As we walked out into King Gillette it followed closely behind (no fear of humans it seemed). I can understand the temptation people had to feed this little one, but it may well have done serious harm. I tried to correct the problem - - - - -

Despite the problems with the computer,
Have a lot of pictures taken lately.
I have a big backlog with figuring out,
edit, selecting and place!
Go place older and newer photos on Flickr.
Ondanks de problemen met de computer,
heb ik toch veel foto's gemaakt.
heb dus een flinke achterstand met uitzoeken,
bewerken en posten!
Ga wat oudere en nieuwe foto's door elkaar plaatsen op Flickr.
Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!

The platform is empty here despite it being a busy station and busy time at 6.45pm. The reason is that at Bank Station the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) is a terminus. This platform is for incoming trains and there is another platform for outgoing trains. Everybody has got off the train which has come in and left the platform as the train leaves. There were no problems from the Station Assistant though zooming in a full resolution he definitely had his eyes on me. This shot was taken a couple of London trips ago on 9 March
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 13mm.. Single image processed first in RAW. Noise was reduced using Topaz DeNoise and more detail with Topaz Clarity. More Pop with Topaz Adjust. Brighness/contrast adjustment layer with a layer mask to bring down brightness in the roof lights only. Used the crop tool for better composition but also to straighten by bring the mouse to a corner and dragging to crop at an angle. Clone tool used to remove part of a seat in the bottom left corner.

“Sorry Not Sorry” is OUT TODAY
See the lyric video HERE
We all go through tough times that require difficult decisions. But sometimes we don’t need to apologize for it to anyone. Learning from mistakes and becoming the best version of ourselves is an ongoing challenge.
"Sorry Not Sorry" is about that paradox. I wrote this song during a desperate time when I was trying to work through a complicated situation. I felt bad for hurting someone I love, but I needed to work through that experience on my own. In the end, I realized I could better heal by addressing the problem head on.

UNITED AIRLINES out 9/9 on Sugar Records 🎸
The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.

Konduktor is the person who attends to public jeepney passengers to see to it that they are properly seated, and collects their fare. Konduktors usually hang at the tail end of the jeepney.
The boy in this photo is obviously underage for this kind of work.
Presidential Decree No. 603 or the Child and Youth Welfare Code states that children below 16 years of age are allowed to work only if they perform light work, which is not harmful to their safety, health or normal development and which is not prejudicial to their studies.
Child labor is one of the major problems in the Philippines. This is very rampant.
We have the law, but we failed to implement it.

