CC September Rainbow Challenge: Yellow
Saturday Self Challenge; Yellow
I thought I'd challenge myself to a still life this week, but the results were less than inspiring. Instead, this little Paper Daisy just fitted the theme nicely.
Paper daisies (and sometimes called strawflowers) are Australian native annuals which carry papery, long‑lasting flowers in a range of colours. The blooms have exceptional longevity and are valued in fresh or dried arrangements.
In ideal climates they will grow wild, carpeting the landscape with their blooms. We were privileged to see these on our travels last year - a sight to behold.
Lar city is one of the ancient cities in Fars ostan (province) - Iran, which was destroyed by an earthquake at 12:14 (UTC) on April 24, 1960. But a number of valuable old monuments of the city remained standing after the earthquake , and later some of them were restored
1-Azhdeha Peykar Castle (Dragon Body Castle) is a historical castle located in Larestan County in Fars Province, The longevity of this fortress dates back to the Sasanian Empire
2-Tomb of Nader Shah's mother was built in 15 or 16th centuries , The tower attributed to the tomb of Nader Shah's mother and included a tomb and prayer room , But it is not clear who is buried in this tomb
شهر لار یکی از شهرهای باستانی استان فارس می باشد که متاسفانه در سال 1339 بر اثر زلزله آسیب فراوان دید. اما تعدادی از آثار با ارزش قدیمی این شهر پس از گذشت زلزله خوشبختانه سرپا ماندند که بعدها برخی از آنها بازسازی شدند
لازم به ذکر است که شهر لار بعد از زلزله به دو بخش جدید و قدیم تقسیم شدند که بخش قدیم با مهندسی روز و با شهرسازی مناسب به همراه خانه های مقاوم ساخته شدند ولی دلبستگی مرد و بخصوص کسبه به بازار باعث شد که قسمت قدیم نیز کم کم بازسازی شوند
دو اثر تاریخی دژ اژدها پیکر که یادگاری از دوران ساسانی است و آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادر شاه که قدمت آن به دوره تیموری و یا اوایل صفویه بر میگردد از جاذبه های تاریخی شهر هستند
به دلیل اهمیت دژ این قلعه تا قرنها بعد از دوران ساسانی، نیز استفاده میشده و امروزه به دلیل زلزله ها و جنگهای مختلف و البته کم توجهی مسئولین میراث فرهنگی شرایط خوبی ندارد. در حالیکه اگر این دژ مرمت شود میتواند به یکی از جاذبه های مهم ایران تبدیل شود .
آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادرشاه اگر چه مشخص نیست که آرامگاه چه کسی بوده ولی بر اساس باورهای محلی این آرامگاه متعلق به مادر نادرشاه بوده که به شکل عامیانه "ننه نادر شاه" گفته میشود
این آرامگاه بر روی یک سکوی سنگی (لاشه سنگ) ساخته شده و احتمالا در گذشته های دور یکی از چهارطاقی های شهر لار بر روی این سکو وجود داشته ولی بعد ها و با تخریب آن آتشکده این آرامگاه زیبا ساخته شده که از دو قسمت مقبره و نماز خانه ستوندار در زیر آن تشکیل شده است
The morning sun just reaches this vintage suspension walking bridge in the Richfield County Park, part of the Genesee County Parks. This little gem of a bridge was built in 1938 via the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal economic recovery program. It continues to be a magnet for senior high school pictures and weddings.

