The reason for my thoroughly rewarding visit to Halifax in Yorkshire was to see its architectural masterpiece – the renowned Piece Hall. I’d heard about it over the years, but never seen it. And even on a chilly, dull, flat, rainy day, I wasn’t disappointed.
The Piece Hall is unique. It isn’t a hall at all, but a huge open square surrounded by 315 trading rooms over three storeys that are still in use today as cafés, boutiques, wine bars and souvenir shops.
It dates from 1779, when it was built for trading ‘pieces’ of cloth (a ‘piece’ being a 30-yard length of woven woollen fabric produced on a handloom). It’s the only building of its kind still standing anywhere in the world, and is one of the United Kingdom’s most outstanding Georgian buildings.
The main reason of existence for the yard of Clabecq is steel. NLMK is still active on site and Lineas brings in steel from Gent and La Louvière. Cow and calf Cockerill shunters take the heavy loads into the factory on 26/04/2021.
Good morning folks, the reason I'm posting this image is because I've never seen this kind of fish before here, besides it's nice to see the behavioral habits of species in the wild.
I watched him for quite some time and finally he came through for me. Thamk you as always for stopping by, and have a wonderful day.
This is evening on the 3rd day of my trip. I was upset that the moon was out all night because one of the main reasons I went on this outing was to capture the milky way at night through an arch in the alabama hills. It became obvious that wasn't going to happen, so I ended up experimenting with light painting and shooting some shots of the moon. This is a unique shot of the moon because it was rising in the east as the sun was setting in the west so I ended up with a sunset shot of the moon.

Possibly the only reason this chap was so relaxed was because I was behind my car and able to use the zoom lens and use said car as a rest to steady the camera.
This year has been a really bad one for me getting out and taking photos - covid has had a devastating impact as we have had to be so careful for others who relied on our well-being to be able to help them in the troubled times.
This was a carefully planned move to avoid everyone and get a bit of freedom for a change.

The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they're dancing and singing. As long as you're having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they're gonna feel that.

This was the reason I visited the Olympic Peninsula because I wanted to see these endemic Olympic Marmots. I had never seen them before and they did not disappoint. It was fun watching them and listening to them whistle. The hike up to see them was beautiful at 5.2Km long an elevation gain of 650Ft to the top of Hurricane Hill via Hurricane Ridge which sits at 5700Ft. At the top we had views of the Olympic Peninsula, The Strait of Juan de Fuca, Olympic Mountains and Victoria and Canada. The views of the Olympic Marmots and other wildlife and scenery was something special to see. I saw 6 Marmots on the hike and all of them were above 4000Ft. I saw adults and young and the young looked very different from the older ones as they had white faces and bellies. The one photographed here is an adult. I like their unique coat colour which has a lot of copper in it. It was fun to watch them sunning themselves on the rocks. I love his expression especially in this shot.
Olympic Marmots are endemic to the Olympic Peninsula and are not found anywhere else in the world. They are declining due to climate change and predation and have been intensely monitored since 2010. Olympic Marmots are the largest of all Marmots and show the greatest sexual dimorphism with the males being much larger than the females.
The Olympic marmot is the second-rarest North American marmot, behind the critically endangered Vancouver Island Marmot which I recently photographed.
This is the official endemic mammal of Washington State.
If I sing, "Walkies in the park, to the tune of "Walking in the air", for some reason Bertie goes ballistic. He LOVES the park.
There a multiple reasons why my camera has been collecting dust recently.
One of the more enjoyable explanations is that I started playing strategic board games.
Games we regularly play are:
Carcassone
Dominion
Ticket to Ride
Agricola
(and expansion sets for them all!)
I most often play them with one or both of my boys. My parents come over each week for a games night as well. And there are a couple of small groups that get together occasionally. I probably lose more than I win but it doesn't matter; I find all of them rewarding.
I did get out for an evening walk at Iona Regional Park on Thursday. Carried, but never used my tripod. But still snapped a few shots while wandering around for 3.5 hours of solitude and exercise. It felt good.
Reasons Why Your Pumpkin Isn’t Producing Fruit
There’s nothing more frustrating than watching your beautiful pumpkin plant produce gorgeous flowers but no plump orange gourds. Over and over, they flower with nothing to show for their work.
You want them to be ready in time for Halloween, or maybe for a fun dinner party where all your guests pick their own homegrown pumpkins to take home with them.
So what’s going on? How can you encourage your plants to produce fruit?

