The Grote Markt ("Great Market Square") of Antwerp is a town square situated in the heart of the old city quarter. It is filled with an extravagant city hall, numerous elaborate 16th century guildhalls, many restaurants and cafés. Lying within walking distance of the Scheldt river, it hosts a Christmas market and ice rink in winter.
The City Hall (Dutch: Stadhuis of Antwerp), stands on the western side of Antwerp's Grote Markt ("Great Market Square").
Erected between 1561 and 1565 after designs made by Cornelis Floris de Vriendt and several other architects and artists, this Renaissance building incorporates both Flemish and Italian influences. The Stadhuis is listed as one of the Belfries of Belgium and France, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Parliament Hill - West Block is a highly picturesque, building of Nepean sandstone, mansard copper roofs, iron cresting, and Gothic detailing. Facing the centre lawn of Parliament Hill, the present building incorporates two extensions. A distinguishing feature is the tall Mackenzie tower. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building. Canadian Heritage Status ~ 1865
"American Goldfinches breed later than most North American birds. They wait to nest until June or July when milkweed, thistle, and other plants have produced their fibrous seeds, which goldfinches incorporate into their nests and also feed their young."

L to R - Firestorm, Batman, Green Arrow, and Red hood.
Firestorm - Never finished my LoT Firestorm minifigure. Decided to not finish it and just incorporate it into my own figure... which is pretty much just different legs...
Batman - Just redid the battle damage effect.
Green Arrow - Gave him his classic Robin hood hat.
Red hood - just my old figure with a new head.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a green day at Color my World Daily and a running /laundry folding day at my house. So why not celebrating with a green picture ?
And since I got all those new props from China why not try to incorporate them in my green picture ? So here it is : my vintage green book for a good read, a tiny reading lamp in case it is too dark (or you are just at this point in your life when you need extra lamp for reading…) and a tiny green house in case it is raining and you have to go inside in order to read your book…I hope you will like my picture !!
I have to run before folding my laundry and before all my motivation disappear !! See you later !!
Sorry for not answering my comments and not commenting your pictures as much as I should… I will try to catch up as soon as possible !! Until then, stay well and safe my friends !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Mullaghcleevaun in the Wicklow mountains rises to 853m and has the beautiful "corrie" lake, Cleevaun Lough, on its n/e slope. It can be reached from the R115, Military Road and by crossing over 2 other mountains, Carrickshouk and Stony Hill to get there. Its a very beautiful though a wild and desolate place which probably attracts the madness in me. All the best people are slightly mad anyway or so they say here! The army do some training in this place from time to time but of course they incorporate about 3 other mountains as well. Good luck to them!
Ive climbed it a few times but have often turned back because of bad weather and I did get a bit lost once.
Hope you like it. Im struggling to catch up at the moment as Ive been cycling in NI.Ill get to all of you eventually!
Best wishes my friends. Thanks for Faves n Comments.

Bujaruelo, Sobrarbe, Aragón, España.
El valle de Bujaruelo es un valle del Pirineo aragonés, en la provincia de Huesca (España) lindante con el Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, justo al noroeste del valle de Ordesa, y donde nace el río Ara, del que forma parte como zona periférica de protección. A pesar de su extraordinario valor natural y de los varios intentos llevados a cabo, intereses urbanísticos, turísticos y ganaderos han evitado su incorporación al mencionado Parque aún a pesar de ser limítrofe con él. Sin embargo sí que forma parte del lugar de importancia comunitaria Bujaruelo - Garganta de Los Navarros.
The Bujaruelo Valley is a valley in the Aragonese Pyrenees, in the province of Huesca (Spain) bordering the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, just to the northwest of the Ordesa Valley, and where the Ara river is born, of which it forms part as peripheral protection zone. Despite its extraordinary natural value and the various attempts carried out, urban, tourist and livestock interests have avoided its incorporation into the aforementioned Park even despite being bordering it. However, it is part of the place of community importance Bujaruelo - Garganta de Los Navarros.
