This bronze statue of King George IV is on an island in the middle of the A23 in Brighton, adjacent to The Royal Pavilion. The statue and it's coloumn are not floodlit and are in complete darkness at night. I used the Canon's built-in flash to illuminate it and I was surprised it worked so well.
Handheld with flash.

This is a tribute to my dog. We grew up together and now he is incredibly old. For some really weird reason this shot reminds me of St George and the dragon. I admit it, the resemblance is dismally faint. But he deserves to be on my stream! :D ehhehe che silly!

Patrick George Hentgen (b: November 13, 1968 in Detroit, Michigan) was a right-handed starting pitcher in the major leagues and a Cy Young Award winner in 1996. Hentgen is currently working in the Toronto Blue Jays' organization.
He was drafted in the 5th round of the 1986 free agent draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. He made his debut in 1991 and played a large part in their World Series championship in 1993, winning 19 games in the regular season. His best year, however, came in 1996 when he went 20–10 with a 3.22 ERA and 177 strikeouts to win the American League Cy Young Award, barely beating New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte. Hentgen was an American League All-Star in 1993, 1994, and 1997.
Hentgen was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1999 and played for the Baltimore Orioles from 2001 to 2003. He had Tommy John surgery in 2001.
On November 18, 2003, Hentgen returned to the Blue Jays on a one-year free agent deal worth $2.2 million. However, he was unable to regain the consistency that had made him successful in the mid-90s, and on July 24, 2004, he announced his retirement from baseball.
Career statistics:
Win–loss record 131–112
ERA - 4.32
Strikeouts - 1,290
George was ready for his close-up this morning :) I still had my 100mm lens on from last night and I just couldn't resist his sweet face!

George and Svetlana
George and Svetlana I have to confess that it was the "Anastasia" agency that brought me luck and happiness, after an endless long-term quest with the many agencies of Moscow. Maybe it was just serendipity, and maybe it was the popularity of the Russian-American "Anastasia" agency, gained by its stable work, that determined my life. One way or another, it was the "Anastasia" Web site where my future husband saw my photo. This is how our story began.
A person with serious intentions and sincere feelings could well be distinguished among many men, with whom the Russian women in search of an overseas husband have to communicate. Just a month after our correspondence started, I had a huge bouquet of roses and a bottle of champagne delivered to my apartment - right before New Year.
Svetlana Then we met in Moscow - a week spent together, a rich cultural program, a diamond ring, a hard parting. All the time that we spent waiting for a visa to finally get together, he was taking care of me. He would send gifts, baskets of fruit and money almost every month. Not that he is rich; he is not, really, he is just a kind and a loving man.
While he was waiting for me to arrive, he began building a house for the two of us. After a sequence of difficulties and delays with getting the visa, in February 2003 I boarded a plane to the state of New Hampshire, where he lived. The house was being finished; it stood in the middle of a beautiful forest like a tower from a fairy-tale.
On the eve of my birthday we moved there. For me it was a fantastic present: waking up on the morning of my birthday in my new home. For several months after the construction workers left, we worked hard at our house, but this joint labor only united us.
A happy love story My husband fulfilled every promise he made before we got together. He bought me a car that I mastered during the nearest summer and fall; in summer we went on a road trip to the most beautiful spots of America. He did everything for me so that I would feel comfortable and confident. I established a good relationship with his grown-up children easily and quickly, and I feel he also deserves the credit for it.
After a year of living in America, I grew to love the country and the place where we lived. The nature and the climate here are very similar to Russia, but it is generally cleaner and there are more sunny days. The people are very friendly and cordial.
In a year, my husband George became the dearest and the closest person for me. He is intelligent and kind; he knows a lot and has a lot of skills, too. I have never seen him in a bad mood. As I improve my English, I find it more and more interesting to communicate with him. We have a lot in common, which makes us very happy. Our lives are dedicated to each other. Each is trying to make the other happy - this is what every woman is dreaming of.
With respect and deep gratitude,
Svetlana G. Bolles
In 1979, to celebrate 150 years of bus operation in London, there was a rally in Hyde Park - preceding it was a road run from London Wall following most of the original route of 1829, along the 'New Road' via Islington Angel and Kings Cross to Paddington. This was followed by a small fleet of horse buses!
Passing Kings Cross - 'garden seat' bus leading and a 'knifeboard' bus following.

Today I finished the faceup of my Dreaming El head, which was waiting since last Christmas for some colour!
His look is inspired from the early 80's New Romantic / Blitz Kids scene (like Boy George used to look before he got popular ^^).

Photos in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020. Most businesses along Hennepin Ave (including my office) were boarded up to prevent damage from subsequent rioting. Many of the plywood panels became canvasses for art as the week went along.

Uptown. Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Love the nteen degrees of freedom in the George Gorton Pentagraph router head. I spent a few hours last night loving on this guy. I took off a few years worth of grime, oiled everything that moves, worked the slides and lubed the zerks. I'm looking forward to seeing him in action.
During the summer of 1787, it was decided that the Articles of Confederation was not serving its main purpose of defining the abilities of the government and the people. The country needed a more detailed guideline for the government and a newer set of rules for people to follow. The United States Constitution was written and reviewed by congress. It was then signed and became the new constitution for the country throwing out the Articles of Confederation. Congress was presided over by future President and Commander and Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, George Washington.
This chair was the chair that George Washington sat in during that summer when he presided over congress., It is located inside the Signers Room in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa.
North Country families serving with the Colours include the following: Mrs. G. Henderson, Silksworth: 2 sons.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 5th of May 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images or have any stories or information to add please comment below.
