This is purely an opportunist shot because I was picking up my camera to change lenses before going out to do some shopping when out of the corner of my eye , I noticed this, then turned around quickly and got it before it flew off up to the nest box .Taken through my double glazed patio window in amongst the heavy rain showers,
Contrary to the tradition, this cloister was not built at the center of the monastery, and thus does not link with all the other buildings. Its function was purely spiritual: to bring the monks to meditate.
Three arches of the cloister are opened to the sea or to the outside. Those openings were the entryway to the chapter house that was never built. The columns, arranged in quincunx, were originally made of limestone from England but were later restored using puddingstone from Lucerne.
The cloister has in the middle a medieval garden recreated in 1966 by brother Bruno de Senneville, a Benedictine monk. The center is made of box tree surrounded by 13 Damascus roses. The squares of medicinal plants, aromatic herbs and flowers symbolize the daily needs of middle-age monks. In the middle of the box trees were monsters to remind that in the middle of any marvel evil could still be there.
The "Belle Chaise" room and the Southwest buildings
The "Belle Chaise" building and the lodging wing hosted the administrative section of the abbey. Abbot Richard Turstin built, on the East side, the Guards room (that became the abbey entrance) and a new officiality, where judicial decisions were made (1257).
Around 1393, the two Châtelet towers were built, then the Perrine tower and a "Bailliverie". Later, under abbot Pierre Le Roy, a lodging wing was added, adding at the same time to the abbey fortifications.
It's within us all
for we have the wherewithal
as lakeside guests
molified strains and bequests
now within view, unabated
phenotypes hereby related
observe, simply and purely
Summer still lingers demurely
reflections, like touching of hands
displays all that nature understands
now, in respite, and unison of minds
a vade-mecum of all kinds
refresh and reinvigorate your true being
with nature supporting all you are foreseeing.

This one was purely chance and with no time to plan and set up the shot. Having just left the overnight sleeper service from Urumchi at Hami and being driven in a minibus towards the opencast coal mine at Sandaoling. The first sighting from the minibus was JS 8366 heading back to the mine from the exchange sidings and we slowly overtook it on the parallel road. Looking back it was clear that a shot was demanded and just before the road and rail parted ways there was just time to stop and dash out to shoot a couple of frames before it was gone. Thirty seconds later and we would have missed it.
Regensburg is a city with more than 2,500 years of history. The Celts arrived somewhere around 500 B.C.; four centuries later, around 90 B.C., the Romans established a military camp nearby. By 179 A.D., in the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, there was a permanent fortress named Castra Regina within the boundaries of what is now Regenburg's Altstadt. In the 6th Century A.D., the first Duke of Agilofinger established his royal seat in "Reganespurc," which became the first capital of Bavaria.
St. Boniface founded a bishopric in Regensburg in 739, and Charlemagne ousted the Agilofinger dynasty in 788. The city continued to grow, albeit slowly, until the Steinerne Brücke was built between 1135 and 1146. This unprecedented stone bridge across the Danube opened major international trade routes between Northern Europe and Venice, and much of Regensburg as it exists today was built by wealthy merchant families over the next few centuries. These traders had no compunctions about flaunting their wealth; some of their houses had purely decorative towers that made them the McMansions of the Middle Ages.
The Free Imperial City of Regensburg existed for 600 years. But as trade routes changed, the city's fortunes declined and many of the patrician families left for better opportunities elsewhere.
Regensburg got a second wind in 1663, when a permanent Reichstag or Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire was established within its walls. The old merchants' houses were taken over by bureaucrats and emissaries, and Regensburg was the seat of Germany's first parliament for 150 years.
The empire was dissolved in 1806; three years later, the city was conquered by Napoleon's troops and turned over to Bavaria. Although many events have taken place since, Regensburg's Altstadt looks much as it did during its heyday as a Free Imperial City, with some 1,400 registered and carefully preserved medieval buildings that coexist with structures from the Roman Era.

Capturing the person's hair spinning in the air, as she spun around, was purely luck.
This beautiful sunset went down in a blaze of glory.
The clouds lit up in brilliant tones of orange and yellow, as the sun slipped below the horizon.
The dock lights had just come on, providing for a warm glow to set off this inviting nautical scene.