Another one from a while back...
My archive seems to have saved me through the cold and rainy season although the arrival of our Spring seems more like Winter now with cold fronts around us and more cold fronts approaching through the rest of the week and the weekend.
I'm still quite hectic but I've started to catch up (very, very slowly) with all my contacts' uploads.
I hope you're all having a great week. It's almost weekend!

I finally went swimming today. I used to swim everyday of the summer when I was a kid, and I don't know why I stopped. But I think I outta start again. Gotta unleash my inner mermaid ;)

Global warming makes even a drop of water absolutely crucial in nature! - I spent half a day in the olive groves this morning. For some reason the Caucasian squirrel seems to have disappeared. I see them around but they didn't give me a chance to get close today. Let's say it's an unlucky day. Maybe I should have gone earlier. I think it is certain that they went to rest after breakfast.
I wanted to share the story of this photo with you - This rare fountain in the olive grove caught my eye and I realized that it was dripping drop by drop. This water source had already gathered hundreds of wasps and different birds around it.
I hid behind a centuries-old olive tree in my camouflage and waited. Great Tit came many times and drank that drop of water. I believe one of them was Juvenile. In recent years, we have been facing extreme hot weather problems and we do not know what to do.
The great tit flaps its wings hundreds of times per second, just to drink a drop of water. The energy he lost is incredible. It is impossible not to be worried about the future of mother earth and nature life.
The two frames I shot at high speed were under the shade of centuries-old olive trees and the sunlight was in the opposite direction. I hope you like it.

is it for environment reasons of for reasons of heath and safety of the animals?

I have every reason to be happy...
I am privileged to live in PEACE !
How beautiful is that?
Ordinarily, flower-baskets are round and for hanging up...
Gathered all the cyclamens in one basket, I decided to photograph the whole scene instead of an 'isolated' few.I just love those colours...
The name Cyclamen is presumed to come from Greek 'kyclos', a circle referring to the round tubers, or leaves.

There's always a reason
Sometimes invisible
Always a reason, but sometimes
You can't see them
And the pain
Fell like rain
But it passed
And I opened up again
There's always a reason...
Just before the quiet time
When black of night becomes the sunrise
You are sure that it will never shine
I see it shining
There's always a reason...
For some reason I find this shot pleasing. Most of the wooden gates have
now been replaced with less attractive, but more durable, metal
replacements.
Perhaps it reflects myself at present - just been told missed out on a long
desired directorship to an external candidate!
"Nope, you can't have one. This is my last Pez candy and I am saving it as my last meal just in case the world ends."
In his element, this is Banquo. He is the primary reason for my understanding of Scott's grief.
Banquo was, well, put simply: impressive. Look at that gaze! He's scanning the hill, both form and function built into that mighty physique. A gentle giant, he could stand on this back legs, forepaws on my shoulders, and look me in the eye. One night as I came out of the dark, unannounced, his challenge curdled my blood — deeper, more resolute, more final than any I'd heard before, or since. It was nothing manic, it wasn't a threat. It was a promise.
He took that presence into the show ring where he was awarded again and again for his perfection. His career was short. He was a two speed dog! His fearless approach to life meant inevitably he was injured in ways that left him without his true gait. The show ring rewards conformational perfection; tested in trotting manoeuvres. And so, with his Champion Award banked early, he retired, still head of the pack, still at home on the hill, at home in driven sleet, fully engaged in his favourite fantasy of stags and hounds, keen as always — forever.
You've given me a reason
For smiling once again,
You've filled my life with peaceful dreams
and you've become my closest friend.
You've shared your heartfelt secrets
And your trust you've given me,
You showed me how to feel again
To laugh, and love, and see.
If life should end tomorrow
And from this world I should part,
I shall be forever young
For you have touched my heart ~♥~
Wishing you all a
Happy Valentine's Day
Hugs & Kisses ~♥~

