Flores de Santa Gemita - Framed - 092421 - TS2
The last remaining spores of the Dandelion soaked along with the grass around it. There is even a small insect on it which I did not see when I was taking the shot. It is turning out to be a wet May with a lot of heavy showers including thunderstorms.
A brief description of this photo:
A while ago, someone who shall remain nameless, had put out a photo with a catchy description, inviting participation. That said, I took part in said event only to suffer multiple injuries, the only one of which that I made known was the damage done to my hand by their apparatus. With that said, I was kindly rebuked in my mentioning of my injured hand. Then...in another encounter with said individual, I was told to send them my medical bill...well, since they offered. I took them up on it and on my way to mailing my bill to them, since it was tax season and they could afford my medical BILLS...ahem. I went to my mailbox to submit my envelope and tripped over another ill kept SL sidewalk, thus causing me to lose my balance and my crutch and in doing so, my envelope was taken away by a strong wind... a suspicious wind, mind you but nonetheless..my envelope was lost as well as my medical BILLS, that they were going to pay. The only proof of this, is one of the many CCTV that SL has in our cities.
If the person who is responsible for my broken hand sees this, my bill is forthcoming either by SL Postal Carrier or a strong Windlight wind!!!!
Now I'm off to pop some Oxy, as all this typing aggravated my hands, both good and broken!!!!
PS If anything is misspelled or is seen as an incomplete thought... I was in extreme pain typing this and reliving the whole experience.
A throwback to autumn of 2021, I still have many photos remaining to be uploaded from that trip, Dresden city in the evening, taken from a bridge, I vaguely remember having vibration problems, I guess no trams were crossing when I took this photo. Happy midweek to all.
Few remain of the American Goldfinches and other song birds as many of them have started their migration south. This American Goldfinch was stocking up on the seeds of the Button Flower.
Western Pennsylvania's rail lines are noted to be dotted with several spectacular bridges and trestles, both large and small. The Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railway is host to many. Some need a bit of work to photograph and others can be seen quite easily. The latter is such the case at Chicora, PA where the daily BT-3 weaves its way to Petrolia to switch the remaining refineries. On a rather toasty spring afternoon the job is in dynamic brakes to hold back the heavy train on the grade as it heads back to Butler..
Remaining Yellow Marigold, flowers in the my garden.
Legs not working too well at the moment so ‘On and Off’ for a while !
Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos. If you choose to Fave my photos or leave comments, I am truly grateful for your input. Thank you very much 😊

Le site repose sur les territoires d’Etalle et de Virton. Depuis les origines des forges, en 1507, plusieurs propriétaires, dont certains, peu scrupuleux, ont occupé le domaine. La production des forges a suivi l'implication des propriétaires, avec des hauts et des bas. Après une période de stagnation, les Orban ranimèrent le deuxième haut-fourneau et y agrandirent la forge en 1825. On leur doit aussi le modeste bâtiment encore existant qui porte l'inscription de "Bureau" et le millésime de 1839. C'est, avec les courtières (dans les moulins hydrauliques, ce sont les emplacements des roues à aubes) et les étangs, le seul vestige (intact) témoignant de la présence à cet endroit d'un important complexe industriel. Sur la fin des activités, on coula notamment au fourneau des boulets de canon qui furent employés au siège de Sébastopol. Tout le site a été classé en 1959.

was blieb,
waren ein paar gedankenfragmente
eine weit entfernte stimme,
ein hauch melancholie.
was verlorenging,
war das brennen
überstürzender strahlenbündel
schauernden glücks.
....und doch:
wenn du die bereits zugewehten spuren wieder freilegtest,
versuchtest, sie nochmals zu lesen,
spürtest du den heiligen schauer, wüßtest
du lebst.

Corsair Folded A WW2 Carrier aircraft with distinguished service, many remain flying today, found in North Carolina.
Edensor (pronounced ‘Enzer’) is a small but pretty village situated within the grounds of the Chatsworth House estate in the Peak District National Park.
The original village was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, at which time it was located along the River Derwent, where the buildings were visible from Chatsworth House. This view displeased the then Duke of Devonshire, William Cavendish, however, and between 1838 and 1842 the entire village was dismantled. Many of the residents were moved to the nearby Chatsworth villages of Beeley and Pilsley, and the planning and building of a new village, over the brow of a hill and out of sight of Chatsworth House, was managed by the famed architect Sir Joseph Paxton.
Only one of the houses, Park Cottage, was allowed to remain in its original position, reputedly because its elderly tenant at the time did not want to move and the Duke took pity on him.
The village is made up of a charming, slightly eccentric mixture of different house styles, from Tudor to Norman, with Swiss-style cottages and Italian-style villas. Rumour has it that the architect who worked with Paxton to produce the designs for the houses, John Robertson, presented the Duke with a selection of house styles to choose from at a time when he was particularly busy, and the Duke – rather distractedly – chose ‘one of each’.
The original church of St Peter’s dated back to the 12th Century. However, in the mid-19th Century it was rebuilt and expanded for the 7th Duke of Devonshire, and its beautiful spire now dominates the skyline. The churchyard contains a number of graves of the Chatsworth’s Cavendish family, including a memorial to Kathleen Kennedy, sister of the former US president John F Kennedy, who was the wife of William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington. The churchyard also contains the grave of Sir Joseph Paxton, the famous architect of the Crystal Palace in London.

