(81/365) It was a very cold day yesterday with a biting wind. Usually there are logs stacked beside our stove but the wood is all gone now so we're burning coal. When the sack is empty I refuse to light any more fires. Mind over matter - it's Spring, the weather will get warmer. Seeing this photo reminds me I must brush the hearth!

🇩🇪 Anastasius der Perser oder St. Anastasius war ein persischer Soldat, der zum Christentum konvertierte, Mönch wurde und am 22. Januar 628 als Märtyrer starb. Sein Vater war Zauberer.

Im Jahr 614 zogen seine Soldaten nach Jerusalem, wo Magundat den christlichen Glauben kennenlernte, seine militärische Laufbahn aufgab, sich bekehrte und taufen ließ. Er predigte den Persern und forderte sie vergeblich auf, sich zu bekehren und ihrer Magie abzuschwören.König Khosro II. ließ ihn in Ketten legen und in einem Steinbruch arbeiten.Mehrmals weigerte er sich, seinen Glauben zu verleugnen. Schließlich wurde er mit 72 weiteren Gefährten enthauptet.

Legends are an important part of the tourist trade in a ghost town. As I was photographing this house undergoing renovation in Virginia City, MT, a man passing by told me the house used to belong to a woman whose husband was hanged by the Vigilantes. She was so upset that she refused to bury the body in the local cemetery. So she preserved her husband in alcohol in the bathtub until spring when she shipped him off to be buried elsewhere.
I suspect the man is the owner and that he plans to rent the house via Airbnb. A little bit of hyperbole will enable better rates. Many of the old houses in town are available via Airbnb but I bet none of the others have as interesting a legend as this one!
Herring Gull / larus argentatus. Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk. 10/10/22.
Captured whilst in deep concentration!
One of several Herring Gulls swimming on the incoming tide and looking for food. The tidal creek seems to be a much favoured spot for them to catch crabs, though sadly, not that day.

