I found this going through some old pictures and I found it was bracketed which at that time I had no idea I could make an HDR photo out of that.

You could say this was an independent love song

It's nothing like two lovers

What love meant to them

But that's not to say the love we had

Isn't big or that strong

I'm doing it a different way

I'll show you how to take me

Go down, go down, go down

And I'll show you how to love me

Right on, right on, right on

And I'll show you how to touch me

Right on, right on, right on

What could be better than rediscovering an old book and sipping a nice glass of cognac?

Jackson Piano Building

Preservation

Expansion of the Coronado Theatre:

A historic Rockford landmark, the Jackson building’s exterior could not be altered. Therefore,

Cullen’s (Architect) first challenge was

to find a way to keep the

building’s two street-facing

walls as well as a portion of

the second floor and roof

intact and structurally sound

while removing other walls

and floors, opening the

building so the two structures

could be joined.

Could someone please direct me home? I think I am stranded

Could not resist to preserve this arrangement. It was cold outside and these chairs are metal, so no point in hanging around for anyone to sit down. One day I´ll start shooting pictures with people in them. What else is there that is interesting really?

How could I miss this date, lol. A little late but Happy Collie Day to all the beautiful collies in the world.

I could hear and see the leaves falling this morning as I walked through the woods to get to this beautiful lake. Sorry if I was singing too loud! Have a great weekend my friends! ~Sam

"Don't ask me

What you know is true

Don't have to tell you

I love your precious heart

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

We could live

For a thousand years

But if I hurt you

I'd make wine from your tears

I told you

That we could fly

'Cause we all have wings

But some of us don't know why

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never, ever tear us apart

I (Don't ask me)

I was standing (You know it's true)

Mm, you were there (Worlds collided)

Two worlds collided (We're shining through)

And they could never tear us apart

You (Don't ask me)

You were standing (You know it's true)

I was there (Worlds collided)

Two worlds collided (We're shining through)

And they could never tear us apart

I was standing

You were there"

The one and only McGown Peak, as backdrop to Stanley Lake, provides an experience that boderes on the religious and sometimes even more.

For a sense of scale, Stanley Lake sets at an elevation of 6513 ft (1985 m) and McGown summit is 9860 ft (3010 m)

A good friend and I left Boise in the middle of the night to catch sunrise here and the lack of sleep was totally worth it. It was one of those mornings, that if you listened close you could hear the mountains sing.

...you could already feel the oncoming rain in the air...it was so peaceful, far from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Remember, context is one thing, but peace is acausal.

The background info for this photo could start with:

“…The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...”

Talasnal is an isolated, very small and beautiful schist village in the center of Portugal, near Lousã and within the wider Serra da Lousã (Lousã Mountain) area.

From Talasnal you have several trails that quickly take you through lush vegetation to explore the mountain, where deer, roe deer, wild boar and many other animal species still lurk.

This shot was taken at sunset, from a vantage point. Golden hour light was bathing the village, creating a wonderful effect.

**********

There are 27 schist villages in the center of Portugal, spread across the Lousã and Açor mountains. They are called schist villages because this is the stone, abundant in the region, that is used in the construction of the houses. The various shades of this rock, also used for paving the narrow winding streets, mingle seamlessly with the colours of the natural landscape.

Schist villages are so beautiful that an effort has been underway to preserve and rehabilitate them. A network of the 27 villages (“Aldeias de Xisto”) has also been created to promote them as a tourist destination.

Could this be the Easter bunny?? ;))

Could have been a project for Sliders Sunday as I had a lot of work with the white background. I have this faux leather piece with leather patterns on it but they hardly ever look good on a picture, so I tried to blur them out. More work than I expected and the bowl got blurry too. I liked that effect because everything looked even more blue and the shadows of the bowl look milky somehow so I left it.

Everyone who is affected by fatigue and chronic pain I am sending you healing thoughts

so much like stars

filling the dark trees

that one could easily imagine

its reason for being was nothing more

than prettiness.”

Thank you for visiting.

This little pesty pigeon wouldn't stop eyeing my food just hoping for a taste and thought he would be clever and try hiding out but little did he know...I could still see him!! lol ;))

You think I'd leave your side baby

You know me better than that

You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees

I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you want

And if only you could see into me

Oh, when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in

I will show you you're so much better than you know

When you're lost and you're alone and you can't get back again

I will find you darling and I will bring you home

And if you want to cry

I am here to dry your eyes

And in no time

You'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby

You know me better than that

You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees

I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you want

And if only you could see into me

Oh when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

Oh when you're low

I'll be there

By your side baby

The sound of a woodland kingfisher during spring in South Africa can be so abundant and noisy. Sitting on a branch so close to each other is another thing. You must be lucky seeing this or just be patient...

Thank you so much dear Flickr friends for your visit, faves and comments.

What could be better than a drive across the glorious heather moors before dropping down into the stunning village of Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast? Once a busy fishing community, Staithes is a jumble of whitewashed, pantile-roofed cottages clinging to the hillside, threaded through with narrow ginnels leading to the pretty harbour and beach.

The young James (later Captain) Cook had his first job here (as an apprentice grocer, oddly, not a seaman), and the cobbles, alleys and cottages are pretty much as they were in the eighteenth century.

This photo could symbolize many things. Suppression of little people; Dictatorship; Deep State; Big Brother; oppression against women. In fact, it represents the opposite. Jan Žižka led an army of peasants, little people against the powerful Roman Empire and they were victorious due his clever military tactics for many years (1419-1434) even after his death in 1424. Equipped with simple modified farming tools, his small army demonstrated the Power of People. The monumental bronze statue was sculpted by B. Kafka in 1931-1941 and is part of Vítkov National Monument. Žižka historical heroics are always on the mind of the Czech folk, when their freedoms are in jeopardy.

ne'er was struck before that hour

With love so sudden and so sweet,

Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower

And stole my heart away complete.

My face turned pale as deadly pale.

My legs refused to walk away,

And when she looked, what could I ail?

My life and all seemed turned to clay.

Could I have this night to share this night together?

Could I hold you close beside me?

Could I hold you for all time?

Hammerfest is a municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Hammerfest. Some of the main villages in the municipality include Rypefjord, Forsøl, Hønsebybotn, Akkarfjord i Kvaløya, Akkarfjord i Sørøya, and Kårhamn.

The municipality encompasses parts of three large islands: Kvaløya, Sørøya, and Seiland. Other small islands such as Håja, Lille Kamøya and Kamøya are also located here.

Most of the area municipality does not have a road connection with the rest of Norway (!!!). Only Kvaløya island is connected via the Kvalsund Bridge.

The "midnight sun" is above the horizon from 14 May to 31 July (79 days), and the period with continuous daylight lasts a bit longer, polar night from 23 November to 19 January (59 days).

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found this cold American robin resting in one of the crabapple trees here at the park today. At least it was still finding a few crabapples to eat.

could be snow...could be sand

Could be 100 years ago but it was taken this Monday

I told Shadow that some people in the world don't like cats and he was very displeased. "How is that even possible?" he guffawed! This could not be true! Then, I told him he had already had enough catnip for the day and he got really mad.