Aegina island, Saronic gulf, Attica, Greece.
The Beautiful Church, a wonderful Byzantine church dedicated to the Saints Theodoroi, is an aisleless barrel-vaulted church made of large dressed square blocks of poros stones of uniform size. The podium around the building, the dressed masonry, and the simple but unusual two-light window in the sanctuary, show that the church was built in the late twelfth century, just before the Frankish conquest.
The inscription carved in a poros block in the west façade refers to the fact that a renovation of the church took place in 1289. The inscription refers to the Byzantine emperor Andronikos 1 even though at this time the island was under Latin rule. The interior of the church is lavishly decorated with wall paintings. It is worth noting that here in the Nativity above the vault is one of the very few depictions of the Panaghia Galaktotrophousa (the Virgin Breastfeeding) in Byzantine art, this is set in a cave, the edges of which incorporate birds eyes.
Church on the Spilled Blood, St Petersburg Russia
This is St Petersburg's most elaborate church, with a classic Russian Orthodox exterior and interior decorated with some 7000 sq meters of mosaics. Designed by architect AA Parland and the archimandrite Ignaty, the church incorporates elements of 18th-century Russian architecture from Moscow and Yaroslavl, and is so lavish it took 24 years to build and went over budget by 1 million roubles - en enormous sum for the times.
The church incorporates in its chancel arch masonry dating from c.1200. To this early building a south aisle and south chapel were added in the earlier 13th century; the chancel may also have been lengthened at this time. By the early 19th century a south porch and west tower, constructed of timber, had been added. Restoration of the church took place in 1854-5 under the direction of T.H. Wyatt, when the external walls were rebuilt. In 1933 the south chapel was extended eastwards and an aisle was added to the northern side of the church.
St. Andrew's Church was a chapelry within Downton ecclesiastical parish until 1915 when it was annexed to Odstock parish. Arguments by the inhabitants of Nunton and Bodenham that the church should be detached from Downton parish had arisen since the latter half of the 16th century; at numerous points in the 17th to 19th centuries the scarcity of services was noted.
In 1553 there were three bells, which remain in the church today. Parish registers date from 1672; baptism registers from this date to 1906 are held at the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham, as are marriage registers from 2000, with a brief gap between 1764 and 1759. Burial registers held at the Centre date from 1672 to 1965. Later registers than those cited here remain with the church.
This is different than what I would normally go for look wise, but thought it would be fun to try incorporating the scorpion parts~

Washington (State)--Point Roberts
Well over a hundred years ago, this would have been a busy fishing port.
Today, we can only imagine the sights of the heavily loaded fishing vessels tied up alongside this pier, and the hardworking employees bustling the catch of the day, up and down the pier.
On the horizon you will have left USA waters and entered Canadian waters, BC Canada

Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281. Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.
Point Roberts was created when the United Kingdom and the United States settled the Pacific Northwest American-Canadian border dispute in the mid-19th century with the Oregon Treaty. Both parties agreed the 49th parallel would delineate both countries' territories, but they overlooked the small area that incorporates Point Roberts (south of the 49th parallel). Questions about ceding the territory to the United Kingdom and later to Canada have been raised since its creation but its status has remained unchanged.

Loch Faskally (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Faschoille) is a man-made reservoir in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) northwest of Pitlochry.
The loch lies between steeply wooded hills and is approximately 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) in length, narrowing to around 700 metres (770 yd) wide. The loch is retained by the Pitlochry Dam which was built by Wimpey Construction between 1947 and 1950 as part of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Tummel Hydro-Electric Power Scheme. The dam incorporates a salmon fish ladder, allowing around 5,400 salmon to ascend annually, and is a popular visitor attraction.
The loch is popular with anglers. The water holds a good head of brown trout and the native fish are augmented by a stocking in the 1-5lb range. A 7-pounder was recorded in 2001. Salmon and a few sea trout pass through as they head up the Tummel and Garry systems. 54 salmon were caught in 2001 the best being a fish of 14 ½ lbs, however fish to 28lbs have also been caught. June also sees the arrival of the summer grilse.
