Newport, Rhode Island gained a reputation as a playground for the rich and is home to some of the most impressive mansions from America's gilded age, but the area has always been home to a working maritime industry, as well, with a rich nautical history. Castle Hill Light is small at only 34', and far from opulent, but it performs its duty with the steadfast resolve of a New England waterman, regardless of the conditions.
Remotely located at the end of Ocean Drive, this granite guardian is an active navigation aid for all vessels entering the East Passage of Narragansett Bay between Conanicut Island (seen in the background) and Aquidneck Island.

Clover's reputation has waxed and waned over the last century. Once considered a sign of a well-managed lawn, clover came to be considered a weed only after broadleaf herbicides hit the market.Today, gardeners are growing wise to the plant's many benefits. They plant clover to improve soil health, attract beneficial insects, and promote a healthy lawn.

Maybe the third or fourth most common bird here... unlike the other commons, this one is entertaining and I think its reputation as an intelligent bird is well earned also. It's a great photo subject and will hop up into a tree for you for two or three Jordanian Dinars; very cooperative...
On Friday, there were eight or these sort of guarding this puddle, say 90 meters from a leaking irrigation pipeline and they seemed to be protective of the area holding two Bluethroats, two Robins, three Prinia and a pair of Chiffchaffs away... fun watching... could have been two or three Dead Sea Sparrows here also but I only saw enough of them to say they were sparrows... I was also hoping for some Linnets but they never showed up...

The Common Merganser has a reputation for being a very hardy waterfowl member and will as long as the water stays open, winter further north than most other waterbirds and tend to prefer a habitat of freshwater versus saltwater.
Their breeding territory ranges across most of our northern forests from Alaska to Newfoundland. They tend to be a quiet species unless disturbed or when they are active in their courtship period. Sometimes they are cavity nesters, sometimes they use man-made nesting boxes and sometimes they nest on the ground where a clutch can contain anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs.
They are one of the more socialites of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on open lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their flock.
This hen is escorting a clutch of 7 juveniles upriver.
The reputation of this lens is rather mixed and, frequently, a lack of sharpness has been highlighted. It is true to say that, among the many primes Fuji has produced for its x-mount cameras, this one is generally more on the average side. However, if you treat it well, it will produce the goods. And, for a wide-angle lens, this one is very light and portable. A walker in the field, Kensworth, Bedfordshire.
This full-sized hummingbird can be found in various parts of Central America as well as upper South America. I only found this species in one of spot in Honduras--Pico Bonito in the east of that country. Funny how a particular hummingbird will dominate in a particular area.
I'm not sure how this bird gained the moniker 'Jacobin' instead of the simpler White-necked Hummingbird. Students of history will remember, though, that the Jacobins were radicals that sprang up following the French Revolution and formed the Reign of Terror along with Robespierre.
The White-necked Jacobin has a reputation as a brawler and a bully that will aggressively chase off other hummingbirds, even female WNJ's. The female of this species will even form the appearance of the males to protect itself from aggression.

I have a reputation for loosing my gloves and hats (and sometimes umbrellas, too, if I ever use one) at a regular basis ... usually on the streetcar / tram, on the mountains or somewhere else out and about taking photos
... I don't mind wearing odd / different gloves (and socks) though, so I don't throw away the single ones ; ))
And there are actually columns dedicated to all the lonely gloves out there on "out of frame" (a student-edited platform for all things untold, unseen and forgotten, so they say):

