Greek Island break
Tue 30th: Woke up on Chios island in our delightful little 'studio' beside the Aegean Sea. The night before we had taken the ferry (with our car) just 7 kms from the Turkish port, Cesme, with a pretty strong wind making me feel somewhat nervous, but all was ...
Chasing round Chios, Aegian Island
Another very early start for us this morning which meant getting up again pre dawn. I have never seen as many dawns in my life since we have been on this trip! We were whisked away in the bus from the city of Chios inland over the high mountains towards a medieval stone built village called Mesta. The twisting passageways and crooked streets of Mestanwere built that way hundreds of years ago as a form of protection from the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. Chios is ...
Peace and quiet on Chios
The apartment is just perfect and we have a lovely relaxing three days before the overnight ferry to Athens. The Raven takes a gentle stroll round the south of the island on the Sunday, and we visit a wonderful fishing village in the north for lunch on the Monday. Apart from that we just enjoy being on our own... being able to prepare our own food, do our own washing, swim in the sea, go walking/running and just catching up with reading, crocheting and contacting people/sorting ...
It's time to leave Asia... it really is
The vineyard turns out to be next door to the old railway marshalling yard from which Ataturk once directed the 1937 skirmishes between the Turks and the Greeks from his own private, personalized railway carriage... a carriage made by the same German firm who manufactured a mobile HQ for Uncle Adolf! The yard is now a wonderful steam-engine museum housing the said carriage. Hilli listens patiently to ...
Chios and Mykonos
We travelled to a medieval ghost village perched high on the top of a mountain. The drive there was dreadful, had my eyes closed most of the way. Great mountain top view of the west coast of Chios. We visited a lovely village and church with carvings from a tree a feature. No air-con on the ...

Nah, I'm with ya Oddball. The size and placement really do make it suited best as a huge parking garage. If it's one thing Disney should do before any efforts are spent on any third gate, it's plan for future infrastructure. That chunk of land just has "parking garage" written all over it, although I could see keeping the theater and maybe Bubba Gump Shrimp. ( Or make very small malls at each end to bolster the theater and restaurant, but the main mass would be parking. )
It is successful and it will be even more when they have the right stores with the right restaurants that cater to the age groups that tend to go their. Disney does not need another parking lot, not in my opinion.They have a huge parking lot across from GW next to the Ramada..they also have Toy Story lot. I just think that GW needed anew set of owners and it needs to be flipped. It's not as popular as Block At Orange or the Irvine Spectrum but that is because GW didn't have the correct marketing tools and approach that I still believe it needs, and now that it's been bough I believe that all that will be reworked and it will bring in more shoppers and dinning options..The reason that the Irvine Spectrum is sooo popular is because it has two factors that keep it going—The options for dining and shopping and the people that go their + extras, they always have extras like in the winter a ice rink and or they host the charity thing with the play houses that cost more then my car..plus they got cool shops to look at like Cathay Jean, Old Navy, Urban Outfitters,Apple store (not that GW needs one).. but you see what I mean? It's got popular stores that people have heard ..it has places to eat too that are popular.. and popularity like that comes from word of mouth, and word of mouth comes from the people that have been to those places to dine and the more people that dine the more the word gets spread..etc.. You can't have a successful store with out people buying your stuff.. can't have a successful restaurant with out people eating in it..but you can't get the people to go their unless you have good marketing and advertising tools. And so like I said,with this new owner I hope all that will get reworked, I am sure itwill. But it won't happen over night.
..and in the future if Disney decides to buy the GW from the new owners, or buy them out, by then I hope most of the loans that the GW defaulted on are paid off or close to it, and the basis for a new structure to make that place a enjoyable outdoor mall is intact...
The location of the Pumba Lot makes more sense for a structure since it would better serve the existing DLR infrastructure. Since the GW already does have some parking as well as some businesses that may want to be kept, I don't see it getting bulldozed any time soon.
The area around GW does lend itself to DtD-like development and lodging, the former only if the right tenants and/or "architectural" features can't be found at the GW. They're also going to need a big transportation hub that will link the resort with ARTIC, or whatever other transportation mode is envisioned.

it will cost more i bet to bulldoze the GW for Disney IF and WHEN they buy it then to keep it and re-work it's dining and shopping options..

