I'd describe this nature scene as "chaotic harmony".

Captain Davie described the configuration of the great banking room. "Before conversion, three sets of four teller stations were placed between the square pillars on the right side. Each station included the main parts of classical architecture in reduced size, the horizontal entablature resting on the two vertical columns and consisting of cornice, frieze, and architrave. Strong structures supported a bronze hinged wicket at each of the 16 positions. Some of these groupings have been rearranged to accommodate hotel design requirements."

Although the use of the San Diego Trust & Savings Bank building changed ten years ago, from a bank and offices to a hotel with 245 guest rooms, the original features of the structure remain remarkably intact. The Courtyard-Marriott Hotel, located in the heart of a vibrant downtown San Diego, is a spectacular example of successful readapted use. The hotel stands proud in the bank's place, as the sentinel of an important piece of San Diego history.

Courtyard by Marriott - This excellent example of adaptive reuse was a 1999 People In Preservation award winner. 224

Also called 'Willey Mill'.

The mill still stands, almost in its original state, at a bend in the Tame some 100yds down stream from Delph Bridge. The mill race still flows beneath the building, and continues alongside and above the river to the Rasping Mill some 250yds downstream.

It was described .. “There was a home in the mill, with living room, parlour and kitchen”

Grand Parade in Bath from the River Avon, with the rushing waters of the Pulteney Weir obvious.

On the left is the late Victorian mass of the Empire Hotel, as it was. Completed in 1902, it designed by the Bath City Architect Major Charles Edward Davis for the hotelier Alfred Holland and built from Bath Stone. It was described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as a ‘monstrosity and an unbelievable piece of pompous architecture’. I rather like it, albeit it IS rather pompous.

Right of shot is Pulteney Bridge, a bridge over the River Avon in Bath, England. It was completed by 1774, and connected the city with the land of the Pulteney family which it wished to develop in the parish of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is highly unusual in that it has shops built across its full span on both sides. It is a Grade I listed building.

In the centre is spire of St Michael’s Church, a Victorian structure on a site used for Christian worship since medieval times. It was built in 1835-7 to a design by G P Manners with tall and narrow ‘W’ tower. It is Grade II* listed.

To its left, on Grand Parade, is the dome of the 1897 Victoria Art Gallery, also Grade II* listed.

Described as the largest sand sculpture event in the world,the International Sand Sculpture Festival or Festival Internacional de Escultura em Areia (FIESA) has been held in Pêra, Algarve, Portugal annually since 2003. The site at 37.1289°N 8.3310°WCoordinates: 37.1289°N 8.3310°W occupies 15,000 square metres (3.7 acres). Each year about 60 artists use 35000 tons of sand to create 50 works of art. The exhibition is also open in the evenings with atmospheric lighting

On previous photo I have described Domino as No.3 national sport. That is of course debatable. There are many snacks available (at least were pre-pandemic). I do not think any of the street snacks are doctor recommended. The snacks have local names, which are not in any dictionary. If you want them you just point. I tried few. Did not like any. It does not mean anything. If you like sweet, oily, fried, you may find them irresistible. The little worms the lady is eating were pretty bad, but I asked two kids if they want those and they happily took them. The murals in Habana Vieja are very good. This one is by Picasso from 1962. Just kidding. Beto and Vatica Betares from Argentina; January 2014.

En la foto anterior he descrito Domino como deporte nacional No.3. Eso es, por supuesto, discutible. Hay muchos bocadillos disponibles (al menos antes de la pandemia). No creo que ninguno de los bocadillos de la calle sea recomendado por un médico. Los antojitos tienen nombres locales, que no están en ningún diccionario. Si los quieres solo apuntas. Probé pocos. No me gustó ninguno. No significa nada. Si te gustan los dulces, los grasos, los fritos, puede que te resulten irresistibles. Los gusanitos que se está comiendo la señora estaban bastante malos, pero les pregunté a dos niños si los querían y se los llevaron felices. Los murales en la Habana Vieja son bastante buenos. Este es de Picasso de 1962. Es broma. Beto y Vatica Betares de Argentina; Enero 2014.

