The Pump Room, with its Corinthian columns, glittering chandelier and spa fountain embodies what was once the heart of the Georgian social scene, when high society flocked to the city for the waters which they believed would relieve all their illnesses and discomforts.

 

Building began in 1789 and was completed a decade later. Whilst the Romans would have bathed in the mineral-rich water, it was the Georgians who began drinking it in the late seventeenth century. They came here to take the waters, which you can still do today.

 

The waters are pumped from the ornate King’s spring water fountain, overlooking the Roman Baths. Just inside the entrance to the Pump Room you might also notice a Bath Chair. Once a common sight in Georgian Bath, the Bath Chair was eventually replaced with the two-man Sedan Chair, and these were used to carry visitors to the waters.

 

Inside the Pump Room you will also see the statue of Richard ‘Beau’ Nash. Nash was a legendary gambler and socialite that played a key role in the shaping of Bath’s society and culture in the 1700s. He was also known as the ‘Master of Ceremonies,’ introducing a new form of social conduct to the city.

 

The novelist Jane Austen was very familiar with the Pump Room, and used it as a setting in her novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. It was the place where 'every creature in Bath was to be seen in the room at different periods of the fashionable hours'.

 

Today it is home to The Pump Room Restaurant. Open for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, the Pump Room Trio or Pianist play every day for your enjoyment.

Knippelsbro, an iconic bridge in Copenhagen, connects the city center to Christianshavn over the harbor. Originally built in 1618 and later modernized in 1937, it is known for its distinct green towers and functional bascule design, allowing ships to pass through. Knippelsbro serves as a vital route for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, offering beautiful views of the surrounding harbor. The bridge is particularly captivating at sunrise, as the soft morning light enhances the green copper towers, creating a picturesque scene that embodies the charm of Copenhagen.

My little Paddington is a very curious bear. He likes wandering around the house and looking for "something interesting" .Especially happy he is when Old Gentleman we work for allows us "To sort out things" which include opening drawers and clearing out dust of stuff. Paddington was the one who found Forgotten Bears and with his help Bears are not forgotten anymore but proudly sit next to Old Gentleman's bed.

 

One day Paddington looked up to Art Books and noticed Someone sitting there.

" Good morning" Paddington said politely " Are you busy there? Shall I climb to you? "

 

"Good morning! What a nice surprise! For years I have not seen a new face in house. What you doing there? "

 

"I belong to support team" answered Paddington. "I support Ilona who cares for Old Gentleman".

 

"Come up then! I just finished to read and decided to have a little break."

 

" My name is Paddington and what is yours? "

 

" I am a Panda Bear and I belonged to the Lady who is not around anymore. Old Gentleman put me on this shelf closer to his art books so I have always something nice to look at. "

 

"Panda Bear! Don't you have relatives in China?"

 

"In fact I was born in London and never have been to China. Sit next to me and I will tell you the story," said Panda Bear

In the spring of 1937, England’s Merrythought Toy Company began marketing a collection of panda toys. Customers went wild. The very next year “panda fever” escalated across the UK and throughout the West when Ming-Ming became the first giant panda to settle in England.

 

Merrythought responded by introducing a new grouping of soft toy pandas as part of its 1939 product line — including the 13” example featured here. Described in company literature as a “pram [baby buggy] toy,” this furry creature embodies all the qualities that have kept the Merryhought factories humming since 1930!

 

Made of quality mohair, the toy is fully jointed and retains its original black felt paw pads, stitched nose and mouth and glass eyes. The toy’s squeaker is no longer working but it’s still there. As the photos show, this little panda retains the original Merrythought tag that was used prior to World War II, along with a tag that reads Merrythought hygienic toys Made in England. REGD. DES No. 82156 — indicating that this was a registered design. The gifted designer Florence Atwood was the head of design at the time, and this may be one of her creations

This tranquil scene from Gibbs Gardens captures a glorious spread of daffodils at the base of a sturdy tree, whose bark provides a rich texture against the softness of the flowers. The field of daffodils radiates outward, a dazzling array of white and yellow blossoms that seem to dance in the light breeze. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows over the daffodils and creating a dynamic interplay of light and color. This natural spectacle is set against the backdrop of the garden’s peaceful woodland, with the early signs of spring visible in the tender green tips of the surrounding grass. This image embodies the essence of spring in Ball Ground, Georgia, where nature's renewal is celebrated in every corner of the garden.

