A shot divided into three distinct patterns with the crest of the wave serving as the cusp or dividing line.
On the cusp of April….spring….and Easter lilies.
Only one bloom for you today,
But many more to anticipate,
As all of you perhaps can see.
After a long and cold winter,
Full of drafts and high winds,
This is a welcome time to be!
Thank you for stopping by flickr friends, enjoy midweek…Pat..xo

On the cusp of the North Georgia Mountains, sits Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge. A nature lover’s wonderland, it’s only 8 miles from the Appalachian Trail and within the Chattahoochee National Forest
The moment I recognised where we were - that beech wood I had wondered about for so many years - here it is ! I do chat to Marnie, my dog, and she was the recipient of my exclamations of delight. I don't think she minded though. She's always at her most alert in 'different' places.

Anyway, I thought I'd show you and hope you like the 'feeling' here too. A lot of the leaves have fallen again now the temperatures have fallen. We're on the 'cusp' of autumn and winter.
Thanks so much for taking a look - every view and comment is greatly appreciated.
This can be a daily-double!

La parte superiore della facciata del Duomo di Siena è opera di Camaino di Crescentino che vi lavorò tra il 1299 circa e il 1317.
Lateralmente sono presenti due ordini di loggette, mentre il tutto è sormontato da tre cuspidi dorate. I tre mosaici dorati, che raffigurano da sinistra a destra la Presentazione di Maria al Tempio, l'Incoronazione della Vergine e La Natività di Gesù, furono eseguiti a Venezia nel 1878, su disegno di Alessandro Franchi.

The upper part of the facade of the Cathedral of Siena is the work of Camaino di Crescentino who worked on it between about 1299 and 1317.
On the side there are two orders of loggias, while the whole is surmounted by three golden cusps. The three golden mosaics, which represent from left to right the Presentation of Mary in the Temple, the Coronation of the Virgin and the Nativity of Jesus, were made in Venice in 1878, based on a design by Alessandro Franchi.

Wave approach angles conditioned by wind flows and tidal currents produces scallop sculpting along beaches at the sea edge … where the cusps are small to high up on the beach.
Here, at a Great Ocean Road beach (Victoria, Australia), they are high and spaced conspicuously apart with hollows formed between them forming an attractive sea edge pattern deepened in beauty by the afternoon sun starting to go down.
Canon EOS 7D Mark II,
Wishes are like bubbles in the wind
Released from the heart
Hoping they reach the far corners
Bringing you all a 2019 full
of happiness, joy and love...
Let the bad of 2018 be forgiven and forgotten but learned from.
That the good be carried forward
and widespread through the days of the year.
Might it be a year for more, never for less..
Happy New Year to you all and lets all meet again in cusp of 2020.

I was in Cuba literally days after Fidel Castro died and the country was still officially in mourning. It was hard to get what the Cuban people really thought of Fidel - there was evidently a great fear of speaking freely but then in a place where the government monitors who stays where each night, including at the B and Bs, they had no idea who they were really talking to I suppose. But there was no doubt some genuine grief among many.
This shot was taken at Trinidad bus station during this period. A time in history where Cuba was genuinely on a cusp.

This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath...........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the feeling of anger and anguish
~muteD~
A fiery pit
is blossoming inside of
my chest.
Where my heart
used to reside
no longer resides
a place capable of any
love.
Hate slithers in
like the first rays
of sunlight
on a Sunday morning
consuming me before I even open my eyes.
and I’m finding out
that the only way to
silence the voices in my head
is to scream my own voice raw
and drown them out.
bubbling up like a volcano
on the cusp of erupting
is every penny I’ve ever collected.
holding the memories of what
could never be again.
I’m not sure what
I hate more.
How you made me feel
or myself?

HOLY TRINITY CRAIL
This church was built as a United Presbyterian Church in 1859. It replaced an earlier place of worship (a Burgher Church, site 10539), which had been in use since 1797 and was probably on the same site. Holy Trinity is on the southern edge of Crail, on the corner of Lamond Terrace and Westgate North. The building sits in landscaped grounds behind a coped wall, raised up slightly from street level. To the north of the building is the manse, and a residential area.
The church is built from coursed sandstone on its principal elevation and sandstone rubble elsewhere, with a slate roof.
The church is cruciform and oriented north-south. The south elevation is the principal elevation of the church. It is supported by clasping buttresses to the east and west. It is entered though a door under a four centred arch with a simple hoodmould. Above this is a window in a pointed arch with a simple hoodmould with cusped tracery. Below the apex of the gable is quatrefoil within a rounded opening which is blocked. The gable is capped by a wheelheaded cross, the middle of which is missing.
The east and west elevations have two lancet windows with frosted glass. There is a small, square-headed door towards the southern edge of the west face. Transepts project from the east and west nave walls.
The west elevation of the west transept is supported to the north and south by clasping buttresses and is capped by a three-leaved finial. Below this is a latticed, oval opening, with is louvered, with a hoodmould. There is also a lancet window with frosted glass. To the south is another such window.
The east elevation of the east transept is supported to the north and south by clasping buttresses and is capped by a three-leaved finial. Below this is a latticed, oval light with a hoodmould and a lancet window with frosted glass. To the south is another such window.
Behind the church is a sandstone rubble vestry with an M-shaped, Scottish slate roof. To the west is a square-headed door and window with frosted glass. To the east are a pair of cusped lights, also with frosted glass. The north elevation of the building was not accessible due to the proximity of the adjacent property.

