Continuing with the span of the Forth Bridge with the Mossmorran flame effect from Sunday. Again that's the flame just past the first span on the left, boom what a sky !
my life to be continue that even thought my precious person was gone.
the day that untile i could not to remenber,
for what i should to see what i should to do what i should to breath.
Blatant trespassing, nearly getting hit by a dump truck and almost falling on my face are the stakes we take to get a glimpse of the steel industry in all it's gritty (one might argue a bit too gritty, perfect to me though!) glory.
We're standing on the "private" bridge to get into Indiana Harbor Works West - formerly LTV, now ArcelorMittal. We're in the WAY blue hour, It's fairly cold out, very foggy and a light snow is starting to fall. But what exactly's in front of us? One of the several Blast Furnaces upper left, several rolling and coating mills left into center, coke facilities to the rightish and loads and loads of slag in front of us. Of course, I had to incorporate rails into it, so looking center right will reveal one of Arcelor's plant switchers (complete with slug), and well over a hundred coke hoppers behind. Remember the SCIH coke train from last weekend? All of it starts right there. Just goes to show (once more) that industry still continues to pop around me, regardless of the common opinion.
This view is risky - but thanks to the help of friends, I was able to run over and grab this real quick. Security certainly saw me shooting though, time to bail!
Another of the magnificent dead trees on the slopes of mount Hautua, plus a magnificent view to the mountains and fjord. I don't often do a frame like this, but I couldn't resist.
Continuing the practice of posting on Bank Holidays, we have this lovely, happy, and varied group from the Poole Collection. At least three generations of a family gathered with lots of smiles and happy faces, and all centred around a fine looking dog!
Today in Ireland is a Bank Holiday celebrating May Day (just a bit late), and normally a great time for trips away, but not this year. Hopefully we will be out and about again soon?

Originally a Romanesque Basilica with 3 naves was under construction by the Order of Teutonic Knights installed in the Land of Bârsa in the first decades of the 13th century in Feldioara, Prejmer, Râșnov and Sânpetru. However, the first documentary attestation of the establishment dates from March 21, 1240, 15 years after the expulsion of the Teutonic Knights from these territories by the Cistercians of Carta. Most of the construction elements of this basilica have been preserved. The interior of the church is quite heterogeneous, so that in addition to the Cistercian elements (the four-lobed windows pierced above the pointed arched ones) several elements from various other periods are preserved. The central nave was vaulted in 1595, after a fire which devastated both the town and the fortress. The eastern side has a beautiful portal with a late Gothic trilobed arched doorway.
In the 15th century, the community tried to transform the basilica in Gothic style, but the work did not continue beyond the belfry of the bell tower with its 32 meters high. On the ground floor, the bell tower resembles a cross vaulted portico with a typical Cistercian profile. The third level has three niches with ramparts, like the next one, the bells being on the fifth level. The upper levels were added two centuries later and are constructed of limestone tuff. The guard path lasted until the 18th century. An interesting element is the clock with a single hand, which indicates the hours and dates of the 16th century. The turrets at the corners of the roof signified, as in the case of other churches, the authority of “ius gladii” that Harman possessed.
The fortification consisting of a triple cordon of concentric curtain walls surrounding the church was built in the 15th century. The shorter outer wall, only 4.5 meters high, was intended to protect the base of the enclosure. At the same time, it demarcated the water ditch that surrounded the fortress. The third string of curtains which surrounded the water ditch is no longer preserved. The inner wall, 12 meters high, had seven towers. The whole enclosure was covered with a guard rail which communicated with all the towers. The northern part was a swampy area, so the fortress wall was lower and was only equipped with springs. In front of the entrance was a barbican with two harrows, and above it was the butchers' tower. At the beginning of the 17th century, the short entrance passageway was erected, like that of Prejmer.

Happy Miniature Sunday!
The sun is shining and it's finally getting warmer in our Toronto, so I just had to cast some globular digi-magic, plus textures, on my homey little planet :-)
Continuing my Bob hair style and more refined look adventure, suede boots and a V.T.D. Very Tight Dress still gave me a tingle. xxx.

Continue to do the overlayering artwork creation, and this bunch concept is focus at the " missing emotion" .
Through the combination & overlayering among the dove, the tree and the water , I aim to create a emotional mood of missing someone it love.
Continuing the photos from Salisbury, here is First West of England Volvo B7RLE 69508 arriving into the city on a D1 from Bath. Route 265 was rebranded a few years ago and received an upgrade with the regular allocaiton of these high-backed seated, former Bristol Airport Volvos. It is pictured crossing Fisherton Bridge.