A dipytch of two bokeh frenzy of a christmas tree light-up. Gorgeous, much? I'ts kinda bland with not much of a subject but oh well i've always wanted a purely bokehlicious shot.Perhaps a little too late for the festive occassion? heh
I hate myself for this but I added a 200 px border. I'm going back to my early years when I had chunky black/white borders to my photos. Shoot me please.
Ok, maybe not. I shall start having delicate images alike and create a new set, Pandora. How bout that?:)

Vicars' Close, in Wells, Somerset, England, is claimed to be the oldest purely residential street with its original buildings all surviving intact in Europe. John Julius Norwich calls it "that rarest of survivals, a planned street of the mid-14th century". It comprises numerous Grade 1 listed buildings, comprising 27 residences (originally 44), built for Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury, a chapel and library at the north end, and a hall at the south end, over an arched gate. It is connected at its southern end to the cathedral by way of a walkway over Chain Gate.

Spending the night alone in some remote place in the high mountains allows to experience a double sense of remoteness: the purely physical and the temporal...
The physical one is at least obvious, as after hours and hours of hiking we inevitably move away from our places of comfort. The temporal one is perceptible from the moment in which, when evening falls, it seems to have also traveled through time and thus to have found oneself in a dimension prior to our appearance on Earth.
Deafened by the continuous “fireworks” of the plain, which seems to reward the emptiness of “self-centeredness at all costs”, being able to experience such particular and essential moments reminds us how illusory human ambitions are, on a planet, moreover, which could quietly do without us.

This is the Lancaster Canal in Carnforth, North Lancashire. Dating from the 1790s, it was orginally intended to help take coal to Lancaster from the Yorkshire coalfields. But it was never completed and the railways eventually took over that task. Now, it runs from Tewitfield, a few miles north of Carnforth, down to Preston. It is used purely for leisure purposes, and at this time of year most boats are in their marinas or tied up at their moorings. The towpath remains a pleasant place to walk the dog.
Moloch horridus
Despite the connotations of its scientific name - these guys are purely awesome, and completely harmless to humans to boot.
Since first seeing illustrations of this species as a child, seeing them in the wild has been on my bucket list and last weekend my brother and I were lucky enough to see two on a short trip into the red centre of Australia. Seeing them in the flesh did not disappoint!
Thorny devils inhabit arid sandy areas in the interior of Australia where they feed upon ants - sometimes thousands at a time. They are able to channel water through their skin from any part of their body into their mouth to drink. Their markings are like a fingerprint - they are all slightly different. Whats not to love!? More shots of these guys to follow..
My first sortie since lockdown for purely photographic reasons and with a forecast for 40 mph Northwesterly winds, what better place to go than an exposed beach?
But, being the altruist, I thought it selfish to enjoy this experience alone, so I dragged Graham Morris out for the ride too.
Truth be known, I actually did him a favour, I know for a fact** that he regularly spends £60 on exfoliating facial peels, so with sand being blasted on our delicately ageing skin, I reckon he got a bargain, not to mention the fact that his car has now been transformed from a gleaming shiny black model to the en-vogue matte wrapped version, so that's another couple of grand saved at least!
We took shelter in the groynes, so to speak 😳, whilst the real hardened togs wrestled with their tripods in the sandstorm. As the legendary Sid Waddell would say, it was like 'trying to pin a kangaroo down on a trampoline'.
Here's my favourite band of the moment again. Don't you think the start sounds like Jimmy Sommerville morphing into Dave Gahan?
....and it's got a waterfall, oh and some ballerinas.

I can't wait to get back here with the knowledge I have now...
I put this on Flickr purely because it is the most significant bird photo I've taken. Totally rubbish quality, however....and it's a big however, unbelievably this little bullet is a life time first.
Hopefully, now I've got my feeble eye in, I will only get better. Let's face it, it can't get much worse, but I am totally ecstatic over this shot!!! Surely that deserves a few Favs!!!???
Sonic XD is purely a fan-made animation video made from me. Which is all based on our favourite blue blur; Sonic the Hedgehog! Hopefully *fingers crossed* it will be a series!
“XD” stands for “Xtra Dimension”. Since every that happens in the series is… well, like a parallel world to the original Sonic the Hedgehog. However, it’s still funny! Plus if you tip the logo a little bit, you get “XD” showing a smiley face. Which is why I specifically named this series; “Sonic XD” although the full name for this is; “Sonic the Hedgehog: Xtra Dimension”.

