Please send me a message on flickr, I will reply as soon as possible, thanks. I speak Spanish, Portuguese and English.
Some people will see just a fence, while others will see straight through.
Some will just read it at face value, while others will read right in between the lines.
So... which one is it?!
I think I’ve solved our winter energy crisis!
When the lights get turned off between 4 and 7 on those dark winter nights you just need to turn on a few fairy lights!
Problem solved!
I would suggest that there is a double benefit in that when they stop working, you could just sauté then in a little butter and that’s supper sorted too, however these bonnets are not toxic but have no nutritional value, a bit like a cream cracker in that respect.
So far I’ve collected about 150 and arranged them strategically around the house and guess what happened when I turned all the lights off…….…..yes, **** all!
The drawing board beckons, or was it the corkscrew?
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).
Probably the most quoted verse in all the Bible, but how many will heed His call? How many will turn from their sin, and trust Jesus Christ to save them? This is the most important decision you could ever make. Won't you do it today? If you should have any questions, please feel free to text me on my Flickrmail today. I would be more than happy to help you.
"Go sound the horn; strike up the choir; a sinner is saved--saved from the fire; no more in darkness--He's received my Son; all Heaven's rejoicing!; that's the value of one!"

Es tracta d'un Parc Natural de bellesa salvatge declarat Reserva de la Biosfera per la UNESCO. Un paisatge semidesèrtic de 42.500 hectàrees que impacta i sorprèn amb cada nova visita. Un espectacle insòlit al sud-est de Navarra, pròxim a Tudela, que malgrat la seva aparença nua i inhòspita, amaga grans valors naturals.
En Bardenas Reales, l'erosió dels seus sòls d'argiles, guixos i gresos ha esculpit capritxoses formes creant un món d'aparença gairebé lunar poblat de barrancs, altiplans planes i turons solitaris.
This is a Natural Park of wild beauty declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. It is a semi-desert landscape covering 42.500 hectares that is striking and surprises the visitor every time. An unusual spectacle in south-east Navarre, near Tudela which, despite its bare and inhospitable appearance, is home to great natural values.
In Bardenas Reales, the erosion of its clay, chalk and sandstone soils has sculpted capricious forms in the landscape to create almost lunar effects, full of gullies, plateaux and solitary hills.

Remnants of twin dairy farm silos ( you'd have to look closely to see that there are two silos standing positioned, side by side ).
The silo domes are missing. (caps)
Farm silos are agricultural structures used to store and preserve bulk materials like grain or fermented feed (silage). They protect crops from the elements, prevent spoilage, and maintain nutritional value. The three main types are tower silos (vertical concrete or steel structures), bunker silos (wide concrete trenches), and bag silos (long plastic tubes).

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
The church on top of the island is dedicated to John the Baptist. Over the centuries the church has burned down and been rebuilt several times. It is believed that the first hermitage that existed here was erected in the 9th century. In the 12th century, it became a convent. However, two centuries later, the friars abandoned it taking with them everything of value.
In 1596, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe was attacked again, this time by Sir Francis Drake and his corsairs. They looted everything they found and killed the hermit that was living there by throwing him off a cliff to the rocks and water below.
San Juan de Gaztelugatxe also played a role, albeit small, during the Spanish Inquisition. Witches and their ritualistic meetings known as Akelarre in Basque, make up a part of the Basque mythology. For this reason, the Catholic Church focused much of its time during the inquisition hunting for witches in the region. Several accounts seem to indicate that many of the accused were locked up in the caves of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
The church deteriorated over time and it was eventually demolished in 1886 and then rebuilt from scratch. Unfortunately, during the demolition process, all of the artifacts found in the ground, such as coins and cannon balls, were thrown to the sea.

As always, a big thanks to my loyal visitors especially now when I'm extremely busy and hardly on Flickr at all. Someday I'll be back........
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.

