Encompass, by local sculptor Michael Speller, was inspired by the support given to beneficiaries by the Greenwich Hospital. The interwoven figures, conjure up sailors climbing the rigging of a tall ship, culminate in a domed roof that reference the famous twin domes of Sir Christopher Wren's Royal Naval College.
The piece incorporates "found objects' from the Thames, tools and objects used by craft workers in the market, films set on location in the area here and words, donated by local school children, that are associated with Greenwich. Both objects and text have been impressed upon the figures thereby giving some degree of uniformity to the sculpture.

"There is a beauty in the color brown
Which brings to mind the quiet warmth of sharing.
Earth tones: roots, ground leaf meal, seeds, and soil;
Nuts and bark, broad rivers thick with toil;
Tree trunks in a clearing, nothing wearing,
Yet holding high their interwoven crown."

The osprey looks like a smaller version of the eagle. The bottoms of the feet are covered with spiked scales, which help the bird to grip and hold slippery fish.
The tail is white with alternating bands of white and dark brown. The head is white except for a brown stripe from the eye to the back of the head. Females are slightly larger than males and have darker streaking and a ring of brown spots around the neck. Osprey can be distinguished in flight by the characteristic downward bend or crook in their long narrow wings.
Ospreys are quite common in many parts of Florida – 1,500 to 2,000 pairs were thought to nest in the state in 1983, but their numbers have not been well documented in recent years. When you see an osprey in Florida it may be either a nesting year-around resident, or a bird migrating through the state from northern breeding sites.
Ospreys are usually found near water, primarily large lakes, slow-moving rivers, and coastal areas where trees or man-made structures provide perches or nesting sites. Ospreys feed mainly in mid-morning and late afternoon, hunting either from high perches or by soaring high above the water. When they spot a fish they hover briefly or dive straight into the water - head down, legs, toes and talons extended on either side of the head. During the dive they sometimes completely disappear under the water. Ospreys usually hold fish with both feet. If you watch closely, when they take off after a dive with a fish in their talons, you will often see them move their feet around and change their grip on the fish. They move the fish so that its head is pointing forwards, which reduces the drag.
In south Florida ospreys begin nesting in late November; further north, on Sanibel Island, they start nesting in January, and pairs in north Florida are nesting by late February. The large bulky nest consists of a huge pile of interwoven pile of sticks, lined with soft material such as moss or grass. The nest looks like a bald eagle nest but is smaller.
Osprey usually nest in the tops of tall trees, but in Florida Bay and the offshore islands nests are in low mangroves or even on the ground. Osprey often nest on radio towers, light towers at ball fields and man-made nest platforms. As the number of suitable tall nest trees dwindles, these birds regularly nest on utility poles and many Florida electrical companies have programs to accommodate ospreys.
I found this one along the shore of Kissimmee River in Polk County, Florida.
Blick von Semd zur Veste Otzberg - Odenwald
View from Semd to fortress Otzberg - Odenwald
Otzberg Castle (German: Veste Otzberg) in the German state of Hesse is a medieval castle on the summit of the Otzberg in the Odenwald forest at a height of 367 m above NN. On its northern slopes is the village of Hering, which grew out of the lower ward or castellan's settlement. The history of castle and village is therefore closely interwoven. (Wikipedia)

