The phrase Normal For Norfolk is said to originate from out of county doctors writing it on the the hospital notes of their more rustic and intellectually challenged patients. Nowadays it is often used by Norfolk residences themselves in a far more gentle way to describe unusual activities that are going on.
In truth it is not that an unusual site as tourists can go on Alpaca treks from close by.

The phrase "Go West, young man" is often used to encourage people to seek new opportunities and a fresh start, whether in the literal sense of moving to the western United States or in a more metaphorical way.
The phrase "Go West, young man" is commonly attributed to Horace Greeley, the editor of the New-York Daily Tribune, although its exact origin is debated. The phrase is associated with the concept of Manifest Destiny and the westward expansion of the United States during the 19th century.
While Greeley frequently used the phrase and is widely credited with popularising it, some sources suggest that John B.L. Soule, editor of the Terre Haute Express, may have used it earlier. Regardless of its precise origin, the phrase became a rallying cry for those seeking opportunity and a new life in the American West.

John Milton coined the phrase 'silver lining' in his poem Comus: A Mask Presented at (Ludlow Castle), 1634:
I see ye visibly, and now believe
That he, the Supreme Good, to whom all things ill
Are but as slavish officers of vengeance,
Would send a glistering guardian, if need were
To keep my life and honour unassailed.
Was I deceived, or did a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night?
I did not err; there does a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night,
And casts a gleam over this tufted grove. (Source: phrases.org.uk)
Meaning of Silver lining: A silver lining is a metaphor for optimism in vernacular English, which means a negative occurrence may have a positive aspect to it. (Source: Wikipedia)
a swahili language phrase from east Africa, means "no worries" the Circle of Life - The Lion King ♫ giraffe from zoo, scene from a park, bird from surrounds ,funny thing is i actually do have a pic with a bird flying over giraffe... happy weekend ♪
Hic Sunt Dracones (Here be dragons) is a phrase used to denote unexplored territories.
I do not believe that there are dragons in the "Taunus" - a landscape near Mainz and Wiesbaden. But yesterday morning while I was traveling from Mainz to Nastätten I saw the shadow of a big cat. Oh no, not what you think. No funny cute kitten - I've seen the shadow of a really big cat. Something like a lion, a tiger, a leopard, a cheetah or so. And then I heard it: The sound of the terrifying cat. Yes, believe me. Maybe you are lucky and have a look ;-))

Happy New Year, folks
This year, I’ve coined a new phrase to add to the lexicon of already impenetrable photographic jargon which we all love to use- and that is the Photography Hardship Coefficient (PHC). As I’m not a mathematician, this is of course a purely qualitative assessment representing the physical pain to perceived reward ratio for any given image. For instance, whilst attempting some hi speed photography last year with our newly acquired TriggerTrap device, my very good friend and fellow Flickrite (DW) managed to shoot a hole through his garage door. And of course there was no image to show for it as neither of us had actually bothered to read the manual or set up the hardware properly. However, there was quite a lot of pain when his partner returned home. In this situation the PHC (which equals the amount of pain taken to get the image divided by how well you think the image came out) approached infinity as the denominator was zero (no image). This isn’t a great result. And neither was the other weekend, when a long hike in Snowdonia resulted in some distinctly poor images from me and a bad dose of man flu.
But at the other end of the spectrum, there’s this place in Lofoten, which couldn’t really be much easier to shoot. Ok, it took 3 flights to get there from the UK but it’s not like you have to do anything other than sip G&T in airport lounges for a day. And once you’re there, there’s even a handy bridge to shoot from just a few short steps from the car park. In fact, the only pain is trying to find a spot that’s not already occupied by a dozen other photographers. Oh, and remembering to bring a tall enough tripod to clear the rail. Costas. All of a sudden, the PHC looks much better, no matter how your image comes out.
And so, as I recover from my severe case of grippe d’homme by watching a 12 hour real time train journey across Uzbekistan on Netflix, I’m thinking that this year will be different. My aim is to reduce my photography hardship coefficient as much as possible- something that maybe our world leaders could also consider if they were to change the P to Political.
Wishing you all a very happy new year. While it still lasts
A phrase I heard all the time growing up in the North East, not so much in Norfolk. A non gender specific phrase pertaining to someone very special indeed, either through good looks or by simply wearing something fancy.
Even in his 'beach camo' winter plumage, this male Snow Bunting is a striking and particularly white example.
I have been using the very light and sharp Nikon 400mm 4.5 for these shots after recently buying the 2x TC. From previous experience a 2x doesn't work well on many lenses - and really needs to be paired with a good prime. It makes crawling around on the beach almost enjoyable.
The phrase is so true and I noticed this during my first trip to Seattle. Cars running through these freeways to downtown all day and night without ceasing. Hope you enjoy this pano!
Being 'sent to the Tower' is a phrase used to mean being imprisoned - after the famous prison, the Tower of London, however many did not survive so it was a terrible and frightening prospect to be 'sent to the Tower'. From Kings and Queens to the Kray Twins all sorts of people have been imprisoned there and you can read a fascinating list of people on Wkipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prisoners_of_the_Tower_of_L...
Nowadays people from all over the world go to the Tower voluntarily!

Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase attributed to Marcus Iunius Brutus, one of the senarors who assassinated Julius Caesar. It can be translated as "Thus always to tyrants". It is a shortened version of the phrase "Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis" ("Thus always I bring death to tyrants"). It is also featured on the Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The phrase I always say when i’m driving and it starts to rain, 261 definitely got all squeaky clean last saturday when it ran through some pretty heavy rain on its way to Glencoe and back. Plato, MN
It's a phrase we use when someone/something is really happy. When the phrase was first cited one contender was an Australian boxer Larry Foley (1847-1917)who had never lost a fight . When he retired at 32 he had collected £1000.00 for his final fight. Larry was really happy!
Yeah, I know the phrase is "Talk to the Hand" but there was music here so ...
From Audacious Playground by Art Oluja, an exploration of space and sound at SLEA 7 that ended June 30, 2024. It was a very cool exhibition with many sections.
I made a video. Since there was so much and I am trying to limit my videos to 2-3 minutes, I think I jampacked too much in 3 1/2 minutes. I tried to get it down to 3 minutes but couldn't -- partly because I read aloud some of the poetry on the walls. If you make it over to youtube, let me know what you think? was it ok or too much?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyEvFaRqQ14
Since the exhibition is over, if you want to see some of Art Oluja's other art, you can visit his SL place. I believe they do music there sometimes too :

