Sandsend is a small fishing village, near to Whitby in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Lythe. It is the birthplace of fishing magnate George Pyman. Originally two villages, Sandsend and East Row, the united Sandsend has a pub and restaurant. A large part of the western side of the village, in The Valley, is still owned by Mulgrave Estate. The Valley is one of the most expensive areas to buy property on the Yorkshire Coast.

Salyx, having a wee shady moment on the new garden sofa...
We built this behemoth in June...from old pallets and new decking. I thought it was a good idea. It weighs a bloomin’ tonne! It is more than seven ft long, at one point. Also, I had to buy some sheds in which to keep the over-the-top-expensive cushions.
Anyway...not content with lying under a tree or a bush, Madam decided that comfort was top of the agenda.

This is a luxury apartment building in West Vancouver, know as the Pink Palace, although its real name is The Villa Maris. It is considered the second most important architectural landmark in West Vancouver after the Lions Gate Bridge.
There is a three bedroom available for $4,200 a month - any takers?
Sadly, this building is going to be demolished by 2026 for, of course, more condos.
Just a simple close-up shot of the corners of £20, £5 and £10 notes. I don’t love money but love the designs and colours on banknotes wherever I come across them around the world.
No matter how chaotic the outside world (or inside of mind) can get, you can count on the fact that this savage beast is definitely soothed by music. (It's a real shame that idiom is actually a misquote but we wont get into the origins of phrases at the moment).
Right now I want to curl up with some good tunes, a fat spliff and chill without 200 pounds of combat gear on while jumping through fiery hoops... before it kills me.

Today I photographed at the village Racerovice. I went after these tracks just 3 meters. On the way back I fell into a ditch. There were 1.5 meters of snow. I had to call a towing service. My Mitsubishi is too heavy and could not pull out. After half an hour we succeeded. The price was 65 USD. Very expensive photo!

Reassuringly expensive champers emporium in Alicante.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. This absolutely had to stay in colour with her green eyes, the green coat and the green reflection - and yes, the white balance is spot on (corrected in post)! She had pale make-up that really made it all stand out beautifully and although I used my usual subterfuge tactic, she knew she had been photographed and smiled at me afterwards. Enjoy full screen by pressing 'L' or clicking on the image!
We had a significant ice storm early this morning. I went out to take some photos. I had my Olympus E-M5 Mk3 with my Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 lens. To make a long story short, I slipped and fell down the front steps and snapped the lens clean off the body of my camera.
The camera body suffered significant damage and is probably not repairable for any reasonable cost. However, the lens survived and seems none the worse for wear. And since the lens is worth more than the body, I guess that was the desirable outcome.
E’ l’ultima delle 10 Nart Spider prodotte e la terzultima della serie 275.
E’ l’unica Nart venduta in Europa, certificata da Ferrari Classica.
Nata grigia, anzi esattamente grigio scuro, ora è rossa.
Ps: Nart sta per North American Racing Team (NART) che era la scuderia creata nel 1958 da Luigi Chinetti.
E’ una Ferrari da film. Una 275 Gts/4 Nart Spider ha infatti recitato in The Thomas Crown affair accanto a Steve McQueen,uno che le auto (e non solo) le ha sempre amate. Anche se nel film la definisce “one of those red italian things“. Una di quelle cose rosse italiane…. Una di quelle cose rosse e italiane che gli hanno fatto perdere la testa (un po’ come Fay Dunaway nel film) tanto che proprio durante le riprese, ordinò la prima Ferrari della sua collezione.
Hollywood a parte, la 275 Gts/4 Nart comincia la sua storia grazie a Luigi Chinetti, l’importatore americano delle vetture di Maranello.E’ stato lui a convincere Ferrari a produrre la versione spider da affiancare alla 33o Gts e alla 275 GTB/4 per soddisfare la sofisticata clientela statunitense. Un modello con una rispettabile storia sportiva: seconda di classe (17° posto totale) alla 12 ore di Sebring del 1967.
L’esemplare che va all’asta a Monaco fu venduta in Spagna, a Madrid nel 1968 a un colonnello della Legione Straniera che le mise targhe Sahariane (Spanish Sahara per la precisione) senza mai esportarla in Nord Africa però. Qualche anno più tardi cambiò di mano, restando in Spagna (con targa di Madrid) ed entrando a far parte della collezione di José Segimon che la testò a fondo anche in pista a Jarama. Nel 1982 emigrò in Inghilterra dove fu ridipinta di rosso e nel 1983 è entrata a far parte della scuderia di Albert Obrist, uno dei collezionisti svizzeri più famosi. Nel 1995 la famiglia Obrist la vendette però negli Stati Uniti dove il suo proprietario Terry Hoyle la sfoggiò spesso facendola arrivare anche sulla cover di Octane nel 2005. Nel 2009 la Nart cambio ancora proprietario finendo nel garage di Lord Laidlaw nel West Sussex. la moglie di Lord Laidlaw la guidò personalmente in un raduno riservato alle signore in Toscana… Una storia fatta di una decina di proprietari che fanno parte di una ristretta schiera di grandi cxollezionisti Ferrari (in 5 hanno avuto anche delle Gto in garage).
E’ una Ferrari gioiello, insomma.

