I scouted this location for my moonrise images (see previous posts) but having determined the angle of the moon using an online tool I realised this spot wasn't going to work... That said, a blue hour shot was well in order. You're actually looking from County Mayo, Ireland across an unseen river to the Friary, which is in County Galway. In processing this, I was reminded of Ansel Adams' most famous work, 'Moonrise Hernandez' and so I've tried to make this a tribute to the master's style, limiting myself to digital dodge and burn techniques, and keeping the digital noise to substitute for actual film grain. Enjoy...

Female bird hits a window and dies,
her companion didn't left her side for hours,not even when he was touched
Death
The pain of a loss in the view of birds :
It happened in a square in Japan
It is not known how the bird died.
It (he) was there on the asphalt, inert, lifeless.
According to the photographer,
another bird remained near to the lifeless bird for hours.
Calling his companion,
she jumped from branch to branch
without fearing who approached,
inclusively without fearing the photographer
that placed himself very close.
She sang in a sad tone
she flew to the inert little body
landed as if to lift it
and took flight to a nearby garden.
The photographer undertood the bird
and did as she wanted.
Only then the bird took flight
and with her all the flock.
The photos show the sequence of the facts
and the beauty of feelings in the animal realm.
A matter of love and affection.
According to the account of witnesses
dozens of birds, before leaving
flew over the dead fellow little body.
The pictures show how much truth and generosity
existed at that time of grief and respect
A cry of pain and grief
That bird that made all the farewell ceremony,
when the folk was already high,
unexpectedly returned to the inert body on the floor and,
in a cry of rejection of death
tries again to call the companion to life.
Desperately, but with love and care
she says goodbye to her companion
revealing her pain feeling.

She didn't like the piece of straw he brought back so she dropped it and flew off to get another. Bluebirds at Wehr Nature Center in Franklin, Wisconsin.
I posted a shot of this owl while she was incubating; last weekend I checked the nest again and was happy to see two little fuzzball chicks.
The two adult owls are not habituated; they don't like people. I managed only five shots before his one flew off the nest, after which I left. I've been hoping she would get used to my car, but... nope!
This is so rare, to be able to shoot a Great Horned Owl nest at eye level from my vehicle on a lonely rural backroad. In fact, it's a first for me. As a species, these owls are quite adaptable: they frequently occupy old barns, sheds, and abandoned houses, and often accept human proximity. I kind of admire this individual for choosing the most remote location possible, and I'm trying not to take the rejection personally :-)
Note some of the recent additions to this nest: a piece of bone, a non-owl feather, a fan belt... GH Owls are not known for their interest in home improvement, but obviously these birds are independent thinkers. In an owlish way...

when all seems white, colour
less, drab, and when the soul feels
barren,
find a way that is yours only. step
tentatively onto that path of grey,
pebbled with black and her murky
nuances. then rest, rest in all the drabness, the
monotony of fear. eyes, mind, ears tuned to
white. let the deep colours of winter
emerge on the screen, the fractal curtain
behind your eyelids. wait… anticipate
the astounding hues of the
continuum never found in our winterstate
of white rejection, our
flight
from it. listen for the rustling of newbirth at
the beyond edges paintsprayed with swatches of
birthing greens, reds, blues. do you hear the
meadowlark, the cardinal, the utterly beautiful
cry you’ve never heard. is it I, you will say…
and know… and the lavender, lilac, basil blends will
defy all before fragrances.
and as this thinplace, this
beautyspot, emerges, you will have found
the painted path home, pulling the alpha
and omega together. mark it with a
soulflag.
visit, embrace it with all trust when your time
comes.

▶ The Hotel Alcázar was built during the American Gilded Age in 1887, designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. It closed in 1932, but reopened in 1947 as the Lightner Museum.

👎 Rejections (tl/dr):
1) On 15 September 2025, the administrator for the "Courtyards – Patios - Porches" group rejected the image as NOT displaying a corridor in an outdoor courtyard."
2) As a two-fer on the same day...
The administrator for the Flickr group "Town Halls, City Halls, Guildhalls etc" rejected this photo for NOT displaying the city hall of St. Augustine — in effect denying the 1969 plebiscite of the citizens of the city.
The following day, they responded: "The rejection was an honest mistake on my part. I don't think there was any need to post a diatribe against me on the photo page. A little unfair before you received a response to your enquiry. Never mind - that's your decision."
3) And, for the trifecta...
On 18 September 2025, the administrator for the "LIGHT Fixture(s)" group rejected the image for NOT displaying light fixtures.
Their response [grammar, punctuation, and spelling displayed as written]:
"Your image, does not portray a LIGHT FIXTURE, as the main subject. Need I say more?
Nor is it a 'corridor' Thomas, another Group that hurt your feelings by rejecting it. (By the way, the term for an 'exterior hallway' is either a Loggia or Gallery, or even a passageway. peristyle or Exterior Hallway.)
Look through the Group, please, and note how uniformely edited it appears. Not by random choice, nor by 'some guy', either."