Described as the finest view in England. Hard to argue!

Bibury in Gloucestershire was described by William Morris (1834-96), the textile designer, artist, poet and craftsman, as "the most beautiful village in England". And, all these years on, it surely must still lay claim to that accolade.

Set in the Cotswolds region, this is Arlington Row in Bibury, a picture-perfect terrace of cottages built in 1380 as a monastic wool store. It was converted into a row of weavers' cottages in the 17th century, and today they are owned by the National Trust, who lease all but one to private tenants. Number 9 is available as a holiday rental.

Opposite the cottages (and in the foreground here) is a boggy water meadow known as Rack Isle, also owned and administered by the National Trust. And heading away from Arlington Row is Awkward Hill – nobody quite knows why it was so named, apart from the fact that it’s a steep climb!

All in all, Bibury is a picturesque and rewarding village to visit. But I can’t help thinking that to live here, among the hordes of tourists, must be a nightmare.

The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.

The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

As described several days ago, adult Least Bitterns feed their young by gathering baitfish in their gullets and regurgitating the food into the chicks' gaping beaks. Here is how it looks in practice with mama on the right and baby on the left, poking mama's throat to trigger the action.

"Monarch scientist Dr. Karen Oberhauser describes the process: "To emerge, the adult monarch must split open the pupa cuticle along a line of weakness. ...First, it swallows air through the pupal spiracles. The adult then swallows some of this air into its digestive system. The air causes the body of the monarch to expand. Finally, the cuticle splits along the line of weakness and the adult pulls itself out.""

yesterday this magic, poetic, romantic, artistic town, the most beautiful town in the world has given all her fragility...

187 cm high water caused all this...

My title is a mouthful, and it is one way of tipping my hat to the 19th century Tasmanian painters who loved to string together very descriptive phrases for their work. So this scene is as described in the title.

The sunset light looking north on this winter's evening was so full of pastel shades, that I had to take advantage of the scene - especially with that pool of water offering some golden reflections.

Many people are amazed at the way Australian mountains appear blue in the distance - even in the midday sun. I'm told that when eucalyptus oils, dust particles, and water vapour (transpiration) from the leaves combine, as the sunlight hits, it creates an optical illusion of a blue haze.

The technical term for this is "Mie scattering" which occurs when incoming light with shorter wavelengths is preferentially scattered by particles within the atmosphere imparting a blueish colour to any distant objects, including mountains and clouds. It is even more pronounced in low light. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

Glen Lyon has been described as Scotland’s longest, loneliest and loveliest glen. Stretching for over 30 miles, it was once home to over 2,000 people. Today, the Glen’s residents number fewer than 100.

Follow the Fortingall Way to Fortingall village. Just after the village turn right on to the twisting single track road that runs through the glen. The road is initially hemmed in by high mountains and hugs the wooded banks of the River Lyon. Just after the four-arched Bridge of Lyon you’ll see a deep chasm known as MacGregor’s Leap where, in 1565, the chief of the Clan MacGregor reputedly escaped a group of pursuing Campbell's. This commanding view was taken from the dam over looking the spillway, you can see the single track road that leads you all the way back to Fortingall.

Hard to describe Marley in one word as he is a cat of many words...."happy" is the first thing I think of. He is always posing for me turning upside down with paws curled up in the air looking at me being ever so cute whenever I talk to him.

He walks around the house with tail up most times, purrs whenever he is fed...a sign of a confident and happy cat. He is also the most gentle of cats...I can't recall ever being scratched by him.

Happy Caturday!

Turquoise is used to describe things that are of a light greenish-blue colour. ... a clear turquoise sea.

Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.

Richard MacDonald (born 1946) is a California-based contemporary figurative artist known for his bronze sculptures and his association with Cirque Du Soleil. His work has been acquired for the permanent collections of corporations such as AT&T, IBM, and Anheuser-Busch, as well as notable private collections. His work has been described as "paying tribute to the eloquence of the human form." He is an advocate of neo-realism and figurative art.

