Let me just point out that it is a statement Storm stands for, and not a wish the rest of us share.
I go back to February in this photo. Some ask if the sun is always blue over Fjaerland, and the answer is sadly no. I am afraid Flickr is a fake reality, if not as bad as Facebook. We post mostly the sunny photos and the ones where the belly somehow looks smaller than in reallity.
Today there is a heavy and cold rain coming down. Not nice, and I will not post pictures of it, but I must admitt that it removes the snow a lot more effective than sun in day and frost at night.
There is a lot more photos in the first comment.
I often like rock versions of well known songs. It is hardly ever wrong to add a punch in the arrangement, nor power in the vocals. One I found a few weeks ago is Bad Wolves version of Cranberries Zombie. I really like this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XaS93WMRQQ
If you want to learn more about the story behind it, then read on further. I feel this to be a good version, and the reason behind it a touching one.
"One of our most asked-about songs recently has been the cover of "Zombie" done by the rock group Bad Wolves
Personally, the first time I heard this song, it instantly became one of my favorites. The haunting lyrics...the slow build to a chorus that's almost impossible NOT to turn the volume up to 10 and sing along to. Obviously, most of us have heard this song from the Cranberries original version in 1994.
According to Songfacts , the song is about the Irish Republican Army, who in 1993 set off bombs in a busy shopping area near Liverpool, England that killed a 3-year-old and 12-year-old boy and injured more than 50. Although they said ( according to the New York Times ) that they "profoundly" regretted the death and injuries.The Irish rebellion against British power began in 1916, hence the lyrics " it's the same old theme since 1916..." from the Cranberries version of the song.
Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan claimed that "Zombie" speaks about "the Irish fight for independence that seems to last forever."
According to Songfacts:
On August 31, 1994, just a few weeks after this song was released, the IRA declared a ceasefire after 25 years of conflict, leading some critics of The Cranberries to wonder if the IRA was willing to call a truce to make sure the group didn't release any more songs about them.
Fast-Forward to 2018:
The hard-rock band Bad Wolves wanted to do a cover of this song. They recorded a demo and in order to get clearance on the copyright laws of the song, sent it to management of the Cranberries. Management let the band hear it, and O'Riordan liked the song so much that she said she'd lend her vocals to this new version of it.
When news got back to Bad Wolves, they were excited about the opportunity and ecstatic that O' Riordan wanted to collaborate on it.
According to an interview, lead singer Tommy Vext said " She was really excited about that because the nations may have changed but we're still fighting the same battles today. Humanity is still fighting to assert itself despite all the conflicts."
The day that O'Riordan was set to join Bad Wolves in the studio for recording, she sadly passed away in her hotel room.
According to an interview with Billboard , , Vext and his bandmates were shocked and were at a crossroads: do they just 'shelf' the song and forget about it...or do they release it anyway?
They felt releasing it may be bad for their image as they didn't want to make it look like they were capitalizing on O'Riordan's death.
Instead, they decided that all the proceeds they made from the single release would go to O'Riordan's children. Meanwhile, it was pushed to Rock radio stations in the USA. The song follows suit with successful covers from 'Modern Rock' bands of older songs such as Disturb's "Sound of Silence" (originally done by Simon and Garfunkel )and Five Finger Death Punch's "Gone Away" (originally done by The Offspring ) and "House of the Rising Sun" (originally done by The Animals .)
Check out the homage paid to O'Riordan (who was painted in gold in the original video) with the recent video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XaS93WMRQQ"
A Greater Manchester Police officer and his Mini patrol car photographed outside part the Granada Television complex on Quay Street in Manchester.
The image was taken in 1977.
Quay Street Studios were the headquarters of Granada between 1956 and 2013.
The site produced such popular shows as World in Action and University Challenge and was also home of the famous Coronation Street.
Granada relocated to a new home at Trafford Wharf in 2013.
Going into production in 1959, the Mini became one of the most iconic police vehicles of the next two decades and was famously used by the Panda patrol system.

Amelia leads, I try and keep up. Too bad I can't show the 150 foot drop straight down about a foot to her left that this trail skirts. Headed back after #4 Amelia geocache find. Good news, bad news, she almost never asks for help navigating a tough section of trail anymore.

ini Statement:
Hello to Everyone
In the past, Blue Orange had 4 art projects now was about time to make 5th. This time Project in one or another way is linked or directed with four amazing art movements and each member of this project this time decided by himself into which one she or he leans.
1. Expressionism (more as german expressionism and silent movies as Dr. Caligari or Metropolis).
2. Dada Art movement (when in most short way canvas met literature indirect way and showed absurdity to us... and much more).
3. Surrealism (We all know this one well enough :)
4. Modern Avant-Garde.
The opening will start at 1 PM slt, Sunday 24th of January.
Galleries are located around the club, above and under, please feel free to walk and look around. Each little board (clickable) with name on it contains information about the artist. Some places are asking for advanced lights. Some places will need to have sounds on and music turned on as well. :)
In the first hour, we will hear a little bit of educative readings from Elliot's book narrated by Nick. Later, after hour - at 2 pm slt all are welcome to meet at usual B.O. bohemian club to listen to some music collected by Ini.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” ~ Charles R. Swindoll