1. Disney has to manage the mall. The mall has few tenants. It cost money to maintain.
2. In the long term, the mall is worthless. Bulldozing is probably 10 years away, but this means Disney is paying a premium for land. The mall is probably worth $200 million. The land is worth $50 million. Disney is $150 million in the hole and they must put millions more into it to revive it or convert it into a parking structure to feed into the third park.
I felt the design of Garden Walk was a disaster. '
1. The parking structure is on the wrong side. It should be on the West side or Northside to allow better access for the nearby hotels.
2. The multi-levels does not allow the stores to face each other around a focal point. Some stores are orphaned with poor foot traffic.
3. The mall is difficult to navigate. It is hard to know what is on the other side.
This project is now the responsibility of the new owners. The only thing they can do is fix the tenant mix, have better signage, and focus on the customers nearby.
I really think that this was a mistake by Iger not to buy this. It is about the future. Disneyland resort can be a lot larger than it is today. Walt bought land not knowing exactly what he was going to do with it in Florida. I think that there needed to be some convincing of the Anaheim city council to make all of this work. This land could be hotles or a park. Disney has shown recently not to know how to plan for the future.

My SO and myself came up with this last night while discussing the topic...
We were not sure about the southern & eastern end of the TS lot (the unpaved sections of that block). A friend told us that the upper (NE corner) was in fact owned by Disney already. I don't know if anything like that is true, and the map below is just an idea/thought - excuse our drawing skills - i know that it looks like two 3rd graders drew it! LOL. But it helped us visualize what each of us were talking about last night.
The mystery strip mentioned above and in page 3 by Swampymarsh would be a central transport area.
We also considered the east Esplanade area as a transport hub.
We drew a monorail into the 3rd gate and considered foot traffic between the parks but didn't draw it in.
There would be tunnels under the north extention of the 3rd gate in two places for traffic (vehicles).
We think that the Mega Guest parking area would have to rival those found in Vegas (read: tall and techno-advanced) as well as the cast lot too since the foot print of those areas are rather small. But when the plot is small, you must always go upwards!
JMazz: I think the "mystery strip" your thinking of (north side of Disney Way) is an electrical transmission easement at least and a utility "corridor" at most. Building anything there would be an expensive proposition.
That aerial photo does show a vacant lot on the South side of Disney Way adjacent to the Easterly side of the GW. What I think is your 3rd grader monorail goes right though this lot, so that would be a good spot for a stop. But I wonder if a People Mover would work better than a Monorail?

