Timeless classics, black court shoes with a 4" stiletto heel. Worn with a straight black skirt with a back kick pleat.
Ever since I saw kevsyd's (Kevin Best) works, I started to like Still Photography even more and I think I found my favored genre. I know it still has some imperfections, but one book I read once said, "Who cares?", well that's it, who cares? Hope you like it.
The timeless charm of Gainsborough's showpiece, the medieval Old Hall, which stands right in the centre of this Lincolnshire town.
It was built (largely) by the Yorkist Lord of the Manor, Sir Thomas Burgh, who entertained King Richard III here in 1470. However, the house was built on the site of a much earlier dwelling, and there is evidence to suggest that there are few sites in England where a house has stood longer.
In 1596 the house was sold to a London Merchant, William (later Sir William) Hickman, and he added the East Wing between 1597 and 1600. In 1720 his decendent, Sir Neville Hickman moved out of the Old Hall, and into a new dwelling at Thonock, about 2 miles away.
After the Hickmans left, the Old Hall had a somewhat varied existance. For 30 years it was the residence of Lord Abingdon of Gate Burton, and then the Great Hall became a Linen factory, and then a Theatre. Meanwhile the West wing became workshops for tradesmen. John Wesley preached in the Great Hall in 1759, 1761 & 1764, and in 1773 the large room on the upper floor of the East Wing became a place of worship for a congregation of Dissenters.
In the 19th century the West wing was used as tenement dwellings, with a part of the rest of the building being used as the "Queen Adelaide" pub. A partial restoration of the Great Hall was completed in 1849 by Denzil Ibbetson, Chief Engineer of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. However, Ibbetson's restoration did destroy the ancient minstrel's gallery. Further restoration was done in the 1880s, and at that time the usage changed from Theatre to Corn Exchange, and then to Auction Room.
The Ground floor of the East Wing became the Mechanics Institute in 1849, and the large room above became the Town Ballroom. From 1896 until 1952, the ground floor of the east Wing was used as a Masonic Temple.
By the early 1950s, the building was in a parlous state, and was donated to the Town. Gainsborough Urban Distric Council had plans to demolish the building and build a car park on the site, but fortunately this never came to pass. Thanks to the work of local volunteers, especially Mr Harold Brace and the group he founded - the Friends of The Old Hall, the building was not demolished. Instead the building was restored between the late 1950s and the early 1980s, and is now run by English Heritage.
The Old Hall has entertained many illustrious guests down the years, including Kings Henry VII and Henry VIII. Indeed, it was on one of his visits to the Old Hall, that Henry, fat and alone met Catherine Parr, who was to become his sixth and final Wife in 1543.

Prise à l'intérieur d'un monastère, celui de Disket il me semble. Ces étranges objets sont en fait des livres de prières ou plutôt des "boîtes" à livres de prières.
Notre ami ladakh, ancien moine, en possède également un avec différents ouvrages. Ceux-ci sont déjà passés dans les mains de nombreux moines...
A 25 minute exposure taken from an overlook in southwest Virginia with another 3 hours of processing back home. I try not to do a ton of post processing on my pictures anymore, but I couldn't get the look I was going for without it. 3 planes flew through the sky during the shot so I took those out first. Then I did some painfully slow dodge and burning to bring some of the stars out against the background. A few tone curve adjustments brought out the color behind the mountain.
Thanks for stopping by! Admittedly not a great composition but hey, everyone likes star trails right?
Across the wetlands south of Hinckley I don't imagine the scene to be much different today than it was when the Skally Line was constructed. This timeless territory is a great setting for these classic locomotives. January 19, 2015.

TIMELESS (INTEMPORAL) nace con la idea de demostrar la independencia del estilo, la elegancia, o la clase del efecto del tiempo. Un hombre joven, comprometido y ecléctico buscando las líneas de la excelencia para encontrar su propia manera de enfrentarse a un mundo en continuo y vertiginoso movimiento.

AAW August 2014 - Timeless
The challenge is to capture something that can be titled "timeless"
The more symbolic you get the better.
Restrictions: Not just a scenery - has to include a person
Dare: No dare - I think the restriction is enough.
WTI: These are the hands of my parents, married 44 years this October. I'm so proud of them for being an example to me.
In post, ACR and slight levels. No crop.
Shot handheld with my Tamron 90mm macro lens
I wish i had som higer number of aperture to get more of the fly in focus, but i liked this outcome in B&W
This Scania was photographed in Egypt in 1999: I do not know if Ghabbour actually built the bodywork (although I believe that they did build bodywork) or were simply the importers, but, imho, it is a graceful, purposeful design that looks timeless and reminds me of the Duple bodied Dennis "Falcon" Rapide coaches built for Western National in the eightees.
I simply could not resist posting this image as well this week! I feel it will be one of those images which will be timeless to me, mostly because of the black and white and the fact that I was having so much fun. It will be an image that when I look back at it in times to come I will be able to remember the day it was taken on with such clarity that it will feel as if I was the same age, in the same place, with the same feelings. It wasn't supposed to make it to Flickr as it was simply a quick shot of me outside Buckingham Palace, and yet here it is!
Thank you all for taking the time to look at my stream!

For years, Jordan has been associated with its epic history and landscapes, from the hidden ruined city of Petra to the red-sand dunes and canyons of Wadi Rum.
It's a country with stunning history, but not really known for hiking - the Jordan Trail, a recently introduced epic 650km route stretching the entire length of the state from its north to the south, may however well change that perception.
Each hike must have its most popular and admired part, and for the Jordan Trail it comes two-thirds of the way through the route with the stage from the Dana Biosphere Reserve to the ancient city of Petra.
Starting in one of Jordan's most scenic nature reserves, it takes four days mostly on the little-trodden and unmarked paths to finally reach the country's most iconic sights at Petra, which one enters - contrary to the vast majority of visitors - backdoor and alone.
-----
Having stayed in Amman overnight after our arrival and having arranged a camping gas canister via our hotel, we drove our rented car (seemed to be a better choice for us than public transport) to Wadi Musa (the town at Petra). Then we took a taxi to the small settlement of Dana, located right at the edge of the eponymous nature reserve.
The trek starts with impressive views from the curved sandstone cliffs above the reserve and then slowly descends down the long valley of Wadi Dana, following a good track which winds down amidst a splendid sandstone scenery.
Close to the Feynan Eco Lodge, scattered Bedouin settlements (rather simple tents with livestock around) started to appear, and the landscape got more rural character.
The Feynan Eco Lodge itself then emerged from the dusty plains like a Star-Wars building from another planet, with mud-rendered architecture slightly reminding me of ancient settlements in Mali I have seen pictures of. The large building looked both beautiful and bizarre, solar-powered and candle-lit at the same time, and with timeless caravanserai mood of the past centuries.
The Timeless grimm;
These walls have seen,
The birth of all new breeds,
The fall of past kings,
Light and darkness,
And the Timeless Grimm.

4 daytime exposures (shutter speeds ranging from 8 seconds to 13) have been stacked to encapsulate the full range of the fountain. Unfortunately the sky wasn't playing ball, as can be seen with the whitewashed background. Will have to reshoot this with a better sky!
An almost timeless portrait of a shepherd and his flock as they walk through the rain alongside one of wonderful tree lined canals that cut through the landscape near Damme, Belgium.
It's rare to see a shepherd here. I managed to make this image of him as he strode along to catch up with his flock after a brief chat with us. Besides the thrill of capturing a rare sight, I really like the strong receding perspective emphasised by the rows of trees on both sides of the canal.
