Rain or shine! The newspapers get delivered :)
It's been raining here non stop, but the sun has promised to come out tomorrow. With all this rain, I couldn't resist bringing my little bike to the puddles at the top of the driveway. The paper delivery is a bonus:)
But because of your sacrifice and bravery, we are still free

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
The "Brunello di Montalcino" controlled and guaranteed denomination of origin wine must undergo an aging period of at least four years and aged, for at least three years of this period, in oak containers of any size.
Which is the best vintage of Brunello?
Exceptional: absolutely the best vintages of Brunello di Montalcino. For those who love extreme flavors and investments, the top of Brunello di Montalcino is represented by the vintages of 2016, 2015, 2010, 2007, 2006, 2004, 1997, 1995, 1990, 1988, 1985, 1975, 1970, 1964, 1961 , 1955, 1945.
How long does Brunello di Montalcino keep?
It ranges from a minimum of 10 years up to 30, but it can be stored for even longer. Of course it must be stored in the right way: in a cool cellar, but above all at a constant, dark temperature, without noise or smells; the bottles kept lying down.
How long in advance should you open a bottle of Brunello?
To taste the Brunello di Montalcino wine at its best, it is advisable to open the bottle at least an hour before, indeed, it is advisable to open it up to several hours before in the case of wines that are aged for a long time or that have perhaps spent a long period in a cellar.
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees
They're singing with the dead
Overhead...

...there's a secure vaccine against Covid-19? I wish it would happen so soon. What definitely is guaranteed, though, is that from today it's 45 days until Christmas Eve :) And whether you celebrate or not, I'm sure that on everybody's wishlist is also a vaccine.
I had little – or rather no – other choice for "Puzzle" but this Ravensburger Christmas bauble jigsaw puzzle ball, because I don't own any other puzzles. I love to play Adventure games, and puzzles are a part of the gaming routine, but real life puzzles? Nil. So back to the bauble: It depicts a cosy forest Christmas scene with lots of snow, a starry blue hour sky, a Christmas tree (of course) and the forest animals – such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, birds – gathering around various feeders; in short it depicts almost everything that makes you go "Aaawwwww!" when you think of Christmas (please see the fourth comment to see the whole bauble) :) At first I really didn't know how to photograph this pretty puzzle ball in an interesting way. But then I thought "I puzzled it together, so I can also take it apart again, let's take a look inside." What looked like a fragile construction consisting of 60 parts (diameter of the ball: 7 cm / 2,7 inches, the small round parts which you can see here each have a diameter of 4 mm / 0,15 inches) proved to be very sturdy and definitely "take-apart-resistant", but in the end I succeeded to pull out one piece from the starry blue hour sky.
On the inside, the pieces are white, of course, but they are also numbered, and at first I thought I'd pick piece No 1, but then I remembered that I'd already shot numbers on a toy piece for "one Color", so I looked for a nice puzzle piece pattern instead and found this star. I secured the backlit puzzle ball between two large pieces of modeling clay to prevent it from rolling away (it had happened a few times in the beginning), and photographed directly through the hole where piece No. 60 had been; the shape of the vignette is the negatice space of missing piece No. 60.
The photo is a single 40 MP High-Res mode shot, and I had to do a lot of dusting and fuzz removal. Those dark spots, however, are part of the plastic pieces, so I didn't remove them all. Processed in Topaz DeNoise AI ("Low Light" mode at N: 7, S: 67, R: 3, CN 14), Luminar 4 (Detail enhancement – small at 79, medium at 41, large at 3), Viveza and Analog Efex.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and take care!
Noch 45 Tage bis... zu einem sicheren Covid-19-Impfstoff für alle? Schön wär's. Was wir aber alle ganz sicher in 45 Tagen feiern werden: richtig, Heiligabend :) Und ein sicherer Impfstoff dürfte auch auf jedermanns und jederfraus Wunschzettel stehen. Warum aber dieser Schlenker zu Weihnachten, wenn das Thema doch "Puzzle" ist? Weil das einzige "richtige" Puzzle, das ich im Haus habe, ein Ravensburger "Christmas Puzzle Ball" ist. Bestehend aus 60 erstaunlich fest zusammenhaltenden Puzzleteilen.
Zuerst wusste ich nicht recht, wie ich ihn ansprechend fotografieren sollte; von außen ist er nett anzuschauen, zeigt eine Weihnachtswaldszene mit viel Schnee, einem Sternenhimmel, natürlich einer geschmückten Tanne und vielen Tieren, darunter Rotwild, Eichhörnchen, Hasen und vielen Vögeln, die sich an diversen Futterkrippen zum Weihnachtsschmaus eingefunden haben. So weit, so hübsch. Aber ob das ein spannendes Foto ergeben würde? Also dachte ich mir, ich entferne mal eines der Puzzleteile und schaue hinein. Die Rückseite der Puzzleteile ist weiß und jedes trägt eine Nummer. Zunächst habe ich auch auf die Nummern fokussiert, genauer auf Teil Nr. 1, aber dann fiel mir wieder ein, dass ich bereits für "one Colour" vor zwei Wochen die winzigen Nummern auf einem Spielzeugteil fotografiert hatte. Deshalb habe ich dann nach einem interessanten Puzzlemuster Ausschau gehalten – und fand diesen Stern.
Von hinten beleuchtet (und die Kugel mit zwei Stücken Bastelknete fixiert, weil sie anfangs immer wegrollte) und direkt durch das Loch, das Puzzleteil Nr. 60 hinterlassen hat, hindurchfotografiert. Die Ränder der Vignette sind also der negative Raum des fehlenden Puzzleteilchens. Ich musste ganz schön viele Fussel in PS entfernen; die dunklen Pünktchen sind aber in den Plastikteilchen drin, also habe ich nicht alle von ihnen weggestempelt. Entwickelt in Topaz DeNoise AI ("Low Light" Modus, N: 7, S: 67, R: 3, CN 14), Luminar 4 (Detailverbesserung, klein: 79, mittel: 41, groß 3), Viveza und Analog Efex.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, bleibt gesund!
I can guarantee you'll never see this image at the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. No glossy parks or well tended buildings here--only the grime and grit, courtesy of decades of everyday use and abuse.

