I have many friends, but to have lost a very special one was very difficult - hence the sad photo.

Daytime portrait of the historic Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior's North Shore about 40 miles northeast of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
Funds for the light station were appropriated by Congress in 1907 at the bidding of U.S. Steel Corp. and other iron ore interests after a November 1905 storm on Lake Superior damaged 29 ships (a third of which were uninsured and owned by U.S. Steel).
The station was opened in 1910 and was decommissioned in 1969 during the era when technology was making lighthouses obsolete. The State of Minnesota has had the site since 1971, and in 1976 it turned operations of the light station over to the Minnesota Historical Society. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2011.

A menacing and sinister looking cloud sat over an apartment building on the far bank of the reservoir. As it churned and blustered it reminded me of my high school English class in Shakespeare. How it too would carry on in some indignant way that would have no effect.
Macbeth - "Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Karen and i went for our annual pilgrimage to the woods to shoot our favourite time of year, when all the trees are vibrant with fall colours.

Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are native to Europe and first to flower in the woods and grasslands in winter often breaking through a blanket of snow. Hence, in folklore, snowdrops often considered as a symbol of hope, signifying the turn of the seasons. Old Arboretum; Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury, South Gloucestershire, England, UK.

"The May Full Moon is known as Flower Moon to signify the flowers that bloom during this month. Other names for the Full Moon in May are Corn Planting Moon, and Milk Moon from Old English/Anglo-Saxon."
"The Moon (or Luna) is the Earth’s only natural satellite and was formed 4.6 billion years ago around some 30–50 million years after the formation of the solar system. The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth meaning the same side is always facing the Earth. The first unmanned mission to the Moon was in 1959 by the Soviet Lunar Program with the first manned landing being Apollo 11 in 1969."
Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland
These hardy creatures are found roaming all over Achill and are found in some pretty inaccessible places being almost as agile as goats.
They have these colour markings on the wool to signify that the sheep is part of a particular farmer's flock given that they are grazed on the commons which is nearly the whole island (even the local golf course!).
They are also pretty fearless and don't even blink at passing cars while resting on the side of the road. I am so used to slowing right down for sheep at home, it took a while to get used to seeing passing cars speeding past (or being in one!).
Also, given their ubiquity on the island, there is a bit of a need to tread carefully when walking across grassy meadows and fields!
According to what I was told, their wool is almost of no value but their meat is.
This is third third in the series that I am posting from my landscape photography workshop on Achill.

Akron is a village in Erie County, New York, United States. The population was 2,868 at the 2010 census. The name derives from the Greek word ἄκρον signifying a summit or high point. It is part of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area. Akron is located in the town of Newstead on the west and north slopes of a hill. NY 93 passes through the village.
The village absorbed the community of Fallkirk in its growth. In 1880, the population of Akron was about 1,050. It was then an important cement-producing center, due to local deposits of gypsum. Besides production of cement, the village also produced cigars.

Morning Glory flower/plant.
Just as its name indicates, the morning glory wakes each morning and opens its blossom to greet the world. As the day reaches its end and the sun sets, the flower slowly curls up and takes its rest – only for new blooms to open the next day.
But it turns out these gorgeous sun-seeking flowers are not only beautiful, but they’re also laden with meaning too!
The morning glory flower can have many meanings, but the most common include love, life, and death, or even love in vain.
Its ability to rise each morning and sleep each evening resembles human life.
It may seem like a depressing thought; the morning glory blooms each morning only to die each evening. But it’s about a lot more than that. The flower is resilient, able to grow in challenging situations and thrive each year. While they do indeed “die”, they rise again each morning – like clockwork – to signify not only death but the beauty of life.
In many cultures, sparrows are seen as good luck. In Chinese culture, the sparrow is an auspicious symbol of happiness and the coming of spring, while in Indonesian lore, sparrows signify birth, marriage, rain and other good tidings.

Tree Trunk
in dreams...
"To see the trunk of a tree, signifies your inner sense of well being and personality. If the trunk is thick and large, then it denotes that you are a strong, rugged and durable person."
Binx and I have been friends since Year 9... we had a little band together - she played the drums and I sang (karaoke styles :o), eventually the band disbanded on the account of us "growing up" and all that serious stuff...
I'm finally on holidays guys... YAY!!! WHOOOOO!!! Binx drove me all the way to uni to drop off my last essay and then we walked around and took photos...
This is inspired from a recurring dream I have had for the past week or so.... Not quite sure if it signifies anything very consequential though :-)

I took a picture of this same tree last fall. It's particular coloring does give the sensation that it is on fire. Very orange-red. I caught it just before our first snow which usually signifies a big leaf drop from the trees here in Utah.

The Democracy Monument commemorates the June 1932 military coup d'etat that led to the country’s first democratic constitution in place of absolute rule. Demonstrators gathered here in 1973, 1976, and 1992 in their struggle for democracy, signifying the important role this monument has played in recent Thai history.
The monument's distinguishing features are the four ‘wings,’ which are located at four equally spaced points around a smaller central shrine. The wings are decorated with artworks of war and war-related events.

Insence
(Latin thus, Gr. thumiama), an aromatic substance which is obtained from certain resinous trees and largely employed for purposes of religious worship. The word is also used to signify the smoke or perfume arising from incense when burned.

