"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!"

10-12 years of waiting on a list to have a Trabant. Or 40 years of a different kind of waiting that seemed an infinity. 60 years ago, DDR’s motorized dream started to spread all over the streets. And then again, another river of Trabis, along the Berlin Wall, streaming through the Charlie Checkpoint, taking home the East German citizens after a 40 years trip into a dimension where everything was immovable.
Truth is, the Trabant broke through the proverbial wall long before it crossed into West Berlin. Also called a “spark plug with a roof”, the Trabant is a s y m b o l of a nation who knew how to go beyond. Not only was its body built of recycled materials, but it could run on whiskey, cooking oil or virtually whatever else could burn. The main problem with the engine was the smoky exhaust and the pollution it produced. A reunified Germany discovered that this smoky box-shaped car, whose rasping engine emitted noxious clouds of blue exhaust, was impossible to recycle or dispose of because the Duroplast fails to compress, incinerated gives off toxic fumes and leaches chemicals if buried. What has never been a problem for East German engineers was now a problem for German engineers. (Apparently, it can be shredded, mixed with concrete to render the chemicals inert and pressed into building bricks, though has never been accomplished on a significant scale.)
Made of nothing + lots of imagination, the Trabi disappeared in its own smoke, swallowed by progress and history. The Trabi has vanished but it’s more alive than ever, brought back to life by the fans of the cult car, rescued, restored and transformed by the worldwide enthusiasts. Cuz if in the East was cancelled, crushed and rejected, in the West was wanted, valued and accepted.

I know you think I got it all figured out
내가 당신의 모든 걸 이해할 수 있을 거라 생각했다는 것을 알아요
'Cause I walk around like my head's in the clouds
나는 공상에 빠진 듯 걸어가니까
But I'm just a boy with his heart pouring out of his head
하지만 저는 그저 머릿속 생각들을 풀어놓는 소년인 걸요
I wish that you could see the pain that I've seen
내가 겪은 이 고통을 알아줬으면 해요
And all of the times I spent being not me
내가 아닌 모습으로 살았던 모든 시간들을
I hope you know that it's not always happy in my head
나의 머릿속에서 난 항상 행복하지 않다는 것을 알아줬으면 해요
'Cause I don't know
모르겠으니까
The perfect road to go down
완벽한 길이 어딘지 모르겠으니까
But I know
하지만 난 알아요
I'm trying my best
난 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best to be okay
쓰러지지 않기 위해 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best but every day it's so hard
난 최선을 다하고 있어요, 하지만 하루하루가 너무 힘드네요
And I'm holding my breath
난 숨을 죽일 거예요
I'm holding my breath 'til I can say
내가 말할 수 있을 때까지 숨을 죽일 거예요
All of the words I wanna say from my heart
내가 진심으로 하고 싶은 모든 말들
If you really wanted I could ley you inside
당신이 진심으로 원한다면 난 당신을 받아들일 거예요
It's been so long and I've got nothing left to hide
한참이 지났고 난 이제 숨길 것이 없어요
Would you believe me if I told you that I've got flaws
내게 결점이 있다면 믿어줄래요?
Now it's time to let the curtains unfold
이제 커튼을 걷어 젖히고
And tell all the stories that I didn't want told
내가 하기 싫었던 말들을 해야 할 때가 됐군요
I let it out so I unburden my soul I won't stop
난 내 속마음을 털어놓을 거예요, 멈추지 않을 거예요
'Cause I don't know
모르겠으니까
The perfect road to go down
완벽한 길이 어딘지 모르겠으니까
But I know
하지만 난 알아요
I'm trying my best
난 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best to be okay
쓰러지지 않기 위해 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best but every day it's so hard
난 최선을 다하고 있어요, 하지만 하루하루가 너무 힘드네요
And I'm holding my breath
난 숨을 죽이고 있어요
I'm holding my breath 'til I can say
내가 말할 수 있을 때까지 숨을 죽일 거예요
All of the words I wanna say from my heart
내가 진심으로 하고 싶은 모든 말들
I'm trying my best
난 최선을 다하고 있어요
I'm trying my best to be okay
쓰러지지 않기 위해 최선을 다하고 있어요
I'm trying my best but every day it's so hard
난 최선을 다하고 있지만 하루하루가 너무 힘드네요

For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes
at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light
and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding
atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.

