Walking through some woodland today, and saw this tree. Immediately, it made me think of my older sister and her eyebrow tweezers lol. No stray eyebrow hair allowed.
Remember that....seems such a long time ago now. Basking in glorious sun and glorious and sumptuous satin.
If you have a problem, don't say it to "Anyone" because 20% of people don't care about it and the other 80% are glad you have it!!!

I wanted to show the misery of the medieval times this time and so I did a salesman that struggles to survive... and eventually will fail...
You see the few wares he has and the desperation in his eyes.
I think the biggest problem TVC had was how impossible certain figures were to find. This guy for example, shipped out for maybe a month or two at best.
although I think this bullshit isn't OK at all!
It's very very hard to add your photos to my favs at the moment. It sucks!
While Nazareth is a big, modern, growing city of shopping malls and dual carriageways, its Old City is still a place of old-fashioned Middle Eastern charm. This warren of laneways, many too narrow for cars, climbing up a steep hillside is a wonderful place to get lost in. Some parts are very touristy, especially around the historic churches and the extensive souk; but much more of this roughly 4 km² area consists of ordinary residential streets that few tourists venture into. The street names are all four digit numbers, and GPS can be a little shaky in these narrow lanes, which makes it very easy to get lost. Luckily you’ll never be too far from someone to give you directions.
This shot was taken in an area where I saw no other tourists.
Nazareth is the cultural and economic heartland of the Arab community in Galilee and to some extent in the whole of Israel. It is perfectly safe to visit and the people are extremely friendly: the only real problem is that it can be a little pricey.

Wikipedia: The World Sleep Day is an annual event organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) since 2008.[1] It is aimed to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep and to draw society attention to the burden of sleep problems and their medicine, education and social aspects; to promote sleep disorders prevention and management. Through the World Sleep Day the WASM tries to raise awareness of sleep disorders and their better understanding and preventability, and to reduce the burden of sleep problems on society that constitute a global epidemic and threaten health and quality of life for as much as 45% of the world's population. The World Sleep Day is held annually on the third Friday of March with the exception of the first World Sleep Day that was held on 14 March 2008. Events involving discussions, presentations of educational materials and exhibitions take place around the world and online.
2008 14 March 'Sleep well, live fully awake'
2009 20 March 'Drive alert, arrive safe'
2010 19 March 'Sleep Well, Stay Healthy'
2011 18 March 'Sleep Well, Grow Healthy'
2012 16 March 'Breathe Easily, Sleep Well'
2013 15 March 'Good Sleep, Healthy Aging'
Wikipedia: Palazzo Davanzati is a palace which houses the Museum of the Old Florentine House. Palazzo Davanzati was erected in the second half of the 14th century by the Davizzi family, who were wealthy members of the wool guild. In 1516 it was sold to the Bartolini and, later that century, to the Davanzati family, also rich merchants (1578), who held it until 1838. After the suicide of Carlo Davanzati, it was split into different quarters and modified. After escaping the numerous demolitions of 19th century Florence, it was bought by Elia Volpi, an antiquarian, who restored It in (his impression of) the original style. In 1910, Volpi opened the building as a private museum (Museo Privato della Casa Fiorentina Antica). The contents of this museum kept changing as Volpi sold the furniture at auctions, including a major one in 1916 in New York. In the 1920s, Egyptian antique dealers Vitale and Leopoldo Bengujat acquired the building and its contents. In 1951 it was purchased by the Italian state and kept open as a museum. By 1995 the museum needed to be closed for major restoration to keep the building from falling down. The museum was partially reopened in 2005 with the ground and first floors; by 2012 all the floors were open to visitors.
I wanted to state that this is not my house; although I wish it were. When we were kicking around the idea to move to Massachusetts, we flew out during Thanksgiving week to make sure we wanted Massachusetts to become our new home. I had been drooling over this house on a real estate website so we decided to drive out and take a look during an open house. First of all, the house is PINK! I loved the idea of living in a pink house. This house felt so right to me; the owner was selling because his girlfriend (I don't think they were married) had passed away and I believe he wanted to get away and start over. She was an artist and the walls were covered with her art. I will confess, I teared up when I walked inside. It was built in the late 1800's and had charm oozing out of its walls. We weren't in the position to buy at that time (we still had a house in Seattle to sell), but I'll never forget this house. So glad I took photos that day.

