Unlike other buildings in Kamieskroon this church is in a good condition and well maintained, the heart and soul of the small Namaqualand town.
It was the green curtains in the tower windows that did it for me. :-)
For Sliders Sunday.
Have a great day, everyone!
Unlike many of the butterflies in the garden, this Great spangled fritillary did let me get close. I won't profess to know what is happening in the insect brain but maybe some are interested in their 15 minutes of fame. The Swamp milkweed looks great as always.
Juvenile.
Species: Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax.
Windgather Rocks, Cheshire / Derbyshire, UK.
While its black plumage identifies it as a crow, the chough has a red bill and legs unlike any other member of the crow family. It is restricted to the west of the British Isles. Info:RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
Unlike other wrens that prefer to be hidden in vegetation, the much larger Cactus Wren likes to be out in the open, This one is singing it's heart out
Unlike many materials, aluminum can be recycled infinitely — at least in theory. However, while it is among the most easily recycled material within our waste streams, and among the most profitable, ~383 million tons of aluminum waste still ends up in landfills. We still see aluminum cans as "disposable."

Unlike his female friend the male King Parrot can easily be spotted among the green trees with it's beautiful brightly coloured plumage.
Captured in my garden.
Many thanks for your kind visit 🙏
A diurnal moth. Unlike most other moths, which feed during the night clearwing moths gather nectar from flowers during the day. This one is visiting one of the butterfly bushes in my butterfly garden.
Unlike its namesake dove, the warbler is so called not for how it sounds but how it looks. Seen at Marquette.
Unlike my earlier posting - I am sure this is a Splendid Waxcap. The crucial thing is the yellow flesh throughout the stipe unlike the white flesh of H. punicea.
Unlike Airplanes, birds have no set rules when it comes to landing. (Images of A BLUE JAY. page 10 #26)

Unlike Ralston I was not between a rock and a hard place but the phrase came to mind as the wind thundered in from the Atlantic ocean. Wild places. wild people and wild things have always entralled me. I stood here for hours just watching the light play out. Shot on Samsung 8 auto mode
Unlike most waterfowl, Mottled Ducks (Anas fulvigula) are almost never seen in large flocks, generally traveling in pairs or small groups. Draining and destruction of marshland attributed mostly to agricultural and urban development, have raised concerns about the status of these wetland habitats and the wildlife that depend on them. Also, a major threat to their survival is the release of numerous pet Mallards in Florida and elsewhere in southeast; these feral birds interbreed with Mottled Ducks, diluting the wild population of the latter. The complete hybridization could result in the extinction of the Florida Mottled Duck, which is a defining member of the unique suite of species characteristic of south Florida’s prairie ecosystem.

Luxe Paris Brings Mondrian's Vision to Second Life: A Modern Take on High Fashion
In the ever-evolving world of Second Life fashion, Luxe Paris has once again proven why it remains a beacon of innovation and artistry. Their latest release, the Mondrian Dress, is more than just an outfit—it’s a statement. Inspired by Piet Mondrian’s iconic abstract art, this dress bridges the gap between the storied past of modern art and today’s haute couture.
The Fashion History Behind the Mondrian Dress
The roots of the Mondrian Dress trace back to the 1960s when Yves Saint Laurent introduced his groundbreaking "Mondrian Collection." His designs drew directly from Mondrian’s grid-based compositions of bold primary colors bordered by thick black lines. This collection was a revolutionary blend of art and fashion, showcasing how garments could transcend their functional purpose to become walking canvases of artistic expression.
Mondrian’s art, characterized by its simplicity and balance, was an ideal inspiration for Saint Laurent’s vision of modern elegance. By integrating these abstract paintings into couture, Saint Laurent didn’t just dress his models—he turned them into living embodiments of modernist art.
Luxe Paris: Revitalizing Mondrian for the Digital Era
Fast forward to today, and Luxe Paris’s rendition of the Mondrian Dress breathes new life into this classic design within the vibrant landscape of Second Life. The dress pays homage to the original with its striking grid patterns and color blocking. Yet, it reimagines the style with a contemporary twist that fits perfectly into the virtual world’s dynamic fashion scene.
The Luxe Paris Mondrian Dress is a seamless fusion of past and present. While it retains the essence of Mondrian’s minimalist aesthetics, it also incorporates modern elements like:
Dynamic Textures: The dress features intricate, high-definition textures that give the fabric a sense of depth and movement, adding realism to its virtual representation.
Flattering Silhouettes: Unlike the boxy shapes of the original 1960s design, Luxe Paris has tailored this dress to accentuate the avatar’s form, creating a sleek and sophisticated silhouette.
Styling the Mondrian Dress
This dress is a statement piece that doesn’t need much to shine. Pair it with minimalistic accessories like geometric earrings or a sleek clutch to enhance the artistic vibe. For shoes, opt for bold, single-tone heels to complement the dress’s striking colors.
In the virtual world of Second Life, where creativity knows no bounds, the Mondrian Dress by Luxe Paris stands as a tribute to both the history of fashion and the limitless possibilities of modern design. It’s a reminder that great art never fades; it evolves and adapts, finding new ways to inspire.
Final Thoughts
Luxe Paris’s Mondrian Dress is more than an outfit; it’s a celebration of artistic legacy and modern ingenuity. By bringing this iconic design to Second Life, Luxe Paris has not only honored the spirit of Mondrian and Saint Laurent but has also set a new standard for digital haute couture. So, whether you’re an art aficionado, a fashion enthusiast, or simply someone who loves to make a statement, the Mondrian Dress is a must-have for your Second Life wardrobe.
Step into the world of high fashion with Luxe Paris and wear a piece of history, reimagined for today. This dress is now exclusively available at the January Swank Renew Yourself Event:

