Shot in Chartres - Eure & Loir - France -
Chartres is universally known for its cathedral listed as World Heritage by UNESCO. For several years "Chartres en Lumières" reveals the cultural and architectural wealth of a city that brightly shines every night from dusk until 1 am.
Comprised of 26 original lighting and video scenographies, this patrimonial path of light will be presented from April 11 till October 10, 2015.
"Lights of Chartres" has become one of the major events in the city, through its spectacular 183 consecutive evenings of light shows... Entirely free !

From Peter Gabriel
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
These little ones were captured a week ago also, but the TransMontana of MMV ( flic.kr/p/2pDz1CE ) deserved to be released earlier. I watched these little flowers every morning while going to work, and hoped they will survive the week without wounds. On the end of the week they looked well enough for some bokeh pictures.

The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.
In de zomer van 2024 konden we wederom van het schitterende vakantieland Tsjechië genieten. Onze dochter heeft een grote voorkeur voor dit land en dan komt het helemaal niet slecht uit dat de vader een groot liefhebber van Tsjechische treinen is. Zwemmen bij het zomerhuisje en uitjes werden afgewisseld met korte en wat langere treinentripjes in de buurt.
Op ruim vijftig rijden vanaf ons vakantiehuisje is de stek bij Nová Ves u Kolína aan de hoofdlijn Praha-Kolín te vinden. Qua goederentreinen is deze lijn wat rustiger dan de nabijgelegen hoofdlijn Nymburk-Lysá nad Labem, maar qua reizigersverkeer is dit een zeer interessante lijn met veel afwisseling. Ondanks de inmiddels gangbare en overheersende Najbrt-kleurstelling komen er nog best veel kleurrijke treinen voorbij.
Je moet niet heel prikkelgevoelig zijn, want je staat op deze plek wel vlakbij een zeer druk bereden weg waar niet bepaald langzaam wordt gereden. Daardoor werden de treinen qua geluid flinkt overstemt door het autoverkeer. Verder kun je in augustus en later helaas na zeven uur hier geen foto meer nemen in verband met de schaduwen van het viaduct (en voorbereidende vrachtwagens) op het spoor.
Hier zien we de fraaie klassieke Čd 150 202-0 met Sp 1528 Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží-Praha hlavní nádraží bij Nová Ves u Kolína op 12-8-2024.
Deze locomotieven kwamen in 1978 in dienst. Helaas worden deze locomotieven met ingang van de nieuwe dienstregeling in december 2024 niet meer ingezet. De diensten worden vervangen door moderne treinstellen ("Regiopanters"). Van de verwante serie 151 blijven nog enkele exemplaren nog een jaar rijden en dan valt het doek ook voor die serie.

"In velata fioritura" descrive uno stato di fioritura appena accennata, parziale o nascosta, dove la piena esplosione dei fiori è ancora in parte celata o sta iniziando. L'aggettivo "velata" suggerisce che la fioritura non è ancora completamente manifesta, ma si intravede, suggerendo una bellezza sottile e in divenire, come un velo che nasconde e rivela contemporaneamente.
In arte:
Può descrivere un'opera in cui i fiori sono presenti ma non sono il soggetto principale o sono rappresentati in modo meno evidente.
In senso figurato:
Può descrivere una situazione in cui qualcosa sta iniziando ad emergere, ma non si è ancora pienamente sviluppata o rivelata.
A Parasitic Jaeger is seen in flight with two small fish in its bill — whether it obtained them itself or by theft from another bird is unknown. It was thrilling to watch the action as several of these members of the Skuas family took passes at various gulls and terns, and made twisting maneuvers when they located a potential ‘donor.’ The interactions took place off Cape Merry near the town of Churchill in the northern part of the Canadian province of Manitoba. [This species is called Arctic Skua in the Old World.]
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It was originally a residence of the Naitō family in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management of the Imperial Household Agency of Japan. It is now a park under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of the Environment.
The shogun bequeathed this land to Lord Naitō (daimyo) of Tsuruga in the Edo period who completed a garden here in 1772. After the Meiji Restoration the house and its grounds were converted into an experimental agricultural centre. It then because a botanical garden before becoming an imperial garden in 1879. The current configuration of the garden was completed in 1906. Most of the garden was destroyed by air raids in 1945, during the later stages of World War II. The garden was rebuilt after the war.
The jurisdiction over the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and the Kyoto imperial garden was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now part of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) in 1947.
On May 21, 1949 the garden became open to the public as "National Park Shinjuku Imperial Gardens". It came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment in January 2001 with the official name "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".
I spotted this miniature game of cat-and-mouse yesterday in the phlox patch in my back yard. I'm not sure how; these spiders are TINY, only a few millimeters, but they were pale specks against the green. As I tried to get to a good angle to photograph one, I became aware of another, and then I realized there was a hunt afoot. It seemed the larger was aware of the smaller, but I'm not sure if the smaller knew of the larger. I could see that the larger was female, but didn't get a look at the other's face, so wondered if it was a male.
I don't know the outcome of this chase, as they eventually disappeared into the growth.

