Declarada en 1947 Monumento Histórico Artístico Nacional, ostenta desde 1858 por decreto de la reina Isabel II, el titulo de Real Iglesia de los Santos Juanes. En ocasiones y de una forma simpática a los Santos Juanes se le ha llamado la "iglesia de los pillos", porque en su interior se refugiaban "los pillos" (niños que se dedicaban a pequeños hurtos) y que hacían sus pillerías en el trasiego de gente en los alrededores del Mercado o con los propios vendedores del mercado.
Declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1947, it has held since 1858 by decree of Queen Elizabeth II, the title of Real Iglesia de los Santos Juanes. Sometimes and in a sympathetic way the Santos Juanes has been called the "church of the crooks", because inside they took refuge "the crooks" (children who were engaged in petty theft) and who did their tricks in the traffic. of people around the Market or with the market vendors themselves.

Whenever I am sad or happy this song never fails me... <3
“My prayers, my tears, my wishes, fears, and lamentations, were witnessed by myself and heaven alone. When we are harassed by sorrows or anxieties, or long oppressed by any powerful feelings which we must keep to ourselves, for which we can obtain and seek no sympathy from any living creature, and which yet we cannot, or will not wholly crush, we often naturally seek relief in poetry—and often find it, too—whether in the effusions of others, which seem to harmonize with our existing case, or in our own attempts to give utterance to those thoughts and feelings in strains less musical, perchance, but more appropriate, and therefore more penetrating and sympathetic, and, for the time, more soothing, or more powerful to rouse and to unburden the oppressed and swollen heart.”
― Anne Brontë, Agnes Grey
Overdiep is the most recent project in the field of town renewal in Appingedam. It is a large-scale living, shopping and recreation complex, which is characterised by sympathetic architecture that blends with the character of the old centre of Appingedam. The venue takes its name from the new Diep, which forms the border between the old centre of the city and the surrounding area. Overdiep borders directly to the historical centre of Appingedam, with splendid visibility on the Nicolaïkerk and surroundings. In 2009, the first houses were constructed along with a health centre, as well as a new yacht-basin and pavilion. The last phase of the complex was realised in 2011.

On compte 26 espèces de mésanges dans le monde.
Petit oiseau sympathique, il a la cote d' amour partout où on le retrouve ! : )
There are 26 species of chickadees in the world.
Small sympathetic bird, it has the odds of love wherever it is found! :)
In this sad place
Memory hangs on the air
Fragile as Spring snail's tiny shell,
Coming to the sympathetic ear
Gentle as bud's green pulsing in the sun,
Suave as sin in a black velvet glove;
The old faces gaze
Wistfully as birds, among the nodding leaves,
They watch the pleasures they may never share;
And through the twilight hours
Old voices call along the river banks,
And out of the high-walled garden.
Why do they sigh,
The gentle ones in the flowering musk;
And what are the words of the song
The pale stranger sings as he walks
The garden's still, deserted paths,
Like a boy searching for his dog?
Henry Treece
George Washington Carver:
How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
I have to go but will be back later !!
:~)
I know that I am just one day old but I promise myself to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong.
Desperate Dan is a wild west character in the now-defunct Scottish comic magazine The Dandy, and became its mascot. He made his appearance in the first issue which was dated 4 December 1937. He is apparently the world's strongest man, able to lift a cow with one hand. The pillow of his (reinforced) bed is filled with building rubble and his beard is so tough he shaves with a blowtorch.
The character was created by Dudley D. Watkins, originally as an outlaw or ‘desperado’ (hence his name), but evolved into a more sympathetic type, using his strength to help the underdog. After Watkins’ death in 1969, the cartoons were drawn by many other artists, principally Ken H. Harrison, though the Watkins canon was often recycled. When the Dandy became digital-only in 2012, the Desperate Dan strips were drawn by David Parkins.
There is a statue of Dan in Dundee, Scotland, where his publishers, D. C. Thomson & Co. are based.

Une belle sortie hier dans la région d'Ottawa, je m'y suis rendu dans l'espoir de voir un Petit-duc maculé, une Chouette rayée et ou un Grand-duc mais j'ai plutôt eu l'occasion de faire deux merveilleuses rencontres. La première étant un jeune homme fort sympathique Dennis qui allait partager avec moi la deuxième qui était une superbe Chouette Lapone. J'ai suivi sans hésitation le jeune homme vers la cachette de cette magnifique Chouette que je n'avais pas eu l'occasion de voir depuis l'hiver 2017.

