Bonjour Tristesse (English: "Hello Sadness") is a novel by Françoise Sagan. Published in 1954, when the author was only 18, it was an overnight sensation.
Loves it!!! It's been a while since we got some Nu Face fashions. Gizzy and Erin need some new threads!
My instant fave thanks to the shoes.

- I saw you standing in the corner, on the edge of a burning light..I saw you standing in the corner..Come to me again, in the cold, cold night..You make me feel a little older, like a full grown woman might but when youre gone I grow colder, come to me again in the cold, cold night..I see you walking by my front door, I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor..I dont care what other people say, Im going to love you, anyway..Come to me again in the cold, cold night..I cant stand it any longer, I need the fuel to make my fire bright so dont fight it any longer..Come to me again, in the cold, cold night..And I know that you feel it too, when my skin turns into glue, you will know that its warm inside and youll come run to me, In the cold, cold, night

The early morning light lights up CSX Q259, a westbound CSX auto train as it passes Marion Union Station in Marion, Ohio.
In den frühen Morgenstunden des 21. August 2010 ist in Himmelpfort das sogenannte Brauhaus bis auf die Umfassungsmauern niedergebrannt. Dieses Gebäude war bis dahin einer der am besten erhaltenen Teile der mittelalterlichen Klosteranlage. Während ein großer Teil der eigentlichen Klostergebäude nach Reformation und dreißigjährigem Krieg zerstört war oder - nicht mehr gebraucht - verfiel und abgerissen wurde, konnte dieses am Rand des Klosterbezirks gelegene Gebäude als Lagerhaus weitergenutzt werden und wurde daher immer wieder instandgesetzt.
Inscription on postcard translates to something like "Solemnity [near] monument to Nevelskoy" written in pre-Revolution orthograthy. Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoy was russian admiral and explorer of Far East. (This information was provided by flickr member Hans KC)
Unveiled in 1897, the monument to Nevelskoy became the first monument in Vladivostok. The cornerstone was laid in 1891 by Cesarevich Nikolai who was to be the last imperial ruler of Russia. The townspeople had been donating since 1889 when the idea of commemorating the memory of G. Nevelskoy was first put into words. Admiral Nevelskoy (1813-1876), Russian explorer of the Far East proved that Sakhalin was an island--not a peninsula as it had been thought of before--and that the Amur was navigable in all its parts--the mouth of the Amur had been believed to be lost in quick sands. Nevelskoy also founded Nikolayevsk-on-Amur in 1850.
Simple in form and modest in embellishment, the Nevelskoy Monument began to symbolize the collective exploration exploits and pioneering spirit of sailors, soldiers, cossacks and first explorers. Designed by the navy engineer A.Antipov, the monument consists of twelve gray granite slabs topped with the globe circled along the diameter and crowned with a two-headed eagle, a symbol of Russian csars' autocracy. In the niche facing the Golden Horn Inlet stands the Nevelskoy bust perfectly executed by a renouned Russian sculptor R.Bach (1859 - 1933). Inconspicuous presence of Nevelskoy highlights the expressiveness of the whole. In the rest three niches there are the bronze plaques bearing the names of Nevelskoy's collaborators who participated in 1849 - 1853 expeditions.
The story of the Nevelskoy Monument is typical of post-revolutionary Russia: in 1923 the five-pointed star came to replace the two-headed eagle, the remains of revolutionaries were reburied in front of the monument. Since then the small public garden surrounding it has been named the Victims of the Revolution Public Garden. In 1958 two years before the centenary of Vladivostok, N.Kukel'-Krayevsky, the grandson of Nevelskoy, addressed the local government to restore the monument. By 1960 the Nevelskoy Monument had been restored.
Vladivostok literally 'ruler of the east' is a city and the administrative centre of the Far Eastern Federal District and Primorsky Krai, Russia, located around the Golden Horn Bay, not far from Russia's borders with China and North Korea. The population of the city as of 2018 was 604,901, up from 592,034 recorded in the 2010 Russian census. Harbin in China is about 515 kilometres (320 mi) away, while Sapporo in Japan is about 775 kilometres (482 mi) east across the Sea of Japan. The city is the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet and is the largest Russian port on the Pacific coast.

