Having seen its relation (previous picture) everywhere the last couple of weeks I was exploring a new part of one of my regular haunts, Harwood Forest when I came across some willows in a narrow valley which enabled you to stand above them and look into the tops.
This shiny metallic bronze moth was out on the top and is rarely seen because out of reach in the crown of willows is it’s preferred territory.
A cool wind also played in my favour as the sheltered top was nearest to me and the camera!
Die Relation Hamburg-Berlin ist seit ihrem Ausbau und der damit einhergehenden Ertüchtigung auf 230 km/h ein Stammgebiet der Baureihen 411 und 415. Zwar ist ein großer Teil der Leistung zwischen der Hanse und der Bundeshauptstadt zwischenzeitlich an andre Baureihen übergegangen, jedoch gingen die Leistungen Richtung Rostock an den ICE-T. Am 07.10.22 eilte 411 054 als ICE 1601 (Hamburg-Altona-München Hbf) bei Dersenow durch das Land
The cinema opened on 11 March 1911 as ‘the Electric Pavilion’. It was built by E.C. Homer and Lucas for Israel Davis, one of a noted family of cinema developers, and was one of England's earliest purpose-built cinemas, seating over 750 seats in the single auditorium. Like many cinemas of the period, it was fitted with an organ. It was seen as a 'scruffy relation' to the nearby Palladium, and was known as the 'flea pit'. Sound films began showing in 1929 (Wikipedia)

The Holnekoppell Chapel obviously predates the Ski jump, but there is a relation with..... hiking.
Holmenkollen Chapel was first built in 1903 after designs by architect Holger Sinding-Larsen as a panelled wooden pole construction. "Holmen og Voxenselskabet" was founded in 1880 for the acquisition and development of the area as a recreational area for locals. When the company disbanded in 1890, it gave one of its plots of c. 10,000 square meters (110,000 sq ft) to the municipality of Oslo to build a sports chapel.
Closely related to Holmenkollen Chapel was Fortidsminne-foreningen. This association was established in 1844 with several painters as initiators. It was primarily the painter Johan Christian Dahl who spoke in favour of a stave church design. The association was the birthplace of a young generation of Norwegian architects around the turn of the 20th century, reviving the tradition of Norwegian historic wooden architecture. They searched back to the early Middle Ages when Norway had its Golden Age. They emphasized identity and their own history, nature and architecture. Holmenkollen Chapel was a direct result of the young generation of architects' emerging awareness of this heritage.
From its opening in 1903, the building was used as a chapel. Only in 1913 was it dedicated to the use of church services and church ceremonies such as baptism, confirmation, marriage, funerals and sports services.
The chapel was intended as a facility for hikers who wanted to attend a Sunday service, even if they chose to go up to the heights for exercise and fresh air. Hiking in the woods was almost fashionable in the late 19th century.
Tourist hotels, restaurants, spas and sanatoriums were built in the area, making it a destination also for the growing population of the capital Christiania (now Oslo). Nature trails and roads led up the Holmenkollåsen (the hill at Holmenkollen).

