This is a photo of patterns in the river current. I used the LunaPic photo editing website to mirror and copy the image twice to generate this symmetrical image.

This truck bed was filled with dirt. I'm filling in areas to keep rain from puddling around my poly tunnel. Hard work, back hurts, feet ache, hands and wrists burn. Gotta keep on and tomorrow is a new day.
Pergamon /ˈperɡəmən/ or /ˈperɡəmɒn/ or Pergamum /ˈperɡəməm/ (Ancient Greek: τὸ Πέργαμον, to Pergamon, or ἡ Πέργαμος, hē Pergamos) was an ancient Greek city in Aeolis, currently located 26 kilometres (16 mi) from the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern-day Bakırçay). Today, the main sites of ancient Pergamon are to the north and west of the modern city of Bergama in Turkey.
Some ancient authors regarded it as a colony of the Arcadians, but the various origin stories all belong to legend. The Greek historians reconstructed a complete history for it due to confusion with the distant Teuthrania. It became the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon during the Hellenistic period, under the Attalid dynasty, 281–133 BC. Pergamon is cited in the Book of Revelation as one of the seven churches of Asia.

UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST;
This site rises high above the Bakirçay Plain in Turkey’s Aegean region. The acropolis of Pergamon was the capital of the Hellenistic Attalid dynasty, a major centre of learning in the ancient world. Monumental temples, theatres, stoa or porticoes, gymnasium, altar and library were set into the sloping terrain surrounded by an extensive city wall. The rock-cut Kybele Sanctuary lies to the north-west on another hill visually linked to the acropolis. Later the city became capital of the Roman province of Asia known for its Asclepieion healing centre. The acropolis crowns a landscape containing burial mounds and remains of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires in and around the modern town of Bergama on the lower slopes.

I like to remember the date of the last swim of the season, since I was hot and sweaty from the hike in, I took what could be the last voluntary dip of 2015.
Still green on the Manistee as of 9/25. Anyone planning a float over the weekend is in for a treat, the forecast looks beautiful and the water is as clear as it gets outside of winter.
This is one of the thirteen images I currently have on display in a cafe. you can see the rest of the images here.
Current situation: a summer morning with no plans or obligations. Bliss!

Gainsborough Lea Road railway station, Gainsborough, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
The first station at Gainsborough was the current Gainsborough Central station, which opened in 2 April 1849 by the Manchester Sheffield and Lincoln railway. Initially a terminus this became a through station when the line was extended to Woodhouse and Retford on 16 July 1849. On 9 April 1849 a single-track line built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) from Lincoln to west of the station and GNR trains serving Gainsborough reversed here. Following the opening of the MSLR line to Retford, GNR services then ran to Retford although the reversal into Gainsborough Central was still required.
The GNR was keen to extend their line from Gainsborough to Doncaster and parliamentary approval for this line was received on 25 July 1864. As part of this scheme the existing Lincoln to Gainsborough line was also to be upgraded. On 1 December that year the line from Lincoln to Doncaster was closed and doubling took place. At this time the new station initially called Gainsborough was built and trains started calling there on 15 July 1867. On 1 March 1871 a line was opened from north of the station to the bank of the River Trent serving Ashcroft Saw Mill and an iron works.
In 1879 the GNR and the Great Eastern Railway (GER) formed a committee to build a line linking the coal fields of south Yorkshire to London. This saw the building of a new line from Spalding North Junction to Pyewipe Junction near Lincoln which opened in stages in 1882. The station was transferred to the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway committee.
Passenger facilities were improved in 1883 and 1884, and goods facilities expanded in 1886 and 1891 with a number of rail connected businesses operated in the station area. In 1909 the joint committee was abandoned and although the station remained in Joint ownership, it was managed by the GNR.
The GNR amalgamated with several other railways to form the London and North Eastern Railway on 1 January 1923. On 9 July the station was renamed Gainsborough North although this name was short-lived as the station was renamed Gainsborough Lea Road on 1 December.
In the Second World War the joint line saw significant freight traffic and passenger services were reduced as a result. Following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 Gainsborough Lea Road became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways. The goods yard remained active during the 1950s but falling traffic saw closure on 1 April 1967.
Compared to Gainsborough Central, Lea Road is very inconveniently sited, being around a 20-minute walk from the town centre. Whilst there is a bus between the station and the town centre, this is not timetabled to connect with train services.
Friðland að fjallabaki (Fjallabak nature reserve), currently the most visited part of the highlands of Iceland, not so original then...
But it's possible to get some original catches here and there because this area is always awesome (in any kind of weather!!!). Love driving there, under massive clouds when the moss is fluorescent green after the rain... Ok, Eldgjà rift, Hekla volcano and Langisjór lake, showed on these pictures are not in Fjallabak but there included in the trip :)