The idea of posting this picture was given to me by another, more detailed image : www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51461264706
The photographer who took it did some serious research, which you can read under his/her wonderful macro shot.
However to make things simpler, here is what he/she says about the drop hanging under the Blow Fly mouth :
Turns out, researchers only discovered relatively recently why certain flies and other insects like to have a droplet of saliva (because that's what it actually is) hanging out their mouths, and it's for a really interesting and quite practical reason: they use that "spit bubble" to cool themselves.
Interesting, isn't it ? :)
A big thank you to Lacerta Bilineata for satisfying my endless curiosity :))
One of my reasons for going to Namibia has always been to see some of the most spectacular sand dunes in the world. Many of them are over 200m tall, with the tallest one being about 380m tall (it's sand...so it shifts and changes). Even though I'm not sure how tall this one is, it's tall enough to make those trees at the bottom look quite tiny in comparison.
The color of the dune is a bit more orange/reddish due to the iron in the sand, and the iron oxidizing. Much more attractive dunes than those plain ones in the Gobi (no offense, Mongolia).

Inspired by the one and only Phima', the reason I ever started posting on here in the first place. I doubt you'll ever see this but if you do, cheers.
As for the build itself, I've been meaning to build myself an updated Jeep for quite some time now, and by quite some time I mean just a wee bit under 4 years, haha. Now that I've finally gone and built one, I'm pretty darn happy with it. The front bar isn't perfect so I'll probably try a minor redesign in the next few days, as well as taking some pictures of it without the canvas top. I've come up with a neat little Browning design as well that I'd like to implement.
As always, c&c is welcome.
PS check out my YouTube Channel if you're into that kind o' stuff. Channel name Carpet Lego, you can find links in the picture I posted earlier.
Thanks!
Stupid crappy lighting. I had to take this picture in the BATHROOM, since there's no light in my room. Another reason I hate winter.
Hoverfly (I think)...
Left the 50mm at home and brought the 40mm macro lens with me today.

On Mam Tor looking for the usual reason, but I decided to try and get a different photo to the ones which we normally see. Okay – I did the gate and the great ridge, but on my way back I was looking for something different.
I didn’t get much in the way of an inversion, but there was a little mist in the valley which was producing a lovely haze in the low morning sun, catching the light beautifully. As I came to the earthworks at the lower end of the summit I came across this sheep who was not in the mood for getting up. She very kindly stayed put while I composed my shot giving me something nice for the foreground. As the background was hazy I chose to blur it slightly by using a longer focal length but with a relatively small aperture. It also allowed me to stay a reasonable distance from the sheep so I didn’t spook it.
Canon EOS-6D with 24-105mm lens at 90mm. f/11 at ISO-50 for 1/50th second. Lee 3 stop soft grad ND filter on the upper part of the image to keep the lovely colours in the top of the image.
One reason why I haven't sought out a vintage 85mm lens is that I sort of have one already.
This is an example of what my fairly old, (first offered for sale in 1992) Canon EF 85mm f1.8 lens can do. Normally it won't focus any closer than 85cm, but here I added 32mm of extension tubes and I'm able completely blow away any details in the background and turn it into a blur of soft pastel colors that just blend into each other.
Shot at f3.5, the in focus areas are still sharp. So I always ask myself, "Do I really need an expensive vintage, manual lens when I already own this 32 year old lens?"
Geology is the main reason Colorado National Monument was preserved. Here the canyon cliffs have been shaped across millions of years, and include rock layers that span billions of years. The sheer-walled canyons cut deep into sandstone and granite–gneiss–schist rock formations. This is an area of semi-desert land with juniper, piñon pine, cactus, sagebrush, and wildflowers that thrive in the desert. Mule deer, bighorn sheep, and coyotes inhabit the monument’s backcountry along with many birds and little creatures roaming the cliffs and canyons.
One Man's Dream
"I came here last year and found these canyons, and they felt like the heart of the world to me," John Otto wrote in 1907. "I'm going to stay . . . and promote this place, because it should be a national park." Some folks thought John Otto was crazy. He lived alone out in the wild and desolate canyon country southwest of Grand Junction, and he loved the land so much that he campaigned tirelessly for it to be set aside as a national park. Urged by Otto, the citizens of Grand Junction deluged politicians in Washington, D.C., with letters and petitions in support of the proposal. Meanwhile, Otto built miles of tortuous trails through the proposed park area so others could appreciate its beauty. And he did it all without hope of any person gain. But in May of 1911 Otto's dream came true; Colorado National Monument was established. Otto was rewarded by being named the park's caretaker, a job he gladly did until 1927 for $1 a month. ~ National Park Service ~