Business gets complicated !!!
There are times when the most effective thing is to simplify things and that is what this seller does.
NPK251R seen here posed at Gledhow turning circle in Leeds. This was after Geldards had stopped operating commercial stage carriage services and were concentrating on schoolwork. I only drove this bus a couple of times when i was doing some part time work for them, it was a lively little thing, if somewhat tired.
I've been absent due to problems in my life but hopefully I can get back into building cars. I've chosen this car to recreate because it was one of many cars I wanted to make and to get into the fun of building.
Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness.
So use things, but don’t be used by them. Live life but don’t be lived by it. Possess things, but don’t be possessed by them. Have things — that’s not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.

Ai primi di maggio ho avuto l' idea di creare dei fiori finti con dei cucchiaini di plastica per attirare-distrarre gli insetti come i coleotteri Oxythyrea funesta che si mangiano le parti molli dei fiori e compromettono quindi lo sviluppo dei frutti. Non è che siano un vero problema, in effetti, non ce ne sono così tanti, ma visto che sono attirati dal colore bianco dei petali, ho voluto provare. Al centro di ogni fiore ho messo un impasto di miele e pezzetti di fiori sfioriti del cotogno e del melo, più uno fresco di composita, e devo dire che sono stati abbastanza efficaci. Dopo che li ho posizionati fra le foglie e i fiori degli alberi di cotogno, sono arrivati alcuni coleotteri di Oxythyrea (nelle ore più assolate fra le 12 e le 14 circa), ma soprattutto c' è stato l' assalto delle formiche (a loro però, non importava il sole). Nei giorni successivi, quando ormai i fiori veri erano tutti sfioriti, ho provato di nuovo, ma più che altro è arrivata qualche ape. Comunque, devo dire che il metodo un po' funziona, gli insetti hanno gradito molto. :-))
In early May I had the idea of creating fake flowers with plastic spoons to attract-distract insects such as the fungal Oxythyrea beetles that eat the soft parts of the flowers and thus compromise the development of fruits. It is not that they are a real problem, in fact, there are not so many, but since they are attracted by the white color of the petals, I wanted to try. At the center of each flower I put a mixture of honey and small pieces of flowers of quince and apple, plus a fresh of composite, and I must say that they were quite effective. After I placed them between the leaves and the flowers of the quince trees, there are some beetles of Oxythyrea (in the most sunny hours between 12 and 14), but above all there was the assault of ants (but they did not care about the sun). In the following days, when now the real flowers were all touched, I tried again, but more than anything else came some bee. However, I have to say that the method somewhat works, the insects liked it very much. :-))
Sucre's obitsu broke again ... So I played with her head and some ribbons again :D She looks like an easter egg haha

