This is probably a bit unorthodox, but I'm posting photos of Coco, our furry friend in Key West Florida. These photos are from the first year we met Coco.
This is Coco. She is the resident cat at the Blue Parrot Inn, where we stayed (except for the last day). Taken by Ron.
My name is VAN, I’m 40 years old and I’m from Vietnam. I’m a artist, I’m performance artist. I’m hire to the people to profile their fantasies, their DEEP. DARK. FANTASIES - to finally sort out all of their parts. I was gonna be a LEGO designer, you know, with modelling and constructing. After the hundred and two additions and small parts, you know, I’m decide and deny, I had enough, when I’m getting to freelance work.
The clients telling a request a lot of… Am… Pieces. So. Im just decide to go, you know, FULL MASTER, and - change my hold-tire house into DUNGEON, I’m DUNGEON MASTER, I with a FULL DUNGEON of cassette-storing boxes for parts in my house, and it’s go very well!
SORTING IS THREE HUNDRED STUDS. And usually I’m have to work hard so that dude really relaxes and easily finds the right parts. I have a SEPARATOR that saved my FINGERS from being permanently STUCK IN DAT PIECES. I use LATEX GLOVE, which stretches all the way to the armpit, so as not to dirty the details once again. It's a long process: putting your hand in there, in a bag with a bunch of half-disassembled kits, but it gives more pleasure to another person, I think for me too. Let it be more difficult physically for your hand, but for some reason it brings more emotions, more feelings between you, you guess together from which sets certain details are, think about their future use in MOCs, remember a series of past years, you know, it's really strange, at the same time I find these sessions quite exhausting.
I don't know, I feel like I'm naked, because I'm looking at myself for the first time, well, not really at myself, at this part of life for the first time - some guy is digging into children's toys. It been harsh, I hadn't thought about it for about three or five years.
Some kind of sadness, I do not know why sadness and because of what...
decluttr, it really does matter with this one

Hall i' th' Wood is an early 16th-century manor house in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. It is a Grade I listed building and is currently used as a museum by Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council. It was the manor house for the moiety of the Tonge with Haulgh township held by the Brownlows in the 16th century. The original building is timber framed and has a stone flagged roof; there were later additions to the house, built from stone, in 1591 and 1648. The name represents "Hall in the Wood' spoken in the local regional English dialect.
The house was not used as a gentry house but rather given over to multiple occupation by families engaged in industry. Four (previously five) separate dwellings can be identified, each with its own entrance and staircase. One part was let to Samuel Crompton during the 18th century, where he designed and built the first spinning mule. About 1779, Crompton succeeded in producing a mule-jenny, a machine which spun yarn suitable for use in the manufacture of muslin. It was known as the muslin wheel or the Hall i' th' Woodwheel[5] from the name of the house.
Hall i' th' Wood was bought by William Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) in 1899 and was restored by Jonathan Simpson and Edward Ould. Lever gave the house to the Corporation of Bolton in 1900.
An episode of the television programme Most Haunted was filmed in the hall in 2008.
This is the restaurant at the Swarovski Museum in Wattens, Austria. It was a clear evening with the sun sinking behind the mountains to the west but reflected beautifully on the windows of the restaurant. It was a calm and beautiful evening.

La vieille charité is a former almshouse, now functioning as a museum and cultural centre, situated in the heart of Le Panier, the most ancient quarter of Marseille (Provence, France). Constructed between 1671 and 1749 in the Baroque style to the designs of the architect Pierre Puget, it comprises four ranges of arcaded galleries in three storeys surrounding a space with a central chapel surmounted by an ovoid dome.
La Vieille charité, située au cœur du quartier du Panier dans le 2e arrondissement de Marseille, dans le quartier officiel des Grands-Carmes, est un bâtiment édifié au xviie siècle, sur les plans de Pierre Puget pour abriter les indigents et les pauvres de la ville.
L\'hospice est représentatif de l\'architecture du xviie siècle, en particulier du fait de la présence de la superbe chapelle de Puget et de sa coupole ovoïde.
Aujourd\'hui, elle abrite de nombreuses structures telles que le Centre international de poésie Marseille (cipM), la Direction des musées de Marseille et plusieurs musées municipaux (le Musée d\'archéologie méditerranéenne, le Musée d’Arts Africains, Océaniens, Amérindiens), une salle de conférence (Le Miroir), une librairie, l\'école doctorale de l\'EHESS et le Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), ainsi que plusieurs fonds bibliothécaires spécialisés et des expositions temporaires.

