Le cap Brun désigne deux lieux différents. Tout d'abord c'est une petite presqu'île rocheuse située au nord de la rade de Toulon, à l'est de la ville. Ensuite par extension le Cap Brun désigne un quartier qui s'étale à l'ubac du mont de la batterie surmontant le cap. Le centre est situé à 1 km à vol d'oiseau du cap proprement dit et à plus de 2 km par la route. Sur sa hauteur appartenant à la Provence cristalline a été construit au xixe siècle un fort. L'urbanisation de Toulon vers l'est au cours du xxe siècle a donné naissance à un nouveau quartier, le Cap Brun, à l'est du quartier du Mourillon. Les prix de l'immobilier sont parmi les plus chers de la ville.
Cape Brun designates two different places. First of all it is a small rocky peninsula located north of the harbor of Toulon, east of the city. Then by extension the Cap Brun designates a district which extends to the ubac of the Mont de la Batterie surmounting the cape. The center is located 1 km as the crow flies from the Cape proper and more than 2 km by road. On its height belonging to the crystalline Provence was built in the 19th century a fort. The urbanization of Toulon to the east during the 20th century gave birth to a new district, Cap Brun, east of the Mourillon district. Real estate prices are among the most expensive in the city.

Starlings taking a moment's respite with a view of the River Thames. Recent years have seen them diminished in numbers (according to the RSPB) but this was just a small part of what was still a very sizeable and noisy flock. And I enjoyed seeing them socialising on this power line, a forensically sharp take on an individual bird not being important to me in this moment.

Marnix van Sint-Aldegonde Castle
The story of this castle is linked to the presence of the river Scheldt and begins with the Roman period. According to tradition, a watchtower was built on the Scheldt at the site of the present castle site. During the 9th and 10th centuries, a feudal castle was erected there as a defence against the invasions of the Vikings. Some foundations and wall parts from the 11th century have been preserved. Afterwards, the building served as a residence for the lords of Bornem.
When the Scheldt bed moved, the castle was hit by a dead arm. The strategic importance of the castle diminished.
With the arrival of the Spanish nobleman Pedro Coloma, who bought the domain in 1586, a new chapter began for the castle.
During the 17th century, the new Renaissance castle suffered greatly from wars. The old central castle tower was demolished in 1687.
Since 1780 the domain has been owned by the de Marnix family. Count Ferdinand Joseph had the castle of Pedro Coloma demolished in 1880. Hendrik Beyaert made the plans for the complete renovation of the castle with outbuildings.
In 1894, the current massive looking castle was rebuilt, with a double moat and a connection to the neo-Gothic style. The entrance bridge with two watchtowers dates from 1895. The brick outbuildings are located within the first moat and form a mini village, as it were.

One of a diminishing number of duties for industrial locomotives in the UK, the former 08375 heads along the branch between Wards Siding and HeidelbergCement 's Ketton cement works with empty cement tankers.
The tanks had left Ketton the previous evening for St Pancras, and after unloading and returning to Wards Siding are tripped the short distance to the works as seen here.

There is a tradition in the North east of England, of fisherman using redundant Herring boats as storage sheds for their ropes and other equipment. As the fishing industry has changed and evolved over the years the places where these traditional huts survive has diminished but Holy island is one of the few places they remain in abundance.

from a friend:
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying...

A female ae’o deftly plucks a minnow from a shallow brackish pond with its elongated, slender bill. Morning backlighting makes the long, thin, pink legs appear to almost fluoresce. The ae’o, or Hawaiian stilt, is a non-migratory, endemic subspecie (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni). It feeds on fish and arthropods in shallow shoreline ponds and wetlands. Though often seen in the main Hawaiian archipelago, ae’o are listed as endangered since their range and abundance have diminished with habitat loss and predation by introduced rats, mongoose, egrets, and feral cats.
A single Pano shot, montaged, with the main image untouched except for increased colour saturation, sharper contrast and the diminishing of white glare. This main piece sits more to the right of the image with treated, manipulated versions bordering and framing the outside of the total picture plane. 3 overlays of the original shot were placed near the edges.
The Pano-Sabotage technique facilitates both a western view out toward the Hudson river, on the left and on the right, a view looking north on the approach to "Hudson Yards" on ""The Highline.
The underlying "framing" edges in layers suggest the previous, rougher nature of this part of the city, some of which can still be seen a bit more to the east. Rusted metal and graffiti elements are hinted at the in the treatment of the layers that are 'disappearing' behind the main image, a picture of now and a possible view of the future.
Original shot was taken around 5-5:30, June 14, 2019.

