Another view of the Tall Trees sculpture in Albert Road, taken during a dog walk. The building in the background used to be a police station, but now it's an O' Neil's, part of the restaurant chain (previously the Goose at the V&A)
The original design by artists Vanessa Cutler and Dr. Cate Watkinson was of a tunnel-wave-like structure of glass lit up from below. This design then morphed in to a family of curved glass panels that are lit within at night, guiding people in to Albert Road.
To be honest, tipsy, tired and sexually frustrated...❤❤
Trying not to make it obvious that I'm struggling to keep it tucked away and flat...🙈❤

2024 International Flower & Garden Festival
EPCOT - flower-show display - Bright & Magical!
Orlando, Florida U.S.A. - 4/26/24 - Spring 2024
Beautiful bright colors abound wherever you look during the
annual Flower and Garden Festival, held every March-May.
It features fantastic gardens and amazing Disney topiary.
Could not have been a more beautiful day! Come and visit!
The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, inaugurated in 1994, uses specially themed floral displays throughout the park, including topiary sculptures of Disney characters. Guests can meet gardening experts and learn new ideas they can use in their own home gardens. The 30th annual event is scheduled for March 1, with an extended run of two months, leading up to July 5. Each event takes more than a full year to plan and more than 20,000 cast
member hours. Just a joy to behold annually in Central Florida.

The tall stalks of the reeds from a pond stand out from the bright colors in the background. Fall is here in Atlanta and the horsetail plants spore cones at the stem tips are now brown, and dried out, indicating the end of this years growth.
Comments and constructive feedback are always appreciated!
The Indian grass on the prairie.of Kansas is close to 6' tall this year. The rains came at the right time for it's growth.
Back to the archives as The water ways museum opens up soon at Gloucester Docks... a trip that might suit Henry during the school hols !!!
After lots of renovation and hard graft we're delighted to announce that we will be reopening the National Waterways Museum on Friday 29 July.
The museum is celebrating the role Gloucester Docks and the local canal network had in transporting goods to the industrial Midlands. Our new bright and engaging galleries will showcase the uniqueness of the River Severn and Gloucester & Sharpness Canal.
The renovation has been made possible thanks to over £1m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and DCMS/Wolfson Museums & Galleries Improvement Fund. Read more about our facelift.
Not only is Gloucester a great day out with the family, it's packed with history and even has connections with Disney. Gloucester Docks was used in the latest Disney’s blockbuster ‘Alice Through The Looking Glass’ and it’s possible to cruise along the same section of water used in the film. .. wikipedia

The sun was to my back and illuminated the fields in front of these rain columns. The small stand of trees was a bonus
A tall ship on Lake Michigan. I enhanced the color of the sky a bit in editing with a slight gradiant filter in order to offset the blue water. I just love how the water sparkles when the sun is shining just right and you manage to have the settings on the camera set just so. I am pleased with this one and glad this turned out the way it did. Sparkling water doesnt always work out well for me when I photograph it.

With a main mast that towers over twelve stories high and the largest working mainsail on the north coast, the 160 ft schooner Zodiac is a living piece of maritime history.
Early morning at Woolwich. The left hand ship is The "Nao Victoria" replica of the first ship to sail around the world. 1592 I believe. Totally amazing.
July 15-18, 2010 at Bay City, Michigan. Eleven Tall ships around the world attended this event.

I planned and paid to board all eleven tall ships but the waiting time for each ship was around one to two hours and there was no way I was going to wait in line with my baby for hours in the hot sun for anything. :'(
This 18" tall Tomte is one of a pair Niqui has crafted this Christmas. Tomte's are traditional characters in Scandinavian Folkore and are particularly associated with Christmas in Sweden.
The hat is all hand embroidered, including the detached buttonhole rose to the left, and the braid is a new skill Niqui has recently learned to do.

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170-year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.

The building is Grade II listed
www.jhluxton.com/Shipping/Shipping-Companies-Estuary-and-...
Seacombe Ferry and omnibus terminus was constructed between 1930-3 to designed by L St G Wilkinson, the Wallasey Borough Surveyor for the municipally owned Wallasey Ferries and Corporation Motors. These were incorporated into the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive (MPTE) in 1969 with the combined Birkenhead and Wallasey Ferries being rebranded as Mersey Ferries. Following bus deregulation The MPTE became Merseytravel.
Comprises brick with Portland stone dressings; tiled roofs. Two ranges, one of a single story parallel to the Mersey containing booking and entrance halls, the other returning, of two storeys, containing waiting rooms, workshops and offices which are now being repurpsed as the Eureka Science attraction due to open in 2023.
Both ranges connected by a loggia (defining two sides of a courtyard bus station), supported by paired Doric columns. The riverside range with deep hipped roof and monumental central clock tower, the latter slightly tapering to upper courses, the clock faces over ventilation slits contained within superordinate arches, the stepped plinth, with stripped classical detailing, of stone; all this over a broken pedimented projecting entrance block (all stone) with tall round-headed arch.
Loggia of 3-bays to either side with clerestory windows containing iron chevron- patterned glazing bars. The return range of eleven bays, similarly fenestrated to both ground and 1st floors, with doors treated in the same manner. Outer bays with overhanging eaves; central bays with stepped parapets surmounted by urns and central flagstaff over municipal coat of arms.
Contemporary fittings include bronze lamps. Interior: hall with massive unadorned round-headed arches of three orders (to front range); tie-rod roof; part-glazed.
Several contemporary features include ticket offices with chevron and other art-deco style glazing patterns. A fine restrained composition in the simplified classical style popular at the time. Historical note: the first commercial shore- based Radar station in the world for the navigation of ships was installed at the Seacombe Terminal buildings in 1947.