We needed to shoot some close up, beauty type shots for her book.
This took me about 1.5-2 hours to edit and process. I tried the dodge and burn technique to smooth skin. it's way better (and cleaner) than just blurring skin and then adding noise afterword. this takes time but is far more satisfying IMO. Really makes me want to get a Wacom.

This is the Hale House, originally built in 1885, now part of the Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles, together with some other 19th century mansions, most of which would otherwise have been razed to make room for shopping centres or other modern conveniences.
Apart from that open air museum, there are at least two places that I know of where rows of old houses still stand and are inhabited.

Staindrop is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) north east of Barnard Castle, on the A688 road. According to the 2011 UK Census the population was 1,310, this includes the hamlets of Cleatlam and Killerby.
Around the year 1018, King Canute gave the manors of Raby and Staindrop to Durham Priory. In 1131 Prior Algar granted the manor to an Anglo-Saxon named Dolfin "son of Uhtred", the earliest recorded direct male ancestor of the great Neville family which built as their seat Raby Castle in the north part of the manor. The grant was possibly merely a confirmation of the holding by this family from before the Norman Conquest of 1066. When doing homage to the Prior for his holding he reserved his homage to the kings of England and of Scotland and to the Bishop of Durham and was "no doubt a man of consequence", probably an aristocratic Northumbrian of high birth. In February 1203-4 King John confirmed to the prior and convent all their privileges and vast possessions, including "Staindrop and Staindropshire with the church".
The village has two schools, Staindrop Church of England Primary School with approximately to 170 pupils aged 3–11, and Staindrop Academy, a coeducational secondary school with over 500 pupils aged 11–16, which also houses a community gym, opened in 2020.[
The last remaining public house, The Wheatsheaf is a former coaching inn, former pubs include The Black Swan, and The Royal Oak. Other amenities in the village include a SPAR convenience store, a newsagent housing the local post office, tea rooms, hairdressers and several holiday cottages.
The Staindrop Carnival, an annual parade and fair, celebrated its centenary in 2020.[22] The village football team, Staindrop F.C. play in the Darlington Sunday invitation league, an affiliate of the Durham County Football Association in 2020-2021 they completed a famous double by winning the Alan Rusk trophy as well as the league cup. Raby Castle Cricket Club play in the Darlington & District Cricket League A, having remained unbeaten and winning the league title in the 2019 season

