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.

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.

Maybe the third or fourth most common bird here... unlike the other commons, this one is entertaining and I think its reputation as an intelligent bird is well earned also. It's a great photo subject and will hop up into a tree for you for two or three Jordanian Dinars; very cooperative...
On Friday, there were eight or these sort of guarding this puddle, say 90 meters from a leaking irrigation pipeline and they seemed to be protective of the area holding two Bluethroats, two Robins, three Prinia and a pair of Chiffchaffs away... fun watching... could have been two or three Dead Sea Sparrows here also but I only saw enough of them to say they were sparrows... I was also hoping for some Linnets but they never showed up...
The Model 48 was a harbinger of things to come and in 1935 Ford would once again outsell Chevrolet with 820,000 units. No wonder, as the 1935 Ford 5-window coupe was a thorough redo from earlier years and Ford’s reputation for value, sensibleness, and appearance turned out to be a winning combination. The 1935 Ford 5-window coupe, and other models that year, was offered in a standard and DeLuxe trim. The grille featured a “forward-appearing” look while the fenders became more cohesive with the body, causing them to “stick out” less. This design reflected the design influences of the day.
Ford advertising for the 1935 models spoke of their cars having a “personality“. They implied that every new design put into the new 1935 look was part of the overall cars personality. Ford felt that the 1935 designs carried a very well groomed look. One example pointed out was the new curve designed into the cars “bullet headlamps.” Much was also touted regarding the newly designed bumper guards and grille. They said that their new 1935 models were “sturdy fine cars“. Ford advertising pointed out that design of the vehicles rear end is as pleasing as that of the front end. Every line of the car has been designed to carry to a logically designed conclusion all the way to the sloping rear end and the baked enamel finish was made even better than that of 1934.
Ford’s 1935 models all had an improved engine with a better built crankshaft and an efficient crankcase ventilation system which Ford named “direct flow“. In 1935 Ford moved the engine forward on the chassis 8 1/2 inches. Ford touted that the move forward distributed the weight much better front to back. With the engine moved further forward the frames were redesigned as well. The new frame design also moved the passenger seating forward which centered passenger weight more toward the cars midpoint. Because of these weight distribution changes, the 1935 Fords were built with longer chassis springs. The spring base was increased 6 1/2 inches.
The V-8 Ford engine in the 1935 models 221.0 cid putting out a top range of 85 horsepower. The wheelbase was 112.0 inches and the car’s weight varied between 2,400 and 3,000 pounds.The new car price at the time was anywhere from $500 to $900 depending on accessories and add ons.
Suspension in both the front and rear stayed the same from 1934 with a single transverse leaf spring both front and rear. The 1935 Fords were the last with wire wheels.
Running boards were specially designed to drain water. To help with ventilation, rear windows were made to easily open and close. The gas cap was recessed in the rear lamp bracket.
In 1935 Ford made big strides with their all aluminum cylinder heads. One advantage Ford pointed out was that the aluminum cylinder heads meant better engine power efficiency and as a result better fuel efficiency.
Interiors
Regarding the interior of Ford’s 1935 models, Ford suggested that the new Fords were in every way a man’s car but it took a woman to appreciate the finish and detail. Ford would advertise that their upholstery was of the finest quality available and that the car’s dashboard was as practical as a “ships control room.”

The Common Merganser has a reputation for being a very hardy waterfowl member and will as long as the water stays open, winter further north than most other waterbirds and tend to prefer a habitat of freshwater versus saltwater.
Their breeding territory ranges across most of our northern forests from Alaska to Newfoundland. They tend to be a quiet species unless disturbed or when they are active in their courtship period. Sometimes they are cavity nesters, sometimes they use man-made nesting boxes and sometimes they nest on the ground where a clutch can contain anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs.
They are one of the more socialites of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on open lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their flock.

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.
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.”

