In deepest rural West Lancashire a cascade of poppies adorns the community's memorial as a bright morning autumn sun lights up and casts shadows across a typical English village scene.
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.” ― Jelaluddin Rumi
Afternoon twilight in deepest midwinter behind Belfast's Albert Memorial Clock, shot from the Lagan Weir footbridge.
The 1869 Albert Clock is one of Belfast's landmarks. Gently leaning, like a Hibernian tower of Pisa, thanks to the underground marshlands on which this part of the city was built, it is a memorial to Queen Victoria's late Prince Consort, Albert.
The architect was by W. J. Barre, who had earlier designed Belfast's Ulster Hall.
Some parts of the clock were removed due to its lean in 1924, and it was damaged in the IRA's 1992 bombing of nearby River House.

Golden brown, deepest blue
Lake of beauty in front of you
Winter sun it does shine
Rays they drink natures wine
Reflections dance, golden brown on blue
Across the lake in front of you
Beautifully deep and wildly wide
Filled with treasure's, down deep inside
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Maryanne Williamson
A random inspirational thought for the day :-)

Pleasley Pit was the oldest and deepest pit in the East Midlands coalfield. The first shafts at Pleasley colliery were sunk between 1872 and 1875 and the colliery finally ceased production in 1983.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.

Our deepest fear in not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
Nuestro mayor temor no es que seamos inadecuados, sino que seamos más poderosos de lo que imaginamos.
It is our light, not our darkness that more frightens us.
Es nuestra luz, no nuestra oscuridad lo que más nos asusta.
With the deepest of sadness, our dearest beloved dog Cookie passed away last Thursday. He was the gentlest, most well mannered, sweet natured, contented and smart dog anyone could ever have wished for. We were lucky to have been blessed with him as part of our family.
Being a black and very shiny Labrador Retreiver, he was also a huge challenge to photograph and helped me develop my skills along the way. It was always very satisfying when I managed to take a decent photograph of him.
RIP Cookie, you were too young to go and leave behind a huge gaping hole in our lives 💔💔💔
West Hawk Lake in White Shell Provincial Park, Manitoba, Canada, is stunning. While enjoying an evening dip in the sandy beach after a 30C day, a float plan passed by several times, providing entertainment for the beach goers: racing a motorboat, performing sharp turns, and then gently landing on the peaceful waters. This lake, formed by an ancient meteorite, is a crater and as such is the deepest lake in the province of Manitoba. I’m grateful to have experienced the solace and tranquility and its cool refreshing waters.
~ Everything I want to say to you is wrapped up in an old cliche
I'd waited so long to find you, I'd been through the heartbreak and pain,
But of course you already know that 'cause you've been throught the same.
That's why I'm trying to say with my deepest sincerity
That's why I'm finding it comes down to the basic simplicities
The best way is with an old cliche
... I love you ~
Although this song is in fact sung by a man to his woman... I thought it could also be the other way round... anyway, this song was on my mind and in my ears while shooting the pic.

At the top right, a monument depicting a stylized albatross was erected in Dec. 1992.
A poem by the Chilean poet Sara Vial for the drowned can be found on a plaque nearby:
I am the albatross waiting for you at the end of the world.
I am the forgotten soul of the dead sailors
who sailed to Cape Horn from all the seas of the earth.
But they did not die in the raging waves,
for now they fly on my wings into eternity for all time,
where the Antarctic storm howls at the deepest abyss.
Blea Water seen from Long Stile.
At just over 200 ft (61m) deep it is the deepest tarn in the Lake District.
In the field of deepest green
A wild beast it is seen
Behind the grass, under the trees
It smells your scent on the breeze
Standing still, i watch it there
Captured in a wild blur
The deepest darkest corners of Lulworth Castle..... actually it's ground level... lol... not that deep at all.... but ya gotta sound dramatic even if you're not... :)
Devil's Dyke on a misty day (19/06/23)