"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

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.
I sowed these a little late in the season, pricked them out but never got round to planting them so they are still in their tray and started to flower there the other day. When it is specially cold I bring them indoors! We didn't really have the right summer for them, they need it warm and sunny to do well.
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
The Merganser tried unsuccessfully for over 20 minutes to try to swallow its catch but eventually had to give up..... a little too big
Take a moment from time to time to remember that you are alive.
I know this sounds a trifle obvious, but it is amazing how little time
we take to remark upon this singular and gratifying fact.
By the most astounding stroke of luck an infinitesimal portion
of all the matter in the universe came together to create you
and for the tiniest moment in the great span of eternity
you have the incomparable privilege to exist ...

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 :)

I was annoyed at myself when I downloaded these to my computer. I hadn't used my tripod but thought I was keeping still enough to get a few shots of the bees as they were making their way through the little Susies. Oh well, at least I captured the little critter.
Long before its prevalence as an ornamental, the black-eyed Susan was highly valued for its medicinal properties. Reports note that the pre-colonial Native American tribes like the Ojibwa, Chippewa, Menominee, and Potawatomi tribes utilized (and perhaps still do) black-eyed Susans as herbal medicine.
Black-eyed Susans are considered a symbol of encouragement and motivation, which can be attributed to the plant’s adaptability and widespread availability.

On the 15th December 2010, they killed-off the Harrier to save less than £1bn. This year the UK government has already spend more than £300bn fighting COVID-19. That’s more money per day on COVID-19 than the entire savings from retiring the Harrier force.

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.
The Morgan Plus 4 Super Sports model was introduced late in 1961, offering arguably the best price-for-performance value available at that time. Its lightweight aluminum body provided crisp handling in a design reminiscent of the great fully fendered sports cars of the 1930s.
Between 1961 and 1968 only 104 Triumph TR4A-engined aluminum-bodied Super Sports were produced. Of the 95 two-seat cars built for sports car competition in the United States and abroad, 50 carried the low-bodied roadster coachwork of this example.
The example shown here-“Baby Doll V”-is famous in Morgan circles. It was ordered from the factory in the spring of 1962 by Lew Spencer, a well-known southern California SCCA member and local Morgan dealer. This car was to be his ultimate Morgan race car; a sleek low-body successor to Baby Doll IV, the car with which he won the 1962 SCCA C-production National Championship.
Fortunately for his racing competitors, by the time Baby Doll V arrived, Spencer had sold the Morgan dealership to go to work for Carroll Shelby. After that Spencer could only campaign Baby Doll V on occasional outings in nearby SCCA National events. He was successful in the few events he was able to attend.
The amazing Morgan Baby Dolls are accomplished “giant killers” in historic circles, where they have regularly beaten small-block Corvettes, Porsches, Abarths, and Jaguar E-types, despite their smaller displacement engines.

Brief synthesis
Situated in North Yorkshire, the 18th century designed landscape of Studley Royal water garden and pleasure grounds, including the ruins of Fountains Abbey, is one harmonious whole of buildings, gardens and landscapes. This landscape of exceptional merit and beauty represents over 800 years of human ambition, design and achievement.
Studley Royal Park is one of the few great 18th century gardens to survive substantially in its original form, and is one of the most spectacular water gardens in England. The landscape garden is an outstanding example of the development of the ‘English’ garden style throughout the 18th century, which influenced the rest of Europe. With the integration of the River Skell into the water gardens and the use of ‘borrowed’ vistas from the surrounding countryside, the design and layout of the gardens is determined by the form of the natural landscape, rather than being imposed upon it. The garden contains canals, ponds, cascades, lawns and hedges, with elegant garden buildings, gateways and statues. The Aislabies’ vision survives substantially in its original form, most famously in the spectacular view of the ruins of Fountains Abbey itself.
Fountains Abbey ruins is not only a key eye catcher in the garden scheme, but is of outstanding importance in its own right, being one of the few Cistercian houses to survive from the 12th century and providing an unrivalled picture of a great religious house in all its parts.
The remainder of the estate is no less significant. At the west end of the estate is the transitional Elizabethan/Jacobean Fountains Hall, partially built from reclaimed abbey stone. With its distinctive Elizabethan façade enhanced by a formal garden with shaped hedges, it is an outstanding example of its period.
Located in the extensive deer park is St Mary’s Church, a masterpiece of High Victorian Gothic architecture, designed by William Burges in 1871 and considered to be one of his finest works.
Criterion (i): Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey owes its originality and striking beauty to the fact that a humanised landscape was created around the largest medieval ruins in the United Kingdom. The use of these features, combined with the planning of the water garden itself, is a true masterpiece of human creative genius.
Criterion (iv): Combining the remains of the richest abbey in England, the Jacobean Fountains Hall, and Burges’s miniature neo-Gothic masterpiece of St Mary’s, with the water gardens and deer park into one harmonious whole, Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey illustrates the power of medieval monasticism and the taste and wealth of the European upper classes in the 18th century.