A weathered sign covered in stickers stands alone in the barren volcanic landscape of Jandía, Fuerteventura. The misty mountains and cloudy sky in the background create an atmosphere of solitude and timelessness. Captured during a moody day on this wild Canary Island peninsula.
I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

We came on this little trip to see Burney falls which we had heard about and here's a bit of the history of it according to Wikipedia
The park is within the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau natural region, with 910 acres (4 km²) of forest and five miles (8 km) of streamside and lake shoreline, including a portion of Lake Britton.
The park's centerpiece is the 129 foot (39 m) Burney Falls, which is not the highest or largest waterfall in the state, but arguably the most beautiful. Additional water comes from springs, joining to create a mist-filled basin. Burney Creek originates from the park's underground springs and flows to Lake Britton, getting larger along the way to the falls.
The park's landscape was created by volcanic activity as well as erosion from weather and streams. This volcanic region is surrounded by mountain peaks and is covered by black volcanic rock, or basalt. Created over a million years ago, the layered, porous basalt retains rainwater and snow melt, which forms a large underground reservoir.
Within the park, the water emerges as springs at and above Burney Falls, where it flows at 100 million gallons every day (4.4 m³/s).
Teddy Roosevelt named it the eighth wonder of the world...
view on black it looks kind of cool I promise!
Snape Castle is a semi-fortified manor house in the village of Snape, North Yorkshire, England. The castle is 3 miles (5 km) south of Bedale and 19 miles (31 km) north of Ripon. At the time of Henry VIII, John Leland described it as "...a goodly castel in a valley [be]longing to the Lorde Latimer.." The castle is now a private residence, and is a grade I listed building.
References throughout history have indicated that a manor house was built on the site by Ralph FitzRanulph of Middleham. His daughter, the Lady of Middleham married Robert Neville, Robert de Neville's son, and the building stayed in the Neville family until the 16th century. Snape Castle itself, which lies at the western edge of the village of Snape, was built sometime in the early 15th century, (between 1425 and 1430), when George Neville, inherited the land and buildings from his father, Ralph, the Earl of Westmorland. Although variously described as a manor house, or a hall, some thought was given over to defensive measures; the surrounding land, which was prone to flooding and so marshy, was kept in place. The original castle was planned around a courtyard measuring 140 feet (43 m) north to south, and 180 feet (55 m) west to east.
During the 15th century, both Cecily Neville and Queen Anne lived at the castle, providing a link to Richard III; Neville being his mother and Anne his wife.
In January 1537, a mob stormed the castle and took Katherine Parr and the two children hostage. The mob consisted of members of the Pilgrimage of Grace who were worried that John Neville (Third Baron Latimer, and Parr's then husband), would betray them to Henry VIII. Neville, who was trying to mediate between the King and the northern countrymen, hastened back to the castle where he was able to persuade the mob to leave and release his family. The cleric and antiquary, John Leland described the manor at Snape as "..'a goodly castel in a valley longing to the Lorde Latimer, and ii or iii parkes welle woddid abowt it."
In 1577, Sir Thomas Cecil inherited the Manor of Snape through his wife, Dorothy Neville, whom he had married in 1564. In 1577, Thomas set about rebuilding the castle, though he did not use it after 1578 when he inherited the Burghley estate near Stamford from his father. Cecil's renovation of the castle provided its towers, but these were for effect rather than defence, and has led to it being called a "sham castle". The west wall contains an Elizabethan chimney with the date of 1587, the assumed date of the completion of Cecil's efforts.
The estate was sold in 1798 to William Milbank of nearby Thorpe Perrow. Still partly inhabited, the castle retains its Perpendicular windows as built by Cecil. The building is now registered with Historic England as a Grade I listed structure.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 11:21am on Wednesday 28th July 2021 at 81 Central Parade, in front of Waltrop Gardens, looking towards the remnants of one of the original piers at Herne Bay on the Thames Estuary, CT6 5JQ, England.
This is all that remains of the third pier at Herne Bay, with just the steamer passengers landing stage remaining after a storm January 11th 1978 which wrecked the 3,787ft (1,154m) wooden pier, designed by Wrighton & Co which originally opened in 1899.Further out we see the Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm, completed in 2005 and located on a shallow plateau just outside the main Thames shipping lanes. You can also see a cluster of Maunsell sea forts built in 1942 and decommissioned in the 1950's.

