In the early days Veere was a flourishing commercial city. This prosperity can be found in the beautiful historical premises. The town of Veere arose in the twelfth century. The following centuries the town was being used to store Scottish wool. Veere still has these typical Scottish homes, which were built in the sixteenth century by rich Scottish merchants. At the Kaai in Veere, two of these Scottish houses still stand, and they remind people of the wool trade back in those days. Antique collections of the last private owners are among the things which can be admired here. Also fans of porcelain, furniture, style rooms and stitch costumes have much to look at. In the Scottish houses you can regularly go to see different expositions of the artists from Veere.

Big church Veere
The big church is from 1348 and it is a really great sight. As from 1811 the church was being used by Napoleon’s soldiers as a military hospital; the church was a beggars house and a barrack for a while as well. You can still clearly see the traces of an eventful past.

The Abbey of St. Jean des Vignes was a monastery of Augustinian canons in Soissons, France, southwest of the city center. Only ruins remain, of which the west facade remains one of the more outstanding examples of architecture in the town. It is a listed historic monument.
The abbey was founded on St. John's hill in 1076 by Hughes Le Blanc as a community of Augustinian canons.
Initially built in Romanesque style, the initial buildings were replaced at the end of the 12th century by those extant today. The west facade was begun in the 12th century, but not finished until the 16th. The refectory and cellar date from the 13th century, parts of the cloisters from the end of the 13th century, while other parts are from the 16th century, as is the abbot's lodging.
When the abbey was suppressed during the French Revolution the premises were put to use for military purposes, and an arsenal was added.
The site was acquired by the town of Soissons in the 1970s and the remaining buildings are now occupied by educational and heritage-related organizations.

The Kirchdorf high-rise is a 52-metre-high building with 16 storeys, built in 1955 by order of Hans Liebherr for employees of the Liebherr company. Located opposite the Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH premises in Kirchdorf on the Iller in Upper Swabia, The high-rise building is regarded in the town as a sign of the economic upswing in the area after the Second World War, which is associated with the name Liebherr and the invention of the tower crane. Following its renovation at the beginning of the third millennium, it has become the town's landmark.
The high-rise building is located near Liebherrstraße at the confluence of Heimstraße and Hochhausstraße, named after the high-rise building, opposite Kirchdorf Bürgerpark. With its 16 floors, it is the highest building in the community and was the highest building in the district of Biberach at the time of its construction.

