The blood splatter shows deep anger in one form or another, I like the color and the vibrancy of the picture, what I do not like is i could not get close enough with out major blur, I would change maybe making a bigger blood splatter on a bigger scale in order to get a much clearer picture, but it does add a nice affect to the photo of mystery.

La urbanización es un desafío sin precedentes. A mediados de este siglo, cuatro de cada cinco personas podrían estar viviendo en pueblos y ciudades. La urbanización y el desarrollo están íntimamente relacionados, por lo que es necesario encontrar una forma de garantizar la sostenibilidad del crecimiento. La urbanización se ha convertido en una fuerza motriz, así como una fuente de desarrollo con el poder de cambiar y mejorar la vida.

Anish Kapoor in Pitzhanger Manor, optical tricks with mirrors and metal
Anish Kapoor
(March to August 2019)
Within the newly restored gallery, with its three circular skylights, Kapoor’s sculptures challenge our traditional notion of form and space by disorientating the viewer and transforming their surroundings.
These sculptures echo Soane’s complex use of mirrors and light and will enable visitors to Pitzhanger to see Soane’s architecture from a fresh perspective.
[Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery]
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.

Bréhat a été le premier site naturel à être classé ou inscrit au titre des « sites et monuments remarquables naturels de caractéristiques artistiques ».
Île-de-Bréhat [il də bʁea] est une commune française située dans le département des Côtes-d'Armor au nord de la pointe de l'Arcouest en Bretagne. Elle est constituée de l'archipel de Bréhat, qui doit son nom à l'île principale dont le nom breton est Enez Vriad.
Cette commune est rattachée au canton de Paimpol (arrondissement de Saint-Brieuc).
L'archipel qui forme le territoire de la commune est d'une superficie totale de 309 hectares, incluant l'île principale et 86 îlots et récifs voisins. Bréhat est séparée du continent par le chenal du Ferlas, large de environ 600 m à 700 m.
Avec 290 ha, l'île principale, longue de 3,5 km et large de 1,5 km maximum, est en fait composée à marée haute de deux îles réunies au xviiie siècle, par un pont-chaussée (ou pont ar Prat c'est-à-dire « pont de la Prairie », appelé aussi « pont-chaussée Vauban ») : l'« île Nord » au relief de landes et l'« île Sud » plus fleurie.
Bréhat fut le premier site naturel classé en France le 13 juillet 1907.
L'Arcouest est le quai d'embarquement le plus proche et le seul fournissant des liaisons pendant toute l'année. Il est situé sur la commune de Ploubazlanec. Les « vedettes de Bréhat » assurent l'accès à l'île par une navette maritime qui accomplit toute l'année la traversée du chenal du Ferlas en une dizaine de minutes, depuis L'Arcouest jusqu'au Port-clos (sur la côte sud de l'île, face au continent).
L'Arcouest est lui-même desservi depuis Saint-Brieuc via Paimpol, par la ligne 9 du Ti'Bus, le service de transport départementaux costarmoricains.
Les autres ports d'embarquement d'Erquy, de Dahouët, de Saint-Quay-Portrieux, de Binic et de Tréguier, ne sont opérationnels qu'en période estivale.
Les engins à moteur (automobiles et camions) sont en principe « interdits » sur l'île, bien que de nombreux engins diesel y circulent. Aussi les vedettes ne transportent-elles pas de véhicules. Un parking à L'Arcouest est mis à la disposition des passagers.
La circulation sur place se fait :
à pied ;
à vélo ;
en tracteur pour le transport en commun (« petit train ») ;
en engins utilitaires.
La commune est concernée par deux types de zones remarquables.
Zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF)
La commune est concernée par une seule zone de ce type : la ZNIEFF continentale de type 1 de la « Côte nord et ouest de l'île Bréhat », soit 311,79 hectares sur la côte ouest de l'île, incluant l'estran, le phare du Paon au nord, le port de la Corderie et l'île Raguénès au sud. La ZNIEFF vise les îlots, bancs rocheux et récifs de ce littoral.
Zone de protection spéciale (ZPS, directive Oiseaux)
Tout l'archipel est compris dans la grande zone de protection spéciale (ZPS) de « Tregor Goëlo », un site Natura 2000 selon la directive Oiseaux qui couvre 91 228 hectares répartis sur 27 communes des Côtes-d'Armor.
Zone spéciale de conservation (ZSC, directive Habitat)
L'archipel est également inclus dans la Zone spéciale de conservation (ZSC) de « Tregor Goëlo », un site d'intérêt communautaire (SIC) selon la directive Habitat qui couvre 91 438 hectares au total.
Séparée de la terre par un bras de mer, Bréhat n'est qu'à une dizaine de minutes en bateau de la pointe de l’Arcouest. Et pourtant... Le dépaysement est immédiat sur cette île rebaptisée "l'île aux fleurs" pour la variété de sa flore et la beauté de ses paysages. Un vrai petit coin de paradis.
Toute l'année, le Gulf Stream assure à ce magnifique endroit un véritable micro climat. Accordez-vous une journée pour découvrir ses maisons pleines de charme et ses criques sauvages. Et oubliez la voiture ! Ici, pas de moteur. On ne circule qu'à vélo ou à pied. Seule commune insulaire du département des Côtes d'Armor, Bréhat, longue de 3,5 kilomètres et large d'1,5 kilomètre, s'articule autour de deux îles principales. Au sud, le bourg et son église du 16e siècle et au nord des paysages qui évoquent l'Irlande.
Aga... quoi?
Hortensias, mimosas, mûriers, eucalyptus, aloès, camélias... le surnom de cette île n'est pas volé ! Mais parmi toutes, la fleur qui symbolise le plus cette île est l'agapanthe. De juin à septembre, vous verrez sa fleur bleu violacé s'épanouir au croisement de tous les chemins bréhatins. Une plante jadis ramenée d'Afrique du Sud par des marins. D'autres plantes exotiques telles que l'agave ou l'echium s'épanouissent ici. Et pour cause ! Le gel y est rarissime. Quant aux oiseaux, plus de 120 espèces sont recensées sur l'île. Au printemps, vous ne manquerez pas d'entendre les mésanges, pinsons, rouges-gorges, alouettes ou grives musiciennes.
Des envahisseurs !
Fortifiée au Moyen-Âge, l'île de Bréhat occupa longtemps une position stratégique. Lors de la guerre de Succession, puis de la Ligue, elle fut disputée entre Bretons, Français, Anglais et Espagnols. Son château, maintes fois rasé, fut finalement démantelé sous Henri IV. Aujourd'hui, seuls les touristes font passer chaque année sa population d'environ 400 à 2 000 personnes.