I left at 9am for the One hour journey down with the possibility of sun, cloud and rain showers. At Herne Bay it was time for my usual stop at 'Makcari's Coffee Lounge & Ice Cream Parlour' for a slice of cherry and almond gateaux and a lovely latte coffee before a pleasant stroll on a mixed day. With rain off in the distance I headed back to the car, just getting inside before the heavens opened!
On the drive home torrential rain and wind made it impossible to see the road ahead at times, before clearing and sunny spells dominating. A typical British summer day, you might say!

Original poster - 'Blowing in the Mind/ Mister Tambourine Man', colour screen-print from multiple stencils on gold foil paper, designed by Martin Sharp, London, 1968. It is a complex multi-stencil design in red and black inks screen-printed on gold foil paper, the design featuring multiple radiating circular motifs with two portraits of Bob Dylan, the large central frontal profile with reflecting dark glasses and caption 'Blowing in the Mind', the smaller side profile placed in front of an entwined 'Mister Tambourine Man'. Lyrics of the song are written within letters and circles. This was the first "serious" poster I bought.

after all that plagiarism and copying others work discussions that float around flickr right now, i felt really bad about last weeks picture...
i mean, i am often inspired by other peoples work but usually i try to make my pictures really mine by doing things differently than the stuff i got my inspiration from... but last weeks picture really is nothing more than a copy with minor differences to the original. that's why i'm feeling bad and i wanted to at least use the techniques i learned copying that work in this weeks picture so that i can say i copied for a reason...
so here you go, using last weeks method i created this (and no, the concept is not very original, i've seen it around a few times but at least this time i feel like it really is my work...)...
anyway, sorry for the rant but reading all those discussion really made me feel bad about some of my work...
oh, and for those who want to know what's going on in my life:
a photography school in vienna accepted me (finally!!) so i'm gonna start studying photography starting in 2 weeks... plus, since that program is not very elaborate, i also enrolled at university again and am starting to study comparative literature starting from next week... on the other hand, i am still looking for a job but so far no one wanted me... :(
at least studying will keep me busy until i can apply at the academy of advertising...
scout says this appeared in explore!! thank you guys!! :)
A quiet portrait captured in a moment of deep reflection. The red hoodie, soft shadows, and cinematic tones draw the eye toward the subtle emotion in his profile. This image blends fine art portraiture with a moody, urban atmosphere, highlighting the intensity of youth, identity, and stillness. It is a study in colour, character, and contemplative expression, a simple moment that reveals something fragile, honest, and real. Perfect light, raw emotion, and a strong visual narrative bring this portrait to life.
Another from my smoke session. This is a combination of two images duplicated and flipped in photoshop plus a little saturation painting and sharpening.
All exposed at 160th sec, f11, ISO 100 at 70mm focal length. I used a slave flash slightly behind and below the smoke and used a home made snoot on my speedlight set at 50% power. With black card at the rear and also a nightlight candle on the floor hopefully to help the smoke form more interesting swirls from the rising heat.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Please press L to view on black and full size (recommended).

Lots of hummingbird activity around the feeder today. I decided to set up the tripod and use my wireless controller to try to get some shots of these fascinating little birds. Captured this shot of a female ruby throated hummingbird as she approached the feeder.
In diesen Augenblicken wird eine nichtige Kreatur, ein Hund, eine Ratte, ein Käfer, ein verkrümmter Apfelbaum, ein sich über den Hügel schlängelnder Karrenweg, ein moosbewachsener Stein mir mehr als die schönste hingebendste Geliebte der glücklichsten Nacht mir je gewesen ist. Diese stummen und manchmal unbelebten Kreaturen heben sich mir mit einer solchen Fülle, einer solchen Gegenwart der Liebe entgegen, daß mein beglücktes Auge auch ringsum auf keinen toten Fleck zu fallen vermag.
Es erscheint mir alles, was es gibt, alles, dessen ich mich entsinne, alles, was meine verworrensten Gedanken berühren, etwas zu sein.
------------------------
In these moments an insignificant creature - a dog, a rat, a beetle, a crippled apple tree, a lane winding over the hill, a moss-covered stone, mean more to me than the most beautiful, abandoned mistress of the happiest night. These mute and, on occasion, inanimate creatures rise toward me with such an abundance, such a presence of love, that my enchanted eye can find nothing in sight void of life.
Everything that exists, everything I can remember, everything touched upon by my confused thoughts, has a meaning.