If Disney is serious about a third gate then they are in big trouble. They have no room to accommodate a third gate PLUS the necessary parking. Had they bought Gardenwalk, a parking garage can be built in that space to resolve this issue.
The open lot is for a Disney Hotel.
Yes, Disney has approval from Anaheim to put a park there, but with DCa expansion need more parking. So to be "nice" instead of paving the rest(there was some parking in there before) of the Strawberry Fields they left an intentional buffer.
Mega Guest Lot?
Disney also owns those two building to the north. Since WestCot was planned that area was planned for a garage. Also since it's not across the street from the park but has that thick hotel buffer, it could end up a lot taller than the M&F garage.
Mega Freeway access.
Yes it's already in place, funny right now since it's a giant exit to a turn on Harbor instead of going into Pumba.
Mega Cast Garage. I rather think that Disney has already started the push to get CMs parking much further away down at the sport venues and that won't change.
? Hotels north of the Toy Story lot.
Not all but to generalize those are pretty dumpy. When no money goes into properties, it means they are probably just waiting to be bought by someone willing to put money into them.
As far as the monorail stops, check this recent plan out below.
This is a plan for a limulticar streetrail that runs on streets. The northern most stop is north of the GW and south of the Pumba lot agreed to be worked on with Disney and Anaheim. Notice the stops to the east are near the giant sports venues.
So why isn't that stop in the Esplanade, instead of next to Disney's parking lot? Because Disney has made plans for a moving walkway to connect the two. So when last week that streetcar plan came out, and they still don't want the stop at the parks, they must know how to get the people to the gates.The 3.2-mile line will connect the under-construction ARTIC train station--with connections to Amtrak, Metrolink, and possibly high-speed rail--to the Anaheim Convention Center, with stops at the Platinum Triangle, GardenWalk Mall, and Disneyland. A monorail, similar to the one that gets people into Disneyland, was also considered (too expensive), as was a bus system (little federal funding or opportunity for surrounding development). No word on an anticipated opening for the streetcar just yet.
Depending on what Anaheim's zoning laws are for a structure's height or depth, a third park could be built on top of a parking garage. Have one big multi-level garage go down a couple of levels and the park on top of it.
Swampy, that is a very interesting map. So the stop is nowhere near the esplanade, yet next to the strip of land as mentioned above. If this gets built (the light rail), I will be thrilled. It will be an indication that a 3rd gate is coming and takes care of the CM parking issues. When we were at the park last time, we saw the access to the freeway for the first time. We never needed to go down this street to this area before. I was amazed at how open and large the area was but I wondered why it was built considering there was such little usage of the area. I was hoping that it was a future need (a la 3rd gate). I remember talking about a park being built in the parking lot of Disneyland right after Epcot was built. It was a debate at the family table on more than one occasion. I remember the nay-sayers very well. Thx for the info. I will be reading it to dear SO in a few days. We both debate this 3rd gate, even tho we are both for it, one of us has to play the devil's advocate from time-to-time.
Giant Panda, we talked about PM and moving walkways and tunnels for foot traffic. If I were king of DL, I think I would choose a continuous system like PM.

Enjoy the Little Things in Life – You'll Look Back and Realize They're the Big Things!
About me and who I am looking for: What makes you happy? If your answer is "life's simple pleasures" you may be the very woman I'm looking for. Oh we all have "big moments," but it's the little ones from which memories are made. There's a lot to be said for said for living in the moment and finding joy in life unfolding around you. From just watching the sun rise or set, feeling a warm rain on your face, the purity of a snow storm, or good food prepared from the heart – we don't have to look far to find happiness. I'm hoping to meet a special and like-minded woman to share those pleasures with. My smile is the first thing most people notice about me and it's usually present. I learned long ago that no matter how bad things may seem, they can always get worse and I'm one that will walk away rather than cause a conflict – unless it's something that touches my heart and soul. Friends would describe me as a kind, caring and compassionate man, and I hope so because they are qualities I hold near and dear. Usually I surround myself with others of the same mindset. I'm a quiet person, but love to talk, and it's a personal goal of mine to enrich the lives of people I meet. In part I do that by being willing to teach and share knowledge. It only takes a second to make someone feel better about themselves, and to make their life a little better. In their own way, everyone is beautiful on the outside, but I'm looking for that special woman who is beautiful on the inside as well. She can look at me from across a room and put a smile on my face. She's the one I want to be with, share secrets with, hold hands with, and enjoy the little moments of every day. She loves the outdoors, values friends and family, and makes my life richer just for being in it. In short, she's the best friend I can't see myself without! Still reading? You may indeed be the woman I'm looking for, but I won't know you're interested until I hear from you, so send me an e-mail and we'll take it from there. I want to hear your stories and share some of mine while we decide if we want to take the next step and meet in person. I hope to hear from you soon.

I was hesitant booking because of 2 star rating. I could not have picked a better place. It was paradise to us. Staff was personal, accommodating, and very helpful. Had restaurant suggestions and gave directions. But it was also nice and private. Entrance to the beech was across the street and 400ft down the road. The hotel had chairs, mats, sand toys, coolers, towels and more for guests to use on the beech. The pool was clean, perfect temp., and always open. The atmosphere was quiet and low key in a pricey town. But there was towns on the beech that were close by with a lot of action. There was a sitting area outside with ceiling fans, wicker furniture with cushions and a grill for guests to use. That is also where they have their continental breakfast, which was pretty basic but every room has its own kitchenette anyways. The continental breakfast consists of coffee, orange juice, bagels with cream cheese, and some kind of breakfast muffin, cake or Danish. I sat out there doing homework online on my laptop after breakfast was over. There is free Wi-Fi and with free parking. I hope I didn't forget anything, because I just can't say enough nice things about my experience there! We definitely plan to go again and who knows maybe even have a reunion there. Just to say one more thing, we met a few different couples and families that have been coming to Ocean Lodge year after year. ...

difficult to rate. interior of room is clean and no complaints. location cannot be beat. but price for a 1 star hotel is a bit high. again, keep in mind the location is excellent about a block from the beach. staff is very helpful. nothing wrong with hotel but next time i will try to book a higher star rated hotel farther away from beach for probably the same price.

