1. a benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most.
One of the privileges of the 0400-0800 watch.....sunrise at sea.
If he hadn't been pointed out to me I would have walked right past him! He was small and a couple of metres from the track, only a little above eye level. Just mind blowing and an incredible privilege to be so close for a few moments.
It has been my privilege to travel to most of the parks in the National Park system and to see amazing natural beauty. None of that exceeds the beauty of Dead Horse Point State Park (near Moab, Utah) at sunrise.

This would probably be the "luxury suite" of Oakley. It's closer to the alley, so there is always the hope for some fresh(er) air, and since it's away from the crowd (and the chemical toilet), it's slightly easier to sleep or just relax a little bit. It isn't as protected from the elements, but nothing is perfect. You have to see if the pros outweigh the cons.
I had the privilege of spending yesterday afternoon with this young fellow. His name is Sahaj and he wants to learn film photography. This was an impromptu portrait as we sat on a bench chatting about film cameras. Taken with a Leica M6 on Ilford FP4 film at Fort Langley National Historic Site, Fort Langley British Columbia Canada

Immobile a ruminare, nell'ultima calda Luce del Tramonto.
Poi l'ombra e, un respiro non più caldo, si sostituiva immediatamente.
Pulviscoli nell'Aria ti giravano intorno mentre il tuo pelo si spegneva...
Un gradito incontro in silhouette.
Osservare tutto questo è un dono, innAMÒRarsene una ricchezza!

A stunning flower both yellow and orange, a glorious mixture.
Everyday I have the pleasure and privilege of working with beauty. It is a voyage of discovery, working forensically on flowers, new things every day.
Nature at its very best.
I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...
With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

welcome to the 14th floor, smithers.
thank you sir. I'm honored by the promotion.
you're an executive now, smithers. here is your executive washroom key. don't abuse the privilege.
I wouldn't think of it, sir.
in other words, keep it zipped up, smithers. except when in appropriate use, of course.
of course, sir.
mind the mirrored ceilings. and the towel girls.
towel girls? there's. . . towel girls?
we're all about provding jobs here, smithers.
very commendable, sir. but I. . . I think I have to use the bathroom now, if that's ok.
certainly, smithers. most of us find that we do. all the time.
Honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I hope you all had a great holiday. I am thankful for the privileges we are given. Today IRL I spent the day at the beach, so here's a beach pic. :)
Having had the extreme privilege to watch African Wild Dogs and their most amazing interactions with each other for four days, I am still in shock to think that this was the first time in so many years that I have seen den-based Wild Dog pups. I truly am thankful for this.
In four days, I was able to to capture only a few keepers of the pups, as they just know how to always be under bushes and grass, and never be in the open. This one venturing up on a fallen tree was an absolute highlight, and at last, an image where it was in the open!