Unlike the Eurasian tree sparrow that I photographed yesterday and is a rare oddity, this American tree sparrow is right at home here at Lake Meyer Park and where it is supposed to be for the winter season.
Unlike the Campanulas the garden Inulas managed to attract some leafcutter bees into the garden. Most have been M. ligniseca, with the odd M. centuncularis. However, not a single M. willughbiella has been seen in the garden this year.
Unlike those in the East Coast, there is no camera movement here. Just a window reflection of the marina.
Hope you're all safe.

Unlike the normal orange and black usually seen here, a trio of Ohio Central EMD's power a loaded stone train up and out of Brewster as they cross the R.J. Corman at Justus. Eastbound on W&LE rails, they'll soon make a southward turn towards Morgan Run and eventually Coshocton to spot up the stone at National Lime & Stone Co.
Unlike Auric Goldfinger, I don't have the Midas touch... when it comes to houseplants, I have the exact opposite. This poinsettia set a new record, I think.
Unlike in the Nethelands, East Germany has a healthy population of these Shrikes. I found this one, together with a female and 2 juveniles alongside a bike path. wonderful birds, which I can't see enough. Greifswald, Germany.
Unlike most members of the woodpecker family, Flickers spend most of their time on the ground, searching for the ants and beetles that make up most of their diet. This one is in my yard in NE Oklahoma.
Quite unlike today, there were a few quite beautiful, sunny, warm mornings in late September, often with a heavy overnight dew. A good opportunity to try out a different lens on my camera. Unfortunately I 'lost' the Waterhouse stop/filter that I had put over the front element so the result is at full aperture and a bit soft.
And then spent part of this afternoon again playing around with various mount/presentation ideas. Happier with this although not sure it is better than any other or if it adds to the photograph in any way.
Thank you Katherine for the initial inspiration to present the photograph in this way.

Unlike frog and toad tadpoles, newt larvae develop their front legs first, then their back legs. Once they have absorbed their gills and left the water, they are known as 'efts'.

The DVLA files show this scooter to be a 1959 registered 125 cc Lambretta. Look closely and you can still see what looks like the original manufacturers name adorning the minuscule fuel tank. The owners have clearly replaced the seat and fitted new trees so I guess this little scooter is still used.
Photo taken in Hay on Wye outside one of the many second hand book shops the town is so famous for. You now know where to go if you want read up on the archeology of the nursery or the first 60 years of the Citroen 2CV.
Unlike my two Ferruginous Hawk shots recently posted, this one was at eye level, watching me from a fence post as I slowed to a stop in the rolling red Toyota blind and then turned sideways in the middle of the road to shoot out the passenger's window. Too much attention! It launched immediately, but at least gave me a parting glance so I managed more than another butt shot.
This is a different individual from the other two - the underwing markings do not match up. You can see how big this hawk is, which is why I like this shot. The Ferruginous is our largest native hawk, a little bigger than the Red-tailed, Rough-legged, and Swainson's.
I am tracking three potential nesting sites this spring. All have been used in the past but two are showing no sign of occupancy yet this year. One was the site of a catastrophic failure last June when an overnight wind storm snapped the main support branch and the nest and its three chicks ended up on the ground. When I arrived on the scene the next morning, all the chicks were dead and two had been partially eaten by scavengers; the adults were circling above and landing on nearby power poles, in clear distress.
It was pretty upsetting to see, and I can't bring myself (yet) to share any of the earlier photos, when they were alive and healthy. Ferruginous chicks are white and fluffy and really cute. The sad event did hit me hard with a reminder of how precarious their lives are - every successful nest in a prairie tree is a miracle! And every tree that some landowner decides to cut down, for whatever reason, is a huge loss.