One of the rarest roadsters in the world, the 1968 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spider was first seen on the big screen in the The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen—a model the actor himself subsequently owned. Built at the behest of Luigi Chinetti, the first Ferrari dealer in the United States, Enzo Ferrari and Sergio Scaglietti produced only 10 examples—and each was given an acronym that referenced the marque’s North American Racing Team. Chinetti believed the American market desired the power of Ferrari’s GTB/4 coupe but in a convertible configuration, and that is exactly what the 300 hp, drop-top tourer provided. Still a competitor at heart, the first NART Spider took second in class at the 1967 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, driven by wonder women Marianne “Pinkie” Rollo and Denise McCluggage.
Fit with a V-12 engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes, Chassis No. 11057 stands out in significance as it was the last NART Spider produced and the only one that was sold new in Europe. Bought by a Spanish colonel in the Foreign Legion, the car later travelled through several owners and became a prominent addition to the collections of both Chris Cox and Carlo Monteverde before eventually parking in the possession of Lord Irvine Laidlaw. Certified by Ferrari Classiche, the exceptional example is estimated to fetch up to $26.3 million, but who knows? If the bidding exceeds $38,115,000 (the price paid for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta through Bonhams in 2014), this Prancing Horse could take the prize as the most expensive car to ever sell at auction.

Grazie antonè per collaborazione!
The top floor had terrified me, quite frankly. Even Michael didn't like it and he's as stoic and calm as they come. We quickly descended to the floor below and walked through the long corridors, lined by these rectangular spaces, each which would have been a room in someone's flat.
In another life.
I always imagine building sites and occasionally these derelict places having wall-to-wall glass when finished. That's never the case - glass is expensive and I guess people need wall space to put stuff against. But still, in my head I could see this as a finished room with the hole in front of me as one giant. It would be marvellous.
I wanted to get a walk in and decided that with the wind and forecast of cloud, a flat walk along the river Ure and back through the Bolton Estate was the way to go - with a visit to Wensley church graveyard as well
When I decided to set up the flower shop for Brita, I didn't know that miniature flowers were so expensive and so difficult to make.
Result? The layout of the shop grows very slowly. -__-
But yesterday I thought: what if I use real flowers? Small dried or fresh flowers taken in the garden?
So here are some new flowers. I like the final effect.
These flowers are not eternal, but I am drawn to the idea of changing them every time I want to take a new photo!

I guess if you are going to spend 20 dollars on fuel to get a train picture you might as well get a pretty one. At least I didn't have to fly here I guess.
Unbeknownst to me, an extremely early 925 went through Oamaru at 5:30 pm today, but I managed to catch it in time to snap the train passing through this coastal vista at Shag Point.
With a short holiday-length train, only the lead loco was running, and the blue DC was a bonus. Managed another three pics before the clouds from the south encroached, but this one wins for me.

