The villains in Game of Thrones have real rivals in Medieval Ireland!
http://timetravelireland.blogspot.ie/2013/06/rindoon-deserted-medieval-town-county.html
This picture shows the remains of the Norman Castle at Rindoon, Co. Roscommon.
Rindoon Castle is thought to date to 1227 and was constructed by Geoffrey de Marisco. It appears that Geoffrey de Marisco was a villain on a Game of Thrones level of nastiness. He was Justiciar of Ireland between 1215 and 1228, and took full advantage of the young King Henry III by being as corrupt in his dealings in Ireland as possible. He amassed huge swathes of land and a fortune by seizing goods, lands and taxes in the Kings name and then keeping the rewards for himself. He was eventually dismissed from office in 1228. He was even excommunicated for misappropriating funds from the Church (the money was just resting in ye olde account... more »

More Game of Thrones artwork - this time by Michael Komarck
http://www.komarckart.com/
After Episode 9, The Rains of Castamere of season 3, I decided instead of my usual read 1 book that went with the season, that I'd just read on. So I'm into A Dance with Dragons now, I should finish in the next day or so.
I think Martin did a fine job on world building - I can see the inspirations and what he borrowed from, but this comes from just being a student of history. If you're not then I imagine it seems quite wonderful and original. It isn't (sorry) but it's still a good job.
What he can do is write a ripping soap opera set in a cool epic fantasy setting. Because that is really all Game of Thrones is. There are sub plots for individual characters that have much better substance and arc but this is why it's such a magnificent TV show... more »

Ted Nasmith's 2011 Calendar for A Song of Ice and Fire
11 beautiful images of the places we love in A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin. My particular favorites are Casterly Rock, Winterfell and The Eyrie -- he's very good at landscapes.
I left out The Twins because FUCK THE FREYS okay? Amirite?
http://tednasmith.com
P.S. Sorry if you have seen these before - since I've read the books (post to come about that, oh boy is there) I don't need to keep a lockdown on the story anymore. Oh hashtags: #got #gameofthrones

My grandmother was tall :) 5'11" (180 cm) and played Basketball for her school. I don't remember her talking about being Champs in 1934 - but here it is nonetheless! She is 15 here - the girl that's not looking at the Camera or the photographer.
She actually had a few of these in successive years, it seems that they were quite good :) I love the shoes!
Looking at this reminds of the scene in Dead Poet's Society where he brings out the boys to stare at all the old athletic team photos and whispers for them to Carpe Diem -- we take this for granted now, but that film really started what has eventually devolved into YOLO. Oh... that makes me sad, in a way.
For what it's worth, my children who are of the YOLO generation always knew it was originally Carpe Diem and never fell to the silly. I still roll my eyes when I... more »

Remember when the +1 button was blue? 8)
I know everyone doesn't read everything - but the people who do is who I am really talking to. I haven't covered this before but I've been wanting to talk about it for awhile actually!
I really just want to say that I do things a bit differently on my Google+ and that's fine with me. I don't follow any prescribed notions about the Internet and How You Use It™ because as far as I'm concerned, it's a tool for me to use how I please.
Anyway - this is really just a little note to all the people who deign to comment on my posts. How do I use the +1 button?
I have said for a long time now that I read every comment I get, on every post I've ever made. I really do. I never post and forget. To me, that is abominable behavior and I will not do it. It's so... stuck up and that'... more »

1931 - Parker's Beach. That's all that is written for this photo. I think it was friends that sent it to my grandmother. I'm not sure actually.
I love the cars and the clothes in the picture. I don' t know who any of the people are at all unfortunately as my grandmother didn't write it down.
For the "Read More" people:
For the past two years I've used Google+ almost daily and I've come to the conclusion that there aren't that many active users who post and engage on other people's posts. Don't you notice it? It's the same people, bopping around the same people's posts. It's like a big party, but it's really not that big. Admittedly I only circle about 600~ people (last I looked) and a lot of those are people that have been here since the very beginning. But it doesn't seem like much fresh blood is... more »