Unlike the stilted settlements we toured in Kota Kinabalu in the Malaysian part of the island of Borneo the stilted portion of the Brunei capitol of Bandar Seri Begawan is a fully operating community with most facilities you would find in any large town or city. I understand that over 10,000 live in this sprawling community.
I guess the faster your speedboat goes or looks the greater your chances of picking up fair paying tourists. This bloke here looked to be trying his best.
Unlike other warblers, the Chestnut-sided is more numerous now than in the days of Audubon. Lapeer SGA.
Unlike net on the window in the living room, this one doesn't have spacer, so returning was much tougher task, successfully acomplished.
Unlike an adult bald eagle that is quite easy to see when they are sitting in a tree, these immature bald eagles blend right in with all the branches so even though they are very big they can be easily overlooked.
The Tawny Coaster, an Asian species that was first noticed in northern Australia around 2016. Unlike many other invasive species, the Tawny Coater is not having any negative environmental impact.
Unlike a lot of other birds the male Kingfisher is less colourful than the female. See following image of the female.
Unlike their shyer brethren, a robin will peck your eye out if you enter their turf and don't photograph them.
Unlike primates, these woodpeckers are able to resolve conflict through posturing and a series of intense staredowns. Lake St. Clair Metropark.
Definitely unlike where we have just returned home from, which was near Skegness on the Lincolnshire Coast.
But hey, we walked the beach every day twice a day slowly it must be said. The sea was the North Sea and brown unlike the blue of the Atlantic Ocean but there were waves and that mesmerising movement of waves lapping and on occasion surging in with some big waves hitting the shore. All in all (apart from the worst WIFI signal on that part of the coast it felt very restorative. Cornwall it is NOT though but we still enjoyed our break and re the PVCs I am no worse or better than before we went and my camera as usual was capturing the moments but they look nothing like these lol..Sue :)
Arachnid eats insect! Unlike yesterday's grasshopper, this one wasn't so lucky. This is the underside or ventral view of a female Banded Garden Spider, spinning silk to enshroud the hapless hopper she has already killed. Her spinneret - the silk producing organ - is that circular brown shape on her upper abdomen ("upper" because her preferred position is upside down).
Backgrounds are very important in macro photography, and here my result is sub-optimal: too much detail. Yet I felt I needed f/16 to have enough depth of field to get both the live and dead subject in focus. And I was unable to maneuver into a better position. In retrospect, I wish I had tried some wider f-stops as well, but I was nearing the end of a long, hot day, and probably addled.
Tomorrow, a portrait of this species, without cocooned prey, but with a better background.

Unlike the beaches of our imagination, the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is very rainy (3.5 m/year) and the sun is rare. But we can swim anyway!
Please, have a visit to the world scientist's warning to humanity. Thanks.
Created for the "Award Tree" Group's "Blue Fudge 2" challenge. Utilizing an older SOOC shot from my archives for its intense blue.
Acknowledging, with hand on heart, my "Canadianness". There's an oblique nod here to one of my favourite Canadian artists, Lawren Harris and his work. One piece in particular. His colour scheme is quite different but it's the same kind of evergreen branches, laden with snow. You might say my image is night to his day.
Harris was a member of "The Group of Seven", a much loved and utterly Canadian assembly of painters the sought out and truly conveyed a sense of the unique Canadian landscape. His work stands out for it's lack of heavy texture ( impasto ) and it's ethereal, even mystical, atmosphere. There is always a light outside of the frame entering in from an unusual angle, as if it were divine.
Indeed, in his later years, Harris become deeply involved in Theosophy, a 19th century mystical moment that was somewhat Platonic or Neo-Platonic in its views. Utterly unlike, but sharing the same motivation, Harris, like Piet Mondrian, also a Theosophist, sought to convey something of a higher realm of ideal form through his work. His last paintings were purely abstract but if one looks long enough, one can still see references here and there to the Canadian landscape.

Unlike dolphins porpoise don't share the same curiosity regarding humans.
We were lucky to see this one and it's companion with Oban Sea Tours.

Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to view and fave my photos and in particular to those kind enough to comment. It is very much appreciated.

Unlike most of their leggy heron cousins, the night herons feature a stocky build and a short, thick neck. They are usually most active after dark (hence, the name). During the day you usually find them sitting hunched and motionless in trees near water. But it's nest-building time again, and this one's found a branch that's just right for the occasion. That wisp of white plumage extending from the back of the head is another sure sign of the breeding season.

Unlike most moths, which are nocturnal, clearwing moths are diurnal, active and collecting nectar in daylight. This one was nectaring at one of my butterfly bushes.
Unlike the train stations back home, in Perth, Western Australia - the ones in Myanmar are absolutely chaotic and full of fun. They are terrifically busy, full of people and diverse in character since you can pace from one end to another and view the different carriage classes. These two women looked anxious, their eyes darting from left to right - their heads back and forth, possibly searching for someone. I don't know if they ever found who, or what they were looking for, but they were so involved that they never even knew I was there.
Unlike me, Bess is calmly awaiting the results of the US election. With all the stress, and Covid, we're both concerned about the health of our American friends.
Mom left, not wondering how I remain…
I planned my death carefully, unlike my life, which meandered along from one thing to another, despite my feeble attempts to control it.

Unlike his female counterpart, this guy has avoided Janice's yard through most of the winter, although he could often be heard in nearby areas! The last time I saw him and got a shot was on December 1st, but Janice has seen him appear early in the mornings at times since then...he was very active in the yard quite often yesterday...it was about time! 😁

Spray roses refer to roses that grow with clusters of blooms on one stem or branch, unlike long-stem roses that produce one bloom per stem.
These roses create a spray of smaller blooms and are typically sold as sweetheart roses at the florist.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
