I went to do a photo shoot the other day, and my husband, wandered down the road looking for deer. Instead he found this stunning view ~of course I had to get a picture
Not a war zone as in conflict but it is a war zone with economy. What was once a thriving granary for the county is now succumbed to farmlands being foreclosed and business going elsewhere.
Gloria turns away in disappointment as she realises that the global credit crunch means she won't be offered a mortgage and so the Monday Blues have hit her. However, she is now internet dating Gary ( www.flickr.com/photos/kiwi_gal/2837696616/in/ set-72157605 ) proving that every cloud has its silver lining.
Flickr friends, I've just started a secondment at work which lasts til the end of November. My work hours are now much longer so please forgive me if I seem to slow down on commenting. Today has been the first day I've been unable to check Flickr during the day for the last year!! However, I will try and catch up in the evenings!
1955 Nash Ambassador Country Club.
After Nash rolled out its Airflyte body style, Ambassador sales enjoyed a significant gain by selling just four- and two-door sedans in the 1949-1951 marketplace. They were manufactured at the Nash Factory (Kenosha, WI), and the Nash Factory (El Segundo, CA).
Airflyte styling entered its final season with the heavily facelifted 1955 versions, created under the direction of Edmund E. Anderson. "Scenaramic" wrap-around windshields accompanied an entirely new front-end treatment with a new oval grille incorporating the headlights. The front fenders featured raised front wheel arches that showed more of the front wheel and tire than Nash had revealed since the 1949 models debuted.
Ambassadors were now available with a V8 engine for the first time. The engine was supplied by Packard as part of George W. Mason's vision to have Packard join AMC to help achieve the economies of scale of the domestic Big Three automakers. The 320 cu in (5.2 L) V8 produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS) and mated to Packard's Ultramatic automatic transmission.
The changing face of high street retail.
And another new shop opens - This shot was taken in April 2022 - closed by December 2022.
Certain shops in Taunton seem to go through regular changes, others stay unchanged (or empty) for years.

The Felker Round Barn NW of Mt. Morris,IL. The barn is constructed of poured concrete with a central silo for feed storage.Round barns were said to be more efficient,but the difficulty and cost of construction caused them to be the exception,not the norm in barn construction....

A biplane sculpture at Broadwater near Pambula on the Far South Coast NSW. I often drive past here and have been meaning to photograph this for some time. The recent “For Sale” sign made me remember to snap it today. It appears to be mainly made from fuel drums.

The Guineafowl is a bird that I often see while travelling through farmland. I have seen them everywhere from Nova Scotia to Southern Ontario. They are quite an interesting farm bird.

Another great hike, this time a great walk from Hastings to Rye on the South East of England.
Hastings is a picturesque town and local government district in South East England, in the county of East Sussex. It is best known for its connection with the Battle of Hastings 1066, which actually occurred north of the town at Senlac Hill; the battle is commemorated today in the town of Battle. Hastings was one of the Cinque Ports, but its significance as a port declined after the 19th Century and its main industry became fishing. It still has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England. From a fishing port it became a watering place and finally a seaside resort in Victorian times.
Rye is a small hill top town and civil parish in East Sussex, England, on the River Rother, and at the western edge of the Walland Marsh, part of the Romney Marshes.
The town's economy relies heavily on tourism because of its historical importance.
Notable buildings in the town include St Mary's parish church, the Ypres Tower (pronounced "wipers"), Lamb House and many of the houses on Mermaid Street, Watchbell Street, and Church Square.

I chose this photo to post to "Your Best Shot 2017" (www.flickr.com/groups/yourbestshot2017/)
This image represents an important event in the world in 2017 and also an important event in my life. I started my life as a political-and-social-activist at age 15, so it seemed appropriate to mark my 50+ years as an activist at age 71 by attending the Women's March in DC on Jan 21, 2017.
The women, men, and children at the march showed support for many issues, including the environment. This image ended up in Explore, so it was not only my favorite image from the event, but became the fave of many Flickr members, too.

Women's March - Washington DC, 01/21/17
This is one of my favorite signs that I saw in DC.
I don't allow downloads on my Flickr account, but if you want to use this photo (or others from the Women's March) in protest to the current administration or to use for civil rights (for everyone) issues, or to highlight environmental issues, send me a Flickr msg with your email and the title of my image. I'll send you a jpg file.
The woman holding the sign reminds me of one of my best friends in college. She's now, like me, in her 70's, but this reminds me of her during our college days.

The beauty of the Historic Secession Oak, Bluffton, SC
Historic Oak: the Secession Tree
Commemoration of the Secession call by Congressman Barnwell Rhett under the 400 hundred year old live oak in Bluffton, SC, on July 31st 1844, in front of an assembly of planters (almost 500 people), near the May River.
The property initially belonged to the Baynards, who also owned land and a plantation in Hilton Head (see my photos of the Baynard Ruins in HH album), it is now privately owned by Anna and Carl Sharp.
On July 31st 1844, Barnwell Rhett delivered a fiery speech against the 1842 Federal Tariff Law, which clearly disadvantaged Southern economy and was designed to benefit North East products. He made an early call for Secession under that oak, though South Carolina did not secede until 1860
