skunks, and squirrels.

It is mottled light blue on the wings and has brown bars on the tail. Family members live in the same territory year-round and reinforce the boundaries at the beginning of the breeding season, calling together and awaiting the response of neighbours. Young stay with their parents for up to 4 years helping to the offspring. They hunt from a perch, staring at the ground and fluttering down to catch prey. They breed from September to January and lay 1-4 eggs in a nest in a tree hollow or termite mound. The female and family helpers incubate the eggs and care for the young who fledge in about 5 weeks. Their call is raucous laughing and their diet consists of reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and other invertebrates. They inhabit Sclerophyll forests, woodlands and parks.

www.glennalderson.com Location : Monarto zoo, South Australia ~ December 27th 2008 General Information / Monarto started off in 1983 as a closed special purpose breeding area. It is now an International standard conservation, national and zoological bio-park that supports education and public recreation. Monarto Zoo is operated by the Royal Zoological Society of South Australia which has developed over 1,000 hectares of fauna and flora sanctuary and open range zoological park. Five major habitat exhibits have been developed, including the Asian Steppes, arid North Africa, African plains and Asian grasslands, as the first stage of development at Monarto. The second stage currently being implemented includes habitats for the Cheetah, African Dog, African Lion and Black Rhino. Monarto Zoo now has the largest herd of giraffes in Australia. Giraffes from this herd are transported to Adelaide Zoo for a time, before eventually returning to Monarto Zoo. Interesting information / Giraffe can run at speeds up to 50kph. / Although generally quiet, giraffes have been heard to grunt, snort and bleat. / ~Fights with other giraffes involve neck wrestling and head banging; defence against predators is characterised by striking out with the forefeet. Males have extra bone deposits on their skulls for fighting.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Eastern Water Dragon (Physignathus lesueurii) Class: Reptilia Family: Agamidae World-wide, around 350 species are recognised currently in the family Agamidae. Of these, 72 species in 14 genera occur in Australia. Australian agamids are small to moderate-sized lizards. The Water Dragon is Australia’s largest agamid lizard. Water Dragons belong to the genus Physignathus. This genus has only two species world-wide. The eastern water dragon grows to around 80-90cm in length, much of which is tail. Their colour consists of shades of grey or brown with a series of black bands on the back and tail and a black stripe on the side of the head behind the eye. The underside is creamy-white, although males may have a vivid red on some or most of the belly and chest. There are enlarged scales forming a crest down the middle of the head, back and tail. The legs are relatively long and powerful and the strong tail is flattened on the sides to assist with swimming.

General Sherman is the name of a Giant Sequoia with a height of 275 feet (83.8 metres). As of 2002, the volume of its trunk measured about 1487 cubic meters, making it the largest non-clonal tree by volume. The tree is located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States, east of Visalia, California. The tree is believed to be between 2,300 and 2,700 years old. In 1879, it was named after American Civil War general, William Tecumseh Sherman, by naturalist James Wolverton, who had served as a lieutenant in the 9th Indiana Cavalry under Sherman. The tree was identified as the largest, in a 1931 dispute involving the nearby General Grant tree, after which wood-volume was the widely accepted determining-factor. In January 2006 the largest branch on the tree (seen most commonly, in older photos, as an “L” or golf-club shape, protruding from about 1/4th down the trunk) broke off. There were no witnesses to the incident, but the branch—bigger around than the trunks of most trees, with a diameter of over 2 m (6 feet) and a length of over 30 m (100 feet)—smashed part of its enclosing fence and cratered the pavement of the walkway surrounding the sequoia. The breakage, however, is not believed to be indicative of any abnormalities with the tree’s health, and may even be a natural defense-mechanism against adverse weather conditions. The branch loss did not change the General Sherman’s status as the largest tree, as its size has been calculated using measurements of trunk volume, excluding branches. /

One evening few years ago I was walking at the Kings Cross suburb of Sydney. It was already dark, but a high-rise building above me did not have a single light in any of its 350 rooms. It was a somewhat scary to stand by this huge abandoned giant in a centre of the city. The sign on the top read “Millennium Hotel”. My mind started to picture apocalyptic stories about what might have happened to it in few years past the new millennium. I didn’t know that time that it was closed for the complete renovation. And here we go, $98m and few years later building is transformed into modern 37-storey Zenith Apartments tower. What a stunning view over the city it must be from its roof top. P.S. The Coca Cola Billboard is a character itself being the heritage-listed and largest billboard in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a vertical panorama or a vertorama as it is called sometimes. I took 2 sets of 3 AEB shots from a tripod (one centering on the Coke sign and another one for the top of the building). Those were later combined into a single HDR (4129×4720) and then tonemapped.

WILLAMETTE MISSION STATE PARK (Brooks, Oregon, USA) Willamette Mission is one of the most significant and beautiful historic sites in the Willamette Valley. The park occupies land where the first mission for American Indians was founded in 1834 by the Reverend Jason Lee. Members of the Methodist Mission were later active in the formation of Oregon government. A monument is located in the park providing information on this settlement. The original mission buildings are represented by framed outlines called ghost structures. A landing for the Wheatland Ferry - the first to carry the covered wagon across the Willamette River in 1844 - is in the park. The park offers many daytime opportunities for boaters, anglers and other users. Some of Willamette Mission’s 1,680 acres hold filbert and walnut orchards. The nation’s largest black cottonwood is in the park (it’s older than the U.S. —it’s been around for over 250 years). There are grassy meadows surrounded by an array of flowers, plants, and trees. For those that enjoy water, there’s Mission Lake and the Willamette River.