- The Border terrier originated in the border country between England and Scotland, and may be one of the oldest kinds of terriers in Great Britain. Purely a working terrier, the Border was bred to protect the stock of their owners. They had sufficient length of leg to follow a horse, but were small enough to follow a fox to ground. Borders on the farm in the 18th century also had to find their own food, so they had to be good hunters to survive.
- Alert, active and agile, the Border Terrier is willing to squeeze through narrow holes and sprint across any terrain to capture his quarry: the fox. This persistence made him an excellent working terrier back in England, and allows him to succeed in Earthdog, Obedience and Agilty trials today. Known for his "otter" head and game attitude, the Border is medium-sized with a wiry coat that may be red, grizzle and tan, blue and tan, or wheaten with a dark muzzle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
De Border Terrier is het perfecte gezelschap voor de hondenliefhebber. Deze hond dankt zijn naam aan het feit dat hij afkomstig is uit de Cheviot Hills, die de grens vormen tussen Engeland en Schotland. De Border Terrier diende voor boeren, herders en sportlieden als werkterriër en als waakhond, omdat ze hen onder alle weeromstandigheden hielpen de last die vossen hen bezorgden te verminderen. De Border Terrier staat naast zijn vaardigheid om vossen te verjagen ook bekend als hulp bij de ongediertebestrijding voor de boeren in dat gebied.
- Deze honden moesten energiek, lichamelijk krachtig en onvermoeibaar zijn. Verder hadden ze een weerbestendige vacht nodig om langdurige blootstelling aan de elementen te kunnen doorstaan. En afgezien van al deze eigenschappen, was de voornaamste specialiteit van de Border Terrier dat hij beschikte over benen die lang genoeg zijn om een paard te volgen, en toch kort genoeg om een vos tot in zijn hol te volgen. De bouw van de Border Terrier is dusdanig dat hij perfect in staat is deze taak uit te voeren.
- De Border Terrier is altijd waakzaam en levendig, maar wel zeer goedaardig. Dit ras is absoluut niet agressief van aard, hoewel hij toch zeer veel blaft. Daarom kan de Border Terrier het goed vinden met andere honden, huisdieren en paarden. Dit ras heeft een stevige omheining nodig en ook mogelijk een versteviging langs de onderrand van het hek, omdat deze hond een neiging tot graven heeft. Hoewel de Border Terrier zijn hoofd in allerlei gaten steekt, weet hij er altijd weer uit te komen.
- De Border Terrier heeft over het algemeen weinig vachtverzorging nodig. Regelmatig borstelen is al voldoende om de vacht er netjes en verzorgd uit te laten zien, baden alleen indien nodig. De Border Terrier wordt gewoonlijk twee keer per jaar met de hand geplukt, waarbij de dode buitenvacht met de hand wordt verwijderd, soms ook met behulp van een trimapparaat. Knippen wordt niet aangeraden. Deze hond is zeer geschikt voor mensen met allergieën, omdat hij weinig tot geen haren verliest.
This mech might not be called remax, since I left many parts, but this MOC is purely made of the parts included Mixel series 8, #71569/71570/71571.
This is just purely for fun - i doubt there would be a need for a lot of these cards :) i just couldnt resist :) its not all work, also a bit play in my studio :)
A macro photograph of a section of a beautiful Amethyst Crystal Cluster (from a Geode) in my rock and mineral collection.
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet colour to irradiation, impurities of iron and in some cases other transition metals, and the presence of other trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions.
Just like my interest in Astronomy, my interest in Minerals, Crystals, Rocks and Fossils (and Geology in general) is purely scientific.