Découvrez le littoral de Trébeurden à Paimpol, entre côtes sauvages et escarpées, plages de sables blancs et les typiques ports de pêche des Côtes d’Armor :
Sans doute l'une des plus belles iles de France, "l'ile aux fleurs" est célèbre pour son charme authentique et unique. Après une courte traversée depuis Paimpol, passez une journée inoubliable à la découverte de cette île occupée en partie par un bourg typique aux ruelles escarpées, de l'autre par une nature préservée et diversifiée, jouissant d'un climat à la douceur quasi méditéranéenne !
A proximité du Village de Gîtes, la côte de Goelo possède l'une des iles les plus appréciées par les visiteurs : l'ile de Bréhat, surnommée "l'ile aux fleurs" car la douceur du climat océanique y est particulièrement propice au développement d'une foison de fleurs (agapanthes, hortensias, ...) et, plus généralement, de plantes et d'arbres dont certains, tropicaux, vous étonneront par leur acclimatation à la Bretagne !
On accède à l'ile depuis l'embarcadère proche de Paimpol (à 40 minutes du Village) : en saison, des bateaux assurent tous les quarts d'heure la liaison entre la côte et l'ile, distante d'à peine 2 kilomètres.
Vous pourrez prendre (en option) la possibilité de faire le tour de l'île, soit avant de débarquer, soit à une heure donnée : ce tour de l'île, d'environ 40 minutes, est commenté et permet de bien appréhender l'ile et d'apprécier sa beauté.
L'Ile de Bréhat est en fait séparée en deux parties :
Au sud, l'ile sur laquelle les habitats se sont développés, formant un petit bourg typique et parcouru de ruelles pittoresques ; c'est là que l'on débarque, au pied des premiers commerces, restaurants, crêperies et ... loueurs de vélos car, l'ile étant dépourvue de voitures, elle constitue une occasion idéale pour pédaler en famille ! Plus à l'écart, on découvrira la chapelle St Michel, surplombant l'ile depuis une étonnante colline arrondie ; un ancien "moulin à marée" (le Birlot), qui utilisait l'énergie des marées pour actionner sa meule ; ainsni qu'un ancien fort et prison, abritant aujourd'hui des verreries d'art célèbres dans le monde entier, que vous pourrez visiter.
Au nord, l'ile est sauvage : landes, rochers, et tout au bout de l'ile le phare du Paon, dressé face à l'immensité de la mer !
Notre conseil : partir assez tôt, en matinée, du Village afin d'être à l'embarcadère et faire la traversée vers 10 ou 11h ; ce qui vous laissera tout le temps pour faire le tour de l'ile, parcourir les ruelles, déjeuner ou pique-niquer, visiter les monuments et apprécier la douceur et la beauté exceptionnelle de l'ile ; enfin, en fin d'après-midi, de prendre le bateau du retour pour visiter, à votre rythme : Paimpol (port et anciennes maisons, abbaye de Beauport), puis Tréguier (centre ville historique, cathédrale, etc.) ou la Côte des Ajoncs (de Plougrescant à Perros-Guirec).
A quelques kilomètres du port de pêche de Paimpol, prenez la direction de Ploubazlanec… vous arrivez à la pointe de l’Arcouët et là… inéluctablement… la magie opère !
ET AU BOUT DE L'ARCOUEST... UNE ÎLE MAGIQUE !
Vous êtes transporté en quelques minutes de traversée sur l’île aux fleurs qui a banni les voitures pour donner à son patrimoine toute la possibilité de s’exprimer. L’archipel de Bréhat est constitué de l’île principale et 86 îlots et récifs voisins. Le 13 juillet 1907, Bréhat fut le 1er site naturel classé en France. Longue de 3,5 kilomètres et large d’1,5 kilomètre. Sur l’île : pas de voiture… c’est l’une des caractéristiques qui fera de votre visite de Bréhat, une parenthèse dépaysante.
LE PATRIMOINE DE L'ÎLE
En parcourant l’île à pied ou à vélo, vous découvrirez un patrimoine varié et riche qui constitue l’empreinte d’une histoire maritime mais également militaire qui marqua l’île dès le Moyen-Age.
Les phares des Héaux de Bréhat, du Paon, du Rosédo, de la Croix, le Port Clos, le Sémaphore, la chapelle Saint-Michel d’où l’on domine toute l’île mais également l’emblématique moulin à marée du Birlot qui comme son nom l’indique fonctionne au rythme des marées pour produire la farine. Aujourd’hui restauré, il accueille les visiteurs en saison pour des visites et pour assister à la mouture. Au temps jadis, il servait à moudre du froment, de l’orge et du blé noir pour fournir les bréhatins en farine.
Toute l’année, l’archipel profite de l’influence du Gulf Stream qui lui assure un microclimat particulièrement doux en hiver. Si l’île est bien souvent rebaptisée « l’île aux fleurs », ce n’est pas sans raison… de nombreuses variétés de fleurs colorent l’île : des plantes exotiques comme l’agave ou l’echium ; des fleurs comme l’hortensia, le mimosa, le mûrier, l’eucalyptus, l’aloes ou le camelia… mais la fleur qui symbolise le plus Bréhat est l’agapanthe qui fleurie d’avril à septembre et égaie les chemins de sa douce teinte de bleu-mauve.
TRÉSORS DE L'ÎLE
En 1998, Yves Neumager fonde les Verreries de Bréhat… pari fou de s’implanter sur cette île au large de Paimpol en s’imposant les contraintes de la vie insulaire ! Ce défi ne pouvait évidemment être relevé que par passion et ce qui a conduit également la petite entreprise artisanale à se développer et à séduire le monde du luxe grâce à ses poignées de porte, boules d’escalier, tête de robinets… L’atelier de fabrication est abrité par un fort sur l’île mais compte des revendeurs dans de nombreux pays et un showroom à Paris.
H. fulva 'Kwanso Variegata'
Daylily is the general nonscientific name of a species, hybrid or cultivar of the genus Hemerocallis. Daylily cultivar flowers are highly diverse in colour and form, as a result of hybridization efforts of gardening enthusiasts and professional horticulturalists. Thousands of registered cultivars are appreciated and studied by local and international Hemerocallis societies. Hemerocallis is now placed in family Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, and formerly was part of Liliaceae (which includes Lilium, True Lilies).
