"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy." - Anne Frank. There was a tree that she could catch a glimpse of from an attic window in the place where they were in hiding. She managed to find beauty while immersed in the depths of ugliness. This is a leaf from a huge Water Oak that is in our yard. It's not the same kind of tree as that which Anne viewed but I think she would still see the beauty.

Richmond Park has a wonderful collection of gnarly trees with anthropomophic features. The features are not quite so well defined in this, but it makes up for it by its scale and he has a lovely white beard. A tree with a beard, Treebeard?
Beauty is harmony and aesthetics but the small bumps and mistakes give it the individual character

Defining beauty
According to the artist Olafur Eliasson, the sculpture „Umschreibung“ is supposed to create movement without destination, a space defined by motion rather than walls.
Oshten (Adyghe Oshyuten) is one of the mountains in the western part of the Caucasus Range. Oshten, Pshekha-Su and Fisht (43°59' N and 39°53' E) form one mountain range, with a wide, torn into several parts peak and are separated from each other by a saddle, passing in the south southeast direction. Oshten, together with Fisht, are the first peaks from the western end of the Caucasus Range, rising to the height of the snow line and covered not only with snow, but also with small glaciers, about 10 in number. The snow line on Oshten and Fisht, located from the Black Sea, is only 40 miles and subject to its strong influence, falls very low - up to a height of 2,737 meters above sea level. On these peaks, rocks and a clearly defined zone of alpine meadows protrude, while to the west of them the Caucasus Mountains almost nowhere rise above the upper border of the forests and almost everywhere are covered with them to the very tops. Oshten consists of only limestones. Several fairly large rivers flow from Oshten, Fisht and their spurs: Tsitse and Pshekha head north from them, and Belaya south.
The peak is not categorized, but there are climbing routes of difficulty categories up to 1B and 2B

Excerpt from the plaque:
Chimera by Denys Horodnyak and Enzo Zak Lux
Chimera engages with the notion of mirage through a twofold perspective. On a material level, it offers a direct, tangible interpretation of illusion, employing fisheye mirrors as aesthetic modules that distort perception. On a sensory and conceptual level, it serves as a dialectical reflection on the fragmentation of physical and digital realities, exposing the delicate imbalance between control and security – two cornerstones that define modernity.
From a distance, the installation blends seamlessly with its surroundings, dissolving into space through a cascade of mirrored repetitions. Moving closer – the illusion unravels, revealing the framework that sustains it. In this encounter, the viewer meets their own reflection multiplied and displaced, a shifting constellation of selves that provokes an uneasy awareness of being observed. The viewing platform becomes a t4emporary sanctuary – a cocoon of quiet detachment – from which the gaze can wander freely into the open expanse beyond.
"Our lives are defined by opportunities; even the ones we miss." - Eric Roth
While setting up this shot several people stopped to watch what I was doing which I guess is to be expected when doing toy photography in a crowded National Park. There was a time when that kind of attention made me anxious , feeling like I’m the weird guy taking pictures of toys in public. But now when I see someone watching, I’ll ask them, “You wanna see what the shot looks like?” They almost always say yes and so I show them the back of the camera. It has led to some great conversations and even a few new followers.
Unfortunately I was too focused on setting up the shot today and dealing with wind gusts that I didn’t interact as much with the people who were curious about what I was doing.
Perhaps being hyper focused on taking a photo about “missed opportunities” was a missed opportunity in and of itself.

I’m not back, not just because of the Flickr Contacts problem (http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/63201/) but because, once again, I have a huge workload that demands my attention. But it’s my birthday today, and this is one of my favorite shots that I turned into a Dictionary of Image photo, so I’m giving it to myself, and to my Flickr friends, as a present.
Just out of curiosity, when you comment, I would very much appreciate it if you tell me if you came here because you saw this on your Contacts page, through a comment or in a pool. Thanks very much.
It is Bine's birthday, too, so please go wish her all the best:

Downtown yesterday

So many times, I let myself feel overwhelmed, like the walls of my world are pushing in on me, and all I can do is cower, or deflect.
This shot reminds me that I define my own world, as much as it defines me...and this shot aligns me in the direction of what is most important...