There's this new thing: longevity. And ice bathing is one of the hottest trends in that respect. It is supposed to boost our resilience, strength, clarity of mind, and more. Ice bathing does it all. Or does it really? I'm not sure, because I've never tried it. But this little guy has, a few times since last night, and look how happy it has made him. Maybe, just maybe, he has taken things a little too far, but he keeps assuring me that he feels gorgeous. "Put me back into the freezer, it's much too warm in your place!" So I did.
Well, there are century-old traditions like the Finnish sauna or other bathing traditions that combine hot and cold treatments, so there probably is something to ice bathing. Maybe I will dig deeper into the issue once Mr. Bones is defrosted so he can tell me all about it. Maybe I will also defrost him in warm water to give him the full experience, because before I put him in the ice bath and froze him, he never complained about it "being too warm" in my place. We'll see.
I seriously had no idea what to put into water to freeze. Actually, I could have put anything into the ice cube mould, and then simply taken a decent photo of it, but, as usual, this freedom of choice blocked me out. Until I found Mr. Bones while searching for the skull mould I had already used for another ice theme. The ice cube mould was just a little too small for this mini Lego figure, so I put him in an egg holder that also made a nice round ice cube shape.
I did focus stacking (in camera, 15 images, combined in Helicon Focus, method A, R8, S4). For the green light, I placed the green bottle in front of one of the LED lamps and put a silvery "reflector" (cardboard) on the opposite side of that lamp. To make the ice glow, I used two LED flashlights, set on spot, one placed behind the ice cube, and the other placed in front of it. The fourth light source was my natural light photo lamp from above.
HMM, Everyone!
The camellia flower speaks to the heart and expresses positive feelings: desire and passion, refinement and excellence, faithfulness and longevity. The camellia flower’s message is one of love and positive thoughts.
(In Victorian England the camellia bloom sent the secret message that the recipient was adorable:)

There is now 10 cm's of fresh snow here at Keefer Lake. The temperatures are predicted to hover around zero in the coming week and only getting colder thereafter ... so ... it is official ... winter has arrived. I love all of our seasons (including winter) however, winter is the longest season by far (the ice forms on the lake in November and isn't gone until May). Thank goodness for Portugal! :)

I found this shot in Canary Wharf in London. Its a shot of two busses looking down towards One Canada Square the tallest building in Canary Wharf.
The Mountain Ash trees in the Dandenong Ranges and other trees are often many years old. The sunset and the wind are fleeting but also occur regularly over many thousands of years. Together they provide both the constancy of hope and growth, as well as the fleetingness of change and renewal. The ability to grow through change whilst staying very much the same.
This is a composite of two photos taken one evening drive to a look out at Mount Dandenong.
Near the mountains of north Guangxi is the township of Bama (Panyang River). It is known for the high number of people aged over one hundred years of age.
Little information is available on longevity in northern harriers. The longest lived known bird is 16 years and 5 months. However, adults rarely live more than 8 years. Early mortality mainly results from predation. Predators of eggs and nestlings include raccoons, skunks, badgers, foxes, crows and ravens, dogs and owls. Fledglings are also predated regularly, especially by great horned owls. Both parents attack potential predators with alarm calls and striking with talons. Short-eared owls are natural competitors of this species that favor the same prey and habitat, as well as having a similarly broad distribution. Occasionally, both harriers and short-eared owls will harass each other until the victim drops its prey and it can be stolen, a practice known as kleptoparasitism. Most commonly, the harriers are the aggressors pirating prey from owls
This antique piece was brought to me by my friend Mark from Thailand. A beautiful wood carved Buddha. Carving date unknown.

It's just a day,
but a very special day
living to tell
a simple way to excell,
your light is proof enough
of life's essential stuff
every glare and beam;
the shadow of the deeper dream
glimmering shades and shapes
of this day that never escapes
attention and importance
for time is life's own heritance
and all we miss so deeply,
may be reached so simply
ordinally, the virtue of patience
respiration and the gift of sentience
offer hope upon time unto each and all
for the taking, simplicity to recall
hail longevity, a timeless talent indeed
redeeming our features in need
we welcome reminders to precede
a tulle touch of the life we wish to lead
instinct being your first feeling of living
and isn't it beautiful, worthy of our thanksgiving
venerate your soul and project yourself
unto every new day with love in itself
sparking the anniversary of every one of us
we all deserve a celebration of hope to profess!
Love your life, love this day, love one another!!

... at the Yiheyuan (颐和园, ie. the Garden for Nourishing Peace/Harmony), the Imperial Summer Palace, in the light of the winter sun.
The building on the right, at the top of the hill, is the Sea of Wisdom. In front of it is the Tower of Buddhist Incense.
The current Imperial Summer Palace, Yiheyuan, was built after the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, had been looted and burnt by Anglo French forces during the Second Opium War. Many looted items are now said to be in British and other European art collections.