Daylilies are perennial plants. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful". This name alludes to the attractive flowers of this genus which typically last no more than 24 hours. The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.
Hemerocallis is native to Eurasia, including China, Korea, and Japan, and this genus is popular worldwide because of the showy flowers and hardiness of many kinds. There are over 60,000 registered cultivars. Hundreds of cultivars have fragrant flowers, and more scented cultivars are appearing more frequently in northern hybridization programs. Some cultivars rebloom later in the season, particularly if their capsules, in which seeds are developing, are removed.
Most kinds of Daylilies occur as clumps, each of which has leaves, a crown, flowers, and roots. The long, linear lanceolate leaves are grouped into opposite fans with arching leaves. The crown is the small white portion between the leaves and the roots. Along the scape of some kinds of daylilies, small leafy "proliferations" form at nodes or in bracts. A proliferation forms roots when planted and is often an exact clone of its parent plant. Many kinds of daylilies have thickened roots in which they store food and water.
A normal, single daylily flower has three petals and three sepals, collectively called tepals, each with a midrib in the same or in a contrasting color. The centermost part of the flower, called the throat, usually has a different color than more distal areas of its tepals. Each flower usually has six stamens, each with a two-lobed anther. After successful pollination, a flower forms a capsule (often erroneously called a pod).
The Fulvous Daylily, although a beautiful plant, is an unwanted alien, invasive weed in some parts of the United States, such as in Wisconsin (Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources). People sometimes plant the Fulvous Daylily and other rhizomatous daylilies, which have underground runners. These kinds can overrun one's garden, and can take an appreciable amount of time and effort to confine or remove.
Depending on the species and cultivar, daylilies grow in USDA plant hardiness zones 1 through 11, making daylilies some of the more adaptable landscape plants. Hybridizers have developed the vast majority of cultivars within the last 100 years. The large-flowered, bright yellow Hemerocallis 'Hyperion', introduced in the 1920s, heralded a return to gardens of the once-dismissed daylily, and is still widely available in the nursery trade. Daylily breeding has been a specialty in the United States, where daylily heat- and drought-resistance made them garden standbys since the 1950s. New cultivars have sold for thousands of dollars, but sturdy and prolific introductions sell at reasonable prices of $20 or less.
The Tawny Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva), and the sweet-scented Lemon-lily (H. lilioasphodelus; H. flava, old name)were early imports from England to 17th-century American gardens and soon escaped from gardens. The introduced Tawny Daylily is now common in many natural areas, and some people think that it is a native wildflower. Its nonscientific names include Railroad Daylily and Roadside Daylily and Outhouse Lily, Tiger Lily, and Wash-house Lily (although it is not a true lily). Some people have planted this species near outhouses and wash houses, hence two of its nonscientific names.
Hemerocallis is one of the very highly hybridized plant genera. Hybridizers register hundreds of new cultivars yearly. Hybridizers have extended the genus' color range from the yellow, orange, and pale pink of the species, to vibrant reds, purples, lavenders, greenish tones, near-black, near-white, and more. However, hybridizers have not yet been able to produce a daylily with primarily blue flowers in forms of blue such as azure blue, cobalt blue, and sky blue. Flowers of some cultivars have small areas of cobalt blue.
Other flower traits that hybridizers developed include height, scent, ruffled edges, contrasting "eyes" in the center of a bloom, and an illusion of glitter which is called "diamond dust." Sought-after improvements include foliage color and variegation and plant disease resistance and the ability to form large, neat clumps. Hybridizers also seek to make less-hardy plants hardier in Canada and the Northern United States by crossing evergreen and semi-evergreen plants with those that become dormant and by using other methods. Many kinds of daylilies form clumps of crowded shoots. People dig up such kinds every 3 or so years, separate shoots, and replant only some of the shoots to reduce crowding. This process increases the flowering of many cultivars.
In the last several decades, many hybridizers have focused on breeding tetraploid plants, which tend to have sturdier scapes and tepals than diploids and some flower-color traits that are not found in diploids. Until this trend took root, nearly all daylilies were diploid. "Tets," as they are called by aficionados, have 44 chromosomes, while triploids have 33 chromosomes and diploids have 22 chromosomes per individual plant. Hemerocallis fulva 'Europa', H. fulva 'Kwanso', H. fulva 'Kwanso Variegata', H. fulva 'Kwanso Kaempfer', H. fulva var. maculata, H. fulva var. angustifolia, and H. fulva 'Flore Pleno' are all triplods that almost never produce seeds and reproduce almost solely by underground runners (stolons) and dividing groups by gardeners. A polymerous daylily flower is one with more than three sepals and more than three petals. Although some people synonymize “polymerous” with “double,” some polymerous flowers have over five times the normal number of petals.

