Hiking in Antholz-Obertal, South Tirol, 2019. It was indeed a great moment as the clouds began to withdraw while we were hiking back to Antholz-Oberthal
This Spitfire has had its elliptical wing tips removed to improve roll rate at low level. It is not an LF model which had a modified supercharger to improve engine performance at low level. LFs often had their wing tips removed too, for the same reason, but absence of wing tips is not definitive of LF models. From 1942, this Spitfire served with RAF No 310 (Czech) squadron, hence the additional Czech roundel. This weekend was to be the Shuttleworth air show, now cancelled, so this picture is from last year's show.

We are pruning some tall trees in the garden this week, including a salix. These are catkins from branches we’ve removed. The catkins were glowing in the sun. I haven’t noticed them before, or perhaps just never seen them because the tree is so tall.

Seems late in the season, they might have lost their eggs to addling. Apparently if they suspect their eggs were tampered with they will lay again.
From Wikipedia "Goose egg addling is a wildlife management method of population control for Canada geese and other bird species. The process of addling involves temporarily removing fertilized eggs from the nest, testing for embryo development, killing the embryo, and placing the egg back in the nest. Returning the egg to the nest misleads the goose into believing the egg is still developing. Otherwise, the goose would begin laying again."
Barberton daisy and Gerbera jamesonii
Barberton daisy can purify air and remove formaldehyde and benzene. Barberton daisy are valued most in gardens for the striking colors of their large blooms. Often used in flower beds, cut flower gardens, and container plantings, they can make a striking addition to any kind of flower garden.
The gerbera daisy on the other hand symbolizes purity, innocence, and beauty. The most significant characteristic of this flower is its bright, radiant colors, which represent energy and rejuvenation to many. Its colors encourage youthfulness and joy that radiate into the daily lives of individuals.
To the horror of my friends for going out for a walk yesterday and today on very Extreme Cold, I was bundled in 3 layers and just enjoyed a very brisk walk. Lucky for me that they cleaned the snow during the previous night.
All of the photos were taken respectfully and for artistic purposes only.
If you appear in a photo and want it removed, just contact me.

"A statue removed from an Islington park more than 30 years ago has been officially reinstated. 'Upon Reflection' is a self-portrait of artist Kevin Atherton, first unveiled in the Philip Noel-Baker Peace Garden, in Elthorne Park, in 1985.
But the statue, which depicts the artist gazing at his reflection in a pond, was vandalised and eventually removed after less than two years. The plinth has remained empty since.
The sculpture was thought to be lost, until the council’s heritage team found it in the basement of Islington Town Hall last year." (source and date of article unknown😭possibly 'Islington Gazette')
Originally when the Statue was Installed was plain Silvery Bronze colour. It was painted Silver (as here) but the Date that it was Painted Gold was sometime in 2024 (to be updated)