Many African cultures revere the African Elephant as a symbol of strength and power. It is also praised for its size, longevity, stamina, mental faculties, cooperative spirit, and loyalty. South Africa uses elephant tusks in their coat of arms to represent wisdom, strength, moderation and eternity.
08 484 runs out of the yard towards the test track whilst 20 314 and 20 096 tick over awaiting departure with 7X09 11.47 Old Dalby to West Ruislip. Collectively these three locomotives have racked up 168 years service.
I took this photograph a few weeks ago with the sole intention of posting this on my father's birthday.
This year he would have been 96.
Oak is often associated with honor and wisdom thanks to its size and longetivity and I thought it a fitting image to describe my father.
Just like the Oak, my father was always there, a strong but quiet presence.
It was 24 years ago now. I remember clearly the day. I was in a meeting in my office in Covent Garden, it was late morning when my sister phoned to tell me the news.
Time marches on but since moving up to Cheshire I often think how lovely it would have been for both my mother and father to have seen my wife and children.
Happy Birthday Dad.
The Kondo was completed in 700 AD, and the Five-stories Pagoda in 710. The Five-stories Pagoda and Kondo were created at the end of the Asuka period (538-710), a period noted for its fine arts and architecture. Most knowledge of Asuka-era structures is based on the Hōryū-ji buildings.
One of the features of Horyu-ji Temple is that it uses Hinoki cypress, which boasts the highest level of durability and preservation. Hinoki has a mysterious property that is unthinkable with other construction materials: its strength increases for 200 years after it is cut down. Furthermore, it is an ideal wood because it retains the same strength as when it was cut down 1000 years after it was cut down. Horyu-ji Temple uses high-quality Hinoki cypress trees that are over 1000 years old and have dense annual rings, and there is no doubt that this is one of the factors that has contributed to the temple's longevity.The reason why the tower has remained in its original form for over 1,400 years in earthquake-prone Japan is due to the traditional construction methods ingeniously used by the temple carpenters. Each of the five floors gets thinner as it goes up, and each floor is independent except for a central pillar called the central pillar. The area around the central pillar is open, and does not support the weight of each floor. The weight of the entire tower is supported by the four Shitenbashira pillars and 12 side pillars around the central pillar. When external forces such as wind or earthquakes are applied to the building, the building sways as if riding the vibration waves, dispersing the force and preventing it from collapsing. Horyuji Temple was built by the temple carpenters of the time, combining their wisdom and skills, using soft traditional construction methods that do not resist the laws of nature, and it still exists today after 1,400 years. The skills of carpenters, who understand the materials they use, adapt to the climate, and use their skills to create buildings that will not collapse, have been passed down from generation to generation, and their spirit is still carried on by the craftsmen
Is it a shot from Chinese traditional painting?of course not.I took it from a huge porcelain vase in my office building,this photo is just one of small part from it.It is not flat and the reflected light is strong.So it is not easy to shoot the right one.
In Chinese culture,the pine simbolizes evergreen,and the red-crowned crane simbolizes longevity.they are both linked to best wishes.
As time goes by.everyone is getting old and even die,But human being's love is everlasting.let's enjoy everyday.

This mountain ash leaflet, already chewed up, and ripped from its tree by sever winds, landed facedown on a small outdoor table. It remained there through several days and nights of rain with only momentary reprieves, gathering a different collection of droplets each day. The table was so saturated that its wood's fibres were raised, undoubtedly helping to hold the leaf in place, when it might have floated off on several occasions. Eventually I peeled the leaflet off the table, but not before taking a photo. There was something so lovely in the sinuous line of its stem, a beauty even in its ragged state.
"Zode" is a veteran Melbourne graffiti writer highly regarded for his longevity and consistent output, particularly on the rail corridors and industrial walls of Melbourne's western suburbs.

The Bunya Bunya Pine, Araucaria bidwillii, belongs to the Araucariaceae family, which dominated the globe during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, i.e. from 201 to 66 million years ago. Three genera of this family have survived: Araucaria, Agathis and Wollemia. All survivals are in the southern hemisphere, in ancient Gondwanaland. Seven further genera have been identified in the fossil record.
