The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster polder was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) in profile close-up. The hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is an Old World vulture. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes and is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It typically scavenges on carcasses. Although this is a common species, numbers of these birds are decreasing rapidly. Threats include poisoning, hunting and loss of habitat, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "critically endangered". It is a small species compared to most vultures.

===When you're low
And your knees can't rise
You feel helpless
And you're looking to the sky
Some people would say
To accept their fate
Well, if this is fate
Then we'll find a way to cheat
'Cause, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh we'll say a little prayer
But, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh if the answer isn't fair
You know you can call on me
When you need somebody
You know you can call on me
When you can't stop the tears from falling down, down, down
You know you can call on me
Call on me, darling
You know you can call on me
Call on me, darling (call on me)
When you're weary
And the road is dark
And I'll guide you
With the beating of my heart
And if the cavalry
And the help don't come
Well, then we'll find a way
To dodge a smoking gun
'Cause, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh we'll say a little prayer
But, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh if the answer isn't fair (then call on me)
You know you can call on me
When you need somebody
You know you can call on me
When you can't stop the tears from falling down, down, down
You know you can call on me
Call on me, darling
You know you can call on me
Call on me, darling (call on me)
When you're, you need someone (just call on me)
You need somebody to cling to (call on me)
When you're, you need someone (just call on me)
You need somebody to dry your tears
When you're, you need someone (you can call me)
You need somebody to cling to (just call on me)
Just call on me, love (just call on me)
Just call on me, love (call on me)
Just call on me, love (just call on me)
Just call on me, love (call on me)
Just call on me, love, on me===
On the far horizon, the setting sun.
Last beams of golden light search their way through the open window. A murmuring brook flows to the song of the birds outside. Wind gently brushes the cherry trees and carries the scent of flowers inside the quiet room. With a deep sigh he lifts his gaze from his graphic tablet, eying his work in a critical manner. Maybe it was time for a break? He turns towards u10. They've been quietly working side by side. It was a comfortable silence between them, that he rarely felt with others. A smile whisks over his face as he watches him.
A moment passes, before he gets up and disappears into the kitchen, only to return with a red fox cup, filled with fruit vinegar. He takes a seat on the edge of u10's pillow, gently he leaning onto him.
"Here.", he almost whispers, while passing the cup to him.
"Asahi-kun." A genuine smile spreads across u10's lips.
"Thank you.", he says accepting the cup. "We should take a break and stretch."
Asahi chuckles and thoughtfully he taps his chin with his index finger. "How about... would you like to watch a movie?"
"Hai!", u10 replies with a hearty laughter.
あなた は わたし の とくべつ です。
You are special to me.

Camera obscura (plural camera obscura or camerae obscurae from Latin, meaning "dark room": camera "(vaulted) chamber or room," and obscura "darkened, dark"), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen, as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.
The term "camera obscura" also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became popular as an aid for drawing and painting. The camera obscura box was developed further into the photographic camera in the first half of the 19th century when camera obscura boxes were used to expose light-sensitive materials to the projected image.
The camera obscura was used as a means to study eclipses, without the risk of damaging the eyes by looking into the sun directly. As a drawing aid, the camera obscura allowed tracing the projected image to produce a highly accurate representation, especially appreciated as an easy way to achieve a proper graphical perspective.
A camera obscura device without a lens but with a very small hole is sometimes referred to as a "pinhole camera", although this more often refers to simple (home-made) lens-less cameras in which photographic film or photographic paper is used.
The earliest known written record of the camera obscura is to be found in Chinese writings called Mozi and dated to the 4th century BCE, traditionally ascribed to and named for Mozi (circa 470 BCE-circa 391 BCE), a Han Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohist School of Logic. In these writings it is explained how the inverted image in a "collecting-point" or "treasure house" is inverted by an intersecting point (a pinhole) that collected the (rays of) light.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE), or possibly a follower of his ideas, touched upon the subject in the work Problems - Book XV, asking:
"Why is it that when the sun passes through quadri-laterals, as for instance in wickerwork, it does not produce a figure rectangular in shape but circular?”
and further on:
“Why is it that an eclipse of the sun, if one looks at it through a sieve or through leaves, such as a plane-tree or other broadleaved tree, or if one joins the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other, the rays are crescent-shaped where they reach the earth? Is it for the same reason as that when light shines through a rectangular peep-hole, it appears circular in the form of a cone?"
Many philosophers and scientists of the Western world would ponder this question before it became accepted that the circular and crescent-shapes described in this "problem" were actually pinhole image projections of the sun. Although a projected image will have the shape of the aperture when the light source, aperture and projection plane are close together, the projected image will have the shape of the light source when they are further apart.
“Clown” is a piece of digital art created using three iterations of the Double Exposure filter in Nik Analog Efex Pro. It was just a “muck around” image I used to create diagrams/screenshots for the third and final in a series of articles I’m writing on “Multiple Exposures in Photoshop” for the Artists Down Under magazine, but after some applications of textures and some colour grading I liked it enough to post. The original photo is from Midjourney. The three articles will be in the May, June and July issues of the magazine.
We left Melbourne last night for a couple of weeks touring around Tasmania, I will try to stay up to date on Flickr but please accept my apologies if I’m a bit slower than usual, and there’s perhaps a few less comments.