La mauvaise réputation (Georges Brassens)
The Bad Reputation (Georges Brassens)
In a village without pretention
I have a bad reputation
Whether i bother or stay quiet
I pass for an I-dont-know-what!
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By following the path of the little guy.
But the brave people do not like
others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone talks trash about me,
Except the mutes, that goes without saying.
On Bastille Day
I stay in my cozy bed.
The music that marches on,
Does not concern me.
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyoneBy not listening to the Bugle that sounds.
But the brave people do not like,
Others to follow another path than them.
No, the brave people do not like,
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone points at me
Except the people with no arms, that goes without saying.
When I cross an unlucky thief
Chased by a hick
I throw the leg, and why keep it quiet,
The hick finds himself on the ground.
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By letting run the thieves of apples.
But the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone rushes at me
Except those without legs, that goes without saying.
No need to be Jeremiah
To guess what fate is promised me
If they find a rope to their liking
They will put it around my neck
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By following the path that leads to Rome
But the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone will come to see me hung
Except the blind, of course!
Late this afternoon in Sydney.
Tuesday, 5th March, 2024.
Photographed from Woolcott Street, Waverton.
Half an hour before sunset.
SO today my 6.30pm work appointment at Bella Vista was cancelled. Perfect. It was a clear and sunny afternoon. So I drove to the harbourside via the M7, M2 and the mega expensive Lane Cove Tunnel. I decided on Waverton for my sunset photographs, and parked on Woolcott Street for this image, before shifting to the Berrys Bay Lookout on Larkin Street.
And that's where I ran into a group of English backpackers from Newcastle (in England). All women in their early to mid 20s. I sometimes meet the most amazing people on my photo excursions. And it's always so unexpected.
And, oh, for the backpacking girls from Newcastle who all love AC DC (as I do, of-course) here is 'Wild Reputation' by AC DC.
So play it LOUD:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZE89NFYb04
Anyway, we got talking about Sydney and they declared that our city had "a wild reputation". I was a tad bemused by that because I think Sydney is, on the whole, rather tame!!
But anyway, the girls mentioned that Newcastle has a bridge, the Tyne Bridge, that is exactly like the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Now how could that be? But check this:
www.google.com/search?sca_esv=b679d9581e4a3aee&rlz=1C...
And wait, there's more - the Tyne bridge was actually constructed four years before our bridge. Really? You learn something new every day. And both bridges were designed by London firm 'Mott, Hay and Anderson'. Wow!!
So after taking sunset pictures of the harbour from the Berrys Bay Lookout we went to the nearby Commodore Hotel, on Blues Point Road, for some drinks and pizza. And I will now definitely have to visit Newcastle, somewhere over in England, because I think that's where the real "wild reputation" exists. Let's go....

Squirrels often have a bad reputation as being a nuisance in gardens and campsites. However, they are smart survivors and I am taking lessons from them this winter. It looks like restrictions are going to get tighter in our province so today I am going to stock up on essentials to survive harsher winter weather and possible empty shelves at the grocery stores again. Nuts are something I love to eat and now that I am home more, I don’t need to worry about nut allergies! So I will squirrel away a good supply of those for the winter. I’ll try to get creative with lentils and chickpeas, too. If we find out that supplies are getting even more scarce by spring, I can always dig up my tulip bulbs and eat those. My parents did that during the war. Some fancy restaurants offer special tulip based recipes in the spring that you pay a premium price for! Yup, it’s not a bad idea to take some lessons from the squirrel. 😉

