This was taken in the British Museum, and shows a couple of sarcophagus.. intended to carry the deceased into the afterlife.
I may have tinkered a little with this image.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished archive shot from April 2016. I opted for a square crop to get the symmetry in the background that made the composition sing for me.
I have broken my New Year's Resolution to take and publish at least one photograph per month in an attempt to rekindle my relationship with my camera this year. I have nothing for March I am sad to say. Last night I had intended to get out and capture the most spectacular stratified sunset sky on the beach but sadly my PTSD symptoms were too much for me.
Of course I am hoping to get back on track from April. Trying to convince myself that this is just a minor setback as opposed to a failure.
I hope that you have all had a wonderful weekend and that you enjoy this square crop from my archives. Take care.
I put the word simplicity in quotes not because I really intended to name the shot that, mostly because it was another lesson in a long procession of lessons that I've learned doing this hobby. Usually on my nightscapade trips I end up having "great" ideas pop into my head, after long days of hiking/working/traveling I'll have lightbulb moments spontaneously while out roaming under the stars. Then when I'm behind my computer putting in the grunt work I'll often think to myself "what in the hell was I thinking?" This is the result of one of those spontaneous lightbulb moments.
This is a shot taken up in the Uinta Mountains in Utah, I was originally going to hike to the top of Bald Mountain and get a large pano from the summit, but I arrived at the trailhead late and was unsure of the snow/trail conditions (which was a good call as I learned the next morning on my climb up). Instead I scouted a meadow below the mountain that had some nice high-elevation alpine ponds with incredibly clear water and some interesting boulders scattered about. I framed this picture with the idea that it would just be a simple scene, a calm/clear pond with a lone rock poking out set before a beautiful Milky Way Core. Except I, again, forgot how utterly nightmarish it is to edit tracked shots with trees. Ugh.
12 shots for this one taken with my Nikon D800E and Sigma Art 50mm lens on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer. Sky shots are 3 minute exposures at ISO 800 and f2.8, foreground shots are 3 minute exposures at ISO 1600 and f1.8.
I hadn't intended to post this photo but given the Happy Caturday theme of "Touching" I decided to go ahead. This was taken after the decision had been made to euthanize Jimmy and we were waiting for the doctor to get the drugs. I knelt on the floor and touched Jimmy while he laid on the exam table and looked out the window. George took the photo.
Sorry about missing last Happy Caturday! My brother Doug and his Belgian Malinois Ember surprised us with a week-long visit. It was a whirlwind of fun but it's taken me the 5 days since he left to recover. Doug ran around to see as much as he could see - DC, Philly, Princeton, NYC - while George and I "dog sat" Ember. I ended up smitten with Ember but could not live long term with such an intense, strong dog.
Happy Caturday: Touching

It was about time to join MM again. I had some lack of inspiration lately but quickly came up with the pencil sharpener for this week's theme.
We had intended own climbing Creise in November the previous year when we climbed the adjacent Meall a Bhuiridh, however much as the conditions appeared top notch to me Mark wasn't going too entertain a winter traverse of the ridge that links these two. For that reason wee came back the following summer, climbed Meall a Bhuiridh again and this time added on the out and back ascent of Crerise. This is the view looking west from the multicoloured summit cairn towards Beinn Mhic Chasgaig.
““Now what ?" asked the man in black.
"We face each other as intended," Knives said. "No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone."
"You mean you'll put down your Kunai and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?””

Thanks a lot to all Flickr member friends for visiting, all faves and comments are much appreciated.
This work, at York Minster, was planned five years ago and had originally been intended to celebrate the queen’s platinum jubilee. It was finished in August, a month before she died.
The majestic statue by Richard Bossons, 52, shows the queen in her robes of the Order of the Garter and has been installed above the West Front entrance of the 850-year-old building. It stands seven feet tall and weighs 1.1 tons.
The sculptor was chosen in a special competition. A stonemason, he has worked at York Minster for 11 years and previously specialized in cathedral gargoyles.
The monument is his first ever portrait.
I hadn't intended to go to this location this morning as was meant to be capturing a nice sunrise elsewhere, but didn't set my alarm correctly. I needn't have worried as the sunrise never happened anyway..
Derby Arena is a multi-use arena and velodrome at Pride Park in Derby, England. The Arena was opened in March 2015 by Sarah Storey and Margaret Beckett.
It is Britain's fifth 250-metre indoor track, which will be raised to allow easy access to the 12 badminton court size infield area. There is also be a cafe, fitness gym, group exercise studios and a spinning studio.
I had intended to make another of these monochromatic spacemen pictures during Febrovery, but it just didn't happen.
The other day I came across a picture where the bikini girl is wearing a matching tanga, tried it and loved it instantly.
The rest is just another silly idea.