The Zhinvali Reservoir, also known as the Jinvali Reservoir, is a beautiful artificial lake in Georgia. It is located in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, about 70 kilometers north of the capital Tbilisi. This reservoir is a popular tourist destination due to its beautiful turquoise waters and picturesque surroundings of mountains and forests. The Zhinvali Reservoir was created in 1985 by the construction of the Zhinvali Dam on the Aragvi River. The main purpose of the dam and reservoir is to supply Tbilisi with drinking water, electricity production and irrigation. The dam is 102 meters high and is an essential part of Georgia's energy and water infrastructure. The area around the reservoir is characterized by a breathtaking landscape of green hills and high mountains. The water itself has a striking blue or turquoise hue, depending on the light and the season. In the vicinity of the lake you can spot wildlife and enjoy hiking trails that lead through the beautiful nature. On the shores of the lake lies the famous Ananuri Fortress, a historical site dating back to the 16th-17th centuries. The fortress not only offers an insight into Georgian history, but also a beautiful view of the lake. Within the Ananuri complex is a well-preserved church with impressive stone carvings and frescoes. Ananuri is recognized as an UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its cultural and historical significance. It is an ideal place for photography, picnics and relaxing in nature, making it a must-see destination for travelers in Georgia.
The Ananuri Fortress is a historical complex in Georgia, located on the banks of the Zhinvali Reservoir, about 70 kilometers north of Tbilisi. There is an interesting legend about the origin of the name of the fortress, which has been passed down through the centuries in different versions, but with the same core. The legend tells of a siege of the fortress of Ananuri, during which the enemy soldiers surrounded the fortress and waited for the inhabitants to become exhausted from a lack of resources. Despite the long duration, the inhabitants showed no sign of surrender. What the invaders did not know was that the fortress was connected to the Aragvi River by a secret tunnel, which allowed them to escape and fish. After some time, the enemies discovered this and began to search for the entrance to the tunnel, but in vain. One day, they found a girl named Ana outside the fortress and tried to force her to reveal the location of the tunnel. Ana refused and was tortured and killed. In the end, the inhabitants of Ananuri won the battle, and in memory of Ana they named the fortress after her. Ana came from Nuri, a nearby village, which explains the name "Ananuri".
Het Zhinvali-reservoir, ook wel bekend als het Jinvali-reservoir, is een prachtig kunstmatig meer in Georgië. Het bevindt zich in de regio Mtskheta-Mtianeti, ongeveer 70 kilometer ten noorden van de hoofdstad Tbilisi. Dit stuwmeer is een populaire toeristische bestemming vanwege zijn schitterende turquoise wateren en de schilderachtige omgeving van bergen en bossen. Het Zhinvali-reservoir werd in 1985 aangelegd door de bouw van de Zhinvali-dam op de rivier de Aragvi. Het belangrijkste doel van de dam en het reservoir is het leveren van drinkwater aan Tbilisi, elektriciteitsproductie en irrigatie. De dam is 102 meter hoog en vormt een essentieel onderdeel van de energie- en waterinfrastructuur van Georgië. Het gebied rond het reservoir wordt gekenmerkt door een adembenemend landschap van groene heuvels en hoge bergen. Het water zelf heeft een opvallende blauwe of turquoise tint, afhankelijk van de lichtval en het seizoen. In de buurt van het meer kun je wilde dieren spotten en genieten van wandelpaden die door de prachtige natuur lopen. Aan de oevers van het meer ligt het beroemde Ananuri-fort, een historische plek die dateert uit de 16e-17e eeuw. Het fort, dat een van de meest bezochte bezienswaardigheden van het land is, biedt niet alleen een fascinerende inkijk in de Georgische geschiedenis, maar ook een prachtig uitzicht op het omliggende landschap. Het fort diende als de residentie van de Aragvi-hertogen, een machtige dynastie in Georgië. Het complex speelde een belangrijke rol in de verdediging van de regio tegen invallen en oorlogen. Het complex bestaat uit meerdere verdedigingsstructuren, zoals torens, kerken en muren, die strategisch waren geplaatst om aanvallen te weerstaan. Er is een interessante legende over de oorsprong van de naam van het fort, die in verschillende versies door de eeuwen heen is doorgegeven, maar met eenzelfde kern. De legende gaat over een belegering van het fort van Ananuri, waarbij de vijandige soldaten het fort omsingelden en wachtten tot de inwoners uitgeput zouden raken door een gebrek aan middelen. Ondanks de lange tijdsduur gaven de bewoners geen teken van overgave. Wat de indringers niet wisten, was dat het fort via een geheime tunnel verbonden was met de rivier de Aragvi, waarmee ze konden ontsnappen en vissen. Na enige tijd ontdekten de vijanden dit en begonnen ze te zoeken naar de ingang van de tunnel, maar tevergeefs. Op een dag vonden ze een meisje, genaamd Ana, buiten het fort en probeerden haar te dwingen de locatie van de tunnel te onthullen. Ana weigerde en werd gemarteld en gedood. Uiteindelijk wonnen de bewoners van Ananuri de strijd, en ter herinnering aan Ana noemden ze het fort naar haar. Ana kwam uit Nuri, een nabijgelegen dorp, wat de naam "Ananuri" verklaart.
it will have to make itself clear :-)

Fossie refused to come inside and have her introductory portrait taken like the rest of the girls. She said if you want my image then you come to me.
Fossie has an extensive wardrobe of lovely frilly, pretty, silky and stylish outfits but she just always insists on wearing her *work cloths*.
Fossie carries a signed photograph of Steve Irwin in her breast pocket and only eats organic foods - mostly nuts and legumes.
I think that sums Fossie up.
We have big changes in our lives coming up but thought I would drop in as today marks my last day as a waste manager at Adur and Worthing Councils after 20 years local government service. It's been an emotional week but new adventures await. I shall be back in the next few weeks to tell you all about them and hopefully I will be in a position to resume posting regularly once again