Suresh Pattali:
Suresh Pattali, a film and theatre activist, or as Paul Zacharia, the Editor of Economic Times and his former colleague rightly stated," a film buff and libertarian"; worked as a producer in Asianet when I met him.
Suresh assisted the renowned Indian filmmaker Muzaffar Ali in making classic movies like 'Gaman' and 'Umrao Jaan' and has worked with noted singer Kishore Kumar and Popular music director Salil Choudhury. He was too humble a human being to read one's character and get close within no time.
I met him first, in 2000, at his office in the Asianet Studio complex at Puliyarakonam in Trivandrum. He was very eager to listen to my album 'Simple Truth' and knew it was in the final stage of completion. He was too busy in the studio that I waited from 4 pm to about 6 pm as he occasionally makes an appearance and apologizes for making me wait and leaves after making sure that I am comfortable. Someone would want him when he joins me, and as I was not in any hurry, I asked him to take his time. When he hastily joined me at about 6 pm, I told him that I have a rough copy of 'Simple Truth' in my car. The moment he heard that he just walked out of the studio with his hand on my shoulder. He sat beside me in the car, we closed the doors, and I played the tape.
Before the music started, he asked, "What about a ride?". I nodded, and we drove out to the nearly desolate roads in the suburbs of Trivandrum. When the music started, I noticed that he is gazing at my face. With a smile, when I turned and looked at him, he asked," You did this ?". I said "Yes", and his astonished expression is the first and best compliment I ever received. I drove aimlessly while he keenly and mutely listened to all the 12 songs in the album. Later I dropped him at his house, which is just about a kilometre away from his workplace.
The very next day, I received a call from him inviting me to his house, and I visited him sometime in the afternoon. His interest in music and his memory amazed me as he started describing how he visualized one of the songs that he heard the previous day. It was late afternoon, and he was yet to have his lunch. I understood he's drunk, but he appeared perfect and very much in his senses. I told him that I would wait until he has his lunch. Within a few minutes, he returned with an egg omelette for me. I didn't refuse as I knew he prepared it just for me. It was too salty to consume, and when I was struggling with it, he joined me munching his omelette and said, "Too much salt, right? I don't have any more eggs left, else I would have made fresh ones". After spending some time discussing the script, I left following his assurance to contact me soon. The next day he called me for further talks, and we fixed a local club for the next meeting the same evening.
He ordered a few drinks and narrated his Mumbai cinema experiences. The modesty of the Popular singer Kishore Kumar, the friendliness of the great musician Salil Chowdhury, and the simplicity of the renowned actress Smita Patil. The humbleness of Kishore Kumar during recordings and the prowess of Salil Chowdhury to compose 'boatman' songs.
He respected and appreciated me for being a teetotaller, and never did he behave drunk with me. I reminded him that it's getting too late and offered to drop him at his house. On the way back, he asked, "Anuj, which is your most favourite song? ". I replied that it's a tough question as I have so many favourites." My favourite English song is, 'Still I'm Sad' by Boney M", he said. After a pause, he continued, "Do you know ' Chingari Koi Bhadke '?". I said, "Yes, I love that song." He asked, "Can you sing it ? "and I replied, " Sorry, I have never tried it". Again after a pause, he said, "Please hum it ". I hummed the tune in its original pitch, and he started singing along in a feeble voice. I drove listening to his rendition, which was indeed beautiful. He remained quiet after that, and I dropped him home at about midnight.
Within a few days, he invited me to judge a talent search programme conducted by Asianet for college students, named 'Talent Scan 2000'. I accepted the request and appeared for the programme at Victoria Jubilee Town Hall on the stipulated date and time. He introduced me to the crew, and my role was to judge Western Music. After the programme, he thanked me and promised to be in touch.
He called me after a few days and asked me whether we shall meet sometime in the evening. I agreed, and he said he would call later to fix the venue and time. He called again in the evening to tell me that he's having one of his old friends along with him and asked whether it's fine with me. I said it's all right, and I invited him to one of the most prestigious clubs in town, where I have a membership. I booked a table on the lawn and waited for him.
He had few drinks like earlier, but his friend started gulping like a thirsty cow, loudly declared that he's a Maoist, and proudly started to swank his profanity proficiency. While Suresh commanded him to behave, in an attempt to move his chair backwards, the dhoti-clad Maoist fell aback bare, along with his chair. The waiters on duty are used to such displays, but they appeared shocked as they never expected such guests with me. I asked Suresh whether we shall leave. I have never seen him angry, and he didn't lose his cool even when his friend irritated him. He said we would move, but his friend refused to come. I thought of seeking help from the waiters and security to carry him to the car.
Finally, he agreed to move when Suresh 'promised' to take him to some distinct wine bar.
I was a bit apprehensive whether he would attempt to jump out of the moving car as we proceeded towards the hotel where he stays. Once we reached the hotel, he refused to get off the car. Suresh somehow managed to pull him out, and on the street, he loudly started to demonstrate his imprecation skills. I saw Suresh with a grim face for the first time, but still, he didn't lose his cool. Swiftly, he hopped into the car and signalled me to accelerate fast. I did that, and his friend was staggering from behind, trying to chase us as we sped away. Suresh didn't utter a word after that. I dropped him home, and though he didn't apologize, I could see that apologetic look in his weary eyes when he bid me goodbye.
I phoned him early in the morning to check whether his friend is all right. He told me that his friend was nabbed by the police the previous night, and he has to get him released.
I asked him to relax and promised to call him in the evening.
I called him in the evening, and an unfamiliar voice picked up the call.
I asked, " Suresh, Is that you? ".
The stranger from the other end replied, " Suresh passed away. He vomited blood, and we took him to the hospital but couldn't save him".

