Seemingly the most recently repainted Citylink Citaro, 5290 loads for Hadrian Park on Pilgrim Street.
On a seemingly beautiful day in Northern West Virginia, a big tree fell across Route 857 in Monogalia County, near Cheat Lake.
When I pulled up, there was already a half mile of traffic or so, and we didn't know any easy alternate route so my friend and I left my mom to watch the car, and jumped out to see if there was anything interesting to see.
Apparently the big tree just sort of randomly fell down, and the white car came around the bend a bit fast and wasn't able to stop in time. No one was hurt, but the car had some fairly serious damage (not shown) and the road was blocked for about 30-45 minutes.
Finally, just as the road was being cleared, two state troopers came barreling up the hill. The one, noticing my friend and I taking pictures, asked "what are you boys doing, a school project or something?"
As the sun set over a seemingly endless expanse of open sea, Lionel Messi took a seat at the edge of a boat, stretched out a leg and posed for the photograph that would announce the beginning of his public partnership with Saudi Arabia.The image, shared with Messi’s 400 million-plus followers on Instagram on May 9, 2022, was accompanied by a dual-language caption that read, “Discovering the Red Sea #VisitSaudi.” Hours earlier, he had been welcomed to the kingdom by Saudi Arabia’s tourism minister, who had boasted on Twitter that while it was Messi’s first visit to the country, “it will not be the last.”Messi, who is regarded perhaps as global soccer’s greatest player, was starting to cash in on the new partnership: His photo-op in the Red Sea likely earned him approximately $2 million, the first step in fulfilling his agreement with the kingdom that is worth millions more.The details of Messi’s role as a well-compensated pitchman for Saudi Arabia are contained in a previously undisclosed version of his contract with the tourism authority that was reviewed by The New York Times.The contract shows that Messi could receive as much as 22.5 million euros, about $25 million, over three years for little actual work: a few commercial appearances, a handful of social media posts and some all-expenses-paid vacations to the kingdom with his family and children. He is expected to share images of those trips — marked with a Saudi-approved hashtag — with his vast online following.But

In the spring of 1865, a seemingly unremarkable dishcloth played a crucial role in ending the Civil War as the South’s flag of surrender at Appomattox. In Monumental Cloth, The Flag We Should Know, textile and social practice artist Sonya Clark debuts six new works across two floors at The Fabric Workshop and Museum. Focusing specifically on this Confederate Flag of Truce, the exhibition explores the legacy of symbols and challenges the power of propaganda, erasures, and omissions. By making the Truce Flag – a cloth that brokered peace and represented the promise of reconciliation – into a monumental alternative to the infamous Confederate Battle Flag and its pervasive divisiveness, Clark instigates a role reversal and aims to correct a historical imbalance. The Fabric Workshop and Museum is housed in a former flag factory, a particularly fitting place to ask questions about the symbolic power cloth can hold in the consciousness of our nation. Monumental Cloth, The Flag We Should Know is a timely catalyst for dialogue about the scars of the Confederacy and America’s ability to acknowledge and reckon with racial injustice.

"This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World showcases the dynamic landscape of American craft today. The exhibition highlights the role that artists play in our world to spark essential conversations, stories of resilience, and methods of activism—showing us a more relational and empathetic world. It centers more expansive definitions and acknowledgments of often-overlooked histories and contributions of women, people of color, and other marginalized communities."
Seemingly pulled straight from the pages of a fairy tale, the enchanting beauty of the "Doll House" youth bedroom collection is sure to magically transform the atmosphere of any child's bedroom. Bathed in charming multi-colored pastels, the green, lavendar, pink, and yellow colors works together to create a dreamlike quality that will awaken any child's imagination.