I cannot say this enough. Some folks just don't seem to be getting it. They gather in crowds to watch a hospital ship dock. They gather to worship. They gather to get drunk, party and get laid. Governments refuse to enact enforceable curfews, quarantines and closings out of greed self interest and fear. People laugh together in the laundromat and they ignore the danger in the big box stores. Stay at home. So many people, especially the young generation, whatever generation they are called today, purport to care about society. Here is the new reality we are in.
The overwhelming of hospitals in NYC will soon be the reality across our nation. Without nurses and doctors our hospitals will not only be overwhelmed, but health care, and hope itself will die with the workers sacrificing their lives inside. The ability to obtain ready food and basic goods for survival will die along with the truckers and grocery workers.
It needs to be said. If you leave home for any reason, cover your face and maintain social distancing. And if you leave for unnecessary purposes you are an ignorant ass, a scoundrel, and you should be held in the vilest contempt by your neighbor. You, YOU are putting everyone at risk when you make these stupid decisions. The ONLY way we have to fight this disease on a broad scale is by impeding it's ability to spread. And it's ability to spread is being found to be far more insidious than previously thought.
They call it the invisible enemy. They like to talk in metaphors because the reality is much to stark. We need to stop that. This virus is death. A personal death. A lonely death. And if you survive long enough, the death of everything around you. The death of our society and our civilization. It kills indiscriminately, and it does not care. It will not go away on it's own. Think mass graves and a total breakdown of the institutions that support civilization as we know it. This disease has the ability to become apocalyptic if we as a society make the wrong choices,.
And our way of staving that off and possibly arriving at a vaccine in a few months is so simple. Stay the fuck at home. If you must get out to get essential goods, maintain social distancing and hinder it's potential to spread. But think..... Every time, any time you leave your little isolated pod of safety you run the risk of introducing this pathogen into that pod. Through the food you eat, through the clothes you wear.
We are a large, complex and interconnected society. That fact has the potential to help us or kill us. It is not difficult to Skype and Zoom with your friends and watch television from your sofa. And the consequences are far to dire to ignore that.
Do you think you can survive alone?
When there is no more law enforcement there will be lawlessness.
When there are no more firefighters, you will burn.
When there are no more utility workers you will not have electricity or water or sanitary sewerage.
When there are no more funeral workers there will be mass graves and finally bodies left to rot in place.
And when there are no more health care workers, you will die.
Do you know how to effectively use a gun? Do you have ammunition? Can you stop a fire from consuming your home? Do you have the tools, skills and knowledge to maintain electric and water service on a large scale? Or even repair a pipe or patch a wire in your home? Just how independent are you? Have you ever grown a garden? Butchered and consumed a dog? Do you have the basic medical and scientific knowledge to repair your broken body and prevent it from becoming infected? Do you know how to run a ventilator? How to intubate the dying? Which drug to give for what symptom? And do you have the scientific knowledge and facilities to independently develop a vaccine?
No. You do not. No one person possesses all this knowledge and ability. When the people who do these things for you are dead, those talents and expertise die with them. Our society is far to interconnected for any of us to survive alone. But our interconnectivity is also our strength as we isolate and mitigate the spread of this pandemic that has the ability to destroy mankind. Our interconnectivity makes it easy to stay in touch, console our friends and ourselves, gain vital information, and fight this killer. True, factual and prompt information is key. Wars are not won on brute force. They are won by intelligence and tactics. And our society is at war. Make no mistake about it.
This virus does not care. It cannot be frightened. It is the perfect killer. And it will slowly kill us all if our society does not survive long enough to develop a vaccine. That is our reality.

Tetrix undulata I think, but it refused to come out & show itself any more than this, then dived into the bottom of the grass & was gone.

I don't see these, very common, Dragonflies very often. They simply refused to give me a natural setting but enjoyed the shelter from the breeze and extra heat from the boardwalk handrails.

*Booty's Beauty*:
Mavis Henslow was a woman of exceptional lineage, descended from a long line of noteworthy individuals. Her 25th great-great grandfather was none other than the renowned English theatre proprietor and manager of the Elizabethan Age, Philip Henslowe. Such a heritage bestowed upon Mavis a connection to the arts and the power of expression.
Despite her impressive lineage, Mavis faced societal limitations as a woman in her time. Born into an era when gender roles were rigidly defined, she encountered numerous obstacles that restricted her aspirations. However, Mavis possessed an unwavering spirit that refused to be stifled by these constraints.
Mavis received her education from a dedicated governess who recognised her thirst for knowledge and the innate intelligence that resided within her. Through the governess's guidance, Mavis embarked on a journey of learning and self-discovery, delving into various subjects that ignited her curiosity.
As Mavis grew older, she discovered her gift for healing and became fascinated by spiritualism. Her studies and experiences led her to develop profound abilities in these realms, transcending the boundaries of traditional understanding. Mavis could perceive energies, offer solace to those in pain, and provide comfort to the spiritually seeking.
With her remarkable abilities, Mavis had the potential to become a world-renowned figure in the field of healing and spiritualism. Yet, she chose a different path, one that was characterised by privacy and humility. Mavis shunned the allure of fame and the accompanying public adulation, preferring instead to focus on her purpose, helping others without seeking personal acclaim.
Throughout her life, Mavis dedicated herself to aiding those in need, utilising her healing talents and spiritual insights to bring solace and enlightenment to countless individuals. Her gentle demeanour, compassionate nature, and profound wisdom made her a cherished figure within her community.
While Mavis's contributions to the world may not have garnered global recognition, the lives she touched, the souls she healed, and the minds she inspired were immeasurable. She left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Mavis's extraordinary journey serves as a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and selflessness. Despite the limitations placed upon her by society, she overcame obstacles and harnessed her unique gifts for the betterment of others. Mavis, an extraordinary woman, showed the world that true greatness lies not in fame or accolades but in the profound impact one has on the lives of those around them.

