Sorry Guy...
Fawkes: "Come on man. You can't drop me at such late notice."
Catesby: "Sorry Guido. But it's this rule of six thing. We don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. Plus, the 'terror threat', whatever that might be is at 'severe'.
*Fawkes trudges off*
Catesby: "Thank goodness he's gone. I had this terrible feeling that if we left it all to Fawkes, he would only ruin everything. I mean who's ever going to remember a name like Guido Fawkes".
Hello there. Relevant comments welcome but please do NOT post any link(s).
Every day, the ocean rewrites the rules. The tide shifts, the water rises and recedes, and with it, life in Zanzibar follows an ever-changing rhythm. For those who walk the shallows, the sea is more than just a backdrop - it is a provider, a battleground, a way of life.
I stood on the shore, camera in hand, watching locals wade through the water, scanning the seabed for fish, shellfish, or anything else the tide had left behind. Some moved with practiced ease, their feet knowing the ocean floor like an old friend. Others carried small spears or baskets, preparing to bring home their next meal or a catch to sell.
A few of them approached me, their hands full of the day’s harvest. They weren’t just fishing - they were negotiating, adapting, surviving. It struck me how different our lives were. For me, the sea was something to admire, to capture in a photograph. For them, it was their reality, their sustenance, their future.
The tides change every day, but for them, the routine remains: follow the water, gather what you can, and hope tomorrow’s ocean will be just as kind.

Singapore MARINA BAY SANDS
Power in YOUR hand-Canon EOS 500d
This SHOT fall on the GOLDEN Hour. I had not get hang of the total reflection image from the Marina Bay Sands so far to my taste n still waiting to chance another shot till the river totally die down motionlessly,that waswaiting till without any single activities from the busy Singapore River.
Now, no more river taxi cruising n the merlion had also stop it duty-splashing water out from it mounth..Lol! Is a joy for me to catch the complete stand still moment freeze just for those who make presence at that particular moments, a twilight edge switch between of time n space zone . Really wonderful to see it with ur true own eyes.
"Her kingdom was falling around her, but to fix it; she must go back to rewrite the roots of her past..."
Inspired by the TV show 'Stranger Things"
.My recent sentosa gantry shot was an explore,a re-creation to excercise few challenging angle to maximise composition that can be achieve rather than a straight shot we usually see here.
Of course i'm not at the best hour to produce the most beautiful result but at least it do give others a clear view of making use of natural elements to produce different catchy approach in future.
i belived by doing some good cropping it will produce outstanding view with the best magic hour apply. best luck for future shot!
I would recommend best time for early dusk n dawn as the soft early thin pinkiss of morning air would produce nicer touch as background, the dusk magic hour would again give another impressive impact u could try also.
just for an excuse, ..too bad as i arrive here pretty late for all this call shot after a series of tiring shot done in the late afternon with 2 other masterfull photographer.
si,ci SCARABOCCHIEREI sopra me stessa,a dir la verità....magari ,esce qualcosa di meglio della schifezza che sono,ORA.
“SECOND PHOTO CHALLENGE“
I decided to rewrite the description, because in the speed to send, I did not explain my central idea very well. When I read about the challenge and visited the fair, I had the opportunity to see several possibilities for creating a super and unique style. When I saw the mask, my first item, at the time I thought of a neko warrior and heroines, inspired by several animes (Naruto Ambu Hunters, Toradora, Ghost in the Shell, SAO), and something futuristic, like dystopic movies and at same time, in the fabrics i saw the blending tradition and innovation, a mix of youth with age-old stories and beliefs, and the style has emerged naturally. This outfit personally enchants me for the colors cheerful, happy, strong, and for passing an image of strength and delicacy at the same time.