Excerpt from www.cbc.ca/arts/a-kind-of-order-band-gallery-union-statio...:
A new public art exhibition is inviting commuters in Toronto’s busiest train station to slow down and reflect.
A Kind of Order is part of Union Station’s year-long commitment to promote BIPOC creatives and to accessible public art. Presented in partnership with BAND Gallery, the exhibition features four contemporary artists — three local, one international — whose collage art embodies themes of movement and transformation.
These words came to mind when Joséphine Denis, BAND’s Director of Curatorial Initiatives, thought of the type of art she’d like to see in a station like Union. “[Union Station] is a place of coming and going that promises beginnings and marks the ending of journeys and of relationships,” says Denis, “I take that train a lot and it's been a sort of symbolic meaning of a lot of things in my life… but it's also a marker of these very daily quotidian lifestyles and rhythms.”
The art is spread throughout the station, ensuring that commuters can engage with the art no matter where they’re headed, even if it’s just a passing glimpse. “This is not a white box where people come and sit and look, [we had to think about] what people are able to get out of just a glimpse… just walking and turning their head and seeing something.”
Excerpt from the plaque:
A Kind of Order, Cross Section by Timothy Yanick Hunter
Cross Section (2026) looks downward to the subsurface as a shared field of circulation, where what is treated as extractable keeps rerouting relations. Across six prints and a monitor, the image field is built from magnified soil, larvae, pebbles, and cropped fragments of scientific language. Halftone grain and visible seams make the surface feel reproduced, sampled, and reassembled, like knowledge that arrives in pieces. Pixelation suggests the work is constantly re-tuning its own frequency to the motion it tracks. The grain reads like recalibration: information coming into focus, slipping out again, brewing in motion rather than settling into certainty. What appears as life and death here is not an event but a remainder, the visible residue of cycles: metabolism, labour, decay, renewal. Rectangular insertions behave like core samples or windows of study, while page margins and white gaps read as a refusal of total access, a reminder that extraction can measure, classify, and remove, but it cannot take hold of the whole field.
Across the series, the ground is not a backdrop but a system: brood chambers, pebble collections, bundled cables, and clipped captions offering different languages for how matter is organized and made to travel. Timothy Yanick Hunter’s ongoing research treats migration as more than the movement of bodies. Migration appears as ongoing circulation: fragments carried forward, reassembled, and re-tuned, moving through archives, infrastructures, and informal networks of passage. Extending from projects first developed for exhibitions at Cooper Cole Gallery and Bradley Ertaskiran, Cross Section asks what becomes legible as “resource” and what kinds of relation keep gathering at the edges of extraction. It asks not simply what lies beneath, but who gets to name what is underneath, and what refuses to be given over to ownership, enclosure, or the “complete” account.
In relation to the previous posts, this is the former B&O station in Finleyville in July 2007. Looking east. Station was torn down on 1-14-2026.

I saw Alex in a park near city hall when I was on the way home from the university campus. He was doing some stretching exercises. I asked if I could take his picture, etc. He said sure and then started doing flips in the air. I then asked if I could get one of him standing still. The flips are in my 100Strangers set after this one.

