Please feel free to give some feedback by visiting the 'About' page on this site and leaving a testimonial. Your words are much valued by me and I'm open to hearing what YOU think.
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 ...

I 'm not convinced of the value of these two shots, nor even if they are OK, which composition works best?
this is the lowest value of our money which still easy to get and accepted in mostly market. another coin such as 50 idr, 25 idr, has disappear. i can't find them anymore. have no idea tonight, so i try to shoot it. i hope you enjoy it, my flickr friends. another experiment.
Porcelain Patchwork by Narin Kantawong:
"I was fascinated by the ancient Chinese Porcelain vases and wanted to re-create the broken pieces patched together. Like putting together a new story, new values and feelings through times."

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 :)

Arquitecto :Martin de Carrera
Architect: Martin de Carrera
El ayuntamiento de Oñati es Monumento Histórico Artístico de la Provincia de Gipuzkoa desde 1964, y su obra es considerada como una de las más importantes del Barroco Civil en todo el País Vasco. Si la Universidad de Oñati realizada bajo el mecenazgo de Mercado de Zuazola se puede comparar con las más importantes universidades renacentistas del momento, el Ayuntamiento aunque cronológicamente no es el primero de estas características, es motivo de referencia constante, por su factura, ubicación y belleza.
El edificio municipal construído entre los años de 1764-1783 fue diseñado por Martín de Carrera, colaborando con el proceso constructivo Francisco de Echánove quien se encargó de la cantería y Francisco de Cortaberría y Miguel de Sarazíbar de la carpinteria. La más que notable labor de herrería la llevaron a cabo José de Labroche, Joaquín de Arbe y Ventura Jubiondo, correspondiento el diseño de la sillería de la sala principal Manuel Martín de Carrera . A pesar del fallecimiento del arquitecto Martín de Carrera el 31 de agosto de 1768, la obra se desarrolla con normalidad, entregándose en los plazos establecidos.
La Casa Consistorial de Oñati es una construcción exenta de finales del Barroco que está ubicada en uno de los extremos de la plaza, entre las calles Zumalacárregui y Barria, poseyendo un fuerte sentido urbano. Edificio de piedra sillar, tiene planta rectangular, acceso por soportales más dos alturas y cubierta a cuatro aguas. Su fachada principal tiene una composición simple y una primorosa decoración con destacada obra de cantería y talla que da al edificio un valor añadido. Cuatro pilastras gigantes elevadas sobre unas pequeñas basas, van desde el suelo hasta prácticamente la cornisa y recorren verticalmente dicha fachada ordenando simetricamente la composición en tres alturas. Al nivel del suelo se abren los soportales que dan acceso al pórtico por medio tres arcos carpaneles, algo retranquedados con respento a las pilastras, lo que aumenta el movimiento en fachada. Los pisos superiores poseen seis vanos moldurados, tres por cada altura que corresponden con los balcones, en torno a los cuales se concentra la riquísima decoración: rocallas, orejeras, frontones curvos partidos, florones, cartelas, molduras, hojarasca, elementos vegetales, veneras, ménsulas, guirnaldas caídas, decoración menuda…. Por otra parte la labor de forja de los balcones y la escalinata son de magnífica factura, a base de de rocallas, flores de chapa recortada, formas geométicas con juegos ondulados y líneas redondeadas en movimiento. La abundancia decorativa continúa en el tramo central con el escudo, que rompe el alero dejándolo a modo de frontón. Finalmente cinco pináculos sobre el tejado coincidiendo con las bandas de fachada, aumenta todavía más la faceta decorativa. Eli nterior es conglomerado y se accede mediante los arcos cubiertos de bóveda de arista enyesados. Bajo ellos se encuentra la puerta principal que conduce a una gran escalera de un tramo, que tras el descansillo se convierte en escalera doble. La caja de esta escalera está cubierta con un pequeño tambor ciego y un cupulín con gajos. El gran salón de sesiones tiene tres puertas de entrada, coincidentes con los balcones de fachada. Las fachadas laterales son de piedra sillar en la primera planta y el resto de mampostería revocada. La variedad de usos; juzgado, vivienda, archivo, alhóndiga, cárcel… parece que caracterizó los primeros años de actividad de este singular edificio, cuya popularidad hace olvidar otros ayuntamientos de similar composición que carecen de su elegancia
The town hall of Oñati has been a Historic Artistic Monument of the Province of Gipuzkoa since 1964, and its work is considered one of the most important of the Civil Baroque in the whole of the Basque Country. If the University of Oñati, built under the patronage of Mercado de Zuazola, can be compared with the most important Renaissance universities of the time, the Town Hall, although chronologically not the first of these characteristics, is a constant reference point for its workmanship, location and beauty.
The municipal building, built between 1764 and 1783, was designed by Martín de Carrera, with Francisco de Echánove collaborating in the construction process, who was in charge of the stonework, and Francisco de Cortaberría and Miguel de Sarazíbar in charge of the carpentry. The more than notable ironwork was carried out by José de Labroche, Joaquín de Arbe and Ventura Jubiondo, with the design of the seating in the main hall corresponding to Manuel Martín de Carrera. Despite the death of the architect Martín de Carrera on 31 August 1768, the work was carried out normally and was delivered within the established time frame.
The Town Hall of Oñati is a free-standing building from the late Baroque period, located at one end of the square, between Zumalacárregui and Barria streets, with a strong urban feel. The ashlar stone building has a rectangular floor plan, access through arcades and two floors and a hipped roof. Its main façade has a simple composition and exquisite decoration with outstanding stonework and carving that gives the building added value. Four giant pillars raised on small bases, go from the ground to practically the cornice and run vertically along the façade, symmetrically arranging the composition in three floors. At ground level, the arcades open out and give access to the portico through three basket-shaped arches, slightly set back from the pillars, which increases the movement of the façade. The upper floors have six moulded openings, three for each height, corresponding to the balconies, around which the rich decoration is concentrated: rocailles, lancets, split curved pediments, rosettes, cartouches, mouldings, foliage, plant elements, scallops, corbels, hanging garlands, small decoration... On the other hand, the wrought iron work on the balconies and the staircase is of magnificent workmanship, based on rocailles, cut metal flowers, geometric shapes with wavy interplays and rounded lines in movement. The decorative abundance continues in the central section with the coat of arms, which breaks the eaves leaving it as a pediment. Finally, five pinnacles on the roof coinciding with the façade bands, further increase the decorative aspect. The interior is made of conglomerate and is accessed through the arches covered with plastered groin vaults. Below them is the main door leading to a large one-flight staircase, which after the landing becomes a double staircase. The stairwell is covered with a small blind drum and a small dome with segments. The large assembly hall has three entrance doors, coinciding with the balconies on the façade. The side façades are made of ashlar stone on the first floor and the rest of plastered masonry. The variety of uses; court, residence, archive, market, prison… seems to have characterised the first years of activity of this unique building, whose popularity makes us forget other town halls of a similar composition that lack its elegance.

