Ostgals (“Port end”) district west of Old Town is a collection of low rise homes. Some of them are especially old (as are the narrow cobbled streets). Once the district was inhabitted by dock workers, but today it is also liked by the local elite.
A quiet part of Ventspils, which began to form after the invitation expressed by the Russian government in 1836 and the announced advantages for the surrounding farmers to settle down in the dune belt, in order to prevent the city from becoming dusty with sand. Also it has been a village for fishermen. Nowadays, it is a unique, romantic environment with cobbled quiet streets, attractive 19th century. wooden construction and essential pelargoniums in the windows. Ostgal has been recognized as a monument of urban construction of national importance. In 2009, after a large-scale reconstruction, the city's Theater House "Jūras vārti" provides a buzz in Ostgal. Throughout the year there will be concerts, exhibitions, theater performances, celebrations and balls.
I bought a little hot shoe astrotracer for my camera and thought I would try it out before I find a real Milky Way to shoot.
It moves the sensor in the camera using a GPS signal and moves the sensor along with the movement of the stars allowing for long exposures without star trails. This way you can lower the ISO on the camera to prevent noise. It seemed to work pretty well but does blur the foreground so that needed to be masked in separately.
I thought I would do some light painting of the tree so you could actually see it.

L’histoire du thé vert
L’histoire du thé vert remonte à plus de 4 000 ans, en Chine, où il est considéré comme une boisson précieuse et un symbole de l’harmonie entre l’homme et la nature. Après s’être développé en Chine, le thé vert s’est propagé à travers l’Asie et le reste du monde.
Le thé vert tire son nom de la méthode de préparation utilisée pour empêcher les feuilles de thé de subir une oxydation excessive. Généralement, les feuilles sont cueillies à la main, puis rapidement chauffées pour arrêter le processus d’oxydation. C’est ce qui permet de conserver leur couleur verte naturelle et de préserver les bienfaits du thé vert pour la santé.
The History of Green Tea
The history of green tea dates back over 4,000 years to China, where it is considered a precious beverage and a symbol of harmony between man and nature. After developing in China, green tea spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world.
Green tea gets its name from the preparation method used to prevent the tea leaves from undergoing excessive oxidation. Typically, the leaves are hand-picked and then quickly heated to stop the oxidation process. This is what keeps their natural green color and preserves the health benefits of green tea.

Along the river IJssel is at Zutphen in the floodplains this Storks nest, where we can clearly see two young Storks.
Stork live in the proximity of the human being. They nest preferably on human structures. In many folktales have featured the stork as a bringer of good fortune and new life. Mid 70s was the stork virtually disappeared from the Netherlands.
Through a rescue program with storks stations prevent the breeding species as extinct in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the bird no longer appears on the Red List.
In the Netherlands are now more than 1,000 breeding pairs of storks.
☛ This is what we saw during our Bicycle tours in the Netherlands, where we have cycled through the beautiful landscape.

Die weiße Mohnsorte wird nur sehr selten angebaut. Sie wird zur Herstellung von Opium und Morphin für medizinische Zwecke angebaut. Um den Anbau zu überwachen und seinen Missbrauch außerhalb der Medizin zu verhindern, wird der Anbau von den Behörden geregelt.
Sie wird gelegentlich als Nussersatz verwendet. Der süße, wunderbar nussige Geschmack eignet sich für alle Süßspeisen, aber auch für Backwaren oder zum Verfeinern von Pastasaucen.
(Ich kann Strudel oder Eis mit weißem Mohn empfehlen)
Der weiße Mohn hat wunderschöne Blüten und ist ein so genannter Blindmohn, bei dem die Kapseln geschlossen bleiben.
The white poppy variety is very rarely cultivated. It is cultivated for the production of opium and morphine for medical purposes. In order to monitor cultivation and prevent its abuse outside medicine, cultivation is regulated by the authorities.
It is occasionally used as a nut substitute. The sweet, wonderfully nutty flavour is suitable for all sweet dishes, as well as for use in baked goods or to soften pasta sauces.
(I can recommend strudel or ice cream with white poppy seeds)
The white poppy has beautiful flowers and is a so-called blind poppy, where the capsules remain closed.
The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.

