The name "Hippocrepis" comes from the Greek for "horse" (hippo-) and for "shoe" (-krepis): literally, "horseshoe"; this is descriptive of the shape of the fruit segments.

The theme this week for Macro Mondays is "Luscious" and I think that is a wonderful descriptive term to use with just about any fruit--but especially cherries.

description
The DSR-1 rifle was designed by certain German former military ordnance engineers and bench-rest gunsmiths. This rifle is manufactured since 2000 by German company DSR-Precision GmbH. Before 2004 the same rifle was also sold by another German company, the AMP Technical Services, which was a non-exclusive dealer of DSR-Precision but is no longer so. At the present time DRS 1 rifle is being marketed by its only manufacturer, DSR-Precision GmbH. The DSR 1 is a specialized sniper rifle (not a conversion of the standard military or hunting gun). It is adopted by German GSG 9 counter-terror group, as well as by some other elite European law enforcement agencies and certain non-European military Special Operations forces.
The DSR-1 is configured into bull-pup design, with free-floating barrel. The folding bipod is mounted onto upper rails (above the barrel), and the adjustable horizontal front grip is mounted on the lower rails (under the barrel). The rifle features fully adjustable buttstock and cheekpiece. The holder for spare magazine is installed in the front of the triggerguard to decrease reloading time or to have different type of ammunition (i.e. armor piercing) handy. DSR-1 action features match-grade, fluted barrel that is quickly interchangeable and is fixed into receiver by three screws. The action is designed for .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition, with conversion kits available for smaller calibers such as .308 Winchester or .300 Winchester Magnum. The bolt features six radial lugs that lock directly into the barrel. The barrel is protected by ventilated aluminum handguard and is fitted with muzzle brake (very useful when firing full-power magnum loads). The integrally silenced version of the DSR-1, also known as DSR-1 Subsonic, is unusual in the fact that the silencer is attached to the receiver rather than the barrel. Thus, the barrel is still free-floated within the silencer, and this guarantees consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. The trigger is two-stage, adjustable. DSR-1 features manual, ambidextrous three position safety, located above the triggerguard.
The expected accuracy of the DSR-1 is almost extreme: some sources state sub-.2 MOA accuracy (0.20 inch / 5 mm groups measured center-to-center at 100 yards) when shot by experienced operator, with correct ammunition and in good environment conditions.

Something's not quite right here.............
This sign has been situated on Sand Bank in Bloxwich for many months now, due to the replacement of the rail bridge on Broad Lane.
I am sure that down through the centuries Bloxwich folks have been involved in many activities. My own family has a history in this town that stretches back well over two hundred years, with my ancestors involved in trades as diverse as retail, mining, locks, butchery, property management and hospitality to name but a few.
But witchcraft? Really???? In Bloxwich???
The name Bloxwich derives from "Blochescwic", an Anglo Saxon geographic descriptive meaning literally "Bloc's Village". So in other words that's the village belonging to Bloc, not the witch belonging to Bloc!
Unlike nearby Walsall, Bloxwich did feature in the Doomsday Book, and was staunchly Royalist during the civil war, when Walsall turned to parliament.
During the 17th and 18th centuries there was much bad feeling from Bloxwich towards Walsall over local taxes (not all that much changes with the passage of time obviously!)
But as far as I can tell, at no point in the ancient history of Bloxwich is the dark art of witchcraft mentioned!
Well done Network Rail! :-)

#500: As of 1/8/19, under Flickr's popularity rankings of my 1400+ pics, this is listed as #500 in "interestingness."
I've been engaging in some short, private crossdressing opportunities at home recently, after acquiring and trying out some new clothes, shoes, and accessories. This is the 171st pic posted from this recent CD activity, and taken just in September.
As usual, I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features Worthington "hot coral" matching pieces from JC Penney: slim-fit ankle pants and a flounce-stitch open-front cardigan. These are coordinated with a sleeveless "peach tribal" blouse, "spiced coral" suede Jessica Simpson ultra-high-heel pumps, and a complementary waist belt, scarf, and jewelry.
More about this and other new 2017 pics was written up recently in a descriptive Update provided in my profile or "About" page here on Flickr. It details some choices made for these 2017 pics.
Let me know your thoughts... :-)