There are also good numbers of small pike with a few larger specimens mixed in. The best recorded pike have been over 30lb.
I wanted to incorporate some bokeh so used my collection of pastel glitter pushpins for the background. I had some difficulty in creating nice rounded oil drops. I must have been doing something wrong. Hope you like it.
Happy MM to all my Flickr friends! :-)
Trans World Flight Center, the original terminal building, or head house, operated as TWA main terminal from 1962 to 2001.
Designed for Trans World Airlines by Eero Saarinen and Associates, with inputs by Howard Hughes. Design incorporates elements of the Futurist, Neo-futurist, and Fantastic architectural styles. It featured a prominent wing shaped thin shell roof supported by four Y-shaped piers. Inside an open three-level space with tall windows enabling views of departing and arriving jets. Two tube-shaped red-carpeted departure-arrival corridors extended outward, connecting to the gates.
Saarinen described the head house form as being like the Leonardo da Vinci flying machine, from Howard Hughes vision of what he wanted. I want to say the two hit it right on..

The 10m (33ft) structure of a female form overlooks the A80 at Cumbernauld.
The artwork was created by artist Andy Scott and named Arria after Arria Fadilla, the mother of Emperor Antoninus.
It was selected following a competition asking locals to suggest a title for its new resident.
Mr Scott has produced several notable public artworks in Scotland, including the M8 Heavy Horse and Falkirk Helix Water Kelpies.
Part of the Cumbernauld Positive Image Project, the sculpture incorporates two large swooping arcs, inspired by the original name for Cumbernauld, "comar nan allt", which means "coming together of waters" in Gaelic.
Its proximity to the motorway means more than 70,000 commuters will see the sculpture every day.
Work to erect the statue began on Tuesday morning took most of the day to complete.
Councillor Gerry McElroy, chairman of the company set up to facilitate the redevelopment of Cumbernauld, said: "After almost a year of waiting she is now complete and looks fantastic.
"We're all really looking forward to driving by her on the main road that bisects Cumbernauld and hope that she becomes an iconic landmark for the town."
Canterbury is a cathedral city southeast of London.
Canterbury is surrounded by ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, and they encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses.
Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D. and pictured in the background, is the headquarters of the Church of England. It incorporates Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows.
Willow Warbler - Phylloscopus trochilus
Taken on local walks (Kenfig area)
It is a bird of open woodlands with trees and ground cover for nesting, including most importantly birch, alder, and willow habitats. The nest is usually built in close contact with the ground, often in low vegetation. Like most Old World warblers (Sylviidae), this small passerine is insectivorous. In northern Europe, it is one of the first warblers to return in the spring though is later than the closely related chiffchaff.
It is a typical leaf warbler in appearance, 11–12.5 cm long and 7–15 g weight. It is greenish brown above and off-white to yellowish below; the wings are plain greenish-brown with no wingbars. Juveniles are yellower below than adults. It is very similar to the chiffchaff, but non-singing birds can be distinguished from that species by their paler pinkish-yellow legs (dark brown to blackish in chiffchaff), longer paler bill, more elegant shape and longer primary projection (wingtip). Its song is a simple repetitive descending whistle, while the contact call is a disyllabic 'hoo-eet', distinct from the more monosyllabic 'hweet' of chiffchaffs.
Willow warblers prefer young, open, scrubby woodland with small trees, including human-altered habitats such as coppice and young plantations up to 10–20 years old. High amounts of birch, alder and willow, with good lichen amounts, and water features (e.g. streams), fields with large amounts of bracken and mosses, and patches of low bramble (for nest cover) are preferred, but it will use a wide range of other species, including young or open coniferous forests. Incorporating woodland ride edge thickets is beneficial, as is 15 metre woodland edges of varying structure and height. They prefer damp woodland areas. Thicket forming shrubs like blackthorn provide pockets of habitat. Deer browsing can degrade the required low cover.