Wild Companions: A Tale of Jackdaws and Fallow Deer - A Chilly Morning in Bradgate Park -
Despite the freezing 0°C temperature this morning, I couldn’t resist heading out for a photo tour. The grey winter skies, often caused by increasingly frequent storms due to climate change, can be quite discouraging. However, the soft, glowing hues of the early morning sun always have a magical effect on nature, enhancing every frame we capture and bringing joy to photography enthusiasts like myself. Even the simple act of saying good morning feels different on a bright, sunny day.
Living near the historic Bradgate Park is truly a privilege. As I stepped into the park and took a short five-minute walk, I came across two fallow deer fawns (Dama dama) wandering alone, separated from their herd. Without my camouflage cover, I had to move carefully, stepping only on the damp, soft leaves to avoid making any noise. My 1.4x teleconverter wasn’t attached to my 500mm lens, and attempting to change it would have startled them.
As I observed, a group of jackdaws landed on one of the fawns, searching for ticks and other insects in its fur. It was a beautiful display of interspecies cooperation, and I was delighted to witness this moment of solidarity. Both seemed quite at ease, and the interaction lasted for about two minutes. The young fawn was busy with its morning meal and didn’t allow the jackdaws near its neck. Eventually, it leapt slightly, signaling that it had had enough, and the two little companions trotted back toward their family.
Although it wasn’t the exact shot I had envisioned, I plan to work on this subject in the coming weeks and hope to capture even better frames. One particularly striking moment was when a jackdaw perched near the tail of a fallow deer, beautifully framed against the golden bokeh created by the sunlight reflecting in the background.
During my four-hour tour, I also managed to photograph another fallow deer cautiously keeping an eye on me, maintaining a safe distance. And of course, no trip to Bradgate Park would be complete without capturing my favorite small bird—the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)! I included three different poses of this charming little bird as well.
Now, I leave you with the nine images I uploaded to my Flickr account this afternoon. Thank you all for your comments, favorites, and support. Wishing you a great evening!
Jackdaws and Fallow Deer: A Natural Partnership
Jackdaws and fallow deer share a fascinating mutualistic relationship. These small, intelligent corvids often perch on deer, picking off ticks and other parasites from their coats. This interaction benefits both species: the deer receive much-needed relief from parasites, while the jackdaws gain an easy and nutritious meal. This kind of cleaning symbiosis is commonly observed among different species in the wild, but the cooperation between jackdaws and deer is particularly remarkable. Over the years, I have witnessed this natural partnership many times, reinforcing how interconnected wildlife truly is.
Photographing in natural light is full of unpredictability, which many photographers find both challenging and thrilling. Through my journey in nature photography, I’ve gained the experience to create specific atmospheres and translate my ideas into images. Autumn days in England are often a mix of fleeting sunlight breaking through clouds, and this morning was no exception. A quick glance at the weather report promised sunny conditions until midday.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.
Thank you so much for visiting my gallery, whether you leave a comment, add it to your favorites, or simply take a moment to look around. Your support means a lot to me, and I wish you good luck and beautiful light in all your endeavors.