A nice outing yesterday in the Ottawa area, I went there hoping to see a Eastern Screech-Owl, a Barred Owl and or a Great Horned Owl but no chance... Owlever I had the opportunity to do two wonderful encounters. The first being a sympathetic young man Dennis who was going to share with me the second one who was a superb Great Gray Owl. I followed without hesitation the young man to the hiding place of this magnificent Owl that I had not had the opportunity to see since winter 2017.
Earlier this summer I met up with another Flickr photographer who is even madder about vintage lenses and cameras than I am. Simon (see links below) has a well supported YouTube channel where he talks about vintage lenses and photography in general. If you are at all interested in vintage lenses his videos are informative, interesting, and entertaining. One of the features of Simon's videos is that he never shows himself to the audience but he has a voice that is memorable. We had a moment of magic on this outing together to the V&A. While we were sitting having a coffee and chatting (about lenses as always!) Simon's first ever fan recognition took place. A chap sitting at the next table recognised Simon's dulcet tones and came over to chat. Turns out he was a fan of Simon's YouTube channel and instantly recognised the voice. 😂

The image here is of the Dale Chihuly glass sculpture on display in one of the main foyers at the V&A. I'm not sure if this is a permanent acquisition by the museum or not. In some ways my own opinion is that while the artistry of Chihuly's work is indisputable (anyone seeing his work on display at Kew Gardens a few years back will know that) I'm not sure whether the setting for this piece works. It seems at odds with it's surroundings in the very Victorian style of the V&A building. I've tried to photograph it in a sympathetic way here, which I think works reasonably well, but when you see the sculpture "in the flesh" my feeling is that it is a little too bold for the setting it's in.

The Saint Mary's Church in St Fagans is a medieval church located in south Wales. Built in the 12th century it underwent extensive and sympathetic restoration in 1859, undertaken by G. E. Street in 1859. The Church of St Mary was listed as a Grade II* building on 28 January 1963.

Titta Ruffo ( 1877- 1953, Hybrid Verismo school )
Walter Legge: "From the his first phrase the audience was vanquished by the overwhelming beauty of his voice—manly, broad, sympathetic, of unsurpassed richness. Such ease of production, such abundance of ringing high Gs! But more: Ruffo's infinite subtlety, variety of tone-colour, interpretive insight and sincerity, his magnificent control, stupendous breathing powers, and impeccable phrasing stamped him as a genius."
Both Battistini and Ruffo displayed exceptional vocal agility and control plus the ability to sustain a long legato line.

Pained piano keys compose
a chorus-less composition.
Melancholic moods crave
to sway back and forth
like bluebells and lilies dancing,
when kissed by the morning breeze
Forlorn flute flirts with sympathetic tunes,
echoing vivid vibrations,
piercing layers of a forgotten heart.
Somber undertones seduce the soul
as it struggles to swim,
silently immersing in sorrowful symphonies.
Yet the orchestra is mute - slumbering
in the ruins of unfinished musings.
Ignorant to the heartbroken harp
that lusts to strum romantic melodies,
but stands in sincere elegance,
decaying as dust suppresses its emotions.
Lyrics float by, searching for a home,
but remain unheard in the absence of the viola.
Its loss has become an enemy
to violin strings, crippled from cries
yearning for their cello comrades.
Alone their music does not co-exist
and falls upon deaf ears.
Music has no providence,
yet the mind is lost in its province.
Searching for soothing serenades
that softly sail ships towards
shores strumming sweet strings.
Sometimes harmonies struggle to enlighten in solitude,
but when composed together, their lyrics live forever.
The Silent One
Simple Musings

Scaristabeg beach on South Harris island, Outer Hebrides lies behind these unsuspecting dunes and the little brook. After having passed two sympathetic Highland Coos one follows this little path to find a breathtaking vista of a Hebridean beach that looks like taken straight out of a catalogue for Caribbean holidays ;) :)
Especially inquisitive sparrows.
Once the most common songbird in European cities, now disappeared in many of them, the chunky and noisy house sparrow is a sympathetic little opportunist whose longtime association with humans has become legendary.

