I was so very sad to hear of your passing tonight.
You were such a gift, your talent will leave a wide gap in the literary world and will be sadly missed.
One of my favourite songs:
There are so many renditions of this song by many artists, it is just so beautiful.

At number 6 you will find "Centrespace" an independent and sustainable community of artists and craftspeople offering both studio space, workshops, events and a gallery space for hire. The building was originally occupied by artists in the late 1970’s and has been running as a co-operative since 1987.
Leonard lane a medieval thoroughfare following the inner line of the City walls. The double yellow lines indicate that it still retains full highway status, although at the Corn Street end it is probably less than 1 metre wide.
Le Clos Lucé (37), dernière demeure de Léonard de Vinci.
À l'invitation de François 1er, Léonard de Vinci passe les trois dernières années de sa vie au Château du Clos Lucé. Il travaille à de nombreux projets et s'y éteint le 2 mai 1519 (500 ans).
De la chambre aux salles Renaissance, en passant par la cuisine de sa servante Mathurine et les salles d'exposition de 40 fabuleuses machines, la visite du château permet de partager l'intimité du génie de la Renaissance.
Dans le parc et le jardin, on découvre au cœur de la nature les créations artistiques et les inventions majeures du génie italien.
En tant que maison de Léonard de Vinci, le Château du Clos Lucé fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des Monuments Historiques depuis 1862.
The stunning church by Bartley Green Reservoir
The church dates from the 15th century. It was altered around 1751 when the wooden tower was rebuilt in stone, restored in 1873 and there were other alterations and additions 1931 – 1932 by Bateman. There was another restoration in 1947 following a fire.
The tower main arch has a hood mould with head stops depicting King George V and Queen Mary.
The building is constructed from sandstone in a red and grey colour, until 1965 the tower contained two bells.[2] A new church hall was constructed in 2005

The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
[T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats]

J'ai ressorti mon vieux Pentax Q, celui avec lequel j'ai commencé la photographie. Malgré ses limitations, il offre une discrétion hors pair pour capturer des images d'inconnus dans la rue.
Comet Leonard on the 27th December 2021, as seen from the west coast of Tasmania. The comet was visible to the naked eye from this location, and this image is processed to match the view that I had in 8x42 binoculars (through which I could see 3 degrees of tail).
I didn't have my tracking mount with me, so I stacked 100 x 0.5 sec exposures with a 200mm telephoto lens at f/4 and 6400 iso.
Leonard of Limoges was a wealthy noble who lived during the rule of Clovis I (c. 466 – 511) who was the first King of the Franks. The Frankish people were West Germanic tribes who worshipped the pagan gods introduced by the Romans. Clovis I was converted to Christianity at Christmas 496 by Saint Remigius (c. 437–533) the Bishop of Rheims and Apostle of the Franks after the help of God was invoked to repel an invading army. Leonard was converted to Christianity at the same time as Clovis. He made the decision to adopt a life devoted to God and was offered the position of a bishop which de declined. The highest dignity that Leonard would accept was that of a deacon. King Clovis promised that any worthy prisoner converted to Christianity by Leonard would be released and Leonard was given the right to liberate worthy prisoners on behalf of King Clovis. Leonard entered the monastery at Micy near Orleans and then became a hermit in the forest of Limousin attracting many followers. Leonard was granted royal lands at Noblac, near Limoges, where he founded the abbey of Noblac.

El cometa Leonard esta comportándose como un cometa increíble en el hemisferio sur , lo que me ha animado a fotografiarlo con un telescopio remoto sito en la granja Hakos, en Namibia. Imagen tomada el 31 de diciembre de 2021 desde el hemisferio sur con un telescopio remoto de 20" y una cámara monocroma FLI 16803 CCD. La imagen esta compuesta de 15 tomas de 90" con filtros RGB.

Comet Leonard is behaving like an incredible comet in the southern hemisphere, which has encouraged me to photograph it with a remote telescope located at the Hakos farm in Namibia. Taken on December 31, 2021 from the southern hemisphere with a 20 " remote telescope and a FLI 16803 CCD monochrome camera. The image is composed of 15 shots of 90" with RGB filters.

My personal tribute to one of the greatest musicians...Leonard Cohen (1934 -2016)
I'm not good with a brush or pen so I've chosen the type of painting I try my hand at from time to time.
It was difficult for me to choose the music because the list of favorite songs is not short.

Leonard has gone to the Tower Of Song

☄️ Comète Leonard en approche 😱.

J'étais obligé de la faire celle là ! J'ai tellement apprécié Neowise l'année dernière qu'il fallait que j'aille photographier la comète Leonard.
.
Elle aura attendu le dernier mois de l'année pour pointer le bout de son nez . Mais quel spectacle encore !!
.
Il est désormais possible de la voir à l'œil nu dans des bonnes conditions. Encore faut-il que la météo vous le permette. Et elle m'en a donné du fil à retordre la météo... Plus d'une semaine a check les nuages chaque nuit/aube parfois en mettant un réveil en pleine nuit (😂😭). Le ciel étant tellement couvert, il m'a fallu 2 sessions différentes pour accumuler assez de temps de pose. Un peu plus d'une heure d'expo au total pour ne garder que 35mn au final. Le pic de visibilité sera sans doute le 12 décembre mais aucune certitude si la météo me permettra de retourner shooter la comète une dernière fois.
.
Comme l'année précédente, j'ai voulu trouver un spot fort de la région pour immortaliser ce moment. En cherchant une orientation Nord-Est, j'ai alors choisi le mémorial de Vimy qui s'est proposé à moi comme une évidence. C'est un lieu que j'aime particulièrement et que je n'avais pas encore photographié 🇨🇦.

Even though this is not the shot I had in mind, I am still pleased that we were at least able to find and see the comet Leonard. It was not visible to the naked eye at the time, so we just trusted the directions for the correct location and hoped that something would show up in the camera. I still was not able to see it as I was looking through the lens, but was thrilled when I zoomed in and saw that it was indeed there. Really felt lucky because right after the sun came up the clouds rolled in. This was taken with an 85mm lens at F2.
