I haven't seen a decent sunset for some time, there always seems to be a bank of low cloud sitting over Devon. It had been a wonderful afternoon, with not a breath of wind to stir the surface of the rock pools . Even the fish were behaving themselves. It was just the best place to be at that moment of time, as the sky slowly took on hints of purple and pink :)) I absentmindedly wandered across the beach in a euphoric state, checking out the various rocks for possibilities. I then realised i hadn't done a sunset in my immersing myself in
nature series. So Citizen of Glass by Agnes Obel it is, I'm hoping I'm almost transparent :)))
Spiral staircase at the Citizen M hotel in Southwark, South London.
Thanks to Sean Batten for sharing a map of spiral staircases across London.
Looking forward to seeing you on YouTube on the 5th December when I'll upload a video of some of my best photos to my channel, Sights and Scenes.
ENG: The Pankow Citizens' Park is a 12 hectare park area along the Panke (small river) in Berlin. It was renovated as a country estate in 1864 and acquired by the community of Pankow in 1907. The public green area offers a lot of recreation, playgrounds or a small library as well as a beer garden and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Pankow Town Hall in the district of Pankow. But the park is without direct connection to the special train to Pankow. 😀
GER: Der Bürgerpark Pankow ist ein 12 Hektar großes Parkgelände längs der Panke (kleiner Fluss) in Berlin. Er wurde etwa 1864 als Landsitz hergerichtet und 1907 von der Gemeinde Pankow erworben. Die öffentlich zugängige Grünanlage bietet viel Erholung, sowie Spielplätze oder auch eine kleine Bibliothek sowie einen Biergarten und befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Pankower Rathaus im Bezirk Pankow. Aber der Park ist ohne direkter Verbindung zum Sonderzug nach Pankow. 😀
What I want to challenge people so limited in thinking that they want every country to only include rich white wealthy folks is not just how much we benefit from an exchange of ideas but also how everyone is a citizen of the world and if we do not work together in terms of conserving resources and combatting climate change, that world will cease to exist for everyone but Elon Musk orbiting forever in his rocket ship. So, if you are reading this and you aren’t Elon Musk, start asking yourself what you can do as a citizen of the world and stop falling prey to ideas manufactured by the government to keep you hateful and distracted from what really matters. They say there is never money for the environment or for refugees but as soon as people need to be killed in war, they always seem to find some serious cash in the government couch cushions.

Previously unpublished shot from January 2018. Enjoy!
The Georgia-Pacific mill in Toledo is owned by the Koch Brothers. I guess whatever it spews forth is protected speech.
Macro Mondays them for June 2 is "Watch." You'll note that the only hands in this picture belong to this watch.
"Yay! Another spiral staircase" I hear you shout, It is but this is one of my favourites from my trip to London last week.
This lovely spiral is in the Bankside Citizen M hotel in Southwark. I didn't set up any appointments for this one, I just walked in and spoke to the girl at the desk and she was more than happy for me to spend a bit of time to get the photos I wanted. It's a fun and challenging location to shoot at as there isn't much room underneath the staircase and it involves a bit of crawling around on the floor.
I set up my camera on my mini tripod and with the omnidirectional screen on my camera I was able to find my composition without breaking my back in the process.
citizenM is a Netherlands based hotel chain. It opened its first hotel at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in 2008, followed by one in city of Amsterdam itself in 2009. Its first overseas hotel in Glasgow opened in 2010, followed by one in London in 2012.
The staircase itself was built in Leiden in Holland and then shipped over to the UK and installed into the hotel.
Yes, I realise this topic has already been talked over many times on our humble photo gallery. This time however, we have another big developement in front of us.
The famous Polish ban on photography had not really been in power, no matter what any person said. You were fully permitted to photograph anything you want, as long as you were on public grounds, which is a reasonable idea. All is to change now though.
My first post in this "no photo" topic has been published on 6.02.2024, when the Polish Ministry of National Defence published a draft of the ordinance containing the description of a "Photography forbidden" sign, along with many other things. This ordinance is what is required for the photo ban to be implemented in practice, as per a law published all the way back in 2022. The draft remained all that, just a draft, up until... this very day, 3.04.2025. It is now a full-blown ordinance of the allmighty Minister himself.
The published version can be seen on the official government service Dziennik Ustaw - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU
The ordinance itself, numbered 432 can be seen here - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU/2025/432 - contains a PDF file with the ordinance and a graphical display of the sign.
From now on, any person responsible for the security of an object of critical infrastructure (whatever that means...) will be able to hang out these legal signs and there is nothing the poor citizen can do about this, even when standing on public grounds.
*The ordinance comes into effect 14 days after its publishing, you have time until the 17th of April. For real now.*

Citizen M Hotel on Holywell Lane in Shoreditch faces onto a wall that regularly features painted advertising murals. These classical pots in funky colours are (I think) for Royal Doulton.
Piscataway Park is directly across from Mount Vernon. The land was purchased by private citizens in the mid-50's to preserve the view that George Washington would have had back in the 1700's. The land was subsequently given to the National Park Service. It's about 1.5 miles across the Potomac at this point.
Several more photos from Piscataway are here: www.flickr.com/gp/gary_w_house/e2946Q

The world was shocked by a shooting in Paris on Wednesday at the offices of a satirical French magazine that left twelve dead.
French citizens immediately took to social media to share their support for and solidarity with the publication, Charlie Hebdo, bonding together and saying: "I AM Charlie..."
In effect, we are all Charlie.