As an amateur observer, I would describe the formation of beautiful cinnamon-colored fungi on top of a wet dead piece of tree in the Chilean Patagonia as a breathtaking sight. The vivid color of the fungi stands out against the dull and muted tones of the dead tree, making them appear even more vibrant and alive.

The fungi are growing in a cluster, creating an eye-catching display of varying shapes and sizes. Their caps are slightly rounded, with a smooth textured surface. The cinnamon color has a range of hues, from deep brown to lighter orange tones, giving the fungi a warm and earthy look.

As the piece of tree is wet, the fungi might be glistening in the light, with small droplets of water on their surface. This adds to their beauty and gives them a dewy and fresh appearance.

Overall, the formation of these cinnamon-colored fungi on top of the dead tree is a stunning example of the beauty of nature, showcasing the intricate and delicate balance of life and death in the Chilean Patagonia.

It's almost my daily commute. So that's it with the description;). LOL. Hey, luckily you don't have to go to the office that often. ;) For us, the home office was well known even before Covid. But let's get to the photo. Oh, you probably already know that. The strange Alexanderplatz, meanwhile, there is also a lot of building going on here. If politics doesn't get involved again, things could look different here in two to three years. I have to stop myself laughing, hey, the Berliners now have an advantage. Because they know what I mean. It's way too late here again. Enough written. Just discover for yourself and have fun.

Functional is about the best way you can describe this building. No one was around at the time, and in fact you rarely see anyone around this police station - not the place to be seen perhaps. And you have to wonder what is being thrown out with the trash in that wheelie bin. But not all is prosaic. That sky is clearing and the light is breaking through. Beauty is all around if we look hard enough.

A female stands in water grooming in the middle of a small flock. While the males get a lot more attention, I find the females have a lovely subtle plumage, and the fall reflections on the water framed the scene well.

A larger group spent several weeks on the Lake in the fall, spooked and flushed periodically by Hawks and the occasional Bald Eagle. The species is a frequent fall visitor, and there are occasional northbound migrants in the spring.

A feature of the species that always seems striking to my eye is the short, beautifully coloured bill. It is often described as ‘goose-like’ and it helps them have greater pulling force on the underwater greens that form the core of their diet.

As far as I know the first to describe this exuberantly orange Azalea was the well-known German-Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume (1796-1862). He wrote his short description in 1823 almost immediately after becoming director of 's-Lands Plantentuin (Kebun Raya) in what was then Buitenzorg, today Bogor on Java, Indonesia. There has been some confusion about the provenance of our shrub, whether China or Japan. Apparently both varieties are so alike that the scientific name on which scientists agree is Rhododendron molle (Blume) G. Don, subsp. japonicum Kron.

If you want to learn more go to the fine article - including great maps - by Kathleen Anne Kron (1956-) in the Edinburgh Journal of Botany 1993, pp.279-281. Worth a read.

Just a bit too slow to capture an actual resident of this pretty mews in Kensington.

"The word "mews" comes from the French word muer, meaning "to moult," originating from the Royal Mews at Charing Cross where royal hawks were housed during their feather-shedding season. When the hawks moved, the site was converted into stables for horses and carriages, but the name "mews" stuck, eventually describing similar stable-and-coach-house buildings built behind grand London homes.

When I asked her to describe herself, she said " ... gregarious, sensitive, hopeful ..."

Available light was from the kitchen windows. Attempting to get deeper richer tones, I shrank the aperture too much, with ISO 6400 a by-product, and, of course, a lots of noise! I have not tried to clean that up in these images. Instead, I resorted to sepia in two of the shots, resulting in the noise being slightly less obvious.

I find it quite challenging to attend to all the technical necessities while chatting with the subject. But, being housebound now, portrait and bird photography are two horizons for growth I can take on. Am sharing with you my maiden efforts, with all their imperfections. Elizabeth is beautiful and I hope to invite her to sit for me again after I have a little more experience with portrait photography.

