I went to a peacock park with my hiking group. The locals were pretty relaxed about posing but this one seemed to have a bit of attitude!
Today (17 April 2021) at 15:00 UK time one minute's silence will mark the start of the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor Castle. Our thoughts will be with the Queen mourning her husband of 73 years and their amazing devotion to duty since she became Queen in 1952.

One of my roles at the school I'm at is to lead the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and this school year we've been back to normal with all the expeditions following Covid. I've been lucky enough to be on four different expeditions, two bronze and two silver. This was the last of them - I was in charge of 20 kids doing their Silver qualifying journey in Chiang Mai province. This was the last day, starting the hike climbing through orange groves and into the mountains on the border with Myanmar.

Buckingham Palace is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch of the United Kingdom.
Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality and has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning.
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged with three wings being constructed around a central courtyard.
Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.
The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East Front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the British royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds.

God bless His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
10th of June, 1921 - 9th of April, 2021.
He will be mourned by many, myself included.
I am very sad today and have shed tears at the passing of a man who has been beside our Queen for 74 years of marriage, and been a staple all my life. For me, as long as there has been Queen Elizabeth, there has been Prince Phillip.

.... I took these photographs of Prince Philip, on April 27, 2013, his last visit to Toronto & Canada. His visit was a short one — without his wife, the Queen — to present a ceremonial flag to the Royal Canadian Regiment's 3rd Battalion. In these photos, Prince Philip, inspects members of the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment at Ontario's Legislative Building (Queen's Park) The Prince was the regiment's Colonel-In-Chief & was on hand to retire the Regimen's old color at a formal ceremony....
On 3 April 1980, the Her Majesty the Queen attended Lord High Admiral's Divisions at the Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. Her husband and consort, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh is seen above inspecting some of those on parade.
The primary reason for the Royal attendance was that this was the passing-out parade for their second son, Prince Andrew, who was beginning his naval career. Prince Andrew is not in the image - his platoon was off to the right.
Prince Philip, in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet, is being escorted the the Commander of the College (second-in-command). The Lieutenant Commander trailing them is probably an equerry to His Royal Highness. The Duke is rounding the end of the front rank of a platoon in order to inspect those in the second rank. As for much of his professional and personal life, he is following the Queen, who has already passed by (see first comment below).
The title Lord High Admiral began in the 15th century. Most since have been courtiers or members of the Royal Family, and not professional naval officers. In medieval England the Lord High Admiral was one of the nine Great Officers of State.
From the 17th century onwards, when an individual Lord High Admiral was appointed, there was also a Council of the Lord High Admiral which assisted him and performed some of the duties of the Admiralty. When the office was not occupied by an individual, it was "put into commission" and exercised by a board of Lords Commissioners headed by a First Lord of the Admiralty, and this was the usual arrangement from 1709 until 1964, when the office of First Lord of the Admiralty was finally abolished and the functions of the Lords Commissioners were transferred to the Admiralty Board of the tri-service Defence Council of the United Kingdom.
In 1964 the ancient title of Lord High Admiral was vested in the sovereign. In 2011, the title was bestowed by Elizabeth II onto her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Sadly today, 9 April 2021, his death at the ripe old age of 99 has been reported.