...City
While Rome is the Eternal City one might call Berlin the eternal building site. Or The Unfinished City. Construction cranes are as prominently featured in Berlin's skyline as sights. And it can happen that, if you haven't visited a place in a longer while ("easy" in pandemic times), you'll find old, familiar buildings gone, while new buildings seem to pop up out of nowhere everywhere. I've taken this image last week after a visit to the Futurium (a "House of the Future", opened in 2019 – I'll post images from there soon); in the foreground you can see the river Spree, and the glass building on the left is Berlin's Central Station, the Hauptbahnhof (HBF). Noteworthy: The HBF's upper platforms aren't fully roofed, because the Deutsche Bahn (DB; the German Railway Company) wanted to open the HBF in time for the 2006 World Football Championship by all means, and it would have taken until 2008 to finish the roof. The irony: All the construction parts needed to finish the roof were already manufactured. To this date these parts are stored on the premises of Berlin's East Station. Will the roof ever be finished? Who knows... The construction site you see in front of the HBF has nothing to do with the HBF's roof. It is that of the new S 21 suburban railway line, which is scheduled for completion in 2022. Allegedly...
At first, I wanted to process this as a monochrome, because the scene is rather busy. But I liked all these colours. So I thought "embrace the chaos, embrace the construction site and all those cranes", and do it in colour ;) The final image is an HDR made from three images (in HDR Efex), with further processing / sliding steps in Color Efex.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and take care!
Die Unvollendete
Rom ist ja bekanntlich die Ewige Stadt. Und Berlin könnte man getrost als die Ewige Baustelle bezeichnen. Oder auch als Die Unvollendete. Baukräne gehören zur Berliner Skyline wie seine Sehenswürdigkeiten. Gerade in Pandemiezeiten, wenn man manche Orte schon lange nicht mehr besucht hat, kann es dann auch passieren, dass alte, vertraute Gebäude plötzlich verschwunden sind, während allerorten Neues entsteht. Dieses Foto des Hauptbahnhofs mit einem Seitenarm der Spree im Vordergrund habe ich vergangene Woche nach einem Besuch des Futuriums (2019 eröffnet, Fotos von dort zeige ich demnächst) gemacht. Die Baustelle am Europaplatz, die Ihr hier seht, bedeutet allerdings nicht, dass die Deutsche Bahn nun doch das Dach für die oberen Bahnsteige des Hauptbahnhofs verlängern würde. Die dafür nötigen Bauteile, längst fertiggestellt, lagern weiterhin (hoffentlich gut verstaut) am Berliner Ostbahnhof. Diese Baustelle gehört zur neuen S-Bahnlinie S21, für die ein unterirdischer Bahnsteig gebaut wird. Geplante Fertigstellung: 2022. Warten wir's ab.
Ich wollte das Foto erst als SW / getöntes Monochrom bearbeiten, weil hier ja ganz schön viel los ist. SW sah mir aber zu trüb aus, weshalb ich bei Farbe geblieben bin. Das Foto habe ich in HDR Efex aus einer 3er-Belichtungsreihe erstellt und für Sliders Sunday in Color Efex noch den einen oder anderen Filter (ich weiß wirklich nicht mehr, welche Filter genau) angewendet.
Habt einen guten Wochenstart und passt weiterhin gut auf Euch auf!
Normally, I don't let Rooster out until I know Mama moose has left the premises but she came back so it was a surprise that her and Rooster met up. Now, If any of you wonder what would happen if you encounter any wildlife on the trail how your dog would react....well, they bring them back to you. That's right, Mama moose came galloping right past me down my driveway. She doesn't perceive me as a threat so I was safe. Imagine if that was a bear? Something I learned from this picture is when a moose is perturbed their ears go comically sideways. She has never showed me that facial expression.
Of course, Rooster thinks it is all a game, just another horse on the property.
As a side note, sadly Rooster got ran over by a truck just outside my ranch gate by a passerby going about 80, he was rushed to the Dog ER on Sunday. He suffered a pulmonary contusion so he is on bed rest and as you can imagine not happy about it now that he is on the mend. All a very traumatic ordeal, I will forever be haunted by his cry as he got run over. Hope he has learned his lesson about cars as I never had a dog that didn't respect motorized vehicles. Had I known, I wouldn't have rescued him, there is only one ending, but apparently Rooster has a guardian angel. BTW- ER Vets think you shit out money, just saying. $1600 a night. This dog is going to give me a heart attack yet. Where is my beloved Sadie Dawg when I need her? Heavy sigh....
and that art consists of working with fictional premises :-)

Honkan (本館, main building) in the right was built during the Edo period before Meiji Restoration in 1868, Kura (蔵, treasury) in the left was built in 1885, and the buildings in the back in 1914,
The main building was originally built for Touji (湯治), a traditional form of tourism for therapeutic bathing to improve health and/or to cure disease and injury. Guests cooked foods for themselves and stayed for weeks at the spa. Therefore a communal self-catering kitchen is still attached to the establishment.
Touji had been a popular leisure activity rivalling pilgrimage before modern tourism was introduced after Meiji Restoration.
The James Ryan Ltd Retail and Wholesale Distributors buildings are part of the Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
James Ryan Ltd. was established in the Bayley's Cove section of Bonavista in 1857 where it operated a pub as well as a retail store. The main operation was relocated to its present location on Bonavista harbour in 1869 and liquor was only sold in bulk and the fishery became the main focus. The company bought and sold salt cod, supplied salt and other materials for the cod fishery, and sold general merchandise. By 1895 James Ryan Ltd exported 100,000 quintals (approximately 5,000,000 kg) of salt cod, approximately 10% of the total for Newfoundland.James Ryan Ltd. exited the fishing industry in 1952 and continued on as a general store until closing in 1978. In 1987, the Ryan Premises at Bonavista were designated as a National Historic Site. Parks Canada took over the property and it was officially opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II on June 24, 1997 to mark the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's landfall at Bonavista.