Ο Μύλος Ματσόπουλου στα Τρίκαλα αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία Βιομηχανικής Κληρονομιάς της χώρας μας. Χτίστηκε το 1884 από τους αδερφούς Αγαθοκλή, λίγο μετά την απελευθέρωση της Θεσσαλίας. Υπήρξε ο πρώτος κυλινδρόμυλος που χτίστηκε στην Ελλάδα και ο μεγαλύτερος των Βαλκανίων ενώ δίπλα του κατασκευάστηκε και το πρώτο μακαρονοποιείο της χώρας.
Στα χρόνια που ακολούθησαν άλλαξε πολλές φορές ιδιοκτησία, μέχρι που κατέληξε στον Ιωάννη Ματσόπουλο και μετά το θάνατό του, το 1977, στο δήμο Τρικκαίων, ο οποίος με τη συγχρηματοδότηση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης τον αναπαλαίωσε.
Στις μέρες μας αποτελεί ένα δυναμικό πολιτισμικό κέντρο, με πλήθος καλλιτεχνικών δραστηριοτήτων να λαμβάνουν χώρα εκεί. Στο κεντρικό κτίσμα φιλοξενούνται κυρίως καλλιτεχνικές εκθέσεις και στους υπόλοιπους χώρους περιλαμβάνονται το δημοτικό θέατρο, θερινός κινηματογράφος, συνεδριακός χώρος και το εργαστήρι τέχνης του πολιτιστικού οργανισμού του δήμου. Τέλος, στο χώρο λειτουργεί το δημοτικό αναψυκτήριο, όπου μπορείτε να χαλαρώσετε μέσα σε ένα καταπράσινο περιβάλλον.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια,πάντως,η φήμη του εξαπλώθηκε πανελληνίως ως «Μύλος των ξωτικών»,το μεγαλύτερο Χριστουγεννιάτικο θεματικό πάρκο με αναμφισβήτητες θετικές επιδράσεις στην οικονομία της πόλης.
Όμως οι (αντι)αισθητικές παρεμβάσεις τις οποίες υφίσταται εκείνη την περίοδο, με τεράστιους όγκους πλαστικής πολύχρωμης κιτσαρίας να παρεμβάλλονται άναρχα και ακαλαίσθητα ανάμεσα στις εκαταστάσεις του, αλλοιώνουν και τραυματίζουν «θανάσιμα» τον αρχιτεκτονικό χαρακτήρα του μνημείου.
Έτσι σε μιάν άλλη-πιο ήρεμη- περίοδο αποφάσισα να φωτογραφίσω το υπέροχο κτηριακό σύνολο υπενθυμίζοντας την μοναδική φυσιογνωμία του εμπνεόμενος και τον αντίστοιχο τίτλο.
The Mill Matsopoulos in Trikala is one of our country's most important monuments Industrial Heritage. Built in 1884 by brothers Agathocles, soon after the liberation of Thessaly. He was the first roller built in Greece and the largest in the Balkans, while next to him built the first pasta factory in the country.
In the years which followed ownership changed several times until he came to John Matsopoulos and after his death in 1977 in Trikala municipality, which co-funded by the European Union renovated.
Nowadays it is a dynamic cultural center, with many cultural activities take place there. In the central building mainly hosted art exhibitions and the other areas included the municipal theater, summer cinema, conference room and workshop art cultural organization of the municipality. Finally, in the area it operates elementary cafeteria where you can relax in a green environment.
In recent years, however, his reputation spread nationwide as "Mill of the Elves", the largest Christmas theme park with undeniable positive effects on the economy of the city.
But the (anti) aesthetic interventions which exists at the time, with huge volumes of plastic colorful kitsch interfere anarchically and unsightly buildings between the insalling, alter and injure "fatally" the architectural character of the monument.
So in another, quieter period I decided to photograph the magnificent building complex recalling the unique physiognomy inspired the corresponding title.
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Members of the pigeon family have a reputation for spreading disease, which is why we don't like them. But we hasten to dissuade you: pigeons are not as simple as they seem. As proof - facts about pigeons as a challenge to stereotypes.
As a rule, pigeons are perceived as very dirty birds, which makes us very worried when they are around. However, they are actually not as dirty as we think. We can say that pigeons, on the contrary, are quite clean than other creatures. They take care of themselves, and very carefully, cleaning parasites and dirt from their feathers. Of course, no one denies that they are carriers of diseases and parasites. For example, they can carry candidiasis, psittacosis, histoplasmosis. People can become infected with psittacosis just by inhaling air with bacteria; dust and food transmission of the pathogen is also possible. But exactly the same diseases are transmitted to other wild or urban birds, animals, and also through droppings. But we all only talk about the fact that they are the culprits; in reality, as you understand, everything is not as we see.
Wild pigeons have a good memory - only, unlike homing pigeons, they remember not the way home, but their offenders. Another feature of pigeons is that they can distinguish people’s faces well. This can make them dangerous and vindictive vigilantes. To come to this conclusion, scientists conducted an experiment.
Another experiment studying the memory of pigeons was conducted by scientists at the Mediterranean Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Pigeons were shown a series of cards in pairs. As a result, their average ranges from 800 to 1200 combinations, demonstrating excellent memorization ability.
We can talk endlessly about carrier pigeons.
The first mention of a dove is found on clay tablets of Mesopotamia, created almost 5 thousand years ago. The remains of pigeons were found along with the burials of ancient Egyptians. And if today people tend to treat pigeons with disdain, then in many ancient cultures the dove was considered a religious symbol.
This quarry gained a reputation for poor working conditions and was known locally as "The Slaughterhouse". Between 1875 and 1893 there were 21 deaths in Cwmorthin out of a workforce of around 550. Following the passing of the Metalliferous Mines Act 1872, all mines were required to keep records of their operations, and to report fatal injuries, some details of the men and boys employed, and the output of the mine. Like many slate mines, Cwmorthin argued that it was a quarry, and that the law did not apply to them.
Life in the barracks at most quarries was uncomfortable but at Cwmorthin conditions were generally considered the worst in the industry. They were overcrowded, damp and squalid and there were no washing facilities apart from the nearest stream.