Unfinished Buddha is the name given to a statue which is believed to have originated from the largest stupa of Borobudur. It is currently located in Karmawibhangga Museum.
The Unfinished Buddha is so-called because of its incomplete nature; the hands of the statue are not fully carved, the right arm is longer than the left and one of the shoulders is bigger than the other.
The large central stupa that crowns the Borobudur monument has a hollow chamber within, that is completely walled off from the outside. When opened during the monument's restoration, it was found to contain an unfinished Buddha image that may represent a transcendent spiritual state.
Although the original location of the statue has been a matter of dispute, it is now appears that the statue was probably originally in the stupa: there is, however, a possibility that it might not have been established there as a religiously significant item. Some scholars argue that the statue is unfinished because it was deemed flawed. Rather than destroy a Buddha statue, the supervisor of the project may have placed it in the stupa simply to get rid of it.
From 1907 to 1911, Theodore Van Erp supervised the restoration of Borobudur. He found the main stupa was empty, but discovered the Unfinished Buddha buried in the dirt inside it. For there was no proof about its origin at the time, Van Erp had it put under a pili tree next to the temple. He believed that those statue was a failed one and was thrown away. His opinion was supported by Prof. Soekmono in 1973, because the statue was never mentioned in the time of Borobudur's recovery in the era of Raffles in 1814.
Van Erp's action didn't go without negative critics by some archeologists, they commented that he should put it back inside the stupa instead of leaving it outside the temple. According to Bernard Kempers, those statue was intentional left unfinished, and from the Chinese record of 604 CE, there was a same misshaped Buddha statue in India.
In 1994, Prof. Soekmono wrote an archeological journal in which he told the true reason why he didn't put the statue back inside the main stupa. The reason is that they would have had to partially dismantle the stupa which was restored by Van Erp, and that that action would clash with the spirit of reconstruction of that time. But he believed that the misshaped statue was indeed originated from the inside of the main stupa. Based on Serat Centhini chapter 105 verses 8–9, Prof. Soekmono found a story about the statue. One night, Mas Cebolang, the main character of Serat Centhini, was sleeping next to the main stupa of Borobudur and saw a big Buddha statue which was unfinished. Cebolang asked why there was the unfinished statue in the top, and he considered that those statue was intentionally left broken.
I found a couple jumping spiders in my house the other day so before putting them outside I fed them some lunch in exchange for a litlte photo shoot with them. I dont like sending my guest away hungry! By the way, that is a tiny spider that this spider is eating =0)
This is John Lippincott. He has been visiting Scotland on a tour of the locations used in the 1972 horror film - The Wicker Man. He has had a film crew with him whilst here. Last night, a group of us gathered together on the cliffs at Burrowhead near the Isle of Whithorn. A small Wicker Man was burned and we all sang ‘Summer is a coming in.’ A fitting tribute to do this on May Day in the exact spot where the original Wicker Man was burnt.
Well this is Banjo and my 52 weeks dog for 2010.
Now for a little about Banjo.
He is a little live wire with lots of energy to burn being a cattle dog mix. What he's mixed with we have no idea, we think a bully breed like Bull Terrier because of his long face but then again he has really long legs.
He is extremely smart and a fast learner. We adopted him back in September when he was just 7 weeks. He's had food aggression issues which we've been working on for a while and he's improving with great strides.
So please welcome my baby Banjo to the 52 weeks group :)
It took me a few tries to get this picture and I think I lay in dog poo too but I'm happy with how it came out.
Explore January 5th. Thanks everyone!
With Walkers spotted marching towards the wall and dragonglass dagger at the ready, Christopher's steely look says, "Winter is here!"
(Yes, I'm quite ready for the next season of "Game of Thrones" to start...)
One of the downsides of a road trip during the fall and winter seasons is that daylight is short. So you have less time to spare at each vista point for photography. By the time I reached Badwater from the outskirt of Death Valley, the sun has already gone down behind Telescope and Wildrose Peaks. I only had a short time to find my own spot to take a long exposure photo of the salt flats. The clean looking ones with perfect hexagon patterns are way way out from the parking lot. In addition, traversing these salt flats during the twilight is quite hazardous as most of their crusts are pushed up from the thermal expansion during the day making it easy to trip people if they are not careful. To add to the challenge, there were quite a few photographers out there and they might walk into your frame. I remember I have wandered for almost half an hour just to find a decent spot to take the shot without anybody "photobombing" my subjects. I was a bit lucky to get this shot when a car passed by in the distance leaving a light trail.
This is my son's first real smile!

