Les chevaux n'ont rien à faire dans un cirque, ni aucun autre animal, d'ailleurs. Mais il y a toujours une exception qui confirme la règle.
Le cirque Knie a bâti sa réputation sur ses chevaux, en grande partie. Lipizzans, Frisons, Andalous, etc, la famille Knie a toujours vécu avant tout pour les chevaux et je suis obligée de reconnaître que leurs chevaux sont magnifiques et fort bien traités.
I don't like to see horses and any other animal performing in a circus. It's not the place of this wonderful animal. But I'm obliged to admit that the Knie's circus has always had beautiful horses which are very well treated !

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.

The reputation of this “resistance nest”, situated in Colleville, stems from the fact that the US landing forces suffered enormous losses as a result of the defensive fire of this strongpoint.
I have to remind a lot of kids around Halloween that black cats aren't scary and they aren't bad luck. Black cats have the most docile characteristics of any cats genetically so the idea that they would have developed a bad reputation is not based on Science or reality!

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.

Spirit Island enjoys a worldwide reputation, and is one of the most famous and photographed views in the Canadian Rockies. Truly a spiritual experience to stand here.
Back from trips to Yellowstone, Tetons and Canadian Rockies. What a triple treat! Met many new and long-time flickr friends. Smiles by the miles. Plenty of raw images to work thru the upcoming winter. Now time to get to work....

Thistles have a bad reputation for their spiny personality, but these formidable wildflowers shine as favorite nectar and host plants for many bees and butterflies, including swallowtails. This one seemed popular with a Palamedes Swallowtail butterfly along with a skipper, don't know the kind and two little green bees (Or wasp)
enjoying its Bounty. Found a Bumble bee on another one. A Monarch Butterfly on yet another and a black swallow tail butterfly on another one.
The roadside in Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Osceola County is lined with thousands or at least hundreds of these prickly wildflowers!
Don't know what kind of thistle it is either.
Update: Robert Simons tells me this is the native Florida thistle known variously as purple thistle, yellow thistle, and bull thistle. The Latin name is Cirsium horridulum. Thanks Robert!
Also been advised that the Skipper is a "Twin-spot skipper".
Thanks to Mary Keim for identification on the skipper.

'My Reputation has never been Worst... So you Must Like Me for Me.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCXGJQYZ9JA
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....

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!
I don't give a damn about my reputation
You're living in the past; it's a new generation
And a girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no, not me

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):

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. 😉

I discovered this car in the Kreta quarter, a substandard housing neighbourhood in Favoriten, the 10th district of Vienna. Favoriten hasn't exactly a good reputation, but the Kreta quarter's reputation is even much worse.
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.

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
The United States has a well-deserved reputation as a home for innovative and disruptive technologies, and during the turn of the 20th century, there was perhaps nothing more disruptive than the new-fangled technology known as the automobile. Eager to get in on the ground floor, car companies of every kind began sprouting up all over the country, often in the most unlikely of places. This included the small city of New Britain, Connecticut, where the Corbin Motor Vehicle Corporation called home from 1904 to 1912.
Though it produced just 600 vehicles during its 8-year tenure, Corbin left an indelible mark on a city that prides itself on its manufacturing history. In fact, New Britain is best known as the Hardware City, as it is home to the world headquarters of tool-making conglomerate Stanley Black & Decker. But it was the American Hardware Corporation, in conjunction with the Russel & Erwin Company, that bought out the Bristol Motor Car Company (also in Connecticut) and moved it to New Britain under the new name, Corbin Motor Vehicles.
The name was derived from Philip Corbin, founder and owner of American Hardware, as well as the driving force behind the formation of the car company. Having acquired the rights to a clever air-cooled engine design that employed a horizontal fan blowing air over 56 rows of steel fins around each cylinder casting, Corbin began production of two models priced between $2,000 and $2,650, which is about three-times the cost of Henry Ford’s famous Model T. The bespoke touring cars were soon joined by a roadster and a seven-passenger limousine.
As we already noted however, there were many other automakers competing for the same, limited pool of wealthy buyers, so Corbin began entering his automobiles in races to showcase their performance. A Corbin would come in second place at the Dead Horse Hill Climb in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1908, reaching a top speed of 51 MPH during the mile-long, uphill race. Not exactly record-setting, as in 1906 the steam-powered Stanley Rocket went 127 MPH (no relation to New Britain’s Stanley Works), but it did encourage Corbin to enter the 1910 Vanderbilt Cup Race in Long Island.
By this time, Corbin had switched his cars to water-cooled engines as the technology evolved, and for the Vanderbilt Cup he hired famed racer Joe Matson. The Corbin “Cannonball” as it was called performed well for the first ten laps of the race, but a broken water pipe forced its early retirement, and Corbin settled for a 24th place finish out of 30 racers.
In a somewhat prophetic ending, as within two years Corbin production came to a halt in the Hardware City. Henry Ford’s Model T was dominating the market by this time, and without the funding to expand and compete, the company quietly closed up shop and became a car parts and service center.
At its height, Corbin had showrooms in its home city, as well as Manhattan and Boston, but today there are just a handful of examples that survive in small local car museums here and there. This includes the Corbin Cannonball, which has been restored and preserved for more than 100 years after it’s loss at the Vanderbilt Cup.
It’s a small but cherished piece of the history of the Hardware City.

