Sitting there in my back yard calling with very high pitch for minutes and minutes without further movement.
Whilst at the top the trail seemed good enough for vehicles, about half way down it wasn't!
This is about mid way between the summit and the track near Bow River, which led pass Cave Basin and the springs (visited next day) and into Banff.
Sitting in the carpark far side of Ballywalter this morning waiting for some nice reflections...when they were waiting for me the whole time near the carpark on the way into the town :)
Towering above the other monuments of Bagan, the magnificence in white which is the Thatbyinnyu takes its name from the Omniscience of the Buddha. Thatbyinnyutanyan in Myanmar language, Sabbannutanana in Pali, omniscience is given further explanation in contemporary inscriptions as "knowing thoroughly and seeing widely." Built by King Alaungsithu (1113-1163), the Thatbyinnyu is a transitional temple, standing between the Early Style of the Ananda, half a mile to the northeast, and the Late Style of the Gawdawpalin, half a mile to the northwest. It is one of the earliest double-storeyed temples, but the arrangement is different from that of later double-storeyed temples, much as if it were still an experiment in the new form. The plan of the Thatbyinnyu is not unlike that of the Ananda-square, with porticoes on all four sides-but the eastern portico projects further than the others, breaking the symmetry. This plan is followed in such later temples as the Sulamani and the Gawdawpalin.
Three receding terraces rise above each storey, ornamented with crenellated parapets and corner stupas. Above the terraces of the upper storey rises a curvilinear spire, surmounted by a slim, tapering stupa which takes the temple up to a height of 201 feet. The great height of the temple and the vertical lines of the ornamental features-the plain pilasters, the flame-like arch pediments, the corner stupas-give a soaring effect to the Thatbyinnyu.
A rare sun of late winter and an impromptu trip to Long Branch Farm. Using the light while I have it.
This abstract portrait is part of the "Transfiguration" series, where fragmented and distorted elements represent the transformation of the human spirit. The shattered effect over the face evokes an intense, emotional journey, symbolizing the breaking of illusions and a deeper look into one's inner self. The vibrant green background contrasts with the raw, textured layers of the portrait, further emphasizing the tension between chaos and renewal.
A further 266 deaths from COVID-19 have been reported yesterday. This brings the total number of deaths from the virus to 6,262. Just over half of COVID-19 deaths in Belgium have been in care homes. 263 new COVID-19 patients were admited to hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, 432 COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospital. There are currently 4,765 people receiving treatment for COVID-19 in Belgian hospitals. This is down around 20% on the peak of 6,012 patients that was recorded on 6 April. Yesterday’s biggest news were talks about the partially reopening of the schools as of 15 May and the proposal from the experts to relax the corona measure that leaked in advance of the government’s address next Friday. If the government follows the experts’ proposals a number of types of shop could reopen as early as 4 May, if certain conditions are met. Under the proposals visits to family and close friends could once again become possible. Groups would be limited to ten people tops and you would always have to visit the same people. Too me it seems that the latter is impossible to manage and/or control and therefore will create a lot of controversy. I guess we will need to wait until Friday to know more.

A different part of the old cement mine. There’s a noticeable difference in the water between this photo and those I shot the autumn before: The reflections are clear and sharp in the earlier ones but they sort of shimmer here, due to water dripping from the ceiling and a slight current in the pool.
Looking down on the Waterway / Towncenter area of The Woodlands. As well as further west to where most of the residential areas are.
CP ES44AC 8900 leads a lengthy CP eastbound at Newtonville Road, between Lovekin and Port Hope, with two DPUs further back in the train.
Further to the commentary on the large obnoxious crowds in Florence - I couldn't bring myself to cross the Ponte Vecchio for fear of hating every moment so here's a panoramic from afar.
Lots and lots of images stitched together to make this single panorama.

Commentary.
Like the Torridon peaks further south,
the monolithic Sutherland landscape
is made up of three key rocks:-
Lewisian Gneiss, Torridonian Sandstone and Cambrian Quartzite.
However, because of a series of violent mountain-building “thrusts,” and many faults and displacements, as well as igneous intrusion, and rocks being transformed, by heat and pressure, to Metamorphic rocks, the geology, here, is immensely complex.
The base rock, where many of the lochans are, is Lewisian Gneiss, 2-3 billion years old.
Above this is the bulk of Quinag, in the form of reddish-brown Torridonian Sandstone, over 500 million years old.
The peaks are capped by white crystalline Cambrian Quartzite, over 400 million years old.
Quinag has three main summits, all over 2,500 feet.
On its northern side, in the shelter of many foothills and
under the influence of a Maritime micro-climate, from the nearby coastal bay, remnants of ancient forests of Birch, Rowan, Wych Elm, Aspen and Oak can be found.
As with all Sutherland’s monolithic mountains, they seem higher than they are, because they rise from a low, hilly, loch-strewn hinterland.
Quinag resembles a grumpy Stegosaurus rising from its slumbers.
There is nowhere in Europe quite like it.
It is unique and quite fascinating.
Another world……
but a very peaceful and beautiful one.

