Motionless wheel

Wasting my time

Trondheim, Norway was founded by the Vikings in the 10th century. It is one of the most historically significant cities in Norway. The city center is Bakklandet, which has been beautifully preserved since it was first settled in the early 17th century.
The colorful wharves of Bakklandet have a long history as storage facilities for cargo that was brought in by ships from all over Europe. They were also used as defensive positions during enemy attacks. The oldest wharves were built around 1700 on the banks of the River Nidelva. Some were lost in fires but a few of the original wooden buildings remain today. Many of these historic structures have been converted to private homes.

The Kelpies are two giant steel horse heads designed by the Scottish artist Andy Scott and easily visible from highway A9/M9. In Scottish folklore, Kelpies are shape-shifting, horse-like water spirits said to have the strength and endurance of 100 horses. Scott designed these sculptures as a tribute to Scotland’s engineering progress and to the Falkirk area’s industrial heritage.
On the south coast of Sri Lanka there are still many tsunami ruins, abandoned and crumbling houses destroyed by the 2004 tsunami. They are readily inhabited by various animals, including birds. Here is a window with broken panes and beautiful turnery. Yesterday I have "renovated" it a little in terms of colour.
Last minute idea and I had it in my hand, a water bottle. I used a colorful paper for the background. Please, recycle ♻ them!

I have a bag of small seashells and had just bought some organic cherries. Decided to put them both to use !

A little photography project I gave myself to try and turn a cheap plastic Halloween skeleton into something more realistic.
Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire is one of England’s very few remaining pieces of original fenland. It is a protected wetland site of international standing. The wind pump here, a smock mill, was originally at nearby Adventurer’s Fen and is the last survivor of the many thousands that once dotted the fenlands.
A fen is a waterlogged place with reeds and other plants growing in standing water, beneath which are peats and, nearer the sea, marine silts. These flat wetlands were interspersed by islands (like Ely) carrying villages and small towns. Transport was by boat.
That was the original Fenland. Much of what is now called the Fens in eastern England is a modern landscape. The original fenland was drained from 1629 onwards by Dutch engineers to give very rich farmland.
An unexpected long-term result was that the underlying peat beds dried out and shrank. Fields sank by 2m or so and became lower than the drainage channels and rivers! Continuous pumping was then needed - first by wind pumps like this survivor at Wicken. Eventually the picturesque windpumps were replaced by steam power, then by diesel or electrically driven pumps.
While I was waiting for the sun to hit the top of the mountain I decided to grab my backup camera and walk around. I took some random shots until I came across this beauty. I think this ended up being my favourite over the Comp I was waiting for. Let me know what you think. VLOG below.
Sicilian Avenue is a pedestrian shopping parade in Bloomsbury, London, resembling an open air arcade, that diagonally runs in between Southampton Row and Bloomsbury Way. The street was designed by architect Robert Worley in 1906 (completed in 1910) in a monumental Edwardian style, using Italian marble throughout, colonnades and turrets. The place is well-preserved, and counts a number of shops, pavement cafés and restaurants. Ref: Wikipedia