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.
In the final scene of the trailer, see this square....

The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.
Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy.

Heiwa-no-Taki ("Peace Falls"), located in Nishi Ward in western Sapporo. The place has a reputation of being haunted, so perhaps an angry spirit cut down the tree and threw it into the wild waters.

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.

Santorini is an island whose reputation precedes it. Many photographers consider it the most magical of the many Greek islands.
On this legendary island in the Cyclades, its many contrasts delight: black earth against whitewashed homes clinging to the cliff-side, or wild volcano-created natural sculptures seen against glorious deep blue seas.
Santorini was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history which occurred about 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep.
Santorini, historically known as Thera, is in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast from the Greek mainland.
The island forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group, with a current population of around 16,000.
By the late 1920s, Italy's Isotta Fraschini had earned a reputation for both performance and luxury among discerning (and well-heeled) American buyers. In 1928, chassis 1353, an Isotta Fraschini 8A built in highest-performance Super Spinto trim, was sent to American coachbuilder LeBaron to receive a boattail cabriolet body, said to be the first constructed by the New York firm. On Sunday, this stunning Italian-American classic with ties to an aviation entrepreneur and a silent film star captured Best-of-Show honors at the Pacific Northwest Concours d'Elegance, held on the grounds of the LeMay - America's Car Museum.
Now owned by Peter Boyle of Oil City, Pennsylvania, the Isotta Fraschini 8A SS was first displayed at the 1928 New York Auto Show, where it caught the attention of aviation pioneer Harry Williams and his wife, actress Helen Marguerite Clark (whose looks inspired Walt Disney's original Snow White). Williams, who co-founded the Wedell-Williams Aviation Company (which produced racing airplanes and brought airmail and passenger services to the Southeast) was so smitten that he purchased the car at the show, despite a price tag said to be in the $20,000 range. (even more expensive than a Duesenberg at the time!)
The businessman was reportedly a daredevil on the ground as well as in the air, and there's little doubt that he tested the 8A SS's guaranteed top speed of 100 MPH, courtesy of its 160-horsepower inline eight-cylinder engine. One popular tale had Williams receiving a $10 fine for speeding through a small Louisiana town; at his court appearance, the millionaire businessman reportedly peeled a $20 bill from his roll, placed it on the table and said, "Here's $20, now don't bother me on the way back."
Fortune, however, does not always favor the bold, and Williams was killed in a 1936 plane crash that also claimed the life of a company test pilot. By the time of his death, his partners in the Wedell-Williams Aviation Company had also perished in aviation accidents, and sole control of the company fell to Helen Marguerite Clark. With little interest in running her husband's company, Clark promptly sold the business to Eastern Air Lines, owned by World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker. What happened to the 1928 Isotta Frashcini 8A SS is less clear, but by the 1960s the car was in the possession of Florida collector Jim Thomas.
Boyle acquired the car in 2005, with less than 23,000 miles on the odometer. A full restoration came next, and after six-plus decades out of the public eye, the Isotta Fraschini made its reappearance at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It captured a second-place award in its category there, but then went on to take top honors at the 2007 Dayton Concours d'Elegance and the 2007 Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance. t was a good day for Boyle, who also took home a category win with his 1938 Steyr 220 Roadster, which captured the Most Elegant Award (Open) at Sunday's show.
