Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).

The Erewash Canal at Sandiacre—where industrial heritage meets tranquil waters. Barges here have quite the story to tell.
🚢 Historical Role of Barges at Sandiacre
- Coal Transport: Originally, barges were vital for moving coal from Derbyshire’s pits to the River Trent for onward trade to Nottingham and Leicester.
- Industrial Goods: They also carried pottery, textiles, iron, and even bombshells during WWII from Stanton Ironworks.
- Commercial Decline: With the rise of railways in the 19th century, barge traffic dwindled. By 1952, the last commercial narrowboat operation ended.
🏡 Sandiacre’s Canal Scene Today
- Sandiacre Lock Cottages: These restored lock keeper’s cottages and stables are a charming nod to the canal’s working past.
- Padmore Moorings: A popular spot for pleasure craft and narrowboats, offering moorings and access to local amenities.
- Preservation Efforts: The Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in 1968 to save the canal from closure. Their work led to its upgrade to ‘cruiseway’ status in the 1980s.
🌿 Leisure and Wildlife
- Boating: While commercial barges are long gone, leisure boating thrives. The canal is quieter than others, making it ideal for peaceful cruising.
- Fishing & Nature: Anglers enjoy catching roach, bream, chub, and perch. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, with kingfishers, herons, and even water voles spotted nearby.
📏 Barge Dimensions
- Max Length: 80 ft 4 in
- Max Width: 13 ft 5 in
- Draught: 4 ft
- Headroom: 7 ft 4 in
These specs allow for broad-beam barges, though most modern traffic is narrowboats.
This was an idea of my Flickr friend Jim Hill. I already posted two of those images separately and he proposed that it could make a nice triptych if I included a third one with a modern digital look. He saw more in this triptych as well as he noted that the amount of people in the images could stand for the growing accessibility of photography. Kudos to you, Jim!
If you like this triptych, head over to Jim's page and leave him a few likes. If not, head over there all the more and find something you like. His night images from Chicago stand out and are among the most interesting work here on Flickr.
This also concludes my series of images from Corfu. Tomorrow, a series in Frankfurt will start.
Instead of complaining all day and night about restrictions (especially in Germany) we should hold on and follow the rules that are most important to fight the pandemic. Let’s find the best opportunities for meaningful work in these exceptional times. Going through the archives and editing overlooked goodies seems to be a good idea.
This is a new panorama from a series of photos I made in summer 2015 at Capanna Regina Margherita at the summit of Signalkuppe. I merged 5 photos which I had not edited before as I took a lot at this wonderful evening. They were taken at late sunset with the sinking sun right between Dent d' Herens and Matterhorn. We can look from Liskamm left with Montblanc behind over Breithorn, Dent d' Herens, Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, Obergabenhorn, Wellenkuppe and Zinalrothorn up to Dufourspitze and Zumsteinspitze which are quite near here at the right side.
I was working with the Leica M and the Zeiss Distagon 1.4/35 ZM. After development in Lightroom the panorama was merged in Photoshop.
Umgeben von dichten Wäldern ist der See ein beliebtes Ausflugs - und Erholungsziel für die Berliner*innen. Große Teile, der in Eiszeit enstandenen Seenkette, siehe Wikipedia". ist heute ein ausgewiesenes Naturschutzgebiet. Eine friedliche Koexistenz zwischen der Natur und dem Menschen.
Baden ist an einigen Stellen erlaubt, andere Teile des Sees sind mit Zäunen aus Holz abgezäunt, Schilffflächen angelegt, sie dienen als Schutz - und Brutflächen für Vögel und Kleinsttiere.
Danke für Euren Besuch ein Kommentar/Stern ist willkommen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die Woche.

Surrounded by dense forests, the lake is a popular excursion and recreation destination for Berliners. Large parts of the chain of lakes formed during the Ice Age, see ‘Wikipedia’, are now a designated nature reserve. A peaceful coexistence between nature and man.
Swimming is permitted in some places, other parts of the lake are fenced off with wooden fences, and reed beds have been created to provide shelter and breeding areas for birds and small animals.
Thank you for your visit a comment/star is welcome.
I wish you a good start to the week.