The Western wall is a remnant of Herod's grand temple, and is the most holiest site for Jews. It attracts thousands of Jewish worshippers daily, who come to pray and lay out their problems and seek for heavenly guidance. They feel the presence of God's spirit, who according to their belief resides for thousands of years in the holy temple.
The problem was where to put the ice cream.
you can't just toss it into a trash can, it's a hot day, it'll melt, melting was the problem in the first place and now you've got melted ice cream in a trash can you're taking out your trash and there it is, you're not gonna clean it how the fuck do you even clean a trash can out's gotta come the hose and you gotta let it drain and fuck whoever left ice cream to melt in my trash can.
So we didn't want to do that, but do you put it on the grass or on the ground, it's biodegradable, sure, but it's a mess until all the earth's animals come out to take it away in teeny tiny bits and before all that you've got a mess.
And what if someone sees you just dumping ice cream on the ground?
So maybe the gutter, that was my idea, the gutter, just put it in the gutter, it'll wash away, we'll be fine, I'll whistle like we never did nothing and no worries it'll be like we never even had ice cream. What ice cream? What's ice cream? We're just two photographers out for a stroll, I don't know shit about no ice cream.
We have our laughs, Laura and I.
When Aron and Widogast (the monster hunter) met in the Golden Crown Inn in Rindael, Widogast made a deal with Aron (who is known to only go after dragons) to hunt a cockatrice, which is best described as a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent-like creature with a rooster's head, so at least part of it was a dragon.
"Drinks on me when you bring me a cockatrice head." said Widogast.
"Only drinks?" asked Aron.
"Well, you may keep the bounty too." replied Widogast "or are you afraid of it?"
Aron: "No way, I'll get you that cockatrice head, I am not affraid of some chicken."
"Okay, deal, may luck be on your side then." said Widogast jokingly.
"Ha, where I'm going I don't need any luck." replied Aron.
A cockatrice was recently spotted on the border of Faldia and the Daelen near the Whispering Woods.
Aron's preparation included polishing his armor, and putting a special mirror coating on his shield. But when he finally reached the place where the creature was spotted, he couldn't believe his eyes, no report made mentions of the size of the beast. Trampling the fence near the path, the beast almost was the same height of a nearby tree.
"That dammed Widogast, he knew the size of that beast, I'm sure of it..." thought Aron. "Well, here I go..."

I've not taken a shot like this for a while. It used to be a common site on my original flickr account so it was nice to take this kind of shot again. Might have to do some more.

I have no problem with good, constructive criticism and critique as it's a good way to learn and improve so please don't be scared to tell me if you don't like my photo, or you have ways of improving it!
A place that has changed dramatically since I took this photo.
Hammering through non stop is the down Cornish Riviera Ltd. Both loco, Mk 2 coaches and named trains have left the scene. I think that the Ltd description was probably superfluous as it referred to limited load and by this date services were 10 coaches or so and a loco. Slip coaches and dividing a train were things of the past down here. Preston and Carstairs had the dividing and joining of trains for a long while.
At Preston I witnessed the spectacle of a train diverted over the Settle and Carlisle get split in the wrong place because it was the wrong was round with not having come the direct route into Preston from the North, but actually via the South. The shunter was directed to split it as usual and just counted the coaches.
Oh dear!
The easy way was to reconnect and split in the right place so that the portion that lacked a guards compartment got one.
Well, the next step was to have three portions.
Oh dear again.
I won't mention any names - bit it wasn't me - overheard a couple going to Manchester get directed to the Liverpool portion. As they had to walk pas us Mr Anonymous told them where we were going and explained that they were going to the wrong portion and why.
Needless to say this caused a riot because Mr Anonymous was identified as the provider of information and seemed to know what he was talking about. We heard that too.
To say it didn't go down well was an understatement. Just as the direction as to how to sort the problem out. This was when the train ended up in three sections.
We didn't make it worse by having hysterics although how we kept straight faces I have no idea.
Eventually it was all sorted out and horribly late we all went home.
Back to this photo, in the background broad gauge Tiny is visible.