(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ WELCOME TO TIBOOBURRA POSTCARD ♥
I really wanted to get an image of these iconic granite boulder piles set in the surreal landscape around Tibooburra in the far north-west corner of NSW. Of course, I wanted to incorporate a reptile in frame as well, and after a bit of a scout I came up trumps with exactly what I had envisioned. It was a beautiful afternoon and I waited a while until the light was right. I had this gorgeous Gidgee Skink (Egernia stokesii) set amongst an aesthetically pleasing rock pile. I hope you enjoy the result as much as I do. I'll never forget looking at this marvellous skink through the viewfinder and I can now repeat that bliss whenever I want to reminisce. You don't get any more rich than that.

I had to incorporate a visit to Swaziland during my first trip to South Africa. It is a small country that also borders Mozambique. The government is described as a diarchy as it is is ruled by a Queen and a King. The King has recently changed the name of his country, but there is some question whether is official ore not, so I will just use the more familiar name.
Yes, my patient South African guide waited in line for perhaps the 100th time for a traveller, who wanted their passport stamped by the Swaziland officials. We stayed for a night at a charming lodge where all of the guests sat around an open fire and chatted.
In looking back, this shot of Steenbok in the open savanna, symbolizes how fragile nature and our world really are.
Culzean Castle was constructed as an L-plan castle by order of the 10th Earl of Cassilis. He instructed the architect Robert Adam to rebuild a previous, but more basic, structure into a fine country house to be the seat of his earldom. The castle was built in stages between 1777 and 1792. It incorporates a large drum tower with a circular saloon inside (which overlooks the sea), a grand oval staircase and a suite of well-appointed apartments.
Kinkaku-ji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.
The Golden Pavilion incorporates three different architectural styles for each floor. The first floor is evocative of the Shinden palace style which uses natural, unpainted wood and white plaster. The second floor is built in the style of samurai with sliding wood doors and latticed windows. The third floor is built in traditional Chinese Chan/Zen style. It brings a religious ambiance to the pavilion as it houses relics of the Buddha.
The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf. On an agreeable sunny day, the pavilion is full of shimmer and shine.
I went to a forest called "Rude Skov" - yes, the name is weird in English but I assure you that it is not rude ;)
I had all my gear with me but decided only to shoot handheld and to do so in manual mode, so no help from anything but the meter inside the view finder; it was so much fun and actually not that hard. Going manual gave me a sort of peace of mind, knowing how the camera was set and that the shutterspeed or aperture wouldn't change unless I wanted them to. I really encourage you to try manual mode for landscape if you haven't already.
The shots are basically of the same subject around a small lake in the forest but with variations in perspective and composition. Hopefully it's not too boring to look at.
Here's to experimentation! I plan to do a lot more of that in the near future.
Thanks again to Adam and his Landscape Masterclass at First Man Photography - without that I really wouldn't have considered going manual and not even gotten the shot because going through that masterclass has made me rethink how I shoot landscapes. I am still learning; I still struggle when looking for interesting subjects and also the composition. Also, ISO, aperture and shutterspeed is something I still need to incorporate into my workflow for each shot because I tend to forget checking and setting them. Heh.
When you see the beach so deserted this time of year, it's hard to imagine it being overrun with people on summer weekends.
In this image, I'm trying to incorporate the patters of wind driven sand and snow into a composition.
The unique design of the Oval Plaza, also called the Oval Forum, cleverly connects two divergent main axes of the ancient city. The much older Sanctuary of Zeus faces northeast toward the original settlement core of Gerasa on the opposite hill (where the museum stands today). When, at the turn of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, the new Cardo was laid out as the city's north-south connection and main street, it had to incorporate the central Sanctuary of Zeus in a representative way, which was not possible through a frontal approach because of the river valley and the rules of Roman urban planning with a rectangular street network.