"Rainy days and Mondays always get me down." - song lyrics by The Carpenters.
Funny how each day of the week seems to have its own "reputation". Mondays are tough for many of us going back to work after our "day of rest" Sunday. The Monday of this week was a rainy day for us but because it was a holiday, I didn't let it "get me down". Wednesday is "hump day". Well, our family sure hit a big hump this week. However, we got over it and ended up with great news. Friday often gets labelled TGIF. Yup, I am glad it is Friday. I am emotionally spent and need the weekend to build up my reserves for the next 5 day work week. Happy Fence Friday everyone! Make the most of your weekend.
Building work got underway in 1201. Eight centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. Even the monks’ fishpond is still full of water!
From its cloister to chapter house, with striking rib-vaulted roof, this abbey was shaped by the devout nature of its inhabitants. The abbey was also remarkably self-sufficient thanks to the lay brethren. They were happy to leave the choir monks to their prayers while they got on with the job of tending the land. All friends together? Not quite. The monks observed their daily offices in the choir, separated by a screen from the lay brethren who worshipped in the nave of the abbey church.
Far from an easy life, Valle Crucis Abbey suffered a serious fire and numerous attacks but went on to earn a reputation for its appreciation of the literary arts. In 1535 it was ranked the second richest Cistercian monastery after Tintern. By this time, the Cistercians had relaxed their orthodox austerity. A comfortable heated suite was created for the abbot. This new found wealth and hospitality didn’t last long. Valle Crucis was duly dissolved by royal decree in 1537.

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):

The Common Merganser has a reputation for being a very hardy waterfowl member and will as long as the water stays open, winter further north than most other waterbirds and tend to prefer fresh water to salt water.
Their breeding territory ranges across most of our northern forests from Alaska to Newfoundland. They tend to be a quiet species unless disturbed or during the courtship period. Sometimes they are cavity nesters using man-made nesting boxes and sometimes nest on the ground. A nest can contain a clutch of anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs.
Their elongated bodies make it much easier for them to tote their young on their backs while swimming.
They are one of the more social of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their own flocks.
This species is our most widespread and abundant merganser and is often referred to as a "Fish Duck".
Late this afternoon in Sydney.
Tuesday, 5th March, 2024.
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....

Squirrels often have a bad reputation as being a nuisance in gardens and campsites. However, they are smart survivors and I am taking lessons from them this winter. It looks like restrictions are going to get tighter in our province so today I am going to stock up on essentials to survive harsher winter weather and possible empty shelves at the grocery stores again. Nuts are something I love to eat and now that I am home more, I don’t need to worry about nut allergies! So I will squirrel away a good supply of those for the winter. I’ll try to get creative with lentils and chickpeas, too. If we find out that supplies are getting even more scarce by spring, I can always dig up my tulip bulbs and eat those. My parents did that during the war. Some fancy restaurants offer special tulip based recipes in the spring that you pay a premium price for! Yup, it’s not a bad idea to take some lessons from the squirrel. 😉
From being a backwater fishing village at the turn of the 20th Century, with mostly bamboo hut dwellings known as “kampong houses,” Singapore now has some of the most modern and unique architecture anywhere in the world. The city state’s commercial success has provided it with the wealth to not only preserve many historical buildings, but also develop some very iconic modern structures, such as the floating Apple Store, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and the ArtScience Museum, set among lofty skyscrapers.
The contemporary buildings have been developed with a view to enhance Singapore’s reputation as the Garden City, and maximize the tropical vegetation coverage, whether it is on pedestrian bridges or rooftop gardens. This effort dilutes the concrete jungle feel that most urban centers have, and encourages people to walk rather than jump into a car for every little trip.
♫ I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Living in the past, it's a new generation
A boy can do what he wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me ♫

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.

A spider with a bad reputation here in NZ and one you have to be careful of and another spider hunter.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a small town with a big reputation. Nowhere else will you find such a wealth of original buildings dating from the Middle Ages. You can't help but ask yourself whether time has stood still, as you amble past the beautiful old houses, secluded squares and tucked-away corners of the old quarter, where towers, taverns and town gates alternate with fountains, fortifications and former storehouses.
The reputation of Magnasco,one of the most individual eighteenth-century painters,resides in the exuberance of his of his technique and the fantasy of his subject matter.Here people from the fringes of society have gathered to watch the spectacle of a man trying to teach a magpie to sing-an impossible task.The picture was probably painted when Magnasco was working for the Medici in Florence and was in contact with Sebastiano Ricci-the MET
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.
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.