Some people can subconsciously prevent you from becoming your best self.
Everything you do in this life- where you go, what you say, what you do and who you do it with is the result of your thoughts.
A big reason people fight is because people identify with their thoughts. When we were growing up, most of us believed that thoughts come from the inside. We thought that they were innately a part of us and that we *are* our thoughts. We started building our whole identities around our own little internal monologues.
And the bigger the idea, the more of your identity it represents. This is why politics and religion are such hotly debated topics, because they're such big ideas. If I say your political idea is a bad idea, and you base your identity on that idea, then effectively what you're hearing is that I'm calling you a bad person. You think that I'm attacking you, not the idea.
Something that might be even more common is that people just straight up attack the individual as a proxy for attacking that person's idea.
Somewhere along the way, a few people started realizing they had it all wrong.
In practice, a much better way to think about it is that the universe has an infinite number of streams of thoughts, so to speak, that our brains can kind of tap into like different radio stations. With this analogy, we no longer have to view ourselves as a series of thoughts but rather as an empty vessel by which thoughts pass through. Now we're like the DJ of a radio station, not the individual song. The self is merely an observer. It was this distinction that sparked one of the most famous philosophical debates of all time, which is, I think therefore I am versus I *do* therefore I am.
Spolier alert, you should pick the latter.
In this analogy, the self is determined by our ability to pick and choose different ideas from different streams of thoughts and combine them to form new ideas. Sort of like picking ingredients to make a sandwich.
This is different from the first paradigm, in which we would just take everything from the same stream and hope that the sandwich turns out good anyways.
Therapists know that this works, that's why when people come in complaining about depression, they're told to use the term "negative intrusive thoughts".
The idea is actually pretty simple. If you don't take ownership of the idea and instead you assign a label to it, then you can categorize it as something that life just happened to send your way but something that you're also allowed to throw away. You don't have to hold on to it because it's not actually a part of you. It's just a shitty song on the radio station.
So how does this all relate to other people holding you back?

Ruins of a medieval castle on a steep rocky hill rising over Mayschoß in the valley of the Ahr. It dates back to the 11th century and was extended thereafter. In 1704 it was blown up to prevent it from falling in enemy hands. Today only the foundations and few remains of the walls are still visible.
This method of farming uses "steps" that are built into the side of a mountain or hill. On each level, various crops are planted. When it rains, instead of washing away all of the nutrients in the soil, the nutrients are carried down to the next level. Additionally, these steps prevent a free flowing avalanche of water that would take plants with it and destroy the all of the crops on the hillside

Two Icelandic subjects in this photo: horses and abandoned farms.
The Icelandic horse is most famous for its fifth gait or tölt (gait). This fifth gait is unique to the Icelandic horse and provides a more stable and even pace, with three of the animal's legs touching the ground at the same time. You can then drink a cup of coffee without spilling it. Horses are not allowed to be imported into Iceland to prevent diseases. And once an Icelandic horse has been outside Iceland, it is not allowed to return.
And then the abandoned farms. More and more farms are empty and falling into ruins. I always find it a sad sight. There are several reasons, but the most important is that you have to work hard for a low income and especially that there are no successors. As in many countries, young people here also move to the city because that is where the employment opportunities are. Too bad for the small villages too.

The Little Rock Nine were a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas.

South End, Boston.
No fence, can stop the course of love
No fence, that stretches high above
No fence, can stop a beating heart
Keep all passion, now apart
No fence will prevent real desire
Even if its built, higher and higher
It will never stop, a beating heart
No fence, will keep true love apart

Accept to make a fool of yourself, once in a while. And graciously laugh out loud about it.