उसे कौन बचाये"

The light is on inside this kiosk but the telephone equipment that used to be installed in it has been dismantled and taken away. Many examples of the famous K6 kiosk, which was in production from 1936 to a design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, now enjoy statutory protection as buildings of special architectural or historic interest. This particular kiosk, at Tickenham in North Somerset, isn't listed, but one that is can be found just a couple of miles from here on Clevedon's sea front. Some similarly redundant kiosks in this part of the world have found new uses, for example to house emergency defibrillators or as miniature lending libraries. Hidden in a dip below the hill that is just discernible through the gloom, the M5 motorway ascends to the Wynhol Gap before threading its way through the Gordano Valley. Photograph made Monday 23rd November 2015.
Update October 2016: this photo is no longer "on" in quite the same way because the light inside the kiosk now fails to illuminate. I'm glad I took the chance when I had it.
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank,

I love this place so much. It's been winter in the mountains since August: soon it'll be absolutely impossible to go up there at all, and even in October, I was still freezing cold taking these. I was so cold I got about 30 pictures and left. Men with snowplows kept passing and looking at me like I was insane. Which, I might be.
.
More pictures from the same beautiful place here, here, here, and here.
I feel restless lately. Or feel like I should feel restless. I need to go somewhere, do something.
I was left a wonderful testimonial by srobertson_93 too, you should absolutely check our her photostream.
Vista dal cortile interno di Castel del Monte (View from the Castel del Monte courtyard)
Castel del Monte is a 13th-century citadel and castle situated on a hill in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It was built during the 1240s by the Emperor Frederick II (Stupor mundi) , who had inherited the lands from his mother Constance of Sicily.
In the 18th century, the castle's interior marbles and remaining furnishings were removed. It has neither a moat nor a drawbridge and some considered it never to have been intended as a defensive fortress; however, archaeological work has suggested that it originally had a curtain wall.
Described by the Enciclopedia Italiana as "the most fascinating castle built by Frederick II", the site is protected as a World Heritage Site.
Because of its relatively small size, it was once considered to be no more than a "hunting lodge", but scholars now believe it originally had a curtain wall and did serve as a citadel. Frederick was responsible for the construction of many castles in Apulia, but Castel del Monte's geometric design was unique. The fortress is an octagonal prism with an octagonal tower at each corner. The towers were originally some 5 m higher than now, and they should perhaps include a third floor. Both floors have eight rooms and an eight-sided courtyard occupies the castle's centre. Each of the main rooms has vaulted ceilings. Three of the corner towers contain staircases. The castle has two entrances, an unobtrusive service entrance and an ornate main entrance. Frederick's main entrance featured elements from classical design, and may have been influenced by Frederick's interest in Greco-Roman architecture.
The octagonal plan is unusual in castle design. Historians have debated the purpose of the building and it has been suggested that it was intended as a hunting lodge. Another theory is that the octagon is an intermediate symbol between a square (representing the earth) and a circle (representing the sky). Frederick II may have been inspired to build to this shape by either the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which he had seen during the Sixth Crusade, or by the Palace Chapel of Aachen Cathedral.
Occasionally used as a hunting lodge under Manfred of Sicily, the castle become a state prison under the latter's victor, Charles I of Anjou: here Manfred's sons Henry, Azzo and Enzo were kept as prisoner after 1266, as well as other Hohenstaufen supporters.
The main wall is 25 m high and the eight bastions each 26 m. The sides of the main octagon are 16.5 m long and those of the octagonal towers each 3.1 m. The castle has a diameter of 56 m. Its main entrance faces east.
