Newport, Rhode Island gained a reputation as a playground for the rich and is home to some of the most impressive mansions from America's gilded age, but the area has always been home to a working maritime industry, as well, with a rich nautical history. Castle Hill Light is small at only 34', and far from opulent, but it performs its duty with the steadfast resolve of a New England waterman, regardless of the conditions.
Remotely located at the end of Ocean Drive, this granite guardian is an active navigation aid for all vessels entering the East Passage of Narragansett Bay between Conanicut Island (seen in the background) and Aquidneck Island.

The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.
Clover's reputation has waxed and waned over the last century. Once considered a sign of a well-managed lawn, clover came to be considered a weed only after broadleaf herbicides hit the market.Today, gardeners are growing wise to the plant's many benefits. They plant clover to improve soil health, attract beneficial insects, and promote a healthy lawn.

The reputation of this “resistance nest”, situated in Colleville, stems from the fact that the US landing forces suffered enormous losses as a result of the defensive fire of this strongpoint.
I fall in love when I clapped my eyes with this cool wall mural street art.
One can certainly say, that these Street Artists, know how to brighten up any old buildings, with their fantastic colourful fantasy artwork!
I really enjoyed walking around the streets of Manchester, with its pleasant atmosphere and its reputation of being cool... Which it certainly is!
Cheers and thanks for cool compliments from you here, my flickr friends !!!
San Francisco has maintained its reputation as a center of cultural bohemianism. In earlier years it had drawn writers from Mark Twain to Jack London, and it became a center for the 1950s beat poets and for the Haight-Ashbury hippie counterculture that peaked with the 1967 “Summer of Love.”
The reputation of this lens is rather mixed and, frequently, a lack of sharpness has been highlighted. It is true to say that, among the many primes Fuji has produced for its x-mount cameras, this one is generally more on the average side. However, if you treat it well, it will produce the goods. And, for a wide-angle lens, this one is very light and portable. A walker in the field, Kensworth, Bedfordshire.
Pebbles Tavern in Watchet is one of the best rated pubs in Somerset and is probably the best place to find Somerset's most famous export, cider, and lots of it.
It's been under the capable care of manager Dean Manley for the last six years, and he is as big a fan of cider and decent beer as he is good music.
The pub has a secondary reputation for bringing decent and exciting bands to west Somerset, mostly focused on jazz, swing and bluegrass.

Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Males tend to take smaller birds, including tits, finches, and sparrows; females catch primarily thrushes and starlings, but are capable of killing birds weighing 500 g (18 oz) or more.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk is found throughout the temperate and subtropical parts of the Old World; while birds from the northern parts of the range migrate south for winter, their southern counterparts remain resident or make dispersive movements. Eurasian sparrowhawks breed in suitable woodland of any type, with the nest, measuring up to 60 cm (2.0 ft) across, built using twigs in a tree. Four or five pale blue, brown-spotted eggs are laid; the success of the breeding attempt is dependent on the female maintaining a high weight while the male brings her food. The chicks hatch after 33 days and fledge after 24 to 28 days.
The probability of a juvenile surviving its first year is 34%, with 69% of adults surviving from one year to the next. Mortality in young males is greater than that of young females and the typical lifespan is four years. This species is now one of the most common birds of prey in Europe, although the population crashed after the Second World War. Organochlorine insecticides used to treat seeds before sowing built up in the bird population, and the concentrations in Eurasian sparrowhawks were enough to kill some outright and incapacitate others; affected birds laid eggs with fragile shells which broke during incubation. However, its population recovered after the chemicals were banned, and it is now relatively common, classified as being of Least Concern by BirdLife International.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk's hunting behaviour has brought it into conflict with humans for hundreds of years, particularly racing pigeon owners and people rearing poultry and gamebirds. It has also been blamed for decreases in passerine populations. The increase in population of the Eurasian Sparrowhawk coincides with the decline in House Sparrows in Britain. Studies of racing pigeon deaths found that Eurasian sparrowhawks were responsible for less than 1%. Falconers have utilised the Eurasian sparrowhawk since at least the 16th century; although the species has a reputation for being difficult to train, it is also praised for its courage. The species features in Teutonic mythology and is mentioned in works by writers including William Shakespeare, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Ted Hughes.
Male Eurasian sparrowhawks regularly kill birds weighing up to 40 g (1.4 oz) and sometimes up to 120 g (4.2 oz); females can tackle prey up to 500 g (18 oz) or more. The weight of food consumed by adult birds daily is estimated to be 40–50 g (1.4–1.8 oz) for males and 50–70 g (1.8–2.5 oz) for females. During one year, a pair of Eurasian sparrowhawks could take 2,200 house sparrows, 600 common blackbirds or 110 wood pigeons. Species that feed in the open, far from cover, or are conspicuous by their behaviour or coloration, are taken more often by Eurasian sparrowhawks. For example, great tits and house sparrows are vulnerable to attack. Eurasian sparrowhawks may account for more than 50% of deaths in certain species, but the extent varies from area to area.
Males tend to take tits, finches, sparrows and buntings; females often take thrushes and starlings. Larger quarry (such as doves and magpies) may not die immediately but succumb during feather plucking and eating. More than 120 bird species have been recorded as prey and individual Eurasian sparrowhawks may specialise in certain prey. The birds taken are usually adults or fledglings, though chicks in the nest and carrion are sometimes eaten. Small mammals, including bats, are sometimes caught but insects are eaten only very rarely.