"Blessing of the Sunset"
In the crimson twilight, a warrior stands steadfast at the edge of a sea of metal, surrounded by sharp reflections and the gleam of steel. Clad in a heavy chainmail mantle, his head shielded by a helmet of interwoven rings, he appears forged from the same unyielding material as the swords around him.
The warrior finds himself on the threshold between light and darkness, and the sun's rays cascade over him, embracing him with a sacred glow. Each beam becomes a promise of courage, every glimmer a shield against the forces of darkness. The sea of metal undulates before him, a cold and relentless expanse, yet under the sun’s blessing, it transforms into a field of light urging him forward without fear.
The swords of iron, pointed toward the enemy, seem to hum under the golden touch of the sunset. They are not merely weapons; they are extensions of his will, carrying within them the brilliance of the sun's final breath. In this moment, the warrior is more than a mere man—he is the living connection between sky and earth, between hope and resolve.
With a slight bow of his head, the warrior receives the sun’s blessing, feeling its warmth like a sacred vow. He knows that the light of the sunset not only shows him the path but empowers him to face the sea of metal and the dark forces that lie ahead. Bathed in this light, he is not alone; he carries with him the glory of the day and the promise of a new dawn
A mesmerizing double exposure capturing the delicate details of a cosmos flower interwoven with vibrant, abstract bokeh colors. This fusion creates a dreamlike vision, where the flower's elegance dances with a cosmic burst of light and hue, evoking a sense of wonder and serenity.
Fruit, veggies, nuts, spices, meat... you name it... the image does not do the ambiance justice... the smells and sounds are just as heady as and interwoven with the sights...
Blooming plumeria I encountered in Surin city.
Plumeria or frangipani (Plumeria rubra) is native to tropical Americas. It is the national flower of Nicaragua.
Plumeria is also popular in the Pacific Islands. Hawaiian Lei has been woven with Plumeria,
It is an important flower in Southeast Asia and Indian Subcontinent in association with Buddhism and Hinduism. It is the national flower of Laos.
It is called Champa in Laos and Thailand, Chompar in Khmer. Champa is also the name of a kingdom once flourished in present-day southern Vietnam.
I have an impression that plumeria is too much interwoven into the traditional cultures in Asia.
There is a flowering plant called Champak (Magnolia champaca) that is native to Southeast Asia and Indian Subcontinent. It is possible that plumeria was first confused with Champak and gradually replaced it.
Some people argue that, like gourd, it may be an evidence of ancient trade between Americas and Pacific Islands before Columbus.
I want to make it clear that the foremost resource is the photographer himself. It is his authentic response to life and his urge to embody it in superb photographic form that is the active root of our esthetics :-)

Today I submitted these images to the Royal Photographic Society Associate Distinctions panel and had them accepted. It was a bit nerve wracking but I've learnt a lot . All the images made over the last couple of years with the Hasselblad 501 and Portra. I wanted to thank everyone who has encouraged and supported me with these, thank you.
As a committed republican there is some joking but such is life.
Mick asked to see my Statement of Intent so here is what I submitted from watching the assessment process I'd say it is quite important to give this some thought, here's my effort.
I have played, walked and just stood still in woods since childhood.
I have sought to portray my local woodlands, all within 20 miles of my home in Leeds, through the seasons. My aim in this collection is to invite the viewer to contemplate the changing colour, texture and forms of these places.
Yorkshire is not known for its wooded areas; coast, moor and dales, yes – woods, no. Yet, hidden in the very steep-sided river valleys which cut through the moors of West and North Yorkshire are wild woods. Largely untouched by humans, these old woods cling precariously to their slopes.
I have tried to embrace the interwoven and intricate patterns of these wild woods as they change, in all their complexity.
Anyone who follows my photostream will know that I am an avid collector of interesting and beautiful objects. Amongst many other things, I love to collect vintage accessories. This includes antique fans. My favourite fans are those from the Victorian and Edwardian era. Fans from these eras are extremely ostentatious and beautiful, but at such advanced age are often very fragile. Such is definitely the case with this fan. This is a Victorian fan of the 1850s made of black silk which has been beautifully hand embroidered with stylised red and purple poppies and blue daisies interwoven with curvaceous leaves in colourful embroidery silks. The fan has been set on hand cut and shaped gilded wooden struts. Potentially embroidered by the woman who originally used this fan as an accessory at a ball or party, the fine workmanship would have promoted this woman as a skilled needlewoman, which in the genteel times of the Nineteenth Century would have been a desirous quality in a jeune fille à marier (a marriageable young woman). Usually being left closed, and kept out of the light, the colours of the embroidery silks are still vibrant, even after one hundred and seventy years.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 19th of November is “man-made leaves”. I used this fan in last week’s “Smile on Saturday” theme of “part of a human face” where my sitter hid partially behind the fan, so you were given a taste as to what the fan looked like. It seemed a shame to not to use it for this week’s theme and show off its rich and colourful embroideries. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
Benten (弁天) or Benzaiten (弁財天 or 弁才天) is an Indian goddess of Sarasvati. She is originally a goddess of river and later regarded as that of eloquence, music, art, knowledge and learning as well as war.
She is often depicted as holding a guitar-like instrument called Veena (India), Pipa (琵琶 China) or Biwa (琵琶 Japan).
In Japan, she is associated with water and fortune and often enshrined by the sea, lake, river and spring. Benten Cave in Hasedera is a natural spring.
She is interwoven into Japanese folk beliefs and enshrined not only in Buddhist temples but also as a Shintou godess. She is a member of the international team of Seven Lucky Gods (七福神) often depicted together on a treasure boat (宝船).
Benten seems to be a popular character for the cosplay thanks to an anime "Urusei Yatsura (うる星やつら)" based on a manga authored by Takahashi Rumiko who is an apparent heiress of Yokai Manga introduced by Mizuki Shigeru.
When it was my birthday two years ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case I am using two of my Dewhurst's Sylko Light Pomegranate reels of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954. The two spools sit on some vintage pale pink satin and are interwoven with some antique ribbon embroidred with pink three week clover leaves. The spools are also accesorised by a dusky pink satin rose and a beautiful German Art Deco half-doll.
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, my German half-doll has a bare torso and is holding a fan, so she would have been made for a lady’s boudoir and was most likely the topper for a jewellery box or powder bowl. She stands at one and three-quarter inches in height and has been hand painted. When I bought her, she was covered in a rather sticky layer of dust, probably accumulated over many years, however a lovely soak in a soapy bath and a soft toothbrush scrub quickly removed the grime and brought back her pale, gleaming beauty.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
Since mushrooms are just reproductive structures, you wonder what they are the reproductive structures of. Microscopic spores fall from the pores and gills of mushrooms such as those pictured above. If environmental conditions are just right, fungal hyphae (HI-fee, the plural of "hypha") emerge from the spore -- like the sprout emerging from a seed. These hyphae form a webby mass of typically white, interwoven, threadlike filaments known collectively as mycelium. Each individual, threadlike filament of the mycelium is known as a hypha (HI-fah), plural hyphae (HI-fee). This mycelium composed of hyphae does the organism's day-to-day work of breaking down and acquiring the fungus's food from humus in the soil, or decaying wood or some other substance. In other words, though usually mycelium isn't even noticed by most people, it's actually the fungus organism's body. Then when conditions are right the mycelium mass forms a budlike structure someplace and from this emerges the mushroom. The mycelium does the fungus's work, and the mushrooms enable to fungus organism to reproduce by producing spores.
Le denim, contraction de « de Nîmes », est une toile de coton à armure de sergé avec un petit motif oblique caractéristique, tissée dans la ville de Nîmes dès 1557.
C'est le tissu utilisé notamment pour la confection des pantalons et des vestes en jeans. Le tissage très serré est fabriqué à partir d'une chaîne teinte en bleu (blu di genova) et d'une trame écrue ou blanche. Les fils de trame sont entrelacés à un angle de 90 degrés avec les fils de chaîne.

