Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
For me, beauty is valued more than anything - the beauty that is manifest in a curved line or in an act of creativity.
~ Oscar Niemeyer
This is a close up of The Arc, a building I posted recently, and added to the first comment here.
This building was designed by Walter Franci, but I really liked the quote by Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer.
A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient the world, far richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.

Yesterday while mowing the lawn I finished listening to "When Breath Becomes Air" for the second time. Nothing like bawling your eyes out while walking behind a power mower. The book is such a beautiful testament to figuring out how to live a meaningful life. Paul Kalanathi, the author, was a brilliant man and I am grateful he found meaning and drive to share his story. Start today and examine your life, where do you find meaning and purpose? No one can define your values for you, this takes work, time, and self-reflection. It's like the quote “The trouble is, you think you have time” from Jack Kornfield's Buddha's Little Instruction Book we skitter away our time mindlessly. Today I slowed down, breathed, sipped tea and enjoyed the sunlight in the crisp morning air.

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 :(

"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." Albert Einstein
The former chapel at Princess Road Cemetery, Dawdon was once the architectural and symbolic heart of the burial ground, which opened on 5 November 1885 under the management of what became Seaham Town Council . Although the chapel no longer stands today, its presence is still part of local memory and the cemetery’s character.
Originally, the chapel served as the place where funeral services were held before burials took place in the surrounding grounds. Like many late‑Victorian municipal cemetery chapels, it would have been built in a simple Gothic style—practical, modest, and suited to a mining community that valued dignity over ornament. Its position near the centre of the cemetery made it a natural gathering point for mourners and clergy.
A dramatic moment in its history came in 1936, when the chapel’s steeple was blown down during a severe storm—an event still recalled in Dawdon’s local stories. Although the structure survived for some time afterwards, it eventually fell out of use and was later removed, leaving only its footprint in the cemetery’s layout.
Today, Princess Road Cemetery remains an active burial ground with more than 20,000 burials recorded since its opening, maintained by Seaham Town Council . The absence of the chapel gives the cemetery a more open, windswept feel, but its memory lingers in the way paths converge and in the stories passed down by families whose histories are rooted in Dawdon’s mining past.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, P.H. Berlage, Dick Braeckman, 5 B&W photos. People (uncut)
Walking thru the Kunstmuseum The Hague, formerly Gemeentemuseum The Hague) it is sometimes difficult to choose to focus on the delightful early modernist Berlagian flow of space and light or the artworks on display. Luckily there’s photography to balance things out and have it both ways, like in the pic shown here – a light court doing its magic.
Check out Hendrik van Leeuwen's text below to learn about Dirk Braeckman and this work. Thanx Hendrk, also for your narration during the visit to the museum.
“Dirk Braeckman (born in 1958 and closely associated with Ghent) felt that painting was not for him. Just as Odysseus was lured to the rocks by the song of the Sirens, an inner voice lured him to the darkroom of photography. To the magician's chamber that Dutch enthusiasts abbreviate to 'doka'. He felt at home there. Classical rules about tonal value, focus and composition were soon thrown overboard. He started painting with lamps and chemicals, in an increasingly larger format.
With him, every print has a life of its own. In the Kunstmuseum, five photos of the sea hang next to each other. All made from the same negative and yet the differences are enormous. "In my armchair, I often think about art and philosophy, but in the darkroom, I act impulsively," says Braeckman. "I want to surprise myself. Time and again. That is possible with this profession."
What drives a person? Dirk Braeckman does not want to know when he works, but he too must have core images from his youth that do not let him go. He tells us hesitantly about his father. “Unlike me, he was very sporty. He liked to dive deep into the sea. As a child, I often went with him. I would sit on the shore for hours waiting. Or worse, on a boat far out at sea. He didn’t notice it, but I never knew when he would surface again.””

"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.

Pécs was founded by Romans at the beginning of the 2nd century. By the 4th century, it became the capital of Valeria province and a significant early Christian center. Its episcopate was founded in 1009, and the first university in Hungary was founded in Pécs in 1367.
Pécs was historically a multi-ethnic city where many cultural layers were encrusted melting different values of the history of two thousand years. Previously settled in by the Romans and later the Turks, Pécs was given the UNESCO prize Cities for peace for maintaining the cultures of the minorities in 1998, and also for its tolerant and helping attitude toward refugees of the Yugoslav Wars. In 2007 Pécs was third, in 2008 it was second Livable city (The LivCom Awards) in the category of cities between 75,000 and 200,000 inhabitants.

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 :)

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.