Hindeloopen is an old city on the North of the Netherlands on the IJsselmeer. Hindeloopen received city rights in 1225 and in 1368 it became a member of the Hanseatic League. Since the 12th and 13th century, shippers of Hindeloopen undertook journeys to the North and Baltic Sea Coasts. The strong overseas connections with foreign countries and infrequent contact with the hinterland were probably the reasons for the developing of the Hindeloopen language; a mixture of West Frisian, English, Danish, and Norwegian. The shipping trade brought the population of Hindeloopen a great prosperity. The 17th and 18th century were especially golden times. At that time, the people of Hindeloopen spent a lot of money in Amsterdam on precious fabrics and objects, which were supplied through the Dutch East India Company. The rich town developed in those days her own costume and a completely individual style with colorful painted walls and furniture. In the small streets some sea captains houses remind of this time of glory.
Norwegen / Nordland - Helgelandskysten
Ã…gskardet
Helgeland is the most southerly district in Northern Norway. Generally speaking, Helgeland refers to the part of Nordland county that is located south of the Arctic Circle. It is bordered in the north by the Saltfjellet mountains and Svartisen glacier, which form a natural border with the Salten district. In the south, Helgeland borders Trøndelag county.
The district covers an area of about 18,832 square kilometres (7,271 sq mi), with nearly 79,000 inhabitants. There are four towns in the district: from south to north these are Brønnøysund, Mosjøen, Sandnessjøen, and Mo i Rana.
Name
The Old Norse form of the name was Hálogaland (see Hålogaland).
Geography
Helgeland is commonly divided into three or four sections:
Southern Helgeland (actually southwest), which consists of the municipalities Bindal, Sømna, Brønnøy, Vega and Vevelstad.
Central Helgeland, which is sometimes further divided into the regions:
Inner Helgeland, which consists of the municipalities Grane, Hattfjelldal and Vefsn.
Outer Helgeland, which consists of the municipalities Leirfjord, Alstahaug, Herøy and Dønna.
Northern Helgeland, which consists of the municipalities Hemnes, Rana, Nesna, Lurøy, Træna and Rødøy.
Helgeland is characterized by pointed mountains and Strandflaten, a shallow lowland area, sometimes just above the sea surface, and sometimes just below the surface. People living on the coast have settled on this lowland (while inland towns, such as Mo and Mosjøen, are situated in valleys). A consequence of the Strandflaten is thousands of islands, and shallow waters going far into the sea. This has provided some shelter from stormy weather, which might occur in winter. Some islands are fairly large, often with unique mountains, such as Torghatten, De syv søstre (The Seven Sisters), Hestmannen, Rødøyløva (in Rødøy), Dønnamannen (picture), and Træna. There are several sea bird colonies, such as Lovund with thousands of puffins. The Solvær Islands (Solværøyene) in Lurøy consists of about 300 small and flat islands and has the highest densities of Eurasian eagle-owls in Europe.
The highest mountains, are located inland, where Oksskolten is the highest mountain in Northern Norway. There are many valleys inland, such as the Dunderland Valley, Vefsndalen, and Hattfjelldal. Røssvatnet is the second largest lake in Norway. There are three large national parks in Helgeland: Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park (partly), Børgefjell National Park (partly), and Lomsdal–Visten National Park (created in May 2009).
Cultural references
Helgeland is the scene for Henrik Ibsen's 1857 historical play "The Vikings at Helgeland" (Hærmændene paa Helgeland), whose plot takes place at this region during the time of Erik Blood-axe (c. 930–934).
Helgeland Kammerkor, a mixed choir with members from all parts of Helgeland, have recorded an album of folk music from Helgeland (Folketoner fra Helgeland, 2005). The album contains 27 folk tunes from Helgeland, recorded in collaboration with folk musicians from the area. The album was recorded in Alstahaug Church, a 900-year-old stone church located near Sandnessjøen.

Ågskardet is a village in Meløy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the southern side of the Holandsfjorden, about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) north of the village of Tjong (in neighboring Rødøy Municipality). There were 127 inhabitants in 2008.
The village lies along Norwegian County Road 17, with a ferry connection to a port, just west of the village of Halsa. The ferry is the only connection to the rest of Meløy Municipality to the north. The village is situated just north of the border with Rødøy Municipality. The village has its own school, chapel/community centre, and some private companies.

