Clarke Quay Singapore used to be godowns along Singapore River where boats delivered their goods here to be stored in the 19th century. Today it has been conserved, redeveloped and transformed into a place for dining, pubs and bars which attract tourists and locals.
The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
After two days of heavy rainfall, portions of our local park were transformed into wetlands.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
The exact same location and very slightly different composition as a previous image, this time a few hours later in the day. The first one was taken just before dawn, this one at mid morning.
It goes to show just how transformative light is when it comes to landscape photography.
Snowdrops in my front garden. This small plot was a scrubby area of grass and Dandelions until I transformed it into a proper garden a few years ago.
The first Daffodils are about to bloom soon and should give a succession right through into April ...
always a pleasure to see such vitality and colour in the garden to remind us that Life is good.
La structure de 80 mètres de long sur 16 mètres de haut, est composée de quelque 35.000 planches en bois de toutes les couleurs.
L'oeuvre monumentale éphémère d'Arne Quinze " The Passenger", érigée tout près de la Grand-Place de Mons en ouverture du projet culturel "Mons 2015, Capitale européenne de la Culture" a été entièrement démontée à partir du 12 avril 2021.
"Pour l'artiste, le vide créé par l'oeuvre une fois enlevée fait partie intégrante de sa démarche artistique", a indiqué la Fondation Mons 2025. "Le vide est comme un point de départ d'une nouvelle façon de penser à la manière de rendre nos espaces publics plus diversifiés". Comme annoncé lors de sa conception, les composants de "The Passenger" seront recyclés: le bois utilisé dans la structure sera transformé en pâte à papier et les vis seront récupérées.
The structure, 80 meters long and 16 meters high, is made up of some 35,000 wooden planks of all colors.
The ephemeral monumental work of Arne Quinze "The Passenger", erected near the Grand-Place in Mons at the opening of the cultural project "Mons 2015, European Capital of Culture" has been completely dismantled from April 12, 2021.
"For the artist, the void created by the work once removed is an integral part of his artistic approach," said the Mons 2025 Foundation. "The void is like a starting point for a new way of thinking about the way of making our public spaces more diversified ". As announced during its design, the components of "The Passenger" will be recycled: the wood used in the structure will be transformed into paper pulp and the screws will be recovered.

The American flag blowing in the wind near a window captured here reflecting and distorting in the glass of an old chalk drawing hanging on the living room wall. The soft vertical lines reflected in the glass are from vertical blinds.
It's a lazy photograph, you might say. I snapped it while sitting on the couch.

Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

Eyelashes have the impressive ability to transform your face. Eyelashes complement the face as does lipstick, however eyelashes may actually even do it more.
Take these [Pink&Love] Oh My Autumn Lashes for example. These EvoX lashes draw a contrast between my eyes and eyelids - just like lipstick draws attention to the contrast between my lips and its surrounding facial features.
Long eyelashes could be flirtatious indicators for men, since we tend to blink more slowly than men do. This soft and fluttering accentuating signal undoubtedly serves us as a means of expressing our attractiveness.
Lipstick has been used for centuries by women all over the world to enhance their appearance, express themselves, and feel more confident. I complemented my looks with SENTINUS BEAUTY Ivana Lipstick to draw attention to my lips by making them look fuller and more defined.
To help remind me of my next date, I am wearing this SO SILLY Interactive Fruity Watch. Like my smart watch in RL, it is very fun to wear since it sequentially rolls through different dial faces.
You can find all the the above referenced beauty products exclusively featured at the SWANK Fall into Autumn Event for November.
Taxi to SWANK Fall into Autumn Event:
My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

I suppose it only fitting that life will take root in the structure itself. You see bricks are made from clay and concrete is made from lime, sand and gravel. So, the trees find a way to latch onto the core materials of the building. As they do, with a helping hand from rain and freezing temretures, the once rock hard building materials return to their soil beginnings, providing more material for nature to take root. Nothing goes to waste.