The Rozewerf is a hamlet located on the Marken peninsula surrounded by water near Amsterdam. Rozewerf still got the original look of this ancient settlement which are still the characteristic and monumental buildings. It's really just on the dike that protects the water, once the Zuiderzee now the Markermeer. The area around Rozewerf was also regularly flooded after it came to be by the sea. Eventually a low dike was constructed leaving only skipped water at larger storms. From the dike has a magnificent view over the many mounds on Marken. Rozewerf, with the right 12 icebreakers which are derived from the 12 apostles. The twelve wooden icebreakers dating in construction in 1872. They are fan-shaped situated in relation to each other. The icebreakers have cultural and historical value because it authentic in appearance and become rare examples of de-icing facilities. Since the construction of the Dam there has been no more trouble. However, it has been affected by the drifting ice in the winter. The lighthouse 'Horse of Marken' stands on its own tiny island at the end of a narrow causeway and is almost completely surrounded by water, which makes its location so photogenic. Particularly in winter, when after a long period of frost during which the IJsselmeer was largely frozen over the thaw set in and the ice was starting to drift you could shoot spectacular pictures here. Fishermen went with a sliding carriage, fishing net, long stick and axe for ice fishing like their ancestors in Marken. Fishing for sparkling and flounder was a nice additional income in those days. It looks like fun but not without risk. In the old days fishermen felt with regularity in a ice-field hole and became super cooled or even drowned.
As temperatures plunge across Europe, many are cursing the cold. But not in the Netherlands. Many are hoping for further frigid conditions. Photo of the Rozewerf hamlet and lighthouse taken at Marken island. Ice fishermen walking on the ice-fields of the Gouwsea. Fishermen went with a sliding carriage, fishing net, long stick and axe for ice fishing like their ancestors in Marken. You first had to chop the thick ice. Long sticks with a net on them were then pushed into the hole to bring in the fish. These fish are baked which were nice and crispy. Fishing for sparkling and flounder was a nice additional income in those days. Looking out over the infinite sea of ice. I took this photo from the southern dike of Marken on 14th February 2021. One of the ice breaker and ice fishermen out of focus.
De Rozewerf is een buurtschap gelegen op het voormalig Marken. Rozewerf is van oorsprong een terp, dat een werf wordt genoemd. Deze terp is niet vernoemd naar de kleur maar meer dan waarschijnlijk naar de persoon of familie Roos of Rozen, die de eigenaar of aanlegger is geweest van de werf. Net als de andere ten noorden van Rozewerf gelegen werven stammen de meeste huizen uit de 18e en 19e eeuw. In de loop van de tijd zijn deze wel flink verbouwd. Rozewerf kent net als Grotewerf nog het meest oorspronkelijke uiterlijk van deze oude bewoning waardoor het nog de karakteristieke en monumentale panden heeft. De huizen van Rozewerf staan ook erg dicht op elkaar, er is smalle doorgang door het buurtschapje. Rozewerf ligt echt maar net aan de dijk die het beschermt van het water, ooit de Zuiderzee thans het Markermeer. Het gebied rondom Rozewerf stond ook regelmatig onderwater nadat het aan zee kwam te liggen. Uiteindelijk werd een lage dijk aangelegd waardoor er alleen bij wat grotere stormen water oversloeg. Sinds de aanleg van de Afsluitdijk heeft men daar ook geen last meer van. Wel heeft men last van het kruiende ijs in de winter. Daarom staan er ook ijsbrekers net buiten de dijk in het Markermeer. Er staan 12 ijsbrekers welke zijn afgeleid van de 12 apostelen. De twaalf houten ijsbrekers dateren in aanleg uit 1872. De vuurtoren 'Paard van Marken' staat op zijn eigen piepkleine eilandje aan het einde van een smalle dijk en is bijna volledig omgeven door water, wat de ligging zo fotogeniek maakt. Vooral in de winter met het kruiend ijs kan je hier spectaculaire foto's maken. Vissers gingen net als hun voorouders in Marken met een slede, visnet, lange stok en bijl ijsvissen. In het dikke ijs moesten ze eerst een bijt hakken. Daarin werden dan lange stokken met een net eraan geschoven om de spiering binnen te halen. Het was in die tijd een mooi bijverdienste. Het ziet er leuk uit, maar niet zonder risico. Vroeger vielen vissers met regelmaat door het ijs en raakten onderkoeld of verdronken zelfs.

Pretty cool to see these two in the tree above where Mum and I picnicked pre-lockdown. Nice to watch them hanging out, not bothered by us talking about them underneath.
They were introduced to Aotearoa in the 1860's to control agricultural pests but became pests themselves.
Both sides of the pathos remain in relation to each other, but together they form a tilted image or a thaumatrope: set in motion, it itself becomes its own background and context.
This raises the question of the public perception of positions:
The German word "Mitleid" gives us a nice way of understanding that a suffering is shared by several people. However, the Greek retranslation as sympathy in no way describes what is meant by eleos: A pain that is caused when we see suffering that befalls someone who "does not deserve it" and which we can expect to affect ourselves or our peers. This suffering must therefore be close to us without affecting us. This eleotic perception is like the perception of a newspaper reader: undisturbed by any form of sympathy.
As pain about pain, eleos is directed at the perceived suffering of another. This means that the pain observed is precisely not the pain suffered. The possible compassion of the observer remains merely a virtual scenario of a (global) community of fate. And yet this virtual space claim to being the actual reality. This Virtuality (virtual reality) is regulated by public order through the proportionality of an orthos logos. This order is arrogantly self-sufficient, it denies any kind of actualization and attempts to control its forms canonically as a repertoire of emotions. But: it is always threatened by the "reality of the reality".
It is not a matter of accepting the "issue" with equanimity, but of meeting it with quick-wittedness, not with detachment. The triumph of "changing" (growth) is the triumph of not being changed.
Are we always able to perceive the other as a thaumatrope? Or is the social construct and recognition precisely an expression of "social aspect blindness", while thaumatropic perception is reserved only for who we call "friend"? Then it would not be a part of "sociality", but its interruption.