Old infrastructure problem at Albani Falls Dam in Oldtown, Idaho. The gate is just about rusted through, and the others are not far behind, apparently. I has been intentionally left open to prevent further damage or catastrophic failure. There is about a 15' difference in water level between the 2 sides, creating quite the rush of water! This is the Pend Oreille River, which carries much of the rain and snowmelt water from the NW Rocky Mountains to the Columbia River, and then to the Pacific Ocean.
ENG: The view from the city side of the gate of the Brandenburg state capital Potsdam can be seen.
The Brandenburg Gate at Luisenplatz in Potsdam was built in 1771 by Carl von Gontard and Georg Christian Unger on behalf of Friedrich II. It stands at the western end of Brandenburger Straße, which runs in a straight line to the church of St. Peter and Paul. It is one of the three preserved city gates of Potsdam.
Earlier, in 1733, there was another, simpler gate at the same place, which resembled a city gate. Together with the city wall, a kind of customs wall or excise wall, and the other gates, it was supposed to prevent desertion and smuggling.
GER: Zu sehen ist die Stadtseitige Ansicht des Tores der brandenburgischen Landeshauptstadt Potsdam.
Das Brandenburger Tor am Luisenplatz in Potsdam wurde 1771 von Carl von Gontard und Georg Christian Unger im Auftrag Friedrichs II. gebaut. Es steht am westlichen Ende der Brandenburger Straße, welche in gerader Linie bis zur Kirche St. Peter und Paul verläuft. Es ist eines der drei erhaltenen Stadttore von Potsdam.
Früher, 1733, gab es an derselben Stelle ein anderes, einfacheres Tor, welches einem Stadttor ähnelte. Zusammen mit der Stadtmauer, einer Art Zollmauer oder Akzisemauer, und den anderen Toren sollte es die Desertion und den Schmuggel unterbinden.
The history of Gas Street Basin (sourced from Wikipedia)
The Birmingham Canal, completed in 1773, terminated at Old Wharf beyond Bridge Street. When the Worcester and Birmingham Company started their canal at a point later known as Gas Street Basin the Birmingham Canal Navigations Company (BCN) insisted on a physical barrier to prevent the Worcester and Birmingham Canal from benefiting from their water!
The Worcester Bar, a 7-foot-3-inch-wide (2.21 m) straight barrier 84 yards (77 m) long was built perpendicular to the run of the two canals. Cargoes had to be laboriously manhandled between boats on either side.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal opened between Birmingham and Selly Oak on 30 October 1795 but took until 1815 to complete to Worcester, at which time, after much lobbying by iron and coal masters and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal Company, an Act of Parliament was passed to open up the bar and the bar lock was built. There were toll offices either side of the bar lock and tolls were collected by each company from boats using the canals.
The Worcester Bar still exists, with boats moored to both sides of it (where the boats are moored in this picture). It is connected to Gas Street via a footbridge reconstructed to a design by Horseley Ironworks of the 19th century (on the right side of the picture).
During the 1990s much of the area around the basin was redeveloped and older buildings refurbished.
The story goes that the Spaniards brought donkeys to Bonaire to assist with salt production. When donkeys were no longer needed, they went feral on the island. They are now controversial. To some they damage the environment, eating native plants and preventing reforestation. To others, they are a part of history, not to mention adorable and gentle animals.
This donkey was all alone on a vast Salina. My camera is practically sitting on the ground because I wanted to get the separation betwen the brown donkey and the surrounding terrain. Fortunately, the donkey just watched me as I did my thing. To me the clouds look like those "thought clouds" in cartoons. If so, this donkey has a lot on its mind.

I had planned to make this figure since the first time we saw him on screen, but lack of set photos or overall clear pictures on the internet prevented that. Thanks to last Tuesday's episode that is no longer the case. The symbol, like my Wally West Flash, is a stud sanded down and placed on the chest to save time trying to paint a circle and to make it stand out like I think it should.
This character is shaping up to be one of the greatest adversaries the Flash has ever faced. I saw someone on YT post a comment "This guy makes Reverse Flash look like a playground bully." It is very true.
I just hope that they do not make him become a cliche villain by making him either an evil Barry or Henry or Wally. Idk who else that leaves as Eddie is on a different show right now. Idk but I really hope it's not then.
Also the lighting is weird as it was the only way you could see the details on the figure. The symbol looks weird because there is a shine on it. Trust me it looks way better IRL. I'll make a video soon that will hopefully show this figure off more.
This bird and others in its flock have to be extremely wary as theres a male sparrowhawk about !!
1 of my favourite little birds their feisty ,beautiful just a joy to see. Even the youngsters have attitude !!
Greenfinch populations declined during the late 1970s and early 1980s, but increased dramatically during the 1990s. A recent decline in numbers has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly.

