A library picture. The Heygate Estate was not a pretty looking place. It was social housing in Zone 1 of London next to the Elephant & Castle Underground and Overground Stations.
It was torn down a few years ago and replaced by apartments that looked slightly more sophisticated on the outside.
Many people moved out of their own free will. Some were encouraged out. Others were left in place until they could stand it no more.
On a dark, rainy winter's day the place had all the charm of a Soviet era prison.
The mass of blue near the top of frame is a clear blue sky. Londoners, ask your friends outside of London what that is.

My mother suffered with fibromyalgia - and was told by numerous doctors that it was "all in her head". Since then, we have learned that that's not true.
We netted our Persimmon and Fig trees (which grow side by side) a few months ago before the fruits of these trees ripened. But the Rainbow Lorikeets decided these Persimmons were too delicious so they chewed the netting and got into the tree. So we now have some fifty or so half pecked fruit. We've picked all the remaining fruit and got quite a few un-pecked ones. This fruit was too far gone and has been frosted in the recent colder weather. We will have to mend our large net before using it for next year!

"Time for Fun" is massive sculpture by Seward Johnson. Behind it is the Key West Museum of Art and History, built in 1891. The building, described as "Richardsonian Romanesque" architectural style, once served as a U.S. Customs Office, Federal Courthouse and Post Office.
Time for Fun is a 25 foot tall sculpture, inspired by an 1883 painting ("Dance in the Country", Pierre-Auguste Renoir).

I often wonder what life will have in store for my boys, all I wish for them is to live life to the full and I hope with all my heart that they will have a happy life.
I bribed Harry to be a hand model for me here...he was promised that he could take a shot of his Teddy sheila when I had done...hehe he made me hold her like he'd held the paper for me, which I did without any moaning "have you done yet...this is the last shot" hehehe.
You can find Harry's Teddy pic in the comments below.
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord

Thanks so much Frank for this beautiful poem.

For Smile on Saturday
Theme: In Spooky Company
Shooting has been incredible lately. I feel like there is a new force pushing me along. It is overcast today so I'll be out shooting for most of it, and I can't wait. I've never felt so motivated to pick up my camera and click.
Over a year ago I did a photo using fake snow, and I said to myself that i'd never use fake snow again in place of fake cobweb...but when it came down to it, I had a ton of fake snow this year (I was trying to emulate the christmas spirit as seen in Pennsylvania) so I had to put it to use :)

Twice upon a time
In the valley of the tears
The auctioneer is bidding
For a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing
On the graves of squealing mice
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn't that be nice?...

Giant tennis ball at Borrego Springs...
ps...My dogs loved it...
for every pair you buy a pair is donated to a child in need.
love love lovemy Toms shoes. It was nice today, not too hot but warm enough for shorts :) My dad just put up our hammock for the summer so I took advantage of that.
Rarely do I see Rooks posted online by wildlife photographers because they are common. But for me they are one of the most interesting birds we have in the UK.
The chickadees swoop in for one seed, then fly off to enjoy it…

Now, for the 3rd year running, we have another 3 young House Martins developing fast. These are the 3 egg shells found in the garden, 2 on the 29th May with an interesting fine pattern inside, (showing through the light) and the last one found 2 days later on 31st May with no patterning inside?
The shells are incredibly delicate and only the size of a small fingernail. Alas, since this photograph was taken, the birds have not visited again since 2020.
Waiting for some birds to show up.

Headed for town, near Singapore River, yesterday hoping that I meet up with the White Bellied Sea Eagle who dives for his fish around 3 pm. Waited for 2 hrs and no show. So I started to shoot Beautiful People from where I was sitting on the floor.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Beautiful Day
Take care and stay safe everyone
Wishing all a Happy Weekend
Thank you

Been a while since I built anything Starcraft, but apparently I still have some unfinished business with that game, so here is my take on a Zerg Queen!
Built for the Space Jam 2021 horror category.
My entry for the LUGNuts "Fire and Ice" challenge. A rescue truck used predominantly in the winter for ice rescue missions, but the tracks can be replace with wheels to become the station's swift water rescue.

Now the question is whether or not to make a base for it...

UTENSILS, COLOURS and TEXTURES.
They ALL mean work, LOL, love the different textures, wood, bristle, plastic, stone, elastic, metal...
You know what they say!
A new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners?
'A new broom sweeps clean' means that someone with a new perspective can make great changes. However, the full version is 'a new broom sweeps clean, but an old brush knows the corners', which warns that experience is also a valuable thing.
I could NOT walk past this, it was begging to be photographed!

“The freedom of birds is an insult to me.”
― Cormac McCarthy
I hate envy. It is evil and I truly thank God that I've never envied others in my life BUT I sometimes tend to envy the birds or let say wish I have their capacity to fly high and to fly freely...to swim in the air and to let its power carry me aimlessly. I believe freedom is the most precious gift man can ask God for and though it comes in many kinds and forms, the core remains the same. Still, it is always relative as long as we as we are here on earth.
This is an old photograph that I took last year when I noticed a red batman-shaped kite in the sky.
Sorry but I've been extremely busy over the last couple of days. I'll do my best to catch up.
Honestly wishing you all a very blessed holidays...
Merry Christmas to all of you in advance!
The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.