Central to the plot of Umberto Eco's novel The Name of the Rose is an old fortress known as the 'Aedificium'. This was almost certainly inspired by Castel del Monte. It was also the set for the film Tale of Tales.
Castel del Monte è una fortezza del XIII secolo fatta costruire dall'imperatore Federico II nell'altopiano delle Murge, in Puglia, sulla sommità di una collina, a 540 metri s.l.m. È stato inserito nell'elenco dei monumenti nazionali italiani nel 1936 e in quello dei patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO nel 1996.
L'origine dell'edificio si colloca al 29 gennaio 1240, quando Federico II Hohenstaufen ordinò a Riccardo da Montefuscolo, Giustiziere di Capitanata, che venissero predisposti i materiali e tutto il necessario per la costruzione di un castello presso la chiesa di Sancta Maria de Monte (oggi scomparsa).
L'edificio, oltre a essere un esempio di costruzione ancora oggi studiato per la sua stabilità pur se costruito senza fondamenta, è carico di simbolismi che hanno appassionato numerosi studiosi.
L'ottagono su cui è basata la pianta del complesso e dei suoi elementi è una forma geometrica fortemente simbolica: si tratta della figura intermedia tra il quadrato, simbolo della terra, e il cerchio, che rappresenta l'infinità del cielo, e quindi segnerebbe il collegamento e il passaggio dell'uno all'altro. La scelta dell'ottagono potrebbe derivare dalla Cupola della Roccia a Gerusalemme, che Federico II aveva visto durante la sesta crociata, o dalla Cappella Palatina di Aquisgrana.
L'intera costruzione è intrisa di numerosi simboli astrologici e la sua posizione è studiata in modo che nei giorni di solstizio ed equinozio le ombre gettate dalle pareti abbiano una particolare direzione. A mezzogiorno dell'equinozio di autunno, ad esempio, le ombre delle mura raggiungono perfettamente la lunghezza del cortile interno, ed esattamente un mese dopo coprono anche l'intera lunghezza delle stanze. Due volte l'anno, l'8 aprile e l'8 ottobre (ottobre in quel tempo era considerato l'ottavo mese dell'anno), un raggio di sole entra dalla finestra nella parete sudorientale e, attraversando la finestra che si rivolge al cortile interno, illumina una porzione di muro dove si trovava un bassorilievo raffigurante la madre terra.
Il numero otto ricorre in vari elementi di questa costruzione: la forma ottagonale della costruzione, del cortile interno e delle otto torri ai vertici, le otto stanze interne, la vasca interna che doveva essere ottagonale, otto fiori quadrifogli sulla cornice sinistra sul portale di ingresso, altri otto sulla cornice inferiore, otto foglie sui capitelli delle colonne nelle stanze, otto foglie sulla chiave di volta, otto foglie di vite sulla chiave di volta della prima sala del piano terra, otto foglie di girasole sulla chiave di volta di un'altra sala, otto foglie ed otto petali su quella della quinta sala, otto foglie di acanto sulla chiave di volta dell'ottava sala, otto foglie di fico sulla chiave di volta dell'ottava sala al piano superiore.

Shiva is the god of creation.
He is worshiped in the form of lingam (phallus).
Because from there creation is coming.
But this works only when lingam is put in yoni (vagina).
In Sanskrit the meaning of yoni is holy place.
In Hindu temples lingam and yoni are nicely carved from stone.
In Malaysia there are also Chinese venerating Shiva.
Chinese are very pragmatic and clever people.
So this Chinese built cheaply his own open air temple.
With materials for lingam and yoni from a nearby construction site.
Now he can do his prayers whenever he likes and weather condition allows.
As experienced and photographed in Penang, Malaysia.

Koda the Magnificent, and I have made it back to Colorado. We traveled from Arizona, through Utah, to Colorado. Every stop along the way, was met by the local bait and haters. These are the Village Idiots. They are rallied, and eager in wait. Mobbing, blocking at gas pumps, registers, and any area we may venture to; provoking. Some call it Gang Stalking or Community Mobbing. I call it Ignorance and Hate. Take a good look at this country today. We can thank our legislators and corrupt government agencies, for the state of our nation. Yep folks; keep electing 70-80 year old, career legislators and presidents. Their greed, lies and corruption, are what have gotten us here. Both parties!
Gang Stalking is real. These are deplorable acts of hate, harassment and intimidation.