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.
Cymbidiums are found growing naturally in the cool, bright areas near the foothills of the Himalayas. They have a long history of cultivation in China and Japan, where they are also valued for spiritual and medicinal purposes. These beautiful orchids are commonly known as boat orchids.
A shot taken almost 46 years ago to the day uploaded for historical value. And, if you're lucky enough to have the space to model Trent Station back in the 1950s / early 1960s with plentiful 9Fs, 8Fs, Duck 6s, Jubes, D1-10 Peaks, Sulzer Type 2, etc etc, then this image just might be helpful.
In the distant past known as Long Eaton Junction Signal Box, this structure controlled the line to Trent Junction from Attenborough / Nottingham, as well as the by now lifted line to Erewash Junction and Long Eaton station, the track bed of which is still visible curving right under the flyover-line bridge a couple of hundred yards away.
Long Eaton station closed in January 1967 (at which time the name was transferred to the then Sawley Junction station), and presumably the curve from just here to Erewash Junction was lifted shortly afterwards.
Along with so many other signal boxes in the area, its final ignominy came in 1969 with the commissioning of Trent Power Box. However, unlike many of the other redundant boxes which saw swift demolition, this one soldiered on as the Meadow Lane Crossing Shunting Frame for several more years, its role simply to open and close the crossing gates over Meadow Lane.
Advances in camera technology finally made it redundant when control of the crossing was passed to Trent Power Box, and the structure was demolished.
Trent Power Box itself was closed in 2013, after 44 years of service, and control passed to Derby Signalling Centre.
For local road users, delays weren't too bad when this shot was taken but, with the much more intensive contemporary timetables, train frequency has significantly increased. So, if you live on this side of the tracks, your only way out by car is over this crossing - and hearsay suggests the barriers can be down upwards of 40 minutes in every hour. Ouch :(

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The Navy Hall stands alone in a carefully manicured park setting just below Fort George National Historic Site. Designed with clear, clean lines, it is a low, rectangular, stone-clad structure with a hipped-roof clad in copper, and with a symmetrical organization of its windows and entry points. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Heritage Value
The Navy Hall is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.
Historical Value:
The Navy Hall is a very good example of a building associated with the beginnings of the heritage movement in the first half of the 20th century. It illustrates changing approaches to the management of important historic buildings over time. In particular, it illustrates the role of aesthetics in conservation in the 1930s. Originally a commissariat storehouse, regular troops, the militia and also the Boy Scouts used the building, built in 1815. In the 1930s, the building was taken over by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Architectural Value:
The Navy Hall is valued for its good aesthetic design. The exterior fabric of the structure, the stone cladding, the copper clad roof, and the enhanced symmetry of the fenestration are features of the 1930s intervention. These features, clearly of a later era and philosophy, reflect the classical revival tastes of the period and the design idiom of the Niagara Parks Commission. Good functional design is evidenced in the placement of doors and windows, and in the spatial arrangement and planning of the interior.
Environmental Value:
The Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped parkway that runs along the Niagara lakefront and is a familiar landmark to residents and to visitors.
Character-Defining Elements
The character-defining elements of the Navy Hall should be respected.
Its good aesthetic, good functional design and good quality materials and craftsmanship, for example:
-the simple, rectangular massing.
-the low-pitched hipped roof, the copper roof cladding, and the symmetrically placed chimneys.
-the stone cladding of the exterior walls, the small multi-paned windows and large entrances.
-the interior spatial arrangement of the principal rooms.
The manner in which the Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped setting and is a familiar landmark, as evidenced by:
-its simple design and materials that harmonize with the landscaped parkway consisting of well-maintained lawns and walks, all introduced as part of the Niagara Park Commission’s parkway landscaping in the 1930s.
-its visibility and recognition by those frequenting the parkway and the National Historic Site.

PEDESTRIAN
Artist: Ted Fullerton
Location: Municipal Parking Garage at Benton and Charles Street
Medium: Bronze and composite
Composite medium (series of six figures) responding directly to the goal of promoting pedestrian first values.
This site-specific commissioned sculpture installation refers to the City of Kitchener’s goal of promoting pedestrian-first values and “the purpose of place”.
The sculpture is in association with the intent of the Diamond Schmitt Architects’ design of a multi-level parking facility. Its symbolic reference is to inspire optimism, aspiration, limitless possibilities and the importance of the independent individual purpose towards the future. It is a work that has been referenced as being “existential”, which refers to the intricacies of human existence.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2017. Enjoy.
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.
The Merganser tried unsuccessfully for over 20 minutes to try to swallow its catch but eventually had to give up..... a little too big
Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord --Importance of memory--
Landschaftspark is a public park located in Duisburg-Meiderich, Germany. It was designed in 1991 by Latz + Partner (Peter Latz), with the intention that it work to heal and understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it. The park closely associates itself with the past use of the site: a coal and steel production plant (abandoned in 1985, leaving the area significantly polluted) and the agricultural land it had been prior to the mid 19th century
Conception and creation
In 1991, a co-operative-concurrent planning procedure with five international planning teams was held to design the park. Peter Latz’s design was significant, as it attempted to preserve as much of the existing site as possible. Unlike his competitors, Latz recognized the value of the site’s current condition. He allowed the polluted soils to remain in place and be remediated through phytoremediation, and sequestered soils with high toxicity in the existing bunkers. He also found new uses for many of the old structures, and turned the former sewage canal into a method of cleansing the site.
Design
The park is divided into different areas, whose borders were carefully developed by looking at existing conditions (such as how the site had been divided by existing roads and railways, what types of plants had begun to grow in each area, etc.). This piecemeal pattern was then woven together by a series of walkways and waterways, which were placed according to the old railway and sewer systems. While each piece retains its character, it also creates a dialogue with the site surrounding it. Within the main complex, Latz emphasized specific programmatic elements: the concrete bunkers create a space for a series of intimate gardens, old gas tanks have become pools for scuba divers, concrete walls are used by rock climbers, and one of the most central places of the factory, the middle of the former steel mill, has been made into piazza. Each of these spaces uses elements to allow for a specific reading of time.
The site was designed with the idea that a grandfather, who might have worked at the plant, could walk with his grandchildren, explaining what he used to do and what the machinery had been used for. At Landschaftspark, memory was central to the design. Various authors have addressed the ways in which memory can inform the visitor of a site, a concept that became prevalent during Postmodernism.