After screwing it up on film, I went back the next day to take it on digital. Slightly different angle.
Although I intended my 800mm lens mostly for wildlife, it does well on other scenes as well. This busy little scene is part of the main harbour at Portland in Victoria. Taken from a high viewpoint near the Portland hospital looking around 500 metres across the harbour to the fishing boats. View large for lots of variety and detail to look at.
What was intended to an astrophotography focused camping trip with clear skies instead turned into variable and wet weather. Using the telephoto to isolate interesting bands of light and dark over Mono Lake, I processed as a high contrast, monochrome image to bring out the drama and dark mood of this scene.
Originally intended as a high key still life…I got carried away with the textures, somewhat. :-)
Happy Sunday, everyone!
When I started imaging this I had intended to do a 2 or 3 pane mosaic but the awful weather this month has led me to process on it's own. Looking back at my previous attempts at this I conclude that the 10 minute Ha exposures are making a big difference. Also the PHD2 software is performing much better for me than the original ever did.

I intended to photograph an evil spider living in our bathroom, but it wasn't obliging, so I had to photograph this little fellow instead. I'm quite happy with it, considering I was using on-camera flash. I will capture the elusive evil spider one day!

This is a dish of Halo Top Rainbow Swirl ice cream with two Kit Kat bars added for good measure. One of my lovely silver spoons just digging in making contact with the multi-colored flavors. HMM, everyone ! !
Okay, the last shot was intended to be the last WIP, but the responses I got on it were... mixed. Apparently I didn't quite make it clear what I was still working on. And of course there was the issue of the mask.
So, this update was about color and filling gaps. I added a few more highlights of blue and yellow and did a lot of work in the chest area. I'm still not quite happy with it, but this is the best version I've come up with so far. The lower arms are still very rough and liable to change, and I will probably put more color into them. I also gave her a weapon and a stand.
Now, the big question? Which mask do you honestly prefer? Because I still think Tanma's mask is best, but I thought I'd try a few alternates to satisfy those that didn't approve of it.
I had intended to make another gantry rover, but fiddling with the parts this came out. The main connection are 8 rods in hollow studs.