The Make and Brake Engine on display at the Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Make and break inboard motors were among the first technological advances to help revolutionize fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador. They allowed fishermen to save their strength for fishing, not wasting it on paddling or hauling sails as they had done before. Most often installed in trap skiffs, the hull was first cut away to accommodate water intake and output, which helped cool the engine. The large motor was then bolted to the inside of the boat, usually in a motor house, with the propeller advancing through the stern, driving the vessel forward. These dependable, sturdy, single cylinder, gasoline engines have been called many names, and while make and break is the most common, putt-putt engine, one-lungers,or pik-a-puk, are all used to describe the same type of engine.

Hufeisensiedlung, Berlin
Stavenhagener Straße
Architekt: Martin Wagner
"The Britz Metropolitan Settlement for 5,000 people was erected from 1925 onwards on the premises of the former Britz Manor. Taut integrated architecture and topography, not only with the horseshoe surrounding a glacial pond that gave the settlement its name. He used asymmetries and a staggered arrangement of the blocks of buildings as his defining urbanistic principle.
Three-storey buildings of flats frame lower two-storey rows of individual houses. This frame, with its "red front", appears almost rugged along Fritz-Reuter-Allee, a provocative demarcation from the neighbouring Eierteich Settlement with its traditionalistic design. Upon protests from Conservative members of parliament, the magistrate had taken these premises out of Taut's area of planning and assigned them to DeGeWo. That is why construction phases 3 and 5, with their rows of houses on Buschkrugallee and Parchimer Allee, are situated apart from the rest of the Horseshoe Settlement.
In the sixth and final construction phase in 1929/30, fourteen rows of houses, standing decidedly closer together, were built showing a reduced design and having no projections and set-offs. This permitted a more rational construction with just a few elements, a reaction to the reduction of subsidies from rent tax proceeds." stadtentwicklung.berlin.de
"Die bastionsartig vortretenden halbrunden Treppenhäuser liegen nach Süden zur Stavenhagener Straße. Tiefgelbe Eckhäuser fassen die langen weißen Gebäudefronten ein. Das Besondere in Bezug auf die Freianlagen ist, dass die Mietergärten hier vor dem Gebäude liegen. Die Zugangswege wurden vorne durch zwei Robinien gerahmt und führen jeweils zwischen zwei mit Ligusterhecken umstandenen Mietergärten hindurch zu den Haustüren." hufeisensiedlung.info

Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
The Ryan Premises is a National Historic Site of Canada located in the town of Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is preserved as an example of a large-scale merchant operation in a Newfoundland outport.
The site consists of the proprietor's house, a carriage shed, a retail shop, a retail store, a fish store and a salt store. The staff house, adjacent to but not part of the historical site, is a Registered Heritage Structure. Earlier, the premises also included a larger salt store, a cooperage, a powder magazine, a telegraph office, wharves, fish flakes, a lumber yard and a shipyard.

