Project 365.2021: 057 Florida Avenue
While waiting for traffic to clear at a stoplight on Florida Ave, this cyclist blew right by a line of stopped cars and gave thought to at least one motorist of warmer, freer days ahead.

The Viking Age (793–1066 AD) was the period during the Middle Ages when Norsemen known as Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest, and trading throughout Europe, and reached North America.
It followed the Migration Period and the Germanic Iron Age.[7] The Viking Age applies not only to their homeland of Scandinavia, but to any place significantly settled by Scandinavians during the period.[3] The Scandinavians of the Viking Age are often referred to as Vikings as well as Norsemen, although few of them were Vikings in the technical sense.
Voyaging by sea from their homelands in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the Norse people settled in the British Isles, Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Normandy, the Baltic coast, and along the Dnieper and Volga trade routes in eastern Europe, where they were also known as Varangians. They also briefly settled in Newfoundland, becoming the first Europeans to reach North America. The Norse-Gaels, Normans, Rus' people, Faroese and Icelanders emerged from these Norse colonies.
The Vikings founded several kingdoms and earldoms in Europe: the kingdom of the Isles (Suðreyjar), Orkney (Norðreyjar), York (Jórvík) and the Danelaw (Danalǫg), Dublin (Dyflin), Normandy, and Kievan Rus' (Garðaríki). The Norse homelands were also unified into larger kingdoms during the Viking Age, and the short-lived North Sea Empire included large swathes of Scandinavia and Britain.
Several things drove this expansion. The Vikings were drawn by the growth of wealthy towns and monasteries overseas, and weak kingdoms. They may also have been pushed to leave their homeland by overpopulation, lack of good farmland, and political strife arising from the unification of Norway. The aggressive expansion of the Carolingian Empire and forced conversion of the neighboring Saxons to Christianity may also have been a factor.
Sailing innovations had allowed the Vikings to sail further and longer to begin with.
Information about the Viking Age is drawn largely from primary sources written by those the Vikings encountered, as well as archaeology, supplemented with secondary sources such as the Icelandic Sagas.

Roath Park, Cardiff, 31 January and 3 February 2021. Mellow winter sunshine illuminates the open stretch of water and the bridge beyond, but keeps the waterfall in the shade of trees, as it will be for most of the year. By the time the sun has risen high enough in the sky to reach here, the burgeoning leaves will obscure it.
This is the Roath Brook, which flows out of Roath Park Lake, to which it flows in as the Nant Fawr stream, whose source is near Cefn Onn, at the very northern edge of Cardiff. From Roath Park it heads through a succession of interlinked parklands towards its outflow into the Rhymney River. A footpath provides a near six mile 'rural' walk through an urban environment.
Design: November 2021
Paper: 12" square of watercolour paper

I will share the folding sequence for this Angel at Origami Groep Eindhoven's Christmas event on December 19, 2021. Further details will be available on: origamieindhoven.wixsite.com/fold.
Jolette (@origedoe) and Chinmay (@kagadmodya) have done an excellent job of growing the community and this would be Origami Groep Eindhoven's second Christmas event. My "odd-man-out" session would be in the midst of sessions by great masters like Yara Yagi (@yagiyara), Michal Kosmulski (@mkosmul), Ilan Garibi (@garibiilan), Oriol Esteve (@oriol.esteve.origami), Adriano Mariani (@adrymagic), Nick Robinson (@nickorigami), Pierre-Yves Gallard (@origallard), Riccardo Foschi, Paolo Bascetta and Jannie van Schuylenberg.
I would like to dedicate this design to my dear ori-brother Fabian (@fabianco11) - one of the greatest designers of minimal origami, in my opinion. And, he is a fine papermaker as well!
There is a little story that goes with this Angel's design. It had slipped my mind and when the phone trilled a reminder of the deadline, I was at a workshop and wouldn't be home for hours. What was I to do! A funny thought ran through and I picked up a sheet of paper. I silently spoke to that sheet that it would be a new Christmas Origami design by midnight and kept it away. That ridiculous ritual aside, that sheet of paper DID end up as the first draft of this angel. I had a hearty chuckle when I thought about this later. Uncle Pai always used to tell me that we should reduce self-chatter to be focused. Now, I think, maybe it is ok to allow the inner chatter to be vocal. Probably the silent dialogue began a process in the sub-conscious that revealed itself as this design.
I will see you all at the event and, hopefully, it would be fun to fold this little Christmas Angel. :)

Ich habe neulich in einem Magazin Bilder eines Fotografen gesehen, der ICM und Infrarotfotografie miteinander verbindet. Die Bilder waren großartig, das musste ich auch mal ausprobieren.
52 weeks of 2021
Week #6 ~ Infrared
I don't have an infrared filter, so was relying on post-processing to achieve the aim for this week. I tried a couple of channel mixing variations but the best result came from the b&w filter in Photoshop and there is an infrared option in the drop down menu (who knew!). This gave the nicest result for me.
and 2021 bring hope and normality. A Happy New Year to all friends here on Flickr. And everyone else too if you pass by.
And how can a new year start better than with an almost new AC/DC album? www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpMVBqSWbsA
Or, if you are more into a little softer music, here is John Anderson from a year ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FARZGM8Wk0
After an unusually dry April this waterfall and direction change in the River Garnock look different from normal as things seem to be extremely dry for time of year.
