How do I write a caption for a view like this? There are places that simply overwhelm the senses. Also, I really want to spend an afternoon riding my bike along that path past the stone giants.
I visited Coventry for a couple of days recently as it is the current UK City of Culture. Curiously it was not culture but the city’s history that struck me most strongly. Nowhere I have been to in England has been so affected by war. The city centre of Coventry is not pretty, it contains a huge number of concrete buildings erected in the nineteen fifties and sixties . This is not because the people there did not care about their historic city. It is simply that on the 14th November 1940 the city centre of Coventry was obliterated in one of the most damaging and prolonged air raids of the World War . When you have to rebuild a city quickly perhaps you cannot worry over much about aesthetics .
This image is of the ruins of the original fourteenth century gothic cathedral that was virtually destroyed that evening The following day the Dean of the Cathedral vowed that it would be rebuilt. They made the decision not to restore the original church but to create a new cathedral that would be built next to and physically joined to the ruined church. In the photograph the arch on the left hand side leads you into the new cathedral. The people of Coventry decided that the ruins ruins should remain as a reminder of what happens when civilians are used as targets in warfare. The modern cathedral that was finally completed in 1963 is in my opinion that finest modern building in England. It is a showcase of British modern art particularly sculpture .
More Information
Coventry was bombed many times during the Second World War by the German Air Force . The most devastating of these attacks was a 11 hour raid occurred on the evening of 14 November 1940 and continued into the morning of 15 November.
The raid was the most severe to hit Coventry during the war. It was carried out by 515 German bombers The initial wave of 13 specially modified Heinkel 111 which were equipped with X-Gerät navigational devices, accurately dropped marker flares .The first wave of follow-up bombers dropped high explosive bombs, knocking out the utilities the water supply, electricity network, telephones and gas mains and cratering the roads, making it difficult for the fire engines to reach fires started by the later waves of bombers. These final wave of aircraft dropped a combination of high explosive and incendiary bombs. There were two types of incendiary bomb: Those made of magnesium and those made of petroleum. The high explosive bombs and the larger air-mines not only hindered the Coventry fire brigade, they were also intended to damage roofs, making it easier for the incendiary bombs to fall into buildings and ignite them.
In one night, more than 4,300 homes in Coventry were destroyed and around two-thirds of the city's buildings were damaged. The raid was heavily concentrated on the city centre, most of which was destroyed. Two hospitals, two churches and a police station were also damaged
At around 8pm, Coventry Cathedral was set on fire by incendiaries for the first time. The volunteer firefighters managed to put out the first fire but other direct hits followed and soon new fires broke out in the cathedral; accelerated by a firestorm, the flames quickly spread out of control. During the same period, more than 200 other fires were started across the city, most of which were concentrated in the city-centre area, setting the area ablaze and overwhelming the firefighters. As the Germans had intended, the water mains were damaged by high explosives, meaning there was not enough water available to tackle many of the fires.
It is impossible to imagine the the feelings of those survivors emerging from shelters looking at their city which in 11 hours had been utterly destroyed . Of course the bombing of Coventry was carried out on other English cities including Hull. The Allies also committed similar atrocities in Berlin Hamburg and Dresden and the ultimate attack on a civilian population in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
Recently I went through some older photo's which I made during a trip to Australia. I guess I was at the right moment when I made this particular one of the 'Three Sisters'. The warm light was overwhelming beautiful...
I drum-scanned the Kodak 35mm negative film.
Narciso