The German militairy cemetry in Vladso (Belgium)
While the cemetries of the Allied troops have stark white colors, those of the German troops are gray- black and look dead and gloomy.
While the militairy cemetries are an example of discipline and structure, the German variants lack alignment and logic.
It was long be argued that this would be regulated in the Articles 225 and 226, from the Treaty of Versailles, but whoever reads these articles will find that this view is incorrect.
The real reason is that the French after the end of the insane war were ordered tot give the German dead their final resting place and collected the bodies in the sector of Ypres and burried them on free pieces of land, altough it was not obvious that they each received an individual tombstone.
So what we see here is in fact a mass grave, covered with granite slabs bearing their names.
Black evokes bad feelings and the Germans were in the eyes of the Allied the agressor, despite the fact that during investigations after the insane war it appeared that all warring parties had engaged in aggression and had committed atrocities. France, England and Italy had already secretly divided the territories of Germany and its colonies, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in the heat of the battle!
It was of paramount legal importance that, according to the President of the United States Wilson's conviction, Germany should be held responsible but not blamed for the insane war breaking out. However they were incomprehensible responsible for the reparations!
The fact that the Germans and English soldiers at the front still had peaceful feelings towards eachother is evident from the inconceivable Christmas truce in 1914 that took place in the sector of Ypres.
This incomprehensible event of peace and fraternity during the heat of the battle took also place on field sites in many other sections at the front.
The German front soldiers started on Christmas eve 1914 by singing "Silent Night" and shouting "Merry Christmas".
When the British soldiers realized that this was well-meant, they came out of their trenches and even went to exchange their Christmas presents from home.
On Christmas Day, they played football together in the no-man's-land, the piece of land between the trenches of the warring armies; ordinairy soldiers who were tired of the war could momentarily throw of the yoke of the insane war.
When the army commanders, or rather the butchers, got wind of this, these fraternizing actions were officially stricktly forbidden from above and held out very severe punishments if the fightings were not resumed immedialy. The ensuing battles would claim millions of lives on the whole front.

Canada Malting Silos is one of two remaining silos in Toronto's Harbourfront in Ontario, Canada. Located at the foot of Bathurst Street at Bathurst Quay (Eireann Quay), the silos were built in 1928 to store malt for the Canada Malting Company. It was an important work of industrial architecture, as grain elevators had long been built out of wood, and thus were at great danger of fire. The concrete malting towers were an innovation, and the stark functionalism of the prominent building was an early influence on modernist architecture.
It was abandoned in the 1980s and destined for demolition, but it was designated a heritage site by the city of Toronto. A group called Metronome Canada hoped to convert the silos into a music museum or theme park. The city of Toronto is also considering it as a location for a municipal history museum.
Demolition of the germination and kiln buildings began early September 2010. The silos will be left standing, eventually being incorporated into future developments on the site. The municipality has not yet decided exactly what will be done with the space once the demolition project is complete

It's called Wind Ridge for a reason. It was howling up here and difficult to remain standing upright. That's Pigeon Mountain on the left and the diagonal trail is Skogan Pass.

A quartet of Southern Pacific EMDs pull an OANSF (Oakland - Kansas City) auto rack train through the horseshoe above Gilluly, Utah at sundown on Aug. 11, 1996. Southern Pacific had 30 days of independence remaining before the big merger with UP. We were all in disbelief the merger would really happen, to no avail.
NS U52 passes one of the handful of remaining N&W CPLs at Vansant. Once the location of a mining operation and the junction with the Big Prater Creek Branch, today this is little more than an inerlocking for the remaining coal and coke traffic on the Buchanan Branch. This train is hauling loaded coke from the Suncoke Jewell facility just a few miles south.
The once verdant cornfields around here, the few that remain anyway, have withered into parched leaves and bone-dry stalks. They emanate eerie rustling sounds in response to even the slightest breeze. This is my favorite time of the growing season, even though it's the end phase. The visuals are simultaneously creepy and amazing. Yet I feel an odd sense of anxiety every time I hear a harvesting combine rumbling past the house. I always wonder if they are heading to one of the cornfields that I photograph. I have this completely unhinged sense of ownership for the fields I visit. The same feelings often develop around abandoned houses that I explore. For me it's a recurrent storyline that never ends well. Sooner or later I return to find only emptiness. The harvest is now over, but the emotion and even terror that played out here for me these past months lingers.
One of the fallen from the storms earlier this year forms a barricade at the top of the slope of The Hangings at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire. I was quite relieved that although many fell, the overall population managed to survive.
but what remained were glorious! Devil's Hopyard in East Haddam, CT. About 850 acres of walking trails with a covered bridge and beautiful waterfalls--when there is water. Connecticut is in the middle of a severe drought, but there was this much water still left!
Hawa Mahal, the famous palace of Jaipur, was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. Meaning " Palace of the Winds", it is basically a screen built for Royal ladies to view the street below, while they remained hidden from others. Made of Pink sandstone, it is one of the most renowned architectures of India.
The petrified trees at this site remained buried for 3.4 million years until, in 1870, an intrepid Swedish homesteader by the name of Charles Evans ("Petrified Charley"), while raking his pasture, discovered the top of an old hollow log that was as hard as stone. His initial curiosity led a number of scientists to visit the property in order to learn more about these natural wonders in California.
The sole remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere crossing Lake Wakatipu. An Edwardian steamship built in 1912, the TSS Earnslaw is a 1912 vintage twin screw steamer. A beautiful display of engineering from the age of steam, or a polluting relic? Love to hear peoples thoughts on this? Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand.