I used to follow this female photographer (on Flickr?) that had such cool abstracts of ice. She lived up on one of the Great Lakes so she got plenty of practice. But that was her thing. Beautiful images of ice bubbles, light through ice, rocks covered in ice. So here I am, searching all over a rock wall on the north side of Monte Sano for interesting bits covered in ice. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Before our friend, June Patience Jones died on the 4th May, we promised her to go down to the caravan to go and collect some of her belongings back to her as she was incapable to travel. Unfortunately, this wasn't to be the case. We decided that raising funds and giving them to a cancer charity would be the next best option. Therefore, we carried on as normal and in september, we hope to raise funds for a cancer charity in memory of her and her fave second home.
This is of zeon7 having a coffee whilst getting ideas on what to shoot next. I done this shot by placing the camera on the table I was sitting at and just hoping it would take a good picture. Kinda like a voyeuristic look at him.
Forming part of a COP26 Global Day of Action, Extinction Rebellion - who have worked with a puppet production company to create a giant, smoldering koala (name'd Blinky), representing the terror our animals are facing in the climate emergency - led a march through St Kilda's Catani Gardens. It was joined by the Red Rebel Brigade, as well as drummers and musicians.

In 1979, Derek Bishton, John Reardon and Brian Homer set up a self portrait 'studio' on the street outside their workplace in Handsworth. It was an experiment: the photographers surrendered control of the decisive moment and the ‘subjects’ took over and presented themselves to the camera in subtly different ways. The photographs became deeply influential for Bishton, Reardon and Homer, who went on to form Ten.8 magazine which focused extensively on issues of representation and power – and how people who had been oppressed by imagery could, literally and figuratively, put themselves in the frame.