From check-in to check-out, this was a pleasant experience. We were traveling to Miami to see the Red Sox play the Marlins and wanted to stay somewhere new. We were not disappointed, the manager was very friendly and the hotel was clean and comfortable. I wish we had been able to stay longer. A+ experience.

Very nice, well kept hotel, good location fairly quite. We really liked the kitchen and the outdoors BBQ grill we made good use of it. We could see our self coming back next year!

SEND TO A FRIEND : Tiny Love Super Play Mat 150 x 100cm
|Close x
|Close x
The Tiny Love's Super Mat - an extra large, extra cushioned activity mat baby can share with a parent, sibling or friend. Indoors or outdoors, the all-purpose play area features a variety of textured materials, removable mirror and many activities for baby to explore and enjoy. The smiling faces encourage baby to look at them and smile back.
I'm a new first time mum but I bought this product for my sister who has just had twins - our little one's are just 6weeks apart. I wanted to get her a mat big enough that the twins could enjoy at the same. This mat is huge, so big that my little one and my 3.5year old niece can also enjoy with the twins - family time! It's bright and colourful with stimulating fabrics and attachments. I particularly like the fact it has an extra ring at one corner where you can attach a new/favourite toy to provide further stimulation. It is a bit bulky to fold away and store but after all it is a huge mat, bought for it's size. It comes in a decent see through bag which will aid tidy storage, though I suspect it will get daily use soon. A great buy and price with the usual excellent, swift service from Kiddicare.
Great product, excellent service
Hoopla's wife

I like it, space is enough for her to play around altho need to put pillow on all Sides as my baby like to pull the edges and she ends up covered by the matt.
16 Jul 2014
I bought this as my son has outgrown his playmat with toy arches. He has really enjoyed rolling all over this much larger mat which is also slippery enough for him to shuffle around (he is 6 months). Big enough to protect my carpet and great that it can go outside. Only cons for me - I wish it had a less crazy pattern and folding it is not as neat as the picture implies. I think I will add my own Velcro strap to hold it together
Great size
Happy Mummy
4 Jul 2014
This a good quality huge playmate. Lots of different sencery patches for baby to explore. Plenty of padding if using on carpet, and has a nice storage bag for when not in use but is pretty big and bulky to store. I think its a bit expensive for what it is, but you do pay for good quality. Overall very happy.
It's huge

Before & After: Kim and Scott Wrangle In Their Cables
Yellow Brick Home
On a scale of 1-10, organizing cables and cords behind an entertainment center ranks about a .001 on my scale. But when it's all done and finished, the results are often night and day, not only just improving the aesthetics in and around the home entertainment center, but also possibly making your home a little bit safer thanks to better organized power and wiring. Here's a glowing example of such a project, from Kim and Scott of Yellow Brick Home, 2012 Small Cool entrants...

