After a period harassed by the wind and the furious waves, the rocks have succumbed to their wear and tear, giving rise to this natural beauty that looks more like a hand raised from the water, offering an offering to Mother Nature to ask for calm, calm, before the unstoppable invested climatology ...
Despues de un periodo hostigado por el viento y las olas enfurecidas, las rocas han sucumbido a su desgaste dando lugar a esta belleza natural y que mas bien parece una mano alzada del agua, ofreciendo una ofrenda a la madre naturaleza para pedirle sosiego, calma , ante la imparable investida climatologica...
For those who are sick of my floral shots, i apologize... I promise when the flowers are gone, you won't see them :)
Forbidden City by Indo Chine
Consistently rated among the preeminent establishments at Singapore’s mega-popular Clarke Quay nightlife precinct, The Forbidden City has for years been attracting crowds of discerning diners and party goers with its multi-faceted offerings. Occupying the majestic Singapore waterfront building- The River House- which has been listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO- the building was originally a 19th Century river front godown, later converted into the palatial residence of a wealthy trader. Operated by Singapore’s renowned IndoChine Group, the building has, while maintaining its historic structure and facade, been extensively re-modelled internally into a collection of stylish restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

For the "Looking close... on Friday!" topic "Texture in Flora"
I keep bringing handfuls of crab apples and their leaves indoors to shoot. Most of the trees have lost their leaves as well as their fruit ... but these tiny shiny apples cling on so valiantly. This morning it was sub-zero, and still they smile at me 😊
Have a happy weekend, and stay safe and warm!

The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

A few little flowers from the garden today.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images and apologies for being a bit AWOL!
Common Tern
We got to see lots of this yesterday. The really strange thing, none of the males actually gave the offerings to the mates or possible mates.
Not big enough or too big????

The Devils blood
The curse of salvation
The odious essence
Of His holy revelation
It floats from the garden of eden
In malevolent grace
The Devil's blood
Through the pentagram's maze
I like this shot of someone offering a banana to the passing marathon runners taken towards the end of the day - someone did take it.

Goodbye to a wonderful roleplay sim - and the awesome work of Kora Zenovka and Baal Zobel - the sim will be gone in middle of June. As much as I know KOS will remain a bit longer.

Autumn Offering
“I shall be Autumn
this Halloween,
with leaf draped skirt,
and folds of
boysenberry velvet wine
flowing to the ground.
Brown stained face,
eyes rimmed in gold,
nails dripping sunset,
a crown of twigs
to cover my head.
You may gather from me
the spring of my youth,
my summer of maturity,
and hold onto with me,
the solace of these days
of remembering
before the frost.”
— Judith A. Lawrence, editor/publisher of River Poets Journal
This was taken at the temple at the Nirvana Memorial Gardens. These fruit and the cupcakes (a kind of bread) are commonly offered to the temple guardian known as "Tuah Pek Kong"

Unfortunately I couldn't find the plaque with the name of this striking sculpture author - neither on site no on the Internet. My French is probably not good enough for that. But I'd like to know... what are these offerings, what is the story?
These common, daily offerings to both good and evil spirits are called "canang sari" by the Balinese. They are handmade works of art in their own right and can also be seen on the altar of the shrine I posted earlier. This time, I took a whole series of photos featuring them in various places. The materials, herbs, flowers, food and money in each offering have much religious symbolism and purpose; for further reading : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canang_sari
A Royal Tern with an offering in its beak. More on the offering and related antics to follow.
I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of the photos from that group. Many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've finished folder 13 - that had 1428 photos! This photo was in the second 1/3 of that folder. I'm on Folder 14 which has far less photos.
A male black tern brings an invertebrate offering to its mate.
The female would land on a post and wait for delivery. When she spotted the male, she would open her mouth and call out. The male would come in and do a low speed handoff (beakoff?) to the female. If they couldn't quite connect, the male would hover/flutter and move in closer again for another attempt. On occasion, the offering would be dropped. This behaviour would be repeated a number of times before the female would fly off.
