I'm repeating myself, but on reflection I think I prefer this one...My Facebook
War after war was fought. They keep falling and will keep falling. Countless tears were shed and yet history seems to still love repeating itself. Or is it just us?
P.S. I was trying to focus on the angel but somehow when I zoomed out, I liked what I saw and snap snap...
Fw: P.S. Auld Lang Syne is under construction. This is just for memory of how glorious it was! And I am sure she will make it just as glorious and magical so stay tuned!

"What we learn from history is that nobody learns from history".
A phrase that is often misattributed to Otto von Bismarck, but it more accurately belongs to the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

Compositionally Challenged Week 3 - Repetition
I used this same straw flower a couple of months ago for CC, another instance of repetition. ; )
This image of a cluster of small, cascading orchids was taken while on a visit to the San Diego Botanic Garden. I typically don't present florals in black and white, but these flowers were a soft, white color and the mono presentation helped to focus the viewer's attention on the flowers rather than the green stem.
I choose this subject, "repeated Star Wars characters", for the theme "Repeating Object" of the group "Crazy Tuesday".
I had a lot of fun for two reasons:
1) I made another ultrawide macro experiment (this time with an extension tube of 5mm): it is really stimulating.
2) More importantly, my son cooperated in some way... in the end he exchanged tho bottom parts of the first and the third character, obtaining two hybrid jedi-sith! ;-)
Have a great Crazy Tuesday, my dear Flickr friends. ;-)

Propellerheads feat. Shirley Bassey - History Repeating
Seeing recurring numbers is thought to be a sign that the universe is trying to get your attention. It’s a sort of signal from unseen forces that are attempting to shift your focus to important life matters that you need to address or work on. So if you often pause and take note of the time when the numbers are repeating it’s perfectly normal and it means that your higher self, spirit guides, or angels are trying to connect and get through to you. By the way ... 111 is a wake up call from the Universe....to pay attention to what's going on around you and who you are with. 222 is partners and relationships... pay attention to who is showing up in your world. 333 ... mind, body, soul.... check what's out of balance. Hmmmm.... interesting!! (LOL!)

This is a redux of this picture. Tones were adjusted to perk up the picture, but the primary reason was to lighten the mesa on the right. Also, recropped and sharpened. Plus, I've uploaded a larger than normal size picture because, well, DANG!
I've been seeing a lot of Monument Valley shots lately, which made me go back and take a look at our 2007 road trip. This is truly a "monumental" place. See what I did there?

in 2016 möchte ich mal wieder etwas mehr fotografieren. Am besten geht das immer (zumindest bei mir) mit etwas Druck - daher die Teilnahe am 52-Wochen-Projekt. Das Motto der ersten Woche "Repeating patterns" also "wiederkehrende Muster" - hier meine Interpretation "Blumen im Schnee"