|About "Pictures - About photography, fishing art and much more" from Blog Creek – GFF's weblog
This article is another photo article, this time teaching you how to get pictures of your gear or your flies on a clean, white background.
Pasi Visakivi
Finnish photographer Pasi Visakivi has been interested in photographing from very young age but is still learning new important things almost every day.
Canadian Yves Laurent does beautiful wood carvings of fish and other animals - and flies. His work is meticulous and detailed and even the stones are carved in wood!
Well placed reflections can add tremendously to an otherwise ordinary picture, and since we often have the reflective surface: the water, why not utilize this more in our images.
A mail ticked in: "One of our clients thought that Adriano Manocchia's art would be a nice addition to your art gallery section." And true enough. Manocchia's beautiful, almost photo realistic art would certainly be a nice addition to our Fishy Artists series.
Sam MacDonalds art may at first glance look like paintings, but is actually 3D sculptures made from metal, with a very particular character that lends itself very well to fish and underwater subjects. We confronted him with our usual questions.
This is the über simple lightweight guide to taking pictures of your flies - finished flies or for step-by-steps - even with your phone!
A friend of mine once said that New York is an outdoorsman's paradise. For those who live outside the state, that may seem hard to believe, but it's true, at least from a fisherman's perspective. There is an amazing diversity of freshwater gamefish available able anglers year around. Over the past ten years, I've accumulated quite a few digital images of NY fishing that I thought it would be fun to share.
Michael Jensen
Michael Jensen is a Danish writer and photographer whose images are widely used in fishing books and magazines. Michael is a very creative person who has also written children's books and short stories and not least he's an avid rock musician.
UK artist David Miller has long been on our wanted list for the Fishy Artist series, and now we can feature some samples of his impressing art and some answers to a few questions.
Harsh shadows from a bright source like the sun are usually not very welcome in our images, and we often jump through hoops to avoid them. But how about making the shadows a part of the image, and maybe even the most important part?
Eoin Fairgrieve
Located close to the river Tweed, Eoin Fairgrieve developed a passion and skill for photography through shooting images for articles on fishing for Atlantic salmon. We approached him with our usual row of questions.
Barry Ord Clarke
Over the past eighteen years, Barry Ord Clarke has built a niche market for himself within game fishing writing and photography. We approached Barry with our usual set of fishy photographer questions.
Vanishing points, golden sections, rule of thirds. Oh yes, image composition is full of mathematics and geometry. Here's how you can apply it all to your fishing photography. You can even test your own pictures' composition.
Harri Hytönen
Finnish photographer Harri Hytönen was brought to my attention through Facebook and I got both a set of great pictures as well as Harri's replies to our usual questions.
A book on fishing photography by Matt Hayes who according to the cover notes is "the most popular angler in Europe". Well, that might be so, but I never heard of him before... Never the less a very nice book on shooting fish, anglers and fishing scenes with lots of beautiful illustrations.
Patagonia based photographer Isaias Nicolaevici has been fly-fishing since he was a boy and taking pictures for almost as long. We have asked him our usual series of questions.
Stu Hastie is a New Zealand photographer whose work first came to my attention through our user's image galleries and his posts on Facebook. The quality was top notch, and being in NZ he didn't seem to have a shortage of subjects.
Jonas Hoholt
Jonas is a young Danish photographer in pursuit of a career as a freelancer. His photo of a trout rising towards a small frog brought him in line for our fishy photographer questions.
Dennis Collier
Subsequent to his retiring Dennis Collier abandoned most things that could be construed as work, but he still shoots a lot of fishing photos. We asked him our usual set of photography questions.
Marcel Siegle
Marcel Siegle is a professional photographer who splits his photo time (unevenly) between weddings and fly-fishing. His fly-fishing work is widely used in magazines and catalogs. We asked Marcel our usual photo questions.
Henry Hegeman
Henry Hegeman got the crazy idea that maybe he could make some extra money to help support his hunting and fishing endeavors by writing articles and illustrating them with his photos
Nick Price
Guiding in Idaho is Nick Price's main source of income and photography is second. Nick is particularly fond of B/W pictures and shooting bugs with macro.
Corey Kruitbosch
While scouting for photographers I found Corey Kruitbosch's almost 2,000 beautiful images on Flickr. Like before I approached him with our usual set of questions and he cordially replied and sent some samples of his work.
We feature a ton a fly pictures on this site and emphasize good quality in these pictures. This is an article about how to get the best shots of your flies.
Angus Drummond
Angus Drummond is a Colorado based guide and photographer whose images have been used in magazines and books as well as on web sites. Angus' images are also available as fine art prints. We summoned Angus and asked him a few questions.
Jim Levison
Jim Levison specializes in saltwater fly fishing in Montauk, New York. He guides and he takes pictures. His stock of photos is more comprehensive than just the salt.
Aleksandar Vrtaric
Croatian photographer Aleksandar Vrtaric has a slightly different photographic style compared to many other fly fishing photographers. He likes to go close and often uses very tight compositions. We asked him a few questions
Mark Lance
Mark Lance's wife caught a grand fish, and Mark took a snapshot with a mediocre point-n-shoot camera. He was so disappointed in the printed version of that photograph that he vowed to raise the bar.
Jim Klug
Photographer and fly fisher Jim Klug tells that it all started with fly fishing and travel. These days, however, he is much more likely to be found in great fishing situations with a camera in his hand instead of a fly rod. Read Jim's story
The overview over our series of fly fishing photographers AKA Fishy Photographers.
"She's a Ducati riding, Wyoming roaming, fly fishing girl born in Tennessee... " This is how fly fishing artist AD Maddox is introduced on her web site, and an introduction that has exactly the effect that I suppose was intended: I gotta know more about her!
Shooting pictures close to the surface can give an exciting perspective that will enhance the feeling of being near the water... literally! This is yet another chapter in our long series about taking better fishing pictures.
Robin Armstrong is a British painter based in Devon in the UK, whose lifelike watercolors have been featured in magazine articles as well as in books by himself as well as other authors.
Become a better fly fishing photographer. Tips, examples and our best articles on shooting anglers.
The first time Korrie Broos saw one of Craig Bertram Smith's works of art was a pencil sketch he'd made to commemorate a trophy giant kingfish he'd caught, posted on a fly fishing forum. The sketch was magnificent, and Korrie immediately sent Craig an email
This winter has been a long one. We're in the beginning of March, and still the ice is covering much of the coastal water, many lakes and even streams. But Martin usually don't long for spring. Don't worry: It comes no matter what!
It has been awfully quiet on GFF lately, but we're working behind the scenes on some great material for the autumn. During the summer Martin has been busy making books, and you can now buy two volumes chuck full of his beautiful images and support GFF at the same time.
How do you frame wind? How is snow captured best? How do you protect your camera when you try to freeze a shower into a single image? No, it's not at all easy to get the impression of weather into that piece of mechanics and electronics we call a camera.
Martin maintains an archive of fly-fishing images together with a bunch of fishing friends. Nowadays it contains almost 12,000 images, and of those about 1,253 or more than 10% are tagged "gear". They take a lot of gear pictures.