Not everyone likes it, but I find this environment very fascinating, despite its rough and cold appearance.
As mentioned, the abundance of siliceous and calcareous rocks combined with the strong winds of Bora/Bura and Scirocco/Jugo, prevent the rooting of humus and therefore the fertility of the soil, despite the fact that the entire area has some of the most abundant rainfall in Europe.
Even in the Mediterranean area, the Northern Adriatic has a temperate climate and rainfall distributed throughout the year, with minimums in February and July and a maximum in autumn, but all months have at least 60mm or 60l/m2 of rain.
It never fails! The weather prevented me from getting in close on a day the birds were active all morning! There is always tomorrow! Have a great day!
The house in the centre on the cliff is the former home of the Prime Minister. It sits empty while the government decides what to do with it. The very large cost of refurbishing the building is preventing the government from undertaking the repairs. In the meantime the prime minister has his home in a cottage on the grounds of the Governor General across the street. The Peace Tower of Parliament Hill is in the distance beyond the house.
To prevent this Cathedral from collapsing onto people passing by in the frequent Christchurch earthquakes, a row of containers on top of each was propped against the building. As you can see the quakes caused this column to rub against the containers leaving these marks.

I can probably count the number of times I've used a 6 stop filter on one hand and that excludes the thumb. This is partly because I'm too lazy to calculate the amount of time required most often resorting to guesswork but also because I never seem to find the right kind of image in the right kind of light. Today was slightly different however, the trees were still, the mist was rising, the water swirling and there was really only one thing preventing me from having a go...I was on a barge! 9 shots straight in the trash but this one crept through.
Thank you for pausing :)

The River Dee, Chester City, Cheshire, UK.
The River Dee Coordinates...52.8322°N 3.7656°W.
The River Dee was the traditional boundary of the Kingdom of Gwynedd in Wales for centuries, possibly since its founding in the 5th century. It was recorded in the 13th century (in mainstream Middle English orthography, lacking the letters v and w) as flumen Dubr Duiu; the name appears to derive from the Brythonic dēvā: "River of the Goddess" or "Holy River". The river is personified as the war and fate goddess Aerfen.
The river name inspired the name of Roman fortress Deva Victrix.
It is the only river in the UK to be subject to a Water Protection Zone along its whole length down to Chester weir.
West of Chester, the river flows along an artificial channel excavated between 1732 and 1736. The work was planned and undertaken by engineers from the Netherlands and paid for by local merchants and Chester Corporation. It was an attempt to improve navigation for shipping and reduce silting. Chester's trade had declined steadily since the end of the 17th century as sediment had prevented larger craft reaching the city, spelling the end for the Port of Chester.

This was after the sun set behind the mountains... sometimes the sky does crazy things. This is pretty much straight out of the camera and I just did everything I could to prevent the highlights from blowing out and to minimize oversaturation artifacts.
Yesterday we decided to take a walk around Loch Affric, which is only accessible on foot. Unfortunately the burns at the top which have no bridge access prevented us from doing the full circuit, but the parts we could could reach provided some amazing scenery.
The weather was harsh; sun, rain, hail, but then the occasional rainbow. This was taken the walk back. The Caledonian Pine adds a little something... I like that it's still very much raining!
Parce que la prévention est importante
Parce que nous sommes toutes concernées
Parce que, survivante de cette saleté, je sais qu'il n'existe meilleur médecin que nous même
Parce qu'en ce jour précisément, plus que jamais, cette cause m'importe, ma maman aurait eu 76 ans aujourd'hui si, il y a 32 ans, ce petit ruban rose avait suffi à changer la donne...
Because prevention is important
Because we're all concerned
Because, survivor of breast cancer, I know that there is no better doctor than ourselves
Because on this very particulary day, more than ever, this cause matters to me, my mother would have been 76 years old today if, 32 years ago, this little pink ribbon had been enough to change the game...
...cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
Poem by W.H. Auden
We will miss you, Bob! He passed this morning. I will be back on flickr later...today, there are too many things to be done. Thanks so very much for all of your kind comments and messages. It means much more than you know!!!!!
Another from the period of freak weather we had in the UK recently, low cloud , flat light and very light winds ( Dunkelflaute, or Dark Doldrums ) for the entire time I was in Scotland. At least on this day it wasn't raining that very fine mizzle that constantly gets on your lens despite everything you do to prevent it. Loved this waterfall though and the rock in the foreground ( that I was actually standing on ) provides texture and colour framed by the water and connecting to the autumn tones above the waterfall.