Santa Monica Pier and ride the landmark Ferris wheel over the Pacific—the world’s only solar-powered Ferris wheel at the West Coast’s only waterfront family amusement park! The historic tradition of amusements and thrill rides at the Pier that started in 1916 continues today in beautiful Pacific Park, and with your pass you can enjoy unlimited entertainment on 12 different rides.
The Pacific Wheel, erected in 1996, was the world’s first and only solar powered ferris wheel making cameo appearances in many Hollywood films including A Night at the Roxbury, Titanic, and Thank You for Smoking. The old wheel, has been auctioned off on eBay for over $130,000 dollars. The lucky recycler was Oklahoma City real-estate developer, Grant Humphreys. In time, Humphreys plans to incorporate the wheel into a mixed use residential community.
The Pacific Ferris Wheel at the Santa Monica Pier in California took her last spin on May 5th of 2008 before crews dismantled the sun-faded behemoth piece by piece to make way for a shiny new wheel. And shiny it is, boasting 160,000 LED lights that will bring glittering visual performances to Santa Monica’s evening sky. The solar panels used for the old wheel will remain at the pier, providing clean energy for the 90-foot ride and its 800 passengers per hour.

Currently the largest mosque in Turkey, the Grand Çamlıca Mosque (Turkish pronunciation: [tʃamlɯdʒa]) (Turkish: Büyük Çamlıca Camii) is a complex for Islamic worship which was completed and opened on 7 March 2019. The mosque stands astride Çamlıca Hill in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul and is visible from much of the centre of the city. The complex incorporates an art gallery, library, and conference hall. It can hold up to 63,000 worshippers at a time (can accommodate up to 100,000 people in case of an earthquake).
The cost of the mosque was US$110 million (approx. 550 million Turkish liras at the time). Planning for the Çamlıca Mosque began in the year 2000 and was led by two female architects, Bahar Mızrak and Hayriye Gül Totu. Their design won second prize in a competition to come up with something suitable.
The mosque was officially inaugurated on 3 May 2019 by the current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Several world leaders were present at the ceremony including Senegalese President Macky Sall, Guinean President Alpha Conde, Albanian president Ilir Meta, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and other foreign dignitaries.
Çamlıca Mosque was only the third mosque in Turkey to have six minarets, after the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque in Istanbul and the Sabancı Merkez Mosque in Adana.
In 2022 work was under way to add a spur to the M5 Metro line from Üsküdar to include a stop at the Çamlıca Mosque.

I spent some time this morning enjoying my local Crossbills. They were still in a large flock but the warm weather made them sing. The song incorporates some of the "jip, jip" flight calls but also has some twangy trills and soft twitters. Have a listen to this one recorded in Northumberland by Simon Elliott: www.xeno-canto.org/602361 . I also saw pairs courtship feeding and mating. They are one of the earliest nesting species and are sometimes on eggs in February. They were largely feeding on the cones of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) which are supposedly a little tough for Crossbills to cope with. But they didn't seem to be having much trouble. I even saw Siskins feeding alongside on Scots Pine cones. This one is an adult male, I'm guessing at least two years old as first year males usually look rather yellow but this one is pure red.

The Hertefeld Castle estate, consisting of a castle ruin and attached park, stands in the town of Weeze in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was established in the fourteenth century.
The castle was first mentioned as a knight's seat in 1322. However, it appears that a family of this name lived nearby for significantly longer, since a man named Theodoricus de Hertevenlde was first mentioned in 1179.
In the fourteenth century the castle was the center of an independent domain. However, this independence disappeared in the following years de to increasing subservience to the dukedom of Cleves. In 1322, the domain excluding the castle was sold in 1322 by Wilhelm von Herteveld to Graf Dietrich VII of Cleves. Three years later, the castle too entered the ownership of Cleves. However, the castle was later returned to the Herteveld family in the person of Stephan II von Herteveld, but now as a loan from the house of Cleves.
