More playing about...the scooter believe it or not, is part of a cruet set, I love scooters and this was brought as a present.
I've isolated the scooter and applied a slight Fractalius filter effect to it and then pasted this over another iconic image.

Bushveld Icon.
The yellowbilled Hornbill is a medium-sized bird that forages mostly at ground level for the fruits, seeds and insects that make up most of its food intake. This is a common bushveld, savanna and woodland species.
Waterton's Cameron Falls are an icon in this national park. I hope to see the falls when they are flowing pink from red rock runoff upstream.

Recently repainted GE U34CH 3372 and Bennet Levin's PRR E8 5711 were basking in the afternoon light in Hoboken.
The subject of this icon (also known as "Christ in Glory" or "Christ in Power") originates from the Byzantine tradition of depicting the Pantocrator in heavenly splendor.
The icon typically depicts: Jesus Christ at the center, within a mandorla (an oval of light symbolizing divine glory),
surrounded by angelic beings — cherubim and seraphim,
in the four corners, the Evangelists may be shown (or their symbols: the lion, the ox, the eagle, and the man),
sometimes, apostles, prophets, or righteous figures from the Old Testament are also included.
If you look at the icon up close, you can see images that have faded over time.
This theme carries an eschatological undertone — portraying Christ as the Judge and Sovereign of the Universe in his divine radiance.
The famed Pepsi-Cola sign in Long Island City, Queens, NY. I took this during a photographer meetup in Long Island City last month. This is from 3 brackets at -2/0/+2. Tonemapped in Photomatix, denoised with Topaz Denoise, minor adjustments in Topaz Adjust, and a little sharpening in CS4. I had a rough time with the noise in the sky on this one, but this is what I finally settle on.

Please...no icons/awards.
The "road" to Crystal Mill is not for the faint in heart. Call it 4x4 ugly. This is especially true when you meet an oncoming vehicle and are then challenged to find a place where two vehicles can pass so closely that you can count the other driver's nose hairs.
Year after year, forever. The icons last forever.
Happy birthday, Barbie!

Betlemi Street, gelegen in het hart van de historische oude binnenstad van Tbilisi, is een charmante en pittoreske wijk die het rijke culturele erfgoed van de stad weerspiegelt. De smalle, kronkelende straatjes worden omzoomd door traditionele Georgische huizen met houten balkons, waarvan er veel zijn versierd met ingewikkelde houtsnijwerken en levendige kleuren. Het gebied is vernoemd naar de nabijgelegen Betlemi-kerk, een belangrijke religieuze plek voor zowel de lokale bevolking als bezoekers. Deze wijk staat bekend om zijn vredige, bijna tijdloze sfeer en biedt een prachtig uitzicht over de stad vanaf de hogere uitkijkpunten. De straten zijn steil en leiden vaak naar verborgen binnenplaatsen en kleine pleinen die de ouderwetse charme van Tbilisi vastleggen. Betlemi Street is ook een culturele hotspot, waar kunstgalerijen, cafés en boetiekjes naast historische bezienswaardigheden liggen, wat een unieke mix van traditie en moderniteit creëert. Bezoekers die door dit gebied slenteren, ervaren de essentie van het verleden van Tbilisi terwijl ze worden omringd door de levendige geest van het heden.
Freedom is under assault these days everywhere in the world. We all need to remember the resolve and courage of those who have gone before us who gave the gift of individual freedom to us. It was never and will never be free.