I don't have a lot of time today unfortunately but I wanted to throw something up. I sort of can't believe my grandmother wrote on this photo but she did. It's one of the only ones she did. It's a picture of her, she's the baby on the bottom right and her brother in the center.
I'm adding it to the album not for any particular beauty or anything, it's just the oldest one I have, dated at 1920. :)

I don't do a lot of photography of people. I'm not really sure why but I think it's because I'm just not that comfortable with making other people comfortable. LOL :) I never know what to say.
This is my daughter - who is 16 and suffers from that malaise that all 16 year olds suffer from; she thinks she's deficient in some way. Also, being quite perfectly 16, she won't listen to me when I tell her how beautiful she is. But not just her beauty - all her other amazing qualities. How she is kind, and gentle and sweet - while also being fiery and spunky, full of charm and wit. Oh, how bitingly witty she is. She has sass in nines and can make me laugh out loud with guffaws. She's awesome in every way. I just wish she could see herself as I do.

I'm a California girl - born and raised in Silicon Valley. I moved to the South back in 1995, so it's been almost 20 years here. There are things that I have embraced and now treasure about the American south and I have to tell you, I am proud that I've raised my children here.
My husband is from a small town here in North Carolina and he's the most decent, good, loving, wonderful person I've ever known, so say what you will, but in my heart and mind, the South can produce good people. Besides, my children are born and raised here. They don't have an accent (but can all do one, exceptionally well, haha!) but they are Southern to the bone.
I love Grits, oh my god, love them. Cheese grits, bacon grits, shrimp grits. Grits with gravy, grits with butter, even grits with coffee. It's one of the best foods ever! *But my absolute favorite has to be North... more »

I almost don't even know what to write here - except North Carolina haha! Oh man, I wish I was a bit braver taking photos of people just on the street. There were a lot of interesting characters in Lincolnton this afternoon. We rode up to the Kansas City BBQ competition that's held in Lincolnton every year called Hog Happenin and let me tell you, NC is serious about their BBQ.
We found some delicious Q and wandered around amongst good ol' country people. Republicans, maybe, but we don't need to talk politics while eating some good Q. I always feel like I fit right in, until I speak. I never did pick up a southern accent ;)

In my cleaning (well, moving stuff around) of the closet last night, I found some old photo albums that I didn't realize I had, or had forgotten I had. My father sent them to me -- I'm the new "archivist" even if I forgot I had them - they are safe in plastic bins at any rate. Haha! Besides, I think I hide stuff away so I can have the fun of "finding" them again.
I love everything about this photo. There was no date on it but I'm fairly certain it's from the early 20th century, possibly 1920-ish. My grandmother had so many photos that I'm thinking even for farmers they were quite well off. She never really said as much (she loved, instead, to wax on about living during the depression) but there is no way they were that broke spending all that money on developing film. Hah!
Anyway, this is my great grandfather on his farm.

It's Friday - so that means I have to post a flower. For #floralfriday of course! But really it's the only flower photo I've got on hand. Have zero idea what kind of flower this is! They sure make good subjects. They just sit there and patiently wait while I adjust the tripod and focus where I will. I don't have to talk to them and make them feel comfortable or ask them to smile, they seem to do this all on their own accord as if they were born to it. Which of course I think they were :)
Have a fantastic Friday everyone!

I saved this photo and the story behind it for last - because when we were there, we had no idea it was so huge in local legend. This is really great :)
This is Booger Holler Bridge (I am not even making that up, I took a snap of the road name) and it's apparently haunted and the site of two horrible tragedies from centuries past.
The original story is about a man and his son whose horse and buggy were swept off the bridge in a flash flood. When the man came to he could not find his son. He searched the waters unsuccessfully until he ended up drowning too. The rumor is that if you park your car on the bridge and turn it off and hear a scream, you will not be able to start your car back up right away.
There is another story about a 'witch' being hanged on a nearby tree over the water and if you stop at night you can see her and/or she&#... more »

Wildflowers in the piedmont of NC
I have to go to the dentist today. Just for a cleaning and for them to tell me I need to have fillings re-filled, which of course I don't want to do. I've avoided it for over a year. I'm not a fan of procedures of any kind. I also have a guy coming over today to collect a dead squirrel from my attic. Oh, the prosaic life in the suburbs. My banal existence must be fascinating to you all. /snore.
Luckily my summer holidays are all coming up soon-ish. Much more fun times ahead.