Nagakura Kenichi treats bamboo as a purely sculptural medium. He creates unconventional, organic forms, sometimes accented with pieces of found wood and coated with finishes of his own creation. Nagakura spent years learning traditional bamboo techniques from his grandfather before innovating his own style. Bamboo, says the artist, is an ideal material to express nature: “Bamboo can be either delicate like a spider web or solid as stone, thus embodying the natural cycles of the world.”*
Sometimes railroad museums and tourist railroads can offer up pretty authentic scenes and its hard to get more purely Southern than this! The details abound in this scene from rolling stock, to structures and even proper uniquely SOU lineside signage.
Southern 6133 is FP7A built by EMD in Apr. 1950 and sublettered CNO&TP. The unit had a remarkable career lasting longer than many of its siblings as part of the excursion fleet most famous for its assorted steam locomotivesm. Finally retired in 1980 it was donated to the fledging museum where volunteers restored it to its original green/ imitation aluminum paint scheme. The fully operational unit is right at home in the former Spencer Shop complex providing rides around the grounds of what is now the absolutely fabulous North Carolina Transportation Museum.
What is now the museum complex was once the principle steam shops of the Southern Railway having been opened in 1896 and named after Samuel Spencer who was president of the new railroad at the time. The Southern had only been formed two years earlier when J.P. Morgan interests acquired the bankruptcy Richmond and Danville Railroad and combined it with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway. Tapped to lead the new railroad for Morgan, Spencer, a talented civil engineer and former Confederate cavalry officer (who had served under legendary General Nathan Bedford Forrest) became its first president. Under his leadership, the mileage of the Southern Railway doubled, the number of passengers served annually increased to nearly 12 million, and annual earnings increased from $17 million to $54 million. After his death, the Southern grew to become one of the strongest, most profitable, and progressive roads in the nation.
Immediately seeing the need for a modern system shop, a site beside the mainline roughly halfway between Washington and Atlanta just outside the town of Salisbury was chosen. At its peak around WWII up to 3000 people worked at the shop complex. Original buildings included a machine shop, storehouse building, office building, wood working shop, boiler shop, a power plant, and a large 37-bay roundhouse (purportedly the largest surving in the US) and accompanying turntable. Although Spencer Shops survived into the diesel era, the facility was outdated by the early 1970s and shuttered before being donated to the state of North Carolina in 1977.
To learn a bit more about Spencer, who infamously died young in a tragic train crash on his own railroad only a decade after the opening of this shop, check out this link: www.ncpedia.org/geography/spencer

La face nord de l'Eiger est peut-être, dans l'esprit des alpinistes, la plus terrible des faces des Alpes. Ce n'est ni la plus belle, ni la plus élégante. C'est assurément la moins accueillante! Son histoire complexe mêle alpinisme, ambition et politique. De plus, sa visibilité aisée depuis la vallée a contribué au fort engouement qui accompagna la première ascension. Les touristes pouvaient en effet, grâce à une longue vue, suivre en direct les drames épiques dont la face nord était le théatre dans les années 1930.
Pourquoi est née cette réputation si particulière de l'Eigerwand? Ce sommet n'atteint même pas 4000 metres d'altitude !
L'Eiger est situé en Suisse, dans l'Oberland Bernois. A l'avant du massif, face aux plateaux helvétiques, cette face constitue le premier rempart des Alpes faces aux perturbations atlantiques. Elles y sont donc particulièrement redoutables. De plus, la paroi, concave, retient les nuages plus que les autres sommets.
La paroi est calcaire, raide dans sa partie supérieure. Le cheminement n'est jamais évident,, avec de nombreuses traversées qui rallongent une ascension déjà trés longue. La face fait 1650 m. de haut ! Ces traverseés furent fatales à beaucoup de cordées. Enfin, vue du bas, la face paraît essentiellement rocheuse, alors que de vastes névés s'y accrochent. Ajouté à cela le verglas, et c'est bien plus qu'une course purement rocheuse. Là encore, les cordées en lice pour la première ascension vont l'apprendre à leur dépends.
The north face of Eiger is maybe, in mind of the climbers, the most terrible of the faces of the Alps. It is neither the most beautiful, nor the most elegant. It is undoubtedly the least welcoming! His complex history mixes climbing, ambition and politics. Furthermore, his easy visibility since the valley contributed to the strong craze which accompanied the first ascent. The tourists could indeed, thanks to a long view, follow directly the epic dramas the north face of which was the théatre in the 1930s.
Why was born this reputation if private individual of the Eigerwand? This summit atteind the same step 4000 metres of height!
Eiger is situated in Switzerland(Swiss), in Oberland Bernois. In front of the massif, in front of Helvetian trays, this face constitutes the first rampart of the Alps faces in the Atlantic disturbances. They are there thus particularly redoubtable. Furthermore, the wall, concave, retains clouds more than other summits.
The wall is calcareous, stiff in its top. The progress is never evident, with numerous crossings which extend an ascent already trés long. The face makes 1650 m. of top! This traverseés was fatal in many bundles. Finally, seen by the bottom, the face seems essentially rocky, while of vast névés hang on to it. Added to it the black ice, and it is much more than a purely rocky race. Even there, the bundles in the run for the first ascent are going to learn him, often in depend them

Majestic flower! How purely beautiful
Thou art, as rising from thy bower of green,
Those dark and glossy leaves so thick and full,
Thou standest like a high-born forest queen
Among thy maidens clustering round so fair,--
I love to watch thy sculptured form unfolding,
And look into thy depths, to image there
A fairy cavern, and while thus beholding,
And while thy breeze floats o'er thee, matchless flower,
I breathe the perfume, delicate and strong,
That comes like incense from thy petal-bower;
My fancy roams those southern woods along,
Beneath that glorious tree, where deep among
The unsunned leaves thy large while flowercups hung!

