⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍

 

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.

 

Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)

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 !

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.

In the language of flowers, ivy represents eternity. So does a circle. As we pass the longest day of the year, head into winter, and honor the return of light, I hold in my heart the wisdom of and gratitude for the cyclical nature of all things, for the turning of the wheel.

 

Une offrande pour le Solstice hivernal. Dans le langage de fleurs, le lierre grimpante symbolise l'étérnité, ainsi que le cercle. Lorsqu'on dépasse la Solstice et les jours commence a se rallonger, on fête le retour de la lumière. Je garde dans mon coeur la sagesse et la gratitude de la nature cyclique de toutes les choses.

...in the big tent at the KL Park Festival 2023.

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 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

Sometime in the late spring when I was in Belgium I went to visit a friend around Antwerp and then I cycled there, camped in his garden and the day after back to Ghent by bike.

 

The great thing about this bike tour is that it runs along the railway line between Ghent and Antwerp.

 

Now I go back every now and then, work out the plan that was wandering in my head. Stay fit, by bike. always and everywhere.

 

After the previous series of an early cold morning I was back to photograph one of the Saturday night freight trains. A tanker train passed just in time before it started to get too dark. I got wet feet and it might be too blurry, but I was still satisfied, especially with the strip of red light on the side of those tankers.

When the path ignites a soul,

there's no remaining in place.

 

The foot touches ground,

but not for long.

Back in June doing a recce for the 1Zq0 trip to the Brigg line whilst at Bessecar Junction the 6E85 0820 Middleton Towers GBRF to Barnby Dun Roc Glass GBRF passed with 66785 in charge. Never having seen this 'park' before I pegged it across Doncaster to Kirk Sandall to watch the loco reverse into the glassworks.

The European robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a small, iconic UK bird, easily recognised by its bright red breast, territorial nature, and presence in gardens year-round.

"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 wish for a happy thanksgiving for you and for all of those who gather around the table. may we all give thanks for health and happiness and balance in our lives.

When the golden sun is setting and your mind from care is free,

When [of] others you are thinking, will you sometimes think of me?

Think of me when you're happy. Leave for me a little spot.

In the garden of your memory, plant a sweet forget-me-not.

Owl tucked away in a tree box on Woodland walk in and around Llanberis.

 

Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight.

 

Llanberis is a village, community and electoral ward in Gwynedd, northwest Wales, on the southern bank of the lake Llyn Padarn and at the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales.

E sono curioso di guardar queste case che diceva che sono fatte di niente.

E penso che in effetti, chissà, potrebbe esser così. Non è escluso, cioè. Che tutta questa città duri poco, e sia in sostanza un'impalcatura appoggiata sopra un deserto. E che non sia un vero qualcosa, ma uno scherzo, una specie di scherzo per gli stranieri.

E tanto per togliermi la curiosità, provo a grattare uno spigolo. Ah! penso, se per caso è cartone, han fatto un lavoro perfetto, soprattutto nei ritocchi finali. C'è un effetto di vecchio e di colori stinti dal tempo, con macchie di umido e pioggia, mattoni sconnessi; la vernice che fa delle bolle e si stacca, ruggine; gradini consumati e il selciato anche, dai passi, dalle ruote dei tram.

"Incredibile - mi vien da pensare; - se qua è tutto finto è un'opera d'arte."

 

(Ermanno Cavazzoni, Il poema dei lunatici)

In the beauty, among the trees

Face caressed by the summer breeze

Hear the birds sing in the skies

See the clouds, float past your eyes

Walk between the spreading trees

Feel the lovely summer breeze

That falls upon your waiting face

As past you, beauty it does race

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.
