A vintage postage stamp from the Netherlands, issued in 1965 as part of the annual "Kinderpostzegels" (Child Welfare) series. This particular stamp, with a value of 18 cents plus a 12-cent surcharge, features a charming and colorful drawing by a child, depicting a standing person. The original child's drawing was further designed and adapted for philatelic use by Dutch designer Gerrit Noordzij.

Early September 2023...
Gear Packed & Primed! Drove west from Kearney out to Lexington Nebraska area. Once the warnings started to fire out in West Central Nebraska. It was time to do my thing. It was to see one of the last supercells of the summer of 2023 & I wasn't gonna miss out. This truly had incredible, beautiful structure. Was tornado warned & had all the right elements for what I do.
No I didn't see a Tor-nader that day. I got a few snaps of what I think was a wall cloud to the cell northwest of my location.
I was there for the structure & I got those incredible snaps... It is what I came for!
*** PERSONAL NOTE***
I travel a lot of roads LESS TRAVELED than most in Nebraska due to what I do. After the Lexington Nebraska event.. I had to shoot back a few miles due my proximity to the storm.
As I traveled west then south from Overton Nebraska .. Via Nebraska Road "748" heading west. My normal spot was taken due to harvesting from the farmers. Cows were in my favorite spot. So a drove a few miles to the west. I had been by here about 1000+ times but never realized there there was an historical marker here.
So unknowingly, as I pulled into this little area with no power-lines I found a new place to take snaps but it has some historical value. Thought I would add this link for those of you that are curious about this Famous Nebraska Historical Marker.

A very simple study of the setting super moon on April, 8th, 2020. Like the soft color-gradient at the western horizon. Luna was with a distance of only 357.035 km kilometers on its nearest distance to earth within the next five years.

i love this place,tøyenbadet, where i go for my not so regular swim.
the place is practically stacked with 70-80's memorabilia,and has this inherent charm that is becoming to a place that has remained unchanged for the last 30 years.
the last time i went swimming, i ended up behind an old lady with a hairnet,who left this unmistakeable taste of hairspray in the water.
distasteful one might say, but i kinda just closed my eyes, and drifted behind her,
and suddenly all these half-gone memories of friendly neighbors with their tea and cupcakes re-entered my mind..
and i somehow had an instantaneous feeling of "home".
so after years of detachment i'm finally rediscovering the innocent feeling of childlike safety..in a swimming-pool. filled with aerosol..
my therapist is going to kill me for this..
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!!!!

The Shiva Vishnu Temple of South Florida is a non-profit religious organization with a mission of operating a traditional Hindu temple based on Vaasthu and Agama Shaastra and imparting religious, educational, and cultural values to our community and future generations. In 1996 we embarked upon building a traditional Dravidian (South Indian) style temple under the guidance of chief architect, Dr. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, India, a well-known temple builder of international repute. The construction began in April 1999. Twelve shilpis (sculptors) came from Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu, India in April 2000 and carried out the Indianization of the temple.
The main temple building has two Raja Gopurams (entrance towers) and two Vimana Gopurams (Towers) over each of the main Shiva and Vishnu Garbagrahas (Shrines). The total area of the temple is approximately 6200 sq ft. The temple ornaments and architectural style are of Chola, and Pandya dynasty (10th century) for Shiva and Parivar (associated) shrines, and Vijayanagara dynasty (12th century) for Venkateshwara and Parivar shrines. The Ayyappa shrine is built according to the Kerala style of architecture. The second building is the community hall which opened in April of 2001. It houses educational and cultural activities and is occasionally rented for private ceremonies to Temple members and devotees.
Mahakumbhabhishekam (sacred purification) and Pranaprathishtapana (consecration) of our temple were celebrated from November 23 to 25 of 2001 and the temple has been open to the public since then. We have four well-trained priests from India who perform daily puja services. The temple’s religious rituals strictly follow the Agama Shastras: Shiva agama for Shiva and Parivar devathas, Pancharathra agama for Vishnu and parivara devathas.
The temple organizes a number of religious services and celebrates major Hindu festivals throughout the year, which are open to the general public. Devotees have the pportunity to sponsor any of these religious services. The temple priests can also conduct specific religious services on behalf of devotees either at the temple or in their homes.
The construction of the temple was made possible with generous contributions from the members of our community. The temple is operated by revenues generated from services and donations. Your generous donation is always welcome
and is tax-deductible.