This might be considered a strange and kind of exotic photography subject to write a whole article about, but looking at the images that my fishing friends and I shoot, I can see that it's a very popular thing to shoot. As soon as a fish is hooked, we rush to the scene, and get quite a few bent rod pictures.
We all love these shots of stunningly clear water. Streams, lakes even the ocean can appear almost ethereal in the way that the bottom is visible in your shot. How do you best shoot these images, which let's the freshness and clarity of the water come out in the final picture?
Ever since GFF partner Martin Joergensen first discovered Yoshikazu Fujioka's Japanese web site, which was amongst the first fishing related pages he ever found on the web, he was fascinated with Fujioka's art. Now GFF can present images from "Trouts and Seasons of the Mountain Streams".
Read about Florida artist, guide and store owner Vaughn Cochran's history and see samples of his beautiful art, which stretches from pop art over impressionsitic scenes to sculptures. Cochran paints and sculpts fish and scenes from his home waters as well as other tropical waters.
Dutch Ad Swier is not only a pike fanatic beyond the ordinary but also an artist extraordinaire. His beautiful drawings and paintings have been used in books, calanders and magazines all over the world. We convinced Ad to participate in our series on Fishy Artists.
If you look in casting books, ads for fly lines or just the odd fly fishing magazine, you will often see some fascinating pictures of casting. Lines forming the most beautiful arcs in the air, clearly illustrating one of the mesmerizing things about fly fishing: the beauty of the cast.
"As a young kid developing my skills and vision as an artist, I found that I could find no better subject to paint then the big northern pike and largemouth bass that I would often observe cruising the weed lines out in the bayou."
Canadian watercolor artist Diane Michelin has been painting for 15 years. "Basically, in each painting, I try to tell a story that represents the day to day events that fuel our passion." as she says in this article presenting her paintings.
This might sound like a strange piece of advice, but GFF partner Martin Jorgensen writes: "Trust me: you generally want to underexpose your digital images. Almost every single one of them. "
Rod Sutterby gave us a taste of his beautiful paintings in the book Atlantic Salmon done in cooperation with Malcolm Greenhalgh. In connection with a new series of articles about "Fishy artists" here on GFF we contacted the artist.
Most fly anglers will find that using macro in their photography can be truly thrilling. A lot of what we are interested in is small, and many will appreciate being able to capture small things. This article in the series about fishing photography covers macro photography from an angler's perspective.
Getting a picture of a jumping fish is not as easy as you may think. You need preparation, skill, timing the right gear and some luck too. Read more about catching fish in the air in this latest article on better fishing photos.
If you want really sharp fishing images there's no avoiding some kind support for your camera. A steady tripod is the best solution and the one that you see pros using, but there are other ways of supporting your camera as GFF partner Martin Joergensen explains here.
Another round of good advice for getting better fishing pictures. This time about the few moments during the day where the light is particularly exhillarating—namely around sunrise and sunset. This article tells you how to get the most from these often few minutes of great light.
We want to capture our fish in two ways: first on the hook and then in the camera. Once the fish has been hooked many of us already envision the poster on the wall, the image in the online gallery or just a print to show to the fishing buddies.
One of the most common reasons for not getting the really good fishing images is that people simply don't bring their camera. Either they leave it at home - which is really stupid - or they leave it on the bank - which is just moderately stupid.
If you're on the lookout for a new camera to take with you when you go fishing, there are a few things you need to consider before diving for your wallet. This article aims to point out some issues regarding size, facilities and accesories.
More ways to improve your fishing photos. This time about using your flash in bright daylight - even in sunshine.
You might think that the flash on your camera is for taking pictures when it's dark.
One of the most common errors we see when we see people taking pictures is that they are looking down on their subject. If you want pictures, which grab attention and have impact a good way is to lower your stance. Bend, kneel, sit even lie down to get below your motif.
This is the first little article in a small series on taking better fishing pictures. The first chapter is about going closer to your subject when you photograph. The closer you go, the better you get the picture focussed and the viewer's attention.
Now, this is something! Norwegian Christian Figenschou and his friends Dariusz and Julem's fabulous pictures of bonefishing and their attitude towards fishing fit perfectly into the GFF bonefishing theme.
This is the end that counts to to most anglers: where the mouth is and where the fly is supposed to go. All these fish opened theirs over a hook, and they paid for it with a portrait. Pictures of fish from the very small sand eel to the very large steelhead.
Gotta stay on the fins to survive, as the fish said. We feature another gallery of not-so-traditional fish photos, this time of fins. See round ones, sharp ones, big ones and small ones in this gallery put together with pictures from several GFF photographers.
This is an image gallery a bit different than we usually do them. We have so many great pictures in our stock that we need some way to get them out to you. This is a gallery of tails. Yes, tails! Nothing but these beautiful rudders on the fish we catch.
This new feature allows you to see a lot of the many great picture series on GFF as automatic slide shows. Select a show and just lean back and enjoy a virtual adventure from somewhere around the world. Pictures from many of our articles can now be seen as slideshows.
The Global FlyFisher offers its readers a chance to share their photos with the rest of the world. Create your own fly fishing gallery with GFFPix. We welcome all fly anglers and fly tyers to share their best photos with the rest of us through an extremely easy-to-use system.
This little article is a photo essay rather than one of many words. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has done picture based stories like this one before, just putting up a bunch of good fishing shots and adding a little text.
A long time ago we had a very popular eCard service on GFF, but due to technical changes we had to shut it down. Now we have a new and better service up and running with plenty beautiful pictures for you to mail off to friends and loved ones on the Internet.
GFF partner Martin Joergensen recently returned from a trip to British Columbia. Although he has promised to write up some text about the trip, his pictures are just too pretty to stash away for much longer. A lot more will follow.
A few photos to give you an idea of how GFF partner Martin Joergensen spent his domestic fishing days in the first part of this year - primarily in pursuit of his beloved sea trout, but also out to get some pike and other species.
The fly photo article series continues with a section on selecting a proper background for your fly photos. It might seem a trivial task, but trust us: it is not! The background can be everything from a uniformly colored surface to all kinds of materials in strange hues.
A digital camera with a good macro facility is the perfect way to take good fly pictures. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has updated his now classical Digitizing Flies article with a whole new chapter on selecting and using a digital camera for fly photography.
Want a wallpaper with a sunset, a stream, a beautiful coastline, bonefishing or salmon fishing? We we are continously updating the wallpaper section with new pictures. Check in regularly. And by the way: We passed 110,000 downloads of our beautiful pictures.
This is the most complete lecture on digitizing flies you will find on the net. Its aim is to teach you all the techniques needed for making good fly pictures online. By web master Martin Joergensen with supplementary text and photos by web master Steve Schweitzer.

