From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith.
“…The" wall working" or fence working, described by Parker as a " fine property," is a system of cheap advertising. Where a portion of a wall or fence, near some public thoroughfare, can be rented or obtained gratuitously, it is covered with an array of boards, which are hung up in the morning and taken in at night. In this instance, the boards covered with thin bills are supplied to Cannon [seated on the right], who hangs them up in the morning and receives about a shilling weekly for each board. But the number of boards afford no clue to the income derived from this mode of advertising, as an indefinite number of dummies are displayed to fill up vacant spaces. The dummies are carefully selected; the advertisements they carry must be as imposing as the names of their owners are respectable. Cannon assured me that it required tact and experience to manage this sort of property. Unfortunately the dummies have been dominant of late, owing to depression in all departments of trade. The result is that the" wall worker's " property produces a return so poor as hardly to repay the pains bestowed on its management.”

Jay and I were in Bahrain for two and a half years while I was teaching at the Bahraini Air Force. I arrived in January of 1989 and we ventured onward to Dubai in the middle of 1991. We lived in several locations during our time on the island.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Photo story:
I´m really kind of surprised by this photo series of the king because of the good resolution on the bird being at 185mm focal length. I am in the try to catch it in flight now so I was waiting for it at a medium zoom. And when it (she, in this case) appeared started to shoot at her quickly and then I extended the zoom while shooting (a technique I´m not used to). And the fact is that I didn´t go to the end don´t know why, really thought I reached 300mm. :D but then pics showed 210mm only at the longest one. And I´m surprised because have been shooting at the same conditions (place, lighting/hour, etc) for some days now all the time at 300mm, and when I´ve seen the resolution at 185mm is really much higher even after cropping. (sure, I knew it, but didn´t expect that much after one year with the D500 and around 6 with the lens). It´s too early in the morning and is a dark place, so I can´t rise aperture value for higher resolution. The image is slightly cropped and used 0,0 sharpening value.

Curious ... I see many people don't add tags and wondered what the reason behind that is?
Thank you to all Flickr friends for visiting, commenting, and/or adding a fave. I always appreciate you.
Not a political statement, but a personal one. I find myself a minority in all of my online communities. So I thought I'd just help define myself further. Take it or leave it.
Plus, I just think this is cool.
(I need to work on my photoshopping...I'm having trouble with layers using my Elements so I have to resort to cut and paste.)
“Life Underground” is a permanent public artwork created in 2001 by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the 14th Street - Eighth Avenue station of the NYC Subway. The installation is a series of whimsical miniature bronze sculptures depicting cartoon like characters showing people and animals in various situations, and additional abstract sculptures, which are dispersed throughout the station platforms and passageways. The sculptor said the subject of the work is "the impossibility of understanding life in New York” and describes the arrangement of the individual pieces as being “scattered in little surprises”
Just to say hello all of you and wish you great short week ahead. I am still going through major workflow reorganisation project:-) so probably would not be around much for the next day or two.
In meantime i won the little group competition here. Which makes me really proud considering wonderful other photos and photogs participating. Thank you Martin for organising such interesting theme!
124/365
It rained yesterday and is still raining. I would normally be ok with rain except for 2 things- 1) water is bad for cameras. 2) it's cold. So this photo is a day old. I have no idea what on earth is going to happen to my 365 once winter starts comming. I do not do well with cold.
(flickr did bad things to this...)
There was a discussion in class, and everyone had their explanation to life. Some were also convinced that theirs was the correct answer. This was my response...
Critique Welcome
Taken for the "Still Life" theme of the 52 Weeks of 2023 group. This is a random Christmas decoration that did not get put away.

Predator, prey and nature's built in alarm system the Blue Jay. My wife and I watched as the chipmunk was snatched in a split second while crossing the trail ahead of us and the blue jay was aggressively diving on the intruder! Screaming the alarm the whole time!
Only in this shot did I happen to catch all three in a single image. Nature's life cycles captured from a distance. The Hawk held still with a strong watchful eye on his food held in his talons and the Blue Jay as he dove past in the background.
I hope you enjoy this split second moment shot and I sure appreciate your support my friends!
God bless out there…