Η Ιερά Μονή Βελλάς βρίσκεται στο Καλπάκι του δήμου Πωγωνίου, ανήκει γεωγραφικά στις Νεγράδες Ιωαννίνων και ιδρύθηκε τον 11ο αιώνα. Βρίσκεται πολύ κοντά στην τοποθεσία της αρχαίας πόλης «Παλιοβελλά», που γνώρισε μεγάλη ακμή κατά τη βυζαντινή περίοδο. Η υπάρχουσα Μονή είναι ουσιαστικά ανακατεσκευή της παλαιάς που έγινε το 1745 . Ως το 1713 αποτελούσε έδρα της Επισκοπής. Διαθέτει υπέροχη θέα και σε κοντινή απόσταση βρίσκεται η πηγή Βελλάς του ποταμού Καλαμά.
\Το 1863 έγινε Σταυροπηγιακή και το 1885 μετατράπηκε σε ενοριακή. Είχε δε μετόχι τη Μονή Μεταμόρφωσης του Σωτήρα στη Ρουμανία. Το 1936 ενώθηκε με τη Μητρόπολη Δρυϊνουπόλεως και Πωγωνιανής και σήμερα είναι ενταγμένη στη Μητρόπολη Ιωαννίνων.
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι η μονή απετέλεσε από το 13ο αιώνα και για 400 χρόνια περίπου μεγάλο πνευματικό κέντρο, ενώ διέθετε και μεγάλη περιουσία. Ερημώθηκε το 1817, αφού οι μοναχοί αρνούμενοι να δώσουν την περιουσία τους στον Αλή πασά των Ιωαννίνων , μετέβησαν στην Κερκυρα.
Στη Μονή Βελλάς από το 1911 ως το 1989 λειτούργησε Ιεροδιδασκαλείο, όπου σπούδαζαν όσοι ήθελαν να γίνουν δάσκαλοι ή ιερείς, με φροντίδα του τότε Μητροπολίτου Ιωαννίνων Σπ. Βλάχου. Σήμερα λειτουργεί σε άλλο κτίριο Εκκλησιαστικό λύκειο με οικοτροφείο. Αποφοίτησαν απο εκεί δάσκαλοι και ιερείς. Χτίστηκαν κτίρια με αίθουσες διδασκαλίας και οικοτροφείο όπου διέμεναν δωρεάν οι σπουδαστές.
Το καθολικό της μονής είναι χτισμένο σε μορφή τρίκλιτης βασιλικής και όπως μας πληροφορεί σχετική επιγραφή χτίστηκε το 1745 και οι αγιογραφίες του είναι έργα των Κωνσταντίνου, Ιωάννη και Αναστασίου.
Αξιόλογες είναι οι αγιογραφίες των Ελλήνων φιλοσόφων που απεικονίζονται εδώ. Το τέμπλο είναι ξυλόγλυπτο και επίχρυσο δεμένα με αριστουργηματική τεχνική. Η Μονή Βελλάς είναι αφιερωμένη στην Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου αλλά πανηγυρίζει στις 8 Σεπτεμβρίου για να συμπίπτει με την έναρξη του εκπαιδευτικού έτους.
The Vellas Monastery is located at Kalpaki of Pogoni municipality, and geographically belongs at Negrades of Ioannina prefecture and was founded in the 11th century. It is very close to the location of the ancient city of "Palivella", which enjoyed great prosperity during the Byzantine period. The existing Monastery is essentially a remodeling of the old one, which took place in 1745. Until 1713 it was the seat of Episkopi. It has a magnificent view and within easy reach is the source of Vellas River of the Kalamas River.
In 1863 he became Stavropigia and in 1885 he turned into a parishioner. He had the Metamorphosis of the Savior in Romania. In 1936 he joined the Metropolis of Dryinoupoleos and Pogonianis and today he is incorporated in the Metropolis of Ioannina.
It is noteworthy that the monastery was a great intellectual center for the 400th anniversary of the 13th century and had a great fortune. It was deserted in 1817, after the monks refused to give their property to Ali Pasha of Ioannina, went to Corfu.
At the Vellas Monastery, from 1911 to 1989, there was a Teaching School where all those who wanted to become teachers or priests studied under the care of the then Metropolitan of Ioannina, Sp. Vlachos. Nowadays it operates in another building Ecclesiastic high school with boarding school. They graduated from there teachers and priests. Buildings were built with classrooms and a boarding school where the students were free of charge.
The katholikon of the monastery is built in the form of a three-aisled basilica and as it informs us, a relative inscription was built in 1745 and its hagiographies are works by Konstantinos, John and Anastasios.
Notable are the hagiographies of the Greek philosophers depicted here. The iconostasis is carved and painted gold-plated with a masterful technique. The Vellas Monastery is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, but celebrates on 8 September to coincide with the beginning of the school year.
This meaningful phrase dates as far back as the Old Testament. It was used in Jeremiah 13:23, where the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah had originally said: “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard its spots?”. "A leopard never changes its spots" derives directly from that phrase and is still used today.
This was my late Mother in Laws ornament that we have inherited.
The Pillars of Hercules was the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. According to Homer, the pillars were created when Heracles broke the mountain that had connected Africa and Europe. The pillars formed the western limit of navigation for the ancient Mediterranean world. This midday photo lacks good light, but how often do you walk up a mountain from where you can see another continent? For me, it was special to realise that I was standing in the south of the Iberian Peninsula looking across the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar to the Rif Mountains of Morocco on the African continent. I was surprised by the size of the Rock of Gibraltar, a monolithic limestone promontory that forms the northern pillar. Jebel Musa on the Moroccan side forms the southern pillar. In the foreground the remaining Portuguese oak trees (Quercus faginea subsp. alpestris) have been affected by years of charcoal making, an industry that decimated forests in the region. On steep slopes in the midground Spanish pines (Abies pinsapo) survive, a once widespread species that has suffered extensive timber harvesting for hundreds of years and is now only found in a few isolated locations. Pine and oak were the two most demanded species in the shipbuilding and construction industry. Congratulations to Morocco which just became the first African nation to reach a Soccer World Cup semi-final after defeating both Spain and Portugal, their northern neighbours on the Iberian Peninsula. The photo was taken from the tops of the Sierra de las Nieves, part of the Baetic Mountains in the south of Spain. You can mouse over the photo for landmarks and more information.

Την 14η Νοεμβρίου τιμάται επίσης από την ορθόδοξη εκκλησία ο Άγιος Γρηγόριος ο Παλαμάς Αρχιεπίσκοπος & συμπολιούχος της Θεσσαλονίκης. Ήταν δεινός θεολόγος και διαπρεπέστατος ρήτορας και φιλόσοφος. Κατά το πρώτο μισό του 14ου αιώνα μ.Χ. ήταν στην αυτοκρατορική αυλή της Κωνσταντινούπολης, απ' οπού και αποσύρθηκε στο Άγιο Όρος χάρη ησυχότερης ζωής, και αφιερώθηκε στην ηθική του τελειοποίηση και σε διάφορες μελέτες.Έγραψε πολλά και διάφορα θεολογικά έργα, περίπου 60. Εξελέγη Αρχιεπίσκοπος Θεσσαλονίκης,εκοιμήθη το 1360 μ.Χ. και τιμήθηκε αμέσως ως Άγιος. Το τίμιο σώμα του, μετά από την εκταφή, υπήρξε άφθαρτο, δηλαδή δέν σάπισε, αλλά ευωδίαζε και θαυματουργούσε.