Holidays always bring forth a procession of memories for me. Some good, some sad. The memories tend to lie dormant most of the year, tucked away for safe keeping. Holidays simply act as the trigger. One thought that drifts back into focus is a childhood Thanksgiving when our entire family ventured out into the woods for a hike. I couldn't have been more than ten. The day was quite cold and I doubt the walk lasted more than half an hour. Yet it's one of those things that stayed with me all these years. Little things like that tend to get burnished into a young mind. Of course you never realize this in real time. Been that way all my life. I never know which things will be forgotten by sundown and which I will be replaying years later. That family hike so many years ago filled me with warm feelings of togetherness. And that's the part I remember most when this memory resurfaces. Of course its not the only one. There's all sorts of flashbacks that hit my like looking at family snapshots. Many centered around the warm kitchen with all sorts of good things cooking. And inevitably at least one Thanksgiving where something went horribly wrong like a still-frozen turkey because the oven wasn't set properly. This year the pandemic seems to have quenched the holiday spirit to some extent. I was able to maintain a facade at Halloween with decorations and such despite the fact that trick-or-treat was cancelled here. But since then I have had a sort of dulled reaction seeing Christmas lights appearing nightly and realizing the holidays are already upon us. No family hike into the woods tomorrow. No family at all for that matter, except maybe on Zoom. Lots of highs and lows in 2020. And memories best forgotten.
For a place where the sky is so often with laden clouds, regrettably not much water finds the land. I was shocked this week to see the neighboring river completely dry and the one on which I live not far behind in diminished streamflow. Fall and winter are our rainiest seasons so I hope we see more precipitation.

After I took a little excursion into man-made art last night, today we're returning to that of completely natural origins.
And so we go from a mask made of copper to one made of tiny little water droplets. In both cases, light plays a crucial role. Because it is only through the right incidence of light and the right light intensity that the magic awakens in the picture.
But while the copper mask from Vienna has now lasted for almost 100 years, this veil of fog over the forest below mt. Winterstein in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains doesn't last much longer than one hour. And over the course of this hour it continuously changes its form and thus its effect.
And it is precisely for these two reasons that I am so much more attracted to the masterpieces made by nature than to those created by humans. Without asking or wanting to diminish the value of the latter in any way or question.
Nachdem ich gestern Abend einen kleinen Ausflug in die von Menschenhand geschaffene Kunst gemacht habe, kehren wir heute zurück zu der mit ganz natürlichem Usprung.
Und so wechseln wir von einer Maske aus Kupfer zu einer aus winzig kleinen Wassertröpfchen. In beiden Fällen spielt das Licht eine entscheidende Rolle. Denn erst durch den richtigen Lichteinfall und die richtige Lichtintensität erwacht in dem Bild die Magie.
Doch während die Kupfermaske aus Wien nun fast 100 Jahre lang überdauert, hält dieser Nebelschleier über dem Wald unterhalb des Wintersteins im Elbsandsteingebirge nicht viel länger als eine Stunde. Und im Laufe dieser Stunde verändert er auch noch ununterbrochen seine Form und somit seine Wirkung.
Und genau aus diesen beiden Gründen fühle ich mich von den naturgemachten Meisterwerken so viel mehr angezogen als von denen die Menschen erschaffen haben. Ohne den Wert der letzteren in irgend einer Weise und Frage zu stellen oder schmälern zu wollen.

One of the most endangered animals in Africa, with less than 7,000 left in the wild. They live in packs typically up to 12 to 15 members. This pack in the Lower Zambezi has at least 30 members which is very large for a dog pack which is very large for a dog pack presently, due to their diminishing numbers.

Just like the South Shore, the Wiener Lokalbahn also has a bit of freight traffic though it has diminished to just one customer in recent years. Freight operations themselves are contracted to Rail Cargo Austria (OeBBs cargo division) and trains are always handled with one of two Class 2070s specially equipped with radio transmitters to activate the crossing flashers on the WLB line. While not quite as cool as two orange GP38-2s roaring through the street of Michigan City, this was still a big checkmark for me. I had tried twice previously but this time armed with some helpful info it was much easier. The train is heading through Guntramsdorf to Traiskirchen where it will head onto the Innere Aspangbahn for the trip back to Vienna.
It is hard to believe that 6 months ago, my darling husband, Gerry Murray, died. The days have been long and hard and continue to be difficult. I am trying to maintain a positive attitude and be grateful for what I have: the love of my family and friends, my precious new kitten, and the fact that I can continue to explore and create through my art. I know that I am luckier than many, but that does not diminish the pain. I have to confront it head-on and somehow overcome it; hopefully, I will succeed. Those who have experienced these feelings will understand. And to those who are experiencing the same feelings and emotions, I wish you strength, love, and support and know that we are in this together and that yes, we can win!
I loved you then, now and always will, my precious husband. You may be gone but you have left me with many wonderful memories to treasure for always, thank you!
With heartfelt and sincere thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful day, stay well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

It was a beautiful day in Aix-en-Provence when we visited yesterday for a medical appointment for myself. Sadly, we couldn't stay for long apart from a hurried lunch as Bob was missing us back in Cotignac but we have decided to take Bob with us on Friday when we return for the day with our newly arrived house guest from London so we can spend more time exploring the many backstreets that Aix has to offer. It truly is a beautiful place and as it's a university town there are so many young people which is so refreshing as where we live in Cotignac there tends to be a heavy emphasis on older people.
For those who know me you may have noticed I haven't been on Flickr much lately - it's a mixture of being away, being unwell, intensive French lessons and not being inspired to take photos (my 'archives' are diminishing fast!). I'm hoping to make more of an effort to engage in Flickr :-)