La distancia máxima entre cada núcleo de espinas es de 7 milímetros en la dirección de las curvas de Fibonacci y de 1 centímetro entre cúspide de cada núcleo en el sentido descendente. La distancia total desde la parte superior del ítem fotografiado hasta su base visible es de 6.5 centímetros.

The maximun distance between each nucleus of spines is 7 millimeters in the direction of the Fibonacci curves and 1 centimeter between the cusp of each nucleus in the downward direction. The total distance from the top of the photographed item to its visible base is 6.5 centimeters.
The quiet road. And enough blue sky to make a pair of sailor's pants. Apparently, In Hanko, the pearl of the Baltic, all the local Swedish speaking Finns there, point to the sky as they pass each other and say it, "There's enough blue sky to make a pair of sailor's pants" as a greeting of goodwill, for sure as peanuts are nuts, the sun will shortly start shining, and their day will get better. An ideal sentiment for a Friday morning on the cusp of a mid-summer weekend.
On the cusp between the final minutes of the much celebrated golden hour and the start of blue hour, a north facing exposure favours the blues.
Project 365-010
I know that some landscape photographers are not so keen on the summer months due to the relative lack of atmospheric light. This is an image I made earlier in the year when misty mornings were more frequent. This is a photograph of a pond located near to the Cranfleet Cut, which is a short distance from the Derbyshire town of Long Eaton. Timing was everything for this image, as the sun's brightness was becoming more and more intense with every passing second. This is an image that was made on the very cusp of the possible.
This is the only surviving Church of the five (three parish churches, the Priory and the Hospital) that existed in New Romney in the Medieval Period. The 3 lower stages of the tower and 4 bays of the Nave date from circa 1160-70. the 2 upper stages of the Tower with the corner turrets and octagonal parapet (or remains of spire) are circa 1200. The Easternmost bay of the Nave, the Chancel and the Aisles of the Nave are C14. Piscina and triple sedilia in the Chancel and both aisles. Early C14 recess in the North Chapel having a depressed arch with big cusping and a frieze of large 4-petaled flowers. Brasses. Box pews.

The turtle was sunning on a sand bar in the middle of Lake Tupke in the reserve.
The Florida red-bellied cooter or Florida redbelly turtle (Pseudemys nelsoni) is a species of turtle in the family Emydidae. It can be found in regularly high densities in spring runs, and occasionally can be found in brackish water. This species is active year-round and sp P. nelsoni is endemic to Florida, and southern Georgia.
The Florida redbelly cooter is mainly herbivorous and can be found in nearly any type of aquatic habitat. It spends a large portion of the day basking on logs. They are noted for sometimes laying their eggs in the nest mounds of alligators. The Florida redbelly is closely related to the Peninsula cooter (Pseudemys floridana) and can often be found basking on logs together.
The Florida redbelly can be distinguished from other similar turtles by its distinctive red-tinged plastron (belly) and two cusps (like teeth) on its upper beak. Like most Pseudemys turtles, this species is a fairly large river turtle. Carapace length in mature turtles can range from 20.3 to 37.5 cm (8.0 to 14.8 in). Females, which average 30.5 cm (12.0 in) in carapace length and weigh 4 kg (8.8 lb), are noticeably larger than males, which are around 25 cm (9.8 in) and 1.8 kg (4.0 lb) in mass. – Wikipedia

I don't remember when someone, perhaps my mother, said I needed a job. Or the day when I realised I needed to earn some money to live. Work, I sort of fell into. You can't avoid it when you live on a farm.: all members of the family are workers to be called on when a hand is needed. So I started getting pocket money by working every day at harvest, when we were shearing, taking animals to market, sowing, etc, etc. until I realised taking money off my parents wasn't like a proper job. That came with a job fabricating ferro-cement fishing boats one summer, my first maritime connection. After Uni I trained as a Merchant Navy Deck Officer and Navigator when my dream of being an RAF jet fighter pilot came to nothing. Somehow, planes, ships, tractors and transport came together and after another spell on the farm I got a job in something called 'freight forwarding' importing and exporting round the world. In that field I had six employers over the next 40 years, the most significant change being when I decided there were better prospects in 'sales' than operations. Mindful that with no sales there is no business, that was the more dynamic field to be in. It was always more pressurised, and more results driven, but the rewards were greater, and it changed me as a person. I went from being shy to being quite confident meeting and trying to win over complete strangers. Of course that was the hardest part but I never needed to win over the world to be successful in our own little pond.
Today, over a beer, I shall tell 'the team' what it has been like to work with them for so long, and see a new generation come into the company. They won't be able to see so far ahead, just as I couldn't when i was a new starter, but today will be my very last day of work.......forever. I had considered a 'confessional' of all the bad things I've done while employed, but running through the memories in my mind, I decided they would be too painful to admit to, and would destroy my legacy.
I know I'm lucky. My father-in-law died before he got to retire. And I will be a fool if I don't make the most of the new opportunity I have. But I'm a bit wary of the word 'retire'. It sounds like a slippery slope, but I don't want to get on it yet. Too much to do.
I've always hated trying to get tidied up at work to go on holiday, without leaving stuff undone. But my last couple of days have been so busy, I'm sure I will be going for a beer with the others before EVERYTHING is done.
But where is the low hanging fruit?
This straight Pano piece was shot into a very bright late afternoon sun which really glared out the image. I almost abandoned it because it was so washed out in white glare. Instead I drastically dropped the highlights and brightness, bumped up the colour and actually had to lighten up the shadows on the right. A slight shift in the "cast" gives the image a yellowish wash. These are standard photographic adjustments.
But would we consider this manipulated or not ? I think it sits on the cusp.
Carrying on my major theme of Pano-Sabotage as visual metaphor for transformation. Said metamorphosis can always be seen in two ways - as DE-structive and RE-Constructive. This is entirely up to how each of us views transformation.

