I get to bed later than most people to see the moon and stars in the night sky and then wake up earlier than most people to watch the sunrise and then set, so that I can share it with others. This is the pleasure in my life!!! :)

Please come over and check out my other photos, you might find something else you like. :)

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everybody!! :)

Voici une chanson du groupe ABBA contre la guerre et pour la Liberté.

Here is a song of the group ABBA against war and for Freedom.

"Fernando"

Can you hear the drums Fernando ?

I remember long ago another starry night like this

In the firelight Fernando

You were humming to yourself and softly stumming your guitar

I could hear the distand drums

And sound of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando

Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally

I was so afraid Fernando

We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die

And I'm not ashamed to say

The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

(Refrain)

There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright Fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For Liberty Fernando

Thought I never thought that we could lose

There's no regret

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hands

Can you hear the drums Fernando ?

Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande ?

I can see it in your eyes

How proud you were to fight for Freedom in this land.

(Refrain)

ABBA

SLAVA UKRAINI !

Voici ma traduction en Français:

"Fernando"

Entends-tu les tambours Fernando ?

Je me rappelle qu'il y a longtemps nous avons eu une autre nuit étoilée comme celle-là

A la lumière du feu Fernando

Tu chantonnais pour toi-même et grattais doucement ta guitare

J'entendais les tambours au loin

Et les sons des appels du clairon me parvenaient de loin

Ils étaient plus près maintenant Fernando

Chaque heure chaque minute semblait durer une éternité

J'avais si peur Fernando

Nous étions jeunes et pleins de vie et aucun de nous n'était préparé à mourir

Et je n'ai pas honte de dire

Que les rugissements des fusils et des canons m'ont mis les larmes aux yeux

(Refrain)

Il y avait de la magie dans l'air cette nuit-là

Les étoiles brillaient, Fernando

Elles brillaient là pour toi et moi

Pour la Liberté, Fernando

Bien que je n'ai jamais cru que nous puissions perdre

Je n'ai aucun regret

Si c'était à refaire

Je le referais, mon ami, Fernando

Maintenant nous sommes vieux et grisonnants Fernando

Et depuis des années je n'ai pas vu de fusil entre tes mains

Entends-tu les tambours, Fernando ?

Te rappelles-tu encore de la nuit effroyable où nous avons traversé le Rio Grande ?

Je peux le voir dans tes yeux

A quel point tu étais fier de te battre pour la Liberté de ce pays

(Refrain)

ABBA

SLAVA UKRAINI !

Got close and personal to a very vintage movie projector. It was the first time I've ever seen one of these devices and I loved the look of it! It would be cool to have one of these on display and even luckier if I used it for its purpose. It's a purchase I'll definitely revisit in the future.

Have a great day! :)

Flores - Santa Gemita - 110421-6

This stump supporting the large pot was an elder tree deposited as a seed forty years ago by a passing bird no doubt. It grew and grew and as we aged together I became weaker and it became stronger, pushing down my fences and scattering dye filled berries everywhere. When my friend who made red wine from the berries and white wine from the flowers passed away and I became less able to control its growth I had it reduced it to a stump. I felt guilty but it did make a good stand for the pot.

What is happening in Ukraine is beyond horrific, and I pray that some kind of peace agreement can be reached soon. Since sunflowers are the national flower, and blue and yellow are the colors of the flag, I invite everyone to add their photos of sunflowers or blue and yellow images to show support for Ukraine.

I was kind of excited about this one so I had to share with you guys. I really like the black and white conversion. I visited the downtown area with a friend a couple of days ago and took some shots of the surrounding buildings. I think I like this one the most. Thanks everyone for your continued support!

I like that you can see the clouds reflecting in the windows too :-)

The big church in Dordrecht is a fantastic find for anyone who is interested in religious buildings or medieval architecture. Alternatively known as Dordrecht Minster, the Great Church or the Church of Our Lady, this establishment is the largest church in the city. This church was ranked amongst the top 100 Dutch heritage sites on a list which was created by the department of Conservation in the early 1990s. It is noted for its Brabant Gothic style and its unfinished church tower.

The original plan was to construct an octagonal tower which would be over one hundred meters highs, however half way through the construction, it was noticed that the tower had begun to develop a significant lean. Like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the ground below the tower was too soft to support such a heavy structure, and the tower had begun to tilt. Because of the dangerous incline, the tower was never finished. During the 20th century, restoration work took place on the tower to ensure that the structure would remain safe for visitors. Despite the fact that it remained unfinished, the tower was still the tallest structure in Dordrecht for almost 500 years.