Windmills have been a feature of Brill since at least the 13th century. Two fields adjacent to the Thame road are named Milldene and Millpiece, signifying connections with the earliest siting of windmills in Brill around 1250.
The present windmill on Brill Common was probably erected sometime in the 1680s. Although not quite the oldest windmill in England, it is one of the best preserved of the dozen or so 17th century 'post-mills' still standing. (Pitstone Windmill, also in Buckinghamshire, was built in 1627 and is believed to be the oldest windmill in Britain.) A post-mill is a mill in which the whole structure revolves around a central post in order to face the wind.
When Brill windmill last operated it was working two sets of stones; a pair of French burr stones for milling wheat, and a pair of peak stones (Derbyshire millstone grit) for milling barley. When operative, the mill had four sails, each 27 feet (9m) long and 5 feet (1.5m) wide. Since construction, the mill has probably been operated by only six millers.
Brill's last miller was Mr. Albert Nixey. Mr. Nixey last milled flour in 1919, but continued to grind barley for cattle food for a further four years. The new roller mills (the first opening in Glasgow in 1872) could produce 7,000lbs (about 3,200kgs) of bread flour per man hour, compared to 180lbs (81kgs) produced by a windmill such as that in Brill.
In 1634, another post-mill was built opposite today's windmill, on the other side of the road across the Common. This windmill, known as Parson's Mill, was struck by lightening in 1905 and demolished in 1906. The 'tump' on which it was built is still clearly visible.

We are in the middle of a drought here in California so it was great to see a rainy day! I submitted a couple of photographs in October signifying the beginning of Autumn, and here we are at the end.
Even after a restless night of sleep I was glad I didn't miss this short-lived glow signifying peace and hope which I never take for granted for It is a chance to reset. I will always be that girl who gets excited when the sky turns pretty colours and awakens the earth of its slumber.

Happy American Thanksgiving!
It is a day to set judgements aside, put battles on hold and come together in unity to focus on things for which you are grateful.
A beautiful start to a summer dawn across a New Forest heath. Just past the full moon. We seem to derive a lot of names for the moon from the native American nomenclature and June's moon is no different, signifying berries coming into harvest. Other European names I saw included, honey moon, mead moon or rose moon. June's moon is lower in the sky and can therefore look a litlle rose tinted as there is more atmosphere for it to go through. The slight pre-dawn magenta sky helped to give that impression here.
Some things are starting to change in the villages, and the Chief wearing this hat is a sign of that. This picture was taken after finishing a discussion with the Chief about female genital mutilation (FGM), a procedure commonly found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. For the Maasai FGM signifies the girl’s passage to adulthood and usually takes place before marriage. FGM is technically illegal in Tanzania, but it is still carried out regularly although more discreetly now. Female activists are now calling for an end to the practice, many women develop infections post procedure, resulting in death for some. Unfortunately, given the patriarchal nature of this tribe, and their nomadic lifestyle shielding them from outside influence, FGM remains a contentious ritual.
Tulips (Tulipa - means perfect love) signifies the arrival of spring.

Bluff Cove
Palos Verdes Estates, CA

After a gloomy morning, and a quick welcome rain (it hadn't rained this Christmas and for me that's one of the things which signifies the season) I drove out around the peninsula and ended up at Bluff Cove for the sunset.
Creeping front on Norfolk Island signifies the eventual arrival of Category 2 Cyclone Gabrielle. Subsequent days meant some buffeting and rains but little damage on the historic small island. The cyclone eased into a tropical low as it passed southeast to New Zealand but there caused massive flooding damage. Cyclones are unpredictable even after downgrading.

For many, 2020 signifies a year to forget. On the Metro-North roster, 2020 was a memorable unit, the FL9 with the gold patina on its nose. Here it's mated to sister unit 2007 with northbound train 845 at Breakneck Ridge, a location just north of Cold Spring that's memorable in its own right and never seems to get old, in this case at 6:10 pm on 18 June 1987.
This shot was taken a few days after the first bloom of cherry blossoms (Sakura) in Tokyo.
The appearance of Sakura signifies the beginning of spring. The arrival of these flowers is an annual event so significant, that there are forecasts pinpointing exactly when and where the flowers are expected to bloom. Tokyo is always bustling with outdoor activities and festivals during this festive period. The main activity is usually Hanami (花見), which often refers to Sakura flower viewing. Group of friends/families often sit on the picnic mats, enjoying foods and drinks while indulging the beauty of Sakura.

Here is a close-up of a White Trillium turned green with envy, taken in the Richfield County Park, May 16, 2022. I'm joking, of course. But, I have heard that the green coloring signifies a type of virus. It sure makes for a pretty look, however.
While this act may raise a few eyebrows in certain parts of the world, here, it is a fairly common sight, signifying close friendship.

Wikipedia: The Thai greeting referred to as the wai consists of a slight bow, with the palms pressed together in a prayer-like fashion. It has its origin in the Indian Añjali Mudrā, like the Indian namaste and Burmese mingalaba. The higher the hands are held in relation to the face and the lower the bow, the more respect or reverence the giver of the wai is showing. The wai is traditionally observed upon formally entering a house. After the visit is over, the visitor asks for permission to leave and repeats the salutation made upon entering. The wai is also common as a way to express gratitude or to apologise.
The wai gesture originated in Buddhism and has similar origins as namaste in Hinduism. It was basically a yogic posture of the palms and signifies the equal meeting of the two palms. It means that the other party is treated as an equal human being.