Tradition holds that a wooden church, part of a nuns’ skete existed in the area, as seemingly attested by a 1642 document.
A princely order of 1672-1673 provided that the leather smiths – tăbăcari or tabaci – of another district be moved there;
these workers gave rise to the name of their new neighbourhood, and originally had a single church, which was later demolished.
The earliest sure mention of an older church comes from missionary Blasius Kleiner, who mentions it in a pre-1761 list of Bucharest churches.
The present church, situated on a hillock, dates to 1763-1765.
As recorded in the pisanie, now lost, the ktetor was a captain at the court of Prince Constantine Mavrocordatos.
A 1798 inventory mentions the church as being the parish of the Apostol district, home to millers and bakers.
Butchers moved in once a slaughterhouse opened, so that it was sometimes called the “cutting church” (Biserica de la Tăiere) and, from the neighboring tribunal, the “judgment church” (Biserica de la Judecată).
Significant repairs took place in 1810 and again in 1820-1830.
The church underwent restoration in 1864, fixing damage from the earthquakes of 1802 and 1838.
The flagstone floor dates to that time, while the shingle roof was replaced by lead sheeting in 1894.
The columns and arches separating the nave from the narthex were eliminated, enlarging the interior.
The masonry dome above the nave was replaced by a lighter wooden one, coated in tin.
The more recent bell tower, added along after the small portico, was first made of wood, then in 1910 changed for a metal one.
That year also saw the addition of a wooden choir area, changed to reinforced concrete in 1956-1957.
Serious damage was caused by the earthquakes of 1940 and especially 1977; repairs were undertaken in 1979, with additional exterior work in 2002-2003.
The initial frescoes were redone in oil in 1894 by Gheorghe Tattarescu and another artist.
Businessman Dumitru Mociorniță helped finance a restoration of the art in 1924, with further repairs taking place in 1983.
The exterior painting, which consisted of saints’ faces in medallions above the windows, was eliminated on three sides during the 1864 enlargement.
The icon of Paraskeva of the Balkans is original to the building, while other icons date to 1864; the iconostasis is of wood.
In 1987-1989, near the end of the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime, the church was threatened first with demolition, then with being obscured by building apartment blocks all around it.
Implementation of the proposals was frequently delayed due to petitions addressed to the authorities and the Orthodox hierarchy, as well as through efforts by engineers and builders.
The threat of new buildings obscuring the church continued until 1991-1992, after the Romanian Revolution, and construction was only halted due to the strenuous efforts of the parish priest.
The foundations of the blocks of flats were covered in 1995-1996.
The cross-shaped church measures 25 meters long by 7.8-10 meters wide;
it is around 9 meters high at the cornice and 18 meters at the tip of the domes.
The small, enclosed portico is an addition to the west end, the Pantocrator dome sits above the nave and the bell tower above the narthex.
The latter is accessed by a staircase starting from a little tower against the north facade.
The apses have three sides on the exterior and are semicircular on the interior, with quarter-sphere ceilings.
The ceiling acquired its present appearance in 1864:
it is vaulted in the space between narthex and nave, then giving way to the main dome.
Both domes are octagonal, covered in tin, with bulbous roofs.
The larger dome ends in an octagonal roof lantern that supports a metal cross.
The exterior is of painted masonry.
The simple string course lies below the midpoint of the facade.
Further down are the windows, separated by rectangular panels, while the upper part is simple, the original medallions being swallowed up by masonry during repairs.
The western facade features a triangular pediment, once painted and now almost bare.
Three icons are painted below: Saint Nicholas on the left, Saint Philotheia on the right and the patrons in the center.
The church has a spacious yard; the parish house lies on the grounds, to the north.
The Real Canadian Superstore is pretty cool. However, their parking lot seemed pretty empty, in comparison to other days. Of course, they do have underground parking at this location, which is located at 2901 8th Street East in Saskatoon.
These sea otters seemingly relaxing on and around little icebergs in Prince William Sound seemed as interested in us as we were in them.
Thousands of otters died after the Exxon Valdez oil tanker disgorged more than 10 million gallons of crude oil onto the Alaskan coast on March 24, 1989 after having run aground on Bligh Reef. It has taken the sea otter population of Prince William Sound 25 years to recover.
Thousands of otters likely died immediately as they soaked in sludge. For the next two decades, a filthy oil residue poisoned otters as they fed, slowing the recovery process. Ongoing adult otter death may have occurred because, after the spill, the surviving otters suffered from near-constant exposure to toxic chemicals as the animals foraged for mussels and other shellfish in the crude-soaked sand and gravel beds of the Sound.
Although this population of northern sea otters is now considered recovered, the subspecies as a whole—which can be found throughout Alaska's southern coast and islands—remains endangered, protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. They are a different subspecies than the sea otters that swim off California's coast.

Seemingly unrelated, the sextant, earthquakes, and port gave rise to what we now know as Portugal. In short, the invention of the sextant jump started the “age of discovery” and Portugal’s conquest of Brasil, Spain, Madagascar, Macau and others. Barrels of wine enticed sailors to endure the stench of life abroad. To keep the wine from fermenting into vinegar, brandy and cherries were added and thereby unwittingly creating port. England’s thirst literally fortified Portugal’s economy in the 18th century.
From the 2000 flamingos that winter in the Rio Formosa to the Moorish, Romans and Celtic, Portugal has a history of migrations.
This history is what shapes Portugal’s architecture, language and cuisine abound. For example, centuries of Roman influence account for the number of words that begin with “Al”, the word Arabic sounds like “a rabbit”.
In the Algarve Moorish mosques became Catholic monasteries and are now train depots, police stations, and other public facilities. Castles of various dictators are tourists attractions.