Singapore Marina Bay Sands
....Power in ur hand, Canon EOS 500D..
Old vs New- Singapore's Iconic Merlion Vs Marina Bay Sands
As u all know Merlion is a statue with the head of a lion and body of a Mermaid, it's the symbol of Singapores .
Now, the heatted up latest iconic project- the Marina Bay Sands ,The Sands SkyPark is an awe-inspiring engineering wonder. This unique structural masterpiece, designed by visionary architect Moshe Safdie, floats atop the three soaring Marina Bay Sands hotel towers 200m in the sky.
Stretching longer than the Eiffel tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets, with an impressive 12,400 square meters of space, the Sands SkyPark can host up to 3900 people. The gravity-defying cantilever is one of the largest of its kind in the world. From this privileged observation deck, hundreds of visitors at a time can feast their eyes on the unforgettable panorama view. An absolute paradise in the sky, the Sands SkyPark features idyllic landscaped gardens that are home to 250 types of trees and 650 types of plants. An iridescent swimming pool links across the span of the three hotel towers, with a surreal infinity edge overlooking the city.
Home to luxury rooftop restaurants and lounges, the Sands SkyPark offers exclusive perks to hotel guests and a taste of the good life to lucky visitors. Whether you come for a gourmet meal, a refreshing cocktail, a heavenly dip in the pool, or to simply revel in the unsurpassed views of Singapore and the new national Gardens By The Bay, you will be forever captivated by the spellbinding Sands SkyPark
Known as Umschreibung - German for rewriting - this endless spiral staircase was created by Olafur Eliasson, a Danish-Icelandic artist, in 2004. Eliasson is famous for his worldwide modern sculpture and installations - typically incorporating water, light and/or air. This staircase rests in a courtyard of the KPMG accounting firm building in Munich, Germany. The Umschreibung rises roughly 30 ft and the four 90 degree turns help ensure that nobody will ever get any higher than that~!