Hard to describe the music of 'Petunia & the Vipers’. It's country, it's western swing, jazzy, ballads; simply good time music that leaves smile on your face. The concert just flew by so very quickly. I did not know the band, but one of Toronto most talented musicians got involved and it became a show, which you should not miss. Trombone Charlotte was the Toronto addition. Petunia lured her on their next stop to New Orleans, LA, where her star got even more shine.

'Petunia and the Vipers' was at 'Horseshoe', a Toronto institution since 1947. The leader of the band is amazing guitarist, vocalist and jodelist Petunia (Ron), who ended up playing with 5 strings (or was it just 4?) on last few songs. With Trombone Charlotte on stage playing, singing and off stage dancing, Joseph Abbott on clarinet, sax and guitar, Paul Townsend on drums, Liam McIvor on Fender steel guitar plus the man with a hat, Aaron Harmonsen on bass.

The Heritage Council describes the Mount Gould Police Station thus:

The Mount Gould Police Station opened in the 1880s as a centre for police protection for Murchison pastoralists. In the late 1890s early 1900s, the police were concerned with checking cattle and sheep killing by the local Aboriginals. The buildings consist of the main station, which originally had a separate kitchen, lock-up, stone-lined well and a grave. Iron bars, to which prisoners were chained, are still set in the walls of the lock-up. On 3 June 1987, the restored Mt Gould police station was dedicated to all the pioneers who settled the district.

No mention of the treatment of the First Nations people who were often made to walk in chains to Carnarvon, some 450 kilometres away. Imagine doing this in the summer heat where the temperatures can exceed 40 °C.

Nor any mention of the Wajarri people, who had their own complaints regarding the disruption of water supplies and native wildlife by the pastoralists.

We camped here overnight. It still lingers in my mind, giving me an ill feeling. There is a feeling, a spirit about this place. I was happy to move on early the next morning.

Gloriosa superba, the name itself describes it well. It is native to the Indian and African subcontinents, but has also been introduced to the Americas.

It's Sanskrit name is Agnishikha, meaning flame tipped, and one of the common English name is also flame lily.

As such, it seemed to be an appropriate photo to post on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights.

Duckett’s Grove is described by Mark Bence-Jones in his book 'A Guide to Irish Country Houses' "A square house of 2 and three storeys, transformed into a spectacular castellated Gothic fantasy by Thomas A. Cobden … for J. D. Duckett 1830. Numerous towers and turrets, round, square and octagonal; notably a heavily machicolated round tower with a tall octagonal turret growing out of it. The walls enlivened with oriels and many canopied niches sheltering statues; more statues and busts in niches along the battlemented wall joining the house to a massively feudal yard gateway; yet more statues manning the battlements of one of the towers, and disposed around the house on pedestals………. The house was burnt 1933 and is now a ruin. "

Described as "perhaps the most notable wooden Orthodox church in Finland", St Nicholas' Church in Joensuu, the second largest Orthodox parish in Finland after Helsinki, was built in 1887.

It is located at one end of Kirkkokatu (Church Street) - the Lutheran parish church is at the other end.

My favored birding guide describes the Green Heron as a short and compact bird that usually appears neckless. That could explain why the baitfish are always so surprised to find themselves struck by an unnoticed predator from more than a foot above.

A view of the south side of llyn Cwmorthin near Blaenau Ffestiniog. Above the village of Tanygrisiau in Meirionnydd is a hidden valley. Described by many as a magical place, it has a history all of its own - a history of rural hardship, one of remoteness and of industrialisation.

Once home to many working class families who gathered there in the boom years of the 19th Century slate-rush, joining a farming community that had lived there for centuries before.

From reputedly as early as the 11th Century to the 1940s it proved a home to many a family and lodger alike. Now only ghosts remain.

I'm not sure how to describe this scene ;-)

Although Prunus tenella, Dwarf Russian Almond, was first scientifically described and renamed from Amygdalus nana in 1801 by August Johann Georg Karl Batsch (1761-1802), it was already well-known in Europe. I don't know from when, but James Sutherland in 1683 was growing it in England; and fine gardener Abraham Munting (1626-1683) of Groningen gave an interesting description in his great work on plants.