7 Days with Flickr - Anything goes Mondays
Macro Mondays theme "Back In The Day"
For this week theme, “Back In The Day”, the only thing I could think of was the Canadian one cent (also called penny). This currency was discontinued in May 2012, date of the last production. One of the reason was that the production cost was higher than the currency value. Actually 1.6 cent per penny produced. If you want my two cents, this was a good decision!
A Canadian penny measures 0.75” in diameter.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

Fotografia feta amb la Hasselblad SWC, fabricada el 1976; pel·licula infrarroja Kodak Aerochrome, caducada com a mínim el 2011; f11 a 1/125 amb filtre taronja; revelada amb el kit C41 de Bellini.
El pont romanic de Sant Martí d'Albars sobre la Riera Gavarressa, al Lluçanés.
Sense cap mena de dubte, la emulsió més cotitzada avui en dia, i això que parlem de pel·licula caducada com a mínim des del 2011 o abans, és la Kodak Aerochrome. Molt probablement ja haureu sentit parlar d'ella si feu fotografia analògica. Es tracta d'una emulsió infrarroja en color, teoricament per a revelar com a diapositiva, però que sovint és més conveninent revelar-la com a negatiu amb el procés C41, ja que és menys exigent a una correcta exposició (i ho és molt), especialment ara que està caducada. Tot i que té un ISO de 400 per a diapositiva, millor exposar per a ISO 320 com a negatiu.

=======================
Picture taken with a Hasselblad SWC, made in 1976; Kodak Aerochrome infrarred film, expired at least from 2011; f11 at 1/125 s., with orange filter; developed with the C41 kit by Bellini.
The medieval bridge near Sant Martí d'Albars, crossing the Gavarressa stream.
Without a doubt, the most desired and valued emulsion today (and we're talking about expired film since at least 2011 or earlier) is the Kodak Aerochrome. You've probably heard of it by now if you do analog photography. It is a color infrared emulsion, theoretically to be developed as a slide, but it is often more convenient to develop it as a negative with the C41 process, since it is less demanding on a correct exposure (and it is a lot) , especially now that it's expired. Although it rated at ISO 400 for slides, better to expose for ISO 320 as a negative.

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 fortified early Gothic church from the first half of the 14th century was built on the site of an older building. In the 15th century it was fortified with a wall and a wooden bell tower was built on the grounds in 1657. The single-nave space with a square-ended presbytery and a built-in sacristy has a painted cassette ceiling from 1758, the presbytery is characteristic by its rib vault. The mural paintings date back to the 60s of the 14th century and the creator of at least a part of them is the Master of Ochtiná presbytery. These interior frescoes were discovered in the early 20th century by I. Huszka who was restoring them in 1905. All the paintings, interior and exterior ones, were completely restored between 1983 and 1985 by J. Josefík, L. Székely and I. Žuch.
Within the almost intact medieval church, the murals have a uniquely strong impression and informative value, thanks to their scale and complexity of preservation. Thematically they focus on individual scenes from the Marian and the Passion cycle, but they do not have a uniform concept unlike the upper belt on the nave’s northern wall with a complete depiction of the St. Ladislaus legend.