Le village de Saint-Chély-Du-Tarn se trouve sur la commune de Sainte-Enimie en Lozère.
Ce petit village niché dans un coude des gorges du Tarn est d'une exceptionnelle beauté.
Situé sur la rive gauche du Tarn, l'accès au village se fait par un petit tunnel puis par un grand pont élégant à une seule arche construit entre 1880 et 1900.
On arrive ainsi au village à l’allure féérique : le village surplombe la rivière aux reflets émeraudes tandis que deux cascades surgissent d’entre les maisons et s’y jettent près de la plage réputée chez les baigneurs.
Ces deux résurgences, une traversant le village en formant un ruisseau et la seconde s'échappant d'une grotte, tombent toutes deux en cascades dans le tarn et lui donnent un charme inégalé.
Ce n’est pas pour rien que le village est réputé comme étant un des plus beaux villages des Gorges du Tarn.
L'eau y est omniprésente, grâce aux sources et aux canaux qui viennent se jeter dans le Tarn, en formant de grandes cascades.
Son charme réside aussi dans ses petites ruelles tortueuses, ses maisons en pierre étroitement mêlées, et le calme serein qui se dégage de l'ensemble.
Son église romane, sa chapelle semi-troglodytique, son moulin et ses ruelles vous invitent à faire une halte.
En saison estivale la découverte du village se fait en soirée, agrémentée d'un son et lumières qui mettent en valeur la beauté du cirque merveilleux aux gigantesques falaises.
The village of Saint-Chély-Du-Tarn is located in the commune of Sainte-Enimie in Lozère.
This small village nestled in a bend of the Tarn Gorges is of exceptional beauty.
Located on the left bank of the Tarn, access to the village is via a small tunnel and then a large, elegant single-arch bridge built between 1880 and 1900.
This leads to the magical-looking village: the village overlooks the emerald-coloured river while two waterfalls emerge from between the houses and flow into it near the beach, which is popular with swimmers. These two resurgences, one crossing the village forming a stream and the second escaping from a cave, both cascade into the Tarn and give it an unrivalled charm.
It is not for nothing that the village is renowned as one of the most beautiful villages in the Tarn Gorges.
Water is omnipresent, thanks to the springs and canals that flow into the Tarn, forming large waterfalls.
Its charm also lies in its small winding streets, its closely interwoven stone houses, and the serene calm that emanates from the whole.
Its Romanesque church, its semi-troglodyte chapel, its mill and its alleys invite you to stop.
In the summer season, the discovery of the village takes place in the evening, embellished with a sound and light show that highlights the beauty of the marvelous cirque with gigantic cliffs.

