This Ford AA truck has been a permanent resident for several years outside the car-themed Quaker Steak & Lube bar/restaurant along 49th Street N, on the border of Pinellas Park and Clearwater. After its condition deteriorated, Jim’s Body Shop, Seminole was entrusted with its restoration and it looks pretty smart now.
A rather dreary start to the day, rained overnight for the first time in weeks. But looking out through the glass door this morning our resident Robin came right upto the patio doors with what looks like nest material in it beak. Not afraid at all, if anything curious at wht it could see, amazing to watch.

.... Unfortunately for the City of Toronto and its residents, the eagerly anticipated 2024 Solar Eclipse was obscured by cloud cover. Still, we made the most of it, hoping for a glimpse of the celestial wonder and watching daylight give way to darkness. The solar eclipse in Toronto peaked at 3:19 pm, Toronto was just on the peripheral edge of 100% totality, receiving 99.9 % of the solar eclipse. ....
©2008 Phillip Nesmith - My father owns a trailer park in middle Tennessee south east of Nashville. I spent my high school years living there and am thankful for the simple, yet happy life.
This image is of Jesus. It seems that he is the resident of one of the now dilapidated trailers on the property that have fallen into disrepair. At least the rent is low.
La résidence universitaire Canot a été construite entre 1929 et 1936 par l'architecte René Tournier. En ne s'alignant pas directement sur le quai mais en créant un bâtiment en forme de "V" très ouvert, il forme une cour extérieure. Cet édifice Labélisé "patrimoine du XXème siècle" offre, côté Doubs, un panorama sur la citadelle et les collines boisées, caractérisant la géographie de la ville de Besançon.
Les modifications et rénovations réalisées en façade sont unifiées par l'application d'une couleur unitaire gris clair sur tous les éléments. Cette démarche donne une identité propre à l'intervention nouvellement réalisée en respectant le bâtiment d'origine. La pierre a été nettoyée avec soin pour gommer les effets du temps et les traces noires de la pollution.
i don't know exactly who she's playing but i think she's wearing an outfit that you have to unlock... also she was hanging out with this group that was clearly cosplaying resident evil...
Both residents and tourists of the bay area often seem let down when they discover that the Golden Gate Bridge is buried in a sea of fog. I'm always relatively hopeful that I'll see something I hadn't considered...
The light was.... a blend of apocalyptic fright and utter beauty. Were there a portal to another galaxy... my dollar would be on this bridge, at this moment.