Bloodhound is a 19.2-metre (63 ft) ocean racing yacht. She was designed by Charles E. Nicholson and built by Camper and Nicholsons in 1936. From 1962 to 1969 she was owned by the British Royal Family and in January 2010 she was purchased by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust.In 1962 Bloodhound was purchased for the Royal Family at the request of Prince Philip. In February she was sailed from Plymouth to Gosport to be refitted by Camper and Nicholsons and the work was finished by June. Prince Philip sailed Bloodhound with Uffa Fox at Cowes Week in August of that year.
During Royal ownership Bloodhound would accompany The Royal Yacht Britannia in the Western Isles when the Royal Family had their one true family holiday every year. She had a permanent crew of three and one Skipper was a descendent of Sir Francis Drake. It was during these times that the young Royals learned to sail on Bloodhound. When not in Royal use, Bloodhound and her crew were made available to yacht clubs across the country, used to teach thousands of young people how to sail.
In 1969 Bloodhound was sold and not replaced by the Royal Family. Bloodhound then effectively retired from racing. Over time she gradually fell into considerable disrepair and very nearly became beyond salvage. However, in 2002 she was bought by Richard Carr [2] before being purchased by Tony McGrail, a yacht surveyor and classic yacht restorer, in 2003. Over the next 3½ years she underwent a major internal and external refit to bring her back to her original pristine condition.
In January 2010 Bloodhound was purchased by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust and is now berthed alongside The Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith where she can be viewed from the pontoon.
During July and August, the fully restored, 63 foot Royal Racing Yacht Bloodhound is available from Oban Marina for private day sailing around Scotland's West Coast for up to eight guests.

