'That which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.'
Romeo and Juliet
This rose, Compassion, has an exquisite scent.
I'm thinking of George Orwell planting roses
in his cottage garden in Wallington.
And of Clare of course, so often in my thoughts.

Ezekiel 35:8-9 “And I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”

As we drove around 17-Mile-Drive on the Monterey Peninsula of California, we passed by this green on a golf course on the Pacific Ocean. The vegetation in the rough on this par 3 looked unforgiving.
Trike Harley-Davidson. Of course I like more than the usual two-wheeled bikes, but we must also think about those who are already difficult to cope with such a technique. I remembered the movie "Sons of Anarchy": father - of red traveled on a three-wheeled bike. And our Putin, once came to the meeting with bikers in Sevastopol on this Trike Harley-Davidson.

"Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

I am not sure about this image, the surface of Loch Stack was heavily rippled by the wind and uninviting but I persevered with a 10 stop ND filter resulting in a 30 second exposure. What do you think?
Willowbrook Golf Course located in the City of Winter Haven in Polk County Florida U.S.A.
Located in Central Florida's Polk County, Willowbrook's well-manicured layout in a natural setting combines mature trees, water hazards, bunkers and doglegs to challenge the experts, yet provides plenty of opportunities for pars and birdies. Willowbrook's natural setting affords players the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife, including alligators, herons, cranes, foxes, ibises and many more of Florida's natural inhabitants.

The Charlene A and crew heading out. The cabin light is on, steaming along at 7.5 knots. The fog is heavy, you can smell and taste the salt in the air. It's time to go fishing.
I shan't be around very much between now and the new year so I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year.
Comments are very welcome but please no invites as I won't have time to deal with them.
(For those that are interested, this is our Christmas card for this year. It was originally shot in 1981 and has been re-photographed, tweaked, selectively coloured, text added and, of course, approved at every stage by the AD. It features our two children, now aged 36 and 38.)

A RAAF plane took off in the shared runway with our QANTAS flight in Newcastle Airport. It looks just like a collision from this angle.
Of course if we are anywhere near water, Josiah has his fishing gear. He cast out while we settled on rocks for our lunch. After eating, I went out across from the falls to get a better angle of it. That is when I started hearing his shouts of excitement. I shot as he reeled it in. One of his biggest catches ever. He was so proud! He cleaned it and cooked it up for our dinner.

Ria del Nervión, margen izquierda, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
La ría de Bilbao (también conocida como ría del Nervión o del Ibaizábal) es la desembocadura que forma el sistema de los ríos Nervión e Ibaizábal, así como sus últimos afluentes, en su llegada al mar Cantábrico, en el golfo de Vizcaya. Atraviesa Bilbao, divididiendo la ciudad en dos: a la derecha, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña y Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, y a la izquierda, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando y Ibaiondo.
Pasando la jurisdicción de Bilbao, se prolonga 23 kilómetros hasta su desembocadura en el mar, entre los municipios de Santurce, Guecho y Ciérvana.
Antaño las márgenes izquierda y derecha del curso inferior de la ría, a las afueras de Bilbao, eran opuestas en cuanto a sus características sociales: la derecha era residencial y la izquierda, industrial y obrera. En Bilbao, la diferencia reside en que mientras la margen derecha conserva su valor histórico, la izquierda, completamente renovada, se ha convertido en el centro económico de la ciudad, con su epicentro en la Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro y la Plaza Moyúa. Ambas orillas han experimentado un desarrollo urbano impresionante, con interesantes lugares destinados al disfrute de locales y visitantes.
Margen derecha:
En el término de Bilbao se pueden observar la torre de la Catedral de Santiago y la iglesia de San Antón se erige a metros de las aguas. Más adelante se encuentra el Mercado de la Ribera, el Teatro Arriaga, el Ayuntamiento y el paseo del Campo de Volantín. El edificio de la Universidad de Deusto se levanta sobre la Avenida de las Universidades.
Más abajo aparecen los municipios de Erandio y Lejona, que a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX fueron perdiendo parte de su suelo rural para alojar industrias y viviendas de obreros.
En Guecho, el barrio de Romo tuvo un similar carácter obrero, mientras que en los de Neguri y Las Arenas se pueden apreciar algunas fastuosas mansiones de la burguesía vasca.
Margen izquierda:
En la orilla izquierda, dentro del término de Bilbao se encuentran Abando, Indauchu y Zorroza.
La estación de Santander, los paseos de Uribitarte y Abandoibarra son recorridos por su ecológico tranvía eléctrico y llegan al inconfundible Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, símbolo de la nueva era que atraviesa la ciudad. Más adelante, el complejo centro comercial Zubiarte ofrece compras, gastronomía y salas de cine. El Palacio Euskalduna después, y más tarde lujosos hoteles como el hotel Meliá de Bilbao y parques. Por último, el Itsasmuseum Bilbao ofrece exposiciones referentes al pasado ligado al mar de la villa.
Más al norte se encuentran los municipios de Baracaldo, Sestao y Portugalete y, en la desembocadura, Santurce y Ciérvana.
The Bilbao estuary (also known as the Nervión or Ibaizábal estuary) is the mouth that forms the system of the Nervión and Ibaizábal rivers, as well as their last tributaries, as they reach the Cantabrian Sea, in the Bay of Biscay. It crosses Bilbao, dividing the city in two: on the right, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña and Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, and on the left, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando and Ibaiondo.
Passing the jurisdiction of Bilbao, it extends 23 kilometers to its mouth in the sea, between the municipalities of Santurce, Guecho and Ciérvana.
In the past, the left and right banks of the lower course of the estuary, on the outskirts of Bilbao, were opposite in terms of their social characteristics: the right was residential and the left, industrial and working class. In Bilbao, the difference is that while the right bank preserves its historical value, the left, completely renovated, has become the economic center of the city, with its epicenter in the Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro and the Plaza Moyua. Both shores have experienced an impressive urban development, with interesting places for the enjoyment of locals and visitors.
Right margin:
In the municipality of Bilbao you can see the tower of the Cathedral of Santiago and the church of San Antón stands meters from the water. Further on is the Mercado de la Ribera, the Arriaga Theater, the Town Hall and the Campo de Volantín promenade. The University of Deusto building stands on Avenida de las Universidades.
Below are the municipalities of Erandio and Lejona, which throughout the 19th and 20th centuries lost part of their rural land to accommodate industries and workers' houses.
In Guecho, the Romo neighborhood had a similar working-class character, while in Neguri and Las Arenas you can see some lavish mansions of the Basque bourgeoisie.
Left margin:
On the left bank, within the municipality of Bilbao, are Abando, Indauchu and Zorroza.
The Santander station, the Uribitarte and Abandoibarra promenades are traveled by its ecological electric tram and arrive at the unmistakable Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, symbol of the new era that is going through the city. Further on, the complex Zubiarte shopping center offers shopping, gastronomy and movie theaters. The Euskalduna Palace later, and later luxurious hotels such as the Meliá hotel in Bilbao and parks. Finally, the Itsasmuseum Bilbao offers exhibitions referring to the past linked to the sea in the town.
Further north are the municipalities of Baracaldo, Sestao and Portugalete and, at the mouth, Santurce and Ciérvana.