This church is high priority for revisiting, rephotographing and rewriting.
There is a tradition that St Peter and St Paul vies with Holy Trinity at Long Melford, just 5 miles away, to be the finest of all Suffolk churches. Well, they are certainly the grandest. This, of course, is not quite the same thing, and anyone who chose one of these two as their favourite Suffolk church would probably be either from the village concerned, or from out of county. I do believe that Suffolk's two finest churches are 5 miles away from each other - but they are Blythburgh and Southwold, 30 miles away on the coast.
Suffolk has few more spectacular sights than St Peter and St Paul in its trim churchyard at the top of the hill, and Lavenham is a hilly place, set in hilly country. This was the heart of the cloth country, and villages all around produced the cloth that made the merchants of Lavenham wealthy, and in turn produced this magnificent 15th century building. If Holy Trinity at Long Melford was built with old money, this was built with new money.
Sheer perfection - from the outside, at least. St Peter and St Paul stands as a sentinel over the Suffolk cloth villages. A marvellous trick of making the church lift upwards is created by the larger windows at the east of the south aisle.
St Peter and St Paul, like St Mary at Stoke-by-Nayland, can be seen for miles around, its grand tower punctuating the skyline as a surprise as one travels the mid-Suffolk lanes. Rather more spectacularly, it rises proudly like a beacon as one approaches Lavenham on the road from Long Melford. It is more of a surprise, then, because we had found Holy Trinity Long Melford to be quite hidden.
St Peter and St Paul has the most urban setting of the great Suffolk cloth churches. This tames it slightly, and it is further tamed by being set in Suffolk's main tourist town. If this church was set in a more remote place, it would have quite a different character. Nonetheless, it is a tremendous sight. As many churches are, it is well worth a walk around the outside before you go in. This a building at once solid and magnificent. It has a tremendous unity and integrity that Long Melford cannot match. The aisles, chapels, chancel and tower cluster around the nave, giving an impression of a fortified city.
The architect may very well have been John Wastell, who built Great St Mary in Cambridge, which is very similar. A marvellous trick of making the south aisle chapel windows larger than the south aisle windows encourages the feeling of a building that lifts upwards. This building is very late perpendicular. It was probably not complete until 1530, on the very eve of the Reformation.
The ancient font offsets what appear to be Victorian arcades. In fact, they're genuine. That's what you get for using the finest building materials.
As we step into the church itself, we have a quite different impression to that of Long Melford, or indeed any of the great Suffolk churches. This is a much more solid, darker building, the smell of wood-polish and coolness of stone being more prominent than any of the lightness and riches we might expect from the exterior. We will try to ignore the gift shop that spreads itself across the west end; I think the siting of this shop is disgraceful. So, join us as we turn towards the east. Looking upwards we are immediately struck by the sense of being in a Victorian building, because the precisely chiselled patterns of the arcade, the darkness of the wood and richness of the windows recall similar aspects of Victorian restorations. But this is an illusion.
The Lady chapel. Nice windows, shame about the glass. This was probably the Spring chantry. In fact, the quality of the materials used in the arcades is so high, that the carvings look as if they were done recently.
Bearing in mind that this church is half a century newer than Long Melford, Blythburgh, Eye or Southwold, it is still over 450 years old, and the condition is remarkable.
The dark woodwork, on closer inspection, is not heavy at all. It is the most beautiful light and bubbly screenwork, and formed parcloses to chantry chapels. One can only hope that the person who gave the order for it to be stained and polished lived to regret it.
The Springs were Lavenham's richest family, and donors of this church. The parclose screen in the north aisle was to their chantry.
Another screen in the south aisle was possibly intended as a chantry chapel for the clothier Thomas Spourne, although his remains do not lie here. In the ferment of the 1530's, it must already have been unclear if this church could ever be fully used for the purposes for which it was intended.
Not far from the church stands the Guildhall, completed in the 1530s and never used much at all for its original purpose before the Reformation swept the guilds and the chantries and the priests away. But for a few short years, the guild of St Mary maintained a chantry altar and priest here. The hall is a museum now.
And today, St Peter and St Paul is a splendid church. It has not been untouched; witness some of the most hideous, most truly awful 19th century stained glass windows in the otherwise lovely Lady chapel. The hand of the Victorians fell heavily here.
But this building is a document of the history of the Church of England, its completion coinciding almost exactly with the birth of that institution. It is a monument to Anglican triumphalism, and one can no more imagine Thomas Spring and his contemporaries saying their rosaries and attending Mass here than one can imagine the gift shop being banished or the floors and woodwork going unpolished. Anyone interested in the development of a civic church over the last 500 years needs to come to Lavenham.
Lavenham has several websites; perhaps the most useful starting points are the Lavenham Index and Welcome to Lavenham. Courtesy of the second of these, you can download here a zip file of two minutes of Lavenham bells. The site also has other audio files.
Also, visit the entry for St Peter and St Paul at Dave Postle's Images of Churches and Buildings in Suffolk site.
St Peter and St Paul, Lavenham, is to be found on the A1141 Hadleigh to Bury St Edmunds road. The church is at the top end of the town, towards Long Melford.

Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay is a waterside building located on six hectares of waterfront land alongside Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River, purpose-built to be the centre for performing arts for the island nation of Singapore. Taking its name from the nearby Esplanade, it contains a Concert Hall which seats about 1,600 and a Theatre with a capacity of about 2,000 for the performing arts.
The unique architectural design has been said to have an appearance similar to either a durian (a tropical fruit) or the eyes of a fly. Some Singaporeans casually refer to the Esplanade as "The Durian" or "The Big Durian" or also "The Durian Shell".
Wherelse, at the far end, the round visible lighted wheel:
" Singapore Flyer" offers you breathtaking, 360° panoramic views of Singapore and beyond (opening in early 2008)
Located at Marina Bay, it sits astride a three-storey Retail Terminal with an exciting array of retail and F&B choices. A central atrium opens out to a lush tropical rainforest, while an open-air theatre hosts live performances. Adding to the buzz of sights, sounds and activities will be a 210-metre long waterfront dining promenade
Standing at a stunning 165 metres, you will be able to experience remarkable scenes of the Singapore skyline: the magnificent Marina Bay, towering skyscrapers, tropical greenery, and the bright lights and non-stop action against the beautiful skies