I was challenged by Sally (Just Me) to find and photograph some purple socks. After walking for 4 hours around a very large boot sale I eventually found these. They actually say "Kiss My Bunny" whatever that means. LOL

Here is a link to my favourite purple song:

I had thought this old cypress stump on Armand Bayou was a nest site but it turns out it is currently just a waterfront diner, as both a male and this female Pileated Woodpecker stopped in for breakfast as I floated nearby.

... that French snails are remarkably strong.

This picture has lots of lovely notes. If they are not where they should be when you open the page, going to lightbox and back again should do the trick. It's simply a Flickr quirk. No comment!

They are slimy customers, but they work hard! At the moment this one, Hercules, is getting a bit of shut-eye after a hard day's work!.

But French snails can cause quite a lot of damage and, as you may have noticed, they have a penchant for concrete! I know it's hard to believe that but you can take it as gospel, you have my word for it! And after all, seeing is believing, is it not?

According to a Pillbox Study Group report, over 18,000 pillboxes were built for the defence of Britain in 1940. But, despite the herculean nature of the task, not a single snail, French or otherwise, was mentioned in the report. Classified information is my guess.

Interestingly enough, the first thing the Germans did when they marched into Paris, was to round up all the snails! There was work to be done!

In France, snails grow on trees (see below). At first the trees didn't like snails very much but, in the fullness of time, the snails grew on them. Also, they are said to be edible - that's snails not trees - which means they are fit to eat. Yuck! You may not like them either at first but, given time, they may even come round to growing on you!  (ツ)

The French are eating snails (see below) not only as a delicacy but also as a convenient form of pest control. The downside is that the snail is fast becoming an endangered species which, in turn, could mean the end of the pillbox manufacturing industry as we know it?

View in lightbox and zoom in to admire his craftsmanship.

Do you believe that? Well, if you believe that they can do it, then they can do it, if you believe. So, in your comment below, just say : We do! We do! We do! And I  firmly believe that both Irving Berlin and Johnnie Ray would have endorsed that. ♫♫♫ (new tab).

And to any lingering sceptics, I would say: Be ye not of little faith! The evidence is there, before your eyes, concrete evidence no less. No trick photography, no special effects, no added sweeteners; He’s a real, live French snail asleep on the job! The extent of his capabilities is undeniable. So, where’s the problem?

P'tit Glossaire (en cas de besoin!) ;-))

- shut-eye = sommeil / demi-sommeil

- to come round to = finir par / arriver à

- to grow on (someone) = apprendre à aimer (quelqu un)

- to be slow on the uptake = être lent à comprendre (voir note)

- seen better days = vieux et délabré (voir note)

Mersey Gateway Bridge Supports

Paul-Löbe-Haus

"Band des Bundes", Berlin

"Die ursprüngliche Idee für das Band des Bundes ist eine verbindende Geste. In einer doppelten Symbolik schlagen Regierungsbauten und die Gebäude für die demokratisch gewählten Abgeordneten eine Verbindung und symbolische Brücke zwischen Ost und West. Die Demokratie ist Bauherr. Dem 1995 begonnenen Bau geht die größte bis dahin dagewesene weltweite Projektausschreibung für öffentliche Bauten voran: 835 Architekten bewerben sich um die Aufträge. Es geht darum Deutschlands neue Regierungszentrale wie auch die Büros für die Abgeordneten des Parlaments zu entwerfen.

Den Zuschlag für die Neugestaltung des Spreebogens erhalten die Architekten Axel Schultes und Charlotte Frank. Paul-Löbe-Haus und Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus konzipiert der Architekt Stefan Braunfels. Verworfen werden die ursprünglich geplante Platzanlage Bürgerforum mit Cafés und Geschäften und zunächst die Verlängerung in Richtung Bahnhof Friedrichstraße. (...) Das Paul-Löbe-Haus ist benannt nach dem Reichstagspräsidenten und Alterspräsidenten des ersten Deutschen Bundestags. Es beherbergt die Büros von Abgeordneten, Sitzungssäle und die zentrale Besucherbetreuung. Besonders prägnant ist die Glasfassade an der Westseite. Eine Brücke für schwindelfreie Abgeordnete über und ein Tunnel unter der Spree verbinden das Gebäude mit dem Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus." visitberlin.de