Following the death of the count Stephan IV in 1485, the family was divided via his two sons into two branches. With the senior branch acquiring through marriage the castle of Kolk in Uedam, Hertefeld castle passed to the junior branch under count Heinrich. This branch later died out in the direct line with Elbert von und zu Hertefeld, who however transferred the estate to his stepbrother Elbert von Steenhaus. Facing financial difficulties, Elbert in turn passed it to his relative Jobst Gerhard von Hertefeld, thereby reunifying the property of the two branches. The hartefeld properties had by this time become quite extensive, incorporating not just Uedam and Weeze but also Boetzelaer castle, Hoennepel, Kervenheim and Zelhem (today part of Bronckhorst).
Jobst Gerhard's father had previously through his good relations with the Duke of Brandenburg, Friedrich Wilhelm, inherited the property of Liebenberg in Brandenburg, which he later made the principle residence of his family. His grandson, Samuel von und zu Hertefeld, was raised to the rank of Freiherr by Friedrich I of Prussia, who frequently lodged at Hertefeld castle during his tours of inspection along the lower Rhine. Another prominent guest was Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
The male line of the family died out in 1867 with Karl von Hertefeld, whose grandniece Alexandrine inherited the property. Since she was married to Philipp Konrad zu Eulenburg, Hertefeld became incorporated into his family property. Alexandrine's son Philipp zu Eulenburg became a personal friend of Wilhelm II, who raised him in 1900 to the rank of Furst. Since the family had also acquired the title of Graf from the king of Sweden, he and his successors were henceforth able to style themselves "Fürst zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld, Graf von Sandels". Philipp himself became notorious only a few years later as a result of the Harden-Eulenburg-Affäre, in which he became a target of the influential publicist Maximilian Harden. In several court cases, he defended himself against allegations of homosexuality without being convicted.
Alexandrines second, Botho Sigwart, became the first family member for some time to make Hertefeld his long-term residence. His opera "Songs of Euripides", which premiered in 1915 at the royal Staatstheater Stuttgart. The principal line of the family returned to Hertefeld at the end of the Second World War, after their principal residence at Liebenburg was confiscated by the East German government.

The Captain Cook Memorial, incorporating the Water Jet and Globe, was constructed by the Commonwealth Government to commemorate the Bicentenary of Captain James Cook's first sighting of the east coast of Australia. The Memorial was officially inaugurated on 25 April 1970 by Queen Elizabeth II. Located in the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin, directly in front of the National Capital Exhibition at Regatta Point, the Captain Cook Memorial Jet sends water to a maximum height of 152 metres, pumping it from, and returning it to, the lake. The exit velocity of water leaving the nozzle is 260 kilometres an hour. About six tonnes of water is in the air at any one moment when the main nozzle is in use, discharging 500 litres per second. 11729
Regno Unito, Yorkshire, Whitby, Primavera 2021
Whitby è una località balneare situata sulla costa orientale dello Yorkshire alla foce del fiume Esk. Whitby ha una solida tradizione marittima, mineraria e turistica. Il porto di pesca è stato fondato durante il Medioevo quando sviluppò soprattutto la pesca delle e delle balene. Fu il luogo dove il Capitano Cook imparò a navigare. Il turismo iniziò durante il periodo georgiano e ricevette ulteriore sviluppo con l'arrivo della ferrovia nel 1839. Parte del romanzo di Bram Stoker Dracula è stato ambientato a Whitby, includendo pezzi di folklore locale. Stoker scoprì il nome "Dracula" presso la vecchia biblioteca pubblica.
Whitby is a seaside town situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk. Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages and developed important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed further on the arrival of the railway in 1839. Part of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula was set in Whitby, incorporating pieces of local folklore. Stoker discovered the name "Dracula" at the old public library.
Encompass, by local sculptor Michael Speller, was inspired by the support given to beneficiaries by the Greenwich Hospital. The interwoven figures, conjure up sailors climbing the rigging of a tall ship, culminate in a domed roof that reference the famous twin domes of Sir Christopher Wren's Royal Naval College.