Been in SL since 2007.
This August 22nd I'll be 12 years in this world that I live in, just like I live in my RL. No lies at all!
I can't accept one simple lie - either in SL or in RL.
So, we met in this metaverse reality, like eight years ago?
You were never easy, I was never easy.
I'm not easy at all and you never left. Kept coming back to me, with your own truth and me with mine.
This is probably the last image we take ...
... before we meet in person!!
I only have to be grateful to you, the one who lever left. The only person who never left me, despite everything I carry - good or bad, you always believed in me, trusted me. This is priceless in life, either real or "imaginary".
Can't wait to see you!
This time, I know I'll be completely vulnerable.
Thank you M!

The Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht was commissioned by Ms Truus Schröder-Schräder, designed by the architect Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, and built in 1924. This small family house, with its interior, the flexible spatial arrangement, and the visual and formal qualities, was a manifesto of the ideals of the De Stijl group of artists and architects in the Netherlands in the 1920s, and has since been considered one of the icons of the Modern Movement in architecture.

This is absolutely true and possibly many will believe it is False and/or fanciful and because I needed it to be true….no matter because I know what I believe….
Many will know that my late husband Brendan was Irish…sadly he died aged 65 in 2012
4 years later I met Jonathan and we became friends and he walked his dog with myself and my dog Beau and Beau’s sibling Phoebe the pet belonged to my niece Mandy and we walked together for a year and a half then became a couple and married in 2017…We went to the Lincoln Christmas Market together in 2018 but I was desperately uncomfortable but I had gone every year with my soulmate husband Brendan. I wandered miserably from stall to stall till we came across a lady selling these peg doll Christmas tree fairy’s and I picked a beautiful one for my sister with blonde hair and a candy cane in her hand. I didn’t intend buying one for myself. However I stayed at the stall and couldn’t make myself leave - eventually telling the stall holder that I was drawn to the green fairy wearing a top hat hanging just above my head. “Oh she replied, that one’s an Irish fairy and if you look she’s holding a bunch of shamrock in her hands “
The feeling the went over and through my body can’t be imagined I’m sure. I just knew it was Brendan’s way of telling me everything was fine and I could go around the Christmas market with his blessing. I was and still am elated. This shot actually a blend of three shots and is of the fairy that still hangs in our bedroom. The the tiny seed head is balanced on a vase and I have a piece of original copper artwork and the orange and turquoise come through off that. How the copper settled so beautifully in the seed head remains a mystery. All shots were taken by my Nikon d850 and the blend and crop plus border done in photoshop…..now a tip for you. I took a shot minus the back border and had a free print photo that actually cost a little more because I had it upgraded to acrylic…they only expect smartphone shots so I took a photo of it and downloaded it as a screenshot and sent it to my mailbox and it was readily accepted and came back looking perfect 12 inch x 12 inch and is above a small oak table in my front room….Jonathan thinks it’s beautiful and I love it and feel comforted by it every day 😊
Btw….I have printed this myself too because a few people I know love it and fyi it print's off with these exact colours…been done over a year and never loses any vibrancy :)
Polly & Maggie agreement...