Another photo taken in the premises of Yamada Ryokan.
The building in the right is called Nagaya (長屋) that is an Edo period construction. The building in the centre is Yudono (湯殿) that houses a hotspring bath, and the three -story building is called Shinkan (新館, new wing) for guest rooms although it is old enough. The two were constructed in 1914 during the Taishou era (大正時代 1907-1926). These three architectures are listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Heritage.
They are traditional structures supported by wooden pillars and beams, which allow installing plenty of glass windows.
In my opinion, this is architecturally the best part of the Japanese inn.
The building behind Shinkan is Bekkan (別館, annex) that is a reinforced concrete structure built in late 20th century. It may be comfortable to stay but is less attractive for photo shooting.
Lurking behind the undergrowth and the canopy of a live oak tree, a solitary white ibis was found roosting virtually in the darkness hoping to catch a moment of slumber during its busy day of carefree activity at Flamingo Gardens in Fort Lauderdale Florida.
Needless to say, white ibis can be found virtually anywhere on the premises but it takes a skillful eye, which I’m still humbly developing, to find appealing and compelling light.
I’ve found, that, fill light allows one to accentuate plumage and ensure micro contrasting of your subject. It becomes even more challenging shooting manually using the flash and the camera settings when distances vary. Photographing white still is elusive to me on a consistent basis.
Photography continues to challenge me and sometimes it can turn a patient person impatient but at the same time, it’s the learning process that makes it so rewarding.
Thank you once again for all comments, fav’s and words of inspiration. My friends allow me to embrace the fine art of light.
Every year, the Tesselaar family, famous for their tulips, host two flower festivals at their show garden premises in Silvan in the Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne. They began many years ago with their Tulip Festival in spring, which attracts visitors locally, from interstate and internationally. However, in the last few years, the Tesselaar family have started hosting an autumn festival too, called “Ka-Bloom” which I think has now eclipsed the tulip festival with its amazing plantongs. The Ka-Bloom festival sees the gardens filled with colour from mass plantings of snapdragons, dwarf dahlias, salvias and marigolds.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" the 21st of November is "one flower in focus", so when the theme was announced, I remembered a photograph I had taken of the French marigolds in bloom in the gardens of the Tesselaar Ka-Bloom festival, in April of this year. It had been a cool and crisp morning, and when the gates first opened and my partner and I went in, there were still some blooms that had dewdrops on them, like this vibrant French marigold, which is bejewelled with them! As the day progressed, it warmed up quickly and soon the pretty dewdrops I captured on this orange bloom were no more. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

Bagha Mosque (Bengali: বাঘা মসজিদ) is a mosque located at Bagha, 40 kilometres (25 mi) southeast of Rajshahi in Bangladesh. The mosque was built in 1523-1524 (930 AH) by Sultan Nusrat Shah, son of Alauddin Shah, the founder of the Husain Shahi dynasty. Later, the mosque was renovated at different times and when the domes of the mosque collapsed, the destroyed mosque was rebuilt in 1897.
The masonry of Bagha Mosque is made of lime and surki (powdered brick). There are arches and pillars inside and outside the mosque. There are also innumerable terracotta handicrafts which include mango, lily flowers, herbs and thousands of other handicrafts used in the Persian carving industry. Besides, there is a shrine of Shahdaula and his five companions on the north side of the mosque premises.

(5/5) Premises by premises, public space by public space, inch by inch we hand over our belongings, our ownership to be treated back to safety and security. We trusted to be treated the way we should. We are trading our lives now. When our quarantines are broken, permissions issued, it is the system that is ready to 'treat' us, us and our diseases, us and our corpses, us and our insurances. Pegs return to stations, ready to turn and let turn.
Interestingly, an equality comes with this disease. We all have to line up to get inside the supermarket to get toilet paper or bleach. We all have to buy the unpopular pasta brand now. We all have to report to the young admission desk clerk to walk into the clinic. It is all military and we must be grateful. We certainly don't want to die like those people who are not as fortunate as we are.
What we treasure more, some consciously and some not, is the untouchable world inside, the ocean of consciousness, the land of the truly free. We hide in it, take refuge in it, treasure it.
With the question of how are you doing these days, we take our defenses up. What? Now you need to know what goes inside? "I'm all right. It's a small price to pay."
The fact is it is a huge price to pay. Here in America being was limited by confusion due to an abundance of options and now we are limited by our inabilities or even worse by lack of permissions. We lost permissions and those who do not want it, have to learn how to live without.
Old confusions due to a plethora of options are gone. Old choices are gone, old options, old confusions. We are limited by lacks, lack of permissions.
Now confusion belongs to those who push the limits without permissions or beyond permissions. Confusion belongs to those trying to separate themselves from collective security that government aparatus promises with no guarantee.