You can always guarantee when you visit a city for the first time, there will always be plenty of public works. I like to seek them out, where ever possible. I’m amazed at the quantity, the scale, the quality and sometimes, just the sheer irresponsibility of corporate bodies in their quest to spend our money. How did the 10cc put it? “Art for Arts’ sake”. However mostly I like what I see, hope you do too.
As you will see all of the images in this posting come from Rome. What a beautiful City.

Mystery surrounds me, and I wonder where I'm going
There's a cloud above me and it seems to hide the way
I'm going straight ahead, 'cause it's the only way I know
I want to leave the past, and leave just for today
Now then tell me baby, do you need my love?
Tell me baby, are you thinking of me?
Tell me baby, what it is you need?
What kind of satisfaction guaranteed?

Provided that survival is guaranteed, almost all of us are instinctively drawn to the path of least resistance. However, although expedient in the moment, this option almost always leads to decline and atrophy; it points in the opposite direction of your dreams and ambitions. So, to lead the life you wish to live, you must learn to embrace challenges and fight the urge to walk these regressive paths. {thekaizeneffect.com}
Humans are hard-wired to follow the path of least resistance
The amount of effort required to do something influences what we think we see, finds a new study, suggesting we're biased towards perceiving anything challenging to be less appealing. {dailyscience.com}
My comment:
We're on a slippery slope once we make it a habit to follow the line of least resistance: life is an endless uphill battle till the end of our journey on this earth -“One thing is absolutely certain, namely, that victory will never be found by taking the line of least resistance.” Winston Churchill
Guaranteed headache from any of them, personally I steer clear of the flavoured gins. Give me a good old Seagrams gin, slice of lime or cucumber, heaps of ice and a decent tonic…and don’t add any of those fashionable ‘botanical’ extras TVM.
Sheet lead, lead pipes. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 at F8. It probably means to state the obvious, but let me say it nevertheless: social inequality in my country, the UK, is not just 'happening', it is not 'an accident'. It is actually organised and systemic and institutional. It has been introduced by man. It is not a product of nature.
Etosha National Park is unique in Africa. The park’s main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Yet there is abundant wildlife that congregates around the waterholes, giving you almost guaranteed game sightings. At the same time Etosha National Park is one of the most accessible game reserves in Namibia and Southern Africa.
In heaven (‘ in our native land’, as Aquinas always puts it), there will be the entirely satisfactory ‘sense of an object’, there will be light; but meanwhile, the only guarantee that it is God who is present to the self is that nothing else in particular is so present, and that no consistent set of words or ideas (about God or anything else) is at work. It is a darkness in which the only significant human act is the will’s movement of desire–the bare readiness to abide in hope and longing in the darkness, to be content with nothing else because anything else would be less than God.