The Power in ur hand . Canon 500D
The Helix Bridge, previously was known to be call-", the Double Helix Bridge" is a state of art passage for pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre with Marina South into the Marina Bay Sands area in Singapore. It was officially opened on yesterday, April 24- 2010.
It is located beside the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and is accompanied by a vehicular bridge, known as the Bayfront Bridge. Soon, the New Waterfront Promenade will be the next highlight contender to complete the lineup taking Singapore into exceptional level with beautiful scene
The design consortium is an international team comprising Australian architects the Cox Group and engineers Arup, and Singapore based Architects 61. The bridge is expected to be a focal point for the community, linking cultural, recreational and entertainment facilities in the area and complements the overall pedestrian scheme of Marina Bay. The bridge also functions as a gallery where childrens' paintings and drawings are exhibited for public viewing.
Canopies (made of fritted-glass and perforated steel mesh) are incorporated along parts of the inner spiral to provide shade for pedestrians. The bridge has five viewing platforms sited at strategic locations which provide stunning views of the Singapore skyline and events taking place within Marina Bay. At night, the bridge will be illuminated by a series of lights that highlight the double-helix structure, thereby creating a special visual experience for the visitors.

Bearing in mind that this church is half a century newer than Long Melford, Blythburgh, Eye or Southwold, it is still over 450 years old, and the condition is remarkable.
The dark woodwork, on closer inspection, is not heavy at all. It is the most beautiful light and bubbly screenwork, and formed parcloses to chantry chapels. One can only hope that the person who gave the order for it to be stained and polished lived to regret it.
The Springs were Lavenham's richest family, and donors of this church. The parclose screen in the north aisle was to their chantry.
Another screen in the south aisle was possibly intended as a chantry chapel for the clothier Thomas Spourne, although his remains do not lie here. In the ferment of the 1530's, it must already have been unclear if this church could ever be fully used for the purposes for which it was intended.
Not far from the church stands the Guildhall, completed in the 1530s and never used much at all for its original purpose before the Reformation swept the guilds and the chantries and the priests away. But for a few short years, the guild of St Mary maintained a chantry altar and priest here. The hall is a museum now.
And today, St Peter and St Paul is a splendid church. It has not been untouched; witness some of the most hideous, most truly awful 19th century stained glass windows in the otherwise lovely Lady chapel. The hand of the Victorians fell heavily here.
But this building is a document of the history of the Church of England, its completion coinciding almost exactly with the birth of that institution. It is a monument to Anglican triumphalism, and one can no more imagine Thomas Spring and his contemporaries saying their rosaries and attending Mass here than one can imagine the gift shop being banished or the floors and woodwork going unpolished. Anyone interested in the development of a civic church over the last 500 years needs to come to Lavenham.
Lavenham has several websites; perhaps the most useful starting points are the Lavenham Index and Welcome to Lavenham. Courtesy of the second of these, you can download here a zip file of two minutes of Lavenham bells. The site also has other audio files.
Also, visit the entry for St Peter and St Paul at Dave Postle's Images of Churches and Buildings in Suffolk site.
St Peter and St Paul, Lavenham, is to be found on the A1141 Hadleigh to Bury St Edmunds road. The church is at the top end of the town, towards Long Melford.
I had to rewrite the titles for these next few scans, as it was only when I studied one close up and noticed the legal address that I remembered these were taken in Shearings ownership !
Gordon Roberts had moved his Gwalia operation from central Llandudno to this new larger site on Tremarl Industrial Estate 'up the Junction' in early 1990, only for Shearings to come in with an offer to buy the firm, which happened in July. Nothing had outwardly changed by the time of this visit, other than the legal lettering showing 'Shearings Ltd, Miry Lane, Wigan'. Then 18 months later, it all changed again, and Shearings sold the depot to Ossie Blythin in March 1992. But that, as they say, is another story ....
Bedford YMT WRA 135S had been with Gwalia for a couple of years, but had been new to Nottinghamshire operator Alan Cartledge. It was one of a number of vehicles from this spotlessly clean fleet which passed to Prospect Coaches of Lye early in 1991, once Shearings had begun to draft in replacements.