京都 建仁寺 潮音庭
Kennin-ji (建仁寺) is a historic Zen Buddhist temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, Japan, near Gion, at the end of Hanami Lane. It is considered to be one of the so-called Kyoto Gozan or "five most important Zen temples of Kyoto".
Kennin-ji was founded in 1202 CE and claims to be the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto.
The monk Eisai, credited with introducing Zen to Japan, served as Kennin-ji's founding abbot and is buried on the temple grounds. For its first years the temple combined Zen, Tendai, and Shingon practices, but it became a purely Zen institution under the eleventh abbot, Lanxi Daolong (蘭渓道隆 Rankei Dōryū) (1213–1278).
The Zen master Dōgen, later founder of the Japanese Sōtō sect, trained at Kennin-ji. It is one of the Rinzai sect's headquarter temples.

Purely put up as these are my favourite British bird. Wary, elusive, full of character if you ever have a chance to study them. Such glorious plumage, bill, and eyes too. However much I adore the Owls, and Yaffles these stunner tugs at the heartstrings slightly more. Enough of my waffling, more info on these in my Albums if you wish to know. Regarding favourites, films I never tire of are, The Constant Gardener, The Pianist, and Shawshank.
Purely a gravity racer until our intrepid space girl realised you could roll up hill with the aid of a jet pack. We all like her style.
PURELY DECORATIVE CORN and Fresh Hazelnuts, called cobnuts
Here you see Corn ’Black Aztec’ a delicious heirloom corn said to have been grown by the Aztecs 2,000 years ago. And a Zea mays 'Strawberry’, ruby-red rounded cobs produced in abundance on this highly ornamental variety.
Once dried, the kernels are simply the best variety for popping!
Flint corn (Zea mays indurata; also known as Indian corn or sometimes calico corn) is a variant of maize (var. Linnaeus), the same species as common corn.
Because each kernel has a hard outer layer to protect the soft endosperm, it is likened to being hard as flint; hence the name.

A shot uploaded purely for interest value captures Deltic 55021 "Argyll & Sutherland Highlander", hustling through the centre road at Retford with an unidentified up express to London Kings Cross.
Interest value because Retford was still controlled by semaphores signals at the time, and the down platform and buildings were still intact. Not long afterwards the building on the left was removed, the platform and track realigned for faster running, and colour light signalling introduced - all part of the East Coast Mainline modernisation plan.
In fact the track layout had already been considerably simplified by the time this shot was taken with the sharp turn-out to the Worksop line just in front of Retford North Signal Box presumably clipped and out of use, and the complex structure of crossovers and points from the Worksop line to the Up Fast and Up Platform lines also removed.

For me, eggs on the table at Easter is like a tree at Christmas - serves a purely aesthetic purpose. And the (grown-up) children don't like chocolate eggs, anyway. They much prefer these... Actually, for us, Easter, Christmas, Passover, etc. etc. are all about food.
La Pasti - (George Topârceanu)
Astazi in sufragerie
Dormitau pe-o farfurie,
Necajite si manjite,
Zece oua inrosite.
Un ou alb, abia ouat,
Cu mirare le-a-ntrebat:
- Ce va este, fratioare,
- Ce va doare?
Nu va ninge, nu va ploua,
Stati gatite-n haina noua,
Parca, Dumnezeu ma ierte,
N-ati fi oua…
- Suntem fierte!
Zise-un ou rotund si fraise
Langa pasca cu orez.
Si schimbindu-si brusc alura,
Toate-au inceput cu gura:
- Pan’la urma tot nu scap!
- Ne gateste de parada.
- Ne ciocneste cap in cap
Si ne zvarle coaja-n strada…
- Ce rusine!
- Ce dezastru!
- Preferam sa fiu omleta!
- Eu, de m-ar fi dat la closca,
As fi scos un pui albastru…
- Si eu unul violet…
- Eu, mai bine-ar fi sa tac:
Asa galben sunt, ca-mi vine
Sa-mi inchipui ca pe mine
M-a ouat un cozonac!…