"(gr. Νάρκισσος) Mitico figlio di Cefiso e della ninfa Liriope; insensibile all’amore, non ricambiò la travolgente passione di Eco, per cui fu punito dalla dea Nemesi che lo fece innamorare della propria immagine riflessa in una fonte; morì consumato da questa vana passione, trasformandosi nel fiore omonimo. Il mito è narrato da Ovidio ed è argomento frequente di pitture pompeiane."
Interessante tutto l'articolo dell'Enciclopedia Treccani.
I nostri cani sono tutti così, sono banalissimi quattrozampe da canile, ma si credono tutti Narcisi, sempre a guardarsi allo specchio stanno. :-)
"(gr. Νάρκισσος) Mythical son of Cephisus and the nymph Liriope; insensitive to love, he did not reciprocate the overwhelming passion of Echo, for which he was punished by the goddess Nemesis who made him fall in love with his own image reflected in a source; he died consumed by this vain passion, transforming into the flower of the same name. The myth is narrated by Ovid and is a frequent subject of Pompeian paintings."
The entire article in the Treccani Encyclopedia is interesting.
Our dogs are all like this, they are very banal four-legged dogs from the shelter, but they all think they are Narcissus, they are always looking at themselves in the mirror. :-)
Many thanks to everyone for the overwhelming feedback and the numerous likes for this picture.
It is my picture of the year 2021 .. and not only that. For me personally it is the best picture I have ever taken.
For moments like this, I like to get up very early on weekends. It is breathtaking to enjoy the light, the beauty and the silence of nature when the day slowly wakes up. I especially like the foggy moods at one of our numerous and beautiful little lakes.
The picture was taken with the Fujifilm X-H1 and the Fujinon 10-24 WR on a cold Sunday morning at the end of October at the beautiful Kochelsee in Upper Bavaria.
I struggled with trying to set up this type of 'still life' as my norm is to go minimal and simple. Using this many props was a bit overwhelming for me!
PA - Still Life
In the morning, an overwhelming magic illuminates the small, colorful town on Lake Garda.
Buildings and turrets with their fresh clear colors and glowing roofs and spiers show themselves beautifully in the bright sunlight.
And the lake glitters as if covered with diamonds.
A colorful dance and time for a nice photo …
The city appears in the historical record dating back in 1336 by its medieval Greek name Argyrókastro as part of the Byzantine Empire. It first developed in the hill where the Gjirokastër Fortress is located. In this period, Gjirokastër was contested between the Despotate of Epirus and the Albanian clan of Zenebishi under Gjon Zenebishi who made it his capital in 1417. It was taken by the Ottomans in 1418, a year after's Gjon's death and it became the seat of the Sanjak of Albania. Throughout the Ottoman era, Gjirokastër was officially known in Ottoman Turkish as Ergiri and also Ergiri Kasrı. During the Ottoman period conversions to Islam and an influx of Muslim converts from the surrounding countryside made Gjirokastër go from being an overwhelmingly Christian city in the 16th century into one with a large Muslim population by the early 19th century. Gjirokastër also became a major religious centre for Bektashi Sufism.
Taken by the Hellenic Army during the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913, Gjirokastër was eventually incorporated into the newly independent state of Albania in 1913. The local Greek population rebelled and established the short-lived Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus in 1914 with Gjirokastër as its capital. During the communist period, Gjirokastër was designated a "museum city" due to its architectural heritage.
Gjirokastër is the birthplace of former Albanian communist leader Enver Hoxha.
Continuing on from my last post.
The morning was overwhelmingly beautiful and it provided me with a bit of a dilemma in terms of which direction to head in. There is a path that rounds the whole perimeter of Kinder Scout, some 15-16 miles in length depending on how strictly you want to stick to the edge. Those 16 miles have a great many geological features and different landscapes to be seen along the way, all providing a myriad of photographic subjects...choices, choices.
I let intuition decide rather than intellect and found my legs taking me East along the perimeter path in the direction of Crookstone Knoll, not with a mind so much on photography, but just enjoying the dream like experience of being above the clouds. I followed the trail of a Mountain Hare, which a was occasionally accompanied by the footprints of Red Grouse, all of us seemed to be headed the same direction so there must be something in it, I thought. I chuckle a little at the thought of a hiker following behind later in the day, wondering where the heck a hare, a grouse and human were all heading together!
Not too far along the path at Rowland Cote Moor, I caught sight of Win Hill properly for the first time and was mesmerised by the cloud raking over Hope Brink and the beautiful pastel orange sky, the likes of which I’ve only seen a few times before. I’m rarely a single-subject shooter, but I couldn’t pass up beautiful simple shot that represented the atmosphere of the morning so well.

An overwhelming view of the central Andes. I would have loved to stay there longer.
12/11/08 - I can't live my life in the dark. It's about time to see the light. I had a good day and I really love the people I surround myself with. All it takes is a little self motivation and an eager attitude.
I'm supposed to call this home

Then I climbed up the lower falls. As I approached the main falls, I was overwhelmed by its height. Once I stood in front of the falls, I got drenched in the spray, which made me feel freezing cold. I couldn’t stand taking photos there, so I moved to the side a bit and kept shooting.
Overwhelming all the senses with sensuous lines, and the dominating innards that won at Le Mans 3 times, '55-57' winning first and second, and 5 of the top 6 places in 1957.
Life has a way of pulling us in countless directions—its rhythm often loud, relentless, and overwhelming. In the middle of this chaos, quiet moments become not just desirable, but essential, grounding us when everything else feels unsteady.
Meditation and stillness offer a sanctuary—a chance to retreat into silence and reconnect with ourselves. Even just a few minutes of quiet can soothe the mind, reduce stress, and spark fresh perspective. The beauty of meditation lies not in escaping the world, but in re-entering it with calm and focus.
Whether it's a quiet corner of your home, a bench in a sunlit park, or the meditative glow of a candlelit room, having a dedicated space for restoration creates a powerful invitation to pause. It reminds us that we have permission to step away, to breathe deeply, and to simply be.
In these moments, we’re reminded that renewal doesn’t have to be grand or elaborate—it thrives in simplicity. A quiet walk, the hum of nature, or the soft cadence of a cat’s purr can replenish us in ways that go beyond words. Taking time to renew isn’t a luxury; it’s an act of care that enables us to move through life with resilience, purpose, and a sense of presence.