Our Almond is notorious for being very bitter. Munting says that bitterness may be mitigated if its roots are watered with kamerloog or cold menschen-water, which is to say: urine.

Regarding the English name Dwarf Russian Almond - you know me - I had to look for some references to Russia. So I found the travel journals of the German zoologist and botanist Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811). He came into the service in St Petersburg of Catherine II from 1767 onwards. Soon he was on his way to Eastern parts as far as Lake Baikal. Several times in his journal he mentions our Nana, the first time in the region of Bobovnik (Slovenia). Here this Plum is called Calmytskié-orékhi (Kalmuk nut). He writes engagingly that oil pressed from the bitter fruits is good in salads and that a liquor can also be distilled from them. If the gardeners of the Hortus allow me, I might taste a 'prune' when it comes into season.

In any case, here a Comma Hoverfly, Eupeodes sp., has found its way to the pollen of the Prunus flowers. I wonder whether it's bitter.

I described a pure natural garden yesterday, and here's another example. Not a plant out of place up in the mountains.

When in 1917, at 48 years old, the painter discovered Nice, the light and reflections of the Mediterranean Sea aroused an unparalleled emotion in him. From 1921 to 1938 the artist lived in an apartment in the lively Cours Saleya, in Old Nice. From the balcony of his studio on the 4th floor overlooking the sea, he positioned his models in carefully arranged and highly theatrical settings, using an array of props, furniture and fabrics from his own collection.

Beautiful. How else can I describe the dawn sunrise this morning. When you have to get up at silly O’ clock which was 3:25 am in the morning I always debate the night before will it be really worth it? I look at my weather apps, I check the tide, I check the sea conditions trying to find something to tell me to stay in bed. The fact I’m checking all this stuff I’m already committed, I will always go for it, and usually the sunrise is not too special. Don’t get me wrong once I’m out at that time regardless of the conditions it the best feeling in the world, I’m always at peace with the world. But this morning was something else, the sunrise could not have been better, it was beautiful. Now all I have to do is get a photo that gives me something back of that morning.

You might describe this LF Faith Dress & Fur Stole as making a provocative statement and intended to make someone feel sexual desire. I don’t know about you, but for me this dress raises the temperature in the room significantly.

Yesterday, being sexy was about particular grooming, tight-fitting clothes and makeup. Today, we understand that being sexy has more to do with a certain je ne sais quoi, an elusive pleasing quality.

Although science has tried to measure what makes a person more appealing, most of us know that attractiveness can’t be boiled down to algorithms. Real sexiness is in the eye of the beholder. Wearing this dress however certainly adds to warming one's eyes, of course.

This sexy Faith Dress Outfit comes with Gown, Fur Stole, and Diamond Panties. It also features a HUD which offers you 10 color choices for the Dress & Stole with 8 colors for the Diamond Panties.

This LF Faith Dress fits Erika, Gen X Classic (+Curvy), Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya Lara (+ Petite), Prima Busty (+ Petite), and Reborn mesh bodies.

You will find this LF Faith Dress exclusively available now at SWANK RENEW YOURSELF JANUARY 2023 EVENT:

A splendid sunset at Ashness Jetty despite what can only be described as biblical midges.

Zephyranthes candida was first described by John Lindley in 1823 as Amaryllis candida.

Zephyranthes candida, with common names that include autumn zephyrlily, white windflower and Peruvian swamp lily, is a species of rain lily native to South America including Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. The species is widely cultivated as an ornamental and reportedly naturalized in many places (South Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Zimbabwe, Seychelles, central and southern China, Korea and other).

The Amaryllidaceae include many ornamental garden plants such as daffodils, snowdrops and snowflake, pot plants such as amaryllis and Clivia, and vegetables, such as onions, chives, leeks and garlic. A number of tropical lily-like plants are also sold, such as the belladonna lily, Amazon lily, blood lily (Cape tulip), Cornish lily (Nerine), and the Eurasian winter daffodil, Sternbergia.