Κάστρο του Αλή Πασά
Το Κάστρο του Αλή Πασά
βρίσκεται σε ένα ύψωμα ανάμεσα από τα χωριά Ανθούσα και Αγιά, 5 χιλιόμετρα βόρεια της Πάργας. Πρόκειται για ένα ογκώδες και επιβλητικό κτίριο, που χτίστηκε το 1814 υπό την εποπτεία του Ιταλού μηχανικού Monteleone, με στόχο να αποτελέσει το ορμητήριο του Αλή Πασά κατά την πολιορκία της Πάργας. Το Κάστρο έχει διατηρηθεί σε πολύ καλή κατάσταση, ζωντανεύοντας τις εικόνες της εποχής εκείνης στους επισκέπτες του. Κατά την περιήγησή σας θα δείτε τις υπόγειες δεξαμενές, την πυριταποθήκη και τα δωμάτια του Αλή Πασά, με το τζάκι και τα ερμάρια. Στη βόρεια πλευρά του υπάρχουν δύο προμαχώνες και ζεματίστρα για να προστατεύουν την είσοδο. Σώζονται επίσης και τμήματα του περίδρομου, με απομεινάρια από ρωσικά και αγγλικά πυροβόλα. Η τοποθεσία προσφέρει μία εκπληκτική θέα στα νησιά του Ιονίου και μία καλή ιδέα είναι να το επισκεφθείτε με το τρενάκι που ξεκινάει από την παραλία της Πάργας, που δίνει τη δυνατότητα μιας απολαυστικής διαδρομής. Τις νύχτες το κάστρο φωτίζεται, προσφέροντας ένα φαντασμαγορικό θέαμα.
Castle of Ali Pasha
The castle of Ali Pasha is located on a hill between the villages Anthousa and Agia, 5 km north of Parga. This is a massive and imposing building, built in 1814 under the supervision of the Italian engineer Monteleone, aiming to be the base of Ali Pasha during the siege of Parga. The castle has been preserved in very good condition, conjuring images of that time to its guests. During the tour you will see the underground tanks, the pyritapothiki and rooms of Ali Pasha, with fireplace and cabinets. On the north side of the two and ramparts to protect the entrance. also preserved parts of the devil, with remains of Russian and English guns. The location offers a breathtaking view to the Ionian islands and a good idea is to visit the train that starts from the beach of Parga, enabling an enjoyable journey. At night the illuminated castle, offering a spectacular sight.

A phrase used by the Mexicans on our Japan safari was "nothingburger", an informal noun meaning something that is or turns out to be insignificant or lacking in substance. Which sums up the first visit to the area perfectly. Apart from the weekend steamer, we were treated to sweet fuck all. But only took us the whole day to work out that was the case after using Google Translate to ask the friendly station staff at Takekawa Station (being a private railway that ran its own trains and maintained the line, so on so forth, they were aware of all movements).
Anywho, the second time round two weeks later, we were treated to the full-scale operation of Chichibu Railway’s limestone operations. Considered to be a surviving example of non-JR heavy industrial rail freight in Japan, driven by the massive mineral deposits of Mount Bukō, from which its mineral goodies supply the demand for Tokyo’s construction industry. So profitable, in fact, the line is majority-owned by Taiheiyo Cement.
The heart of these workings involves the constant movement of specialised mineral trains weaving between timetabled passenger services that traverse the Chichibu Main Line. The limestone trains are powered by Deki series 100, 300 & 500 class electric locomotives. These iconic blue, box-shaped workhorses pull 20-wagon-long rakes of WoKi and WoKiFu 100 series hopper cars. Such is the case on this sunny afternoon at Arakawa Bridge with Deki 500 Class member 504 working an early running 7105 empty limestone train to the mine at Kamikagemori, just south of Chichibu. A feature I loved on these locos (not to mention still in active from 1967) was the whistles, which almost sounded steam-like and sounded awesome echoing in the valley.

Previously unpublished archive shot from December 2016. I probably held this shot back originally for the motion blur in the woman crossing the road but with hindsight it actually adds to the shot. Enjoy!
"Gordon Bennett" is an informal idiomatic phrase in English used to express surprise or incredulity.
The etymology is somewhat cloudy as there are several nations claiming to have been home to the original Gordon Bennett.
This had fallen from an oak tree near my house. Had intended to take the shot to illustrate a well known phrase for the 116 group but realised I've already done one for that theme.