I live less of an hour from Mabry Mill the most photographed subject on the Blue Ridge Parkway. So at least once a year I feel obliged to go there. Fall season is the best time of the year because the trees color and reflections in the water create a special atmosphere. Late afternoon is also the best time to be there because the side light and the fact there are no hundreds of people....
Mabry Mill was originally constructed in 1905 by Ed and Lizzie Mabry. It was in operation by 1908 and was used by many in the region who brought their corn to be ground. The mill had a lack of water power, earning it a reputation as a "slow mill," but because of this, the mill would not grind too fast or scorch the corn, which resulted in the Mabry's mill being known for producing some of the finest tasting corn meal in the region. Ed would eventually construct a sawmill and woodworking shop alongside the grist mill, and a number of the tools he used in the shop were powered by the waterwheel. He would also go on to build a nearby blacksmith shop (and a distillery for Moonshine...). Ed Mabry passed away in 1938 and the National Park Service purchased the property from Lizzie. The Park Service completely restored the facility in 1942 and continues to preserve the area as a celebration of the rich culture of Virginia's Blue Ridge.The mill still stands as a unique symbol of the region's heritage and has attracted visitors from around the world (www.visitroanokeva.com/things-to-do/blue-ridge-parkway/ma...).
This is for now my last image on the Blue Ridge Parkway series.
The reputation of Magnasco,one of the most individual eighteenth-century painters,resides in the exuberance of his of his technique and the fantasy of his subject matter.Here people from the fringes of society have gathered to watch the spectacle of a man trying to teach a magpie to sing-an impossible task.The picture was probably painted when Magnasco was working for the Medici in Florence and was in contact with Sebastiano Ricci-the MET