The piece incorporates "found objects' from the Thames, tools and objects used by craft workers in the market, films set on location in the area here and words, donated by local school children, that are associated with Greenwich. Both objects and text have been impressed upon the figures thereby giving some degree of uniformity to the sculpture.
Waka are Māori watercraft, usually canoes ranging in size from small, unornamented canoes (waka tīwai) used for fishing and river travel, to large, decorated war canoes (waka taua) up to 40 metres long. The earliest remains of a canoe in New Zealand were found near the Anaweka estuary in a remote part of Tasman and radiocarbon-dated to about 1400. The canoe was constructed in New Zealand, but was a sophisticated canoe, compatible with the style of other Polynesian voyaging canoes at that time. Since the 1970s about eight large double-hulled canoes of about 20 metres have been constructed for oceanic voyaging to other parts of the Pacific. but they are made of a blend of modern and traditional materials, incorporating features from both ancient Melanesia, as well as Polynesia.

With fewer insects about in the autumn, this Northern Flicker was incorporating some berries into its diet. This is a female of the red-shafted form. This bird was seen in Carburn Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
A large robin-chat with striking fiery orange underparts and collar, and a dark mask and crown split by broad white eyebrows. The back and wings are olive-gray. Pairs prefer forest thickets in well developed woodland, where they forage on the ground and sing from mid-canopy. Basic variations of the bold duetted “puu-deet, puu-deet, puu-deet” song get louder and louder in a characteristic crescendo, often incorporating varied jumbled notes and imitations of other species.
Rushenyi, Uganda. January 2017.
Trying to incorporate obscured foreground in my images more. This might be my favourite shot so far!!
Two islands of original Canadian National, perhaps even Canadian Northern, wooden poles align the CN Sprague Subdivision in Minnesota. I can't speak for the Manitoba portion or even the Ontario portion on the Fort Frances Subdivision. Here at Williams is one of the pole islands that still surrounds the last set of searchlight signals on the west end of Williams siding. I try to incorporate them into a scene whenever I am up along the Sprague. Never take anything for granted - they might be gone the next time I show up!
Ello dolls! I missed you guys...finally coming back with looks. Needed time away to get that motivation and inspiration. Anyway, I hope you all love this Japan themed look. I tried to incorporate some of my favorite items from this round of Uber. HOMAGE released the perfect hair to go with this edgy look.
Happy Shopping! xoxo
Incorporating the weather into my image. Another busy day with not a lot of time to work on hobbies, fighting the rain and lack of light. It has been strange having the heavy rainfall and a strong smell of smoke in the valley. I am hoping this helps with our drought, puts out the fires and cleans out the air.
Europe, Aegean, Greece, Lesvos, Agia Paraskevi, Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production, Production hall.
Let's delve into the archives to visit a particularily intersting industrial museum: Lesvos' Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production.
From the website of the museum: "The Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production of Lesvos presents the industrial phase of olive-oil production in Greece. It focuses on the changes brought about by the introduction of mechanical motion on the process of olive-oil production and approaches the contribution of the region's inhabitants to the production process with sensitivity.
Its objective is to showcase Lesbos' industrial heritage in the sector of olive-oil production and incorporate it into the broader architectural, social and cultural context of the period. The Museum is housed in the old communal olive press of Aghia Paraskevi on the island of Lesvos. The buildings and the mechanical equipment have been restored in an exemplary fashion. Thus, you can observe how the equipment functions and how the factory evolved from steam power to diesel engine operation. At the same time, you will acquaint yourselves with daily life at the «People's Machine». "
As can be seen on the left of the frame is the vintage way of transfer of energy from the first phase of industrialization: a central steam engine that drives the production machinery via shafts and belts.
This number 51 of the Lesbos album.
Wikipedia: Wat Plai Laem is a temple on the resort island of Ko Samui, Thailand. Like the nearby Wat Phra Yai or "Big Buddha Temple", it is a modern Buddhist temple. The temple's design incorporates elements of Chinese and Thai traditions and was in part designed by distinguished Thai artist Jarit Phumdonming.