A 5pm statement released by TfGM on Friday 21st March 2023 read: "TfGM was today, Friday 21 April, informed by the owner of Little Gem that they plan to stop running contracted bus services, with the last day of operation being Saturday 22 April.
The operator currently runs several school and local bus services.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has arranged emergency cover for several bus routes set to be withdrawn in Manchester, Trafford, Tameside and Stockport.
However, currently, no emergency cover has been found for general bus services 44, 84, 217, 260, 261, 262, 280, 288 and 375. TfGM is tendering all Little Gem services, with a view to new contracts starting on Tuesday 2 May.
In arranging emergency cover, priority was given to school services and those routes where passengers have fewer travel options."
Seen here on its second last day of operation in Piccadilly is Scania N270UD OmniDekka, fleet number 2, on service 44 to Altrincham.
Boerderijen, laantjes, weilanden, boomgaarden en een kerkje.
En dan dit gebouw, met deze opvallende gevel.
Boven de voordeur prijkt een paardekop — vermoedelijk een verwijzing naar de oorspronkelijke functie.
Het torent overal bovenuit. De torenspits van het kerkje is misschien net iets hoger, maar het gebouw trekt alle aandacht. Het kerkje valt er bijna bij in het niets.
Een architectonisch statement, midden in het stille dorp.
---------------
Location: Ressen, the Netherlands
Farms, country lanes, meadows, orchards — and a little village church.
And then this building, with its striking façade.
Above the entrance, a sculpted horse’s head — likely a clue to its original function.
It rises above everything around it. The church spire might be slightly taller, but this house commands all the attention. The church almost disappears in comparison.
A bold architectural statement in the heart of a quiet village.

Captive bird at Muncaster Castle Hawk and Owl Centre.
A yellow-billed Kite.
Canon R with 70-200mm f/2.8L lens as I didnt have anything with longer reach with me.
Made a few mistakes - should have gone for shorter exposures (1/2000 as minimum) and probably should have switched off IS. Had a dreadfully slow memory card so buffered frequently which didnt help.
Probably should use a bit of exposure compensation as well!
But I'm getting there!
Until now, Ive mostly captured perched birds - I want to work at birds in flight. Hopefully, this is just the start!
I drove out southwest of town and past a lot of repaired flood destruction on Oxford Road west of Niwot past their cemetery. I caught this well west from the cemetery and Haystack, a pointy hill that always leaves me wondering. In this shot, NOAA Table Mountain is in the background with government experiment stations atop. I don't suppose any of the experiments trickled over the hill and wiped out this farm. This does not look like it happened overnight. This is certainly NFL - not for long. It looks like someone set up a slab of cottonwood trunk for axe throwing practice.
Although still in September and suffering August heat, I'd say summer grasses were done but the cottonwoods and shrubs are still green. It often seems agricultural has been sucked from this area. Fortunately, we can buy food from the Sam n' Ella's farm in Mexico. The area is learning how valuable water in the west really is but have yet to learn the true value of watered land and soil that doesn't need paving.
Strangely, we had a summer that was closer to normal, if high in humidity, but I don't think ignoring climate change or pumping petroleum will make rougher weather go away. This was a summer that was hotter than any on record. This August was hotter then any on record. This September was the hottest on record, all set world wide. perhaps you see a trend. That is at least until the looming petroleum wars are settled and the Koch Brothers and their political tea purchases are put away in their place. Until then CO2 levels in the atmosphere which are at an 850 million year high, will not be turned around. Actually, anti-fracking proposals passed in Colorado.
FIPF Statement
Category: Self Portraits
The IPF handbook states “all assessments are carried out anonymously” but with this panel I seem to have wavered my right to anonymity…I am a self portrait photographer.
For me self portraiture is not about ego but about creativity and self expression, each of my images captures a little piece of my quirky personality.
At times I feel like I’m part photographer, part performance artist and If I have to make a fool of myself to get my idea across then so be it.
This panel of twenty images comes from a body of work that spans over seven years of taking a self portrait everyday, it’s a miracle I’m not fed up with the sight of my own face yet.

I wonder what she'll say today, - 12 years later.
My third Statement Dress is this skintight lycra LBD. I hope you like it! It really hugs my body tight, and would feel very snug to wear while gathering around the Christmas Tree for something bubbly to drink! It also seems to have been designed especially to be worn with my favourite chrome-heeled five-inch black patent Pleasers!
Lots more to come soon, but bye bye for now!
Sweet kisses under the mistletoe for all my lovely friends!