The Navajo Loop Trail at Bryce Canyon National Park is one of my favorite trails in the Southwest. I have visited this trail multiple times during two trips to Bryce Canyon. In today’s photo, I focused on a rock formation that separates part of the trail that offers a wide view into the canyon, from the narrow switchback section.

During my recent winter trip, I captured a vertical panorama of this massive rock formation just before sunrise. The challenge with this formation is that it is almost always in shadow during golden hour, creating a high-contrast scene as soon as the sun rises above the horizon. While I was waiting for the morning light to illuminate the hoodoos, I noticed the softer light on this rock. Since I had never seen it illuminated in this gentle light before, I decided to take advantage of the moment and capture a couple of photos. I’m certainly glad I did!

The Storm

 

I can face it.

I can be part of it.

I can watch it.

I can feel it,

I can feel it in my bones.

I can be afraid of it.

I can admire it and its unfolding changes in front of my eyes.

I can be one of the changes.

I can let it come over me.

I can run away from it.

I can be overwhelmed by its power.

I can embody its power.

I can weather it,

I can fight it.

I can feel so small,

I can feel super strong.

I can truly be anything and everything.

I can be, feel, or do something else within a second,

within a fraction of a second even.

But what I can't do, is to deny it.

I can't deny the storm.

Because...

in the early morning hush, beneath a sky heavy with mist, the sharp lines of the oculus rise like wings poised to take flight. designed by architect santiago calatrava, the oculus serves as the main transportation hub for the world trade center, its soaring steel ribs symbolizing a bird in flight. the building stands as a tribute to resilience, a stark contrast to the memories of loss that permeate this space.

 

above, one world trade center—commonly known as the freedom tower—pierces the sky, its pinnacle hidden in the thick, low-hanging clouds. this tower, the tallest building in the western hemisphere, embodies the strength and rebirth of the city. the photograph captures the serene tension of these structures on a misty day, moments before the rain began, freezing a moment where architecture and nature meld into a seamless tableau of urban poetry.

Excerpt from tourismhamilton.com:

 

Five Hundred Thousand Plus (32) by Brody Campbell: Intended on connecting with the residents of the city, the wrap I have designed showcases different homes throughout Hamilton. Each home is illustrated over a yellow backdrop with the only colour being a blue sky. I think it vaguely addresses the themes while effectively meeting the goals of the project. While each house has a different architectural style, each house also has a story. These stories come together to create the city, the story of Hamilton. This connection with homes embodies the word community and shows how each one of these smaller parts can come together to create a whole.

In the realm of high fashion, every movement tells a story, and with the Mala Animation Set, I embrace my narrative with grace, elegance, and a touch of fierceness. These animations are more than poses—they are moments captured in time, a celebration of subtlety and strength.

 

Refining the Art of Elegance: As I don this stunning black and red formal Asteria Grace gown, its satin finish draping effortlessly over my figure, the Mala Animation Set enhances every curve, every fold, and every nuance of its mermaid silhouette.

Each subtle breath, every delicate sway, brings life to the ensemble, embodying the perfect harmony between demure sophistication and captivating allure.

 

Empowered in Every Movement: The set offers four breathing-only stands that elevate the essence of natural beauty. My movements, though understated, convey a sense of confidence that commands the room. Paired with four animated poses, I can transition seamlessly between standing tall in regal composure to a fluid elegance that captivates my audience—whether on the runway or in the spotlight of a formal event.

 

Versatility Meets Style: From the understated movements in casual showcases to the commanding poise needed for high-fashion editorials, the Mala Animation Set adapts effortlessly. For this Asteria "Grace" Gown, the poses highlight its dramatic red bow, the sleek gloves, and the Bauhaus hat tilted just so. These animations ensure that every detail—from the lace to the sheen of satin—becomes a focal point.

 

A Model’s Essential Companion: In fashion modeling, there are times when less is more. The Mala Animation Set offers subtle hand gestures, impeccable leg placement, and refined expressions that speak volumes without saying a word.

This young woman embodies an enigma in the midst of urban hustle and bustle, a melancholic picture contrasting with the frantic pace of daily life in the Paris metro.