Wheat Fields, somewhere in NC.
Just a couple observations this morning.
The world moves on. Don't let anyone lay guilt on you for not posting/thinking/talking about what is happening in Turkey (or really, pick a location. Pick anywhere in the world, because there is injustice everywhere you look, sometimes even in your own backyard). It isn't always apathy, sometimes it's just ennui. Sometimes it's a feeling of impotence to do anything. I think it's pretty low to shame anyone about what they want to post about. My estimation of people who do this drops quite a bit when I see it happening in social media. My estimation of someone means shit all to anyone but myself - but nonetheless, it's what happens when I see it. I've been witnessing it since "Occupy" and the large amounts of butthurt that occurs when people don't bandwagon is frighte... more »

My favorite show on TV right now. Actually my favorite period.
Game of Thrones on in 10 minutes!!!
You must be Ned Stark's bastard.

One of my faves, "You know nuthin' Jon Snow." He is learning to be a hero, to wisen up. To grow up. I like how much the characters change. He's a good guy with a good heart. He will probably not make it.

One of these days I'll have the gumption to get a little closer perhaps - but I know my photographer's rules. Taking photos of private property from public land is legal. Clambering onto private property, though, is a no-no. So that's not for me. So yeah, this is from the road - but still, I think I made the best of it.
Looks to me like an old abandoned church. It was all boarded up and had keep out signs posted. Wonder what made them close it down...

Another shot from the trail - it was just the mountain loop, very easy and not at all inclined or difficult in any way. People could take their dogs on it. (Which immediately makes me wonder if people take their dogs on really difficult hikes. No idea.) Anyway this is a big crop, the log was very much taking up most of the foreground but I didn't like it as much.
Can you spot the little friend? 8) I had zero idea he was there when I took the shot, but in 100% zoom I had a nice little surprise!

So last night my husband was showing me some of his Desktop Wallpapers - he finds rather cool ones and I like to oooh and ahh over them from time to time. We were done his "Pictures" directory was open and I spied this painting of the giant statues in a kind of procession - with the tiny figure of a man walking down between them.
I was like "Whoa! Whoa hold up WHAT IS THAT I need that on my wall, right now that is all up my alley in like, every way." <-- I think that's pretty much exactly what I said. Hah!
So we opened it and Google Image Searched it and found the painter (Google, BLAM, knew who it was right away. Good on you, Google) it is Zdzislaw Beksinski, a Polish painter known for this "Fantastic Realism" style. Here is a blurb from Wikipedia:
At the time, Beksiński claimed, "I wish to paint in such a manne... more »

Original Concept Art by Michael Kutsche for the film.
In my opinion, concept artists who paint (not stitch together photos) are some of the most skilled artists working today. They have to be, because they generally have to work lightning fast. Pardon the pun ;)
They do trace in their workflow, using a lightbox. But this is for speed. As any true illustrator will tell you, if you cannot draw, you cannot trace and you absolutely certainly cannot paint without skill.

The Problem With Boys Will Be Boys by Soraya Chemaly

------------------------------------------------------------------------
For months, every morning when my daughter was in preschool, I watched her construct an elaborate castle out of blocks, colorful plastic discs, bits of rope, ribbons, and feathers. Only to have the same little boy gleefully destroy it within seconds of its completion.
It was obvious that this little guy got massive joy out of doing this. The first time, my daughter just stared in amazement and I tried t... more »

This one bit of boulder had some glorious moss all over it, soft lush and springy, it was one of the largest patches on the trail. Because of the way the trees were situated, this one patch got blasted with sunlight while the rest of the ground was shrouded in a canopy of shade.
This was a bit off the trail, but not too bad to clamber to - and I'm really glad I got to feel the moss, it was lovely!

