"It is sad that so many of worth,
Still in the flesh," soughed the yew,
"Misjudge their lot whom kindly earth
Secludes from view.
"They ride their diurnal round
Each day-span's sum of hours
In peerless ease, without jolt or bound
Or ache like ours.
"If the living could but hear
What is heard by my roots as they creep
Round the restful flock, and the things said there,
No one would weep."
"'Now set among the wise,'
They say: 'Enlarged in scope,
That no God trumpet us to rise
We truly hope.'"
I listened to his strange tale
In the mood that stillness brings,
And I grew to accept as the day wore pale
That view of things.
Thomas Hardy

I ride past this field everyday when I ride my bike and I have been watching it get more intense in color...... this is the peek I believe!
…… This little Campanula is enjoying the mild Autumn and rewarding us with new flowers so I made it my #313 picture of the day. One or two other delights dotted around the garden that ordinarily wouldn’t be! I was pleased with the phones take on this - press Z or 'pinch-out' to peep closer. Alan:-)

The original goose image is shown below.
The original sky image, which I posted here a few days ago, actually started out as a drab grey sky scene, and the color came from the Setting Sun preset in Topaz Adjust. I also applied that preset to the geese but backed off on the strength so the whole scene would hopefully appear more realistic.
Also, HSS!

Everyone in Australia now knows what this man is doing. No, he is not mindlessly checking his phone. He is using his QR code app to "check in" before he is allowed to use the services of Flippers. It is surveillance on a scale we have never known before. They can even check his vaccination status while they're at it. This is ostensibly for health reasons, but will it ever go away? I don't think so! My personal phone doesn't do apps. I wonder what George Orwell would say about it all?
Ancient windmills at the Lasitha plateau, Crete.
There is a whole serie of these mills all in decay.
Years ago there where about 10.000 windmills on the plateau, most of them are in decay, they use electric pumps to pump up the water.

I saw in the newspaper that we've only had 3.5 hours of sun so far in November. It feels like it's always raining or is cloudy.

Having spent time climbing around on the abandoned rotary car dumper (located at Calumet Ave. and the Lakefront in Whiting IN.) as a kid in the late 1970's, I've always been fascinated with this operation.
Saw this Kestrel with my Niece back in July on the Boardwalk that during the Summer is very busy. The bird seemed weakened and the curiosity of people was certainly causing distress. SEPNA (they are a branch of the Police that protects Nature and helps wild animals).was called to pick it up but there was too much people surrounding it and eventually the bird was able to fly away.All I can hope is that all turned out well for this bird Cheers everyone.

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m), but during the rainy season this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
In honor of the Easter holiday, I thought I would post an image made in Cuba of La Catedral de la Virgen María de la Concepción Inmaculada de La Habana.

She stood, waiting. The morning chill was fresh in her nostrils and the beat of the waterfall was prominent in her ears. She thought back to the early days when she and her husband had lived happily in this little cottage. She thought of the months they had spent building it, the seasons they had spent sowing seed and harvesting the crops. She remembered the cold winters and the hot summers spent with him, they had been times of peace. But that was before the war came.
Her husband had marched of to do his duty for the kingdom, and she hadn't heard from him since. Four years on, the war having now ended, she waited. Everyday she listened intently for the sound of a horse's hooves to drift along the stone path, for the familiar tune her beloved had always whistled. She was hopeful. She was sure that he would have survived the war - how could he not? He was a strong man. At the end of each day when he had not returned, she kept up her faith, hoping that tomorrow would be the day. "He will come", she told herself. "In time, he will come".

So, long time no build! I actually started this sometime last year, (early last month :P) but only just got around to finishing it. Hope you enjoy!

Have a great weekend. I have been so busy I haven't had any Flickr time. I went out yesterday with some friends. Just a lovely day, not much for photo shooting so came home and took this shot in my garden.

Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848
Anton Ziegler
1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

Now that I am in DC with awesome people, I didn't want to miss out on taking some awesomeness portraits!
Taizō-in (退蔵院?) is the oldest sub-temple (tatchū (塔頭?)) of the Myōshin-ji Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple, situated in the northwest of Kyoto, Japan. It was founded by Zen priest Muinsoin in 1404. The original temple buildings were burned during the Ōnin War (1467-1477), and were later rebuilt.
Taizō-in is well known for its two gardens. The main garden, Motonobu-no-niwa, is a traditional Japanese dry landscape garden (karesansui), containing several angular rocks suggesting the cliffs of the island of Hōrai, with smaller stones suggesting a stream. The planting is mostly evergreen, including camellia, pine, and Japanese umbrella pine. It covers 50 tsubo (170 m²) and was designed to integrate a borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") of a view of Narabigaoka Hill in the distance. It is thought to be the final work of Muromachi painter Kanō Motonobu (狩野 元信), reproducing one of his paintings in three dimensions.
A new pond garden, or yoko-en, was designed by Kinsaku Nakane in 1963-1966. The new garden is large enough for visitors to walk in, and contains azaleas and a stream that cascades along the main axis, directly toward the main viewing position. The stream flows around rocks, gradually widening until it empties into a pool in front of the viewer. (Wikipedia)