Una parata stanca, dietro le quinte del Giappone.
Dietro ogni vetrina impeccabile, ogni ramen bar illuminato e ogni cortesia rituale, esiste un retroscena sfilacciato e polveroso. Qui le bandierine scolorite sembrano voler ancora celebrare qualcosa, come soldati rimasti a sventolare la resa in una guerra finita da tempo. Il cartello ammonisce duramente: "Vietato l’accesso. Niente foto." È un rifiuto, una difesa. Questo è il Giappone che non vuole essere visto, ma che esiste – ed è proprio qui che la sua bellezza si fa più umana.
È lo spettro del dietro le quinte, dove anche la compostezza orientale si sgualcisce. Dove il folklore si attorciglia tra fili elettrici, umidità e avvisi arrabbiati.
日本の舞台裏にある、疲れたパレード。
完璧なウィンドウ、輝くラーメン屋、礼儀正しい挨拶——その裏には、ほこりをかぶり、ほころびた現実がある。色あせた旗がまだ何かを祝おうと頑張っているが、それはまるで、終わった戦争の後に残った兵士たちのようだ。
貼り紙は冷たく命じる：「関係者以外立入禁止、撮影禁止。」これは拒絶であり、防御でもある。
ここは「見せたくない日本」だが、だからこそ最も人間らしい美しさが顔を出す場所でもある。
伝統が絡まる電線と錆の中で、舞台裏の幽霊が静かに息をしている。
A tired parade behind Japan’s perfect stage.
Behind every perfect window display, every glowing ramen stall and every ritual courtesy, there’s a frayed, dusty backstage. Here, the faded pennants still try to celebrate something—like soldiers waving after the war is long over. The sign barks a harsh warning: "No entry. No photos." It's a rejection, a shield.
This is the Japan that doesn’t want to be seen, yet it’s exactly where its truest, most human side emerges.
This is the backstage ghost, where even the fabled order unravels, and tradition curls between rust, tangled wires, and frustrated warnings.
After an attempted landing amongst the terns and skimmers and finding himself rejected, a Great Egret takes off to find his own way.
This is "Light's Vision” - a statue on Montefiore Hill in North Adelaide to commemorate Colonel William Light's role in founding and designing the city of Adelaide as the capital of South Australian
Colonel William Light was a British military officer and the first Surveyor-General of the Colony of South Australia. He is famous for choosing the site of the colony's capital, Adelaide, and for designing the layout of its streets and parks – in the Adelaide city centre and the Adelaide Park Lands.
The Adelaide city centre was planned by Light in a grid fashion. One of the reasons he chose the location was because clouds drifting over the nearby Adelaide Hills would provide rainfall. This was a promising indicator of good conditions for agriculture. Another was that the location was adjacent to the perennial creek grandly named the River Torrens; the available supply of fresh water was a problem throughout the new colony, and had resulted in the rejection of, or relocation of, settlement sites on Kangaroo Island, Port Lincoln and Holdfast Bay.
When Light was designing Adelaide, his plans included surrounding the city with 1,700 acres of parklands which still exist today. His idea was to provide clean fresh air throughout Adelaide.
The statue has him pointing to the City of Adelaide below. Somewhat ironically, the view from the statue has been blocked by the new (and very impressive) Adelaide Oval

☞ On 19 March 2025, the administrator of "Telephoto Landscapes" rejected this image for NOT depicting a "Landscape shot with a long focal length." Really? I could not disagree more.
☞ On 22 March 2025, a moderator for the Flickr group "GEORGIA, THE PEACH STATE" rejected this photo for NOT displaying "scenic beauty of the State of Georgia, USA." It isn't easy to fathom any reasonable rationale other than petty animus.