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel
Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton and twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good and really fine
We're no threat people, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy
Sing along with us, dee-dee dee-dee dee
Da doo da-da da, yeah, we're hap-pap-py
Da da da, dee da doo dee da doo da doo da
Da doo da-da da, dee da da dee da da

When the path ignites a soul,
there's no remaining in place.
The foot touches ground,
but not for long.

.....accoutrements.
here's the greenhouse/garden goddess flying through a tiny flowered orchid which is ready to burst with bloom.
I picked her up years and years ago. I don't know when. I don't know where. she has a bit of rust, but she's still lookin' good.
**I'm still on hiatus. I really love the evenings free.
tonight I did do some commenting.
basically I live days in the little greenhouse, and I've been spending evening trying some new origami. and reading. and hugging the dogs.
and eating pie while I watch my stomach grow. sigh...
my commenting will be off and on.

In San Francisco with my west coast damsel a few weekends back on a photo walk with flickr’s San Francisco photo group celebrating flickr’s 20th anniversary doing a photo walk, we spent part of the weekend capturing images of the magnificent Goldengate Bridge both days, but this image is not of the Goldengate bridge, but rather it is the complex of Bethlehem Steel where the steel the forms the Goldengate Bridge was forged in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. Much of the steel of the famous New York City Landmarks, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, bridges like the George Washington and of course the Goldengate were forged in the massive furnaces of Bethlehem Steel. The campus was enormous, these are vestiges of what remains and the enormous stacks and furnaces have been landmarked, preserved and the area turned into a multipurpose venue. Many things have been torn down at the rebuild continues, the corporate office building which was standing when I took this image was imploded, but there are these wonderful structures that remain that make an interesting photographic subject of what was. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitbethlehem @steelstacks_pa #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography #lehighvalleypa @lehighvalleypa @visit_pa

Es wurde im XIV Jahrhundert als orthodoxe Kirche erbaut.
In korte tijd kwam mijn tweede ELL Vectron van SBBC voor de lens. Deze 193 256 is met een GTS shuttle onderweg naar de Rotterdamse havens.
I've shot this tree in Summer and Winter before, and covered in snow. This is the first time in Autumn. Unfortunately it doesn't have the greatest of Autumn colour!
Bornean Keeled Green Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
A Bornean keeled green viper waits for prey along the banks of the Segama River, it stayed in the same area for several days just moving a few body lengths over the course of them. I wanted to get a wide angle shot showing off the area it was in, the angles were a tad bit tricky but I'm reasonably happy with this shot. It was very rewarding not to disturb this viper and come back and see it every day for a while.
Taken in Kiama NSW.
This kestrel was perched on the corner of the gutter around our rental when we arrived. Not particularly interested in me fortunately so I was able to get a few shots in before it flew off.
Native to Australia and New Guinea, one of the smallest falcons. Like kestrels elsewhere it does not rely on speed to catch its prey. Instead, it simply perches in an exposed position, but it also has a distinctive technique of hovering over crops and grasslands.