Love these!
May 14, 2014
Reviewer: Ewm from Middletown, DE United States
Love these pouches, really easy to use, clean and they don't make a mess in the lunch box. I have used them for applesauce and smoothies and they work great. One tip, teach the kids to open holding the spout on the top (basically hold it sideways) because the liquid can come squirting out if they are not careful. Other than that, absolutely no problems!

GO SPOTTING: Go on the History Channel: Reader Drew Chuppe recently caught a go reference on a History Channel program called "The Art of War." "They were talking about how the teaching of Sun Tzu could have helped Robert E. Lee win the Civil War," Chuppe writes. "To my surprise, the narrator remarked that on the final day at Gettysburg, 'Lee abandoned his go strategy and reverted to chess strategy' and stated that the charge up Cemetery Ridge was dictated by chess strategy." Go "teaches us to stay away from the opponent's thickness and look for weaknesses in his position," says Chuppe, noting that "Ordering a charge across a broad, open field into cannon fire is the battlefield expression of placing a stone next to your opponent's strong wall. As an aside, I have read The Art of War but I do not recall any overt reference to go (though) there are a few strategic statements that could apply." In a related go connection, graphic designer and longtime American go community contributor Mike Samuel – who designed many of the annual U.S. Go Congress logos — designed the History Channel's iconic logo.