You’re not scared of the dark,
You’re scared of what's in it.
You’re not afraid of heights,
You’re afraid of pain of falling.
You’re not afraid of people around you,
You’re just afraid of rejection.
You’re not afraid to love
You’re just afraid of not being loved back.
And you're not afraid to try again
You’re just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

Living on the edge - In our defence.
Although I grew up in a working class area of a big city I find myself drawn to photograph the the coast and the junction of land, sea and sky. Mankind has been part of this landscape for thousands of years and we are now as much a part of it as the waves.
I love the coastline but I find the sea defences at Sheringham, Norfolk quite harsh and brutal in appearance. Rather than a love of the sea it appears almost a rejection of it.

Trinity - in Christianity, three Persons of one God in essence. Despite monotheism, Christianity in its central dogma understands God as one in three hypostases (faces): God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The term "Trinity" was first attested by the Syrian bishop Theophilus of Antioch (2nd century).
The term "Trinity" is absent from the texts of the books of the Old and New Testaments; the Church's teaching on the Trinity is the fruit of Christology, that is, the teaching about Jesus Christ as the God-man, and appears in the works of the Holy Fathers and Teachers of the Church. The term "Trinity" was first used in Christian theology in the 2nd century by Saint Theophilus of Antioch in his work "Against Autolycus". By the middle of the 4th century, after the rejection of a number of heresies and thanks to the works of the Cappadocian Fathers Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, Gregory of Nyssa, the Church had developed a unified Trinitarian terminology.
Трійця - у християнстві три Особи єдиного по суті Бога. Незважаючи на монотеїзм, християнство у своєму центральному догматі розуміє Бога єдиним у трьох іпостасях (ликах): Бог Отець, Бог Син і Бог Дух Святий. Вперше термін «Трійця» засвідчений у сирійського єпископа Феофіла Антіохійського (ІІ століття).
Термін «Трійця» відсутнїй у текстах книг Старого та Нового Завітів; вчення Церкви про Трійцю є плід христології, тобто вчення про Ісуса Христа як Боголюдину, і з'являється у працях святих Отців і Вчителів Церкви.
Вперше у християнському богослов'ї термін «Трійця» вжив у II столітті святий Феофіл Антіохійський у своєму творі «Проти Автолика». До середини IV століття, після заперечення низки єресей і завдяки працям отців-каппадокійців Василя Великого, Григорія Богослова, Григорія Ніського, Церквою було вироблено єдину тринітарну термінологію.
Chartreuse du Reposoir, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
La Chartreuse du Reposoir es una antigua cartuja situada en el territorio del municipio del mismo nombre, en el departamento de Alta Saboya, en la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes.
Situado en el valle del Foron du Reposoir, en un circo boscoso al borde de un pequeño lago, los edificios que bordean el río están dominados por la cadena Reposoir al este y la cadena Bargy al noroeste. El establecimiento fue fundado en 1151 por el Beato Cartujo Juan de España y estuvo ocupado ininterrumpidamente hasta la Revolución Francesa y luego entre 1866 y 1901. La antigua Cartuja alberga una comunidad de monjas carmelitas desde 1932 y hoy se llama Monasterio del Carmelo de Reposoir. La Chartreuse está clasificada como monumento histórico.
La cartuja forma una plaza orientada de oeste a este, y reúne en su recinto lo que originalmente se llamaba la Correrie que estaba separada del monasterio.
El gran claustro rodea todas las casas de los Padres Cartujos; sus bóvedas en forma de silbato penetran los muros sin apoyo. Así llega cada monje a su casa. Las celdas de los Padres constituyen el cuadrado al norte y al sur y lo completan al este. El muro del cerramiento conecta los del norte entre sí; al sur y al este, se desprenden de él. Al pie de cada uno hay un parterre de flores de forma cuadrada. En la pared de enfrente está fijada una gran cruz negra, que el cenobita ve necesariamente cuando mira hacia afuera.
Las celdas se indican con una letra del alfabeto. Al lado de la puerta hay un pequeño portillo donde el solitario viene a recoger sus provisiones. Si necesita otras cosas, sólo tiene que dejar allí una nota con la letra de su celular. La cama tiene forma de armario, la ropa de cama se compone de un gran palet de lona, un almohadón, sábanas y unas cuantas mantas de lana que sustituyen a las de antaño. Junto al lecho se encuentra el oratorio, formado por una sillería y un reclinatorio, donde el monje recita la mayor parte de los servicios.