HDR rework of an old shot of mine. Probably the best mushroom refraction I've gotten. Still digging in my archives, as you can see.
The dew drop acts as a wide-angle lens, and because there is only one lens it inverts the light passing through it, which turns the scene upside down and reversed. Think of all the light as converging and crossing over inside the dew drop. It is not a REFLECTION. It is a REFRACTION. Reflection is when light bounces back. Refraction is when it passes through and is altered. Clearly the light here is passing through as the mushroom is behind the drop.
Check out our refraction group for lots of discussion on this topic, how-tos, examples, etc.
It continues to be very difficult around here. My brother's death was a month ago on the 11th. I'm finding running to be a huge help with anxiety and with taking care of myself.
I often use mantras when I run- "strong body, powerful legs, fast feet..." most often. Today I added "heathy and healing heart." It helped.
Here's to one day at a timing it in this messy time.
Continuing with the tour with my family members visiting me I decided to show them another beautiful place of Oregon Coast: Cape Meares.
There you can see amazing views of Pacific Ocean, The Octopus Tree and this lighthouse.
Built in 1890 served as the light station for Tillamook Bay until 1963. Added to U.S. National Register of Historic Places on April 21, 1993.
The re-skirting of original style panels is continuing, albeit slowly, the nearside "overhang" is complete as seen in the photo. Marshall Dart DMS355 served the local R routes for 9 years.
V355DLH was one of a batch of 13, bringing low floor vehicles to some parts of the R network.
It was new to Orpington Buses (First Centrewest; St Mary Cray- garage code Y) in Autumn 1999, and passed to Metrobus (MB) in Winter 2007 renumbered to 122. Withdrawn in the Summer of 2008 and sold to Judge's, then a period with Centrebus and later Yorkshire Tiger.
This Dart SLF passed into preservation in Spring 2015. It is hoped this vehicle will soon be restored to as new condition.

Continuing bird found by Tito Gonzalez along Corte Del Abeto in Carlsbad, CA. This was an overdue county bird, though I had never chased one so it wasn't a nemesis or anything. Got to spend about 30 minutes observing it which was pretty nice since it's a species I haven't seen all too often.
Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a stop in Tubac, AZ. This is stage 3 of 9. This is a place I plan on revisiting.
I toured the Presidio of Tubac and the Museum. As I turned a corner in the Museum, I was pleasantly surprised to see this Tallit (Jewish Prayer Shawl). This is a very nice and ornate example. Jews played important roles in the development of the State of Arizona.

The Palace of Heavenly Purity is a double-eaved building, and set on a single-level white marble platform. It is connected to the Gate of Heavenly Purity to its south by a raised walkway. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the residence of the Emperor.
The large space was divided into nine rooms on two levels, with twenty-seven beds. For security, on any one night the Emperor would randomly choose from any of these beds. This continued through the early Qing Dynasty.

Continuing my "Bike 100 Miles in June" challenge. Today I logged a total of 10 miles on my AiPAS E-bike (F3 Adventurer ). That brings my mileage up to 34.1 miles, so far.
I rode over to the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum.I forgot to pack my Sony mirrorless camera, so I only got photos with my Apple iPhone. I walked around a large portion of the property. I stopped inside the Gift shop and information desk before I left. Had a lovely conversion with Shane who was manning said info desk. I got a map for my next visit (when my wife comes along ).
I rode back home, but stopped at Covenant Health Park and got some photos of the baseball statues outside the stadium.

It's been a gloomy, grey day today, so I've decided to return to the magic of the starlings in Brighton. Oh, what a day that was.
Continuing my visits to some of the villages of South Nottinghamshire, here we are at Clifton. A small parish in its day. Now has a major University with a student campus. The majority of housing is urban council estates.
The Parish Church of Saint Mary The Virgin, Clifton.
This mediaeval church dates back to 1290. The village church is Grade I listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest. It sits adjacent to Clifton Hall, photos in my photostream.

De Bijenkorf (literally, "the beehive"[1]) is a chain of high-end department stores in the Netherlands It was founded by Simon Philip Goudsmit (1845–1889).starting as a small haberdashery shop at 132 Nieuwendijk, one of Amsterdam's oldest streets. Initially limited to yarn and ribbons and employing a staff of four, the stock expanded gradually. After the death of Goudsmit in 1889, Goudsmit's widow expanded the business with the help of a cousin, Arthur Isaac, and her son Alfred, eventually purchasing adjacent buildings. In 1909, these connecting shops were replaced by a new building.

Ha Long Bay again. I got so many pictures from this place that I will have to post one or two every now and then.
See, how small the boat is! You can get a sense of scale=)
Bigger if you prefer.