The reputation of dangerous places, things, animals is almost always exaggerated. It's not that it doesn't exist, but the danger is usually slight enough to justify the risk. For example, I was afraid the first time I visited New York City, expecting gangs and pickpockets at every corner. I've been close, very close to grizzly bears, lions, and other toothy critters. Yes, incidents do happen, but usually to people who aren't cognizant or just ignore the risk and go for a jog or carry food or do something else provocative. A friend of mine and others I know about swim with sharks. Pet them. One professional friend of mine gets out of the cage once in-a-while with great white sharks. He's still here to tell about it. All that rambling preamble to this image dates back to when I was warned not to go into wild dog country in an open vehicle. "They will kill you" I was told. Years later, on a trip with Todd Gustafson, one of the premier photographers in the world, we had the opportunity to photograph a pack of wild dogs. Like most wild animals, they have seen humans from the moment they could see. Inside a vehicle we were to be ignored, or maybe used as shade. The risk at the airport or driving in the rain over wet and slippery ground was much more dangerous than being close to a pack of wild dogs.

Arthur's Pass National Park is located in the South Island of New Zealand and covers 1,185 km2 of mostly mountainous terrain. The park is popular for tramping, skiing, hunting and mountaineering. The mountains around Arthur's Pass contain very challenging terrain. The peaks are highly exposed to the weather, the tracks are often very steep, and are often marked only by poles strung across a rocky landscape. Below the tree line the bush is dense and thick. In common with many alpine areas the weather is subject to frequent and sudden change. There have been numerous incidents where trampers have been unprepared for the harsh and variable conditions, and Arthur's Pass National Park consequently has a reputation as one of the most dangerous national parks in New Zealand.
The Devils Punchbowl waterfall is located close to the northern end of Arthur′s Pass Village. The short walk to the waterfall and back can be completed in under two hours. The start of the walk is at the footbridge that crosses the Bealey River. The walk takes in beech forest resplendent with birdlife. The track climbs a well maintained track to the base of the 131 metre waterfall, where there is a viewing platform. (Wikipedia)
------------------
We hiked part of the Devil's Punchbowl trail in search of Keas and other bird life but did not make it to the waterfall. Stunningly beautiful and surprisingly cold, this national park and the nearby glacier were well worth the visit.

Photographed from Woolcott Street, Waverton.
Half an hour before sunset.
SO today my 6.30pm work appointment at Bella Vista was cancelled. Perfect. It was a clear and sunny afternoon. So I drove to the harbourside via the M7, M2 and the mega expensive Lane Cove Tunnel. I decided on Waverton for my sunset photographs, and parked on Woolcott Street for this image, before shifting to the Berrys Bay Lookout on Larkin Street.
And that's where I ran into a group of English backpackers from Newcastle (in England). All women in their early to mid 20s. I sometimes meet the most amazing people on my photo excursions. And it's always so unexpected.
And, oh, for the backpacking girls from Newcastle who all love AC DC (as I do, of-course) here is 'Wild Reputation' by AC DC.
So play it LOUD:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZE89NFYb04
Anyway, we got talking about Sydney and they declared that our city had "a wild reputation". I was a tad bemused by that because I think Sydney is, on the whole, rather tame!!
But anyway, the girls mentioned that Newcastle has a bridge, the Tyne Bridge, that is exactly like the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Now how could that be? But check this:
www.google.com/search?sca_esv=b679d9581e4a3aee&rlz=1C...
And wait, there's more - the Tyne bridge was actually constructed four years before our bridge. Really? You learn something new every day. And both bridges were designed by London firm 'Mott, Hay and Anderson'. Wow!!
So after taking sunset pictures of the harbour from the Berrys Bay Lookout we went to the nearby Commodore Hotel, on Blues Point Road, for some drinks and pizza. And I will now definitely have to visit Newcastle, somewhere over in England, because I think that's where the real "wild reputation" exists. Let's go....