Chand Baori is a stepwell situated in the village of Abhaneri in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It extends approximately 30 m (100 ft) into the ground, making it one of the deepest and largest stepwells in India. It is named after a local ruler of Nikumbh dynasty called Raja Chanda and its construction is dated to the 8th-9th century. It has 3500 steps cascading 13 stories deep into a massive tank at the bottom and has been constructed in an upside-down pyramid style.
Chand Baori is said to be named after a local ruler of Nikumbh Rajput dynasty called Raja Chanda. However, no epigraphic evidence has been found regarding the construction of the Chand Baori or the adjoining Harshat Mata Temple. Based on similarities in style and carvings with the terraced temples of Paranagar and Mandore, the Baori can be dated to the 8th-9th century. It was likely constructed before the temple. According to Morna Livingston in Steps to Water: The Ancient Stepwells of India, Chand Baori is one of the few stepwells that has "two classical periods of water building in a single setting".
The oldest parts of the step-well date from the 8th century onwards. An upper palace building was added to the site, which can be seen from the tabulated arches used by the Chauhan rulers. Adjoining the baori is the architecturally splendid and sculpturally beautiful Harshat Mata Temple, which was built between the 7th-8th century, but was destroyed and damaged by Mahmud Ghazni. Many of its pillars, columns, and statues now lie scattered. The Mughals also destroyed the Baori interior sculptures. Today, there are remains of old sculptures and carvings, which were suggested to be in the temple or in the various rooms. The nearby temple of Harshat Mata, goddess of joy, was a pilgrimage site and formed a complex together alongside the well.
Many of these stepwells, including Chand Baori, served multiple purposes alongside drawing water and playing a significant role in religious or ceremonial activities. Pilgrims are said to have found comfort in quenching their thirst and finding a resting spot at the steps of Chand Baori after their long travels. This unique form of underground well-architecture remains constant from the 7th century in the existing monument. Excavated stones of the temple are now kept by the Archaeological Survey of India in the arcades of the well. Chand Baori is a significant architectural site in western India.
Chand Baori is a deep four-sided well with a large temple located in the back of the well. The basic architectural aspects of the monumental well consists of a long corridor of steps leading to five or six stories below ground level, which can be seen at the site. Chand Baori consists of 3,500 narrow steps over 13 stories. The state of Rajasthan is extremely arid, and the design and final structure of Chand Baori were intended to conserve as much water as possible.
Ancient Indian scriptures made references to the construction of wells, canals, tanks, and dams and their efficient operation and maintenance. This site combined many of these operations to allow for easy access to local water. At the bottom of the well, the air remains 5-6 °C cooler than at the surface, and Chand Baori was used as a community gathering place for locals during periods of intense heat. One side of the well has a haveli pavilion and resting room for the royals.
Chand Baori is considered to be one of the oldest surviving step wells in the country. On three sides, it has 3500 steps cascading 13 stories deep into a massive tank at the bottom. The fourth side has pillared corridors at many levels. Of interest here is its exquisite diamond-setting geometry of the cascading steps on three sides and the image of Sheshasayee Vishnu reclining on the serpent Ananta. This baori or stepwell has been constructed in an upside-down pyramid-style. The classical Indian texts on architecture (Vastu) like Aparajitapriccha or Vishvakarma's Vastushastra call this design a vijay vapi. The baori has double flights of steps on each of its ten landings on all three sides. On the fourth side, to the north, is a pillared corridor of many stories. This wall at the north contains two projected offsets to house a niche in each of them. These two niches serve as shrines, the right one houses the deity Ganesha while the left one has an image of Mahishasuramardini. The Ganesha shrine is crowned with chaitya having a female dancer and her attendant carved over it. There are many other dancing figures and attendants carved around this structure. On the upper section, carvings depicting Uma-Maheshwara and Simhavahini Durga can be seen in small modifications, repairs, and reconstructions since its construction as it was in continuous use till the late medieval period. The ancient stepwell underwent many changes for both beautification and better utility. A pillared verandah on all four sides seems to be a later addition. There is also a small room, Anderi Ujala, which was a spot to draw water with some traditional pulley-like equipment. Legend also says that a tunnel connected Abhaneri to Dausa.
Lisbon's 140-year-old Glória funicular, which is popular with tourists, derailed and crashed into a building at around 18:15 local time (17:15 GMT) on Wednesday.
It is not known how many passengers were on board when the crash happened.
A crash killed at least 16/17 people, more than 20 others were injured.
Crash happened on the right side up the street where red house meets white house, behind the green sign "SUBWAY"
First opened in 1885 and electrified in 1915, the Glória is one of three funicular lines run by Lisbon municipal transport company, Carris.
The Glória system is made up of two streetcars running in parallel and hauled by steel cables: so as one descends, its weight pulls the other uphill.
Designated a national monument, the Elevador da Glória carries about 3 million passengers a year.
Details about the crash you can see and read here:
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

A cloud bank out over the ocean obscures another sunset; oh well!
Tripod-mounted with Lee Big Stopper & remote trigger. Thirty seconds was only just enough, but I managed to keep the dogs off of the pristine beach in the foreground; hurrah!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
