Happy Easter Monday to all our followers, commenters, admirers, and survivors! We will continue to post images on Bank Holidays while the Covid-19 crisis continues. For today, we have a remarkable image of Main Street in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan with the hill rising away from us, and a crowd of men(?) gathered about half way down! What was the occasion?
+++ UPDATE +++
Much happy speculation as to the occasion, but nothing definite that we could hang our Sunday Best hats on. However, we did narrow the date. Our Lawrence photo collection dates between 1865 and 1914. As you’ve all managed from dating various buildings to narrow the date to 1909-1922, for our purposes, that means this photograph was taken between 1909 and 1914. Thank you, one and all!
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Circa 1909-1914, but likely 1901 -1902

Procida is the smallest island of the Gulf of Naples; it is rich in attractions and archaeology. From the ground floor of Napoli Centro train station, you can take the metro to station Pozzuoli then get off and take the ferry at the port of Pozzuoli. The architecture of Procida has a Greek origin. In fact, the history of Procida is concentrated first of all on the medieval village “Terra Murata” and on “Corricella”, the fishing settlement. The island has served as the set for numerous films, such as The “Postman”, and some scenes in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” were shot on Corricella. The landmarks of Procida reflect typical Mediterranean pastel colours. Procida offers simply cooking and at least 10 excellent restaurants with plain cooking based on fresh fish. This simple style never fails, thanks to the 20 local fishing boats. The specialties of the cooking are: stewed rabbit (which goes back to the Borbonen who came on Procida to hunt the wild rabbit) and spaghetti with sea-urchin. Procida has 6 beaches with crystal-clear waters. Spent some relaxing days on this wonderful island. Experience the real Italy, lovely people, great views, great sand and great food.
Procida is not just a triumph of light and sea! It has its history like every other place, which here is made of wind, sea and faith. In 1811, the French poet and writer Alphonse De Lamartine arrived in Italy when he was only 21 years old. According to the story, the writer fell in love with a young local orphan named Graziella. Years later Lamartine decided to write a beautiful novel about this. This romantic love story was born on this island. They reconstructed this site two hundred years after this event. This Casa di Graziella is clearly much richer than a fisherman's house. The entire wardrobe is dated between 1800 and 1900. The purpose of the museum is to save and continue to promote the history and culture of Procida through the eyes of Graziella who lived and died for love. It gives an idea of how (not so poor people) lived in Procida 100 years ago. There is also an outside balcony from which you can see the Coast, Mount Vesuvius and surrounding Islands, including Capri.
Procida is het kleinste eiland van de Golf van Napels; het is rijk aan attracties en archeologie. Vanaf de begane grond van treinstation Napoli Centro kunt u de metro naar station Pozzuoli nemen, uitstappen en de veerboot nemen in de haven van Pozzuoli. De architectuur van Procida heeft een Griekse oorsprong. In feite is de geschiedenis van Procida allereerst geconcentreerd op het middeleeuwse dorp "Terra Murata" en op "Corricella", de vissersnederzetting. Het eiland heeft gediend als decor voor tal van films, zoals The "Postman", en sommige scènes in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" zijn opgenomen op Corricella. De herkenningspunten van Procida weerspiegelen typische mediterrane pastelkleuren. In 1811 arriveerde de Franse dichter en schrijver Alphonse De Lamartine in Italië toen hij nog maar 21 jaar oud was. Volgens het verhaal werd de schrijver verliefd op een jonge lokale wees genaamd Graziella. Jaren later besloot Lamartine een prachtige roman hier over te schrijven. Dit romantische liefdesverhaal werd geboren op dit eiland. Tweehonderd jaar na dit evenement hebben ze deze site gereconstrueerd. Dit huis is duidelijk veel rijker dan een vissershuis. De gehele kleerkast is gedateerd tussen 1800 en 1900. Het doel van het museum is om de geschiedenis en cultuur van Procida te redden en te blijven promoten door de ogen van Graziella die leefde en stierf voor liefde. Het geeft een idee hoe (niet zo arme mensen) 100 jaar geleden in Procida leefden. Er is ook een balkon van waaruit je de kust en de omliggende eilanden, waaronder Capri, kunt zien.
This sunrise at this lake was just wonderful! Amazing light - freezing temperatures - half of the lake was frozen - and the water like a mirror - unbelievable - no wind - just alone - pure nature and silence...a feast for your eyes and your soul...