GO SPOTTING: 'The Archaeology of Internment'
Monday May 9, 2011
"Readers may be interested in the current May/June issue of Archaeology magazine," reports Janice Kim. "There is an article 'Archaeology of World War II' that includes a section 'The Archaeology of Internment' that describes some findings at the Kooskia camp in Idaho, where American citizens of Japanese ancestry were interned during World War II. It notes that archaeologists '… are uncovering evidence that people not only survived, but also struggled to maintain their identity and dignity even in the most restrictive and dehumanizing environments', with a picture of go stones discovered at the site. In light of recent events I think it's important to reflect on this chapter in our history, and I was heartened by the Journal's reporting of fundraising events for Japan by the US go community."

|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Grated lemon rind
|1 Teaspoon
|Ground cloves
|1 Pinch
|Egg white
|1 , lightly beaten
In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast into the warm water with the sugar.
Let stand for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir to dissolve the yeast completely.
Set aside until the mixture doubles.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, milk and vanilla.
Stir into the yeast mixture.
Gradually stir in the flour and blend well, until the mixture can be gathered into a ball.
If the dough is not pliable enough, add a little more milk.
Place into a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by soaking the dried fruit in the water for several hours.
Chop the fruit very finely and place in a saucepan with the sugar and water.
Cook over low heat until all the liquid has evaporated.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon rind and cloves.
Set aside to cool.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough in a circle as thin as possible, about one-sixteenth-inch thick.
Cut out as many rounds as you can with a 4-inch cutter.
Place 1/2 tablespoon filling in the center of each round.
Form a triangle by bringing the tips of your thumbs and index fingers together around a circle of dough, pinching the ends together to form a triangle cookie, leaving the center of the filling exposed.
Repeat until all the dough and filling are used.
Transfer the cookies onto lightly oiled baking sheets.
Brush the tops with beaten egg white.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Transfer to wire racks to cool.
