I think the size of the fruits will also depend on the fruit density in every tree. Last harvest one tree produced few but bigger fruits. I still believed that older and bigger mango trees produce more and bigger fruits than young trees.

Goodmorning M.TEX, are you from the Philippines too? Liked mangos too, too bad I found out about their high uric acid content. Now if I eat too much mango I will feel the pain on my joints the next day, but its worth it 

[M.TEX]

  NO....Im Brazilian
  and never had this type of problems....
  but  I wouldn't stop just because of that ....
  Take care....

Tropical Storm 'Cosme' makes landfall over western Pangasinan.

The Philippine’s weather bureau on Saturday hoisted public storm warning signal no. 3 over six provinces in Luzon as tropical storm Cosme (international codename, Halong) made landfall over western Pangasinan Saturday. In its 5:30 p.m. update the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA) reported Cosme has changed its direction a bit and has made landfall over western Pangasinan, after it was first expected to hit land over Ilocos Sur.

Duckman, take all necessary precautions.

Not so much of a pic but more of a poor quality video . It shows a rough sea hammering our coast line . Believe me the sea is alot bigger then it looks in the video and if you had gone to the bottom of that ramp you probably wouldnt have come back as it would have knocked you off your feet , the waves were breaking over your head .you can see when I turn round just how close the village is to the sea and all that stands between it is that wall .

Now thats a pretty heavy sea state mate, I hope you don't get a call out in it

When its that bad we couldnt even launch  The Enviroment agency closes the flood gates so we couldnt get through plus it would be certain death in a sea like that with a boat like ours . Theres many stories in old times with brave men dying trying to launch lifeboats in huge surf , thats the most dangerous part the surf once your past that you can ride the waves to some degree . were tasked upto a force 6 but although it doesnt look that bad on the vid it was beyond that .

Thanks eddie, got hit pretty bad last night. Its the biggest storm to hit us for the last 5-7 years. We are okay.

[edap617]

Thanks God you are all ok. I hope the damage to infrasturctures were minimal. We are lucky here in the Central Visayas because we only experienced heavy rains for 3 days and no strong winds.

Sunny day yesterday with beautiful sunset.

[M.TEX]

 Wow too bad I do not have a nice place like that near me....You are so lucky...Rock on Bro !   

[edap617]

It's rainy season here now and it rained hard from early evening until 5:00 o'clock. I decided to jog at 5:00 A.M. even when it was still drizzling. Here's some pics.

[edap617]

Oh it's a sunny day!

The volcano 50 kilometers away was clearly visible at 5:00 P.M. today.

[WhichDawg]

I like that one Eddie! the snow on our Volcano is really gonna melt some this weekend here.

Great pix!

Here's one from a couple nights ago.    California has had really bad luck with fires so far this year.    We've had 3 big ones close to us and a few days ago we had the wierdest lightning storm I've ever seen.    It started over 600 fires that day since everything is crispy dry right now.

Anyway,  the night of the last fire, I went outside at midnight or so and looked up and the freaking moon looked like it was bouncing (I guess from the heat waves).    I woke everyone up in the house and we all sat outside and stared at it for over an hour.    Truly one of the strangest things I've seen.

I tried to take a video, but the battery for the recorder was dead.

Shot a lot of pictures becasue the sky looked so cool though.

[Benner]

That's an awesome pic! 

[Tarrodemierda]

hey scibeer,what settings( or did u take it with pocket cam? )did u use to take that,any histograms?

[scibeer]

Manual mode on a canon 20D.

I was bracketing but if I remember right it was around f3 for 1/30 sec at ISO800 ??  I cropped out a lot of dark sky. 

There's a bunch of programs out there that let you click on a web photo and get all that info.   Look for a free download of Opanda.

You can find all the specs on any web picture (camera type, date, all the settings,iso modes, exposure etc. ) with it.

[Tarrodemierda]

[edap617]

It rained so hard the whole night until dawn that the park was deserted when I arrived there at 5:30 A.M.

That's a nice low noise shot for ISO800.  That 20D is serving you well.

[scibeer]

I think the background helps with that a little, but I've taken daytime shots with a 400mm and had to shoot at 800 ISO to freeze sports late in the afternoon and it does well.

Of course, part of the reason could be the fact that it is 5.30 AM.

No ben, at 5:30 a.m. there are already many people jogging, walking and playing basketball. Here is another picture I took on that same day (June 29). The baketball court was also deserted. I'll take another picture at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow.