Dieser Sonnenaufgang an diesem See war einfach wunderbar! Unglaublich schönes Licht - eisige Temperaturen - die Hälfte des Sees war zugefroren - und das Wasser wie ein Spiegel - kein Wind - ganz alleine - pure reine Natur und Stille ...ein Fest für das Auge und die Seele

One RAW photo (600mm ; 6400 ISO ; 6s ; F6.3) vs full processing (result of Stacking 270 photos and post processing).
As you can see there is a "small" difference between both images.

Well, the camera did (important note: no cameras were harmed in the making of this capture) ;-)
No, this is not my new camera / lens combo taken with my old camera; as you know, I'm a happy MFT user, and I'm not planning on a system change. This is a fellow photographer's camera, and in the lens you can see the reflections of star-shaped lights of one of the many beautiful Christmas illuminations at the Tierpark Berlin. Fun shot taken during a walk with Flickr friends. Happy weekend and fourth Sunday of Advent, dear Flickr friends, Christmas is around the corner :-)
Ich glaube, ich sehe Sternchen :-)
Oder besser: Diese (nicht meine) Kamera sah welche. Wichtiger Hinweis: Bei der Aufnahme kamen keine Kameras zu schaden ;-) ! Die Sterne, die sich hier in der Linse spiegeln, stammen von einer weihnachtlichen Illumination im Tierpark Friedrichsfelde ("Weihnachten im Tierpark"), aufgenommen bei einem Fotospaziergang mit Flickr-Freunden. Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende und einen ebensolchen 4. Advent, liebe Flickr-Freunde (noch fünfmal schlafen, dann ist Heiligabend) :-)
My first view of the Avenue of the Volcanoes at 6:52 am (a 4h58m climb) from the Refugio (Hut).
There are several volcanoes, but the most striking are the Chimborazo on your right (I will climb it tomorrow), the highest in the world and Cotopaxi, the second highest volcano in Ecuador (I climbed it in the first 24 hours).
***
Climbing an active volcano is complicated.
The crater is just below me. It took years for the Ecuadorian government to release climbing permits.
Me knowing the risks and signing the papers. It is a great pleasure for Pachamama to accept me, agradiseyki.

Other nearby towns are Ambato (30 kilometres (19 mi) to the northwest), Baños and Riobamba (30 kilometres (19 mi) to the southwest).

Christmas illuminations - Regent Street, London, UK
9-shot, 180° stitched panorama of the Shanghai Shipyard Bridge. A dual steel bridge at the former "Shanghai No. 1 Shipyard" location in Pudong Lujiazui.
The bridge has been constructed over the exits of the former dry docks and is illuminated red at night. This is a part of the northern extension of the Lujiazui Riverside Promenade along the Huangpu River. A stretch of riverside that has been occupied by warehouses, quays and shipyards is converted into a park-like recreation area.
With the development of the Lujiazui Central Financial District Phase II in full swing, the riverside will be the recreational area of this mega-project.
On the right, in the distant background, is the Shanghai International Cruise Center, the downtown berthing point for large cruise ships.

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more”
― Lord Byron
apologies to my friends for i haven't been
around much this week,
been weathering a nasty stomach virus,
i promise to catch-up today!
happy sliderssunday!

Collage from 3 photos of fading purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) in late summer. The still beautifully colored flowers become paler and slowly turn into small sculptures.
An interesting and beautiful process to follow.
Collage uit 3 foto's van een uitgebloeide paarse-rode zonnehoed (Echinacea purpurea) tijdens de late zomer eind augustus tot eind september. De nog steeds attractief gekleurde bloemen worden bleker en veranderen langzaam in kleine sculpturen.
Een interessant en mooi proces om te volgen.
Deze opname is gemaakt in de Europese volière van zorgboerderij Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe.
