Anything can happen. You know how Jupiter
Will mostly wait for clouds to gather head
Before he hurls the lightning? Well, just now
He galloped his thunder cart and his horses
Across a clear blue sky. It shook the earth
And the clogged underearth, the River Styx,
The winding streams, the Atlantic shore itself.
Anything can happen, the tallest towers
Be overturned, those in high places daunted,
Those overlooked regarded. Stropped-beak Fortune
Swoops, making the air gasp, tearing the crest off one,
Setting it down bleeding on the next.
Ground gives. The heaven’s weight
Lifts up off Atlas like a kettle-lid.
Capstones shift, nothing resettles right.
Telluric ash and fire-spores boil away.
Seamus Heaney, 1939-2013
Kirkjufell, Iceland
For years I avoided doing anything about this image because I felt it was not a strong enough composition. Lately however, I've seen quite a few pictures of Kirkjufell in isolation with its reflection. What do you think- does it need something more to anchor it in the foreground?
I check on her before I go to bed, how can you not look forward to getting up again the next day?

Good morning Cricklewood! What do you think of my Goodies so far? Tim I'm really happy with, he's pretty much done, Graeme is fairly good but finding a face with mutton chops and glasses isn't easy, it seems to be the case that you either get one or the other, not both. Bill is the least convincing; he needs a yellow shirt under a black vest (did Han have one of those?) and his facial hair I'm not sold on. Maybe I'll try the goatee that he had. Any suggestions are most welcome.

No, at least not yet. Everything is still picture-perfect. OUR dog is a happy, white, good-smelling puppy.

Is there anything in the universe more beautiful and protective than the simple complexity of a spider's web?

Damrak... I love this place more than anything else in Amsterdam. It was the place of my first staying here in Amsterdam. Many years ago I arrived to the Amsterdam Centraal by the train from Germany, where I’ve been by my Berliner friends... I had my booked hotel on Damrak but didn’t know how to find it. It was rainy, cold weather but a lot of people on the streets... My first impression was that so many bees with a noise got into left or right beehive... of course coffeeshops and restaurants. When I asked someone from the people I traveled together from Berlin, may be he knows where is my hotel - I got an answer: I have to figure out where I’m myself right now... It’s Amsterdam, city for everyone, who always can find here every thing he wants...
By the way Damrak, the street where located my hotel was very close to the train station and I found it pretty soon. After that, I’m staying in a same hotel Amsterdam on Damrak right near the restaurant De Roode Leeuw (Red Lion) every time I'm coming here . My memory stays with me up to now, especially the weather was the same, like my first time in this city...
The Damrak is a partly filled in canal at the centre of Amsterdam, between Amsterdam Centraal railway station and Dam Square, running north-south. It is the main street where people arriving at the station enter the centre of Amsterdam. Because of the former stock exchange building, the monumental Beurs van Berlage (now used for other purposes), and several other buildings related to financial activities erected there in the early 20th century, the term "Damrak" has come to be a synonym for the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the same way "Wall Street" is synonymous with the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.
The street was located on a rak (reach), a straight part of the Amstel river near a dam; hence the name. In the 19th century, a section of it was filled in.

It's that feeling you get, where you can feel yourself losing somebody and you know its out of your control. You can't do anything about it. It just feels like someone is ripping out pieces of you until you're completely empty.

It's not the words aren't there but they'd only fail my emotions
Just want to feel this way without chaining you down to some old cliche
You want water in my hands and we stand waist deep in the ocean
It's bigger than the sea, it won't let me
Baby I know you try but sometimes I still want to hear it
Even when the waters calm but lately it's just when there's something wrong
Why can't we splash around and hold on to that playful spirit
Oh like we used to do and won't you
Say anything, save everything
Give me just one word, you can scream or whisper
If you want to stay with me tell me why
Say anything
Say anything, feel everything
I want to be with you so this love can fly
We'll hang on every word and we'll scream, we'll whisper
This moment is waiting for you and I
Say anything
Say anything..

Clearly, JenT of Pencilprism will do anything for the shot. She also stays still for long periods of time, even without being instructed.
Note: this may or may not have been Gaddafi's residence. More from Toronto rooftops. Press "L".

Staithes, North-Yorkshire Heritage Coast... we had combed the beaches, the quay-sides, boats, we'd met new people and chatted, yes taken loads of images.
The tide was coming in fast, the sun was getting lower... we rested out in the shade on a bench, before going for a meal, taking it all in, when this little chap in a bright yellow T-shirt, green net over his shoulder, accompanied by his faithful friend appeared in front of us...
Another treasured moment!
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Is there anything else that could go wrong with Flickr? Almost everything I try to do, it either doesn't work or only works sometimes. Ridiculous!
Two days ago, on 13 December 2017, I was out on the road by 9:20 am, which is a miracle in itself. I find it almost impossible to get out early when I am going for a drive by myself. I didn't have any photos edited ready to post that morning, which helped. Seeing snowflake icons in the forecast for too many of the days this coming week, I thought I had better take a drive SE of the city while the roads were clear. I was lucky with the clouds in the morning, but it did cloud over in the afternoon. I always stop and take a few photos of this beautiful little country church when I happen to be on this road. Actually, this tiny church was used in a movie - Brokeback Mountain.
"Although the tiny town of Dinton, AB does not appear on most maps, it now occupies a place in motion picture history. Locations Manager Darryl Solly was asked to find a “small unadorned church” for the del Mar wedding scene in the movie, Brokeback Mountain. The unassuming Anglican chapel at Dinton, built by prairie pioneers in 1906, shown here in these exclusive pre-production photos, was the perfect spot for Alma and Ennis to be married."
The movie stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams and depicts the complex romantic and sexual relationship between two men in the American West from 1963 to 1983.

My hope was to maybe find a Snowy Owl in this whole area, like I had done in previous years. I knew I would probably have more luck if I drove the back roads NE of the city, but I didn't feel like driving that far. No luck finding a Snowy Owl and, in fact, there were barely any birds of any kind to be seen - just a small flock of Common Redpolls and two or three Magpies. At least I knew that I would pass several old barns that I have photographed on previous occasions. It just felt good to be in such scenery on a beautiful, sunny day. That is, until I somehow got lost on the way back home. I looked on Google Earth last night and I now know where I went wrong. Seeing a huge road sign that said North Calgary, I wasn't sure if I would end up on the dreaded Deerfoot Trail, like happened last time I was out in that area. So, I kept driving straight and found myself in a fairly built-up area that I had never been in before. Ended up driving back the way I had come until I was on familiar ground. A long way and a lot of wasted time! Total round trip was 333 km.
Our temperature this morning is 3C, much cooler than what we have been having the last while. The forecast for tonight and tomorrow is for a few snow flurries, then a couple of nice days before the snow returns, just in time for the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Counts. Looks like we may be getting a white Christmas after all. Everywhere is bone dry and firefighters were battling a grass fire just the other day, so moisture is much-needed. Crazy in December!
