Once upon a time exploring Kew Gardens in England. Came across this gorgeous sculpture by Simon Gudgeon. It’s titled Leaf Spirit
In the stripped harbor
of a broken word,
a syllable,
the cloud opens to rain
the rain to river
and the river to the ocean
A flickering wish
floats on waves
drawing life from the
mourning salt,
my dancing flower.
Negotiating passage with
the storm and
the thread of water
I recklessly look
for a seabreeze
to carry that wish,
in the closed, open
and half open spaces of
my mind

«No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee»

This station is rightly famous because of its architecture. Designed in 1903 by prolific architect James Miller who designed many fine buildings in Glasgow and surrounding area, it is noted for its use of steel and glass allowing the station to be filled with natural light. The design is also noted for its curves which allow ease of movement by the travellers. It connects too to a pier where one can catch a ferry to Rothesay on the Island of Bute.
Found this little key in a wooden box on my desk, it's been there for years but I have no idea what it might open. Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
Me sangran las palabras que nunca diré
P.D. Ningún sentimiento fue herido durante la ejecución de esta foto...
I´m bleeding the words that I´ll never say
PS. No feelings were injured during the making of this photo...
I have never liked the taste of any variety of fresh fruit. I don’t know why (so many people ask); I just don’t.
Fortunately for my health I do eat vegetables, which, I guess keeps me from the likes of scurvy.
All my life I have put-up with people extolling the values and the goodness of fruit consumption, with regular attempts at converting my views.
Typical comments include the classics:
“go-on just try one,”
and
“your tastes change over time,”
As a child, my weekend visits to my Grandmother’s house would often be met with offers of an apple, banana, orange or pear, resulting in repeated explanation that I simply do not like any fruit.
The pressures from others for me to conform; not least from various Government campaigns over the years have pushed me from merely not liking the taste to pure hatred.
Like a bizarre butterfly collection, this typology of murderous images is both my therapy and my revenge.

Nova Scotia has some of the finest Church Structures to be found, however due to the decrease in parishioners these architectural wonders are slowly deteriorating to the point where they will disappear from our landscape. One such beauty is Église Sainte-Marie in Church Point, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is one of the largest and tallest wooden buildings in North America. This magnificent structure may soon if it has not already pass the point of repair. I decided I had to get one more photo of this building before it goes. It was a round trip of over 5 hours but I had to go. It is now closed to the public but there are Youtube videos of the inside. A close up of the exterior shows how time has begun to take its toll.
I've posted a similar shot previously, but the light and wind were more cooperative for this one. Plus I'm trying out the ultra-wide Laowa MFT 7.5 f2. This was probably taken at f/5.6 (the exif is incorrect). I used the E-M1 II's pixel-shift mode to take a 50 mega-pixal image. Post processing corrected the small amount of barrel distortion and fixed the vignetting. I then cropped and post-processed down to 4K resolution for presentation here.