I am VERY proud to announce that I was chosen to be the feature artist of the "Kreative People" Group's Spring Gallery - Running until the end of June. I really must thank both abstractartangel77 and Xandram for bestowing me with this great honour. The link to the gallery appears below:

“The pale stars were sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves was almost hushed. All about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the not yet darkened world seems infinitely greater—a moment when anything can happen, anything be believed in.”
― Olivia Howard Dunbar
The Nunnery in Church Street, probably of 14th century date. The latter is a misnomer, as there is no evidence of nuns residing there, although there is reference to a date of 1346 when “the site was granted to the Abbot and Convent of Cleeve by Hugh Pero of Oaktrow.” The more likely origin is as an almonry or guest house attached to the priory. Historic records suggest it was known as High House prior to the 19th century and is described in documents held at the Castle as the “Tenement of St. Lawrence.” This appears to be linked with the small chantry chapel, also dedicated to St. Lawrence, opening from the north aisle which has an entry arch and screen, a stone altar and floor tiles thought to date from the 13th to 14th century." The appraisal goes on to say "The Nunnery (4-8 Church Street) is a long three storey six bay gabled house with tiled roof and slate-hung projecting upper floors, divided into three cottages. It probably dates from the late 14th to early 15th century…and was originally attached to the Priory. After the Dissolution, it was sold in 1620 to Robert Quirke of Minehead and turned into dwellings, although in 1781 is recorded as being in use as a malthouse. The windows have leaded-light iron casements in timber frames, and there are stable-type vertical plank doors. The east end elevation has a 15th century opening with moulded surround and cusped head.
Church of Santa Maria della Spina
Pisa, Tuscany, Italy
The church is a gem of Gothic architecture in Italy. The small structure has a rectangular ground plan, and is built of marble, laid in polychrome bands. The exterior appearance is marked by cusps, tympani and tabernacles, together with a rich sculptural decoration with tarsiae, rose-windows and numerous statues from the main Pisane artists of the early 14th century. These include Giovanni Pisano, Lupo di Francesco, Andrea Pisano with his sons Nino and Tommaso, and Giovanni di Balduccio.
The sort of sea that can produce a calm feeling with the two sides of the cusp of a wave showing variations in color and texture plus some cloud reflections.

Cremona : The Torrazzo .
Elemento verticale dominante la scena urbana (altezza quasi 111 metri ) costituisce il simbolo di maggior presa di Cremona . Edificato per garantire la doppia funzione di Campanile e Torre Civica ,si compone di due canne quadrate inserite una nell'altra ( esterna fu terminata nel 1267 , quella interna , nei primi anni del 1300 ) e sormontate da un ardito coronamento ottagonale ( o ghirlanda ) a cuspide tipicamente Gotico che fu realizzato forse da Francesco Pecoraro ,tra le due canne ,una scala porta alla sommità . Spicca il grande Orologio Astronomico ,dal quadrante (originariamente dipinto da G.B.Natali nel 1671) e più volte rifatto ,la meccanica è quella originale cinquecentesca .
E' collegato alla facciata del Duomo per mezzo del Portico della Portazzola .Sotto le arcate è conservato un sarcofago trecentesco opera di Bonino da Campione .
Dominant vertical element the urban scenan (height almost 111 meters) constitutes the symbol of greater grip of the city. Built to guarantee the double function of civic tower and bell tower, it is composed of two square pipes one in the other. terminatab in 1267, the eternal, higher, in the early 1300s. Lined with a boldly crowned crown (or garland) with a typically Gothic cusp that was perhaps built by Francesco Pecorari, between the two pipes, a staircase leads to the top. it stands out the great astronomical clock, from the quadrant (originally painted by GB Natali in 1671), redone several times: the mechanics is still the original sixteenth century one. It is connected to the façade of the Cathedral through the Portico della Portazzola. Beneath the arches is a fourteenth-century sarcophagus by Bonino da Campione.
Something old, something new, something borrowed... something blue.