Trois amis sur la Krummen Lanke.
Entouré de forêts denses, le lac est un lieu d'excursion et de détente très apprécié des Berlinois*. Une grande partie de la chaîne de lacs formée à l'époque glaciaire (voir « Wikipedia ») est aujourd'hui une réserve naturelle. Une coexistence pacifique entre la nature et l'homme.
La baignade est autorisée à certains endroits, d'autres parties du lac sont clôturées par des barrières en bois, des roselières sont aménagées et servent d'abri et de lieu de reproduction pour les oiseaux et les petits animaux.
Merci de votre visite, un commentaire/une étoile est le bienvenu.
Je vous souhaite un bon début de semaine.

Further development and change of perspective, in life and in creativity is always a gain for yourself and also for the people with whom you are in communication. The photo is a small project in which new ideas were implemented. Thank you for the support and implementation by my friend.
View from Iidabashi Station (飯田橋駅) toward southwest with the stone base of Ushigome-mitsuke checkpoint (牛込見附) and the Sotobori moat installed with the railway tracks of Chuuou Line.
Two photos were merged to get this image.
Despite intensive urban development, this area retains the original appearance of the citadel and Sotobori. The road in the photo leads to the Tayasu-mon gate of Kitanomaru compound where Budokan is located.
Mitsuke (見附) is a gate with a checkpoint often combined with a bridge over the moat. There were 8 gates in Edo, which were called -mitsuke. Similar checkpoints were often called -mon (門 gate) like Kita Hanebashi-mon and Hirakawa-mon.
Sotobori had been the physical boundary of the Samurai area during the Edo Period, which almost overlaps the present-day Chiyoda City except for the Kanda area that was part of Shitamachi, the downtown and commoners' area.
The left half of this photo belongs to Chiyoda City. Shinjuku City across the moat in the right and Bunkyou City outside of the frame are located outside of Sotobori. I don't know which City Iidabashi Station belongs to.
It was a silly conduct that the local governments of Bunkyou
and Shinjuku Cities decided to fill a short section of the outer moat in the opposite direction of this photo despite its historical, architectural and cultural importance of the neighbourhood.
The highly tangled-up intersection as uploaded previously is also located on the opposite side of Iidabashi Station.
Set in a gated community amidst nurturing green and the white glory of the pagoda dogwood, this condominium birdhouse development offers luxury apartments and stylish single homes. It is situated in the Children's Garden of Ellyn's LOST GARDEN.
NOW! What are YOU doing about the latest iteration of Flickr??
** SmugMug - who conjured up that name?! From having looked it over, I can't see staying. To me, it seems that too many things are happening at once!
The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (German Zeche Zollverein) is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, and mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades, starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957–1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in the New Objectivity style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world".
Because of its architecture and testimony to the development of heavy industry in Europe, the industrial complex was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on December 14, 2001, and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

Took some shots at the Ocean reef marina development again. The new reclaimed land for the Marina is starting to be built on. I always find the simplicity of the water, sky and sea wall elements make for striking photos. On this day the clouds were also making an appearance and added further interest. The colours are always amazing here and the water is mostly a silty yellow/green colour which is best seen when I use the polariser to get rid of the glare. In these shots you can see the effects of varying amounts of polarisation.
Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.
...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!
The Northern Lights are visible above the Minneapolis skyline on a clear night. The city's downtown area is illuminated by streetlights and the lights from office buildings and residences. This view showcases the concentration of commercial and residential development in the heart of Minneapolis, a major economic and cultural hub in the Upper Midwest. The presence of the aurora borealis, a natural phenomenon typically seen at higher latitudes, offers a rare and striking contrast to the man-made environment of the city.
The Everlake housing development, a new 6-story residential building, burns near the Minneapolis Police 3rd Precinct on May 28, 2020. This event took place during the second day of protests in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd. The building, which was under construction, became engulfed in flames amidst the widespread unrest. Its destruction served as a prominent symbol of the anger and frustration expressed during the Minneapolis Uprising.
This image is part of a continuing series following the unrest and events in Minneapolis following the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Past observations of 33499: production - development
I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.