I have a reputation for loosing my gloves and hats (and sometimes umbrellas, too, if I ever use one) at a regular basis ... usually on the streetcar / tram, on the mountains or somewhere else out and about taking photos
... I don't mind wearing odd / different gloves (and socks) though, so I don't throw away the single ones ; ))
And there are actually columns dedicated to all the lonely gloves out there on "out of frame" (a student-edited platform for all things untold, unseen and forgotten, so they say):

Isotta Fraschini quickly established a reputation for innovation and high-quality craftsmanship. Its legacy is often attributed to its eight-cylinder luxury cars built during the 1920s, but it was many years earlier that the company forged its reputation for motor racing. Leading the charge in the engineering department was Giustino Cattaneo who developed the Tipo I Corsa in 1907, which competed at the Coppa Florio that year and emerged victoriously. A year later, in modified form, it won the Targa Florio. Following these victories, Isotta Fraschini designed a high-performance, lightweight, road-going car called the Tipo FE Voiturette. Several high-horsepower models followed and were particularly popular with U.S.-based enthusiasts.
The United States market was important to Isotta Fraschini and they made considerable efforts to promote their cars, most often through racing endeavors. In 1908, placed second in the Vanderbilt Cup, and were victorious in several other events including the Briarcliff Trophy, Savannah Trophy, and the Lowell Cup. In preparation for the Indianapolis 500, Isotta Fraschini Motor Co. of New York commissioned the Tipo IM. Six examples were built in the spring of 1913, wearing designs inspired by the KM and TM models.
The Isotta Fraschini Tipo IM was powered by an aircraft-inspired overhead cam, a 16-valve engine with a revised bore and stroke ratio, and a displacement size of 7,238 cubic centimeters. Its 7.2-liter displacement allowed it to comply with the limit set for American racing events. The 135 horsepower produced at 2,350 RPM was sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. Another advanced feature was the four-wheel braking system. The suspension was comprised of a solid front and a live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs all around.
As production was winding down, production was delayed due to a strike at the factory. Despite the setbacks, the factory was able to fulfill its American contracts. The cars were sent to Le Havre, France, and loaded onto the Lusitania on April 29th. They arrived in New York on May 24th and were sent to Indianapolis by express train, just in time to participate in qualifying sessions.
The 1913 Indianapolis 500 was the third year of the event, and it was the substantial monetary rewards that attracted U.S. and European factory-backed teams. The Isotta Fraschini team had the most modern and sophisticated machinery that they were capable of producing, and the lineup of drivers was equally impressive, consisting of Targa Florio winner Vincenzo Trucco, American racer 'Terrible' Teddy Tetzlaff, and two-time Vanderbilt Cup winner Harry Grant. Ray Gilhooley was hired as the relief driver, and he was lent a Tipo KM, which he drove prior to the start of the race in exhibition laps.
In the end, it was the lack of preparation and fine-tuning that proved to be the Achilles Heel of the Tipo IM's effort, having been prepared during the midst of the labor strike. The demise of all three cars was attributed to minor mechanical issues, with Grant leaving on Lap 14 due to a split gas tank. Trucco had the same issue but his car held up to Lap 39 before he bowed out of the race. Tetzlaff's carried the torch for Isotta Fraschini through lap 118 when a broken drive chain ended his day.
The car driven by Tetzlaff returned to Indianapolis 500 a year later and was entrusted to Ray Gilhooley. On Lap 41, the Isotta suffered a tire blowout in Turn 3, which ensnared the drive chain. The car spun wildly and ejected the driver and riding mechanic in the process, eventually coming to a stop on tires in the infield.
In many ways, these were the end and pinnacle of an era, and at the same time gave a glimpse into the future. The chain drive system was archaic and the front wheel brakes were thoroughly modern. Had they not succumbed to mechanical issues, it would have been interesting how history would have recorded their accomplishments at Indy.

This quarry gained a reputation for poor working conditions and was known locally as "The Slaughterhouse". Between 1875 and 1893 there were 21 deaths in Cwmorthin out of a workforce of around 550. Following the passing of the Metalliferous Mines Act 1872, all mines were required to keep records of their operations, and to report fatal injuries, some details of the men and boys employed, and the output of the mine. Like many slate mines, Cwmorthin argued that it was a quarry, and that the law did not apply to them.
Life in the barracks at most quarries was uncomfortable but at Cwmorthin conditions were generally considered the worst in the industry. They were overcrowded, damp and squalid and there were no washing facilities apart from the nearest stream.