The gold-painted carving is a guardian Nat for Shwenandaw Kyaung.
Nats are the spirits of an animistic belief that is interwoven with Buddhism in Myanmar.
Shwenandaw Kyaung is a monastery in Mandalay, which is decorated with marvellous wood carvings that used to be gilded.
It is an edifice moved from the Mandalay palace. It is the only surviving architecture of the palace as the royal complex was completely incinerated by the allied force bombings during the WW II.
This is a supplement to the photos taken during the Myanmar trip in 2012 that visited Mandalay and Shan State a.c.a. Golden Triangle.

The medieval town of Pitigliano in the southern area of Tuscany is one of its most beautiful hill-top towns. Carved from "Tufaceous" (volcanic stone), the town of Pitigliano sits upon one of the suggestive tuff spurs, conferring a unique beauty to the town landscape. It seems to have emerged completely from the rock on which it rises above the valley, with the houses here interwoven with the stones on which they are built.

I took this from inside the café at Mottisfont Abbey. We went to see the Christmas decorations based this year on a poem:
“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
I only know the first two lines but the rest can easily be found online. There is some dispute as to the ownership of the poem.
The staff at Mottisfont have cleverly interwoven the verses into their Christmas displays.

I was driving on the backroads between Vegreville and Mundare, Alberta, with Sandra Herber when we came upon some abandoned farm buildings that had been finished with a wattle and daub plaster. That mud, straw and interwoven sticks seem to be all that's holding these buildings up.
From the tree trunk in two increased branches curl round into each other -becoming interwoven...
Thanks for all my flickr friends the visites, kind commentes... :o)
What stuck me in this scene was the presence of the elements reaching forward toward the viewer against the block elements horizontally across the back of the frame. —- and the clarity (which should not be confused with sharpness) communicates well through that organization and crisp bright light and interwoven colors.
SOOC
A couple of hours at Greylake in, on the whole, dull and overcast conditions.
At one point two peregrine falcons were causing absolute and utter mayhem on the reserve - one of the birds flew directly at me and over the hide - however the light was so poor there's nothing worth posting.
The ducks were moving in such tight groups and staying very low - in this shot they almost seem interwoven the flock is so tight. This is mainly wigeon and teal - there is a lone female shoveler in there as well I think.
The light is so utterly critical with these shots - got a great shot of a long, tight group of shoveler however the light doesn't do it any favours.
Go Large
They construct it in a bush or in the fork of a tree, from moss, camouflaged with lichen with interwoven cobwebs and sometimes bits of paper stuck on the outside. To make the inside cosy for the eggs and chicks, a feather lining is added. They need a lot of feathers - as many as 1,500
Fabric is all about interwoven connections--as is human life.

I feel myself dying in you, overtaken by expanding
spaces, which feed on me just like hungry butterflies.
I close my eyes and I’m laid out in your memory, barely alive,
with my mouth wide open and the river of oblivion rising.
And you, patiently, with needle-nosed pliers, pul out
my teeth, my eyelashes, you strip
the clover from my voice, the shade from my desire,
you open up windows of space in my name
and blue holes in my chest
through which the summers rush out in mourning.
Transparent, sharpened, interwoven with air
I float in a drowse, and still
I say your name and wake you, anguished.
But you force yourself to forget me,
and I’m barely a bubble
reflecting you, which you’ll burst
with the blink of an eye.