The wonderful William and Mary-style country house Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire. This is a beautifully maintained and presented National Trust property.
Hanbury Hall was built c1701 by an unidentified architect for a wealthy Chancery barrister, Thomas Vernon, a distant relation of the Vernons of Haddon Hall and the Vernons of Sudbury Hall. This red brick house with stone dressings has a front of eleven bays with three-bay projecting wings. It also has a hipped roof and cupola.

You don't really need a telephoto zoom lens at the Muriwai Beach gannet colony, but it does help! This one gave me such a quizzical look, lol. When I finally got to see him (or her!) on the large screen, I first was reminded of Beaker from the Muppets...then I decided that Sam the Eagle was a better fit. What do you think?
Rhapsodize here to help you decide!

Short-eared Owl Notes and Information:
There is something almost magical about Short-eared Owls, a sense of otherworldliness that comes from their nomadic nature. For many birdwatchers it is the winter months that provide the best opportunities to catch up with this species. Wintering ‘shorties’ make use of lowland grazing marshes, areas of early-stage plantation and rough grassland - habitats that in previous decades might once have supported breeding pairs.
Better up North:
The three Breeding Bird Atlases show how the breeding range of the Short-eared Owl has contracted northwards within Britain. The species is becoming increasingly restricted to our northern uplands, the Hebrides and Orkney. Short-eared Owls are nomads, turning up to breed wherever their favoured small mammal prey are abundant. Historically, large numbers turned up to exploit the plagues of Field Voles that once occurred in parts of Scotland and northern England, their populations changing dramatically from one year to the next. The northwards retreat has virtually seen the disappearance of the population that once bred around the East Anglian coast, south to the north shore of Kent, and the loss of the species from the brecklands of the Norfolk/Suffolk borderlands. It is thought that our breeding population now stands at between 750 and 3,500 pairs but, like many things about the species, there is uncertainty around these figures because of our wider lack of knowledge about them.
Small mammal specialist:
The Short-eared Owl is a specialist predator of small mammals, predominantly voles and the Field Vole forms c.90% of the prey taken. Short-eared Owls can be seen quartering an area of suitable habitat, hunting on the wing and listening and looking for signs of prey in the grass below. Quartering flight involves a mixture of flapping and gliding, the bird sometimes hovering before dropping down onto an unsuspecting small mammal or bird.
Bird prey can be important at some sites and at some times of the year, with pipits, small waders and other species taken more often during the winter months. It is not unusual to see several Short-eared Owls hunting over the same area, sometimes hunting alongside Barn Owls and even Kestrels. These hunting ‘shorties’ will often roost on the ground using taller cover, typically close to the sites where they have spent time hunting.
On the wing
While many Short-eared Owl populations are nomadic, some live a more settled existence. Information from Short-eared Owls ringed as young at the nest, reveals that our birds undertake long-distance movements, dispersing away from the area in which they were born. A wider examination of movements, looking across Europe, reveals that the average distance moved after ringing has declined since the 1970s. This may reflect the pattern of less pronounced vole cycles and the amelioration of the climate, both of which may see these birds remaining further north than they did just a few decades ago. This would also explain the contraction that we have seen in the UK breeding range. As with a number of other species, there is good evidence that northerly populations are more migratory than southern ones.
The business of breeding
Short-eared Owls are early breeders and many pairs will be back on their breeding territories by late March. Strongly territorial, the birds may be seen advertising ownership of their breeding territory or chasing away intruders. Individuals utilise a number of different display postures and rely more on these than on vocalisations, something that reflects their association with open rather than wooded habitats. These birds have a reputation for defending their nest and young, attacking predators, dogs and human observers with some ferocity.
Increasing our understanding
Researchers based at BTO Scotland have been carrying out work to improve our understanding of this charismatic species. Some of this work has been directed to improving fieldwork methods for detecting and censusing this species, while other work has looked at ranging behaviour and longer distance movements. Knowledge of where Short-eared Owls occur during the winter months comes from periodic atlas surveys and, importantly, from the records of birdwatchers collected through BirdTrack, meaning that anyone can contribute to our knowledge of this enigmatic species.