"Pombagira, Bombogira, Exú Mulher ou ainda Bomobonjira, são todas formas de a denominar. Em especial, é mais utilizada a denominação Pombagira que nos chega pela influência Banta (Angola). A Entidade Banta Aluvaiá-Pombagira que foi trazida de África durante o fluxo de escravos para o Brasil e então submetida à entidade Iorubana Exú, durante todo o processo de miscigenação que se desenvolveu no Brasil, sendo colocada e entendida como a sua vertente feminina.
O facto de esta ser uma entidade que é entendida e cultuada de diferentes formas por diversas nações do Candomblé, pela Umbanda e pela Kimbanda, prova desde logo que se tratou de um processo de adaptação não consensual que ainda hoje perdura.
No Candomblé mais tradicional, como o Ketu, estas entidades não são cultuadas. No Candomblé tradicional, cultua-se exclusivamente o Orixá Exú que é uma entidade masculina, cuja simbologia é unicamente fálica, e portanto nada tem de feminino. No entanto, as Pombagiras existem de facto, não são Orixás, mas assim mesmo, são cultuadas também no Candomblé, embora nas nações menos tradicionais.
Como membro do Candomblé Ketu, o conceito que formei sobre quem são as Pombagiras é simples: são seres do mundo astral, guerreiras tanto quanto Exú, que estão bem próximas da nossa esfera humana, algumas já reencarnaram e outras não. Convivi de perto com Maria Padilha. Tive oportunidade durante os anos de vê-la, assim como às outras que pertenciam a várias médiuns do terreiro, realizarem inúmeros trabalhos: ajudar a vencer obstáculos, a ser feliz no amor, vencer problemas de saúde de desarmonia conjugal, e muitas outros problemas que as pessoas tinham e sobre os quais lhe pediam auxílio.
Pombagira subdivide-se numa enorme legião onde cada qual tem o seu nome próprio, conforme a sua área de actividade. Temos a linha das que pertencem às encruzilhadas como Pomba Gira Rainha das 7 Encruzilhadas; a linha do cemitério liderada pela Pombagira da Calunga; a linha das ciganas, lideradas pela Pombagira Cigana; e a linha ligada aos locais ermos, liderada pela Pombagira, Maria Mulambo. Com relação às suas manifestações nos médiuns, normalmente como mulheres, as suas legiões podem adoptar nomes como Pombagira Rosa, mas pertencendo a esta ou àquela linha, liderada pela chefe correspondente.
Uma coisa é muito certa, todo e qualquer problema que colocamos nas mãos de qualquer uma delas tem solução. A sua força é guerreira, a sua vibração magnética é carregada de sensualidade e alegria, tanto que a sua chegada aos médiuns é sempre alegre, solta e sensual.
Exú tem ligação com a força sexual criativa, e a Pombagira por sua vez com a circulação dessa energia criativa existente na vida e no Universo. Lamentavelmente a sua reputação tornou-se péssima devido a erros de incorporação dos próprios médiuns, que por deturpações pessoais as transformaram em seres com fama de depravadas, libidinosas e cruéis.
O importante ao invocá-las é lembrar sempre que, são entidades complexas de personalidade forte, e que nunca perdoam uma falta de palavra dada. O importante também é não invocá-las para trazer prejuízo a outrem, porque elas o farão com certeza, mas a dívida kármica adquirida ficará por conta de quem pediu.
Quanto ao seu aspecto sensual, faz parte de sua polaridade, não querendo significar com isso depravação ou perversão. Até hoje não conheci nenhuma mulher que tenha deixado de ser honesta por culpa de qualquer uma delas."
Over the last 24 hours I have received no notifications of any new photographs you may have added to your photo steams. Hopefully it will soon be sorted and I will be able to catch up with you all.

One more doodle before I went to bed. I always have problems drawing hair, can't stop adding lines to it. I'm trying to remember; simple, clean lines are better. I'm pretty pleased with this drawing tonight, maybe I'll get where I need to be before the 365 days are up???