Toy Project Day 3480
I had intended to remove this box from the bed this afternoon, but Millie got in it again, so I will leave it there for a few days. Taken by Edgar.
Sometimes an idea works out differently than you expect. This was intended to be a photo of just a passionflower tendril with a droplet at its center, but the droplet would not form an acceptable “lens” based on the imperfect edges to the spiral. Many attempts were made before deciding that another element would be required.
I have a box of wildflower seeds that I collect opportunistically and use when the mood strikes. This one is a favourite: Salsify (also called Yellow Goat’s Beard). The large web-like sail on the seed holds water droplets nicely, and I nudged this seed firmly into the center of the spiral. It didn’t stay there for long, with the weight of the accruing water making it front-heavy and nearly falling out of the tendril. In its descent, friction against the thicker barbs at the end of the seed stopped it. The camera was ready for its previous positioning, but all settings were dialed in. A quick adjustment to framing and focus, and here we are.
Moments after the photo was taken, the seed continued to fall and ended up on the table. For a behind-the-scenes image I placed it back in the approximate location, and you can see that here: donkom.ca/bts/IMG_2283.jpg - a sunflower used as the background, connecting both blue and yellow is support of Ukraine.
And there has been some developments on that front, for those who do not receive regular news updates. There are five main points I’d like to mention:
- Russians have placed a human head impaled on a stick somewhere in Popasna. The thought process to commit such a crime is seemingly pervasive across their armed forces: instill fear for control with zero regard of human life. Russia is showing the world they are ready to head back to the Dark Ages, which began with the fall of Rome. The parallels to Moscow are uncanny.
- Russian forces tortured and murdered at least 50 Ukrainian Prisoners of War in Olenivka prison camp. They claim that Ukrainian forces struck the facility after learning that the prisoners were providing testimony about Ukrainian war crimes. In reality, all evidence indicates that a Russian thermobaric warhead was detonated inside the facility and not indicative of a missile attack. The war crime is a way to fuel the Russian propaganda machine in Moscow, where the Russian version of events will remain unchallenged.
- Amnesty International filed a report stating that Ukrainian forces were using civilian infrastructure and endangering civilian lives in the process. The report was not offered to Amnesty International Ukraine for input and was written by someone using testimony from people in Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine. As a result, many people have cut ties with the organization with at least one founder leaving. Why is this important? Such a report basically gives Russia full permission in their delusions to fire on all civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, as if they weren’t doing that already. However, for the purposes of propaganda, this can paint such attacks in a heroic light for the Russian population.
- Unexpectedly and with devastating force, significant damage to an air base in Crimea has occurred, destroying more Russian aircraft than at any other point in the war and killing an estimated 60 pilots. The source of the attack is currently unclear, as the distance from Ukrainian-controlled territory is greater than the longest-range weapons that Ukraine has. Some people suggest it was an improvised drone strike that set of a cascade reaction of explosions, others suggest that Ukraine has been given weapons of which the public has no knowledge (fog of war reasoning). Either way, the Kerch bridge leading from Crimea to Russia has been jam packed with cars leaving the region. The Russians no longer feel safe there.
- There are reports that Russia has mined and planted explosives strategically inside and around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (the largest such facility in Europe). The head of the Russian forces in the region made “scorched earth” comments; basically, if Russia can’t have it, they’ll destroy it. This would be the largest nuclear disaster in history, resulting in radioactive clouds that would spread across the planet.
What does this all break down to? The complete disregard for human life by the Russian forces continue, and are partially enhanced by their ability to spin their own web of lies and justifications for further diabolical actions. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are grinding the Russian forces down, destroying certain bridges around Kherson and creating intense fear among the Russians in Crimea. For all the terror that Russia inflicts, they gain nothing but fear and uncertainty.
It's only a matter of time before the forces in the Kherson region are so diminished that the area can be liberated with a minimum of casualties to the brave men and women of Ukraine and all fighting alongside them. The demoralized forces from Russia will likely have an escalation of desertion, possibly with increased desperation in tactics.
Ukraine’s biggest challenge will be to bring the fight to the east side of the Dnipro River in the south. If powerful nations around the globe continue to supply Ukraine with more advanced, long-range weaponry, the next stage of the Ukraine War will begin. They all need our support, and we must be prepared for the unspeakable horrors discovered when towns and cities are liberated. Support charities working in the region, write to your government officials, create your own messages of support, rally and make it known that Russia cannot win and cannot be allowed to follow this path of tyrannical madness ever again. We continue our support over here, as best we can.
Just been looking through my photos to add a few more to a talk I'm giving on Friday evening and came across this one. I obviously intended to post it as it has been resized, but never got round to it. Here it is now then, better late than never!

The Stadhuis (City Hall) of Antwerp, Belgium, stands on the western side of Antwerp's Grote Markt (Great Market Square). Erected between 1561 and 1565 after designs made by Cornelis Floris de Vriendt and several other architects and artists, this Renaissance building incorporates both Flemish and Italian influences. The Stadhuis is inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List along with the belfries of Belgium and France.
In the 16th century Antwerp became one of the busiest trading ports and most prosperous cities in Northern Europe. The municipal authorities wished to replace Antwerp's small medieval town hall with a more imposing structure befitting the prosperity of the great port city. Antwerp architect Domien de Waghemakere drafted a plan (c. 1540) for a new building in a style typical of the monumental Gothic town halls of Flanders and Brabant.
But the threat of war prevented any progress on the project. The building materials intended for the Stadhuis were instead used to shore up the city defenses. Not until about 1560 new plans were developed. In the meantime Gothic architecture had gone out of fashion. The new designs for the Stadhuis were in the new Renaissance style. Completed in 1565, the building lasted hardly a decade before being burnt to a shell in the Spanish Fury of 1576. It was restored three years later.
The low arcaded ground story is of rusticated stone, and at one time housed little shops. Above are two stories with Doric and Ionic columns separating large mullioned windows, and a fourth story forming an open gallery.
The richly ornamented central section, which rises above the eaves in diminishing stages, holds female statues representing Justice, Prudence, and the Virgin Mary, and bears the coats of arms of the Duchy of Brabant, the Spanish Habsburgs, and the Margraviate of Antwerp.
Renovations during the late 19th century by architects Pierre Bruno Bourla, Joseph Schadde and Pieter Jan August Dens drastically modified the interior. Much of the stately decoration dates from this period, as does a roof over what was once an open-air inner courtyard. A number of the leading Antwerp historical painters were invited to assist with the decorations. Henri Leys painted a series of murals depicting key events in Antwerp's history and portraits of former Belgian rulers for the Leys Hall