Small-headed blind snake found in Muttaburra, central QLD. Interestingly this is the first blind snake that has curled into a "ball" after being disturbed and refused to "move along". All other blind snakes I've come across have been quite painful to photograph as they are constantly moving/burrowing.
Sometimes I'm stubborn and I refuse to use the flash :P
Blurryness is my well deserved punishement!
I wasn't going to upload this at first, but I really love the colours so there you have it :)
In the meantime I (slowly) started working on a little ambitious project, I hope I can finish it someday! The way I have it in my head now is pretty, hopefully the results will be pretty as well!
Again, I'm sorry for the huuuuge lack of photos here, I feel like I'm running low on inspiration and ideas
In fact, I don't think I'll ever catch up the pace I had in 2007
Hope you're all doing fine tho, I'm doing my best to check all your photostreams :)
Take care and enjoy the first rays of sunny warmth! :D

A small group of Clonetroopers refused to acknowledge Order 66. They helped their Jedi to escape into hiding. Here we see such an act. Day 1537 Y5D76
another one from my early morning puddle reflection sortie.
as I waited for an uninterrupted view on the street I heard the rumble of a truck moments before it came into view, I rallied to the challenge of tweeting the camera settings in just five or six seconds to capture the moving vehicle in the dawn light.
Rather than being an annoyance to the street it adds a Wonderfull feeling of reality to the early morning setting. The driver was most curtious and careful to avoid the puddle in which my camera was located, Thankyou.
The irony was that I crouched next to the bins which this truck was on its way to empty. I was subsequently able to relocate the bins and progress with my session with more of the puddle in view.
"Hâtez-vous lentement, et sans perdre courage,
Vingt fois sur le métier remettez votre ouvrage,
Polissez-le sans cesse, et le repolissez,
Ajoutez quelquefois, et souvent effacez".
Dans mon cas pour cette gare, ce n'est pas 20 fois mais plusieurs centaines de fois.
Contrairement à ce que l'on pense souvent, cette formule ne fait pas référence à l’Odyssée d’Homère, dans laquelle Pénélope, la fidélité personnifiée, refuse de reprendre époux malgré l’interminable absence de son mari Ulysse. Et qui, pour éloigner les prétendants, donne comme excuse, des années durant, jusqu'au retour d'Ulysse, la confection d’un large voile qu’elle se doit de terminer avant une éventuelle seconde noce. Mais démonte chaque nuit tout ce qu'elle a tissé durant la journée.
Il s'agit d'une citation de l'écrivain français Nicolas Boileau dit Boileau-Despréaux, extraite de "L’Art poétique", un poème didactique de onze cents alexandrins classiques paru en 1674, qui, à mon sens, garde toute son actualité, près de trois siècles et demi plus tard.
Appartenant au registre désuet, elle signifie : n'hésitez pas à travailler et retravailler inlassablement votre projet ou votre texte, à le peaufiner, à l'instar de l'artisan tisserand, qui ne cesse de remettre, autant de fois qu'il le faudra, son ouvrage (c'est à dire la pièce de tissu qu'il est en train de fabriquer) sur son métier à tisser.
"Make haste slowly, and without losing heart,
Twenty times on the loom hand over your work,
Polish it endlessly, and polish it again,
Add sometimes, and erase often".
In my case for this station, it's not 20 times but several hundred times.
Contrary to what is often thought, this formula does not refer to Homer's Odyssey, in which Penelope, fidelity personified, refuses to take a husband again despite the interminable absence of her husband Ulysses. And who, to ward off the suitors, gives as an excuse, for years, until the return of Ulysses, the making of a large veil that she must finish before a possible second wedding. But dismantles every night everything she has woven during the day.
This is a quote from the French writer Nicolas Boileau dit Boileau-Despréaux, taken from "L'Art poétique", a didactic poem of eleven hundred classic Alexandrians published in 1674, which, in my opinion, retains all its topicality, nearly three and a half centuries later.
Belonging to the obsolete register, it means: do not hesitate to work and tirelessly rework your project or your text, to refine it, like the artisan weaver, who does not cease to put back, as many times as he will need, his work (i.e. the piece of fabric he is making) on his loom.