Dunes, Soft Light. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Details of sand dunes in soft evening light, Death Valley Naitonal Park.
Sand dunes are always fascinating subjects, both for their appearance as part of the larger landscape and because they contain almost infinite varieties of smaller subjects, textures, colors, and variations in light. I made a wild guess recently that I’ve probably been to Death Valley perhaps twenty-five times. You’d think that I might start to tire of the dunes or run out of things to photograph there… but there’s not sign of this happening.
We went to these dunes late in the day and had them entirely to ourselves. The light was challenging, as clouds were building to the west. As the clouds moved the light increased and decreased, but overall it remained quite soft the entire time. But this just provides another variation on how we can photograph this subject, and the soft light lets me reveal some subtle details that can be lost in brighter conditions. I made some post-processing choices here that highlight the variations in light and the soft forms of the dunes.

View of the former administration building slated for future restoration.
Located in St. George, Staten Island, NY, on the former site of the U.S. Lighthouse Services Depot.
The depot was the national headquarters, test ground, and distribution center for all material and equipment used by lightkeepers and U.S. national lighthouse personnel from 1864 to 1939.
Originally, the site contained 18 buildings. Today, only six remain: the museum, workshops, and administration building. The site is adjacent to the Staten Island Ferry entrance on Richmond Terrace, and Bay St., opposite Borough Hall.
One of the remaining Yellowstone images not posted from a trip there in 2014. Can't believe it's been six years, and can't believe the luck we had with weather, clouds, and colors in that magnificent park. I suppose now is the time to tell everyone that Yellowstone is always splendorous (I finally got to use that word), but not always as accommodating to nature photographers. Sometimes, wildlife doesn't cooperate. Sometimes, even in May, you can get caught in snow, and the lakes may still be frozen over. Sometimes, the skies are dark and foreboding. That's why you must go there more than once! We've been in May, June, August, and September in seven trips. But the 2016 trip was the first with a digital camera! Unlike my decades with 35mm, I no longer had to worry about costs or using a motor drive and running through 36 exposure film in less than a minute! (That's what one Clark's Nutcracker cost me!)
By the way, I bought the Canon Powershot SX50 specifically for this trip. The SX40 would have sufficed, but when it came to capturing six new species of birds on the first day, it was the best camera purchase I could have made!
Unique blackish ibis with wonderful iridescent plumage in adult birds. Has a bare red face and throat and long quills form a raggedy mane. Short legs do not project beyond the tail in flight. (Unlike Glossy Ibis). Breeds in colonies on cliff ledges in semidesert regions; forages in open dry habitats. Critically Endangered with most remaining birds in and around Tamri, coastal Morocco; migratory eastern populations in Syria and Turkey all but extinct.
Historically bred in central and southern Europe. This photo is of a re-introduced and sedentary free flying breeding colony around Barbate, Cadiz Province, Andalucia, southern Spain.

Lübeck - the former capital and Queen City of the Hanseatic League - was founded in the 12th century and prospered until the 16th century as the major trading centre for northern Europe. It has remained a centre for maritime commerce to this day, particularly with the Nordic countries. Despite the damage it suffered during the Second World War, the basic structure of the old city, consisting mainly of 15th- and 16th-century patrician residences, public monuments (the famous Holstentor brick gate), churches and salt storehouses, remains unaltered.
Lübeck is the second largest city in Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany, and one of the major ports of Germany.Because of its Brick Gothic architectural heritage it was placed on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2009.

Skógafoss is a waterfall on the Skógá River in the south of Iceland at the cliff marking the former coastline.
After the coastline had receded (it is now at a distance of about 5 kilometres (3 miles) from Skógar), the former sea cliffs remained, parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometres, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the coastal lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland.
Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country, with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft) and was one of the many Game of Thrones filming locations in Iceland
