Extremely rare to have captured the aurora borealis in Belgium.
Like in most places in Europe, the G5 geomagnetic storm was visible far and wide.
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea; to see the beautiful sea, sea, sea: a toddler's first experience with sand and waves other than one he sees on his mom's phone

I went out to see Muse and Guru enjoying the cat enclosure, but - nope! - they both wanted back inside.
On my first “tour beyond the horizon”, as a “Moses” (German, for the lowest ranking ‘deckhand‘ on a ship) on the German freighter “MS-Regenstein”.
Here is the 24th picture of my 52 project.
Theme of the week was "Colors".
As I only work in Black & White, I have decided to challenge myself with a colored picture. I never did it before, so here is the first one. I have chose to do a "vintage" treatment, learnt few weeks ago.
Come here next Sunday for the picture number 25.
My gear & settings - Nikon D750 , Nikkor AF-S f/1.8G Lens 50mm, ISO 100, Shutter open 15 seconds, WB Auto , 2 second timer delay on shot.
My first time out shooting after midnight.
Footdee is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland known locally as "Fittie". It is an old fishing village at the east end of the harbour. The name is actually folk etymology. Far from being "Foot of the Dee/Fit o the Dee", it is actually a corruption of a former dedication to a "St Fothan".
The area has had a settlement as far back as the Medieval times and the first recorded reference to the area of Fittie was in the year 1398. This village was slightly further North than where Footdee is now located. It would have been near to where the St Clement's Church is located.
Footdee is a particularly interesting example of a planned housing development purpose-built to re-house Aberdeen's local fishing community. Laid out in 1809 by John Smith, then Superintendent Of The Town's Public Works. Smith went on to establish himself as one of Aberdeen's key architects. Occupying an isolated spit of land to the SE of Aberdeen's city centre, its regimented squares have been described as a cross between the neo-classical aspirations of Aberdeen and the close-knit fishing communities of the north-east.
The two squares of 'Fish Town' (known as Footdee), originally contained 28 single-storey thatched houses although this increased when the later Middle Row (circa 1837) and Pilot Square (circa 1855) were added. The entrances on each of the North and South squares were filled in the 1870s by William Smith (son of John and architect of Balmoral Castle). He also added additional storeys to the East and West sides of South Square creating a tenement feel. This was an attempt to ease crowding resulting from an influx of fishing families from other less prosperous areas and to help try to enforce the 'one-house-one-family' rule.
The Town Council decided to start selling the dwellings to occupiers in 1880, beginning a period of incremental development and reconstruction. Additional storeys and dormers were added piecemeal by the new owners as funds allowed. The result is one of individuality expressed within the constraints of a strictly formal plan and is a contributing factor to the special architectural and historical interest of Footdee as a whole.
Throughout the 19th century, 'tarry sheds' were added to the communal land within the squares opposite each dwelling and now every dwelling has its own shed. Originally constructed from drift wood and other found materials, the sheds have been built and rebuilt in an idiosyncratic manner over the years in a variety of materials with rendered brick now predominating slightly (2006). Some timber built sheds remain, predominantly on the North side of North Square.
North Square Mission Hall occupies the central area of the North Square, reflecting its significance as an integral part of village life. The building is plain, with simple detailing throughout, and as such, responds sympathetically to its setting and context. Known locally as 'the schoolie' the hall was built for general as well as religious purposes and continues to operate as a multi-purpose meeting space.
The entire Footdee village was added to the statutory list in 1967 as a single entity. The village was subsequently given Conservation Area status in 1968. At resurvey in 2006, each building within the Conservation Area was re-assessed separately. Key examples, demonstrating both individual architectural interest and representing the history and development of the village as a whole, were selected for listing.
On an 1828 map, the new housing squares were specifically labelled 'Fish Town'. 'Footdee' referred to the larger area from St. Clement's Church to 'Fish Town'. Later, the name 'Footdee' was erroneously used to refer specifically to the housing squares, with 'Fish Town' becoming forgotten.
On Tuesday 25 September 2012, Footdee became covered in foam from the sea after experiencing strong wind and rain conditions. The effect was like a blanket of snow and this made the UK national news.
God's Utterance "God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself III" (Part One)
Introduction
Almighty God says: "God sees this instance of management of mankind, of saving humans, as more important than anything else. He does these things not only with His mind, nor is it only with His words, and He particularly does not do it casually—He does all of these things with a plan, with a goal, with standards, and with His will. It is clear that this work to save mankind holds great significance for both God and man. No matter how difficult the work is, no matter how great the obstacles are, no matter how weak humans are, or how deep mankind’s rebelliousness is, none of this is difficult for God. God makes Himself busy, expending His effort and managing the work He Himself wants to carry out. He is also arranging everything, and ruling all the people and the work He wants to complete—none of this has been done before. It is the first time God has used these methods and paid a great price for this major project of managing and saving mankind. While God is carrying out this work, little by little He is expressing to humans without reservation His hard work, what He has and is, His wisdom and almightiness, and every aspect of His disposition. He unreservedly reveals all of this to mankind bit by bit, revealing and expressing these things as He has never done before."
OK, so I went out today with the intention of getting some photos for the 365.....dull, grey, uninspiring. So, what to do ?
Next challenge ! Water drops.
I kid you not.....this is the first time I have tried this and I am delighted with the results. Expect a few more posts over the weekend and a full rundown on how I did it on my blog.

Madeira in Holland -
Had a Madeiran couple visiting for the first time in the Netherlands ....
The windmill De Kat was originally built in 1781.
It is an octagonal mill with a rotating cap and external gallery. Since its restoration and partial rebuild in 1960 it has been fitted out to grind colouring materials.
The mill is located on the River Zaan between the windmills De Zoeker and De Poelenburg, near the Zaanse Schans, where it makes a dominant contribution to the landscape.
A windmill was first set up on this spot around 1646, receiving its permit to use the wind on 11 January 1646, issued to Adriaen Gerritsz.
This picture is my first attempt with a ND-Filter (Haida ND 1000).
I know that I learn and try much still needs in dealing with the filter.

First time I go to the beach with my son.
So cute, he didnt move in the first time, hands up and just looking around with big eyes.
The sand feels strange at his feet so I put his little crocs back on.
After an half an hour he didnt want to leave and likes the freedom .. the sand and getting dirty.
