There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions.

We do not use pennies any more in Canada. Which makes them useless and basically junk. Sometimes you pay a few penies less and sometimes you pay a little more.
Happy Macro Mondays

The dahlia originates from the high plateaus of Mexico, where it originally grew as a wildflower. Indigenous peoples, including the Aztecs, cultivated these flowers not only for their aesthetic value but also used their long, hollow stems as water conduits. The botanical name, pinnata, honors Anders Dahl, an 18th-century Swedish botanist and student of Carl Linnaeus.
Longlands Lake is on the site of the former Longlands iron ore mine, which first produced ore in 1879 from four pits. West Cumbria haematite was particularly valued because of its high metal content (51% on average at Longlands). However, by 1924 the mines had been abandoned, and in 1939 the mines started to subside, flooding the area to create what is now Longlands Lake.
Longlands was aquired by Cumbria County Council in 1980, and through sensitive management is now a haven for wildlife of all kinds. The combination of open water, the confluence of the Rivers Ehen and Keekle, herb-rich grassland, gorse scrub and broadleaved woodland invites a broad range of bird species. There is a wide variety of wildflowers, which are at their best in early summer.

A favorite sunrise over Idaho's Lake Cascade. The clouds and colors were bold and dynamic.
Thank you for your gracious comments, encouragement and valued friendships during the past year, and more. Much appreciated!
Wishing you all the best in the New Year!
On a rather unremarkable sunset, with an unusually high temperature for this time of year, 66°F or 19°C at 6:20 pm (today´s highest was around 75ºF or 24ºC in the capital), this is the view of the Five Towers from the northern part of Madrid.
A gradual decrease in temperatures is expected over the next few days, reaching more typical values for the second half of autumn.
How's your autumn going? How's your spring going?
I wish all those who have the opportunity to enjoy this magical spectacle a happy aurora borealis viewing.

Las Cinco Torres en el anochecer del miércoles, Madrid, España
En un atardecer no demasiado vistoso, con una temperatura anormalmente elevada para la fecha, de 19ºC a las 6:20 pm (la máxima hoy en la capital fue del alrededor de 24ºC), en uno de los primeros atardeceres antes de las 6:00 pm, esta es la vista de las Cinco Torres desde la zona norte de Madrid.
Los próximos días se espera un descenso paulatino de las temperaturas hasta llegar a valores más normales para la segunda mitad del Otoño.
¿Cómo va vuestro Otoño? ¿Cómo va vuestra Primavera?
Os deseo un feliz avistamiento de auroras boreales a todos aquellos que tengáis la oportunidad de disfrutar de tan mágico espectáculo.

Now no one can say that Christmas is not here, lighting the homes of so many families, feeling the magic of the Birth of Jesus one more year among us, in a very complicated year, a sad year, but in which we have learned the value of small things, the value of friendship, solidarity and family.
In just a week we will be on Christmas Day, and I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy previous days, illusion, peace, hope and love.

Llega la Navidad a la ciudad... Madrid, España
Ahora ya nadie puede decir que la Navidad no está aquí, iluminando los hogares de tantas familias, sintiendo la magia del Nacimiento de Jesús un año más entre nosotros, en un año muy complicado, un año triste, pero en el que hemos aprendido el valor de las pequeñas cosas, el valor de la amistad, la solidaridad y la familia.
En tan solo una semana estaremos en el día de Navidad, y aprovecho para desearos a todos felices días previos, ilusión, paz, esperanza y amor.

In the Japanese Garden on the Clingendael estate you will even find a tea pavilion.
This is the most eye-catching and is a popular place to admire the garden from there. In the tea pavilion you will find an indication of the age of the garden. The date "9-7-1913" is applied in the ridge of the pavilion. The Japanese Garden is the oldest of its kind in the Netherlands and has a high historical value.
Thoughtfully;
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Le case galleggianti a Sausalito. Rifugio per bohémiens e hippy negli anni '50 e '60, oggi fra le più ambite e costose abitazioni della San Farncisco Bay Area.
A haven for bohémiens from Frisco in the '50s and for hippies in the '60s, today these floating homes are among the most valued and expensive properties in the San Francisco Bay Area.
it also comes from the mind and the heart of the artist. The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions :-)

Frankfurt is one of the few European cities with a large cluster of high rise building in its downtown area; in many other European cities, skyscraper construction was not well received in the past due to the historical value of existing buildings. For this reason, Frankfurt is sometimes referred to as "Mainhattan" (a portmanteau of the local Main river and Manhattan), and Chicago am Main.

Thank you everyone so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups
Slow me down, Lord
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace
with a vision of the eternal march of time.
Give me amid the confusion of the day,
the calmness of the eternal hills.
Break the tension of my nerves and muscles
with the soothing music of the singing streams
that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical restoring power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking MINUTE vacations,
Of slowing down to look at a flower,
to chat with a friend,
to pat a dog,
to read a few lines of a good book.
Slow me down, Lord
and inspire me to send my roots
deep into the soil of life's enduring values
that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.

There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2017. Enjoy.

The Jurassic Coast begins in Exmouth, East Devon, and continues for 95 miles to Old Harry Rocks, near Swanage, Dorset. It is England's only natural World Heritage Site, and was inscribed by UNESCO in 2001 for the outstanding universal value of its rocks, fossils and landforms.
A shot uploaded for interest value finds a number of Hymeks, and a Warship, lounging in the scrapyard at Swindon Works, awaiting the cutter's torch, in March 1975.
The cold, bleak day sort of sums up the mood as, by now, BR's drive to rid themselves of diesel-hydraulics locomotives was underway with nothing short of a vengeance.
Nearest the camera looking decidedly sorry for itself is 7068 and, just behind her, is Warship class 806 (previously "Cambrian"), and then another Hymek, 7023.
Just to the left of 7068 can be seen the remnants of 7054 - one of the few and perhaps the only one, to still be carrying its original green livery when withdrawn. See also link attached ....

English ten pound note.
If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.
That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.
The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.
Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).
Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.
This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.
One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)