View from Mount Morrow, North Carolina
Mount Morrow State Park was opened to the public in 1939. It isn't very big considering it sits right next to Uwharrie National Park :) It was beautiful though - we only just discovered it yesterday and we've decided it will be spectacular in the fall. We'll definitely head back there.
I am so glad that these vast stretches of vista are easily accessible to me - uninterrupted green vista is probably one of the most comforting things a human being can gaze upon.
My husband particularly liked the cloud - or at least remarked upon it. I've done nothing to it in the photo, it was smeared out like that in the sky :)

Eldritch Tree
I figure this is a kind of Grandfather to the tree I shot earlier. Just today - not too far from my home, not too long ago. I got probably a dozen shots worth sharing today, nearly all with a story, some not. I'm making dinner and processing them now.
Some people get really bent out of shape at a natural lens flare that is happening in this shot - but I think it's pretty and you'll never convince me otherwise. Guess I'm a little bit like J.J. Abrams :P bwahahahah
I woke up today feeling grumpy, full of snark and sass and with a headache and I'm ending it blissed out after a magnificent day with my husband and daughter. _Life is good_ and I am very grateful indeed. Have a great day!

More DoF fun with my Japanese Cherry Tree in my front yard. When the weather isn't cooperating I do tend to just find something in my yard to shoot - which is so lame, seriously. I think we're going out for another drive today if weather permits and our annual beach holiday is looming on the horizon. So more interesting shots to come in the coming months. I hope 8)
I have a colossal headache and a case of the sassypants. I think I need a break from G+ today! Have a lovely Sunday everyone :)

Get busy sharing photos from your existing albums!
With the Memorial Day weekend upon us, I'm sure that there will be tons of photos being taken and subsequently shared here on Google+. I'm happy to let you know that you can now share photos that are directly added to your existing albums while retaining all of your +1s and comments. Just navigate to the album of your choice, click on 'Add Photos', select your photo(s), and upload away. Upon completion of the upload and any applicable face tagging, a share box will appear, allowing you to share with your circles.

Shopping for new a new bed - sort of. Just looking 8)
Found this on Pinterest and I generally always use a Google Image Search on things I find on the 'net - because attribution is important. This yielded the earliest post on this here:
http://alextsmith.blogspot.com/2010/07/up-in-air.html - all the way back in 2010 - and even that lovely fellow was worried about attribution - he thought it was from a Bloomingdale's ad :) (which it was!)
Anyway, it's now so ubiquitous that I gather most people don't care. But I'm not most people :p At any rate...
I found the original Photograher, using the keywords "Bloomingdale's +ad bed in the trees", and it is Ditte Isager, here is her website: http://www.ditteisager.dk/ She has stunning work!!

It's random time! Okay before I explain the photo - lemme just say, that when I logged in this morning at 8:06am - the first 5 posts were hours old. One was from yesterday. This is not what I want to see in my stream, Google. 8( Who genuinely wants Google curating content for them in the "All" stream? <-- that's a question I we can discuss in the comments, btw
Okay on to the photo; I have a murder of crows living in my yard. No lie. I'm wondering if Odin is going to show up sometime soon, as this is the first time in 12 years of living here that they've decided to stick around. It is a family of 6 - those pics were taken in quick succession from my porch. They holler like crazy and when I go out there it can ramp up even louder. I wonder what they're saying. >.>

I sent my 5D Mark II in for a much needed sensor cleaning - very happy to do so. But something happened on the phone with repair support that made me wonder...
Just who invents these "security protections" when you call into Tech Support or Customer Support? What genius is behind this facade?
I could not complete the payment online, Canon's systems for the website were down and unavailable, so I had to call in to pay for the repair to get started. This initially hitches up my annoyance bar, but I call. My first call gets disconnected. Ok, whatever. I call back. I finally get through to repairs support and a very bored sounding tech answers the phone.
I explain to her the issue and give her my RN# she says how much it's going to be ($44.95 including return shipping, so not bad really) and I said alright, I agree to that.