Helgeland (im Mittelalter Hålogaland) ist eine Landschaft im Norden Norwegens, die heute den südlichen Teil des Fylkes Nordland bis zum Saltfjellet umfasst. Die Region hat 78.400 Einwohner und eine Fläche von 17.936 km². Die Region hat ungefähr 15.000 Inseln.
Im Mittelalter bezeichnete HÃ¥logaland das gesamte Territorium nördlich von Trøndelag und war vor der Christianisierung Norwegens ein selbständiges Königreich, das auch den größten Teil von Troms umfasste und sich zeitweilig bis in das von Samen dominierte Gebiet (Finnmark, Schwedisch-Lappland, Nord-Finnland und Nordwest-Russland) erstreckte. HÃ¥logaland nimmt einen hervorragenden Platz in den Sagas ein. Die Göttinnen Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr und Irpa der JómsvÃkinga saga stammen wahrscheinlich aus Hálogaland und wurden wohl vor allem dort verehrt. Der vermutlich bekannteste Einwohner HÃ¥logalands war der Seefahrer und Kaufmann Ottar, dessen Bericht über seine Heimat einen Platz in Alfreds des Großen Ãœbersetzung der Weltgeschichte des Orosius fand.
Der Name stammt nicht von derselben Wurzel wie heilig, wie es schon Adam von Bremen behauptete, sondern von einer Volksbezeichnung háleygir. In Snorri Sturlusons Jüngerer Edda wird er von einem mythischen König Holgi abgeleitet. Holgi wiederum soll ein Nachfolger von Odins Sohn Sæming (Säming) gewesen sein.
Die jüngere Form des Namens findet sich ab 1380, die ältere besteht weiter in den Namen der Bistümer Sør-Hålogaland (Nordland) und Nord-Hålogaland (Troms und Finnmark) und im Namen des Obergerichtes (Hålogaland lagmannsrett), das für die drei nördlichen Provinzen Nordland, Troms und Finnmark sowie für Spitzbergen zuständig ist.
In Helgeland befand sich bei Bratland und der Insel Aldra ein Sender des Omega-Funknavigationssystems. In der Nähe von Bratland befindet sich auch der Marinesender JXN, der wie einst der Omegasender eine Drahtantenne verwendet, die über einen Fjord gespannt wurde.

Spring is making its way into Lapland slowly but surely. Weather is getting warmer day by day and long gone are the days with only few hours of daylight. Unfortunately, also trees have lost their beautiful snow-cover.
My two personal favorite times of the year in Lapland are fall colors and mid-winter. Still, there is something magical about the spring.

The title is the motto of the BBC.
The BBC was founded in 1922. I was awoken this morning with thoughts of how the BBC should be funded, the purpose of the national broadcaster, and what do I want from it. And then, how much is it worth to me.
These days , I only listen to Radio 3. The news programs I find selective and usually shallow. The regional channels are irrelevant to me. I don't watch TV. The World Service is OK. I seldom use the website.
Currently TV owners pay an annual licence fee that generates 3 billion Pounds of revenue to the BBC. Their annual budget is about 5 billion.
The radio has been a lifelong friend. There was a radio licence in UK until 1971. How much would that be today if reintroduced?
Should I just switch to Radio New Zealand Concert and be done with it?!
I wonder how other countries fund their Public Service Broadcasters.

He became a legend for his pranks while being part of the house Epsilon rho rho. He then took up a successful career in bending Girders but tried to kill himself when he found out they were for suicide booths. He was saved by Fry and later took up the job of ships cook at Planet Express. His other pastimes include watching TV, smoking cigars and stealing. To be able to function properly he needs the chemical energy from alcohol, so excessive drinking is mandatory or he will become sober and unable to control his body. Magnets stuck to his head make him sing like a folk singer.