Some current outfits - far nicer than being a schlub in shorts in my back yard, covered in pieces of spruce trees. Though it's good to be out in the summer, instead of huddling from winter extremes.
Assis dans certaines tenues actuelles - bien plus agréable que d'être un morceau masculin en short dans ma cour arrière, couvert de morceaux d'épinettes. Bien qu'il soit bon de sortir en été, au lieu de se blottir contre les extrêmes hivernaux.
Please, read my profile, or leave a comment.

Moved my Collectors to here. The Novi's were originally on this closet but I don't have them on display at all anymore.
A mesmerizing dance of light and texture, where abstract shapes flow like ripples in a liquid mirror. The interplay of tones creates a visual symphony of movement and depth. This was created using one of my digital photos and Filter Forge, and Lightroom. Rotate it around and find the flow that works for you, Wayne.

The first I thought in when I saw this photo was that song, and I think that it is interesting to share it together from the point of a bigger and more nuanced expression.
Also, I don't want this to be an egocentric gallery, but sometimes there's too much significance and feelings in some photos of me (currently I don't have many models...) to not share it.
With the current "fever pitch" surrounding the ever popular BA Retro Jets recently revealed by British Airways to celebrate the carriers centenary, here's another look at a recently forgotten lady residing inthe Runway Visitor Park at Manchester Airport.
Taken on 2nd June 2007, when she was just after being re-assembled following her relocation from London Heathrow.
Wearing the original "BEA High Speed Jack" livery, one can only wish for this splendid livery being applied to a modern day aircraft with British Airways.
"Zulu Kilo" was delivered new to BEA onJanuary 9th 1962 and flew with the airline through the merger with BOAC to form British Airways until Her final flight which was was from Belfast to London Heathrow on Friday 1 November 1985 as BA4653.
Retired from commercial flying, "Zulu Kilo" remained at London Heathrow for use as a towing trainer, de-icing practise, and for a short while for counter terrorism training.
In 1991 her wings were clipped by 15 feet each in order to make more space on the ground for the ever expanding fleet of BA.
Following the terrorist attack on 9/11, and the ensuing heightened security around all international airports, in became impossible for volunteers to gain access to LHR and "Zulu Kilo", and withdrawal from use a s a towing Training airframe by the airline owing to a substantial amount of work needing to be carried out on the undercarriage.
The year 2003 was a bleak and uncertain one for "Zulu Kilo" as it seemed certain the aircraft would succumb to the fate of the axe man. However, Neil Lomax who was one of the original restorers of ZK, publicised its plight on an internet forum. Two others joined him in efforts to set up a fund raising initiative in order to raise the required money to move the aircraft to Manchester Airport Viewing Park who has previously expressed interest in displaying it.
Work on dismantling the aircraft was started in 2004, although it would be 2006 before "Zulu Kilo" made her final jouney from London Heathrow to Manchester, owing to the mountain of paperwork, funding, organisation, planning involved in moving a once proud flying machine over 200 miles by road.
This and the other one are supposed to be for the Still Life With ... group. I am having trouble deciding which one. It is supposed to be my last in the series of 3. What do you think? This or the one with the white background back ground?

With Beamish currently only open at weekends until the February half-term, the tram service has been in the hands of the 'winter' pairing of Sheffield Corporation Tramways 264 and Sunderland Corporation Transport 16 with the latter pictured at The Entrance on an anti-clockwise circuit on January 22nd 2023.
Rainy day today, quiet around the house, miss my own home, worn but well.
Enjoying being artful again, even if it is only a little. Hopeful that I will get to dig in and be wrist deep in paint and glue this weekend. Need some studio time badly...have some mixed media pieces, collages, in mind and my muse is burning so brightly she is threatening to scorch my insides out just to be free...