. . . Femdom Tale . . .
Chapter: Pairings in Femdom
Pairings in Femdom can't break the laws of nature and defy hypergamy.
Mutation Matching?
" Possible, euphoric, beyond dreams... yet ultimately fragile. It cannot sustain itself in the long run. "
In her Femdom realm, desires took flight like wild birds freed from cages. Dominants found their perfect match in willing submissives, their energies colliding in a whirlwind of power and passion. Mutations, both subtle and profound, blossomed under her guidance, a testament to the untapped depths of human longing.
In the clandestine halls held sway as the undisputed domina of mutation matching. Here, fantasies ceased to be mere whims and instead transformed into tangible realities. For those who dared to seek her counsel, the possibilities were endless, and ecstasy knew no bounds under her skillful divine hand.
These pairings were the best experiments she had discovered. But in the end, no matter how good or heavenly they felt, they had to end. Her man wondered, asking with regret, "Why?" What made this pairing fail?
She replied with a smile, "No regrets, darling, we did our best. The joy was beyond imagination. Just that, in the end, this imaginary paradise would just have to end and be taken away by nature and reality. The truth is that this kind of pairing will never be as strong as the natural pairing of man and woman. We must submit to the laws of nature."

Mistress, who claims she's not interested in relationships, declares, 'I like being single forever.' She may succeed at deceiving her male submissives, but she can't fool the world. This might not be entirely transparent to her submissives, but it's clear she hasn't found a suitable match, a disgust that makes her unable to be matched with anyone. Many of them attempt to evade their hypergamous nature, trying hard to break the rule that the man must be superior for the relationship to endure. However, no matter how much she runs away, she won't evade it.
If her strength alone could truly guarantee survival, as she deludes herself into believing, Why the fear of relationships with partners who take a more submissive role? Why the staunch avoidance of official pairings and the prospect of marrying male slaves or submissives? And why this palpable fear of breeding, of bearing children with them, if not because she harbors the unsettling awareness that her bloodline, conceived in such a union, would be frail and ill-equipped to weather the storms compared to normal pairings?
The truth is, whether she tries to be civilized or pretend that she's above nature and above a need of a strong man to mate with, her nature is contradictory, creating deep revulsion within her. It prevents her from mating, mixing with inferior and weak males that would make her bloodline humble and possibly extinct through mutation pairing. Even the concept of a pixel baby is detested by her, and she refuses to take the risk of having one. In the real world, bearing a child with a male slave is considered almost impossible.

The Apex of Experience: Unveiling the Strongest Pairing
In 10 years, there were only two whom she didn't feel disgusted by in their formal pairing.
" I'm not saying I haven't tried my best. I've experimented with various types of pairings in the world of femdom, pushing the boundaries in every possible way. The result of 10 years of experience is... "
1. S&M
Masochistic Dom & Sadistic BabyGirl ( Mainstream Paring )
☑ a typical setup under Hypergamous rules, where a higher-level man is paired with a lower-level woman. Men who possess more masculinity, intelligence, resources, multiple sexual mastery abilities at advanced degrees typically take on the roles of protection, care, and responsibility.
☑ It's the strongest pairing that has survived the longest, for nearly 9 years.
----------------------------------
2. D/s
Miss Wife & Slave Husband ( Mutation Paring )
☑ a rebel, a mutation pairing, where a higher-level woman is officially paired with a lower-level man, wherein women possess more masculinity, intelligence, resources, multiple sexual mastery abilities, and advanced degrees, taking on the roles of protection, care, and responsibility.
☑ It can survive for at most 4 to 7 months in each round.

" And again, for any subs who may misunderstand this world. I confirm, the Femdom world is not a place to forgive and cherish weak men. This world remains a difficult and unforgiving place for them, much like the other worlds they attempt to escape from.
If trying to survive in another world felt like hell, living in the world of Femdom is even worse for them than any other world."