Embodying beauty art

Mira, a quarter horse crossbreed leaps with joy, its powerful hind legs fully extended, embodying the sheer thrill of freedom from the stalls.

Hovering against the expansive blue, the Juvenile Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) embodies the spirit of Sebastian Inlet State Park. In this shot, the pelican's poised demeanor and the spread of its powerful wings against the backdrop of clear skies capture the essence of freedom. Through the lens, I sought to encapsulate not just the bird's form but also the essence of its untamed world. My focus was on the interplay of light and shadow over its juvenile plumage, illustrating the delicate textures and patterns crafted by nature.

 

The photograph is a technical ballet, balancing exposure and shutter speed to freeze the pelican's flight without sacrificing the sharpness of its features or the subtleties of natural light. To fellow photographers, it's a moment that underscores the patience required to seize such ephemeral beauty, where timing and environmental awareness converge into the creation of visual poetry. This image is a celebration of avian life and the photographer's unyielding quest to do it justice.

A lone pine stands as a sentinel on a tiny islet, mirrored perfectly in the calm waters of Tinnåa. Mist drifts gently across the forested hills, softening the horizon and creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Captured just north of Notodden in Telemark, Norway, this scene embodies the quiet harmony between land, water, and sky.

 

Fun Fact

Tinnåa is part of the Telemark watercourse, historically vital for timber floating and hydroelectric power. Today, it offers tranquil landscapes that attract photographers and nature lovers seeking untouched Nordic beauty.

This image showcases a stunning street view in Palermo, Sicily, taken from an ultra-low angle that accentuates the grandeur of the historic architecture. The primary focus is on the Palermo Cathedral (Cattedrale di Palermo), an iconic landmark that exemplifies the cityâs rich cultural heritage. The cathedral's design is a harmonious blend of various architectural styles, including Norman, Moorish, Gothic, and Baroque influences, reflecting the diverse civilizations that have shaped Palermo over centuries.

 

The left side of the image features a row of ornate palazzi, likely dating back to the Renaissance or Baroque periods. These buildings exhibit traditional Sicilian architectural features, such as arched windows, intricately carved stone details, and iron balconies. The street itself exudes a timeless charm, with its cobblestone pavement and warm-toned facades that are characteristic of Mediterranean urban settings.

 

Palermo's historical significance is deeply tied to its role as a cultural crossroads in the Mediterranean. Founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by the Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spanish, the city has absorbed influences from each era. The Palermo Cathedral, originally built in 1185, stands as a testament to this layered history. Its evolution over the centuries, with additions from different periods, embodies the city's dynamic past.

 

Culinary traditions in Palermo are equally rich and diverse, with street food playing a central role. Visitors to the area might enjoy sampling dishes such as arancini (stuffed rice balls), pane e panelle (chickpea fritters served in a sandwich), and the famous cassata siciliana, a traditional dessert. The cityâs vibrant food markets, such as Ballarò and Vucciria, provide an immersive experience into Palermoâs gastronomic culture, which, much like its architecture, reflects a tapestry of influences from its multicultural history.

Cassian Set by WellMade Fashion — A Love Letter to Bold Femininity

 

I don’t just wear the Cassian Set — I embody it.

 

This isn't simply an outfit. It’s a magnetic expression of sensuality, a siren call to those who admire detail, confidence, and unapologetic beauty. With its sculpted silhouette and daring strappy cut-outs, the Cassian two-piece whispers secrets from the golden age of pin-up glam while dancing boldly into the future of digital couture. Every angle flatters, every curve is celebrated.

Whether I slip into soft pastels for a dreamy afternoon or command attention in bold reds and inky blacks, the optional shine effect lets me shimmer just a little more than the rest.

 

In this design, I feel like I’ve stepped out of a 90s Versace runway, reimagined for the digital era. The star-charmed chains and lingerie-inspired lines nod to haute couture’s sultriest moments — think boudoir meets cyber glam. It's fashion history rewritten with modern pixel precision.

Flamingos are large birds that are identifiable by their long necks, sticklike legs and pink or reddish feathers. Flamingos embody the saying "you are what you eat." The pink and reddish colors of a flamingo's feathers come from eating pigments found in algae and invertebrates.

There are six species of flamingo, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS): greater flamingo, lesser flamingo, Chilean flamingo, Andean flamingo, James' (or puna) flamingo and American (or Caribbean) flamingo.