Rue de la Couronnerie with Porte Malbec, one of the medieval gates of the fortified village of Rocamadour, Lot, Occitania, France
Some background information:
Rocamadour is a commune and pilgrimage site in the department of Lot in southwestern France. The village, which has more than 600 residents, is nestled to a steep rock above the gorge of the Alzou river, a tributary of the Dordogene river. It is located in the far north of the Occitania region and at the heart of the natural preserve Causses du Quercy, about 60 km (37 miles) to the south of the city of Brive-la-Gaillarde and about 166 km (103 miles) to the north of the city of Toulouse.
Rocamadour and its many caves already housed people in the Paleolithic as shown in the cave drawings of the Grotte des Merveilles. The Grotte de Linars cave and its porch served as an underground necropolis and a habitat in the Bronze Age. During the Iron Age, the Cadurques people arrived from middle Germany. In the 8th century BC, they colonised the current department of Lot while using their iron weapons.
In the Middle Ages, Rocamadour as it still exists today, was erected on three levels. These levels reflect the three orders of medieval society: the knights on top, linked to religious clerics in the middle and the lay workers at the foot of the rock near the river. Documents mention that in 1105 a small chapel was built in a shelter of the cliff at a place called Rupis Amatoris, at the limit of the territories of the Benedictine abbeys of Saint-Martin at Tulle and Saint-Pierre at Marcilhac-sur-Célé.
In 1112, Eble de Turenne, Abbot of Tulle, settled in Rocamadour. In 1119, a first donation was made by Eudes, Comte de la Marche. In 1148, the first miracle of Rocamadour was announced and the location began to attract pilgrims to the Virgin Mary of Rocamadour. The 12th-century book Livre des Miracles written by a monk from the sanctuary illustrates that at that time Rocamadour had already become famous as a place of pilgrimage.
In 1159, King Henry II of England, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine, came to Rocamadour to thank the Virgin Mary for the healing of his wife. The statue of the Black Madonna dates from the 12th century. Géraud d'Escorailles , who was Rocamadour’s abbot from 1152 to 1188, built the religious buildings, which still can be seen today on Rocamadour’s second level, financed by many donations from visitors. These works were finished at the end of the 12th century.
In 1166, an excavation for a grave in front of the entrance to the chapel of the Virgin uncovered an intact body, presented as that of Saint Amadour. Rocamadour had finally found its patron saint. At least four stories, more or less tinged with legend, presented Saint Amadour as being close to Jesus. The body was burned during the French Wars of Religion and today only fragments of bones remain, on view in the crypt of Saint-Amadour. Saint Amadour is also the saint, from whom the place derives ist name, as "Roca de Amadour" simply means "Rock of Amadour" in English.
In 1211, the pontifical legate during the Albigensian Crusade, Arnaud Amalric, came to spend the winter in Rocamadour. In addition, in 1291, Pope Nicholas IV granted three bulls and forty day indulgences for site visitors. The end of the 13th century saw the height of Rocamadour's influence and the completion of the buildings. At that time, the castle was protected by three towers, a wide moat and numerous lookouts. And at that time, Rocamadour had also become one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Western Europe.
But the 14th century saw Rocamadour’s decline. In 1317, the monks left Rocamadour. The site was then administered by a chapter of canons appointed by the bishop. In the fourteenth century, a cooling climate, famines, epidemics like the Black Death ravaged Europe and hence, also the area of Rocamadour. In 1427, reconstruction was started, but without financial or human resources. A huge rock crushed the chapel of Notre-Dame, which was rebuilt in 1479 by Denys de Bar, Bishop of Tulle.
Subsequently, during the French Wars of Religion, the iconoclastic passage of Protestant mercenaries in 1562 caused the destruction of religious buildings and their relics. Rocamadour was burned and looted, while many statues, paintings, bells, ornaments and jewels were destroyed. Even the relics were desecrated and destroyed, including the body of Saint Amadour. According to witnesses, the Protestant captain Jean Bessonia broke it with a blacksmith's hammer, saying: "I am going to break you, since you did not want to burn". During the French Revolution, the site was looted once again.
The Via Averna, a byway of the Via Podiensis and hence, one of the Ways of St James to Santiago de Compostela, leads through Rocamadour. For that reason, Rocamadour was also listed by UNESCO in 1998 as part of the World Heritage Site "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France".
Since the early 20th century, Rocamadour has become more of a tourist destination than a pilgrimage center, although pilgrimage continues and remains important. The site's gravity-defying churches and the Black Madonna statue remain a spiritual draw for both Catholic pilgrims and for visitors who practice earth-based or New Age religions, being drawn to stories of Rocamadour's "strange energies" and pre-Christian origins.
By the way, if you look up in Rocamadour’s monastic second level, you will most likely see a sword stuck in the rocks. It is said, that this sword is Durendal, the sword of Roland, a legendary paladin and partially historical officer of Charlemagne in French epic literature. The sword is famous for its hardness and sharpness. Legend has it that in an attempt to break Durendal, Roland cut a huge gash in the mountainside with just one blow.
Another local legend holds that instead of dying in Iberia with Durendal hidden under his body, Roland called on the Archangel Michael for assistance and with the help of the Archangel, was able to throw the sword several hundred kilometres across the border into France, where it came to rest in Rocamadour. Unfortunately the sword was stolen in 2024, not for the first time in history.
The commune of Rocamadour has also become a member of the association "The most beautiful villages of France" (in French: "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France"), which promotes small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage. Currently 176 villages throughout France are pooled under the umbrella of the organisation. Furthermore, Rocamadour is also known for its goat cheese of the same name.
The Polish town of Skarżysko-Kamienna has the White Eagle Museum which was established in 1969. Whilst my visit was a bit of a whistle-stop to see the preserved aircraft outside, there were certainly many military artefacts inside such as uniforms.
Here, we see two unusual types. In the foreground is a locally designed PZL TS-8 Bies marked as 0401 and behind a Yak-23, an early Soviet jet of which only 319 examples were built, mainly because the superior MiG-15 soon followed it.

Resident Evil 2 - Remake
- Camera tools by Otis_Inf
- Reshade for the DOF
- Lightroom for color grading
So it's been a long time since my last upload. A lot has happened in the last year and a half. First, I didn't play a lot of "photogenic" games (A lot of Street Fighter, Xcom 2, Dysco Elysium, Oxygen not included, Monster hunter) I did play Doom Eternal, Sekiro and other AAA games , but I just wanted to play those and not take photos.
But mostly it was life who kept me busy. Last year I took the decision to go back to school for studying photography. It wasn't an easy decision to take at 26, plus the school, I chose was on the other side of the world. But I did it, I dropped everything and moved from France to Canada last august and since then I'm officially a photography student, and I think it's the best decision I ever made. (You can see some of my real world photography here : www.instagram.com/marvin.serandrei/)
Moving forward, you will probably notice that I will use more Lightroom for color grading and use Reshade only for DoF, since it's more in line with my real world photography workflow, and the fact that I am way more effective with it.
That's all for me, stay safe guys, play a lot, have a good one and don't forget to wash your hands.