KAKLIK CAVE - or PAMUKKALE under ground
Pamukkale has a world-wide reputation. Kaklik Cave on the other hand is less known. Although I am a native of the region, it is only recently that I have come to know Kaklik Cave. It has been discovered in recent years. Kaklik Cave is 36 km from Denizli, a city in southwest Turkey. If you are travelling eastward from Denizli take a detour of 4 km when you reach Kaklik intersection on the highway. Just follow the road signs to the cave. It's located at 37°51'22.25"N 29°23'6.59"E.
Chemical sedimentation processes similar to those found in Pamukkale are also at work here in Kaklik Cave. There is a slight difference to the composition of the water though. Upon entering the cave you smell a strong scent of sulphur or rotten egg. I am not a chemist or geologist, so I can only make an educated guess. Here there is a greenish formation on the rocks that may be due to bacterial growth or merely a chemical process. The pools and travertines are stunningly similar to those in Pamukkale although at a smaller scale. Unfortunately Wikipedia has no entry on the subject at the time of this writing.
Kaklık Mağarası veya Yeraltı Pamukkale'si
Pamukale'yi duymayanımız yoktur. Ama bir Denizli'li olarak Kaklık Mağarası'nı ben de son yıllarda duydum, ve ilk defa 2006'da gördüm. O zaman uygun bir kameram olmadığı için resmini çekememiştim. Şimdi çok şükür bir NIKON D60 ım var. Dün bol bol resim çektim.
Denizli - Afyon karayolunun 32. km'sinde trafik ışıklarından sola sapıp 4 km gidiyorsunuz. Düz ovada mağara görecegim diye beklemeyin, çünki mağara yer altında. Haritadaki yeri 37°51'22.25"N 29°23'6.59"E. Burada Pamukkale'deki kimyasal sedimentasyona benzer bir reaksiyon söz konusu olabilir. Travertenler Pamukkale'dekilere çok benziyor, sadece daha küçük. Konunun uzmanı olan arkadaşların katkılarını buraya ilave edebilirim.
Castel dell'Ovo is a seafront castle in Naples, located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in the Middle Ages as a great sorcerer and predictor of the future. In the legend, Virgil put a magical egg into the foundations to support the fortifications. It remains there along with his bones, and had this egg been broken, the castle would have been destroyed and a series of disastrous events for Naples would have followed. The castle is located between the districts of San Ferdinando and Chiaia, facing Mergellina across the sea.
The Castel dell'Ovo is the oldest castle in Naples. The island of Megaride was where Greek colonists from Cumae founded the original nucleus of the city in the 6th century BC. Its location offers an excellent view of the Naples waterfront and the surrounding area.
In the 1st century BC, the Roman patrician Lucius Licinius Lucullus built part of the magnificent villa, later called Castellum Lucullanum, on the site.
Fortified by Valentinian III in the mid-5th century, it was the site to which the last western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was exiled in 476. Eugippius founded a monastery on the site after 492.
The remains of the Roman-era structures and later fortifications were demolished by local residents in the 9th century to prevent their use by Saracen raiders. The first castle on the site was built by the Normans in the 12th century. Roger the Norman, conquering Naples in 1140, made Castel dell'Ovo his seat. The importance of the Castel dell'Ovo began to decline when king Charles I of Anjou (r. 1266–85) built a new castle, Castel Nuovo, and moved his court there. Castel dell'Ovo became the seat of the Royal Chamber and of the State Treasury. It also served as a prison. In 1191, Empress Constance of the Holy Roman Empire, daughter of Roger, was captured during her struggle with her nephew Tancred, King of Sicily for the crown of Sicily, and Sicilian Chancellor Matthew d'Ajello wrote to Tancred persuading him to lock her in the island Castel dell'Ovo to be better-guarded and secluded from people, and wrote to nobleman Aligerno Cottone in charge of defending Naples ordering him to "ut imperatricem in Castro Salvatoris ad mare benè custodiat" (guard the empress in "Castle of the Savior" (i. e. Castel dell'Ovo) in the sea properly). However, Constance was released the next year and finally became Queen of Sicily. In 1268, King Conradin was imprisoned here before his trial and execution. Also imprisoned here were children of Manfred, King of Sicily after his failure. In 1381, Queen Joanna I of Naples was also imprisoned there for a time after having been forced to surrender to her enemy Charles of Durazzo, the future Charles III of Naples, before her assassination.
The current appearance dates from the Aragonese domination (15th century). It was struck by French and Spanish artillery during the Italian Wars; in the Neapolitan Republic of 1799 its guns were used by rebels to deter the philo-Bourbon population of the city.
After a long period of decay, the site got its current appearance following an extensive renovation project started in 1975.
In the 19th century, a small fishing village called Borgo Marinaro, which is still extant, developed around the castle's eastern wall. It is now known for its marina and restaurants. The castle is rectangular in plan, approximately 200 by 45 metres at its widest, with a high bastion overlooking the causeway that connects it to the shore; the causeway is more than 100 metres long and a popular location for newlyweds to have their wedding photos taken. Several buildings are often used for exhibitions and other special events inside the castle walls. Behind the castle, there is a long promontory once probably used as a docking area. A large round tower stands outside the castle walls to the southeast.
Underwater archaeologists have discovered what appears to be a 2500-year-old harbor associated with the origins of the first Greek settlement of Paleopolis (which preceded the ancient city of Neapolis, now Naples) in the sea next to the castle. Four tunnels, a 10-foot-wide street demonstrating furrows consistent with cart traffic, and a trench likely built as a defensive structure for soldiers were submerged immediately adjacent to the castle. The discovery was announced in March 2018, after the September 2017 identification of the original port of Neapolis.
Perhaps you will know by reputation this small jewel of only 30 residents.
Getting to Bagno Vignoni is always magical and this day in August there was a wonderful light.
-A rectangular basin, of sixteenth-century origin, which contains a source of hot and steaming thermal water that comes out of the underground stratum of volcanic origins. Since the time of the Etruscans and then of the Romans - as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds - the baths of Bagno Vignoni have been frequented by illustrious figures, such as Pope Pius II, Catherine of Siena, Lorenzo de 'Medici and many artists who had elected the village as a holiday home.-Wiki
it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagno_Vignoni
Throughout this time this village has remained unchanged.
Once the thermal bath was made here. Today, there are spas, or you can immerse yourself in the small path of hot water (only the feet) that crosses the village and heads towards the steep escarpment of the Parco naturale dei Mulini
In 1982 the Soviet director Andrej Arsen'evič Tarkovskij, exiled for some years in Tuscany, set many scenes from the movie Nostalghia in Bagno Vignoni, which the following year won the Grand Prix du cinéma de création at the Cannes festival.