The Carchi Pasto culture was located in northern Ecuador in the province of Carchi, in the inter-Andean region between the Mira and Chota rivers. It extended as far as the Nariño Department of Colombia. Most of the population settled in the territories of Ipiales, Túquerres (Colombia) and Carchi (Ecuador).
It was characterized as being a peaceful, sedentary trading culture. The Carchi Pasto traded Spondylus mollusc shells, coca leaves, salt and jade with other coastal and Amazonian peoples. They were expert hunters of deer, which had a strong symbolic value.
This culture is renowned for its pottery and metallurgy. Many of their pieces feature “coqueros” – human figures in a sitting position with a bulge in their cheeks representing the rite of chewing coca leaves—along with interpretations of sacred animals such as jaguars and monkeys. They specialized in the negative painting technique to decorate their pottery, which was a dark red color. They also made use of positive-space painting, modelling, stone carving and gold-copper alloys. They also used Spondylus shells as beads and collars, which they obtained through trade with other regions.
I had intended going for a short walk yesterday to have a look at a new bridge that has been built over the freeway, however as some shots that will be posted later in the week will show I ended up doing a 16km round trip and got some great shots.
This wee skink lizard was enjoying some Winter sunshine.
I intended to focus on a single backlit dew drop that was sitting on the top of all the long grass blades, but when I set up my camera and turned it on, it was way out-of-focus but looked really intriguing. So, I tried a few shots and settled on this one. Photographed in the restored prairie area of Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
Clasp and eye, you can't have one without the other...if you do, the chain can't be used until the missing part is replaced.

Many thanks for visiting. I truly appreciate your comments and/or faves.
Intended for black and white, but for now at least, I was enjoying the fog-muted colors too much to part with them.
I intended to have comments disabled , I just wanted to say Happy Valentines Day. I researched how to do that , followed the instructions, but somehow it did not stick .
Oh well, thats even better, comments are nice !! Thanks everyone :)
Pun intended.

I had intended to photograph 37421 further down the platform at Hengoed, as it came under the original footbridge but was completely bowled by a Pacer arriving from the other direction. A quick dash to the end of the platform was in order to grab this one. 2R20 17:01 Cardiff Central to Rhymney.
This week I intended to take photos in the garden for the October month challenge, but didn't expect this. She came and settled herself in the sun just a couple of yards from our garden doors but then became tormented by lice (?) in her tail and then by a buzzing fly - hence her pose here. You can see the sorry state of her tail where she had already been tearing chunks of hair off it. She got more mouthfuls today.
A water droplet experiment using fairy lights as a backdrop. I would say about 70% the intended outcome.
This shot was originally intended to be of a lime capped bottle of Corona beer but the composition and colors just weren't working for me. So I tried a more vibrant colored adult beverage and I liked the result.
The goal of this shot was to line up the horizon of the Gulf of Mexico with the amount of beverage remaining in the bottle. It looked perfect on the camera but I now see that it is a tiny bit off. The tilted composition was done on purpose to add a little fun to the image.
Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

Another image from the visit to North Yorkshire, I hadn't intended to visit this place today but once I had got as far as Winskill I noticed how close I was to Malham and thought it would be rude not to pop over there for an hour... I'd been wanting to come back and shoot Janets Foss as my last visit didn't really give me anything I was happy with, an 'hour' turned into a few hours around the Foss including a trip back to the car to dig out the big wellies for a bit of wading in the river fun... after a dry but somewhat slippery and precarious wade across the river finally settled on this spot for a different take on the falls with a low wide perspective to get the water movement through the frame and including as much of the woodland surroundings as I could, the afternoon light outside of the woodland was getting really nice and warm and was hitting the trees in the upper part of the frame so I wanted to include that too rather than isolating the water from it.
A few hours well spent in this lovely spot, the camera equipment escaped unscathed apart from needing to be dried off, which is more than can be said for my right welly which was filled with water after I didn't pay attention to where I was stepping backwards, but if I don't come home covered in mud or with wet feet I don't feel like I've been out!
The little stopper gave me a time of 18 seconds, no wind outside of the woods kept the trees nice and still through the exposure.

Originally intended as a winter residence for David and Mary Gamble, the three-story Gamble House is commonly described as America's Arts and Crafts masterpiece. Its style shows influence from traditional Japanese aesthetics and a certain California spaciousness born of available land and a permissive climate. The Arts and Crafts Movement in American Craftsman style architecture was focused on the use of natural materials, attention to detail, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.147