Does £10 a kilo sound expensive to you? I just checked the online price at a major supermarket, and loose tomatoes are there for £1.75 a kg. OK, probably not so tasty, and not organic, but I can't help feeling these prices are aimed at clueless visitors.
If you had an expensive car in the 30s, and wanted to also flaunt your good taste, you might approach France's premier glass sculptor Lalique, and choose a mascot for your radiator that emphasizes both your wealth and taste. If you also wanted to take it to the next level, you would have it wired so that you can light it internally, at night. Most place Chrysis, the high priest of Hera's Temple in Argos, Greese, as the most striking of Laliques creations.
Though you can still purchase some of his 30s designs today, to purchase a genuine mascot with provenance from a....oh....Hispano Suiza limo, it would cost you what you paid for your last car.
Chrysis was one of the last of the high priestess' from the Temple of Hera, the Sister and Wife of Zeus (no cracks now) and the Mother of the Gods of Mt. Olympus. Argos was in the Peloponnese peninsula not too far from Sparta. Further backstory would fill the library....but it is wonderfully interesting. This is a variation on an image I posted several years ago.

The Avant is a multi-use tower occupying an entire city block between Elmwood Ave and Delaware Ave in Buffalo, New York. It houses class A office space, and the Embassy Suites hotel, and luxury residential condominiums on the top three floors. When it was completed in 2009, the building housed the most expensive group of condominiums ever built in the Buffalo metropolitan area. The building's remodeling is the largest recycling project in Western New York history.
Originally called the Thaddeus J. Dulski Federal Building, it was sold in April 2007 for $6.1 million and began renovated for $83 million. It is the 22nd tallest building in Buffalo.

.... and expensive apartments can now be found in Williamsburg.
A view from the Williamsburg Bridge into what will be the new, gentrified Williamsburg waterfront complex dominated by the Domino Sugar Refinery.
From the mid 1870s until WWII New York dominated sugar production worldwide. The decline in production led the American Sugar Refining Company to sell this relic of New York's industrial past to developers for $55 million in 2004.
Plans to tear down the original factory to build 2200 residential housing units, a waterfront esplanade, retail stores, etc., brought preservationists out to the waterfront in droves. In 2007 the Landmarks Preservation Society came to the rescue by approving landmark status for the original refinery section of the factory and the Domino Sugar sign. Although, several lawsuits pertaining to landmarks status of the entire 11.2 acre complex and surrounding buildings are still pending, according to recent newspaper articles, the development plans are underway.
I wonder if there's anyway to get into that building..........
On the west coast of Mallorca Port d‘Andratx is an exclusive harbour town in front of picturesque mountain scenery. The snow-white hulls of outrageously expensive sailing and motor yachts sway backward and forth on the turquoise waters. The yacht club has 450 berths and in midsummer every single one of them is occupied.
Port d'Andratx is a swanky place to live in Mallorca. Celebrities from the world of film, television, politics and the fashion industry can be seen regularly in the tapas bars and cafes at the port. The port is located on a fjord-like bay, which is considered by many Mallorca connoisseurs to be the most beautiful on the island. The foothills of the Tramuntana mountains reach down to the coast while up on the rocky cliffs, villas and fincas sit high above the sea.
I copy\pasted this info directly from the Northwest Waterfall Survey: Pending the documentation of Alice Falls, and perhaps the even more isolated Cress Falls, Ranger Falls could be considered the best waterfall in the Carbon River area of Mount Rainier National Park. The falls drop down a forested, mossy step, cascading 44 feet then plunging 55 feet before spitting into two segments, which converge just before the base of the falls, dropping another 73 feet.
I think I've waited long enough to post my fave shot of Ranger Falls. It's been blown up to 16x20 and is hanging just off my right shoulder right now. :-) Can't stop thinking of this place, guess I need to get those snow shoes, and poles, and warmer gortex coat, and.......Gads this hobby is expensive! Happy Sunday all!