This rare one off 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 by Bertone is one of seven built by Bertone, and is the only coupe of the seven. Powered by a modified 2.9L, 140hp engine, and seen and photographed at the 2024 Greenwich Concours Show. Here is it's story by Sotheby's:
The tale of Stanley H. “Wacky” Arnolt II is well-known to sports car enthusiasts, but bears a rapid repeating: The Warsaw, Indiana businessman made his first fortune as a manufacturer of marine engines, then branched into the selling of British automobiles in Chicago in late 1950. In 1952 he commissioned Italian coachbuilder Bertone to build a limited run of custom-bodied MG TDs, known as Arnolt-MGs, for sale through his showroom. This relationship soon expanded, with Bertone collaborating with “Wacky” on, most famously, the Arnolt-Bristol, as well as Bertone-bodied Alfa Romeos, Bentleys, Ferraris, and other fabulous coachbuilt creations.
There were seven Aston Martins dressed by Bertone under Arnolt’s auspices, or, as the relentlessly self-promoting Arnolt would have preferred they be known, Arnolt-Aston Martins. Their designs differed from series to series and car to car, but DB2/4 chassis number LML/765 is the only coupe. It was and remains a thing of beauty, with lines that are more crisp and elegant than some of the other Bertone creations, arguably more finely tailored and cohesive and especially striking as a coupe. As noted by historian Stanley Nowak in his article on the Bertone Astons in Automobile Quarterly, Vol. 26 No. 4, the car’s dramatic creases in its flanks and a pronounced wraparound rear window were both signature touches of Bertone’s Franco Scaglione.
Build records at Aston Martin Dorset indicate that LML/765 was commissioned by Arnolt on 20 August 1954 for “Monsieur Henrey Pagezy” of Paris and delivered on 7 January 1955. Given the somewhat mangled spelling, it is believed that this client was actually Henri Pigozzi, founder of Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile, better-known as Simca. This is likely, as a few features on LML/765, most notably the taillights, were borrowed from Simca automobiles—an impressive signature.
According to Nowak, Arnolt’s Bertone representative claimed that the coupe was intended to have been the first in a small run of cars, but by the time it appeared Aston Martin had refused to supply any more chassis to the effort. Supporting this statement, the car was shown, well after its completion, at both the 1957 and 1958 Turin Motor Shows—finished in white and then in blue, respectively—each time on the Bertone stand. It is believed that the coachbuilder borrowed the car back both years in an effort to entice Aston Martin to consider them as a new firm to develop the upcoming DB4, a role that eventually went to another Italian coachbuilder, Touring of Milan.
The Bertone coupe later made its way to the United States in 1976, into the hands of John G. Gyann. It was subsequently owned by Dr. Jim Pavlatos of Palos Heights, Illinois, and restored under his care, then passed through the hands of Chicago-based sportscar dealer Bill Jacobs and the Blackhawk Collection. In 1987, it was acquired from Blackhawk by Roger Karlson of California, who would own the car for eleven years and spent much time and spared no expense meticulously sorting the mechanicals of the largely cosmetic restoration that had been undertaken prior to his ownership. The car was shown later in 1987 at Pebble Beach while under Mr. Karlson’s ownership.
In 2019, the special Bertone Aston was acquired by the current owner, who commissioned Aston Martin specialists Kevin Kay Restorations in Redding, California to undertake a full concours restoration. As part of this work, the car was faithfully returned to its “show stand-correct” metallic blue shade, matched to traces of the original finish located below the headlight bezels and in the trunk area. In addition, the correct front bumper and taillights, which had been modified over the years, were fabricated to replicate the original 1955 units, as was the bonnet trim, sun visors, and much of the interior trim hardware. Down to the original red exhaust tip, visible in a surviving 1958 color photograph, no small detail was overlooked during this extensive restoration, which cost over $800,000 and was completed just in time for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2023. The restored car retains its original numbers-matching drivetrain, per its build documentation, with the original engine having been rebuilt to a high-output specification with elevated compression, DB MK III-style valves and camshafts, and an uprated oiling system.
At completion of the work, the car was debuted at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it was honored with First in Class, a remarkable achievement. It has yet to be shown publicly since, leaving the door open for the next caretaker to enjoy participation in virtually any top-level concours event on the planet. In fact, the Bertone Aston has already been invited to be displayed and compete at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Accompanying the sale is a document file featuring restoration photographs and invoices, as well as a copy of the Automobile Quarterly article and other historical information, including a detailed letter account by dedicated former owner Roger Karlson.
This unique Aston Martin DB2/4 is a singular and exquisite automobile, representing the epitome of English sporting heritage, but inspired by American ingenuity, passion, and ambition, and styled and built by Bertone and Italy’s finest artisans. In so many ways, the Bertone Aston represents the ultimate iteration of company owner David Brown’s “gentleman’s express.” A lively, smooth performer, it is a consummate English gentleman indeed, but clothed in a bespoke Italian suit.