Coral Sunset Intersectional Itoh Peony .
A sunset in a flower! Aptly named for its awe-inspiring transformation from a radiant, vivid coral through a range of peaches, and finally, a creamy white colour, the flower is a masterpiece at every step of this sunset, and one might argue a bloom only improves with age. Unique from other coral varieties in that it opens with the most intense coral colour and has petals that are more ruffled, which perhaps contribute to a fuller appearance. Has a lower, more compact growing habit than Coral Charm. Mass plantings are recommended as flowers at different colour stages provide a visual riot in the landscape.
Side buds are possible, extending the bloom period. A favourite of the peony garden, this outstanding peony produces intense sunset coral, semi-double blossoms with rose overtones and a fluffy deep yellow stamens in the center. The lightly fragrant flowers are long lasting in fresh bouquets. ‘Coral Sunset’ blooms early in the peony season, around late spring in Ontario It is highly prized for its exemplary plant habit. and by florist as cut flower in bouquets.

It is generally accepted in research today that the monumental building known as the "Great Temple" did not serve religious worship, but was built as a representative royal reception hall. Discussions continue as to whether it could have been part of the royal palace, but the residential quarter right next to it is too small for that, and associated functional buildings (kitchen, stables, etc.) are missing. The previous designation "Great Temple" (origin of the name) is still in use, although now often in quotation marks or with the addition of "so-called". Occasionally, "South Building" (south of the Wadi Musa) may be found as well.
In the last quarter of the 1st century BC, as part of the monumental development of the center of Petra, the Nabataeans cut terraces deep into the bedrock of the Katute hill and laid out flat areas, traversed by channels for the drainage of rainwater. On this slope they constructed in several phases this largest freestanding architectural complex in Petra, a structure of 7560 m2 of floor space on three levels, the highest of which rises 25 m above the Colonnaded Street.

Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line (known as Cunard-White Star when the vessel entered service). Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, Queen Mary along with her running mate, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, were built as part of Cunard's planned two-ship weekly express service between Southampton, Cherbourg, and New York City. The two ships were a British response to the superliners built by German and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Queen Mary was the flagship of the Cunard Line from May 1936 until October 1946 when she was replaced in that role by Queen Elizabeth. The vessel also held the Blue Riband from 1936 to 1937 and then from 1938 to 1952 when she was beaten by the new SS United States.
Queen Mary sailed on her maiden voyage on 27 May 1936 and captured the Blue Riband in August of that year; she lost the title to SS Normandie in 1937 and recaptured it in 1938. With the outbreak of World War II, she was converted into a troopship and ferried Allied soldiers for the duration of the war. Following the war, Queen Mary was refitted for passenger service and along with Queen Elizabeth commenced the two-ship transatlantic passenger service for which the two ships were initially built. The two ships dominated the transatlantic passenger transportation market until the dawn of the jet age in the late 1950s. By the mid-1960s Queen Mary was aging and though still among the most popular transatlantic liners, was operating at a loss.
After several years of decreased profits for Cunard Line, Queen Mary was officially retired from service in 1967. She left Southampton for the last time on 31 October 1967 and sailed to the port of Long Beach, California, United States, where she remains permanently moored. Much of the machinery including two of the four steam turbines, three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers were removed, and the ship now serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants, a museum, and hotel. The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has accepted the Queen Mary to be part of the Historic Hotels of America.

Today was sunny. That's the good news. The winds were steady at 20mph, gusting to 30. That makes macro photography a bit of a challenge. Still, that was the calmest the winds have been in several days, so I went out. Some good results, some a bit less so. I liked this one.
Flickr is really screwed up right now. The kids doing Flickr coding right now haven't yet mastered CHECKING THEIR WORK. A number of features -- several related to groups -- have been messed up to the point of unusability. I spend most of my time in groups, so it is troubling.
Plus, though I am indeed using the most recent version of FF, every page gives me an unsupported browser -- please update -- error. Based on the HUNDREDS of postings to the Help forum, it is just a screw up of ponderous proportions. If you are NOT seeing the various problems, I can't even guess why not...though I know most of my contacts do not participate in groups.
If I fall behind in commenting -- every photo page access is a hassle -- I'll try to make it up once Flickr gets its game together YET AGAIN.