Al oeste de este claustro se encuentran la iglesia, la sala capitular y el pequeño claustro que data del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1929. Su construcción se atribuye a la generosidad de la Casa de Saboya cuyas armas aparecen entre las dieciséis claves policromadas. Este claustro está formado por cuatro galerías cubiertas que rodean un patio. Cada arcada de arco apuntado que da al patio se subdivide en una red de tres pequeños arcos polibados y tracería flamígera. Los grandes pilares cuadrados, la prohibición sistemática de la decoración escultórica y el rechazo de la vertical dan a este edificio del gótico tardío un aspecto achaparrado, pesado y austero. Las bóvedas de crucería, características de la arquitectura gótica, se basan en dos arcos apuntados que se cruzan en diagonal. Estas bóvedas y arcos están formados por claves, piedras talladas en forma de cuñas, apoyadas unas sobre otras. La clave es la llave central colocada en lo alto de una bóveda y que bloquea las demás piedras en la posición deseada.
La iglesia, cuya primera piedra fue colocada por Aymon I de Faucigny, hermano de Ardutius de Faucigny, obispo de Ginebra, es de estilo ojival. A lo largo del muro norte de la iglesia se encuentran la Capilla del Beato Juan de España (ahora sacristía interior) y la Capilla de San Antonio (hoy sacristía exterior para sacerdotes).
The Chartreuse du Reposoir is a former charterhouse located on the territory of the municipality of the same name, in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Located in the valley of the Foron du Reposoir, in a wooded cirque on the edge of a small lake, the buildings bordering the river are dominated by the Reposoir chain to the east and the Bargy chain to the northwest. The establishment was founded in 1151 by the Blessed Carthusian John of Spain and was occupied continuously until the French Revolution and then between 1866 and 1901. The former Carthusian has housed a community of Carmelite nuns since 1932 and today is called the Monastery of the Carmel of Reposoir. La Chartreuse is classified as a historical monument.
The charterhouse forms a square oriented from west to east, and brings together in its enclosure what was originally called the Correrie, which was separated from the monastery.
The great cloister surrounds all the houses of the Carthusian Fathers; Its whistle-shaped vaults penetrate the walls without support. This is how each monk arrives at his house. The cells of the Fathers constitute the square to the north and south and complete it to the east. The enclosure wall connects the northern ones to each other; to the south and east, they detach themselves from it. At the foot of each one is a square flower bed. On the opposite wall is fixed a large black cross, which the Cenobite necessarily sees when he looks out.
Cells are indicated by a letter of the alphabet. Next to the door there is a small gate where the loner comes to collect his supplies. If he needs other things, he just has to leave a note there with the handwriting on his cell phone. The bed is shaped like a wardrobe, the bedding consists of a large canvas pallet, a pillow, sheets and a few wool blankets that replace those of yesteryear. Next to the bed is the oratory, made up of a chair and a kneeler, where the monk recites most of the services.
To the west of this cloister are the church, the chapter house and the small cloister dating from the 16th century and restored in 1929. Its construction is attributed to the generosity of the House of Savoy whose arms appear among the sixteen polychrome keys. This cloister is made up of four covered galleries that surround a patio. Each pointed arch arcade facing the courtyard is subdivided into a network of three small polybate arches and flamboyant tracery. The large square pillars, the systematic prohibition of sculptural decoration and the rejection of the vertical give this late Gothic building a squat, heavy and austere appearance. The cross vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture, are based on two pointed arches that intersect diagonally. These vaults and arches are formed by keystones, stones carved in the shape of wedges, resting on each other. The key is the central key placed at the top of a vault and which locks the other stones in the desired position.
The church, whose foundation stone was laid by Aymon I de Faucigny, brother of Ardutius de Faucigny, bishop of Geneva, is in the ogival style. Along the north wall of the church are the Chapel of Blessed John of Spain (now the interior sacristy) and the Chapel of Saint Anthony (today the exterior sacristy for priests).
“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”

Tutti dicono che l'amore fa male, ma non è vero. La solitudine fa male. Il rifiuto fa male. Perdere qualcuno fa male. Tutti confondono queste cose con l'amore, ma in realtà, l'amore è l'unica cosa in questo mondo che copre tutto il dolore e ci fa sentire ancora meravigliosi.

