While walking around and capture on my camera the beauty of the city, I was asking questions to anybody who was willing to answer. That's how I found out about this cobblestone strip street beautiful after the rain. All the colors were so vibrant. I was told this was the most photographed place. This gentleman believed this was the only place left with the authentic cobblestones. Of course no cars are allowed.
Thanks for your visit and kind comments.
Authentic because its reference an old Dutch painting which I assume was plein air...or at least the artist knew what a "peasant farm" looked like. (Anthonie Jacobus van Wijngaerdt)
Anyway, I used Qwen's imaging editing model to completely change the lighting. Now it's golden hour on the farm. Here is the image before I changed the lighting: imgur.com/wiK96GG
I confess to being a romantic. But don't you think the pattern on the wall of the cottage is beautiful? Totally wabi sabi. An abstract painting in the middle of a realist portrait of life four centuries ago. Mathematical beauty incarnate.
A quiet sunset shared with my youngest daughter. We often visit this spot, and she named it 'Rock Bridge' because we leave pebbles gathered from the roadside on the railing. It's our thing.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.

A quick couple of posts this a.m.
Running around trying to get all my ducks in a row, so that I can head back down to Wildwood tomorrow. Then I can pretty much kick back and I'll be able to catch up with everyone.
Have a great day Peeps!
View of the Mae Klong River at Amphawa Floating Market. Amphawa is an authentic floating market located 50 km from Bangkok. This once small village was apparently already present in the mid-Seventeenth Century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that we went on Friday to avoid the crowds. The food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets. The main draw is of course eating seafood grilled on wooden boats moored.
Customers perch on rows of narrow steps leading down to the water and food is brought directly from the boats onto really tiny tables. There are restaurants with real tables and chairs and food venders everywhere.
Wooden shops along each side of the Wat Chula canal sell Amphawa souvenirs from T-shirts to some more interesting creations. In all streets radiating from the market you can find an incredible array of local food sold from small carts.
There are longtail boats to explore the surrounding canals and rivers. Fireflies can be seen along the river at night and there are several Buddhist temples.

This is a close-up HDR photo of a 100% recycled authentic glass mug, which I positioned in front of a red coffee cup. Photo taken in the Beandock Cafe in Shelburne, N.S..
One of the things I hate about being trans is just how plastic we are Barbie has nothing on us lot.
What I mean is basically without major surgery everything about us almost always fake. Some have their own hair but most of us wear a wig. some have a little bit more up top but once again more often than not its the silicone that gives us that uplifting feeling of a bosom. and lets face it we just don't have the hips for this girl lark.
So no wonder I feel at times something like a major fake!!!!
I like to be as authentic as possible and dispose of the fake assets I use when it is at all possible. Now I am blessed or cursed (pending on what me you are talking to) with a nice handful and bit in the bosom area and I sort of have something in the way of hips.
The above photo was an experiment to see if I could get away with not using any shapewear,
So in this I am not wearing a bra at all. no corset and nothing to give me hips. the bit that is fake is my hair. So in reality this is as authentic as I can get. Just wish I could ditch the wig.
Puro bellota cien por cien.
La montanera es la ultima fase de la cría del cerdo ibérico y consiste en dejar pastar al animal en la dehesas, donde se produce el engorde tradicional entre bosques de alcornoques y encinas, siendo su fruto, la bellota, el alimento fundamental antes del sacrificio. A este método de cebo solo se destinan los ejemplares mas aptos que hayan culminado las anteriores fases.
La fase de montanera va desde octubre a febrero, coincidiendo con el periodo de maduración de la bellota. Los animales entran en esta etapa con unos 90 kilogramos de peso y pueden llegar a terminar la misma con 160 en años de una buena cosecha de bellotas.
En la montanera, en oposición al sistema intensivo de producción, el cerdo ibérico vive en libertad en este espacio y permanece en movimiento, por lo que esta es la base de la calidad de su carne. De hecho, durante la montanera cada cerdo requiere de aproximadamente una hectárea de dehesa. En esta fase fundamental, la bellota, por su elevado contenido en hidratos de carbono, aporta energía al animal que se transformará en su famosa grasa infiltrada, y, junto a las hierbas, añadirán el peculiar perfume. Tras ser curado en sal y entre tres y cuatro años de secado, estará listo para ser disfrutado..
Authentic pure iberian ham with designation of origin.
The ¨montanera¨¨ is the last phase of the Iberian pig´s rearing and consists of letting the pig¨s graze in the pastures where the tradicional fattening process takes place among holm oak and cork oak forests. The acorn is the fundamental foodstuff before slaughter. Only the tallest specimens that have complited the previous stages are used for this fattening method.
The ¨montanera¨ season runs from October to February, coinciding with the acorn ripening period. The animals enter this stage with around 90 kilos and can end up with around 160 kilos in years of good acorn harvests. During the montanera, the pigs live freely in these spaces and remain in movement, which is the basis of the quality of their meat. In fact, each animal requires approximately one hectare of pastureland. The carbohydrate contant of acorns provides the animal with energy that will be transformed into fat infiltrated in its muscles and which give its peculiar scent. After curing with salt and drying for three to four years, it is ready to be anjoyed.