The smallest of all Flamingos is the Lesser, and it is also the one that there is the most of. It is estimated that about 5 million of them reside in the world. They are found mainly in Africa and Asia. They are also one of the most common types of Flamingos in captivity due to their ability to adapt well to such environments.

 

Greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) are tall, pink bird in any given locale. They also have long, lean, curved necks and black-tipped bills with a distinctive downward bend.

These beauties in flight were photographed on a bird walk along the shores of Lake Elementaita, Kenya.

I have had this shot on my mind for a year. Finally I found what I was looking for, with a little time to spare and the camera in my lap...

 

This composition presents a resplendent corridor of trees flanking a lone, winding lane, their canopies awash in a cascade of rich autumnal tones. The heightened contrast accentuates the dynamic interplay between light and shadow, casting elongated, inky shadows that intermingle with splashes of golden warmth on the path below. This chiaroscuro effect imbues the scene with a meditative intensity, as if each shadow and slant of light tells a whispered story of time’s relentless progression.

 

The trees themselves are a study in seasonal transience: deep sienna, burnt umber, and soft crimson leaves intermingle with flashes of amber and ochre. Their vibrant hues are at once inviting and haunting, emblematic of autumn’s duality—a celebration of life’s fleeting beauty as well as an ode to inevitable decline. Together, they form a natural colonnade, subtly guiding the observer’s eye toward an unseen horizon. The lane, bathed in pockets of light and shadow, suggests both destination and departure, embodying the transitory nature of existence as echoed in the season’s rich, ephemeral colours.

This powerful image captures an adult rhinoceros wandering through the red sands of Namibia. A symbol of resilience and quiet strength, the rhino embodies the wild spirit of Africa’s vast and breathtaking landscapes.

"Chanteloup XXO embodies a heritage transmitted through nine generations, as the Martell art of blending has been passed on from one Cellar Master to the next. Today, just as I blend eaux-de-vie that were aged by my predecessors, so I nurture eaux-de-vie that will be blended by my successors.”

Intense fruity aromas predominate amid an impression of fullness, balance, power and elegance, which continues into a remarkably long finish.

 

Martell Chanteloup XXO is named after the historic Château de Chanteloup near Cognac, France, which is the soul of Maison Martell. It is fitting, therefore, that Martell Chanteloup XXO takes cognac lovers right to the heart of the House , and to the very essence of its art of blending. This legacy of savoir-faire, perpetuated through nine generations, is today in the hands of Cellar Master Christophe Valtaud, who blends Martell Chanteloup XXO from up to 450 very old eaux-de-vie, from the four most prestigious cognac crus, brought together in perfect harmony. An unprecedent combination of richness and complexity, Martell Chanteloup XXO offers cognac lovers a complete expression of the very best of the Cognac terroir.

[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções

Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.

“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)

 

[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones

Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.

“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)

 

[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions

I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.

“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)

This photo embodies my native country to me: traditional boats floating, lush green of the land, thatched roof houses and a vast river in the backdrop. It is taken close to my maternal grandfather's birthplace in southern Bangladesh.

Neuschwanstein embodies both the contemporaneous architectural fashion known as castle romanticism, and King Ludwig II's enthusiasm for the operas of Richard Wagner. At the time of King Ludwig's death the palace was far from complete. He slept only 11 nights in the castle.

Toronto folk musician Ms Nadia High. When we as Africans wear the colour yellow we are embodying the essence of the Goddess Oshun and the God Shango.her male counterpart. As I am half East Indian these spirits are celebrated in Vedic traditions as well. In Hinduism the Goddess Oshun is called, Mother Lakshmi. So from my two cultures, Ase and Namaste 🙏

Roan Mountain in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee embodies the beauty of the Southern Appalachian landscape.

 

Lush rolling green hills covered in blooming Rhododendrons makes spring such a wonderful time to explore this alluring land.

 

As I came upon this particular scene, I felt as if I was looking through a window to another world.

 

And looking at this image now, I felt compelled to create a short verse to aid in my self-expression:

 

"Come away with me, to a place where the hills are lush and green and all God's creatures play.

 

Come away with me, and stay, in this magical place where all your troubles fade and your heart is set free.

 

Come away with me, and you will see, truly see, the beauty of this world."

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, and thank you for stopping by to listen and to view my photos.