As promised, I've got a few more goodies from a show we worked on last month. Wow, kinda feast or famine with my show posts I guess huh? Like I mentioned yesterday, events with this client (see link and mention in yesterdays post) are fun for the photographer and image creator in me as there is oodles of time to enjoy not only the art of the scene that we helped create, but the craft of capturing these frames for eternity. Please enjoy some more images below and thanks for stopping by :)
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE LINK BELOW TO THE BLOG AS I HAVE POSTED A FEW IMAGES FROM THIS EVENT....AND AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

PS. In 21st-century America, there's little excuse for not burying —or otherwise' hardening' — power and other utility lines. Here, as it is in much of the United States, it remains a 19th-century mode of transmission.

Fantastic day! A seemingly endless stream of bikes that went on for hours. The sound of the bikes was so strong you could feel it in your bones. One of the coolest sounds on earth. There are actually 2 separate Rolling Thunder organizations : Rolling Thunder® Motorcycle Rally, Washington DC, Inc. and Rolling Thunder®, Inc, National

bar life (no capital letters in the name) on Northgate was a bar that was seemingly popular with young people. The window sills were deep enough for young ladies to dance on. The original staircase upto the first floor remained which was a nice touch considering the complete change of use that the building had undergone.
The problem the place had was that they owners had clearly budgeted for a much larger clientele. Whist the downstairs was often packed, the upstairs only really attracted people when the place was new and even then, there weren't half as many as downstairs in an area that was almost as large. Therefore in later years, there wasn't much point in going upstairs other than to use the only toilets in the place which must surely have been in contravention of the Disability Discrimination Acrt! This was probably the reason why it closed as from July 1st 2007, smokers were well catered for in the large back yard.
The history of the place is somewhat shrouded in history with most only having a vague idea of its previous useage due to the fact that the windows were previously opaque, the woodwork was that inconspicuous not-quite dark green colour and the place only had a couple of tiny oxidised brass plates by the door. Quite a contrast from how it ended up!
The general consensus is that the building belonged to the DHSS (as it was back then) and one went there for an assessment regarding medical benefits.
Came across this while out for a drive, it's a striking structure with an intriguing story:
"The Folly stands on a hill in Ballyscally townland, south of Clogher. It is a mausoleum built by George Brackenridge, a much maligned 19th Century Clogher Valley landlord, a self made man of his day. He is reputed to have said that, ‘If the people would not accept him in his own lifetime, at least they would be forced to look up to him when he died’. Thus he set about building his tower – a three story, telescope style building topped by a railed parapet – built over a fault. The construction of the tower and the road leading up to it gave some employment during the last years of the Famine.
Brackenridge was buried in the vault in July 1879, supposedly upside down – believing that when the world ended the Poles would be reversed and therefore he would be facing the right way up for resurrection. His body was placed in the innermost of three coffins. These were broken into nearly fifty years later by the Black and Tans who took his rings and watch chain as souvenirs."
Edie has seemingly been recovering fine from her partially torn knee ligament. She has no limp, doesn't favor the leg, shows no signs of problems. That is, until she randomly does. On a couple of occasions, she has been running or jumping and will yelp. When she does, she comes running back to me and aggressively snuggles. This morning was one such incident.
No clue what she is doing that causes the yelp. She can jump and yelp and then 5 minutes later jump without issue. And it never leads to her suddenly limping. It is a mystery. For the foreseeable future, we will just be trying to take it easy with her, so no all-day playathons at daycamp for her for a while.

Finally, just as the road was being cleared, two state troopers came barreling up the hill. The one, noticing my friend and I taking pictures, asked "what are you boys doing, a school project or something?"

Seemingly in the process of imitating a launch by the Space Shuttle, this Lufthansa B737, D-ABXY, is actually on finals to land on the new runway 25 Right at Frankfurt on 11 May 2013 as a rainbow arcs into the evening sky.
Seemingly casually planted but everything was beautifully designed. Oudolf planned every plant and grass here to create a perennial meadow. Planting began in 2014.
The lift was quite a thrill - especially looking up on that seemingly way too thin wire holding the entiry ensemble aloft!
The seemingly endless flat plain is the top of the South Downs on Kithurst Hill which is not flat and not a plain!
A repeat of the same image three times. The sky was not that blue, the grass was green and not yellow.
The point, other than the simple composition and the colour selected, that we take for granted that what we see as true! You know that old "Seeing is believing" chestnut! To some people that affirmation of their relationship with the world around them is sacrosanct and indisputable. They may be afraid to step outside of its comforting mantra for fear of the deep or that the foundation of their world may fall away to beyond the horizon that is their visible protection.