One of the highlights of Iceland was to see the Fagradalsfjall Volcano, it was something very addictive and a truly overwhelming experience, so, in addition to the days reserved for the volcano, I approached one day more from other more distant sites where I was not planned to see it when I saw that conditions were good.
Seeing all that was a spectacle like few others.
Here I show you a zenithal view from the drone, of a detail of lava, many times the lava advances through tunnels, peeks to the surface and continues advancing through tunnels.
Good week to everybody!

Uno de los platos fuertes de Islandia fue ver el Volcán Fagradalsfjall, fue algo muy adictivo y una experiencia realmente sobrecogedora, por lo que, además de los días reservados para el volcán, me acerque algún día mas desde otros sitios mas lejanos donde no estaba previsto verlo cuando veía que las condiciones eran buenas.
Ver todo aquello era un espectáculo como pocos.
Aquí os muestro una vista cenital del drone, de un detalle de lava, muchas veces la lava avanza por túneles, asoma a la superficie y sigue avanzando por tuneles.
Buena semana para todo el mundo !!

The desert is overwhelming, especially for a photographer. There are so many things to look at- textures, light, plants, animals, mountains... all of it. Again, this is a panoramic shot so as to get all of the sublimity the Sonoran Desert has.
Hi dear Flickr-Friends of photography,
another sunset scenery at the area of Krabi/ Thailand. When I think about my little home lake I really have to say, same same but different... Nature is overwhelming!
Have a nice evening!

Desde el mirador de Carciraluengo en el P.N. de Ordesa es conmovedora el desnivel alcanzado desde la Pradera es de 650 +/- y las vistas abrumadoras se perciben varios picos y en otoño los colores son fuertes con la ayuda de la luz del sol. Esta imagen corresponde a.la salida del día 5 de octubre, mañana vuelvo a ir aunque no al mirador, espero que el color otoñal sea mas intenso.
From the Carciraluengo viewpoint in Ordesa National Park, the elevation gain from the meadow is breathtaking: 650 +/-, and the views are overwhelming. Several peaks are visible, and the autumn colors are intense with the help of the sunlight. This image is from my outing on October 5th. I'll go again tomorrow, although not to the viewpoint. I hope the autumn colors will be more intense.

It is an overwhelming adventure, a time of wonder with light and thunder, to experience a monsoon thunderstorm wave rolling across the Grand Canyon at sunset. Surrounded by storm cells with heavy rain and far too close lightning strikes of a highly active thunderstorm behind, the multiple echoes of the rolling thunders were deeply impressive. The panoramic view at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon near Cape Royal extends from Vishnu Canyon past Wotan's thrones into the sunset in Clear Canyon. The eponymous streams of these canyons cascade their muddy-brown rainfall torrents towards the Colorado River.
Such moments of great sublimity revive deeply rooted connections to our home planet. These impressions awaken our instincts and with them the irreversible realization how unique our planet is and how closely we are connected to it.

