The place where you can find things you didn't even know you needed...
016-100x: the 2025 Edition
theme: portal
This Irvington residence—set on one of the neighborhood’s most self-conscious streets—offers a near-textbook example of early 20th-century Portland ambition expressed in wood, shingle, and column.
Its disciplined, almost foursquare mass is overlaid with Craftsman textures and crowned, somewhat insistently, by a classical porch that aspires to temple status. Bay windows swell outward, gables multiply, and a diamond pane makes its cameo, each gesture perfectly defensible and collectively a touch breathless.
Built when bourgeois respectability was not merely acceptable but aspirational, the house reads as a declaration: its owners meant to be seen, placed, and properly understood. One imagines a household fully enrolled in the city’s social machinery, business, lodge, and pew—while embracing the newer comforts and stylistic freedoms of the Pacific Coast.
I’m looking forward to putting a name—and a narrative—to it using the pre- and post-renumbering street directories. Irvington rarely disappoints when you follow the paper trail.
What’s striking here is how close the house comes to tipping into incoherence—and how decisively it pulls back. The underlying mass is disciplined, the proportions sound, the junctions clean. Nothing feels tacked on or improvised. Even where the styles collide, they do so with a kind of confidence: details repeat, materials transition deliberately, and the whole suggests drawings rather than on-site invention. This is not a builder rummaging through a catalogue of effects. It is a scheme that was *thought through*.
And yet, it stops just short of real architectural authority. A stronger hand would have edited, subordinated, chosen a single governing idea and enforced it. Instead, the house accumulates—classical formality, Craftsman texture, multiple emphases—each well understood, none quite denied. The result is not the confusion of the modern McMansion, where elements are misread, but something subtler: **a house that knows exactly what it is doing and declines to stop doing it**. Whether the product of a compliant architect or an ambitious pattern-book design, it reads as a client’s wishes generously—and perhaps too generously—honored.

With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve - Quaid-i- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Quaid-e-Azam Residency (Urdu: قائد اعظم ریزڈنسی—Qāʾid-e Aʿẓam Rẹziḋinsī), also known as Ziarat Residency, is located in Ziarat, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is where Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last two months and ten days of his life. It is the most famous landmark of the city, constructed in 1892 during the British Raj. The building is a wooden structure, originally designed as a sanatorium before being converted into the summer residence of the agent of the Governor General. It is declared a national monument and heritage site and is of great architectural importance.
On 15 June 2013, the Residency was targeted with rockets by terrorists and badly damaged.
However, it has been reconstructed and opened to public since 14 August 2014.
Jinnah is one of my ideals and is a symbol of dedication in the history of Indo-Pak subcontinent, today is his birthday.

FRAME
“The frame gives incredible power to photovision: it establishes a hierarchy from the center of attention (the center of power) to the invisible (totally subdued by the seeing) outside of it. This power makes the documentary photographer a master. If the photographer surrenders to the discipline of art, his power is artistic, that is, it establishes the primacy of some aesthetic categories over others. If a photographer gives himself up to the discipline of politics, he fosters an uncritical perception of some hierarchy by the audience and thus strengthens the power of some over others. If the photographer is committed to the economic interest, he directs and intensifies consumption. Finally, if the photographer takes a critical position, then his work undermines the hierarchies of the named disciplines and gives the viewers the opportunity to free themselves from the networks of power that prescribe the visible and invisible, important and tertiary, necessary and harmful.
Thus, the framework makes it possible to establish orders of power, and undermine them. This means that the photographer - like any other master of image, word or judgment - is faced with a choice to give a voice to power or peace, order or chaos, to close access to truth or open it up. Each photograph is an event where the visible and the seeing can communicate or be in a blind and inauthentic world. "

Great German Shepherds K2 & Kennedy Self Control Watching Neighbor Running Past With Her Dog! - IMRAN™
(My 147th Flickr Explore!)
I had walked the dogs to the empty lot nearby early today. It was a stunning and serene morning on Tampa Bay, Florida.
Kennedy (further from camera) and K2, my great German Shepherds, turned from the beach when they sensed something. I turned and saw a neighbor jogging with her dog going past the lot and my blessed home.
Both my dogs showed such great self-control while being very interested in others going through “our space”. Both of them sat alert, waiting, knowing that the runner & dog would pass by us again after turning back at the cul de sac.
Only after the “visitors” departed did these two move and resume their normal beach play. What a smart breed German Shepherds are! Enjoy the picture in 3D at www.facebook.com/100063547631173/posts/pfbid02b5ZQfZkGB2d...

