Woolwich Arsenal station Elizabeth line.
The historic site of the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich was once a walled off private world that saw the manufacture of guns and explosives, munitions testing, a military academy and the production of medals and other civilian goods.
The new Elizabeth line station named after the late Queen is helping to transform Woolwich, supporting regeneration, reducing journey times and creating new transport links for local people.
A 276-metre-long box station sits below a major housing development site. Set back from the main street and surrounded by a series of heritage-listed buildings and a large retail unit, the station acts as a simple portal connecting all these elements together. The minimalist, straightforward design provides entry into the station from a single 30-metre wide bronze-clad portal. The bronze cladding features a rifling pattern reminiscent of the cannons which were cast on the Arsenal site.
Terminal Crociere
A soli 15 minuti a piedi dal centro del capoluogo, il porto di Funchal è attualmente una delle infrastrutture portuali del paese, con il più grande afflusso delle navi da crociera. Situato nella splendida baia di Funchal, il porto è un buon punto per osservare la particolare conformazione ad anfitaetro dove le case si affacciano sul mare inserendosi nel paesaggio verde della montagna che finisce dolcemente nel mare.

My pink 'Queen Elizabeth' hybrid tea rose, at the Roxborough Park Rose Gardens, Baulkham Hills, north-western Sydney.
This variety of hybrid tea rose is very highly awarded, having won the AARS (All American Rose Selection Award) in 1955, ARS (American Rose Society) Gold Medal in 1957 and the prestigious Golden Rose of The Hague in 1968. It was inducted into the World Rose Hall of Fame in 1979.
And, of-course, it now grows in the Hills District of Sydney!!

It is now less than a week until the Coronation of King Charles III, and people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth move into the new Carolean Age.
Imagine my delight when I recently received my first Carolean Era stamp on a letter from a friend in Worcestershire, featuring His Majesty's profile. Not only was it interesting to see His Majesty in profile on a stamp, but also to note that this stamp makes a break in royal tradition, where the rule is that he should be facing in the opposite direction to his mother.
Whether Her Late Majesty liked rule breakers or not, I am sure she would be very proud of King Charles as he takes up the reigns of ruling and walks in his mother's footsteps, but decidedly to the beat of his own drum.
I hope this is not me today playing golf on my 40th birthday(again) The Queen I heard likes this song....Me too your Majesty! Happy Birthday! Enjoy your weekend my friends! ~Sam

The Queen Elizabeth Botanical Gardens is located close to the Mountain View Cemetery, that I was also visiting. Over a two day period, both were targeted, while the weather cooperated. The most vivid colors tend to avail themselves given this time of year. But, it is also the light delivered that aids in revealing what is available.
Choosing to shoot just after the rain, and with dark clouds above, can give saturated colors. Soil is dark, wet leaves give their strongest colors, cloudy skies help prevent harsh shadows. The right combination of various weather features, help provide a marvellous opportunity to capture Autumn's best.
This is a Christmas card taken by Baron.
Stirling Henry Nahum known professionally as Baron was a society and court photographer and a friend of Prince Phillip. . He was appointed a Court Photographer to the British Royal Family, and took the official photographs for many occasions such as the wedding of Philip to Princess Elizabeth in 1947, the christenings of their children Charles and Anne and other occasions.] Prince Philip put forward his name in 1953 to take the official photographs of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, but the Queen Mother preferred Cecil Beaton.
I think this photo was taken in the mid 50's but I'm only guessing. It was given to me very recently by a lady whose mother had a cousin who worked at Balmoral Castle. It was sent by the cousin to a relative here in the US in the 1950's.
Handheld unsharpness, I was using the maximum zoom on the camera as binoculars to verify the name of the cruise ship moored way out in Weymouth Bay ... but photo taken when I saw a lone figure ... the only person I've seen on one of perhaps a dozen different huge passenger ships marking time out in the bay during this pandemic
Ken & I watched Queen Elizabeth's funeral and felt so sad. I think her funeral was as grand as her coronation was. What a way to go out. She was a grand lady! RIP HRH
... for my 'special day'
and for a peaceful Sunday for you all!
Rose 'Queen Elizabeth' in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
She graced our river in 2021 and we all are hoping she will be back soon.
We all are also hoping for peace in our dangerous world, so after the disruptions of Covid we can get back to something approaching normality.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

Queen Elizabeth came to Winnipeg in 2010 and so I ran down to our Government House in the hopes of catching a glimpse... her car was coming down the road way and I was perched on top of a fence... I could have run up to the car, but decided to behave and try and a catch a glimpse of her Majesty... she did see me and waved... I smiled back...
For Macro Monday's theme of "Royal". This magnetic ornament was bought by my son for my mother on a visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh. My mother, like the queen, had four children, was married to a Philip, had a sister called Margaret and a grandson called William. She was born ten weeks before the queen in 1926 and died ten weeks after the queen, in 2022, at the wonderful age of 96. There, the similarities probably end. My mother had this on her radiator, sometimes upside down!
Monday we went to Black River Marsh to spend time in nature. When we came back to the parking lot we saw this car with a cardboard cutout in the rear passenger side window. How could I not capture the moment for posterity?
I bought this from Neil Kerber (from Private Eye)- I thought it was funny.
I got an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in October. I think Neil Kerber probably offers one of these cartoons to everyone in the honours list that he can find an email address for. Anyway I liked it enough to grab the bait and buy it as a print. I will eventually find a spot on the wall for it! Nice to have something fun to remember the OBE.
Goodness knows when the inauguration ceremony will ever be. ...Sometime the other side of Covid for sure. ...looking forward to it.
