It’s as if we were on some desert island. An island on which we may have to remain alone together for years.
(From: Kiss Of The Spider Woman, by Manuel Puig, 1976).
Like herself, the pink flamingo is a shipwreck survivor and her best friend on the island. Come to think of it, the big bird is her only friend on the island. And her coworker also. There is nobody else around, really.
Even so, there are only so many conversations one can have during the course of a normal work day. Eventually, one has heard it all. Boredom sets in. Gentle undercurrents of tension can arise. It is perhaps best to ignore each other for a while.

Homage to Beatrix Potter and her roguish creation Peter Rabbit. While I love Beatrix Potters stories and wonderful illustrations it is her work as a conservationist that I admire most.
Helen Beatrix Potter 28 July 1866 – 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. She is best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was her first commercially published work in 1902. Her books, including 23 Tales, have sold more than 250 million copies. An entrepreneur, Potter was a pioneer of character merchandising. In 1903, Peter Rabbit was the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy, making him the oldest licensed character. -- Courtesy Wikipedia

A little girl took over from her mother for awhile to look after their 'merchandise' in the busy Siti Khadijah Market, in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. It is a normal scenario to see Kelantan women are ahead of their men in retail business.

National Trust Properties
Cragside, Rothbury, Northumberland
Cragside was the dream of the Victorian entrepreneur, William Armstrong. Originally trained as a solicitor, was a keen amateur scientist who then conducted experiments in electricity and hydraulics. In 1847 he left the law to set up his own company W. G. Armstrong & Co. just outside Newcastle. During the 1850’s he made his fortune supplying arms to the British Army. He was knighted in 1859.
The original house was a small shooting lodge which was built between 1862-64. In 1869 Armstrong employed the services of architect Richard Norman Shaw to enlarge Cragside, firstly in 1869 and again in 1882. Between these years the house blossomed, not only with the breath-taking architecture but the house was filled with wonderful works of art. Both of the Armstrong’s were great patrons to the Arts.
However after Armstrong’s death in 1900, Cragside ran into difficulty and in 1910 the best of the art was sold off. Eventually with heavy death duties in the 1970’s the family sold up and the National Trust in 1977. Cragside is a Grade I listed building and was opened to the public in 1979.
There is much to see both inside the house and the garden to enjoy, it is well worth a visit. This is the last of the four postings.

To be able to offer as many products as possible on the market, this entrepreneur built the most efficient combination possible within the maximum length of 18.75 meters.
He started with a regular tractor, dismantled the fifth wheel, and mounted a closed flatbed on the chassis.
Then he ordered a trailer of 12.50 meters and had it set up as a sales area.

We visited Cleveland's West Side Market yesterday morning for some shopping. Of course, I had my camera with me. This is a photo of a young girl who was busily making small woven baskets for sale. By far, she was the busiest and most aspiring entrepreneur at the market.
For me, the best part of this photograph is the sunlight on the girl's hair. I also liked the intense look on her face as she worked so hard.
Fellow Flickrite mpaulda was kind enough to send me some cameras to play around with this summer. Thanks Mark!

… Depuis la flambée immobilière, le prix des terrains à grimpé considérablement donc ils se sont lancés dans la construction en hauteur… Partout, nous voyons des tours à appartements qui semblent sortir du sol comme des forets de bétons… Ils ne sont pas les seuls car lors de ma première sortie en vélo hier, j'ai vu sur la piste cyclable que les Grands Pics-Bois semblent suivre cette tendance… Photo prise dans «Mon Studio à Ciel Ouvert»

Yes, I'm coming back to Flickr after a long break, eager to see what you have on your streams, dear friends. But it will take some time to visit you all...
All is very fine with me and Barbara. Actually I didn't only take a break from Flickr but from photography too, partly because of much work, partly because I suddenly didn't find the same joy in taking pictures as before. But now I have found my way back to the camera...:)
The picture is from Varna in Bulgaria.
Anyone can be an entrepreneur.
Men and women both have an equal chance of becoming a successful entrepreneur, based upon their individual skills, and even children can start early and become entrepreneurs at any age – which can be seen in the occasional lemonade stand in your own neighborhood...