The Sheraton Grand Doha is a design by architectural firm William L. Perreira assoc. and built in 1979. This building marked the start of the age of modern architecture in Qatar. Photograph taken on one of only very few rainy days in Qatar.
Part of a series of 29 fine art photos on modern architecture in Qatar commissioned by Qatar Tourism, taken earlier in 2022. This series of 29 photographs is being exhibited right now in the M7 museum in Doha, Qatar. What you will see as the series of 29 unfolds in the next days and weeks, is that there’s a strong connection between the architect’s design and its environmental and cultural context. I’ve tried to celebrate the architect’s design through my interpretation of it in relation to its environment. The tonal composition has been carefully designed to give visual weight to the architectural structures and pronounce their forms, while the material and spatial composition (object and space selection and arrangements) enhances the visual energy of the structures as they are juxtaposed to the serenity of the (back)grounds. A serenity that is inspired by the characteristics of a desert area. All 29 photos have been photographed and processed in roughly 3.5 months only using the B&W Artisan Pro panel to speed up the process and increase accuracy.
If you happen to be in the area: the exhibition at the M7 museum in Doha runs till January 2023 and is on the 2nd floor. Printed on Fujifilm Crystal Archive Pearl (Metallic C-Type), with Diasec Classic by DifoArt in the size of 112x63cm (44x25 inches)

Vilhelm Hammershoi ranks among the pre-eminent Scandinavian artists from the turn of the twentieth century. At once traditional and avant-garde - maintaining a self-conscious dialogue with the artistic traditions of his homeland while being thoroughly conversant with contemporary European trends
- Hammershoi helped redefine modernism, both in terms of its aesthetic quality and geographic range.
He was first and foremost a painter of interiors - of hushed, near-deserted spaces populated by a solitary, seemingly spellbound figure. Contemplative and hauntingly still, these scenes comprise the majority of his oeuvre and are the works for which the artist is best known.
Landscapes, however, also played a central role in Hammershoi's art. This sheet is a magnificent example of the artist's unique approach to the genre, where strangeness and silence prevail, and space and line defy all expectations. The work is a precise preparatory study for the central
portion of a large-scale painting. . . .Hammershoi worked meticulously on
each individual tree, deftly defining the structure of the trunk and crown, establishing its precise position in relation to the road and imbuing it with a particular personality.
While "Group of Trees" depicts a deserted-looking thoroughfare flanked by trees, the Royal Road was in actual fact one of Copenhagen's busiest arterial roads. Unlike his Nordic contemporaries Hammershoi eschewed Romantic notions of pure nature untouched by civilization and instead transformed populated areas into desolate, barren landscapes seemingly abandoned by humanity. A sense of alienation and disquiet pervades his work.
Despite the low horizon and resulting high sky in this drawing, there seems to be a total absence of air or atmosphere - an emptiness all around. The grouping of trees, suspended in time, is a microcosm of the world, their seriality suggesting infinite expansion. And yet there is a claustrophobic quality to the scene.
Equally unconventional in "Group of Trees" is the distance between the scene and the beholder: no one has ever perceived and painted a Danish landscape that way before. The road is no longer as it traditionally was: a route into the internal space of the picture, a powerful source of connection. Here it runs parallel to the sheet - there is no way in. For Hammershoi, the work of art no longer served to mediate between humans and nature, but rather emphasized the distance between them.