"I don't think old photographers retire .... they just go out of focus" - Lord Lichfield
Photographer Lord Lichfield dies
Friday, 11 November 2005
Royal photographer Lord Lichfield has died at the age of 66 after suffering a major stroke.
The Queen was among the first to pay tribute to Lord Lichfield, saying she was "deeply saddened" at the news.
Lord Lichfield was the Queen's first cousin once removed and was the official photographer at the wedding of the Prince of Wales to Diana.
He was being treated in the stroke unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after falling ill.
The renowned photographer had been staying in the area with friends when he suffered a stroke. He died at 0400 GMT on Friday.
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: "It's a private matter. The Queen is deeply saddened and will be sending private condolences."
Lord Lichfield - who inherited the earldom of Lichfield in Staffordshire from his grandfather - has often been asked by the royals to take their official portraits.
He photographed the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh for her Golden Jubilee in 2002.
In July 1981, he took the official wedding photographs for the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer.
"He wasn't complicated, he wasn't pretentious, he wasn't an intellectual, he just loved making beautiful images" - Geordie Greig, Tatler editor.
Tatler editor Geordie Greig said Lord Lichfield was an "old-fashioned gentleman" whose best work had been his shots of the wedding.
"The royal wedding was spectacularly memorable, he got the intimacy of the Royal Family, he got that fairytale magic.
"There was a sort of almost Hollywood magic dust spread throughout that shoot and the world enjoyed it.
"He wasn't complicated, he wasn't pretentious, he wasn't an intellectual, he just loved making beautiful images."
Former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter said Lord Lichfield had been very close to the Royal Family and was noted for the easy way he handled them during shoots, using a whistle to marshal guests at the wedding of Charles and Diana.
"One year, we were shooting a Christmas card at Windsor Castle it was all over in about 15 minutes, he was almost a one-shot man, he would get it perfect the first time."
Baroness Thatcher, whose recent 80th birthday photos were taken by Lord Lichfield, said: "Patrick Lichfield was not only one of the most talented and professional of photographers, he was also an absolute delight to sit for.
"Always courteous and considerate, he had a rare skill which is now sadly gone."
Friend and photographer Terry O'Neill said Lord Lichfield's style was always spontaneous.
"He did go for the moment. He was instinctive. It was part of his nature."
He remembered that the aristocrat liked to be viewed as "one of the chaps".
In a career spanning 40 years, Lord Lichfield worked for Vogue and photographed many stars, including Sixties singer Marsha Hunt, Michael Caine and Joanna Lumley.
As well as editorial photography, he worked on advertising commissions across several industries, including fashion, tobacco and pharmaceuticals.
He was recently commissioned by the British Tourist Authority, and was involved in Hot Shots, a television series for Discovery Real Time in which amateur photographers are taught by professionals.
Interviewed in October by the BBC News website, he told reporter Caroline Briggs: "Remember that the person you are photographing is 50% of the portrait and you are the other 50%.
"You need the model as much as he or she needs you. If they don't want to help you, it will be a very dull picture."
Lord Lichfield's long-term partner was Lady Annunziata Asquith, and he had had three children with ex-wife Lady Leonora Grosvenor - a son, Tom, and two daughters, Rose and Eloise.
Lord Lichfield : BBC News Website Obituary
Friday, 11 November 2005
Lord Lichfield stretched beyond his privileged upbringing to become a world-renowned photographer.
He first used a camera at the age of seven, taking pictures of his family, pets and scenes at his beloved home, the stately Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire.
He attended Harrow School, and took his first pictures of the Queen as he played cricket against Eton.
While his upbringing was aristocratic, Lichfield's great passion for photography carried him far beyond any blue-blooded barriers, and through an extremely successful 40-year career.
The son of Viscount Anson and Princess Anne of Denmark, Patrick Lichfield - the 5th Earl of Lichfield - was the Queen's first cousin once removed.
He made his break into photography in 1962, after leaving the Grenadier Guards.
Starting out as a photographer's assistant on £3 a week, he made the most of his showbusiness and aristocratic connections, snapping everybody from Mick and Bianca Jagger on their wedding day to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in exile.
Lichfield's memory of the latter encounter was of deliberately falling off his chair to force smiles out of his straight-faced subjects. The result got him a contract with Vogue magazine.
He also worked for a range of other newspapers and magazines, including Life.
One of his most iconic images, which he recently recreated, was the naked pose of the singer Marsha Hunt, complete with a huge afro hairdo for the musical Hair.
Another was Swinging London, which featured Roman Polanski, David Hockney and Lady Antonia Fraser. Other famous subjects included Michael Caine, Joanna Lumley and a host of 1960s glitterati.
His long career was celebrated two years ago with an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, and he was awarded fellowships of both the British Institute of Professional Photographers and the Royal Photographic Society.
Most recently, he took a special set of pictures of Baroness Thatcher to mark her 80th birthday.
His position and profession came together most famously in July 1981, when he took the official wedding photographs of the Prince and Princess of Wales, before sitting down to the wedding feast with hundreds of other royals.
From his studio in north Kensington, Lichfield became renowned the world over for his skill with the lens, and personally admired for his straightforward manner.
Although he was one the official photographers of the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he liked being addressed as plain Patrick Lichfield and was at his happiest poring over shots in his studio.
A self-professed "spiv" and admirer of feminine beauty, one of Lichfield's favourite commissions was the famous Unipart calendar, shot in glamorous locations all over the world with an emphasis on stunning models.
Lichfield admitted to having relationships with many of his pretty subjects but, away from the camera, he found companionship in his own well-bred circle.
He was married for 11 years to Lady Leonora Grosvenor, sister of the Duke of Westminster, with whom he had three children.
His most recent partner was the biographer, Lady Annunziata Asquith.
Like the late Princess Margaret, he often took refuge on the Caribbean island of Mustique. It was at his holiday home there in 1992 that he suffered a very bad fall, from which he had difficulty recovering.
Despite this, he continued to work throughout his life, becoming a champion of the digital revolution, and attending to the photography that he described as his "calling".
As he got older, Lord Lichfield reflected on his legacy, wondering what he would leave behind.
Acknowledging his pedigree, he was delighted that Shugborough was smaller but better managed. But he always added: "There are the pictures."

"Master your technique. This allows you to be as creative as possible."
"On sunny days shoot your model in open shade, not direct sunlight."
"When the sky is overcast use reflectors to bounce light onto the model's face."
"When shooting indoors, the best light is from a north-facing window."
"Interact with your model to put them at ease. This will help you get better results."
"Use a long lens for a more flattering perspective. Too short and it can make the model's nose look huge."
"Use a digital camera. This way you can take lots of photographs and not waste money."
"For group portraits I keep a whistle in my pocket and quickly blow it and get there surprised looks then quickly followed by their laughter."
"A good photographer will know the most flattering angles but generally it is not standing square on to the lens. Most people look best three quarters facing the camera, with their shoulder towards it and the head turned."

