November 2006 mit der Pfahlzeremonie und wurde im März 2009 unter der Leitung von Than Shwe , dem Leiter des regierenden staatlichen Friedens- und Entwicklungsrates in Birma, abgeschlossen . Die Einladungskarte für die Pfahlzeremonie wurde mit dem Satz "Rajahtani Naypyidaw" (die königliche Hauptstadt, in der der Präsident wohnt) eröffnet.

Cette balade fait partie des incontournables. Paysage et criques splendides
C'est une ballade magnifique qui offre des points de vue extraordinaires sur la côte, les plages et les villes alentour comme Toulon.
À l'origine, l'île de Giens était semblable à ses voisines, les îles d'Hyères. Jusqu'au jour où, il y a plusieurs milliers d'années, s'opéra lentement un phénomène naturel le plus curieux de toute la méditerranée : le double tombolo (les deux cordons sableux qui relient l’île au continent).
La randonnée sur la Presqu’île de Giens est une boucle de 6km autour du port de la Madrague. C’est une balade d’une étonnante richesse qui parcourt différents milieux, allant de la pinède littorale au milieu dunaire, en passant par le littoral. Des paysages aussi diversifiés que surprenants à découvrir !

his ride is a must. Beautiful landscape and coves
It is a beautiful ballad that offers extraordinary views of the coast, beaches and surrounding towns like Toulon.
Originally, the island of Giens was similar to its neighbors, the islands of Hyères. Until the day when, thousands of years ago, there was slowly a most curious natural phenomenon of all the Mediterranean: the double tombolo (the two sandy cords that connect the island to the continent).
The hike on the peninsula of Giens is a loop of 6km around the port of Madrague. It is a stroll of astonishing richness that goes through different environments, ranging from the coastal pine forest to the dune, passing by the coast. Landscapes as diverse as surprising to discover!

Having started a short uni course with Lancaster University on Wordsworth, I thought it was time to brush up on Bill before he goes wandering.
(Always pleased on how good the D300 still is)
The love of a father.
I met this father and his son while we were at the beach and I proposed him to take their portrait.
James (the father) was really happy about it. I am waiting for him to contact me so I can give him this picture :)

Dans de nombreuses cultures, les vautours sont perçus comme des symboles de renouveau et de purification.
En nettoyant l’environnement des restes d’animaux morts, ils jouent un rôle crucial dans l’écosystème.
Leur vol majestueux est non seulement un spectacle à admirer, mais aussi un rappel de l’importance de la biodiversité et de la santé des écosystèmes.
En somme, le vol des vautours est une merveille de la nature qui illustre à quel point ces oiseaux sont adaptés à leur environnement et essentiels à l’équilibre écologique.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
First shot out of the bag on my return to street photography in Glasgow after 3 years away with severe PTSD and a terrifying period of homelessness. Proving to myself that I still have what it takes - albeit with a hill of confidence to climb.
I had done a little street shooting in Ayr prior to this, and will share some of those in good time, but being back in the big city with camera in hand was a magical feeling.
During my time without my computer I captured 969 photos onto my camera card. It may take some time to edit them all.
Thank you all for your incredible support and care. You have kept me strong through this extremely difficult time and your warm welcome back to Flickr has brought me to tears. My deepest thanks to you.
Take care my Flickr friends and family. It is wonderful to return!
A tengu mask in Japanese culture symbolizes protection, wisdom, and a connection to mountain spirits, but also the duality of good and evil, arrogance and cunning. It is used in rituals, dances, and theaters such as Noh and Kabuki to represent the multifaceted nature of the mythological creature, the tengu, which is half human, half bird and often possesses a long red nose and wings.

Standing tall in divine grace, this is the magnificent bronze statue of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, at Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang, Malaysia. Rising over 30 meters high, she represents compassion, kindness, and love—values deeply cherished in Buddhist culture.
Kek Lok Si, Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temple, has been a beacon of spirituality and cultural pride since the late 19th century. This awe-inspiring pavilion, completed in 2009, shelters the goddess with its intricately carved pillars and vibrant roof, symbolizing both strength and serenity.
A visit to Kek Lok Si is not only a spiritual journey but also a visual delight—where history, architecture, and faith come together in perfect harmony.
Tip for Visitors: The temple's hilltop location offers a stunning panoramic view of Penang, especially at sunset. Don’t miss this sacred masterpiece!
It is a sole settlement outside of Isreal where mountain Jews live together . There were 13 synagogues at the time. Now there are 2 of them.

You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.

Deeply unhealthy ultra-processed food should never be cheaper than healthy alternatives. We live in a sad state where this is the case and such disparity creates health inequality.
Such poor nutrition food should always be personal choice and never forced upon anyone by financial constraint.
