Sherkin Island Lighthouse
Dieser Leuchtturm wurde 1885 erbaut, es ist eine gusseisene Konstruktion mit einem gusseisernem Balkon.
Der Turm bildet zusammen mit dem Leuchtturmwärterhaus ein historisches Architekturdenkmal.
I had a long chat on Zoom the other day with Lady Amanda Barclay, who (as you probably know) is managing The Salon during my prolonged absence.
Lady Amanda told me that they were very busy during the Coronation weekend. Lord Belcher, Lord Bromley, Lord Fanshawe, Lord Quentin Mowbray and Lord Trent were all in a sulk about not having been invited io the Coronation itself. So Lord Belcher organized a lingerie party at The Salon, with all of our regular girls, and a few extra performers thrown in for good measure.
Their Noble Lordships all had a fabulous time with our girls! Around about midnight – when the orgy had reached its peak – Lord Trent was heard to remark: “Where would you all rather be right now, boys? Here, or in Westminster Abbey?”
Toodle Pip!
Love and Kisses to all my Friends and Fans!

PRUNETTO, one of the many small villages of the Langa. The town is located on the ridge between the Bormida Valley and the Uzzone Valley and is dominated by the 12th century Del Carretto Castle and the interesting 14th century Sanctuary of the Madonna del Carmine. Piedmont, ITALY.

The views from anywhere along the summit ridge are spectacular. The northwest side of the ridge is dominated by Cerro Tronador with Volcan Osorno and Puntiagudo clearly visible in Chile in the distance.

John Ford Point, popular filming location for westerns, with the table mountain Merrick Butte in the background.
It was a wonderful early morning in Monument Valley. I took the Scenic Loop Drive for the 3rd time, but it was the first time that I visited the John Ford Point - and I think it was worth while - well knowing that my photograph sells more of a wonderful illusion.

John Ford Point, beliebter Drehort für Western, mit dem Tafelberg Merrick Butte im Hintergrund.
Es war ein wundervoller früher Morgen im Monument Valley. Ich nahm den Scenic Loop Drive zum 3. Mal, aber es war das erste Mal, dass ich den John Ford Point besuchte - und ich denke, es hat sich gelohnt - wohl wissend, dass mein Foto eher eine wunderbare Illusion verkauft.
BRENTA DOLOMITES, central sector of the West side. UNESCO, Surroundings of Madonna di Campiglio, Trentino-Alto Adige/Sudtirol, ITALY. EXPLORE 14-03-2023.
View of the Alaska Range, including Mount Foraker (17,400 ft/5304 m), Mount Hunter/Begguya (14,573 ft/4442 m), and Denali (20,310 feet/6190 m), from Talkeetna, Alaska
Having not had the opportunity to see Denali (the tallest peak in North America) on my previous trip to Alaska, it was high on my wish list for this trip. Unfortunately our helicopter flightseeing tour was canceled due to fog, so my hopes rested on a trip up to the town of Talkeetna. After two days of clouds and snow, the weather was not looking promising; as we drove out of Anchorage, the sky remained gray and occasionally spitting icy flakes.
For much of the drive through miles of snow-covered boreal forest, past small communities and long stretches of nothing but snow and trees (and the occasional moose, which thrilled both my daughter and I), the forest blocked the view toward the mountains. As we turned off the highway toward Talkeetna however, the trees began to thin out and I could catch an occasional glimpse of the the Alaska Range, and what I thought was a hint of blue sky. My hopes rose - perhaps there would be a chance to see Denali after all.
Then the road turned and suddenly, ahead of me I could see it, the glorious Alaska Range, bathed in brilliant sunshine, laying just underneath a thick layer of clouds! My next thought was to hope that the clouds would not descend again before I reached the overlook pullout above Talkeetna. Luck was on my side however, as Denali and the other majestic peaks remained in clear view not only from the overlook but long enough to marvel at an unobstructed view from down in the town. (The snowy foreground here is actually the Talkeetna river, frozen and covered with deep snow.)
It was an absolutely breathtaking sight to witness, and I stood there with a mixture of awe and reverence as the view and the moment soaked deeply into my soul. It is a memory that I will carry with me for a long time.
THROWING ROOTS
In the easternmost parts of the humid forest, the cordillera cypress and the coihue grow together.
However, here, the rock that emerges in these shallow soils where only these cypress specimens resist can be seen.
I wish you all a nice weekend, my friends!
At the end of a wonderful hike, we were rewarded with this great panorama!

A labor of love with my sister who built Marriage!
We decided to go for a well-known story since... really, how is anyone supposed to develop an entire love story in two MOCs? Have you seen how many preludes W. Navarre has been doing?? XD
What a neat but challenging scale to try out! Credit to my sis for the basic head design and then we both took it in slightly different directions. I built complete figures so those'll are in the extra pictures on my Insta.
And more angles of Toothless of course. Speaking of Toothless... so, I do like building dragons, but I don't like building them in black. XD However, many groans and a trip to a Bricks & Minfigures store later, it came together... It's about twice as big as my last attempt!

Civilization has forgotten what indigenous cultures always knew: all living beings have a soul. God doesn’t create disposable life forms.
When I photograph creatures, I tune into their essence & awareness, and share their indifference to what science believes about them.
Reptiles and amphibians obviously don’t know what a camera is, but some can sense when they’re being appreciated and loved. That’s partly why I’m able to get so close.
Odra river covered in morning, autumn fog. In the foreground in the center there is Opatowicki Weir. It connects two islands - the left shore is Opatowicka Island, while the right shore is Wielka Wyspa (The Big Island). On the horizon the city centre buildings can be seen.

Whitley County, Indiana
In and around Columbia City, Indiana there are a few poles still standing along the old Pennsylvania Railroad mainline now (CF&E) that ran between Pittsburgh and Chicago. This pole line was abandoned shortly after Amtrak left the line in 1990 and the railroad became dark territory.
In 1972 my friends and I started insulator hunting along this railroad around the Fort Wayne, IN area. Sometimes we would ride our bikes over 15 miles to get to our destinations. By the year 2000, I had covered every mile of this railroad between Crestline, Ohio to Plymouth, Indiana.
On the top crossarm are four CD 145 H.G.CO. Petticoat beehives and two CD 152 Brookfield hoopskirts with sdp's that came home with me. Petticoat and CREB beehives were very common along this line.