The ‘bells are calling……There are few sights guaranteed to make the heart sing more sweetly than a vibrant blanket of bluebells stretching across a woodland floor. It is a sure sign that spring has truly arrived..Regularly voted England’s favourite wild flower, bluebells thrive particularly well in woodlands, and the ancient areas of England Forest are no exception. Flowering in mid-April to late May (dependent on weather conditions), they make the most of the sunlight that reaches the woodland floor before the full forest canopy casts its shade. Millions of bulbs may grow closely together in one parcel of woodland, creating a stunning display

Testing a recently serviced Kodak Signet 35.
This is a surprisingly good little camera! I'm often pleasantly surprised by the quality of images it delivers. The Ektar f3.5 lens is a Tessar, so sharpness is pretty much guaranteed.

Chevron Gas Station in Ghost Town of Nelson, Nevada
Located in southern end of Nevada, in El Dorado Canyon in Clark County, Nevada.
The area known as Nelson was originally called Eldorado in 1775, by the original discoveries of gold in the area that is now Eldorado Canyon. The town was the site of one of the first major gold strikes in Nevada and one of the biggest mining booms in state history. Gold and silver were discovered here around 1859. The rush to the canyon began in 1861.
The community called Nelson was named for Charles Nelson, a camp leader.
Last shot (for now) of the Northern Harrier. It was being mobbed by Red-winged Blackbirds, sometimes being harassed by three or four simultaneously while patrolling its (presumed) breeding territory. Such is the life of a raptor.
I made this shot while hiking a trail in Grasslands - at this point the Grey Ghost had not yet singled me out as a threat and begun its threat maneuvers (dive bombing me, as documented in my two previous posts). I'm pretty happy with it. These aerial encounters happen fast and even shooting in burst mode there is no guarantee of getting both subjects on the same focal plane and in a pleasing configuration.
Two or three more species left in the current set, then on to something else...

I bought this today in the supermarket for £3, it says on the wrapper that it is guaranteed to last for the festive season, not a chance, I’ll have this beauty dead before Christmas Eve. What do some people do with these plants to make them last until Easter ? It’s only been in the house two hours and one red leaf is off already !!
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I started going over to Bayview early on weekdays, before I started my work day, sometime in June when days were at their peak length. I was aided in this quest by the fact that my son was getting up at 0500 to go to his summer job. Getting up at 0500 and getting out of the house and over to Bayview before 0600 would get me there just as the sun was beginning to light the area. Arriving at that time guaranteed me four eastbound GO trains out of Hamilton and whatever freights CN ran. On this day CN waited until the somewhat muted sun was up high enough in the sky to make a difference before they ran a #274 off the Dundas Sub. These autorack trains often run with a single unit so it was a bonus to get a pair of SD75Is on the point.
Excerpt from www.discoverhongkong.com/ca/explore/discover-sha-tau-kok....:
Located in Hong Kong’s North District and right next to Shenzhen’s Yantian District, Sha Tau Kok was designated as part of the Frontier Closed Area in 1951. Since then, Sha Tau Kok has been accessible only to individuals with a closed area permit. Back in the days when Sha Tau Kok was closed to non-residents, visiting the border town also required a guarantee from a local resident. As it begins to open gradually, Sha Tau Kok has become a great choice for weekend getaways.
The first phase of the opening of Sha Tau Kok began in June 2022, followed by the second phase starting January 2024. Visitors can board a kaito ferry to explore Sha Tau Kok and enjoy the area’s beautiful scenery, unique attractions and local delicacies, either independently or through local tours. You can also take a ferry to nearby islands and areas, such as Lai Chi Wo, Kat O, Ap Chau and Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.
The opening of Sha Tau Kok
•The daily quota of visitors with the Tourism Closed Area Permit is set at 2,300 individuals, and 700 group visitors on weekends and public holidays. There is no quota limit for groups on weekdays.
•Individual travellers must enter Sha Tau Kok by public transport, with the addition of ferry services to Sha Tau Kok from Lai Chi Wo/Ap Chau/Kat O. Private cars are NOT allowed.
•Area: Sha Tau Kok (excluding Chung Ying Street).
•Opening hours: Every day from 7am to 9pm.