You might also look at these adresses:
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 :)
A Praia Formosa, em Santa Cruz, Torres Vedras, destaca-se pela sua extensa faixa de areia dourada enquadrada por imponentes falésias sedimentares jurássicas, típicas da costa ocidental portuguesa. A erosão marinha milenar expôs distintos estratos geológicos, ricos em argilas e sal, conferindo à paisagem um valor paleontológico significativo, com frequentes descobertas de fósseis. O acesso ao areal, condicionado pela natureza das arribas íngremes, é feito através de escadarias com miradouros que permitem apreciar a linha de costa e as intervenções de proteção costeira. Marcada por uma cruz num ponto panorâmico, a Praia Formosa integra a Área de Paisagem Protegida das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros e está historicamente associada à estância balnear que floresceu no século XIX, sendo procurada tanto por banhistas como por investigadores do património geológico, apesar dos deslizamentos ocasionais resultantes da contínua erosão.
Praia Formosa, in Santa Cruz, Torres Vedras, stands out for its extensive strip of golden sand framed by imposing Jurassic sedimentary cliffs, typical of the Portuguese west coast. The millennial marine erosion exposed distinct geological strata, rich in clays and salt, giving the landscape a significant paleontological value, with frequent discoveries of fossils. Access to the sandy area, conditioned by the nature of the steep cliffs, is via stairways with viewpoints that allow you to appreciate the coastline and coastal protection interventions. Marked by a cross at a panoramic point, Praia Formosa is part of the Protected Landscape Area of the Serras de Aire and Candeeiros and is historically associated with the seaside resort that flourished in the 19th century, being sought after by both bathers and researchers of the geological heritage, despite the occasional landslides resulting from continuous erosion.
Oh MY! We heard singing the other night and peeked over the rise to see a whole gathering of tiny gypsy bears in tents! Such a joyful noise! We think it was Christmas songs! We were also tipped off not to approach them until they made themselves known, as they value their privacy. As you might imagine, it is driving the other tiny bears crazy not to run over for hugs and holiday wishes!!
***
I fell in love with these little tents! The lady who creates them makes two different sizes. They are crafted with so much care and flare! Bev is an amazing person and an artist in sewing and imagination. Her tents are simply wonders - I can say that after an attempt at even a pup tent was a complete failure for me to create! And these adorable tents in MANY different colors and designs come with two sleeping bags for anyone needing a cozy rest! She & I are having so much fun with a collaboration! No, don't ask yet!

As the gypsy tents happened, I also found and fell in love with some tiny knit bears that have come ALL the way from England! Angela's artful little bears are indeed the gypsy bears that are gathering together here in the States! They are articulated and such colorful little travelers full of personality! There are more than a few of her little ones that she has sent on their way to me, and I know for a fact that several have other destinations, too. So no, I am not telling how many bears yet, either! Watch for "the gathering!"

HTBT, Everyone!
Barton Hill depot in Bristol will be the temporary home for 20901 and 20905 for the next 5 weeks whilst they undergo a repaint into Balfour Beatty livery.
The depot opened in 1840 as a locomotive depot until 1870 when it became a carriage and wagon servicing facility.
I remember it being the home of the Blue Pullman in the early 70s. It was used by RES for a little bit in the mid 90s and went into Arriva ownership in 2011.
Its great to see some locomotives from the 1960s in a depot building dating back to the 1840s.