So there is this information going around a bit today in posts I've seen (been around for a week or so) but it is about the What's Hot list showing different things based on whether or not you're flagged female or male.
This is my What's Hot list though. I think I know why Google is getting mine right.
I have every single Google service turned on. I think the most important one is Web History. I also use it all, every day, all the time. Google has loads of information about my habits and what I search, what I post, what's in my emails, everything. I don't mind it at all, because they are spot on when it comes to relevance --- if you let them be! They need your information to get it right.
It's all private and safe. I've been using it for years now. But allowing Google in only provides you with a better service.

Introducing Snapsation
Amongst the greatest human needs is the need to tell stories, to record memories, and to share our moments with the people who matter the most to us.
When you need an awesome dating profile picture, a business portrait, photos of your family reunion or milestone events. You need an amazing local photographer to help you to capture all of life’s moments.
As a local business you want to show off how amazing your restaurant is, the decor in your Bed and Breakfast, to show off your beautiful store or great new products, to record your industry happenings and events.
Finding a photographer is intimidating. And harder than it should be.
Photographers need customers. No matter how experienced a photographer is, there never seems to be enough time to focus on getting new customers. And for the many passionate and ta... more »

So I admit - I had no real understanding of Bitcoin currency. So, because I browse spectrum.ieee.org I came across a relevant article and started reading -- which brought me to wikipedia.
And you know how that goes. Wikipedia hopping is a pastime that many people enjoy and I could do it for hours!
I am so vanilla, really - I know all this possibility from reading Science Fiction but as I'm clicking through the bitcoin Wiki I came across, altogether innocently, the article on the Deep Web (and also the article on The Silk Road, which I had no idea even existed until this very moment!) This of course pings my immediate interest -- not because I want to do any nefarious things. Not at all. But reading about these netherrealms on the 'net is utterly fascinating to me.
It brings to mind all the awesome cyberpunk I've ever read, the manga I... more »

This began as a relevancy circle - and Google+ has a ton of use and info on my habits so actually it's very accurate. But I kept moving down my circles and picking people to add - people who might be new to me but who I have had a wonderful time engaging with them.
Some of these people only post rarely, some of them post a ton :) I follow Historians, Photographers, Artists, Thinkers and Rebels. Some of their posts might shock you. Some of their posts will delight you. Some of the people I added merely because I know them from engaging wildly well on my own threads and have come to know and like them that way.
142 people - some I know personally - some I just know here through this medium. But I am the better for it.

It's wet and humid in North Carolina for many months of the year. Quite tropical really. This wrought iron on our porch is 12 years old - it's about time it grew some proper algae ;) This was a day or so ago when it was raining.
I've been trying to figure out why some photographers here erase all metadata/EXIF information from their photos. No information at all in them. I'm curious as to why anyone would do that?

What is the best Cloud Backup service?
This is what I need:
(1) Echoing from an External Hard Drive to the Cloud
(2) Automatic Syncing (or easy 1 button click in an App is fine, too, like SyncToy, etc) that will only Echo the changes from External Hard Drive to the Cloud
I can use Dropbox for this, but because of the amount of Data I need -- it's $495/year.
What I'm asking is --- is this basically what I'm going to have to pay for a Cloud Backup?
I do not want: Bitcasa; it's cheaper but it is not secure. At all.
I do not want: Mozy/Backblaze/CrashPlan. I don't need a "oh gosh darn it my Windows blew up, I need it all back now" I know how to re-install windows if I have an internal HD failure. I don't need a "golly gee I don't know anything about computers" option. I also don't like how they... more »