Morten: Is it? Have we done it?
Moon: Yes.
Morten: Made the perfect photo that renders all other photos with no value when compared???
Moon: It would be cruel to show this to the world....
Morten: Click, click.... there, permanent delete....
Moon: But that was cool...
Morten: Yea...
I may be dead now... Not a shot I planned to use, one of those I just snap of to check exposure but when deleting shots from disk other night kind of liked what my silly brain read into this one.
Taken on the last Flickr meeting I attended, may not be invited to any more....

Puerto Madero is a revamped dockside area. Its converted redbrick buildings contain upscale steakhouses popular with tourists and business lunchers. Sleek skyscrapers house multinational corporations and high-value apartments. Trails loop around several lakes at the wildlife-rich Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, which draws families and joggers. Spanning the docks, Puente de la Mujer is a graceful suspension bridge.
Burns have entertainment value, but also purpose.
I have a special burn barrel with the bottom cut out. This is so I can move it around and place it on top of the large clumps of invasive non-native grass that I am trying to kill which is invading my wildflower meadow. (It's too rocky here to dig these deep-rooted grasses out).
The best time to kill grass with fire is in the summer when it is putting its energy into its leaves. In dormancy the plant's energy (and biomass) is safer, down in its roots. However, there is not enough burn load with the dead grass itself to eradicate it, so I use junk mail and other paper products. This is how grass was designed--to be grazed to the ground and be able to regrow.
I will continue to work this small plot through the summer, then it will take a couple years to build the micro-organisms back up, which I will hasten with an inoculation of soil from the creek, compost, and sprays of molasses. Then hopefully the wildflowers will recolonize.
Chance and I have become amazing friends. For AGES I have wanted to step out on friend date with her and FINALLY we got to!
We went to Fogbound because the music is good, the dance machines always updated and the place crowded enough that nobody knows us.
She wore the sweetest dress, so I wore the swankiest slacks and we just danced the night away.
Both of us have had experiences there with people who later didn't do right by either of us, so us, together there, rewrote over allll the bad as we made some good memories together.
Also I got to dip her. A lot ;-)
Je t'aime ma ami belle!

So I just heard back from a local gallery that wants to show my work. I had just about given up that I would ever hear a thing. Super pleased. It will be my first.
Oh and i just realized, today is my one year flickrversary. Hooray! Flickrpeople, you rock!!!!

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The McCrae House, located at 108 Water Street, is situated on the southeast corner of Water Street and McCrae Boulevard in the City of Guelph. This one-and-a-half-storey limestone cottage was built in the vernacular and was constructed circa 1857.
The property was designated by the City of Guelph for its heritage significance under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law (1979)-10058).
Heritage Value
The McCrae House is the 1872 birthplace of famous Canadian physician, soldier and poet, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.
John McCrae joined the military as a cadet at the age of fourteen. His first experience in battle was as the company captain of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada in the South African War. Although John was forty-one years old when the First World War began in August 1914, his sense of duty compelled him to enlist. Rather than work in relative comfort at a convalescent hospital, John chose to work in the trenches near Ypres, Belgium.
It was during the Second Battle of Ypres, after burying a young friend, that John wrote, “In Flanders Fields.” The poem captured many sentiments of the First World War and as a result of the poem the poppy became a symbol of remembrance throughout the Commonwealth.
The McCrae House is a modest limestone cottage constructed circa 1857. The property also contains a coach house and an outhouse. The structural character and details of the stone house, the porch, and the board and batten accessory building are all representative of domestic architecture in the Guelph area during the 1860s.
The McCrae House is situated on a large property surrounded by Janet McCrae's Garden, an initiative started in 1998 that created a cottage garden using plants of the 1850-1880 time period to restore the entire property to its original splendour. There are six different small gardens surrounding the home, including a kitchen garden and a spring bulb garden. Each of the six gardens greatly contributes to the overall beauty of the property. Within the gardens is a monument that was erected in memory of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of the McCrae House include the:
- use of locally-quarried limestone
- board and batten accessory building
- monument in memorial to John McCrae
- gardens surrounding the home, resembling those of the period between 1850 and 1880 in both design and composition which include the kitchen garden, the rose garden, the potager garden, the spring bulb garden, the granny garden, the stump garden, and the drying green
Here are front and back views of a remarkable Bee Fly (Bombyliidae, Diptera) that seems to have a face on each end! It's working a new flower of native (but weedy) Telegraph Weed (Heterotheca grandiflora, Asteraceae) in the woods a few days ago. I believe this fly is Geminaria canalis - there's nothing else is like it. You can see its long proboscis and true eyes on the left, but what's really remarkable are the those dark "faux eyes" on its back end that reflect light just like Jumping Spider (Salticidae) eyes. I have another nice shot of the whole fly in this photo, and see this photo to appreciate its value as mimicry. These unusual flies are never common, and this the first one I've ever seen in our home canyon. HFDF! (San Marcos Pass, 5 October 2020)