KAKLIK CAVE - or PAMUKKALE under ground
Pamukkale has a world-wide reputation. Kaklik Cave on the other hand is less known. Although I am a native of the region, it is only recently that I have come to know Kaklik Cave. It has been discovered in recent years. Kaklik Cave is 36 km from Denizli, a city in southwest Turkey. If you are travelling eastward from Denizli take a detour of 4 km when you reach Kaklik intersection on the highway. Just follow the road signs to the cave. It's located at 37°51'22.25"N 29°23'6.59"E.
Chemical sedimentation processes similar to those found in Pamukkale are also at work here in Kaklik Cave. There is a slight difference to the composition of the water though. Upon entering the cave you smell a strong scent of sulphur or rotten egg. I am not a chemist or geologist, so I can only make an educated guess. Here there is a greenish formation on the rocks that may be due to bacterial growth or merely a chemical process. The pools and travertines are stunningly similar to those in Pamukkale although at a smaller scale. Unfortunately Wikipedia has no entry on the subject at the time of this writing.
Kaklık Mağarası veya Yeraltı Pamukkale'si
Pamukale'yi duymayanımız yoktur. Ama bir Denizli'li olarak Kaklık Mağarası'nı ben de son yıllarda duydum, ve ilk defa 2006'da gördüm. O zaman uygun bir kameram olmadığı için resmini çekememiştim. Şimdi çok şükür bir NIKON D60 ım var. Dün bol bol resim çektim.
Denizli - Afyon karayolunun 32. km'sinde trafik ışıklarından sola sapıp 4 km gidiyorsunuz. Düz ovada mağara görecegim diye beklemeyin, çünki mağara yer altında. Haritadaki yeri 37°51'22.25"N 29°23'6.59"E. Burada Pamukkale'deki kimyasal sedimentasyona benzer bir reaksiyon söz konusu olabilir. Travertenler Pamukkale'dekilere çok benziyor, sadece daha küçük. Konunun uzmanı olan arkadaşların katkılarını buraya ilave edebilirim.
Could you believe I could be different?
I'll be the difference, I'll lift you high
And I understand your hesitation
Our reputation, it's no surprise
So let me redefine you
And you can see the tide move
Just like tears in the eyes do
And when you're feeling alone
Oh, baby, I'll be right here
Between the sea and silence
So breathe easy right here
You can find sunshine in the rain
Perhaps you will know by reputation this small jewel of only 30 residents.
Getting to Bagno Vignoni is always magical and this day in August there was a wonderful light.
-A rectangular basin, of sixteenth-century origin, which contains a source of hot and steaming thermal water that comes out of the underground stratum of volcanic origins. Since the time of the Etruscans and then of the Romans - as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds - the baths of Bagno Vignoni have been frequented by illustrious figures, such as Pope Pius II, Catherine of Siena, Lorenzo de 'Medici and many artists who had elected the village as a holiday home.-Wiki
it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagno_Vignoni
Throughout this time this village has remained unchanged.
Once the thermal bath was made here. Today, there are spas, or you can immerse yourself in the small path of hot water (only the feet) that crosses the village and heads towards the steep escarpment of the Parco naturale dei Mulini
In 1982 the Soviet director Andrej Arsen'evič Tarkovskij, exiled for some years in Tuscany, set many scenes from the movie Nostalghia in Bagno Vignoni, which the following year won the Grand Prix du cinéma de création at the Cannes festival.

This is when we paddled ("we" meaning our guide ;) through Dot Cave. Dot Cave is the longest cave in the Trang An Grotto area, and also one of the longest in the Ninh Bình province, stretching approximately 1km.
It was a fun paddle. Somewhere between the second stalactite to the forehead and the fiftieth mysterious splash, we agreed that Dot Cave certainly earned it's reputation as a must see!
Thanks kindly for any likes/comments, they are always appreciated.
Waterscape 35/100 in 2025
The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.

Painted by Gent 48, this striking mural serves as a powerful tribute to Birmingham’s diverse future. Featuring dynamic portraits and layered graffiti textures, it conveys both artistic innovation and cultural resonance. Situated on Meriden Street, the work exemplifies Digbeth’s reputation as a creative hub.
Spirit Island is a tiny tied island in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. This landmark is the destination of boat trips across Maligne Lake, a view many people associate with the Canadian Rockies. Spirit Island enjoys worldwide reputation, and is one of the most famous and photographed views of the Canadian Rockies. Maligne Lake boat cruises offer close views of the island.
Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy.
Inspired by the album art of 'reputation' by Taylor Swift.
Its haunted reputation stems from two main stories. One recounts a fatal night in January, 1815. A party of soldiers visited their friend, the first lighthouse keeper John Paul Radelmüller. When the lighthouse keeper saw his guests were becoming too drunk, he refused to produce more liquor. The enraged soldiers beat Radelmüller to death and escape along Blockhouse Bay. His body was allegedly cut into pieces and buried around the islands.
The other story says that Radelmüller simply vanished in 1815. In 1893, the lighthouse keeper at the time allegedly found parts of a human skeleton buried close to the lighthouse. Many believed it to be Radelmüller’s unfound remains, but this story remains controversial.