The following descriptive text was written by the artist, Martin Travers. Travers painted this outstanding mural in 2002 on a wooden fence in Balmy Alley, the Mission District, San Francisco, California
____________________________________________
“NAYA BIHANA” is about communities taking their power back into their own hands, reclaiming what is theirs, utilizing the natural resources of their communities. The resources that have been taken from them for hundreds of years which have made Europe and North America so rich whilst keeping the rest of the world in dire poverty.
This mural depicts a community that has resisted and is reclaiming its power. The broken chains symbolize the breaking away from the imperial policies of the West and its financial institutions like the World Bank, IMF and the G8.
Nepal was chosen as the subject for this mural because it is one of the poorest countries in the world in which the poorest of them are rising up to regain their dignity and move Nepal into a state of self sufficiency and to determine their own future. Although I chose Nepal to represent an example of people struggling to be self sufficient, it could really be many other places in the world facing similar problems.

Dhanyakuria is a non descriptive village, near Barasat, about 40 km from Kolkata.
The non descriptive village houses some magnificent palaces belonging to the Gayen, Ballav, Sahoo and Mondal families.
Out of these the Gayen Bagan Bari of the Gayen Castle stands out.
The Cinderella styled castle is complete with towers and turrents, flanked by battlements and projected oriole windows.
Presently it is in sorry state with and have lost most of its ornamentation. The landscaped garden, with decorative fountains, which surrounded the castle is overgrown with grasses and weeds.
A detailed blog post on the Palaces of Dhanyakuria will be comming up soon in my blog.
A special thanks to my friend and fellow heritage enthusiast for arranging the necessary permission.

This descriptive plaque is located near the entrance to the carousel, with the river in the background.
I suppose it was just an accident of the way the sun was shining on it, but I thought the reflection was pretty cool ...
*******************************
Because I work and live in Manhattan, I don’t often visit the four other boroughs of New York City … but there’s a magical place in Brooklyn that I want to tell you about, located in Brooklyn Bridge Park at the edge of the East River. It’s right on the water, framed by the Manhattan Bridge on the north and the Brooklyn Bridge on the south. A few NYC residents and perhaps even a few visitors are already nodding their heads as they read this, but I suspect that most readers of these Flickr notes are as oblivious as I was, and have never heard of Jane’s Carousel.
“Jane” is, as I’ve now learned, Jane Walentas, an artist who spent 20 years overseeing the restoration of a magnificent 48-horse carousel, created by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, and first installed in a park in Youngstown, Ohio in 1922. Ms. Walentas and her husband, David, bought the carousel and the wooden horses at an auction in 1984 for $385,000; I have no idea what inspired them to do so, or what could possibly have inspired Jane to spend the next 20 years scraping off layers of paint and restoring the original design and colors, the pin-striping and the gold leaf as the carousel sat in a studio in Dumbo (for the non-New Yorkers who might have stumbled onto this page of notes, “DUMBO” is an acronym that means “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass).
Anyway, the carousel was opened in mid-September 2011, and for reasons unknown, I was completely oblivious as to its existence for the next three years. It’s located in a $9 million transparent acrylic “jewel box” that was designed by the French architect Jean Novel, and it’s absolutely stunning to see. My wife coaxed me into taking the somewhat laborious subway ride from the Upper West Side (via the “C” and the “F” trains) over to Brooklyn a couple days ago, and we were lucky to have chosen a brilliantly sunny Saturday afternoon, arriving just at the beginning of the “golden hour” when the light was perfect for photography.
In the three years since it opened, Jane’s Carousel has apparently attracted a lot of attention: there were some New Yorkers like me wandering around, and some visitors from nearby New Jersey and Long Island … but I also heard and saw evidence of visitors from France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Korea, and a lot of other places which would normally have great difficulty distinguishing Brooklyn from the Bronx or Staten Island. You can arrange birthday parties at the carousel; and there were heavily-costumed bridal parties along with the dog-walkers, the photographers, and the tour boats (including the venerable Circle Line) cruising up and down the East River.
And speaking of the East River, one of the most dazzling aspects of this place is the view that you get, with the two mammoth bridges spanning the river, along with the Wall Street skyline, the South Street Seaport, and the massive Freedom Tower in the background. Even if you didn’t spend a minute looking at the brightly painted carousel horses, and listening to the hypnotic music of the carousel, you could easily spend the afternoon watching the tugboats and sailboats and barges and ferries, the cruise boats and the motorboats chugging up and down the river. One can only imagine what it must have been like a century ago, before the railroads and jet planes had eliminated the bulk of water travel.
I’m embarrassed that it took me so long to visit this place, and I hope that you’ll take the hint and go see it yourself, at your first opportunity. If you would like to see some more details about the place, you might want to start with the official website for Jane’s Carousel, located here:

What’s in a picture:
.
I’m not really sure. I took this whilst walking back from dropping an off at the Tesco Express, using their EvRI service.
.
The light must have been quite good that day as the image has a nice bright tonality to it, with the pink, purple and red hues of the flowers contrasting nicely with the green. I’d love to be able to describe the colours in a more thoughtful and descriptive but, my inability to remember other more descriptive names l, probably due to my Dyslexia does not help.
.
I feel this is about the only way I can actually be myself, a tolerated exponent of banality and abject disgust any other time. A part of me that know-one probably sees. Except My Wife. A constant. I really like a good colourful botanical picture, along with a hint of decay; as there’s a little in this in the central bouquet.
.
Thanks for looking.

From a descriptive text on Germany's 1950s industrial reconstruction a rather fine view of the post-war reconstruction of the Germania Colliery in Dortmund-Marten, that belonged to the post-war grouping of the G.B.A.G. that had been spun out of the pre-war giant Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG. The company was one of the true giants of the deep coal mining business and operated some large collieries in the Ruhr district around Essen and Gelsenkirchen, shafts being organised so as to best utilise reserves that were both relatively easy to 'win' along with ones that were of more meager output.
I probably need some one with local knowledge but I'm wondering of one of the structures we see here is the headframes now relocated to the German Mining Museum at Bochum when the Germania complex closed in 1971?
The Museum's headframes. that stood over the main shaft of the Germania mine complex in Dortmund-Marten. Designed by renowned industrial architects, Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer, this solid-walled double headframe was constructed in 1943-44.

Not the most imaginative title, I know. I blame my former stock agency; they wanted straightforward descriptive titles, nothing poetic. So I can't bring myself to call this "Wisdom in White", or "The Soul of a Stallion". It is a horse; a horse it is.
Speaking of commercial stock photography, I learned early that there is no market for black and white. Or very little. I cut my teeth on Tri-X (film) back in the Sixties, and in the Seventies began developing my own negatives, but by the early Eighties I was selling photos regularly, and that time marks my last serious excursions into black and white. Probably a mistake in terms of creative development, but I did make incursions into the calendar and magazine market in that decade. Excursions, incursions - take your pick.
These days, I often forget to explore the black and white option, mostly out of habit. Some of my Flickr-pals, however, have provided inspiration via their own stellar work. I think winter helps, too, the stark days lending themselves easily to monochrome interpretation.
This really isn't a winter shot, though, despite snow on the ground. Last year we were, uh, blessed with two uncharacteristically chilly weeks in early October. Snow fell; eventually it melted. This week I have finally gotten around to looking at the images I shot during that, uh, blessing. And I discovered a horse series that definitely looks better in black and white.
