Actually 21 years is far too old for such a wine but this forgotten bottle was a surprise. Still very complex and elegant with black currant notes.
Eigentlich sind 21 Jahre viel zu alt für einen solchen Wein, aber diese vergessene Flasche war eine Überraschung: Immer noch elegant und vielschichtig mit Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere.
The Bronze Age - taken all the way in 2016(and only edited a couple of years ago) at my beloved Bronte Pool of the teenage boys and girls who hang out by the ropes on the ocean during the summer and are deeply tanned and bronzed. And it has been such an age since I have posted on here and connected with my wonderful Flickr community.
My love of photography continues however my platform now is Instagram(username: rosiebondi). I still use Flickr to store my photos however I have not gone public on here for nearly 4 years and a couple of my (very bad) un edited shots went live this evening and a couple of lovely pals - David and Roberto(tagged in this photo) - said hi. It brought back a flood of feelings for the wonderful people and friends that I made on here. I have made connections on Instagram too however nothing compares to the level of interaction and the kindness and support that I experienced on Flickr. Flick is always home to me.
In the last year I have been getting into analog and specifically medium format and specifically Mamiya (as it has a rangefinder feel and Ms. Leica M9 likes having Ms. Mamiya as a companion). So I am going backwards in time with my photography and will make more time to post on here again and not leave such an age again. Bear with me whilst I catch up with you guys xx
Cattails past their prime but still managing to show off a bit. Aging gracefully? No problem, they've got this!
Seen at a nearby arboretum on the first sunny weekend in ages. No rain, but plenty of biting wind to remind us it's still winter.
A couple of local jobs switching around Pomona Yard, both sporting former N&W SD40-2s, pause beside each other for a moment, allowing one to see the distinct differences that time has brought to these sister engines.
Another riding lesson. Just playing around with aging effects. I thought this looked cool, well as cool as it can get with me in the photo!
The use the pool gets is just, well, worth the time it needs to maintain it. The different genders and even age groups have their time slots that are sometimes even fraught over. We all love the pool so much, especially when the max temperature on our thermometer reads 45degrees above. In the sun[that's were we are anyhow...]
The young boys [6 years] are now learning to dive, while i have advanced to doing back and front flips...with slap protecting life jackets :).
[i hope nobody gets mad at me for posting these...]
🇫🇷 À côté, durant l’âge du Bronze final, on construisit la ‘cabane des réunions’, dotée de banc en anneau, sur lequel s’asseyaient les personnalités les plus influentes de la communauté. Il y a presque cent cabanes pour le village (5 hectares), distribuées en petits blocs et en grande partie encore à découvrir.
🇬🇧 Next to it, during the Late Bronze Age, the "meeting hut" was built, with circular benches on which the most influential people in the community sat. There are almost a hundred huts in the village (5 hectares), distributed in small blocks, most of which have yet to be discovered.
🇮🇹 Accanto ad essa, durante il Bronzo Finale, fu costruita la “capanna delle riunioni”, completa di panche a forma di anello su cui sedevano le figure più influenti della comunità. Nel villaggio (5 ettari) si contano quasi un centinaio di capanne, distribuite in piccoli blocchi, la maggior parte delle quali non è ancora stata scoperta.
🇩🇪 Daneben wurde in der Spätbronzezeit die „Versammlungshütte“ mit einer ringförmigen Bank errichtet, auf der die einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Gemeinschaft saßen. Für die Siedlung (5 ha) gibt es fast 100 Hütten, die in kleinen Blöcken verteilt sind und von denen die meisten noch nicht entdeckt wurden.
🇪🇸 Junto a ella, durante el Bronce Final, se construyó la «cabaña de reunión», con bancos en forma de anillo en los que se sentaban los personajes más influyentes de la comunidad. El poblado, de 5 hectáreas, cuenta con casi un centenar de cabañas distribuidas en pequeños bloques, la mayoría aún por descubrir.
During the archaeological excavations in 1995, archaeologists found traces, in the form of post holes, of a large longhouse from the older Iron Age. The house, which was South facing, measured approx. 8m x 47m and had 17 roof-bearing pairs of posts. Previously, only one longhouse in Norway with such dimensions had been discovered, the gildehall at Fossanmoen in Forsand municipality in Rogaland.
Traces of three fireplaces have been found in the longhouse on Veien. At two of the fireplaces, the posts were pulled out to the side, so that the rooms became larger. At the north end, traces have been found that suggest that there may have been livestock at that end of the house. Size and location taken into account make the archaeologists think the longhouse may have been something more than a house with a barn at one end, perhaps a banquet hall. Carbon dating has confirmed that the coal remains from the post holes date to the years 50-70 AD.
The longhouse was officially inaugurated on 10th May 2005. Crown Prince Haakon laid the foundation stone during Hønefoss`s 150th anniversary celebration on 22nd April 2002. The walls are 50cm thick, constructed of double wicker reinforcement and smeared with clay on the outside and inside. During the construction, more than 100 tonnes of clay, 500m² of twigs, approx. 2,500m² of birch bark and approx. 50,000 wooden plugs were used.

I was supposed to meet a friend for dinner this evening but she ended up having car trouble and couldn't make it.
Scott has already gone out to the dog park and to pick up his dinner so I was left on my own for photo finding.
Well, I had these peonies hanging around and by the looks of it, I was on my last chance to get a shot of them.
No problem, I was due for a still life anyway.
I had a lot of fun setting this up. I should really try to resist the bird temptation a little more to build on my still life collection.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

My daughters' elementary school had a big outdoor ice cream social and they volunteered me to the principal to take yearbook photos. How could I say no(on 2 hours notice) since it is a chance to build up the old portfolio? The lighting was a horrible challenge because the sun was already setting at 6PM when it started, but I messed about with my ISO and my flash and got some things to work. The fire department was there with the ladder truck giving ladder rides - I would have loved to go up and take pics down but it I couldn't bring myself to take up a little kid's place in line! Kids could also explore a police car and a number of city officials were there as many of their children go to this public school(for you Brits, I think you call it a private school - it is run by the local government). The DJ spun music all evening and the free ice cream and hot fudge were flowing!
Reconstruction of an Iron Age House (~600 AD) with sod roof and sunken drystone wall foundation, uncovered by a 1993 storm on Bosa Beach after centuries of preservation by overlying sands, Great Bernera Island, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The early inhabitants chose a spectacular location for their dwelling, in a protected valley with a freshwater stream, surrounded by rocky hills, leading down to a beautiful beach.

My beautiful old girl Ceilidh, still a bit crazy after all these years, although much slower! After over 13 years, we can finally let her off the lead as she is not inclined to run off. With her various health issues, last autumn we didn't think she'd make it to Christmas...then New Years...then her birthday at the end of January - but today she is still happy, always wanting her food and (short) walkies.
My first attempt using the Lensbaby Velvet 56 as a portrait lens at f4 with an uncooperative subject - lots of room for improvement (but otherwise it would be boring).
The shape of the Mandragora Root often resembles the silhouette of a human being, which is probably why talismans were carved from them - figurines in human shapes, the so-called "homunculus" or animated mandrakes...
Mandragora Officinarum has been considered a magical plant around which many superstitions, beliefs and magical practices have grown. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a panacea.
When I was younger and learning how to garden, flowers in fall meant only one thing to me - compost.
Now, in my fifties, I have an endless fascination for these golden, aging beauties. Coincidence? I think not :)
Nature will forever by my teacher.