Sadly not anymore for the LTB is a non-profit diy Arts, Music & Community venue - we’re a showcase for Coventry’s grassroots culture!
The premises were originally built in 1910 as prestigious showrooms for The Rover Company - and have had various uses since then. A Food Office for collecting ration stamps and council hq during wartime, then (following a major facelift in 1955) several department store occupations - then, most recently, The Litten Tree Pub.
Now under demolishment and redevelopment is planned, with the building set to be replaced as part of the City Centre South residential scheme - Coventry City Council has however granted us ‘meanwhile use’ foc, until 10/1/25.
It was a wonderful privilege for me, to go through this building, with the Coventry Photography Group and share with them their loss of this very fine community venue building, in which many of their photos were on display there and I was glad to provide some of my photos to a photographer (Bill Savage) who is writing a book and making a publication of this place; Titled: Shooting the Photographer!
Many thanks to you all, for your wonderful kind comments and compliments from you here, my dear good flicker friends !!!
The Basilica of Santa María del Coro is a Baroque Roman Catholic church located in the Old Town of San Sebastián. Completed in 1774, it was built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church. The basilica features a striking façade adorned with sculptures, including a prominent depiction of Saint Sebastian, the city’s patron saint. The basilica serves as a significant cultural and historical landmark in the city, housing a Diocesan Museum within its premises.
Shot around a temple premises in the middle of a forest. The temple rituals involve sacrifices of goats which are then cooked into a meal and distributed to the poor as free food. This happens once a week and the leftover blood attracts several flycatchers.
The Taiga flycatcher is a small flycatcher from Palearctic region that winters in India. They are not easy to sight and harder to id since the Red-Breasted Flycatcher looks very similar except for a few minor differences (like feet color, beak and tail colors). We sighted 2-3 of them and they were quite wary of some monkeys nearby. Monkeys tend to grab birds for food and hence birds fly away quickly.
Thanks in advance for your views, favorites and feedback.
This shot was the result of me making the (for me) monumental decision of leaving the premises and venturing out into Big Lake Park, northeast of Edmonton.
I hadn’t got out much this summer, mostly because it’s raining a lot (actually, I really hate going out) and the air was not that great in June due to the wildfires up north (yes, even further north than Edmonton) but I could not resist taking part in the Big Lake Bird Walk sponsored by the folks from Wild Birds Unlimited. These are the guys that keep me in peanuts. The walk just about did not take place since in the afternoon we had another stormy and rainy weather scenario. But by walk start time, 6:30pm, things had cleared up and the group took off. I had been to that area before, several years ago, so it was not completely alien to me, and had heard people talking about the yellow-headed black birds that call these wetlands their home. That was the main reason I found myself there. Since, for me, this was mainly an exploratory excursion, I left the big equipment at home and chose the more walk-friendly lighter combo of EOS 70D and 100-400mm EF. That was a great decision, since at first we did not see any of my targeted birds. So, to get at least some juice (lemons, etc), I concentrated on ordinary black birds and some swallows and began to dawdle, dropping way behind the main pack of bird watching individuals. All of a sudden, I hear “Franz … Franz” being called out. I wondered who the hell knew my name here and what was I doing to attract all this attention. Then I remembered telling Vicki (bestest peanut supplier and one of the walk leaders) that I had high hopes to capture one of these blackbirds. Well, her eagle eyes had scouted one of these elusive little guys and after surfacing from my self-induced trance I hurried over and set up camp.
I was getting despondent because the light was dwindling and I feared not being able to get a shot. Then I remembered the remote lighting equipment I was carrying in my pack. I grabbed it and hurried into the swamp trying not to disturb my target nor to drown my equipment. Ok, there goes another pair of hiking boots. No chance of getting decent reflections since I disturbed the water way too much. And wouldn’t you know it, it worked. I will, however invest in some hip waders … damn, these things are expensive. Ok, ok, I cannot continue with this joke… Much easier to set up the spot lights in Affinity than to attempt this in real nature while being consumed by mosquitos.
In addition to getting the shot of a new bird I also had a great time talking with Don Delaney who was sharing his unlimited birding expertise with anyone having questions and thanks to Vickie for pointing out the attractions.