Castel dell'Ovo is a seafront castle in Naples, located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in the Middle Ages as a great sorcerer and predictor of the future. In the legend, Virgil put a magical egg into the foundations to support the fortifications. It remains there along with his bones, and had this egg been broken, the castle would have been destroyed and a series of disastrous events for Naples would have followed. The castle is located between the districts of San Ferdinando and Chiaia, facing Mergellina across the sea.
The Castel dell'Ovo is the oldest castle in Naples. The island of Megaride was where Greek colonists from Cumae founded the original nucleus of the city in the 6th century BC. Its location offers an excellent view of the Naples waterfront and the surrounding area.
In the 1st century BC, the Roman patrician Lucius Licinius Lucullus built part of the magnificent villa, later called Castellum Lucullanum, on the site.
Fortified by Valentinian III in the mid-5th century, it was the site to which the last western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was exiled in 476. Eugippius founded a monastery on the site after 492.
The remains of the Roman-era structures and later fortifications were demolished by local residents in the 9th century to prevent their use by Saracen raiders. The first castle on the site was built by the Normans in the 12th century. Roger the Norman, conquering Naples in 1140, made Castel dell'Ovo his seat. The importance of the Castel dell'Ovo began to decline when king Charles I of Anjou (r. 1266–85) built a new castle, Castel Nuovo, and moved his court there. Castel dell'Ovo became the seat of the Royal Chamber and of the State Treasury. It also served as a prison. In 1191, Empress Constance of the Holy Roman Empire, daughter of Roger, was captured during her struggle with her nephew Tancred, King of Sicily for the crown of Sicily, and Sicilian Chancellor Matthew d'Ajello wrote to Tancred persuading him to lock her in the island Castel dell'Ovo to be better-guarded and secluded from people, and wrote to nobleman Aligerno Cottone in charge of defending Naples ordering him to "ut imperatricem in Castro Salvatoris ad mare benè custodiat" (guard the empress in "Castle of the Savior" (i. e. Castel dell'Ovo) in the sea properly). However, Constance was released the next year and finally became Queen of Sicily. In 1268, King Conradin was imprisoned here before his trial and execution. Also imprisoned here were children of Manfred, King of Sicily after his failure. In 1381, Queen Joanna I of Naples was also imprisoned there for a time after having been forced to surrender to her enemy Charles of Durazzo, the future Charles III of Naples, before her assassination.
The current appearance dates from the Aragonese domination (15th century). It was struck by French and Spanish artillery during the Italian Wars; in the Neapolitan Republic of 1799 its guns were used by rebels to deter the philo-Bourbon population of the city.
After a long period of decay, the site got its current appearance following an extensive renovation project started in 1975.
In the 19th century, a small fishing village called Borgo Marinaro, which is still extant, developed around the castle's eastern wall. It is now known for its marina and restaurants. The castle is rectangular in plan, approximately 200 by 45 metres at its widest, with a high bastion overlooking the causeway that connects it to the shore; the causeway is more than 100 metres long and a popular location for newlyweds to have their wedding photos taken. Several buildings are often used for exhibitions and other special events inside the castle walls. Behind the castle, there is a long promontory once probably used as a docking area. A large round tower stands outside the castle walls to the southeast.
Underwater archaeologists have discovered what appears to be a 2500-year-old harbor associated with the origins of the first Greek settlement of Paleopolis (which preceded the ancient city of Neapolis, now Naples) in the sea next to the castle. Four tunnels, a 10-foot-wide street demonstrating furrows consistent with cart traffic, and a trench likely built as a defensive structure for soldiers were submerged immediately adjacent to the castle. The discovery was announced in March 2018, after the September 2017 identification of the original port of Neapolis.
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.

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.

A decade ago, the Lord Mayor had the brilliant idea of tackling Ayia Napa's reputation as a place of cheap tourism by opening a sculpture park. Ever since, sculptors from various parts of the world have brought their art work to be exhibited in this open air sculpture park. Some objects, like this statue of Poseidon/Neptune, are in dialogue with ancient Greek mythology, others are not and others again are fully abstract. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35.