Have you ever had a tiny package arrive in the mail, and wondered who had sent it? This has happened to me several times in my lifetime - and it brings instant joy, and an overwhelming desire to thank the thoughtful person that sent it. This tiny spool laying atop a new tea towel, just arrived in my mailbox. This time I know who sent it as a note of encouragement was included. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could encourage friends and family this way? It doesn't need to be anything extravagant - just something to say;
"I am thinking of you, and you are loved."
The Green Room
About 5/6 year ago, I sat in a room full of people I had never met before and with our eyes closed we were told to imagine a bright and vibrant colour. The feeling was overwhelming as I urged towards the colour green. After a few minutes the countdown began, on the count of three we were asked to open our eyes again and imagine the room absorbed in the colour we had chosen. When my eyelids fluttered open the floor and the walls flickered with green. The furniture lit up as the candle lit room painted itself, like a black and white movie merging into colour. The sparkles of light from my tingly, tired eyes danced around the room like butterflies. As the green dissipated, a few blinks later I reclaimed my view of the dark room. I felt relaxed and at peace. The session ended and I drove home with a solid green image in my mind. From the car I ran into my house, grabbed my sketch book and began to scribble down the dancing room of green.
I've always used self portraiture as support and an outlet for my mental health. My art has played a huge part in healing trauma and a great form of distraction over the years. To either make sense of my thoughts or to escape to another world for a while. Over the past 6 months I've been dealing with a lot of doubts about myself, my body, my abilities, my art work and my worth. I found that self portraiture, once a place of pure escapism, made me feel extremely vulnerable and I became scared to open up and self doubt started to creep in. I decided to work through it away from art and build from the bottom up, slowly ushering to trust myself again.
The studio make over was a huge distraction for me, it was a tangible and satisfying to see come together from all the work we put in. I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to make art again but since finishing the studio and having a new place to create in I found myself coming back to ‘The Green Room' idea. The scribbles in my book from all those years ago reminded me of a moment I felt peace, vulnerability and creativity collide.
I felt an immense pull back to this idea and knowing I wanted to get back to a place where I felt comfortable with my artistic voice again, I decided to make this my first project in The Wonky Studio. I pushed through all the negative thoughts and spent the past two months building this set, going through the emotions, carefully piecing it all together and fully adoring the process. Constructing and reworking every part of it. From the moment I started painting the props, to cutting out the butterflies, to assembling it all together in front of the backdrop, to seeing it light up in front of me whilst shooting, it has felt like an artistic resurgence. It's been quite a different journey to how I have worked in the past, but this process has been cathartic and I know now that my creative voice has survived once again. I've never felt more fulfilled and I can’t wait to continue to thrive in here!!
I want this image to be a sign that no matter how hard the moments of confusion may be, there will always be more colour on it's way, and when it comes, embrace it hard 💚
I'm aware I haven't been contributing very much to Flickr World recently. Sorry about that. I've got an overwhelming collection of RAW images from the last few weeks, so much so that I haven't really known where to start. And then the weather has been rather good. August has often been a bit of a disappointment in Cornwall in recent years, but this summer it's not been too bad. Not another 1976 you understand (and that date in itself tells you how rare a fantastic summer is in the UK), but there have been enough sunny afternoons where the garden loungers have proved to be too much of a temptation.
And finally there's work. I'm a finance manager in a further education college, which usually kills the conversation, although it kills my brain cells just as quickly. The cumulative effect of 20 years of non stop reporting deadlines in the same job is starting to take its toll on this tired and weary soul as the new academic year starts, and in recent weeks it's been a struggle to look at the contents of my SD card, let alone go out and take more photos. But at least, as I keep reminding myself, this is my last year at work, and in 12 months I'll be free to roam the land on Tuesday afternoons, or at any other random time that grabs me, with my camera bag and a flask of coffee. I will also do the first thing that all self respecting colleagues who leave the world of education do, and book a September holiday. Very possibly for the whole of September. At the moment I feel like a boxer who's just stepped into the ring for the final round.
So it was good to catch up with Lee yesterday and head for the familiar "go to" location 12 miles down the road on the first weekend after the end of the main holiday season. High tide coincided with sunset and I had an idea in mind, although the light wasn't playing ball over Godrevy Lighthouse, the ever obvious focal point in these parts. We scratched our heads and looked at the always ignored lifeguard hut and the grasses in the foreground. Then I decided upon a competing focal point, namely myself and set the 10 second timer before charging into the scene in the direction of the cliff edge, where you find me gazing enigmatically in the direction of St Ives. Not an evening for classic photos, but a lovely evening to be out in a place that never ceases to inspire.
So bear with me folks, as I cling on to the annual box of delights we call the autumn term. I'm still here - I just need to catch up on sleep a lot. It's always great to hear from you and see your pictures and read your stories. It's been another beautiful weekend, and I'm glad to have managed to post a photo of it here. Have a good week all.

Paris is everything I expected and so much more.
It's an overwhelming city in all the best ways.
On my first day in Paris, I was treated to a walk around The Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood with a new Paris friend, Mikhail and his lovely friends. And then we then made our way to Montparnasse to take in this spectacular view from the top of Tour Montparnasse.
I am posting updates frequently to my Twitter, My Facebook, and Instagram while I am here in Paris (like an awesome video clip of the Eiffel Tower light show last night, for example!). Follow along if you are curious. :)
(not that I won't post here but I will only be posting major photos vs. everyday updates)

"As the jazz notes swirled around the room like a delicate promise, his gaze fixated on a silhouette illuminated by the golden glow. She moved with a grace that echoed the rhythm, and he felt an irresistible pull. The young woman, her beaded dress whispering against the polished floor, approached him like a moth drawn to a flame. Her eyes, as green as the envy the evening had evoked, met his, and in that moment, the ballroom became their private universe. They glided across the floor in a dance that mirrored the ebb and flow of the jazz itself. The world outside their twirling figures faded away, leaving only the effervescent thrill of the moment. His hand, warm, rested on the small of her back, guiding her through a waltz of stolen glances and shared smiles. The champagne bubbles mirrored in their eyes as they lost themselves in the opulence of the night, a fleeting connection that felt as timeless as the echoes of Gatsby's own starlit soirees."