“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,
I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,
I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,
I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,
I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”

“A Backwards Attitude” acknowledges a post-digital and enlightenment age where information is everywhere and the correct course of action is clear, but an attitude of rejection thwarts it.
This sculpture represents a pivotal point in technology, its effects on our lives, and our need to recognise that. The work asserts that the entire world is available for digital consumption.

A museum of a special kind, thanks to Düsseldorf's ingenious urban planning and special engineering achievements.
Normally, a main road, usually with more than two lanes, cuts off the city center from the riverbank.
Düsseldorf built a Rhine bank tunnel and simply put the cars underground and voila, the old town is connected to the banks of the Rhine on foot.
At first, most citizens react to something new with rejection. After all, the paving of the riverside promenade had a wave pattern and people thought they would get seasick walking on it.
But the real "miracle" takes place underground. There are several tunnel tubes for road traffic and a museum, the KIT (Art in the Tunnel), has been created in between.
However, this challenge would have been too small. Between the traffic tunnel tubes and the museum tunnel, the river Düssel is also led into the Rhine via a canal.
The museum has the advantage that there is only one person at the cash desk and only one supervisor for the museum. He can't keep an eye on everything.
When I saw the artwork with the red carpet, I had an idea that Sylvia had already tried out at another location.
My daughter has a friend who has a soft spot for high heels. One day she stomped into the museum next to me .

Ein Museum der besonderen Art, dank Düsseldorfs genialem Städtebau und besonderer Ingenieurleistung.
Normalerweise schneidet eine Hauptverkehrsstraße, meist noch mit mehr als zwei Spuren, die Stadtmitte vom Flussufer ab.
Düsseldorf baute einen Rheinufertunnel und brachte die Autos einfach unter die Erde und Voila, die Altstadt ist fußläufig mit dem Rheinufer verbunden.
Zunächst reagieren meist die meisten Bürger auf Neues mit Ablehnung. Hatte doch die Pflasterung der Uferpromenade ein Wellenmuster und die Leute meinten beim Begehen seekrank zu werden.
Aber das eigentliche "Wunder" findet unter der Erde statt.
Denn dort gibt es mehrere Tunnelröhren für den Straßenverkehr und dazwischen wurde noch ein Museum erstellt, das KIT (Kunst im Tunnel).
Jedoch wäre diese Herausforderung noch zu gering gewesen. Zwischen den Verkehrstunnelröhren und dem Museumstunnel wird auch noch der Fluss Düssel, via einer Kanalröhre in den Rhein geführt.
Das Museum hat den Vorteil, dass nur eine Person an der Kasse sitzt und nur ein Aufseher für das Museum gestellt wird.
Der kann nicht allerorts aufpassen.
Als ich das Kunstwerk mit dem roten Teppich sah, kam mir eine Idee, die Sylvia auch schon an einem anderen Ort ausprobiert hatte.
Meine Tochter hat eine Freundin, die ein Faible für High Hells hat. Und so stöckelte sie eines Tages, neben mir, ins Museum.
Ist diese Geschichte wahr, werden sich jetzt einige fragen. Was soll ich sagen? Es ist eben Dichtung und Wahrheit ...

3/4 : pelote de réjection
Elle est désormais bien dégagée au fond du bec pour être évacuée.

It is now clear at the bottom of the beak to be evacuated.

Once their chicks are old enough the mother may decide (like other birds) to say goodby and create independence of the youngsters.
This image shows how the mother forces the chick under water. The purpose of this rather violent action is to let the chick understand it is time to leave. What I don't understand is why she let the other chick stay until fully grown up.

Day 12 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes.
Definitely Maybe is the debut studio album by the English band Oasis, released by Creation Records on 29 August 1994.
It was an immediate commercial and critical success in the United Kingdom, having followed on the heels of the singles "Supersonic", "Shakermaker", and the UK top-ten hit "Live Forever", which was also a success on US Rock Airplay. The album went on to sell over 8.5 million copies worldwide and brought widespread critical acclaim. It went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart and became the fastest-selling debut album in the UK at the time; it went on to be certified 8× platinum by the BPI for sales of over 2.4 million units.[5] It also was successful in the United States, being certified platinum.
The album helped to spur a revitalisation in British pop music in the 1990s, and was embraced by critics for its optimistic themes and rejection of the negative outlook of much of the grunge music of the time. The album is regarded as a seminal entry of the Britpop scene, and has appeared in many publications' lists of the greatest albums of all time.
Happy 29th anniversary, Definitely Maybe!