This has been quite a weekend. Friday was... different; but survivable. Saturday night had moved along fairly quickly; but Sunday night was simply draining. It appears as though, none of the staff members from my nocturnal-shift have any control over their scheduled presence at the core unit. Everyone seems to be floated every other week. One of the few things that I had enjoyed while working at my hospital was working along side my usual core staff. That feeling had diminished in the last few months. I can't help but feel that something is terribly managed OR perhaps, there is a heedless consideration to the importance of a fully staffed unit.
Forgive my reproach, but expressing my opinion had certainly mended my griping thoughts.
A trip north to Bempton Cliffs was a delight. Lovely to see a few puffins. Sadly a diminishing colony.
Yorkshire is home to one of the most important seabird colonies in Europe. Each summer, thousands of seabirds, including puffins, kittiwakes and razorbills, flock to Flamborough Head to raise their young amongst the nooks and crannies of the steep cliffs.
At a glance, these ancient breeding grounds may seem as busy and raucous as ever, but each year, due to the impact of human activity, fewer seabirds are returning to Yorkshire to nest and breed. www.ywt.org.uk/give-seas-a-chance/puffins#whtop
Vischering Castle (Burg Vischering) in Lüdinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia is the most typical moated castle in the Münster region of Germany. This region has one of the highest German concentrations of castles, palaces and fortifications, Lüdinghausen having three by itself. The castle consists of outer defensive courtyard, defensive gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building and chapel. The sandstone walls, the red tile roofs as well as their reflection in the moat provide many harmonious views from the wooded surroundings.
Vischering Castle was built by Bischop Gerhard von der Mark to counter the second castle built by the Von Lüdinghausen family. It became the seat of the Droste zu Vischering Family. Droste is the local title for the hereditary noble administrators serving the Bishops of Münster. The moat is constantly replenished by a side-arm of the River Stever. The outer defensive courtyard contains the business and farm buildings. The main building is a horseshoe-shaped three-story structure with heavy outer wall. Its inner courtyard is closed off by the chapel and a lower defense wall. A castle keep is missing, having been removed during Renaissance renovations. Fire destroyed the castle in 1521. Rebuilding took place on the existing foundation. Windows and the addition of a large bay made the castle more liveable but diminished its defensive character. The whole site however retains the character of a feudal age moated castle. Damage from air attack during World War II was minor.
Vischering Castle houses the Münsterlandmuseum, an exhibit on knighthood for children, as well as a cafe-restaurant. It serves as a cultural center for Kreis Coesfeld. Visiting hours are provided in the first link below. Viewing the outside is possible at all times. The second link provides a more detailed chronology of the castle in German .
There's a message in this image I'm not able to clearly articulate, but it's a metaphor for the times women are now living in. Seemingly ignored, diminished, having one's space invaded by strangers who care little about you. Seen at an outdoor cafe, central Galway, Ireland

The east escarpment of the Panamint Range rises above Death Valley Hills in morning light.
As I keep saying when I post Death Valley photographs (yeah, broken record…) the distances there are immense. As a result, atmospheric haze often has a distinct effect on photographs of the larger landscape. This can be challenging — the effect on colors is not always attractive. But it also can enhance the sense of depth in the image. A friend of mine refers to the effect as “atmospheric recession,” though I understand that the better known term may be “atmospheric perspective.” The colors shift, contrast decreases, and fine details can be diminished.
This photograph clearly makes use of the effect. I was photographing across Death Valley from an elevate position with a very long focal length. The low foreground hills are a good distance away, but not so far that they are strongly affected by haze — thus the greater contrast and especially the dark shadows. But the lower slopes of the Panamint are many miles away, and the haze has a big effect of their appearance.

This sandhill crane has just landed after doing a leap (a bit of a hop and a wing flap) to impress another crane. There was another one a few metres away. Apparently, the most vigorous dancers are those youngsters that haven't paired up yet. The behaviour diminishes over time if a mated pair is able to stay together year-after-year. But even the oldies will still do some dancing. Sounds like humans!
The Boardman tree farm is filled with great composition opportunities but for only a short while longer. Many of you already know, the farm sold their land and will be farming the trees and the land going back to pastures.

To travel all the way from the UK is a big gamble. January or February is the time to go as after this the temperature starts to rise and the smoke plume diminishes.
Sun was expected as was very low temperatures, snow wasn't. What a treat it was that on the fourth day of the trip we were confronted with this winter wonderland vista.
I left China just before the borders closed due to the Corona Virus, I doubt any visitors will get in to China nor want to for many months by which time the steam in the Sandouling region could be finished.
So from probably the last westerner to photograph these awesome machines.....enjoy.