You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you

Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that
Is it too soon to do this yet?

The most fearsome member of Africa’s big 5 isn’t the lion, or even the elephant, but the buffalo. Known for its fiercely protective nature and incredible strength, Buffalos are considered one of the most dangerous animals to encounter in the wild — and for good reason!
Their unpredictable temperament, coupled with their massive size and sharp horns, has earned them a reputation for charging with surprising speed and ferocity. This aggressive behaviour is why big game hunters added the buffalo to the list of big 5 animals, referring to the five most dangerous animals in Africa to hunt, alongside the lion, leopard, elephant, and rhinoceros.
Its haunted reputation stems from two main stories. One recounts a fatal night in January, 1815. A party of soldiers visited their friend, the first lighthouse keeper John Paul Radelmüller. When the lighthouse keeper saw his guests were becoming too drunk, he refused to produce more liquor. The enraged soldiers beat Radelmüller to death and escape along Blockhouse Bay. His body was allegedly cut into pieces and buried around the islands.
The other story says that Radelmüller simply vanished in 1815. In 1893, the lighthouse keeper at the time allegedly found parts of a human skeleton buried close to the lighthouse. Many believed it to be Radelmüller’s unfound remains, but this story remains controversial.

Here is another rescan of a previously-posted Flickr image. During our intense 1995 chase of the Union Pacific E units on the Oregon Trunk, there was one stretch where we drove pedal to the metal.
After we shot the train near Moody along the Columbia River, we made a 51-mile sprint to Sherar down US 97 and Oregon 216. The curvy drive into the Deschutes River Canyon on highway 216 was especially challenging. From Sherar, we backtracked a couple of miles along the Deschutes River to the Twin Bridges, using the road built on the former Des Chutes Railroad (UP) grade. Since this rocky road has a well-deserved reputation for destroying tires, we took it as easy as we dared.
The Twin Bridges mark a spot where the Oregon Trunk crosses from the west bank of the Deschutes River, goes through a tunnel on the east bank, and then immediately crosses the river back to the west side of the canyon. Roughly 44 miles out of Wishram, it is one of the definitive locations on the Oregon Trunk, with numerous angles for photography. Today, it would be a fine location to fire up a drone.
We made it to the Twin Bridges in time for this shot of the train. Fortunately, no state troopers, flat tires or rattlesnakes were encountered in the creation of this image. Our next photo would be near South Junction, just a fun filled 42-mile drive away.