A handmade leather pouch that I use for my pencils and other drawing gear.
I bought it a few years ago from a sympathetic and talented craftsman in small French village. This was his last few months of activity before retirement and he was feeling a bit nostalgic, knowing that nobody would take over the shop and perpetuate the work he did for a lifetime.
On a September morning in 2012, an empty steel train crosses the river Thames on the edge of the North Wessex Downs area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB).
The designation of an area of outstanding natural beauty was adopted by the UK government in 1949 for areas of naturally beautiful landscapes that were too small and lacked the wildness of national parks.
The North Wessex Downs AONB was created in 1972 to conserve and enhance the countryside in and around the chalk downs running from Wiltshire to Oxfordshire.
AONBs have specific planning controls to ensure the character of the landscape is not changed.
Unfortunately since I took this photograph a loophole has changed the view considerably.
The railway line has since been electrified with overhead electrification. This particular scheme used significant amounts of steelwork to support the overhead wires. Although the AONB lobbied Network Rail to consider using less visually intrusive overhead masts, this has overruled.
Today the same view is blighted by a less than sympathetic array of steel stanchions that blight this area of outstanding natural beauty.
Michael Wolf
Life in cities
Michael Wolf (born 1954 in Munich) is a German artist and photographer lives and works in Hong Kong and Paris. His work focuses on the life in big cities.
For the first time ever, working in close collaboration with the Hague Museum of Photography, the Rencontres d’Arles is presenting a selective overview of the autonomous works created by Wolf. Wolf’s key 21st-century theme is “life in cities”, as he observes it in vast metropolises like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Chicago. The striking feature of these impressive series is the changing points of view adopted by the artist in order to show the complexity of modern city life.
The magnum opus of the exhibition is The Real Toy Story installation (2004), featuring over 20,000 plastic “Made in China” toys found by him in junk markets and second-hand shops in the United States. Amid this overwhelming array of mass-produced stuff for kids, Michael Wolf shows sympathetic portraits of individual Chinese assembly-belt workers producing toys to satisfy the manic worldwide demand for cheap consumer goods.
A n unimaginable exhibition ! He has also captured thousands of people living in 32 feet square ! After this visit, we're very happy to come back home !
a Rockabilly Band for Smile On Saturday ;-)
The Stray Cats were formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer in the Long Island town of Massapequa, New York, in 1979 with school friends Lee Rocker (born Leon Drucker) and Slim Jim Phantom (born James McDonnell). Their retro '50s look and sound didn't go over well around Long Island, though, and in the summer of 1980, the group headed to England, where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge.
I met them in France early '80, I interviewed them for the review Rockerilla (I love rock and its roots).
They were very sympathetic !!!

Piano Bluthner équipé du système Aliquot (breveté en 1873): ajout d'une quatrième corde, non frappée par le marteau, qui résonne par sympathie en étant accordée à l'unisson et qui permet de développer des harmoniques colorées dans le medium aigu et l'aigu./ Piano Bluthner equipped Aliquot System(patented in 1873) Aliquot systems use an additional (hence fourth) string in each note of the top three piano octaves. This string is slightly higher than the other three strings so that it is not struck by the hammer. Whenever the hammer strikes the three conventional strings, the aliquot string vibrates sympathetically. Aliquot stringing broadens the vibrational energy throughout the instrument, and creates an unusually complex and colorful tone.
A local landmark nicknamed the Castle in the Sydney suburb of Blakehurst. It was built in the late 1960s by an entrepreneur who started a supermarket chain. The main house is in the style of a grand English country house. It has been added onto over the years, in my opinion, not necessarily in a manner sympathetic to the architectural style of the house. The outdoor lighting was installed by the latest owner. The mansion is surrounded by more typical suburban houses.

Red Rebel Brigade symbolises the common blood we share with all species,
That unifies us and makes us one.
As such we move as one, act as one and more importantly feel as one.
We are unity and we empathise with our surroundings, we are forgiving
We are sympathetic and humble, compassionate and understanding,
We divert, distract, delight and inspire the people who watch us,
We illuminate the magic realm beneath the surface of all things and we invite people to enter in, we make a bubble and calm the storm, we are peace in the midst of war.
We are who the people have forgotten to be!
Red Rebel Brigade was devised by Doug Francisco and Justine Squire from Bristol’s Invisible Circus for the Extinction Rebellion Spring uprising April 2019 in London
An older image (though I haven't actually posted this exact image before), the next in a sequence of shots I took of a departing ferry boat, at the Forth Rail Bridge, South Queensferry, Scotland.
I (think?) my processing has improved (though it's not me to judge!), so I thought I'd process a few images, with more sympathetic processing. The mist is actually dissipating at this point, the sun trying to burn through behind me, so there is quite a lot of light in this shot. The problem here, is not to blow the highlights!, done the best I can with it,
The ferry boat is actually taking workers out to complete the new Queensferry crossing, they guys on board working high up on the massive cranes. I'd like to go back to South Queensferry to shoot the new bridge.