Curiouser and Curiouser:
I wanted to create something dark yet playful. I love that twist of innocence and mischievousness, of Rabbit Women found in a twilight place where you could only be encouraged to go deeper into the woods....but only at your own peril.

Oh man, I only meant to make Robin and Black Mask, Ah well.
A continuation of my earlier post, Vintage Stylings, where I reimagined a large number of Batman characters as vintage-style minifigures. I'm not gonna go through parts, but I will list em off/talk about em.
Maxie Zeus: Made at the last second, and I'm not satisfied with the head, but admittedly I ran out of smiley faces.
KGBeast: Threw him in cause these figs give me a definite 70s/80s vibe, despite being skin-tone.
Black Mask: The only purist fig in the entire series.
Harley Quinn: Her collar is based on that of The Forestmen, and her torso is Harry Potter's bathing suit of Goblet of Fire with the lettering painted over.
Robin: Was originally going to have 2005's Burnt Anakin head and be Jason Todd, but I went with Grayson.
Bane: Not much to say, I think he looks fine.
Croc: Possibly my favorite, the idea of him having a molded head in one color was too good to pass up. Sanded down am extra Bossk head's little horns and painted away.
Special thanks to Biggus Brickus for prompting me to go through with making Harley, Bane, and Croc.
Cheers folks! and lemme know what you think!
When I drove further to the south through the eastern shore of the lake, the sky turned pitch black for me. The low sun shone just underneath and gave an enchanting view over the lake.

Hidden almost out of sight, just off the Huron Street bridge in downtown Stratford, Ontario lies the Shakespearean Gardens. This well manicured English garden offers a formal setting with boxwood hedges,stone walkways, benches and gazebo yet comes alive with the brilliant colour of an amazing array of flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees.
The views from the garden are just as impressive with the historic Perth County Courthouse to one side and the gently flowing Avon River on the other side. Stone steps and a pathway along the Avon River lead you underneath the old Huron Street bridge and towards the Shakespeare Festival.
Three more of the Town Hall, built in 1842 to replace its medieval predecessor. That was raised on stone columns (Ledbury still has a similar one, built above huge wooden columns), providing a dry and shady space below for business on market days. This is the imposing portico, set (as Pevsner observes) rather strangely on the other side. Maybe there was some merit in having it a little further away from the wagons and animals and stalls in the days when it was a thriving market.
We were informed by our guides that these two, were together for the past 8 months, since being driven off by their mother. It is very unusual for siblings to stay together like this for this long, but they had for over 8 months. This was the last time we saw them together as the female was not seen for the next few days. It is common , she will keep venturing further and further and than one day not return and they will go there own separate ways. Serengeti, Tanzania.
print in my collection, no further details known.
SER F class, built at Ashford entering service numbered 249 September 1897. SECR 249 in 1899. Rebuilt to class F1 April 1906. Became SR A249, later 1249, after the 1923 grouping. With drawn June 1944.
Looking northwest in Oregon, Illinois. No lightening here but to the right and further north there was some.
Further ramblings from a frustrated woman...😣💜💜💜
Enjoy my beautiful darling girls and Guys. 👄👄
I've always wanted to be a mature, curvaceous size 16 blonde woman... My dream had become to be true.❣️❣️❣️❣️ huge hips and ass.. just gorgeous.
The hike down and back was a little more strenuous than I expected (the fact that I was dealing with a head cold didn't help), but Crabtree Falls was worth the journey! I didn't lug my tripod with me, but luckily I was still able to capture some solid shots.
A further test of the enhance function in LR's Develope module, this time with an image taken with a 10Mp body.
A newer version of a shot originally taken with an old Rollei Automat on color transparency film. I rendered this one to appear as an old and cherished daguerreotype - thanks again, Dimity.
Later in the afternoon, we wandered further down the street and met this young couple. They too were somewhat shy, but they graciously allowed my friends and I to take a number of photos of them ...

In August 2015, I had the great pleasure of taking a week-long photography workshop in Rockport, Maine under the tutelage of Peter Turnley. Its main theme was street photography, and we made several visits to working-class neighborhoods in several Maine towns where (unbeknownst to me) there are large populations of working-class immigrants from Somalia, Sierra Leone, and various other countries around the world.
Most of our “field” exercises were carried out in pairs, threesomes, or foursomes; and in many cases, we were lucky enough to follow along behind Peter Turnley and watch his amazing style and techniques. The photos in this set were taken on such a field-exercise, in a working-class neighborhood of Portland, Maine.