One from a productive evening in my local church with Neil Rushby who managed to persuade the rev to let two light painting lunatics loose in his premises. Orb tool broke so I had to improvise with a swirly orb using duct tape, acrylic rod and a Coast quad colour torch....

Corta Atalaya...Un lugar emblematico donde los haya, la Historia no se olvida..
Esta aldea se construyó para la explotación subterránea de Filón de San Dionisio, que en 1907 pasaría a ser el yacimiento a cielo abierto Corta Atalaya.
En 1873, Rio Tinto Company adquirió las minas de Riotinto y planteó como problema el traslado de los trabajadores desde sus hogares hasta el puesto de trabajo y, teniendo en cuenta únicamente premisas económicas, planificó la construcción de viviendas donde ya los mineros habían construido chozas para pernoctar cerca del lugar de trabajo. De esta forma la compañía se limitó a sustituir las chozas o cabañas por edificaciones más duraderas, construyendo barriadas en el lugar elegido por los mineros. Se comenzó con la construcción de 100 viviendas, de 45 metros cuadrados, reduciendo las necesidades de alojamiento hasta su mínima expresión.
La compañía dotó a este núcleo de plaza pública, capilla, almacén de comestibles, casino, escuela, cuartel de la Guardia Civil. Esta barriada albergó a parte de la población de trabajadoras de Riotinto durante casi un siglo.
En 1970 se aprobó un ambicioso proyecto para la ampliación de Corta Atalaya, en el cual se contemplaba la destrucción de esta aldea. Un año más tarde el proyecto fue llevado a cabo y, tras alojar a los habitantes en Alto de la Mesa, El Valle o en Nerva, se demolieron todas sus viviendas.
En la actualidad, aún se pueden observar las fantasmales ruinas del colegio esta aldea, al oeste de la Corta que durante muchos años fue la mayor explotación a cielo abierto del mundo.4
Fue escenario del rodaje de la película histórica El corazón de la tierra, de Antonio Cuadri, y de la película de ciencia-ficción PROXIMA, de Carlos Atanes.5
En su avance, también fue necesaria la destrucción del antiguo pueblo de La Mina, alzándose un nuevo pueblo en su ubicación actual que se llama Minas de Riotinto.
Short Watchtower ...An emblematic place where there are ... History is not forgotten ...
This village was built for the underground exploitation of Filón de San Dionisio, which in 1907 would become the Corta Atalaya open-air deposit.
In 1873, Rio Tinto Company acquired the Riotinto mines and raised as a problem the transfer of workers from their homes to the workplace and, taking into account only economic premises, planned the construction of houses where the miners had already built shacks to spend the night near the workplace. In this way, the company limited itself to replacing the huts or cabins with more durable buildings, building neighborhoods in the place chosen by the miners. It began with the construction of 100 homes, measuring 45 square meters, reducing housing needs to a minimum.
The company provided this nucleus with a public square, chapel, grocery store, casino, school, and Civil Guard barracks. This neighborhood housed part of Riotinto's working population for almost a century.
In 1970, an ambitious project for the expansion of Corta Atalaya was approved, in which the destruction of this village was contemplated. A year later the project was carried out and, after accommodating the inhabitants in Alto de la Mesa, El Valle or in Nerva, all their homes were demolished.
Today, you can still see the ghostly ruins of the school in this village, to the west of La Corta, which for many years was the largest open-pit mine in the world.4
It was the setting for the filming of the historical film El corazón de la tierra, by Antonio Cuadri, and the science fiction film PROXIMA, by Carlos Atanes.5
In its advance, it was also necessary to destroy the old town of La Mina, rising a new town in its current location called Minas de Riotinto.