SELF DISCIPLINE BEGINS WITH THE MASTERY OF YOUR THOUGHTS. IF YOU DON'T CONTROL WHAT YOU THINK, YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHAT YOU DO.

With continual bad behaviour and troopers going AWOL, the 255th infantry company is in need of some serious correction, which is why the Commander himself has decided to pay them a visit. As the nervous Officer is hoping everything will go well, one trooper has already forgotten the "eyes forward" directive!
Samarkand - the Capital of Tamerlane
Samarkand is situated in the valley of the river Zarafshan. It is the second largest city of Uzbekistan and is of the same age as the city of Babylon or Rome. The history of Samarkand is about 2,500 years old and has witnessed a lot of upheavals during the times of Alexander the Great, the Arabic Conquest, Genghis-Khan Conquest and lastly Tamerlane's. Hence, the culture of Samarkand was developed and mixed together with the Iranian, Indian, Mongolian and a bit of the Western and Eastern cultures. Majestic and beautiful city Samarkand has a marvelous and attractive power. Poets and historians of the past called it "Rome of the East, The beauty of sublunary countries, The pearl of the Eastern Moslem World". Its advantageous geographical position in Zarafshan valley put Samarkand to the first place among cities of the Central Asia.
Registan Square, Samarkand
During centuries Registan Square was the center of Samarkand. The word Registan means “sand place”. There was a river running there many ages ago, before building the first Madrassah on the square. Years passed, the river dried out and left lots of sank there, that was the first place where the first Madrassah was built in the beginning of the 15th century and named Registan square. As the Madrassah was first built, all the holidays, parades, festivals and Sunday bazaars took place. The ensemble consists of three Madrassah: Ulugbek Madrassah (15th century), Sher – Dor Madrassah (17th century) and Tilla-Kari Madrassah (gold covered)(17th century). Madrassah– is the Muslim high educational institution. Only the boys from reach families studied there. The training lasted for 10, 12, 20 years. It was up to the discipline the student selected. The main discipline for all of them was Learning Koran. The rest of the subjects were not obligatory and could be selected by students.The Ulugbek Madrassah was built by the Ulugbek’s order and guidance. It lasted only three years from 1417 to 1420. When the medresse was constructed, Ulugbek gave lectures on mathematics and astronomy till his death. Two years later, the ruler of Samarkand Yalangtush Bahadur ordered to build the copy of the Madrassah, and the second Sher-Dor Madrassah was built opposite it. The only difference was that it had two more winter teaching halls, but the main structure was the same as in Ulugbek Madrassah. Several years later, the same ruler of Samarkand ordered the third Tilla-Kari Madrassah. It’s outward is the same as those two other medresses, but coming in you’ll see a one story building. To make the architectural ensemble, the architecture made two floors on the outside but only one inside. Madrassah was always built by one project – four-cornered yard with four terraces and cells along the whole perimeter. The main entrance was always locked with lattice and two other entrances were used by purpose. The doors in cell were always low because “Islam” means “obedience”, that is why everyone who entered or went out of cell always had to bow, it was like greeting and wishing health to everyone. Only Tilla-Kari Madrassah was bult like medresse, but was used mostly as mosque; just looking at minarets can see this, Tilla-Kari has low minarets to call people to pray. In 17th century Till-Kari mosque and Madrassah was the biggest mosque in Samarkand. Right up to 19th century Madrassah and Madrassah-mosque was used by purpose, and only from the beginning of 20th century till now they serve as monuments. “Eden of Ancient East”, “Precious Pearl of Islam World”, “ Rome of East”, “Rui Zamin”-“Face of Earth”-with such magnificent names poets, historians, medieval geographers of Iran, India, China, Byzantium, Egypt called Samarkand. Even though of such magnificent description Samarkand saw many sites of fire and destructions, which left their sign in history. During centuries Samarkand was gained by different nomadic and half nomadic generations, which always were destroying, sacking, and leaving ruins after them. Samarkand saw three the largest tragedies. 1. The first ine is related to the time of Aleksandr Macedonian’s gains in 329 year BC; the city was fully destroyed, citizens were exterminated. After reconstruction of the city there was a development of different crafts, the east and Greek cultures mixed together, and this left its sign in the history of Samarkand. 2. The second tragedy is related to 8th century, when Arabs were gaining the Central Asia. Stating from 8th century Islam became main religion in Central Asia. Before that time there were different religions in Central Asia but the main was zoroastrism. And only Arabs with sword and fire, destroying people brought new religion Islam to Central Asia. And till now it is still main religion here. 3. Third tragedy is related to 13th century, when Chigiz han was gaining the Central Asia. When the city was destroyed, Samarkand ame to the new decline. And only in 14th century when Timur came to the power Samarkand was reconstructed. 14-15th centuries are called the Renaissance because Timur brought scientists from each aggressive crusade. In particular he was assisted in development of different sciences in Central Asia. Samarkand reached the highest level of development only during Timur’s government, though he is described as cruel gainer in history. All this was happened because during 35 year he brought with him mathematicians, astronomers, architectures, and musicians from his aggressive campaigns to his country. Architectures from many countries participated in the construction of many monuments. Picture of rising sun with lions chasing after fallow-deers is the illustration of it. It is not allow illustrating animals and people in Islam. But Sher-Dor medresse is decorated exactly with pictures of animals. What is concerned about decoration of the whole ensemble, here it is possible to see the difference in designing of tympanums of every medresse. If in Ulugbek medresse cable is often repeating, but in 17th century medresse no picture is repeated because it was prohibited in that time to repeat the pictures in architectures work. Geometric, letter design, and crockets were used in designing.
The Pillory - Sometimes, as a parent, you just gotta do what ya gotta do.
__________
Taken at the Esrum Abbey Knight's Fair last year.
Most of the focus is spent on the mother and her newborn baby because it was her who gave birth, nursed the baby, etc. But the father also has a very strong, yet different connection to their child.
I remember a moment like this with my own child; just being able to touch, feel and experience his breath on me and just being so proud. A wave of thoughts of teaching him to ride a bike, going hiking, telling stories at night, the adventures of parenthood, seeing him graduate, seeing him off to preschool, college… all in this very instant of holding him close to me. You realize that everything you’ve made of yourself, all of your possessions, all of your accomplishments… none of that is as important as this. Suddenly you feel a huge sense of responsibility and obligation to teach this child everything you know, to protect him and to see he has the best life possible in front of him.
I don’t know what Eddie was thinking here with his 9-day old son Enrique, but his subtle expression helped me realize that being a parent isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a privilege. And I thank God every time I get to see my kids and play with them, discipline them, and even wasting time with them is time well spent.
Great place for photos if you havent checked them out do so!

