After many manipulations this came out better than the rest.

Colors of a City Winter
image
Its winter, and the city is magical.
Flowered Tree of Eternal Life
image
Started out as a picture of pine needles taken last winter. After endlessly playing with the image I cloned it 40 times and recolored each one adding them to the tree. For good measure I added 10 more layers of what I can't remember. Then I started with the variations and after a week of that feel that it is time for closure. This is my favorite one - right now - and I'm going to stop here......maybe.
Swarms of Swallows
image
Swarms of swallows were in the bird refuge waiting to migrate south. I took multiple photographs of them, and created layers of different sizes. Looked swarmy, but not dramatic enough. So I added color and blacked out the background. I then added the big bird and replced a previously posted version on Flickr. This image appeared, and here it is.
Bird and the Tower Over Niagara with Colorful Tree
image
Modification of an earlier posted image, but this one has a single bird and a colorful tree. Its all out of perspective but I'm not aiming at reality here - just a rich colorful image.

Winter is upon us and all is turning white.
Sunrise over Manhattan

Andy and the Sea
image
Made up of 5 different pictures. The ship was in Portsmouth harbor as was the lighthouse. Andy was sitting on the cliff on Monhegan Island and I added the two side shots. Took a long time combining them all.
Late Winter Brighter Eye
image
Last year I published another version of this picture that had more subtile colors. I thaught that might be more acceptable, but personally I always regretted I didn't use this version. I can rest in peace now.
We Thought they were Northern Lights
image
The Northern Lights were spectacular until the sky exploded.
Summer Tree In the Snow
image
I've published various versions of this tree in the past, but its never good enough to leave well enough alone. Some extra color and snow are always welcome.
Politics and the Military in Modern Spain
$28.93
Book
The Spanish military have been deeply involved in politics for a century and a half, from the end of the Napoleonic Wars through the long rule of Francisco Franco that followed the Spanish Civil War. This is the first full-scale study in any language of the relation of the military to Spanish politics, government, and public issues in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The key period 1917-39 is given special attention.
The military first intervened in domestic affairs in the early nineteenth century when neither the traditional monarchy nor the new liberal regime proved able to govern. The Army has played a crucial role note because of its efficiency or its leaders' wisdom, but simply because of its capacity to impose decisions on the intense, seemingly insoluble, factional struggles of Spanish politics.
Though the focus of the book is on political relations, the military role of the Army is also considered, with emphasis upon such leading political generals as Weyler and Primo de Rivera. Certain standard ideas about the causes, nature, and objectives of military activity in politics are revised, and new data are presented on the military conspiracy of 1936 and the Civil War of 1936-39.
Stanley G. Payne is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of Falange: A History of Spanis Fascism.