Probleme bei der Hilfe…
Afrika sei ein faszinierender Kontinent, sagte Renate, die Entwicklungshelferin und erklärte den beiden ihr im Zugabteil gegenübersitzenden Frauen, in welchem Bereichen der Wassergewinnung sie tätig sei und wo die Schwierigkeiten lägen, die es in dem Dorf gebe, wo derzeit die Bewässerungsanlagen aufgebaut würden.
„Man hat es mit merkwürdigen Hierarchien zu tun“, sagte sie. „Der Dorfvorsteher weigert sich gerade, den Weisungen aus der Hauptstadt zu folgen. Vielleicht geht das auch wieder gegen mich, als Frau. Jedenfalls will er keine Wassergebühr. Die soll erhoben werden, damit die Bewässerungsgräben und Rohrleitungen von angestelltem Personal regelmäßig instand gehalten werden können. Sonst verwuchert und verschlammt alles im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Der Betrag ist gering im Vergleich zu den Kosten, die Wasserverkäufer erheben, wenn sie in den Trockenzeiten Wasser per LKW ankarren.“
Karin, eine der Zuhörerinnen der kurzweiligen Geschichten, stellte ein paar spezifische Fragen zu den Umständen in Schwarzafrika und drängte das Gespräch dann in eine psychologische Richtung indem sie zum Beispiel fragte: „Wie werden Sie mit den Belästigungen und Beleidigungen der Männer fertig?“
„Wir werden durch Schulungen mit der Mentalität der Menschen in Zentralafrika vertraut gemacht. Wir finden dort ein hohes Maß an unkontrollierten Emotionen vor und dem kann man, bei allem Verständnis, nur mit Disziplin und Hierarchie begegnen.
Lokale Politiker und einige aus der Stadt führen uns bei den Dorfgemeinschaften ein. Wir erhalten Respekt und die Afrikaner wissen schon untereinander, dass mit ihnen nicht zimperlich umgegangen wird, wenn man sich an Projekthelfern vergreift. Das läuft da zum Teil noch sehr archaisch und man darf keine Schwächen zeigen.“
„Sie sind eine sehr selbstbewusste Frau“, antwortete Karin. „Ich wünschte mir, ich hätte ein wenig mehr von Ihrer Kraft.“
„Ich saß schon immer voller Tatendrang“, sagte Renate. „Selbstbewusst bin ich nicht, aber energisch, wenn es sein muss. Meine Selbstzweifel und Skrupel darf ich nicht zeigen. Jede gezeigte Verunsicherung springt auf die Umgebung über und dann läuft alles schief.“
Auf die Frage hin, ob sie ein konkretes Beispiel nennen könne, überlegte Karin einen Augenblick und sprach über die negativen Aspekte der geleisteten Hilfe und die Einmischung in bestehende Gemeinschaften.
„Durch dieses Projekt entziehen wir dem Fluss Wasser für ein weit zurück liegendes Hinterland. Die Weideflächen werden vergrößert und entsprechend der Viehbestand. Der Wohlstand nimmt zu und die Kinderzahl wächst. Doch alle acht bis zehn Jahre im Schnitt kommt eine natürliche Dürre und der Fluss führt kaum noch Wasser. Da können auch die Wind- und Solarpumpen nichts mehr auf die Weiden bringen. Ich vermute manchmal, dass wir da eine Sache basteln, die noch zu viel Unglück führen kann. Vor etwa neun Jahren verdursteten während einer solchen Dürre etwa die Hälfte der Tiere.
Alles rief nach Bewässerungsanlagen, um eine solche Katastrophe in der Zukunft zu vermeiden.
Das könnte auch klappen, wenn der Viehbestand ungefähr gleich bliebe. Etwa fünftausend Köpfe kann die Anlage auch bei Niedrigwasser versorgen. Doch ich wette, dass der Bestand schon in drei bis vier Jahren bei zehntausend liegen wird.“
Alle schwiegen für ein paar Sekunden, dann erzählte Renate einen Traum:
„Ich sah einen vertrockneten Baum am trockenen Flussbett, ein Vogel lag auf dem Boden, und im Hintergrund stand ein roter Hydrant. Ein Mann kam, um die Sache zu untersuchen. Doch dunkle Regenwolken zogen bereits auf und die Dürrezeit würde schon bald vorbei sein. Lass der Natur ihren Lauf, dachte ich, während ich aufwachte. Es gibt immer göttliche Lösungen für menschliche Probleme.“
Sie stecke also in einem Dilemma, erklärte sie weiter, und das zehre etwas an ihrem Tatendrang.
Da sagte Karin: „Ich habe auch große Schwierigkeiten, mich für oder gegen bestimmte Dinge zu entscheiden. Es ist nicht leicht, beide Seiten zu sehen und trotzdem in der Handlung zu bleiben.“
Renate nickte. „Ich teile meine Ansichten auf. Sobald 51% für eine Sache spricht, handele ich. Am liebsten ist mir natürlich eine ungebremste Begeisterung. Aber vielleicht schieße ich dann zu oft über das Ziel hinaus.“