Plaza Mayor, Almagro, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La plaza medieval sufrió una notable transformación a lo largo del siglo XVI, coincidiendo con la llegada a Almagro de los Fúcar - castellanización del apellido flamenco Fugger -, banqueros súbditos del emperador Carlos V, a quienes se les había arrendado las minas de azogue de Almadén como privilegio por el apoyo económico de la banca familiar durante las guerras de Europa. Se levantaron nuevos edificios en la plaza y se debe a ellos la influencia de las galerías acristaladas, con recuerdos septentrionales, que ennoblecen y dan un aspecto singular a los dos lados mayores de esta Plaza Mayor de Almagro, denominación con la que tradicionalmente se le ha conocido, aunque en distintos momentos haya recibido otros nombre como de la Constitución, de la República, Real o de España, tras la última Guerra Civil. En la década de 1960 se comenzó su restauración que concluyó en 1967, tal como figura en una placa colocada en el edificio del Ayuntamiento. La obra, dirigida por el arquitecto Francisco Pons-Sorolla, devolvió al singular conjunto la nobleza y el esplendor del siglo XVI.
De planta rectangular irregular, uno de sus lados mayores se abre en la parte correspondiente al Palacio Maestral, y según planos antiguos tiene 125 varas de longitud por 44 de anchura, es decir, 104,5 por 37 metros, aproximadamente.
La mayor singularidad de esta plaza se centra en sus lados mayores, donde se levanta un armónico conjunto de viviendas que se disponen sobre soportales en dos alturas, sostenidas por ochenta y cinco columnas de piedra de orden toscano, sobre las que descansan las gruesas zapatas y vigas de madera pintadas de almagre. Estas edificaciones de modestos materiales tienen su mayor originalidad en el doble piso de galería acristalada, que proporciona un característico sabor y notable originalidad al conjunto por tratarse de un caso singular de la arquitectura castellana. Estas galerías estuvieron inicialmente abiertas, eran de carácter público y se utilizaban para presenciar los espectáculos que tenían lugar en la plaza. Posteriormente, fueron cerradas. Sus ventanas balconcillos, al igual que los barrotes torneados, debieron de estar pintados de almagre, pero posteriormente, con motivo de la proclamación del rey Carlos IV en 1788, se pintaron de verde turquesa . Sobre las galerías, sencillos canecillos soportan el alero, y en el tejado, cubierto con teja árabe se levantan buhardillas encaladas, blancas chimeneas y algunas veletas de hierro.
En el lado norte de la plaza, a la derecha desde el Ayuntamiento, se abre el callejón del Villar, donde puede observarse la estructura de la construcción de las viviendas, además de otros elementos, como una columna con capitel tallado en el que figura una jarra con azucenas. En el lado sur se localiza la antigua calle del Toril, hoy del Capitán Parras, en recuerdo de un hijo de este pueblo que murió en 1924, durante la Guerra de África. En esta calle se encuentra la casa de Diego de Molina el Viejo. El soportal y las galerías acristaladas se truncan con dos grandes columnas de granito que sostienen zapatas y una poderosa viga con escudos familiares. La portada enmarcada de piedra, de finales del siglo XVI, presenta un escudo con las armas de Molina, Dávila y Fajardo. Otras edificaciones mantienen algún tipo de interés, como dos casas con dinteles de piedra o la casa de los Rosales, con fachada de fines del siglo XVII.
The medieval square underwent a significant transformation throughout the 16th century, coinciding with the arrival in Almagro of the Fúcars - the Spanish version of the Flemish surname Fugger -, bankers subject to the Emperor Charles V, to whom the Almadén mercury mines had been leased as a privilege for the financial support of the family bank during the wars in Europe. New buildings were built in the square and it is to them that the glass galleries, with northern reminders, which ennoble and give a unique appearance to the two largest sides of this Plaza Mayor de Almagro, the name by which it has traditionally been known, began to be restored, such as the Constitution, the Republic, the Royal or Spain, after the last Civil War. In the 1960s, its restoration began and was completed in 1967, as shown on a plaque placed on the Town Hall building. The work, directed by the architect Francisco Pons-Sorolla, restored the nobility and splendour of the 16th century to the unique complex.
With an irregular rectangular floor plan, one of its larger sides opens onto the part corresponding to the Maestral Palace, and according to old plans it is 125 yards long by 44 wide, that is, approximately 104.5 by 37 metres.
The greatest uniqueness of this square is centred on its larger sides, where a harmonious group of houses is built, arranged on arcades on two levels, supported by eighty-five Tuscan stone columns, on which rest the thick wooden foundations and beams painted in red ochre. These buildings made of modest materials have their greatest originality in the double-storey glass gallery, which provides a characteristic flavour and notable originality to the complex, as it is a unique case of Castilian architecture. These galleries were initially open, were public and were used to watch the shows that took place in the square. Later, they were closed. Their small balconies, like the turned bars, must have been painted red ochre, but later, on the occasion of the proclamation of King Charles IV in 1788, they were painted turquoise green. Above the galleries, simple corbels support the eaves, and on the roof, covered with Arabic tiles, there are whitewashed dormers, white chimneys and some iron weather vanes.
On the north side of the square, to the right of the Town Hall, is the Villar alley, where you can see the structure of the construction of the houses, as well as other elements, such as a column with a carved capital depicting a jar with lilies. On the south side is the old Toril street, today called Captain Parras, in memory of a son of this town who died in 1924, during the African War. On this street is the house of Diego de Molina el Viejo. The arcade and the glass galleries are truncated by two large granite columns that support footings and a powerful beam with family shields. The stone-framed doorway, from the end of the 16th century, features a shield with the arms of Molina, Dávila and Fajardo. Other buildings maintain some kind of interest, such as two houses with stone lintels or the Rosales house, with a façade from the end of the 17th century.

Back in the day, I had the privilege of running sound for Big and his band a few times. Huge man, great voice, a consummate professional and all-around Nice Guy. Shortly after his passing I pointed out to another well-known bluesman that "Big Miller sat on that stool last;" his eyes got round, he took a knee and touched the chair.

because he's in the chair next to me and we're a team.. Maybe too many pictures of him, but he's a friend who will soon be 11 years old and who I've had the privilege of knowing for almost 5 years. Photo by Frank.

I have the privilege of having a companion that doesn't mind going with me on what I call "Photo Walks" of my community. As a shutterbug when I am on foot walking about, their is so much more to see and discover than when you are traveling the same path in a car. I wonder if the owners of this lovely flower know how beautiful their garden is {Random Thoughts 8.9.10}