España - Valladolid - Academia de CaballerÃa
***
ENGLISH:
This military academy settled in the city in 1852 in a building that a few years before had been intended to be used as a prison. When this original building caught fire, it was decided to build the current one, which began construction in 1921 and inaugurated by the kings of Spain in 1924. It is of great value, constituting an important legacy of the historicist and monumental architecture of the first decades of the century. xx. It is located in front of the Campo Grande park and Casa Mantilla, in the current Plaza Zorrilla and is, without a doubt, one of the most emblematic, representative and majestic buildings in Valladolid.
***
ESPAÑOL:
Se instaló en la ciudad en el año 1852 en un edificio que unos años antes se habÃa pretendido utilizar como presidio. Al incendiarse este primigenio edificio, se decidió edificar el actual, que se empezó a construir en 1921 e inaugurado por los reyes de España en 1924. Goza de gran valor, constituyendo un importante legado de la arquitectura historicista y monumental de las primeras décadas del siglo xx. Se ubica frente al parque del Campo Grande y la Casa Mantilla, en la actual plaza Zorrilla y es, sin duda, uno de los edificios más emblemáticos, representativos y majestuosos de Valladolid.
This is a reshoot of the still life I made a couple ways last week, to look at different lighting, framing and depth of field.
Again, I'm using the 8x10 Fomapan 400, rated at 200 ASA and developed in Thornton 2 Bath developer, at 5 minutes in each.
The tonal scale and separation of values is exceptionally good, especially considering the hard, contrasty quality of the lighting. Look at the highlights on the glass vase - see how well represented these difficult values are.
A macro of a pinecone taken in my favorite little forest in Israel. All forests are little in Israel, but this one is about 10 minutes from home. There is so little nature left in Israel, we have to preserve and value what we have.
I generally take a photo and then do my value sketch. If time I do a color sketch but most time I just paint. Really I don't care so much about local color because I will do my own thing from the value study. It works for me.

Uploaded for interest value this shot catches a Derby Twin DMU (class 114) passing west through Mirfield on 12th April 1977 with a Huddersfield service.
At the time Mirfield still had its overall roof and while it may have provided shelter from the rain, it could be pretty gloomy as this and the attached shot shows.

A conspicuous show of tribal power by Mursi boys with Kalashnikovs. The Kalashnikov symbolizes wealth, status, and power. Above all, it provides protection during cattle drives and fire-power in armed conflicts with neighbouring tribes.
The value of a Kalashnikov can range from five to thirty-five cows and often figures into the bride-wealth or payment made by the husband’s family to the bride's family.
This semi-nomadic pastoral settlement is situated on the upper bank of the Mago River, a tributary that joins the essential Omo River in the remote southwestern corner of Ethiopia.
Shot under the noonday sun near the end of a long hot dry season regularly exceeding 40°C in the shade.

Postscript on the proliferation of automatic weapons in the region
The rapid increase of automatic weapons and small arms in the lower Omo Valley has fuelled severe cycles of inter-ethnic violence, exacerbated by traditional cattle raids, opportunistic bush sniping, and territorial skirmishes often escalating into broader warfare.
Spears and other traditional weapons in the region were replaced with automatic assault rifles in the 1980s as they became more accessible during the decades-long civil war in neighbouring South Sudan.
A surplus of automatic weapons circulating in the larger Horn of Africa was also accessible through other channels, including a flow of small arms and ammunition from longstanding wars across the borders in Somalia and northern Uganda. SKS and AK-47 assault rifles were easily available, relatively cheap, and easy to use.
Large numbers of automatic weapons were also imported from the USSR to Communist allies around the world during the global Cold War, including Ethiopia. SKS semi-automatic Russian-made rifles were a precursor to the AK-47 and were widely available after the fall of the Derg, the Communist military junta that ruled Ethiopia under Mengistu Haile Mariam from 1974 to 1987.
The consequent disbanding of the Ethiopian army and police force produced a flood of automatic weapons on the market. They became accessible, in part, through established tribal links with arms dealers in the Ethiopian highlands further to the east of the Omo Basin.
The Mursi and Mursiland
Most Mursi live in small settlements dispersed across Mursiland, a remote territory of about thirty by eighty kilometres between the Omo and Mago Rivers in southwestern Ethiopia, a day or two overland to the borders with South Sudan and northern Kenya.
The terrain varies from a volcanic plain dominated by a range of hills and a major watershed to a riverine forest, wooded grasslands and thorny bushland thickets. The climate is harsh and unstable with low rainfall and daily temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C in the shade during the dry season.
The Mursi are semi-nomadic farmers and herders who depend on shifting hoe-cultivation (mostly drought-resistant varieties of sorghum) and cattle herding for their livelihood. They number less than ten thousand today. expl#33