Die inneralpinen ICs der Relation Graz- Salzburg bzw. Innsbruck ähneln lieber einen REX-Zug als ein hochwertiger Fernverkehrszug, da wegen des akuten Wagenmangels nicht nur der Steuerwegen, sondern auch ein erheblicher Teil des Zuges aus CityShuttle Wagen bestehen; ein InterCityShuttle, könnte man meinen. Daneben gibt es drei Internationale Züge, zwei fährt von Salzburg weiter in Richtung München und Frankfurt, während der Transalpin mit seinem klangvollen Namen von Bischofshofen in Richtung Innsbruck, Alberg und die Schweiz weiterfährt. Am Nachmittag des 20. Jänner erreich gerade 1116.079 mit dem aus Zürich kommenden EC 163 Altenmarkt im Pongau.
Transalpine within the Alps
The inner-Alpine ICs on the Graz-Salzburg or Innsbruck route are more like a REX train than a high-quality long-distance train since due to the acute shortage of cars, not only the control cars but also a significant part of the train consists of CityShuttle cars – well, an InterCityShuttle or what. Besides them, there are also three international trains, two of which continue from Salzburg towards Munich and Frankfurt, while the most illustrious train, called Transalpin, continues from Bischofshofen towards Innsbruck, and the Alberg pass before reaching Switzerland. On the afternoon of January 20th, 1116.079 is about to reach Altenmarkt im Pongau with the EC 163 coming from Zurich.

Yep, that's my last name but sadly I have no familial relationship with these historic Millards of Nacogdoches Texas.
With today being a spring low tide (no relation to the time of year but when the tide has an increased range which occurs near the times of full moon and new moon) I couldn't resist visiting these old groyne posts. I walk past them daily and have been waiting for a morning like this to shoot them.
As well as serving a very important purpose, I love the character of our wooden groynes here in the UK. It really adds something special to our beaches! The local authority are working their way along replacing these, but I'd love it if they left a few old ones in place simply to retain the character! With a backdrop of a pastel sunrise, what's not to love?
Us.. and how my doxie realy think how our relation is...
I had to shoot a friend with a dog last weekend..
And this was one of the ideas i had..
I wanted to try it self first with my doxie...
So here you go.. my 52 for this week was born ;))
Easy and simple, cos life is busy enough right now!!!
BTW, 5 cookies got killed by her for this worked..
I think my doxie had the most fun ever with steeling them ;))
And i love her typical dachs paws here... there tooooo cute!!!!
She is a standard dachs, so not too tiny ;))
No. 1 - 6: Exploring - the Abbey Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire .
Windows of the Choir
- another view, showing the windows in relation to the vault on the north side
- these fourteenth century windows are the chief glory of the choir. There are seven in all, and though they have suffered much from wilful damage and neglect, there are perhaps no others in England containing quite so much glass of the same date, and in such good condition as a whole. Every one must rejoice that in 1828 lack of funds prevented these windows from being thoroughly restored.
The windows nearest to the tower have four lights each, and the tracery is comparatively simple though flowing and free.
In the north-west window seen on the left here (i.e., immediately over the Warwick Chapel) are—
1. Fitz-Hamon;
2. Robert Fitzroy;
3. Hugh le Despenser;
4. Gilbert de Clare (third), the tenth Earl of Gloucester.
In the south-west window, i.e., the one exactly opposite to the last mentioned, are—
1. Gilbert de Clare (the first of the name);
2. Lord de la Zouch;
3. Richard de Clare;
4. Gilbert de Clare (the second).
These knights are all in armour, and are valuable as giving accurate representation of the armour and knightly gear of their time. Above the knights are represented canopies, and in the heads of the windows are scrolls of vine-leaves.
The bodies of the De Clares lie below the choir pavement, almost in a line with these two windows.
The other windows on either side contain Scripture subjects, many of them very fragmentary: Daniel, David, Abraham, Jeremiah, Solomon, and Joel are, however, easily to be found.

The Serval is a medium-sized African wild cat. It is closely related to the African Golden Cat and the Caracal.
It is a slender animal, with long legs and a fairly short tail. The head is small in relation to the body, and the tall, oval ears are set close together. The pattern of the fur is variable. Usually, the Serval is boldly spotted black on tawny.
Although the Serval is highly specialised for catching rodents, it is an opportunistic predator whose diet also includes hares, hyraxes, birds, reptiles, insects, fish, and frogs. The Serval has been observed taking larger animals, such as small Springbok, but over 90% of the Serval’s prey weighs less than 200g. The Serval eats very quickly, and if its food is big enough,