With each passing week Key West Contemporary becomes a little more pleasing to my eye. Every year I go to the Orchid Show at the NYBG as often as possible. Each year I start out with fond memories of the previous year's showing and every year by the final day I claim that this year's show is the best ever.
Because this rock formation, from certain angles looks like a chair and because it is obviously formed of lava, it is called Pele's Chair since in Hawaiian Mythology, Pele is the goddess of the volcano. It is said that Pele, after forming the island of O'ahu, left the island from this spot to continue her volcanic island building on Molokai, Maui and eventually on to the island of Hawaii. But the Hawaiians also knew the formation as Kapaliokamoa, which means the cliff of the chicken because they saw in the cliff from other angles, the likeness of a squatting moa or jungle fowl, the Polynesian chicken. The modern name, Queen's Chair, probably comes from the fact that it overlooks Queen's beach.

They form strong, lasting pair bonds and it’s usual to see birds in pairs throughout the year. Females usually show dominance over the males, the original hen-pecked male then. A pose on a branch would have been better than next to the seeds, but I see those big brown eyes and then I realize that bird is gonna get her way.

Anish Kapoor in Pitzhanger Manor, optical tricks with mirrors and metal
Anish Kapoor
(March to August 2019)
Within the newly restored gallery, with its three circular skylights, Kapoor’s sculptures challenge our traditional notion of form and space by disorientating the viewer and transforming their surroundings.
These sculptures echo Soane’s complex use of mirrors and light and will enable visitors to Pitzhanger to see Soane’s architecture from a fresh perspective.
[Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery]
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.