What are you thankful for? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the United States, and despite the turmoil here and throughout the world over the last few months, there’s still much to be thankful for. Allow me to explain it through this image: I spent two weeks in the mountains of North Carolina this October specifically to try to define autumn in astonishing ways with the camera… as that area has been in a drought since June, that effort was a difficult one. Clouds are the canvas that sunrises and sunsets project their palettes of color to, but they often refused to cooperate this year.
I was disappointed with weather predictions that entire trip and this morning was no different… hoping for clouds the evening before and on the drive up to Rough Ridge, I got exactly what I was looking for… clouds! The only problem was that they weren’t where I expected them to be. It was still dark when I set up here, and you could see stars down on the horizon… not a good sign. As the sun rose, it was blue skies for sure… yet, with this inversion layer of clouds giving their best impression of a turbulent ocean crashing on an island shore, and the brilliant sun breaking through this colorful autumnal screen, I am no less than thankful for what it gave me.
Did you ever stop to think that it’s quite impossible to be discontented and thankful at the same time? Thankful people see blessings amidst burdens. As does the sun, indifferent of clouds, blessings shine on and eventually break through.
I am thankful to call you all friends this Thanksgiving. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Este pequeño edificio con planta de cruz griega, inusual en la arquitectura asturiana sigue los parámetros tradicionales: consta de cinco segmentos cuadrilátero definido por arcos que descansan sobre una arquería ciega que corre a través de las paredes laterales, uno de ellos, el más grande, que forma la nave principal. El piso es de dos niveles con la entrada inferior del altar. El tipo de bóveda usada es los arcos de bóveda de cañón que descansan sobre reforzada en el exterior por contrafuertes.
Viene con nártex y iconostasio, que consta de tres arcos de piedra que descansan sobre cuatro capiteles con sus cuatro columnas de mármol cerradas por corte enrejado en forma rectangular, que separa el presbiterio de la nave. En el fondo se puede ver el iconostasio que sigue el arte tradicional de Ramiro I, pero se puede ver en los visigodos motivos de decoración.
This small building with a Greek cross plan, unusual in the Asturian architecture follows the traditional parameters: consists of five segments quadrilateral defined by arches that rest on a blind arcade that runs through the side walls, one of them, the largest, which forms the main nave. The floor is on two levels with the lower entrance from the altar. The dome type used is the barrel vault arches resting on reinforced on the outside by buttresses.

In the background you can see the iconostasis which follow the traditional art of Ramiro I, but can be seen in the decoration motifs Visigoths.
"Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder"
An often quoted expression with a long history of usage - and I have resisted the temptation to provide that history here.
I suspect my play on words is somewhat shallow but what cannot be denied is the magnificence and beauty of these creatures. I hope you agree!
We owe them so much! HMM!
Thanks for all views, favs and comments!

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Dickson-Hill-HC...:
Dickson Hill is one of the most unique communities in the City of Cambridge.
Dickson Hill is named for the Honourable William Dickson, a prominent Galt settler who arrived to the area in 1816. Dickson is credited with founding the Village of Galt due to his considerable land holdings and was responsible for much of the commercial development on the west bank of the Grand River.
His son, William Dickson Jr., acquired most of the lands that currently make up the residential area of Dickson Hill. His own residence, located at 16 Byng Avenue was constructed in 1832. The development of the residential component occurred over several decades and by a series of developers. Florence Dickson, niece to William Dickson Jr., and his heir, controlled the development of this area until the 1890’s.
Dickson Hill features an extremely high concentration of significant buildings of various types: residential, institutional, commercial and manufacturing. In addition to the buildings, key elements that define the character of Dickson Hill are:
• Tree-lined streets;
• Distinctive globe street lights; and
• Prominent urban public spaces and landscape features.
The Bee:
In the 1800s Manchester was awash with textile mills that were commonly described as ‘hives of activity’ and the workers inside them compared to bees. From there the worker Bee became the symbol of Manchester. There are many references to the Bee thought-out the City Centre.
The Metrolink:
The tram in the picture has stopped at the St Peter's Square tram station. The Metrolink opened on 27 April 1992 and is in the City Zone of Greater Manchester's Metrolink light rail system. The stop's platforms were extended in 2009. Later redevelopment in 2015–16 demolished the original two platforms and replaced them with a four-platform interchange.
Rain:
Well that speaks for itself; Manchester is known the world over as a rainy city.
The image is straight although it doesn’t look it….