"Weddings.. Shoot some photos in black and white: it helps capture the atmosphere of the Big Day"
"Weddings.. Appoint a project manager - the bride's mother is ideal. Don't expect the bride or groom to attend to the details on their day."
"Weddings.. Visit the venue, do a "recce", plan every last detail in advance. walk through with the photographer the events and timing or the day ( a similar rehearsal to that of the bride and groom) so he/she has a precise knowledge of the layout, expected details and location of the wedding event. Then, add time and a half to account for unforeseen circumstances on the actual day."
"Weddings.. Make sure you know who the important family members are - otherwise you will find strangers creeping into your valuable photographs"
"Weddings.. Photograph the bride before she gets into the car to take her to the ceremony - if wearing a veil this is the only time you will find her with it in place over her face. Make sure when she gets out of the car you have the children in place."
"Weddings.. Always start your post -ceremony photographs with the biggest group and then start to discard individuals, this means you will not be searching for people at the last minute. Expect to work right through to the last photograph of just the bride and groom. "
"Weddings.. Get the children in the first photograph - otherwise they will get their clothes messy, tired and emotional or even lost!"
"Weddings.. Be ready for the speeches and cake"
"Weddings.. the photographer must not be distracted by the prettiest bridesmaid!"
"Weddings.. Be aware of the time the bride and groom are likely to depart - shots of confetti and the car are important"

By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

One is amused ...
Smiling warmly on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, her majesty the Queen, acknowledges tens of thousands of cheering, flag-waving royal supporters this afternoon. Her appearance marks the end of four days of nationwide celebrations marking her 60-years on the British throne. Queen Elizabeth II is 85-years-old. Looking good, ma'am .... :-)
Her radiant smile, though, masked her concern at her husband's, Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh, sudden illness. At 90, he was admitted to hospital last night, suffering with a bladder infection. Always at her side during state occasions, it's unusual to see The Queen without him.

O´Shannessy Lodge, Warburton, Victoria in 1954. My colorization of Percy Spiden´s photo in the State Library Victoria archive.
"On a summer's day, on February 3, 1954, the 32-year-old Duke and his wife Queen Elizabeth II, then only 27, arrived in Sydney on the Royal Yacht Britannia for the start of an epic eight-week tour, that took in 57 towns and cities across Australia. They were embarking on a six-month tour of the British Empire only eight months after the Queen's Coronation, as Prince Charles and Princess Anne stayed in London with a nanny. In 58 days, they visited every state capital, except Darwin, and toured regional centres from Burnie in northern Tasmania to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and Broken Hill, a mining town in the far-west of New South Wales, with up to three-quarters of Australians catching a glimpse of the Queen and Prince Philip."

The State Bentley
The Bentley State Limousine is an official state car created by Bentley for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee in 2002. Only two were built and both are in the Royal Mews.
The State Limousine is 83.0 cm (2.723 ft) longer than a standard Bentley Arnage, 25.5 cm (10.0 in) taller, and 6.8 cm (2.7 in) wider. It is equipped with broad coach doors that open to the rear almost 90 degrees. Opaque panels over the backlight of the car can be installed for either added privacy or removed for added visibility of its passengers. For protection of its occupants, the bodywork and glass are armoured, the cabin can be sealed air-tight in case of gas attack and is also blast-resistant, and the tyres are kevlar-reinforced.
When the Queen is on board, the Bentley "Flying B" bonnet ornament is either replaced by the Queen's personal mascot of Saint George slaying the dragon (made by the artist Edward Seago) or a single standing Lion, which is used in Scotland. The limousines are equipped with flashing blue lights, two in the grille and two on the front bumper. The State Limousines do not have number plates. The Bentley is claret and black like all the British state limousines.
The two limousines are said to be valued at 10 million GBP each.