La source d'inspiration la plus importante pour les sculptures de Dirk De Keyzer n'est rien de moins que la vie elle-même. Le monde est transformé en un monde parallèle alternatif dans lequel les problèmes majeurs et quotidiens sont compensés. Sans tomber dans la naïveté enfantine, la positivité et la pensée transfrontalière se voient accorder une place très importante. Cela ressort d'autant plus du fait que les personnages ne semblent appartenir à aucune culture, ni même à toutes les cultures. Par extension, on pourrait dire qu'il s'agit d'une interprétation tout à fait singulière du concept « d'homme universel », élevé au-dessus des caractéristiques extérieures, des différences culturelles et des tendances temporelles afin de mettre l'accent sur l'individu et la diversité.
L'humour est un autre aspect important de l'art de Dirk de Keyzer. Il croit fermement que l'humour, par opposition à la négativité, peut être le fer de lance de la critique sociale. Humour désarmant plutôt que bavardage pour stimuler la perspective et la tolérance. En ces temps chargés, le travail de Dirk De Keyzer nous appelle à réfléchir sur l'insoutenable légèreté de notre existence. Un moment d'introspection pour appeler à une petite évasion de la réalité quotidienne.
Les sculptures sont un instantané du monde alternatif de Dirk et invitent le spectateur amusé à pénétrer dans l'univers personnel du sculpteur. De cette façon, le spectateur vit la même expérience en regardant que l'artiste en créant. Dirk voit le processus créatif comme une sorte de thérapie qui l'aide à voir le monde sous un angle différent et essaie de le projeter sur le spectateur. Malgré son propre langage de forme unique, des données universelles telles que la poursuite humaine du bonheur, de la beauté et de l'harmonie se voient attribuer un rôle de premier plan. De cette manière, l'artiste tente d'entrer en dialogue avec son public, dans lequel, tout comme dans la vie elle-même, l'accent n'est pas toujours mis sur des objectifs préconçus, mais plutôt sur le chemin pour y parvenir.
The most important source of inspiration for Dirk De Keyzer's sculptures is nothing less than life itself. The world is transformed into an alternate parallel world in which major and everyday problems are compensated. Without falling into childish naivety, positivity and cross-border thinking are given a very important place. This is all the more apparent from the fact that the characters do not seem to belong to any culture, or even to all cultures. By extension, one could say that it is a quite singular interpretation of the concept of "universal man", elevated above external characteristics, cultural differences and temporal tendencies in order to emphasize on the individual and diversity.
Humor is another important aspect of Dirk de Keyzer's art. He strongly believes that humor, as opposed to negativity, can spearhead social criticism. Disarming humor rather than chatter to stimulate perspective and tolerance. In these busy times, the work of Dirk De Keyzer calls us to reflect on the unbearable lightness of our existence. A moment of introspection to call for a small escape from everyday reality.
The sculptures are a snapshot of Dirk's alternate world and invite the amused viewer to enter the sculptor's personal universe. In this way, the spectator has the same experience while watching as the artist while creating. Dirk sees the creative process as a kind of therapy that helps him see the world from a different perspective and tries to project it onto the viewer. Despite its own unique form language, universal data such as the human pursuit of happiness, beauty and harmony are given a prominent role. In this way, the artist attempts to enter into a dialogue with his audience, in which, just as in life itself, the focus is not always on preconceived goals, but rather on the path to achieve them. to arrive at.

C'era qualcosa lassù che col passare del tempo divenne per me sempre più importante: il silenzio. E' un'esperienza a cui non siamo pià abituati. Lassù faceva da sottofondo a tutte le esperienze.
(...)
Meraviglioso, il silenzio! Eppure noi moderni, forse perchè lo identifichiamo con la morte, lo evitiamo, ne abbiamo quasi paura. Abbiamo perso l'abitudine a stare zitti, a stare soli. Se abbiamo un problema, se ci sentiamo prendere dallo sgomento, preferiamo correre a frastornarci con qualche rumore, a mischiarci a una folla anzichè mettereci da una parte, in silenzio, a riflettere. Uno sbaglio, perchè il silenzio è l'esperienza originaria dell'uomo. Senza silenzio non c'è parola. Non c'è musica. Senza silenzio non si sente. Solo nel silenzio è possibile tornare in sintonia con noi stessi, ritrovare il legame fra il nostro corpo e tutto-quel-che-ci-sta-dietro.

Polaris is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Minor and is commonly called the North Star or Pole Star.
With an apparent magnitude of around 2, it is the brightest star in the constellation and is readily visible to the naked eye at night.
The position of the star lies less than 1° away from the north celestial pole, making it the current northern pole star.
The stable position of the star in the Northern Sky makes it useful for astrophotographer in the Northern hemisphere to align our telescopes with the central axis of the Earth. [Wiki]
Imaged over 11 nights in June and July 2024 while waiting for my main target to reach altitude.
I have always wanted to capture the IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula) around our pole star in the Northern hemisphere.
I thought that while I am waiting for my main target to rise in altitude, just sitting on Polaris would be a cool idea.
The main problem is guiding your telescope at the pole. In the end none of the frames were guided, Plate solving was interesting too. I attempted to centre the star but the mount would never end up plate solved and locked on. The solution was to place Polaris off centre. The result was that I obtained a better view of the IFN surrounding the star.
735 x 2 minute images were originally taken without a filter and reduced down to the best 349. This left me with over 11 hours of the best frames to process.
I am very pleased with my first attempt. I must look at either making a mosaic or using a wider FOV telescope to feature more of the surrounding space dust.
