This cottage on the Blickling Estate in Norfolk is over 200 years old and presumably once provided accommodation for an estate worker. It doesn’t appear to have a name or street identity and even on the listed building register it is just shown as 8!
I am not sure if it is currently occupied as it does seem in need of some repairs especially to gable end. Nonetheless, a nice place to live, just a bit of TLC required!

An old house with a wonderful "stoep" (veranda), one from my walk through the little town Darling in the Western Cape. Well worth a visit if you should ever be in the area.
Hopefully E.T. is on the EE network if he wants to make contact using this new communications mast in Torrin, Isle of Skye.
The patch of light pollution comes from Portree to the north, not helped by a wee bit of low cloud. Will need to come back on the next clear night (sadly rare here) and try to point south when Orion makes its appearance.
Whenever I see light pollution on the horizon, I can't help but remember the 1953 film Invaders from Mars, when young David sees a glowing spaceship from his bedroom window, landing behind a hill at night not far from his house.

The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames, and finally in Chelsea, its current location. Saatchi's collection—and hence the gallery's shows—has had distinct phases, starting with US artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting, and then returning to contemporary art from America in USA Today at the Royal Academy in London. A 2008 exhibition of contemporary Chinese art formed the inaugural exhibition in the new venue for the gallery at the Duke of York's HQ.
The gallery has been an influence on art in Britain since its opening. It has also had a history of media controversy,[2] which it has actively courted, and has earned extremes of critical reaction. Many artists shown at the gallery are unknown not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world; showing at the gallery has provided a springboard to launch careers.[citation needed]
In 2010, it was announced that the gallery would be given to the British public, becoming the Museum of Contemporary Art for London

Must've been stopped down a little, because I got the little pentagons in the bokeh.

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

Just a little fun trip down memory lane!
Not the most inventive name for a beach (or a photo for that matter). Love capturing the movement of the water over the rock shelf. This is also home to the somewhat famous Dragon Head Rock.
Thanks again for everyone's comments and favs.
Number 1 in my allocated Wooded Buildings theme for this week. The Acorn activity house in the Meridian Park, Peacehave, East Sussex, UK taken in 2015.
Here are two more pictures from my recent stay in London, an opportunity I used to continue working on my long-term project titled Urban Serendipity. Some people have asked me about the meaning of serendipity. According to Webster's dictionary, it means "the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for." Today’s photos were taken in Broadgate Circle in the City of London, very close to Liverpool Street – Broadgate Circle, London, UK
AAW January 6 - 13: Keld Helmer-Petersen
WIT: Saw this old and newer forms of heating, and thought it would make an interesting bw high contrast. The bw also brought out the number 5, although I don't know what it's for. Cropped to square.
When this Cape May Warbler landed on the Norway Spruce in our backyard this morning it brought the total to 57 the number of different species of birds that I've observed looking out the back window of our home in the time frame of a little over 1 year. At least 15 of them I've been able to photograph perched on that Norway Spruce.
The number of sunrises in a lifetime is finite. Are you making the best of it?
Our second group of Africa Big Cats adventurers have been treated to some incredible conditions. Just in the past two days, we have captured elephants tussling, giraffes fighting, topis dueling, lionesses successfully hunting a warthog, two separate cheetah hunting attempts, three different leopards, not to mention thunder, lighting and a supercell-esque storm cloud! Definitely stay tuned for more pictures, better yet, join us in 2024!
Happy anniversary, my love.
We don't have much photos of the wedding, because I sadly broke by accident the CD. Now, after my dad passed away, we found some lost CD, Not a good photo, but I guess we were meant to be The Blurs,
For this life and another one, blend in light, music, words and smiles, my love.
This one was our first song, Number 1, by Goldfrapp
"Walk out into velvet
Nothing more to say
You're my favorite moment
You're my Saturday..."
Secret number fourteen:
I have a lot to be thankful for.
It's true. I have a fibroadenoma, not breast cancer. I may not have children of my own, but I have nieces and nephews that I love as if they were mine. I may not have a significant other, but I know I am loved. I may not be in the best shape of my life, but I can still walk. I may not be wealthy, but I have the greatest job and work with the best people. And lastly, I have "met" some of the most amazing people ever right here on Flickr. Thank you.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know I sure did.
Another lockdown shot from my wander on Thursday.
St Andrews Cross roundabout at the top of Royal Parade is always really busy but on Thursday morning it was pretty quiet with just buses and a handful of cars on the road.
Again, I tried using road markings as foreground interest and saw these to chevrons which looked quite good.
The building on the right is the Royal Bank of Scotland building and was built in the post war era between 1956-59 and is now a Grade II listed building.
Number 4 in the J Senn AG rescue fleet, a Volvo FH13-500 8x4 breakdown - with recovery equipment by Falkom I think.
Seen on highway 7 at Weiach, Switzerland.
Hey hooman? Hooman? Helloooo?
Ye-eah? Wha... What is it?
Come ON! Throw my toy!
Hmm, what did you say Barney?
Throw the toy! Throw it now! Come on hooman...
Just wait, I'm just, I'm just...
Just what? Gah, you're soo slow!
I'm just taking a photo. One moment, one moment...
Grrr...
A conversation we've had many, many times, Barney's such a good dog, tolerating his stoopid hooman taking a ridiculous number of photos when it should be playtime! This look he's giving me is so familiar - a serious "throw me the toy" stare, whilst standing frozen, like a furry statue, one paw raised in anxious anticipation of the moment I finally, finally remember to actually throw the toy... He's stayed like this almost completely without movement for up to 20 minutes before now! I only made him wait a couple of minutes today though, so it wasn't too torturous :) Being a BC, Barn often likes these "games" of patience and anticipation - although he lets me know when he's not in the mood - shouts and bounces at me until I give up taking photos!
Barney and I were away in Snowdonia over the weekend, sort of as a celebration for my 24th birthday on Sunday 6th - we went for a couple of staggeringly beautiful but looong mountain adventures together which I'm still recovering from. However, despite my legs objecting to another walk, we actually got some nice sunny weather today, so I went for a stagger up the Malvern Hills, to take photos :) This was taken at Earnslaw Quarry (now a lake), where Barney likes to have a swim. The quarry/lake is quite flooded atm, (there's normally a path where Barn's standing) but the sunlit hill reflecting golden in the water made for a lovely photo opportunity :)