Training in the art of Krav Maga, self-defense is taught along with discipline. It helps teach self-confidence and camaraderie via this self-defense martial art class. Both of our grand-daughters are in this training program and apparently greatly enjoy it. They get a lot of aerobic exercise during their sessions.
I'm not surprised that it is so popular, so fresh, green, with the jolly berries AND plentiful in the garden, this time of year, and also, so very decorative.
But ooohhh so prickly too!
I am trying to use as little light and dof as possible, a challenge that I love.
I find it necessary and refreshing to regularly go back to the basics of photography now and then.
As a discipline, I used to go out with my Nikon F4, a 50mm lens, b&w or colour film.
Now of course it is much more with the 'ease' of digital, however, I do NOT take hundreds of photos, the discipline is: I use my camera as a 'film' camera, each push of the button COSTS!
So, I compose carefully, wait, look, ... if I AM SURE, pleased... then, I click!
Or like here, I'll preconceive a scenario, go in the studio, set it up and photograph it only when I am happy that I have the result in front of my eyes that I had in my head.
We had a holly in our previous garden.
I wish you a day full of peace and goodness, thank you, M, (*_*)

Olaf, what are you doing?
...asks the bearer of the Olympic torch.
Whut?
Burning piece of wood in your hand - called a torch.
Yeah, I know what a torch is, essential for burning and pillaging. But why are you clambering about on that rolling board?
That's called a Skateboard, it's an Olympic Discipline!
You're waay to old for that nonsense!
I am not! Ask my grandchildren about me being old!
Oh yes, the unbiased opinion of grandchildren. Now get down and help me burn the village!
